Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of pipe processing technology, and in particular to a U-tube forming machine. Background Technology
[0002] Small U-shaped tubes are used for connecting pipes. Traditional pipe bending equipment typically bends the tube first, then uses a saw blade to cut the top and bottom ends to make them flush. This process leaves debris and other impurities on the finished product, requiring cleaning and polluting the environment. To address this, existing technology proposes a pipe bending device using an internal cutting tool. In this device, one end of the tube is bent using a template, while the other end is cut without debris using an internal cutting tool, eliminating the need for tube cleaning. However, the different bending radii on both sides of the small U-shaped tube result in different stretching during bending. This leads to a severe bevel at the end of the tube that engages with the template, reducing product quality and increasing production costs. Summary of the Invention

[0036] Reference Figures 1 to 2 According to an embodiment of the present invention, a U-tube forming machine includes a frame 100, a first component, and a second component 300. The first component is disposed on the frame 100 and has a first clamping device 220 for clamping one end of a tube fitting 600. The second component 300 is disposed on the frame 100 and located on one side of the first component. The second component 300 includes a template 340 and a second clamping device 330 for clamping the other end of the tube fitting 600. The template 340 and the second clamping device 330 are configured to rotate relative to the first component, thereby allowing the template 340 to bend the tube fitting 600. During the bending process of the tube fitting 600, both ends of the tube fitting 600 are always clamped and fixed, and the stretching on both sides of the tube fitting 600 tends to be consistent, thereby avoiding or reducing the phenomenon of a bevel at the end of the tube fitting 600 that mates with the template 340, thereby improving product quality and reducing production costs.
[0037] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 5In some embodiments, the first component further includes a forming device 210 for bending the pipe fitting 600. The forming device 210 is mounted on the frame 100 and located between the first clamping device 220 and the second clamping device 330. Specifically, the forming device 210 includes a bending template 212 and a fixing member 211. The fixing member 211 is fixed to the frame 100, and the bending template 212 is mounted on the fixing member 211. The bending template 212 has a plurality of bending die arc surfaces 2121. The shape of the bending die arc surfaces 2121 is adapted to the shape of the U-shaped pipe bending portion for shaping when the pipe fitting 600 is bent. The bending die arc surfaces 2121 can be set as one or more, thereby enabling one or more pipe fittings 600 to be bent simultaneously.
[0038] Reference Figure 2 In some embodiments, the second component 300 further includes a first driving device 310 and a connecting plate 320. The first driving device 310 is mounted on the frame 100, and one end of the connecting plate 320 is connected to the first driving device 310 for transmission. A second clamping device 330 and a template 340 are mounted on the connecting plate 320. The first driving device 310 drives the connecting plate 320 to rotate relative to the first component, thereby causing the second clamping device 330 and the template 340 to rotate relative to the first component. Thus, the forming device 210 and the template 340 can be used to bend and form the pipe 600. The first driving device 310 can be configured as a motor or a hydraulic motor, etc.
[0039] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 In some embodiments, the second clamping device 330 includes a jaw 333, a sleeve 332, and a second driving device 331. The second driving device 331 is disposed on the connecting plate 320, the jaw 333 is mounted on the connecting plate 320, the sleeve 332 is connected to the second driving device 331 in a transmission manner, the sleeve 332 has a first through hole 3321, the jaw 333 has a second through hole 3331, one end of the jaw 333 has a clamping part 3332, the clamping part 3332 is configured as a round tube, a plurality of first notches are opened on the clamping part 3332, the clamping part 3332 is inserted into the first through hole 3321, and one end of the pipe 600 is inserted into the clamping part 3332. When the second driving device 331 drives the sleeve 332 to move to the clamping part 3332, the clamping part 3332 interferes with the sleeve 332. Because of the presence of the first notch, the clamping part 3332 can deform inward, thereby clamping the end of the pipe 600. When the second driving device 331 drives the sleeve 332 to leave the outer end of the clamping part 3332, the clamping part 3332 releases the pipe 600.
[0040] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 7 and Figure 8In some embodiments, to facilitate the installation of the second clamping device 330 and the template 340, the gripper 333 and the second driving device 331 are arranged in an upper and lower configuration. The second driving device 331 is a hydraulic drive device, which includes a cylinder 3311 and a piston 3312. The cylinder 3311 is mounted on the connecting plate 320, and the piston 3312 is mounted inside the cylinder 3311. One end of the gripper 333 is mounted on the upper side of the cylinder 3311 via a fixing seat 334. The clamping sleeve 332 is located on the upper side of the cylinder 3311 and connected to the piston 3312. The cylinder 3311 can drive the piston 3312 to move, thereby driving the clamping sleeve 332 to move. The template 340 is mounted on the cylinder 3311 and is located on one side of the gripper 333. Of course, those skilled in the art will understand that the second clamping device 330 can be configured in other ways. For example, the second driving device 331 can be driven by a cylinder or a motor, and the gripper 333 and the second driving device 331 can also be configured in a left-right layout. The specific configuration will not be described further.
[0041] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 In some embodiments, in order to improve the quality of the product, the second component 300 is also provided with a mandrel 350 to assist in bending the tube 600. The mandrel 350 passes through the second through hole 3331 and is then inserted into the tube 600. The connecting plate 320 is provided with a first moving mechanism 360. The first moving mechanism 360 has a first output end 362. The first output end 362 can slide relative to the connecting plate 320. One end of the mandrel 350 is installed on the first output end 362. Specifically, the first moving mechanism 360 includes a third driving device 361 and a first guide rail 363. The first output end 362 is configured as a sliding plate. The third driving device 361 and the first guide rail 363 are mounted on the connecting plate 320. The sliding plate is slidably connected to the first guide rail 363. The third driving device 361 is driven by the sliding plate. The mandrel 350 is mounted on the sliding plate through a fixing block. The third driving device 361 can drive the sliding plate to slide along the first guide rail 363, thereby moving the mandrel 350. When bending the tube 600, the mandrel 350 can be inserted into the tube 600. After the tube 600 is bent, the mandrel 350 can be pulled out from the tube 600. The third driving device 361 can be a hydraulic drive device or a moving motor, etc. The specific configuration will not be described further.
[0042] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 8In some embodiments, the cylinder 3311 of the second clamping device 330 is mounted on the first output end 362. Therefore, when the third drive device 361 drives the first output end 362 to slide, it can move the second clamping device 330 and the template 340. This arrangement allows for adjustment of the positions of the template 340 and the second clamping device 330, thereby changing the bending length of the pipe 600. Furthermore, after the pipe 600 is bent, the third drive device 361 drives the template 340 and the second clamping device 330 away from the pipe 600, causing the pipe 600 to disengage from the template 340 and the second clamping device 330.
[0043] Reference Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments, the first component further includes a cutting device 230 for cutting the pipe fitting 600.
[0044] Reference Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments, the cutting device 230 includes a fourth drive device 231, a knife holder 235, and an inner cutting blade 236. The fourth drive device 231 is mounted on the frame 100, the knife holder 235 is disposed on one side of the first clamping device 220, and the inner cutting blade 236 is disposed on the knife holder 235 and sleeved on the pipe fitting 600. The fourth drive device 231 can drive the knife holder 235 to drive the inner cutting blade 236 to cut the pipe fitting 600. The cutting device 230 uses the inner cutting blade 236 to perform chip-free cutting on one end of the pipe fitting 600, eliminating the need to clean the pipe fitting 600, generating less waste, and reducing the number of times the U-tube forming machine needs to be stopped to clean waste.
[0045] Reference Figure 3 In some embodiments, the cutting device 230 further includes a first connecting shaft 232, a second connecting shaft 234, and an eccentric device 233. The first connecting shaft 232 is connected to the fourth driving device 231. One end of the eccentric device 233 is connected to the first connecting shaft 232, and the other end of the eccentric device 233 is connected to one end of the second connecting shaft 234, causing the second connecting shaft 234 to rotate eccentrically relative to the first connecting shaft 232. The other end of the second connecting shaft 234 is connected to the knife holder 235. When the second connecting shaft 234 rotates eccentrically relative to the first connecting shaft 232, the blade of the inner cutting knife 236 can cut the pipe 600 through the drive of the knife holder 235. The fourth driving device 231 is configured as a first motor. Of course, it is understood that the fourth driving device 231 can also be configured as a hydraulic motor or other devices; the specific configuration will not be described further.
[0046] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4In some embodiments, the eccentric device 233 includes a sliding shaft 2331, a sliding block 2332, and a limiting block 2333. One end of the sliding block 2332 is connected to the first connecting shaft 232, and the other end is connected to the limiting block 2333. A third through hole 23321 is provided in the sliding block 2332. The sliding shaft 2331 is slidably disposed in the third through hole 23321. The limiting block 2333 is provided with a fourth through hole 23331. One end of the sliding shaft 2331 is provided with an interface 23311. The interface 23311 is inclined relative to the axis of the sliding shaft 2331. The interface 23311 can pass through the third through hole 23321 and the fourth through hole 23331. One end of the limiting block 2333 connected to the sliding block 2332 is provided with a groove 23332. One end of the second connecting shaft 234 is slidably disposed in the groove 23332 and is slidably inserted into the interface 23311.
[0047] Reference Figure 2 In some embodiments, to enable the sliding shaft 2331 to slide within the slide block 2332, the first component is further provided with a second moving mechanism 240. The second moving mechanism 240 is mounted on the frame 100 and can drive the sliding shaft 2331 to slide within the third through hole 23321. This, in turn, causes the second connecting shaft 234 to slide within the slide groove 23332 via the interface 23311, thus changing the eccentricity of the second connecting shaft 234 relative to the first connecting shaft 232. With this configuration, by changing the eccentricity, the inner cutting blade 236 can cut from the outer periphery of the pipe fitting 600 towards its inner wall.
[0048] Reference Figure 3In some embodiments, the second moving mechanism 240 includes a fifth driving device 241 and a connecting member 246. The fifth driving device 241 is mounted on the frame 100 and is connected to the connecting member 246 in a transmission manner. The connecting member 246 is slidably disposed on the frame 100, and both ends of the connecting member 246 are connected to a sliding shaft 2331. Thus, the fifth driving device 241 can drive the connecting member 246 and the sliding shaft 2331 to slide within the slide block 2332. Specifically, the fifth driving device 241 is configured as a second motor. The second motor has an output shaft, on which a gear 242 is fixed. A rack 243 is mounted on the connecting member 246, and the gear 242 and the rack 243 mesh and transmit power. A second guide rail 245 is also provided on the frame 100, on which a slider 244 is slidably disposed. The slider 244 is connected to the connecting member 246, thus the second motor can drive the connecting member 246 to slide. The connector 246 has a fifth through hole 2461, through which both ends of the connector 246 are fitted onto the eccentric device 233. A second notch 23322 is formed on the outer wall of the third through hole 23321 of the slide block 2332. A protrusion 23312 is provided on the sliding shaft 2331, which can slide within the second notch 23322. The protrusion 23312 is movably connected to the fifth through hole 2461, thus allowing the connector 246 to push the sliding shaft 2331 to slide via the protrusion 23312. By controlling the output shaft speed of the second motor, the rate of change of the eccentricity can be controlled, i.e., the feed speed of the inner cutter 236 can be controlled. This configuration allows for a smooth change of the eccentricity, i.e., a smooth feed of the inner cutter 236, preventing excessive wear of the inner cutter 236 and improving its service life. The second moving mechanism 240 can also be configured in other ways, such as by driving the connecting piece 246 through a cylinder or hydraulic drive device.
[0049] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, when the U-tube forming machine processes small U-tubes, if the length of the small tube is short, the tool holder 235 is positioned between the first clamping device 220 and the forming device 210. The positions of the template 340 and the second clamping device 330 are adjusted using the first moving mechanism 360 to change the length of the processed portion of the tube 600. Then, the tube 600 is bent and cut off using the cutting device 230, thereby obtaining a shorter small U-tube. Of course, it is understood that by changing the setting position of the tool holder 235 and adjusting the positions of the template 340 and the second clamping device 330, the U-tube forming machine can process U-tubes of different lengths.
[0050] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 6In some embodiments, the first clamping device 220 includes a first fixed clamping mold 224, a first movable clamping mold 223, a first mounting base 222, and a sixth driving device 221.

The first movable clamping mold 223 is movably disposed between the first fixed clamping mold 224 and the first mounting base 222. The sixth driving device 221 is fixed to the first mounting base 222. The sixth driving device 221 can drive the first movable clamping mold 223 to move towards the first fixed clamping mold 224, thereby clamping the pipe fitting 600 through the cooperation of the first fixed clamping mold 224 and the first movable clamping mold 223. The sixth driving device 221 can be a hydraulic drive device or a moving motor, etc. The specific configuration will not be described further.

The third clamping device 410 is slidably mounted on the frame 100 and located on one side of the first clamping device 220. The conveying pipes 421 are disposed between the third clamping device 410 and the first clamping device 220, and one end of the conveying pipe 421 is fixed to the frame 100 by a bracket 422. The seventh driving device 430 is drive-connected to the third clamping device 410. The third clamping device 410 clamps the pipe 600. The seventh driving device 430 can drive the third clamping device 410 to move toward the location of the cutting device 230. Then, the pipe 600 passes through the conveying pipes 421, the first clamping device 220, and other mechanisms in sequence to reach the second clamping device 330, completing the feeding process.
[0053] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 9 The third clamping device 410 has a similar structure to the first clamping device 220, including a second fixed clamping mold 414, a second movable clamping mold 413, a second mounting base 411 and an eighth driving device 412.
