[0002] Round steel pipe is a commonly used steel section, usually called round tube, which is widely used in various fields. The most common ones are construction and industrial fields. At the same time, many household products or shelves also use round tubes as the support skeleton of the frame. In actual use, considering the strength or shape matching problems, these steel pipes must be bent.

[0003] Currently, there are two main types of equipment for bending round tubes. One uses a large guide wheel and a planetary pressure wheel to bend the tube. Manually turning the pressure wheel around the large guide wheel to a certain angle squeezes the tube and bends it along the grooves of the large guide wheel, achieving the desired bend. The other uses hydraulic equipment to drive a tube bending die from the center to bend the tube placed between two supporting blocks. In either case, bending different tube sizes requires opening the frame and replacing the large guide wheel, pressure wheel, or tube bending die with the corresponding size before the bending process can begin.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a round tube bending equipment to address the above defects. Utility Model Content

[0024] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

Therefore, they cannot be understood as limitations on the present invention.

[0026] With reference to the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the main structure of the round tube bending equipment of the utility model; Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the left side cross-sectional structure of the circular tube bending equipment of the utility model; Figure 3 for Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the partially enlarged structure of part I in the middle; Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the round tube bending equipment of the utility model in the state of bending a round tube.

[0027] In one embodiment, Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the circular tube bending equipment of the present invention is improved on the basis of the existing hydraulic cylinder die bending forming equipment. The circular tube bending equipment of the present invention includes a frame 1, an action cylinder 2, a clamping head 3, a punch 4 and a supporting turn block 6. The frame 1 is a square frame structure, the action cylinder 2 is installed with its head downward in the middle position of the top beam of the frame 1, and the piston rod end of the action cylinder 2 is installed with the clamping head 3, and the two can be connected by threaded connection or by flange plate docking. The top horizontal guide sliding connection of the punch 4 is connected to the clamping head 3, and a plurality of lower punches 402 are arranged at intervals on the bottom of the punch 4. The bottom surfaces of the plurality of lower punches 402 accommodate arc grooves of different diameter specifications that need to bend the circular tubes. In a specific embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, there are three lower punches 402, corresponding to the three commonly used sizes of 1 / 4, 1 / 6, and 1 / 8" pipes. The lower punches 402 are similar in form to conventional bending dies, also consisting of a circular arc groove, and will not be further described here. Two support blocks 6 are rotatably connected to two opposing columns of the frame 1. The support blocks 6 support the round pipe to be bent, and the required lower punch 402 is located directly above the center of the two support blocks 6.

[0028] By arranging multiple lower punches 402 of different specifications at intervals at the bottom of the punch 4, when changing to a different specification of round tube for bending, it is only necessary to move the lower punch 402 of the corresponding specification to the bottom of the clamping head 3, without the need for disassembly and installation. The frame 1 adopts a square frame structure, and the middle hollow part is the bending part, which can be used to observe the bending angle and facilitate the control of the bending size. The circular tube bending equipment of the utility model can quickly replace lower punches of different sizes to complete the bending operation of circular tubes of different specifications, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0029] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the top surface of the chuck 3 is fixedly connected to the piston rod of the working cylinder 2. The bottom surface of the chuck 3 defines a guide groove 301, with the axis of the guide groove 301 perpendicular to the large side surface of the frame 1. A guide plate 401 is provided on the top of the punch 4. The cross-section of the guide plate 401 conforms to the guide groove 301 and the guide plate 401 is horizontally guided and slidably connected within the guide groove 301. Multiple lower punches 402 are arranged below the guide plate 401 at equal intervals along its length.

[0030] By cooperating with the guide plate 401 and the guide groove 301 , the guide plate 401 can move forward and backward along the guide groove 301 , and the structure has good stability.

[0031] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, it also includes a positioning component, which is arranged on the clamping head 3. The positioning component locks and positions the guide plate 401 to prevent the guide plate 401 from deflecting during the up and down movement of the punch 4.

[0032] Specifically, if Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the positioning assembly includes a push screw 5, a centrally located T-slot guide slot 301, and a corresponding guide plate 401, a T-shaped strip. The sidewalls of the guide slot 301 are provided with push screw holes 302, into which the push screw 5 is threaded, with the inner end of the push screw 5 abutting against the sidewalls of the T-strip. The outer end of the push screw 5 is provided with an Allen wrench hole for tightening or loosening with an Allen wrench.

[0033] Specifically, if Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the side wall of the T-shaped strip facing the screw hole 302 is provided with positioning holes 403. The number of positioning holes 403 matches and corresponds to the number of the lower punch 402. The inner end of the screw 5 can abut against the positioning holes 403. When the screw 5 is pushed into the positioning holes 403, the lower punch 402 corresponding to the positioning holes 403 is located directly below the chuck 3 and enters the working position.

[0034] Obviously, the positioning component can also adopt a pin locking method, open a full-length pin hole on the clamp 3 and the T-shaped strip, and connect the pin holes on different T-shaped strips to realize the switching of the lower punch 402. Similar simple deformation methods all fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0035] By adding the positioning component, the lower punch 402 to be used can be locked before bending to avoid bending failure caused by the offset of the lower punch 402; through the coordinated setting of the top screw hole 302 and the positioning pit 403, it can be ensured that the lower punch 402 to be used is accurately aligned with the round tube to avoid dislocation.

[0036] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the main body of the frame 1 is welded from 12# channel steel, with the openings facing inward. A clearance hole 102 is provided at the column where the support block 6 is mounted. The round tube to be bent passes through this clearance hole 102. Specifically, the clearance hole 102 is a waist-shaped hole cut vertically, so the bent end of the round tube does not interfere with the top wall of the clearance hole 102. A base plate 101 for connecting anchor bolts is provided at each end of the bottom of the frame 1. Bolt holes are provided in the base plate 101.

[0037] By selecting channel steel to weld and form the frame 1, the structure is simple and easy to implement, the material is easy to obtain, and the equipment processing cost is reduced; by adding the bottom plate 101, the utility model can be used upright.

[0038] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the support block 6 is mounted between the flanges of the column channel steel via a pin 7, allowing it to rotate relative to the pin 7. The support block 6 is prismatic in shape, with arcuate grooves 601 of varying diameters centered along its edges to accommodate various sizes of round tubes. In one embodiment, the support block 6 has a triangular prism shape, with semicircular arcuate grooves 601 located along its three edges, corresponding to the sizes of quarter-inch, six-inch, and inch tubes, respectively.

[0039] By setting the support turn block 6 to rotate around the pin shaft 7, the support turn block 6 can swing along with the straight section of the circular tube during the bending process, thereby avoiding hard bending at this location; by setting an arc groove 601 at the edge of the support turn block 6, the straight section of the circular tube can be supported, thereby avoiding the straight section from deflecting to one side.

[0040] |The working process of the round tube bending equipment of this embodiment: First, select the corresponding lower punch 402 according to the specifications of the round tube to be bent. When switching the lower punch 402, use an Allen wrench to loosen the top screw 5, and the inner end of the top screw 5 will exit the positioning pit 403. Manually push and pull the guide plate 401 so that the lower punch 402 of the corresponding specification enters directly below the clamping head 3. Use the Allen wrench to tighten the top screw 5 again, and the inner end of the top screw 5 enters the corresponding positioning pit 403 and tightens it. Manually rotate the support turn blocks 6 on both sides so that the arc groove 601 corresponding to the specifications of the round tube to be bent faces upward. Hold the round tube to be bent and pass it through the clearance hole 102 on one side and out from the other side, and place it on the support turn block 6 to ensure that there is enough spare length at both ends. Press the button of the electrical control box of the operating equipment to push the cylinder 2 downward, driving the lower punch 402 to be pressed to the middle position of the round tube to be bent, and continue to move downward. Figure 4 As shown, the round tube is bent near the lower punch 402. After reaching the set angle, the button of the equipment electric control box is operated to retract the cylinder 2 upward. The bent round tube is taken out and prepared for the next bending operation.

[0041] In summary, the circular tube bending equipment of the present invention arranges multiple lower punches 402 of different specifications at intervals at the bottom of the punch 4. When changing to a different specification circular tube for bending, it is only necessary to move the lower punch 402 of the corresponding specification to the bottom of the clamp 3, without the need for disassembly and installation. The frame 1 adopts a square frame structure, and the middle hollow part is the bending part, which can be used to observe the bending angle and facilitate the control of the bending size. The circular tube bending equipment of the present invention can quickly replace lower punches of different sizes to complete the bending operation of circular tubes of different specifications, thereby improving the operation efficiency. In addition, by cooperating with the guide plate 401 and the guide groove 301, the guide plate 401 can be moved back and forth along the guide groove 301, and the structural stability is good. By adding the positioning component, the lower punch 402 to be used can be locked before bending, avoiding bending failure caused by the offset of the lower punch 402; by cooperating with the top screw hole 302 and the positioning pit 403, it can be ensured that the lower punch 402 to be used is accurately aligned with the circular tube, avoiding misalignment. By using channel steel to weld the frame 1, the structure is simple and easy to implement, and the materials are readily available, thus reducing equipment processing costs. The addition of the base plate 101 facilitates the use of the present invention in an upright position. By providing the support block 6 to rotate about the pin 7, the support block 6 can swing along with the straight section of the circular pipe during the pipe bending process, preventing hard bending at this location. By providing the circular arc groove 601 on the edge of the support block 6, the straight section of the circular pipe can be supported, preventing it from deflecting to one side.

[0042] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, with each embodiment focusing on the differences from other embodiments. Reference can be made to the common and similar parts between the various embodiments. For the devices disclosed in the embodiments, since they correspond to the methods disclosed in the embodiments, the description is relatively simple, and the relevant parts can be referred to the method description.

[0043] The embodiments described above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Without departing from the spirit of the present invention, various modifications and improvements to the technical solutions of the present invention made by ordinary technicians in this field should fall within the scope of protection determined by the claims of the present invention.
