Abstract

The invention discloses a 3D free-bending forming method and five-axis free bending device for metal pipes. The five-axis free bending device for the metal pipes comprises a pipe pushing module, a pipe axial-movement guiding module, a manipulator bending module, an induction coil heating module, a lubrication module, a reverse scanning module and a measurement module. The pipe pushing module comprises a conical push rod (3), a Z-direction servo motor (5), a ball screw (4) and a linear guide rail (1), and the Z-direction servo motor (5) is used for axial feeding of the pipes. The manipulator bending module comprises an X-direction servo motor (15), a Y-direction servo motor (16), a bending die driving servo motor (18), a bending die holder driving servo motor (17), a bending die (8) and a bending die holder (9). According to the 3D free-bending forming method and five-axis free bending device for the metal pipes, elbow pipes with different bending radii can be formed only by controlling the movement track of the manipulator bending device, and meanwhile since the plane of the bending die can be kept perpendicular to the axes of the pipes in real time, the forming quality of the bent pipes is good.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of advanced manufacturing of complex metal components, and in particular relates to a 3D free-bending forming method for metal pipes and five-axis free-bending equipment. Background technique [0002] At present, in the fields of aerospace, nuclear energy, and petrochemical engineering, there is a very important practical demand for planar or three-dimensional elbows with variable bending radii and axes that are plane or space curves. In the field of aerospace engineering, aerospace vehicles generally do not have large-sized hollow components due to weight and space constraints. For bent pipes, since the space configuration of complex bent pipes with variable bending radius, axis plane or space curve is more flexible, the space can be effectively used, making the overall structure of the assembly more compact. In addition, the use of the above complex configuration elbow can greatly reduce the weight of the...
