[0025] The operating principle of the present invention is described as follows: the steel pipe to be straightened is inserted into the follower inner ring 51 (refer to Figure 1 The straightening roller assembly 4 is used to straighten the steel pipe. The straightening roller assembly 4 is used to straighten the steel pipe. The straightening roller assembly 4 is used to straighten the steel pipe. The straightening roller assembly 4 is used to straighten the steel pipe. The straightening roller assembly 4 is used to straighten the steel pipe. The straightening roller assembly 4 is used to straighten the steel pipe. The straightening roller assembly 4 is used to straighten the steel pipe. The straightening roller assembly 4 is used to straighten the steel pipe. The straightening roller assembly 4 is used to straighten the steel pipe. The straightening roller assembly 4 is used to straighten the steel pipe. The straightening roller assembly 4 is used to straighten the steel pipe. The straightening roller assembly 4 is used to straighten the steel pipe. The straightening roller assembly 4 is used to straighten the steel pipe. The straightening roller assembly 4 is used to straighten the steel pipe. The straightening roller assembly 4 is used to straighten the steel pipe. When the steel pipe is straightened, since the steel pipe passes through the follower inner ring 51, when the bending part of the steel pipe moves to the position of the follower inner ring 51, the follower inner ring 51 will move to one side under the pressure of the steel pipe movement. For example, the bending part of the steel pipe bends downward. When the bending part moves to the follower inner ring 51, the steel pipe bending downward will squeeze the position of the follower inner ring 51, so that the follower inner ring 51 moves downward synchronously. Similarly, when the steel pipe bends in other directions, the follower inner ring 51 will also move synchronously, and the follower inner ring 51 will drive the magnetic ring 58 to move synchronously through the follower outer ring 53, so the magnetic ring 5 The relative position between the magnetic ring 58 and the fixed ring 57 will produce relative displacement due to the bending part of the steel pipe. When the magnetic ring 58 moves to one side, the magnetic attraction force on the side iron block 113 becomes larger due to the approach of the magnetic ring 58. Therefore, the side iron block 113 will drive the U-shaped insulating block 115 to move synchronously through the magnetic isolation block 112, so that the conductive ring 116 moves in the direction close to the follower inner ring 51, and the greater the bending angle, the greater the displacement distance of the conductive ring 116. When the conductive ring 116 moves in the direction of the follower inner ring 51, the resistance rod 117 is connected to the connection circuit between the conductive ring 116 and the DC air pump 61. The length of the resistor rod 117, the conductive ring 116 and the DC air pump 61 is shortened, and therefore, the resistance of the overall connection loop of the resistor rod 117, the conductive ring 116 and the DC air pump 61 is reduced, and the current intensity passed into the DC air pump 61 is increased synchronously (wherein, when the follower inner ring 51 is in the original position, the distance between the magnetic ring 58 and each iron block 113 is equal, and under the action of the spring 114, each conductive ring 116 is at the end of the resistor rod 117 away from the follower inner ring 51. When the follower inner ring 51 moves with the curved part of the steel pipe, the magnetic ring 58 moves synchronously. At this time, the distance between the magnetic ring 58 and the iron block 113 in the moving direction is reduced, so the iron block in this direction The magnetic attraction force of the magnetic attraction ring 58 becomes larger, so the conductive ring 116 at this position will move outward because the iron block 113 is attracted, and for the iron block 113 at the position where the magnetic attraction ring 58 is far away, since the magnetic attraction ring 58 is far away, the magnetic attraction force of the magnetic attraction ring 58 on the iron block 113 at this position becomes weaker, so the iron block 113 will not move, and the conductive ring 116 at this position will not move either. Therefore, only the position of the conductive ring 116 at a position close to the magnetic attraction ring 58 will change, resulting in a shortened length of the connection loop between the resistor rod 117 at this position and the conductive ring 116 and the DC air pump 61); After the control cabinet 2 is started, the DC air pump 61 will be synchronously controlled to work. Since the DC air pump 61 is connected in series with the resistor rod 117 and the conductive ring 116, the greater the bending angle of the steel pipe, the greater the current intensity passed into the DC air pump 61. At this time, the output power of the DC air pump 61 is greater, so the more air flow is discharged through the detection tube 62, so the gas flow monitored by the gas flow meter 63 is greater, and the airflow discharged through the detection tube 62 will be discharged into the hollow plate 71 through the connecting tube 73, and ejected through each heat dissipation hole 72. The ejected airflow will be blown to the surface of the straightening roller assembly 4, so as to take away the heat on the surface of the straightening roller assembly 4. Since the straightening roller assembly 4 generates heat under the action of friction when straightening the steel pipe, the straightening roller assembly 4 will be subjected to friction after the temperature rises, and it is more susceptible to wear. Therefore, by assisting the straightening roller assembly 4 to cool down, the straightening roller assembly 4 can be protected to a certain extent. The steel pipe that has just been straightened will enter between each arc-shaped constraint strip 91 from the discharge end of the straightening roller assembly 4, and after the steel pipe is separated from the straightening roller assembly 4, the proximity switch 96 will detect that the steel pipe is in place, and the control cabinet 2 will control the straightening roller assembly 4 to suspend work. At the same time, the control cabinet 2 controls each electric hydraulic cylinder 92 to work for 2 seconds at a time, so that each arc-shaped constraint strip 91 moves toward each other. After the electric hydraulic cylinder 92 finishes working, each arc-shaped constraint strip 91 will be against the outer wall of the straightened steel pipe and enclose and constrain the steel pipe. Subsequently, the control cabinet 2 will control each strip heater 94 to work, and the strip heater 94 will heat the steel pipe. The gas flow meter 63 will convert the measured flow value into an electrical signal and output it to the control Control cabinet 2 (electrical signal is in the range of 4mA to 20mA), the larger the flow value, the greater the corresponding electric signal strength, when the bending angle of the steel pipe before straightening is larger, after being straightened by the straightening roller assembly 4, the greater the possibility of re-bending, and the larger the corresponding airflow flow value, the greater the electric signal strength obtained by the control cabinet 2, at this time, the control cabinet 2 controls each arc-shaped constraint strip 91 to constrain the steel pipe for a longer time, and controls the strip heater 94 to heat the higher temperature (the control cabinet 2 establishes the relationship between the electric signal strength and time and temperature, and can directly control the corresponding constraint time and heating temperature according to the electric signal strength, and this relationship can be measured in advance by testing the same specifications and materials under the same conditions); In the process of restraining the steel pipe, the control cabinet 2 controls the electric push rod 102 to work for 5 seconds, so that the cylinder 104 enters the interior of the steel pipe. Then, the control cabinet 2 starts the rotation drive component 105 and controls each electromagnetic push rod 107 to work at a frequency of power on for 1 second and power off for 2 seconds. The rotation drive component 105 can drive the cylinder 104 to rotate (the rotation drive component 105 includes components such as a motor, a drive rod, and a coupling). After the electromagnetic push rod 107 is powered on, it will push the arc-shaped impact block 108 on the same side toward the direction of the steel pipe. Move and hit the steel pipe, and each electromagnetic push rod 107 is intermittently energized, so it can cooperate with the rotation to hit the steel pipe at a certain frequency. The vibration generated can refine the stress release area. After the steel pipe is heated, the yield strength is reduced, the atomic activity is intensified, and the stress is easier to redistribute. At the same time, the arc-shaped constraint strip 91 evenly supports the steel pipe to ensure that it is vibrated in a stable form. The vibration is combined with heating to allow the stress to be quickly and evenly dispersed within a controllable range. With the synergistic effect of the constraint, the stress of the steel pipe can be quickly released, the resilience of the steel pipe is suppressed, and the straightness of the steel pipe is guaranteed. Among them, the heating time of the strip heater 94 is 1 minute. After working for 1 minute, the strip heater 94 stops working. Then, the control cabinet 2 controls the normally open solenoid valve 14 and the normally closed solenoid valve 13 to work. At this time, the airflow will enter the hollow block 15 through the shunt pipe 12, and enter the hollow strip 17 through the exhaust pipe 16, and finally spray out through each jet hole 18, so that the steel pipe can be cooled. Until the constraint time is reached, the control cabinet 2 controls the DC air pump 61, the normally open solenoid valve 14, and the normally closed solenoid valve 13 to stop working, and then the control cabinet 2 records the flow value of the gas flow meter 63, and resets the counting data of the gas flow meter 63 to zero. Then, the control cabinet 2 controls each electric hydraulic cylinder 92 to perform a timed return work. At this time, the personnel The straightened steel pipe can be removed and the next steel pipe can be straightened. During the straightening process, the control cabinet 2 will add together the values ​​measured by the gas flow meter 63 each time and display the accumulated gas flow. Since the straightening roller assembly 4 will be affected by the wear of the steel pipe, and the greater the bending angle of the steel pipe, the greater the friction force it is subjected to, and the faster the wear increases, and the change in gas flow is based on the bending degree of the steel pipe, when the accumulated gas flow reaches the preset value (for example, the gas flow reaches 10,000 m³), ​​the control cabinet 2 will remind the personnel to perform maintenance on the straightening roller assembly 4 through its own alarm module, such as checking whether the wear between the rollers affects the straightening accuracy, and adding lubricating oil to the bearings of the rollers, etc.; Among them, the length of the mounting tube 8 is 1.5 meters. The number of mounting tubes 8 and hydraulic constraint units 9 can be increased according to the length of the steel pipe to be straightened. Multiple mounting tubes 8 are fixed together in series to meet different steel pipe straightening requirements. In order to improve work efficiency, the mounting tube 8 and the hydraulic constraint unit 9 inside it can be set into multiple groups, and the multiple groups of mounting tubes 8 and hydraulic constraint units 9 are driven by the driving member to switch in the front and rear directions. For example, after the straightening roller assembly 4 straightens a steel pipe, the corresponding hydraulic constraint unit 9 constrains and eliminates stress on the steel pipe, and then the mounting tube 8 and hydraulic constraint unit 9 are switched by the driving member. At this time, the straightening roller assembly 4 can continue to straighten the next steel pipe, saving time and improving work efficiency (when setting multiple groups of mounting tubes 8 and hydraulic constraint units 9, the number and material of the exhaust pipe 16 need to be designed accordingly, and an electric control valve should be set at the exhaust to accommodate multiple mounting tubes 8). Secondly, the follower inner ring The support frame 56 is used to support the fixing ring 57 and is not connected to the following inner ring 51 and the following outer ring 53. When not working normally, under the action of the gravity of the following outer ring 53 and the following inner ring 51, the following outer ring 53 is located at the lower inner side of the fixing ring 57. Therefore, when in use, the following outer ring 53 needs to be extracted upward to facilitate the insertion of the steel pipe. In order to improve the convenience of use, an elastic telescopic frame (not shown in the figure) can be set between the following outer ring 53 and the base 1. The elastic telescopic frame can be used to support the following outer ring 53 so that the following outer ring 53 can remain coaxial with the fixing ring 57 when not in use. Due to the telescopic performance of the elastic support frame, it will not affect the synchronous displacement of the following outer ring 53 with the bending part of the steel pipe.
