Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a sealing mechanism for a tubular product, belonging to the technical field of pipe fitting molding. Background Art
[0002] The stamping and forming of metal tube parts requires sealing the gas or liquid at the two ends of the tube, otherwise it is impossible to provide sufficient high pressure inside the tube and thus fail to form qualified parts. The traditional sealing method relies on the pressure of the press and can only be sealed by the upper and lower calipers. Usually, the sealing of metal tubular parts is to clamp the tube mouth by the upper and lower calipers, and then the cone block is driven by the oil cylinder to block the tube mouth for sealing and finally stamping. The driving force of the caliper comes from the press pressure and can only move up and down. This limits the shape of the metal tube blank to be straight, otherwise it cannot be sealed. This results in the inability to develop more complex, more functional and more types of parts, and even if they are designed, they cannot be produced and processed. Most parts cannot be designed to be straight to achieve more functions, especially the tube mouth angles on both sides of the parts are multi-angle, and it is impossible to achieve the sealing positioning of the processed pipe parts through the existing press calipers. Summary of the invention
[0003] The utility model aims at the deficiencies in the prior art and provides a sealing mechanism for tubular products which has a simple structure, is easy to operate and can be used for sealing the pipe openings of more types of pipe fittings.
[0004] The utility model solves the above-mentioned technical problem with the following technical solution: a sealing mechanism for a tubular product, comprising a frame, a first caliper, a second caliper and a plug, wherein the first caliper is arranged on the frame through a first driving mechanism, and the second caliper is arranged on the frame through a second driving mechanism, the first caliper and the second caliper are engaged or separated under the corresponding first driving mechanism and second driving mechanism, the first caliper and the second caliper are engaged to form a through hole matched with the outer diameter of the tubular product, the plug is matched with the inner diameter of the tubular product, and the plug is arranged on the frame through a third driving mechanism.
[0005] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: the pipe to be sealed is placed in the sealing position, the caliper clamps the pipe under the action of the corresponding driving mechanism, and then the plug extends to and is inserted into the pipe mouth of the pipe under the action of the driving mechanism, so that the pipe mouth can be sealed without relying on the pressure of the press and the effect of universal sealing can be achieved. Whether the pipe part is horizontal, inclined or curved, the pipe mouth can be sealed, it is not limited by the press and the sealing effect is good. In short, the utility model has a simple structure, is easy to operate, is not limited by the press and has a good sealing effect, and can be used to produce more tubular parts with different shapes or functions.
[0006] On the basis of the above technical solution, the present invention can also be improved as follows.
[0007] Furthermore, it also includes a clamping block for limiting the first caliper and the second caliper after clamping, and the clamping block includes a first clamping part acting on the outer side surface of the first caliper after clamping and a second clamping part acting on the outer side surface of the second caliper after clamping, and the first clamping part and the second clamping part are actuated by the clamping block driving cylinder or the first clamping part and the second clamping part are respectively connected to the third driving mechanism.

When the plug is inserted, force is applied to the pipe mouth of the tubular product. In order to further ensure the stability of the cooperation between the caliper and the tubular product, a clamping block is added. The clamping block can be pressed against the outer surface of the caliper under the action of the clamping block driving cylinder or the third driving mechanism, thereby limiting the stability of the caliper after clamping, thereby ensuring the sealing stability of the tubular product.
[0009] Furthermore, the first clamping portion and / or the second clamping portion are respectively provided with a notch that is engaged with the driving shaft of the first caliper or the second caliper.

No matter which one, the driving shaft is mostly connected to the middle position of the caliper.

The clamping block is an integrated structure and has an overall U-shaped structure. The connecting portion is connected to the driving end of the third driving mechanism.

Independent drive will make the structure of the entire sealing mechanism complicated, the connection between the components is cumbersome, the control is complicated, the weight and volume are increased, and the cost of the sealing mechanism will be increased. The first and second clamping parts adopt an integrated structure, which is not only simple in structure, easy to install, easy to maintain, and low in cost, but also simple and convenient to control. It is connected to the third drive mechanism to limit the caliper when the plug is actuated, which simplifies the control and also meets the requirement of stable positioning of the caliper when the plug is actuated.

[0015] Furthermore, the first caliper is provided with a guide groove, and the second caliper is provided with a guide rod matched with the guide groove.
[0016] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further solution is that a guide rod extends from the clamping surface side of the second caliper, and a guide groove cooperating with the guide rod is provided on the first caliper, and the clamping accuracy and stability of the caliper are further guaranteed by the cooperation between the guide groove and the guide rod.
[0017] Furthermore, a positioning boss is provided on the clamping surface of the second caliper, and a guiding inclined surface is provided on the positioning boss.
[0018] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further scheme is that the positioning boss can accurately position the caliper matching process, and the guiding slope can guide the caliper docking or clamping process, which not only improves the docking accuracy, but also avoids collision between the first and second calipers.
[0019] Furthermore, the plug adopts a conical structure.
[0020] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further solution is that tubular products of various specifications can be used, and the sealing effect is better when inserted and matched with the tubular products, thereby ensuring the processing quality of the tubular products.
[0021] Furthermore, the first driving mechanism includes a first caliper hydraulic cylinder, the cylinder body of the first caliper hydraulic cylinder is arranged on the frame, and the piston rod of the first caliper hydraulic cylinder is connected to the first caliper; the second driving mechanism includes a second caliper hydraulic cylinder, the cylinder body of the second caliper hydraulic cylinder is arranged on the frame, and the piston rod of the second caliper hydraulic cylinder is connected to the second caliper.
[0022] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further solution is that the calipers are respectively moved under the action of the corresponding hydraulic cylinders, which is not only convenient to drive but also stable, safe and reliable.
[0023] Furthermore, the third driving mechanism comprises a third driving hydraulic cylinder, a cylinder body of the third driving hydraulic cylinder is arranged on the frame, and a piston rod of the third driving hydraulic cylinder is connected to the clamping block or the plug and the clamping block.
