[0019] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but this is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
[0020] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, this embodiment of a radial compression device for pipes includes a base plate 1 and a pressure cap 6. A central platform 2 is disposed in the center of the base plate 1. The central platform 2 is a regular dodecagonal prism. Twelve push plates 3 are evenly distributed in a circle around the central platform 2 on the base plate 1. Each push plate 3 is a wedge-shaped block formed by rotating a right-angled trapezoid (smaller at the top and larger at the bottom) around the center of the central platform 1 at a certain angle. The inner surface of each push plate 3 is a vertical surface. The height of each push plate 3 is greater than that of the central platform 2. Each push plate 3 can move radially along the central platform 2. A spring 4 is provided between the bottom of the push plate 3 and the center platform 2 to push the push plate 3 outward. A limiting ring 5 is fitted on the bottom outer side of the push plate 3 to prevent the push plate 3 from being bounced away. The pressure cover 6 includes a pressure plate 61 and a pressure ring 62 that can be fitted on the outer side of all push plates 3 at the same time. The inner side of the pressure ring 62 is a frustum. The large diameter of the bottom inner side of the pressure ring 62 is larger than the outer diameter of the top of the push plate 3 when it is fully open, and smaller than the outer diameter of the bottom of the push plate 3 when it is minimally contracted. The generatrix inclination angle of the inner side of the pressure ring 62 is equal to the generatrix inclination angle of the outer side of the push plate 3.
[0021] During operation, the workpiece to be compressed is placed on the central platform 2, and then the pressure ring 62 is fitted onto the push plate 3 from above. When downward pressure is applied to the pressure cover 6, the pressure ring 62 pushes the push plate 3 to move radially through the inclined surface that engages with the push plate 3, thereby pushing all the push plates 3 to contract towards the center, thus radially compressing the workpiece at the center.
[0022] To prevent the spring 4 from falling off, both the center platform 2 and the push plate 3 are provided with grooves to secure the spring 4.
[0023] The base plate 1 is provided with a positioning pin 7 to restrict the movement of the limiting ring 5; in addition, in order to facilitate different degrees of shrinkage for workpieces of different diameters, the top of the limiting ring 5 is provided with a limiting ring 8 to position the pressing distance of the pressure ring 62. The limiting ring 8 can be prepared in many different thickness models for easy replacement.
[0024] To facilitate observation of the workpiece compression or to facilitate local compression of excessively long workpieces, the pressure plate 61 is provided with a through hole coaxial with the pressure ring 62, and the diameter of the through hole is equal to the minor diameter of the inner top end of the pressure ring 62.
[0025] Finally, it should be noted that the above examples are used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, and for the convenience of describing the technical solutions, the directions of front, back, left, right, up, middle and down are set based on the drawings, and are not a limitation on the protection scope of the present application. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present application can be modified or replaced equivalently without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solutions of the present application.
