Definitions

  • the present invention concerns an apparatus and a method for manufacturing metal cages for conical pillars, suitable to be used for the reinforcement of pillars of reinforced concrete for building use, for being inserted in the ground or for supporting other elements such as cables, light bodies and the like.
  • metal cages mainly of cylindrical shape are used, being made by a series of longitudinal iron bars at the outside of which a metal wire is wound in spiral on the same bars, according to a suitably predetermined pitch.
  • the longitudinal bars are uniformly distributed according to a suitable geometrical shape, usually cylindrical; nonetheless, examples of poles and pillars of different shapes are known, for example asymmetric, elliptic, prismatic and the like.
  • Patent EP0035477 discloses, for example, a machine for manufacturing cages by spiral winding comprising a drive flange and a revolving flange carried by a carriage which can move frontally to the drive head, both flanges being predisposed to support the longitudinal bars in predetermined positions.
  • the bars are driven in rotation by the above mentioned flanges, while the metal wire, unwound from a lateral coil and fed in longitudinal motion, progressively winds in spiral about the same bars.
  • the task of the present invention is that of solving the aforementioned problems, by devising an apparatus and a method which are able to manufacture in an easy way pillars of any shape, in particular either cylindrical or conical.
  • the apparatus comprises at least one first support head provided with support means for the bars, and at least one second support head, aligned with the above mentioned first support head, according to a longitudinal direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the conical cage to be manufactured, carrying mobile support means for the bars, operated by a radial handling unit.
  • first support head and the second support head are both provided with units revolving or rotatable about the same longitudinal axis, fixed to the longitudinal bars or relatively to the longitudinal bars.
  • first support head and the second support head are mobile relatively to one another in the above mentioned longitudinal direction, parallel to the longitudinal axis of the conical cage to be manufactured and cooperate with unwinding and union means, for example through welding, for fixing a metal wire unwound from a coil and wound in spiral about the above mentioned bars, in order to manufacture a metal cage of conical shape.
  • the second support head which carries the cited radial handling unit, can carry as well the cited union means, of the metal wire with the longitudinal bars for example through welding.
  • the second support head carrying the radial handling unit can be fixed.
  • the cage being manufactured is drawn by the first support head which, in this case, is mobile in a way both longitudinal and revolving relatively to the second fixed support head carrying also the cited union means.
  • the cited radial handling unit allows the radial displacement of the longitudinal bars, supported at respective portions of the first and of the second head, approaching or alternatively spacing them progressively in controlled way from the longitudinal axis of the conical cage to be manufactured, in suitable step relationship with the winding and fixing operations of the metal wire for the union of the same cage.
  • the radial handling unit for the bars is therefore associated with the second support head and, more precisely, it comprises a support framework for the bars, carrying the above mentioned support means for the bars, mobile, indeed, in radial direction.
  • the cited fixing means being suitable to carry out the union of the bars with the metal wire wound in spiral about them.
  • the above mentioned radial handling unit comprises as well an activation framework, for example having the shape of a crown coaxial with the cited support framework for the support sleeves of the bars, activation means of a differential rotation motion between the support framework and the activation framework and a kinematic chain suitable to produce the transformation of such differential rotation motion in a radial motion of the above mentioned mobile sleeves.
  • the cited kinematic chain connects the support framework, the activation framework and the mobile support means for the longitudinal bars, so that the differential rotation motion between the activation framework and the support framework can be transformed in a correspondent radial displacement of the mobile support means of the longitudinal bars, progressively arranging these latter according to a configuration converging or diverging with respect to the above mentioned longitudinal axis, that is a conical configuration according to the geometrical parameters of the project.
  • connection kinematic chain can comprise, according to the invention, a first kinematic couple, for the radial guide of the mobile support means for the bars, and at least one second kinematic couple, more precisely, of transformation of the relative rotation motion into a radial motion of the mobile support means, and thus for the supported longitudinal bars.
  • the support framework and the actuation framework respectively shape a disc for the support of the support means for the bars and an activation crown, arranged coaxial, both rotatable about the above mentioned longitudinal axis of the metal cage being manufactured.
  • the activation crown is housed substantially in the same support disc and is supported by it; therefore, it does not require a dedicated support structure.
  • the first kinematic couple is made, for each supported bar, through the sliding coupling of each support means of the bars, generally sleeve-shaped, into a slot of radial guide made on the support disc, in which each sleeve is inserted slidable.
  • the second kinematic couple preferably comprises gears transmission means, in particular, an internal toothing shaped by the above mentioned activation crown, engaged, for each supported bar, that is for each support means or sleeve, with a respective pinion member carried rotatable by the support framework.
  • the above mentioned kinematic chain can comprise as well, for each longitudinal bar, an angular transmission couple, for example through a conical couple, suitable to transmit the rotation motion from the pinion engaged on the internal toothing to a rotatable screw member, radially oriented with respect to the central rotation axis of the activation crown.
  • the kinematic chain continues with an end couple, for example helical, comprising the above mentioned screw member and a nut screw member fixed on a respective support sleeve for a longitudinal bar.
  • the above mentioned screw member is operated in axial rotation by the pinion member of the cited second kinematic couple.
  • the above mentioned axial rotation is then transformed in a radial shifting motion by the cited helical couple, thus creating a controlled radial displacement of the coupled nut screw member and thus of the sleeve which is fixed to it, slidable in the respective radial slot of the support disc.
  • the radial handling unit can be used also for manufacturing cylindrical cages, for prearranging in an easier way the bars at the working diameter.
  • the radial handling unit can be arranged also on further intermediate support heads, provided by the apparatus.
  • a feature of the apparatus is that of allowing to manufacture in an easy way conical cages, in which the reinforcement longitudinal bars are placed on a surface at least partially conical.
  • a specific feature of the apparatus is the fact that the activation means of the cited differential rotation motion can be arranged very advantageously, in fixed way on the fixed framework which carries the support framework and the activation framework.
  • the invention preferably provides that the support means for the bars of the first support head, preferably mobile in longitudinal shifting motion, carry out the dragging of the longitudinal bars.
  • the mobile sleeves can therefore radially shift to manufacture conical pillars having a specific shape and being able to be further oriented, for example by freely swinging of an angle sufficient to spontaneously adapt to the conical shape of the cage being manufactured.
  • journal boxes are rigidly constrained to the said kinematic chain, being arranged about the longitudinal rotation axis of the support head according to a cylindrical surface. Also in such case they allow to create the wished conical shape for the cage being manufactured, thanks to the fact that the bars can be oriented suitably according to the plays existing between the mechanical members and/or the own resilience of the bars.
  • the bars can be progressively approached or spaced apart with respect to the same longitudinal axis, starting form an initial configuration of maximum or minimum radius, respectively at the locking performed by the journal boxes or support means of the first support head. Thanks to the relative shift of the first support head and of the second support head, the so engaged bars are progressively arranged according to the desired conical surface.
  • a feature of the invention is that it allows to obtain in a very easy way the radial motion of the support means for the bars, which is necessary for the manufacturing of the conical cages, thanks to the use of an activation member of rotatable kind, arranged in fixed way, thus considerably easing the building of the machine. Thanks to such activation and thanks to the kinematic transformation performed by the cited kinematic couples, set between the support framework of the bars and the activation framework, it is possible to obtain the desired radial displacement for all the longitudinal bars provided in the project. According to an alternative embodiment of the invention, it is possible to provide that the cited differential motion between the above mentioned support framework and the above mentioned activation framework is of substantially axial kind.
  • the cited kinematic chain connects the support framework, the activation framework and the mobile support means for the longitudinal bars, so that the above mentioned substantially axial relative motion is transformed in a correspondent radial displacement of the mobile support means for the longitudinal bars, thus arranging progressively these latter according to a configuration converging to the cited longitudinal axis, that is a conical configuration according to the geometrical parameters of the project.
  • Such connection kinematic chain can comprise, according to the above mentioned embodiment, the first kinematic couple, of radial guide of the mobile support means for the bars, and the second kinematic couple, more precisely, of transformation of the cited substantially axial motion in a radial motion of the mobile support means, and therefore of the longitudinal supported bars.

  • the cited activation means being preferably an activation member of linear type, can be arranged at a peripheral portion of the said crowns and guided by suitable guide means, distributed peripherally at the above mentioned crowns.

  • radial slots made on the same support framework can be used instead of the guide pipe; inside the radial slots the mobile support means for the bars are slidable, articulated to the above mentioned connection rod, or to similar connection means.

  • one or more auxiliary supports 210 can be coupled with the central guide axis 330, for example radially shaped, suitable to support the free portions of the bars 3, in the forming step of the cage 2.
  • the first kinematic couple 420 of the kinematic chain 500 is made up of a plurality of radial openings made on the disc-shaped support framework 320. Therefore, the mobile sleeves 40 radially slide inside respective radial openings 420. As in the previously described embodiment, the mobile sleeves 40 are articulated to a connection rod 410 with the central sleeve 310 guided by the central axis 330. In such case, the second kinematic chain 430 of the kinematic chain 500, for the transformation of the axial motion of the central sleeve 310 in radial motions of the mobile sleeves 40 is thus obtained only through the articulation of the connection rod 410 with the same central sleeve 310.
