[0027] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: By clamping the pipe fitting to be bent onto the positioning clamping machine 2, the positioning clamping machine 2 can drive the pipe fitting to move to the position of the guide seat 9, and the moving pipe fitting passes through the feed hole, the fixed sleeve 606, the external sleeve 609, the disc, the connecting cover 714 and the heating element 703 in sequence. During this process, the outer wall of the pipe fitting will fit the first clamping head 804 and the inner wall of the guide seat 9 respectively. When the pipe fitting passes through the feed hole, the length measuring element 605 will detect the moving length of the pipe fitting, so as to measure the moving pipe fitting to a suitable length for bending; 1. To clean the pipe fittings, the rotating drive member 610 is turned on to drive the transmission shaft 611 to rotate. The transmission shaft 611 drives the external sleeve 609 and the rotating sleeve 607 to rotate through the gear pair, so that the rotating sleeve 607 drives the cleaning brush 608 to rotate to clean the outer wall of the pipe fitting to prevent dirt from adhering to the outer wall of the pipe fitting; 2. Heating pipe fittings. During the process of the pipe fittings passing through the disc, the outer wall of the pipe fittings will contact each rotating wheel 708 and drive the rotating wheel 708 to rotate. The rotating rotating wheel 708 will drive the magnetizing piece 709 fixedly installed on the side to rotate. When the magnetizing piece 709 rotates to the magnetizing piece 709 provided on one side of the rotating rod 705, the two provided magnetizing pieces 709 will be magnetically adsorbed to drive one end of the rotating rod 705 to rotate upward and compress the first spring 707. After the rotating wheel 708 drives the magnetizing piece 709 to rotate and the two magnetically adsorbed magnetizing pieces 709 are separated from each other, the compressed first spring 707 will drive the rotating rod 705 to rotate downward, so that the lower end of the rotating rod 705 contacts the outer wall of the pipe fittings and generates an impact. The generated impact will cause the vibrating rod 710 to drive the first top block 711 to generate vibrations with different frequencies to impact the vibration detection element 713. The vibration detection element 713 generates corresponding electrical signals according to different vibration frequencies. The controller controls the voltage input to the heating element 703 through the generated electrical signals, so that the heating element 703 heats the pipe fittings; It should be noted that when the rotating rod 705 impacts different pipe fittings, the wall thickness of the pipe fittings will cause the rotating rod 705 to drive the vibrating rod 710 and the first top block 711 to generate vibrations with different frequencies. The controller will control the voltage input to the heating element 703 according to the vibrations with different frequencies detected by the vibration detection element 713, so that the heating element 703 generates corresponding temperatures to heat the pipe fittings. During the heating process of pipe fittings with different wall thicknesses, it can automatically detect and heat the pipe fittings. Especially for pipe fittings with different wall thicknesses, it can effectively detect and adjust to different heating powers to heat them. Through heating, the internal stress generated during the bending process of the pipe fittings can be alleviated, thereby reducing deformation and ensuring that the pipe fittings maintain the required shape and size. And heating the pipe fittings can reduce the hardness of the metal, making it softer, with better ductility and plasticity. In this way, the pipe fittings are not easy to break or have surface damage during bending, especially in the case of a large bending angle or a small bending radius; 3. Preheat the pipe fitting. During the process that the transmission shaft 611 is driven to rotate, the transmission shaft 611 drives the air outlet barrel 716 to rotate through the bevel gear pair 718. The rotating air outlet barrel 716 drives the fan to rotate through the cross bracket 717, so that the heated air inside the heating element 703 flows into the inside of the connecting cover 714, and then flows from the inside of the connecting cover 714 into the inside of the flow space through the connecting pipe 715, heating the rotating sleeve 607 and the cleaning brush 608. In this way, the pipe fitting can be preheated during the cleaning process of the cleaning brush 608. With the detection wall thickness cooperation of the temperature detection element and the vibration detection element 713, the heating temperature of the pipe fitting can be effectively adjusted, and the time and energy required for directly heating the pipe fitting can be reduced. Moreover, the heating can be made more uniform, avoiding local overheating or overcooling; 4. Cooling auxiliary pushing section. During the process that the existing pipe bender bends the pipe fitting, it is usually necessary to perform auxiliary pushing on the pipe fitting. This is because when the bending angle is large or the bending radius is small, the pipe fitting may require more external force to be pushed to ensure that the pipe fitting can smoothly pass through the pipe bending die. However, when the pipe fitting after instant heating is pushed by the second chuck 805, the part of the pipe fitting in contact with the second chuck 805 will also be heated due to the heating of the bent section of the pipe fitting, resulting in the temperature being transmitted to the auxiliary pushing section. In this way, the pipe fitting is easily deformed during auxiliary pushing, thus causing defective pipe fittings; During the rotation of the set transmission shaft 611 driven to rotate, the connecting pipe 816 is driven to rotate through the gear pair. The rotating connecting pipe 816 drives the rotating gear sleeve 819 to rotate, so that the clamping groove formed on the outer wall of the rotating gear sleeve 819 is in sliding contact with the second top block 821. When the end face of the rotating gear sleeve 819 contacts the second top block 821, the rotating gear sleeve 819 pushes the piston piece 815 to slide inside the pressure increasing barrel 814 and compress the third spring 822, causing the air pressure inside the pressure increasing barrel 814 to increase and the second one-way valve 820 to close. The air pressure between the piston piece 815 and the rotating gear sleeve 819 decreases and the first one-way valve 818 opens, and the cooled gas flows towards the space between the piston piece 815 and the rotating gear sleeve 819. When the inner wall of the clamping groove is in sliding contact with the second top block 821, the compressed third spring 822 pushes the piston piece 815 to reset, causing the air pressure inside the pressure increasing barrel 814 to decrease, the second one-way valve 820 to open, the air pressure between the piston piece 815 and the rotating gear sleeve 819 to increase, and the first one-way valve 818 to close. The cooled gas between the piston piece 815 and the rotating gear sleeve 819 flows into the pressure increasing barrel 814 through the second one-way valve 820. In this way, the cooled gas inside the cooling device is continuously pumped into the pressure increasing barrel 814. When the set length measuring element 605 detects that the pipe fitting has moved to the appropriate bending length, the controller controls the voltage input to the rotary drive member 610 to turn it off. At the same time, the two-dimensional drive device 5 and the linear drive device are turned on. The two-dimensional drive device 5 drives the second chuck 805 to correspond to the first chuck 804. The set flow hood 809 will slide and engage with the docking groove 810 at the upper and lower ends of the first docking box 806. The linear drive device drives the fixed clamping seat 4 to correspond to the guide seat 9. The base 1 controls the swing frame 3 to rotate, so that the fixed clamping seat 4 bends the pipe fitting. The two-dimensional drive device 5 simultaneously drives the second chuck 805 and the first chuck 804 to move to assist in pushing the pipe fitting; Before the auxiliary pushing, the controller controls the voltage input to the solenoid valve to open the solenoid valve. The cooling gas inside the pressurizing barrel 814 flows into the inside of the flow groove 808 through the intake pipe 813 and the flow cover 809 to cool the second chuck 805 and the first chuck 804, and cool the auxiliary pushing end of the pipe fitting, so as to avoid the deformation of the pipe fitting when the second chuck 805 and the first chuck 804 perform auxiliary pushing on the pipe fitting. After being cooled, the cooling gas flowing inside the flow groove 808 flows into the inside of the airbag 824 through the outlet pipe 823 and the third one-way valve. It should be noted that the gas entering the inside of the airbag 824 can be discharged to the outside or refluxed into the cooling device for reuse respectively according to the types of gases used. Some pipe fittings that require precision machining need some special gases for rapid cooling, such as nitrogen, carbon dioxide and other gases, which are used to rapidly cool the auxiliary pushing section of the pipe fitting. By connecting the reflux pipe 825 to the inside of the cooling device, the gas can be refluxed into the cooling device for repeated use. For some pipe fittings that require conventional bending, the auxiliary pushing section of the pipe fitting is cooled by the cooling air of the cooling device, and after being cooled, it can be directly discharged to the outside.
