(39) The flanging die is preferably mounted at the opening of the C-shaped notch, and the upper flanging die 32 and the lower flanging die 33 are mounted on opposite upper and lower sides of the C-shaped notch, respectively.
(40) One end of the horizontal beam is connected with the C-shaped notch, and the other end of the horizontal beam is provided with a driving inclined plane 313.
(41) The flanging beam is driven by the flanging beam driving mechanism to move up-and-down and left-and-right movement.
(42) The flanging beam driving mechanism comprises an inclined slide rail 41, an inertia block 42 and two crank-connecting rod mechanisms.
(43) The inclined slide rail is preferably and obliquely mounted on the machine frame of the numerically-controlled bending equipment adjacent to the flanging die, namely on the upper surface of the plate supporting base adjacent to the lower die. That is to say, an inclined smooth surface is arranged on the upper surface of the plate supporting base adjacent to the lower die as an inclined slide rail. As an organic component of the machine frame, the inclined slide rail has high supporting rigidity, and is suitable for flanging requirements of large-tonnage metal plates.
(44) As shown in

(46) In this embodiment, the inertia block is preferably a triangle, more preferably an acute triangle, even more preferably an isosceles acute triangle, and may also be a right triangle.
(47) As an alternative, the inertia block may be in the shape of other polygons such as an L, a trapezoid, a quadrilateral, or a wedge. However, when the inertia block is a trapezoid, the two non-parallel inclined planes are two “waists” of the trapezoid, respectively.

(50) The two crank-connecting rod mechanisms have the following two preferred embodiments, and thus the high-precision heavy-load numerically-controlled flanging machine of the present invention also has the following two preferred embodiments.
Embodiment 1
(51) The two crank-connecting rod mechanisms are a crank-connecting rod mechanism I 43 and a crank-connecting rod mechanism 1144, respectively.

(55) When the connecting rod I of the crank-connecting rod mechanism I is hinged with the flanging beam, the bending load is directly transmitted to the machine frame through the crank-connecting rod mechanism I, and the sliding pair only needs to bear a very small load (only needs to bear the overturning load caused by the load center not being in a straight line with the hinge center, which is actually much smaller than the bending working load), so that heavy-load large-tonnage bending can be realized.
(56) When the connecting rod of the crank-connecting rod mechanism I is hinged with the flanging beam, the inverse kinematics solution of the flanging beam driving mechanism is simpler, the analytical solution is easier to solve, and the heavy-load high-precision control is facilitated. The working principle is shown in
Embodiment 2
(57) One end of the connecting rod I is hinged with the crank I, the other end of the connecting rod I is hinged with the inertia block. In
(58) In the above two embodiments, the transmission of the connecting rod of the crank-connecting rod mechanism I is preferably the following two driving methods.
(59) Driving method I: the machine frame is preferably provided with a servo motor I configured for driving the crank I to rotate.
(60) Driving method II: the transmission of the connecting rod of the crank-connecting rod mechanism I is driven by the toggle mechanism, which is specifically arranged as follows: the toggle mechanism is hinged at a hinge point where the crank I is hinged with the connecting rod I, and the hinge point is called a driving hinge point.
(61) The toggle mechanism has the following three preferred embodiments.
(62) 1. As shown in
(63) 2. As shown in
(64) 3. As shown in
(65) As an alternative, the driving of the crank-connecting rod mechanism I may be the driving method that the servo motor drives the connecting rod I.
(66) The crank-connecting rod mechanism I can be arranged behind the inertia block and can also be arranged above and below the inertia block, and the specific position is not limited.
(67) The crank-connecting rod mechanism II comprises a crank II 442 and a connecting rod II 443 hinged with each other. The tail end of the crank II is preferably hinged on the machine frame through a fixing base 11441, and the machine frame is preferably provided with a servo motor II configured for driving the crank II to rotate.
(68) The other end of the connecting rod II is preferably hinged with the horizontal beam.
(69) In the present invention, the transmission of the connecting rod of the crank-connecting rod mechanism II can also be the two driving methods as those of the crank-connecting rod mechanism I. As an alternative, the driving of the crank-connecting rod mechanism may be the method that the servo motor drives the connecting rod II to move can also be adopted.
(70) The crank-connecting rod mechanism II of the present invention can be arranged above or below the flanging beam, and the specific position is not limited.
(71) The flanging die displacement detection mechanism is configured for detecting the coordinates of the flanging die, and preferably is two groups of grating rulers, and the movement displacement of the flanging beam in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction is fed back indirectly through the synthesis and operation of readings of the two groups of the grating rulers.
(72) Each group of grating rulers comprises scale gratings, reading heads and displacement connecting rods.
(73) The two groups of grating rulers are a grating ruler I and a grating ruler II, respectively. As shown in
(74) The scale grating I and the scale grating II are mounted on the machine frame, the reading head I is slidably connected in the scale grating I, the reading head II is slidably connected in the scale grating II, the displacement connecting rod I is configured for connecting the reading head with the flanging die, and the displacement connecting rod II is configured for connecting the reading head II with the flanging die.
(75) As an alternative, the scale grating I and the scale grating II can also be arranged on the flanging beam, and the other ends of the displacement connecting rod I and the displacement connecting rod II are connected with the machine frame.
(76) In the present invention, the precision and the rigidity of the flanging die can be improved, and the load of the sliding pair I and the sliding pair II can be alleviated by optimizing the inclination angles of two inclined planes of the inertia block, the positions of hinge points, the supporting positions and the connecting rod length of the crank-connecting rod mechanisms.
(77) The present invention will be described in detail by taking the following three specific driving embodiments as examples.
Example 1. Simultaneous Movement in the Horizontal Direction (X Direction) and the Vertical Direction (Y Direction)
(78) By the nonlinear coupling driving (composite driving) of the crank driving mechanism I and the crank driving mechanism II as shown in
(79) In the process, due to the absence of additional swing, the movement orbit 35 of the tool nose of the flanging die can be controlled precisely on the XOY plane, as shown in
(80) In the actual bending process, angle errors are inevitable. In this case, the movement displacement in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction of the flanging beam required by angle compensation can be calculated according to accurate mathematical operation for compensation and correction, and then the corresponding rotation angles of the crank I and the crank II are calculated through inverse kinematics solution, so that the bending precision is compensated. The whole process can be controlled automatically through a closed-loop control of “angle measurement—displacement calculation of the flanging beam—driving angle calculation of cranks I and II—real-time correction”, that is, intelligent angle precision compensation.
(81) The displacement of the flanging beam is fed back in real time by adopting a linear displacement feedback measuring device, such as a grating ruler, to form a closed-loop control. By the feedback of the grating ruler, the transmission part error, the temperature deformation and the elastic deformation of the structure can be compensated, and thus the precision is greatly increased.
Example 2. Movement in the Vertical Direction
(82) By the nonlinear coupling driving (composite driving) of the crank driving mechanism I and the crank driving mechanism II as shown in
(83) In the process of translation in the vertical direction, the displacement X and the displacement Y of the flanging beam can be solved analytically through real-time readings of the two grating rulers. The displacement movement process of the two grating rulers is shown in
Example 3. Movement in the Horizontal Direction
(84) By the nonlinear coupling driving (composite driving) of the crank driving mechanism I and the crank driving mechanism II as shown in
(85) In the process of translation in the horizontal direction, the displacement X and the displacement Y of the flanging beam can be solved analytically through real-time readings of the two grating rulers. The displacement movement process of the two grating rulers is shown in
(86) As shown in
(87) Step 1. Establishing a coordinate system and a linear equation of the grating rulers, comprising:
(88) Step 11, establishing a coordinate system: establishing an XOY coordinate system by taking the horizontal direction as the X direction, the vertical direction as the Y direction and the intersection point of the two scale gratings as the origin O;
(89) Step 12, establishing a linear equation 1 of the scale grating II:
y=K.sub.1x
K.sub.1=tan(a1)
(90) wherein, a1 is an included angle between the scale grating II and the X direction; the coordinate of the point of the reading head II on the linear equation 1 is P1 (x.sub.p1, y.sub.p1), and the distance between the point P1 and the origin O is R.sub.1; the values of x.sub.p1 and y.sub.p1 are automatically read by the reading head II, and are known values;
(91) Step 13, establishing a linear equation 2 of the scale grating I:
y=K.sub.2x
K.sub.2=tan(a2)
(92) wherein, a2 is an included angle between the scale grating I and the X direction; the coordinate of the point of the reading head I on the linear equation 2 is P2(x.sub.p2, y.sub.p2), and the distance between the point P2 and the origin O is R.sub.2; the values of x.sub.p2 and y.sub.p2 are automatically read by the reading head I, and are known values.
(93) Step 2. Establishing a circle 1 with the radius being R.sub.1: establishing a circle 1 with the point P1 as the center and the radius being R.sub.1, wherein the equation of the circle 1 is:
(x−x.sub.p1).sup.2+(y−y.sub.p1).sup.2=R.sub.1.sup.2 (1)
(94) and expanding the equation of the circle 1 as:
x.sup.2−2x.sub.p1x+x.sub.p1.sup.2+y.sup.2−2y.sub.p1y+y.sub.p1.sup.2−R.sub.1.sup.2=0 (2)
(95) Step 3. Establishing a circle 2 with the radius being R.sub.2: establishing a circle 2 with the point P2 as the center and the radius being R.sub.2, wherein the equation of the circle 2 is:
(x−x.sub.p2).sup.2+(y−y.sub.p2).sup.2=R.sub.2.sup.2 (3)
(96) and expanding the equation of the circle 2 as:
x.sup.2−2x.sub.p2x+x.sub.p2.sup.2+y.sup.2−2y.sub.p2y+y.sub.p2.sup.2−R.sub.2.sup.2=0 (4)
(97) Step 4. Solving the coordinate of the point P (x.sub.p, y.sub.p) of the flanging beam and the flanging die: the coordinate of the point P (x.sub.p, y.sub.p) of the flanging beam and the flanging die is one of the intersection points of the circle 1 and the circle 2; x.sub.p and y.sub.p, are solved as follows:
(98) subtracting equation (2) from equation (4) to obtain the following difference equation of the intersection point:
(99)
setting:
(100)
then, simplifying equation (5) to:
y=Kx+b (6)
putting equation (6) into equation (1), and transforming to obtain:
(K.sup.2+1)x.sup.2+2(Kb−Ky.sub.p1−x.sub.p1)x+(x.sub.p1.sup.2+b.sup.2−2by.sub.p1+y.sub.p1.sup.2−R.sub.1.sup.2)=0 (7)
setting:
A=K.sup.2+1
B=2(Kb−Ky.sub.p1−x.sub.p1)
C=(x.sub.p1.sup.2+b.sup.2−2by.sub.p1+y.sub.p1.sup.2−R.sub.1.sup.2)
transforming equation (7) to obtain:
Ax.sup.2+Bx+C=0 (8)
solving the quadratic function of equation (8) to obtain an explicit solution of the X coordinate of the intersection point:
(101)
then, putting equation (9) into equation (6) to obtain an explicit solution of the Y coordinate of the intersection point:
y.sub.p=Kx.sub.p+b (10)
thus, acquiring all solutions for x.sub.p and y.sub.p.
(102) In the present invention, compared with the traditional lead screw transmission, the arrangement of the two crank-connecting rod mechanisms has the following advantages (mainly embodied in two aspects of bearing and noise).
(103) 1. The lead screw transmission is a linear transmission, the inverse kinematics solution is easy to solve, and the movement control is simple. But the design and manufacturing difficulty of the mechanical structure is increased, even leading to the failure of the mechanical design and manufacture, and the overall performance of the mechanism is reduced. However, the present invention is a nonlinear coupling mechanism, and the solving of the inverse kinematics solution is relatively complicated. Once the analytical solution is solved, the design and manufacturing difficulty of the mechanical structure can be greatly reduced, and the performance of the mechanism can be improved.
(104) 2. For a lead screw nut transmission mode, the fitting precision between the central line of a hinge revolute pair of a lead screw and the central line of a thread transmission pair is required to be very high and generally needs to be controlled at about 0.02 mm, which is difficult to achieve in actual production. If this precision requirement is not met, problems such as noise, vibration and shortened life are inevitable, and problems such as resonance will also occur. However, the nonlinear crank-connecting rod mechanisms of the present invention are all common conventional hinged constraints, which are small in manufacturing difficulty and easy to realize industrialization.
(105) 3. Due to the nonlinear characteristic of the mechanisms, the fast and low load output in a non-working stroke, and the slow and high load output in a working stroke, the pressure maintaining is facilitated at the end of the bending working stroke only by a smaller motor torque to improve the bending processing precision. However, the pressure maintaining of the linear lead screw mechanism will be performed by the peak motor torque, which will make the motor heat.
(106) 4. When the lead screw bears heavy load, as the hinge point and the screw thread pair of the lead screw are not strictly symmetrical, and the connection rigidity of the lead screw and a structural part is poor, the lead screw can generate bending deformation as shown in
(107) 5. The present invention has the nonlinear characteristic, which is very suitable for bending working condition, and has the fast and low load output in a non-working stroke, and the slow and high load output in a working stroke.
(108) 6. When the connecting rod I of the crank-connecting rod mechanism I is hinged with the flanging beam, the bending load is directly transmitted to the machine frame through the crank-connecting rod mechanism I, and the sliding pair only needs to bear a very small load (only needs to bear the overturning load caused by the load center not being in a straight line with the hinge center, which is actually much smaller than the bending working load), so that heavy-load large-tonnage bending can be realized.
(109) When the connecting rod of the crank-connecting rod mechanism I is hinged with the flanging beam, the inverse kinematics solution of the flanging beam driving mechanism is simpler, the analytical solution is easier to solve, and the high-speed high-precision control is facilitated.
(110) Assuming that, in general, the speed of the total stroke is about 200 mm/s, the idle stroke is 190 mm, the bending stroke is 5 mm (upper and lower ends), the bending speed is 8 mm/s (not greatly affecting the efficiency), and the maximum speed is 200 mm/s: assuming that a required bending load is 150000 N, the time for both mechanisms to travel the total stroke at the highest speed is equal as 1 s.
(111) For a linear transmission mechanism of a ball screw, the power required by a motor is as follows: P=0.2 m/s.Math.150000 N=30000 W=30 kW.
(112) After a nonlinear crank-connecting rod transmission mechanism of the present invention is adopted, a speed-position curve, a force-position curve and a schematic diagram of the crank-connecting rod mechanism moving to a certain specific position are shown in
(113) In the crank-connecting rod mechanism, assuming that a hinge point between the crank and the machine frame is A, a hinge point between the crank and the connecting rod is B, and a hinge point between the connecting rod and the inertia block or the flanging beam is C, a schematic diagram of the crank-connecting rod mechanism moving to a certain specific position is shown in
(114) The output torque of the servo motor I or the servo motor II is as follows:
M=F.Math.R.Math.sin(α+β)=150000.Math.0.1.Math.sin(19°)=4883.5 Nm
wherein, F is the bending load, and R is the length of the crank: 100 mm, i.e., 0.1 m.
(115) The angular speed is as follows:
(116)
(117) then the output power of the servo motor I or the servo motor II is as follows:
P=M.Math.ω=4883.5 Nm.Math.3.14 rad/s=15334 W≈15 kW.
(118) Therefore, compared with a linear transmission mode of a ball screw, the motor driving power of present invention is reduced by about 50%, and the effects of energy saving and cost reduction are very obvious.
(119) Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail, the present invention is not limited to the details of the embodiments. Various equivalent changes may be made within the technical concept of the present invention, and these equivalent changes are within the technical scope of the present invention.
