Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automated equipment for sleeve processing, and specifically to an automated equipment for processing copper tube coil springs. Background Technology

[0002] Some copper pipes in air conditioning systems require flaring or shrinking at the ends for easier welding. For shorter copper pipes, existing equipment only has the function of flaring or shrinking the pipe ends during the pipe end forming process. This requires manual labor to lift the pipe into a clamping mold using tools, then a clamping cylinder presses down to fix the pipe. Three shrinking molds or three flaring molds then push vertically upwards to flare or shrink the pipe. This manual processing method is inefficient and carries the risk of deformation over time, potentially leading to leaks. Utility Model Content
