At the same time, slide grooves are provided on the opposite side walls in the cavity, and the slide grooves extend horizontally; two adjustment blocks 9 are provided on the movable plate layer 7, and the two adjustment blocks 9 are set to the same structure.

This spring 25 is parallel to the adjusting bolt 10. When the distance between the two adjusting blocks 9 becomes smaller, the spring 25 is stretched to generate a restoring force, so that the distance between the two adjusting blocks 9 can be increased under the action of the restoring force of the spring 25 by screwing the adjusting bolt 10 in the opposite direction; and a bending die 8 is connected between the two adjusting blocks 9, and the bending die 8 is provided with an arc-shaped piece with a certain curvature, and the two ends of the arc piece are respectively connected to the two adjusting blocks 9, and the arc piece is symmetrical about the center line of the length direction of the movable plate layer; the material of the bending die 8 can be selected from an elastic alloy, such as elastic steel;

[0031] At the same time, considering that the press-bending die 8 has a certain elasticity, an internal support assembly is provided above the press-bending die 8.

The rotating rod 13 is screwed on the rotating shaft 12, and the rotating rod 13 can rotate relative to the rotating shaft 12 and move in the vertical direction; the connecting claw is connected to the lower end of the rotating rod 13. The movement of the rotating rod 13 can adjust the distance between the connecting claw and the press-bending die 8, so that the connecting claw can maintain contact with the press-bending die 8 when the press-bending die 8 has different bending degrees, thereby being able to support it;

[0032] Specifically, a vertical through hole is provided on the connecting plate layer 6, and the rotating shaft 12 passes through the vertical through hole. At this time, the lower end of the rotating shaft is located in the cavity.

[0033] Before bending the aluminum tube 5, it is necessary to position the aluminum tube 5. Considering the ductility of the aluminum tube 5 and the fact that the tube will generate a horizontal thrust under the action of the pressure device during the bending process, thereby causing the aluminum tube to slide relative to the support point, a positioning component is required. The positioning component can support the aluminum tube 5 in the initial state while taking into account the relative sliding of the aluminum tube during the bending process.

[0034] Specifically, the positioning assembly is provided on the base, and the positioning assembly includes a positioning seat 17, which is symmetrically arranged about the center line of the base 1 and can slide horizontally on the base; the aluminum tube 5 is placed on the positioning seat 17, and the two positioning seats 17 form a support for the aluminum tube 5; by adjusting the positional relationship between the two positioning seats 17, the position of the support point can be adjusted, and the aluminum tube 5 can be matched with the bending die 8 to obtain different bending shapes;

[0035] The base 1 is provided with a rectangular groove extending downward from the upper surface of the base, thereby forming a rectangular cavity on the base. Two track grooves are provided on two opposite sides of the rectangular cavity, extending horizontally along the length of the base. Two sliding plates 22 are provided in the rectangular groove, with each end of the sliding plate 22 located in the track groove. The two sliding plates 22 are parallel to each other and can slide in the rectangular groove.

[0036] The positioning seat 17 is arranged on the sliding plate 22. By adjusting the position between the two sliding plates 22, the two positioning seats 17 can be moved toward or away from each other. The positioning seat includes a sliding seat 1701 and a "U-shaped frame" 1702. The sliding seat 1701 is fixed on the sliding plate 22, and the "U-shaped frame 1702" is connected to the upper end of the sliding seat 1701. The aluminum tube 5 is placed on the "U-shaped frame 1701", which forms a support for the aluminum tube 5. An anti-slip pad 1703 is provided on the inner side of the "U-shaped frame 1702". When the anti-slip pad 1703 is placed on the aluminum tube 5, it can prevent the relative sliding of the aluminum tube 5 to a certain extent, which can facilitate the positioning of the aluminum tube 5 in the initial state. During the bending process of the aluminum tube 5, the aluminum tube 5 can slide slowly in the horizontal direction, thereby enabling the aluminum tube 5 to achieve a better bending effect.

[0037] In addition, in order to achieve a better bending effect and a variety of bending shapes for the aluminum tube 5 during the bending process, a support assembly is further provided on the base, which can provide secondary support for the aluminum tube 5; that is, a connecting plate 18 is provided in the rectangular groove, the connecting plate 18 is located below the sliding plate 22, and the connecting plate 18 forms a support for the sliding plate 22, and a support assembly 23 is provided on the connecting plate 18, and the support assembly 23 is evenly distributed along the length direction of the connecting plate 18; at the same time, the support assembly 23 can move in the vertical direction relative to the connecting plate 18, thereby adjusting the position of the support assembly 23 relative to the connecting plate 18;

[0038] Specifically, the support assembly 23 includes a ball head 19 and a column 20; wherein the column 20 is connected to the connecting plate 18, and the columns 20 are arranged along the length direction of the connecting plate, but the spacing between two adjacent columns 20 is equal, and a threaded hole is provided on the connecting plate 18, and the threaded hole vertically penetrates the connecting plate 18, and the outer surface of the column 20 is provided with a thread, and the column 20 is assembled with the connecting plate through the threaded hole, so that the column 20 can move in the vertical direction, and the column 20 and the connecting plate 18 are positioned by a nut; An industrial spring 21 is provided between the head 19 and the column 20, and the ball head 19 and the column 20 are connected by the industrial spring 21. When positioning the aluminum tube 5, the relative position between the support assembly 23 and the aluminum tube 5 is adjusted to determine the support point. During the bending process of the aluminum tube 5, the ball head 19 will always maintain contact with the aluminum tube 5. Under the action of the industrial spring 21, the ball head 19 always supports the aluminum tube 5, which can slow down the bending speed of the aluminum tube 5 to a certain extent, thereby achieving a better bending effect.

[0039] At the same time, in order to position the sliding plate 22, a positioning groove 24 is provided on the upper surface of the base 1, and the positioning groove is connected to the track groove. At this time, a bolt assembly is provided at the end of the sliding plate 22, and the bolt assembly passes through the positioning groove 24, and the sliding plate 22 can be positioned by the bolt assembly.

[0040] In addition, the first driving device 4 mentioned in this embodiment is a common device capable of providing power, such as a hydraulic device, an electric push rod, etc.

[0041] When the present device is used, the aluminum tube 5 can be bent by the forming assembly. At the same time, different bending dies 8 can be obtained by adjusting the bending degree of the bending die 8, and the bending uniformity of the bending die 8 can be checked by setting the internal support assembly; the aluminum tube 5 is placed on the positioning seat 17, and the positioning seat supports the aluminum tube 5; the support assembly 23 provided on the base 1 can always support the aluminum tube 5 during the bending process of the aluminum tube 5, so that the aluminum tube 5 can obtain a better bending effect.
