The present application can bend multiple heat exchange steel pipes at the same time.

[0028] Furthermore, a middle shaping rod 4 is provided between the inner rod frame 2 and the sleeve frame 3, and an arc surface 41 is provided on the front side of the middle shaping rod 4, and the arc surface 41 matches the arc angle of the inner side of the heat exchange steel pipe after bending. In order to fix the middle shaping rod 4, a cross bar 42 is fixedly provided between the mounting seats 12, and a plurality of connecting rods 43 fixed to the cross bar 42 are provided on the middle shaping rod 4.

[0029] When the utility model is bending the heat exchange steel tube 8, the initial state of the utility model is as follows Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the utility model can be placed behind the pipe conveying equipment, and the heat exchange steel pipe is pushed into the positioning sleeve 31 through the pipe conveying equipment. Otherwise, the heat exchange steel pipe can be manually put in by a worker.
