In addition, the terms "first", "second", "third" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0022] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that unless otherwise clearly defined and limited, the terms "installation", "connection", "connection" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication inside two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific situations.

[0023] The present invention aims to solve the problem that the adjustable bending radius of the support column is limited.

[0024] Therefore, the present invention provides a bending device for processing aluminum-zinc alloy, including a workbench 1, a two-axis moving member 2 provided on the workbench 1, and a pipe clamping seat 3 provided on the two-axis moving member 2. An installation bracket 4 is fixed on one side of the workbench 1. A movable bracket 5 is rotatably installed on the installation bracket 4. A base plate 6 is fixedly provided on the movable bracket 5. A variable-diameter pipe bending die 7 is provided on the base plate 6. A male chuck 10 is slidably provided on the movable bracket 5. A female chuck 9 for cooperating with the male chuck 10 to clamp the pipe is provided on one side of the variable-diameter pipe bending die 7 close to the male chuck 10. It also includes a driving motor 11, a driving shaft 12 rotatably penetrating through the installation bracket 4, and a reduction gear set 13 drivingly connecting the driving motor 11 and the driving shaft 12. The movable bracket 5 is fixedly connected to the driving shaft 12. An auxiliary clamping structure 20 for clamping the pipe is provided on one side of the workbench 1.

[0025] Reference Figures 1 to 6 , the working principle of the bending operation of the present invention: First, the left end of the aluminum-zinc alloy pipe to be bent is clamped in the pipe clamping seat 3. Then, through the two-axis moving member 2, the right end of the aluminum-zinc alloy pipe is positioned inside the female chuck 9, that is, the right end of the aluminum-zinc alloy pipe is positioned at the tangent position of the pipe bending die. Then, the male chuck 10 is moved to cooperate with the female chuck 9 to clamp the right end of the aluminum-zinc alloy pipe. Then, the aluminum-zinc alloy pipe is clamped by the auxiliary clamping structure 20 (mainly for limiting but not clamping). The driving motor 11 is controlled to rotate. The output of the driving motor 11 is reduced in speed and increased in torque through the reduction gear set 13. Then, the driving shaft 12 rotates a preset angle. The driving shaft 12 drives the movable bracket 5 fixedly connected thereto to rotate a preset angle. The movable bracket 5 drives the base plate 6 and the variable-diameter pipe bending die 7 fixedly connected thereto to rotate. And the male chuck 10, the female chuck 9, and the right end of the aluminum-zinc alloy pipe clamped by the two also rotate a preset angle clockwise along with the variable-diameter pipe bending die 7. At this time, through the two-axis moving member 2, the aluminum-zinc alloy pipe is slightly sent out along the tangent direction of the variable-diameter pipe bending die 7. At this time, the variable-diameter pipe bending die 7 will rotate clockwise while squeezing the aluminum-zinc alloy pipe to bend along the outer edge of the variable-diameter pipe bending die 7.

[0026] The present invention provides three embodiments for changing the bending radius direction of the variable-diameter pipe bending die 7: Embodiment 1: The variable-diameter pipe bending die 7 is a circular plate structure with an arc-shaped groove on the side, which is detachably provided on the base plate 6. The female chuck 9 is integrally connected with the circular plate structure.

[0027] In this embodiment, the female chuck 9 and the circular plate structure are integrally cast, and then the overall structure formed by the two is manufactured in different specifications (diameters), and the replacement of the bending diameter is realized in the form of the overall structure.

[0028] The ways of detachable connection include but are not limited to fixing with threaded parts, snap fixing, etc.

[0029] Embodiment Two: Reference Figure 2 , the variable-diameter elbow mold 7 is a circular plate structure with an arc-shaped groove on the side and is detachably arranged on the substrate 6, and a female chuck 9 is slidably installed on one side of the substrate 6 through a linear telescopic member 8.

[0030] In this embodiment, the female chuck 9 and the variable-diameter elbow mold 7 are independent structures. Only the variable-diameter elbow mold 7 needs to be manufactured in different specifications (diameters), and the replacement of the bending diameter is realized by replacing the variable-diameter elbow mold 7.

[0031] The ways of detachable connection include but are not limited to fixing with threaded parts, snap fixing, etc.

[0032] However, it should be noted that due to different specifications of the variable-diameter elbow mold 7, the adjacent side of the female chuck 9 and the variable-diameter elbow mold 7 may not be completely fitted, but only need to ensure that the clamping surface of the female chuck 9 is located in the tangential direction of the variable-diameter elbow mold 7.

[0033] Embodiment Three: The variable-diameter elbow mold 7 includes a gear plate 21 rotatably installed on the substrate 6 and an adjusting plate 22 arranged on the gear plate 21 and fixed to the substrate 6. A plurality of second chutes 23 are evenly installed radially on the adjusting plate 22, and a pressing rod 24 is slidably installed in each of the second chutes 23. A plurality of pressing grooves 25 are evenly installed radially on the gear plate 21, and the bottom end of the pressing rod 24 is slidably embedded in the pressing groove 25. Positioning plates 27 are fixedly installed on the adjusting plate 22 at intervals through columns 26. A plurality of locking grooves 28 are evenly installed radially on the positioning plates 27, and ratchet teeth 29 are formed in the locking grooves 28. The top end of the pressing rod 24 is slidably embedded in the locking groove 28. The top end of the pressing rod 24 is also movably installed with a movable tooth 31 that cooperates with the ratchet teeth 29 through an elastic member 30; an extension portion 32 is formed on one side of the substrate 6, a driving motor two 33 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the extension portion 32, a driving gear 34 is rotatably installed on the extension portion 32, the driving gear 34 meshes with the gear plate 21, and the output shaft of the driving motor two 33 is in transmission connection with the gear plate 21. In Embodiment Three, the installation method of the female chuck 9 is basically the same as that in Embodiment Two.

[0034] Reference Figures 3 to 6 , the working principle of this embodiment is: First, the drive gear 34 is rotated by the second drive motor 33, and then the drive gear 34 drives the gear plate 21 meshing with it to rotate. Then, due to the rotation of the gear plate 21, the extrusion groove 25 on the gear plate 21 extrudes the abutting rod 24 to expand outward. Since the abutting rod 24 is also arranged in the second chute 23, the abutting rod 24 is restricted to slide linearly in the second chute 23. Due to the sliding of the abutting rod 24, the top end of the abutting rod 24 also slides linearly. The cooperation of the elastic member 30, the ratchet tooth 29 and the movable tooth 31 forms a one-way sliding mechanism to ensure the position locking after the abutting rod 24 expands outward. At this time, a structure similar to a circle is formed among several abutting rods 24, so that the bending of pipes with low precision can be attached to it for bending.

[0035] When the second drive motor 33 rotates in the reverse direction, the second chute 23 of the adjusting plate 22 rotates, causing the abutting rod 24 to have a tendency to retract. There is a spring (not shown in the figure) arranged in the second chute 23, which will drive the abutting rod 24 to retract. However, the cooperation of the elastic member 30, the ratchet tooth 29 and the movable tooth 31 forms a one-way sliding mechanism that needs to be in contact. The movable tooth 31 can be disassembled in advance. When the abutting rod 24 retracts to the innermost position, then the movable tooth 31 is reinstalled, and then the above steps are repeated to re-adjust the diameter of the circle formed by the abutting rods 24.

[0036] In the present invention, the movable bracket 5 is a U-shaped bracket, and the two ends of the U-shaped bracket are respectively rotatably connected to the corresponding two side surfaces of the mounting bracket 4, so that the installation is more stable.

[0037] In the present invention, a first chute 14 is provided on the movable bracket 5, and a sliding rod 15 is slidably installed in the first chute 14. The male chuck 10 is fixedly installed on the sliding rod 15 to move away from or close to the female chuck 9; a drive cylinder 16 is also fixedly installed on the movable bracket 5, and the output end of the drive cylinder 16 is fixedly connected to the sliding rod 15. In this way, the clamping or loosening of the male chuck 10 and the female chuck 9 can be realized.

[0038] In the present invention, the two-axis moving member 2 includes a bottom plate 17, a horizontal guide rail 18 arranged between the workbench 1 and the bottom plate 17, and a vertical guide rail 19 arranged between the bottom plate 17 and the pipe clamping seat 3. In this way, the bottom plate 17 can have a basis for sliding through the vertical guide rail 19 and the horizontal guide rail 18, and then the adjustment and locking are realized through a servo motor, gears and racks.

[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements on some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
