All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0029] Embodiment 1
[0030] To solve the problem of inaccurate data for detecting the bendability of a water pipe, please refer to Figures 1-6, a washing machine water inlet pipe detection device provided in this embodiment fixes the water inlet pipe through the clamping assembly 3, and the bending assembly 2 drives the clamping assembly 3 to perform a bending test on the water inlet pipe, thereby improving the detection efficiency and the accuracy of the bending property of the water inlet pipe. The device includes a housing 1, which is used to carry and protect the clamping assembly 3 and the bending assembly 2, and reduce damage caused by the external environment. One end of the housing 1 is provided with a semicircular rotating groove 10, and the rotating groove 10 provides a rotation path for the first rotating rod 233. The housing 1 is provided with two sets of clamping assemblies 3 for clamping the same water inlet pipe and a bending assembly 2 for bending the water inlet pipe. The clamping assembly 3 clamps and fixes the water inlet pipe, and the bending assembly 2 drives the clamping assembly 3 to drive the water inlet pipe to perform a reciprocating bending motion, so as to realize the detection of the bending of the water inlet pipe.
[0031] The bending assembly 2 includes a driving assembly 21, a connecting assembly 22 and a rotating assembly 23. With the cooperation of the connecting assembly 22 and the rotating assembly 23, the driving assembly 21 drives two sets of clamping assemblies 3 to rotate in opposite directions. The driving assembly 21 includes a motor 211 installed at one end of the housing 1. The motor 211 serves as the power source for driving the water inlet pipe to bend by the clamping assembly 3. A rotating disk 212 that rotates inside the housing 1 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 211. A rotating shaft 213 disposed inside a rotating groove 222 is fixedly connected to the rotating disk 212. The connecting assembly 22 includes a rotating rod 221 disposed on the driving assembly 21. A rotating groove 222 is provided on the rotating rod 221. A support shaft 223 fixed inside the housing 1 is rotatably installed on the rotating rod 221. The lower end of the rotating rod 221 is fan-shaped and evenly distributed with a plurality of tooth blocks 224. Due to the fan-shaped lower end of the rotating rod 221, it reciprocates on the double-sided rack 225 driven by the motor 211. A double-sided rack 225 that slides inside the housing 1 is meshed and connected to the tooth blocks 224. The double-sided rack 225 is used to drive the two sets of rotating assemblies 23 to rotate. There are two sets of rotating assemblies 23, which are respectively located at the upper and lower ends of the double-sided rack 225. The rotating assembly 23 includes a gear 231 meshed and connected to the double-sided rack 225. A rotating shaft 232 is sleeved on the gear 231. The rotating shaft 232 is used to connect the gear 231 and the first rotating rod 233. The other end of the rotating shaft 232 is fixedly connected to an L-shaped first rotating rod 233 that rotates inside the rotating groove 10. The first rotating rod 233 is used to connect the clamping assembly 3. When performing a bending test on the water inlet pipe, the water inlet pipe is placed inside the clamping assembly 3, and the water inlet pipe is clamped and fixed by the clamping assembly 3. Subsequently, the power supply is started, and the output shaft of the motor 211 operates and rotates, driving the rotating shaft 213 on the rotating disk 212 to rotate inside the rotating groove 222. The rotating rod 221 drives the double-sided rack 225 to reciprocally slide inside the housing 1 through the limitation of the support shaft 223. It is transmitted to the first rotating rod 233 through the gear 231, so that the first rotating rod 233 drives the clamping assembly 3 to reciprocally rotate at a specified angle, thereby realizing the bending test on the water inlet pipe inside the clamping assembly 3, improving work efficiency and the accuracy of the water inlet pipe test.
[0032] Considering that the water inlet pipe needs to be fixed to prevent it from falling off during the test, refer to Figures 1-6, therefore, the clamping assembly 3 includes a fitting assembly 32 symmetrically arranged for fitting the surface of the water inlet pipe and a dragging assembly 31 for pushing the fitting assembly 32. The dragging assembly 31 is used to adjust the distance between the fitting assemblies 32, and the fitting assembly 32 is used to fit the surface of the water inlet pipe to fix it. The dragging assembly 31 includes a protective shell 311 provided at one end of the housing 1 and fixedly connected to the first rotating rod 233. The protective shell 311 is used to carry the hydraulic rod 312 and the connecting plate 313 and protect them to reduce damage caused by the external environment. A hydraulic rod 312 is fixedly connected inside the protective shell 311. The hydraulic rod 312 serves as a power source for adjusting the distance between the fitting assemblies 32. The movable end of the hydraulic rod 312 is fixedly connected to a connecting plate 313 that is T-shaped and slides inside the protective shell 311. Symmetrically arranged second rotating rods 314 are rotatably connected to the connecting plate 313. The other end of the second rotating rod 314 is rotatably connected to a third rotating rod 315. The other end of the third rotating rod 315 extends out of the protective shell 311 and is fixedly connected to a dragging plate 317. A fixed shaft 316 fixedly connected inside the protective shell 311 is rotatably installed in the middle of the third rotating rod 315. The fixed shaft 316 is used to limit the third rotating rod 315 so that the third rotating rod 315 can only rotate relative to each other on the same horizontal plane. The dragging plate 317 is used to connect the fitting assembly 32. The water inlet pipe is placed between two opposite fitting assemblies 32. Subsequently, the hydraulic rod 312 is activated. Under the push of the movable end of the hydraulic rod 312, the connecting plate 313 slides inside the protective shell 311. When the connecting plate 313 slides, it drives the second rotating rod 314 and the third rotating rod 315 to rotate relative to each other around the fixed shaft 316. The rotation of the third rotating rod 315 drives the fitting assembly 32 on the dragging plate 317 to move relatively, reducing the distance between the two fitting assemblies 32, thereby realizing the clamping and fixing of the water inlet pipe by the fitting assembly 32, so that the water inlet pipe will not fall off during the bending test, and improving the stability of the water inlet pipe test.
[0033] Embodiment 2
[0034] On the basis of Embodiment 1, considering that there are different-shaped patterns on the surface of some water inlet pipes, the water inlet pipe may shake during the bending test of the water inlet pipe, affecting the test stability. Refer to Figures 1-6, therefore, the fitting component 32 includes a clamping plate 321 fixedly connected to the supporting plate 317. The clamping plate 321 is used to hold the spring 323 and the fitting plate 324, and limit the water inlet pipe so that it is between the two clamping plates 321. A plurality of fixing grooves 322 are evenly distributed on the clamping plate 321. A spring 323 is fixedly connected in the fixing groove 322, and the other end of the spring 323 is fixedly connected to a fitting plate 324. The fitting plate 324 is used to fit the surface of the water inlet pipe. Place the water inlet pipe between the two clamping plates 321. Through the supporting component 31, make the two clamping plates 321 move relatively closer to reduce the distance between them, so that the fitting plate 324 fits the surface of the water inlet pipe. Under the further push of the supporting component 31, the fitting plate 324 is elastically acted on by the spring 323 to stably fit the water inlet pipe, so that it will not shake during the bending test. And the fitting plate 324 is made of a soft material, which can reduce the damage to the water inlet pipe and improve the stability and bending test accuracy during the bending test of the water inlet pipe.
[0035] Considering that the required number of bending times for water inlet pipes of different materials is different, refer to Figure 1 , therefore, a control panel 4 is provided at one end of the housing 1. The number of bending movements and speed of the motor 211 are set through the control panel 4, so that the motor 211 can specify to complete the set number of bending times and speed, and the detection progress of the water inlet pipe is displayed in real time through the control panel 4, improving work efficiency.

Therefore, from any point of view, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-restrictive.
