[0002] A pipe bender is a mechanical device used to process metal pipes or tubes. It can bend straight pipes into the desired shape to meet the needs of various engineering and manufacturing fields. Pipe bender is commonly used to make pipes, pipe connectors, frame structures, etc.

[0003] The head of a pipe bender generally includes a feeding mechanism that can move the pipe in a straight line, and a bending mechanism for bending the pipe. Different molds are installed on the corresponding mechanisms during operation, so that pipes of different sizes can be bent. In existing pipe bender heads, the linear feeding mechanism and the bending mechanism are mostly controlled by hydraulic cylinders or by springs. However, since the oil supply of the hydraulic system is often unstable, the spring coefficient will also change after long-term use, resulting in the feeding mechanism and the bending mechanism having unstable speeds within the stroke, so that the feeding amount of the pipe by the linear feeding mechanism and the bending length of the pipe required by the bending mechanism cannot be accurately matched, which leads to errors in shape and size, or defects such as wrinkles when the pipe is bent, affecting the quality of the product.

[0004] In view of this, it is necessary to improve the head of the existing pipe bending machine. Utility Model Content

Therefore, when bending a pipe, the first servo motor and the second servo motor cooperate with each other to ensure that the feeding mechanism and the bending mechanism of the pipe are precisely synchronized, ensuring that the feed rate required for bending is the same as the feed rate of the pipe moving in the linear direction, thereby avoiding errors in the shape and size of the pipe caused by the asynchronous bending and feeding of the pipe. In addition, by installing guide rollers on the sliding seat, when the supporting mold feeds the pipe through the mold, the guide rollers can provide rolling support, making the position of the supporting mold more stable, thereby also avoiding the occurrence of bending defects to a certain extent.

When the swing frame 22 is not driven to move, the second abutment surface 332 and the first abutment surface 2341 are in a state parallel to each other, so that the mold on the support mold member 33 and the mold on the bending abutment member 234 can be in a corresponding state.

[0038] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0039] Since the feed amount of the first servo motor 341 and the second servo motor 41 is precisely controllable, when bending the pipe, the first servo motor 341 and the second servo motor 41 cooperate with each other, so that the feeding mechanism and the bending mechanism 23 of the pipe can be precisely synchronized, ensuring that the feed amount required for bending is the same as the feed amount of the pipe moving in the straight direction, thereby avoiding errors in the shape and size of the pipe caused by the asynchronous bending and feeding of the pipe; in addition, by installing the guide roller 312 on the sliding seat 31, when the supporting mold part 33 feeds the pipe through the mold, the guide roller 312 can provide rolling support, making the position of the supporting mold part 33 more stable, thereby also avoiding the occurrence of bending defects to a certain extent; it can be seen that the utility model solves the problem that the feed amount of the straight part of the existing pipe bending machine head and the length required by the bending mechanism 23 cannot be precisely matched, thereby improving the quality of the pipe products.

[0040] The utility model adopts servo motor control and rotating shaft rotation operation through servo data transmission control matching, which can complete the bending forming of products with thin pipe wall thickness and small pipe bending radius in the industry.

[0041] In addition, the swing arm assembly and the mold assembly are both detachable structures and can be installed on the left-hand rotating or right-hand rotating pipe bending machine head, which realizes the universal installation of left-hand bending and right-hand bending pipes, so that the pipe fittings can be bent in both left and right directions when bending the pipes, which has better versatility.
