However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways than those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0023] Example 1, as Figure 1-Figure 3As shown, the utility model provides a bending device for the outdoor unit pipe of an air conditioner, comprising a workbench 1, a support frame 2 is fixedly installed on the top of the workbench 1, two fixed blocks 3 are fixedly installed on the top of the support frame 2, a threaded rod 4 is movably inserted between the inner surface walls of the two fixed blocks 3, a driving motor 5 is arranged on one side of the outer wall of the threaded rod 4, a limiting ring 6 is fixedly provided on the outer wall of the threaded rod 4, a movable slide 7 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the threaded rod 4, a hydraulic cylinder 8 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the movable slide 7, a mechanical gripper 9 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the hydraulic cylinder 8, and the workbench 1 is provided with a movable gripper 9. A hydraulic cylinder 10 is fixedly installed on the top of the workbench 1, and a push plate 11 is fixedly installed on one side of the outer wall of the hydraulic cylinder 10. A baffle 12 is fixedly installed on the top of the workbench 1, and two fixed blocks 13 are fixedly installed on the top of the workbench 1. A threaded rod 14 is movably inserted between the inner walls of the two fixed blocks 13, and a driving motor 15 is provided on one side of the outer wall of the threaded rod 14. A guide rod 16 is fixedly installed on the opposite side of the two fixed blocks 13, and a movable slide 17 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the threaded rod 14. A clamping component 18 is fixedly installed on the top of the movable slide 17.

[0024] The effect achieved by the entire embodiment 1 is as follows: first, the pipeline is pushed to the baffle 12 by the hydraulic cylinder 2 10, and then the driving motor 15 is operated to rotate the threaded rod 14, thereby moving the movable slide 7 so that the movable slide 7 is located above the baffle 12, and then the hydraulic cylinder 18 is operated to make the mechanical gripper 9 descend to clamp the pipeline, and then the movable slide 7 is retracted to the limit ring 6. The limit ring 6 can make the position of the movable slide 7 consistent with the clamping component 18 when moving, and then the hydraulic cylinder 18 descends to put the pipeline and the clamping component 18 at the same horizontal line, so that the clamping component 18 can clamp the pipeline, and can quickly complete the loading action, reduce the time required for loading, and significantly improve the efficiency of the entire production process, and then drive the motor 2 15 to operate to drive the threaded rod 2 14 to rotate, thereby driving the movable slide 2 17 to move, to transport the pipeline, avoiding accidents such as collision and injury that may occur during manual handling, and the guide rod 16 can make the movement of the movable slide 2 17 more stable, ensuring the accuracy of bending.

[0025] Example 2, as Figure 1-Figure 4As shown, a support plate 19 is provided on one side of the outer wall of the workbench 1, a driving motor 3 20 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the support plate 19, a bending head 21 is provided on the output end of the driving motor 3 20, a movable plate 22 is fixedly provided on the outer wall of the bending head 21, a hydraulic cylinder 3 23 is fixedly installed on the top of the movable plate 22, a bending plate 24 is fixedly installed on one side of the outer wall of the hydraulic cylinder 3 23, a hydraulic cylinder 4 25 is fixedly installed on the top of the support plate 19, a fixed plate 26 is fixedly installed on one side of the outer wall of the hydraulic cylinder 4 25, two fixed blocks 3 27 are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the workbench 1, a threaded rod 3 28 is movably inserted between the inner walls of the two fixed blocks 3 27, a driving motor 4 29 is provided on one side of the outer wall of the threaded rod 3 28, a movable slide 3 30 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the threaded rod 3 28, a connecting plate 31 is fixedly installed on the top of the movable slide 30, and the top of the connecting plate 31 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support plate 19.

[0026] The effect achieved by the entire embodiment 2 is that when the device is in normal use, the hydraulic cylinder three 23 and the hydraulic cylinder four 25 are operated to make the bending plate 24 and the fixed plate 26 fit together with the pipeline. Secondly, the operation of the drive motor three 20 can drive the movable plate 22 to cooperate with the bending head 21 and the bending plate 24 to bend the pipeline. Since the pipeline is stably fixed by the fixed plate 26, the bending force and angle can be kept consistent, thereby greatly improving the stability of the bending quality. Secondly, the operation of the drive motor four 29 can drive the threaded rod three 28 to rotate, thereby moving the support plate 19, and finally adjusting the horizontal position of the bending mechanism so that the device can bend in the left and right directions.

[0027] Among them, drive motor 1 5, hydraulic cylinder 1 8, hydraulic cylinder 2 10, drive motor 2 15, drive motor 3 20, hydraulic cylinder 3 23, hydraulic cylinder 4 25 and drive motor 4 29 are all existing technologies, and their components and operating principles are all public technologies, so no further explanation will be given here.

[0028] Working principle: First, when the device is in normal use, a push plate 11 is fixedly installed on one side of the outer wall of the hydraulic cylinder 2 10. The operation of the hydraulic cylinder 2 10 drives the push plate 11 to move, to push the pipeline on the workbench 1, and push it to the baffle 12. Secondly, the driving motor 15 runs to drive the threaded rod 14 to rotate, thereby moving the movable slide 17 to move and move it above the baffle 12. At this time, the hydraulic cylinder 18 at the bottom of the movable slide 7 runs to drive the mechanical gripper 9 to descend to clamp the pipeline, and then moves back to the limit ring 6 and descends again so that the pipeline can be aligned with the clamping component 18. The clamping component 18 clamps the pipeline, and then the driving motor 2 15 runs to drive the threaded rod 2 14 to rotate, thereby driving the movable slide 2 17 to move, to transport the pipeline for bending. At the same time, the movable slide 2 17 is also located on the outer wall of the guide rod 16. The guide rod 16 can make the movement of the movable slide 2 17 more stable, which helps to improve the accuracy and consistency of bending. Secondly, the pipeline moves to the bending head 21, and the hydraulic cylinder three 23 and the hydraulic cylinder four 25 operate at the same time to drive the bending plate 24 to stick to the fixed plate 26 and the pipeline. Secondly, the driving motor three 20 can drive the bending head 21 and the movable plate 22 to rotate together, thereby completing the bending operation of the pipeline. Secondly, when the driving motor four 29 is running, it can drive the threaded rod three 28 to rotate, thereby driving the movable slide three 30 to move, and the position of the support plate 19 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the horizontal direction of the bending mechanism, and can quickly move to the appropriate position for precise bending according to the air-conditioning outdoor unit pipelines of different diameters and lengths.
