Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Biegemaschine gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The present invention relates to a bending machine according to the preamble of claim 1.

Bekannt sind Biegemaschinen, die mit Hilfe eines Biegestößels beispielsweise Stahldraht in eine "Zick-Zack" Form bringen, wobei der Stößel durch zwei Linearantriebe bewegbar ist. An einem freien Ende des Biegestößels befinden sich Biegeflächen, die gegen den Draht Druck ausüben, wobei der Draht selbst durch zwei Klemmmechanismen gehalten wird. Es ist außerdem eine Vorschubeinrichtung vorgesehen, sodass der Arbeitsrhythmus aus den Schritten Vorschieben des Drahtes, Fixierung des Drahtes durch zwei Klemmmechanismen, Biegen des Drahtes durch den Biegestößel, Lösen der Klemmmechanismen, Vorschub des Drahtes und erneut folgender Klemmung des Drahtes besteht. Dabei ist es natürlich notwendig, dass einer der Klemmmechanismen verfahrbar am Maschinenrahmen angeordnet ist, da sonst der Draht beim Biegen gedehnt würde.Bending machines are known which bring steel wire, for example, into a "zigzag" shape with the aid of a bending ram, the ram being movable by two linear drives. At a free end of the bending ram there are bending surfaces which exert pressure against the wire, the wire itself being held by two clamping mechanisms. A feed device is also provided so that the working rhythm consists of the steps of feeding the wire, fixing the wire by two clamping mechanisms, bending the wire by the bending ram, releasing the clamping mechanisms, feeding the wire and then clamping the wire again. Of course, it is necessary for one of the clamping mechanisms to be movably arranged on the machine frame, since otherwise the wire would be stretched during bending.

Nachteilig an Biegemaschinen des Standes der Technik ist, dass durch die Verwendung von zwei Linearantrieben der Beigestößel selbst stark auf Biegung beansprucht wird, weshalb dieser relativ groß dimensioniert werden muss. Ein weiterer Nachteil, der durch zwei Linearantriebe entsteht, ist, dass mit einem Aufbau nur bestimmte Biegungswinkel möglich sind. Um beispielsweise Gitterträger mit verschiedenen Geometrien zu fertigen, mussten solche Biegemaschinen des Standes der Technik aufwendig umgerüstet werden.A disadvantage of the prior art bending machines is that the use of two linear drives means that the additional ram itself is subject to high bending loads, which is why it has to be dimensioned relatively large. Another disadvantage that arises from two linear drives is that only certain bending angles are possible with one structure. In order, for example, to produce lattice girders with different geometries, such prior art bending machines had to be converted at great expense.

Die DE 44 42 929 A1 offenbart eine Biegemaschine zum Biegen von Diagonalstäben für Gitterträger. Der Biegestempel ist dabei als Hydraulikzylinder ausgeführt. Aufgrund der Konstruktion wird dieser relativ stark auf Biegung beansprucht. Die DE 30 14 282 A1 stellt einen weiteren Stand der Technik dar.the DE 44 42 929 A1 discloses a bending machine for bending diagonal bars for lattice girders. The bending punch is designed as a hydraulic cylinder. Due to the construction, this is subjected to relatively high bending loads. the DE 30 14 282 A1 represents another state of the art.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es eine Biegemaschine bereitzustellen, die materialsparender konstruiert ist.The object of the invention is to provide a bending machine that is designed to save on material.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine Biegemaschine mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This problem is solved by a bending machine with the features of claim 1.

Dies geschieht indem der Stößel durch eine erste Lagereinrichtung und durch eine zweite Lagereinrichtung translatorisch und rotatorisch bewegbar gelagert ist, wobei die erste Lagerungseinrichtung und die zweite Lagerungseinrichtung dazu ausgebildet sind, den Stößel während des Biegevorgangs in Richtung einer auf den Draht auszuübenden Kraft auszurichten. Mit anderen Worten wird durch die translatorische und rotatorische Lagerung der Biegestößel immer in der Richtung der Kraft, die er auf den Draht ausüben soll, ausgerichtet. Dadurch wird er weniger auf Biegung beansprucht und kann deshalb kleiner dimensioniert werden.This is done by the ram being supported in a translational and rotational manner by a first bearing device and by a second bearing device, with the first bearing device and the second bearing device being designed to align the ram during the bending process in the direction of a force to be exerted on the wire. In other words, due to the translational and rotational mounting, the bending ram is always aligned in the direction of the force that it is intended to exert on the wire. As a result, it is subjected to less bending stress and can therefore be made smaller.

Ein weiterer Vorteil besteht in der erweiterten Anwendbarkeit. Denn durch die zusätzliche rotatorische Bewegung können erheblich mehr Biegungswinkel realisiert werden, ohne die Beigemaschine selbst vorher umbauen zu müssen. Als Resultat ist es dann möglich, dass eine Vorrichtung zur Herstellung von Gitterträgern, deren Wegemaschine erfindungsgemäß ausgeführt ist, Gitterträger beliebiger Geometrie, wie sie beispielsweise in der österreichischen Patentanmeldung A 174/2013 offengelegt wurden, hergestellt werden können.Another advantage is the extended applicability. Because of the additional rotational movement, significantly more bending angles can be realized without having to convert the bending machine itself beforehand. As a result, it is then possible that a device for the production of lattice girders, the path machine of which is designed according to the invention, lattice girders of any geometry, as for example in the Austrian patent application A 174/2013 were disclosed can be produced.

Durch die beschriebene Verbesserung, die Umbauten für verschiedene Gitterträgergeometrien eliminiert, ist es möglich, Gitterträger im Just-in-time-Verfahren herzustellen. Das heißt, diese Gitterträger können schnell auf Bestellung und in kleinen wirtschaftlichen Mengen produziert werden. Auch Losgrößen mit der Stückzahl 1 sind möglich. Die Maschine kann somit beispielsweise in ein Betonfertigteilwerk integriert werden und die jeweiligen erforderlichen Gitterträger unmittelbar vor dem Betoniervorgang bereitstellen. Bei Vorrichtungen zur Herstellung von Gitterträgern, wie sie im Stand der Technik bekannt sind, ist dies aufgrund der erforderlichen Umbauarbeiten nicht möglich und es mussten für ein rentables Wirtschaften stets größere Mengen der gleichen Gitterträger hergestellt werden, da das Umbauen ja Zeit und damit Produktivität kostet.The improvement described, which eliminates conversions for different lattice girder geometries, makes it possible to produce lattice girders in a just-in-time process. That said, these lattice girders can be made to order and in small quickly economical quantities are produced. Batch sizes with a quantity of 1 are also possible. The machine can thus be integrated into a precast concrete plant, for example, and provide the required lattice girders immediately before the concreting process. With devices for the production of lattice girders, as they are known in the prior art, this is not possible due to the necessary conversion work and larger quantities of the same lattice girders always had to be produced for profitable management, since the conversion costs time and thus productivity.

Vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen der Erfindung sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen definiert.Advantageous embodiments of the invention are defined in the dependent claims.

Bevorzugt ist vorgesehen, dass der Stößel eine fixe, im Betrieb unveränderliche Länge aufweist. Die Bauweise kann hierdurch vereinfacht werden, da beispielsweise aufwändige Hydraulikzylinder im Stößel selbst vermieden werden.It is preferably provided that the plunger has a fixed length that cannot be changed during operation. The design can be simplified as a result, since complex hydraulic cylinders in the ram itself are avoided, for example.

Um gleichzeitig Hebelverhältnisse optimal auszunützen und eine Beanspruchung auf Biegung des Stößels zu vermeiden, kann es vorgesehen sein, dass die erste Lagerungseinrichtung den Stößel an einem Endbereich des Stößels anlenkt und/oder dass die zweite Lagerungseinrichtung den Stößel an einem Endbereich des Stößels anlenkt. Die Endbereiche sollten dabei nicht länger als 20 % bezogen auf eine Gesamtlänge des Stößels sein und natürlich von einem Ende des Stößels weggezählt sein, um den technischen Effekt nicht zu verlieren.In order to make optimum use of lever ratios and avoid bending stress on the ram, it can be provided that the first bearing device articulates the ram on an end area of the ram and/or that the second bearing device articulates the ram on an end area of the ram. The end areas should not be longer than 20% based on the total length of the ram and of course counted away from one end of the ram so as not to lose the technical effect.

Besonders einfach kann die gleichzeitige translatorische und rotatorische Lagerung des Stößels gelöst werden, indem die erste Lagerungseinrichtung einen Kurbeltrieb umfasst und/oder in dem die zweite Lagerungseinrichtung eine Schubstange umfasst.The simultaneous translational and rotational mounting of the ram can be solved in a particularly simple manner in that the first mounting device comprises a crank mechanism and/or in that the second mounting device comprises a connecting rod.

Auf diese beiden Bewegungsformen angepasst können dann ein erster vorzugsweise rotatorischer Antrieb zur Bewegung des Kurbeltriebs und/oder ein zweiter vorzugsweise linearer Antrieb zur Bewegung der Schubstange vorgesehen sein.Adapted to these two forms of movement, a first, preferably rotary, drive for moving the crank mechanism and/or a second, preferably linear, drive for moving the connecting rod can then be provided.

Insbesondere bei der Gitterträgerherstellung ist es vorteilhaft, dass genau zwei Biegeflächen zum Biegen genau zweier Drähte vorgesehen sind, da pro Gitterträger ja genau zwei gebogene Drähte, die dann als Diagonalgurte verwendet werden, benötigt werden.Particularly in the case of lattice girder production, it is advantageous that exactly two bending surfaces are provided for bending exactly two wires, since exactly two bent wires, which are then used as diagonal chords, are required per lattice girder.

Schutz wird des weiteren für eine Einrichtung zur Gitterträgerherstellung begehrt mit einer erfindungsgemäßen Biegemaschine nach einem der Ansprüche 1 bis 7 und einer Schweißeinrichtung zum Verschweißen von mittels der Biegemaschine hergestellten Diagonalgurten mit Untergurten und einem Obergurt.Protection is also sought for a device for producing lattice girders with a bending machine according to one of claims 1 to 7 and a welding device for welding diagonal chords produced by means of the bending machine with lower chords and an upper chord.

Aufgrund seiner Materialeigenschaften ist Stahl der bevorzugte Werkstoff für die Gitterträgerherstellung.Due to its material properties, steel is the preferred material for the manufacture of lattice girders.

Im Folgenden wird Bezug auf die Figuren 1, 2 und 3 genommen. In dieser Ausführungsform ist der Biegestößel 2 über eine erste Lagerungseinrichtung 11 und eine zweite Lagerungseinrichtung 12 am Maschinenrahmen 10 gelagert. Die erste Lagerungseinrichtung 11 verfügt dabei über einen Kurbeltrieb 3. Die zweite Lagerungseinrichtung 12 verfügt über eine Schubstange 7.The following is reference to the Figures 1, 2 and 3 taken. In this embodiment, the bending ram 2 is mounted on the machine frame 10 via a first mounting device 11 and a second mounting device 12 . The first bearing device 11 has a crank mechanism 3. The second bearing device 12 has a connecting rod 7.

Nach dem Vorschub des Drahtes 1 durch die Vorschubeinrichtung 9 wird der Draht 1 durch die Klemmvorrichtung 4 und die weitere Klemmvorrichtung 5 fixiert. Dies ist in Figur 1 dargestellt. Durch den Linearantrieb 14, der auf die Schubstange wirkt und den nicht dargestellten rotatorischen Antrieb 13, welcher auf den Kurbeltrieb 3 wirkt, wird der Stößel 2, an dessen freien Ende sich zwei Biegeflächen 6 befinden von unten her gegen den Draht 1 bewegt und biegt diesen dadurch. Wie in Figur 2 dargestellt ist, muss außerdem der weitere Klemmmechanismus durch einen Linearantrieb mit verfahren werden, da sonst der Draht gedehnt würde. Es ist hierbei wichtig, dass der Klemmmechanismus in genau der richtigen Geschwindigkeit mit verfahren wird, da eine Stauchung des Drahtes 1 auch unerwünscht ist.After the wire 1 has been fed by the feed device 9 , the wire 1 is fixed by the clamping device 4 and the further clamping device 5 . this is in figure 1 shown. The linear drive 14, which acts on the connecting rod, and the rotary drive 13 (not shown), which acts on the crank mechanism 3, move the ram 2, at the free end of which there are two bending surfaces 6, from below against the wire 1 and bend it through this. As in figure 2 is shown, the further clamping mechanism must also be moved by a linear drive, since otherwise the wire would be stretched. It is important here that the clamping mechanism is also moved at exactly the right speed, since compression of the wire 1 is also undesirable.

In Figur 3 ist schließlich dargestellt, wie die Biegung durch den Stößel 2 beendet ist. In dieser Situation kann der Stößel 2 durch den ersten Antrieb 13 und den zweiten Antrieb 14 wieder nach unten bewegt werden, die Klemmung an den Klemmmechanismen 4, 5 kann gelöst werden und der Vorschub des Drahtes 1 kann durch die Vorschubeinrichtung 9 erfolgen. Die Biegemaschine 20 ist dann bereit für einen neuen Biegevorgang.In figure 3 is finally shown how the bending is completed by the ram 2. In this situation, the ram 2 can be moved downwards again by the first drive 13 and the second drive 14 , the clamping on the clamping mechanisms 4 , 5 can be released and the wire 1 can be fed by the feed device 9 . The bending machine 20 is then ready for a new bending process.

In Figur 4 ist eine perspektivische Darstellung der Biegemaschine 20 dargestellt. Hier wird deutlich, dass zwei Drähte 1 gleichzeitig gebogen werden. Dies ist insbesondere bei der Herstellung von Gitterträgern vorteilhaft, da die gebogenen Drähte 1 dann als Diagonalgurte 22 verwendet werden können, wobei sie bei einem Gitterträger paarweise benötigt werden. Wie aus dieser Figur außerdem deutlich wird, ist sowohl die Kurbel 3 als auch die Schubstange 7 in Gabelbauweise ausgeführt. Die Biegeflächen liegen dabei an einem Bolzen, der sowohl durch die Enden der gabelförmigen Schubstange 7 als auch durch ein gabelförmiges Ende des Stößels 2 geführt ist.In figure 4 A perspective view of the bending machine 20 is shown. Here it becomes clear that two wires 1 are bent at the same time. This is particularly advantageous in the manufacture of lattice girders, since the bent wires 1 can then be used as diagonal chords 22, and they are required in pairs for a lattice girder. As is also clear from this figure, both the crank 3 and the connecting rod 7 are designed in a fork design. The bending surfaces lie on a bolt that is guided both through the ends of the fork-shaped push rod 7 and through a fork-shaped end of the ram 2 .

Figur 5 zeigt schematisch eine Einrichtung zur Gitterträgerherstellung. Angeliefert werden Spulen 15, auf denen geeigneter Draht aufgewickelt ist. Durch Abspulvorrichtungen 16 wird dieser abgewickelt und im Falle der Obergurte 23 und Untergurte 21 einer Richtmaschine 17 zugeführt. Derjenige Draht, der für die Diagonalgurte 22 bestimmt ist, wird der Biegemaschine 20 zugeführt. figure 5 shows schematically a device for the production of lattice girders. Spools 15 on which suitable wire is wound are delivered. This is unwound by unwinding devices 16 and, in the case of the upper chords 23 and lower chords 21 , fed to a straightening machine 17 . The wire that is intended for the diagonal belts 22 is fed to the bending machine 20 .

Die Untergurte, der Obergurt sowie die in der Biegemaschine 20 hergestellten Diagonalgurte werden zusammen der Schweißeinrichtung 25 zugeführt, in der sie zu einem Gitterträger 24 verschweißt werden. Zweckmäßiger Weise werden die Gitterträger dann in einer Lagerstätte 18 abgelegt.The lower chords, the upper chord and the diagonal chords produced in the bending machine 20 are fed together to the welding device 25 in which they are welded to form a lattice girder 24 . The lattice girders are then expediently deposited in a storage site 18 .

Figur 6 zeigt eine Seitenansicht eines Gitterträgers. Die wichtigsten Abmessungen eines Gitterträgers sind dabei zu erkennen. Dies sind zum einen der Teilungsabstand T und die Höhe H des Gitterträgers. Wichtig sind außerdem die Winkel α und β zwischen dem Diagonalgurt 22 und dem Untergurt 21. Die erfindungsgemäße Biegemaschine erlaubt - anders als im Stand der Technik - eine völlig freie Wahl der Parameter T, H, α sowie β. Tatsächlich stellen auch stumpfe Winkel für einen der Winkel α oder β technisch kein Problem dar. Typische Werte für die Höhe H betragen 60 mm bis 450 mm. Typische Werte für die Teilungsabstände T betragen 150 mm bis 250 mm. Der Stößel muss nicht stabförmig sein. Jegliche anderen Geometrien, insbesondere eine zu einer Sichelform gebogene, sind denkbar. figure 6 shows a side view of a lattice girder. The most important dimensions of a lattice girder can be seen here. On the one hand, these are the pitch T and the height H of the lattice girder. The angles α and β between the diagonal chord 22 and the lower chord 21 are also important. Unlike in the prior art, the bending machine according to the invention permits a completely free choice of the parameters T, H, α and β. In fact, even obtuse angles for one of the angles α or β pose no technical problem. Typical values for the height H are 60 mm to 450 mm. Typical values for the pitch distances T are 150 mm to 250 mm. The ram does not have to be rod-shaped. Any other geometries, in particular one bent into a sickle shape, are conceivable.
