[0004] When pipe fitting is bent, the operator needs to observe the appearance of pipe fitting, whether there is obvious bending error, and then use a size measuring tool to measure pipe fitting, and the unqualified pipe fitting is removed for re-bending. The operation is relatively cumbersome, the work efficiency is low, and therefore needs to be improved. SUMMARY
[0005] In order to improve the operation of removing the measured unqualified pipe fitting for reprocessing, which is relatively cumbersome and leads to low work efficiency, the present application provides an automatic pipe bending device.

The side of the mobile block close to the fixed block is detachably connected with the extrusion block. The copper pipe is located between the extrusion block and the forming block. The mobile block is driven by the telescopic cylinder to drive the extrusion block to extrude the copper pipe on the forming block, so as to regularize the copper pipe.
[0012] By adopting the above technical scheme, during work, the copper pipe is first placed in the pipe bender to be bent, so as to be bent into a specific shape. Then, the formed copper pipe is taken out from the pipe bender and placed on the workbench between the forming block and the extrusion block. The telescopic cylinder is started to drive the mobile block to move towards the fixed block. When the extrusion block abuts against the side wall of the copper pipe, the copper pipe is pushed to move until the copper pipe is pressed on the side wall of the forming block. At this time, the opposite sides of the copper pipe are extruded by the extrusion block and the forming block, so that the copper pipe is further constrained to play a regularizing role, that is, the bending angle error of the copper pipe is adjusted. Compared with the way of checking the bending error of the copper pipe by the operator, the copper pipe with error is sent into the pipe bender again to be bent. Through the extrusion of the extrusion block and the forming block, the detection of the copper pipe is more accurate, and the copper pipe with error can be immediately adjusted, so that the work efficiency is improved and the operation is more convenient.

[0070] When the extruding block 50 moves to be in abutment with the copper pipe, and the other side of the copper pipe also contacts the forming block 30, the sleeve 741 is moved to be close to the workbench 10, so that the moving gear 742 is re-inserted into the gear slot 7321, the teeth of the moving gear 742 are in abutment with the inner wall of the gear slot 7321, so that the sleeve 741 is fixed with the driven wheel 732 of the transmission belt 73, when the extruding block 50 starts to extrude the copper pipe, that is, the moving block 40 continues to drive the extruding block 50 to move, the transmission rack 71 drives the transmission gear 72 to rotate, drives the transmission belt 73 to move at the same time, so that the driven wheel 732 drives the sleeve 741 to rotate synchronously, so that the limiting rod 61 rotates around the central axis of the sleeve 741, so that the two limiting plates 62 are constantly close to each other, and the copper pipe is limited during the extrusion process.
[0071] With reference to Figure 2 and Figure 6When the bending point of the copper tube deviates from the perpendicular bisector of the line connecting the two limiting plates 62, or when multiple bending points are not symmetrical about the perpendicular bisector, that is, after the copper tube is bent, the distances from the two ends of the copper tube in the length direction to the center of the limiting rod 61 are not equal, essentially the copper tubes are of different shapes. In order to limit the copper tube, an adjustment component 80 is provided on the limiting plate 62. The adjustment assembly 80 includes an adjustment plate 81 and an adjustment rod 83. The adjustment plate 81 is located on the side of the limiting plate 62 near the center of the limiting rod 61. An extension plate 811 is formed on the side wall of the adjustment plate 81, and an adjustment block 82 is fixed on the side wall of the extension plate 811. An adjustment groove 621 is formed on the side wall of the limiting plate 62 along the length direction of the limiting rod 61. The adjustment block 82 is inserted into the adjustment groove 621 and can move in the adjustment groove 621. One end of the adjustment rod 83 passes through the limiting plate 62 and is inserted into the adjustment groove 621. The adjustment rod 83 is rotatably connected to the limiting plate 62. The adjustment block 82 is sleeved on the adjustment rod 83 and threadedly connected to the adjustment rod 83.
[0072] Rotating the adjusting rod 83 drives the adjusting block 82 to move within the adjusting groove 621, thereby causing the extension plate 811 to move the adjusting plate 81 until the adjusting plate 81 abuts against the end of the copper tube, thus limiting the position of copper tubes of different shapes. Similarly, the adjusting plate 81 can also fine-tune the position of the copper tube to compensate for the distance between the copper tube and the limiting plate 62 caused by manufacturing errors, increasing the accuracy of straightening the copper tube.
[0073] A support rod 140 is fixed on the top wall of the fixing block 20. The support rod 140 is vertically set, and a pressing plate 150 is sleeved on the support rod 140. The pressing plate 150 can move vertically on the support rod 140. A support spring is also sleeved on the support rod 140. One end of the support spring is fixed to the top of the support rod 140, and the other end abuts against the top wall of the pressing plate 150. When the copper tube is pressed onto the forming block 30 by the pressing block 50, the pressing plate 150 applies downward pressure to the copper tube under the action of the pressing spring 160, making it difficult for the copper tube to shift upward.
[0074] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 7 After the copper tubes are straightened, copper shavings are easily left between the extrusion block 50 and the forming block 30. In order to prevent the copper shavings from damaging the shape of the copper tubes, a blower 170 is fixed on the workbench 10. The air outlet of the blower 170 is aligned between the extrusion block 50 and the forming block 30. The workbench 10 is fixed with a connection by bolts. The output end of the motor 180 is also aligned between the extrusion block 50 and the forming block 30, and the output end of the motor 180 is set opposite to the air outlet of the blower 170.
[0075] Reference Figure 7A cleaning assembly 90 is arranged on the pressing plate 150, and the cleaning assembly 90 comprises a sliding rod 91, a mounting rod 92 and a brush 93. The sliding rod 91 is inserted into the pressing plate 150 and is movable on the pressing plate 150. The sliding rod 91 is arranged along the length direction of the limiting rod 61. One end of the sliding rod 91 extends out of the pressing plate 150 and is fixed with a connecting rod 911 which is perpendicular to the sliding rod 91. The mounting rod 92 is connected to one end of the connecting rod 911 away from the sliding rod 91. The mounting rod 92 is perpendicular to the connecting rod 911 and parallel to the sliding rod 91. The brush 93 is wrapped on the mounting rod 92 and can contact the side of the extrusion block 50 and the forming block 30 which are close to each other. One end of the mounting rod 92 extends to the direction of the motor 180 and is integrally formed with a rotating plate 921 on the extended section. The rotating plate 921 is perpendicular to the mounting rod 92. A counterweight is fixed to the side of the rotating plate 921 away from the mounting plate. The rotating plate 921 is always vertically downward under the action of no external force. A circular roller 190 is coaxially fixed to the output end of the motor 180. A plurality of pushing rods 191 are uniformly arranged on the circumferential side wall of the circular roller 190. The rotating plate 921 can be inserted between adjacent pushing rods 191.
[0076] When the copper pipe is finished, copper scraps are easily left between the extrusion block 50 and the forming block 30. At this time, the motor 180 is started to drive the fan 170 to rotate, so as to generate airflow to blow the extrusion block 50 and the forming block 30, thereby blowing the copper scraps away from the extrusion block 50 and the forming block 30, achieving cleaning and not damaging the subsequent extruded copper pipe.
[0077] Referring to Figure 7 In the initial state, the mounting rod 92 is above the pressing plate 150. When it is necessary to clean the extrusion block 50 and the forming block 30, the sliding rod 91 is moved on the pressing plate 150 along the length direction of the sliding rod 91 until the mounting rod 92 moves out of the upper area of the pressing plate 150. Then, the sliding rod 91 is rotated to drive the mounting rod 92 to rotate about the central axis of the sliding rod 91. After the connecting rod 911 is rotated by 180°, the sliding rod 91 is inserted back into the pressing plate 150, so that the mounting rod 92 drives the brush 93 to move to the lower side of the pressing plate 150, and the brush 93 abuts against the side wall of the extrusion block 50 and the forming block 30 which are close to each other.
[0078] In order to improve the cleaning effect, the motor 180 can be started. The motor 180 drives the circular roller 190 to drive the pushing rods 191 to rotate about the central axis of the circular roller 190. When the pushing rods 191 abut against the rotating plate 921, the rotating plate 921 is pushed to move, so that the mounting rod 92 drives the brush 93 to rotate about the central axis of the mounting rod 92. In the moving process of the brush 93, the extrusion block 50 and the forming block 30 are cleaned, and the copper scraps stuck in the recesses of the extrusion block 50 and the forming block 30 are cleaned, so that the cleaning effect is good.
[0079] The implementation principle of the automatic pipe bending device is as follows: when in use, the formed copper pipe is taken out from the pipe bender 110, placed on the workbench 10 between the forming block 30 and the extrusion block 50, the telescopic cylinder 120 is started, the moving block 40 is driven to move towards the fixed block 20, the extrusion block 50 abuts against the side wall of the copper pipe, thereby pushing the copper pipe to move, until the copper pipe is pressed on the side wall of the forming block 30, at this time, the opposite sides of the copper pipe are extruded by the extrusion block 50 and the forming block 30, thereby further restraining the copper pipe, playing a regularizing role, that is, adjusting the angle error of the copper pipe bending, compared with the way of checking the bending error of the copper pipe by the operator, the copper pipe with error is sent into the pipe bender 110 again for bending, through the extrusion of the extrusion block 50 and the forming block 30, the detection of the copper pipe is more accurate, and the copper pipe with error can be adjusted immediately, thereby improving the work efficiency and making the operation more convenient.
[0080] The above are preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present application, therefore: any equivalent changes made on the structure, shape, principle of the present application shall be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
