However, traditional steel pipe bending technology has many limitations, which seriously restricts the further improvement of production efficiency and product quality.

[0003] First, most of the steel pipe bending equipment on the market can only process steel pipes within a specific size range, lacking flexibility.

[0056] The bending assembly 1 30 includes a clamping assembly 31 disposed in the middle of the top surface of the body 11, and a regulating assembly 32 is disposed inside the clamping assembly 31;

[0057] The second bending assembly 40 includes a positioning assembly 41 disposed on the top surface of the body 11, and a lifting assembly 42 is disposed on the top of the positioning assembly 41;

[0058] Among them, the steel pipe to be bent enters the moving component 21 for preheating, and the expansion component 22 and the filling component 23 adjust the size of the internal channel according to the width of the steel pipe. At this time, the bending component 1 30 and the bending component 2 40 are also adjusted together through the regulating component 32 and the lifting component 42;

[0059] The moving component 21, the clamping component 31 and the positioning component 41 are used to adjust the bending path of the steel pipe and are displayed on the simulation component 14;

[0060] A stepping screw 13 is disposed at the bottom of the bracket 12 for driving the moving assembly 21 to move.

[0061] It should be noted that a plurality of strip grooves are provided on the bottom surface of the body 11 , so as to facilitate the sliding of the light-emitting components of the simulation component 14 on the bottom surface of the body 11 .

[0062] In this embodiment, before bending, the positions of the moving component 21, the clamping component 31 and the positioning component 41 are adjusted according to the curvature of the steel pipe bending, so as to adjust the path of the steel pipe when bending according to the curvature. At the same time, the nodes of the path will be projected through the light-emitting components of the simulation component 14 for the staff to observe. Afterwards, according to the width of the steel pipe, the width and height of the expansion component 22 and the filling component 23 are adjusted, as well as the width and height of the control component 32 and the lifting component 42 to adapt to steel pipes of different widths and improve applicability. Before the steel pipe waits for bending, the steel pipe can be reheated by the moving component 21 to improve the plasticity of the steel pipe.

[0063] Next, please refer to Fig.10 The simulation component 14 includes a display board 141 fixedly connected to the bottom of the body 11, and a laser light 142 is fixedly connected below the moving component 21, the clamping component 31 and the positioning component 41, and the laser light 142 is slidably connected to the bottom surface of the body 11.

[0065] In this embodiment, after the moving assembly 21, the clamping assembly 31 and the positioning assembly 41 have adjusted the bending path of the steel pipe, the laser light 142 will project the nodes of the bending path of the steel pipe onto the display board 141 through laser, forming a clearly visible bending path diagram. The staff can ensure that the steel pipe moves along the correct path during the bending process by observing these projected nodes, thereby ensuring the bending accuracy.

[0066] Next, please refer to Figure 2-Figure 4The moving component 21 includes a sliding block 211 slidably connected to the left side of the top surface of the body 11, a lifting block 212 is slidably connected to the top of the sliding block 211, the right side of the lifting block 212 and the right side of the sliding block 211 are both rotatably connected to a feeding roller 213, the top of the sliding block 211 is slidably connected to a landing block 214, the inner cavity of the landing block 214 is threadedly connected to a first landing screw 215, the first landing screw 215 is rotatably connected to the top of the bracket 12, and an electric heating wire 216 is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the sliding block 211.

[0067] It should be noted that a plurality of vertical rods are arranged on the top of the sliding block 211, and the lifting block 212 is slidably connected to the outer ring of the vertical rods, and the landing block 214 cannot contact the vertical rods and the sliding block 211, so that the lifting block 212 can be driven to move by the sliding block 211, and can also be pulled up and down by the landing block 214;

[0068] The feed roller 213 is driven by an external motor (not shown in the figure), which is a common technology in this field and will not be described in detail.

[0069] In this embodiment, when adjusting the path, the position of the sliding block 211 is adjusted by rotating the stepping screw 13. When the height of the feeding area needs to be adjusted, the height of the landing block 214 is adjusted by rotating the first lifting screw 215, so that the distance between the upper and lower sets of feeding rollers 213 is increased to accommodate higher steel pipes. When the steel pipe is waiting to be bent, the electric heating wire 216 can be used to reheat the steel pipe to improve plasticity.

[0070] Next, please refer to Figure 3-Figure 9 The expansion assembly 22 includes a moving frame 221 slidably connected to the right side of the sliding block 211, the inner cavity of the moving frame 221 is slidably connected to the lifting frame 222, the right bottom of the sliding block 211 is rotatably connected to the first bidirectional screw rod 223, and the bottom of the moving frame 221 is threadedly connected to the outer ring of the first bidirectional screw rod 223;

[0072] It should be noted that a magnetic block is provided on the rear side of the filling strip 234, and the electromagnetic plate 236 is a device with adjustable NS poles, which is intended to utilize the principle of mutual repulsion of like poles to push out the filling strip 234 at the appropriate time, and can also absorb and retract the filling strip 234 according to needs to avoid affecting the descent of the top wheel 232;

[0073] The bottom wheel 231 and the top wheel 232 are both driven by external motors (not shown in the figure). This is a common technology in this field and will not be described in detail.

[0074] In this embodiment, when adjusting the width of the feeding area, the spacing between the front and rear groups of moving frames 221 is adjusted by rotating the first bidirectional screw rod 223 to adjust the width of the feeding area. When adjusting the height, the rising landing block 214 will pull the lifting frame 222 and the top wheel 232 up together. At this time, a gap will be generated between the rising top wheel 232 and the bottom wheel 231. Then the electromagnetic plate 236 will turn the NS pole and use the principle of mutual repulsion of like poles to push the filling strip 234 out to fill the gap between the top wheel 232 and the bottom wheel 231 to avoid the gap being too large to cause potholes on the arc surface, causing the outer surface of the steel pipe to deform and affect the product quality. When the top wheel 232 descends, the electromagnetic plate 236 will turn again to suck the filling strip 234 into the storage tube 233 to avoid affecting the descent of the top wheel 232.

[0075] Please refer again Figure 11-13 The clamping assembly 31 includes a middle frame 311 slidably connected to the middle part of the top surface of the machine body 11, the inner cavity of the middle frame 311 is slidably connected to the mounting frame 312, the top of the mounting frame 312 is rotatably connected to the second lifting screw 313, the top of the second lifting screw 313 is threadedly connected to the top of the middle frame 311, and the middle of the inner cavity of the middle frame 311 and the mounting frame 312 are both rotatably connected to the first guide wheel 314;

[0076] The regulating component 32 includes a movable ring 321 slidably connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the middle frame 311, and the bottom of the middle frame 311 is rotatably connected to a second bidirectional screw rod 322, the outer ring of the second bidirectional screw rod 322 is threadedly connected to the bottom of the movable ring 321, and the inner ring of the movable ring 321 is rotatably connected to a limit ring 323, and the limit ring 323 is slidably connected to the outer ring of the first guide wheel 314.

[0077] It should be noted that the bottom of the middle frame 311 is threadedly connected with a threaded rod for driving the middle frame 311 to move; and the first guide wheel 314 is driven by an external motor (not shown in the figure), which is a common technology in this field and will not be described in detail.

[0078] In this embodiment, before bending, the height of the mounting frame 312 can be adjusted by rotating the second lifting screw 313 according to the width of the steel pipe, thereby adjusting the spacing between the upper and lower sets of first guide wheels 314 to accommodate different types of steel pipes. At the same time, the second bidirectional screw 322 can also be rotated to drive the front and rear sets of movable rings 321 to move, thereby adjusting the spacing between the limit rings 323 and the width to accommodate different types of steel pipes.

[0079] Please refer again Figure 14-15 The positioning assembly 41 includes a right side frame 411 slidably connected to the right side of the machine body 11, a mounting block 412 is slidably connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the right side frame 411, a second guide wheel 413 is provided on the top of the mounting block 412, a third bidirectional screw rod 414 is rotatably connected to the middle of the right side frame 411, and an outer ring of the third bidirectional screw rod 414 is threadedly connected to the bottom of the mounting block 412;

[0082] The height of the lifting ring 422 is greater than the height of the cross groove 421, and when the lifting ring 422 is raised to the top of the cross groove 421, the bottom of the cross groove 421 will still be covered by the lifting ring 422, in order to prevent the surface of the cross groove 421 from being exposed and having pits, which would affect the quality of the steel pipe bending.

[0083] In this embodiment, when adjusting the width and height, the distance between the front and rear sets of mounting blocks 412 can be adjusted by rotating the third bidirectional screw rod 414 to adjust the width. At the same time, the height of the lifting ring 422 can be adjusted by rotating the third lifting screw rod 423 to adjust the distance between the lifting ring 422 and the bottom of the second guide wheel 413, thereby adjusting the height.

[0089] S4: The steel pipe is then fed into the bending area along the feeding roller 213, the bottom wheel 231 and the top wheel 232 according to the path planned in S1, and then rolled and bent by the first guide wheel 314 and the second guide wheel 413.

[0090] In this embodiment, the height and width of the bending area are controlled to limit the steel pipe during bending to prevent the steel pipe from shifting during processing, resulting in a reduced yield. According to the process of S3, the speed of steel pipe transportation can be controlled during the steel pipe bending process so that the steel pipe can be reheated more to improve plasticity and make the steel pipe bend more evenly.

[0091] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: before bending, the positions of the sliding block 211, the middle frame 311 and the right frame 411 are adjusted according to the curvature of the steel pipe bending, and the nodes of the steel pipe bending path are projected onto the display board 141 by laser through the laser lamp 142 to form a clearly visible bending path diagram, and then the height of the landing block 214 is adjusted to increase the spacing between the upper and lower groups of feeding rollers 213 to adapt to higher steel pipes. When the steel pipe is waiting to be bent, the steel pipe can be reheated by the electric heating wire 216 to improve the plasticity, and the rising landing block 214 will pull the lifting frame 222 and the top wheel 232 to rise together, and then the electromagnetic plate 236 will run to turn the NS pole, push the filling strip 234 to extend, and fill the gap between the top wheel 232 and the bottom wheel 231. At the same time, the spacing between the front and rear groups of moving frames 221 can be adjusted by rotating the first bidirectional screw rod 223 to adjust the width of the feeding area. In the bending area, the spacing between the upper and lower sets of first guide wheels 314 can be adjusted by rotating the second lifting screw 313, and the second bidirectional screw 322 can be rotated to drive the front and rear sets of moving rings 321 to move, thereby adjusting the spacing of the limit ring 323, so as to adapt to different types of steel pipes, and the spacing between the front and rear sets of mounting blocks 412 can be adjusted by rotating the third bidirectional screw 414, and the spacing between the lifting ring 422 and the bottom of the second guide wheel 413 can be adjusted by rotating the third lifting screw 423, so as to adapt to different types of steel pipes. Then, the steel pipe is transported by the feeding roller 213, and the path planning of the first guide wheel 314 and the second guide wheel 413 is carried out according to the prescribed path for moving and bending.

[0092] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered as the protection scope of the present invention. The structures, devices and operating methods not specifically described and explained in the present invention shall be implemented according to conventional means in the art unless otherwise specified and limited.
