[0003] Among the currently known automobile exhaust pipe expansion devices, most of them are only used to expand pipes of a single diameter. When the diameter of the expansion task is increased or decreased, the workers often need to perform a series of complex disassembly or even replace the expansion device. Therefore, there is still a need for an expansion device for processing automobile exhaust pipes of different diameters. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model belongs to the technical field of pipe expansion devices and can expand automobile exhaust pipes with different calibers.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the utility model is as follows:

[0006] A pipe expansion device for automobile exhaust pipe processing includes a rectangular receiving plate, the upper end of the receiving plate is vertically fixedly connected to a mounting plate, the upper center of the mounting plate is movably connected to an expansion cone device, a motor is horizontally placed on the receiving plate, the output end of the motor passes through the mounting plate, the output end of the motor is rotatably connected to the input end of the expansion cone device via a pulley, a foot bracket is provided on the receiving plate, two sliding rods are installed at the center of the upper end of the foot bracket, a travel motor is sleeved on the slide rod, and a clamping device is installed on one side of the travel motor.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment, the expansion cone device is divided into several cones and the cones gradually shrink. The expansion cone device near the mounting plate side includes a first cone. One end of the first cone away from the mounting plate is fixedly connected to a first cylinder. The other end of the first cylinder is fixedly connected to a second cone. The other end of the second cone is fixedly connected to a second cylinder. The other end of the second cylinder is connected to a third cone.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the radius of the output end of the motor is smaller than the radius of the input end of the expansion cone device, and the output end of the motor rotates synchronously with the input end of the expansion cone through a control pulley.

[0021] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific implementation methods of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0022] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention, but the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art may make similar generalizations without violating the connotation of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, a pipe expanding device for automobile exhaust pipe processing includes a rectangular receiving plate 1, the upper end of the receiving plate 1 is vertically fixedly connected to a mounting plate 2, the upper center of the mounting plate 2 is movably connected to an expansion cone device 3, a motor 6 is horizontally placed on the receiving plate 1, the output end of the motor 6 passes through the mounting plate 2, the output end of the motor 6 is rotatably connected to the input end of the expansion cone device 3 through a pulley 5, a foot bracket 4 is provided on the receiving plate 1, two slide bars 401 are installed at the center of the upper end of the foot bracket 4, a travel motor 402 is sleeved on the slide bar 401, and a clamping device 7 is installed on one side of the travel motor 402.

[0024] Specifically, first, the empty pipe is clamped by the clamping device 7. Among them, when clamping an empty pipe with a larger diameter, the length of the telescopic rod 12 can be adjusted by the electric telescopic device 13, making the telescopic rod 12 hinged on the connecting part 10 shorter. By shortening the distance between the triangular block and the electric telescopic rod 12, the movable clamp 701 hinged on the rotating shaft 801 rotates outward, causing the movable clamp 701 to open, so as to be able to clamp an empty pipe with a larger diameter; when clamping an empty pipe with a smaller diameter, the opposite is true; after the clamping device 7 clamps, the traveling motor 402 drives the clamped empty pipe to slowly move towards the expansion cone device 3. The output end 601 of the motor drives the pulley 5 to drive the input end of the expansion cone device 3, causing the expansion cone device 3 to rotate until the empty pipe is expanded to the ideal diameter, and then the traveling motor 402 stops. The traveling motor 402 has been very widely used in the current technical application field and belongs to the existing mature technology, so its working principle will not be elaborated here.

[0025] As Figure 2 shown, a connecting shaft 306 is provided on one side of the expansion cone device 3. The connecting shaft 306 passes through the mounting plate 2 rotatably through a bearing. Pulley 5 is provided on both the motor output end 601 and the connecting shaft 306. The two pulleys 5 are connected by a conveyor belt, and the radius of the pulley 5 on the connecting shaft 306 is greater than the radius of the pulley 5 on the motor output end 601.

[0026] Specifically, the output power of the motor 6 should be large enough, but the rotation speed of the rotating shaft 801 of the motor 6 should be as small as possible, so that the output shaft can obtain a large enough rotational force, which is transmitted to the input end of the expansion cone device 3 through the pulley 5, enabling the expansion cone device 3 itself to also obtain a large enough rotational force, and the extrusion force for expanding the pipeline is stronger, achieving an ideal pipe expansion effect.

[0027] As Figure 2 shown, the expansion cone device 3 is divided into several cones and the cones gradually shrink. The expansion cone device 3 close to the mounting plate 2 includes a first cone 301. The first cone 301 is fixedly connected to a first cylinder 302 at the end far from the mounting plate 2. The other end of the first cylinder 302 is fixedly connected to a second cone 303. The other end of the second cone 303 is fixedly connected to a second cylinder 304. The other end of the second cylinder 304 is connected to a third cone 305.

[0028] Specifically, the expansion cone device 3 may not only have three cones, but also be a combination of more than three cones with different radii. The more the number of cones, the more different diameters the expansion cone device 3 can expand, making the function of the expansion cone device 3 more powerful. However, it should be noted that a cylinder needs to be reserved between each cone to play a buffering role.

[0029] As shown Figure 3 in FIG. 2, the clamping device 7 includes a main shaft 14 mounted on the traveling motor 402. Electric telescopic devices 13 are fixedly connected to the upper and lower ends of the main shaft 14. The electric telescopic devices 13 are provided with telescopic rods 12 at the ends far from the main shaft 14. The other ends of the telescopic rods 12 are fixedly connected to a connecting member 11. The connecting member 11 is hinged inside the connecting portion 10. The connecting portion 10 is fixedly connected to a short shaft 15 at the end far from the main shaft 14. The short shaft 15 is fixedly connected to the convex block 9.

[0030] Specifically, the clamping device 7 is composed of a movable clamp 701 and several hinge rods. Among them, the electric telescopic device 13 can be regarded as a hinge rod, the main shaft 14 and the clamping plate 8 can be regarded as a hinge rod, and a part of the convex block 9 and the movable clamp 701 can also be regarded as a hinge rod. Therefore, the three hinge rods are connected to form a stable triangular structure. Among them, the electric telescopic device 13 is a hinge rod with a variable length. A triangle with a variable side length makes the angle of the movable clamp 701 become an adjustable clamping plate 8, which can clamp empty pipes with different diameters for pipe expansion.

[0031] As shown Figure 3 in FIG. 3, the clamping device 7 includes a movable clamp 701. The two movable clamps 701 are hinged to the clamping plate 8 through a rotating shaft 801. A convex block 9 is fixedly connected to the side surface of the movable clamp 701.

[0032] Specifically, the convex block 9 is fixedly connected to the movable clamp 701. Therefore, the convex block 9 and the movable clamp 701 can be regarded as a whole. Among them, the convex block 9 is not necessarily triangular, and can also be a circular or square columnar shape, or a strip shape connected to the movable clamp 701. Further, in order to prevent the workpiece from shifting during the reaming process, a resistance increasing pad is also provided inside the movable clamp 701 to prevent the workpiece from slipping due to unstable clamping.

[0033] As shown Figure 4 in FIG. 4, the connecting portion 10 is semi-enclosed and the connecting portion 10 is flat as a whole.

[0034] Specifically, both the connecting portion 10 and the connecting member 11 are flat, and the connecting portion 10 should enclose the connecting member 11 to obtain a better hinge effect, so that when the electric telescopic device 13 controls the telescopic rod 12 to work, the movable clamp 701 can rotate better.

[0035] The working principle of the present utility model is as follows: First, the empty tube is clamped by the clamping device 7. Among them, when clamping an empty tube with a larger diameter, the length of the telescopic rod 12 can be adjusted by the electric telescopic device 13, so that the telescopic rod 12 hinged on the connecting portion 10 is shorter. By shortening the distance between the triangular block and the electric telescopic rod 12, the movable clamp 701 hinged on the rotating shaft 801 is driven to rotate outwards, so that the movable clamp 701 opens, facilitating the clamping of an empty tube with a larger diameter; when clamping an empty tube with a smaller diameter, the opposite is true; after the clamping device 7 clamps, the traveling motor 402 drives the clamped empty tube to slowly move towards the expansion cone device 3. The output end 601 of the motor drives the pulley 5 to drive the input end of the expansion cone device 3, so that the expansion cone device 3 rotates until the empty tube is expanded to the ideal diameter, and then the traveling motor 402 stops.

[0036] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art in this technical field, without departing from the principle of the present invention, several improvements and refinements can be made, and these improvements and refinements should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention. The structures, devices, and operation methods not specifically described and explained in the present invention, unless otherwise specifically stated and limited, are implemented according to the conventional means in this field.
