Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of protective tube production, and particularly relates to an end expanding device for producing cable protective tubes. Background Art
[0002] In power cable installation projects, protective tubes are typically placed around the cables for protection. However, given the often long lengths of power cables, and the limitations of manufacturing processes, transportation conditions, and on-site installation, the standard length of protective tubes is relatively limited. Therefore, in practical engineering, multiple protective tubes are often used in conjunction to meet the demands of long-distance cable installation. To ensure good sealing and mechanical stability between the multiple protective tubes, one end of each tube is flared during production. During actual installation, construction workers can precisely insert the non-flared end of one protective tube into the flared end of another, creating a reliable connection.
[0003] Reference Figure 19 and Figure 20 As shown in the figure, current cable protection tube end flaring operations typically utilize a pliers-like tool with a C-shaped flaring structure. During the flaring operation, the C-shaped flare is first inserted into the inner cavity of the cable protection tube end. Initially, the two C-shaped flares apply outward force to prop the tube end open. Subsequently, the two C-shaped flares are rotated 90 degrees within the tube, and then force is applied inward again to prop it up. This completes the circumferential, internally supported flaring process for the tube end.
[0004] However, using this method to flare the ends of cable protection tubes requires two separate flaring operations, preventing the circumferential expansion of the tube ends from being achieved in a single operation. Because the flaring process relies heavily on manual labor, it's difficult for operators to consistently apply consistent force, and it's also difficult to precisely rotate the C-shaped flare angle. These factors hinder the uniformity of the tube flaring process, leading to inconsistent wall thickness. This uneven wall thickness can negatively impact the stability of subsequent connections between multiple tubes, reducing the reliability and sealing of the connections. Summary of the Invention

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of an end flaring device for producing a cable protection tube according to the present invention are as follows:
[0023] 1. When flaring the port of a cable protection pipe using the existing method, it is necessary to perform the flaring operation twice successively. It is impossible to directly achieve the circumferential flaring of the protection pipe port in a single operation, and it highly relies on manual operation, resulting in the inability to effectively guarantee the uniformity of the flaring of the protection pipe port and prone to problems such as inconsistent wall thickness at the port. With the help of the first flaring block body, the first front guiding block body, and the first rear guiding block body components that expand and support outward, and the second flaring block body, the second front guiding block body, and the second rear guiding block body components that also expand and support outward, they can cooperate with each other to perform a uniform outward expansion and internal support action on the port of the protection pipe, thereby directly completing the circumferential flaring processing of the protection pipe port during a single operation of the equipment. This process does not require manual rotation to adjust the flaring angle, effectively avoiding the problem of uneven flaring of the protection pipe caused by manual adjustment; after the protection pipe is flared by the present invention, its circumferential force is balanced, ensuring that the edge thickness is consistent after the protection pipe is flared, laying a solid foundation for the stability of the connection between multiple subsequent protection pipes, and effectively guaranteeing the reliability and tightness of the connection part of the protection pipe;
[0024] 2. In the present invention, four groups of the first flaring block body, the first front guiding block body, and the first rear guiding block body, as well as four groups of the second flaring block body, the second front guiding block body, and the second rear guiding block body, which are evenly distributed and arranged in the circumferential direction, can perform an internal support type flaring processing operation on the port of the protection pipe at equal circumferential intervals, thereby ensuring that during the flaring process of the port of the protection pipe, each part can receive an internal support force with equal magnitude and evenly outward direction, without the need to adjust the angle of the flaring tool or component, effectively avoiding the flaring deviation caused by manually adjusting the angle of the flaring tool and avoiding the problems of repeated flaring or insufficient flaring in some positions of the protection pipe, greatly improving the quality and accuracy of the flaring processing;
[0025] 3. In the traditional flaring method, due to the manual flaring method or the setting defect that the flaring tool cannot fully fit the inner wall of the protection pipe after internal support, it is easy to cause the port shape of the protection pipe to be irregular or the port thickness to be inconsistent, which easily leads to the problem that the protection pipe cannot achieve a tight and effective fit when connecting with other cable protection pipes. In the present invention, the four groups of the first flaring block body and the four groups of the second flaring block body are arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction. When performing an internal support operation on the port of the protection pipe, the above components can build a closed annular internal support structure, ensuring that when performing the internal support flaring operation on the protection pipe, it can achieve a full - range and gap - free internal support fit with the inner wall of the protection pipe port. Thus, after the flaring process is completed, the protection pipe port presents a circular shape with uniform thickness, effectively guaranteeing the shape accuracy and dimensional stability of the protection pipe port, providing a solid guarantee for its reliable connection with other protection pipes, and further ensuring the integrity and functionality of the entire cable protection pipe system;
[0026] IV. In the present invention, with the drive of the first hydraulic cylinder and the cooperation of the limit guiding assembly, the four groups of first flaring blocks, first front guiding blocks, and first rear guiding blocks can be evenly and synchronously pushed outwards and inwards. With the drive of the second hydraulic cylinder and the cooperation of the limit guiding assembly, the four groups of second flaring blocks, second front guiding blocks, and second rear guiding blocks can be evenly and synchronously pushed outwards and inwards. Thus, the present invention not only ensures circumferentially uniform inwards flaring operation on the port of the protection pipe, realizes high-precision and high-consistency flaring, effectively avoids the problem of port quality defects caused by uneven flaring, which affects the connection stability of the protection pipe, but also the two driving methods can operate in parallel without interfering with each other, and the circumferential flaring operation of the protection pipe can be completed at one time without adjusting the direction of the flaring tool, effectively overcoming the deficiencies in operation coordination and precision of traditional flaring technologies, ensuring that the equipment can efficiently complete the flaring of a large number of protection pipe ports in a short time, greatly meeting the needs of large-scale construction, and providing a more efficient solution for the industrialized flaring processing of cable protection pipes;
[0027] V. In the present invention, through the split design of the first hollow cylinder and the second hollow cylinder, an inner supporting chamber is formed, which provides precise positioning for the circumferential equidistant interval distribution of the four groups of first flaring blocks and the four groups of second flaring blocks, and ensures that the first flaring blocks and the second flaring blocks after inner support in this positioning space can form an effective annular inner support structure. At the same time, it provides guiding and limiting for the retraction of the four groups of first flaring blocks and the four groups of second flaring blocks, ensuring that the four groups of first flaring blocks and the four groups of second flaring blocks can be smoothly retracted to disengage from the inner wall of the port of the flared protection pipe, realizing the smooth disassembly of the flared protection pipe;
[0028] VI. In the present invention, through the setting of components such as the guiding column body and the guiding groove, in the same system, precise and stable guiding and limiting functions can be provided for the first flaring unit and the second flaring unit during the process of achieving the inner support state and the retraction state. Thus, the present invention can ensure the independent operation of the first flaring unit and the second flaring unit, and they can independently play their functions without any interference with each other, effectively maintaining the efficient and stable operation of the entire system, and also effectively avoiding the problem of space occupation caused by separately configuring independent guiding and limiting components for the first flaring unit and the second flaring unit, significantly improving the space utilization rate inside the equipment, optimizing the overall structural space layout of the equipment, and realizing a more compact and efficient space setting;
[0029] VII. In the present invention, with the setting of the annular disk with a hollow inner cavity, it can ensure the normal displacement of the annular disk and the disk in the same direction without being hindered and interfered, so as to complete the operation requirements of circumferential inner flaring processing of the protection pipe port on the premise of ensuring the independent operation of the second flaring unit and the first flaring unit without interference, and ensuring the precise progress of the entire flaring processing process;
[0030] 8. In the traditional operation mode, when docking the port of the protection tube with the flaring tool, it is usually manually operated to complete the insertion and placement. However, since it is difficult to ensure the accuracy of the insertion angle by manual operation, it is very easy to cause the port of the protection tube to be skewed when docking with the flaring tool. During the subsequent flaring process, this skew will cause the flared part of the protection tube to deviate from the ideal position of the port of the protection tube, and ultimately the circumferential uniform flaring of the port of the protection tube cannot be achieved, affecting the flaring quality and the subsequent connection performance of the product. To address the above defects, the present invention provides two sets of arc-shaped plates that can move towards each other. By precisely supporting and limiting the port of the protection tube with the two sets of arc-shaped plates, it can ensure that the port of the protection tube always maintains a vertical state when entering the subsequent flaring station, effectively avoiding the occurrence of port skew problems, and ensuring that the flared part is accurately aligned with the port of the protection tube without skew, providing a reliable prerequisite for realizing the circumferential uniform flaring operation of the port of the protection tube to ensure the accuracy and quality of the flaring operation;
[0031] 9. In the present invention, the moving frame can drive the displacement of the connecting rod and the limit pin to achieve the continuous operation of supporting and limiting the port of the protection tube and sending it to the flaring station. That is, the present invention adopts a single power driving mechanism, which can complete two key action processes in one go: First, it causes the two sets of arc-shaped plates to move towards each other, thereby implementing the operation of supporting and limiting the port of the protection tube to ensure that the port of the protection tube is accurately positioned at the initial position. Second, under the continuous drive of the moving frame, it pushes the protection tube to accurately fit into the flaring station in a vertical posture; the above operation process can be completed with only a single power source without relying on two different driving powers. It not only meets the process requirements that the protection tube must enter the flaring station in a vertical state to ensure the high precision of the flaring operation, but also effectively avoids problems such as poor action connection and coordination caused by using two driving powers by reducing the number of power sources, ensuring the smoothness and stability of the equipment operation. Moreover, the two sets of arc-shaped plates under the same power source can ensure the unified symmetrical movement to ensure the accuracy of limiting and pushing the protection tube;
[0032] 10. In the present invention, through the setting of the first through groove and the second through groove, it can cause the two sets of arc-shaped plates to first move towards each other and then push the protection tube to the flaring station in a vertical state. By setting the connecting piece, the first blind groove and the second blind groove, it can limit the moving direction of the connecting rod to ensure that the connecting rod does not rotate when moving along the inner cavities of the first through groove and the second through groove. Thus, it ensures that the protection tube limited by the two connecting rods can be stably and vertically pushed to the flaring station, providing a guarantee for the accurate operation of the subsequent flaring operation and effectively avoiding the flaring quality problems caused by the movement deviation of the components.

Detailed implementation manners
[0054] The following further illustrates the present invention in conjunction with specific implementation cases and attached Figures 1 to 18 However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.
[0055] Embodiment 1
[0056] Refer to Figures 1 to 15As shown in the figure, an end flaring device for the production of cable protection pipes is used to flare the ends of the protection pipes 6. It includes a box body 1 and a controller 2. The box body 1 provides support for the installation of other components, and the inner cavity of the box body 1 can be used for assembling the supporting electronic control system of electrical components. The controller 2 is arranged at the top of the side wall of the box body 1. The controller 2 adopts a commonly used controller model in the market. It is a programmable memory that stores instructions for performing operations such as logical operations, sequential control, timing, counting, and arithmetic operations inside it, and controls various types of mechanical equipment or production processes through digital or analog inputs and outputs. In this embodiment, through the controller 2, each electrically connected component can receive and control corresponding instructions, which is common prior art, and its model and other situations will not be elaborated here; This solution also includes: a limit guiding component 3, a first flaring component, and a second flaring component. The limit guiding component 3 is installed on the upper surface of the box body 1, and the limit guiding component 3 includes an inner support chamber. The protection pipe 6 is internally supported at the inner support chamber of the limit guiding component 3 to achieve flaring processing; Four groups of the first flaring components are circumferentially arranged at equal intervals; Four groups of the second flaring components are circumferentially arranged at equal intervals, and the second flaring components and the first flaring components are alternately arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction. With the cooperation of the first flaring component and the second flaring component, the protection pipe 6 is internally supported and flared at the inner support chamber of the limit guiding component 3;
[0057] Among them, the first flaring component and the second flaring component are divided into an inner support state and a retracted state: In the inner support state, the first flaring component and the second flaring component form an annular inner support structure at the inner support chamber, and the diameter of the annular inner support structure is larger than the diameter of the protection pipe 6, so as to ensure that the annular inner support structure can flare the port of the protection pipe 6 into a diameter larger than the diameter of the protection pipe 6 itself, and the protection pipe 6 is flared at the annular inner support structure; In the retracted state, the first flaring component and the second flaring component retract into the inner cavity of the limit guiding component 3 and the inner support chamber. In this state, the protection pipe 6 can be smoothly sleeved on the annular inner support structure at the limit guiding component 3, which provides convenience for the feeding of the protection pipe 6 and subsequent flaring operations.
[0058] With the aid of the first flaring component that expands and internally supports outward, and the second flaring component that also expands and internally supports outward, the present invention can cooperate with each other to perform a uniform outward expansion and internal support action on the port of the protection pipe 6, so as to directly complete the circumferential flaring processing of the port of the protection pipe 6 during a single operation of the equipment. Different from the traditional flaring method, the present invention does not require manual rotation to adjust the flaring angle, effectively avoiding the problem of uneven flaring of the protection pipe 6 caused by manual operation deviation. After the port of the protection pipe 6 is flared by the present invention, the circumferential force is uniform, ensuring that the edge thickness is consistent after flaring, providing a stable and reliable basis for the connection between multiple subsequent protection pipes, and effectively guaranteeing the reliability and sealing performance of the connection part of the protection pipe, improving the overall performance of the cable protection pipe system.
[0059] In addition, in the traditional method, manual adjustment of the angle is likely to cause repeated flaring or insufficient flaring at some positions of the protective tube 6. To address this problem, the first flaring assembly and the second flaring assembly of the present invention are evenly distributed along the circumferential direction. When flaring the port of the protective tube 6, an inner support operation with equal circumferential spacing can be achieved; during the entire flaring process, this layout enables each part of the port of the protective tube 6 to receive an inner support force with the same magnitude and evenly outward direction. During the processing, there is no need to adjust the angle of the flaring tool or components, thereby avoiding the flaring deviation caused by manual angle adjustment and improving the quality and accuracy of the flaring process.
[0060] Furthermore, in the traditional flaring method, manual flaring is prone to errors, and the inner support of the flaring tool cannot fully fit the inner wall of the protective tube 6, resulting in an irregular shape and uneven thickness of the port of the protective tube 6, making it difficult to closely cooperate when connecting with other cable protective tubes. However, in the present invention, four groups of first flaring assemblies and four groups of second flaring assemblies are distributed at intervals along the circumference. During the inner support operation, a closed annular inner support structure can be constructed, which fits the inner wall of the port of the protective tube 6 in all directions without gaps. After flaring, the port of the protective tube 6 is in the shape of a ring with uniform thickness, ensuring the shape accuracy and dimensional stability, and enabling reliable connection with other protective tubes to ensure the integrity and functionality of the entire cable protective tube system.

[0065] Specifically, when the inclined end face of the first front guiding block 4010 touches the rear side edge of the second hollow cylinder 3007, under the pushing action of the continuously forward moving first driving rod 4005, it is urged that the first front guiding block 4010 always fits and moves along the rear side edge of the second hollow cylinder 3007, and then the first linkage rod 4007 drives the second connecting seat 4008 to extend outwards, that is, under the limiting action of the rear side wall edge of the second hollow cylinder 3007, four groups of first flaring blocks 4009 are urged to expand equidistantly outwards, forming four groups of arc-shaped internal support structures arranged at intervals with a smooth outer side wall. During this process, the four groups of first flaring blocks 4009 that expand outwards drive the protection tube 6 to be forced to expand outwards, realizing the flaring processing of the port of the protection tube 6.

[0067] Specifically, mainly refer to Figure 11 and Figure 12As shown in the figure, the second flaring assembly includes: a second flaring block 5011, a second front guiding block 5012, and a second rear guiding block 5013. The second flaring block 5011 is fixedly connected to the fourth connecting seat 5010, and the outer wall of the second flaring block 5011 is set to a smooth arc shape to ensure that after the inner wall of the protection tube 6 is internally supported and flared at this position subsequently, the inner wall of the protection tube 6 remains a smooth arc; the second front guiding block 5012 and the second rear guiding block 5013 are respectively fixedly installed at the front and rear ends of the second flaring block 5011, and the second front guiding block 5012 and the second rear guiding block 5013 are arranged corresponding to each other in the front and rear directions relative to the second flaring block 5011; wherein, the cross-section of the second flaring block 5011, the second front guiding block 5012, and the second rear guiding block 5013 in the front and rear directions is trapezoidal, which is the same as the principle of the trapezoidal design of the cross-section of the first flaring block 4009, the first front guiding block 4010, and the first rear guiding block 4011 in the front and rear directions. Through this setting, it is convenient to realize the inner support state or the retracted state of the second flaring assembly between the first hollow cylinder 3002 and the second hollow cylinder 3007.
[0068] When the second hydraulic cylinder 5003 is started, it will drive the U-shaped driving frame 5004, and then drive the annular disc 5006 to displace forward; during this process, the four groups of second driving rods 5007 installed on the side wall of the annular disc 5006 will respectively slide forward along the inner cavity of the corresponding guiding grooves 3005, so that the four groups of third connecting seats 5008, the second linkage rod 5009, and the fourth connecting seat 5010 move synchronously; until the fourth connecting seat 5010 pushes the inclined end face of the second front guiding block 5012 to contact the rear edge of the second hollow cylinder 3007; as the second driving rods 5007 and the third connecting seats 5008 continue to move forward, it will force the second linkage rod 5009, the fourth connecting seat 5010, and the second flaring block 5011 to extend outward; in view of the fact that the second flaring block 5011 is located at the gap position between two circumferentially adjacent first flaring blocks 4009, so when the second flaring block 5011 extends outward, it can fill the gap between the two adjacent first flaring blocks 4009, and perform the inner support and flaring operation on the port of the protection tube 6 again; finally, the four groups of second flaring blocks 5011 in the inner support state and the four groups of first flaring blocks 4009 in the inner support state together form an annular inner support structure with a smooth arc-shaped outer wall; this annular inner support structure acts on the port of the protection tube 6 to ensure that the second flaring block 5011 and the first flaring block 4009 are in full contact with the inner wall of the port of the protection tube 6 without gaps, so that the port of the protection tube 6 forms a uniform flared shape.
[0069] Specifically, mainly refer to Figure 8 and Figure 13As shown, in the inner support state, the shape of the second front guide block 5012 is adapted to the shape of the space between two adjacent groups of the first front guide blocks 4010, the shape of the second flaring block 5011 is adapted to the shape of the space between two adjacent groups of the first flaring blocks 4009, and the shape of the second rear guide block 5013 is adapted to the shape of the space between two adjacent groups of the first rear guide blocks 4011. When the above components are supported inwardly to the outside, it can ensure that a smooth outer wall annular inner support surface is formed by a plurality of second flaring blocks 5011 and first flaring blocks 4009. After the protection tube 6 is supported inwardly, the thickness of its port remains uniform and smooth.
[0070] In addition, in the present invention, through the arrangement of components such as the guide column 3004 and the guide groove 3005, during the process of achieving the inner support state and the retracted state of the first flaring unit 4 and the second flaring unit 5 in the same system, an accurate and stable guiding and limiting function can be provided. Therefore, the present invention can ensure the respective operations of the first flaring unit 4 and the second flaring unit 5, and each can independently perform its function without any interference with each other, effectively maintaining the efficient and stable operation of the entire system. It also effectively avoids the problem of space occupation caused by separately configuring independent guiding and limiting components for the first flaring unit 4 and the second flaring unit 5, significantly improving the space utilization rate inside the device, optimizing the overall structural space layout of the device, and achieving a more compact and efficient space setting.
[0071] Mainly refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 14 、 Figure 15As shown in the figure, it further includes a conveying unit 7. The conveying unit 7 includes two groups of conveying components, which are symmetrically arranged left and right with the protection tube 6 as the center. Each group of conveying components includes: a third support plate 7001, a top plate 7002, a first through groove 7003, a second through groove 7004, a connecting rod 7005, an arc plate 7006, a first blind groove 7007, a second blind groove 7008, a connecting piece 7009 and a limit pin 7010. The third support plate 7001 is vertically and fixedly installed on the upper surface of the box body 1; the top plate 7002 is vertically and fixedly installed at the top of the front side wall of the third support plate 7001; both the first through groove 7003 and the second through groove 7004 are formed through the top plate 7002, the first through groove 7003 is communicated with the second through groove 7004, and the first through groove 7003 is inclined relative to the second through groove 7004; the connecting rod 7005 is vertically and slidably arranged in the inner cavities of the first through groove 7003 and the second through groove 7004; the arc plate 7006 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the connecting rod 7005, and the arc plate 7006 is arranged in an arc shape; both the first blind groove 7007 and the second blind groove 7008 are formed on the upper surface of the top plate 7002, the first through groove 7003 is communicated with the second blind groove 7008, and the first blind groove 7007 is inclined relative to the second blind groove 7008, the first blind groove 7007 is parallel to the first through groove 7003, and the second blind groove 7008 is parallel to the second through groove 7004; the connecting piece 7009 is fixedly installed at the top end of the connecting rod 7005; the limit pin 7010 is vertically and fixedly installed on the lower surface of the connecting piece 7009, and the limit pin 7010 is slidably arranged in the inner cavities of the first blind groove 7007 and the second blind groove 7008;
[0072] When loading the protection tube 6 before flaring, manually align the flaring processing part of the protection tube 6 with the two arc plates 7006. When the two arc plates 7006 clamp the side wall of the protection tube 6 to ensure that the protection tube 6 will not fall off, remove the manual supporting force on the protection tube 6 to ensure that the protection tube 6 can be automatically and accurately conveyed along the second hollow cylinder 3007 by means of the conveying unit 7 subsequently, avoiding the feeding deviation caused by manual feeding and affecting the subsequent flaring accuracy.
[0073] Specifically, the settings of the first through groove 7003 and the second through groove 7004 enable the two arc plates 7006 to first move closer to each other, and then push the protection tube 6 to the flaring station in a vertical posture. The existence of the connecting piece 7009, the first blind groove 7007 and the second blind groove 7008 can limit the moving direction of the connecting rod 7005 to ensure that the connecting rod 7005 will not rotate when moving in the inner cavities of the first through groove 7003 and the second through groove 7004. In this way, the protection tube 6 limited by the two connecting rods 7005 can be stably and vertically sent to the flaring station, providing guarantee for the accurate development of the subsequent flaring operation and effectively avoiding the flaring quality problems caused by the movement deviation of the components.
[0074] In addition, the conveying unit 7 further includes a driving assembly, which includes a moving frame 7011, a fixing plate 7012, a third supporting seat 7013 and a third hydraulic cylinder 7014. The moving frame 7011 is slidably sleeved on the connecting rod 7005, and the moving frame 7011 moves back and forth along the upper surface of the top plate 7002. The fixing plate 7012 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the top plate 7002. The third supporting seat 7013 is fixedly installed on the rear side wall of the fixing plate 7012. The third hydraulic cylinder 7014 is installed on the third supporting seat 7013, and the output end of the third hydraulic cylinder 7014 is fixedly connected to the moving frame 7011. While driving the connecting rod 7005 to move along the inner cavities of the first through groove 7003 and the second through groove 7004 through the moving frame 7011, the connecting piece 7009 connected to the connecting rod 7005 can drive the limit pin 7010 to move synchronously along the inner cavities of the first blind groove 7007 and the second blind groove 7008, so as to guide and limit the displacement of the connecting rod 7005, ensure that the connecting rod 7005 does not rotate during the displacement process, and further ensure that the arc-shaped plate 7006 at the bottom end of the connecting rod 7005 can drive the protective tube 6 to be sleeved on the second hollow cylinder 3007 in a vertical direction.
[0075] The present invention uses a single power driving mechanism to coherently complete two key steps. First, by virtue of this power, the two arc-shaped plates 7006 are driven to move towards each other to support and limit the port of the protective tube 6, so that the port of the protective tube 6 is accurately positioned at the initial stage. Second, under the continuous drive of the moving frame 7011, the protective tube 6 is pushed into the flaring station accurately in a vertical state. The whole operation only relies on a single power source without two powers. This not only meets the process requirements for the protective tube 6 to vertically enter the flaring station, ensures high-precision flaring, but also reduces the number of power sources, avoids situations such as poor action connection and coordination caused by dual power sources, and ensures the smooth and stable operation of the equipment. At the same time, the same power source makes the two arc-shaped plates 7006 move symmetrically and uniformly, ensuring the accuracy of limiting and pushing the protective tube 6.
[0076] In addition, it is worth noting that in the present invention, the first hydraulic cylinder 4003, the second hydraulic cylinder 5003, and the third hydraulic cylinder 7014 are all commonly used hydraulic cylinders on the market. Their output ends can stay at any position and be locked. The corresponding common models can be adopted, and there is no need to elaborate and limit here. And in the present invention, through the controller 2, the start-stop, displacement and the timing of start-stop displacement of the first hydraulic cylinder 4003, the second hydraulic cylinder 5003, and the third hydraulic cylinder 7014 can be controlled to form a coherent overall step of supporting and feeding the protective tube 6, automatically flaring the protective tube 6, automatically resetting the flaring tool, and automatically discharging the protective tube 6 after flaring. This is the prior art and will not be elaborated here. The above components can all select appropriate models and installation methods as needed, and there is no limit to the models of the above existing components and no excessive elaboration.
[0077] An end flaring device for the production of a cable protection pipe according to the present invention. The working principle of flaring the port of the protection pipe 6 is as follows:
[0078] First, prepare for flaring: Manually place the port of the protection pipe 6 to be processed between two arc-shaped plates 7006. As the third hydraulic cylinder 7014 that is opened drives the moving frame 7011 to move backward, it drives two groups of connecting rods 7005 to move backward along the inner cavity of the first through groove 7003. At this time, the arc-shaped plates 7006 move synchronously with the connecting rods 7005. Since the first through groove 7003 is inclined relative to the second through groove 7004, when the connecting rods 7005 move from the inner cavity of the first through groove 7003 to the inner cavity of the second through groove 7004, it causes the two groups of arc-shaped plates 7006 connected by the two connecting rods 7005 to approach each other, realizing the support and clamping of the outer wall of the protection pipe 6 by the two arc-shaped plates 7006. At this time, the manual support effect on the protection pipe 6 is removed. As the connecting rods 7005 continue to drive the arc-shaped plates 7006 and the protection pipe 6 to move backward, it causes the port of the protection pipe 6 to be sleeved on the second hollow cylinder 3007 backward, and ensures that the port of the protection pipe 6 is at the flaring station formed by the second mounting plate 3006 and the first hollow cylinder 3002. At this time, the output end of the third hydraulic cylinder 7014 stops moving and locks its position, thus completing the automatic pushing of the protection pipe 6 to the flaring station;
[0079] When flaring the port of the protection tube 6, first, the first hydraulic cylinder 4003 that is turned on drives the disc 4004 to move forward. The disc 4004 drives the four groups of first driving rods 4005 installed on its side wall to move forward synchronously to the front side, so as to prompt the four groups of first connecting seats 4006 to move forward along the guiding grooves 3005 at corresponding positions respectively. The first connecting seats 4006 that move forward to the front side first prompt the first linkage rod 4007, the second connecting seat 4008, the first flaring block 4009 and the first front guiding block 4010 to move forward synchronously to the front side until the inclined end face of the first front guiding block 4010 touches the rear edge of the second hollow cylinder 3007. Under the pushing action of the continuously forward moving first driving rod 4005, the first front guiding block 4010 is prompted to always fit and move along the rear edge of the second hollow cylinder 3007, and then the first linkage rod 4007 drives the second connecting seat 4008 to extend outward. That is, under the limiting action of the rear side wall edge of the second hollow cylinder 3007, the four groups of first flaring blocks 4009 are prompted to expand equidistantly outward, forming four arc-shaped inner support structures that are spaced apart with a smooth outer wall, and in this process, the four groups of first flaring blocks 4009 that support inward drive the protection tube 6 to be forced to expand outward, realizing the preliminary flaring processing of the port of the protection tube 6; Secondly, the second hydraulic cylinder 5003 that is turned on drives the U-shaped driving frame 5004 to drive the annular disc 5006 to move forward to the front side, so as to prompt the four groups of second driving rods 5007 installed on the side wall of the annular disc 5006 to move forward along the inner cavity of the guiding grooves 3005 at corresponding positions respectively, so as to realize the synchronous displacement of the four groups of third connecting seats 5008, the second linkage rod 5009 and the fourth connecting seat 5010 until the inclined end face of the second front guiding block 5012 driven by the fourth connecting seat 5010 touches the rear edge of the second hollow cylinder 3007. The continuously moving second driving rod 5007 and the third connecting seat 5008 drive the second linkage rod 5009, the fourth connecting seat 5010 and the second flaring block 5011 to extend outward. Since the second flaring block 5011 is arranged at the gap between two circumferentially adjacent first flaring blocks 4009, as the second flaring block 5011 extends outward, the gap between two adjacent first flaring blocks 4009 can be filled, and the inner support flaring processing of the port of the protection tube 6 is realized again; Finally, through the four groups of second flaring blocks 5011 in the inner support state and the four groups of first flaring blocks 4009 in the inner support state, a circular inner support structure with a smooth outer wall is jointly formed. This circular inner support structure prompts the inner support of the port of the protection tube 6, ensuring that the second flaring blocks 5011 and the first flaring blocks 4009 are in full-contact and gapless inner support fitting at the port of the protection tube 6, and prompting the port of the protection tube 6 to form a uniform flaring structure;
[0080] In summary, the present invention can complete the circumferential flaring of the end of the cable protection pipe in a single operation, effectively avoiding the uncertainty brought by manual angle adjustment, enabling the circumferential force on the flared port to reach a high level of balance, with a uniform edge thickness, enhancing the stability and sealing performance of the connection part of the protection pipe; the component design evenly distributed along the circumferential direction can achieve equidistant internal support flaring of the cable protection pipe port, thus effectively avoiding deviations during the flaring process and significantly improving the quality and precision of the flaring process; at the same time, the annular internal support structure can achieve full-round close fitting with the inner wall of the cable protection pipe port, ensuring the shape accuracy and dimensional stability of the port, and strongly promoting the reliable connection between the protection pipes.
[0081] Embodiment 2
[0082] Refer to Figures 16 to 18 As shown, in this state, the protection pipe 6 is ready for flaring processing, and the first flaring unit 4 and the second flaring unit 5 are in the initial position state.
[0083] When disassembling the protective tube 6 after the hole expansion process, refer to the steps and principles in the above embodiment 1, first use the output end of the second hydraulic cylinder 5003 to drive the annular disk 5006 to move backward, so that the four sets of second drive rods 5007 respectively drive the third connecting seat 5008, the second connecting rod 5009, and the fourth connecting seat 5010 at the corresponding positions to retract.
