The multiple brackets (31) are vertically fixed on the base (1). The main shaft (32) is horizontally rotated and sleeved in the multiple brackets (31). The second motor (29) is vertically fixed on the base (1) and located between the two main shafts (32). The second gear (30) is fixedly installed on the top of the output end of the second motor (29). The third gear (34) is fixedly installed on the end of the main shaft (32) near the second motor (29) and meshes with the second gear (30). The gear ring (33) is fixedly sleeved on the support ring (24). The fourth gear (35) is fixedly sleeved on the end of the main shaft (32) away from the second motor (29) and meshes with the gear ring (33). The pneumatic mechanism includes an air pump (36), a sealing block (37), and an airbag (38). The air pump (36) is fixedly installed on the bottom side of the crossbar (2). The sealing block (37) is fixedly sleeved on the crossbar (2). The airbag (38) is fixedly sleeved on the sealing block (37). The output end of the air pump (36) is fixedly sleeved inside the sealing block (37) and communicates with the inside of the airbag (38). A pressure relief pipe (39) is fixedly installed on the side of the sealing block (37). A solenoid valve device (40) is fixedly installed on the outer end of the pressure relief pipe (39). The inner end of the pressure relief pipe (39) is fixedly connected to the inside of the airbag (38). A pressure sensing device (41) is fixedly installed inside the airbag (38).
2. The straightening device for copper tube processing according to claim 1, characterized in that: The lifting component includes a stand (7), a slider (8), and a second telescopic cylinder (9). The stand (7) is vertically fixed on the base (1). The slider (8) is vertically slidably embedded in the stand (7). The second telescopic cylinder (9) is vertically set, and its upper and lower ends are fixedly connected to the inner top wall of the stand (7) and the top of the slider (8), respectively. The rotating component is rotatably installed in the slider (8).
3. A straightening device for copper tube processing according to claim 2, characterized in that: The rotating component includes a rotating block (10), a worm gear (11), a worm (12), and a first motor (13). The rotating block (10) is rotatably fitted inside the support block (3). The worm gear (11) is fixedly fitted on the rotating block (10). The first motor (13) is fixedly installed inside the slider (8). The worm (12) is horizontally fixedly installed at the output end of the first motor (13) and meshes with the worm gear (11). The crossbar (2) is horizontally slidably fitted inside the rotating block (10). The rotating block (10) is provided with a push-pull component for driving the crossbar (2) to move.
4. A method for straightening copper tubes using the straightening device for copper tube processing as described in any one of claims 1-3, characterized in that: The method includes: S1: One-time external straightening, the copper tube is sent into the external straightening assembly for surface contact external straightening; S2: Internal rolling straightening. The internal straightening component operates to perform reciprocating rolling treatment on the inner wall of the copper tube, thereby straightening the inner wall of the copper tube. S3: Secondary external straightening, two sets of external straightening components rotate synchronously in opposite directions to perform circumferential external straightening of the copper tube; S4: The inside of the copper tube is inspected. The cylindricity of the inner wall of the copper tube is tested by air pressure test. The cylindricity of the outside is controlled by the external straightening component, so as to ensure that the cylindricity of the copper tube is in a standard state. S5: Cutting and separating, separating the pipe section that has been straightened from the area to be straightened, completing the straightening and splitting operation.
