[0019] Examples, such as Figures 1 to 6As shown, a workpiece transmission device for a row-type tube expander includes a frame 1, on which a loading station I, a tube expansion station II, a flaring station III and a unloading station IV are sequentially arranged in a straight line direction. In order to automatically and accurately deliver the workpiece on the loading station I to each subsequent station, a mobile tool 2 that can move back and forth is arranged on the frame 1, and a fixed seat 3 for fixing the workpiece 100 is arranged on the mobile tool 2. The structure of the fixed seat 3 is a prior art and will not be described in detail. In order to ensure that the mobile tool 2 moves in a straight line direction, a second linear rail 15 is arranged on the upper layer of the frame 1, and a second card slot 16 adapted to the second linear rail 15 is arranged on the mobile tool 2. The second card slot 16 cooperates with the second linear rail 15 to ensure that the mobile tool 2 moves back and forth in a straight line direction. For the convenience of subsequent description, the moving direction of the mobile tool at each station is set as the longitudinal direction, and the direction perpendicular to the moving direction is set as the transverse direction.

[0020] The movable fixture 2 is driven by a screw assembly. Specifically, a feed screw 4 is provided on the upper layer of the frame 1. One end of the feed screw 4 is connected to a screw motor 41 for driving the feed screw 4 to rotate. An upper movable seat 5 for moving back and forth is provided on the feed screw 4. The feed screw 4 rotates to drive the upper movable seat 5 to move back and forth. The upper movable seat 5 is arranged side by side with the movable fixture 2. To ensure that the upper movable seat 5 moves in a straight line direction, a first linear rail 13 for controlling the moving direction of the upper movable seat 5 is provided on the frame 1. A first card slot 14 adapted to the first linear rail 13 is provided on the upper movable seat 5. The first card slot 14 cooperates with the first linear rail 13 to ensure that the upper movable seat 5 moves in a straight line direction.

[0021] The upper movable seat 5 is provided with a retractable claw 6, and the mobile tooling 2 is provided with a clamping portion 7 that cooperates with the claw 6. Preferably, the claw 6 is driven to move by a cylinder, that is, a claw driving cylinder 12 is provided on the upper movable seat 5, and the movable end of the claw driving cylinder 12 is fixedly connected to the claw 6. To ensure the moving direction of the claw 6, a third linear rail 17 is provided on the upper movable seat 5, and a fourth clamping groove 62 that matches the third linear rail 17 is provided on the claw 6. The end of the claw 6 is a U-shaped bayonet 61, and the clamping portion 7 is a cylindrical pin that matches the U-shaped bayonet 61. When the upper movable seat 5 needs to move, the claw driving cylinder 12 drives the claw 6 to move in the direction of the mobile tooling 2 (laterally), and the U-shaped bayonet 61 is clamped into the clamping portion 7 to achieve the connection and fixation of the upper movable seat 5 and the mobile tooling 2. The feed screw 4 rotates, driving the upper movable seat 5 to move, thereby driving the mobile tooling 2 to move. In order to improve the efficiency of movement, three upper moving seats 5 are arranged on the frame 1, and the moving seats 5 are connected by connecting rods 18. The positions of the upper moving seats 5 correspond to the three stations. For example, when the first upper moving seat 5 is located at the loading station I, the second upper moving seat 5 is located at the tube expansion station II, and the third upper moving seat 5 is located at the flaring station III. After the tube expansion and flaring are completed, the feed screw 4 rotates, driving the movable tooling 2 to move forward one station, so that the workpiece loaded at the loading station I is transferred to the tube expansion station II for tube expansion, the workpiece originally at the tube expansion station II is transferred to the flaring station III for flaring, and the workpiece originally at the flaring station III is transferred to the unloading station IV, and the flared workpiece is taken away by the equipment.

[0022] In order to enable the mobile tooling 2 to quickly return to the loading station I after unloading, to prepare to receive new workpieces and transfer them to the expansion and flaring stations for expansion and flaring, the loading station I and the unloading station IV are respectively provided with a lifting platform 8 for driving the mobile tooling 2 to rise and fall, and the lower layer of the frame 1 is provided with a return mechanism 10 for sending the mobile tooling 2 from the bottom of the unloading station IV back to the bottom of the loading station I. When the mobile tooling 2 is located at the unloading station IV, after unloading is completed, the lifting platform 8 drives the mobile tooling 2 to move down to the return mechanism 10, and transports it to the bottom of the loading station I through the return mechanism 10, and then the mobile tooling 2 is raised to the loading station I through the lifting platform 8, thereby completing the recycling of the mobile tooling 2.

[0023] In order to ensure the stability and accuracy of the operation of the lifting platform 8, the lifting platform 8 is driven by a screw, that is, a lifting screw 9 is provided on the frame 1, a screw nut (not shown in the figure) matched with the lifting screw 9 is provided on the lifting platform 8, and one end of the lifting screw 9 is connected to a lifting screw drive motor 91 that drives the lifting screw 9 to rotate. At the same time, a fourth linear rail 19 arranged in a vertical direction is provided on both sides of the lifting platform 8 on the frame 1, and a third limit slot (not shown in the figure) matched with the fourth linear rail 19 is provided on the lifting platform 8.

[0024] The material return mechanism 10 includes a lower moving seat 101, on which a claw 6 having the same structure as the upper moving seat 5 is provided. In order to improve the efficiency of the return transmission, a rotating gear 102 and a gear motor assembly 103 for driving the rotating gear 102 to rotate are provided on the lower moving seat 101, and a rack 11 for cooperating with the rotating gear 102 is provided on the frame 1. The gear motor assembly 103 drives the rotating gear 102 to rotate and cooperates with the rack 11, thereby driving the moving tooling 2 to move quickly.

[0025] The above is an exemplary description of the utility model in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the specific implementation of the utility model is not limited to the above-mentioned method. As long as various non-substantial improvements are made using the method concept and technical solution of the utility model; or the above concept and technical solution of the utility model are directly applied to other occasions without improvement, they are all within the protection scope of the utility model.
