[0018] a gear set having one end in meshing transmission connection with the rack and the other end in transmission connection with the driving wheel.

[0019] Further, the gear set comprises,

[0020] a first bevel gear set comprising a first bevel gear and a second bevel gear, the two bevel gears being in meshing transmission, and the first bevel gear being connected with a driven gear matched with the rack through a transmission shaft;

[0029] Further, the plurality of pressing heads are driven to move along the radial direction of the ring pressing cylinder head, and the plurality of thickness detection probes are controlled to operate;

[0030] The plurality of pressing heads are driven to move reversely along the radial direction of the ring pressing cylinder head, and the plurality of ultrasonic probes are controlled to operate.

[0031] After the above technical scheme is adopted, the present application has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art.

[0032] (1) The present application is provided with a rotating ring rotating along the center of the ring pressing cylinder head, and a plurality of thickness detection probes are arranged on the rotating ring. During the radial movement of the pressing heads, the rotating ring can rotate along the center of the ring pressing cylinder head, and the plurality of thickness detection probes rotate accordingly, with an enclosed angle of at least one full circle. Therefore, it can be determined whether the stainless steel pipe after crimping operation is qualified, and the detection efficiency is improved.

[0033] (2) The present application is provided with a rotating ring rotatingly connected with the ring pressing cylinder head, and a connecting structure is arranged on the side wall of the ring pressing cylinder head. Through the linkage of the connecting structure, the pressing head can automatically rotate with the rotating ring when moving along the radial direction. Therefore, the thickness detection probes arranged on the rotating ring can detect the thickness change and state of the stainless steel pipe in real time, so as to determine whether the two stainless steel pipes meet the thickness requirement after crimping.

[0034] (3) The present application is provided with a driving part in the form of a driving wheel, which is in point contact with the outer periphery of the rotating ring. Therefore, the rotating ring can be driven to rotate by the driving part through friction. Alternatively, the outer periphery of the driving wheel is provided with a first outer gear ring, and the outer periphery of the rotating ring is provided with a second outer gear ring matched with the first outer gear ring. Through the meshing action of the first outer gear ring and the second outer gear ring, the driving wheel can drive the rotating wheel to rotate more stably, avoiding the occurrence of slipping.

[0035] (4) By setting up a first bevel gear set and a second bevel gear set, and the number of teeth of the third bevel gear in the second bevel gear set being greater than the number of teeth of the fourth bevel gear, the bevel gear transmission is more stable. When the third bevel gear is transmitting to the fourth bevel gear, it can drive the fourth bevel gear to rotate rapidly, thereby allowing the drive wheel to rotate at a greater angle. Thus, the limited transmission distance between the rack on the trigger rod and the driven gear can be amplified, thereby ensuring that when the multiple thickness detection probes rotate with the rotating ring, the sum of their overall rotation angles is a complete circle.

[0036] (5) This invention controls the operation of multiple thickness detection probes by driving multiple pressure heads to move radially along the ring pressing cylinder head; it also controls the operation of multiple ultrasonic probes by driving multiple pressure heads to move in the opposite direction along the ring pressing cylinder head. The back-and-forth radial movement of the pressure heads controls different probes to work, thus making the division of labor clearer and the detection results more accurate. After the pressing is completed, the ultrasonic probe is used for detection. The internal deformation has been fixed, thus the detection results are more accurate.

[0053] The conventional ring pressing connecting device needs to be manually detected by a technician through a caliper after the stainless steel pipe is pressed to check whether the size after pressing is qualified. In the continuous production process of the factory, each stainless steel pipe after pressing cannot be detected, the detection strength is large, and the efficiency is poor.

[0054] In order to overcome the defects existing in the above, the application makes corresponding improvements:

[0055] The rotating ring 4 is arranged in the ring pressing cylinder head 8 with the center of the ring pressing cylinder head 8 as the axis,

[0056] The plurality of thickness detection probes 6 are arranged on the peripheral wall of the rotating ring 4, the rotating ring 4 is driven to rotate when the pressing heads 81 press the stainless steel pipe, and the rotating path of the plurality of thickness detection probes 6 is at least one circumference.

[0057] In the application, the rotating ring 4 is arranged on the ring pressing cylinder head 8 and rotates along the center thereof. Specifically, the rotating ring 4 is embedded in the front side of the ring pressing cylinder head 8. A plurality of mounting holes are arranged on the rotating ring 4 at intervals, and the included angle of every two adjacent mounting holes is the same. An internal thread is arranged in the mounting hole, and the thickness detection probe 6 is threadedly connected in each mounting hole. In the specific pressing implementation process, the support for fixing the stainless steel pipe is arranged on the upper side of the hydraulic oil tank 1, and the fixing clamp is arranged on the support to temporarily clamp the stainless steel pipe. Through the continuous pressurization of the hydraulic system, the pairs of pressing heads 81 move along the radial direction of the ring pressing cylinder head 8 to the center, so that the stainless steel pipe arranged in the middle is continuously pressed.

[0058] During the radial movement of the pressing heads 81, the rotating ring 4 can rotate along the center of the ring pressing cylinder head 8, and the plurality of thickness detection probes 6 rotate accordingly, at least by an angle of a full circle. The number of thickness detection probes 6 can be 3, 4 or even more.

[0059] The thickness of the stainless steel pipe at the crimping position is detected by the plurality of thickness detection probes 6 in a full circle, so that whether the stainless steel pipe is qualified after crimping can be known in all directions, and the detection efficiency is improved.

[0060] Further, the connecting structure 9 is arranged between the rotating ring 4 and one of the pressing heads 81 of the ring pressing cylinder head 8, for rotating the rotating ring 4 when the pressing heads 81 move towards the center along the radial direction.

[0061] In the present application, the rotating ring 4 is rotatably connected with the ring pressing cylinder head 8, and the connecting structure 9 is arranged on the side wall of the ring pressing cylinder head 8. Through the linkage of the connecting structure 9, the pressing heads 81 can automatically rotate with the rotating ring 4 when moving along the radial direction. Through the connecting structure 9, the linkage between the pressing heads 81 and the rotating ring 4 can be simultaneously performed, so that the thickness detection probes 6 arranged on the rotating ring 4 can detect the thickness change and state of the stainless steel pipe in real time, so as to determine whether the two stainless steel pipes meet the thickness requirement after crimping.

[0062] Further, the connecting structure 9 comprises,

[0063] The driving part 92 is rotatably arranged on the outer periphery of the ring pressing cylinder head 8, and the driving part 92 is in contact with the rotating ring 4;

[0064] The transmission part 91 is in transmission connection with one end of the pressing head 81 and the other end of the driving part 92, and the transmission part 91 rotates the driving part 92 when the pressing head 81 moves towards the center along the radial direction.

[0065] In the present application, the driving part 92 of the connecting structure 9 is in frictional contact with the rotating ring 4. In order to improve the friction force between the two, an annular groove is arranged on the driving part 92, and a rubber ring is arranged in the annular groove. The rubber ring is in contact with the outer peripheral wall of the rotating ring 4, so as to avoid the driving part 92 from slipping when driving the rotating ring 4 to rotate.

[0066] One end of the transmission part 91 is connected with the pressing head 81, so that when the pressing head 81 moves in the radial direction, the transmission part 91 can be driven to move together. The other end of the transmission part 91 is connected with the driving part 92, so that when the transmission part 91 is moved by the pressing head 81, the driving part 92 can be driven to rotate, and in turn drive the rotating ring 4 to rotate. It is ensured that the rotating ring 4 can be driven to rotate by the connecting structure 9 during the radial movement of the pressing head 81, so that the plurality of thickness detection probes 6 can surround an angle sum of at least 360°, and in turn achieve real-time detection of the thickness during the ring pressing connection of the stainless steel pipe.

[0067] Further, the driving part 92 is a driving wheel which is in point contact with the outer periphery of the rotating ring 4.

[0068] Alternatively, the outer periphery of the driving wheel is provided with a first outer gear ring, and the outer periphery of the rotating ring 4 is provided with a second outer gear ring matched with the first outer gear ring.

[0069] In the present application, the driving part 92 adopts the form of a driving wheel, and one driving mode is that the driving wheel is in point contact with the outer periphery of the rotating ring 4, and the rotating ring 4 is driven to rotate by the driving part 92 through friction.

[0070] Another mode is that the outer periphery of the driving wheel is provided with a first outer gear ring, and the outer periphery of the rotating ring 4 is also provided with a second outer gear ring matched with the first outer gear ring, so that the driving wheel drives the rotating ring to rotate more stably through the meshing of the first outer gear ring and the second outer gear ring, avoiding the occurrence of slipping.

[0071] Further, the transmission part 91 comprises

[0072] The trigger rod 911 is arranged in the radial direction of the ring pressing cylinder head 8, one end of which is connected with the pressing head 81, and the other end of which is provided with a rack 912;

[0073] The gear set is in meshing transmission connection with the rack 912 at one end, and in transmission connection with the driving wheel at the other end.

[0074] In the present application, the transmission part 91 can adopt the linkage mode of the trigger rod 911 and the gear set, wherein the trigger rod 911 is provided with a rack 912 or the trigger rod 911 itself is a complete rack 912, and the rack 912 on the trigger rod 911 is in meshing transmission with the gear set. Due to the cooperation of the gear set, the driving wheel can be finally driven to rotate. The setting direction of the trigger rod 911 is consistent with the radial movement direction of the pressing head 81.

[0075] Further, the gear set comprises

[0076] The first bevel gear set comprises a first bevel gear 914 and a second bevel gear 915, and the two bevel gears are in meshing transmission; the first bevel gear 914 is connected with a driven gear 913 matched with the rack 912 through a transmission shaft 918;

[0077] The second bevel gear set comprises a third bevel gear 916 and a fourth bevel gear 917, and the two bevel gears are in meshing transmission; the third bevel gear 916 is connected with the second bevel gear 915 through the transmission shaft 918 at one end, and the fourth bevel gear 917 is connected with the driving wheel through the transmission shaft 918.

[0078] In the present application, the specific structure of the gear set can be two pairs of bevel gear sets. Among them, the first bevel gear 914 in the first bevel gear set 914 is in meshing transmission with the second bevel gear 915; one end of the first bevel gear 914 is connected with the driven gear 913 through the transmission shaft 918, and the driven gear 913 is in meshing transmission with the rack 912 on the trigger lever 911.

[0079] In addition, the third bevel gear 916 in the second bevel gear set 915 is in meshing transmission with the fourth bevel gear 917. Among them, the fixed plate 10 is arranged on the ring pressing cylinder head 8, a rotating shaft is arranged between the third bevel gear 916 and the second bevel gear 915, the rotating shaft penetrates through the fixed plate 10 and is rotatably connected with the fixed plate 10, and the fourth bevel gear 917 is connected with the driving wheel through the rotating shaft. Thus, through the two bevel gear sets, the movement is transmitted to the driving wheel when the pressing head 81 moves in the radial direction, and the transmission to the rotating ring 4 is realized.

[0080] Further, the number of teeth of the third bevel gear 916 is greater than the number of teeth of the fourth bevel gear 917;

[0081] Preferably, the tooth ratio of the third bevel gear 916 to the fourth bevel gear 917 is 3:1.

[0082] In the present application, the number of teeth of the third bevel gear 916 is greater than the number of teeth of the fourth bevel gear 917, and the tooth ratio is preferably 3:1, so that the third bevel gear 916 can drive the fourth bevel gear 917 to rotate quickly when transmitting the fourth bevel gear 917, and thus the driving wheel can rotate more angles. Thus, within the limited transmission distance of the rack 912 on the trigger lever 911 and the driven gear 913, the rotation path of the driving wheel can be enlarged, and thus the sum of the overall rotation angles of the plurality of thickness detection probes 6 can be ensured to be a complete circumference when the rotating ring 4 rotates, and thus the real-time thickness detection of the stainless steel pipe and the judgment of whether the thickness reaches the compression completion thickness can be realized.

[0083] Further, a plurality of ultrasonic probes 7 are arranged on the rotating ring 4, and each ultrasonic probe 7 is located between two adjacent thickness detection probes 6.

[0084] In the present application, a plurality of ultrasonic probes 7 are also arranged on the rotating ring 4, each of which is located between two thickness detection probes 6, and the included angle of the two adjacent ultrasonic probes 7 is consistent. The abovementioned pressure head 81 is moved along the radial direction, so that the sum of the rotation angles of the thickness detection probes 6 and the ultrasonic probes 7 on the rotating ring 4 is at least one complete circumference. Then, through the real-time detection of the plurality of ultrasonic probes 7, it can be known whether the stainless steel pipe has internal cracks and other defects during the ring pressing connection of the stainless steel pipe, and then it can be accurately judged whether the stainless steel pipe pressing forming is qualified.

[0085] Similarly, each ultrasonic probe 7 is electrically connected with the display screen 2. Thus, during the pressing process, the technician can observe in real time through the display screen 2.

[0086] In addition, a control panel is arranged on the upper side of the hydraulic oil tank 1, and the control panel is provided with an alarm device 3, which can be an alarm lamp, a buzzer or other electrical appliances with prompting function. When the thickness of the stainless steel pipe exceeds the preset value or cracks occur during the ring pressing process, the abovementioned alarm device 3 can timely prompt the technician.

[0087] Reference Figure 6 The present application also provides a control method of the stainless steel pipe ring pressing connection detection device according to any one of the above-mentioned embodiments, which comprises the following steps,

[0088] The extrusion part of the stainless steel pipe to be processed is determined and inserted into the ring pressing cylinder head 8;

[0089] The plurality of pressure heads 81 are driven to move along the radial direction of the ring pressing cylinder head 8, and the rotating ring 4 is driven to rotate around the center of the ring pressing cylinder head 8;

[0090] The sum of the rotation angles of the plurality of thickness detection probes 6 and / or the plurality of ultrasonic probes 7 is at least one circumference, and the thickness and / or damage of the extrusion part of the stainless steel pipe is detected.

[0091] In the present application, the preparation stage: the stainless steel pipes are temporarily fixed on the fixing clamp, then one of the stainless steel pipes is sleeved with another stainless steel pipe, and the sleeve position is marked; the sealing ring is sleeved on the thinner stainless steel pipe, and the thicker stainless steel pipe is sleeved on the thinner stainless steel pipe, and the insertion depth is to the marked position.

[0092] The crimping stage: the ring pressing cylinder head 8 is continuously pressed by the hydraulic system, so that the paired pressing heads 81 move along the radial direction to the center, so that the driving part 92 drives the rotating ring 4 to rotate through the transmission of the connecting structure 9, and then the plurality of thickness detection probes 6 rotate around the stainless steel pipe, and the sum of the rotation angles of the plurality of thickness detection probes 6 is at least 360°, so that the thickness of the stainless steel pipe during the crimping process can be detected in real time as a whole, and then it can be judged whether the crimping operation is in place. In addition, an ultrasonic probe 7 is arranged between the two thickness detection probes 6, and the same movement action is consistent, and the damage of the stainless steel pipe during the crimping process can be detected in real time. Then the thickness detection probe 6 and the ultrasonic probe 7 can be detected at the same time or separately, so as to meet the detection of the technical personnel on whether the stainless steel pipe is qualified.

[0093] Further, the plurality of pressing heads 81 are driven to move along the radial direction of the ring pressing cylinder head 8, and the plurality of thickness detection probes 6 are controlled to operate;

[0094] The plurality of pressing heads 81 are driven to move reversely along the radial direction of the ring pressing cylinder head 8, and the plurality of ultrasonic probes 7 are controlled to operate.

[0095] In the present application, during the crimping process of the stainless steel pipe, the thickness detection probe 6 is used to detect the thickness change of the stainless steel pipe in real time; when the pressing head 81 moves reversely in the radial direction, the plurality of ultrasonic probes 7 are controlled to rotate with the rotating ring 4 at this time, so that whether the stainless steel pipe is damaged in a whole cycle can be detected. Through the back-and-forth radial movement of the pressing head 81, different probes are controlled to work respectively, so that the division of labor is more clear, and the detection result is more accurate. After the crimping is completed, the ultrasonic probe 7 is used for detection, and the internal deformation has been fixed, so that the detection result is more accurate.

[0096] In addition, the above detection processes can be observed through the display screen 2, and when the thickness does not meet the standard or damage occurs, an alarm can be set to alarm and prompt the technical personnel to screen the crimped stainless steel pipe.
