DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
[0026] The following further elaborates on the technical solutions of the present invention in combination with specific embodiments. For parts not detailedly described and disclosed in the following embodiments of the present invention, they should all be understood as the prior art known or should be known to those skilled in the art, such as how the control unit controls the feeder 12 to feed materials into the steel mold 1, how the control unit controls the feeder 12 to stop feeding, and how the steel mold moves into and out of the forming area, etc.
[0027] Embodiment 1
[0028] A forming device for concrete and reinforced concrete drain pipes, comprising a steel mold 1 and two symmetrically arranged frames 2. Among them, the steel mold 1 is in a cylindrical structure, and in this example, the steel mold 1 is in a socket type structure. A forming area is formed between the two frames 2. The steel mold 1 is transferred into the forming area and is detachably connected to a forming turntable 7 rotatably arranged on the frame 2. The forming turntable 7 is driven by a driving source 8. Specifically, the steel mold 1 is transported into the forming area, and the axis of the steel mold 1 coincides with the axis of the forming turntable 7. The positioning rings at both ends of the steel mold 1 are respectively installed on the snap rings of the corresponding forming turntables 7. After the concrete and reinforced concrete drain pipes are formed, the steel mold 1 is separated from the forming turntable 7 and transferred to the next working station.
[0029] In this embodiment, the connection mode between the forming turntable 7 and the frame 2 is fixed by bearings. The frame 2 is installed on the outer bearing seat of the bearing. A plurality of first oil cylinders 403 are evenly distributed and installed on the outer circumference of the frame 2. The inner ring of the bearing installs the forming turntable 7. A telescopic head 402 is installed on the forming turntable 7, and a steel mold positioning snap ring 13 is installed on the telescopic head 402. As Figure 1 shown, the forming turntable 7 is connected to the frame 2 through a bearing 201. The inner ring of the bearing 201 is sleeved on the outer side wall of the annular part of the forming turntable 7, and the outer ring bearing seat of the bearing 201 is fixedly connected to the frame 2. The two forming turntables 7 on both sides are concentric.
[0030] The forming turntable 7 is detachably connected to the steel mold 1. The method is that a snap ring 13 for fixing the steel mold 1 is coaxially arranged on the side of the forming turntable 7 facing the forming area. A plurality of first oil cylinders 403 are arranged on the frame 2 and are evenly distributed along its circumferential direction. The first oil cylinders 403 are movably connected to the telescopic heads 402, and the ends of the telescopic heads 402 are fixedly connected to the snap ring 13. In this embodiment, the inner conical surface of the snap ring 13 is equivalent to the outer conical surface of the end of the steel mold 1. The first oil cylinder 403 pulls the telescopic head 402, and the telescopic head 402 drives the snap ring 13 to be detachably connected to the steel mold 1. As Figure 1 shown, taking the snap ring 13 on the left forming turntable 7 as an example, before the steel mold 1 is installed, the first oil cylinder 403 drives the telescopic head 402 to pull the snap ring 13 to move leftward, so as to separate the snap ring 13 from the end positioning ring of the steel mold 1. After the steel mold 1 is transferred to the forming area, the first oil cylinder 403 pushes the telescopic head 402 to extend, and the telescopic head 402 drives the snap ring 13 to move rightward and sleeved on the end positioning ring of the steel mold 1 to complete the installation of the steel mold 1; after the pipe making is completed, the first oil cylinder 403 pulls the telescopic head 402 to retract, drives the snap ring 13 to move leftward to separate from the steel mold 1, and the steel mold 1 is transferred to the next working station. The inner ring of the snap ring 13 has a taper, and the taper is equal to that of the positioning ring of the steel mold 1, and the two are taper - fitted.
[0031] A plurality of anti-slip units 14 are arranged on the snap ring 13 and distributed along its circumferential direction to ensure that the steel mold 1 and the snap ring 13 rotate synchronously. The anti-slip unit 14 includes a mounting cylinder 1401 fixedly connected to the snap ring 13 and having one end closed and one end open, and an anti-slip pin 1402 slidably connected to the mounting cylinder 1401. The mounting cylinder 1401 is a circular cylindrical structure, and the open end of the mounting cylinder faces the outer wall of the snap ring. The connection mode between the mounting cylinder and the snap ring is bolt connection. A spring 1403 is arranged in the mounting cylinder 1401 to push one end of the anti-slip pin 1402 to abut against the outer wall of the steel mold 1. A through hole for the anti-slip pin 1402 to pass through is formed in the snap ring 13. The spring 1403 pushes one end of the anti-slip pin 1402 to extend out of the mounting cylinder 1401 and pass through the snap ring 13 to abut against the outer wall of the steel mold 1, preventing the steel mold 1 from slipping in the snap ring 13 and ensuring that the steel mold 1 and the snap ring 13 rotate synchronously. An arc portion is arranged at one end of the anti-slip pin 1402 extending out of the mounting cylinder 1401, and the arc portion is located on the side of the anti-slip pin 1402 facing the forming area. A limiting platform is arranged at one end of the anti-slip pin 1402 extending into the mounting cylinder 1401 to limit the length of the anti-slip pin 1402 extending out of the mounting cylinder 1401. As Figure 3 shown, when the steel mold 1 is installed, the snap ring 13 slides from right to left. The arc portion first contacts the end of the steel mold 1. As the snap ring 13 continues to move, the steel mold 1 pushes the anti-slip pin 1402 into the mounting cylinder 1401 until the snap ring 13 moves to the required position. At this time, the anti-slip pin 1402 abuts against the side wall of the steel mold 1 under the action of the spring 1403.
[0032] In this embodiment, a plurality of grooves 103 are formed on the outer wall of the steel mold 1 and distributed along its circumferential direction. The grooves 103 correspond to the anti-slip units one by one. One end of the anti-slip pin 1402 extending out of the mounting cylinder 1401 abuts against the bottom of the groove 103, further ensuring that the steel mold 1 and the snap ring 13 rotate synchronously.
[0033] In this embodiment, the drive source 8 is arranged on one of the racks 2. As Figure 1 shown, the drive source 8 is arranged on the right rack 2. The drive source 8 is a drive motor. The motor shaft of the drive motor is drivingly connected with a driving gear 801. A driven gear 701 meshing with the driving gear 801 is coaxially arranged on the forming turntable 7. The driven gear 701 is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the annular portion of the forming turntable 7. The drive motor drives the forming turntable 7 to rotate, and the forming turntable 7 drives the steel mold 1 to rotate synchronously to realize the forming of the concrete 3.
[0034] On one side of the frame 2, there is a moving cart 10 for pushing the pressure roller 6 into or out of the steel mold 1. The axis of the pressure roller 6 is parallel to the axis of the forming turntable 7. After the pressure roller 6 extends into the steel mold 1, both ends of the pressure roller 6 are connected to the frame 2 through a connecting unit, and there is a forming gap between the outer wall of the pressure roller 6 and the inner wall of the steel mold 1. The connecting unit includes a constant-pressure oil cylinder 5 arranged on the frame 2. The free end of the piston rod of the constant-pressure oil cylinder 5 is fixedly connected with a lifting ring 501, and the lifting ring 501 is rotatably connected to the end of the pressure roller 6. The head of the pressure roller 6 passes through a lifting ring 501, the steel mold 1, and another lifting ring 501 in sequence. The pressure roller 6 is moved to the required position by the constant-pressure oil cylinder 5, so that a forming gap is formed between the outer wall of the pressure roller 6 and the inner wall of the steel mold 1, and the width of the forming gap is equal to the wall thickness of the concrete drain pipe. As Figure 1 shown, on one side of the frame 2, there are two parallel guide rails 1001. The guide rails 1001 extend along the direction parallel to the axis of the pressure roller 6. The moving cart 10 can reciprocate on the guide rails 1001 to push the pressure roller 6 into or out of the steel mold 1.
[0035] In this embodiment, a bracket is arranged between the moving cart 10 and the frame 2. The top end of the bracket is rotatably provided with a supporting roller 11 for supporting the pressure roller 6. After the pipe making is completed, the constant-pressure oil cylinder 5 drives the pressure roller 6 to move down to the supporting roller 11, and then the pressure roller 6 is moved out of the steel mold 1 by the moving cart 10.
[0036] On the other side of the frame 2, there is a feeder 12 controlled by a control unit to feed materials into the steel mold 1. The feeder 12 is provided with a feeding nozzle 1201 that can extend into or out of the steel mold 1. On this side, there are two parallel slide rails 1202. The feeder 12 reciprocates along the slide rails 1202 to drive the feeding nozzle 1201 to extend into or out of the steel mold 1. Specifically, the feeding nozzle 1201 extends into the steel mold 1 to feed concrete 3 into the steel mold 1; after the feeding nozzle 1201 finishes feeding, it extends out of the steel mold 1.
[0037] In this embodiment, a pressure sensor for detecting the force on the pressure roller 6 is arranged on the pressure roller 6.

In this embodiment, two mounting holes 102 are provided at each end of the steel mold 1, and the two mounting holes 102 at the same end are symmetrically arranged along the axis of the steel mold 1; pins 4 are slidably arranged on the forming turntable 7, and each pin 4 drives the telescopic head to extend into or out of the mounting hole 102 through the first oil cylinder 403 corresponding thereto. A plurality of pins 4 are provided on each forming turntable 7, and the pins 4 are evenly arranged along the axis of the forming turntable 7, and the axis of the pins 4 are parallel to the axis of the forming turntable 7. The pins 4 are connected to the telescopic head 402 via a connecting plate 401, that is, the end of the telescopic head 402 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 401, and one end of the pin 4 is fixed to the connecting plate 401. Figure 4 As shown, taking the pin 4 on the left forming turntable 7 as an example, before the steel mold 1 is installed, the first oil cylinder 403 drives the telescopic head to pull the pin 4 to move to the left. After the steel mold 1 is moved to the forming area, the first oil cylinder 403 pushes the telescopic head 402 to extend, pushes the pin 4 to move to the right and extend into the corresponding installation hole 102, and completes the installation of the steel mold 1; after the pipe making is completed, the first oil cylinder 403 drives the telescopic head 402 to retract, pulls the pin 4 to move to the left and extend out of the installation hole 102, and the steel mold 1 moves to the next workstation.
