The present invention relates to a plate material bending machine capable of continuously bending an edge portion of a formed plate material in both an upward direction and a downward direction into an L-shape.

(Prior Art) The edge of the plate material is continuously L in both upward and downward directions.
A plate bending machine for bending into a letter shape is known. The plate material bending machine, a lower plate that supports the plate material,
It has an upper frame that opposes the lower plate and fixes the plate material by clamping, and an up-and-down swing frame. Further, in the plate material bending machine, a lower bending die and an upper bending die, which bend the edge portion of the plate material protruding from between the lower plate and the upper plate upward or downward in an L shape, are vertically opposed to each other. The bending die frame provided in this mode is provided so as to be swingable in the vertical direction.

In the plate material bending machine having the above configuration, when the plate material is clamped and fixed by the lower plate and the upper plate, the edge of the plate material is moved upward by swinging the bending die frame, for example, upward. Is bent into an L shape. After that, the upper platen is lifted to release the clamping pressure fixing of the plate material, a small amount of feed is given to the plate member to position it, and then the upper platen is lowered to clamp the plate material again. Then, the bending die frame is swung upward or downward to continuously perform the bending work, whereby the edge portion of the plate material is bent into a groove shape or a Z shape.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) When continuously bending the edge portion of the plate material as described above, conventionally, the upper plate is largely lifted to release the clamping force of the plate material. The time was long and there was a problem in improving work efficiency.

[Structure of the Invention] (Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, in the present invention, the plate material can be freely pressed against the lower plate supporting the plate material. It is installed by mounting the board on a lifting frame that can move up and down,
A bending die frame provided with a lower bending die for bending the end edge portion of the plate material protruding from between the lower board and the upper board upward and an upper bending die for bending the end edge downward. Provided movably in the up-and-down direction, and provided with a lifting operation device for moving the lifting frame up and down and a bending drive device for moving the bending die frame up and down. An ammunition is provided for slightly raising the elevating frame so that the gap between the plate and the plate is slightly larger than the plate thickness of the plate material.

(Operation) In the above configuration, the plate material is sandwiched and fixed between the lower plate and the upper plate, and the end edge portion of the plate member is bent by one bending die, and then the elevating and lowering operation device is put into a rest state. Then, the elevating frame provided with the upper plate is not applied with an external force by the elevating and lowering device in order to fix the plate material by pinching, and is not raised significantly. That is, when the lifting / lowering device is held in a rest state, the lifting / lowering frame is lowered by its own weight.

Therefore, when the plate material is clamped and fixed, the ammunition in a compressed state expands to slightly raise the elevating frame.
That is, the elevating frame is raised so that the gap between the lower plate and the upper plate becomes a gap slightly larger than the plate thickness of the plate material. Therefore, it is possible to move the plate material for positioning immediately after releasing the clamp fixing of the plate material, and to re-fix the plate material immediately after the positioning.

The bullet 67 is sufficiently charged to push up the elevating frame 5 and the like.

With the above-described structure, the elevating frame 5 is vertically swung by appropriately operating the fluid pressure cylinder 47. Therefore, by lowering the elevating frame 5, the plate material W placed and positioned on the lower platen 9 is fixed to the lower platen 9 by the upper platen 31. Further, by raising the elevating frame 5, the clamping fixing of the plate material W is released. At this time, when the supply of the working fluid to the fluid pressure cylinder 47 is stopped and the fluid pressure cylinder 47 is put into a resting state, the elevating frame 5 is slightly pushed up by the action of the bullet 67, and the plate material W is clamped. It will release the fixation.

The bending die holder 75 extends in the left-right direction, and the bending die holder 75 is supported near the left and right end portions and the central portion on a front end portion of a bending die frame 77 which is vertically swingable. More specifically, as understood from FIG. 2, FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the bending die frame 77 is composed of a pair of left and right rocking plates, and the bending die frame 77 has a rear end portion. Is rotatably supported by an eccentric portion 79E of an eccentric shaft 79 rotatably supported by the bearing bracket 19 at a position substantially the same as the pivot shaft 21.

Means for urging the bending die frame 77 in one direction is provided in order to bring the minute gap between the eccentric portion 79E of the eccentric shaft 79 and the pivotal support portion of the bending die frame 77 to one side. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, one end of a pull rod 83 is pivotally connected to the rear end of the bending frame 77 via a ball joint 81. Although not shown in detail, the pull rod 83 penetrates through the fixing member 23 and is swingably supported, and also has a bullet seat 85 attached to the other end of the pull rod 83 and the fixing member 23.
Between the and, a bullet 87 such as a disc spring or urethane rubber that acts to pull the pull rod 83 backward is mounted.

As can be understood from the above configuration, the bendable frame 77 is vertically swingable about the eccentric portion 79E of the eccentric shaft 79, and is always pulled backward by the action of the ammunition 87. is there. Therefore, the minute gap between the eccentric portion 79E of the eccentric shaft 79 and the pivotal support portion of the bending die frame 77 is always in the rearward state. Therefore, even if an external force acts on the bending die frame 77 in the rearward direction (to the right in FIG. 3), the bending die frame 77 does not slightly change.

Referring again to FIG. 3, the bending die frame 77 is swung in the vertical direction to bend the rear end edge portion of the plate material W by the upper and lower bending dies 71 and 73. A bending drive device 89 is provided in the. More specifically, the bending drive device 89 is composed of a fluid pressure cylinder 91 in this embodiment. The fluid pressure cylinder 91 is swingably supported by the bending die frame 77 via a trunnion 93. The piston rod 95 (the fifth
The lower end (see the drawing) is pivotally supported by a bracket 97 mounted on the fixed frame 3 via a pin 99.

With the above configuration, the bending die frame 77 can be vertically swung by the operation of the fluid pressure cylinder 91. Therefore, the rear end edge of the plate material W clamped and fixed between the lower plate 9 and the upper plate 31 can be bent upward by the downward bending die 71 or downward by the upward bending die 73. .

As described above, when the rear end edge of the plate material W is bent upward or downward, the swing center of the bending die frame 77 should be changed vertically depending on the plate thickness and the bending direction. A rotary drive device 99 for rotating the eccentric shaft 79 is provided. More specifically, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, one side of the fixed frame 3 has a motor 1 such as a pulse motor or a servomotor capable of rotating in the forward and reverse directions.

Therefore, by properly controlling the rotation of the motor 101, the eccentric shaft 79 is appropriately rotated. That is, by appropriately rotating the eccentric shaft 79, the center of the eccentric portion 79E of the eccentric shaft 79 shifts in the vertical and horizontal directions in FIG. Therefore, the swing center of the bending die frame 77 can be adjusted vertically and horizontally according to the plate thickness of the plate material W and the bending direction of the rear edge of the plate material W in FIG. Further, the bending die frame 77 can be largely moved in the front-rear direction (left-right direction in FIG. 3).

When the eccentric shaft 79 is rotated as described above, the eccentric shaft 79 is not affected by the action of the lifting / lowering operation device 43 even if the upper plate 31 firmly clamps the plate material. Therefore, the eccentric shaft 79 can be smoothly rotated, and when performing the rotational positioning of the eccentric shaft 79, an appropriate detection device can be added to automatically and accurately perform the rotational positioning.

According to this embodiment, when the rear end edge of the plate W is bent, the swing center of the bending die frame 77 can be adjusted to an arbitrary position such that the upper surface or the lower surface of the plate W can be aligned. . Further, the distance between the lower platen 9, the upper platen 31 and the upper and lower bending dies 71, 73 with the plate material W clamped and fixed can be adjusted according to the thickness of the plate material W, and the bending process can be performed more accurately. be able to. Furthermore, the plate material W
After the completion of bending, the bending die frame 77 is moved to the left in FIG. 3, and the upper and lower bending dies 71 and 73 bend the rear end edge of the plate material W at a more acute angle to correct the spring back. can do.

As described above, the bending die frame 77 is vertically swung by the operation of the fluid pressure cylinder 91 to bend the rear end edge portion of the plate material W. At this time, in order to correct the bending of the upper and lower bending dies 71, 73 due to the drag force of the plate material W, the working stroke of each fluid pressure cylinder 91 is individually adjustable.

The support plate 107 extending in the (direction) is integrally attached. A pinion shaft 113 having pinions 109 and 111 near both ends is rotatably supported by the fixed plate 105. A vertical rack rod 115 having an upper end portion appropriately connected to the fluid pressure cylinder 91 is meshed with the one pinion 109.
Therefore, the pinion shaft 113 is normally and reversely rotated according to the vertical movement of the fluid pressure cylinder 91.

A first working rack rod 117 is meshed with the other pinion 111 of the pinion shaft 113. The first operating rack rod 117 is slidably supported by a pinion support block 119 attached to the side surface of the support plate 107, and is meshed with a pinion 121 rotatably supported by the pinion support block 119. . The pinion support block 119 has a second working rack rod 1 facing the first working rack rod 117 and meshing with the pinion 121.
23 is slidably supported.

Therefore, according to the vertical movement of the fluid pressure cylinder 91, the first and second operating rack rods 117 and 123 move in the opposite directions by the same distance.

The optimum position can be pushed and bent, and the springback can be effectively corrected.

Further, by individually adjusting the stroke amount of each fluid pressure cylinder 91 in the vertical direction, even if the upper and lower bending dies are slightly inclined due to, for example, an assembly error, they are relatively horizontal. Can be modified to

[Effect of the Invention] As can be understood from the above description of the embodiments, since the gist of the present invention is as described in the scope of claims for utility model registration, the plate material is pressed by the lower board and the upper board. When the plate material is repositioned to perform the second-stage bending after the fixing and the rear edge of the plate material is subjected to the first-stage bending, when the lifting / lowering operation device is in a rest state, The lifting frame is slightly lifted by the action. That is, since the elevating frame is lifted slightly enough to release the clamping of the plate material, the elevating frame can be slightly lowered after repositioning the plate material. Therefore, it is possible to shorten the idle time for moving the plate material for repositioning and fixing the plate again, so that the work efficiency can be improved.
