Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipe crimping machine technology, and in particular to an automatic shaping and crimping machine. Background Technology

[0002] Automatic forming and crimping machines are specialized mechanical equipment for processing metal pipes. These machines are highly efficient, precise, and easy to operate, and are widely used in various industries such as construction, piping, refrigeration, and electrical appliances. By using automatic forming and crimping machines, production efficiency can be greatly improved, labor intensity can be reduced, and the processed pipes can be guaranteed to have excellent quality and precision.

[0003] Currently, existing automatic shaping and crimping machines lack full automation and intelligent integration, and cannot achieve seamless connection from initial conveying and baking preheating to continuous stamping and shaping, resulting in relatively low production efficiency and difficulty in fully guaranteeing the stability and consistency of product quality. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as the inability to achieve full automation and intelligent integration, resulting in relatively low production efficiency and unstable product quality and consistency. Therefore, an automatic shaping and crimping machine is proposed.

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] Automatic shaping and crimping machine, including:

[0007] The first box has conveyor device one and conveyor device two fixedly installed on its top from left to right;

[0008] The second box has a frame fixedly installed on its top and a support plate fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the frame.

[0009] A baking mechanism is installed on the second conveyor and is used to bake the heat-conducting copper tubes.

[0010] The push component is mounted on the support plate and is used to push the heat-conducting copper tube through three stampings.

[0011] In one possible design, the baking mechanism includes a UV lamp box hinged to the top of the conveyor device two. The top of the UV lamp box is embedded with a plurality of evenly distributed UV lamp tubes. A handle is fixedly provided on one side of the UV lamp box. The UV lamp box is locked to the conveyor device two by a snap fastener.

[0012] In one possible design, the pushing assembly includes three lower molds fixedly mounted on the top of a support plate. Two fixing plates are fixedly mounted on the top of the support plate on both sides of the three lower molds. A guide rail is fixedly mounted on the top of each of the two fixing plates. A common pushing frame is slidably mounted on the top of the two guide rails. The bottom wall of the pushing frame is in contact with the lower molds. An electric push rod is fixedly mounted on the top of each of the two fixing plates. The output ends of the two electric push rods are fixedly connected to the two sides of the pushing frame, respectively.

[0013] In one possible design, three hydraulic cylinders are fixedly mounted on the top of the frame, and guide rods are slidably mounted around each hydraulic cylinder on the top of the frame. The bottom of the four guide rods around the same hydraulic cylinder is fixedly mounted with the same upper mold. The output ends of the three hydraulic cylinders are fixedly connected to the three upper molds respectively, and the positions of the three upper molds correspond to the three lower molds.

[0014] In one possible design, a moving device 1 is fixedly installed on one side of the top of the conveying device 1, and a robotic arm 1 is fixedly installed at a movable part of the top of the moving device 1. A moving device 2 is fixedly installed on one side of the frame, and a robotic arm 2 is fixedly installed at a movable part of the bottom of the moving device 2. A moving device 3 is fixedly installed on the other side of the frame, and a robotic arm 3 is fixedly installed at a movable part of one side of the moving device 3. A material collection frame is fixedly installed on the top of the second box near the robotic arm 3.

[0015] In one possible design, both the first and second boxes have multiple omnidirectional brake wheels fixedly installed in a rectangular shape at their bottoms, and both boxes also have multiple adjustable support legs fixedly installed in a rectangular shape at their bottoms.

[0016] In this application, when it is first used, the two boxes are moved by the universal brake wheels at the bottom of the first box and the second box, so that they are brought close together and assembled into a production line. Then, the universal brake wheels are locked by their own locking function. Then, the adjustable support legs are adjusted so that the adjustable support legs are against the ground to complete the support of the first box and the second box.

[0017] The heat-conducting copper tube is then placed on conveying device one, which is responsible for initially conveying the heat-conducting copper tube from left to right. When the heat-conducting copper tube is conveyed to the predetermined position, moving device one is activated. Moving device one drives robot one to move to the appropriate position. Then, robot one precisely grabs the heat-conducting copper tube. After robot one grabs the heat-conducting copper tube from conveying device one, it is moved by moving device one to the appropriate position. Then, robot one places it on conveying device two.

[0018] Then, the baking mechanism on conveyor two is activated, and the heat-conducting copper tube is conveyed by conveyor two into the UV lamp box. Multiple UV lamps in the UV lamp box bake the heat-conducting copper tube. This process can reduce the probability of defective products in the subsequent hot extrusion process, while making the surface of the copper tube smoother and more beautiful, and improving its corrosion resistance. After baking, the heat-conducting copper tube is softened for a short time, preparing it for subsequent stamping and shaping. Conveyor two conveys the baked heat-conducting copper tube out of the UV lamp box. Then, moving device two moves and drives robot two to move above the baked heat-conducting copper tube and grab it. After being grabbed, robot two is again moved by moving device two to the predetermined position, and then the heat-conducting copper tube is placed in the first of the three stamping processes, that is, on the first lower die. At this time, the corresponding hydraulic cylinder is activated, pushing the upper die to perform the first stamping and shaping of the heat-conducting copper tube. After the first stamping is completed, the pushing component is activated. At this time, the two electric push rods simultaneously... When the system starts, the output ends of the two electric push rods retract, causing the pusher frame to move along the guide rail towards the second lower die. Simultaneously, the pusher frame moves the heat-conducting copper tube, which has undergone the first stamping, from the first lower die to the second. Then, the second hydraulic cylinder starts, performing a second stamping and shaping of the heat-conducting copper tube. After the second stamping, the pusher assembly starts again, pushing the heat-conducting copper tube to the third lower die according to the same principle. At this point, the third hydraulic cylinder starts, performing a final stamping and shaping of the heat-conducting copper tube. After the stamping and shaping is complete, the moving device three moves the robotic arm three above the third lower die, grabbing the stamped and shaped heat-conducting copper tube. The robotic arm three then moves to above the collection frame via the moving device three, placing the shaped heat-conducting copper tube into the collection frame, thus completing the entire workflow.

[0019] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] In this invention, the baking mechanism enables preheating of the heat-conducting copper tube, reducing the probability of defective products in the subsequent hot extrusion process. It also improves the smoothness, aesthetics, and corrosion resistance of the copper tube surface, thereby optimizing the production process and improving product quality.

[0021] In this invention, the automatic and continuous pushing of the heat-conducting copper tube in the three stamping processes is achieved by setting the pushing component. This not only improves production efficiency, but also ensures the accuracy and consistency of stamping and shaping, thereby saving labor costs and significantly improving production efficiency and product quality.

[0022] This invention achieves a fully automated production process for heat-conducting copper tubes, from initial conveying and preheating to continuous stamping and shaping, through the combination of conveying device one, conveying device two, baking mechanism and pushing component. This significantly improves production efficiency, ensures the stability and consistency of product quality, and demonstrates the advantages of high-level production automation and intelligence.

The UV lamp box 12 contains multiple evenly distributed UV lamp tubes 13 (model: GE F20BLB USA 60cm) for baking the heat-conducting copper tubes. A handle 14 is also fixedly mounted on one side of the UV lamp box 12 for easy opening and closing. At the same time, the UV lamp box 12 and the conveyor device 2 6 are locked together by a buckle to ensure stability during the baking process.

[0036] The pushing component is mounted on the support plate 17 and is used to push the heat-conducting copper tube to perform three stampings. The pushing component includes three lower dies 18, which are fixed to the top of the support plate 17. Two fixing plates 19 are fixed on both sides of the three lower dies 18 on the top of the support plate 17. Guide rails 20 are fixed on the top of the fixing plates 19.

Two electric push rods 22 are fixed on the top of the two fixing plates 19, and their output ends are fixedly connected to both sides of the pushing frame 21 to push the pushing frame 21 to slide on the guide rails 20, thereby driving the heat-conducting copper tube to move between the three lower dies 18.

[0037] Three hydraulic cylinders 15 are fixed to the top of the frame 7. Each hydraulic cylinder 15 has a guide rod sliding around it to guide the stroke of the upper die 16 and prevent deviation. The bottom of the four guide rods around the same hydraulic cylinder 15 is fixed to the same upper die 16 for stamping and shaping the heat-conducting copper tube. The output ends of the three hydraulic cylinders 15 are fixedly connected to the three upper dies 16 respectively to ensure the stability and accuracy of the stamping process. The positions of the three upper dies 16 and the three lower dies 18 correspond to achieve continuous stamping and shaping operations.
