[0002] An aluminum pipe is a kind of non-ferrous metal pipe, which refers to a metal tubular material with a hollow longitudinal length made of pure aluminum or aluminum alloy by extrusion processing. In the use of steel pipes, its caliber needs to be reprocessed according to the actual use environment and requirements. That is to say, the caliber of the pipe orifice needs to be enlarged to a suitable size with a flaring machine according to the actual working environment. In fact, it is to forcibly enlarge the caliber of the aluminum pipe by extruding with a conical end. Traditional flaring machines are difficult to adjust the processing caliber because the end of the existing flaring machine is a conical metal block with fixed size and cannot change its size according to the actual use requirements. Therefore, it is difficult to flexibly adjust the size of the aluminum pipe processing caliber, which has a certain impact on the flaring work of aluminum pipes. And if a lot of ends are prepared, it will increase the cost investment, and continuous disassembly and replacement are also very cumbersome.

Embodiment

[0026] An aluminum pipe flaring machine with adjustable caliber includes a base 1. One side of the base 1 is fixedly installed with a stepper motor 2. The output shaft of the stepper motor 2 penetrates to the inside of the base 1 and is fixedly installed with a turntable 3. One side of the turntable 3 is fixedly installed with a rotating rod 4. The surface of the rotating rod 4 is threadedly installed with an adjusting block 5. One side of the adjusting block 5 is provided with a positioning bolt 6 penetrating through it. One end of the positioning bolt 6 penetrates into the inside of the rotating rod 4. The end of the rotating rod 4 away from the turntable 3 is fixedly installed with an end block 7. The top and bottom of one side of the end block 7 are fixedly connected with limiting guide rails 8 respectively. The surface of the limiting guide rails 8 is slidably installed with adapter blocks 9. Both adapter blocks 9 are adapted to the rotating rod 4 and the adjusting block 5. One side of the adapter block 9 is provided with a limiting chute 11 adapted to the limiting guide rail 8. Two springs 10 are fixedly connected between the two adapter blocks 9.

[0027] The specific usage process is as follows: First, loosen and remove the fastening bolt 19. Then, open the two baffles 18 outward. Next, place the aluminum tube on the placement rack 17. Then, close the two baffles 18. After that, use the fastening bolt 19 to fix the two baffles 18 together. At this time, the two pressing plates 20 will also press on the aluminum tube, and at the same time, the two baffles 18 will also abut against the ends of the aluminum tube to restrict the random movement of the aluminum tube during processing. Among them, the two pressing plates 20 move along with the baffle 18. Therefore, after the baffle 18 is closed, the two pressing plates 20 can also be combined and pressed on the aluminum tube. Then, fix the two baffles 18 with the fastening bolt 19, and they can also be flexibly separated along with the two baffles 18, providing convenience for the user's work. When processing the aluminum tube, place the aluminum tube on the placement rack 17. The placement rack 17 is an inwardly concave arc shape, which can play a role in limiting the aluminum tube and preventing the aluminum tube from moving randomly. Then, after the two baffles 18 are combined, the two pressing plates 20 cooperate with the placement rack 17 to press and fix the aluminum tube, thereby ensuring the stability of the aluminum tube flaring work and improving the accuracy of the aluminum tube flaring work. Then, the user can push the workbench 15 close to the end block 7. Then, with the cooperation of the end block 7 and the two adapter blocks 9, the end block 7 and the adapter block 9 will extend into the aluminum tube to realize the flaring processing of the aluminum tube. It should be noted that the shapes of the end block 7 and the adapter block 9 can be adjusted according to the actual processing requirements to meet the actual processing needs. During work, start the stepper motor 2. The stepper motor 2 will drive the turntable 3 to rotate. The turntable 3 will drive the rotating rod 4 to rotate. The rotating rod 4 will drive the end block 7 to rotate. At the same time, the adjusting block 5, the positioning bolt 6, and the adapter block 9 indirectly or directly installed on the rotating rod 4 and the end block 7 will also rotate accordingly. And as the workbench 15 approaches, the end block 7 and the adapter block 9 will expand the diameter of the aluminum tube. When the flaring diameter needs to be adjusted, before moving the workbench 15 for processing, first loosen and remove the positioning bolt 6. Then, rotate the adjusting block 5. At this time, the adjusting block 5 will move towards the adapter block 9. Then, the adjusting block 5 enters the inner sides of the two adapter blocks 9, thereby pushing the two adapter blocks 9 outward. At the same time, the adapter block 9 will slide on the corresponding limit guide rail 8. In this way, the limit guide rail 8 can play a role in limiting and guiding the adjustment and sliding of the adapter block 9, providing convenience for the user's work. When the two adapter blocks 9 move, they will also stretch the spring 10, and the spring 10 will tighten the adapter block 9 against the surface of the adjusting block 5. In this way, after the adjusting block 5 is adjusted and removed from the adapter block 9, the two adapter blocks 9 can reset and merge onto the rotating rod 4 again for the next use. After the adjustment is completed, insert the positioning bolt 6 back into the adjusting block 5 to fix it in the current position. Among them, the bolt hole 13 and the bolt hole 14 are both adapted to the positioning bolt 6. After the adjustment work is completed, insert the positioning bolt 6 into the corresponding bolt hole 14 and tighten the positioning bolt 6 until the end of the positioning bolt 6 inserts into the bolt hole 13 at the corresponding position.
