Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of pipe expansion processing, and more particularly to an expansion machine for an exhaust pipe orifice. Background Art

[0002] The exhaust pipe is part of the engine's exhaust system, which mainly includes the exhaust manifold, exhaust pipe and muffler. The three-way catalytic converter, which is generally used to control engine pollutant emissions, is also installed in the exhaust system. The exhaust pipe generally includes the front exhaust pipe and the rear exhaust pipe. In the production of pipe fittings such as automobile exhaust pipes, the pipe ends need to be expanded. The pipe fittings are usually hollow thin metal tubes.

[0003] The shortcomings of the existing technology: before expanding the exhaust pipe, it is necessary to manually spray the lubricant on the expansion mold, and then perform the expansion process.

It is also difficult to evenly apply the lubricant to the expansion mold.

[0013] Technical effects and advantages of the present invention:

[0014] 1. The present invention allows lubricating liquid to enter the main flow channel, then into the branch flow channel through the main flow channel. The lubricating liquid then flows through the branch flow channel into the groove, filling the groove with lubricating liquid. As the expansion die moves backward, the inner wall of the expanded portion of the exhaust pipe body is completely exposed to the lubricating liquid. Simultaneously, the lubricating liquid continuously enters the chute through the groove, ensuring that lubricating liquid is always present between the exhaust pipe body and the expansion die as the expansion die moves backward. This reduces the friction that increases as the contact surface between the exhaust pipe body and the expansion die rises, effectively lubricating the exhaust pipe body, improving the smoothness of the expansion process, and enhancing the processing quality of the exhaust pipe body expansion.

[0015] 2. This invention creates a negative pressure in the vacuum chamber within the supply die. This negative pressure causes the expanded portion of the exhaust pipe body to spread outward, reducing the tightness of contact between the inner surface of the expanded portion of the exhaust pipe body and the outer surface of the expansion die. This allows the expansion die to be separated from the exhaust pipe body more smoothly. Furthermore, during demolding, the negative pressure allows the exhaust pipe body to be attached to the inner wall of the supply die. This allows the exhaust pipe body to be positioned for external shape during demolding, preventing deformation of the exhaust pipe body during demolding and improving the product qualification rate of the exhaust pipe body expansion operation.

At this time, the groove 803 will be filled with the lubricating liquid, and as the expansion mold 7 moves backward, the inner wall of the expanded part of the exhaust pipe body 6 can be completely contacted with the lubricating liquid, and at the same time, the lubricating liquid will continue to enter the inclined groove 804 through the groove 803, so that in the process of the expansion mold 7 moving backward, there is always lubricating liquid between the exhaust pipe body 6 and the expansion mold 7, which has a good lubricating effect on the exhaust pipe body 6, reduces the friction between the exhaust pipe body 6 and the expansion mold 7, improves the smoothness of the expansion processing of the exhaust pipe body 6, and improves the processing quality of the expansion of the exhaust pipe body 6;

[0037] After the expansion processing of the exhaust pipe body 6 is completed, the third hydraulic cylinder 1203 is controlled to operate. At this time, the output end of the third hydraulic cylinder 1203 will push the two pressure supply dies 1202 inward at the same time under the action of the connecting seat 1204, so that the pressure supply dies 1202 on the left and right sides are merged to wrap the expansion part of the exhaust pipe body 6. At the same time, under the action of the sealing gasket 1205, the sealing ring 1501 fits with the surface of the exhaust pipe body 6, so that the vacuum groove 1206 of the wrapped part of the exhaust pipe body 6 can be in a vacuum state. Then the pressure supply mechanism 13 is controlled to operate. At this time, the negative pressure pump 1301 is connected to the three-way pipe 1302, the connecting hose 1303, the shunt pipe 1304, the negative pressure pipe 1305, the mounting head 1307, the mounting port 1306 and the pressure supply mechanism 13. Under the action of the pressure hole 1207, the gas in the vacuum groove 1206 after the supply and pressure mold 1202 is merged is extracted, so that the vacuum groove 1206 is in a negative pressure state. At this time, under the action of the negative pressure environment, the expanded part of the exhaust pipe body 6 will tend to spread to the surrounding area, reducing the tightness of the inner surface of the expanded part of the exhaust pipe body 6 and the outer surface of the expansion mold 7 body, so that the expansion mold 7 is more comfortable when it is separated from the exhaust pipe body 6. At the same time, when the expansion mold 7 is demolded, the exhaust pipe body 6 can be adsorbed on the inner wall of the supply and pressure mold 1202 under the action of the negative pressure environment, and the shape of the exhaust pipe body 6 can be positioned when demolding, thereby avoiding deformation of the exhaust pipe body 6 during demolding, and improving the product qualification rate of the exhaust pipe body 6 expansion operation;

[0038] Finally, in the subsequent maintenance of the expansion mold 7, by pushing the push rod 1406 forward, the push rod 1406 will drive the slider 1404 to move forward. Since the rear end of the slider 1404 is tapered, after the slider 1404 moves forward, under the action of the tension spring 1409, the tension spring 1409 will pull the upper and lower positioning blocks 1408, so that the positioning blocks 1408 are moved out of the positioning groove 1410. At this time, the expansion mold 7 can be pushed backward, and the expansion mold 7 can be disassembled, which is convenient for maintenance and replacement of the expansion mold 7. When the expansion mold 7 needs to be reinstalled, the push rod 1406 is first pushed forward to drive the slider 1404 to move forward, so that the positioning blocks 1408 are retracted into the telescopic groove 1407, and then the expansion mold 7 is inserted into the guide column 1401. Under the action of the guide column 1401, the fixed expansion can be improved. The stability of the mold 7 is maintained, and then after the expansion mold 7 moves to the top of the guide column 1401, the positioning block 1408 will correspond to the position of the positioning groove 1410, and at the same time, under the action of the spring 1405, the spring 1405 will push the slider 1404 to move backward, and the slider 1404 moves backward and pushes the positioning block 1408 on the upper and lower sides, so that the positioning block 1408 is inserted into the positioning groove 1410, thereby achieving the effect of installing the expansion mold 7. At the same time, the sealing ring 1501 fixedly connected in the mounting groove 15 can fill the gap between the connecting column 302 and the expansion mold 7 after the expansion mold 7 is installed, thereby improving the sealing between the connecting channel 1004 and the main channel 801, and avoiding leakage at the connection between the connecting channel 1004 and the main channel 801 during the lubricating fluid transportation.
