Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of nickel-titanium tube straightening, in particular to a nickel-titanium tube straightening device with a positioning function. Background Art

[0002] Titanium tubes are light in weight, high in strength and have excellent mechanical properties. They are widely used in heat exchange equipment, such as shell-and-tube heat exchangers, coil heat exchangers, serpentine heat exchangers, condensers, evaporators and transmission pipelines. Many nuclear power industries use titanium tubes as standard tubes for their units. Straightening is one of the important finishing processes to correct the shape defects of metal plastic processing products.

[0003] For example, in the large-diameter thin-walled nickel-titanium tube straightening device with publication number CN117161141A, when the two arc tubes are closed, the inner circumference fits the nickel-titanium tube, so that when the two arc tubes rotate, they can perform all-round straightening on the nickel-titanium tube, and the straightening effect is comprehensive, which effectively guarantees the quality of the nickel-titanium tube. When the two arc tubes are disassembled, it is convenient to clean the inner circumference of the arc tube, because when the arc tube is rubbing against the nickel-titanium tube in a high-temperature state during straightening, the inner circumference of the arc tube will absorb impurities generated by friction. If it is not cleaned for a long time, the inner circumference of the arc tube will be The unevenness will cause the arc tube to cause damage to the nickel-titanium tube. However, in actual use, if the nickel-titanium tube is long, it is not convenient to detect the bends of the tube during the straightening process, and it is not convenient to find the bends of the tube. In the process of straightening the tube, the bends of the tube cannot be marked. Deviations are likely to occur in the later straightening process, which will affect the accuracy of straightening. In addition, it is inconvenient to position tubes of different thicknesses during the straightening process, which will affect the accuracy of tube straightening. There are certain usage defects.

[0028] By adopting the above technical solution, it is convenient to position the pipeline and convenient to rotate the pipeline.

[0029] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: For the nickel-titanium tube straightening device with a positioning function, a straightening assembly is provided above the workbench, so that when straightening the nickel-titanium tube, the bending degree of the nickel-titanium tube can be detected, and the bending part of the pipeline can be marked during the detection process, which is convenient for subsequent straightening of the bending part, improving the accuracy and practicability of straightening.

[0030] 1. A straightening component is arranged above the workbench. When straightening a nickel-titanium tube, the tube is positioned by a positioning component. Then, the first electric push rod can be activated to drive the cylinder body to move downward, so that the spherical part contacts the tube. Then, the cylinder body continues to move downward, causing the sliding rod to slide in the cylinder body, compressing the telescopic spring, and then applying pressure to the pressure sensor through the push block. During the movement of the sliding rod, the L-shaped rod is driven to slide on the support block. Then, the top end of the L-shaped rod fits with the ball on the short rod. At this time, the downward movement of the cylinder body is stopped. The pressure of the sliding rod can be known through the reading of the pressure sensor. During subsequent detection, the cylinder body is moved so that the reading of the pressure sensor is equal to this time. Then, the moving frame can be moved through the electric slide rail, so that the spherical part rotates on the top of the tube. If the tube is bent, the sliding rod will move upward or downward under the action of the telescopic spring. At this time, the reading of the pressure sensor will change. The bending range of the tube can be detected through the movement of the moving frame. Then, the moving frame is moved to the middle of the bent part of the tube. Then, the tube is rotated. When the bending angle is upward after the tube rotates, it will push the sliding rod upward. After the sliding rod moves upward, it can push the short rod to rotate, causing the rotating shaft to rotate and driving the torsion spring to deform. After the rotating shaft rotates, the long rod pushes the moving plate upward. The rotation angles of the short rod and the long rod are the same. The rotation range of the long rod is much larger than that of the short rod. If the bending angle of the tube is small, the moving plate will also move upward a certain distance. Then, the movable rod can be driven to move on the tube body through the L-shaped frame, causing the piston to move upward inside the tube body and compressing the return spring. At this time, the first one-way valve inside the air inlet is closed, and the first one-way valve inside the connecting hose is opened. Then, the air inside the tube body can be pushed into the connecting hose. Then, when the piston moves downward under the action of the return spring, the first one-way valve inside the air inlet is opened, and the first one-way valve inside the connecting hose is closed. The air can be pumped into the tube body. The air is pushed into the accommodating cavity through the connecting hose. Pigment or ink is added to the accommodating cavity through the adding tube. The adding tube is sealed by the end cover. After the air enters the accommodating cavity, the inside of the accommodating cavity can be pressurized, so that the pigment inside the accommodating cavity enters the communicating pipe through the second one-way valve, and the pigment can fall on the spherical part. The rotation speed of the tube should not be too fast, so that the pigment is smeared on the outside of the tube along with the rotation of the spherical part, and the pigment will be smeared only when the tube is bent upward. Then, the bent part of the tube can be marked. Subsequently, the tube can be straightened by applying pressure to the marked part. Through the straightening component, when straightening the nickel-titanium tube, the bending degree of the nickel-titanium tube can be detected, and the bent part of the tube can be marked during the detection process, which is convenient for subsequent straightening of the bent part and improves the accuracy and practicability of straightening;

[0031] 2. When straightening the pipeline, move the moving frame according to the bending position of the pipeline so that the straightening plate is located above the marking point. Then, according to the bending range, start the driving motor to drive the bidirectional lead screw to rotate, so that the two movable seats can approach or move away simultaneously, making the two supporting seats move to the non-bent parts on both sides of the bottom of the pipeline. Drive the supporting seats to move upward through the second electric push rod so that the supporting seats are in contact with the pipeline. Subsequently, during the subsequent straightening process, the pipeline can be supported to prevent the pipeline from bending when pressure is applied to it. Start the hydraulic cylinder to drive the mounting frame to move downward, so that the mounting plate moves downward, making the straightening plate contact the pipeline. Then, the mounting plate continues to move downward, causing the moving rod to slide on the mounting plate. Furthermore, the arc-shaped plate can be pulled to rotate on the fixed frame through the connecting plate and the rubber rope. Then, make the baffle fit with the mounting plate, and apply pressure to the bent part of the pipeline through the straightening plate for straightening. During the straightening process of the pipeline, pressure can be applied to the upper part of the outside of the pipeline through the two arc-shaped plates to clamp the pipeline, preventing the pipeline from being deformed and damaged due to the small contact range between the straightening plate and the pipeline. Moreover, the rubber rope has a certain elasticity, and the two arc-shaped plates can adapt to pipelines of different sizes, facilitating the straightening of the pipeline and improving the practicability.

[0032] 3. When positioning the pipeline, place the pipeline on the tops of the two lower rotating wheels. Then, start the electric cylinder to drive the adjusting frame to move downward, so that the two upper rotating wheels position the top of the pipeline. Different-sized pipelines can be positioned through the two groups of rotating wheels. Then, start the rotating motor to drive the rotating wheel on one side of the lower part to rotate. Under the action of the connecting belt wheels, the rotating wheel on the other side of the lower part rotates, thereby driving the pipeline to rotate, facilitating the detection of the bent part of the pipeline. After the pipeline rotates, the pipeline can be positioned through the self-locking of the rotating motor. Thus, the pipeline can be positioned and it is convenient to rotate the pipeline, improving the practicability. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

And balls 218 are hinged to the ends of the short rod 216 and the long rod 217 away from the rotating shaft 215;

[0050] On one side of the bottom of the movable plate 203, an L-shaped plate 219 is fixedly installed. Above the side of the L-shaped plate 219 close to the cylinder 205, a movable plate 220 is fixedly installed. At the bottom of the movable plate 220, an L-shaped frame 221 is fixedly installed. At the same time, two groups of positioning blocks 222 are slidably connected to the outside of the L-shaped frame 221. And both positioning blocks 222 are fixedly connected to the L-shaped plate 219. Inside the lower part of the L-shaped plate 219, a pipe body 223 is fixedly installed. And a movable rod 224 is slidably connected to the lower part inside the pipe body 223;

[0051] A return spring 227 is sleeved below the outside of the movable rod 224, and both ends of the return spring 227 are fixedly connected to the pipe body 223 and the L-shaped plate 219 respectively. A piston 225 is fixedly installed at the top of the movable rod 224. At the same time, the piston 225 is slidably connected to the pipe body 223. An air inlet 226 is penetrated and opened above one side of the pipe body 223, and a through hole is penetrated and opened at one side of the bottom of the pipe body 223. The other side of the pipe body 223 is penetrated and connected with a hose 228. First one-way valves are arranged in both the air inlet 226 and the interior of the connecting hose 228;

[0052] An accommodation cavity 230 is opened above the spherical part 210 inside the sliding rod 206. An installation pipe 229 is penetrated and connected above the inside of the accommodation cavity 230 on one side of the sliding rod 206.

[0053] Example 1: As Figures 1 - 7As shown in the figure, a straightening component 2 is arranged above the workbench 1. When straightening a nickel-titanium tube, the pipeline is positioned by a positioning component 3. Then, the first electric push rod 202 can be started to drive the cylinder body 205 to move downward, so that the spherical part 210 contacts the pipeline. Then, the cylinder body 205 continues to move downward, so that the sliding rod 206 slides in the cylinder body 205, compressing the telescopic spring 207. Then, a pressure is applied to the pressure sensor 209 through the push block 208. During the movement of the sliding rod 206, the L-shaped rod 211 is driven to slide on the support block 212. Then, the top end of the L-shaped rod 211 is attached to the ball 218 on the short rod 216. At this time, the downward movement of the cylinder body 205 is stopped. The pressure of the sliding rod 206 can be known through the reading of the pressure sensor 209. During subsequent detection, the cylinder body 205 is moved so that the reading of the pressure sensor 209 is equal to this time. Then, the moving frame 201 can be moved through the electric slide rail 102, so that the spherical part 210 rotates on the top of the pipeline. If the pipeline is bent, the sliding rod 206 will move upward or downward under the action of the telescopic spring 207. At this time, the reading of the pressure sensor 209 will change. The bending range of the pipeline can be detected through the movement of the moving frame 201. Then, the moving frame 201 is moved to the middle of the bent part of the pipeline. Then, the pipeline is rotated. When the bending angle is upward after the pipeline rotates, it will push the sliding rod 206 upward. After the sliding rod 206 moves upward, it can push the short rod 216 to rotate, so that the rotating shaft 215 rotates and drives the torsion spring to deform. After the rotating shaft 215 rotates, the long rod 217 pushes the moving plate 220 upward. The rotation angles of the short rod 216 and the long rod 217 are the same. The rotation range of the long rod 217 is much larger than that of the short rod 216. If the bending angle of the pipeline is small, the moving plate 220 will also move upward a certain distance. Then, the L-shaped frame 221 can drive the movable rod 224 to move on the pipe body 223, so that the piston 225 moves upward inside the pipe body 223, and the return spring 227 can be compressed. At this time, the first one-way valve inside the air inlet 226 is closed, and the first one-way valve inside the connecting hose 228 is opened. Then, the air inside the pipe body 223 can be pushed into the connecting hose 228. Then, when the piston 225 moves downward under the action of the return spring 227, the first one-way valve inside the air inlet 226 is opened, and the first one-way valve inside the connecting hose 228 is closed. The air can be pumped into the pipe body 223. The air is pushed into the accommodating cavity 230 through the connecting hose 228. Pigment or ink is added to the accommodating cavity 230 through the adding pipe 232. The adding pipe 232 is sealed through the end cover. After the air enters the accommodating cavity 230, the inside of the accommodating cavity 230 can be pressurized, so that the pigment inside the accommodating cavity 230 enters the communicating pipe 231 through the second one-way valve, so that the pigment can fall on the spherical part 210. The rotation speed of the pipeline should not be too fast, so that the pigment is smeared on the outside of the pipeline as the spherical part 210 rotates, and the pigment will be smeared only when the pipeline is bent upward.Furthermore, the bent portions of the pipeline can be marked, and then pressure can be applied at the marked portions to straighten the pipeline. By means of the straightening assembly 2, when straightening the nickel-titanium tube, the bending degree of the nickel-titanium tube can be detected, and during the detection process, the bent portions of the pipeline can be marked, which facilitates the subsequent straightening of the bent portions and improves the accuracy and practicability of straightening.

[0059] The positioning assembly 3 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the top of the workbench 1;

[0060] The positioning assembly 3 includes two groups of vertical frames 301 symmetrically installed on the top of the workbench 1. Above each group of two vertical frames 301, there is an adjustment frame 302. Above the two vertical frames 301 and inside the adjustment frame 302, there are symmetrically rotatably connected runners 303. At the same time, a rotation motor 304 is fixedly installed above one side of one of the vertical frames 301. The output end of the rotation motor 304 passes through one side of the vertical frame 301 and is fixedly connected to the lower runner 303 on one side. One end of each of the two lower runners 303 passes through the other side of the vertical frame 301 through a rotating shaft and is fixedly installed with a connecting pulley 305. The two connecting pulleys 305 are rotationally connected by a belt. At the same time, a support plate 306 is fixedly installed on one side of the other vertical frame 301. An electric cylinder 307 is fixedly installed on the top of the support plate 306. The movable end of the electric cylinder 307 is fixedly connected to the adjustment frame 302. Inside the support plate 306, positioning rods 308 are symmetrically slidably connected on both sides of the electric cylinder 307. At the same time, the tops of the two positioning rods 308 are fixedly connected to the adjustment frame 302.

[0061] Embodiment 3: As Figure 1 and Figure 9As shown, when positioning the pipe, place the pipe on the tops of the two lower rotating wheels 303. Then, the electric cylinder 307 can be started to drive the adjusting frame 302 to move downward, so that the two upper rotating wheels 303 position the top of the pipe. Different-sized pipes can be positioned by the two groups of rotating wheels 303. Then, the rotating motor 304 can be started to drive the lower rotating wheel 303 on one side to rotate. Under the action of the connecting pulley 305, the lower rotating wheel 303 on the other side rotates, thereby driving the pipe to rotate, which is convenient for detecting the bent part of the pipe. After the pipe rotates, the pipe can be positioned by the self-locking of the rotating motor 304. Therefore, the pipe can be positioned and rotated conveniently, improving the practicability.

[0062] Working principle: When using the nickel-titanium pipe straightening device with a positioning function, first, according to Figures 1 - 9As shown, when straightening the nickel-titanium tube, the pipeline is positioned by the positioning component 3. After that, the first electric push rod 202 can be started to drive the cylinder body 205 to move downward, so that the spherical part 210 contacts the pipeline. Then, the cylinder body 205 continues to move downward, so that the sliding rod 206 slides in the cylinder body 205, compressing the telescopic spring 207, and then applying pressure to the pressure sensor 209 through the push block 208. During the movement of the sliding rod 206, the L-shaped rod 211 is driven to slide on the support block 212. Then, the top end of the L-shaped rod 211 is fitted with the ball 218 on the short rod 216. At this time, the downward movement of the cylinder body 205 is stopped, and the pressure of the sliding rod 206 can be known through the reading of the pressure sensor 209. During subsequent detection, the cylinder body 205 is moved so that the reading of the pressure sensor 209 is equal to this time. Then, the moving frame 201 can be moved through the electric slide rail 102, so that the spherical part 210 rotates on the top of the pipeline. If the pipeline is bent, the sliding rod 206 will move up or down under the action of the telescopic spring 207, and the reading of the pressure sensor 209 will change at this time. The bending range of the pipeline can be detected through the movement of the moving frame 201. Then, the moving frame 201 is moved to the middle of the bent part of the pipeline. Then, the pipeline is rotated. When the bending angle is upward after the pipeline rotates, it will push the sliding rod 206 upward. After the sliding rod 206 moves upward, it can push the short rod 216 to rotate, so that the rotating shaft 215 rotates and drives the torsion spring to deform. After the rotating shaft 215 rotates, the long rod 217 pushes the moving plate 220 upward. The short rod 216 and the long rod 217 rotate at the same angle, and the rotation range of the long rod 217 is much larger than that of the short rod 216. If the bending angle of the pipeline is small, the moving plate 220 will also move upward a certain distance. Then, the L-shaped frame 221 can drive the movable rod 224 to move on the pipe body 223, so that the piston 225 moves upward inside the pipe body 223, and the return spring 227 can be compressed. At this time, the first one-way valve inside the air inlet 226 is closed, and the first one-way valve inside the connecting hose 228 is opened. Then, the air inside the pipe body 223 can be pushed into the connecting hose 228. When the piston 225 moves downward under the action of the return spring 227, the first one-way valve inside the air inlet 226 is opened, and the first one-way valve inside the connecting hose 228 is closed. The air can be pumped into the pipe body 223. The air is pushed into the accommodating cavity 230 through the connecting hose 228. Pigment or ink is added to the accommodating cavity 230 through the adding pipe 232. The adding pipe 232 is sealed through the end cover. After the air enters the accommodating cavity 230, the inside of the accommodating cavity 230 can be pressurized, so that the pigment inside the accommodating cavity 230 enters the communicating pipe 231 through the second one-way valve, and the pigment can fall on the spherical part 210. The rotation speed of the pipeline should not be too fast, so that the pigment is smeared on the outside of the pipeline along with the rotation of the spherical part 210, and the pigment will be smeared only when the pipeline is bent upward. Then, the bent part of the pipeline can be marked.Subsequent pressure can be applied at the marked position to straighten the pipeline;

[0063] When straightening the pipeline, move the moving frame 201 according to the bending position of the pipeline so that the straightening plate 236 is located above the marked point. Then, according to the bending range, start the driving motor 246 to drive the bidirectional lead screw 245 to rotate, so that the two movable seats 247 can approach or move away simultaneously, causing the two support seats 251 to move to the non-bent parts on both sides of the bottom of the pipeline. Drive the support seats 251 to move upward through the second electric push rod 250 so that the support seats 251 are in contact with the pipeline. Subsequently, during straightening, the pipeline can be supported to prevent the pipeline from bending when pressure is applied to the pipeline. Start the hydraulic cylinder 233 to drive the mounting frame 234 to move downward, causing the mounting plate 235 to move downward, so that the straightening plate 236 is in contact with the pipeline. Then, the mounting plate 235 continues to move downward, causing the moving rod 237 to slide on the mounting plate 235. Furthermore, the arc plate 240 can be pulled to rotate on the fixed frame 239 through the connecting plate 241 and the rubber rope 242. Then, the baffle is attached to the mounting plate 235, and pressure is applied to the bent part of the pipeline through the straightening plate 236 for straightening. During the straightening process of the pipeline, pressure can be applied to the upper part of the outside of the pipeline through the two arc plates 240 to clamp the pipeline, preventing the pipeline from being deformed and damaged due to the small contact range between the straightening plate 236 and the pipeline. Moreover, the rubber rope 242 has a certain elasticity, and the two arc plates 240 can adapt to pipelines of different sizes, facilitating the straightening of the pipeline. When positioning the pipeline, place the pipeline on the tops of the two lower rollers 303. Then, start the electric cylinder 307 to drive the adjusting frame 302 to move downward, so that the two upper rollers 303 position the top of the pipeline. Different-sized pipelines can be positioned through the two groups of rollers 303. Then, start the rotating motor 304 to drive the lower roller 303 on one side to rotate. Under the action of the connecting pulley 305, the lower roller 303 on the other side rotates, thereby driving the pipeline to rotate, facilitating the detection of the bent part of the pipeline. After the pipeline rotates, the pipeline can be positioned through the self-locking of the rotating motor 304, thereby positioning the pipeline and facilitating the rotation of the pipeline.
