TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to TPV pipeline flaring technical field especially relates to a kind of automobile TPV pipeline flaring mistake-proof device. BACKGROUND
[0002] Automobile TPV pipeline flaring equipment is used to expand the pipe opening of TPV pipeline (a kind of thermoplastic elastomer pipeline, commonly used in automobile cooling system) into a specific shape (such as horn shape). This equipment plays an important role in the automobile manufacturing industry, especially in the field of new energy vehicles, lightweight, recyclability and high performance are the key advantages of TPV pipeline.
[0003] The working principle of automobile TPV pipeline flaring equipment usually involves the use of flaring device or similar tools to expand the size of the pipe opening by applying pressure and expansion force. The flaring device is a special tool that can ensure the uniformity of pipe opening expansion and avoid rupture. During operation, the flaring device is placed at the pipe opening that needs to be expanded, and then gradually applies force to expand it to the required size.
[0004] During the production and use of automobile TPV pipeline, inaccurate flaring diameter may cause the sealing performance of the pipeline connection to decrease. If the flaring diameter is too large or too small, the fit with the connecting piece will be affected, thereby increasing the risk of leakage. Especially in high-pressure, high-temperature or corrosive medium environments, such leakage may pose a serious safety hazard.
[0005] Inaccurate flaring diameter will affect the fluid transmission efficiency of the pipeline. Deviation of flaring diameter may cause the flow resistance of fluid in the pipeline to increase, thereby reducing the transmission efficiency. This not only increases energy consumption, but also may affect the performance of the entire system. Inaccurate flaring diameter may also have a negative impact on the strength and durability of the pipeline. If the flaring diameter is too large, it may cause the pipeline to bear excessive stress at the connection, thereby increasing the risk of rupture. Conversely, if the flaring diameter is too small, it may cause the connecting piece to be damaged or the pipeline to be deformed due to tight fit. Inaccurate flaring diameter also increases the difficulty of subsequent production and installation. In a pipeline system, each component needs to be accurately fitted to ensure the stability and reliability of the system. If the flaring diameter is not accurate, additional processing or adjustment work may be required to adapt to the connecting piece, which not only increases production cost, but also may delay the construction period.

[0030] The top view of the discharge rack 7 is designed in the shape of “U”, which is fixed on the base plate 1 by bolts. The discharge rack 7 is designed to be inclined, so that it can be conveniently placed below the first positioning flaring assembly 4 and the second positioning flaring assembly 6;
[0031] The electric push rod 12 is fixed on the base plate 1 by bolts, and the telescopic end of the electric push rod 12 penetrates through the discharge rack 7.
