DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] In order for those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present application, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0028] Please refer to Figures 1-6 , the pneumatic clamping type pipe cutting device, comprising a pipe cutting machine 1 and a first cylinder 2 and a second cylinder 3 thereon, and the pipe cutting machine 1 is further provided with a fixed support 4, and the second cylinder 3 is provided with a moving support 5, further comprising:

[0029] a cutter 6, provided with an air inlet channel 61 and an air outlet channel 62, and the air inlet channel 61 and the air outlet channel 62 are in communication;

[0030] an elastic air bag 72, provided with an air inlet pipe 73 on one side and an air outlet pipe 74 on the other side;

[0031] The connecting frame 82 has fixed frames 83 at both ends, and a push wheel 85 is rotatably installed inside the fixed frame 83;

[0032] The friction wheel 84 rotates, which drives the propulsion wheel 85 to rotate, and the central through hole of the friction wheel 84 is provided with fan blades;

[0033] A limiting mechanism is used to open the vent pipe 74 when the cutter 6 retracts;

[0034] This also includes a fan connected to the other end of the pipe 10, allowing continuous airflow into the pipe 10. The free end of the pipe 10 is connected to a fixed bracket 4 and a movable bracket 5 for cutting. When cutting is required, the first cylinder 2 pushes the cutter 6 to cut the pipe 10. After cutting, the air inlet channel 61 on the cutter 6 aligns with the pipe 10. At this time, due to the fan blowing air, the gas enters the air outlet channel 62 through the air inlet channel 61 on the cutter 6, and then enters the two elastic airbags 72 through the upper and lower openings of the air outlet channel 62 via two air inlet pipes 73. The 3 is equipped with a one-way valve so that air can only be introduced into the elastic airbag 72. Therefore, after the air inlet channel 61 and the pipe 10 are connected, the elastic airbag 72 will be continuously inflated until it is full. At this time, the cutter 6 is withdrawn, and the air outlet pipe 74 is opened by the limiting mechanism. At this time, the airflow in the elastic airbag 72 will enter the fixed frame 83 through the air outlet pipe 74 and pass through the center of the friction wheel 84. The fan blade at the center of the friction wheel 84 will drive the friction wheel 84 to rotate. At this time, the rotation of the friction wheel 84 will drive the push wheel 85 to rotate. The two push wheels 85 and the pipe 10 are in contact to push the pipe 10 forward for the next round of cutting.

[0035] The fixed end of the pipe fitting 10 is wound on the take-up roller. Since the take-up roller is easier to rotate and feed, the push wheel 85 can more easily push the pipe fitting 10.

[0036] In another embodiment of the present invention, a mounting plate 64 is also included;

[0037] The air intake passage 61 is L-shaped;

[0038] The intake passage 61 is horizontally L-shaped. When designing the intake passage 61 and the exhaust passage 62, refer to... Figure 4 First, drill a horizontal hole on the front of the cutter 6. Then, drill a horizontal hole on the side of the cutter 6 until it connects with the horizontal hole drilled on the front. This forms an L-shaped air intake channel 61. The air outlet channel 62 can be drilled directly from top to bottom through a hole. Then, install the side of the cutter 6 on the mounting plate 64. At this time, the outlet of the air intake channel 61 is blocked. At the same time, the cutter 6 can be installed on the first cylinder 2 through the mounting plate 64.

[0039] Another embodiment of the present application: the limiting mechanism comprises a vertical plate 75 fixedly installed on the pipe cutting machine 1, a sliding plate 76 horizontally slidingly installed on the vertical plate 75, a blocking plate 77 fixedly installed on one end of the sliding plate 76, and a spring fixedly installed between the sliding plate 76 and the vertical plate 75;

[0040] The tool 6 is fixedly installed with a protrusion 63;

[0041] When the inflation of the elastic air bag 72 is completed, the protrusion 63 on the tool 6 will contact the sliding plate 76 as the tool 6 is retracted, wherein the protrusion 63 is substantially located on the right side of the sliding plate 76, so that when the tool 6 is retracted to the left, the protrusion 63 will drive the sliding plate 76 to move to the left, and at this time, the sliding plate 76 will drive the blocking plate 77 to move to the left to remove the air outlet pipe 74, so that the inside of the air outlet pipe 74 is unobstructed, and the blocking plate 77 will not be completely removed from the surface of the air outlet pipe 74, thereby avoiding the overflow of gas. Figure 4

[0042] Another embodiment of the present application: the pipe cutting machine 1 is fixedly installed with a connecting plate 81, a connecting frame 82 is fixedly installed on the connecting plate 81, a friction ring 86 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the pushing wheel 85, and the friction ring 86 is in contact with the friction wheel 84;

[0043] When the friction wheel 84 rotates, it will drive the friction ring 86 to rotate, thereby driving the pushing wheel 85 to rotate to push the pipe 10 forward;

[0044] In a further embodiment, the air inlet pipe 73 and the air outlet pipe 74 are both provided as a combination of a soft pipe and a hard pipe, wherein the soft pipe part is connected with the elastic air bag 72, and the hard pipe part is used to be installed on other components, and the blocking plate 77 is inserted into the hard pipe of the air outlet pipe 74 to facilitate plugging;

[0045] The hard pipe part of the air inlet pipe 73 is fixedly installed on the fixed support 4, and the hard pipe part of the air outlet pipe 74 is fixedly installed on the connecting frame 82.

[0046] Another embodiment of the present application: the friction wheel 84 is fixedly installed with a sleeve ring 841, and the sleeve ring 841 is rotatably installed on the fixed frame 83;

[0047] The inner wall of the sleeve ring 841 is fixedly installed with a rotating rod 87, and the fan blades are fixedly installed on the rotating rod 87, the gas in the elastic air bag 72 enters the sleeve ring 841 through the air outlet pipe 74 and passes through the friction wheel 84, at this time, the airflow will pass through the fan blades to drive the friction wheel 84 to rotate through the sleeve ring 841, and with the rotation of the friction wheel 84, it will drive the pushing wheel 85 to rotate through the friction ring 86;

[0048] ​The size of the friction wheel 84 is larger than the size of the friction ring 86, so that one rotation of the friction wheel 84 can drive the friction ring 86 and the propelling wheel 85 to rotate several times, so that the propelling efficiency is higher, and it is also easier to drive the propelling wheel 85 to rotate;

[0049] Further, the surfaces of the friction wheel 84 and the friction ring 86 can be provided with tooth blocks and tooth grooves respectively to engage and obtain better transmission effect;

[0050] Further, a circular ring is fixedly installed on the pipe cutting machine 1, so that the pipe 10 penetrates through the circular ring to enter between the fixed support 4 and the moving support 5, so as to position and limit the pipe 10 to facilitate the pushing of the propelling wheel 85.

[0051] In another embodiment of the present application: the fixed support 4 and the moving support 5 are both provided with clamping rings 91, and the clamping rings 91 are provided with inner grooves 92 and observation holes;

[0052] The two clamping rings 91 can form a complete circular ring, so as to conveniently clamp the pipe 10, and when the pipe 10 penetrates into the two clamping rings 91, the pipe 10 is clamped by the moving of the moving support 5, so as to limit the movement of the pipe 10, and then the first air cylinder 2 is started to push the cutter 6 to cut the pipe 10, so that the cutting precision is higher and the surface of the pipe 10 is smoother. In the prior art, when the pipe 10 is clamped and cut, the fixed clamping mode has a single function, such as clamping, cutting, feeding, and re-cutting, and the damage inspection of the pipe 10 often needs additional steps. In the present application, when the cutting is just finished and the air inlet channel 61 of the cutter 6 is not communicated with the pipe 10, the cutter 6 blocks the opening of the pipe 10, and at this time, the fan is still started to blow air, which can cooperate with the clamping ring 91 to check the damage degree of the pipe 10. The two clamping rings 91 are both provided with inner grooves 92, so that the clamping ring 91 clamps the pipe 10 through the two sides, and there is space between the inner groove 92 and the pipe 10. If the pipe 10 is damaged, the airflow will enter the inner groove 92 through the damaged part and be sprayed out through the observation hole of the clamping ring 91. Further, a balloon or a floating paper sheet can be installed on the observation hole, so that it is easier to observe when the airflow is sprayed out. Therefore, in the present application, when the fan is used to blow air to the pipe 10 to be cut, the transportation problem of the pipe 10 can be solved, and the quality of the pipe 10 itself can be detected.

[0053] In another embodiment of the present application: the connecting frame 82 is concave;

[0054] The connecting frame 82 can connect two fixed frames 83 at the same time, so that the two push wheels 85 are located at the upper and lower ends of the pipe fitting 10 respectively, so as to push the pipe fitting 10 at the same time.

[0055] In another embodiment of the present invention: a fixing plate 71 is fixedly installed on the fixing bracket 4, and the elastic airbag 72 is fixedly installed on the fixing plate 71;

[0056] The elastic airbag 72 is mounted on the fixed bracket 4 via the fixed plate 71.

[0057] In another embodiment of the present invention: a rubber pad is provided on the propulsion wheel 85;

[0058] This increases the friction of the propulsion wheel 85 to facilitate the movement of its propulsion tube 10.

[0059] In another embodiment of the present invention: the blocking plate 77 is in the shape of an "I";

[0060] The upper and lower protruding ends of the blocking plate 77 can be inserted into the two air outlet pipes 74 respectively to block the passage.

[0061] The foregoing has only described certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention by way of illustration. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the foregoing drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
