Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of pipe fitting processing, and particularly relates to a clamping elbow processing device and a processing method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Clamping elbows are widely used in fields such as automobiles, heating, and water supply. Clamping elbows are usually used for the corner connection of two pipe fittings. There is a kind of clamping elbow, and its structure is as shown in the appendix Figure 24 As shown, this clamping elbow 102 is processed with a seamless steel pipe as the raw material. Before processing, the seamless steel pipe is cut into straight pipe segments of a fixed length as blank parts. Then, the operator needs to send the blank parts to a pipe bending device for pipe bending processing to bend the blank parts into the required angles. Since a seamless steel pipe is used as the raw material, there will be a weld 103 on the blank parts and the clamping elbow 102. When the blank parts are subjected to pipe bending processing, the inner side of the bend will be subjected to a large extrusion force, and the outer side of the bend will be subjected to a large tensile force. These two positions are the ones where the force is the greatest, and the weld position on the blank parts is the weakest position. When subjected to a large extrusion force and tensile force, the weld is prone to cracking. Therefore, when the operator feeds the pipe for bending, attention also needs to be paid to the weld position on the blank parts to avoid the weld 103 from being at these two positions, namely the outer side and the inner side of the bend.

[0003] In the production and processing of traditional clamping elbows, there are the following deficiencies: 1. The degree of automation is low and the labor cost is high; 2. When processing a clamping elbow with a small length-diameter ratio, since the overall length of the blank part is small, the effective clamping length of the blank part is short, resulting in the clamping die on the pipe bending device being unable to effectively clamp the blank part, with insufficient clamping force on the blank part. The blank part is prone to slipping with the clamping die during the bending process, resulting in processing failure and workpiece scrapping. Summary of the Invention

The first discharging manipulator is used to transfer the processed workpieces on the first pipe bending unit to the discharging conveyor line, and the second discharging manipulator is used to transfer the processed workpieces on the second pipe bending unit to the discharging conveyor line.

[0023] A processing method of a press-fit elbow processing device includes the following specific steps:

[0024] Step 1): Place the workpieces into the loading rack and discharge them one by one through the loading rack;

[0025] Step 2): After the workpieces are discharged from the loading rack, they enter the flaring processing unit. The two ends of the workpieces fall onto the inclined planes of the first inclined plane baffle member and the second inclined plane baffle member, and the workpieces roll down along the inclined planes until they stay at the workpiece staying positions. Then, the first rotary cylinder drives the rotating rod to rotate, so that the pressing rods at both ends of the rotating rod press the workpieces; then, the stamping oil cylinder drives the flaring punch to move, and the flaring punch performs flaring processing on one end of the workpiece to form a tapered structure at one end of the workpiece;

[0026] After the flaring processing is completed, the flaring punch and the pressing rods return to their original positions. The discharging air cylinder drives the discharging guide rod to rise, and the discharging guide rod lifts the workpiece. The workpiece rolls down along the discharging guide rod, so that the workpiece rolls onto the first supporting block and the second supporting block on the detection unit;

[0027] Step 3), after the photoelectric induction switch on the detection unit detects the presence of the workpiece, the second pushing cylinder drives the blanking block to move to the preset position, and the first pushing cylinder drives the first sliding seat to move, so that the clamping device presses against one end of the workpiece with a tapered opening structure, and the other end of the workpiece presses against the blanking block. Then the clamping device clamps one end of the workpiece; then the first motor drives the workpiece to rotate, and the visual detection device performs visual detection on the surface of the workpiece and searches for the position of the weld. When the position of the weld is detected, the workpiece is rotated to the bending angle position with the position of the weld as the reference; when the workpiece rotates to the bending angle position, the first motor stops, the clamping device releases the workpiece, and the first pushing cylinder and the second pushing cylinder return to their original positions. The workpiece is transferred to the inner wall oiling unit by the first material taking manipulator or the second material taking manipulator;

[0028] Step 4), the inner wall of the workpiece is oiled by the inner wall oiling unit; when oiling, first rotate the workpiece to a direction parallel to the extension rod by the first material taking manipulator or the second material taking manipulator, and make the end of the workpiece with the tapered opening structure face the oil injection head; first drive the extension rod to extend into the workpiece by the driving mechanism, and then drive the extension rod to withdraw from the workpiece; during the process of the extension rod extending into the workpiece, oil is injected into the inner wall of the workpiece through the oil injection head, and during the process of the extension rod withdrawing, the oil wiping ring spreads the oil on the inner wall evenly;

[0029] After the oiling is completed, the workpiece is transferred to the first bending unit by the first material taking manipulator or transferred to the second bending unit by the second material taking manipulator;

[0030] Step 5), the workpiece is bent by the first bending unit or the second bending unit; when bending, first place the workpiece between the fixed clamping die and the movable clamping die and between the fixed guiding die and the movable guiding die, and the tapered opening structure on the workpiece faces the front core rod; the workpiece is pre-clamped by the movable guiding die, the front core rod is driven by the transposition cylinder to move to a position facing the workpiece, and then the front core rod is inserted into the workpiece. The outer conical surface on the front core rod contacts the tapered opening structure on the workpiece, and the front core rod pushes the workpiece to move until the tapered opening structure on the workpiece contacts the inner conical surface on the fixed clamping die. Subsequently, the workpiece is clamped by the fixed guiding die and the movable guiding die; after the workpiece is clamped in place by the fixed guiding die and the movable guiding die, the front core rod withdraws from the workpiece;

[0031] The rear plug mandrel is inserted into the workpiece from the end far away from the tapered opening structure. After the rear plug mandrel is inserted in place, the movable clamping die and the fixed clamping die clamp the tapered end of the workpiece. At the same time, one end of the boosting sleeve is driven by the boosting cylinder and abuts against one end of the workpiece. Then, the swing arm component and the circular die rotate together, and the workpiece closely adheres to the circular die and bends until the workpiece is bent into the required angle. During the bending process of the workpiece, a fixed thrust is applied to one end of the workpiece through the boosting sleeve to reduce the resistance of the workpiece during bending.

[0032] When the bending of the workpiece is completed, the front plug mandrel is inserted into the workpiece again. Then, the movable clamping die and the fixed clamping die loosen the workpiece, and the transposition seat is driven to move horizontally by the transposition oil cylinder, so that the workpiece is horizontally separated from the circular die. Finally, the workpiece is grabbed by the first unloading manipulator or the second unloading manipulator and transferred to the unloading conveyor line.

[0033] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: When the pressing elbow is produced and processed by the present invention, steps such as feeding, flaring processing, weld position detection, inner wall oiling, pipe bending processing, and unloading can be automatically realized. The degree of automation is high, and no manual operation is required, which greatly improves the production efficiency. Before the pipe bending processing of the workpiece, flaring processing is first carried out at one end of the workpiece to form a tapered opening structure. When the pipe bending processing is carried out by the pipe bending unit, the tapered opening structure cooperates with the inner tapered surfaces on the fixed clamping die and the movable clamping die, and the tapered opening structure is used to limit and constrain one end of the workpiece. When the pipe bending processing of the pressing elbow with a small length-diameter ratio is carried out, due to the existence of the tapered opening structure, even if the effective clamping length of the workpiece is short, the workpiece will not slip with the clamping die during the bending process, thereby avoiding the scrapping of the workpiece caused by processing failure. Since the tapered opening structure is only used to assist the pipe bending processing of the workpiece, after the pipe bending processing of the workpiece is completed, only the tapered opening structure needs to be cut off to obtain the required pressing elbow product.

[0080] A processing method of a pressing elbow processing device includes the following specific steps:

[0081] Step 1): Place the workpiece 10 into the loading rack 2, and discharge the workpieces one by one through the loading rack 2.

[0082] Step 2): After the workpiece 10 is discharged from the loading rack 2, it enters the flaring processing unit 3. Both ends of the workpiece 10 fall onto the inclined surfaces of the first inclined baffle member 311 and the second inclined baffle member 313. The workpiece 10 rolls downward along the inclined surface until it stays at the workpiece staying position. The rotating rod 318 is driven to rotate by the first rotary cylinder 317, so that the pressure rods 319 at both ends of the rotating rod 318 press the workpiece 10; then the stamping oil cylinder 38 drives the flaring punch 39 to move, and the flaring punch 39 performs flaring processing on one end of the workpiece 10, so that a tapered opening structure 101 is formed at one end of the workpiece 10.

[0083] After the flaring processing is completed, the flaring punch 39 and the pressure rod 319 return to their original positions. The unloading cylinder 314 drives the unloading guide rod 315 to rise. The unloading guide rod 315 lifts the workpiece 10, and the workpiece 10 rolls downward along the unloading guide rod 315, so that the workpiece 10 rolls onto the first supporting block 49 and the second supporting block 411 on the detection unit 4.

[0084] Step 3): After the photoelectric induction switch 412 on the detection unit 4 detects the presence of the workpiece 10, the second pushing cylinder 413 drives the ejector block 414 to move to the preset position. The first pushing cylinder 47 drives the first sliding seat 43 to move, so that the clamping device 46 presses against one end of the workpiece 10 with the tapered opening structure 101, and the other end of the workpiece 10 presses against the ejector block 414. Then the clamping device 46 clamps one end of the workpiece 10; then the first motor 44 drives the workpiece 10 to rotate, and the visual detection device 415 performs visual detection on the surface of the workpiece 10 and locates the position of the weld. When the position of the weld is detected, the workpiece 10 is rotated to the bent pipe angle position with the position of the weld as the reference; when the workpiece 10 is rotated to the bent pipe angle position, the first motor 44 stops, the clamping device 46 releases the workpiece 10, the first pushing cylinder 47 and the second pushing cylinder 413 return to their original positions, and the workpiece 10 is transferred to the inner wall oiling unit 5 by the first picking manipulator 67 or the second picking manipulator 68.

[0085] Step 4): The inner wall of the workpiece 10 is oiled by the inner wall oiling unit 5; when oiling, first the workpiece 10 is rotated to a direction parallel to the extending rod 57 by the first picking manipulator 67 or the second picking manipulator 68, and the end of the workpiece 10 with the tapered opening structure 101 faces the oil injection head 58; first the driving mechanism drives the extending rod 57 to extend into the workpiece 10, and then the extending rod 57 is driven to withdraw from the workpiece 10; during the process of the extending rod 57 extending into the workpiece 10, the oil injection head 58 injects oil into the inner wall of the workpiece 10, and during the process of the extending rod 57 withdrawing, the oil wiping ring 59 spreads the oil on the inner wall evenly.

[0086] After the oiling is completed, the workpiece 10 is transferred to the first bending unit 7 by the first material taking manipulator 67 or the workpiece 10 is transferred to the second bending unit by the second material taking manipulator 68.

[0087] Step 5): The workpiece 10 is bent by the first bending unit 7 or the second bending unit; during the bending process, the workpiece 10 is first sent between the fixed clamping die 728 and the movable clamping die 75 and between the fixed guiding die 73 and the movable guiding die 74, and the tapered opening structure 101 on the workpiece 10 faces the front core rod 713; the workpiece 10 is pre-clamped by the movable guiding die 74, the front core rod 713 is driven by the transposition oil cylinder 715 to move to a position opposite to the workpiece 10, then the front core rod 713 is inserted into the workpiece 10, the outer tapered surface 727 on the front core rod 713 contacts the tapered opening structure 101 on the workpiece 10, and the workpiece 10 is pushed by the front core rod 713 to move until the tapered opening structure 101 on the workpiece 10 contacts the inner tapered surface 729 on the fixed clamping die 728, and then the workpiece 10 is clamped by the fixed guiding die 73 and the movable guiding die 74; after the workpiece 10 is clamped in place by the fixed guiding die 73 and the movable guiding die 74, the front core rod 713 withdraws from the workpiece 10;

[0088] The rear core rod 77 is inserted from one end of the workpiece 10 away from the tapered opening structure 101. After the rear core rod (77) is inserted in place, the movable clamping die (75) and the fixed clamping die (728) clamp the tapered end of the workpiece (10); at the same time, one end of the boosting sleeve 717 is driven by the boosting air cylinder 718 and abuts against one end of the workpiece 10; then the swing arm component 78 and the circular die 72 rotate together, and the workpiece 10 clings to the circular die 72 and bends until the workpiece 10 is bent into the required angle; during the bending process of the workpiece 10, a fixed thrust is applied to one end of the workpiece 10 through the boosting sleeve 717 to reduce the resistance of the workpiece 10 during bending;

[0089] In this step, when the movable guiding die 74 pre-clamps the workpiece 10, the workpiece 10 is clamped and restricted with a relatively small clamping force. When the workpiece 10 is subjected to the axial fixed thrust of the front core rod 713, the workpiece 10 can slide between the movable guiding die 74 and the fixed guiding die 73 to ensure that the tapered opening structure 101 on the workpiece 10 can move to contact the inner tapered surface 729 on the fixed clamping die 728;

[0090] When the bending of the workpiece 10 is completed, the front core rod 713 is inserted into the workpiece 10 again, then the movable clamping die 75 and the fixed clamping die 728 release the workpiece 10, the transposition seat 710 is driven by the transposition oil cylinder 715 to move horizontally, so that the workpiece 10 is horizontally separated from the circular die 72, and finally the workpiece 10 is grabbed by the first unloading manipulator 69 or the second unloading manipulator 610 and the workpiece 10 is transferred to the unloading conveyor line 9.

[0091] When the present invention is used for the production and processing of the pressed elbow, it can automatically realize steps such as feeding, flaring processing, weld position detection, inner wall oiling, elbow processing, unloading, etc. It has a high degree of automation and does not require manual operation, greatly improving the production efficiency.

[0092] Before the present invention performs elbow processing on the workpiece 10, it first performs flaring processing on one end of the workpiece 10 to form a tapered opening structure 101. When performing elbow processing through the elbow processing unit, the tapered opening structure 101 cooperates with the inner tapered surface 729 on the fixed clamping die 728 and the movable clamping die 75, and the tapered opening structure 101 is used to limit and constrain one end of the workpiece 10. When performing elbow processing on a pressed elbow with a small length-diameter ratio, due to the existence of the tapered opening structure 101, even if the effective clamping length of the workpiece 10 is short, the workpiece 10 will not slip with the clamping die during the bending process, thus avoiding workpiece scrapping caused by processing failure. Since the tapered opening structure 101 is only used to assist the elbow processing of the workpiece 10, after the elbow processing of the workpiece 10 is completed, only the tapered opening structure 101 needs to be cut off to obtain the required pressed elbow product.

[0093] The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned optimal implementation manner. Anyone can obtain other various forms of products under the inspiration of the present invention. However, no matter what changes are made in its shape or structure, as long as it has a technical solution identical or similar to the present application, it falls within the protection scope of the present invention.
