Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of steel pipe production, in particular to a steel pipe straightening machine. Background Art

[0002] The steel pipe straightening machine is a mechanical device used to straighten and repair bent and deformed steel pipes. Its basic principle is to forcibly straighten the bent steel pipe by applying external force. The following are some of the main functions and features of the steel pipe straightening machine: 1. Repair bent steel pipes: Its main function is to restore the bent and deformed steel pipes caused by use or external force to a straight state so that they can be used normally again. 2. Non-damage straightening: When using the steel pipe straightening machine for straightening, it can ensure that there is no indentation or shrinkage on the surface of the straightened steel pipe, maintaining the integrity and performance of the steel pipe.

[0003] Steel pipes usually have a hollow cross-section, so during the straightening process, excessive pressure may cause the surface of the steel pipe to deform and sink toward the hollow interior, thereby affecting the subsequent normal use of the steel pipe. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a steel pipe straightening machine to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, so as to achieve the effect of ensuring the quality of the steel pipe.

[0005] In view of this, the utility model provides a steel pipe straightening machine including a machine base, on which is arranged:

[0006] A pressure roller assembly, the pressure roller assembly includes at least two groups arranged in an upper and lower manner, a pipe passage is arranged between the upper and lower pressure roller assemblies, and the pipe passage allows the steel pipe to pass through;

[0007] A driving assembly, the driving assembly is used to drive the pressing roller assembly to rotate, straighten the steel pipe and drive the steel pipe to be transmitted along the pipe passage;

[0008] The support structure is arranged in the pipe passage to prevent the steel pipe from being compressed and deformed inward.

[0009] In this technical solution, the steel pipe is fed into the pipe passing channel between the upper and lower pressure roller assemblies. The driving assembly rotates the pressure roller assembly to extrude and straighten the steel pipe and drive the steel pipe to be transmitted along the pipe passing channel. The supporting structure in the pipe passing channel prevents the steel pipe from being compressed and deformed inward, thereby ensuring the quality of the steel pipe.

[0010] Furthermore, the supporting structure is a solid rod having the same shape as the hollow cross-section of a standard steel pipe, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the solid rod gradually increases from the inlet end to the outlet end of the pipe passage, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the solid rod at the outlet end of the pipe passage is the same as the hollow cross-sectional area of ​​the standard steel pipe.

[0011] Furthermore, the solid rod is fixedly sleeved on a core shaft, the core shaft is longer than twice the length of the solid rod, and one end of the core shaft is placed on a support frame.

[0012] In the present technical solution, one end of the steel pipe is inserted into the solid rod at the entrance end of the pipe passage and is located between the two pressure roller assemblies. Therefore, the cross-sectional area of ​​the solid rod is small, so the steel pipe can be inserted on the outside. Then the driving assembly drives the steel pipe to be straightened and drives the steel pipe to slide along the pipe passage and slide outside the solid rod. As the cross-sectional area of ​​the solid rod becomes larger and larger, the steel pipe is straightened without excessive concave deformation. Even if there is any, it will be corrected by the solid rod. Then the steel pipe is continuously transmitted along the length direction of the core shaft until the end of the steel pipe is completely out of the pressure roller assembly. At this time, the support frame can be removed to pull out the steel pipe, and then the support frame is moved back to its original position to support the core shaft in the circumferential direction, and the end limits the core shaft to prepare for the straightening of the next steel pipe.

[0013] Furthermore, the edges where the four sides of the solid rod are connected are evenly transitioned through arcs.

[0014] In this technical solution, it is convenient for the steel pipe to slide outside the solid rod.

[0015] Furthermore, the pressure roller assembly includes a rotating shaft, a pressure wheel is fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating shaft, and an annular groove is provided on the pressure wheel.

[0016] Furthermore, a plurality of groups of pressing roller assemblies are arranged along the length direction of the machine base, and the distance between the upper and lower pressing roller assemblies gradually decreases from the inlet end to the outlet end of the tube passage along the length direction of the machine base.

[0017] In the present technical solution, the steel pipe can be straightened gradually in this way, and the pressure applied by a single set of roller assemblies will not be too large, and the steel pipe will not be deformed too much.

[0018] Furthermore, the driving assembly includes:

[0019] A first transmission tooth, wherein the rotating shaft of each pressure roller assembly is connected with a first transmission tooth, and the first transmission teeth of the upper and lower pressure roller assemblies are meshed with each other;

[0020] An intermediate transmission tooth is provided between two adjacent pressure roller assemblies along the length direction of the machine base, and the intermediate transmission tooth is respectively meshed with the first transmission teeth on both sides;

[0021] A power source is connected to one of the intermediate transmission teeth and can drive the intermediate transmission tooth to rotate circumferentially.

[0022] In the technical solution, when the power source drives one of the intermediate transmission teeth to rotate circumferentially, the intermediate transmission tooth will drive all the first transmission teeth to rotate.

[0023] Furthermore, the power source includes a motor and a reducer, the output end of the motor is connected to the input end of the reducer through a belt drive, and the output end of the reducer is connected to one of the intermediate transmission teeth.

[0024] Furthermore, each upper pressing roller assembly is also provided with a position adjustment structure, and the position adjustment structure is used to adjust the distance between the upper and lower pressing roller assemblies.

[0025] Furthermore, the position adjustment structure includes:

[0026] A card plate, wherein the card plate is arranged on the machine base;

[0027] A bolt, wherein the bolt passes through the clamping plate and one end of the bolt is fixedly connected to the pressure roller assembly located above;

[0028] Nuts, at least two of which are provided, the nuts are threadedly connected to the bolts, and nuts are respectively provided on the upper and lower sides of the clamping plate, and the two nuts clamp the clamping plate.

[0029] In the present technical solution, when it is necessary to adjust the distance between the upper and lower pressure roller assemblies, it is only necessary to adjust the vertical position of the upper pressure roller assembly, rotate the nuts on both sides of the card plate to make the two nuts move away from the card plate, and if it is necessary to raise the position of the upper pressure roller assembly, move the bolt upward to move the pressure roller assembly upward to a suitable position, and then rotate the two nuts to clamp the card plate; if it is necessary to lower the position of the upper pressure roller assembly, move the bolt downward to move the pressure roller assembly downward to a suitable position, and then rotate the two nuts to clamp the card plate.

[0030] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0031] 1. The supporting structure in the pipe passage prevents the steel pipe from being compressed and deformed inward, thus ensuring the quality of the steel pipe.

[0032] 2. The edges of the four sides of the solid rod are evenly connected through arc transition to facilitate the sliding of the steel pipe outside the solid rod. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
