For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood by specific circumstances.

[0039] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention can be implemented in many different ways as defined and covered by the claims.

[0040] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 11 The present application is further described in detail as shown.

[0041] The present application embodiment discloses a pipe cold forming die. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7A pipe cold forming mold comprises a lower die base 1, wherein the four corners of the upper surface of the lower die base 1 are fixedly connected with guide columns 11, the top ends of the four guide columns 11 are commonly fixedly connected with a top plate 12, the bottom of the top plate 12 is fixedly connected with a hydraulic press 13, the bottom end of the hydraulic press 13 is fixedly connected with an upper die base 14, the bottom of the upper die base 14 is fixedly connected with a punch 15, the top of the lower die base 1 is fixedly connected with a die 16, the upper surface of the die 16 is provided with a die cavity 17, the interior of the die 16 is provided with a material ejection mechanism 2, and both sides of the upper surface of the die 16 are provided with fixing mechanisms 3; by providing the material ejection mechanism 2, it is convenient to unload the pipe after cold forming, and by providing the fixing mechanism 3, the pipe can be limited after being placed, and at the same time, by elastic limiting, interference caused by applying pressure to the pipe can be avoided;

[0042] The ejection mechanism 2 includes an ejection groove 21, which is opened at the inner bottom end of the mold cavity 17. The inner cavity of the ejection groove 21 is provided with a lifting plate 22, a rack plate 23 and a gear 24. The rack plate 23 and the gear 24 are meshingly connected. A rotating rod 25 is fixedly sleeved inside the gear 24. The rotating rod 25 and the die 16 are rotatably connected. A micro motor 26 is fixedly connected to one side of the die 16. The output end of the micro motor 26 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating rod 25. When unloading is required, the micro motor 26 is turned on to drive the rotating rod 25 to rotate, and then under the connection of the gear 24, the rack plate 23 and the ejection plate 22 can move upward, so that the pipe fittings in the mold cavity 17 can be ejected to complete the unloading.

[0043] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 The fixing mechanism 3 includes two positioning plates 31, and the two positioning plates 31 are fixedly connected to the top of the die 16. The opposite sides of the two positioning plates 31 are fixedly connected with springs 32, and one end of the spring 32 is fixedly connected with a clamping plate 33. When placing the pipe fitting, by placing the pipe fitting on the inner side of the two clamping plates 33, the elastic force of the spring 32 can achieve quick fixation of the pipe fitting.

[0044] Reference Figure 3 The bottom thread of the rack plate 23 is connected with a bolt 29, and the rack plate 23 is detachably connected to the lifting plate 22 through the bolt 29, which is convenient for disassembling and replacing the lifting plate 22 or the rack plate 23. The depth value of the ejection groove 21 is the sum of the height values ​​of the lifting plate 22 and the rack plate 23. When pressure is applied to the pipe fitting, the bottom of the rack plate 23 contacts the bottom end of the inner cavity of the ejection groove 21, which can ensure that the lifting plate 22 fits the bottom of the inner cavity of the mold cavity 17, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the pipe fitting after forming.

[0045] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 5A positioning bolt 210 is threadedly sleeved on one side of the die 16, and a limiting slide groove 211 is provided on one side of the rack plate 23. The bottom of the positioning bolt 210 passes through the interior of the limiting slide groove 211. A threaded groove 212 is provided on one side of the die 16. The positioning bolt 210 is threadedly sleeved on the interior of the threaded groove 212. The bottom of the positioning bolt 210 contacts the side wall of the limiting slide groove 211. By setting the positioning bolt 210, when the rack plate 23 moves upward, the positioning bolt 210 can slide in the limiting slide groove 211, which can play a limiting role and prevent the rack plate 23 from detaching from the inside of the ejection groove 21.

[0046] The cooling device 4 includes a box body 401, a pipe conveying roller mechanism 402 and a pipe cutting knife mechanism 403. The pipe conveying roller mechanism 402 and the pipe cutting knife mechanism 403 are both arranged in the box body 401. The pipe cutting knife mechanism 403 is arranged at one end of the pipe conveying roller mechanism 402. A guide plate 405 is arranged between the other end of the pipe conveying roller mechanism 402 and the die 16. A spray cooling mechanism 404 is arranged on the upper part of the pipe conveying roller mechanism 402.

[0047] The spray cooling mechanism 404 is provided with a plurality of spray heads 406, and the plurality of spray heads 406 are connected to a water inlet pipe 407. A water collecting tank 408 is provided at the bottom of the box body 401, and the water collecting tank 408 is externally connected to a drainage pipe 409. The water inlet pipe 407 is externally connected to a water pump and a cold water tank, and the plurality of spray heads 406 below the spray cooling mechanism 404 spray cool the pipe 5.

[0048] The pipe cutting knife mechanism 403 includes a bracket 410 and a cutting electric cylinder 411 . The cutting electric cylinder 411 is installed on the bracket 410 , and a cutting knife 412 is fixed to the output end of the cutting electric cylinder 411 .

[0049] Working principle: When cold-pressing the pipe fitting, first clamp the two ends of the pipe fitting on the inner side of the two clamping plates 33 respectively and fix them by the spring 32; then turn on the hydraulic press 13 to drive the upper die seat 14 to move downward, and the punch 15 contacts and squeezes the pipe fitting downward, so that the pipe fitting can be bent to the inner wall of the mold cavity 17 and formed; when the pipe fitting is formed, the hydraulic press 13 drives the upper die seat 14 to move upward to the initial position, and then turn on the micro motor 26 to drive the rotating rod 25 to rotate, and then under the connection of the gear 24, the rack plate 23 and the lifting plate 22 can be moved upward, so that the pipe fitting in the mold cavity 17 can be ejected to complete the unloading. In addition, because when the pipe fitting is squeezed, the force on the pipe fitting acts entirely on the lifting plate 22 and the rack plate 23, and does not affect the gear 24, the rotating rod 25 and the micro motor 26, so the service life of the gear 24, the rotating rod 25 and the micro motor 26 can be greatly increased.

[0050] The bottom of the clamping plate 33 contacts the top of the die 16 , and the top of the clamping plate 33 is arranged in an arc shape. By setting the top of the clamping plate 33 in an arc shape, it is convenient to quickly clamp the pipe fitting into the inner side of the two clamping plates 33 for fixation.

[0051] Two arc-shaped grooves 27 are provided at the inner bottom end of the mold cavity 17, and an arc-shaped plate 28 is movably sleeved inside the arc-shaped groove 27. The two arc-shaped plates 28 are respectively fixedly connected to the two sides of the lifting plate 22. By providing two arc-shaped plates 28, the contact area with the pipe fitting can be increased when the pipe fitting is ejected, thereby facilitating the ejection of the pipe fitting.

[0052] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and the above embodiments and descriptions are only for explaining the principles of the present invention. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, the present invention may have various changes and improvements, and these changes and improvements all fall within the scope of the present invention to be protected.
