[0002] In the field of metal or tube forming, there are many situations that require low friction and high forming precision, especially tube forming. At present, tube forming often adopts the form of drawing forming: the tube blank is passed through the die hole on the mold, so that the die hole squeezes the tube blank and changes the diameter of the tube, and then the tube is pulled by traction force to change the wall thickness of the tube, so as to complete the processing of the tube. Although this tube forming method can achieve the desired effect, when the tube passes through the die hole, there will be mutual friction between the tube and the die hole. When the die hole is used for a long time, its precision will decrease, which will affect the forming precision of the tube, and it may also rotate during the drawing process, causing the tube to twist; based on this, the present application proposes a passive rolling tube forming device.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0018] The utility model provides a passive rolling type pipe forming device, comprising a fixing plate 1, a through hole 13 adapted to the pipe is provided in the middle of the fixing plate 1, an upper left roller group 2, a lower left roller group 7, an upper right roller group 5 and a lower right roller group 6 are respectively provided around the through hole 13, the upper left roller group 2, the lower left roller group 7, the upper right roller group 5 and the lower right roller group 6 have the same structure, the upper left roller group 2, the lower left roller group 7, the upper right roller group 5 and the lower right roller group 6 can be fixed on the fixing plate 1 by hexagonal screws, so as to form a passive rolling type pipe forming device.

[0019] The upper left roller group 2 includes a fixed seat 12 fixedly connected to the fixed plate 1, and the fixed seat 12 is movably connected to the roller 11 through the fixed shaft 3. An extrusion cavity adapted to the tube is formed between the four rollers 11, and the central axis of the extrusion cavity is on the same straight line as the central axis of the through hole 13. Through the arrangement of the through hole 13 and the extrusion cavity, when the device is in use, during the drawing process of the tube, the four roller groups can passively roll the tube so that the tube can be roll-formed, and the inner wall of the through hole 13 is evenly and movably connected with balls, and the through hole 13 contacts the roll-formed tube through the balls. Through the arrangement of the balls, the friction between the through hole 13 and the tube is reduced, the wear of the tube is reduced, and the balls can shape the tube to improve the forming accuracy of the tube.

[0020] One end of the fixed shaft 3 is fixedly connected to the fixed seat 12 by a first fixing screw 4 , and the other end of the fixed shaft 3 is sleeved with two bearings 10 , which are in a stacked state and fixed together with the fixed shaft 3 by a second fixing screw 8 .

[0021] The outer part of the bearing 10 is sleeved with a roller 11, and the roller 11 and the bearing 10 are fixed with a retaining ring 9 through a hole. After the retaining ring 9 is clamped in the hole, the bearing 10 cannot move in the axial direction. If there is movement, a gasket must be added to eliminate the movement gap to ensure the stability of the position of the roller 11. Under the action of external force, the roller 11 can move axially along the fixed axis 3.

[0022] An extrusion groove 14 is provided in the middle of the roller 11. The cross section of the extrusion groove 14 is arc-shaped. The inner diameter of the cross section of the extrusion groove 14 is the same as the outer diameter of the tube. The angle between two adjacent rollers 11 is 90 degrees.

[0024] The passive rolling tube forming device is used in the field of stainless steel tube welding and drawing of copper or aluminum tubes with linings. The former can prevent twisting during thin tube forming; the latter can reduce the friction of copper and aluminum tubes to achieve the purpose of close combination of copper and aluminum tubes and linings.

[0025] To sum up, when the passive rolling tube forming device is in use, the tube blank passes through the four rollers 11. During the movement of the tube blank, the rollers 11 roll the tube blank so that the blank can be rolled and formed, and twisting of the tube blank is avoided. The formed tube passes through the through hole 13, and the balls arranged in the through hole 13 further shape the tube, thereby improving the tube forming accuracy.
