[0006] As a preferred embodiment, the punch includes a blocking portion and an extension portion, the extension portion fits with the opening, the upper end of the extension portion extends horizontally outward to form the blocking portion, and a gap is left between the lower surface of the blocking portion and the upper surface of the upper clamp for the punch to press down, and the thickness of the gap is the maximum depth of the punch pressing down.

The pipe shaping tool of the utility model adopts a full covering method. The circular cavity of the pipe shaping tool is consistent with the surface of the pipe to be shaped, which limits the horizontal force of the workpiece and avoids the horizontal dimension out of tolerance caused by shaping.

[0023] Combination Figure 1 As shown, the pipe shaping tool of this embodiment includes an outer frame bracket 10, a clamping plate assembly 20, a punch 30, a gasket 60 and a jack 40;

[0024] Among them combined Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the clamping plate assembly 20 includes a lower clamping plate 22 and an upper clamping plate 21, and a bolt 27. The top surface of the lower clamping plate 22 is provided with a semicircular first arc groove 23, the bottom surface of the upper clamping plate 21 is provided with a semicircular second arc groove 24, and the top of the upper clamping plate 21 is provided with an opening 25 that passes through the top of the upper clamping plate 21 to the second arc groove 24. Figure 2 As shown, the lower clamping plate 22 and the upper clamping plate 21 are matched and fixed through the mounting holes 28 and the bolts 27 to form a circular cavity 26 for fitting with the outer wall of the pipe fitting, and the opening 25 is arranged at the top of the circular cavity 26;

[0025] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the punch 30 includes a blocking portion 32 and an extension portion 33, the extension portion 33 is matched with the opening 25, and the upper end of the extension portion 33 extends horizontally outward to form the blocking portion 32, and a groove 34 for placing the telescopic end of the jack 40 is provided in the middle of the top surface of the blocking portion 32 of the punch 30, and the groove 34 is matched with the shape of the telescopic end of the jack 40, and a gap 50 for pressing the punch 30 is reserved between the lower surface of the blocking portion 32 and the upper surface of the upper clamp 21, and the gasket 60 is arranged at the gap 50, and the difference in thickness between the gap 50 and the gasket 60 is the maximum depth of pressing of the punch 30, and the depth of pressing of the punch 30 is controlled by adjusting the thickness of the gasket 60.

[0026] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the outer frame bracket 10 is rectangular, the clamping plate assembly 20 is placed at the bottom of the outer frame bracket 10 , and the jack 40 is arranged at the top of the outer frame bracket 10 .

[0027] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the process of shaping a pipe using the pipe shaping tool of this embodiment is as follows:

[0028] First, assemble the pipe shaping tool of this embodiment, place the clamping plate assembly 20 in the outer frame bracket 10, install the punch 30 and the gasket 60, place the telescopic end of the jack 40 in the groove 34 of the punch 30, and fix the fixed end of the jack 40 to the outer frame bracket 10 by bolts;

[0029] Then the shaped portion of the pipe to be shaped is inserted into the circular cavity 26 of the clamp assembly 20, fixed with four bolts 27, the pipe is clamped, the punch 30 is inserted through the opening 25 and the gasket 60 is placed on the upper surface of the upper clamp 21;

[0030] Finally, align the pipe shaping tooling horizontally and place it. First, measure the size of the position where the inner hole of the workpiece to be shaped exceeds the tolerance. The size is measured in four directions with a micrometer. Start the jack 40. The jack 40 presses down to drive the punch 30 to press vertically, so that the punch 30 applies a downward force to the pipe fitting. The pressure of each downward pressure of the jack is an integer reading. After each downward pressure, the inner diameter size should be measured and compared with all previous sizes to determine the next pressure increment until the downward pressure size exceeds the target requirement, and the pressure is kept static for a certain period of time. During this period, the inner diameter size should be measured for a fixed period of time.

[0031] After standing for a certain period of time, the pressure should be removed to let the workpiece be in a natural state. The internal stress will cause the workpiece size to rebound. After rebounding, check whether the size can meet the target requirements. The natural state requirement is not less than 10 hours. If the workpiece size does not meet the target effect after inspection, it can be calibrated again, reducing the thickness of the gasket 60, increasing the depth of the punch 30, and completing the calibration again according to the calibration procedure until the rebound size meets the target requirements.
