Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of aerospace vehicles, and in particular to a small bending radius pipe push-bending device and a use method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The layout space of aerospace vehicles, especially launch vehicles, is becoming more and more compact, and the layout options are becoming less and less. For the design of the pipeline system, the smaller the relative bending radius R / D (R is the bending radius of the bend, and D is the outer diameter of the bend) of the pipe bending parts (R / D≤1.5), the longer the straight section, the more effective it is to reduce the number of welds, and the more valuable it is. Especially in the design of the booster transmission system pipeline, in order to save space and reduce welds, thin-walled small bending radius conduit elbows are widely used. The use of thin-walled (t<1.5mm) small bending radius pipes can greatly save space and reduce the weight of the pipeline system. This advantage is particularly important for the pipeline system of the launch vehicle, especially for the extremely small bending radius bends (R / D≈1), which also increase year by year, resulting in the increasing difficulty of manufacturing such products in actual production. At present, the production of such conduits adopts the process of half-tube welding + straight pipe butt welding, and the process is heavily dependent on manual operation. A large number of complex conduits rely solely on manual repair, welding, assembly and other work. This operation mode has low manufacturing efficiency, low product quality stability, long processing cycle (more than 15 hours), and high processing cost, which affects the progress of aerospace product development and production.

[0003] After investigation, it is found that currently small bending radius tubes can be processed by push bending technology. Push bending forming operation is simple and convenient, and has a significant effect in forming small bending radius tubes, especially in avoiding thinning of the outer side of the tube when it is bent. The bending radius can reach less than 1D. However, for the push bending forming process, increasing the length of the straight section becomes the biggest difficulty. Generally, the length of the straight section L is within 1D. When the straight section is further increased, it is easy to have thinning and cracking on the outer side, wrinkling on the inner side, and cross-sectional distortion defects.

[0004] The invention patent (publication number CN114346026A) invented a push bending device, which uses the friction generated by the contact between the tube blank and the bending die rotating wheel to reduce the defects of thickening and wrinkling on the inner side of the bending part of the bent tube, but cannot solve the defects of thinning and cracking on the outer side, and the quality of the finished product is not high enough.

[0005] The invention patent (publication number CN110814121B) invented a small bending radius push-bending method for small diameter tubes and small diameter tubes. The method mainly uses low-melting point metal as a filling medium for push-bending of small diameter tubes. During the push-bending process, a partition needs to be set to isolate the low-melting point metal from the tube blank. The metal needs to be heated and separated later, but the filling effect is not flexible enough.

[0006] The invention patent (publication number CN100384558C) invented a thin-walled tube variable curvature push-bending process and mold. This method uses a hydraulic press as a loading method. There is no filling medium inside the tube during the push-bending process, and it is not suitable for tubes with high precision requirements.

[0007] The invention patent (publication number CN109158458B) invented a method for hydraulic bending of pipes using a composite filling medium. This method uses a composite method of filling a polyurethane ring inside the pipe and the action of liquid, and adopts a press bending process for forming. However, the polyurethane ring filling is prone to produce local hanging areas, which is not suitable for pipes with small bending radius.

Under the existing process constraints, this application combines push-bending forming with liquid filling forming technology. First, the inside of the pipe is filled and compacted by a rubber ball 8, and the force is evenly applied during the push-bending process. Then, pressurized bulging is achieved by filling liquid, and the surface of the bent pipe is molded and shaped.

The length L of the straight section is increased from 1D to 2-3D.

[0049] The inner cavity profile of the curved section of the guide sleeve 4 only includes the outer curved profile. The outer friction coefficient of the inner cavity profile of the guide sleeve 4 is 0.8, and the inner friction coefficient is 1.6, which produces differential lubrication. The inner cavity profile of the guide sleeve 4 is designed and arranged on the straight section and the outer side of the bend, and the roughness is processed to 0.8, which effectively reduces the friction coefficient of the straight section and the outer side of the pipe during the bending process, realizes differential friction, and increases the effective length of the straight section.

The hydraulic booster 12 can linearly adjust the internal pressure P of the pipe to control the internal support force of the pipe during the bending process.

[0054] The lower sealing member comprises a rubber block which is installed inside the lower end of the straight pipe and is sealingly connected to the straight pipe.

[0057] This application uses the method of "rubber ball 8 + hydraulic filling gap" to increase the support pressure inside the pipe, thereby increasing the rigidity of the straight section of the pipe, effectively preventing instability and wrinkling during the bending process, and increasing the straight section length L from 1D to 2-3D.

[0058] The present application reduces the friction coefficient of the straight section of the pipe by adopting the form of differential friction, differentially adjusts the friction coefficient of the inner and outer sides of the bend, increases the length of the straight section and achieves uniform force during the bending process.

[0059] The present application uses liquid filling to form, which can realize pressurized expansion of the pipe after push-bending by filling it with liquid. The structure of the rubber ball 8 is adopted, the filling effect is better, and it is not easy to produce a hanging area. The surface of the bent pipe is molded and shaped, which improves the mold accuracy of the part after forming, reduces the springback of the part, and realizes high-precision processing.
