Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipe forming, and in particular to a ring clamp double-seal integrated forming mold. Background Technology
[0002] Ring-clamp sealing fittings are a connection method for thin-walled metal pipes. Combining the special structure of thin-walled metal pipes, they are suitable for socket-type (ring-clamp sealing) fittings with both elastic and filling sealing sections. This connection method adds a ring-shaped filling sealing compression method to the traditional extrusion connection, thus simultaneously providing both elastic and filling seals, improving the sealing performance and vibration resistance of the connection. Ring-clamp sealing fittings include a ring-compression sealing section (ring-shaped convex ring) and a clamping sealing section. Currently, the ring-compression and clamping sealing sections can only be formed manually through separate processing and expansion. This forming method has the following drawbacks: 1) Separate processing is not only very cumbersome and resource-intensive, but also extremely inefficient; 2) The ring-shaped convex ring formed by manual expansion often exhibits quality problems such as uneven texture and insufficient surface smoothness, thus affecting the overall quality of the ring-clamp sealing fitting. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a forming mold that can integrally form the ring-compression and clamping sealing sections and improve the quality of the fitting. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0028] The following will refer to the appendix in the embodiments of this utility model. Figure 1-9 The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model are clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0029] This utility model provides a technical solution: a ring-type double-seal integrated molding die, including a lower die base 1, a lower die 2 fixed on the lower die base 1, an upper die base 3, and an upper die 4 fixed on the upper die base 3. The lower die 2 is provided with a lower cavity 5, and the upper die 4 is provided with an upper cavity 6 that matches the lower cavity 5. Punch mechanisms 7 are provided on both the left and right sides of the lower cavity 5. The punch mechanism 7 includes a movable seat 8 provided on the side of the lower die 2. The movable seat 8 has a groove 9. A punch 10 is fixed, and a through hole 11 is opened at the center of the punch 10. A water inlet passage 12 connected to the through hole 11 is opened in the groove 9. The water inlet 13 of the water inlet passage 12 is set on the movable seat 8. Two lower cavities 5 are set on the lower mold 2. The lower cavity 5 includes a water expansion cavity 28 and a clamping cavity 29. Oil cylinders are set on the top surface of the upper mold seat 3 and the outer surface of the movable seat 8. The water inlet 13 is connected to the water expansion machine. During operation, the straight cylindrical pipe is first placed in the lower cavity 5. Then, the hydraulic cylinders on the movable seats 8 on both sides of the pipe are activated simultaneously, pushing the movable seats 8 towards the pipe until the punches 10 on both sides of the pipe press against and seal the two ends of the pipe. This not only seals the two ends of the pipe but also positions and fixes it. Then, the hydraulic cylinder on the upper mold seat 3 is activated to push the upper mold 4 downward until the upper mold 4 and the lower mold 2 are closed. That is, the upper mold 4 is pressed onto the lower mold 2. The process of the upper mold 4 and the lower mold 2 closing is also a process of clamping the pipe. The clamping cavity 29 forms a clamping sealing section on the pipe. Then, the water expansion machine is activated to fill the pipe with water pressure, expanding the pipe part corresponding to the water expansion cavity 28 to form a ring-pressure sealing section. Water from the water-expanding machine enters the pipe fitting sequentially through inlet 13, inlet passage 12, and through hole 11. The shape of the water-expanding cavity 28 is half of an annular convex ring. The annular convex ring of the pipe fitting is formed by water expansion, greatly improving the smoothness and fluidity of the annular convex ring surface, thereby improving the overall quality of the ring-clamp sealing pipe fitting. The mold in this invention can integrally form the clamping sealing section and the ring-clamping sealing section of the pipe fitting. The ring-clamping sealing section is formed by water expansion, which not only improves the quality of pipe fitting formation but also greatly increases the efficiency of pipe fitting formation. It should be noted that the lower cavity 5 and the upper cavity 6 can be made into straight-through, tee, or elbow types according to specific needs.
[0030] The punch 10 includes a connector 14, a first connecting part 15 fixed to the connector 14, a second connecting part 16 fixed to the first connecting part 15, and a third connecting part 17 fixed to the second connecting part 16. The outer diameter of the third connecting part 17 is larger than the outer diameter of the second connecting part 16, and the outer diameter of the second connecting part 16 is larger than the outer diameter of the first connecting part 15. The connector 14 is designed to facilitate the insertion of the punch 10 into the pipe to seal the pipe. To ensure sealing, a sealing ring can be provided at the junction of the connector 14 and the first connecting part 15.
[0031] A connecting seat 18 is fixed on the movable seat 8. The connecting seat 18 is provided with a limiting hole 19. The limiting hole 19 includes a first part 20 and a second part 21. The diameter of the first part 20 is equal to the outer diameter of the third connecting part 17, and the diameter of the second part 21 is equal to the outer diameter of the second connecting part 16. The inner diameter of the groove 9 is equal to the outer diameter of the third connecting part 17, and the height of the groove 9 plus the height of the first part 20 is equal to the height of the third connecting part 17. Therefore, the setting of the groove 9, the first part 20, the second part 21, the second connecting part 16, and the third connecting part 17 effectively limits and fixes the punch 10, and also facilitates the installation and replacement of the punch 10.
[0032] The groove 9, punch 10 and connecting seat 18 are provided in two sets on the movable seat 8, so that two pipe fittings can be formed at one time, improving the efficiency of pipe fitting forming. In addition, depending on the specific situation, the groove 9, punch 10 and connecting seat 18 can also be provided in three, four or five sets on the movable seat 8.
[0033] The connector 14 includes a first frustum 22, which is smaller at the end near the lower mold 2 and larger at the end away from the lower mold 2. A first fixing part 23 is fixed to the end of the first frustum 22 away from the lower mold 2. A first cylindrical part 24 is fixed to the first fixing part 23. A second frustum 25 is fixed to the first cylindrical part 24. A second fixing part 26 is fixed to the second frustum 25. A second cylindrical part 27 is fixed to the second fixing part 26. This arrangement facilitates the insertion of the punch into the pipe fitting. The diameter of the second cylindrical part 27 is smaller than the diameter of the first connecting part 15, thus forming a step at the junction of the second cylindrical part 27 and the first connecting part 15. This step is used to fix the sealing ring, which greatly improves the sealing performance of the pipe end, thereby enhancing the water expansion effect.
[0034] The outer wall of the first fixing part 23 is set with an obtuse angle, and the side wall of the second fixing part 26 is set with an arc-shaped surface, and the end of the arc-shaped surface that connects to the second frustum part 25 is lower than the end that connects to the second cylindrical part 27.
[0035] There are two water-expanding cavities 28, namely the first water-expanding cavity 30 and the second water-expanding cavity 31, and three compression cavities 29, namely the first compression cavity 32, the second compression cavity 33 and the third compression cavity 34. The first compression cavity 32 is connected to the first water-expanding cavity 30, the first water-expanding cavity 30 is connected to the second compression cavity 33, the second compression cavity 33 is connected to the second water-expanding cavity 31, and the second water-expanding cavity 31 is connected to the third compression cavity 34. With this configuration, the formed pipe fitting will have three compression sealing sections and two ring compression sealing sections, and the compression sealing sections and ring compression sealing sections are alternately arranged, which greatly improves the sealing performance of the formed pipe fitting.
[0036] The water-expanded cavity 28 is a semi-annular groove. When the upper mold 4 and the lower mold 2 are closed, an annular groove will be formed. After the pipe is water-expanded, it will fill the annular groove and form an annular convex ring.
[0037] Working principle: During operation, the straight cylindrical pipe is first placed in the lower cavity 5. Then, the hydraulic cylinders on the movable seats 8 on both sides of the pipe are started simultaneously, pushing the movable seats 8 towards the pipe until the punches 10 on both sides of the pipe press against and seal the two ends of the pipe. This not only seals the two ends of the pipe, but also positions and fixes the pipe. Then, the hydraulic cylinder on the upper mold seat 3 is started to push the upper mold 4 downward until the upper mold 4 and the lower mold 2 are closed. That is, the upper mold 4 is pressed onto the lower mold 2. The process of the upper mold 4 and the lower mold 2 closing is also the process of clamping the pipe. The clamping cavity 29 forms a clamping sealing section on the pipe. Then, the water expansion machine is started to fill the pipe with water pressure, expanding the pipe part corresponding to the water expansion cavity 28 to form a ring-pressure sealing section. Water from the water-expanding machine enters the pipe fitting sequentially through inlet 13, inlet passage 12, and through hole 11. The shape of the water-expanding cavity 28 is half of an annular convex ring. The annular convex ring of the pipe fitting is formed by water expansion, greatly improving the smoothness and fluidity of the annular convex ring surface, thereby improving the overall quality of the ring-clamp sealing pipe fitting. The mold in this invention can integrally form the clamping sealing section and the ring-clamping sealing section of the pipe fitting. The ring-clamping sealing section is formed by water expansion, which not only improves the quality of pipe fitting formation but also greatly increases the efficiency of pipe fitting formation. It should be noted that the lower cavity 5 and the upper cavity 6 can be made into straight-through, tee, or elbow types according to specific needs.
