[0052] The working principle of the embodiment is as follows:
[0053] The outer mold body 2 needs to be connected with the outer mold base 1 in use, the outer mold base 1 supports the outer mold body 2 after connection, the steel pipe to be shaped is inserted into the molding cavity 3 from the inlet of the outer mold body 2 after the outer mold base 1 is fixed, it needs to be explained that the large opening end of the molding cavity 3 is the inlet, the other end is the outlet, the end of the steel pipe with the flat head extends to the outlet of the molding cavity 3, the clamping mechanism is arranged at the outlet of the outer mold body 2, the whole steel pipe is driven to move to the outlet of the outer mold body 2 after the flat end is clamped, and the cold drawing effect is realized;
[0054] The transition zone 31 and the sizing zone 32 are arranged in the molding cavity 3, the steel pipe moves in the molding cavity 3 under the tension of the clamping mechanism, is extruded by the taper inside the molding cavity 3 in the moving process, and changes the shape, finally extends to the outside of the outer mold body 2 through the transition zone 31 and the sizing zone 32, and the whole cold drawing process is completed, the transition zone 31 is used for guiding the steel pipe to pass through the sizing zone 32 stably, reducing mechanical impact and friction of the steel pipe when entering the outer mold body 2, and the main function of the sizing zone 32 is to ensure that the outer diameter size of the steel pipe after cold drawing meets the design requirement;
[0055] In the embodiment, the width of the transition zone 31 needs to be controlled to 10mm to 11mm, the width of the sizing zone 32 needs to be controlled to 6.0mm to 6.5mm, the outer transverse crack defect is solved by changing the parameters of the existing outer mold body 2, and the shaped steel pipe after cold drawing can reduce the probability of occurrence of the outer transverse crack under the parameters;
[0056] In addition, high heat is generated in the whole drawing process, the high heat is not treated, and the quality of the steel pipe or the service life of the outer mold body 2 is affected, therefore, the liquid inlet 61, the cooling channel 63 and the liquid outlet 62 are arranged on the outer mold body 2, the liquid inlet 61 can be used for injecting cooling liquid, the cooling liquid enters the cooling channel 63, the cooling channel 63 is arranged in the inside of the outer mold body 2 and is annular, the cooling liquid can uniformly cool the inside of the whole outer mold body 2 after entering the annular cooling channel 63, the cooling liquid finally flows out from the liquid outlet 62, the cooling liquid flowing out from the liquid outlet 62 can be treated through a circulating pump and a heat exchanger and the like, the circulation of the cooling liquid is realized, the treated cooling liquid enters the cooling channel 63 through the liquid inlet 61 again, and the outer mold body 2 is cooled, the cooling channel 63 cools the outer mold body 2 and also cools the steel pipe in the outer mold body 2, it needs to be explained that the size of the cooling channel 63 needs to be determined according to the size of the actual outer mold body 2, and the cooling channel 63 needs to be arranged to ensure that the molding cavity 3 in the outer mold body 2 can exert sufficient force on the steel pipe, so that the steel pipe is shaped and the outer mold body 2 is not deformed.
[0057] Example 2
[0058] like Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment further includes the following structure based on embodiment one: two symmetrically arranged first buffer components 7 are provided on the exit end face of the outer mold body 2. The first buffer component 7 includes a buffer plate 71 and a first buffer pad 73.
[0059] Two buffer plates 71 are located on the upper and lower sides of the outlet end face of the outer mold body 2, respectively;
[0060] The first buffer pad 73 is disposed on the outer end face of the buffer plate 71 on the axial direction of the outer mold body 2.
[0061] like Figure 3 As shown, a second buffer pad 74 is provided on the upper surface of the buffer plate 71 located below.
[0062] like Figure 3 As shown, a shrinkage groove corresponding to the buffer plate 71 is provided inside the outer mold body 2, and the buffer plate 71 is slidably disposed in the shrinkage groove;
[0063] A spring 72 is installed inside the shrinkage groove, and the two ends of the spring 72 are connected to the inner wall of the shrinkage groove and the buffer plate 71, respectively.
[0064] A limiting groove 76 is provided in the shrinkage groove, and a limiting block 75 is connected to the buffer plate 71. The limiting block 75 is slidably disposed in the limiting groove 76.
[0065] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:
[0066] In the entire drawing process, the initial step includes an external clamping mechanism clamping the flat end of the steel pipe and then moving the entire steel pipe. Before the clamping mechanism clamps the flat end, it needs to be moved to the flat end. During this process, the clamping mechanism often directly impacts the exit section of the outer mold body 2 due to insufficient movement accuracy. Over time, this can lead to damage to the outer mold body 2. Therefore, a buffer plate 71 is provided on the outer mold body 2. When the clamping mechanism moves towards the outer mold body 2, it will first contact the first buffer pad 73 on the buffer plate 71. The first buffer pad 73 prevents the clamping mechanism from directly impacting the outer mold body 2 and plays a protective role. The external clamping mechanism is not shown in the attached figure. The clamping mechanism is existing technology, and its working principle will not be described in detail here.
[0067] Meanwhile, the second buffer pad 74 is arranged on the buffer plate 71, when the clamping mechanism drives the whole steel pipe to pass through the outer mold body 2, because the clamping mechanism only clamps the flat head end of the steel pipe, the length of the whole steel pipe is longer, after passing through the outer mold body 2, the tail of the steel pipe is not supported and directly inclines downward, so that the steel pipe is bent or inclined and hits other places and is damaged, therefore, the second buffer pad 74 is arranged to support the tail of the steel pipe, after the whole steel pipe passes through the outer mold body 2, the tail falls on the second buffer pad 74, it should be noted that the first buffer pad 73 and the second buffer pad 74 can be made of rubber;
[0068] In addition, the buffer plate 71 is arranged in the inner part of the outer mold body 2 through the spring 72, when not being extruded by the clamping mechanism, most of the buffer plate 71 extends to the outer part of the outer mold body 2, the supporting area of the tail of the steel pipe is increased, when the clamping mechanism moves to the outer mold body 2, the first buffer pad 73 and the buffer plate 71 are extruded, after the buffer plate 71 extrudes the spring 72, most of the buffer plate 71 is arranged in the inner part of the outer mold body 2, it should be noted that because the space of the buffer plate 71 is limited in the inner part of the outer mold body 2, even if being extruded, the buffer plate 71 will not completely extend into the inner part of the outer mold body 2, but a part of the buffer plate 71 is arranged to block the clamping mechanism from directly impacting the outer mold body 2, meanwhile, the buffer plate 71 drives the limiting block 75 to move in the limiting groove 76 in the process of being contracted, through the arrangement of the limiting groove 76, the buffer plate 71 will not completely extend to be separated from the outer mold body 2 when not being extruded, so that the supporting effect of the tail of the steel pipe can be ensured.
[0069] The above specific embodiments are used to further explain the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects solved by the utility model, it should be understood that the above description is only the specific embodiments of the utility model and is not used to limit the utility model, any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement and the like within the spirit and principle of the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
