Due to the structure and working characteristics of the pipe bending machine itself, the operation of manually inserting the pipe fittings into the pipe groove of the pipe bending machine is dangerous, and only one person can use one machine, the production efficiency is low, and the automation of pipe bending production cannot be achieved.

The robot only needs to transport the raw pipe fittings to the auxiliary device, realizing the operation of multiple machines by one person during the pipe bending production process, thereby improving the efficiency of pipe bending production.

The pipe fitting sleeve 212 is connected to the sliding part of the second slide module through the buffer spring 213 and reciprocates along the X1 axis direction with the sliding part of the second slide module.

[0043] In the above technical solution, the auxiliary device for the automated production of a pipe bender is used in conjunction with the pipe bender 100 to realize automatic loading of the pipe bender 100, thereby avoiding the safety hazards of manually operating the pipe bender 100. The auxiliary device for the automated production of a pipe bender includes a pipe conveying module 200 and a pipe installation module, wherein the pipe conveying module 200 is used to convey the pipes sleeved on the pipe installation module to the pipe groove of the pipe bender 100 and position them in place, and the pipe installation module is used to actively set the pipes to be processed thereon (that is, the pipes are sleeved on the pipe molds of the pipe installation module), and the pipes are conveyed to the pipe groove of the pipe bender 100 and positioned in place as the pipe conveying module 200 moves, thereby realizing automatic installation and positioning of pipes in the pipe bender 100, so that the pipe bender 100 can be connected to an automated pipe bending production line.

[0044] In the above technical solution, the pipe conveying module 200 includes a Z-axis motion component, an X1-axis motion component and an X2-axis motion component, wherein the Z-axis motion component is used to control the reciprocating motion of the whole formed by the X1-axis motion component, the X2-axis motion component and the pipe installation module along the Z-axis (vertical direction), the X1-axis motion component is used to control the pipe sleeve 212 in the pipe installation module to reciprocate along the X1-axis direction (first horizontal direction), and the X2-axis motion component is used to control the pipe mold 209 in the pipe installation module to reciprocate along the X2-axis direction (second horizontal direction). The pipe mold 209 is inserted into the pipe sleeve 212, and the X1 axis and the X2 axis are arranged parallel to each other up and down.

[0045] In the above technical solution, the Z-axis motion component, the X1-axis motion component and the X2-axis motion component all include a slide module, which are respectively the first slide module, the second slide module and the third slide module, wherein the sliding part of the first slide module is connected to the fixed part of the second slide module, and the fixed part of the third slide module is connected to the fixed part of the second slide module, thereby realizing the reciprocating motion of the whole formed by the Z-axis motion component controlling the X1-axis motion component, the X2-axis motion component and the pipe installation module along the Z-axis (vertical direction).

[0046] In the above technical solution, the pipe fitting installation module includes a pipe fitting sleeve 212 and a pipe fitting mold 209 inserted in the pipe fitting sleeve 212, wherein one end of the pipe fitting sleeve 212 is connected to the sliding part of the second slide module through a buffer spring 213, and reciprocates along the X1 axis direction with the sliding part of the second slide module, that is, the two ends of the buffer spring 213 respectively abut the pipe fitting sleeve 212 and the sliding part of the second slide module, and the buffer spring 213 has a high hardness to prevent the buffer spring 213 from bending downward due to its own weight, causing the pipe fitting sleeve 212 to tilt. After the pipe fitting mold 209 passes through the pipe fitting sleeve 212 and the buffer spring 213 in sequence from the other end of the pipe fitting sleeve 212, continues to pass through the sliding part of the second slide assembly, and is connected to the sliding part of the third slide module and reciprocates along the X2 axis direction with the sliding part of the third slide module.

[0047] In the above technical solution, the process of the auxiliary device for the automated production of the pipe bending machine is as follows: the first slide assembly drives the second slide assembly, the third slide assembly and the pipe fitting installation module to descend, so that the pipe fitting on the pipe fitting installation module corresponds to the height of the pipe groove of the pipe bending machine 100, the third slide assembly drives the pipe fitting mold 209 and the pipe fitting sleeved on the pipe fitting mold 209 to be inserted into the pipe groove of the pipe bending machine 100 in the horizontal direction, and the second slide assembly drives the pipe fitting sleeve 212 to move in the horizontal direction toward the pipe bending machine 100, so that the pipe fitting is away from the pipe fitting mold 209, which facilitates the operation of the pipe bending machine 100 and the bending of the pipe fitting is completed.

[0053] In the above technical solution, the inclined bracket is arranged close to the X2 motion component in a direction perpendicular to the X1 axis, including a pair of low-position brackets 303 arranged in parallel, a pair of high-position brackets 301 and an inclined plate 302 connecting the low-position bracket 303 and the high-position bracket 301. The preferred inclination angle of the inclined plate 302 is 30~45°, the low-position bracket 303 and the high-position bracket 301 are arranged in the horizontal direction, and the low-position bracket 303 and the free end of the pipe fitting mold 209 are located on one side. A plurality of raw pipe fittings are arranged on the inclined plate 302. Under the action of the gravity of the pipe fittings, they fall one by one onto the pipe fitting positioning assembly. Therefore, the pipe fitting positioning assembly is arranged below the side of the inclined plate 302 close to the low-position bracket 303; preferably, the inclined plate 302 is close to one end of the low-position bracket 303, and a pair of relatively arranged limit frames are provided thereon, so that when the raw pipe fittings fall to the position of the limit frame, they are constrained by the limit frame.

The telescopic rods 306 are capable of telescopic movement relative to the positioning base 305. One implementation utilizes a pneumatic cylinder to drive the telescopic rods 306 up and down. The pipe-locking claws are semicircular, facilitating the proper engagement of the pipe with the claws. The telescopic rods 306 are used to elevate the pipe to be processed to a certain height, facilitating robot operation and enabling infrared sensors to detect the pipe's position.

[0054] In the above technical solution, the activity process of the pipe preparation module 300 is as follows: the raw pipes placed on the inclined bracket leave the inclined bracket one by one and fall into the pipe clamping claws, a pair of telescopic rods 306 lift the pipes to be processed to a specified height (for easy grasping by the robot), and the infrared sensor set on the mounting plate 304 detects that the pipes are in place and waits for grasping by the robot.

[0055] In one of the technical solutions, a baffle is provided on the side of the horizontal frame 307 away from the inclined plate 302 to ensure that the pipe to be processed falls smoothly into the pipe clamping claw and prevent the pipe to be processed from falling from the side of the horizontal frame 307 away from the inclined plate 302.
