Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of equipment for manufacturing metal tubes by drawing, and more specifically to a cold drawing apparatus for producing seamless steel tubes. Background Technology
[0002] Cold drawing is a type of cold working, which involves forcibly shaping metal at room temperature using force. In the production of seamless steel pipes, a cold drawing device is used to elongate the pipe. Before cold drawing, the pipe, conforming to specifications, is typically pre-treated in a rotating pre-treatment device. This pre-treatment involves thinning the front end of the pipe to allow it to fit into the small-diameter mold of the cold drawing device. After pre-treatment, lubricant is applied to the surface of the pipe to prevent hard tearing during the cold drawing process. The thinned end is then inserted into the mold, and a drawing carriage grasps the end protruding from the mold, pulling it outwards. After cold drawing, the thinned end is sawed off, and the pipe is then sent to a degreasing device. During the production process described above, the horizontal tension extends the length of the seamless steel pipe, while the vertical pressure exerted by the mold on the seamless steel pipe reduces its cross-sectional area. Meanwhile, the friction between the seamless steel pipe and the mold removes the oxides from the surface of the seamless steel pipe.
[0003] It is evident that using existing cold drawing equipment for seamless steel pipes requires both pretreatment and cold drawing devices. The seamless steel pipes need to be moved and transferred during operation, making the process cumbersome and resulting in low cold drawing efficiency. Furthermore, applying lubricant is done by workers, which is time-consuming and the application is not precise, further reducing cold drawing efficiency and potentially affecting product accuracy.
[0004] Therefore, existing cold drawing devices suffer from low efficiency. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a cold drawing device for producing seamless steel pipes with higher efficiency.

The driving plate is fixedly connected to the second slider at the bottom of the cold drawing mold 5. The left and right sliding of the driving plate is achieved by changing the length of the telescopic end of the first telescopic member 6, thereby driving the pretreatment mold 4 and the cold drawing mold 5 to slide.
[0052] like Figure 8 , Figure 9 , Figure 10 , Figure 11 , Figure 12 , Figure 13 , Figure 14 , Figure 15As shown, the pretreatment mold 4 includes a fixed frame 8 and an annular column 401 rotatably mounted in the fixed frame 8. The fixed frame 8 includes two parallel square plates, which are fixedly connected by four connecting rods. Each square plate has a guide hole at its center corresponding to the forming holes of the two molds.

After the second snap-fit block snaps into the first snap-fit block, it is further connected by bolts. A toothed ring 402 is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the annular column 401. An annular groove for mounting the toothed ring 402 is formed on the outer surface of the annular column 401, and the toothed ring 402 is fixedly mounted in the annular groove. The center point of the annular column 401 coincides with that of the gear ring 402. A fourth motor 403 is installed on the top of the fixed frame 8. A third gear 404 that meshes with the gear ring 402 is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the fourth motor 403. Three extrusion rollers 405 for extruding and thinning the front end of the seamless steel pipe 1 are equidistantly arranged on the inner surface of the annular column 401. Each extrusion roller 405 includes a roller frame and an extrusion roller rotatably installed in the roller frame. The diameter of the extrusion roller gradually increases from front to back. The narrower part of the extrusion roller has a frustum-shaped structure with its outer surface concave inward, and the larger part of the extrusion roller has a frustum-shaped structure with its outer surface convex outward.

An mounting hole is provided at the center of the outer shell 501 for installing an inner mold 502 used to cold draw the seamless steel pipe 1. An oil cavity is formed between the interior of the outer shell 501 and the inner mold 502. The inner mold 502 has an annular cylindrical structure. Oil holes 503 for lubricating oil are provided on both the inner and outer walls of the inner mold 502. The oil holes 503 on the inner and outer walls are connected by an oil passage. An oil pipe 504 for supplying lubricating oil into the outer shell 501 is installed on the top of the outer shell 501. One end of the oil pipe 504 away from the outer shell 501 is connected to an external oil tank containing lubricating oil. The cold drawing die 5 also includes a mounting bracket 8 for installing the outer shell 501.
[0054] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 21 , Figure 22 , Figure 23 , Figure 24 As shown, the drawing unit includes a drawing carriage 7 capable of sliding back and forth for drawing seamless steel pipe 1, a mounting groove 901 for the drawing carriage 7 to slide back and forth, and a drive assembly 9 for driving the drawing carriage 7 to slide. Third sliders are mounted on both the left and right sides of the bottom of the drawing carriage 7, and a third slide rail matching the third slider is provided on the top of the mounting groove 901 for the third slider to slide on. The drawing carriage 7 includes a carriage body 701 and a first L-shaped clamping arm 704 and a second L-shaped clamping arm 705 installed inside the carriage body 701 for clamping one end of the seamless steel pipe 1 extending from the cold drawing die 5, with an adjustable clamping distance. Both the first L-shaped clamping arm 704 and the second L-shaped clamping arm 705 have arc-shaped grooves on the surfaces that contact the seamless steel pipe 1, and the arc-shaped grooves are provided with textures to enhance friction.

A screw nut 904 is installed on the ball screw 902, and the screw nut 904 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the carriage 701 of the pulling carriage 7.
[0055] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 , Figure 7As shown, the clamping and feeding unit includes a left feeding assembly 3A and a right feeding assembly 3B symmetrically arranged. Both the left feeding assembly 3A and the right feeding assembly 3B include a U-shaped plate 302 capable of sliding left and right, and a second telescopic member 306 for driving the U-shaped plate 302 to slide. The U-shaped plate 302 includes a second vertical plate and first flat plates respectively vertically installed on the upper and lower sides of the second vertical plate. An upper connecting plate 303A and a lower connecting plate 303B, arranged vertically, are vertically installed on the front of the second vertical plate, with a gap between the upper connecting plate 303A and the lower connecting plate 303B. A first rotating shaft 304 is rotatably mounted between the upper connecting plate 303A and the lower connecting plate 303B at a certain distance. A feeding roller 301 for moving the seamless steel pipe 1 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the first rotating shaft 304. The surface of the feeding roller 301 has textures to increase friction. A first motor 305 for driving the first rotating shaft 304 to rotate is mounted on the top of the upper connecting plate 303A in the right feeding assembly 3B. The first rotating shaft 304 in the left feeding assembly 3A and the first rotating shaft 304 in the right feeding assembly 3B are connected by a first transmission component. The lower ends of the first rotating shafts 304 all pass through the lower connecting plate 303B and extend from the lower side of the lower connecting plate 303B. A first gear 307 is fixedly mounted on the extended part of the first rotating shaft 304 in the left feeding assembly 3A, and a second gear 308 that meshes with the first gear 307 is fixedly mounted on the extended part of the first rotating shaft 304 in the right feeding assembly 3B. At least one first slider is fixedly installed on the top and bottom of the U-shaped plate 302. The inner top and inner bottom of the frame 10 are provided with first slide rails for at least one first slider to slide left and right. The second telescopic member 306 is fixedly installed on the inner left side wall and inner right side wall of the frame 10 respectively. A small vertical plate is fixedly installed between the two first flat plates of the U-shaped plate 302. The small vertical plate is fixedly connected to the top end of the telescopic end of the second telescopic member 306. The top end of the telescopic end of the second telescopic member 306 is fixedly connected to the small vertical plate of the U-shaped plate 302 located on the same side.
[0056] The working principle of this invention is as follows: Select a matching cold drawing die 5 according to the style that the seamless steel pipe 1 needs to be processed into. After selecting the cold drawing die 5, the two are then bolted together and installed into the frame 10.
[0057] When the device is in its initial state, the drawing carriage 7 is located at the end of the mounting groove 901 near the forming unit, with a certain distance between it and the forming unit. The distance between the first L-shaped clamping arm 704 and the second L-shaped clamping arm 705 is at its maximum. The telescopic ends of the two second telescopic members 306 are both in a shortened state, and the distance between the two feeding rollers 301 is at its maximum. The telescopic end of the first telescopic member 6 is in an extended state, and both the pretreatment mold 4 and the cold drawing mold 5 are located on the right side of the frame 10. At this time, the pretreatment mold 4 is located directly behind the support assembly 2.
[0058] The seamless steel pipe 1, which is conveyed from the cleaning device, is placed on the support assembly 2 by means of hoisting or by means of a robotic arm. The seamless steel pipe 1 will be located in multiple U-shaped plates 203 supported by the first vertical plate 202. The front end of the seamless steel pipe 1 passes between the left feeding assembly 3A and the right feeding assembly 3B and enters the forming hole of the pretreatment mold 4, where it comes into contact with the narrower front end of the extrusion roller 405.
[0059] The second telescopic component 306 is activated, and its telescopic end gradually extends, driving the U-shaped plate 302 to move closer to the seamless steel pipe 1 via the small vertical plate. The feeding rollers 301 on the U-shaped plate 302 move along with the U-shaped plate 302 until both feeding rollers 301 abut against the seamless steel pipe 1, thus clamping the seamless steel pipe 1. Multiple pressure sensors are circumferentially arranged around the central axis of each feeding roller 301, ensuring that even when the feeding roller 301 rotates to different angles, pressure sensors remain in contact with the seamless steel pipe 1 to sense its pressure. When a pressure sensor detects that the pressure has reached a preset value, it transmits information to the main controller, which then stops the second telescopic component 306 to prevent damage to the seamless steel pipe 1. At this time, the center point of the pretreatment mold 4 and the central axis of the seamless steel pipe 1 are on the same horizontal line.
[0060] The fourth motor 403 starts, and its output shaft drives the third gear 404 to rotate. The third gear 404 drives the gear ring 402 to rotate, which in turn drives the annular column 401 to rotate within the fixed frame 8. The annular column 401 drives three extrusion rollers 405 mounted on its inner surface to rotate, extruding the front end of the seamless steel pipe 1 that extends into the forming hole, making it thinner. Simultaneously, the first motor 305 starts, driving the first rotating shaft 304 in the right feeding assembly 3B to rotate. The first gear 307 mounted on the first rotating shaft 304 drives the second gear 308 to rotate in the opposite direction. The second gear 308 drives the left feeding assembly... In 3A, the first rotating shaft 304 rotates in the opposite direction, driving the feeding rollers 301 to rotate. The two feeding rollers 301 together drive the seamless steel pipe 1 to slide backward on the support assembly 2, continuing to feed the seamless steel pipe 1 into the pretreatment mold 4. When the length of the front end of the seamless steel pipe 1 after processing reaches the expected value, the fourth motor 403 is turned off, and the first motor 305 starts to rotate in the opposite direction, thereby driving the two feeding rollers 301 to rotate. The two feeding rollers 301 together drive the seamless steel pipe 1 to slide forward on the support assembly 2 until its front end exits from the forming hole of the pretreatment mold 4, and the first motor 305 stops.
[0061] The telescopic end of the first telescopic component 6 begins to shorten, causing the pre-treatment mold 4 and the cold drawing mold 5 to slide to the left in the frame 10 simultaneously until the center point of the cold drawing mold 5 and the center axis of the seamless steel pipe 1 are on the same horizontal line. The first telescopic component 6 then stops working, and the cold drawing mold 5 stops at this position.
[0062] The first motor 305 restarts, driving the two feeding rollers 301 to rotate. The two feeding rollers 301 together drive the seamless steel pipe 1 to slide backward on the support assembly 2, feeding the thinned front end of the seamless steel pipe 1 into the forming hole of the cold drawing die 5. The thinned front end of the seamless steel pipe 1 will extend from the rear of the forming hole of the cold drawing die 5 and engage with the positioning pin 706 on the front side of the vehicle body 701. The first motor 305 is paused, and the second motor 703 starts, driving the forward and reverse threaded ball screws 702 to rotate. The right-hand screw nut and the left-hand screw nut move synchronously towards each other on the forward and reverse threaded ball screws 702. The right-hand screw nut and the left-hand screw nut drive the first L-shaped clamping arm 704 and the second L-shaped clamping arm 705 to move synchronously towards each other, so that the arc groove contacts the thinned front end of the seamless steel pipe 1, clamping the thinned front end of the seamless steel pipe 1. At this time, the lubricating oil has entered the oil chamber from the oil pipe 504 and then flows out from the oil chamber. Oil flows from the oil hole 503 on the outer wall of the inner mold 502 through the oil passage to the surface of the seamless steel pipe 1, lubricating the seamless steel pipe 1. The first motor 305 continues to work, driving the feeding roller 301 to rotate. The two feeding rollers 301 together drive the seamless steel pipe 1 to slide backward on the support assembly 2. At the same time, the third motor 903 starts. The speed of the first motor 305 and the third motor 903 are matched. The third motor 903 drives the ball screw 902 to rotate. The ball screw 902 drives the screw nut 904 to move backward. The screw nut 904 drives the car body 701 to move backward, continuously pulling the seamless steel pipe 1 out of the cold drawing mold 5. When the rear end of the seamless steel pipe 1 also enters the cold drawing mold 5, the first motor 305 stops rotating. The telescopic ends of the second telescopic component 306 begin to shorten until the left feeding assembly 3A and the right feeding assembly 3B return to their initial positions.
[0063] When the seamless steel pipe 1 is about to be fully pulled out of the cold drawing mold 5, the hoisting equipment will approach the rear half of the seamless steel pipe 1 in advance. When the seamless steel pipe 1 is fully pulled out of the cold drawing mold 5, it will be hoisted and kept at the original height to prevent it from falling. The second motor 703 reverses, thereby driving the first L-shaped clamping arm 704 and the second L-shaped clamping arm 705 to move synchronously in opposite directions until the distance between them is the maximum. At this time, the thinner front end of the seamless steel pipe 1 is no longer clamped. The third motor 903 continues to rotate, driving the vehicle body 701 to move backward, so that the thinner front end of the seamless steel pipe 1 separates from the positioning pin 706. At this time, the seamless steel pipe 1 that has been cold drawn can be moved to the next process. At this time, the third motor 903 moves in the opposite direction, driving the vehicle body 701 to slide forward in the mounting groove 901 back to the initial position.
[0064] It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the specific structure shown in the accompanying drawings in the above embodiments, and various changes can be made within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art.
