[0027] Reference Figures 1 to 6, the embodiment of the present application provides a steel tube inner boss forming device, which is used for processing and forming the inner boss of a steel tube 11. The steel tube inner boss forming device may include a mounting plate 1, a positioning shaft 2, a guide shaft 3, multiple inner molds 4, an elastic ring 5, a driving part 6 and multiple outer punches 7. The positioning shaft 2 is arranged on one side of the mounting plate 1 and its axial direction is the same as the thickness direction of the mounting plate 1; the guide shaft 3 is arranged at one end of the positioning shaft 2 away from the mounting plate 1 and its axial direction is the same as the axial direction of the positioning shaft 2. The diameter of the end of the guide shaft 3 away from the positioning shaft 2 is smaller than the diameter of the other end; the multiple inner molds 4 are arranged on the circumference of the guide shaft 3. The inner molds 4 are arranged at intervals on the periphery of the guide shaft 3 and have the freedom to move axially along the guide shaft 3. The outer periphery of each inner mold 4 is sleeved on the steel pipe 11 and each inner mold 4 is provided with a recessed portion; the elastic ring 5 is sleeved on the outer periphery of each inner mold 4 and provides each inner mold 4 with a force to fit the guide shaft 3; the driving part 6 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the positioning shaft 2; a plurality of external punches 7 correspond one-to-one to the plurality of internal molds 4 and are arranged on the side of the driving part 6 away from the mounting plate 1, and the external punches 7 move radially along the positioning shaft 2 in response to the driving force of the driving part 6, so as to cooperate with the recessed portion on the corresponding inner mold 4 to press out an inner boss on the steel pipe 11.

[0028] The embodiment of the present application proposes a steel tube inner boss forming device, in which the inner die 4 is located at one end of the guide shaft 3 close to the positioning shaft 2, and the steel tube 11 is sleeved on the outer circumference of each inner die 4. At this time, each inner die 4 is located between the steel tube 11 and the positioning shaft 2, and the driving part 6 drives each outer punch 7 to move radially along the positioning shaft 2 and squeeze the steel tube 11, so that the position corresponding to the recessed portion on the steel tube 11 is squeezed out with the inner boss, and the inner boss is located in the corresponding recessed portion, and then the driving part 6 drives each outer punch 7 to move radially along the positioning shaft 2 and away from the steel tube 11, and at this time, the steel tube 11 is moved along the thickness direction of the mounting plate 1, so that the steel tube 11 is away from the mounting plate 1, and the steel tube 11 drives the inner die 4 to synchronously move away from the mounting plate 1 through the cooperation of the inner boss and the recessed portion. During the process, the elastic ring 5 always clamps the inner die 4, so that the inner die 4 fits the guide shaft 3, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown, when the inner mold 4 moves to the end of the guide shaft 3 away from the positioning shaft 2, the recessed portions on each inner mold 4 are separated from the corresponding inner bosses, and the steel tube 11 and the inner mold 4 can be separated, and the inner boss forming of the steel tube 11 can be completed. The overall operation of the steel tube inner boss forming device is simple and fast and can be reused. The position and shape of the inner bosses on each steel tube 11 are controllable, with high precision, and can be mass-produced.

[0029] Specifically, when the steel tube inner boss forming device is used, the mounting plate 1 can be placed on a plane. At this time, the thickness direction of the mounting plate 1 can be the direction of gravity. After the steel tube 11 is formed and separated from the inner mold 4, the inner mold 4 falls back to the end of the guide shaft 3 close to the positioning shaft 2 by its own gravity, so that the steel tube inner boss forming device can be used next time.

[0030] Among them, using the steel pipe inner boss forming device, only three steps are needed to complete the forming of the steel pipe 11. The first step is to put the steel pipe 11 on the outer periphery of the inner mold 4. The second step is to control the outer punch 7 to move back and forth once along the radial direction of the positioning shaft 2 through the driving part 6, thereby squeezing the steel pipe 11 and moving away from the steel pipe 11 after the extrusion is completed. The third step is to move along the thickness direction of the mounting plate 1 and pull out the steel pipe 11. The overall operation is simple and the work efficiency is high.

[0031] It should be understood that the thickness direction of the mounting plate 1 does not necessarily have to be the same as the gravity direction, as long as the inner mold 4 can fall back to the end of the guide shaft 3 close to the positioning shaft 2 by its own gravity.

[0032] It should be noted that if Figure 4 As shown, the side of the inner mold 4 close to the guide shaft 3 is in contact with the guide shaft 3, and the side of the inner mold 4 away from the guide shaft 3 is sleeved with the steel pipe 11, so the side of the inner mold 4 close to the guide shaft 3 and the side away from the guide shaft 3 are both arc-shaped. In this application, the side of the inner mold 4 close to the guide shaft 3 is recorded as the inner periphery of the inner mold 4, and the side of the inner mold 4 away from the guide shaft 3 is recorded as the outer periphery.

[0033] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in the present application, there are three inner dies 4 and the three inner dies 4 are evenly arranged on the periphery of the guide shaft 3 along the circumferential direction, and there are also three corresponding outer punches 7.

[0034] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 In an exemplary embodiment, the outer punch 7 may include a moving part 71 and an extrusion rod 72, the moving part 71 is connected to the driving part 6; the extrusion rod 72 is fixed to the side of the moving part 71 away from the driving part 6 and the extension direction is the same as its own moving direction, and the extrusion rod 72 extends from the moving part 71 at one end close to the corresponding inner mold 4 and is provided with a protrusion that cooperates with the recessed part.

[0035] Specifically, the driving part 6 can be a hydraulic chuck or a pneumatic chuck, etc. The hydraulic chuck can drive the claws set on itself to move radially along the positioning shaft 2, and the moving part 71 can be fixed to the claws on the hydraulic chuck. At this time, when the hydraulic chuck drives the claws to move radially along the positioning shaft 2, the claws drive the moving part 71 and the extrusion rod 72 to move synchronously. Among them, there are many existing hydraulic chucks, and the hydraulic chucks are not described in detail here.

[0036] It should be understood that one end of the extrusion rod 72 close to the corresponding inner die 4 extends out a moving part 71 and is provided with a convex part that cooperates with the concave part. In this way, when the extrusion rod 72 moves radially along the positioning shaft 2, the convex part is driven to contact the steel pipe 11 first, and the corresponding part on the steel pipe 11 is extruded to form an inner boss. The inner boss is located in the concave part on the corresponding inner die 4. After that, the hydraulic chuck is used to drive each extrusion rod 72 away from the steel pipe 11 to separate the convex part from the steel pipe 11, and then the subsequent operations can be carried out.

[0037] Reference Figure 2 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 , in an exemplary embodiment, the guide shaft 3 is sequentially divided into a first diameter section, a diameter change section and a second diameter section in the direction away from the positioning shaft 2, and the diameter of the first diameter section is greater than the diameter of the second diameter section; wherein, in the thickness direction of the mounting plate 1, the axial length of the first diameter section and the axial length of the second diameter section are greater than the length of the inner die 4.

[0038] Specifically, as Figure 2 shown, in the thickness direction of the mounting plate 1, the length of the first diameter section is greater than the length of the inner die 4. When the inner die 4 is completely located in the first diameter section, the arc surfaces where the outer peripheries of each inner die 4 are located are all parallel to the axial direction of the guide shaft 3, and the inner periphery of the steel pipe 11 is also parallel to the axial direction of the guide shaft 3. In this way, the inner periphery of the steel pipe 11 fits more closely with the outer peripheries of each inner die 4, effectively preventing the steel pipe 11 from shaking.

[0039] It should be understood that when the inner die 4 is in the first diameter section, the inner boss forming operation of the steel pipe 11 is completed. When the steel pipe 11 moves away from the mounting plate 1 in the thickness direction of the mounting plate 1, the steel pipe 11 drives the inner die 4 to move axially along the guide shaft 3 through the cooperation of the inner boss and the concave part, passes through the diameter change section and completely enters the second diameter section. As Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, at this time, the concave part on the inner die 4 is separated from the corresponding inner boss on the steel pipe 11, and the steel pipe 11 moving in the thickness direction of the mounting plate 1 cannot drive the inner die 4 to move. The inner die 4 falls back into the first diameter section by its own gravity. At this time, the formed steel pipe 11 is separated from the inner die 4, and then the forming operation of the next steel pipe 11 can be carried out.

[0040] Among them, when the inner die 4 passes through the diameter transformation section, the elastic ring 5 always presses each inner die 4, so that each inner die 4 closely adheres to the guide shaft 3, that is, when each inner die 4 passes through the diameter transformation section, each inner die 4 approaches each other, and the inner boss on the steel pipe 11 does not change, so that the concave part on each inner die 4 is gradually separated from the corresponding inner boss. When the inner die 4 is in the second diameter section, the distance between the concave part on each inner die 4 and the corresponding inner boss reaches the maximum. As Figure 6 shown, at this time, the steel pipe 11 can be separated from the inner die 4.

[0041] It should be noted that the diameter change of the guide shaft 3 at each position in its own axial direction is continuous. In other words, there is no stepped surface on the guide shaft 3.

[0042] Reference Figure 2 , in an exemplary embodiment, the diameter of the positioning shaft 2 is greater than the diameter of the first diameter section and less than the inner diameter of the steel pipe 11; when the inner mold 4 abuts against the positioning shaft 2, the recessed part is located on the moving path of the corresponding protruding part.

[0043] Specifically, when the diameter of the positioning shaft 2 is greater than the diameter of the first diameter section and less than the inner diameter of the steel pipe 11, when the inner mold 4 returns to the first diameter section, it will abut against the positioning shaft 2, preventing the inner mold 4 from detaching from the guide shaft 3.

[0044] Furthermore, that is, when the inner mold 4 returns to the first diameter section, it will abut against the positioning shaft 2. At this time, the recessed part is located on the moving path of the corresponding protruding part. In other words, at this time, a new steel pipe 11 can be directly sleeved on the outer periphery of the inner mold 4 to perform a new round of inner boss forming operation on the steel pipe 11, without adjusting the position of the inner mold 4, making it more efficient to use.

[0045] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 5 , in an exemplary embodiment, the steel pipe inner boss forming device may further include a limiting piece 31 and a spring 32. The limiting piece 31 is fixed to one end of the guide shaft 3 away from the positioning shaft 2; the spring 32 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the guide shaft 3, one end of the spring 32 is connected to each inner mold 4, and the other end of the spring 32 is connected to the limiting piece 31.

[0046] Specifically, as Figure 1 shown, the spring 32 is always in a compressed state. As Figure 1 shown, when the inner mold 4 abuts against the positioning shaft 2, the spring 32 always gives the inner mold 4 a force close to the positioning shaft 2, so that the recessed part on the inner mold 4 is on the moving path of the protruding part, effectively preventing the inner mold 4 from shaking.

[0047] As Figure 5 shown, when the inner mold 4 moves into the second diameter section, the steel pipe 11 is separated from the inner mold 4, and the spring 32 will push the inner mold 4 to move axially along the guide shaft 3 and abut against the positioning shaft 2. At this time, the subsequent inner boss forming operation of the steel pipe 11 can be carried out; thus, when the steel pipe 11 is separated from the inner mold 4, the inner mold 4 can move into the first diameter section through the spring 32 without relying on the gravity of the inner mold 4 to slide down. Then, when using this steel pipe inner boss forming device, the thickness direction of the mounting plate 1 does not need to be limited and can be installed and used according to the actual situation.

[0048] Reference Figure 5, in an exemplary embodiment, in the thickness direction of the mounting plate 1, the sum of the minimum length of the spring 32 and the length of the inner mold 4 is less than the length of the second diameter section.

[0049] Specifically, when the spring 32 is compressed to the state as shown in Figure 5 , in the thickness direction of the mounting plate 1, the length of the spring 32 reaches the minimum. Here, the minimum length of the spring 32 can be understood as the minimum working length of the spring 32, and the sum of the minimum length of the spring 32 and the length of the inner mold 4 is less than the length of the second diameter section. Thus, the inner mold 4 can be completely within the second diameter section, so that the recess on the inner mold 4 is completely separated from the inner boss on the steel pipe 11, and finally the steel pipe 11 is separated from the inner mold 4.

[0050] Refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 , in an exemplary embodiment, multiple chutes extending along the axial direction of the guide shaft 3 are provided on the outer periphery of the guide shaft 3; the multiple chutes correspond to multiple inner molds 4 one by one; the steel pipe inner boss forming device may further include multiple limit pins 41, and the multiple limit pins 41 are fixedly arranged on the side of each inner mold 4 in contact with the guide shaft 3 one by one and the axial direction is the same as the radial direction of the guide shaft 3, and each limit pin 41 is inserted into the corresponding chute and is in sliding fit with the corresponding chute.

[0051] Specifically, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 4 , limit pins 41 are fixedly arranged on the inner periphery of each inner mold 4, and the limit pins 41 are in sliding fit with the corresponding chutes on the guide shaft 3. When each inner mold 4 moves along the axial direction of the guide shaft 3, each limit pin 41 slides in the corresponding chute, and the limit pin 41 abuts against the side wall of the corresponding chute. Thus, when the steel pipe 11 is sleeved on the outer periphery of each inner mold 4, the inner mold 4 cannot rotate around the axial direction of the guide shaft 3, that is, the recess is always on the moving path of the protrusion, so that the recess and the protrusion can cooperate to extrude and form an inner boss on the steel pipe 11.

[0052] In an exemplary embodiment, when the inner mold 4 is in contact with the guide shaft 3, the length of the limit pin 41 is less than the depth of the chute.

[0053] Specifically, the depth direction of the chute is the same as the radial direction of the guide shaft 3, then the depth of the chute refers to the length of the chute in the radial direction of the guide shaft 3. When the length of the limit pin 41 is less than the depth of the chute, when the inner mold 4 drives the limit pin 41 to move, the limit pin 41 will not be pushed by the chute to generate a displacement in the radial direction of the guide shaft 3, ensuring that the inner mold 4 is always in contact with the guide shaft 3. Among them, the depth of the chute in the first diameter section, the depth of the variable section, and the depth of the second diameter section can be the same.

[0054] It should be understood that, as shown in Figure 2As shown, if the limit pin 41 is fixed to the inner circumference of the inner mold 4 by embedding, the length of the limit pin 41 here refers to the length that the limit pin 41 extends out of the inner mold 4 along its axial direction, rather than the overall length of the limit pin 41.

[0055] Reference Figure 2 , in an exemplary embodiment, arc-shaped through grooves are provided on the outer periphery of each inner mold 4, and the elastic ring 5 passes through the arc-shaped through grooves on each inner mold 4.

[0056] Specifically, as Figure shown, the arc-shaped through grooves on each inner mold 4 correspond end to end, and the elastic ring 5 passes through the arc-shaped through grooves on each inner mold 4. In this way, when the outer periphery of the inner mold 4 is in contact with the side wall of the steel pipe 11, it will not be affected by the elastic ring 5, and when the steel pipe 11 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the inner mold 4 or separated from the inner mold 4, it will not cause the elastic ring 5 to move along the axial direction of the guide shaft 3, ensuring the use effect of the elastic ring 5.

[0057] Furthermore, as ​ shown, there are two elastic rings 5, and the two elastic rings 5 are respectively close to the opposite ends of the inner mold 4 in the thickness direction of the mounting plate 1. In this way, the two elastic rings 5 can clamp each inner mold 4 and the guide shaft 3 more tightly and evenly, and the fitting effect between the inner mold 4 and the guide shaft 3 is better.

[0058] Reference ​ , in an exemplary embodiment, the steel pipe inner boss forming device may further include a positioning ring 8, and the positioning ring 8 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the positioning shaft 2 and abuts against one end of the steel pipe 11; wherein, the outer diameter of the steel pipe 11 is greater than the inner diameter of the positioning ring 8 and less than the outer diameter of the positioning ring 8.

[0059] Specifically, as ​ shown, the positioning ring 8 is located inside the hydraulic chuck. When the steel pipe 11 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the inner mold 4, one end of the steel pipe 11 close to the mounting plate 1 abuts against the positioning ring 8. In this way, by adjusting the length of the positioning ring 8 along its axial direction, the distance between the finally processed inner boss on the steel pipe 11 and one end of the steel pipe 11 close to the mounting plate 1 can be changed, facilitating the control of the processing position of the inner boss on the steel pipe 11.

[0060] Among them, adjusting the length of the positioning ring 8 along its axial direction can be achieved by increasing or decreasing the number of positioning rings 8. The axial directions of multiple positioning rings 8 are the same and they are all sleeved on the outer periphery of the positioning shaft 2. When the number of positioning rings 8 increases, the length of multiple positioning rings 8 along their axial direction increases, and the distance between the inner boss on the steel pipe 11 and one end of the steel pipe 11 close to the mounting plate 1 becomes smaller; when the number of positioning rings 8 decreases, the length of multiple positioning rings 8 along their axial direction decreases, and the distance between the inner boss on the steel pipe 11 and one end of the steel pipe 11 close to the mounting plate 1 becomes larger.

[0061] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present application, and do not limit the patent scope of the present application. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made by using the content of the specification and drawings of the present application, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, shall be similarly included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
