TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of building material measurement, and particularly relates to a metal corrugated pipe bending forming mechanism. BACKGROUND
[0002] The experience of using metal corrugated pipes in the engineering field has been nearly 200 years. With the vigorous development of urban construction, the types and quality of metal corrugated pipes have been greatly improved. Generally speaking, various types of metal corrugated pipes nowadays have the advantages of convenient manufacturing, low price, good sealing performance, corrosion resistance and the like. However, such a large amount and such a wide range of use of metal corrugated pipes inevitably requires that the quality of the metal corrugated pipes be guaranteed. In fact, for the purpose of guidance, the Ministry of Construction of China has promulgated relevant detection standards for metal corrugated pipes, namely JG / T225-2020 “Metal Corrugated Pipe for Prestressed Concrete”. According to the relevant provisions of JG / T225-2020 “Metal Corrugated Pipe for Prestressed Concrete”, before the application of this type of metal corrugated pipe, it is necessary to test whether the metal corrugated pipe leaks in the bent state. According to the relevant provisions in the above standard, when testing, the metal corrugated pipe test piece needs to be cut to a length of 1500mm, the test piece is bent into an arc shape, and the ratio of the curvature radius of the bent metal corrugated pipe to its nominal inner diameter is 30:1. Then, one end of the metal corrugated pipe is closed, and cement mortar is poured from the other end of the metal corrugated pipe. If there is no leakage on the outer surface of the metal corrugated pipe, it means that the metal corrugated pipe meets the requirements, otherwise it is unqualified.
[0003] In the prior art, a patent document with publication number “CN109675979A” discloses a fan-type metal corrugated pipe plane bending device. The device is composed of a bending system, a fixing system and a shaping system. Through the cooperation of the various elements of the device support system, the device can be quickly installed. Then, the main arm and the auxiliary arm of the device are used to fix the metal corrugated pipe. Subsequently, the device interval swing is used to bend the metal corrugated pipe into the required corresponding circular arc shape. Finally, the shaping rod of the device can be used to maintain and strengthen the circular arc shape of the metal corrugated pipe until the pipe line meets the test requirements. The device solves the problem that the pipe sample cannot be accurately bent when testing the anti-leakage performance of the metal corrugated pipe after bending. However, the device can only be used to bend one type of metal corrugated pipe, and cannot bend the metal corrugated pipe to the corresponding curvature radius according to the nominal inner diameter of the metal corrugated pipe, so the application range is limited. In addition, when the metal corrugated pipe is bent and formed, there is often an error between the actual curvature radius and the preset curvature radius, which affects the forming quality and forming effect of the metal corrugated pipe.
