Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to a hydraulic circuit in a bending machine.
More specifically, the present invention relates to a hydraulic circuit in a bending machine in which a protection circuit is formed in which a relief valve is provided between a counterbalance valve and a safety valve provided in a movable table lowering circuit.

[Technical background of the invention and its problems] Conventionally, for example, a hydraulic circuit for raising and lowering a movable table of a hydraulic press brake has been designed to supply pressure oil from a hydraulic pump to a cylinder for raising and lowering via an electromagnetic switching valve, and to raise and lower the movable table. It comprised a circuit that performs the lifting and lowering operations.

However, when the upper mold is brought an appropriate distance closer to the lower mold, and once the approach is stopped and the state is maintained, there is a lack of accuracy in maintaining the stopping position accuracy, and furthermore,
If an abnormal pressure is applied between the molds, there is a problem of lack of safety due to the single circuit configuration.

[Purpose of the invention] The present invention was devised in view of the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to improve the connection between the counterbalance valve and servo valve that constitute the return circuit to the oil tank when lowering the upper mold of a bending machine. A bypass circuit is provided in the middle of the pipeline that runs from the electromagnetic switching valve through the orifice to the safety valve, and a release valve is provided between the counterbalance valve and the safety valve to improve the accuracy of the stopping position of the upper mold and to prevent unexpected accidents inside the pipeline. An object of the present invention is to provide a hydraulic circuit in a bending machine that can protect equipment even against sudden pressure increases.

[Means for solving the problem] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a system in which a pump is connected to one oil chamber of a hydraulic cylinder for vertically moving a movable table that supports a mold in a bending machine. A counterbalance valve and a safety valve are sequentially arranged and provided in a return line connected to the other oil chamber of the hydraulic cylinder, and the safety valve is connected to the B port of the servo valve. A solenoid switching valve for controlling the opening and closing of the safety valve is connected to the safety valve via an orifice, and a relief valve is branched to the connection path connecting the counterbalance valve and the safety valve. It is.

[Operation] By adopting the present invention, when lowering the movable table to which the upper mold is fixed in order to bring the upper mold and the lower mold closer to each other and stop them at an appropriate distance,
A delay time is set so that the servo valve decelerates and stops, and at the same time the safety valve opens via the orifice which is narrowed to a predetermined amount.

Furthermore, a relief valve provided between the safety valve and the counterbalance valve is activated when any abnormal pressure occurs in the pipe line, and returns the abnormal pressure oil in the pipe line to the tank.

This allows the lowering stop position of the upper mold to be stopped without deviation from the target value, and also protects equipment from damage due to abnormal pressure.

[Example] Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described in detail based on the drawings.

Referring to FIG. 1, the press brake 1 includes:
A fixed table 5 is provided at the bottom of the body 3, and a movable table 11 is provided at the top, which is moved up and down by a piston 9 of a hydraulic cylinder 7.

An upper mold 13 is attached to the lower part of the movable table 11, and cooperates with the lower mold 15 attached to the upper part of the fixed table 5 to bend the workpiece.

The hydraulic circuit that operates the piston 9 of the hydraulic cylinder 7 includes a pipe that leads to the oil chamber 23 of the hydraulic cylinder 7 where hydraulic pressure is sucked up from the oil tank 17 by a pump 19, passes through the A port of the servo valve 21, and lowers the movable table 11. There is a road.

It also includes a pipe line that returns oil in the oil chamber 25 of the hydraulic cylinder 7 to the oil tank 17.

The oil discharged from the oil chamber 25 of the hydraulic cylinder 7 passes through the counterbalance valve 27 and returns to the oil tank 17 via the B port of the servo valve 21 in the pipe line returning to the oil tank 17. A bypass circuit 29 is provided between the downstream side of the servo valve 21 and the servo valve 21 .

The structure of this bypass circuit 29 consists of an orifice 33 that passes through a lowering electromagnetic switching valve 31 and is narrowed to a predetermined amount.
The safety valve 35 is operated via the servo valve 21, and the oil is drained into the oil tank 17 via the servo valve 21.

Furthermore, a relief valve 3 is provided with a throttle in the middle of the pipe connecting the counterbalance valve 27 and the safety valve 35.
7 is provided to form a protection circuit.

The circuit around the pump is a general return circuit that returns to the oil tank 17 via the relief valve 39. Furthermore, when excessive load pressure occurs in the oil chamber 23 of the hydraulic cylinder 7, a return circuit is used to return the oil. A pilot check valve 41 is provided, which opens and closes according to oil pressure fluctuations downstream of the counterbalance valve 27.

With the above circuit configuration, when the upper mold is stopped at a predetermined position as shown in FIG. 2, the solenoid of the lowering electromagnetic switching valve 31 is turned off in response to a stop signal, thereby forming the bypass circuit 29.

In addition, a delay time X is set by the orifice 33 so that the safety valve 35 is turned off after the servo valve 21 decelerates and stops at a predetermined position in response to a stop signal.

Therefore, the upper mold 13 can be stopped without deviation Y from the target value.

Furthermore, the dotted line in Figure 2 shows the movement of the upper mold according to the conventional circuit, but since the safety valves are activated at the same time due to the stop signal, the deviation Y amount is large and the stopping accuracy is poor. There is.

Note that, without being limited to the above-mentioned embodiments,
Of course, various modifications may be made without departing from the gist of the present invention.

[Effects of the invention] As can be understood from the explanation of the above embodiments, the present invention provides a bypass circuit using a safety valve via an orifice from the lowering electromagnetic switching valve, and a relief valve is provided between the counterbalance valve and the safety valve. The orifice throttle eliminates the deviation in the stopping position of the mold and significantly improves the stopping accuracy, and the relief valve protects the equipment from damage due to unexpected pressure increases in the pipeline, making it easier to operate. Safety can be ensured.
