Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of pipe fitting welding point processing, in particular to a precise positioning device for symmetrical welding points of copper pipes. Background Art
[0002] Welding bumps are often used to improve welding efficiency and quality. They require pre-processing on pipe fittings. To form bumps on the wall of a copper pipe, a punch is often used to push a steel ball against the inner wall of the pipe, creating the bumps. However, using this method to create a symmetrical bump structure on the pipe wall requires forming two bumps in sequence. Before processing the second bump, the copper pipe must be rotated and clamped again to ensure symmetry between the two processed bumps. Repeated debugging and measurement are required to ensure absolute symmetrical processing accuracy. Therefore, using common pipe bump forming equipment to create symmetrical bumps is difficult, resulting in poor precision and low efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0015] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0016] As attached Figure 1-2 The device for accurately positioning symmetrical welding points of a copper tube comprises an inner mold and an outer mold, wherein the outer side of the inner mold is sleeved with a tube 1, and the outer mold is sleeved with the outer side of the tube 1. During processing, the tube is sleeved between the inner and outer molds.
[0017] The outer mold includes two half-die 2, which are relatively moved and close to each other for splicing. The inner groove surfaces of the two half-die 2 are spliced to form an annular surface, which fits on the outer wall of the pipe 1. The inner groove surface of the half-die 2 is provided with a forming concave hole 3, and the two forming concave holes 3 are symmetrical with respect to the pipe 1; the position of the pipe is fixed by clamping the two half-die so that the position of the two forming concave holes 3 is fixed relative to the pipe, so as to ensure that the processed convex points are symmetrical with respect to the pipe.
[0018] The inner mold includes two half-punches 4, which are pushed away from each other by a driving structure. The two half-punches 4 correspond to the two half-die 2, respectively. The outer circumferential surfaces of the half-punches 4 are provided with forming protrusions 6, which align with the corresponding forming recesses 3 along their own moving direction. When the forming protrusions 6 are inserted and matched with the corresponding forming recesses 3, the outer circumferential surfaces of the half-punches 4 fit the inner wall surface of the pipe 1. Through the radial impact of the two half-punches, the forming protrusions 6 and the forming recesses 3 are pressed together to form a convex point structure. After complete pressing, the inner arc groove surface of the half-die 2 and the outer circumferential surface of the half-punch 4 clamp the pipe wall, thereby shaping the pipe wall after stamping, ensuring the shape and size quality of the processed pipe.
[0019] The driving structure includes a punch 5, and the two half-punches 4 are respectively attached to the two driving surfaces of the punch 5. The punch 5 is arranged to move along the axis of the pipe 1, and the half-punches 4 are arranged to move in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the pipe 1. Through the sliding cooperation between the punch and the half-punches, the axial impact of the punch is converted into a radial impact of the half-punches, and the two half-punches can be driven to move simultaneously, thereby achieving the simultaneous formation of two convex points, eliminating the need for two consecutive forming steps and the step of adjusting the pipe and re-clamping in the middle. The two simultaneously formed convex points can maintain absolute symmetry.
[0020] The two half-punches 4 are both slidably disposed within the guide groove 41, and the half-punches 4 are elastically connected to the groove end faces of the guide groove 41 via reset members. The elastic reset members allow the two half-punches 4 to fit together in the initial state, and form a cavity between the two half-punches that fits the punch block. The punch block is a strip-shaped block with a pointed cone at the front end. It impacts along its own length and includes two symmetrical inclined driving surfaces at the front end. When the punch block performs an impact motion, the driving surfaces at the front end slide relative to the mating surfaces on the half-punches, thereby synchronously pushing the two half-punches apart until the two half-punches fit together with the two parallel side faces of the punch block, thereby achieving the formation of the convex point.
[0021] During the process, the elastic reset parts on both sides play a certain buffering role. After the stamping is completed, as the punch block is recovered, the half punches on both sides are restored to their initial state under the action of the elastic reset parts, so that the forming protrusions 6 are separated from the forming convex points. Then the half concave molds on both sides are moved to both sides away from the pipe fittings, and the processed pipe fittings can be removed from the inner mold.
[0022] When the two half-punches 4 are fitted together, the ends of the two forming protrusions 6 can just contact the inner wall of the pipe 1 at the same time. Because the two half-punches are radially constrained by the punch block, the inner mold is relatively centered. Therefore, the inner mold in the initial state supports the inner wall of the pipe, and the clamping of the two half-die achieves the central positioning of the pipe during loading, avoiding eccentric clamping of the pipe and the resulting processing errors.
[0023] And because the copper tube has good ductility, when stamping, the forming protrusion 6 directly contacts the inner wall of the copper tube and realizes the forming of the bulge by rapid pressing rather than rapid frontal impact, which can make the formed surface quality better and the transition between the bulge surface and the tube wall surface smoother and rounder.
[0024] A limiter is provided at the base of the semi-punch 4, which mates with the end face of the pipe 1. Based on the aforementioned centering and positioning of the pipe, the limiter mates with the end face of the pipe, thereby achieving axial constraint on the pipe and positioning the protrusion in the axial forming position of the pipe. The limiter is arranged by moving it along the axis of the pipe 1. Adjustments can be made based on the different axial processing positions of the protrusion. During installation, it is sufficient to ensure that the pipe cross-section mates with the limiter.
[0025] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as within the scope of protection of the present invention.
