Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of metal pipe drilling, in particular to an automatic metal casting machining device. BACKGROUND

[0002] Bending and drilling of small-diameter thin-wall metal cast pipe fittings are core machining processes, which are widely used in high-end equipment fields. With the increasing demand for precision of parts in downstream industries, the technical bottlenecks of traditional machining devices are increasingly prominent. 1. Most existing bending devices are point contact structures, which may cause pipe bulging and cross-section distortion due to uneven force transmission. The linear driving trajectory is not suitable for bending requirements, making it difficult to accurately control the angle and causing residual stress. Some devices lack reliable self-locking mechanisms, which may cause displacement during bending and reduce machining precision. 2. In the connection between bending and drilling, existing devices lack pre-pressing structures for bulging risk areas, and only rely on single clamps for positioning after bending, which is difficult to form stable positioning and may cause secondary drilling errors due to reference deviation. The self-locking performance of the brake motor of some devices is insufficient, which further affects the precision. 3. Traditional decentralized layout requires pipe transfer across equipment, increasing time cost and positioning error. Unreasonable space design causes drilling blind spots, which requires additional hole filling processes and low production efficiency. In summary, existing devices have deficiencies in bending precision, deformation suppression, and process connection, and an integrated, high-precision automatic machining device is needed to solve these problems.

[0008] Preferably, to enable the bending rod to bend small-diameter thin-walled cast pipe fittings, the bending assembly includes: an annular block, a connecting block, a circular block, and a bending rod. The annular block is sleeved on the right end of the limiting post via a first bearing.

[0010] Preferably, in order to drive the arc-shaped limiting block to prevent the pipe from bending and causing bulging deformation, and to perform pre-pressure limiting and fixing, the second driving component includes: a flat brake motor, a gear, and a second rack.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. The bending assembly uses a curved, drum-shaped bending rod and mandrel that precisely match the contours of the pipe's outer wall arc, forming surface contact rather than point contact during bending. This ensures uniform force transmission and prevents bulging deformation caused by localized compression. The first drive assembly drives the first rack to mesh with the hollow gear via a second electric push rod, causing the bending rod to move in an arc along the semi-circular groove. This motion trajectory, highly compatible with the bending requirements of the pipe, creates a buffering effect that precisely controls the bending angle, reduces stress concentration, and ensures no distortion of the pipe's inner wall cross-section. The self-locking characteristics of the second electric push rod and the hollow gear ensure the bending rod remains stable during bending, preventing loosening or displacement due to external forces, providing continuous assurance for high-precision bending.

[0012] 2. Before bending, the third electric push rod drives the arc-shaped limiting block to move downwards, cooperating with the second drive component to precisely position the arc-shaped limiting block to the risk area of ​​bulging during pipe bending, achieving pre-compression fixation and suppressing bulging deformation from the source. After bending, the telescopic clamp, mandrel, arc-shaped limiting block, and bending rod form a four-end absolute limit, firmly fixing the bent pipe. The limiting device and the fixed structure are designed to be collinear, ensuring that the limiting reference and the fixed reference are consistent, providing a stable and unified reference surface for subsequent drilling, significantly improving drilling accuracy. At the same time, the self-locking capability of the flat brake motor ensures the stability of the pre-compression and fixation of the arc-shaped limiting block, avoiding secondary errors caused by pipe displacement during processing.

[0013] 3. This invention integrates the three core processes of pipe fixing, bending, and limiting into a single device through component integration design, reducing the transfer time and positioning error of pipes between different devices and significantly improving production efficiency. In terms of spatial layout, the triangularly distributed support rods provide ample operating space for the external drilling equipment on the right side, and in conjunction with the robotic arm's flipping operation of the pipes, it can achieve drilling without dead angles after bending, solving the problem of drilling blind spots caused by clamping obstruction in traditional devices.

The second electric push rod 271 is disposed at the rear end of the bottom surface of the second support plate 13. The second electric push rod 271 is used to drive the first rack 272 to move up and down in a limited manner. The second electric push rod 271 has a self-locking capability and is capable of high thrust output. The first rack 272 is disposed at the pushing end of the second electric push rod 271 and is embedded in two first moving slots 24. The hollow gear 274 can move in a limited manner within the two first moving slots 24. The limiting post 273 is disposed between the centers of the inner walls of the first chamber 23. It also serves to support the hollow gear 274; the hollow gear 274 is sleeved on the left end of the limiting post 273, and the hollow gear 274 can be limited to rotate on the outer wall of the limiting post 273.

The mandrel 26 is the main component for bending small-diameter thin-walled cast pipe fittings. The bending rod 284 and the mandrel 26 adopt an arc-shaped waist drum structure, with wide support sections at both ends and a narrowing transition section in the middle. The overall outline is adapted to the arc shape of the outer wall of the small-diameter thin-walled cast pipe fitting.

[0022] As a preferred option, further, such as Figure 8 , Figure 9 , Figure 10 and Figure 11As shown, the limiting device 3 includes: a third electric push rod 31, a second rectangular block 32, a second chamber 33, a second moving groove 34, a second drive assembly 35, a connecting rod 36, and an arc-shaped limiting block 37.

[0023] As a preferred option, further, such as Figure 9 , Figure 10 and Figure 11As shown, the second drive assembly 35 includes: a flat brake motor 351, a gear 352, and a second rack 353. The flat brake motor 351 is located at the center of the right end of the top surface of the inner wall of the second chamber 33.

The second rack 353 can... The device can move within two second moving slots 34, which extend to the rear end. The bottom of the extended end of the second rack 353 is connected and fixed to the top of the connecting rod 36. The second rack 353 meshes with the gear 352. The flat brake motor 351 can drive the gear 352 to rotate, thereby driving the gear 352 to drive the connecting rod 36 to move the arc-shaped limiting block 37. This second drive assembly 35 drives the arc-shaped limiting block 37 to achieve precise limiting movement. The self-locking characteristic of the flat brake motor 351 ensures the stability of the pre-pressed fixing of the arc-shaped limiting block 37, providing stable drive support for the anti-deformation fixing of small-diameter thin-walled cast pipes during bending.

[0024] Its detailed connection methods are well-known technologies in this field. The following mainly introduces the working principle and process, and the specific work is as follows: The small-diameter thin-walled cast pipe fittings are gripped by the robotic arm and placed into the clamping end of the telescopic clamp 15. The telescopic clamp 15 completes the loading and fixing of the small-diameter thin-walled cast pipe fittings. This structure has a certain degree of versatility and is suitable for pipe fittings of any size and model in the small-diameter thin-walled cast pipe fittings. The telescopic clamp 15 drives the bend of the small-diameter thin-walled cast pipe to the space between the mandrel 26 and the flat brake motor 351. Then, the first electric push rod 14 drives the small-diameter thin-walled cast pipe to move downward and contact the mandrel 26. The third electric push rod 31 drives the arc-shaped limiting block 37 downward. At the same time, the flat brake motor 351 drives the arc-shaped limiting block 37 to pre-press and fix the top of the small-diameter thin-walled cast pipe at the bulge caused by the bend. This prevents the top of the pipe from bulging due to the bending force, thereby improving the quality of the pipe bending and completing the pre-bending work of the small-diameter thin-walled cast pipe. Then, the hollow gear 274 is driven to rotate by the second electric push rod 271, causing the bending rod 284 to rotate and move to a limit position. The bending rod 284 and the mandrel 26 work together to bend the small-diameter thin-walled cast pipe. The bending method of this structure can adjust the bending angle of the small-diameter thin-walled cast pipe and has a certain degree of versatility and flexibility. At the same time, the bending rod 284 bends the small-diameter thin-walled cast pipe in a semi-circular bending motion. This semi-circular arc motion fits the pipe to achieve buffer protection during the bending process, accurately matches the bending trajectory of the pipe, effectively disperses the bending stress, avoids defects such as cross-sectional distortion caused by uneven local extrusion at the bending point, and ensures the quality and precision of the bent pipe. At this point, the bent small-diameter thin-walled cast pipe is fixed by the absolute limiting of the four ends of the telescopic clamp 15, mandrel 26, arc-shaped limiting block 37, and bending rod 284, providing a high-quality and high-precision processing foundation for the subsequent drilling of the small-diameter thin-walled cast pipe. The drilling equipment that can be adjusted at multiple angles can be placed on the right side of the invention for drilling. Since there is a drilling blind spot and obstruction on the left side of the bent small-diameter thin-walled cast pipe, the bent small-diameter thin-walled cast pipe can be flipped over by the robotic arm. Similarly, the telescopic clamp 15, mandrel 26, arc-shaped limiting block 37, and bending rod 284 are fixed with the same fixing force, and the multi-angle adjustable drilling equipment can drill the bent pipe without clamping dead angles through the invention.
