DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0044] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present application more clear, the present application is further described in detail below in combination with the drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application, and are not used to limit the present application.

[0045] Please refer to Figures 1-6 the present application proposes a pipe reducing machine 1, which can effectively reduce the processing error caused by manual operation, reduce the possibility of scratching the surface of the pipe 2, improve the yield of products, and effectively reduce the personnel investment, reduce the injury and cost.

[0046] The pipe reducing machine 1 is used for reducing the pipe section 2a of the pipe 2; the pipe reducing machine 1 comprises a rack 10, an elastic member 20, a driving member 30 and a pushing assembly 40. The rack 10 has a mounting through hole 12a, and the pipe section 2a of the pipe 2 extends into the mounting through hole 12a. The elastic member 20 is arranged in the mounting through hole 12a, and the elastic member 20 is located between the hole wall surface of the mounting through hole 12a and the outer side surface of the pipe section 2a of the pipe 2. The driving member 30 is mounted on the rack 10. The pushing assembly 40 is arranged on the driving end of the driving member 30. The driving end of the driving member 30 is configured to push the pushing assembly 40 towards the mounting through hole 12a to extrude the elastic member 20, so that the elastic member 20 is elastically deformed in the direction perpendicular to the hole axis of the mounting through hole 12a to extrude the pipe section 2a of the pipe 2.

[0047] The specific structure of the pipe reducing machine 1 will be introduced below. Figures 1-14 The specific structure of the pipe reducing machine 1 will be introduced below.

[0048] As shown in Figures 1-2 , the pipe reducing machine 1 is used for reducing the pipe section 2a of the pipe 2. It should be noted that the pipe section 2a of the pipe 2 can be inserted with the assembly part 3 or not; when the pipe section 2a of the pipe 2 is not inserted with the assembly part 3, the pipe diameter of the pipe section 2a of the pipe 2 is reduced after being processed by the pipe reducing machine 1; when the pipe section 2a of the pipe 2 is inserted with the assembly part 3, the pipe diameter of the pipe section 2a of the pipe 2 is reduced after being processed by the pipe reducing machine 1, and the assembly part 3 is positioned on the pipe 2 to form an assembly. The product form of the pipe 2 can be but not limited to the front leg pipe of a child's car, the rear leg pipe of a child's car, etc.; the product form of the assembly part 3 can be but not limited to the wheel core nail, etc. For example, the wheel core nail as the assembly part 3 is inserted into the pipe section 2a of the front leg pipe of a child's car as the pipe 2 by an inner plug, and the pipe reducing machine 1 can reduce the pipe section 2a of the front leg pipe of a child's car to position the wheel core nail on the front leg pipe of a child's car to form an assembly.

[0049] As shown in Figures 1-4 , the pipe reducing machine 1 comprises a rack 10, an elastic member 20, a driving member 30 and a pushing assembly 40.

[0050] The rack 10 is the frame of the pipe reducing machine 1, and is used for carrying the pipe 2 and mounting the driving member 30 and other components; the specific structure of the rack 10 will be introduced below.

[0051] The rack 10 has a mounting through hole 12a; the mounting through hole 12a is a through hole on the rack 10 for the pipe section 2a of the pipe 2 to extend into.

[0052] The elastic member 20 serves as the tube shrinking member 2 of the tube shrinking machine 1. The elastic member 20 is adapted to elastically deform under load and to recover its elastic deformation upon removal of the external force. The specific structure of the elastic member 20 is not specified here; designers can design it based on practical needs. For example, the elastic member 20 may include, but is not limited to, an elastic ring, an elastic block, etc. The specific material used for the elastic member 20 is not specified here; designers can select the material based on practical needs. For example, the elastic member 20 may include, but is not limited to, elastic rubber, elastic silicone, elastic resin, etc.

[0053] The elastic member 20 is disposed in the mounting through hole 12 a , and the elastic member 20 is located between the hole wall surface of the mounting through hole 12 a and the outer side surface of the pipe section 2 a to be compressed of the pipe fitting 2 .

[0054] The drive member 30 serves as the power source for the tube shrinking machine 1 and is used to drive the push assembly 40 toward or away from the mounting hole 12a. The specific form of the drive member 30 is not limited here, and designers can reasonably design it according to actual needs. For example, the drive member 30 can include, but is not limited to, a pneumatic cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder 31.

[0055] The driver 30 is mounted on the frame 10. The specific connection method between the driver 30 and the frame 10 is not limited herein, and designers may reasonably design it based on actual needs. For example, the driver 30 may be, but is not limited to, detachably connected to the frame 10 via at least one of screwing, snapping, or plugging. For another example, the driver 30 may be, but is not limited to, non-detachably connected to the frame 10 via welding or riveting.

[0056] like Figures 3-6 As shown, the push assembly 40 serves as the extrusion structure of the tube shrinking machine 1, and is used to squeeze the elastic member 20 to cause the elastic member 20 to produce elastic deformation, so that the tube section 2a of the tube 2 to be compressed is deformed under the extrusion action of the elastic deformation produced by the elastic member 20, thereby achieving the purpose of shrinking. The specific structure of the push assembly 40 will be described in detail below.

[0057] The push assembly 40 is disposed at the driving end of the driving member 30. For example, when the driving member 30 includes a pneumatic cylinder, the telescopic rod of the cylinder serves as the driving end of the driving member 30, and the push assembly 40 is disposed on the telescopic rod of the cylinder. For another example, when the driving member 30 includes a hydraulic cylinder 31, the push column of the hydraulic cylinder 31 serves as the driving end of the driving member 30, and the push assembly 40 is disposed on the push column of the hydraulic cylinder 31.

[0058] The driving end of the driving member 30 is configured to push the pushing assembly 40 towards the elastic member 20 to extrude the elastic member 20 to produce elastic deformation in the direction perpendicular to the hole axis of the mounting through hole 12a to extrude the to-be-compressed pipe section 2a of the pipe 2. It should be noted that when the to-be-compressed pipe section 2a of the pipe 2 is inserted with the to-be-assembled part 3, the pushing assembly 40 is moved towards the elastic member 20 under the action of the driving end of the driving member 30 to extrude the elastic member 20 to produce elastic deformation in the direction perpendicular to the hole axis of the mounting through hole 12a to extrude the to-be-compressed pipe section 2a of the pipe 2, so as to position the to-be-assembled part 3 in the pipe 2 to form an assembled body.

[0059] Based on the pipe shrinking machine 1 in the embodiment of the present application, the driving member 30, the pushing assembly 40 and the elastic member 20 are designed to cooperate with each other, so that the pushing assembly 40 is moved towards the mounting through hole 12a under the action of the driving end of the driving member 30 to extrude the elastic member 20, and the elastic member 20 is suitable for producing elastic deformation in the direction perpendicular to the hole axis of the mounting through hole 12a under the extrusion action of the pushing assembly 40, and the to-be-compressed pipe section 2a of the pipe 2 is deformed under the extrusion action of the elastic deformation produced by the elastic member 20 to achieve the purpose of necking. Such operation is simple and can realize batch production, effectively reduce the processing error caused by manual operation, reduce the possibility of scratching the surface of the pipe 2, improve the yield of products, and effectively reduce the personnel investment and cost. It is worth mentioning that the pipe shrinking machine 1 in the embodiment of the present application uses the elastic deformation produced by the elastic member 20 to perform necking treatment on the to-be-compressed pipe section 2a of the pipe 2, and the elastic member 20 and the to-be-compressed pipe section 2a of the pipe 2 form a flexible contact (not a hard contact), so that the possibility of scratching the surface of the pipe 2 can be effectively reduced or even avoided.

[0060] As shown in Figures 3-6 The elastic member 20 includes a rubber ring. By designing the elastic member 20 as a rubber ring, the rubber ring is arranged around the circumference of the to-be-compressed pipe section 2a of the pipe 2, so that the elastic deformation produced by the elastic member 20 under the extrusion action of the pushing assembly 40 can extrude the circumference of the to-be-compressed pipe section 2a of the pipe 2 to realize the necking treatment on the circumference of the to-be-compressed pipe section 2a of the pipe 2. It is worth mentioning that when the to-be-compressed pipe section 2a of the pipe 2 is inserted with the to-be-assembled part 3, the elastic deformation produced by the elastic member 20 extrudes the circumference of the to-be-compressed pipe section 2a of the pipe 2, which can effectively enhance the connection tightness between the to-be-assembled part 3 and the pipe 2 in the assembled body, thereby further improving the yield of the assembled body.

[0061] As shown in Figures 3-6As shown, the pushing assembly 40 comprises a first pushing piece 41 and a second pushing piece 42; the first pushing piece 41 is arranged at the driving end of the driving piece 30; the second pushing piece 42 is arranged at one end of the first pushing piece 41 close to the mounting through hole 12a. The driving end of the driving piece 30 pushes the first pushing piece 41 to move towards the mounting through hole 12a to drive the second pushing piece 42 to extrude the elastic piece 20, so that the elastic piece 20 generates the first elastic deformation (one of the above-mentioned elastic deformations, i.e. the above-mentioned elastic deformations include the first elastic deformation).

[0062] The first pushing piece 41 serves as a transmission piece of the pushing assembly 40, for transmitting the driving force generated by the driving end of the driving piece 30 to the second pushing piece 42, so that the second pushing piece 42 extrudes the elastic piece 20 to make the elastic piece 20 generate the first elastic deformation. The specific structure of the first pushing piece 41 is not limited here, and designers can make reasonable design according to actual needs; for example, the first pushing piece 41 can but is not limited to include a pushing column or a pushing cylinder.

[0063] The second pushing piece 42 serves as one extruding piece of the pushing assembly 40, for extruding the elastic piece 20 to make the elastic piece 20 generate the first elastic deformation. The specific structure of the second pushing piece 42 is not limited here, and designers can make reasonable design according to actual needs; for example, the second pushing piece 42 can but is not limited to include another pushing column or another pushing cylinder.

[0064] By designing the first pushing piece 41 and the second pushing piece 42, the first pushing piece 41 moves towards the mounting through hole 12a under the action of the driving end of the driving piece 30 to drive the second pushing piece 42 to also move towards the mounting through hole 12a, the second pushing piece 42 extrudes the elastic piece 20, and the elastic piece 20 is suitable for generating the first elastic deformation perpendicular to the hole axis direction of the mounting through hole 12a under the extrusion action of the second pushing piece 42, while the to-be-compressed pipe segment 2a of the pipe piece 2 is deformed under the extrusion action of the first elastic deformation generated by the elastic piece 20, so as to achieve the purpose of necking; such operation is simple, batch production is realized, processing errors caused by manual work can be effectively reduced, the possibility of scratching the surface of the pipe piece 2 is reduced, the yield of products is improved, in addition, personnel investment can be effectively reduced, and the cost is reduced.

[0065] It can be understood that the size of the elastic deformation generated by the elastic piece 20 determines the deformation degree of the to-be-compressed pipe segment 2a of the pipe piece 2, thereby determining the size of the necking. For example, the greater the elastic deformation generated by the elastic piece 20, the greater the deformation degree of the to-be-compressed pipe segment 2a of the pipe piece 2, and the smaller the necking; for another example, the smaller the elastic deformation generated by the elastic piece 20, the smaller the deformation degree of the to-be-compressed pipe segment 2a of the pipe piece 2, and the greater the necking. In order to adjust the elastic deformation generated by the elastic piece 20 to adapt to the necking treatment of the to-be-compressed pipe segment 2a of the pipe piece 2 of different sizes, the design is as follows,Figures 3-12 As shown, the pushing assembly 40 further comprises an adjusting cylinder seat 43.

[0066] The adjusting cylinder seat 43 covers and is fixedly connected with the driving end of the driving member 30, and is configured to be adjustable in position along the direction of the hole axis of the mounting through hole 12a relative to the driving end of the driving member 30. The first pushing member 41 extends into the cavity of the adjusting cylinder seat 43 at the end away from the mounting through hole 12a, and is in sliding connection with the adjusting cylinder seat 43, and the end of the first pushing member 41 close to the mounting through hole 12a is in sliding connection with the second pushing member 42.

[0067] When the adjusting cylinder seat 43 is adjusted to be lower than the preset position along the direction of the hole axis of the mounting through hole 12a relative to the driving end of the driving member 30, the driving end of the driving member 30 moves along the direction of the hole axis of the mounting through hole 12a towards the mounting through hole 12a, to drive the first pushing member 41 to push the second pushing member 42 to extrude the elastic member 20, so that the elastic member 20 generates a first elastic deformation.

[0068] When the adjusting cylinder seat 43 is adjusted to be higher than the preset position along the direction of the hole axis of the mounting through hole 12a relative to the driving end of the driving member 30, the driving end of the driving member 30 moves along the direction of the hole axis of the mounting through hole 12a towards the mounting through hole 12a, to drive the adjusting cylinder seat 43 to push the second pushing member 42 to extrude the elastic member 20, so that the elastic member 20 generates a second elastic deformation (the other of the above-mentioned elastic deformations, i.e. the above-mentioned elastic deformations further include the second elastic deformation); and the second elastic deformation is greater than the first elastic deformation.

[0069] The adjusting cylinder seat 43 can be, but is not limited to, fixedly connected with the driving end of the driving member 30 by at least one of the following modes: screwing, clamping or inserting. The adjusting cylinder seat 43 is movable along the direction of the hole axis of the mounting through hole 12a relative to the driving end of the driving member 30, so that the position of the adjusting cylinder seat 43 is adjustable. During the movement of the adjusting cylinder seat 43 along the direction of the hole axis of the mounting through hole 12a relative to the driving end of the driving member 30, the adjusting cylinder seat 43 corresponds to a plurality of positions, one of which is the preset position, as shown, and the "preset position" is the position of the adjusting cylinder seat 43 when the driving end of the driving member 30 has not moved along the direction of the hole axis of the mounting through hole 12a towards the mounting through hole 12a (i.e. before the pushing column of the oil cylinder 31 to be introduced below is elongated), the first pushing member 41 is supported on the driving end of the driving member 30 under its own gravity, the second pushing member 42 is supported on the first pushing member 41 under its own gravity, and the adjusting cylinder seat 43 is adjusted to the position corresponding to the moment when the upper end face of the adjusting cylinder seat 43 just contacts the lower end face of the second pushing member 42 (at this moment, the gravity of the second pushing member 42 does not act on the adjusting cylinder seat 43). Figure 8 ​

[0070] It should be noted that when the adjustment cylinder seat 43 is adjusted to below the above-mentioned preset position, the driving end of the driving member 30 drives the first push member 41 to push the second push member 42 to squeeze the elastic member 20, causing the elastic member 20 to produce a first elastic deformation. At this time, the upper end face of the adjustment cylinder seat 43 is spaced from the lower end face of the second push member 42, and the gravity of the second push member 42 completely acts on the first push member 41; when the adjustment cylinder seat 43 is adjusted to above the above-mentioned preset position, the driving end of the driving member 30 drives the adjustment cylinder seat 43 to push the second push member 42 to squeeze the elastic member 20, causing the elastic member 20 to produce a second elastic deformation. At this time, the upper end face of the adjustment cylinder seat 43 is in contact with the lower end face of the second push member 42, and the gravity of the second push member 42 completely acts on the adjustment cylinder seat 43.

[0071] In addition, it should be noted that when the adjustment cylinder seat 43 is adjusted to be lower than the above-mentioned preset position, the distance △X (such as Figure 8 4. As shown in FIG5 , whether the adjustment cylinder seat 43 is increased or decreased, the first elastic deformation of the elastic member 20 generated by the squeezing action of the second push member 42 will not change. When the adjustment cylinder seat 43 is adjusted to a position higher than the above-mentioned preset position, if the spacing △X between the upper end surface of the adjustment cylinder seat 43 and the upper end surface of the driving end of the driving member 30 in the direction of the hole axis of the installation through hole 12a increases, the second elastic deformation of the elastic member 20 generated by the squeezing action of the second push member 42 will increase. Conversely, if the spacing △X between the upper end surface of the adjustment cylinder seat 43 and the upper end surface of the driving end of the driving member 30 in the direction of the hole axis of the installation through hole 12a decreases, the second elastic deformation of the elastic member 20 generated by the squeezing action of the second push member 42 will decrease.

[0072] By designing the adjusting cylinder seat 43, by changing the position of the adjusting cylinder seat 43 relative to the driving end of the driving member 30 along the direction of the hole axis of the mounting through hole 12a, and adjusting the adjusting cylinder seat 43 to be lower than the above-mentioned preset position, the driving end of the driving member 30 drives the first pushing piece 41 to push the second pushing piece 42 to extrude the elastic member 20 and make the elastic member 20 generate a smaller first elastic deformation, and the to-be-compressed pipe section 2a of the pipe member 2 is deformed smaller under the extrusion of the smaller first elastic deformation of the elastic member 20, so as to achieve the purpose of necking. By designing the adjusting cylinder seat 43, by changing the position of the adjusting cylinder seat 43 relative to the driving end of the driving member 30 along the direction of the hole axis of the mounting through hole 12a, and adjusting the adjusting cylinder seat 43 to be higher than the above-mentioned preset position, the driving end of the driving member 30 drives the adjusting cylinder seat 43 to push the second pushing piece 42 to extrude the elastic member 20 and make the elastic member 20 generate a larger second elastic deformation, and the to-be-compressed pipe section 2a of the pipe member 2 is deformed larger under the extrusion of the larger second elastic deformation of the elastic member 20, so as to achieve the purpose of necking.

[0073] As shown in Figures 3-12 The driving member 30 includes an oil cylinder 31 mounted on the rack 10, the pushing column of the oil cylinder 31 serves as the driving end of the driving member 30, and the pushing column of the oil cylinder 31 moves in extension along the direction of the hole axis of the mounting through hole 12a, and the adjusting cylinder seat 43 is threadedly connected with the pushing column of the oil cylinder 31. By designing the driving member 30 as the oil cylinder 31, and threadedly connecting the adjusting cylinder seat 43 with the pushing column of the oil cylinder 31, the position of the adjusting cylinder seat 43 relative to the pushing column of the oil cylinder 31 along the direction of the hole axis of the mounting through hole 12a can be adjusted by rotating the adjusting cylinder seat 43, which is simple in structure and convenient to operate. By designing the driving member 30 as the oil cylinder 31, when the adjusting cylinder seat 43 is adjusted to be lower than the above-mentioned preset position, the pushing column of the oil cylinder 31 moves in extension along the direction of the hole axis of the mounting through hole 12a to drive the first pushing piece 41 to push the second pushing piece 42 to extrude the elastic member 20 and make the elastic member 20 generate a smaller first elastic deformation, and the to-be-compressed pipe section 2a of the pipe member 2 is deformed smaller under the extrusion of the smaller first elastic deformation of the elastic member 20, so as to achieve the purpose of necking. By designing the driving member 30 as the oil cylinder 31, when the adjusting cylinder seat 43 is adjusted to be higher than the above-mentioned preset position, the pushing column of the oil cylinder 31 moves in extension along the direction of the hole axis of the mounting through hole 12a to drive the adjusting cylinder seat 43 to push the second pushing piece 42 to extrude the elastic member 20 and make the elastic member 20 generate a larger second elastic deformation, and the to-be-compressed pipe section 2a of the pipe member 2 is deformed larger under the extrusion of the larger second elastic deformation of the elastic member 20, so as to achieve the purpose of necking.

[0074] As shown in Figures 3-12As shown, the outer side wall surface of the adjusting cylinder seat 43 is provided with a clamping position 43a for interfacing with an external component to allow the adjusting cylinder seat 43 to be adjusted in position along the direction of the hole axis of the mounting through hole 12a under the action of the external component relative to the push rod of the oil cylinder 31.

[0075] The clamping position 43a is a structure of the adjusting cylinder seat 43 for interfacing with an external component; the external component can be but is not limited to a wrench or other tool. For example, the clamping position 43a can be but is not limited to a virtual structure such as a bayonet formed on the outer side wall surface of the adjusting cylinder seat 43, at this time the wrench interfaces with the bayonet, and the adjusting cylinder seat 43 can be rotated under the action of the wrench relative to the push rod of the oil cylinder 31 to change the position of the adjusting cylinder seat 43 along the direction of the hole axis of the mounting through hole 12a relative to the push rod of the oil cylinder 31. For another example, the clamping position 43a can also be but is not limited to a solid structure such as a clamping block provided on the outer side wall surface of the adjusting cylinder seat 43, at this time the wrench interfaces with the clamping block, and the adjusting cylinder seat 43 can be rotated under the action of the wrench relative to the push rod of the oil cylinder 31 to change the position of the adjusting cylinder seat 43 along the direction of the hole axis of the mounting through hole 12a relative to the push rod of the oil cylinder 31.

[0076] By designing the clamping position 43a on the outer side wall surface of the adjusting cylinder seat 43 for interfacing with an external component, the operator can rotate the adjusting cylinder seat 43 by means of the external component to change the position of the adjusting cylinder seat 43 along the direction of the hole axis of the mounting through hole 12a relative to the push rod of the oil cylinder 31, so as to facilitate the rotation of the adjusting cylinder seat 43 and make the overall operation more convenient.

[0077] For example, Figures 3-12As shown, the end face of the second pushing piece 42 away from the side of the mounting hole 12a is provided with a groove 42a, and the end of the first pushing piece 41 close to the mounting hole 12a extends into the groove 42a; when the adjusting barrel 43 is adjusted to be lower than the preset position along the direction of the hole axis of the mounting hole 12a relative to the driving end of the driving piece 30, the end face of the first pushing piece 41 facing the side of the mounting hole 12a abuts against the groove bottom face of the groove 42a; when the adjusting barrel 43 is adjusted to be higher than the preset position along the direction of the hole axis of the mounting hole 12a relative to the driving end of the driving piece 30, the end face of the adjusting barrel 43 facing the side of the mounting hole 12a abuts against the end face of the second pushing piece 42 away from the side of the mounting hole 12a. In this design, by designing the groove 42a on the end face of the second pushing piece 42 away from the side of the mounting hole 12a, when the adjusting barrel 43 is adjusted to be lower than the preset position along the direction of the hole axis of the mounting hole 12a relative to the driving end of the driving piece 30, the end face of the first pushing piece 41 facing the side of the mounting hole 12a abuts against the groove bottom face of the groove 42a, so that the first pushing piece 41 can effectively transmit force to the second pushing piece 42. By designing the groove 42a on the end face of the second pushing piece 42 away from the side of the mounting hole 12a, when the adjusting barrel 43 is adjusted to be higher than the preset position along the direction of the hole axis of the mounting hole 12a relative to the driving end of the driving piece 30, the end face of the adjusting barrel 43 facing the side of the mounting hole 12a abuts against the end face of the second pushing piece 42 away from the side of the mounting hole 12a, so that the adjusting barrel 43 can effectively transmit force to the second pushing piece 42.

[0078] As Figures 3-12As shown, one end of the second push member 42 close to the mounting through hole 12a extends into the mounting through hole 12a, and the outer side surface of the second push member 42 fits against the hole wall surface of the mounting through hole 12a; and / or, the end surface of the second push member 42 facing away from the mounting through hole 12a is provided with a groove 42a, and one end of the first push member 41 close to the mounting through hole 12a extends into the groove 42a, and the outer side surface of the first push member 41 fits against the groove side surface of the groove 42a; and / or, the outer side surface of the first push member 41 fits against the inner side surface of the adjustment cylinder seat 43. In this design, by designing the outer side surface of the second push member 42 to fit with the hole wall surface of the mounting through hole 12a, the second push member 42 can be limited to be offset radially relative to the frame 10 along the hole axis of the mounting through hole 12a, so as to ensure the stability of the second push member 42 moving in the direction of the hole axis of the mounting through hole 12a; and / or, by designing the outer side surface of the first push member 41 to fit with the groove side surface of the groove 42a, the second push member 42 can be limited to be offset radially relative to the first push member 41 (or the first push member 41 relative to the second push member 41). The push piece 42) is offset radially along the axis of the mounting hole 12a to ensure the stability of the movement of the first push piece 41 and the second push piece 42 along the direction of the axis of the mounting hole 12a; and / or, by designing the outer side surface of the first push piece 41 to fit with the inner side surface of the adjustment cylinder seat 43, the first push piece 41 can be limited to be offset radially relative to the adjustment cylinder seat 43 along the axis of the mounting hole 12a to ensure the stability of the movement of the first push piece 41 along the direction of the axis of the mounting hole 12a.

[0079] like Figures 13-14 As shown, the tube shrinking machine 1 also includes a first sensor 50 and a controller (not shown in the figure); the first sensor 50 is installed on the frame 10, and the first sensor 50 is configured to detect whether the driving end of the driving member 30 moves into place and generate a corresponding electrical signal; the controller is installed on the frame 10, and the controller is electrically connected to the first sensor 50 and the driving member 30, and the controller is configured to perform corresponding operations according to the electrical signal.

[0080] The first sensor 50 is used to detect whether the driving end of the driving member 30 is moved to the position. For example, the first sensor 50 can be, but is not limited to, a distance sensor. In this case, whether the driving end of the driving member 30 is moved to the position can be determined by sensing the distance between the driving end of the driving member 30 and the first sensor 50. If the first sensor 50 senses that the distance between the driving end of the driving member 30 and the first sensor 50 is zero or close, it indicates that the driving end of the driving member 30 has been moved to the position. Otherwise, if the first sensor 50 senses that the distance between the driving end of the driving member 30 and the first sensor 50 is far, it indicates that the driving end of the driving member 30 is not moved to the position. For another example, the first sensor 50 can be, but is not limited to, a Hall sensor. In this case, whether the driving end of the driving member 30 is moved to the position can be determined by sensing the magnetic field strength between the driving end of the driving member 30 (provided with a magnet) and the first sensor 50. If the first sensor 50 senses that the magnetic field strength between the driving end of the driving member 30 and the first sensor 50 is large, it indicates that the driving end of the driving member 30 has been moved to the position. Otherwise, if the first sensor 50 senses that the magnetic field strength between the driving end of the driving member 30 and the first sensor 50 is small, it indicates that the driving end of the driving member 30 is not moved to the position.

[0081] The specific connection mode between the first sensor 50 and the rack 10 is not limited here, and the designer can reasonably design according to the actual needs. For example, the first sensor 50 can be, but is not limited to, detachably connected with the rack 10 by at least one of screwing, clamping or inserting. For another example, the first sensor 50 can be, but is not limited to, non-detachably connected with the rack 10 by gluing.

[0082] The controller is the control center of the pipe shrinking machine 1, and the controller can be, but is not limited to, an MCU (Microcontroller Unit). The specific connection mode between the controller and the rack 10 is not limited here, and the designer can reasonably design according to the actual needs. For example, the controller can be, but is not limited to, detachably connected with the rack 10 by at least one of screwing, clamping or inserting. For another example, the controller can be, but is not limited to, non-detachably connected with the rack 10 by gluing or welding.

[0083] When the first sensor 50 detects that the driving end of the driving member 30 moves to the position, a first electric signal (one of the above-mentioned electric signals, for example, electric signal "1") is generated, and at this time, the controller controls the driving end of the driving member 30 to move away from the mounting hole 12a (i.e., the pushing rod of the oil hydraulic cylinder 31 is retracted) according to the first electric signal. When the first sensor 50 detects that the driving end of the driving member 30 does not move to the position, a second electric signal (the other of the above-mentioned electric signals, for example, electric signal "0") is generated, and at this time, the controller controls the driving end of the driving member 30 to continue to move towards the mounting hole 12a (i.e., the pushing rod of the oil hydraulic cylinder 31 is extended) until it moves to the position according to the second electric signal.

[0084] By designing the controller and the first sensor 50, the controller is electrically connected with the first sensor 50 and the driving member 30, and the controller can perform corresponding operations according to the electric signal generated by the first sensor 50, so as to realize the automatic control of the pipe reducing machine 1.

[0085] As shown in Figures 3-12 The rack 10 includes a bearing table 11 and a bearing member 12. The bearing table 11 has a fixing hole 11a, and the driving member 30 is installed on the bearing table 11. The bearing member 12 is connected with the bearing table 11 corresponding to the fixing hole 11a, and the bearing member 12 has a mounting hole 12a. The bearing member 12 is configured to be adjustable in position along the direction of the hole axis of the mounting hole 12a relative to the bearing table 11.

[0086] The bearing member 12 can be fixedly connected with the bearing table 11 by at least one of the following modes, such as screwing, clamping or inserting.

[0087] The bearing table 11 is used to bear the driving member 30 and other components. The bearing member 12 is adjustable in position along the direction of the hole axis of the mounting hole 12a relative to the bearing table 11. In the case that the movement stroke of the driving end of the driving member 30 along the direction of the hole axis of the mounting hole 12a towards the mounting hole 12a is unchanged, the size of the elastic deformation of the elastic member 20 is changed by adjusting the position of the bearing member 12 along the direction of the hole axis of the mounting hole 12a relative to the bearing table 11, so as to adapt to the pipe section 2a of the pipe 2 of different sizes for necking processing, and the applicability of the pipe reducing machine 1 is improved.

[0088] As shown in Figures 3-12As shown, the hole wall surface of the fixing hole 11a is provided with an internal thread, and the outer side surface of the bearing piece 12 is provided with an external thread, and the bearing piece 12 is connected with the bearing table 11 through the cooperation of the external thread and the internal thread. In other words, the bearing piece 12 is threadedly connected with the bearing table 11. In this design, the position of the bearing piece 12 relative to the bearing table 11 along the direction of the hole axis of the mounting through hole 12a can be adjusted by rotating the bearing piece 12, and the structure is simple and convenient to operate.

[0089] It is worth mentioning that, on the basis of adjusting the position of the adjusting cylinder seat 43 relative to the driving end of the driving piece 30 along the direction of the hole axis of the mounting through hole 12a, the position of the bearing piece 12 relative to the bearing table 11 along the direction of the hole axis of the mounting through hole 12a is designed to be adjustable; when the adjusting cylinder seat 43 is adjusted to be lower than the above-mentioned preset position, the size of the elastic deformation of the elastic piece 20 can be changed by separately adjusting the position of the bearing piece 12 relative to the bearing table 11 along the direction of the hole axis of the mounting through hole 12a, so as to adapt to the necking processing of the to-be-compressed pipe section 2a of the pipe 2 of different sizes, and the applicability of the pipe shrinking machine 1 is improved; when the adjusting cylinder seat 43 is adjusted to be higher than the above-mentioned preset position, the size of the elastic deformation of the elastic piece 20 can be changed by adjusting the position of the bearing piece 12 relative to the bearing table 11 along the direction of the hole axis of the mounting through hole 12a and / or adjusting the position of the adjusting cylinder seat 43 relative to the driving end of the driving piece 30 along the direction of the hole axis of the mounting through hole 12a, so as to adapt to the necking processing of the to-be-compressed pipe section 2a of the pipe 2 of different sizes, and the applicability of the pipe shrinking machine 1 is improved.

[0090] As shown in the figure, Figure 13 The pipe shrinking machine 1 further comprises a second inductor 60, and the second inductor 60 is installed on the bearing table 11. The second inductor 60 is configured to detect whether the to-be-compressed pipe section 2a of the pipe 2 extends into the mounting through hole 12a.

[0091] The second sensor 60 is another detection element of the pipe shrinking machine 1, which is used to detect whether the to-be-compressed pipe section 2a of the pipe 2 extends into the mounting through hole 12a. For example, the second sensor 60 can be but is not limited to a pressure sensor, and in this case, whether the to-be-compressed pipe section 2a of the pipe 2 extends into the mounting through hole 12a can be determined by detecting the pressure. If the pressure detected by the second sensor 60 is zero, it indicates that the to-be-compressed pipe section 2a of the pipe 2 does not extend into the mounting through hole 12a, and vice versa, if the pressure detected by the second sensor 60 is large, it indicates that the to-be-compressed pipe section 2a of the pipe 2 has extended into the mounting through hole 12a. For another example, the second sensor 60 can be but is not limited to a distance sensor, and in this case, whether the to-be-compressed pipe section 2a of the pipe 2 extends into the mounting through hole 12a can be determined by sensing the distance between the pipe 2 and the second sensor 60. If the second sensor 60 senses that the distance between the pipe 2 and the second sensor 60 is zero or close (caused by the machining error of the pipe 2), it indicates that the to-be-compressed pipe section 2a of the pipe 2 has extended into the mounting through hole 12a, and vice versa, if the second sensor 60 senses that the distance between the pipe 2 and the second sensor 60 is far, it indicates that the to-be-compressed pipe section 2a of the pipe 2 does not extend into the mounting through hole 12a.

[0092] The specific connection mode between the second sensor 60 and the bearing table 11 is not limited here, and the designer can reasonably design according to the actual needs. For example, the second sensor 60 can be but is not limited to being detachably connected with the bearing table 11 by at least one of screwing, clamping or inserting. For another example, the second sensor 60 can be but is not limited to being non-detachably connected with the bearing table 11 by gluing. Of course, in other embodiments, the second sensor 60 can also be installed on the bearing 12 instead of the bearing table 11.

[0093] The second sensor 60 can be electrically connected with the controller. When the second sensor 60 detects that the to-be-compressed pipe section 2a of the pipe 2 extends into the mounting through hole 12a, a third electric signal (one of another electric signal different from the above-mentioned electric signal, for example, electric signal “1”) is generated, and in this case, the controller controls the driving end of the driving member 30 to move towards the mounting through hole 12a (i.e., the push column of the above-mentioned oil cylinder 31 performs a contraction movement) according to the third electric signal, so as to make the second pushing member 42 press the elastic member 20, and make the elastic member 20 generate elastic deformation to press the to-be-compressed pipe section 2a of the pipe 2. When the second sensor 60 detects that the to-be-compressed pipe section 2a of the pipe 2 does not extend into the mounting through hole 12a, a fourth electric signal (another electric signal different from the above-mentioned electric signal, for example, electric signal “0”) is generated, and in this case, the controller controls the driving end of the driving member 30 to remain stationary according to the fourth electric signal.

[0094] By designing the second sensor 60, the second sensor 60 is used to detect whether the to-be-compressed pipe section 2a of the pipe 2 extends into the mounting through hole 12a, so as to realize the automatic control of the pipe shrinking machine 1.

[0095] The working principle of the pipe shrinking machine 1 is introduced below by taking the pipe 2 as the front leg pipe of a child's car and the to-be-assembled part 3 as a wheel core nail, and the specific steps are as follows:

[0096] Step 1: insert the wheel core nail into the to-be-compressed pipe section 2a of the front leg pipe of the child's car through the inner plug, extend the wheel core nail, the inner plug and the to-be-compressed pipe section 2a of the front leg pipe of the child's car into the mounting through hole 12a, and trigger the start button;

[0097] Step 2: the second sensor 60 detects that the to-be-compressed pipe section 2a of the front leg pipe of the child's car has extended into the mounting through hole 12a and generates a third electric signal;

[0098] Step 3: the controller controls the push rod of the oil cylinder 31 to make an elongation movement along the direction of the hole axis of the mounting through hole 12a according to the third electric signal; if the adjusting cylinder seat 43 is lower than the preset position, the push rod of the oil cylinder 31 drives the first push piece 41 to push the second push piece 42 to extrude the elastic member 20, so that the elastic member 20 generates a first elastic deformation, and the to-be-compressed pipe section 2a of the front leg pipe of the child's car is deformed under the extrusion of the first elastic deformation of the elastic member 20, so as to position the wheel core nail on the front leg pipe of the child's car to form an assembled body; if the adjusting cylinder seat 43 is higher than the preset position, the push rod of the oil cylinder 31 drives the adjusting cylinder seat 43 to push the second push piece 42 to extrude the elastic member 20, so that the elastic member 20 generates a second elastic deformation, and the to-be-compressed pipe section 2a of the front leg pipe of the child's car is deformed under the extrusion of the second elastic deformation of the elastic member 20, so as to position the wheel core nail on the front leg pipe of the child's car to form an assembled body;

[0099] Step 4: the first sensor 50 detects that the push rod of the oil cylinder 31 has moved to the position and generates a first electric signal, and the controller controls the push rod of the oil cylinder 31 to make a contraction movement to the reset position along the direction of the hole axis of the mounting through hole 12a according to the first electric signal;
