[0029] Specific implementation method 1: Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 7 This embodiment describes a machine frame, a fixing mechanism, and a polishing mechanism. The fixing mechanism is used to fix the pipe, and the polishing mechanism is used to polish the pipe. The machine frame has a support structure, and the pipe is suitable for being placed on the support structure. The polishing mechanism includes a drive motor, a transmission shaft, and a polishing wheel. The drive motor is slidably mounted on the machine frame and slides along the axial direction of the pipe. The transmission shaft is connected to the drive end of the drive motor, and the polishing wheel is mounted on the end of the transmission shaft. The fixing mechanism includes a cylinder and a pressure plate. The cylinder is mounted on the machine frame, and the pressure plate is mounted on the telescopic rod of the cylinder. The pressure plate is pressed against the top of the pipe by the cylinder to fix the pipe.

[0030] In this embodiment of the pipe inner surface polishing equipment, the pipe is first placed on the support structure, the air cylinder is started to drive the pressure plate to squeeze the pipe, and then the drive motor is started. The drive motor drives the polishing wheel to polish the pipe through the transmission shaft. The fixed source is the air cylinder. The pressure of the air cylinder is smaller than that of the hydraulic cylinder, and the squeezing force is easier to control, thereby avoiding pipe deformation and ensuring product quality.

[0031] Specific Implementation Method Two: Combining Figure 1 , Figure 7 This embodiment differs from Specific Embodiment 1 in that the pressure plate and the telescopic rod of the air cylinder are detachably connected. This allows for quick replacement of the pressure plate if it is damaged, making subsequent maintenance more convenient. Of course, the above description is not limiting. As an alternative embodiment, the pressure plate can also be fixedly connected to the telescopic rod of the air cylinder, for example, by welding. Other components and connections are the same as in Specific Embodiment 1.

[0032] Specific implementation method three: Combining Figure 1 , Figure 7 This embodiment differs from Embodiment 2 in that the telescopic rod has through-hole slots on both sides. A snap-fit ​​component is connected to the pressure plate to mate with the slots. The snap-fit ​​component is fixed to the telescopic rod by bolts. The slots serve a positioning function, and the bolts tighten the two together. The slots primarily provide a fixing effect, while the bolts act as an auxiliary component to prevent the snap-fit ​​component from separating from the slots. Of course, the above description is not limiting. As an alternative embodiment, the snap-fit ​​component can be omitted, and threaded holes can be directly made on both the telescopic rod and the pressure plate, through which bolts are passed for connection. Other components and connections are the same as in Embodiment 2.

[0033] Specific implementation method four: Combination Figure 1 , Figure 7 This embodiment differs from specific embodiment three in that the slot is an inverted T-shaped slot with the opening facing upwards. The locking component includes a locking plate, a connecting rod, and a support plate. Two pressure plates are mounted on the support plate, spaced apart. The locking plate is inserted into the slot, and the connecting rod connects the locking plate and the support plate. The connecting rod can pass through the top of the slot, thereby reducing its length and improving its stability, thus enhancing the fixing effect of the pressure plate on the pipe. Of course, the above description is not limiting. As an alternative embodiment, the slot can also be a rectangular slot extending through both sides, and the connecting rod can be replaced with an L-shaped rod connecting the support plate and the locking plate. Other components and connections are the same as in specific embodiment three.

[0034] Specific Implementation Method Five: Combining Figure 1 , Figure 4This embodiment differs from specific embodiment one in that the pressure plate has a semi-circular groove for embedding the pipe. The pipe is pressed and fixed by the inner wall of the semi-circular groove. The contact area between the semi-circular groove and the pipe is larger, resulting in better pipe fixing. Of course, the above description is not limiting. As an alternative embodiment, the pressure plate may also have a rectangular groove into which the pipe is embedded for fixing. Other components and connections are the same as in specific embodiment one.

[0035] Specific Implementation Method Six: Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 This embodiment differs from specific embodiment one in that the frame has an axially extending track, on which a moving trolley is slidably mounted. The drive motor is fixed on the moving trolley, making the trolley more flexible and its movement accuracy lower than that of the drive motor moving along the guide rail, thus facilitating control. The above description is not limiting. As an alternative embodiment, the drive motor can be placed on an electromagnetic guide rail, and the slider of the electromagnetic guide rail can drive the drive motor to move. Other components and connections are the same as in specific embodiment one.

[0036] Specific implementation method seven: Combination Figure 1 , Figure 5 This embodiment differs from Specific Embodiment Six in that it further includes: two reinforcing wheels, arranged parallel to each other along the height direction. These two reinforcing wheels are rotatably mounted on the frame. A drive shaft passes between the two reinforcing wheels, with the axes of the two reinforcing wheels perpendicular to the axis of the drive shaft. When the drive motor moves the drive shaft, the reinforcing wheels support the drive shaft, making its rotation more stable and preventing wobbling, thus ensuring a good polishing effect on the inner surface of the pipe. Other components and connections are the same as in Specific Embodiment Six.

[0037] Specific implementation method eight: Combination Figure 1 This embodiment differs from specific embodiment one in that the support structure is a support wheel rotatably mounted on the frame. Multiple support wheels are spaced apart, and their axes are perpendicular to the axis of the pipe. When the pipe is placed on the support wheels, there is rolling contact between the pipe and the support wheels, resulting in less friction and reducing the likelihood of friction with the outer surface of the pipe. This ensures that the outer surface of the pipe is not scratched, leading to better product quality. Of course, the above description is not limiting. As an alternative embodiment, the support structure can also be an arc-shaped block fixedly mounted on the frame, with the pipe embedded inside the arc-shaped block. Other components and connections are the same as in any of specific embodiments one through seven.

[0038] Specific Implementation Method Nine: Combining Figure 1This embodiment differs from specific embodiment one in that it further includes a dust collection cloth, which is fitted onto the end of the pipe furthest from the polishing wheel. The dust collection cloth can be connected to a fan, which provides power to collect the dust generated during polishing inside the pipe, making the working environment more hygienic and beneficial to the health of the workers. Other components and connections are the same as in any one of specific embodiments one through seven.

[0039] Specific Implementation Method Ten: Combining Figure 2 , Figure 3 This embodiment differs from specific embodiment nine in that it has a movable, height-adjustable clamping block connected to the frame. The clamping block presses against the dust collection cloth to secure it. Specifically, a threaded rod is connected to the clamping block, threaded to the frame. Rotating the threaded rod allows the clamping block to rise and fall, thus securing the dust collection cloth firmly to the pipe. Of course, the above description is not limiting. As an alternative embodiment, a ring composed of two detachably connected semi-rings can be fitted over the outside of the dust collection cloth to secure it. Other components and connections are the same as in specific embodiment nine.

[0040] The working principle of this implementation method is as follows:

[0041] First, place the pipe to be polished on multiple support wheels. Then, start the air cylinder, which moves the pressure plate downward and presses it against the top of the pipe to fix it in place. Start the drive motor, which drives the transmission shaft to rotate. The transmission shaft drives the polishing wheel to rotate and, driven by the moving carriage, extends into the pipe for polishing.

[0042] The content of this utility model is not limited to the above-described embodiments; a combination of one or more specific embodiments can also achieve the purpose of the utility model.
