Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of bent pipes, and specifically to an auxiliary device for a pipe bender. Background Art

[0002] There are various types of pipe benders. Pipe benders that complete pipe cutting through hydraulic pressure or electricity generally belong to semi-automatic or automatic pipe benders, and pipe benders that complete pipe cutting manually are generally called manual pipe benders. Manual pipe benders have the characteristics of being easy to carry, low in price, and simple in structure. Classified according to the pipe bending ability and bending range of manual pipes, they include ordinary pipe benders and micro pipe benders. A micro pipe bender is a device used to bend very small-sized pipes, such as copper micro pipes, aluminum micro pipes, etc. The sizes of such pipes are very small, and using a micro pipe bender can complete the bending of pipes very conveniently and quickly.

[0003] Existing micro pipe benders generally consist of a pressing handle, a bending die, and a guiding disc. The pipe is placed between the bending die and the guiding groove of the guiding disc. By pressing the pressing handle, the bending die is driven to rotate or press down to complete the bending of the pipe. However, when bending the pipe, it is necessary to ensure that the unbent part of the pipe is in a horizontal state, that is, it is perpendicular to the radial direction of the guiding groove. This is to prevent the part of the pipe that needs to be pressed down by the bending die from not contacting the bending die due to the inclination of the pipe, resulting in the failure of pipe bending. In the prior art, the way to solve the above problem is to hold the pipe by hand to prevent it from rotating. However, holding the pipe by hand to prevent it from rotating is not stable enough. Moreover, when using a micro pipe bender, in most cases, it is also necessary to hold the handle firmly with one hand and use the other hand to press down the pressing handle. At this time, the pipe cannot be held by hand. To solve the above problems, an auxiliary device for a pipe bender is proposed. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an auxiliary device for a pipe bender to solve the problems raised in the above background art.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions:

A pressing handle is rotatably connected to the rotating disc. A bending die matching the guiding disc is arranged on the lower end surface of the pressing handle. A positioning and clamping mechanism is also arranged on the handle. The positioning and clamping mechanism includes a first driving member, a second driving member arranged on the first driving member, and a clamping member arranged on the second driving member. The first driving member is used to drive the second driving member to move in the horizontal direction, and the second driving member is used to drive the positioning and clamping mechanism to move in the vertical direction;

[0007] The clamping member includes a mounting disk and a fixture disposed on the mounting disk. The fixture is provided with a clamping hole opposite to the guiding disk. The fixture is used for clamping a pipe to ensure that the pipe maintains a horizontal state on the guiding disk during bending.

[0008] Further, the first driving member includes a base, a first lead screw mounted on the base, a first knob connected to one end of the first lead screw, and a first moving seat threadedly connected to the first lead screw. The first lead screw is used for driving the first moving seat to move along the length direction of the first lead screw.

[0009] Further, the second driving member includes a mounting frame. The mounting frame is disposed on the upper end surface of the first moving seat and moves along with the movement of the first moving seat.

[0010] Further, the second driving member further includes a second lead screw disposed on the mounting frame. A second moving seat is threadedly connected to the second lead screw, and a connecting seat is detachably connected to the second moving seat.

[0011] Further, the clamping member further includes an extension plate. The extension plate is disposed on the connecting seat and is used for connecting the mounting disk and the second moving seat, and for ensuring that the fixture extends beyond the mounting frame in the vertical direction.

[0012] Further, a plurality of guiding grooves are disposed on the guiding disk. The clamping hole is used for clamping a pipe and for maintaining the pipe on one side of the guiding groove in a horizontal state.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows: The provided positioning and clamping mechanism can clamp the pipe more stably during the bending of the pipe bender, so as to ensure that the part that does not need to be pressed is in a horizontal state during the bending process, and can also clamp pipes of various sizes.

The first driving member is used to drive the second driving member to move in the horizontal direction, and the second driving member is used to drive the positioning and clamping mechanism 7 to move in the vertical direction;

[0022] The clamping member includes a mounting plate 710 and a clamp arranged on the mounting plate 710. A clamping hole opposite to the guide disk 6 is arranged on the clamp. The clamp is used to clamp the pipe to ensure that the pipe maintains a horizontal state on the guide disk 6 during bending.

[0023] In this embodiment, the winding disk 3 is arranged on the handle 1 by means of screw connection. A rotating shaft 4 is arranged on the winding disk 3, and the pressing handle 2 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 4. The bending die 5 is installed below the pressing handle 2 by means of screw connection. The guiding disk 6, which is also arranged on the winding disk 3, is located below the bending die 5, and the two are arranged oppositely. When bending a pipe, the pipe is placed between the guiding disk 6 and the bending die 5. By pressing down the pressing handle 2, the pressing handle 2 rotates, applying a radial pressure to the pipe, thereby completing the bending of the pipe.

[0024] Further, the first driving member includes a base 712, a first lead screw 71 mounted on the base 712, a first knob 72 connected to one end of the first lead screw 71, and a first moving seat 73 threadedly connected to the first lead screw 71. The first lead screw 71 is used to drive the first moving seat 73 to move along the length direction of the first lead screw 71.

[0025] In this embodiment, the base 712 is integrally formed on the end face of the handle 1, on one side of the guiding disk 6. A placement groove is formed on the base 712, and the first lead screw 71 is mounted in the placement groove. A through hole for the first lead screw 71 to pass through is also formed on the base 712. The first lead screw 71 passes through the through hole and is connected to the first knob 72. A bearing is arranged at the through hole, and the first lead screw 71 is key-connected to the bearing. One end of the first lead screw 71 away from the first knob 72 is rotatably connected to the base 712 through a bearing.

[0026] Further, the second driving member includes a mounting bracket 74. The mounting bracket 74 is arranged on the upper end face of the first moving seat 73, and the mounting bracket 74 moves along with the movement of the first moving seat 73.

[0027] Further, the second driving member further includes a second lead screw 75 arranged on the mounting bracket 74. A second moving seat 77 is threadedly connected to the second lead screw 75, and a connecting seat 78 is detachably connected to the second moving seat 77.

[0028] In this embodiment, a second knob 76 is connected to one end of the second lead screw 75. An empty groove is formed on the mounting bracket 74, and the second knob 76 is located in the empty groove, facilitating the rotation of the second knob 76. In addition, the second driving member is similar to the first driving member, and both drive the movement of the nut seat through the rotation of the lead screw, which will not be elaborated here.

[0029] Further, the clamping member further includes an extension plate 79. The extension plate 79 is arranged on the connecting seat 78. The extension plate 79 is used to connect the mounting disk 710 and the second moving seat 77, and is used to ensure that the fixture extends beyond the mounting bracket 74 in the vertical direction.

[0030] Further, a plurality of guiding grooves are arranged on the guiding disk 6. The clamping holes are used to clamp the pipe and to keep the pipe located on one side of the guiding grooves in a horizontal state.

[0031] In this embodiment, an exemplary fixture is proposed, which is an iris mechanism and includes an iris disk 711, a plurality of arc-shaped blades 713, a cam, and a turning handle 714. When the turning handle 714 rotates, it will drive the cam to rotate, thereby driving the plurality of arc-shaped blades 713 to rotate. When the plurality of arc-shaped blades 713 are opened, a through hole is formed in the middle part of each arc-shaped blade 713, which is the clamping hole. As the arc-shaped blades 713 rotate, the size of the clamping hole continuously changes. According to the sizes of a plurality of guide grooves, among a large number of sizes of clamping holes, a clamping hole with the same size as the guide groove is selected. A positioning plate 715 is arranged on the mounting plate 710, and a first positioning hole is arranged on the positioning plate 715. A second positioning hole opposite to the first positioning hole is opened on the turning handle 714. According to the number of sizes of the selected clamping holes, the same number of positioning plates 715 are arranged. The positioning plate 715 at a certain position is opposite to a clamping hole of a certain size. When clamping a pipe with a clamping hole of a certain size, the turning handle 714 is rotated to the corresponding positioning plate 715, and a bolt is screwed into the first fixing hole and the second fixing hole so that the turning handle 714 cannot rotate. Before bending the pipe, the pipe is passed through the clamping hole and placed on the guide groove, and the turning handle 714 is rotated until the pipe is clamped. The turning handle 714 and the corresponding positioning plate 715 at this time are fixedly connected by bolts. At this time, when the pipe is bent, the pipe will not tilt.
