The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is actually only illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the present invention and its application or use. 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.

[0025] It should be noted that the terms used herein are only for describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to the present application. As used herein, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular form is also intended to include the plural form. In addition, it should be understood that when the terms "comprise" and / or "include" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components and / or combinations thereof.

[0026] Unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement of the parts and steps, numerical expressions and numerical values ​​set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present invention. At the same time, it should be understood that, for ease of description, the sizes of the various parts shown in the accompanying drawings are not drawn according to actual proportional relationships. The technology, methods and equipment known to those of ordinary skill in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but in appropriate cases, the technology, methods and equipment should be considered as part of the specification. In all examples shown and discussed here, any specific value should be interpreted as being merely exemplary, rather than as a limitation. Therefore, other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values. It should be noted that similar numbers and letters represent similar items in the following figures, and therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further discussed in subsequent figures.

[0027] In the description of the present invention, it needs to be understood that the directions or positional relationships indicated by directional words such as "front, back, up, down, left, right", "horizontal, vertical, vertical, horizontal" and "top, bottom" are usually based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description. Unless otherwise specified, these directional words do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction or be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention; the directional words "inside and outside" refer to the inside and outside relative to the outline of each component itself.

[0028] For ease of description, spatially relative terms such as "above", "above", "on the upper surface of", "above", etc. may be used herein to describe the spatial positional relationship of a device or feature to other devices or features as shown in the figures. It should be understood that spatially relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation described in the figures. For example, if the device in the drawings is inverted, the device described as "above other devices or structures" or "above other devices or structures" will be positioned as "below other devices or structures" or "below other devices or structures". Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below". The device can also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatially relative descriptions used here are interpreted accordingly.

[0029] In addition, it should be noted that the use of words such as "first" and "second" to limit components is only for the convenience of distinguishing the corresponding components.

At least one first robotic claw 52 is installed on the first robotic arm 51, and the number of the first robotic claws 52 can be one, or two or more can be adaptively set. In the present invention, the first pipe end forming device 1 is a first pipe pier machine. The second pipe end forming device 3 is a second pipe pier machine. The first pipe pier machine, the pipe bending device 2, and the second pipe pier machine can adopt the pipe pier device and the pipe bending device in the existing technology.

[0033] Working process:

[0034] The straight pipe is headed at the first end of the pipe by the first pipe head machine. After the head is headed, it is transferred to the pipe bending device 2 by the first robot arm 51 for the bending process. The second robot claw 62 on the second robot arm 61 grabs the bent pipe and transfers it to the top of the second head machine. First, the third robot claw 63 removes the pipe that has completed the head process at the second end on the second head machine. Then, the second robot claw 62 places the pipe that has not yet been headed at the second end on the second head machine after bending. Then, the third robot claw 63 transfers the processed pipe to the visual inspection device 4 for double-end size inspection. Figure 3 , the pipe is bent about 90°, when the size is inspected, Figure 4 ( Figure 4 The figure only indicates the position of the pipe fitting. The actual pipe fitting is clamped by the third mechanical claw 63 for inspection. Along the inspection direction, the axis of the bent pipe is located on the same straight line, or the bent pipe part coincides with the straight pipe along the inspection direction, so that the dimensions of the two ends of the pipe fitting can be inspected.
