Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Rohrbiegemaschine mit einem langgestreckten Maschinengestell gemäß Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1, wobei hierbei ausgegangen wird von einer Firmenschrift "Einladung 4. EMO Hannover 15-24 IX 1981" der Fa. Cantu (CO), Italien. Eine Maschine, die in dieser Druckschrift mit "Typ B4X" bezeichnet ist, wird nachfolgend als Standardmaschine bezeichnet.The invention relates to a pipe bending machine with an elongated machine frame according to the preamble of claim 1, which is based on a company document "invitation 4th EMO Hannover 15-24 IX 1981" from Cantu (CO), Italy. A machine that is referred to in this document as "Type B4X" is referred to below as a standard machine.

Rohrbiegemaschinen mit den vorbeschriebenen Merkmalen sind zum Kallbiegen von Rohren bekannt. Dabei kann zusätzlich ein im Inneren des zu biegenden Rohres vorhandener Biegedorn angeordnet sein.Pipe bending machines with the features described above are known for the call bending of pipes. A bending mandrel present in the interior of the pipe to be bent can also be arranged.

Biegemaschinen der vorbeschriebenen Ausbildung sind in hervorragendem Maße geeignet, Rohre mit größerem Durchmesser zu biegen. Rohre größeren Durchmessers werden vielfach mit größen oder größeren Biegeradien gebogen. Dadurch ist die Biegefreiheit, die eine Rohrbiegemaschine haben soll, nicht von wesentlicher Bedeutung. Dies auch aus dem Grunde, weil bei numerisch gesteuerten Rohrbiegemaschinen die Frage der Biegefreiheit, damit beim Biegen des Rohres gebogenen Teile des Rohres nicht, an Bauelementen der Biegemaschine anschlagen, geprüft und in das Programm eingegeben werden. Rohre mit kleinerem Durchmesser werden in der Regel mit kleineren Biegeradien gebogen. Daraus ergibt sich, daß während des Biegens die Gefahr besteht, daß abgebogene Rohrteile an Bauelementen der Rohrbiegemaschine anschlagen. Daher ist die Frage der Biegefreiheit von großer Bedeutung. Wie eine große Biegefreiheit an einer Rohrbiegemaschine geschaffen werden kann, ist inhalt der EP-A1-0 029 694. Die Erfindung geht aber nicht hiervon aus, sondern von einer Standardmaschine der obengenannten Art. Bei der bekannten Rohrbiegemaschine ist auf dem Maschinengestell ein balkenförmiger Träger angeordnet, der an einem Ende den Biegetisch trägt, wobei das Drehzentrum des Biegetisches in der Längsmitte des Trägers liegt. Obwohl der Träger Bodenfreiheit bietet, so daß der bereits gebogene Bereich des Rohres auch unter den Biegetisch gelangen kann, sind die Seitenfreiheit und die Rückenfreiheit von dem balkenförmigen Träger und auch von dem längs des Trägers bewegbaren Vorschubwagen begrenzt.Bending machines of the above-described training are extremely suitable for bending pipes with a larger diameter. Pipes of larger diameter are often bent with larger or larger bending radii. As a result, the freedom of bending that a pipe bending machine should have is not essential. This is also the reason, because with numerically controlled pipe bending machines the question of the freedom of bending, so that parts of the pipe that are bent when the pipe is bent, do not hit components of the bending machine, are checked and entered into the program. Pipes with a smaller diameter are usually bent with smaller bending radii. This means that during bending there is a risk that bent pipe parts will strike components of the pipe bending machine. Therefore, the question of freedom from bending is of great importance. EP-A1-0 029 694 describes how great freedom of bending can be created on a pipe bending machine. However, the invention is not based on this, but rather on a standard machine of the type mentioned above. In the known pipe bending machine, a beam-shaped support is arranged on the machine frame which carries the bending table at one end, the center of rotation of the bending table being in the longitudinal center of the beam. Although the support offers ground clearance so that the already bent area of the tube can also get under the bending table, the side clearance and the back clearance are limited by the beam-shaped support and also by the feed carriage which can be moved along the support.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Rohrbiegemaschine der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, die in räumlicher Hinsicht und auch in ihrer baulichen Gestaltung große Freiheiten bezüglich der Rohrkonfiguration nach dem Biegen ergibt.The invention has for its object to provide a pipe bending machine of the type mentioned, which gives great freedom in terms of space and also in its structural design with regard to the tube configuration after bending.

Diese Aufgabe ist mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved with the features of claim 1.

T)urch die erfindungsgemäße Lösung, die auch in der Weise ausgedrückt werden kann, daß der Biegetisch an einem nach außen über die vertikale Seitenwandung vorstehenden Anbau gelagert ist, wird eine vergleichsweise frei liegende Biegeanordnung geschaffen, die eine verbesserte Biegefreiheit ergibt. T) hrough the inventive solution, which can also be expressed in such a manner that the bending table is mounted on an outwardly beyond the vertical side wall above cultivation, there is provided a comparatively exposed bending assembly, which gives an improved flexural freedom.

Zur weiteren Erhöhung der Biegefreiheit wird vorgeschlagen, daß das Drehzentrum des Biegetisches außerhalb der Gestellwandung des Trägers liegt. Durch diese Lösung ist es möglich, daß Teile des gebogenen Rohres auch unterhalb des Biegetisches und des den Biegetisch tragenden, balkenartig vorkragenden Trägers gelangen können, so daß eine sehr große Biegefreiheit vorhanden ist.To further increase the freedom from bending, it is proposed that the center of rotation of the bending table lies outside the frame wall of the carrier. With this solution, it is possible that parts of the bent tube can also reach below the bending table and the beam-like, cantilevered beam supporting the bending table, so that there is a very large amount of freedom from bending.

Um den Träger mit nur geringer Bauhöhe und auch geringer Breite bei großer Länge herstellen zu können, diese Faktoren sind mitbestimmend für die erstrebte große Biegefreiheit, wird in weiterer Ausgestaltung vorgeschlagen, daß der Antrieb der Biegeschablone quer zur Längserstreckung des Maschinengestells bzw. des die Biegeschablone tragenden Tragbalkens an der Seite des Vorschubwagens bzw. der Gleitschiene ist.In order to be able to produce the beam with only a small overall height and also a small width with a great length, these factors are also determinative for the desired great freedom of bending, it is proposed in a further embodiment that the drive of the bending template is transverse to the longitudinal extension of the machine frame or of the one carrying the bending template Support beam is on the side of the feed carriage or the slide rail.

Während bei bisherigen Rohrbiegemaschinen der Antrieb im Maschinengestell und in Längserstreckung des Maschinengestells wirkend vorhanden ist, wie das beispielsweise aus der DE-B-2 133359 hervorgeht, wird nach Anspruch 3 vorgeschlagen, den Antrieb der Biegeschablone quer zur Längserstreckung des Maschinengestells bzw. des die Biegeschablone tragenden Tragbalkens und an der Seite, die den Vorschubwagen bzw. die Gleitschiene trägt, vorzusehen. Dadurch ist es möglich, den Antrieb der Biegeschablone in unmittelbarer Nähe des Biegetisches anzuordnen.While in previous pipe bending machines the drive is present in the machine frame and in the longitudinal extension of the machine frame, as is apparent, for example, from DE-B-2 133359, it is proposed according to claim 3 to drive the bending template transverse to the longitudinal extension of the machine frame or the bending template load-bearing support beam and on the side that carries the feed carriage or the slide rail. This makes it possible to arrange the drive of the bending template in the immediate vicinity of the bending table.

Ein weiterer Vorschlag geht dahin, daß der Antrieb der Biegeschablone und der Antrieb der Gleitschiene in einer baulichen Einheit vorhanden sind. Die Bezeichnung "bauliche Einheit" soll nicht in der Weise verstanden werden, daß es sich hier um einen Baukörper handelt. Vielmehr soll zum Ausdruck gebracht werden, daß der Antrieb des Biegetisches und der Antrieb der Gleitschiene in räumlich enger Anordnung zueinander vorhanden und an gemeinsamen Trägern oder einem gemeinsamen Träger befestigt bzw. untereinander verbunden sind.Another proposal is that the drive of the bending template and the drive of the slide rail are available in one structural unit. The term "structural unit" should not be understood in such a way that it is a building. Rather, it should be expressed that the drive of the bending table and the drive of the slide rail are present in a spatially close arrangement to one another and are fastened to common supports or a common support or are connected to one another.

In weiterer Ausgestaltung wird vorgeschlagen, daß die bauliche Einheit einen weiteren Antrieb für die Bewegung der Gleitschiene in Längsrichtung des Trägers bzw. tangential zur Biegeschablone aufweist.In a further embodiment it is proposed that the structural unit have a further drive for the movement of the slide rail in the longitudinal direction of the carrier or tangential to the bending template.

In weiterer Ausgestaltung wird vorgeschlagen, daß die bauliche Einheit an dem Tragebalken angeschraubt ist.In a further embodiment it is proposed that the structural unit is screwed onto the support beam.

In weiterer Ausgestaltung wird vorgeschlagen, daß der Antrieb der Biegeschablone und der Antrieb der Gleitschiene zu deren Bewegung in Radialrichtung der Biegeschablone parallel zueinander verlaufen. Um im Sinne der Zuordnung cer Antriebe des Biegetisches und der Gleitschiene zu Antrieben zu kommen, die nur einen geringen Raumbedarf einnehmen, wird in weiterer Ausgestalltung vorgeschlagen, daß der Antrieb der Biegeschablone aus einem Hydromotor besteht, an dessen abgehender Welle eine Schneckenwelle mit einem Schneckenrad befestigt ist, das über einen den Biegetisch umgebenden Schneckenradsatz den Biegetisch antreibt.In a further embodiment it is proposed that the drive of the bending template and the drive of the slide rail for their movement in the radial direction of the bending template run parallel to one another. In order to arrive at drives in the sense of the assignment cer drives of the bending table and the slide rail, which take up only a small space, it is proposed in a further embodiment that the drive of the bending template consists of a hydraulic motor, on the outgoing shaft of which a worm shaft is fastened with a worm wheel is this drives the bending table via a worm gear set surrounding the bending table.

Im Rahmen der platzsparenden und wirkungsvollen Maßnahme wird weiterhin vorgeschlagen, daß der Antrieb der Gleitschiene in Radialrichtung der Biegeschablone aus einer hydraulischen Kolben-Zylinder-Anordnung besteht, die oberhalb und seitlich versetzt zum Hydromotorantrieb des Biegetisches angeordnet ist.As part of the space-saving and effective measure, it is further proposed that the drive of the slide rail in the radial direction of the bending template consists of a hydraulic piston-cylinder arrangement which is arranged above and laterally offset from the hydraulic motor drive of the bending table.

Weiterhin besteht der Antrieb der Gleitschiene in Längsrichtung des Maschinengestells aus einer hydraulischen Kolben-Zylinder-Anordnung, die oberhalb des Hydromotors und quer dazu verlaufend angeordnet ist.Furthermore, the drive of the slide rail in the longitudinal direction of the machine frame consists of a hydraulic piston-cylinder arrangement, which is arranged above the hydraulic motor and extending transversely thereto.

Zur Erfüllung der Aufgabe, eine möglichst große Biegefreiheit zu erhalten, wird weiterhin vorgeschlagen, daß der Biegetisch rotationssymmetrisch ausgebildet ist. Dadurch nimmt er selbst einen nur geringen Raum ein.To fulfill the task of obtaining the greatest possible freedom from bending, it is further proposed that the bending table be rotationally symmetrical. As a result, it occupies only a small space.

In weiterer Ausgestaltung ist der Biegetisch in einem die Antriebsschnecke tragenden Gehäuse angeordnet, das an der Seitenwand des Tragkalbens angeschraubt ist. Durch diese Maßnahme wird nicht lediglich erreicht, daß die Drehachse des Biegetisches seitlich vor dem Tragbalken angeordnet ist, sondern auch eine einfache fertigung und Montage erreicht wird.In a further embodiment, the bending table is arranged in a housing which carries the drive worm and which is screwed onto the side wall of the supporting caliber. This measure not only ensures that the axis of rotation of the bending table is arranged laterally in front of the support beam, but also simple manufacture and assembly is achieved.

In weiterer Ausgestaltung wird vorgeschlagen, daß der Biegetisch in halber Höhe mit einem umlaufenden Schneckenrad versehen ist und aus einem äußeren Mantel und einer inneren Hülse besteht, wobei in dem Raum zwischen Mantel und Hülse das Schneckenrad an der Hülse angeordnet ist.In a further embodiment it is proposed that the bending table is provided at half height with a rotating worm wheel and consists of an outer casing and an inner sleeve, the worm wheel being arranged on the sleeve in the space between the casing and the sleeve.

Im Rahmen der Aufgabe, eine möglichst große Biegefreiheit zu schaffen, sind nach der vorliegenden Erfindung ebenfalls Maßnahme vorgesehen, die Bauelemente zu vereinfachen oder in räumlich günstigster Weise anzuordnen.As part of the task of creating the greatest possible freedom from bending, measures are also provided according to the present invention to simplify the components or to arrange them in the most spatially advantageous manner.

Während bei bisherigen Rohrbiegemaschinen der die Biegeschablone tragende Biegetisch mit einem Schwenkarm versehen ist, der die radial zur Biegeschablone hin- und herbewegte Klemmbacke und deren Antrieb trägt, wird in Verbindung mit der Maßgabe, den Biegetisch als rotationssystemmetrischen Körper zu bilden, vorgeschlagen, auf eine bisher in radialer Ebene der Biegeschablone bewegte Spannbacke zu verzichten und das Rohr an der Biegeschablone in neuer Weise zu befestigen. Um dies zu erreichen, wird in weiterer Ausgestaltung vorgeschlagen, daß die Hülse des Biegetisches in ihrem inneren als Zylinder ausgebildet ist, in dem ein doppelseitig beaufschlagbarer Kolben axial beweglich angeordnet ist, wobei der Kolben mit einer nach oben aus dem Zylinder herausragenden Kolbenstange versehen ist, weiterhin die Biegeschablone in der Mitte ihrer umlaufenden Nut in horizontaler Ebene in einen unteren Biegeschablonenteil und einen oberen Biegeschablonenteil unterteilt ist, wobei der untere Biegeschablonenteil mit der Hülse und der obere Biegeschablonenteil mit der aus der Hülse herausfahrbaren Kolbenstange verbunden ist. Durch diese Maßnahme entfällt ein Schwenkbarn, der ebenfalls die Biegefreiheit beeinträchtigen würde, weil zum Festklemmen des Rohres an der Biegeschablone das Anklemmen in Achsrichtung der Biegeschablone erfolgt. Besonders vorteilhaft wird die axial wirkende Klemmung durch die Maßgabe erreicht, daß der obere Biegeschabloneteil an einem Teil seines Umfanges einen über diesen Umfang vorstehenden Kragen hat, der eine als Klemmbacke dienende halbkreisförmige Nut aufweist. Besonders vorteilhaft hat dieser Kragen einen nach unten über die untere Biegeschablonenhälfe vorstehenden Fortsatz.While in previous tube bending machines the bending table carrying the bending template is provided with a swivel arm which carries the clamping jaw, which is moved radially back and forth to the bending template and its drive, it has been proposed in connection with the stipulation of forming the bending table as a body with rotational system metrology to dispense with the clamping jaw moving in the radial plane of the bending template and to fasten the tube to the bending template in a new way. In order to achieve this, it is proposed in a further embodiment that the sleeve of the bending table is designed in its interior as a cylinder in which a piston which can be acted on from both sides is arranged so as to be axially movable, the piston being provided with a piston rod which projects upward from the cylinder. Furthermore, the bending template is divided in the middle of its circumferential groove in a horizontal plane into a lower bending template part and an upper bending template part, the lower bending template part being connected to the sleeve and the upper bending template part being connected to the piston rod which can be moved out of the sleeve. This measure eliminates the need for a swivel bar, which would also impair the freedom from bending, because the tube is clamped to the bending template in the axial direction of the bending template. The axially acting clamping is particularly advantageously achieved by the proviso that the upper part of the bending template has a collar which projects beyond this circumference and which has a semicircular groove serving as a clamping jaw. This collar particularly advantageously has an extension projecting downward beyond the lower half of the bending template.

Zur weiteren Erhöhung der Biegefreiheit wird vorgeschlagen, daß der Biegetisch in seinem oberen Bereich oberhalb der Ebene des ihn tragenden Balkens stark konisch verjüngt ist und vorzugsweise der untere Biegeschablonenteil ebenfalls einen angepaßten Konus aufweist.To further increase the freedom from bending, it is proposed that the bending table in its upper region above the level of the beam supporting it be tapered strongly and preferably the lower bending template part also has an adapted cone.

Zur Befestigung der Biegeschablone an dem Blagetisch wird in weiterer Ausgestaltung vorgeschlagen, daß an dem Biegetisch ein konischer Ring vorhanden ist, der den konischen unteren Bereich des unteren Biegeschablonenteils und den oberen konischen Bereich des Biegetisches übergreift und durch Befestigungselemente an diesem gehalten ist.To attach the bending template to the sheet table, it is proposed in a further embodiment that a conical ring is present on the bending table, which overlaps the conical lower region of the lower bending template part and the upper conical region of the bending table and is held on it by fastening elements.

Figur 1 zeigt eine Rohrbiegemaschine mit dem Vorschubwagen 10, der auf einer oder mehreren Führungsschienen 11 an der Oberseite des Maschinengestells 12 hin- und her fahrbar ist. Der Vorschubwagen 10 hat einen Rohrzylinder 13 mit einer Spannhülse 14, in welcher das zu biegende Rohr 15 eingespannt ist. Das Rohr 15 ist um eine schwenkbar gelagerte Biegeschablone 16 herumgeführt, welche eine dem Rohrhalbmesser entsprechende Ausnehmung 17 hat. Das Rohr ist über eine Spannbacke 18 an die Biegeschablone angedrückt, wobei die Spannbacke an einer Spanneinrichtung 19 über einen Hydraulikzylinder 20 betätigt ist. Diese Bauelemente sind an dem Schwenkarm 21 des Biegetisches angeordnet, während die Schablone 16 axial zur Drehachse angeordnet ist. Die Drehung erfolgt in Pfeilrichtung 22. Mit 23 ist eine Gleitschiene bezeichnet.FIG. 1 shows a pipe bending machine with the feed carriage 10, which can be moved back and forth on one or more guide rails 11 on the upper side of the machine frame 12. The Feed carriage 10 has a tubular cylinder 13 with an adapter sleeve 14, in which the tube 15 to be bent is clamped. The tube 15 is guided around a pivotally mounted bending template 16, which has a recess 17 corresponding to the tube radius. The tube is pressed against the bending template via a clamping jaw 18, the clamping jaw being actuated on a clamping device 19 via a hydraulic cylinder 20. These components are arranged on the swivel arm 21 of the bending table, while the template 16 is arranged axially to the axis of rotation. The rotation takes place in the direction of arrow 22. A slide rail is designated by 23.

Innerhalb des Rohres 15 ist im Bereich der Biegeschablone 17 und der Gleitschiene 23 ein Dorn vorhanden, der an dem vorderen Ende der Dornstange 24 befestigt ist. Die Dornstange 24 wird gehalten an einer Dornrückziehvorrichtung 25, die an dem Lager 26 befestigt ist. Das Maschinengestell 27 hat einen vorstehenden Vorbau 28. Mit 29 ist der Kettenkasten einer Schablonenrückdrehung bezeichnet, der ebenfalls die Biegefreiheit beeinträchtigt. Der Antrieb des Biegetisches 21 erfolgt über eine im Vorbau 28 untergebrachte Kette, die durch zwei Kolbenzylinder-Anordnungen 30 und 31 im Maschinengestell betätigt wird.Within the tube 15 in the area of the bending template 17 and the slide rail 23 there is a mandrel which is fastened to the front end of the mandrel rod 24. The mandrel rod 24 is held on a mandrel retractor 25 which is attached to the bearing 26. The machine frame 27 has a protruding stem 28. With 29 the chain case of a template reverse rotation is designated, which also affects the freedom from bending. The bending table 21 is driven by a chain accommodated in the stem 28, which is actuated by two piston-cylinder arrangements 30 and 31 in the machine frame.

Figur 2 zeigt die Rohrbeigemaschine erfindungsgemäßer Ausbildung. Obwohl diese die gleichen Grundelemente wie die Maschine nach Figur 1 aufweist, so Vorschubwagen, Spannhülse, Biegetisch, Biegeschablone, Gleitschiene und Klemmbacke, sollen in der nachfolgenden Beschreibung für die Bauteile der Figuren 2 bis 12 andere Bezugszeichen gewählt werden.Figure 2 shows the Rohrbeigermaschine of the inventive design. Although these have the same basic elements as the machine according to FIG. 1, such as feed carriage, clamping sleeve, bending table, bending template, slide rail and clamping jaw, other reference symbols should be selected in the following description for the components of FIGS. 2 to 12.

Das Maschinengestell 31 trägt einen an seinen beiden Seiten 32, 32a weit überstehenden Tragbalken 33 mit einer Laufschiene 34 für den Vorschubwagen 35, der die Spannhülse 36 trägt. Die Spannhülse ist betätigt durch einen Hydromotor 37, der oberhalb der Spannhülse angeordnet ist.The machine frame 31 carries a supporting beam 33 which projects far on both sides 32, 32a and has a running rail 34 for the feed carriage 35, which carries the clamping sleeve 36. The clamping sleeve is actuated by a hydraulic motor 37 which is arranged above the clamping sleeve.

Damit unterschiedliche Durchmesser der Biegeschablone berücksichtigt werden können, ist an dem Vorschubwagen 35 eine Schiene 38 für die Verschiebung der Spannhülse und an der Oberseite des Tragbalkens an dem nach hinten vorstehenden Balkenteil 39 eine Schiene 40 vorhanden, damit die die Dornstange 41 tragende Dornrückziehung 42 ebenefalls quer zur Längserstreckung des Tragbalkens 33 verfahrbar ist.So that different diameters of the bending template can be taken into account, there is a rail 38 for the displacement of the clamping sleeve on the feed carriage 35 and a rail 40 on the upper part of the supporting beam on the rearwardly projecting beam part 39, so that the mandrel rod 41 carrying the mandrel retraction 42 is also transverse is movable to the longitudinal extent of the support beam 33.

An dem nach vorne vorstehenden Tragbalkenteil ist der Biegetisch 43 angeordnet, der, wie später noch im einzelnen beschrieben wird, von rotationssymmetrischer Ausbildung ist und somit keinen Schwenkarm hat.The bending table 43, which, as will be described in detail later, is of a rotationally symmetrical design and is therefore not provided with a swivel arm, is arranged on the supporting beam part projecting forward.

Die Drehachse 44, hier kann es sich um die Mitte der körperlichen Drehachse oder um die geometrische Drehachse handeln, ist, wie insbesondere aus Figur 3 hervorgeht, im nahen Bereich der vertikalebene der senkrechten Seitenwandung 45 des Maschinengestells oder des Tragbalkens 33 vorhanden. Nach Figur 3 steht sie vor dessen Vertikalebene 45. Es kann auch dargelegt werden, daß der Biegetisch an einem über die vertikale Seitenwandung 45 vorstehenden Anbau 46 gelagert ist.The axis of rotation 44, which may be the center of the physical axis of rotation or the geometric axis of rotation, is present, as can be seen in particular in FIG. 3, in the vicinity of the vertical plane of the vertical side wall 45 of the machine frame or the support beam 33. According to FIG. 3, it stands in front of its vertical plane 45. It can also be shown that the bending table is mounted on an extension 46 projecting beyond the vertical side wall 45.

Der balkenförmige Träger 33 ist, wie aus Figur 2 hervorgeht, so angeordnet, daß unterhalb dieses Trägers bis zur Standfläche des Maschinengestells ein freier Raum vorhanden ist. Dadurch kann das Rohr 47 in solcher Weise gebogen werden, daß Teile des gebogenen Rohres den Biegetisch und auch den Tragebalken 33 des Biegetisches untergreifen können.As can be seen from FIG. 2, the beam-shaped support 33 is arranged in such a way that there is a free space below this support up to the base of the machine frame. As a result, the tube 47 can be bent in such a way that parts of the bent tube can reach under the bending table and also the support beam 33 of the bending table.

Mit 48 ist die Gleitschiene bezeichnet. Diese wird in angegebener Doppelpfeilrichtung 49 in Radialrichtung der am Biegetisch 43 angeordneten Biegeschablone 50 bewegt durch eine Hydraulik-Zylinder-Anordnung 51. Um die Übertragung auf die Gleitschiene zu erreichen, ist ein Bauelement 52 vorhanden, das aus dem Schenkel 52a und dem Schenkel 52b besteht. Quer zu dem Antrieb 51 ist eine Kolben-Zylinder-Anordnung 53 vorhanden, die dazu dient, die Gleitschiene in angegebener Pfeilrichtung 53' und somit in Längserstreckung des Tragbalkens bzw. tangential zur Biegeschablone zu bewegen, damit die Gleitschiene beim Biegen des Rohres mitwandert. Der Biegetisch 43 und damit die Biegeschablone 50 wird gedreht durch den ebenfalls aus Figur 3 ersichtlichen, in gestrichelter Linie dargestellten Hydromotor 54 mit einer Schneckenwelle 55 und der Antriebesschnecke 56.With 48 the slide rail is designated. This is moved in the indicated double arrow direction 49 in the radial direction of the bending template 50 arranged on the bending table 43 by a hydraulic cylinder arrangement 51. In order to achieve the transfer to the slide rail, a component 52 is provided, which consists of the leg 52a and the leg 52b . Transversely to the drive 51 there is a piston-cylinder arrangement 53 which serves to move the slide rail in the indicated arrow direction 53 'and thus in the longitudinal direction of the support beam or tangentially to the bending template, so that the slide rail moves along when the tube is bent. The bending table 43 and thus the bending template 50 is rotated by the hydraulic motor 54 with a worm shaft 55 and the drive worm 56, likewise shown in FIG. 3 and shown in broken lines.

Die hydraulischen Antriebe 51, 53 und 54 sind in Figur 3 im wesentlichen schematisch und in ihrer räumlichen Anordnung zueinander dargestellt. Sie bilden eine bauliche Einheit 57, 58, die nachfolgend noch im einzelnen in Verbindung mit dem Figuren 4 bis 7 beschrieben wird.The hydraulic drives 51, 53 and 54 are shown essentially schematically in FIG. 3 and in their spatial arrangement with respect to one another. They form a structural unit 57, 58, which is described in detail below in connection with FIGS. 4 to 7.

Figur 4 zeigt, daß der Biegetisch 43 an einem Baukörper 46 gelagert ist, der über Schrauben 59 und 60 an der Seitenwandung 45 des balkenartigen Trägers 33 angeschraubt ist mit dem Ergebnis, daß die Drehachse, hier das Zentrum der Drehachse 44 über die Seitenwandung 45 vorsteht. Mit 56 ist das Schneckenrad bezeichnet, das mit einer zugeordneten Welle 55 versehen, von einem aus Figur 4 nicht ersichtlichen Hydromotor 54 ausgeht. Seitlich und parallel verlaufend ist die Kolben-Zylinder-Anordnung 51 vorhanden, bestehend aus dem Zylinder 51 a, dem Kolben 51 und der Kolbenstange 51c, die an einem träger 52 befestigt ist, der im Hinblick auf Figur 3 eine andere räumliche Anordnung, jedoch gleiche Funktionen hat, weil er die aus Figur 4 nicht ersichtliche Gleitschiene in angegebener Doppelpfeilrichtung 49 bewegt, damit die Gleitschiene an dem zu biegenden Rohr zur Anlage kommt oder von diesem entfernt wird.Figure 4 shows that the bending table 43 is mounted on a structure 46 which is screwed to the side wall 45 of the beam-like support 33 by means of screws 59 and 60, with the result that the axis of rotation, here the center of the axis of rotation 44, projects beyond the side wall 45 . With 56 the worm wheel is designated, which is provided with an assigned shaft 55, which starts from a hydraulic motor 54 which cannot be seen in FIG. Running laterally and in parallel is the piston-cylinder arrangement 51, consisting of the cylinder 51a, the piston 51 and the piston rod 51c, which is fastened to a carrier 52 which, with regard to FIG. 3, has a different spatial arrangement, but the same It has functions because it moves the slide rail (not shown in FIG. 4) in the indicated double arrow direction 49, so that the slide rail comes into contact with the pipe to be bent or is removed from it.

Aus Figur 4 geht ein Drehgeber 61 hervor, der an seinem unteren Ende mit einem Kettenrad 62 versehen ist, damit über eine Kette 63, verbunden mit einem Kettenrad 64 am rotationssymmetrischen Biegetisch, die jeweillige Drehung des Biegetisch, die jeweilige Drehung des Biegetisches erfaßt wird.4 shows a rotary encoder 61 which is provided at its lower end with a chain wheel 62 so that the respective rotation of the bending table, the respective rotation of the bending table, is detected via a chain 63, connected to a chain wheel 64 on the rotationally symmetrical bending table.

Figur 5 zeigt den aus Figur 4 im einzelnen nicht ersichtlichen Hydromotor 54 mit dessen abgehender Welle 55, die über eine Buchse 65 und zugeordnete Keile 66, 66a mit de Schneckenwelle 56a der Schnecke 56 verbunden ist. Die Schnekkenwelle 56a ist in dem vorerwähnten, den Biegetisch tragenden Gehause 46 gelagert.FIG. 5 shows the hydraulic motor 54, which cannot be seen in detail from FIG. 4, with its outgoing shaft 55, which is connected via a bushing 65 and associated wedges 66, 66a is connected to the worm shaft 56a of the worm 56. The worm shaft 56a is supported in the aforementioned housing 46 which supports the bending table.

Figur 5 zeigt die Gleitschiene 48, die an dem Träger 52b gelagert ist. Dieser wird, wie im Prinzip aus Figur 3 hervorgeht, in angegebener Doppelpfeilrichtung 49 radial zur Biegeschablone 50 verschoben durch den Zylinder 51a, dessen Kolbenstange 51c an einer Befestigung 52 ortsfest ist. Da der Kolben beidseitig aufschlagbar ist, wird die Zylinderwandung 51a verschoben, die mit der Gleitschiene verbunden ist. Figur 4 zeigt die Stellung, bei der die Gleitschiene an das zu biegende Rohr herangefahren ist. Die Bewegung erfolgt auf einer in Figur 5 dargestellten Schiene 67.Figure 5 shows the slide rail 48 which is mounted on the carrier 52b. As can be seen in principle from FIG. 3, this is displaced radially to the bending template 50 in the indicated double arrow direction 49 by the cylinder 51a, the piston rod 51c of which is fixed to a fastening 52. Since the piston can be hit on both sides, the cylinder wall 51a, which is connected to the slide rail, is displaced. Figure 4 shows the position in which the slide rail has moved up to the pipe to be bent. The movement takes place on a rail 67 shown in FIG. 5.

Die Bewegung der Gleitschiene 48 in Längserstreckung des Tragbalkens und somit zur Mitwanderung mit dem eingespannten Rohr erfolgt über eine in Figur 5 dargestellte Kolbenstange 53b und eine ebenfalls aus Figur 3 im Prinzip dargestellten Kolben-Zylinder-Anordnung 53, dessen Kolben 53c aus Figur 6 hervorgeht und in der Weise ausgebildet ist, daß er ebenfalls, von zwei Seiten beaufschlagt, in dem zylindrischen Gehäuse 53c bewegbar ist. An der Kolbenstange 53b ist ein Balken 52a vorhanden, der, wie das im Prinzip aus Figur 3 hervorgeht, mit der Gleitschiene 48 verbunden ist.The movement of the slide rail 48 in the longitudinal extension of the supporting beam and thus for migration with the clamped tube takes place via a piston rod 53b shown in FIG. 5 and a piston-cylinder arrangement 53 also shown in principle in FIG. 3, the piston 53c of which can be seen in FIG is designed in such a way that it can also be moved in the cylindrical housing 53c when it is acted upon from two sides. On the piston rod 53b there is a bar 52a which, as can be seen in principle from FIG. 3, is connected to the slide rail 48.

Figur 6 zeigt in gleicher Weise wie Figur 4 den Drehgeber 61 mit dessen unterhalb des Trägers 45 angeordneten Kettenrad 62, weiterhin die Kette 63 und das am Biegetisch vorhandene Kettenrad 64.FIG. 6 shows, in the same way as FIG. 4, the rotary encoder 61 with its sprocket 62 arranged below the carrier 45, furthermore the chain 63 and the sprocket 64 present on the bending table.

Figur 7 zeigt besonders deutlich, daß der Biegetisch 43 als Rotationskörper ausgebildet ist. Er ist in dem Baukörper 46 mit dessen Stirnseite 46a gelagert in zwei mit Abstand zueinander befindlichen Kegelrollenlagern 68 und 69. Der Biegetisch besteht aus der Hülse 70, die oben durch einen Deckel 71 über Schrauben 72 und unten durch eine Buchse 73 uber Schrauben 74 abgeschlossen ist. Zwischen den vorerwähnten Kegelrollenlagern 68 und 69 ist an der Hülse 70 das umlaufende Schneckenrad 75 befestigt, in das die Schnecke 56 des Hydromotors 54 eingreift. Die Hülse 70 ist als Zylinder ausgebildet. Sie hat in ihrem inneren einen Kolben 76, der beidseitig wirksam ist. Der Kolben hat eine nach unten vorstehende kolbenstange 77, die der Führung dient und eine nach oben vorstehende Kolbenstange 78, die in ihrem oberen Bereich eine durch eine staufenweise Verringerung des Durchmessers ausgebildete Stufe 79 hat. Im Zylinder sind zwei Zylinderräume 80 und 81 vorhanden, wobei der Zylinderraum 80 über einen Kanal 80a mit dem Einlaß 80b, der Zylinderraum 81 über einen Kanal 81a mit dem Einlaß 81b verbunden ist. Sofern über den Einlaß 80b Drucköl eingefüllt wird, dann ergibt dies eine Vergrößerung des Zylinderraumes 81 mit dem Anheben des Kolbens und dessen Kolbenstange 78.Figure 7 shows particularly clearly that the bending table 43 is designed as a rotating body. It is mounted in the structure 46 with its end face 46a in two spaced-apart tapered roller bearings 68 and 69. The bending table consists of the sleeve 70, which is closed at the top by a cover 71 via screws 72 and at the bottom by a bushing 73 via screws 74 . Between the aforementioned tapered roller bearings 68 and 69, the rotating worm wheel 75 is fixed to the sleeve 70, in which the worm 56 of the hydraulic motor 54 engages. The sleeve 70 is designed as a cylinder. It has a piston 76 in its interior which is effective on both sides. The piston has a downwardly projecting piston rod 77, which serves as a guide, and an upwardly projecting piston rod 78, which in its upper region has a step 79 formed by a stepwise reduction in the diameter. There are two cylinder spaces 80 and 81 in the cylinder, the cylinder space 80 being connected to the inlet 80b via a channel 80a, the cylinder space 81 being connected to the inlet 81b via a channel 81a. If pressure oil is filled in via the inlet 80b, this results in an enlargement of the cylinder space 81 with the lifting of the piston and its piston rod 78.

Die Biegeschablone 82 besteht aus dem oberen Biegeschablonenteil 82a und dem unteren Biegeschablonenteil 82b, wobei in der Mitte der Rinne 83 eine Trennlinie ist. Der obere Biegeschablonenteil 82a hat ebenfalls eine Stufe, damit über die Schraube 85 der obere Biegeschablonenteil mit der Kolbenstange 78 fest verbunden ist.The bending template 82 consists of the upper bending template part 82a and the lower bending template part 82b, with a dividing line in the middle of the groove 83. The upper bending template part 82a also has a step so that the upper bending template part is firmly connected to the piston rod 78 via the screw 85.

Der untere Biegeschablonenteil 82 it mit einem Fortsatz 86 versehen, der in seinem unteren Bereich 86a stark konisch, und sich nach außen erweiternd ausgebildet ist, damit in Verbindung mit dem ebenfalls konischen Ring 87 in Verbindung mit einem Keil 88 und Befestigungsschrauben 89 eine feste, verdrehungssichere Verbindung zwischen Biegetisch und Biegeschablone 82 stattfindet. Der Ring 82 besteht aus zwei Hälften.The lower bending template part 82 is provided with an extension 86, which is conical in its lower region 86a and which widens outwards, so that in connection with the likewise conical ring 87 in connection with a wedge 88 and fastening screws 89, it is secure against rotation Connection between the bending table and bending template 82 takes place. The ring 82 consists of two halves.

Sofern über den Einlaß 81b der Kolben mit seiner Kolbenstange 78 angehogen wird, dann wird zugleich der obere Biegeschablonenteil 82a angehoben. Sofern jedoch im umgekehrter Weise über den Einlaß 80b Öl eingefüllt wird, dann wird der Kolben 76 nach unten gefahren und entsprechend der obere Biegeschablonenteil 82a an den unteren Biegeschablonenteil 82b angelegt. Die Festklemmstellung ist in Figur 8, die Offenstellung in Figur 9 dargelegt. Beide Biegeschablonenteile haben über ihren hauptsächlichen Umfang viertelkreisförmige Rillen 83a und 83b. Um eine Festklemmung des zu biegenden Rohres zu erreichen, ist an einem Teil des Umfanges ein nach außen vorstehender Kragen 90 vorhanden, der eine Nut 83c von halbkreisförmigem Querschnitt hat. Dieser Kragen hat weiterhin einen über die Trennebene 91 der beiden Biegeschablonenhälften nach unten vorstehenden Fortsazt 92.If the piston is raised with its piston rod 78 via the inlet 81b, then the upper bending template part 82a is raised at the same time. However, if oil is filled in the reverse way via the inlet 80b, the piston 76 is moved downward and the upper bending template part 82a is correspondingly applied to the lower bending template part 82b. The clamping position is shown in Figure 8, the open position in Figure 9. Both bending template parts have quarter-circular grooves 83a and 83b over their main circumference. In order to clamp the pipe to be bent, an outwardly projecting collar 90 is provided on part of the circumference, which has a groove 83c of semicircular cross section. This collar also has a continuation 92 projecting downward over the parting plane 91 of the two bending template halves.

Diese vorbeschriebene Ausbildung der oberen Biegeschablonenhälfte dient als Spannbäcke zum Festklemmen des Rohres an der Biegeschablone.These previously described design of the upper Biegeschablonenhä fte l serves as Spannbäcke for clamping the tube at the bending template.

Figur 11 zeigt den Tragbalken 33 als Rohr mit rechteckigem Querschnitt, an dem die Schiene 34 angeschweißt ist. Diese trägt über eine angeschweißte Zwischenschiene 93 die angeschweißte Zahnstange 94, in die der Antrieb des Vorschubwanges eingreift.Figure 11 shows the support beam 33 as a tube with a rectangular cross-section to which the rail 34 is welded. This carries, via a welded-on intermediate rail 93, the welded-on toothed rack 94, in which the drive of the feed cheek engages.

Figur 12 zeigt, daß seitlich an dem Tragbalken der Körper 46 angeschraubt ist, der mit einem abgewinkelten Teil 46a versehen ist und mit dem Biegetisch 43 sowie den Antrieben 54, 51, 53 eine bauliche Einheit darstellt.Figure 12 shows that the body 46 is screwed to the side of the support beam, which is provided with an angled part 46a and with the bending table 43 and the drives 54, 51, 53 is a structural unit.

Die Rohrbiegemaschine nch Fig. 2 hat eine Länge des Tragbalkens von 3 bis 4 Meter und eine Höhe von 1 Meter. Der Tragbalken nach den Figuren 11 und 12 hat eine Breite von 15 cm bei einer Höhe von 10 cm. Die Laufschiene 34 ist 12 cm breit.2 has a length of the support beam of 3 to 4 meters and a height of 1 meter. The support beam according to FIGS. 11 and 12 has a width of 15 cm and a height of 10 cm. The running rail 34 is 12 cm wide.
