Description

  The present invention belongs to a technical field related to a bending apparatus for bending a tape-like (plate-like, strip-like) wire so that the width direction coincides with the bending radial direction.

  Recently, there has been an increasing demand for bending a tape-shaped wire rod so that the width direction coincides with the bending radial direction, as in the case of winding a rectangular wire (flat plate wire) as an electric wire around a rectangular coil. This bending process has a characteristic that the compressive force acts on the inner side of the bent portion of the wire and the tensile force acts on the outer side, so that the wire is likely to be deformed and damaged at the bent portion. For this reason, development of the bending technique which can prevent the deformation | transformation and damage of the bending part of a wire is eagerly desired.

Conventionally, for example, the following is known as a bending technique aimed at preventing deformation and damage of a bent portion of a wire.
In JP-A-2003-181579, an inner jig and an outer jig are arranged in the width direction of the wire, and a front side regulating member and a back side regulating member are arranged in the thickness direction of the wire. A bending apparatus is described.

  The bending apparatus according to Patent Document 1 is configured to bend a fulcrum of an inner jig made of a shaft while regulating the thickness direction of the wire with a front-side regulating member and a back-side regulating member formed of a U-shaped flange that sandwiches the wire. As described above, the outer jig made of a roller is rotated, and the four surfaces of the tape-shaped wire are regulated, pressed, and bent to prevent deformation and damage of the wire.

  In the bending apparatus according to Patent Document 1, since the front-side regulating member and the back-side regulating member are brought into contact with the front and back surfaces of the wire rod in a planar shape, the subsequent portion of the wire rod is slightly deformed by the previous bending, or the wire rod If there is an inherently poor deformation portion, it becomes difficult to supply the wire between the front side regulating member and the back side regulating member, which hinders continuous bending.

  The present invention has been made in consideration of such problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a bending apparatus capable of continuously bending while preventing deformation and damage of a bent portion of a wire. .

  In order to solve the above-described problems, the bending apparatus according to the present invention employs means described in each of the claims.

  That is, in claim 1, the inner jig and the outer jig are arranged relative to the width direction of the tape-shaped wire, and the front side regulating member and the back side regulating member are arranged relative to the thickness direction of the tape-shaped wire. In the bending apparatus that presses the wire whose thickness direction is regulated by the front side regulating member and the back side regulating member by turning the outer jig with the inner jig as a bending fulcrum, the front side regulating member and the back side regulating member are at least One of the rollers is a roller that rotates and moves in the length direction of the wire integrally with the outer jig.

  In this means, at least one of the front-side regulating member and the back-side regulating member that prevents deformation and damage of the wire rod is rolled, and the surface of the wire rod is brought into linear contact with at least one surface of the wire rod and the back surface by the roller. , The restriction on at least one of the back surfaces is relaxed so that slight deformation or the like can be absorbed.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the bending apparatus according to the first aspect of the present invention, the center line of rotation of the roller coincides with the radial line of rotation of the outer jig.

  In this means, the axis of rotation of the roller coincides with the diameter of the rotation of the outer jig so that the roller axis is always positioned in the width direction of the wire even at the bent portion.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the bending apparatus according to the first or second aspect, the width of the roller in the axial direction of the outer peripheral surface is larger than the width of the wire.

  In this means, by making the roller larger than the width of the wire, the roller is surely restricted even to the edge in the width direction of the wire.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the bending apparatus according to any one of the first to third aspects, the outer jig is provided with a distance adjusting mechanism capable of adjusting the distance from the inner jig independently of the roller. It is characterized by that.

  This means simplifies the structure of the gap adjusting mechanism by allowing the gap adjusting mechanism to adjust the gap between the outer jig and the inner jig independently of the roller.

  Further, according to claim 5, in the bending apparatus according to any one of claims 1 to 4, the inner jig is provided with a curved surface that is in contact with the inner side surface of the bending of the wire and a flat surface, and is fixed in place. The outer jig is provided with a linear pressing surface that comes into contact with the outer side surface of the bending of the wire rod.

  In this method, the inner jig is provided with a flat surface that is continuous with the curved surface, thereby avoiding concentration of the pressing force in the direction away from the inner jig at the final stage of the bending process, so that the wire is near the inner jig. This prevents the deformation that bulges inward in the bending direction. In addition, the outer jig is provided with a linear pressing surface that disperses the pressing force against the wire, and the inner jig is shared with the outer jig to secure play between the wire, the inner jig, and the outer jig. By adopting a structure that does not rotate, the stress of the pressing force is prevented from concentrating inside the wire and causing cracks.

  In the bending apparatus according to the present invention, at least one of a front-side regulating member and a back-side regulating member that prevents deformation and damage of the wire is rolled, and the roller is linearly brought into contact with at least one of the front and back surfaces of the wire. In order to relax the restriction of at least one of the front and back surfaces of the wire so that slight deformation can be absorbed, the deformation and damage of the bent portion of the wire can be prevented and the effect of being able to bend continuously. is there.

  The best mode for carrying out a bending apparatus according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the tape-shaped wire W is intended for a flat wire which is an electric wire, and is suitable for bending the wire W to approximately 90 degrees and winding it into a rectangular coil. It is.

  In this embodiment, as in the bending apparatus according to Patent Document 1, the inner jig 1 and the outer jig 2 are arranged in the width direction of the wire W, and the outer jig 2 is set with the inner jig 1 as a bending fulcrum. Is configured to be rotated.

  The inner jig 1 includes an inner jig body 11 that is a sector plate and a shaft 12 to which the inner jig body 11 is attached.

  The inner jig main body 11 of the inner jig 1 has a curved surface 11a and flat surfaces 11b and 11c with which side surfaces Wa of the inner side of the wire W are in contact with each other. The curved surface 11a is formed with a curvature corresponding to the curvature of the wire W, and the bent portion of the side surface Wa inside the wire W is in contact with the curved surface 11a. The flat surfaces 11b and 11c are formed continuously at an angle of approximately 90 degrees before and after the curved surface 11a, and the straight portions before and after the bent portion of the side surface Wa inside the bending of the wire rod W abut. . However, the flat surface 11c on the rear side (the lower side of the supply of the wire W) has a bending limit deeper than 90 degrees at an angle a of about 2 to 5 degrees in consideration of the spring back of the bent wire W. It is set to be regulated (see FIG. 5). The inner jig main body 11 is provided with a fan-shaped flange 11d protruding in a bowl shape on the curved surface 11a and flat surfaces 11b and 11c. The lower surface of the flange 11d is a front-side regulating member 3 that faces a part of the surface Wc of the wire W.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the shaft 12 of the inner jig 1 is supported at the lower end surface by the height adjustment bolt 13 so that the height can be adjusted, and penetrates the fixed shaft 5 erected on the base 4. It is fixed by a lock bolt 14 screwed to the fixed shaft 5. The inner jig main body 11 is detachably attached to the upper end surface of the shaft 12 by a mounting bolt 15.

  The outer jig 2 includes an upper plate 21 of a rectangular plate body and a lower plate 22 laminated on a part of the lower surface of the upper plate 21.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the upper plate 21 of the outer jig 2 is provided with a flange 21a that is formed with a rectangular step on the lower surface facing the inner jig 1 and protrudes in a bowl shape toward the inner jig 1 side. It has been. The upper surface of the step portion of the upper plate 21 (the lower surface of the flange 21a) is the front-side regulating member 3 that faces a part of the surface Wc of the wire rod W (the front side that is the lower surface of the flange 11d of the inner jig body 11 of the inner jig 1). It is located on the same surface as the regulating member 3). A side surface of the step portion of the upper plate 21 is a pressing surface 21b that presses the outer side surface Wb of the wire W with the surface. The upper plate 21 is detachably attached to a support base 7 integrally raised on the upper portion of the sleeve-shaped rotary shaft 6 fitted to the outside of the fixed shaft 5 by means of mounting bolts 23. The rotating shaft 6 is rotationally driven via a gear or the like fitted on the outside.

  An interval adjusting mechanism 8 is provided between the upper plate 21 of the outer jig 2 and the support base 7. The distance adjusting mechanism 8 is formed by screwing an adjusting bolt 83 that abuts against the upper plate 21 of the outer jig 2 to a base plate 82 fixed to the support base 7 with mounting bolts 81. The insertion hole of the mounting bolt 23 for attaching the upper plate 21 to the support base 7 is used as a long hole 84 to allow the upper plate 21 of the outer jig 2 to approach and separate from the inner jig 1.

  As shown in FIGS. 1, 5, and 6, the lower plate 22 of the outer jig 2 is laminated on a part of the lower surface of the upper plate 21 on the lower side of the supply of the wire W and is fixed with a mounting bolt 24. . The lower plate 22 supports the wire W inserted through the step portion of the upper plate 21 and prevents the wire W from hanging down.

  A wire rod supply mechanism 9 for guiding and supplying the wire rod W is adjacent to the outer jig 2. When the outer jig 2 is in the pre-rotation position (before the bending process), as shown in FIG. 7, the wire rod supply mechanism 9 and the outer jig 2 are arranged in a straight line, and the wire rod W is the wire rod supply mechanism. The wire W is supplied linearly from 9 to the outer jig 2.

  A back side regulating member 10 made of a roller is rotatably supported on the support base 7. In the back side regulating member 10, the roller main body 102 is rotatably supported on a rotating shaft 101 fixed to the support base 7. As shown in FIG. 3, the roller body 102 is formed so that the axial width of the outer peripheral surface is larger than the width of the wire W, and the inner jig body 11 of the inner jig 1 and the upper plate 21 of the outer jig 2 In contact with the front-side regulating member 3. The back side regulating member 10 is arranged such that the rotation center line X coincides with the rotation radial line Y of the outer jig 2.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, the wire jig 9 and the outer jig 2 are arranged in a straight line at the position before the outer jig 2 rotates.

  At this time, the inner side surface Wa of the bending of the wire W is in contact with the flat surface 11b on the front side (the upper side of the supply of the wire W) of the inner jig body 11 of the inner jig 1. Further, the outer side surface Wb of the wire rod W is in contact with the pressing surface 21 b of the upper plate 21 of the outer jig 2. Further, the surface Wc of the wire W is brought into contact with the front side regulating member 3 of the flange 11 d of the inner jig body 11 of the inner jig 1 and the front side regulating member 3 of the flange 21 a of the upper plate 21 of the outer jig 2. Yes. Further, the back surface Wd of the wire W is in contact with the roller body 102 of the back side regulating member 10. In addition, about these contact | abutting with respect to the wire W, the slight clearance is ensured and it is not in the state which forcibly restrains the wire W.

  When the outer jig 2 is in the pre-rotation position, the back surface Wd of the wire W is brought into contact with the roller body 102 of the back-side regulating member 10 in a line, and is brought into contact with the surface as in the bending apparatus according to Patent Document 1. Therefore, even if the subsequent portion of the wire W is slightly deformed by the previous bending process or the wire W has inherently poor deformation, the regulation of the back surface Wd of the wire W is slightly deformed. Can be relaxed so that it can be absorbed. For this reason, the supply of the wire rod W between the front side regulating member 3 and the back side regulating member 10 becomes difficult, and there is no problem in continuous bending.

  In order to execute the bending process in this form, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the outer jig 2 and the back side regulating member 10 are integrated with the inner jig together with the rotary shaft 6 that is rotated by driving from a gear or the like. The wire W is bent by rotating 1 as a bending fulcrum. That is, the wire W is bent approximately 90 degrees along the curved surface 11 a of the inner jig body 11 of the inner jig 1.

  At this time, since the pressing surface 21b of the upper plate 21 of the outer jig 2 presses the outer side surface Wb of the wire W with the surface, concentration of the pressing force on a part of the wire W is avoided. Further, since the wire W is not pinched by the inner jig 1 and the outer jig 2 (see, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2005-93852), the wire W and the inner jig 1 and the outer jig 2 do not rotate. (Particularly together with the clearance around the wire W described above) is ensured. Therefore, the stress due to the pressing force is not concentrated in the wire W and cracks are not generated. Further, a flat surface 11c on the rear side of the inner jig body 11 of the inner jig 1 is disposed at a position where the pressing force in the direction away from the inner jig 1 is likely to concentrate at the final stage of bending of the wire W. ing. Therefore, the wire W does not deform so as to bulge in the bending inner direction in the vicinity of the inner jig 1.

  Further, the surface Wc of the wire W is brought into contact with the front-side regulating member 3 of the flange 11d of the inner jig body 11 of the inner jig 1 and the front-side regulating member 3 of the flange 21a of the upper plate 21 of the outer jig 2. Although the back surface Wd of W is linear, it is in contact with the back side regulating member 10, so that deformation of the wire W in the thickness direction is also reliably prevented. In particular, the center line of rotation of the back side regulating member 10 is aligned with the diameter of the rotation of the outer jig 2 and is moved and pressed in the length direction along the bending of the wire W integrally with the outer jig 2. Since the roller main body 102 of the back side regulating member 10 is always located at a portion where the wire W is easily deformed, prevention of deformation of the wire W in the thickness direction is effectively realized. Further, since the axial width of the outer peripheral surface of the roller main body 102 of the back side regulating member 10 is formed to be larger than the width of the wire W, it is possible to reliably regulate even the edge in the width direction of the wire W to ensure deformation. To prevent. Moreover, since the flat surface 11b on the front side of the inner jig body 11 of the inner jig 1 receives the repulsive force of the wire W due to the pressure on the front side of the bent portion of the wire W, the wire W is bent around the bent portion of the wire W. Is also reliably prevented.

  After the completion of the bending process of the wire W, the outer jig 2 is integrally rotated with the rotation axis 6 that is rotated by driving from a gear or the like, and the inner jig 1 is bent in the opposite direction as a bending fulcrum. The state shown in FIG. 7 is restored via the state shown in FIG. And the wire W is newly supplied for a fixed length.

  When the outer jig 2 is returned, even if the wire W is deformed, the back-side regulating member 10 is made of a roller, so that the back-side regulating member 10 can move smoothly while absorbing the deformation. .

  The inner jig body 11 of the inner jig 1 is detachably attached to the shaft 12, the shaft 12 of the inner jig 1 is supported by the base 4 so that the height can be adjusted, and the outer jig 2 is supported by the support base 7. Since the distance between the outer jig 2 and the inner jig 1 can be adjusted by the distance adjusting mechanism 8, the inner jig 1 corresponds to the dimension of the wire W, the bending angle, and the like. The outer jig 2 can be easily replaced and adjusted. Therefore, a high degree of versatility is provided. In addition, since the outer jig 2 can adjust the gap with the inner jig 1 independently of the back side regulating member 10 in the gap adjusting mechanism 8, the structure of the gap adjusting mechanism 8 is simplified. Yes.

  As described above, the front side regulating member 3 can be a roller, or both the front side regulating member 3 and the back side regulating member 10 can be rollers.

  In the best mode for carrying out the bending apparatus according to the present invention described above, the clearance around the wire W is secured when the wire W is a copper-based material having a width of 8 mm and a thickness of 1 mm. The thickness is preferably 0.05 mm and 0.20 mm in the width direction. Moreover, about the angle a which considers the above-mentioned spring back in case the wire W is the same dimension, 3 degree | times is preferable.

  The bending apparatus according to the present invention can be widely applied to the bending of a tape-shaped wire W in general, in addition to the case where a rectangular wire which is an electric wire is bent to approximately 90 degrees and wound around a rectangular coil. Is.
