[0031] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.

[0032] Example 1

[0033] like Figures 1-5 As shown in the figure, a corrugated pipe planetary spiral grooving device includes:

[0034] The planetary gear mechanism has two sets. The planetary gear mechanism includes a planet carrier 1 driven to rotate by a power device, planetary gears 2 rotatably mounted on the planet carrier 1, and an internal gear ring 3 fixedly set. The planetary gears 2 mesh with the internal gear ring 3. There are three or four planetary gears 2. The planetary gears 2 are evenly distributed in the circumference. Each planetary gear 2 is mounted on a disc shaft 4. The disc shaft 4 is mounted on the planet carrier 1. The center of the planet carrier 1 is provided with a pipe cone 11 for the bellows 5 to pass through.

[0035] Each cutter head 6 has a cutter head 6 on each disc shaft 4. Each cutter head 6 has the same structure. The cutter head 6 has a spiral protrusion 61, an arc-shaped straight rib 62 and a transition protrusion 63 connecting adjacent arc-shaped straight ribs 62. All spiral protrusions 61 are on the same spiral. The spacing between two adjacent spiral protrusions 61 is equal. Only in one spiral turn, a grooving cutter is provided between two adjacent spiral protrusions 61 (the cutter head 6 has a cutter hole 64 for installing the grooving cutter). The number of arc-shaped straight ribs 62 is equal to the number of grooving cutters and their positions are corresponding. All arc-shaped straight ribs 62 are arranged in the same spiral direction and extend circumferentially.

[0036] When grooving the bellows 5, the bellows 5 passes through the tube cone, and the spiral protrusions 61 on the four cutter discs 6 extend into the troughs of the bellows 5. The power unit drives the planetary carrier 1 to rotate, and the planetary carrier 1 drives the planetary gear 2 to rotate on its own axis while simultaneously revolving around the internal gear ring 3. When the planetary gear 2 rotates, it drives the spiral protrusions 61 to rotate, and the spiral protrusions 61 drive the bellows 5 to feed axially. When rotating to the part between two spiral protrusions 61, at this time, since there is no spiral protrusion 61 driving, the bellows 5 cannot feed axially. The grooving cutter rotates and cuts the trough. One grooving cutter on each cutter disc 6 simultaneously cuts a groove on the same trough, completing one grooving operation. At the same time, the arc-shaped straight rib 62 corresponding to the position of the grooving cutter is stuck in a trough, axially positioning the bellows 5 and preventing the bellows 5 from moving axially, which would cause inaccurate grooving. Then the cutter head 6 continues to rotate. When it rotates to the position of the next spiral protrusion 61, the spiral protrusion 61 drives the bellows 5 to feed axially and perform the next grooving operation.

[0037] As planetary gear 2 revolves, the next slotting position is offset from the previous slotting position.

[0038] In the illustrated embodiment, the planetary gear mechanism has four planetary gears 2, and the axial distance between the two ends of each helical ridge 61 is twice the trough spacing of the bellows 5. Each rotation of a helical ridge 61 drives the bellows 5 to advance axially to two troughs, and four grooves are formed on each trough.

[0039] In the illustrated embodiment, the planetary carrier is a cross, and four disc shafts 4 are respectively installed at the four ends of the cross. The middle of the cross is provided with a pipe-passing cone 11 for the bellows 5 to pass through. Preferably, the pipe-passing cone 11 is a conical structure to facilitate the passage of the bellows 5.

[0040] The two crosses of the two planetary gear mechanisms are arranged opposite each other, and the disc shaft 4 is installed between the two crosses. The two planetary gear mechanisms are connected to form a whole, which has good motion stability. Moreover, both ends of the bellows 5 are supported, which provides good support and facilitates the axial feed of the bellows 5.

[0041] The transition ridge 63 is preferably spiral-shaped, and all transition ridges 63 are on the same spiral.

[0042] One of the crosses is fixed with a driven drive wheel 7, which meshes with a driving drive wheel 8. The driving drive wheel 8 is driven to rotate by a power device, and the driving drive wheel 8 drives the driven drive wheel 7 to rotate, which in turn drives the planetary carrier 1 to rotate.

[0043] Example 2

[0044] Example 2 is basically the same in structure and principle as Example 1, except that the axial distance between the two ends of the spiral ridge 61 is equal to the trough spacing of the bellows 5. Each time the spiral ridge 61 rotates, the bellows 5 is driven to advance axially into one trough, and each trough has four grooves.

[0045] Example 3

[0046] Example 3 is basically the same in structure and principle as Example 1, except that the planetary carrier 1 is provided with three planetary gears 2, and the axial distance between the two ends of each helical ridge 61 is twice the trough spacing of the bellows 5. Each rotation of a helical ridge 61 drives the bellows 5 to advance axially to two troughs, and three grooves are opened on each trough. The planetary carrier 1 is a Y-shaped carrier, and the three disc shafts 6 are respectively installed between the opposite ends of the two Y-shaped carriers.

[0047] Example 4

[0048] Example 3 is basically the same in structure and principle as Example 1, except that the planetary carrier 1 is provided with three planetary gears 2, and the axial distance between the two ends of the helical ridge 61 is equal to the trough spacing of the bellows 5. Each rotation of the helical ridge 61 drives the bellows 5 to advance axially into one trough, and each trough has three slots. The planetary carrier 1 is a Y-shaped carrier, and the three disc shafts 6 are respectively installed between the opposite ends of the two Y-shaped carriers.

[0049] Example 5

[0050] Example 5 is basically the same in structure and principle as Example 1, the only difference being:

[0051] A cutter head 6 is provided on each of the two disc shafts 4 located on a diagonal line;

[0052] Two guide discs are respectively provided on the two disc shafts 4 located on the other diagonal. The guide discs are provided with spiral protrusions 61, arc-shaped straight ribs 62 and transition protrusions 63 connecting adjacent arc-shaped straight ribs 62. All spiral protrusions 61 are on the same spiral, the distance between two adjacent spiral protrusions 61 is equal, and all arc-shaped straight ribs 62 are arranged along the same spiral direction.

[0053] The number of arc-shaped straight ribs 62 on the cutter head 6 and the number of arc-shaped straight ribs 62 on the guide plate are equal, and the arc-shaped straight ribs 62 on the cutter head 6 and the arc-shaped straight ribs 62 on the guide plate are set in a one-to-one correspondence. When an arc-shaped straight rib 62 on the cutter head 6 is inserted into the trough of the bellows, the corresponding arc-shaped straight rib 62 on the guide plate is also inserted into the trough of the bellows.

[0054] The axial distance between the two ends of the spiral ribs 61 on the cutter head 6 and the guide plate is twice the trough spacing of the bellows 5.

[0055] When slotting the bellows 5, the spiral protrusions 61 on the cutter head 6 and the guide plate extend into the troughs of the bellows 5, and simultaneously drive the bellows 5 to feed axially. Each time the spiral protrusion 61 is rotated, the bellows 5 is driven to feed axially into two troughs, and two slots are opened on each trough.

[0056] Example 6

[0057] Example 5 is basically the same in structure and principle as Example 1, the only difference being:

[0058] A cutter head 6 is provided on each of the two disc shafts 4 located on a diagonal line;

[0059] Two guide discs are respectively provided on the two disc shafts 4 located on the other diagonal. The guide discs are provided with spiral protrusions 61, arc-shaped straight ribs 62 and transition protrusions 63 connecting adjacent arc-shaped straight ribs 62. All spiral protrusions 61 are on the same spiral, and the distance between two adjacent spiral protrusions 61 is equal. The number of arc-shaped straight ribs 62 is equal to that of the grooving cutter and their positions are corresponding. All arc-shaped straight ribs 62 are arranged along the same spiral direction.

[0060] The number of arc-shaped straight ribs 62 on the cutter head 6 and the number of arc-shaped straight ribs 62 on the guide plate are equal, and the arc-shaped straight ribs 62 on the cutter head 6 and the arc-shaped straight ribs 62 on the guide plate are set in a one-to-one correspondence. When an arc-shaped straight rib 62 on the cutter head 6 is inserted into the trough of the bellows, the corresponding arc-shaped straight rib 62 on the guide plate is also inserted into the trough of the bellows.

[0061] The axial distance between the two ends of the spiral protrusions 61 on the cutter head 6 and the guide plate is equal to the trough spacing of the bellows 5.

[0062] When slotting the bellows 5, the spiral protrusions 61 on the cutter head 6 and the guide plate extend into the troughs of the bellows 5, and at the same time drive the bellows 5 to feed axially. Each time the spiral protrusion 61 is rotated, the bellows 5 is driven to feed axially into one trough, and two slots are opened on each trough.

[0063] The above are examples of the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and the parts not described in detail are common knowledge to those skilled in the art. The scope of protection of the present invention is determined by the content of the claims, and any equivalent modifications made based on the technical teachings of the present invention are also within the scope of protection of the present invention.
