Abstract
Description
- The invention refers to a four-direction mechanism for iron concrete rod bending with cutting ability of the front and rear end.
- It is installed in special machines known as robotic machines for cutting and forming building steel (straightened rods or from coil) or in any other machine which executes the above-mentioned tasks and processes iron rods with various geometrical shapes.
- For many years, the productive procedure regarding cutting and forming of the iron concrete rod for the production of concrete reinforcement or any other type of iron rod, has been industrialized. Various "smart" machinery and mechanisms have replaced the -until then- manual labour and increased in a significant degree the productive abilities.
- Some of these machines are known as "cutting carriages for iron concrete rods" or "machinery for straightening, bending and cutting of iron concrete rods".
- These machines are also known as "robotic machines", manufactured with various abilities by various manufacturers and, in the past, the applicant has been awarded with patents for relative machinery inventions.
- The above-mentioned machinery consist of a set of separate mechanisms each one of which carries out the corresponding task and, as a whole, the final product is produced.
- Significant mechanisms by themselves, or as a part of a set of mechanisms, are the iron rod bending and cutting points.
- The already known machines have the ability, apart from cutting and bending the one side of the iron rod, to also cut and form the second side of the iron rod, something similar to the present invention.
- However, factors such as the great number of the independent mechanisms that execute each task phase have as a result the restriction of the cutting and forming speed as well as the wearing due to the many attachments participating in the procedure.
- The bending speed is lower in relation to the invention, for the reason that although for the first end of the rod is followed the same procedure, that is, propulsion, bending and propulsion, for the bending of the rear end, the bending plate -which has a formation pin- rotates by 180°, the iron rod is moved -via additional propulsive rolls that these machines are provided with-firstly forwards as far as the length of the side to be bended, the cutting is accomplished and then, the rod returns to the bending point or to the bending points for the realization of bending.
- This leads to the increase of the processing time and to the use of an additional roll system.
- The cutting of the bars is done with reciprocation, always on the same point without the ability of the rear end cutting, unless some additional specific movements of the iron rod are made.
- The bending and cutting system consists of two different mechanisms, which are of a higher manufacture cost and they demand more space coverage for the machine.
- Other manufacturers use various independent mechanims in order to achieve this result.
- The four-direction mechanism for iron concrete rod bending with cutting ability of the front and rear end is characterized by the fact that the processes of cutting and bending are executed by an integrated mechanism that performs a series of movements according to the commands given by the program of the machine.
- This integrated structure increases the formation speed and decreases considerably the manufacture and damage cost.
- During the bending phase of the front or the rear side of the iron rod, the cutting preceding the bending is realized via rotation of the cutting tool (immovable-movable point) while the whole mechanism can move and remain at any point of the rod that is about to be formed. The rod can be held in the formation canal via the cutting tool and the immovable formation point, so that during its movement or the movement of the formed shape, no any additional holding mechanism will be needed.
- For the bending of the rear part of the iron rod the entire mechanism for bending and cutting moves so far as the length of the bended part without any demand for an additional roll propulsion system. Moreover, since the bending plate has the ability to bend in four directions via the four formation pins (two at the front and two at the back), the procedure of rotating the formation plate by 180° is not needed.
- Each formation pin can also be used as an extractor, for the unblocking of the already formed shape out of the mechanism.
- This has as result the increased speed of the bending procedure, the decrease of the cost, since the manufacture of undependable mechanisms is avoided, and the damage reduction concerning spare parts used to wear out in particular.

- The four-direction mechanism for iron concrete rod bending with cutting ability of the front and rear end, according to claims 1 & 2 is characterized by the fact that it has two pairs of bending pins (5) which, by ascending in pairs above the rotating plate (1) and under the cross section point of the formed shape, they function as extractors of the formed shape.
- The four-direction mechanism for iron concrete rod bending with cutting ability of the front and rear end, according to claim 1 is characterized by the fact that internally of the rotating plate (1) it has the pierced base (2) with the cutting knives (20) and at its internal is adjusted the axle (4) with the openings for the steady point of cutting-holding.
As the base (2) ascends to the upper part and rotates rightwards or leftwards via the piston (13) it realizes the front or rear cutting of the iron rod. - The four-direction mechanism for iron concrete rod bending with cutting ability of the front and rear end, according to claims 1 & 4 is characterized by the fact that internally of the rotating plate (1) it has the pierced base (2) with the cutting knives (20) and at its internal is adjusted the axle (4) with the openings for the steady point of cutting-holding.
