[0026] The induction heater 2, the electric positioning rod 11, the electric lifting rod 23, the electric pushing rod 25, the electric telescopic control rod 26, the electric telescopic rod 40, the speed reducer motor 41, the moving vehicle 52, the heating conveying belt 54 and the auxiliary conveying belt 55 in the embodiment are all conventional devices known by the person skilled in the art and purchased on the market, in the application, we only use them, and do not improve their structures and functions, the setting mode, the mounting mode and the electrical connection mode can be understood by the person skilled in the art as long as they are debugged and operated according to the requirements of the instruction manual, and here, they will not be described in detail.

[0027] In summary, the working principle of the continuous progressive neck-in machine is as follows: before use, the continuous progressive neck-in machine is first installed and placed as a whole at the desired use location, and the control circuit is installed for the induction heater 2, the electric positioning rod 11, the electric lifting rod 23, the electric pushing rod 25, the electric telescopic control rod 26, the electric telescopic rod 40, the reduction motor 41, the moving vehicle 52, the heating conveying belt 54, and the auxiliary conveying belt 55. Then, the controller is connected to the control circuit, and the operation of the controller and the control circuit can realize the coordinated operation of the induction heater 2, the electric positioning rod 11, the electric lifting rod 23, the electric pushing rod 25, the electric telescopic control rod 26, the electric telescopic rod 40, the reduction motor 41, the moving vehicle 52, the heating conveying belt 54, and the auxiliary conveying belt 55. During use, the induction heater 2 is first started. The front of the induction heater 2 is provided with an insertable through slot. When the material enters the through slot, the material can be heated. Then, the two reduction motors 41 are started. Under the transmission of the transmission pulley 42, the drive pulley 43, and the transmission belt set 44, the two reduction motors 41 drive the two transmission shafts 9 to rotate, respectively. The two transmission shafts 9 drive the two three-stage necking cylinders 7 to rotate, respectively. When the three-stage necking cylinders 7 rotate, the end face tooth rings 20 on them follow the movement. Through the meshing transmission of the linkage gear 8, the end face tooth rings 20 on the two-stage necking cylinders 6 will rotate in the opposite direction, so that the two two-stage necking cylinders 6 and the corresponding three-stage necking cylinders 7 form synchronous reverse rotation.

[0028] The material to be necked is placed on the heating conveyor belt 54. Since the heating conveyor belt 54 is provided with multiple spacing plates, the material between two adjacent spacing plates will move under the pushing action of the spacing plates to avoid the material slipping relative to the heating conveyor belt 54. The material placed on the heating conveyor belt 54 will move with the heating conveyor belt 54 into and through the through slot. The material passing through the through slot will be heated by the induction heater 2 to form the heated head of the material to be necked. The heated material will be conveyed by the heating conveyor belt 54 onto the auxiliary conveyor belt 55, and the further conveying of the heated material will be realized by the electric operation of the auxiliary conveyor belt 55. The electrically operated lifting rod 23 controls the lowering of the lifting frame 22. During the lowering of the lifting frame 22, the electrically operated telescopic control rod 26 realizes the relative lowering of the transmission double frame 35 in the adjusting frame 24. Since the transmission double frame 35 will drive the synchronous lowering of the two hinged ear frames 37, the lowering of the two hinged ear frames 37 will drive the two transmission curved rods 34, which will finally drive the two eccentric shafts 33, and finally realize the synchronous relative rotation of the two counter-rotating shafts 29. When the two counter-rotating shafts 29 rotate synchronously, the corresponding front counter-rotation clamping frames 30 on the two counter-rotating shafts 29 will open, and the corresponding rear counter-rotation clamping frames 31 on the two counter-rotating shafts 29 will also open. During this process, the lower extension blocking rod 32 will also rotate and lift. When the corresponding front counter-rotation clamping frames 30 on the two counter-rotating shafts 29 are fully opened, the corresponding rear counter-rotation clamping frames 31 on the two counter-rotating shafts 29 will also be fully opened. The height of the lifting frame 22 is continuously controlled by the electrically operated lifting rod 23 until the lower end of the lower extension blocking rod 32 is lower than the supporting conveying surface of the auxiliary conveyor belt 55, and the lowest end of the front counter-rotation clamping frame 30 and the rear counter-rotation clamping frame 31 is higher than the highest position of the material on the auxiliary conveyor belt 55. In this state, when the material is conveyed from left to right by the operation of the auxiliary conveyor belt 55, the material can pass under the front counter-rotation clamping frame 30 and the rear counter-rotation clamping frame 31, and the material can be blocked by the lower extension blocking rod 32 to avoid excessive displacement of the material through the working area of the taking and placing system. The text and drawings of the present embodiment only include a single heating conveyor belt 54 and a single auxiliary conveyor belt 55. In actual use, multiple heating conveyor belts 54 and multiple auxiliary conveyor belts 55 can be used according to the specific length of the material.

[0029] Further, when the downwardly extending blocking rod 32 forms a block to the material, the electric telescopic control rod 26 controls the transmission double connecting frame 35 to form a position elevation in the adjusting frame 24 to realize the reverse rotation clamping of the two front counter-rotating clamping frames 30 which are in a rotating state of separation, and also causes the reverse movement of the two rear counter-rotating clamping frames 31 which are in a rotating state of separation to form a movement closure. In this process, the downwardly extending blocking rod 32 forms an auxiliary pushing from right to left to the blocked material to make the material enter between the two front counter-rotating clamping frames 30 which are about to be closed by rotation, and at the same time, the material also enters between the two rear counter-rotating clamping frames 31 which are about to be closed by rotation, and when the two front counter-rotating clamping frames 30 are closed by rotation, they can form clamping to the material, and when the two rear counter-rotating clamping frames 31 are closed by rotation, they can also form clamping to the material. Then the electric lifting rod 23 works to control the lifting frame 22 to form a relative elevation with respect to the cantilever frame 21 to realize the lifting of the material clamped between the two front counter-rotating clamping frames 30 and the two rear counter-rotating clamping frames 31. When the material enters the height matching with the primary necking cylinder 5, the electric pushing rod 25 is electrically operated to realize the sliding adjustment of the adjusting frame 24 with respect to the lifting frame 22 to make the material form insertion with respect to the primary necking cylinder 5. Since the primary necking cylinder 5, the secondary necking cylinder 6 and the tertiary necking cylinder 7 are sequentially arranged from front to back, during the insertion of the material, the material will enter the primary necking cylinder 5, the secondary necking cylinder 6 and the tertiary necking cylinder 7 in sequence according to the insertion range of the material. Since the inner diameters of the primary necking cylinder 5, the secondary necking cylinder 6 and the tertiary necking cylinder 7 are gradually reduced, the necking degree formed by the primary necking cylinder 5, the secondary necking cylinder 6 and the tertiary necking cylinder 7 is gradually increased. Since the secondary necking cylinder 6 and the tertiary necking cylinder 7 are in a relatively synchronous rotating state, because the secondary necking cylinder 6 and the tertiary necking cylinder 7 form a relative rotation with respect to the material, it can reduce the friction force during the insertion of the material and help the necking end of the material to better adapt to the shape and position in the secondary necking cylinder 6 and the tertiary necking cylinder 7, so the rotating insertion of the material is easier than the direct insertion, and the necking efficiency and quality of the material are also better. After the necking of the material is completed, the electric pushing rod 25 is operated to realize the relative forward movement of the adjusting frame 24 to make the material be drawn out with respect to the tertiary necking cylinder 7, the secondary necking cylinder 6 and the primary necking cylinder 5 in sequence. After the material necked completely is completely drawn out of the primary necking cylinder 5 and has a sufficient safety distance with respect to the primary necking cylinder 5 and the workbench 1, the electric pushing rod 25 stops running, the electric lifting rod 23 is operated to realize the lowering of the material, and finally the electric telescopic control rod 26 is operated to control the relative rotation opening of the two front counter-rotating clamping frames 30 which clamp the material and also control the relative rotation opening of the two rear counter-rotating clamping frames 31 which clamp the material to make the material fall on the auxiliary conveying belt 55 again. When the material is repositioned with respect to the auxiliary conveying belt 55, the lifting frame 22 should be lifted again after the material falls on the auxiliary conveying belt 55, and the lifting range of the lifting frame 22 is based on the premise that the material can move from the lower side of the downwardly extending blocking rod 32 again,After the auxiliary conveying belt 55 runs to realize the continuous right movement of the materials re-falling on the auxiliary conveying belt 55 until the movement and unloading of the materials on the auxiliary conveying belt 55 are completed.

[0030] Further, when the corresponding work material is a rod, the transmission plate 45 is pushed backward by the electric telescopic rod 40, the transmission plate 45 drives the insertion cylinder 13 to move backward through the prismatic cylinder shaft 10, and the multiple outwardly expanding arc plates 14 at the front end of the insertion cylinder 13 are synchronously moved backward to exit the three-stage necking cylinder 7. Since the tapered column table 16 moves backward synchronously with the multiple outwardly expanding arc plates 14, the interference between the tapered column table 16 and the multiple outwardly expanding arc plates 14 and the rod inserted into the three-stage necking cylinder 7 to form necking work can be avoided. When the corresponding work material is a pipe, the transmission plate 45 is pulled forward by the electric telescopic rod 40, the multiple outwardly expanding arc plates 14 at the front end of the insertion cylinder 13 are synchronously moved forward to sequentially insert into the three-stage necking cylinder 7, the two-stage necking cylinder 6, and the one-stage necking cylinder 5, then the pipe to be reduced in diameter is sequentially inserted into the one-stage necking cylinder 5, the two-stage necking cylinder 6, and the three-stage necking cylinder 7, and the tapered column table 16 is moved by the electric positioning rod 11 through the transmission rod 17 and the expansion shaft 15 to control the movement of the tapered column table 16, so that the tapered column table 16 is further inserted into the area surrounded by the multiple outwardly expanding arc plates 14 to push the multiple outwardly expanding arc plates 14 outward, so as to expand the overall external size of the multiple outwardly expanding arc plates 14, thereby facilitating the auxiliary support of the pipe in the reduced diameter state, reducing the wrinkles of the pipe during necking, ensuring the necking quality of the pipe, and after the necking is completed, the electric positioning rod 11 is operated to move the tapered column table 16 forward relative to the multiple outwardly expanding arc plates 14, so that the elastic outward expansion of the multiple outwardly expanding arc plates 14 disappears, then the electric telescopic rod 40 is operated to move the multiple outwardly expanding arc plates 14 backward relative to the pipe, and finally the electric pushing rod 25 is operated to sequentially extract the material in the three-stage necking cylinder 7, the two-stage necking cylinder 6, and the one-stage necking cylinder 5, thereby completing the necking work of the pipe. Since the prismatic hole ring 12 is rotationally connected with the transmission pipe shaft 9, the prismatic cylinder shaft 10 in the prismatic hole ring 12 has good support effect, and the prismatic cylinder shaft 10 is fixedly connected with the transmission plate 45, so the prismatic cylinder shaft 10 has a limit in the rotation direction, that is, the transmission pipe shaft 9 rotates relative to the prismatic cylinder shaft 10, thereby ensuring that the multiple outwardly expanding arc plates 14 form stable support relative to the pipe during use, which can reduce the torsion of the pipe caused by the three-stage necking cylinder 7 and the two-stage necking cylinder 6 during rotation necking, thereby ensuring the necking quality of the pipe. Since two lifting frames 22 are used in this embodiment, the two lifting frames 22 are adjusted to form staggered lifting and lowering operation modes during actual operation, so as to facilitate the alternating taking and placing of the materials on the auxiliary conveying belt 55 by the two taking and placing systems. Thus, the operation interference between the two taking and placing systems can be reduced, and the overall operation efficiency of the continuous progressive head shrinking machine can be improved.
