Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of metal round tube processing equipment, and particularly to a metal round tube bending machine with a heating function. Background Art

[0002] When processing metal round tubes, a bending machine is required. Based on the plasticity of metal materials, under the drive of a transmission system, a continuous and uniform pressure is applied to the round tube through a bending die, causing plastic deformation of the local material of the round tube, so as to be bent into the required shape. It includes a hydraulic pipe bender, which uses a hydraulic system as a power source, and pushes a piston or an oil cylinder through hydraulic oil to generate a powerful pressure to bend the round tube, and can process round tubes with larger diameters and wall thicknesses.

[0003] The existing metal round tube bending machines still have the following problems in use: their equipment has poor adaptability. The assembly mechanism of the metal round tube is often of a fixed size, and it can only process single-specification pipes, making it difficult to meet the production requirements of multi-variety and small-batch. It is difficult to bend high-hardness materials (such as stainless steel and aluminum alloy), and it is easy to cause pipe cracking or equipment overload. Summary of the Invention

[0005] (II) Technical Solutions To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: A metal round tube bending machine with a heating function, including a frame. An assembly mechanism is arranged at the front end of the frame, and a bending mechanism is arranged at the rear end of the frame. The frame includes two mounting plates arranged symmetrically up and down. Two U-shaped frames are symmetrically fixedly connected between the rear side walls of the two mounting plates. Two shaft holes are symmetrically opened between the upper and lower side walls at the rear end of the mounting plate, and a strip-shaped groove is opened between the upper and lower side walls at the front end of the mounting plate. The assembly mechanism includes a connecting shaft rotatably connected in the shaft hole, and a first rotating guide wheel is rotatably connected between every two connecting shafts arranged symmetrically up and down. The assembly mechanism further includes a fastening bolt slidably connected in the strip-shaped groove, and a second rotating guide wheel is rotatably connected between every two fastening bolts arranged symmetrically up and down.

[0006] As a further scheme of the present invention: The assembly mechanism and the bending mechanism are configured with a heating mechanism. An assembly groove is opened between the central positions of the upper and lower side walls of the mounting plate. The heating mechanism includes a heater fixedly installed in the assembly groove, and a heating head is arranged at the center position of each of the opposite ends of the two heaters.

[0007] As a further solution of the present invention: at the rear ends of the outer side walls of the two U-shaped frames on the separated sides, a mounting seat is fixedly connected to each, and two mounting grooves are symmetrically arranged up and down between the front and rear side walls of the mounting seat.

[0008] As a further solution of the present invention: the bending mechanism includes hydraulic presses fixedly installed at the rear ends of the inner side walls of the two U-shaped frames. A movable shaft is arranged at the front end of the hydraulic press, and a pressing block is fixedly connected to the movable end on the front side of the movable shaft. A control line is fixedly connected to the control end at the rear side of the hydraulic press.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. In the present invention, by providing an adjustable metal round tube assembly mechanism, which includes two rotatable guide wheels at fixed stations and also includes two rotatable guide wheels with adjustable front and rear stations. After the front and rear station adjustment work is carried out, it can be fastened and limited through the locking assembly, and then different specifications of pipes can be adjusted and adapted to meet the bending production requirements of multi-variety and small-batch metal round tubes.

[0010] 2. In the present invention, by providing an upper and lower double heating mechanism at the bending part of the metal round tube, which includes two heaters, and heating heads are arranged at the opposite ends of both, the bending part of the metal round tube assembled by the assembly mechanism can be heated. For metal round tubes made of materials with high hardness and poor plasticity such as stainless steel, aluminum alloy, and titanium alloy, after heating (such as heating stainless steel to 600-850 °C), the yield strength of the material drops significantly, and the driving force required for bending can be reduced by 30%-50%, which can avoid the cracking of the pipe or the overload of the equipment caused by cold bending.
