[0002] In precision industrial fields such as refrigeration, medical, and aerospace, the end-diameter reduction and punching of thin-walled metal tubes are key processes.

[0040] Example 2:
[0041] Please see Figures 1-7The present invention provides an automatic punching and shrinking machine. Compared with Embodiment 1, this embodiment further includes: a shrinking assembly 8 comprising a placement frame 81 sliding on a slide rail of a Y-axis displacement assembly 7; a servo motor 82 with driving function is fixedly installed at the front end of the placement frame 81 by bolts, and a drive gear 83 is fixedly installed at the end of the transmission shaft of the servo motor 82; a gear disk 84 is meshed and driven on the side of the drive gear 83, and a rotary joint 85 is inserted and fixedly installed in the through hole at the center of the gear disk 84; the gear disk 84 is fixedly installed on the side of a rotating base plate 86, and a circular groove with a diameter ratio of 1:3 is provided on the side of the rotating base plate 86; an external cylinder 87 and an internal component 89 are fixedly installed in the circular groove on the side of the rotating base plate 86 respectively; three sets of external air rings 88 are fixedly installed at equal intervals on the outer side of the external cylinder 87, and the rotating base plate 86 is connected to the external air rings 88 via connecting pipes.
[0042] Three sets of air holes are equidistantly arranged on the wall of the outer cylinder 87, and the inner side of the outer air ring 88 is inserted and fixed to the outer side of the air hole of the outer cylinder 87; a first rubber column 881 is inserted and fixed to the inner side of the air hole of the outer cylinder 87; the first rubber column 881 is fixedly arranged on the outer arc surface of the first extrusion arc plate 882, and an outer liquid bladder 883 is fixedly arranged on the inner arc surface of the first extrusion arc plate 882.
[0043] The built-in component 89 includes a built-in cylinder 891 fixedly installed on the side of the rotating base plate 86; a rotary joint 85 is fixedly installed on the side of the built-in cylinder 891, and a second rubber column 892 is slidably disposed in the air hole of the cylinder wall of the built-in cylinder 891; the second rubber column 892 is fixedly installed on the inner arc surface of the second extrusion arc plate 893, and a built-in liquid bladder 894 is fixedly disposed on the outer arc surface of the second extrusion arc plate 893.
[0044] Both the external liquid bladder 883 and the internal liquid bladder 894 use microcapsules to encapsulate phase change materials inside the liquid bladder, and both the liquid bladder and the microcapsules of the external liquid bladder 883 and the internal liquid bladder 894 use cross-linked melamine-formaldehyde resin and its composite variant materials.
[0045] The working principle of an automatic punching and shrinking machine based on the above is as follows:
[0046] First, when using this device, place it in the work area, and then connect it to an external power source to provide the power required for its operation.
[0047] Second, the liquid guiding pipe 10 is placed in the pipe positioning assembly 4, and with the cooperation of the X-axis displacement assembly 6 and the Y-axis displacement assembly 7, the liquid guiding pipe 10 is connected to the head reduction assembly 8, and connected to the external heat exchange equipment through the valve and pipe set on the bottom side of the liquid guiding pipe 10; since the pipe head size on both sides of the liquid guiding pipe 10 is machined into a standard gear for standardized processing, the pipe head on the side of the liquid guiding pipe 10 is squeezed against the external liquid bladder 883 and the internal liquid bladder 894, and then the gas is forced into the external gas ring 88 and the internal cylinder 891 through the rotary joint 85 to increase the pressure, and then the first rubber column is pushed by the air pressure. 881 and the second rubber column 892 respectively push the first extrusion arc plate 882 and the second extrusion arc plate 893 to extrude the external liquid bladder 883 and the internal liquid bladder 894. Then, the heat exchange liquid for heat conduction enters the interior of the liquid guide pipe 10 through the valve and pipe on the bottom side of the liquid guide pipe 10 and exchanges heat with the external liquid bladder 883 and the internal liquid bladder 894. This causes the temperature of the phase change material inside the external liquid bladder 883 and the internal liquid bladder 894 to rise first and then fall, so that the external liquid bladder 883 and the internal liquid bladder 894 can fully adhere to the side pipe head of the liquid guide pipe 10. This realizes the uniform and controllable radial force and intelligent thermal management during the head reduction process.
[0048] Third, the pipes to be processed are sequentially fed into the equipment via the feeding machine 2 on the left side of the main frame 1. The belt drive assembly 41 starts, and its servo motor drives the pulleys and belts to form a continuous conveyor line, transporting the pipes from the left to the working area on the right. The blocking assembly 3 provides initial guidance and arrangement for the pipes, ensuring their orderly entry into the processing area. When the pipes are transported to the front of the blocking assembly 47, the sensor on the displacement frame 46 and the positioning sensor 91 perform position sensing, pausing the conveying for precise positioning. After receiving the pipe arrival signal, the unit controller 472 energizes the second C-shaped coil ring 477, generating a strong magnetic field. Simultaneously, the first C-shaped coil ring 473 is energized, generating a magnetic field that drives the cast iron plate 474 to move rapidly towards the opening of the coil ring. Since the cast iron plate 474 is fixed to the connecting sleeve shaft 475, it causes the connecting sleeve shaft 475 to rotate, causing the flipping plates 476 fixed at both ends to quickly stand up, accurately stopping and passing through the second C-shaped coil ring. The magnetic field of the coil ring 477 attracts and positions the tube; then, the drive motor 43 drives the lead screw 44, and with the special design of the electromagnetic collar 45, the outer ring of the electromagnetic collar 45 generates a magnetic field after being energized, locking the internal screw hole sleeve and displacement frame 46, so that the rotating lead screw displacement frame 46 interacts with the fixed electromagnetic collar 45, converting it into linear motion, thereby pushing the entire displacement frame 46 and its blocking component 47 to move synchronously to the right along the fixed frame 42, accurately pushing the tube to the processing station below the shrinking head component 8; with the fine adjustment action of the X-axis displacement component 6 and the Y-axis displacement component 7, the axis of the shrinking head plate 9 is ensured to be completely aligned with the axis of the tube; by controlling the start of the servo motor 82, the drive gear 83 drives the gear disk 84 and the rotating base plate 86 to rotate synchronously; the external cylinder 87 and the internal component 89 fixed on the rotating base plate 86 rotate together, and with the displacement adjustment of the X-axis displacement component 6, the end of the tube is spun to compress the opening or punched;
[0049] Fourth, when the pipe needs to be released, the unit controller cuts off the current to the first C-shaped coil ring, and the magnetic field disappears; at the same time, it energizes the second C-shaped coil ring 477, and the reverse magnetic field or pulling force generated by it will assist the flip plate to quickly reset and fall down according to the winding direction, thus releasing the obstruction to the pipe; then the Y-axis displacement component 7 drives the shrinking head component 8 and shrinking head plate 9 to reset, ready for the next work cycle, and the processed pipe is transmitted to the next process by the belt drive component 41.
[0050] This invention provides an improved automatic punching and shrinking machine. By integrating a feeder 2, a belt drive assembly 41, a baffle assembly 3, and a blocking assembly 47, it achieves fully automatic conveying and precise positioning of the pipe. The blocking assembly 47 adopts the electromagnetic drive principle. Through the alternating energization of the first C-shaped coil ring and the second C-shaped coil ring, it quickly realizes the standing up, stopping, and resetting release of the flipping plate. Combined with magnetic field adsorption, it ensures stable positioning of the pipe. During the shrinking process, the X-axis displacement assembly 6 and the Y-axis displacement assembly 7 are coordinated with the shrinking assembly 8 to ensure precise alignment between the shrinking plate 9 and the pipe axis. At the same time, the external air ring 88 and the internal cylinder 891 drive the rubber column to squeeze the liquid bladder and the heat exchange liquid circulation system to achieve uniform control and intelligent thermal management of the radial force during the shrinking or punching process of the pipe end, effectively improving processing accuracy and process consistency.
