Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tube shrinking processing technology, specifically a high-speed tube shrinking machine feeding device with adjustable feeding speed. Background Technology
[0002] A pipe shrinking machine is used to expand and shrink pipe ends under normal conditions. Pipe shrinking is a forming process that reduces the diameter of the pipe blank's end. The pipe blank enters the deformation zone under axial force, where it undergoes tangential shrinkage plastic deformation. It then enters the stabilization zone, ultimately forming a reduced end diameter. Pipe shrinking machines are widely used for processing and forming pipe joints, automotive oil pipes, air ducts, water pipes, air conditioning pipes, and other connection parts, making them ideal pipe end forming equipment. When expanding or shrinking pipes, the pipe needs to be transported to the placement table via a feeding device.
[0003] However, most existing pipes are stacked together, requiring manual intervention to place each pipe on the platform. Furthermore, some conveying devices cannot quickly adjust for different pipe specifications when conveying pipes. Therefore, they do not meet the current needs. To address this, we propose a high-speed pipe shrinking machine feeding device with adjustable feeding speed. Utility Model Content
