[0028] See Figure 1 As shown, an aluminum tube profile straightening device includes a support leg 1, and a horizontal fixing rod 2 and a longitudinal fixing rod are fixedly installed between the two support legs. The horizontal fixing rod 2 and the longitudinal fixing rod jointly fix the support legs, ensuring that the support legs will not be deformed due to the device being too heavy, so that the service life of the device is greatly extended; a workbench 3 is connected to the support leg 1, and a straightening machine box 4 and a conveying assembly are provided on the workbench 3. An aluminum tube inlet 5 and an aluminum tube outlet 6 are respectively opened on two opposite sides of the straightening machine box 4. At the same time, a straightening assembly is also provided in the straightening machine box 4. The aluminum tube 29 to be straightened enters the straightening machine box 4 from the aluminum tube inlet 5 and is then conveyed out from the aluminum tube outlet 6. The aluminum tube 29 is straightened by the straightening assembly during this movement. A support platform 7 is docked at the aluminum tube inlet 5, and the aluminum tube 29 to be straightened can be placed on the support platform 7. In addition, a hazard sign is fixedly pasted on the outer surface of the straightening machine, and the hazard sign can remind staff to pay attention to safety.

[0029] When the above-mentioned aluminum tube passes through the straightening chassis 4, the conveying assembly applies traction to the aluminum tube. The conveying assembly includes a fixing device and a driving device. The end of the aluminum tube 29 to be straightened can be stably clamped by the fixing device. The fixing device and the driving device are connected. The driving device can control the fixing device to move back and forth in a straight line. When the fixing device moves, it can drive the aluminum tube 29 to be straightened to move. The aluminum tube 29 to be straightened is straightened by the straightening assembly during the movement. It should be noted that when the aluminum tube is docked with the fixing device, one end of the aluminum tube extends from the aluminum tube outlet 6. At this time, the bent part of the aluminum tube has not yet entered the straightening chassis. When the driving device provides pulling force to the fixing device, the aluminum tube will pass through the straightening chassis.

[0030] The above-mentioned fixing device includes an inner supporting device and an outer clamping device. The inner supporting device is located inside the aluminum tube 29 to be straightened, and the outer clamping device is located outside the aluminum tube 29 to be straightened. The inner supporting device and the outer clamping device simultaneously form a tight clamping on the tube wall of the aluminum tube 29 to be straightened.

[0031] See Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, the internal support device includes a liner ring 8, which is provided with a threaded through-hole. In this scheme, preferably, there are four threaded through-holes, which are distributed in a circular array around the central axis of the liner ring 8. A bolt 9 is screwed into each threaded through-hole, and the free end of the bolt 9 is connected to an inner head 10. The end face of the inner head 10 is a spherical surface, and the inner head 10 is located between the wall of the aluminum tube 29 to be straightened and the liner ring 8; a side baffle 11 is connected to the end face of the liner ring 8, and four fan-shaped notches 12 are opened on the side baffle 11. The four fan-shaped notches 12 are distributed in a circular array around the central axis of the side baffle 11. The operator can reach into the fan-shaped notch 12 to screw the bolt 9, thereby adjusting the distance between the inner head 10 and the inner wall of the aluminum tube 29 to be straightened.

[0032] See Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, a horizontal pulling arm 13 is connected to the center of the side baffle 11. The horizontal pulling arm 13 is located on the side of the side baffle 11 away from the inlet 5 of the aluminum tube 29 to be straightened. A connecting rod 14 is connected to the horizontal pulling arm 13. There are four connecting rods 14. The four connecting rods 14 are distributed in a circular array with the center of the horizontal pulling arm 13. The above-mentioned external clamping device includes a sleeve 15 sleeved on the connecting rod 14. The sleeve 15 and the connecting rod 14 are matched through a concave-convex structure. For example, a limiting groove extending along the length direction is provided on the connecting rod 14, and a protrusion is fixed on the inner wall of the sleeve 15. The protrusion is located in the limiting groove and can slide in the limiting groove. The sleeve 15 is connected to a splint. 16. The splint 16 is also an arc-shaped plate. The splint 16 is located on the outside of the aluminum tube. The position of the splint 16 corresponds to the position of the above-mentioned inner head 10. The sleeve 15 can slide along the length direction of the connecting rod 14 with the splint 16, but the sleeve 15 cannot rotate. In order to facilitate fixing the sleeve 15 at a certain position on the connecting rod 14, the splint 16 is fixed at a certain fixed position. A threaded section is provided at the end of the connecting rod 14, and a nut 17 can be screwed on the threaded section. The position of the splint 16 is locked by tightening the nut 17; the splint 16 and the inner head 10 tightly clamp the wall of the aluminum tube 29 to be straightened to achieve a tight connection of the aluminum tube 29 to be straightened.

[0033] A vertical plate 18 is provided on one side of the workbench 3 close to the aluminum tube outlet 6. The above-mentioned driving device includes an electric push rod 19 connected to the vertical plate 18. The electric push rod 19 is horizontally arranged. The free end of the electric push rod 19 is connected to the outer end of the transverse pull arm 13. In order to enhance the stability of the electric push rod 19, a diagonal pull arm 28 is connected to the electric push rod 19. The other end of the diagonal pull arm 28 is connected to the vertical plate 18. When the fixing device is tightly connected to the aluminum tube 29 to be straightened, the driving device can drive the aluminum tube 29 to be straightened to move horizontally. During the translation process, the straightening assembly straightens the aluminum tube 29 to be straightened.

[0034] See Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the straightening assembly includes two groups of positioning devices, which are symmetrically distributed around the transverse center axis of the straightening base. When the aluminum tube enters the straightening box, the aluminum tube is located between the two groups of positioning devices. Each group of positioning devices includes a number of guide shafts, which are arranged along the direction of translation of the aluminum tube. A guide sleeve 24 is sleeved on the guide shaft 23, and the guide sleeve 24 can rotate. When the electric push rod 19 drives the fixing device to translate, the aluminum tube 29 to be straightened is straightened when it passes between the two groups of positioning devices.

[0035] In addition, a limiting device is provided at the aluminum tube inlet 5, and the limiting device includes a limiting plate 25, and a groove with a "convex"-shaped cross-section is provided on the upper surface of the limiting plate 25. A threaded through-hole is provided on the straightening chassis 4, and the threaded through-hole is vertically arranged and located directly above the aluminum tube inlet 5. A threaded rod 26 passes through the threaded through-hole, and the lower end of the threaded rod is located in the groove. In addition, a tension reset spring 27 is sleeved on the threaded rod 26, and the two ends of the tension reset spring 27 are respectively connected to the limiting plate 25 and the top surface of the aluminum tube inlet 5. In the initial state, the tension reset spring 27 is in a natural state. After the aluminum tube 29 to be straightened is placed on the support 7, the height of the limiting plate 25 is adjusted by screwing the screw so that the limiting plate 25 just contacts the aluminum tube 29 to be straightened. The setting of the limiting device can prevent the aluminum tube 29 to be straightened from flipping upward during the translation process, thereby achieving a better straightening effect.

[0036] When using this device, first extend the electric push rod 19 to its maximum state, and allow the aluminum tube to be straightened to pass through the aluminum tube outlet 5 (at this time, the bent part of the aluminum tube has not yet entered the straightening machine chassis), then adjust the internal support device and the external clamping device so that the inner head 10 and the clamping plate 16 can stably clamp the end of the aluminum tube 29 to be straightened, then screw the threaded rod 26 so that the limit plate 25 is just in contact with the aluminum tube 29 to be straightened, and finally retract the electric push rod 19, and the aluminum tube 29 to be straightened performs a translational movement. During the translation process, the straightening assembly straightens the aluminum tube 29 to be straightened and finally completely outputs it from the aluminum tube outlet 6.

[0037] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any modifications or substitutions that can be easily conceived by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be based primarily on the scope of protection of the claims.
