Integrated automatic molding equipment and molding method for three-way pipes

Abstract

The invention relates to integrated automatic molding equipment and molding method for three-way pipes, and belongs to the technical field of automatic machining. The molding equipment comprises a loading device, a flaring device, a molding device, a shifting system, and a subsequent processing device for non-axisymmetric processing of pipe fittings; the molding device comprises a molding clampingmold; the subsequent processing device comprises a clamping mold; the shifting system is used for clamping and shifting the pipe fittings clamped on the molding clamping mold onto the clamping mold and enabling the pipe fittings to at least locate in a clamping mold clamping state or a pipe clamp clamping mold of the shifting system in the whole process of shifting the pipe fittings from the molding device onto the subsequent processing device; and the clamping mold clamping state and the pipe clamp clamping state are both clamping states with positionable rotating angles of the pipe fittingsaround axes. Based on the cooperation between the shifting system and each function unit, the equipment can maintain the positioning precision of the pipe fittings in the molding process, and can bewidely applied to such manufacturing fields as aviation, refrigeration and vehicles.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of automatic processing equipment, and in particular to an integrated automatic molding equipment for a tee tube and a molding method suitable for the molding equipment. Background technique [0002] The applicant discloses an automatic processing equipment for three-way pipes in the patent document with the publication number CN104646559A, which specifically includes a frame, a flaring mechanism, a flattening forming mechanism, a feeding device, a discharging device, and a manipulator mechanism. The manipulator mechanism transports the workpiece from the feeding device to the flaring mechanism for the flaring mechanism to expand the workpiece, and then transports the workpiece from the flaring mechanism to the flattening forming mechanism for the flattening forming mechanism The workpiece is flattened and formed, and finally the formed workpiece is grabbed by the manipulator mechanism and placed in the unloading device to...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] After completing the flaring and flattening of the pipe fittings, it is usually followed by subsequent processing, such as bending, drawing holes, etc., or flattening the other end of the pipe. Processing etc. have position-directed operations, that is, non-axisymmetric processing operations, such as a pipe fitting processing and forming machine disclosed by the applicant in the patent document CN108043903A, which requires non-axisymmetric processing of the pipe fittings. As a result, the pipe fittings processed by the above-mentioned equipment need to be re-positioned for further processing after unloading, which not only has problems such as complicated positioning process, but also has problems such as low processing efficiency and difficulty in ensuring processing quality

[0005] In addition, the aforementioned three-way forming equipment still has the following problems. In the forming step, it needs to be flattened first and then internally press-formed, which makes the process more complicated, and there are fewer types of three-way pipe structures that can be formed.
