[0037] In actual work, first, the pipe to be stamped is placed between the placing groove 43 and the guide rod 48, the supporting sleeve 46 can support the pipe to be stamped, and after the pipe is placed, the stamping machine 22 is started, the output end of the stamping machine 22 drives the movable block 24 and the stamping seat 31 to move downward under the guidance of the plurality of guide columns 23, the stamping seat 31 drives the first stamping head 35 and the second stamping head 36 to move downward through the mounting rod 33 and the supporting plate 34, since the first stamping head 35 is located directly below the stamping seat 31, the conical structure at the bottom of the first stamping head 35 contacts the top of the pipe to be stamped and drives the pipe to be stamped to move downward in the placing groove 43 during the movement of the stamping seat 31; The to-be-stamped pipe moves downward, pushing the support sleeve 46 and the piston plate 44 to move downward in the lifting groove 42, and compressing the second elastic member 45. The first stamping head 35 pushes the to-be-stamped pipe to move downward in the placing groove 43, and simultaneously pushes the first stamping head 35 and the support plate 34 to move upward, and drives the mounting rod 33 to compress the fourth elastic member 315 to move upward in the mounting groove 32. The mounting rod 33 moves upward in the mounting groove 32, and drives the two guide wheels 312 to move upward in the corresponding first guide groove 37 through the two telescopic rods 310; Reference Figure 11 When the piston plate 44 moves downward to the limit position in the lifting groove 42, the top of the first stamping head 35 contacts the bottom of the stamping seat 31, and then the two telescopic rods 310 and the two guide wheels 312 move to the top of the two first guide grooves 37, and move to the corresponding second guide grooves 38 under the action of the pushing force of the corresponding first elastic member 311. After the stamping seat 31 and the first stamping head 35 move downward to the limit position, the to-be-stamped pipe is pre-bent by the conical structure at the bottom of the first stamping head 35; After the pre-bending is completed, the output end of the stamping machine 22 is lifted, and the output end of the stamping machine 22 drives the stamping seat 31 to move upward through the movable block 24. The stamping seat 31 moves upward, and the mounting rod 33 moves downward in the mounting groove 32 under the action of the pushing force of the fourth elastic member 315 and the weight of the first stamping head 35 and the second stamping head 36. Since the two telescopic rods 310 and the two guide wheels 312 are located in the corresponding second guide grooves 38 at this time, the mounting rod 33 rotates under the action of the two guide wheels 312 and the two second guide grooves 38 during the downward movement in the mounting groove 32, so that the positions of the first stamping head 35 and the second stamping head 36 are automatically exchanged. The second stamping head 36 is located directly below the stamping seat 31, and when the mounting rod 33 returns to the bottom position, the two telescopic rods 310 and the two guide wheels 312 move from the two second guide grooves 38 to the bottom of the two first guide grooves 37.

During the downward movement of the stamping seat 31 and the second stamping head 36, the limiting rod at the bottom of the second stamping head 36 is inserted into the pipe with the completed flange to limit the inside of the pipe, and then when the second stamping head 36 moves downward to the limit position, the arc edge stamping work on the pipe is completed; After the arc edge stamping work is completed, the output end of the stamping machine 22 is lifted, and the installation rod 33 moves downward in the installation groove 32, the positions of the first stamping head 35 and the second stamping head 36 are automatically exchanged again, the first stamping head 35 is located directly below the stamping seat 31, and the next pipe stamping is prepared, thereby reducing manual intervention and accident risk, shortening downtime, improving the degree of automation of the equipment and processing efficiency; It should be noted that, in the process of moving the first stamping head 35 downward to stamp the arc edge of the pipe, referring to Figures 10 to 12 , the top of the guide rod 48 can always be in contact with the bottom of the first stamping head 35 under the pushing force of the third elastic member 49, which can prevent the pipe from being squeezed inward during the arc edge stamping process and avoid deformation of the pipe. At the same time, the pipe is pushed out of the placement groove 43 after stamping is completed, which is convenient for taking.

[0039] In summary, through the arrangement of the stamping assembly 3, in the process of lifting the output end of the stamping machine 22 during the arc edge stamping of the pipe, the positions of the first stamping head 35 and the second stamping head 36 can be automatically exchanged, without the need for manual replacement of the mold and the stamping head.
