[0020] Figure 2 It is another three-dimensional structure schematic diagram of the utility model.

[0021] Marked in the figure: 1 conveying roller, 2 transmission roller, 3 stand, 4 track, 5 conveying roller lifting driving cylinder, 6 servo motor, 7 support, 8 bending roller lifting driving cylinder, 9 track, 10 mounting plate, 11 pneumatic clutch. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] In order for those skilled in the art to better understand the technical scheme of the utility model, the utility model will be further described in detail below in combination with specific embodiments.

[0023] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 The utility model provides a copper pipe continuous conveying bending device, including conveying roller group and setting in conveying roller group export side's bending roller 2, conveying roller group includes parallelly arranged upper and lower two rows, wherein at least one row conveying roller 1 can move up and down to be close to or go to another row conveying roller 1, bending roller 2 can move up and down.

[0024] When there is copper pipe, the upper and lower two rows of conveying rollers are relatively close to clamp the copper pipe, and the conveying rollers start to rotate for conveying the copper pipe. When the end of the copper pipe runs to the bending roller, the bending roller 2 rises to bend the end of the copper pipe, and the subsequent copper pipes are all bent according to the preset radius. In addition, it can be foreseen that the radius of the copper pipe bending can be controlled according to the lifting height of the bending roller 2, so that the equipment has stronger adaptability and can perform bending and winding work on copper pipes of various models.

[0025] In this embodiment, the upper row of conveying rollers 1 is selected to be liftable. Specifically, the upper row of conveying rollers 1 is arranged on the mounting plate 10, the end of the mounting plate 10 is provided with a stand 3, the stand 3 is vertically provided with a track 4, the mounting plate 10 can move up and down along the track 4, and further comprising a conveying roller lifting driving cylinder 5 for driving the mounting plate 4 to move up and down.

[0026] Through the conveying roller lifting driving cylinder 5, all the upper row of conveying rollers 1 can be driven to descend to clamp and transport the copper pipe.

[0027] In this embodiment, the conveying roller 1 group is driven to rotate by a driving mechanism, and the power transmission between the driving mechanism and the conveying roller 1 can be switched on and off, so that the conveying roller 1 can be actively rotated for conveying the copper pipe, or can be passively rotated under the driving of the copper pipe to support the copper pipe. When the end of the copper pipe is not connected with the winding mechanism, the copper pipe needs the power provided by the conveying roller group to run. When the copper pipe is connected with the winding mechanism, the power of the winding mechanism can make the copper pipe continue to run, at this time, the conveying roller group does not need to convey the copper pipe any more, and at this time, the conveying roller group mainly plays a supporting role for the copper pipe. Therefore, the power between the conveying roller 1 and its driving mechanism in this embodiment can be switched on and off according to the requirement.

[0028] More specifically, in this embodiment, the driving mechanism is a servo motor 6, which can more precisely control the rotation of the conveying roller, thereby controlling the speed of the copper tube to match the output speed of the rolling mill. A pneumatic clutch 11 is provided between the servo motor 6 and the conveying roller 1, so that the connection between the servo motor 6 and the conveying roller 1 can be switched on and off.

[0029] The pneumatic clutch 11 is a device that uses compressed air as a power source to control the engagement and disengagement of the clutch. Its basic working principle is to control the engagement and disengagement of the clutch discs through the action of compressed air, thereby achieving the transmission or disconnection of power. The working process of the pneumatic clutch 11 includes:

[0030] Initial state: In the absence of compressed air supply, the clutch is disengaged. This means there is no power transmission between the drive shaft (usually the motor shaft) and the driven shaft.

[0031] Engagement process: When compressed air is introduced into the clutch through the air pipe, the air pressure acts on the piston or diaphragm, causing it to move. This movement compresses the clutch plates, thereby connecting the drive shaft and driven shaft, and realizing the transmission of power.

[0032] Separation process: When compressed air is released, the piston or diaphragm returns to its original position under the action of a spring or other reset mechanism, the clutch disc disengages, the connection between the drive shaft and the driven shaft is broken, and power transmission stops.

[0033] The purpose of setting a starting clutch 11 between the servo motor 6 and the conveyor roller 1 is to disconnect the hard connection between the servo motor 6 and the conveyor roller 1 when the conveyor roller 1 does not require power, so as to avoid the conveyor roller 1 driving the servo motor 6 to rotate passively, thereby causing wear on the servo motor 6.

[0034] In some embodiments, the upper conveyor roller 1 has three rollers, and the lower conveyor roller 1 has two rollers. The first two rollers of the upper conveyor roller 1 (from...) Figure 1 (Counting from right to left) Corresponding to position 1 of the lower row of conveyor rollers, the distance between the first two of the upper row of conveyor rollers 1 is greater than the distance between the second and third; the distance between the bending roller 2 and the second lower row of conveyor rollers 1 is less than the distance between the second and third upper row of conveyor rollers 1. The first two of the upper row of conveyor rollers 1 and the lower row of conveyor rollers 1 are mainly used for transporting copper tubes, while the third conveyor roller 1 in the upper row of conveyor rollers 1 also serves to assist in bending in conjunction with the bending roller 2. In addition, in order to reduce the power source, the second and third upper row of conveyor rollers 1 are linked by a chain; the two lower row of conveyor rollers 1 are linked by a chain.

[0035] In order to achieve the lifting and lowering of the bending roller 2, the bending roller 2 can slide up and down along the vertically arranged track 9 on the support 7; it also includes a bending roller lifting and lowering drive cylinder 8 for driving the bending roller 2 to slide up and down.

[0036] In order to realize automation, photoelectric switch I is arranged in front of the conveying roller group to control the operation of the conveying roller group; photoelectric switch II is arranged between the conveying roller group and the bending roller 2 to control the operation of the bending roller. When the photoelectric switch I is triggered, the upper conveying roller moves downward to clamp the copper pipe, and the conveying pipe starts to rotate to convey the copper pipe. When the photoelectric switch II is triggered, the bending roller rises to bend the copper pipe.

[0037] The working process of the utility model is as follows:

[0038] The conveying roller 1 starts to run, and the copper pipe enters the conveying roller group. The upper conveying roller 1 is driven by the conveying roller lifting drive cylinder 5 to press down to clamp and convey the copper pipe. When the copper pipe reaches the bending roller 2 (the initial height of the bending roller 2 is flush with the lower conveying roller 1), the bending roller 2 rises (the rising height is set in advance) to pre-bend the copper pipe. The bent copper pipe continues to climb into the vertical coiling drum slot to complete the early action of vertical coiling.

[0039] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the utility model, and it should be pointed out that the above preferred embodiment should not be regarded as the limitation of the utility model, and the protection scope of the utility model should be limited by the scope defined by the claims. For ordinary skilled persons in the technical field, several improvements and refinements can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model, and these improvements and refinements should also be regarded as the protection scope of the utility model.
