[0043] Working principle: as shown in Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 : when actually used, the pipe body 2 is subjected to tension adjustment through the tension adjusting mechanism 3, is subjected to surface cleaning through the cleaning structure 4, and finally enters the interior of the reducing die 5, so that the pipe body 2 can be subjected to reducing work through the reducing die 5.

[0044] As shown in Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown: the tension adjusting mechanism 3 adjusts the pipe body 2 when it is being reduced in diameter, the way of tension adjustment is: when the pipe body 2 is loose, the external switch of the driving cylinder 36 is started at this time, the output shaft of the driving cylinder 36 drives the driving seat 35 to move horizontally, when the driving seat 35 moves, the slide seat 32 and the limiting disc 31 on it are driven by the guide seat 34 to extrude the position of the pipe body 2, the originally loose pipe body 2 is forced to be straightened, and under the guidance of the guide wheel 41, it enters the inside of the cleaning structure 4 to be cleaned, the driving cylinder 36 is driven linearly, combined with the guide seat 34 and the slide seat 32, the space occupied is small, and it is suitable for integration into the pipe processing equipment, the stroke of the driving cylinder 36 can be accurately controlled, the extrusion degree can be adjusted according to the looseness of the pipe, the fine adjustment of the tension is realized, the extrusion mode of the limiting disc 31 avoids the damage to the surface of the pipe, and it is suitable for high-precision pipe processing; this tension adjusting mode can quickly restore the tension during the pipe reducing and conveying process, ensure the continuity of production, and consider the accuracy and reliability at the same time, and it is especially suitable for the pipe processing scene sensitive to tension fluctuation; when the limiting disc 31 moves horizontally, the slide seat 32 at the bottom is slidably arranged outside the slide rail 37, the limiting disc 31 during movement can be limited and guided, the stability of the limiting disc 31 during movement is guaranteed, and it will not be inclined;

[0045] As Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 10The pipe body 2 entering the inside of the cleaning frame 44 can be cleaned and cooled by the reverse cleaning disc 45, and can also play a lubricating role. The liquid enters the inside of the liquid inlet pipe 454, and then enters the inside of the front disc 451 and the rear disc 452 through the connecting pipe 453 respectively, and is sprayed out from the reverse jet head 4510 on the inner wall of the front disc 451 and the rear disc 452. The flushing liquid sprayed out from the end of the reverse jet head 4510 has an impact direction opposite to the movement direction of the pipe body 2. The reverse impact of the flushing liquid can effectively remove the oxide layer, debris and other impurities on the surface of the pipe, so that these pollutants are not pressed into the pipe body during the reducing process, thereby avoiding surface defects. Through the multi-angle reverse spraying of the front disc 451 and the rear disc 452, uniform cooling in the circumferential direction of the pipe can be realized, so as to prevent uneven thermal stress caused by local overheating, reduce the deformation and crack risk of the pipe after reducing, and form a continuous lubricating film on the surface of the pipe during the reverse impact of the flushing liquid. Especially when used in cooperation with the supercritical pipe lubricating mechanism 571, the friction coefficient between the pipe and the mold can be significantly reduced, and the reducing force demand can be reduced. The existence of the lubricating film can effectively reduce the wear of the mold, prolong the service life of the mold, maintain the surface precision of the mold, and ensure the stability of the reducing size. The hydraulic resistance generated by the reverse flushing can play a certain preforming role on the pipe, so that the pipe maintains stable coaxiality before entering the reducing mold 5, and reduces the problem of uneven wall thickness caused by eccentricity. The multi-angle layout of the reverse jet head 4510 can form a uniform pressure field around the pipe, offset the lateral deviation force that may be generated during the reducing process, and improve the reducing precision. The high-pressure flushing liquid of the reverse jet can better penetrate into the contact interface between the pipe and the mold, especially under the synergistic effect of the scCO2 lubrication, the boundary lubrication can be changed to fluid lubrication, and the generation of friction heat can be greatly reduced. During the movement of the pipe, the reverse flushing continuously supplements fresh lubricating liquid, avoids the failure of the lubricating film under high temperature and high pressure, and ensures the lubricating effect during the whole reducing process. The high-efficiency cleaning and cooling system can reduce the accumulation of impurities in the mold, reduce the downtime caused by cleaning the mold, and improve the continuous production capacity. Good lubrication and cooling conditions allow the pipe feeding speed in the reducing process to be increased, the production capacity is improved under the premise of ensuring the quality, the cooling effect of the flushing liquid can reduce the surface temperature of the pipe body 2, and the generation of thermal fatigue cracks can be reduced, which is especially important for the reducing mold core 57 subjected to high temperature and high pressure. The reverse flushing effectively removes the metal particles on the surface of the pipe, avoids the adhesion of these particles on the surface of the mold to form a tumor, and maintains the surface smoothness of the mold. Appropriate cooling rate can promote the dynamic recrystallization of the pipe during the reducing process, refine the grains, and improve the strength and toughness of the pipe. The reverse flushing design optimizes the pipe surface state, lubrication condition and thermal management through multi-dimensional optimization, provides a more stable processing environment for the subsequent reducing process, and finally improves the size precision, surface quality and production efficiency of the pipe.
