Abstract

The bending support (14) pivots under its own power round the swivel axis (18) of the bending jaw (12) or axis parallel to this and both parts (14a) of the support are excentric to the axis (18) to make up peripheral sections addressed respectively to the inside (22) of the hollow profile bar (20) when the support pivots. In this position the sector lies spaced from the plane (17) in which support (16) and jaw (12) lie flush with the first support sector (26a). The bending support (14) can pivot along with the jaw (12) round axis (18). Support (14), or support part (14a), are at the tip of backholder (13) which faces the jaw (12) and is in turn applied to the inner wall (23) of the hollow profile bar (20). The backholder (13) comes in wedge shape so the tip faces the bending support (14).

Description

Die Erfindung geht aus von einer Vorrichtung mit den im Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 angegebenen Merkmalen. Eine solche Vorrichtung ist aus der EP 0 483 044 A1 bekannt. Die bekannte Vorrichtung dient zum Biegen von Hohlprofilstäben zu Abstandhalterrahmen für Isolierglasscheiben. Die Hohlprofilstäbe haben zwei zueinander parallele Flanken sowie eine Innenwand und eine Außenwand, welche die Flanken miteinander verbinden. Insbesondere geht es um sogenannte Kastenprofile, welche gebogen werden sollen, solange die Hohlprofilstäbe noch kein körniges Trockenmittel enthalten, welches Abstandhalterrahmen in Isolierglasscheiben enthalten müssen. Die Vorrichtung hat ein Gestell, welches ein Biegewerkzeug trägt. Das Biegewerkzeug hat eine Biegewange, welche um eine Schwenkachse verschwenkbar ist und zum Biegen auf die Außenwand des Hohlprofilstabes einwirkt. Zum Biegewerkzeug gehören ferner ein Biegewiderlager, um welches herum der Hohlprofilstab gebogen wird, und eine Stütze, welche auf der der Ausgangslage der Biegewange abgewandten Seite der Schwenkachse der Biegewange angeordnet ist und die Außenwand des Hohlprofilstabes stützt, so dass dessen auf der betreffenden Seite des Biegewiderlagers liegender Schenkel nicht ausweichen kann, während der auf der anderen Seite des Biegewiderlagers liegende Schenkel abgebogen wird. Das Biegewiderlager soll die Stelle, an welcher der Hohlprofilstab gebogen wird, markieren, die Innenwand des Hohlprofilstabes eindrücken und bewirken, dass der Hohlprofilstab an seiner Innenwand an der Biegestelle eine vorbestimmte Gestalt annimmt.The invention relates to a device having the features specified in the preamble of claim 1. Such a device is from the EP 0 483 044 A1 known. The known device is used for bending hollow profile bars to spacer frame for insulating glass panes. The hollow profile bars have two parallel flanks and an inner wall and an outer wall, which connect the flanks together. In particular, it is about so-called box sections, which should be bent, as long as the hollow profile bars do not contain a granular desiccant, which must contain spacer frame in insulating glass. The device has a frame which carries a bending tool. The bending tool has a bending cheek, which is pivotable about a pivot axis and acts to bend on the outer wall of the hollow profile rod. The bending tool also includes a Biegewiderlager, around which the hollow profile bar is bent, and a support which is disposed on the side facing away from the starting position of the bending cheek side of the pivot axis of the bending cheek and supports the outer wall of the hollow profile bar, so that its lying on the relevant side of the bending support leg can not escape while the limb lying on the other side of the bending support is bent. The bendable abutment is to mark the position at which the hollow profile bar is bent, impress the inner wall of the hollow profile bar and cause the hollow profile bar to assume a predetermined shape on its inner wall at the bending point.

Das aus der EP 0 483 044 A2 bekannte Biegewiderlager besteht aus zwei Widerlagerteilen, welche jeweils die Gestalt eines Niets haben. Die beiden Widerlagerteile sind gleichachsig so angeordnet, dass ihre beiden Köpfe einander zugewandt sind. Ihr gegenseitiger Abstand ist veränderbar, um sie auf unterschiedlich breite Hohlprofilstäbe einstellen zu können. Zu diesem Zweck ist das eine Widerlagerteil an einer ortsfesten Führungsbacke und das andere Widerlagerteil an einer verschiebbaren Führungsbacke befestigt, welche parallel zu der ortsfesten Führungsbacke dieser gegenüberliegt und deren Abstand von der ortsfesten Führungsbacke veränderlich ist. Diese Führungsbacken dienen einerseits dazu, den Hohlprofilstab zu führen, während er dem Biegewerkzeug zugeführt wird, und dienen andererseits dazu, ein Ausbeulen der Flanken des Hohlprofilstabes beim Biegen zu verhindern.That from the EP 0 483 044 A2 known Biegewiderlager consists of two abutment parts, which each have the shape of a rivet. The two abutment parts are coaxially arranged so that their two heads face each other. Their mutual distance is changeable in order to be able to adjust them to different width hollow profile bars. For this purpose, one abutment part is fastened to a stationary guide jaw and the other abutment part is fixed to a displaceable guide jaw, which lies parallel to the stationary guide jaw and whose distance from the stationary guide jaw is variable. These guide jaws serve on the one hand to guide the hollow profile rod while it is fed to the bending tool, and on the other hand serve to prevent buckling of the flanks of the hollow profile rod during bending.

Bei der bekannten Biegevorrichtung ist es nachteilig, dass man zwischen dem Biegewiderlager auf der einen Seite und den gemeinsam von der Stütze und von der Biegewange in ihrer Ausgangslage definierten Fluchtlinien andererseits einen Abstand benötigt, welcher wesentlich größer ist als die Höhe des Hohlprofilstabes; das ist nötig, um den Hohlprofilstab ungehindert in das Biegewerkzeug einführen, nach dem Biegen vorzuschieben und schließlich daraus wieder entnehmen zu können. Die nachteilige Folge davon ist, dass der Hohlprofilstab nicht gut geführt ist und dass die Biegewange den Hohlprofilstab vor dem Biegen zunächst gegen das Biegewiderlager anheben muss, was für die Qualität und Wiederholbarkeit des Biegeergebnisses ungünstig ist.In the known bending device, it is disadvantageous that on the one hand between the bending abutment on the one hand and the joint lines defined by the support and the bending beam in its initial position requires a distance which is substantially greater than the height of the hollow profile rod; this is necessary to unhindered insert the hollow section bar in the bending tool to advance after bending and finally to be able to remove it again. The disadvantageous consequence of this is that the hollow profile bar is not is well managed and that the bending cheek must first raise the hollow profile bar against the bending support before bending, which is unfavorable for the quality and repeatability of the bending result.

Diese Nachteile will der aus der EP 0 771 597 B1 bekannte Vorschlag einer Biegevorrichtung vermeiden, bei welcher das zweiteilige Biegewiderlager getrennt von den Führungsbacken verstellbar ist. Allerdings erfordert dieser Vorschlag eine aufwändige und schwergewichtige Mechanik mit mehreren Druckmittelzylindern, um das Biegewiderlager unabhängig von den Führungsbacken bewegen zu können.These disadvantages want from the EP 0 771 597 B1 avoid known proposal of a bending device in which the two-part bending abutment is separated from the guide jaws adjustable. However, this proposal requires a complex and heavy-weight mechanism with several pressure cylinders to be able to move the bending irons independently of the guide jaws.

Aus der DE 41 16 521 C2 ist eine Vorrichtung zum Biegen von Hohlprofilleisten bekannt, welche ein Biegewiederlager aufweist, das mit Hilfe eines Linearmotors um eine zur Biegeschwenkachse parallele Achse verschwenkt werden kann. Das Biegewiederlager dieser Vorrichtung ist wahlweise als eine drehbare Rolle oder ein fingerartiges Gleitstück mit einer abgerundeten Gleitfläche ausgebildet.From the DE 41 16 521 C2 a device for bending hollow profile strips is known, which has a bending elastic bearing which can be pivoted by means of a linear motor about an axis parallel to the bending axis. The bending elastic bearing of this device is optionally formed as a rotatable roller or a finger-like slider with a rounded sliding surface.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine verglichen mit der EP 0 771 597 B1 einfachere Vorrichtung zu schaffen, welche es einerseits ermöglicht, den Hohlprofilstab bis zum Beginn des Biegevorgangs und während des Biegevorgangs besser zu führen und ihn nach dem Biegevorgang so weit freizugeben, dass er durch das Biegewerkzeug hindurch vorgeschoben und schließlich aus der Vorrichtung entnommen werden kann.The present invention is based on the object, compared with the EP 0 771 597 B1 to provide a simpler device, which on the one hand allows the hollow profile bar to better lead to the beginning of the bending process and during the bending process and release it after the bending process so far that it can be advanced through the bending tool and finally removed from the device.

Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst durch eine Vorrichtung mit den in Anspruch 1 angegebenen Merkmalen. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.This object is achieved by a device having the features specified in claim 1. Advantageous developments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.

Die Erfindung löst die Aufgabe durch eine besondere Ausbildung des zweiteiligen Biegewiderlagers, indem dieses mittels eines eigenen Antriebs um die Schwenkachse der Biegewange oder um eine ihr benachbarte und zu ihr parallele Achse, vorzugsweise aber um die Schwenkachse der Biegewange, schwenkbar ist und dass die beiden Widerlagerteile in Bezug auf ihre Schwenkachse eine in der Weise exzentrisch ausgebildete Gestalt haben, dass das Biegewiderlager von der Ebene, in welcher die Biegewange und die Stütze miteinander fluchten (das ist auch die Förderbahn, auf welcher die Hohlprofilstäbe sich beim Vorschub mit ihrer Außenseite bewegen), zu Beginn des Biegevorgangs einen Abstand hat, der gleich oder kleiner als die Höhe des Hohlprofilstabes ist, nach dem Biegevorgang, bei welchem das Biegewiderlager mit verschwenkt wird, jedoch einen Abstand hat, der größer ist als die Höhe der Hohlprofilleiste. Damit dieser größere Abstand beim Vorschieben des Hohlprofilstabes beibehalten werden kann, ist das Biegewiderlager unabhängig von der Biegewange verschwenkbar, so dass es nach dem Biegevorgang, wenn die Biegewange in ihre Ausgangslage zurückbewegt wird, in seiner ausgelenkten Lage verbleiben oder noch weiter bis in eine Endlage verschwenkt werden kann, in welcher der Hohlprofilstab behinderungsfrei und ohne das Biegewiderlager zu berühren, über die Biegewange hinweg vorgeschoben werden kann bis zur nächsten Biegestelle. Erst dann wird das Biegewiderlager in seine Ausgangslage zurückverschwenkt, in welcher es der Innenwand des Hohlprofilstabes anliegt und dieses vorzugsweise schon vor Beginn des Biegevorganges etwas eindrückt und damit die Biegestelle eindeutig markiert.The invention solves the problem by a special design of the two-part bending spider, by this by means of its own drive about the pivot axis of the bending beam or to an adjacent and parallel to her axis, but preferably about the pivot axis of the bending cheek, is pivotable and that the two abutment parts with respect to their pivot axis have a eccentric shape in such a way that the bending abutment of the plane in which the bending cheek and the support are aligned (which is also the Conveyor on which the hollow profile bars move during the feed with its outer side), at the beginning of the bending process has a distance which is equal to or smaller than the height of the hollow profile bar, after the bending process, in which the bending support is pivoted with, but has a distance , which is greater than the height of the hollow profile strip. So that this greater distance can be maintained during advancement of the hollow profile rod, the bending support is independent of the bending cheek pivot so that it remains after the bending operation when the bending beam is moved back to its original position in its deflected position or even further pivoted to an end position can be, in which the hollow profile rod without hindrance and without touching the bending support, can be advanced over the bending beam away until the next bending point. Only then is the flexural deflector swung back to its original position, in which it rests against the inner wall of the hollow profile rod and this preferably already before the beginning of the bending process something impresses and thus clearly marks the bending point.

Die Erfindung erreicht mit außerordentlich einfachen Mitteln, dass das Biegewiderlager beim Biegevorgang seine Widerlager-Aufgabe voll erfüllt, beim Vorschieben der Hohlprofilstäbe aber unwirksam ist. Die Innenwand des Hohlprofilstabes, welche als einzige Wand später in der Isolierglasscheibe gut sichtbar ist, bleibt auf diese Weise frei von Kratzern und anderen Schleifspuren, die insbesondere dann störend sind, wenn die Oberfläche des Hohlprofilstabes glänzend oder lackiert ist.The invention achieves with extremely simple means that the bending abutment fully fulfills its abutment task during the bending process, but is ineffective when advancing the hollow profile rods. The inner wall of the hollow profile bar, which is clearly visible as the only wall later in the insulating glass, remains in this way free from scratches and other grinding marks, which are particularly disturbing when the surface of the hollow profile bar is shiny or painted.

Um das Biegewiderlager für Zwecke der Erfindung getrennt von der Biegewange bewegen zu können, genügt ein einfacher Druckluftzylinder. Dieser kann so gesteuert werden, dass er zu Beginn und während des Biegevorganges das Biegewiderlager gegen den Hohlprofilstab und damit gegen die Biegewange drückt, wodurch der Hohlprofilstab zwischen Biegewiderlager und Biegewange eingespannt wird und die Biegewange den Biegevorgang unter Überwindung der vom Druckluftzylinder ausgeübten Gegenkraft durchführt. Ist der gewünschte Biegewinkel erreicht und wird die Biegewange dann in ihre Ausgangslage zurückverschwenkt, kann man den Druckmittelzylinder drucklos machen, oder, besser noch, umsteuern, so dass er bis in eine Endlage weitergeschwenkt wird, in welcher er den Hohlprofilstab beim Vorschub nicht mehr berührt. Nachdem der Hohlprofilstab seine nächste Biegestelle erreicht hat, wird das Biegewiderlager durch Betätigen des Druckluftzylinders in seine Ausgangslage zurückgeschwenkt. In diesem Zusammenhang ist es besonders bevorzugt, wenn das Biegewiderlager oder eines seiner Teile an der Spitze eines der Biegewange gegenüberliegenden Gegenhalters angeordnet ist, welcher zum Anlegen an die Innenwand des Hohlprofilstabs ausgebildet ist. Ein solcher Gegenhalter erleichtert nicht nur die Handhabkarkeit des Gegenwiderlagers, sondern kann auch zusammen mit der Biegewange eine Klemme bilden, in welcher der Hohlprofilstab nach Bedarf zeitweise festgelegt werden kann. Zu diesem Zweck ist die der Innenwand des Hohlprofilstabes zugewandte Oberfläche des Gegenhalters vorzugsweise eben ausgebildet.In order to be able to move the flexural deflector separately from the bending beam for purposes of the invention, a simple compressed air cylinder is sufficient. This one can do that be controlled that he presses at the beginning and during the bending process, the bending abutment against the hollow profile rod and thus against the bending cheek, whereby the hollow profile rod is clamped between Biegewiderlager and bending cheek and the bending cheek performs the bending operation by overcoming the force exerted by the compressed air cylinder counterforce. Once the desired bending angle has been reached and the bending cheek is then pivoted back into its starting position, the pressure medium cylinder can be depressurized or, better still, reversed, so that it is pivoted further into an end position in which it no longer touches the hollow profile rod during the advance. After the hollow profile bar has reached its next bending point, the bending abutment is pivoted back by pressing the air cylinder in its initial position. In this context, it is particularly preferred if the bending abutment or one of its parts is arranged at the tip of a counter-holder opposite the bending cheek, which is designed for application to the inner wall of the hollow-section bar. Such an anvil not only facilitates the handling of the counter-abutment, but can also form a clamp together with the bending cheek, in which the hollow profile bar can be temporarily fixed as needed. For this purpose, the inner wall of the hollow profile bar facing surface of the counter-holder is preferably flat.

Eine Möglichkeit, die Hohlprofilstäbe zu klemmen, ist vorzugsweise auch auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite der Schwenkachse, in der Nachbarschaft der Stütze vorgesehen, wo vorzugsweise ein hinterer Klemmbacken und ein vorderer Klemmbacken vorgesehen sind, welche zum Klemmen der Flanken des Hohlprofilstabes bestimmt sind, wobei der hintere Klemmbacken stationär und der vordere Klemmbacken verschiebbar ausgebildet sein soll. Der hintere Klemmbacken begrenzt die Schwenkbewegung der Biegewange. Um große Schwenkwinkel zu erreichen, ist vorzugsweise vorgesehen, dass der hintere Klemmbacken und der Gegenhalter keilförmig ausgebildet sind, wobei die Keilspitze jeweils zum Biegewiderlager weist und die Keilflächen so angeordnet und ausgebildet sind, dass die Keilfläche des Gegenhalters durch Verschwenken des Gegenhalters schließlich an den hinteren Klemmbacken anschlägt und dort seine Endlage findet, wobei der Anschlag vorzugsweise flächig erfolgt. Die Keilwinkel des Gegenhalters und des hinteren Klemmbackens sollten so gewählt werden, dass sie zusammengenommen kleiner als 50°, insbesondere kleiner als 30°, sind, so dass entsprechend große Biegewinkel, die 90° weit übersteigen, möglich sind.
Für die Herstellung von Abstandhalterrahmen für Isolierglasscheiben sind zwei Typen von Hohlprofilstäben gebräuchlich. Am häufigsten werden sogenannte Kastenprofile verwendet, bei welchen die Innenwand rechtwinklig von zueinander parallelen Flanken des Hohlprofilstabes ausgeht und die Außenwand in einem mittleren Bereich parallel zur Innenwand läuft und beidseits über Schrägflächen mit den Flanken verbunden ist. Die Angaben "innen" und "außen" sind hierbei vom fertig gebogenen Abstandhalterrahmen abgeleitet: Die Innenwand weist in das Innere der Isolierglasscheibe; die Außenwand weist in die entgegengesetzte Richtung. Bei dem anderen Typ, welcher ebenfalls gebräuchlich ist, stehen die zueinander parallen Flanken über die Innenwand vor, wobei der Abstand zwischen Innenwand und Außenwand in der Regel kleiner ist, als bei Kastenprofilen. Dieser Profiltyp, bei dem die Flanken über die Innenwand vorstehen, wird auch als Stegprofil bezeichnet. Stegprofile haben gegenüber Kastenprofilen den Vorteil, dass ihre Innenwand beim Biegen weniger stark verformt werden muss, weil sie näher bei der "neutralen Phase" liegt. Stegprofile werden meistens gebogen, nachdem sie mit einem körnigen Trockenmittel gefüllt sind, welches die Abstandhalterrahmen enthalten müssen, bevor sie in die Isolierglasscheibe eingebaut werden. Die Erfindung eignet sich besonders für das Biegen von Hohlprofilstäben, die noch leer sind, insbesondere für solche mit Kastenprofilen. Beim Biegen von Kastenprofilen hat sich ein Biegewiderlager bewährt, in welchem die Widerlagerteile in einem ersten Umfangsabschnitt eine überwiegend zylindrische Mantelfläche mit einem Radius von 2 mm bis 3 mm, insbesondere 2,5 mm haben.
One way to clamp the hollow profile bars is preferably also provided on the opposite side of the pivot axis, in the vicinity of the support, where preferably a rear jaw and a front jaw are provided, which are intended for clamping the flanks of the hollow profile bar, wherein the rear Jaws stationary and the front jaws to be designed to be displaceable. The rear jaw limits the pivoting movement of the bending cheek. In order to achieve large pivoting angles, it is preferably provided that the rear jaw and the counter-holder are wedge-shaped, wherein the wedge tip in each case points to the bending support bearing and the wedge surfaces are arranged and designed such that Finally, the wedge surface of the counter-holder by pivoting the counter-holder abuts the rear jaws and there finds its final position, wherein the stop is preferably flat. The wedge angle of the counter-holder and the rear jaw should be chosen so that they are together less than 50 °, in particular less than 30 °, so that correspondingly large bending angles that exceed 90 °, are possible.
For the production of spacer frames for insulating glass panes two types of hollow profile bars are common. Most often so-called box sections are used, in which the inner wall extends at right angles from mutually parallel flanks of the hollow profile bar and the outer wall runs in a central region parallel to the inner wall and is connected on both sides via inclined surfaces with the flanks. The indications "inside" and "outside" are here derived from the finished bent spacer frame: The inner wall faces into the interior of the insulating glass pane; the outer wall faces in the opposite direction. In the other type, which is also common, are the mutually parallel flanks on the inner wall, wherein the distance between the inner wall and the outer wall is usually smaller than in box sections. This type of profile, in which the flanks protrude beyond the inner wall, is also referred to as a bar profile. Bar profiles have the advantage over box profiles that their inner wall has to be less deformed during bending because it is closer to the "neutral phase". Bar profiles are usually bent after being filled with a granular desiccant, which the spacer frames must contain before being installed in the insulating glass pane. The invention is particularly suitable for bending hollow section bars that are still empty, especially for those with box sections. When bending box sections, a bending abutment has proven in which the abutment parts in a first peripheral portion have a predominantly cylindrical lateral surface with a radius of 2 mm to 3 mm, in particular 2.5 mm.

Damit das Biegewiderlager beim Biegen nur auf die Innenwand, nicht aber auf die Flanken des Hohlprofilstabes einwirkt, ist es an die Breite der Hohlprofilstäbe so anzupassen, dass seine Breite wenigstens um die doppelte Wandstärke der Hohlprofilstäbe kleiner ist als die Breite der Hohlprofilstäbe. Um das zu erreichen, ist der Abstand der beiden Biegewiderlagerteile voneinander veränderbar, wobei das hintere Biegewiderlagerteil zweckmäßigerweise nicht verschieblich angeordnet ist, sondern in der Flucht des hinteren Klemmbackens liegt, welcher sich in der Nachbarschaft der Stütze befindet. Das vordere Widerlagerteil ist hingegen in Richtung der Schwenkachse verstellbar, am besten durch Kopplung mit einem auf die vordere Flanke des Hohlprofilstabes zustellbaren Klemmbacken, so dass für das Verstellen des vorderen Biegewiderlagerteiles kein gesonderter Antrieb benötigt wird. Am besten koppelt man das Widerlager lösbar mit einer gesonderten Klemmeinrichtung, welche im unmittelbaren Bereich der Schwenkachse angeordnet ist und dort auf die Flanken des Hohlprofilstabes einwirkt. Eine solche gesonderte Klemmeinrichtung im Bereich der Schwenkachse ist besonders zweckmäßig, weil mit ihr ein Ausbeulen der Flanken im unmittelbaren Eckenbereich des zu biegenden Hohlprofilstabes vermieden werden kann, an einer Stelle, wo die Neigung zum Ausbeulen am größten ist. Diese gesonderte Klemmeinrichtung, wenigstens aber ihre die Klemmung bewegenden Backen, sind vorzugsweise mit dem Biegewiderlager oder mit der Biegewange verschwenkbar, um die Reibung zwischen den Backen und den Flanken des Hohlprofilstabes während des Biegevorganges möglichst gering zu halten.So that the bending abutment acts only on the inner wall, but not on the flanks of the hollow profile bar when bending, it is up to the width of the hollow profile bars adapted so that its width is at least twice the wall thickness of the hollow profile bars smaller than the width of the hollow profile bars. In order to achieve this, the distance between the two bending-resistant parts can be changed from one another, wherein the rear bending-resistant part is expediently not displaceably arranged, but lies in the alignment of the rear clamping jaw, which is located in the vicinity of the support. The front abutment part, however, is adjustable in the direction of the pivot axis, best by coupling with an undeliverable on the front edge of the hollow profile bar jaws, so that no separate drive is required for adjusting the front Biegewiderlagerteiles. Best coupled to the abutment detachably with a separate clamping device, which is arranged in the immediate region of the pivot axis and there acts on the flanks of the hollow profile bar. Such a separate clamping device in the region of the pivot axis is particularly useful because it can be avoided bulging of the flanks in the immediate corner region of the hollow profile bar to be bent, at a point where the tendency to bulge is greatest. This separate clamping device, but at least their jaws moving the clamping, are preferably pivotable with the flexural abutment or with the bending cheek to minimize the friction between the jaws and the flanks of the hollow profile bar during the bending process.

Die Verschwenkbarkeit des hinteren Backens, welche mit dem Biegewiderlager gekoppelt ist, erreicht man am einfachsten dadurch, dass es beim Verschwenken vom Biegewiderlager bzw. von dem Gegenhalter mitgenommen wird, an dem sich das Biegewiderlager befindet. Der zugehörige vordere Backen und das damit gekoppelte vordere Widerlagerteil können ebenfalls vom hinteren Widerlagerteil bzw. vom Gegenhalter mitgenommen werden, indem man diese durch einen Mitnehmer verbindet.The pivotability of the rear jaw, which is coupled to the bending abutment, is most easily achieved by the fact that it is taken during pivoting from the bending abutment or from the anvil, on which the bending abutment is located. The associated front jaw and the thus coupled front abutment part can also be taken from the rear abutment part or from the anvil by connecting them by a driver.

Als exzentrische Gestalt für die Widerlagerteile eignet sich besonders eine solche, bei welcher ein erster Umfangsabschnitt zylindrisch und ein zweiter Umfangsabschnitt flach, insbesondere eben oder sogar konkav ist, wobei das Maß, um welches die Hohlprofilstäbe durch Verschwenken des Biegewiderlagers freigegeben werden können, besonders groß ist, wenn beide Umfangsabschnitte auf ein und derselben Seite der Schwenkachse liegen.As an eccentric shape for the abutment parts is particularly suitable one in which a first peripheral portion is cylindrical and a second Circumferential section is flat, in particular flat or even concave, wherein the extent to which the hollow profile rods can be released by pivoting the bending spine, is particularly large when both peripheral portions lie on one and the same side of the pivot axis.

Vorzugsweise sind das Biegewiderlager und der Gegenhalter auswechselbar an einem verschwenkbaren Träger angebracht, um es im Falle von Verschleiß oder im Falle von Biegeaufgaben, für die ein anderes Biegewiderlager günstiger ist, austauschen zu können. Ein solcher anderer Anwendungsfall wäre z.B. das Biegen von bereits mit körnigem Trockenmittel gefüllten Stegprofilen, wofür ein ungeteiltes Biegewiderlager günstiger ist. Beim Biegen von ungefüllten Hohlprofilstäben erreicht man jedoch mit einem geteilten Biegewiderlager, dessen Widerlagerteile in der Nähe der Flanken der Hohlprofilstäbe auf die Innenwand des Profils einwirken, gute Ergebnisse.Preferably, the bending and abutment are interchangeably mounted on a pivotable carrier in order to replace it in case of wear or in the case of bending tasks for which another bending abutment is cheaper. Such another application would be e.g. the bending of already filled with granular desiccant bar profiles, for which an undivided bending brace is cheaper. When bending unfilled hollow profile bars, however, good results are achieved with a split bending abutment whose abutment parts act in the vicinity of the flanks of the hollow profile bars on the inner wall of the profile.

Eine Weiterbildung der Erfindung, die sich für einen schnellen Werkzeugwechsel eignet, ist Gegenstand der Ansprüche 14 und 18.A development of the invention, which is suitable for a quick tool change, is the subject matter of claims 14 and 18.

Die Erfindung eignet sich besonders für das Biegen von Hohlprofilstäben, die noch leer sind, insbesondere von Kastenprofilen.The invention is particularly suitable for the bending of hollow profile bars, which are still empty, in particular of box sections.

Figur 1 zeigt eine vereinfachte Gesamtdarstellung der Vorrichtung mit einem Gestell 1, mit einer von dem Gestell getragenen, nach hinten geneigten Stützwand 2, mit einer im unteren Bereich der Stützwand 2 vorgesehenen waagerechten Förderbahn 3, längs welcher zu biegende Hohlprofilstäbe in der Förderrichtung 4 einem Biegewerkzeug 5 zugeführt werden. Für den Vorschub der Hohlprofilstäbe ist eine Vorschubeinrichtung vorgesehen, welche im Ausführungsbeispiel vorzugsweise aus zwei endlosen, zueinander parallelen, synchron angetriebenen Zahnriemen 6 und 7 besteht, welche über Paare von Zahnrädern 8 und 9 sowie 8a und 9a geführt sind, von denen die vorderen Zahnräder 8, 8a angetrieben sind. Zur Anpassung an unterschiedliche Profilhöhen der Hohlprofilstäbe sind die Zahnriemen 6 und 7 in ihrem gegenseitigen Abstand veränderlich, insbesondere durch Verschieben des oberen Zahnriemens 7 zusammen mit seinen Zahnrädern 8 und 9. Entlang der Förderbahn 3 können weitere Werkzeuge angeordnet sein, insbesondere eine Säge zum Durchtrennen der Hohlprofilstäbe, eine Beschriftungseinrichtung zum Beschriften der Hohlprofilstäbe, und eine Verbindungseinrichtung zum Verbinden von aufeinanderfolgenden Abschnitten von Hohlprofilstäben. Eine solche Verbindungseinrichtung besteht beispielsweise aus einem stationären Klemmbackenpaar 10 und aus einem längs der Förderbahn 3 verschiebbaren Klemmbackenpaar 11. Zum Verbinden zweier aufeinanderfolgender Hohlprofilstäbe wird der vordere Hohlprofilstab nahe seinem hinteren Ende zwischen den stationären Klemmbacken 10 festgelegt und der nachfolgende Hohlprofilstab nahe seinem vorderen Ende zwischen den beweglichen Klemmbacken 11 festgelegt, wobei eines der beiden Enden einen Steckverbinder trägt, der durch Vorbewegen des zweiten Klemmbackenpaares 11 auch in das gegenüberliegende Ende des anderen Hohlprofilstabes geschoben wird.Figure 1 shows a simplified overall view of the device with a frame 1, with a supported by the frame, backwardly inclined support wall 2, with a provided in the lower region of the support wall 2 horizontal conveyor track 3, along which to be bent hollow profile bars in the conveying direction 4 a bending tool 5 are supplied. For the advancement of the hollow profile rods, a feed device is provided, which in the exemplary embodiment preferably consists of two endless, mutually parallel, synchronously driven toothed belts 6 and 7, which are guided over pairs of gears 8 and 9 and 8a and 9a, of which the front gears 8 , 8a are driven. To adapt to different profile heights of the hollow profile rods, the toothed belts 6 and 7 are variable in their mutual distance, in particular by moving the upper toothed belt 7 together with its gears 8 and 9. Along the conveyor track 3 further tools can be arranged, in particular a saw for cutting the Hollow profile bars, a labeling device for labeling the hollow profile bars, and a connecting device for connecting successive sections of hollow profile bars. Such a connection device consists for example of a stationary pair of jaws 10 and a movable along the conveyor track 3 jaw pair 11. To connect two consecutive hollow section bars of the front hollow section bar is fixed near its rear end between the stationary jaws 10 and the subsequent hollow profile bar near its front end between the fixed movable jaws 11, wherein one of the two ends carries a connector through Advancing the second jaw pair 11 is also pushed into the opposite end of the other hollow profile bar.

Die zu biegenden Schenkel der Hohlprofilstäbe werden in der dargestellten Vorrichtung, in welcher die Förderrichtung 4 von links nach rechts verläuft, entgegen dem Uhrzeigersinn gebogen, wobei sich die abgebogenen Schenkel auf der Stützwand 2 abstützen können und auf ihr geführt werden. Die Förderrichtung 4 von links nach rechts zu wählen, ist jedoch willkürlich, sie könnte auch von rechts nach links verlaufen; in diesem Fall würden die Hohlprofilstäbe im Uhrzeigersinn gebogen.The legs of the hollow profile bars to be bent are bent in the illustrated device, in which the conveying direction 4 extends from left to right, counterclockwise, wherein the bent legs can be supported on the support wall 2 and guided on it. However, choosing the direction of conveyance 4 from left to right is arbitrary; it could also be from right to left; In this case, the hollow profile bars would be bent clockwise.

Die Förderbahn 3 ist nicht als kontinuierlich durchgehende Bahn ausgebildet, sondern besteht aus einer Folge von teilweise unterschiedlichen Elementen, welche die Hohlprofilstäbe sowohl parallel zur Stützwand 2 als auch in einer dazu senkrechten Ebene unterstützen und führen und dabei eine geradlinige, waagerechte Bewegungsbahn der Hohlprofilstäbe erzwingen. Zu diesen Elementen, die die Bewegungsbahn der Hohlprofilstäbe festlegen, gehören unter anderem die Zahnriemen 6 und 7, die Klemmbackenpaare 10 und 11 und das Biegewerkzeug 5, welches in Figur 2 näher dargestellt ist.The conveyor track 3 is not formed as a continuous continuous track, but consists of a series of partially different elements which support the hollow profile bars both parallel to the support wall 2 and in a plane perpendicular thereto and enforce a straight, horizontal trajectory of the hollow profile bars. These elements, which define the path of movement of the hollow profile rods, include, among other things, the toothed belts 6 and 7, the pairs of clamping jaws 10 and 11 and the bending tool 5, which is shown in more detail in FIG.

Wesentliche Bestandteile des Biegewerkzeuges 5 sind eine Biegewange 12, ein mit ihr zusammenarbeitender Gegenhalter 13, ein Biegewiderlager 14 und eine Stütze 16, welche auf derselben Seite des Hohlprofilstabs 20 angeordnet ist, wie die Biegeanlage 12, und zwar bezogen auf die Förderrichtung 4 hinter der Biegewange. Diese Bestandteile sind in Figur 2 in einer Ansicht mit einer Blickrichtung senkrecht zur Stützfläche 2 dargestellt, von dem zweiteilig ausgebildeten Biegewiderlager 14 aber nur dessen erstes hinteres Widerlagerteil 14a.Essential components of the bending tool 5 are a bending beam 12, a cooperating with them counter-holder 13, a bending support 14 and a support 16 which is disposed on the same side of the hollow profile rod 20, such as the bending machine 12, based on the conveying direction 4 behind the bending cheek , These components are shown in Figure 2 in a view with a viewing direction perpendicular to the support surface 2, of the bipartite bending support bearing 14 but only the first rear abutment part 14a.

Sowohl die Biegewange 12 als auch ihr Gegenhalter 13 sind um eine bezüglich des Biegewiderlagers 14 exzentrisch liegende, zur Stützwand 2 rechtwinklig orientierte Schwenkachse 18 verschwenkbar. Zum Verschwenken der Biegewange 12 ist hinter der Ebene der Stützwand 2 vorzugsweise ein elektrischer Servomotor vorgesehen, welcher es gestattet, vorgegebene Schwenkwinkel besonders genau auszuführen. Es wäre aber auch möglich, die Biegewange 12 mittels eines pneumatischen Zylinders, insbesondere eines Drehflügelzylinders, zu verschwenken. Der Gegenhalter 13 hat keinen eigenen Schwenkantrieb, er wird von der Biegewange 12 mitgenommen, wenn diese in Richtung des Pfeiles 19 eine Schwenkbewegung vollführt. Dabei wird der Gegenhalter 13 gegen den an der Biegewange 12 liegenden Abschnitt des Hohlprofilstabes 20 gedrückt oder gezogen, vorzugsweise mittels eines Pneumatikzylinders, der in den Zeichnungen nicht dargestellt ist und dessen Widerstand von dem Antriebsmotor der Biegewange 12 überwunden wird. Die Folge davon ist, dass ein zu biegender Hohlprofilstab 20 während des Biegevorganges zwischen der Biegewange 12 und ihrem Gegenhalter 13 eingespannt ist. Um zu verhindern, dass der Gegenhalter 13 anschließend an die Nase 34 die Innenwand 23 des Hohlprofilstabs 20 eindrückt, kann zwischen der Biegewange 12 und dem Gegenhalter 13 ein Anschlag vorgesehen sein, der die Annäherung des Gegenhalters 13 an die Biegewange 12 auf ein mit der Höhe des Hohlprofilstabes 20 übereinstimmendes Maß begrenzt; ein socher Anschlag kann z.B. durch eine in den Gegenhalter 13 gedrehte und gegen die Biegewange 12 gerichtete Schraube gebildet sein.Both the bending beam 12 and its counter-holder 13 are pivotable about a relative to the bending deflection bearing 14 eccentrically lying, perpendicular to the support wall 2 pivot axis 18. For pivoting the bending beam 12, an electrical servomotor is preferably provided behind the plane of the support wall 2, which makes it possible to carry out predetermined pivoting angles particularly precisely. But it would also be possible to pivot the bending beam 12 by means of a pneumatic cylinder, in particular a rotary blade cylinder. The anvil 13 has no own pivot drive, it is taken from the bending beam 12 when it performs in the direction of arrow 19 pivotal movement. In this case, the counter-holder 13 is pressed or pulled against the lying on the bending beam 12 section of the hollow profile rod 20, preferably by means of a pneumatic cylinder, which is not shown in the drawings and whose resistance is overcome by the drive motor of the bending beam 12. The consequence of this is that a hollow profile rod 20 to be bent is clamped between the bending beam 12 and its counter-holder 13 during the bending process. In order to prevent the counter-holder 13 subsequently presses the inner wall 23 of the hollow profile bar 20 to the nose 34, a stop can be provided between the bending beam 12 and the anvil 13, the stop the approach of the counter-holder 13 to the bending beam 12 to a height the hollow profile bar 20 limits the same extent; Such a stop can be formed, for example, by a turned into the counter-holder 13 and directed against the bending beam 12 screw.

Bevor die Biegewange 12 in ihre in Figur 2 dargestellte Ausgangslage zurückgeschwenkt wird, kann der auf den Gegenhalter einwirkende Druckmittlzylinder drucklos gemacht werden, so dass der Gegenhalter in seiner Lage verharrt, oder der Druckmittelzylinder kann in seiner Wirkrichtung umgekehrt werden, so dass der Gegenhalter in seine in Figur 6 dargestellte Endstellung verschwenkt wird, in welcher das Biegewiderlager 14 den Hohlprofilstab 20 völlig freigegeben hat.Before the bending beam 12 is pivoted back into its initial position shown in Figure 2, the pressure acting on the counter-holder Druckmittlzylinder can be depressurized, so that the counter-holder remains in position, or the pressure cylinder can be reversed in its effective direction, so that the counter-holder in his 6 is pivoted in the end position shown in Figure 6, in which the bending support bearing 14 has the hollow profile bar 20 fully released.

Der Hohlprofilstab 20 wird dem Biegewerkzeug auf der Förderbahn 3 so zugeführt, dass seine Außenwand 21 nach unten weist und der Biegewange 12 anliegt, dass seine zueinander parallelen Flanken 22 parallel zur Stützwand 2 verlaufen und dass seine Innenwand 23 dem Gegenhalter 13 zugewandt ist. Bei den dargestellten Hohlprofilstäben 20 handelt es sich um Kastenprofile, für welche die Erfindung besonders geeignet ist. Sie eignet sich grundsätzlich aber auch für Stegprofile, wenn diese gebogen werden sollen, solange sie noch ungefüllt sind. Die Angaben "innen" und "außen" sind im Hinblick auf die zu biegende Ecke gewählt, welche eine Außenseite und eine Innenseite hat, so dass die "Innenwand" die Innenseite und die "Außenwand" die Außenseite der Ecke bildet.The hollow profile bar 20 is supplied to the bending tool on the conveyor track 3 so that its outer wall 21 faces downwards and the bending beam 12 abuts that its mutually parallel flanks 22 parallel to the support wall 2 and that its inner wall 23 faces the counter-holder 13. Both illustrated hollow profile rods 20 are box sections, for which the invention is particularly suitable. In principle, however, it is also suitable for bar profiles if they are to be bent while they are still unfilled. The indications "inside" and "outside" are chosen with regard to the corner to be bent, which has an outer side and an inner side, so that the "inner wall" forms the inner side and the "outer wall" the outer side of the corner.

Die Stütze 16 ist mittels eines nicht dargestellten Druckmittelzylinders mittels einer rechtwinklig zur Stützwand 2 verlaufenden Welle 25 verschwenkbar. Die Stütze 16 verhindert, dass der hintere Abschnitt des Hohlprofilstabs beim Biegen nicht ausgelenkt wird und unterstützt seine Führung beim Vorschub.The support 16 is pivotable by means of a pressure cylinder, not shown, by means of a shaft 25 extending at right angles to the support wall 2. The support 16 prevents the rear portion of the hollow profile bar from deflecting during flexing and aids in guiding it during feed.

Während des Vorschiebens des Hohlprofilstabes 20 kann die Stütze 16 aus der in Figur 2 dargestellten Stellung bei Bedarf etwas nach unten geschwenkt werden; die Biegewange 12 befindet sich in der in Figur 2 dargestellten Ausgangslage oder bei Bedarf in einer demgegenüber ein wenig nach unten geschwenkten Stellung; der Gegenhalter 13 befindet sich während des Vorschiebens des Hohlprofilstabes 20 bevorzugt in der in Figur 6 dargestellten Lage, in welcher das Biegewiderlager 14 seinen größtmöglichen Abstand von der Ebene 17 hat, in welcher die dem Hohlprofilstab 20 zugewandten Oberflächen der Stütze 16 und der Biegewange 12 in ihrer Ausgangslage miteinander fluchten. Unter diesen Bedingungen wird der Hohlprofilstab 20 durch seine Vorschubeinrichtung 6 bis 8 zwischen dem Biegewiderlager 14 und dem Gegenhalter 13 auf der einen Seite sowie der Stütze 16 und der Biegewange 12 auf der anderen Seite vorgeschoben.During the advancement of the hollow profile rod 20, the support 16 can be pivoted from the position shown in Figure 2, if necessary, something down; the bending beam 12 is in the starting position shown in Figure 2 or, if necessary, in a contrast, a little downwardly pivoted position; the anvil 13 is preferably located in the position shown in FIG. 6 during advancement of the hollow profile rod 20, in which the bending abutment 14 has its greatest possible distance from the plane 17, in which the hollow profile rod 20 facing surfaces of the support 16 and the bending beam 12 in their starting position aligned. Under these conditions, the hollow profile rod 20 is advanced by its feed device 6 to 8 between the bending support bearing 14 and the anvil 13 on one side and the support 16 and the bending beam 12 on the other side.

Der Hohlprofilstab 20 wird vorgeschoben, bis die Stelle, an welcher eine Ecke gebogen werden soll, das Biegewiderlager 14 erreicht. Die korrekte Position kann durch einen längs der Förderbahn 3 verschiebbaren Anschlag 27 (Figur 1) bestimmt werden, an welchem das vordere Ende des Hohlprofilstabes 20 anschlägt und stillgesetzt wird. Danach wird die Stütze 16, wenn sie sich noch nicht in der Ebene 17 befand, in diese hochgeschwenkt. Statt mit einem Anschlag 27 kann die korrekte Position aber auch softwaremäßig aus vorgegebenen Produktionsdaten und Vorschubdaten festgelegt werden.The hollow profile bar 20 is advanced until the point at which a corner is to be bent reaches the flexural deflector 14. The correct position can be determined by a displaceable along the conveyor track 3 stop 27 (Figure 1), on which the front end of the hollow section bar 20 abuts and is stopped. Thereafter, the support 16, if it was not yet in the plane 17, pivoted into this. Instead of a stop 27 can the correct position but also be determined by software from given production data and feed data.

Abstandhalterrahmen für Isolierglasscheiben benötigen überall, auch im Eckenbereich, ebene, zueinander parallele Flanken 22. Die Parallelität und Ebenheit darf durch das Biegen der Ecke nicht verloren gehen. Um ein Ausbeulen der Flanken 22 der Hohlprofilstäbe 20 beim Biegen zu vermeiden, werden sie an den Flanken 22 eingespannt. Die dafür vorgesehenen Mittel sind in der in Figur 3 dargestellten Draufsicht mit Blickrichtung parallel zur Stützfläche 2 dargestellt. Man sieht die Schwenkachse 18 und die Biegewange 12. An einer gestellfesten Montageplatte 30, durch welche eine Antriebswelle 31 für die Biegewange 12 hindurchführt, ist ein Träger 32 fest angebracht, welcher auswechselbar einen feststehenden Klemmbacken 33 trägt, welcher der hinteren Flanke des Hohlprofilstabes zugewandt ist, welcher in Figur 3 nicht dargestellt ist. In der Montageplatte 30 ist die Welle 25 gelagert, welche die Stütze 16 trägt und dreht. Die Welle 25 und eine zu ihr parallele Stange 24, welche eine Ausnehmung der Stütze 16 durchquert, tragen gemeinsam einen zweiten Klemmbacken 35, welcher in Figur 2 weggelassen ist und mittels eines nicht dargestellten Druckmittelzylinders quer verschieblich ist. Die Welle 25 und die Stange 24 sind zu diesem Zwecke in ihrer Längsrichtung verschiebbar, so dass der zweite Klemmbacken 35 in Richtung des Pfeiles 37 dem Klemmbacken 33 und damit dem davorliegenden Hohlprofilstab 20 angenähert werden kann. Der zweite Klemmbacken 35 trägt außerdem einen Backen 38 (Figur 3), welcher um die Schwenkachse 18 drehbar in einer Ausnehmung des zweiten Klemmbackens 35 gelagert ist. Der drehbare Backen 38 bildet zusammen mit einem der hinteren Flanke 22 des Hohlprofilstabes 20 zugewandten weiteren Backen 36, welcher ebenfalls um die Schwenkachse 18 drehbar an einem Fortsatz 12a der Biegewange 12 gelagert ist, eine zweite Klemmeinrichtung, mit welcher die Flanken 22 des Hohlprofilstabes in der unmittelbaren Umgebung der Schwenkachse 18 eingespannt werden können. Die Bakken 36 und 38 sind exzentrisch gelagert; sie erstrecken sich entlang des abzubiegenden Schenkels des Hohlprofilstabes 20 über eine größere Länge als entlang seines nicht abzubiegenden Schenkels. Der hintere Backen 36 wird von dem Gegenhalter 13 mitgenommen. Der vordere Backen 38 wird durch einen formschlüssigen Eingriff eines an dem Gegenhalter 13 vorgesehenen Mitnehmers 39 in eine Ausnehmung des vorderen Backens 38 von dem Gegenhalter 13 mitgenommen; der Eingriff ähnelt einer Schwalbenschwanzverbindung und bleibt verkürzt erhalten, wenn der vordere Backen 38 seinen Abstand von der Montagewand 30 vergrößert. Dadurch, dass sich die Backen 36 und 38 mit dem Gegenhalter 13 mitdrehen können und dieser von der Biegewange 12 mitgenommen werden kann, ist die Gefahr, dass sich durch das Einspannen des Hohlprofilstabes 20 an der Biegestelle Riefen in den Flanken 22 bilden oder die beim Biegen auftretende Materialdehnung unkontrolliert behindert wird, viel geringer als bei stillstehenden Backen.Spacer frames for insulating glass panes require flat, mutually parallel flanks 22 everywhere, even in the corner area. The parallelism and evenness must not be lost by bending the corner. In order to prevent bulging of the flanks 22 of the hollow profile rods 20 during bending, they are clamped on the flanks 22. The means provided for this purpose are shown in the plan view shown in FIG. 3 with a view parallel to the support surface 2. On a frame-fixed mounting plate 30, through which a drive shaft 31 passes for the bending beam 12, a support 32 is fixedly mounted, which interchangeably carries a fixed jaw 33, which faces the rear edge of the hollow profile bar , which is not shown in Figure 3. In the mounting plate 30, the shaft 25 is mounted, which carries the support 16 and rotates. The shaft 25 and a rod 24 parallel to it, which passes through a recess of the support 16, jointly carry a second jaw 35, which is omitted in Figure 2 and is transversely displaceable by means of a pressure medium cylinder, not shown. The shaft 25 and the rod 24 are displaced for this purpose in their longitudinal direction, so that the second jaw 35 in the direction of the arrow 37 can be approximated to the jaw 33 and thus the preceding hollow profile bar 20. The second jaw 35 also carries a jaw 38 (Figure 3), which is rotatably mounted about the pivot axis 18 in a recess of the second jaw 35. The rotatable jaw 38 forms together with one of the rear edge 22 of the hollow profile bar 20 facing further jaws 36, which is also rotatably mounted about the pivot axis 18 on an extension 12a of the bending beam 12, a second clamping device, with which the flanks 22 of the hollow profile bar in the can be clamped in the immediate vicinity of the pivot axis 18. The jaws 36 and 38 are eccentrically mounted; they extend along the leg of the hollow profile bar 20 to be bent over a greater length than along his unbendable thigh. The rear jaw 36 is taken by the anvil 13. The front jaw 38 is entrained by a positive engagement of a provided on the anvil 13 driver 39 in a recess of the front jaw 38 of the anvil 13; the engagement is similar to a dovetail connection and remains shortened as the front jaw 38 enlarges its distance from the mounting wall 30. The fact that the jaws 36 and 38 can rotate with the anvil 13 and this can be taken from the bending beam 12, the risk that form by clamping the hollow section bar 20 at the bending grooves in the flanks 22 or bending occurring material strain is uncontrollably hindered, much lower than stationary jaws.

Die Anordnung und Befestigung des hinteren, ersten Widerlagerteils 14a ist in den Figuren 2 und 6 dargestellt. Es ist mit zwei Schrauben 40 mit dem hinteren Backen 36 verschraubt, welcher seinerseits mit einem Zapfen 42a in eine Buchse 43a eingreift, welche gleichachsig mit der Antriebswelle 31 der Biegewange 12 angeordnet ist.The arrangement and attachment of the rear, first abutment part 14a is shown in Figures 2 and 6. It is screwed with two screws 40 with the rear jaw 36, which in turn engages with a pin 42a in a bushing 43a, which is arranged coaxially with the drive shaft 31 of the bending beam 12.

Das zweite, vordere Widerlagerteil 14b ist, wie man am besten anhand der Figur 5 erkennt, drehbar in einer Ausnehmung 41 des Klemmbackens 35 drehbar gelagert, wozu der vordere Backen 38 an seiner Rückseite einen Zapfen 42a hat, welcher in eine dazu passende Buchse 43a des Klemmbackens 35 eingreift. Um den vorderen Backen 38 unverlierbar in der Ausnehmung 41 des Klemmbackens 35 zu halten, ist die Ausnehmung 41 mit einem kreisbogenförmigen Hinterschnitt 44 versehen, in welche die Backe 38 mit einem entsprechend kreisbogenförmigen Vorsprung 45 eingreift, welcher sich ungefähr über einen Umfangswinkel von 180° erstreckt. Beim Biegevorgang wird der vordere Backen 38, bezogen auf die in Figur 5 dargestellte Ansicht, im Uhrzeigersinn gedreht, wodurch der Eingriff des kreisbogenförmigen Vorsprungs 45 in den kreisbogenförmigen Hinterschnitt 44 erhalten bleibt. Zum Auswechseln wird der vordere Backen 38 entgegen dem Uhrzeigersinn gedreht, wodurch der kreisbogenförmige Vorsprung 45 aus dem Hinterschnitt 44 herausgleiten kann. Solange die formschlüssige Verbindung zwischen dem vorderen Backen 38 und dem Klemmbacken 35 besteht, wird der vordere Backen 38 beim Verstellen des Klemmbackens 35 von diesem mitgenommen und in seine Klemmstellung am Hohlprofilstab bewegt oder aus der Klemmstellung herausbewegt.The second, front abutment part 14b is, as best seen in FIG. 5, rotatably mounted in a recess 41 of the clamping jaw 35, for which purpose the front jaw 38 has on its rear side a pin 42a, which in a matching bushing 43a of the Jaw 35 engages. In order to keep the front jaw 38 captive in the recess 41 of the jaw 35, the recess 41 is provided with an arcuate undercut 44 into which the jaw 38 engages with a corresponding circular arc-shaped projection 45, which extends approximately over a circumferential angle of 180 ° , In the bending process, the front jaw 38, based on the view shown in Figure 5, rotated in a clockwise direction, whereby the engagement of the circular arc-shaped projection 45 is maintained in the circular arc-shaped undercut 44. To replace the front jaw 38 against the Turned clockwise, whereby the circular arc-shaped projection 45 can slide out of the undercut 44. As long as the positive connection between the front jaw 38 and the jaws 35 is made, the front jaw 38 is taken during adjustment of the jaw 35 of this and moved into its clamping position on the hollow profile bar or moved out of the clamping position.

Mit zwei Schrauben 40 ist das vordere Biegewiderlager 14b mit dem vorderen Backen 38 verschraubt. Die dadurch gebildete Einheit hat eine Ausnehmung 47, in welche der Mitnehmer 39 formschlüssig eingreift. Auf diese Weise werden beide Widerlagerteile 14a und 14b zwangsläufig mit dem Gegenhalter 13 verschwenkt.With two screws 40, the front flexural damper 14b is bolted to the front jaw 38. The unit formed thereby has a recess 47, in which the driver 39 engages positively. In this way, both abutment parts 14a and 14b are forcibly pivoted to the counter-holder 13.

Figur 5 zeigt im Detail die Kontur der Nase 34 der Widerlagerteile 14a, 14b mit einem im wesentlichen zylindrischen ersten Umfangsabschnitt 26a und einem im wesentlichen ebenen zweiten Umfangsabschnitt 26b. Anhand der Figur 3 sieht man, dass die Nase 34 von dem Backen 38 einen Abstand einhält; dieser Abstand beträgt wenigstens die zweifache Wandstärke des Hohlprofilstabes, damit dieser durch den Umfangsabschnitt 26a eingedellt werden kann, ohne die Flanken 22 zu beschädigen.Figure 5 shows in detail the contour of the nose 34 of the abutment parts 14a, 14b with a substantially cylindrical first peripheral portion 26a and a substantially planar second peripheral portion 26b. With reference to FIG. 3, it can be seen that the nose 34 keeps a distance from the jaw 38; this distance is at least twice the wall thickness of the hollow profile bar, so that it can be dented by the peripheral portion 26 a, without damaging the flanks 22.

Zum Biegen wird der Hohlprofilstab 20 zwischen den verschiedenen Klemmeinrichtungen zunächst geklemmt. Danach kann durch Verschwenken der Biegewange 12 der Biegevorgang durchgeführt werden, wobei der größtmögliche Biegewinkel erreicht ist, wenn der Gegenhalter 13 am Klemmbacken 33 anschlägt. Um einen möglichst großen Schwenkwinkel zu ermöglichen, sind der Gegenhalter 13 und der Klemmbacken 33 keilförmig ausgebildet, wobei die Keilspitzen gegen das Biegewiderlager 14 gerichtet sind. Eine Schrägfläche 28 des Gegenhalters 13 und eine Schrägfläche 29 des Klemmbackens 33, welche auf der der Förderbahn 3 abgewandten Seite des Gegenhalters 13 bzw. der Klemmbacken 33 liegen, sind so angeordnet, dass der Gegenhalter 13 mit seiner Schrägfläche 28 vollflächig an der Schrägfläche 29 des Klemmbackens 33 anschlagen kann, siehe Figur 6. Dadurch sind Schwenkwinkel möglich, die wesentlich größer als 90° sind.
Das Biegewiderlager 14 hat einen ersten Umfangsabschnitt 26a mit einer im wesentlichen zylindrischen Mantelfläche und einen zweiten, abgeflachten Umfangsabschnitt 26b, welche beide auf derselben Seite der Schwenkachse 18 liegen. Vorzugsweise ist der Abstand des ersten Umfangsabschnittes 26a des Biegewiderlagers 14 von der Ebene 17, in welcher die dem Hohlprofilstab 20 zugewandten Oberflächen der Biegewange 12 und der Stütze 16 miteinander fluchten, etwas kleiner als die Höhe des Hohlprofilstabes 20, so dass dessen Innenwand 23 schon vor dem Biegevorgang eingedellt wird, nämlich dann, wenn der Gegenhalter 13 und/oder die Biegewange 12 in ihre in Figur 2 dargestellte Stellung geschwenkt werden. An genau dieser Stelle befindet sich dann das Zentrum der Biegestelle. Infolge der gewählten Anordnung und Gestalt des zweiten Umfangsabschnittes 26b des Biegewiderlagers 14 ist dessen Abstand von der Ebene 17 größer als der Abstand des ersten Umfangsabschnittes 26a, wenn sich der Gegenhalter 13 in der in Figur 6 dargestellten Anschlagstellung oder in deren Nähe befindet. Es sei noch darauf hingewiesen, dass die Umfangskontur für beide Widerlagerteile 14a und 14b gleich gewählt ist.
For bending, the hollow profile bar 20 is first clamped between the various clamping devices. Thereafter, by bending the bending beam 12 of the bending operation can be performed, wherein the maximum bending angle is reached when the anvil 13 abuts the jaw 33. In order to enable the largest possible pivoting angle, the counter-holder 13 and the clamping jaw 33 are wedge-shaped, wherein the wedge tips are directed against the flexural abutment 14. An inclined surface 28 of the counter-holder 13 and an inclined surface 29 of the clamping jaw 33, which lie on the side facing away from the conveyor track 3 of the counter-holder 13 and the jaws 33 are arranged so that the counter-holder 13 with its inclined surface 28th over the entire surface of the inclined surface 29 of the jaw 33 can strike, see Figure 6. As a result, pivoting angle are possible, which are substantially greater than 90 °.
The flexural deflector 14 has a first peripheral portion 26a with a substantially cylindrical lateral surface and a second, flattened peripheral portion 26b, both of which lie on the same side of the pivot axis 18. *** " Preferably, the distance of the first peripheral portion 26a of the bending support 14 from the plane 17, in which the hollow profile bar 20 facing surfaces of the bending beam 12 and the support 16 are aligned, slightly smaller than the height of the hollow profile rod 20, so that the inner wall 23 before is dented the bending process, namely, when the counter-holder 13 and / or the bending beam 12 are pivoted to its position shown in Figure 2. At this point is then the center of the bend. As a result of the selected arrangement and shape of the second peripheral portion 26b of the bending support 14 whose distance from the plane 17 is greater than the distance of the first peripheral portion 26a, when the anvil 13 is in the stop position shown in Figure 6 or in the vicinity. It should be noted that the circumferential contour is the same for both abutment parts 14a and 14b.

Beim Biegen verhindert die Stütze 16 ein Auslenken des dort, vor der Biegestelle, liegenden Abschnitts des Hohlprofilstabes 20. Um den Hohlprofilstab 20 nach dem Biegen einer Ecke weitertransportieren zu können, wird seine Klemmung gelöst, der auf den Gegenhalter 13 einwirkende Pneumatikzylinder drucklos gemacht oder in umgekehrter Richtung betätigt und die Biegewange12 durch ihren eigenen Antrieb in ihre Ausgangslage (Figur 2) zurückverschwenkt. Der Gegenhalter 13 hingegen wird zusammen mit dem zweiteiligen Biegewiderlager 14 bis zum Anschlag am Klemmteil 15 in die Gegenrichtung geschwenkt, wie in Figur 6 dargestellt. Der Hohlprofilstab 20 ist dann vom Eingriff des Biegewiderlagers 14 vollständig frei und kann in der Förderrichtung 4 vorgeschoben werden bis zu seiner nächsten Biegestelle, an welcher er in der beschriebenen Weise erneut eingespannt und darauffolgend gebogen werden kann. Das Lösen des Eingriffs des Biegewiderlagers vom Hohlprofilstab 20 erfolgt mit einfachsten Mittel und gewährleistet insbesondere, dass der Hohlprofilstab 20 beim Vorschieben an seiner Innenwand nicht berührt wird und dort keine Schleifspuren auftreten, die besonders bei lackierten Oberflächen störend wären, weil die Innenwand des Hohlprofilstabs später in der Isolierglasscheibe gut sichtbar ist.When bending the support 16 prevents deflection of there, in front of the bending point, lying portion of the hollow profile rod 20. In order to transport the hollow section bar 20 after bending a corner, its clamping is released, the depressurized on the counter-holder 13 pneumatic cylinder or in operated reverse direction and the bending beam 12 pivoted by their own drive back to their original position (Figure 2). The counter-holder 13, however, is pivoted together with the two-part Biegewiderlager 14 to the stop on the clamping member 15 in the opposite direction, as shown in Figure 6. The hollow profile rod 20 is then completely free from the engagement of the bending support 14 and can be advanced in the conveying direction 4 until its next bending point, where it again in the manner described can be clamped and then bent. The release of the engagement of the bending support from the hollow section bar 20 is carried out with the simplest means and in particular ensures that the hollow profile bar 20 is not touched when advancing on its inner wall and there are no grinding marks that would be annoying especially for painted surfaces, because the inner wall of the hollow profile bar later in the insulating glass pane is clearly visible.

Nach dem beschriebenen Lösen des gebogenen Hohlprofilstabs 20 aus dem Eingriff des Biegewiderlagers 14 kann dieser auch vollständig aus dem Bereich des Biegewerkzeugs herausgefördert werden, bedarfsweise nach Vergrößern des Abstandes der beiden Widerlagerteile 14a und 14b voneinander auf mehr als die Breite des Hohlprofilstabs 20.After the described release of the bent hollow profile rod 20 from the engagement of the bending support 14, this can also be completely conveyed out of the range of the bending tool, if necessary, after increasing the distance of the two abutment parts 14a and 14b from each other to more than the width of the hollow profile bar 20th

In der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung kann der Hohlprofilstab 20 zu beiden Seiten der Biegestelle eingespannt werden, bei Bedarf sogar allseitig. Dadurch kann auf die Außenwand 21 und auf die Flanken 22 beim Biegen ein wohldefinierter und -wenn gewünscht- auch ein größerer Zug ausgeübt werden als im Stand der Technik, was das Vermeiden einer Faltenbildung im Bereich der entstehenden Ecke begünstigt und die Qualität der Biegung steigert. Hinzu kommt noch die dreiseitige Einspannung im Biegebereich durch die Backen 36 und 38 sowie durch das Biegewiderlager 14. Dadurch erzielt man insgesamt eine unerreicht gleichmäßig aussehende, reproduzierbare, ansprechend aussehende Eckenausbildung beim Biegen von Hohlprofilstäben 20 zu Abstandhalterrahmen für Isolierglasscheiben.In the device according to the invention, the hollow profile rod 20 can be clamped on both sides of the bending point, if necessary even on all sides. As a result, a well-defined and-if desired-a greater tension can be exerted on the outer wall 21 and on the flanks 22 during bending than in the prior art, which promotes the avoidance of wrinkling in the region of the resulting corner and increases the quality of the bend. In addition, there is the three-sided restraint in the bending area by the jaws 36 and 38 and by the bending support bearing 14. This achieves a total unequaled uniform-looking, reproducible, appealing-looking corner training when bending hollow section bars 20 to spacer frame for insulating glass.

Der Gegenhalter 13 kann mitsamt dem Biegewiderlager 14 ausgewechselt werden und durch eine zum Biegen von mit Trockenmittel gefüllten Hohlprofilstäben besonderes geeignete Anordnung aus Gegenhalter, Biegewiderlager und einem der Stütze 16 gegenüberliegenden Klemmteil ersetzt werden, gegen welches die Stütze 16 den Hohlprofilstab 20 klemmen kann und in welchem das Biegewiderlager durch eine schamierartige Verbindung des Gegenhalters mit dem Klemmteil gebildet ist. Eine solche scharnierartige Ausbildung des Biegewiderlagers macht dieses trotz kleiner Abmessungen besonders widerstandsfähig gegen die beim Biegen von gefüllten Hohlprofilstäben auftretenden größeren Kräfte. Ein Beispiel eines solchen Biegewerkzeuges ist in der deutschen Patentanmeldung 101 38 345.2 offenbart. Zum Zweck des Austausches hat der Gegenhalter 13 an seinem der Schwenkachse 18 abgewandten Ende eine langlochartige Ausnehmung 46, welche zum Ende des Gegenhalters 13 hin offen ist. Im Gegenhalter 13 befindet sich darüberhinaus eine zur Schwenkachse 18 parallele Bohrung 48, welche zwischen der Ausnehmung 46 und dem Biegewiderlager 14 liegt. In einer Bohrung eines um die Schwenkachse 18 schwenkbaren Trägers 57 für den Gegenhalter 13 steckt ein Stift 49 und parallel dazu befindet sich in dem Träger 57 noch eine weitere achsparallele Bohrung 50, welche von dem Stift 49 einen Abstand hat, welcher dem Abstand der Bohrung 48 von der Ausnehmung 46 entspricht.The anvil 13 can be replaced together with the flexural abutment 14 and replaced by a filled with drying agent hollow profile rods special suitable arrangement of counter-holder, bending support and a support 16 opposite the clamping part, against which the support 16 can clamp the hollow section bar 20 and in which the flexural damper by a hinge-like connection of the counter-holder with the clamping part is formed. Such a hinge-like design of the bending support makes this despite small dimensions particularly resistant to the larger forces occurring during the bending of filled hollow profile bars. An example of such a bending tool is in German patent application 101 38 345.2 disclosed. For the purpose of replacement of the anvil 13 has at its end remote from the pivot axis 18 a slot-like recess 46 which is open towards the end of the counter-holder 13. In the counter-holder 13 is also a parallel to the pivot axis 18 bore 48, which lies between the recess 46 and the bending support bearing 14. In a bore of a pivotable about the pivot axis 18 support 57 for the anvil 13 is inserted a pin 49 and parallel thereto is in the support 57, a further axially parallel bore 50, which has a distance from the pin 49, which the distance of the bore 48th from the recess 46 corresponds.

In der Bohrung 50 steckt ein Verriegelungsstift 52, welcher durch ein federndes Druckstück 54 gegen ein Herausbewegen gesichert ist. Nach Lösen der Madenschraube 54 kann der Verriegelungsstift 52 herausgezogen und der Gegegenhalter 13 abenommen werden. Auf diese Weise ist ein blitzschneller Werkzeugwechsel möglich.In the bore 50 is a locking pin 52, which is secured by a resilient pressure piece 54 against moving out. After loosening the grub screw 54, the locking pin 52 can be pulled out and the Gegegenhalter 13 abenommen. In this way, a lightning-fast tool change is possible.
