Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bending and forming devices, specifically a bending and forming device for processing water pipe clips for water heaters. Background Technology
[0002] A water heater pipe clamp is a ring-shaped clamp made of metal or non-metal, typically used to connect and secure the inlet and outlet pipes of a water heater. The clamp ensures a tight and secure connection between the pipe and the water heater, preventing leaks caused by loose or detached pipes. Water heater pipe clamps come in various types and materials to accommodate pipes of different diameters and materials. Common clamp materials include metals (such as stainless steel) and plastics. Metal clamps generally have higher strength and corrosion resistance, making them suitable for water pipes that withstand high pressure over long periods.
[0003] Traditional bending processes mostly involve manual bending using hand pliers. However, due to the small size of the water heater pipe clips, manual operation is inconvenient, and the bending accuracy cannot be guaranteed. Some mechanical bending equipment lacks an alternating feeding mechanism, which means that manual feeding is still required during bending. Although this saves some manpower, bending one by one still results in low efficiency and affects the practicality of the bending equipment. Utility Model Content
[0004] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, traditional bending processes mostly rely on manual bending using hand pliers. However, due to the small size of water heater pipe clips, manual operation is inconvenient, and the bending accuracy cannot be guaranteed. Some mechanical bending equipment lacks an alternating feeding mechanism for assistance, requiring manual feeding of individual clips during bending. Although this saves some manpower, bending each clip individually still results in low efficiency and affects the practicality of the bending equipment. This utility model proposes a bending and forming device for processing water heater pipe clips.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a bending and forming device for processing water pipe clips for water heaters, including a base plate, a heightening plate fixedly connected to one side of the base plate, a first support plate fixedly connected to one side of the base plate, a stamping mechanism provided on one side of the first support plate, and an alternating feeding mechanism provided on one side of the first support plate.
[0006] The alternating feeding mechanism includes a first slide rail, one side of which is fixedly connected to one side of a first support plate. A first feeding tray is slidably connected to the surface of the first slide rail. A trackless cylinder is fixedly installed on one side of the first support plate. A connecting plate is fixedly connected to one side of the trackless cylinder. One side of the connecting plate is fixedly connected to one side of the first feeding tray. A second support plate is fixedly connected to one side of the base plate. A second slide rail is fixedly connected to one side of the second support plate. A sliding plate is slidably connected to the surface of the second slide rail. A guide rod is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the sliding plate. One end of the guide rod is fixedly connected to the second feeding tray. A roller is rotatably connected to one side of the first support plate. A transmission belt is movably sleeved on the surface of the roller. A first fixing block is fixedly connected to one side of the first feeding tray. The inner cavity of the first fixing block is fixedly connected to the surface of the transmission belt. A second fixing block is fixedly connected to one side of the sliding plate. The inner cavity of the second fixing block is fixedly connected to the surface of the transmission belt.
[0007] Preferably, a tensioning wheel is rotatably connected to one side of the first support plate, and the surface of the tensioning wheel is in contact with the surface of the transmission belt.
[0008] Preferably, a guide plate is fixedly connected to one side of the base plate, and a guide groove is formed on the surface of the guide plate.
[0009] Preferably, a transmission plate is fixedly connected to one side of the slide plate, and a cam is fixedly connected to one side of the transmission plate, with the surface of the cam slidably connected to the inner wall of the guide groove.
[0010] Preferably, a mold base is fixedly connected to one side of the first feeding tray and one side of the second feeding tray, and a forming groove is provided on one side of the mold base.
[0011] Preferably, the stamping mechanism includes a bracket, one side of which is fixedly connected to one side of the first support plate, and a telescopic cylinder is fixedly installed on one side of the bracket, with the output end of the telescopic cylinder fixedly connected to the stamping plate.
[0012] Preferably, a third slide rail is fixedly connected to one side of the bracket, and the inner cavity of the stamping plate is slidably connected to the surface of the third slide rail.
[0013] The advantages of this utility model are:
[0014] This invention utilizes the movement of the first feeding disc to drive the transmission belt to rotate along the surface of the rollers. The sliding plate can slide along the second slide rail above the second support plate. The sliding plate is fixedly connected to the transmission belt by the second fixing block. The sliding plate and the first feeding disc are located on one side of the transmission belt and are staggered. Thus, the rotating transmission belt can drive the sliding plate and the first feeding disc to move alternately, achieving the effect of alternating feeding. This solves the problem that traditional bending processes mostly rely on manual bending with hand pliers. However, due to the small size of the water heater pipe clips, manual operation is inconvenient, and the bending accuracy is difficult to guarantee. Some mechanically bendable equipment lacks an alternating feeding mechanism for assistance, resulting in the need for manual feeding during bending. Although this saves some manpower, bending one by one still leads to low efficiency and affects the practicality of the bending equipment. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-5 This application will be described in further detail.
[0024] This application discloses a bending and forming device for processing water pipe clips for water heaters. (Refer to...) Figures 1 to 4 A bending and forming device for processing water pipe clips for water heaters includes a base plate 1, an extension plate 2 fixedly connected to one side of the base plate 1, a first support plate 3 fixedly connected to one side of the base plate 1, a stamping mechanism 4 provided on one side of the first support plate 3, and an alternating feeding mechanism 5 provided on one side of the first support plate 3.
[0025] The alternating feeding mechanism 5 includes a first slide rail 501, one side of which is fixedly connected to one side of the first support plate 3. A first feeding tray 502 is slidably connected to the surface of the first slide rail 501. A trackless cylinder 503 is fixedly installed on one side of the first support plate 3. A connecting plate 504 is fixedly connected to one side of the trackless cylinder 503. One side of the connecting plate 504 is fixedly connected to one side of the first feeding tray 502. A second support plate 6 is fixedly connected to one side of the base plate 1. A second slide rail 505 is fixedly connected to one side of the second support plate 6. A slide plate 506 is slidably connected to the surface of the second slide rail 505. A guide rod is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the slide plate 506. 507, a second feeding plate 508 is fixedly connected to one end of the guide rod 507, a roller 509 is rotatably connected to one side of the first support plate 3, and a transmission belt 510 is movably sleeved on the surface of the roller 509, a first fixing block 511 is fixedly connected to one side of the first feeding plate 502, and the inner cavity of the first fixing block 511 is fixedly connected to the surface of the transmission belt 510, a second fixing block 512 is fixedly connected to one side of the slide plate 506, and the inner cavity of the second fixing block 512 is fixedly connected to the surface of the transmission belt 510, a mold base 12 is fixedly connected to one side of both the first feeding plate 502 and the second feeding plate 508, and a forming groove 1 is opened on one side of the mold base 12. 3. In the bending and forming device for processing the water pipe clips of this water heater, the base plate 1 and the raising plate 2 play a major supporting role. The first feeding plate 502 in the alternating feeding mechanism 5 can slide along the first slide rail 501 above the first support plate 3. The trackless cylinder 503 is fixedly connected to the first feeding plate 502 through the connecting plate 504. The trackless cylinder 503 can drive the first feeding plate 502 to slide. The first feeding plate 502 is fixedly connected to the transmission belt 510 through the first fixing block 511, so that when the first feeding plate 502 moves, it drives the transmission belt 510 to rotate along the surface of the roller 509. The slide plate 506 can slide along the second slide rail 501 above the second support plate 6. 05 Sliding, the slide plate 506 is fixedly connected to the transmission belt 510 through the second fixing block 512. The slide plate 506 and the first feeding plate 502 are located on one side of the transmission belt 510 and are staggered. Thus, the rotating transmission belt 510 can drive the slide plate 506 and the first feeding plate 502 to move alternately. The second feeding plate 508 is slidably connected to the slide plate 506 through the guide rod 507. The second feeding plate 508 can be raised and lowered along the slide plate 506 through the guide rod 507, so as to avoid collision when the second feeding plate 508 and the first feeding plate 502 alternately feed materials, so as to realize the alternating feeding of the metal water heater pipe buckle element in the mold base 12.
[0026] Reference Figure 4 A tensioning wheel 7 is rotatably connected to one side of the first support plate 3. The surface of the tensioning wheel 7 is in contact with the surface of the transmission belt 510. Through the tensioning wheel 7, the transmission belt 510 rotates along the roller 509 while its surface moves along the surface of the tensioning wheel 7, thereby increasing the tension of the transmission belt 510.
[0027] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 A guide plate 8 is fixedly connected to one side of the base plate 1. A guide groove 9 is opened on the surface of the guide plate 8. A transmission plate 10 is fixedly connected to one side of the slide plate 506. A cam 11 is fixedly connected to one side of the transmission plate 10. The surface of the cam 11 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the guide groove 9. Through the guide plate 8, the guide groove 9 on the surface of the guide plate 8 is opened in a V shape. The two ends of the guide groove 9 are the highest points of the second feeding plate 508. When the slide plate 506 slides to the second slide rail 505, the cam 11 slides along the inner wall of the guide groove 9. When the cam 11 slides, it causes the second feeding plate 508 to rise and fall along the slide plate 506 through the transmission plate 10. The middle part of the second slide rail 505 is the lowest point, which is also the position where the second feeding plate 508 and the first feeding plate 502 alternate, so as to guide the second feeding plate 508 and avoid collision between the second feeding plate 508 and the first feeding plate 502 as much as possible.
[0028] Reference Figure 1 The stamping mechanism 4 includes a bracket 401. One side of the bracket 401 is fixedly connected to one side of the first support plate 3. A telescopic cylinder 402 is fixedly installed on one side of the bracket 401. The output end of the telescopic cylinder 402 is fixedly connected to a stamping plate 403. Through the stamping mechanism 4, the bracket 401 plays a major supporting role. The telescopic cylinder 402 can push the stamping plate 403 to press the metal water heater pipe buckle element in the forming groove 13 into shape.
[0029] Reference Figure 1 A third slide rail 14 is fixedly connected to one side of the bracket 401. The inner cavity of the stamping plate 403 is slidably connected to the surface of the third slide rail 14. Through the third slide rail 14, the stamping plate 403 moves along the third slide rail 14 while the telescopic cylinder 402 moves, thereby improving stability.
[0030] Working principle: The base plate 1 and the raising plate 2 provide the main support. The first feeding plate 502 in the alternating feeding mechanism 5 can slide along the first slide rail 501 above the first support plate 3. The trackless cylinder 503 is fixedly connected to the first feeding plate 502 through the connecting plate 504. The trackless cylinder 503 can drive the first feeding plate 502 to slide. The first feeding plate 502 is fixedly connected to the transmission belt 510 through the first fixing block 511, so that when the first feeding plate 502 moves, it drives the transmission belt 510 to rotate along the surface of the roller 509. The slide plate 506 can slide along the second slide rail 505 above the second support plate 6. The slide plate 506 is fixedly connected to the transmission belt 510 through the second fixing block 512. The slide plate 506 and the first feeding plate 502 are located on one side of the transmission belt 510 and are staggered. Thus, the rotating transmission belt 510 can drive the slide plate 506 and the first feeding plate 502 to slide along the second slide rail 505 above the second support plate 6. The feeding tray 502 moves alternately, and the second feeding tray 508 is slidably connected to the slide plate 506 through the guide rod 507. The guide groove 9 on the surface of the guide plate 8 is V-shaped. The two ends of the guide groove 9 are the highest points of the second feeding tray 508. When the slide plate 506 slides to the second slide rail 505, the cam 11 slides along the inner wall of the guide groove 9. When the cam 11 slides, it causes the second feeding tray 508 to rise and fall along the slide plate 506 through the transmission plate 10. The middle part of the second slide rail 505 is the lowest point, which is also the position where the second feeding tray 508 and the first feeding tray 502 alternate, so as to guide the second feeding tray 508 and avoid collision between the second feeding tray 508 and the first feeding tray 502 as much as possible. This avoids collision when the second feeding tray 508 and the first feeding tray 502 alternately feed materials, so as to realize the alternating feeding of the metal water heater pipe buckle element in the mold base 12.
[0031] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
