Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of pipe punching, and more specifically to a punching device for steel pipe production. Background Art
[0002] In the prior art, the pipe punching process relies on the reciprocating motion of the feeding mechanism to transport the pipe into the punching mechanism for processing. For example, in the patent application number CN202010562696.2, the unprocessed pipe is integrally mounted on the outside of the mold core and is driven by the feeding mechanism into the punching mechanism to be processed into holes. When the pipe is being processed, the clamping unit of the feeding mechanism clamps the tail end of the pipe and transports the pipe from the side of the mold core fixing frame to the side of the punching mechanism. During the transportation process, before each feeding, the clamping unit of the punching mechanism needs to be opened to loosen the pipe so that the feeding mechanism can transport a section of the pipe to be processed forward. During the loosening feeding, only the clamping unit of the feeding mechanism constrains and fixes the pipe, and the constrained and fixed side is only at one end of the pipe, which has the defect of insufficient clamping and positioning accuracy. In real-world production, pipes can sag due to their own weight, causing them to deviate from the coaxiality of the punching clamp. Alternatively, when the punching clamp opens, the friction caused by the core punch separating from the wall of the processed hole causes the pipe to vibrate, leading to coaxial deviation. If this deviation is not corrected, the clamp will squeeze the misaligned pipe until it is coaxial during the next clamping cycle. During this squeezing process, the clamp can damage the pipe wall, causing indentations or deformation, which can compromise the overall strength of the pipe. Utility Model Content

[0023] Specific embodiment 1: Please refer to Figures 1-6 Attached drawings, including:
[0024] A punching device for steel pipe production comprises a frame 1, a punching mechanism 2, a feeding mechanism 3, a centering and clamping mechanism 4 and a driving mechanism 5.
[0025] The frame 1 is a rectangular metal base. At the center positions on both sides of the upper surface, there is a downwardly recessed space parallel to the longer side for installing the drive mechanism 5. The drive mechanism 5 is set on both sides of the feeding mechanism 3 and the centering clamping mechanism 4. Taking one side of the centering clamping mechanism 4 as an example, the motor 501 is fixed by bolts to the upper surface of the recessed space, located at the right end away from the center of the frame 1. One end of the screw rod 502 is connected to the motor shaft through a coupling, and the other end is rotatably connected to the side wall of the recessed space near the middle of the frame 1 through a bearing. The screw nut 503 matches the screw rod 502, is sleeved on the outer periphery of the screw rod 502, and moves horizontally along the direction of the screw rod under the drive of the motor 501. Similarly, another set of drive mechanisms 5 is set on one side of the feeding mechanism 3 with the same arrangement.
[0026] Two linear slide rails of equal height are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the frame 1 . The linear slide rails are arranged along the longer side of the frame 1 and are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the frame 1 by bolts.
[0027] At the right side linear slide of the frame 1, the linear sliders fixedly mounted on both sides of the lower surface of the centering mounting seat 403 are matched and snap-fitted with the linear slide. The center of the lower surface of the centering mounting seat 403 is fixedly connected to the screw nut 503 below by bolts, and moves horizontally along the direction of the linear slide under the drive of the motor 501. Two rectangular straight plates extend vertically on the left and right sides of the upper surface of the centering mounting seat 403. A pair of centering cylinders 402 are fixed on the vertical rectangular straight plates on both sides with the cylinder rods facing each other. The cylinder rods of the two centering cylinders 402 pass through the rectangular straight plates and extend to the middle of the two plates. The left and right single-piece molds of the centering mold 401 are both arranged in the middle of the two vertical plates. The left and right cylinder rods are respectively connected to the left and right single-piece mold sides of the centering mold 401, driving the two single-piece molds to perform opening and closing operations. The centering mold 401 has two vertical grooves on one side facing the middle of the frame 1, with two grooves on each single mold. The wider side of the stepped centering flap 404 is matched and embedded in the groove, and can slide freely in the groove. The length of the groove is longer than the wider side of the centering flap 404. A spring is installed in the empty space in the groove to fix the side wall of the groove and the wider side wall of the centering flap 404. Under the contraction of the spring, the centering flap 404 in the groove is pulled to move away from each other. After installing the four centering flaps 404 and closing the mold left and right, the four centering flaps 404 are evenly arranged circumferentially with respect to the side of the center of the mold.
[0028] At the left linear slide of the frame 1, the linear sliders fixedly mounted on both sides of the lower surface of the feeding mounting seat 303 are matched and clamped with the linear slide. The center of the lower surface of the feeding mounting seat 303 is fixedly connected to the screw nut 503 below by bolts. Driven by the motor 501, it moves horizontally along the direction of the linear slide. Two rectangular straight plates extend vertically on the left and right sides of the upper surface of the feeding mounting seat 303. A pair of feeding cylinders 302 are fixed on the vertical rectangular straight plates on both sides with the cylinder rods facing each other. The cylinder rods of the two feeding cylinders 302 pass through the rectangular straight plates and extend to the middle of the two plates. The left and right single molds of the feeding clamp 301 are both set in the middle of the two vertical plates. The left and right cylinder rods are respectively connected to the sides of the left and right single molds of the feeding clamp 301, driving the two single molds to open and close the molds. A circular through hole is opened in the middle of the side of the feeding clamp 301 after the mold is closed. Its size matches the outer wall size of the corresponding processed pipe fitting. The feeding clamp 301 can be disassembled and replaced as needed to match different pipe fitting products.
[0029] In the middle of the rack 1, fixedly provided with punching mechanism 2, the punch mounting seat 206 of punching mechanism 2 is fixedly welded to the upper surface of the rack 1. On both sides of the punch mounting seat 206, two rectangular vertical plates extend upward, and a pair of die clamping cylinders 202 are fixed on the two vertical rectangular plates in opposite directions of the cylinder rod. The left and right two single dies of the punch die 201 are connected with the cylinder rods of the die clamping cylinders 202 respectively, and the opening and closing of the dies are realized under the action of the die clamping cylinders 202. The upper side and both sides of the punch die 201 are respectively provided with through holes for the punch 204 and the pipe to pass through during die closing, and different punch dies 201 can be replaced to match different pipe products. Four vertical columns are fixedly arranged on the upper surface of the punch mounting seat 206, and a top plate is connected to the top ends of the vertical columns. The punch oil cylinder 203 is fixedly arranged on the upper surface of the top plate, and the oil cylinder rod extends to the upper side of the punch die 201 through the top plate. The oil cylinder rod is fixedly connected with the punch 204 below, and the position is vertically corresponding to the through hole above the punch die 201. Under the drive of the punch oil cylinder 203, the head end of the punch 204 can extend into the through hole to punch. The die head of the punch die core 205 extends into the side hole of the punch die 201, and the punch forming cavity above the die head is vertically corresponding to the through hole above the punch die 201 while keeping concentric with the side hole. One end of the punch die core 205 on the left side is fixedly connected with the guide pipe 207, and the guide pipe 207 is fixedly connected with the connecting plate in the middle of the left end of the rack 1 to realize the transverse fixation of the guide pipe 207 and the punch die core 205.
[0030] Working principle: The linear slide rails on the rack 1 are horizontally arranged, the side hole through hole of the punch die 201 of the punch mechanism 2 after installation, the die closing center of the feeding die 301 of the feeding mechanism 3 and the center clamping mechanism 4 are on the same axis. The pipe to be processed is sleeved outside the guide pipe 207, and one end is clamped by the feeding die 301 of the feeding mechanism 2 after die closing. The other end is clamped by the center clamping mechanism 4 as shown in the drawing, and the die is opened and pressurized to expand the center clamping mechanism 4 to support and position the pipe. Figure 6 The center clamping mechanism 4 always provides coaxiality guaranteed support clamping during the opening of the punch mechanism 2 and the feeding of the pipe by the feeding mechanism 3, and moves with the feeding mechanism 3 at the same distance under the drive of the driving mechanism 5, so as to avoid the deviation of the coaxiality due to the sagging of the pipe due to its own weight or the friction between the punch 204 and the pipe wall when the punch 204 is separated from the processing hole, and to avoid die closing damage.
