[0063] In order to better explain the present invention for easy understanding, the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the attached drawings through specific implementation modes.

[0064] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , the present invention provides a pipe fitting 6 end full - circle equipment, including an operation panel 1, a lifting mechanism 2, a horizontal adjustment mechanism 3, a full - circle mechanism 4 and a rotating mechanism 5;

[0065] The lifting mechanism 2 is installed on the operation panel 1;

[0066] The horizontal adjustment mechanism 3 is installed on the lifting end of the lifting mechanism 2;

[0070] The female mold head 42 is fixedly installed on the base 41 and is arranged opposite to the male mold head 43. The gap between the male mold head 43 and the female mold head 42 is a full-circle gap;

[0071] The oil cylinder 44 is installed on one side of the base 41;

[0072] The rotating mechanism 5 is installed on the operation panel 1. The rotating mechanism 5 is used to fix and drive the pipe fitting 6 to rotate.

[0073] During use, the pipe fitting 6 is fixed in the rotating mechanism 5, and the center of the port of the pipe fitting 6 is made to coincide with the center of the rotating table 52. Then, with the cooperation of the lifting mechanism 2 and the horizontal adjustment mechanism 3, the full-circle mechanism 4 is moved to the port of the pipe fitting 6, and the pipe wall of the pipe fitting 6 enters the full-circle gap. The size of the full-circle gap is adjusted by the oil cylinder 44, so that the male mold head 43 and the female mold head 42 are closely attached to the inner and outer sides of the pipe wall of the pipe fitting 6.

Then, under the cooperation of the lifting mechanism 2 and the horizontal adjusting mechanism 3, the circularizing mechanism 4 is moved to the port of the pipe fitting 6, and the pipe wall of the pipe fitting 6 enters the circularizing gap. The size of the circularizing gap is adjusted by the hydraulic cylinder 44, so that the male mold head 43 and the female mold head 42 are closely attached to the inner and outer sides of the pipe wall of the pipe fitting 6. Under the rotation of the rotary table 52, the male mold head 43 and the female mold head 42 perform circularizing on the port of the pipe fitting 6, ensuring the roundness of the port of the pipe fitting 6, reducing the labor intensity of workers, and improving the production efficiency of the pipe fitting 6.
