Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of metal pipe processing technology innovation, and in particular to a processing device suitable for reducing the tip of a pipe end. Background Art

[0002] The taper tube shrinking machine is also called a closing machine or a beveling machine. It is a device used to shrink the end of a round tube into a cone shape. It shrinks the tube diameter and mouth shape according to a certain cone angle. With the corresponding mold, metal tubes of different diameters can be processed to meet different needs. With the corresponding mold, conical workpieces of different sizes can be processed, and the conical tube is bright and smooth. Therefore, this equipment is widely used in bicycles, electric vehicle frame pipe fittings, metal furniture industry, iron art guardrail industry, etc.

[0003] The tube shrinking machines on the market generally complete the loading operation manually. During the tube shrinking process, in order to prevent damage to the tube and the tube shrinking machine, the end of the tube is generally required to be heated before being placed in the tube shrinking machine. After the end is completely red hot, it is inserted into the tube shrinking machine for taper processing. The tube shrinking machine uses the tube shrinking motor as a power source to allow the mold to continuously hammer the outer side of the red hot end of the tube to achieve taper processing, which is the same principle as metal forging.

[0004] However, the efficiency of manual loading is low, and the heat transfer of metal pipes is strong, resulting in a high overall temperature after the end of the pipe is heated. It is difficult for operators to move to the shrinking machine and they are prone to burns. If a robot is used for clamping, not only is the design cost of the robot high, but it also needs to be reset after each step is completed, resulting in room for improvement in processing efficiency.

[0005] The prior art (announcement number: CN209021095U, announcement date: 2019.06.25) discloses a fully automatic processing equipment for shrinking the front end of an advanced small catheter, which inserts the front end of the advanced small catheter into the high-frequency heating coil to realize high-frequency induction heating of the front end of the advanced small catheter; since the high-frequency heating coil is located on the axis of the rotating mold cavity of the tube shrinking machine, the clamping and feeding part can clamp the advanced small catheter that has completed the front end heating and move it forward so that its front end enters the rotating spinning mold of the tube shrinking machine part for taper processing. After the processing is completed, it is necessary to withdraw the rotating mold cavity and the high-frequency heating coil, and manually replace the next unprocessed catheter, and generally it needs to cool down for a period of time before it can be manually replaced, resulting in low production efficiency.

[0006] In addition, after the end of the metal pipe is tapered, some products need to be drilled at the tapered position. For example, the existing solar ground piles are in the shape of a pipe as a whole, with the top end tapered and holes drilled on the tapered surface. The current common method is to wait for it to cool before drilling. However, this drilling method is not only inefficient, but also the metal is relatively soft when it is red-hot, so it is easier to drill holes at this time. Therefore, the present invention proposes a processing equipment suitable for the tapered end of the pipe to solve the various problems mentioned above. Summary of the invention

The pipe shrinking pushing hydraulic cylinder 17 pushes the pipe 8 into the pipe shrinking mechanism 4 through the base 22, the material equalization plate 23 and the right side limit clamp 14 for pipe shrinking processing.

[0058] As a further solution of the present invention: two tube-reducing and pushing hydraulic cylinders 17 are provided, and the telescopic rods of the two tube-reducing and pushing hydraulic cylinders 17 are respectively fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the right bottom plate 14.3; the force for conveying the tube 8 into the tube-reducing mechanism 4 is more uniform and stable, and stable pushing is achieved, so that a more precise conical surface can be processed at the end of the tube 8.

[0059] As a further solution of the present invention: the clamping force of the left limit clamp 14 is smaller than that of the right limit clamp 14. When the tube shrinking and pushing hydraulic cylinder 17 drives the right bottom plate 14.3 to move to the left, the right limit clamp 14 clamps the tube 8 and transports it to the tube shrinking mechanism 4 for taper processing; the left limit clamp 14 only plays a limiting role. In the process of pushing the tube 8 into the tube shrinking mechanism 4 for taper processing, only the right limit clamp 14 is used to clamp the tube 8, so as to achieve the effect of rapid positioning and pushing.

The shell 4.1 and the tube shrinking motor 4.3 are both fixedly mounted on the frame 1. The tube shrinking mold cavity 4.2 is rotatably mounted in the shell 4.1. The tube shrinking motor 4.3 drives the tube shrinking mold cavity 4.2 to rotate. When the tube shrinking motor 4.3 drives the tube shrinking mold cavity 4.2 to rotate, the red-hot end of the tube 8 will be pushed into the tube shrinking mold cavity 4.2. As the tube shrinking mold cavity 4.2 rotates at a high speed, the red-hot end of the tube 8 will be hammered into the required conical shape by the tube shrinking mold cavity 4.2, which is the same as the principle of existing metal forging, and rapid forging and forming can be achieved.

[0061] As a further solution of the present invention: the two side plates 6 on the right side of the punching mechanism 5 are fixedly mounted on the frame 1, and the two side plates 6 on the right side of the punching mechanism 5 are formed with a second groove 18, and the sides of the two side plates 6 on the right side of the punching mechanism 5 are fixedly mounted with a third unhooking cylinder 19, and the third unhooking cylinder 19 drives the pipe 8 to disengage from the second groove 18 and roll to the front side of the frame 1 for recovery; after the conical surface processing of the pipe 8 is completed, the right limit clamp 14 moves to the right and drives the pipe 8 to disengage from the tube shrinking mechanism 4, and at this time, the front clamps 14.1 of the two limit clamps 14 are opened at the same time, so that the pipe 8 rolls along the slope 7 on the side plate 6 to the right side of the punching mechanism 5, and at this time, the pipe 8 will roll into the second groove 18 to achieve positioning, thereby facilitating the punching mechanism 5 to perform punching processing on the conical surface of the pipe 8, and after the punching processing is completed, the pipe 8 is separated from the second groove 18 by opening the third unhooking cylinder 19, and the pipe 8 will roll out of the frame 1 with its own gravity, so as to achieve the effect of automatic discharging.

When drilling, the punching motor 5.4 will drive the plasma gun nozzle 5.5 to rotate, and then a circular hole is opened on the conical surface of the pipe 8, thereby realizing automatic drilling processing.

[0063] As a further solution of the present invention: a positioner 5.7 is set on the vertical frame 5.1, and the positioner 5.7 includes a positioning cylinder 571 and a conical recessed block 572. The positioning cylinder 571 is fixedly installed on the vertical frame 5.1, and the positioning cylinder 571 drives the conical recessed block 572 to move left and right to press the left end of the pipe 8; when punching, the positioner 5.7 can be used to position the pipe 8, so that the plasma gun nozzle 5.5 can be aligned with the conical surface of the pipe 8 to perform the punching action.

[0064] As a further solution of the present invention: a second tightening cylinder 20 is fixedly installed on the frame 1, and a second top plate 21 is fixedly installed on the telescopic rod of the second tightening cylinder 20. When the plasma gun nozzle 5.5 is aligned with the conical surface of the pipe 8 for processing, the second tightening cylinder 20 supports the right end of the pipe 8 through the second top plate 21; during the punching process, the second tightening cylinder 20 can be used to push the conical part of the pipe 8 into the conical recessed block 572, so as to realize the precise positioning and punching of the pipe 8.
