Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of copper tube cutting, and specifically to a copper tube cutter for refrigeration fitting processing. Background Art

[0002] In the field of refrigeration fitting processing, the traditional method of cutting copper tubes from the outside has many limitations, which makes the need for internal cutting from the outside increasingly prominent.

[0003] On the one hand, some refrigeration fittings have special structures, such as copper tube components with multiple layers of nesting and complex inner walls. External cutting is difficult to accurately cut specific parts, and may also damage the surrounding structures. Internal cutting from the outside can penetrate into the interior of the copper tube to precisely truncate the designated position, meeting the processing requirements of complex fittings, improving product accuracy and adaptability. On the other hand, when cutting from the outside, the tool is unevenly stressed, easily generating large vibrations and noises, which not only affect the cutting quality but also accelerate tool wear. When cutting from the inside to the outside, the tool is relatively evenly stressed, which can effectively reduce vibrations and noises, extend the tool life, reduce the tool replacement frequency and cost. In addition, after external cutting of some copper tubes, problems such as burrs and deformation are likely to occur at the ports, requiring additional grinding and shaping processes. Internal cutting from the outside can better control the incision shape during cutting, reduce burrs and deformation, lower subsequent processing costs and time, and improve production efficiency. More importantly, with the development of refrigeration equipment towards miniaturization and integration, the requirements for the cutting accuracy and surface quality of copper tubes are getting higher and higher. Internal cutting from the outside can better meet these stringent standards, ensure the sealing and stability of the refrigeration system, and improve the overall performance and quality of refrigeration equipment.

[0030] Usage method and working principle of this device: Usage method Equipment placement: Carefully place the entire cutter into the interior of the copper pipe to be cut, ensuring that the equipment is located on the central axis of the copper pipe, laying the foundation for subsequent operations. Parameter setting: The operator sets the telescopic parameters of the first electric telescopic rod 12 and the second electric telescopic rod 302, as well as the operating parameters such as the rotation speed of the motor 505, according to requirements such as the diameter of the copper pipe and the cutting length, through the electric control handle 6 on the outer wall of the integrated pipe 501. Start operation: Press the start button, and the equipment starts to run, sequentially completing a series of operations such as positioning, cutting, and debris collection. Completion of cutting: After the cutting operation is completed, the equipment automatically stops running. Turn off the power of the equipment through the electric control handle 6, and remove the cutter from the copper pipe. The debris in the collection bin 407 can be discharged and cleaned through the micro-gate 409. Working principle Intelligent positioning and adaptive expansion: After the equipment starts, the first electric telescopic rod 12 starts to work. Its output end pushes the sliding sleeve 201 to move axially along the mounting sleeve 1. The rotating seat 202 on the outer wall of the sliding sleeve 201 drives the transmission flexure arm 203 to rotate, causing the four transmission mounting seats 204 to gradually expand outwards. When the rotation pressure sensor 206 in the transmission mounting seat 204 is in close contact with the inner wall of the copper pipe, the sensor senses the wall pressure and distance in real time and feeds the data back to the control system. Based on this data, the control system precisely adjusts the expansion degree of the transmission mounting seat 204, enabling the cutter to be firmly positioned inside the copper pipe, while optimizing the cutting position, reducing the friction between the cutting tool and the pipe wall during cutting, and ensuring the accuracy and stability of the cutting work. Efficient rotary cutting: After positioning, the adjustable cutting mechanism 3 and the rotating assembly 5 work together. The second electric telescopic rod 302 pushes the mounting plate 303. The second limit sliding block 307 on the outer surface of the mounting plate 303 cooperates with the third limit sliding groove 306 of the first mounting groove 301 to guide, driving the cutting tool 304 to move smoothly and pass through the through-hole 308 of the dust-proof cover 305, contacting the inner wall of the copper pipe. At the same time, the motor 505 starts, and the gear 507 at its output end meshes with the gear ring 508, driving the entire cutter to rotate inside the copper pipe. The cutting tool 304 makes a circular motion along the inner wall of the copper pipe as the equipment rotates, achieving 360° continuous cutting to ensure that the copper pipe is completely cut off. This rotary cutting method can not only reduce the accumulation of cutting errors, make the cutting section smoother, but also evenly distribute the force on the cutting tool, reduce the cutting resistance, reduce the equipment load, and extend the service life of the cutting tool and the equipment. Synchronous debris collection: During the cutting process, the motor 505 in the rotating assembly 5 drives the powerful fan 509 to operate simultaneously, generating negative pressure suction. The dust suction bin 402, the first connecting pipe 403, the telescopic hose 404, the sliding connecting seat 405, the second connecting pipe 406, and the collection bin 407 form a closed air flow channel. The debris generated by cutting scatters around due to the centrifugal force and air flow disturbance generated by rotation, and is quickly sucked into the collection bin 407 under the action of negative pressure suction. The partition net 408 at the bottom of the collection bin 407 effectively blocks the debris to prevent it from entering the powerful fan 509 and causing damage.When the accumulation amount of debris in the collection bin 407 reaches the preset value, the electromagnetic control type micro-gate 409 linked with the equipment's electronic control system automatically opens to discharge the debris. During this process, the sliding connection seat 405 slides flexibly within the sliding notch 21. The limit protrusion on its side cooperates with the limit sliding groove to ensure the accurate moving direction. At the same time, the reserved length margin of the telescopic hose 404 ensures that during the cutting process, regardless of how the diameter of the copper pipe changes, the debris collection pipeline always remains connected, and the suction force is stably transmitted, efficiently completing the debris collection work, maintaining the cleanliness inside the pipe, ensuring the continuous progress of the cutting operation, precise control and coordinated operation: The operator manipulates the equipment outside the copper pipe through the electronic control handle 6 and the tail holding handle 61. The electronic control handle 6 can remotely send instructions to precisely control the telescoping of the first electric telescopic rod 12 and the second electric telescopic rod 302, as well as the rotation speed and start / stop of the motor 505, realizing precise operation. Various sensors built into the equipment continuously monitor the operating status of each component and cutting data, and feedback them to the external display terminal, facilitating the operator to monitor and adjust in real time, ensuring that each mechanism such as the expansion sensing mechanism 2, the adjustable cutting mechanism 3, the debris collection mechanism 4, and the rotating assembly 5 closely cooperate and operate orderly under the coordination of the control system, enabling the entire cutting process to be completed safely and efficiently.
