Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric heating tube processing technology, specifically to a cylinder-driven electric heating tube bending machine. Background Technology
[0002] Electric heating elements are ubiquitous in our lives, such as those in soy milk makers, rice cookers, and water heaters. With the development of the pipe processing industry, pipe shapes are becoming increasingly complex, and the requirements for the degree of bending and the shape of the bends of electric heating elements are becoming more and more diverse. Consequently, the corresponding bending equipment also needs to be constantly updated and improved.
[0003] Currently, electric heating tube bending machines on the market mainly control the bending angle through servo motors or hydraulic transmission, which has high production efficiency. However, due to the large initial investment in servo motors, the production cost is high, and they are only suitable for large-scale production. Hydraulic transmission control has high technical requirements for components, strict use and maintenance, and is prone to leakage and pollution, which affects the reliability of the system.
[0004] A search revealed Chinese patent application number CN201320347580.2, filed on June 7, 2013, entitled "Three-Dimensional Pipe Bending Machine with Angle Adjustment Structure." This application discloses a three-dimensional pipe bending machine with an angle adjustment structure, including a worktable, a bending structure mounted on the worktable, and a control motor mounted within the worktable. The bending structure includes a clamping component, a bending angle support plate, and a bending shaft. The bending shaft is movably mounted on the worktable and cooperates with the bending angle support plate. The bending shaft is connected to the control motor. An angle adjustment structure with an angle scale is provided on the bending angle support plate, and the bending angle of the bending angle support plate is adjusted through the angle adjustment structure. This application has a simple structure and includes a bending angle adjustment structure, allowing for accurate angle setting as needed. Furthermore, it effectively improves the processing accuracy of pipe bending during the process. However, this application still uses a control motor for control, resulting in higher production costs. Utility Model Content

[0033] Working Principle: This utility model discloses a cylinder-driven electric heating tube bending machine. During operation, the distance between the rotating column 10 and the cylinder 13 is first adjusted according to the diameter of the heating tube to be bent. During this process, the first nut 18 is loosened by the first operating rod 19. The first nut 18 moves downwards along the outer edge of the first threaded rod 14 until it is far away from the first threaded rod 14, thus releasing the cylinder 13 from its fixation. Then, the cylinder 13 is moved upwards, causing the first threaded rod 14 and the limiting block 16 to move. The limiting block 16 moves away from the limiting groove 17, thus removing the cylinder 13. Then, based on the diameter of the heating element of the tube to be bent, the distance between the rotating column 10 and the cylinder 13 is determined, thereby determining the position of the cylinder 13. Then, the cylinder 13 is moved downwards, and the cylinder 13 drives the first threaded rod 14 and the limiting block 16 to move. The first threaded rod 14 passes through the rectangular groove 15, and the limiting block 16 is inserted into the inner cavity of the corresponding limiting groove 17. At this time, the distance between the rotating column 10 and the cylinder 13 is the same as the diameter of the heating element of the tube to be bent. Then, the first nut 18 is put on, and the first nut 18 is tightened through the first operating rod 19 to fix the cylinder 13. The heating element of the tube to be bent is placed between the rotating column 10 and the cylinder 13.
[0034] Then, loosen the second nut 25 by using the second operating rod 26 to release the fixation of the vertical plate 21. Then, move the vertical plate 21 horizontally. The vertical plate 21 drives the slider 22 to move in the inner cavity of the slide groove 23. The vertical plate 21 also drives the second threaded rod 24 to move in the inner cavity of the first through groove 27. Move the vertical plate 21 to fit against the side wall of the heating tube of the tube to be bent. Then, tighten the second nut 25 by using the second operating rod 26 to fix the vertical plate 21.
[0035] The third operating rod 34 drives the third threaded rod 31 to rotate, the third threaded rod 31 moves relative to the threaded hole 32, the third threaded rod 31 drives the rubber head 33 to move, the rubber head 33 moves away from the vertical plate 21, thereby releasing the fixation of the U-shaped rod 28, and then moves the heating tube to be bent to the rear side, while moving the U-shaped rod 28 at the same time, at least one U-shaped rod 28 is sleeved on the outside of the heating tube to be bent, the bending position of the heating tube is in contact with the rotating column 10, and then the third threaded rod 31 sleeved on the U-shaped rod 28 on the outside of the heating tube to be bent is tightened, the rubber head 33 is in contact with the side wall of the vertical plate 21, thereby fixing the U-shaped rod 28, and the U-shaped rod 28 fixes the heating tube of the tube to be bent on the vertical plate 21;
[0036] The above completes the fixing operation of the heating tube to be bent. By adjusting the distance between the rotating column 10 and the cylinder 13, as well as the position of the vertical plate 21, the device can be used to process heating tubes of different sizes, greatly improving the applicability of the device.
[0037] After the heating element is fixed, cylinder 4 is started by an external power supply. Cylinder 4 drives rack 7 to move to the right via drive rod 6. Rack 7 drives gear 8 to rotate. Gear 8 drives rotating column 10 to rotate within the bearing 11. Rotating column 10 drives cylinder 13 to rotate via fixing plate 12. Cylinder 13 rotates within the arc groove 20 until it touches the heating element. Then, as gear 8 continues to rotate, cylinder 13 drives the heating element to bend around rotating column 10. The bending angle of the heating element is controlled by cylinder 4, thus completing the bending of the heating element.

The embodiments used in this document illustrate the principles and implementation methods of this application. The descriptions of the embodiments above are only for the purpose of helping to understand the methods and core ideas of this application.
