[0030] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] See also Figure 1-6 A method for manufacturing a metal tube profile comprises the following steps:

[0032] S1. Pickling and phosphating of substrate: Use metal round tube as substrate for pickling and phosphating to remove surface rust impurities and form a dense phosphating film on the surface to obtain a clean, smooth, wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant surface;

[0033] S2, cold drawing and forming of round tube heading and rolling; the head of the metal round tube is headed or rolled to make the head of the metal round tube smaller so that the head to be clamped can pass through the cavity of the forming mold, and then the head is clamped by a chuck and pulled through the forming mold to form a concave profile 1 with a groove 2 on the wall;

[0034] S3, annealing to eliminate residual stress; the cold-drawn profile 1 is heated to 550°C-650°C, kept for 2-4 hours and then naturally cooled to complete annealing. After the residual stress is eliminated, the profile 1 is not easy to bend and deform;

[0035] S4, a group of cold-drawn nesting doll-type profiles 1; according to the process of steps S1-S3, multiple sets of profiles 1 of different sizes are cold-drawn, and the profiles 1 are assembled in a nesting doll-type manner, and an assembly gap is reserved between the profiles 1;

[0036] S5, the profile 1 is provided with an assembly hole; a through hole 3 and a screw hole 6 are provided at the groove 2 on the wall of the profile 1 where a hole needs to be opened. When the through hole 3 needs to be converted into a screw hole 6, a rivet nut 4 is drawn inside the through hole 3 to convert the through hole 3 into a screw hole 6 for use;

[0037] S6, assembling the profile 1; fixing the profile 1 to the profile 1 or the profile 1 to other parts together with the screw 5 through the through hole 3 and the screw hole 6, which can replace the welding process.

[0038] As a specific technical solution of this embodiment, in S1, the metal round tube is first immersed in a phosphoric acid pickling solution for pickling to remove rust and impurities from the surface. The phosphoric acid pickling solution reacts with the oxide on the surface of the metal round tube to remove rust and impurities on the surface of the metal round tube, and then the metal round tube is cleaned with clean water. Phosphoric acid pickling can remove oxides, rust and dirt on the metal surface, making the surface clean and smooth, thereby improving the brightness of the surface, and can remove oxides on the metal surface, making the metal surface more active, thereby improving the adhesion of subsequent coatings or adhesives, and ensuring that the coatings or adhesives can be firmly attached to the metal surface.

[0039] As a specific technical solution of this embodiment, in S1, the metal round tube that has been cleaned with clean water is quickly placed in the phosphating solution. The phosphoric acid in the phosphating solution can react with the metal ions on the surface of the metal round tube to form a dense, stable and non-oxidizable phosphating film, thereby improving the corrosion resistance and wear resistance of the metal round tube. The phosphating treatment can form a protective film on the metal surface, which can effectively isolate the metal from direct contact with the external environment, thereby preventing the metal from being corroded and extending its service life. The phosphating layer can play a lubricating role, reduce the friction and wear of the metal during use, and improve the processing efficiency and product quality. The metal surface after phosphating treatment is usually smoother and more uniform, and the appearance quality is improved, which increases the aesthetics of the product.

[0040] As a specific technical solution of this embodiment, in S1, a surface adjuster is added to the phosphating solution, and the surface adjuster performs surface passivation treatment on the surface of the metal round tube to form a dense oxide film on the metal surface. The surface adjuster can eliminate impurities that may be brought in during the pretreatment of the metal surface, so that the phosphating film can be crystallized in a favorable direction, thereby reducing the consumption of the phosphating solution and the consumption of the accelerator. In the surface adjustment process before phosphating, the surface adjuster is adsorbed on the metal surface in the form of particles to form a layer of evenly distributed and large number of phosphating crystal nuclei. These crystal nuclei can limit the growth of large crystals, promote the fine and uniform crystallization of the phosphating film, improve the quality of the phosphating film, eliminate the effect of surface coarsening, and improve the uniformity of surface activity, so that the metal surface is more suitable for subsequent coating treatment. Phosphoric acid pickling solution, phosphating solution and surface adjuster are all common metal treatment materials on the market.

[0041] As a specific technical solution of this embodiment, in S2, the heading of the metal round tube is performed by an air hammer, and the pressing head of the metal round tube is performed by a mold, so that the head of the metal round tube becomes smaller so that the head to be clamped can pass through the molding mold cavity, which is convenient for the clamping tube to be pulled out on the other side.

[0042] As a specific technical solution of this embodiment, in S2, the metal round tube slowly passes through the forming die to form the metal round tube into a concave profile 1 with a groove 2 on the wall. The cold drawing forming operation needs to be performed two or three times to make the profile 1 more accurate in size and more rounded. When the metal round tube is cold drawn, in order to make the size more accurate and the rounded corners more in place, two or three cold drawing shaping operations are required to obtain a profile 1 with clear edges and corners and accurate size.

[0043] As a specific technical solution of this embodiment, in S6, the combination of profile 1 and profile 1 can generate a new profile or connecting piece.

[0044] As a specific technical solution of this embodiment, in S4, the outer length and width of the small profile 1 is slightly smaller than the inner length and width of the large profile 1, and the slightly smaller part is the reserved assembly gap, for example, the inner diameter-outer diameter: 22mm-33mm, 34mm-50mm, 51mm-80mm, 81mm-120mm, etc.; two, three or more groups of profiles 1 can be pulled out as needed, see Figure 3-6 , multiple groups of profiles 1 of different sizes can be connected in nesting doll style, horizontal, vertical, and columnar forms.

[0045] As a specific technical solution of the present embodiment, in the S5, the groove 2 on the wall of the profile 1 can bury the screw head of the screw 5, and can also bury the part joint connected to the profile 1, and the profile 1 has four faces, and the four faces of the profile 1 can open through holes 3 or screw holes 6 of different shapes and sizes. The sizes of the through holes 3 are different, and the actual size of the through holes 3 can be determined according to the specifications of the selected screws 5 or other fasteners. The rivet nut 4 is riveted inside the through hole 3, and the screw 5 can be screwed into the rivet nut 4 to fix the screw 5. At the same time, the screw head of the screw 5 is completely sunk into the inside of the groove 2 after being installed in place, and does not protrude from the wall of the profile 1. It is not easy to be scratched, and it is not easy to be loosened by collision, and the stability is further improved.

[0046] As a specific technical solution of this embodiment, in S6, when connecting profile 1 to profile 1 or connecting profile 1 to other parts, a screw 5 is passed through the through hole 3 on the profile 1 and then screwed to the screw hole 6 on another profile 1 or other parts, so as to complete the horizontal and vertical connection between profile 1 and profile 1 or profile 1 and other parts, and realize welding-free connection. When profile 1 is connected to other parts, such as when profile 1 is used as the four corner columns of a cabinet, the side panels and door panels of the cabinet are installed between two adjacent profiles 1, and the ends of the side panels or door panels can be embedded in the groove 2 and fixed by screws 5, so that the appearance of the assembled cabinet is more beautiful and the structural strength is greatly improved.

[0047] At the same time, the anti-pry function of the side panels or door panel ends has been added, which makes it safer to use. In this way, various cabinets, wardrobes, shelves, tables, houses, guardrails and stands can be quickly assembled without welding or grinding; modern workshop structures, military and disaster relief bridges and roads, tents with high support strength, home appliances, auto parts and other products; it can meet the needs of various DIY homemade assembly of various products.

[0048] At the same time, it can replace wooden products, increase strength and fire resistance; it is convenient to change traditional welded products into detachable products, greatly reduce packaging volume, greatly reduce storage and transportation costs, and provide solutions for extra-long and extra-wide products. This welding-free and grinding-free process protects the health of workers and the environment.

[0049] To sum up, the manufacturing method of the metal tube profile 1, after the profile 1 is treated by pickling and phosphating of the base material, cold drawing of the round tube heading and rolling, and annealing to eliminate residual stress, the overall strength, corrosion resistance and wear resistance of the profile 1 are greatly improved. The design of the grooves 2 on the four sides of the profile 1 allows multiple groups of profiles 1 of different sizes to be connected in a nesting, horizontal, vertical and columnar manner, meeting the assembly requirements of the profile 1 in different application scenarios. The welding-free and grinding-free design changes the traditional welded products into detachable products, greatly reducing the packaging volume and greatly reducing the storage and transportation costs. At the same time, it provides solutions for extra-long and extra-wide products. There is no need to use welding equipment on the construction site, and the working environment is healthier.
