Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of mechanical processing, and in particular to a circular pipe cutting and denting device and method. Background Art

[0002] In the development of modern industry, pipelines, as a very common mechanical component, play an indispensable role. They are widely used in various fields to realize the functions of transmission, distribution, collection and discharge of fluids (including gases and liquids). Pipeline systems can not only effectively connect the material flow paths between production equipment and ensure the smooth progress of production processes, but also are crucial for energy transportation (such as oil and natural gas), water supply and drainage engineering, chemical processing, food processing, pharmaceuticals, and HVAC.

[0003] The processing and production of pipes generally involves cutting. At the same time, sometimes in order to enhance the structural strength of the pipe (such as pressure resistance, torsion resistance and overall structural stability, etc.), or to improve the connection performance (such as easy disassembly and maintenance, making the connection between pipes tighter and more reliable, etc.), or for the purpose of aesthetic decoration, functional expansion, etc., the pipe will be dented during processing. Dimple refers to the process of processing a circular pipe through a specific mold or mechanical equipment to form a predetermined shape of depression on the surface of the circular pipe.

[0004] Taking HVAC technology as an example, the current cutting and denting process of circular pipes commonly used in air-conditioning systems involves a lot of manual operations, such as manually loading the incoming circular pipes one by one, manually cutting the pipes, and then the production line workers press down to form grooves based on their experience to complete the denting process. In this current production and processing method, a large number of handling and processing procedures rely on manual operations, resulting in high labor intensity for production line workers, low production efficiency, and major safety hazards. In addition, the processing accuracy is poor and errors are prone to occur, which will affect the cutting and denting quality, thereby affecting the performance of the circular pipes.

[0064] Specifically, Figures 1 to 6 The figure shows the structure diagram of the circular pipe cutting and denting device. Figures 7 to 9The circular pipe cutting and denting device is a schematic diagram of the use state; the circular pipe cutting and denting device comprises a first loading platform 2, a conveying mechanism 3, a cutting and denting mechanism 4 and a second loading platform 5, wherein:

[0065] The first loading platform 2 serves as a material storage area for the circular pipe 1 and can be used to place the circular pipe 1 to be processed;

[0067] The second loading platform 5 is used as a finished product storage area and can be used to place the processed circular pipes 1;

[0068] The conveying mechanism 3 serves as a transmission mechanism, which can be used to convey the circular pipe 1 to be processed on the first loading platform 2 to the cutting and embossing mechanism 4 for cutting and embossing, and can also convey the circular pipe 1 that has been processed in the cutting and embossing mechanism 4 to the second loading platform 5, thereby completing the material transmission from loading to unloading.

[0069] The circular pipe cutting and denting equipment adopting the above structure can realize full automated operation through the mutual cooperation among the first loading platform 2, the conveying mechanism 3, the cutting and denting mechanism 4 and the second loading platform 5, and complete the automatic loading, cutting, denting and unloading of the circular pipe 1 without manual handling and processing. Compared with the existing technology, it can reduce the labor intensity of production line workers, improve production efficiency, reduce safety hazards, improve processing accuracy, and improve production quality.

[0070] In some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the conveying mechanism 3 includes a material guiding component 31, a blocking component 32, a material pushing component 33 and a rotating component 34, wherein:

[0071] The material guide component 31 is disposed on a side close to the first material loading platform 2, specifically between the first material loading platform 2 and the rotating component 34, and can guide the circular pipe 1 to be processed on the first material loading platform 2 to the rotating component 34;

[0072] The blocking component 32 is disposed on the material guiding component 31, and can be disposed above, below, to the side or in the middle of the material guiding component 31, and is not limited here; the blocking component 32 can control that only one circular pipe 1 flows out from the first material loading platform 2 at a time and flows to the rotating component 34 through the material guiding component 31;

[0073] The pushing assembly 33 is arranged at the rotating assembly 34, and can be used to push the circular pipe 1, and push the circular pipe 1 in the rotating assembly 34 into the cutting and denting mechanism 4 for cutting and denting processing;

[0074] The rotating assembly 34 can control the circular pipe 1 to rotate along the axis to cooperate with the cutting and denting operations of the cutting and denting mechanism 4 .

[0075] The circular pipe cutting and denting equipment using the above structure can control only one circular pipe 1 to flow out from the first loading platform 2 at a time through the material guide component 31 and flow to the rotating component 34 through the material guide component 31, thereby achieving precise loading; the circular pipe 1 is pushed into the cutting and denting mechanism 4 through the pushing component 33, and the circular pipe 1 is rotated along the axis through the cooperation of the rotating component 34, thereby achieving precise cutting and denting; thereby, the processing accuracy can be improved, the production quality can be improved, and the whole process is stable and reliable.

[0076] In some embodiments, Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Fig. 9 , Fig.10 As shown, the material guiding component 31 includes at least two evenly distributed inclined plane brackets 311, and the blocking component 32 includes at least one lifting blocker 321 located between two adjacent inclined plane brackets 311; specifically, in this embodiment, the number of the inclined plane brackets 311 is seven, and the length of the conveying surface constituted by the whole is adapted to the length of the circular pipe 1, so as to stably support the circular pipe 1 and guide it to the rotating component 34; the number of the lifting blockers 321 is four, which are respectively located between the first and second, the third and fourth, the fourth and fifth, and the sixth and seventh inclined plane brackets 311, so as to stably block the circular pipe 1 from flowing into the rotating component 34; of course, in this embodiment, the number and distribution of the inclined plane brackets 311 and the lifting blockers 321 are only a display of a preferred implementation method, which can be adjusted according to the actual application needs and is not limited here.

[0077] The circular pipe cutting and denting equipment with the above structure, through the mutual cooperation of the inclined support 311 and the lifting blocker 321, the tops of the at least two evenly distributed inclined support 311 together constitute a conveying surface, which can realize the conveying of the circular pipe 1; when it is necessary to prevent the circular pipe 1 from continuing to be conveyed forward, the lifting blocker 321 will rise from under the conveying surface to form a physical obstacle to prevent the circular pipe 1 from moving forward; and when the circular pipe 1 is allowed to pass, the lifting blocker 321 will drop to a position flush with the conveying surface without hindering the normal conveying of the circular pipe 1; thereby, the conveying of the circular pipe 1 can be effectively controlled, ensuring that the circular pipe 1 is processed in a predetermined order and time, and improving the reliability of the circular pipe cutting and denting equipment.

[0078] In some embodiments, the lifting blocker 321 is a sloped lifting blocker, that is, the top of the lifting blocker 321 is designed as a slope, and its top is not lifted as a whole, but only the end with a higher slope can be lifted to achieve material blocking or passage; for example, in this embodiment, the top of the lifting blocker 321 is designed as a slope, and the end close to the first loading platform 2 is the end with a higher slope, which can be lifted; Fig. 9 As shown, the working principle of the lifting blocker 321 is as follows: when it is necessary to block the circular pipe 1, one end of the lifting blocker 321 close to the first loading platform 2 rises to form a slope, thereby preventing the circular pipe 1 from moving forward; and when it is necessary to allow the circular pipe 1 to pass, one end of the lifting blocker 321 close to the first loading platform 2 drops to be flush with the conveying surface, thereby making the top of the lifting blocker 321 become a flat state, thereby not hindering the normal transmission of the circular pipe 1.

[0079] In this embodiment, the sloped lifting blocker can be divided into two groups, and the two groups of sloped lifting blockers perform the actions of rising and falling in a staggered manner in a predetermined time sequence or logical order; for example, when the first group of sloped lifting blockers rises to block the circular pipe 1, the second group of sloped lifting blockers remains in a descending state; after a period of time, the first group of sloped lifting blockers descends to allow the circular pipe 1 to pass, and the second group of sloped lifting blockers rises to block the subsequent circular pipe 1; for example, in this embodiment, there are four sloped lifting blockers, two in each group. As a better implementation method, the first and fourth blocks can be grouped together, the second and third blocks can be grouped together, or the first and third blocks can be grouped together, and the second and fourth blocks can be grouped together to avoid the same group of sloped lifting blockers from leaning to one side and affecting the blocking effect; the specific number and distribution of sloped lifting blockers can be adjusted according to actual application conditions and are not limited here.

[0080] The circular pipe cutting and denting equipment adopts the above structure, and adopts a sloped lifting blocker as the blocker on the material guide component 31, which can help reduce the impact on the material during blocking and can effectively manage the material flow; at the same time, the sloped lifting blocker is divided into two groups, and the two groups of sloped lifting blockers are staggered to rise and fall in succession, which can control only one circular pipe 1 to flow out from the first loading platform 2 at a time and flow to the rotating component 34 through the material guide component 31, thereby avoiding the circular pipe 1 from accumulating or colliding on the inclined bracket 311, ensuring the smoothness and controllability of the flow of the circular pipe 1, and realizing precise loading.

[0081] In some embodiments, Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Fig. 9 , Fig.10 As shown, the pushing assembly 33 includes a pushing plate 331 and a pushing driving component 332; wherein, the pushing plate 331 is located at one end of the circular pipe 1 in the rotating assembly 34, and the pushing driving component 332 can drive the pushing plate 331 to move; driven by the pushing driving component 332, the circular pipe 1 can be pushed to move along the axial direction, so that the circular pipe 1 on the rotating assembly 34 can be pushed into the cutting and embossing mechanism 4 for cutting and embossing processing, and the processed circular pipe 1 is transferred to the second loading platform 5 to complete unloading; in this embodiment, the pushing driving component 332 is a rack motion module, and the pushing of the pushing plate 331 is driven by the rack motion module, thereby realizing the precise pushing of the circular pipe 1.

[0082] The circular pipe cutting and denting equipment adopting the above structure can stably and reliably realize the transmission of the circular pipe 1 between the rotating component 34, the cutting and denting mechanism 4 and the second loading platform 5 through the mutual cooperation of the pushing plate 331 and the pushing driving component 332. It also has a simple structure and is convenient for maintenance and replacement, which can improve the reliability of the circular pipe cutting and denting equipment.

[0083] In some embodiments, Fig.10 As shown, the rotating assembly 34 includes two sets of parallel universal Furley wheel modules 341 and a first rotating drive assembly 342; the universal Furley wheel module 341 includes a linear shaft and a plurality of universal Furley wheels mounted on the linear shaft, and the first rotating drive assembly 342 can control the universal Furley wheel module 341 to rotate along the axis; in addition, the spacing between the two sets of universal Furley wheel modules 341 is adapted to the circular pipe 1, as shown in FIG. Figure 8 , Fig. 9As shown, when the circular pipe 1 is located between the two sets of universal Furley wheel modules 341 , the circular pipe 1 can be driven to rotate along the axis by the rotation of the two sets of universal Furley wheel modules 341 .

[0084] The circular pipe cutting and denting equipment with the above structure uses the universal Furley wheel module 341 and the first rotary drive assembly 342 to control the circular pipe 1 to rotate along the axis, which can not only effectively reduce friction and protect the surface of the circular pipe 1, but also can be applied to circular pipes 1 of different sizes, has better flexibility, and can also improve processing accuracy and enhance safety.

[0085] In some embodiments, Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Fig.11 As shown, the cutting and embossing mechanism 4 includes a cutting hob 41, a embossing roller 42 and a second rotary drive assembly 43. The second rotary drive assembly 43 can drive the cutting hob 41 and the embossing roller 42 to rotate along the axis, thereby realizing the cutting and embossing operations on the circular pipe 1.

[0086] The circular pipe cutting and denting device with the above structure can stably and reliably implement the cutting and denting operations on the circular pipe 1 through the cutting hob 41, the denting roller 42 and the second rotary drive assembly 43, and has a simple structure and is easy to repair and replace.

[0087] In some embodiments, the cutting and embossing mechanism 4 further includes a second lifting component 44, and the second lifting component 44 can control the cutting roller 41 and the embossing roller 42 to move up and down.

[0088] The circular pipe cutting and denting equipment adopting the above structure can control the cutting hob 41 and the denting roller 42 to descend close to the circular pipe 1 during processing and rise away from the circular pipe 1 when not processing through the setting of the second lifting component 44, so as to avoid interference between parts; and the height of the cutting hob 41 and the denting roller 42 can be adjusted according to the circular pipes 1 of different sizes, and the downward pressure torque can be automatically adjusted to achieve precise cutting and denting of the circular pipe 1, which can increase the processing flexibility of the circular pipe cutting and denting equipment, improve the quality and make it safer and more reliable.

[0089] In some embodiments, Fig.11As shown, the second lifting assembly 44 includes a longitudinal linear guide 441, a U-shaped bracket 442 and a screw module 443; specifically, the cutting hob 41 and the embossing roller 42 are installed in the middle of the U-shaped bracket 442, and the U-shaped bracket 442 is slidably installed on the linear guide 441. Driven by the screw module 443, the U-shaped bracket 442 can move up and down along the linear guide 441, thereby driving the cutting hob 41 and the embossing roller 42 to also move up and down along the linear guide 441; in this embodiment, the linear guide 441 is a heavy-duty linear guide, which is more stable and reliable.

[0090] The circular pipe cutting and denting equipment with the above structure can not only realize the up and down lifting movement of the cutting hob 41 and the denting roller 42 through the mutual cooperation of the linear guide 441, the U-shaped bracket 442 and the screw module 443, but also is more stable and reliable.

[0091] In some embodiments, Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Fig.11 As shown, the cutting and embossing mechanism 4 further includes a support assembly 45. Specifically, the support assembly 45 is located below the cutting hob 41 and the embossing roller 42, and can stably support the circular pipe 1 during cutting and embossing processing.

[0092] The circular pipe cutting and denting device with the above structure can stably support the circular pipe 1 during cutting and denting processing through the arrangement of the support assembly 45, thereby further improving the reliability of the circular pipe cutting and denting device.

[0093] In some embodiments, the support assembly 45 includes two rollers 451 parallel to the axis of the circular pipe 1 , and the distance between the two rollers 451 is adapted to the circular pipe 1 , so as to stably support the circular pipe 1 .
