[0028] The utility model proposes a stable bending device for steel pipe processing, comprising: a steel pipe bending table 1, a steel pipe bending mechanism 2 is provided on the upper left side of the steel pipe bending table 1, four bending table guide wheels 101 are rotatably connected to the upper side of the steel pipe bending table 1, a guide chute 102 with a "T"-shaped cross section is provided on the upper surface of the steel pipe bending table 1, a connecting column guide plate 303 is slidably connected in the guide chute 102, a rigid connecting column 3 is fixedly connected above the connecting column guide plate 303, an expansion support sleeve 7 is installed on the left end of the rigid connecting column 3, the expansion support sleeve 7 is made of rubber material, and the expansion support sleeve 7 is provided with an inflatable inner cavity 707, and an air delivery channel 706 is provided at the right end of the inflatable inner cavity 707. The upper surface of the steel pipe bending table 1 is fixedly connected to an air pump 4, and the output end of the air pump 4 is connected to a gas delivery hose 401, and the gas delivery hose 401 is plugged into the gas delivery channel 706; the air pressure inside the inflatable inner cavity 707 can be controlled by the air pump 4, thereby controlling the expansion or contraction of the expansion sleeve 7. The expansion sleeve 7 in the contracted state is convenient for inserting into or withdrawing from the interior of the steel pipe. After the expansion of the expansion sleeve 7 is controlled, the internal support strength of the steel pipe can be improved, and the deformation of the steel pipe can be reduced.

[0029] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the left end of the rigid connecting column 3 is fixedly connected to a docking column 301 with a cylindrical structure, and a column wedge ring 302 is provided on the left edge of the outer wall of the docking column 301, and the wedge surface of the column wedge ring 302 faces to the left, and two through-holes are opened inside the rigid connecting column 3; the right end face of the expansion support sleeve 7 is provided with a docking socket 701, and the left edge of the inner wall of the docking socket 701 is provided with a limiting wedge ring 702, the docking column 301 is plugged into the docking socket 701, and the column wedge ring 302 is fitted with the limiting wedge ring 702; the docking of the expansion support sleeve 7 and the rigid connecting column 3 is achieved by plugging the docking socket 701 and the docking column 301, and the connection strength between the expansion support sleeve 7 and the rigid connecting column 3 is increased by the structure of the column wedge ring 302 and the limiting wedge ring 702.

[0030] Example 2, on the basis of Example 1, a lubricant storage container 5 is fixedly connected above the steel pipe bending table 1, and a lubricant application pump 6 is fixedly connected to the right end face of the rigid connecting column 3; the input end of the lubricant application pump 6 is connected to the inside of the lubricant storage container 5 through a lubricant delivery hose 601, and the lubricant delivery hose 601 at the output end of the lubricant application pump 6 passes through the central through-hole of the rigid connecting column 3; a lubricant channel 703 is provided in the center of the expansion support sleeve 7, and a diversion cavity 704 is provided at the left end of the lubricant channel 703; Diversion holes 705 are radially distributed outside the diversion cavity 704. The diversion holes 705 communicate with the outer surface of the expansion sleeve 7. The lubricant delivery hose 601 is connected to the right end of the lubricant channel 703. During the process of inserting the expansion sleeve 7 into the steel pipe, lubricant is delivered to the lubricant channel 703 by the lubricant application pump 6. The lubricant passes through the diversion cavity 704 and the diversion holes 705 and flows between the outer wall of the expansion sleeve 7 and the inner wall of the steel pipe, thereby improving the lubrication of the expansion sleeve 7 and reducing the resistance of the expansion sleeve 7 to entering the steel pipe.

During this process, the lubricant application pump 6 is started, and the lubricant is delivered to the interior of the lubricant channel 703 through the lubricant application pump 6, so that the lubricant passes through the diversion cavity 704 and the diversion hole 705 and flows between the outer wall of the expansion sleeve 7 and the inner wall of the steel pipe, thereby improving the lubrication of the expansion sleeve 7 and reducing the resistance of the expansion sleeve 7 entering the steel pipe. When the expansion sleeve 7 reaches the bending position, air is delivered to the inner inflation cavity 707 through the air pump 4, increasing the air pressure inside the inflation cavity 707, causing the expansion sleeve 7 to expand on the inner wall of the steel pipe, tightly filling and supporting the steel pipe, and starting the steel pipe bending mechanism 2 to bend the steel pipe. After the bending is completed, the air inside the inflation cavity 707 is released through the air pump 4, causing the expansion sleeve 7 to contract, and the steel pipe is pulled vertically to the right from between the guide wheels 101 of the bending table, and the expansion sleeve 7 is pulled out from the inside of the steel pipe.
