AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing metal conduit rolling machines suffer from problems such as complex spindle structure, short service life of rolling bars, large ellipticity of the processed profile, inability to process conduits with small bending radii, and inadequate rolling of weld seams in welded steel pipes.

Method used

A simplified roller head structure is adopted. By setting roller sliders and pushers on the roller head, the radial position of the roller is adjusted by pushing the mounting handle with the feed unit. Combined with the clamping unit and the rotating unit, the roller can be precisely adjusted, avoiding the complex spindle structure.

Benefits of technology

This allows for flexible adjustment of the roller position, improving the applicability of the rolling machine and the service life of the rollers, reducing wear on the inner cavity of the guide tube, and ensuring the precision and consistency of the processing.
