AI Technical Summary
In traditional pipe bending processes, the tilting of the cut after bending leads to a decrease in product appearance quality and assembly accuracy. Furthermore, thin-walled, small-diameter pipes undergo severe material deformation during bending, making it difficult to guarantee quality.
A pipe end positioning structure is adopted, in which a bending mandrel abuts against the inner wall of the pipe fitting, and the mandrel sleeve abuts against the end of the pipe fitting. Combined with a clamping channel and a driving device, the material deformation of the pipe fitting is uniform during the bending process, which offsets the tilted cut and ensures that the pipe end is flat.
This achieves uniform material deformation during pipe bending, avoids additional pipe end cutting, improves product quality and yield, and simplifies the process.

Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to a pipe end positioning structure for pipe bending equipment. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the field of metal processing and manufacturing, a pipe bender is an important equipment for bending a straight pipe into a specific shape. However, in the traditional pipe bending process, when the pipe is bent, the inner bend is compressed and the outer bend is stretched due to the physical properties of the material. This uneven deformation often leads to the inclination of the pipe end after bending, affecting the appearance quality and assembly precision of the product. Therefore, in the actual processing and manufacturing process, the pipe end often needs to be cut after bending to make it more flat. However, this causes the processing steps to be complicated and the material to be wasted. Therefore, the present utility model person has developed a set of pipe bending process scheme. This scheme requires that the pipe be made with an inclined cut when the pipe blank is blanked. Then, after bending, the originally inclined pipe end surface becomes more flat due to the deformation of the pipe end during bending. However, if a general pipe bender is used for this process scheme, the pipe needs to be clamped and fixed. This makes the pipe end deformation smaller during bending, but the material deformation in the middle of the pipe is severe, which cannot guarantee the quality of the bent pipe, especially for thin-walled and small-diameter pipes.

[0033] The utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0034] The orientations described in this utility model specification, such as "up," "down," "left," "right," "front," and "back," are based on the orientations in the accompanying drawings and are intended to facilitate the description of the relationships between the various components. They do not indicate the unique or absolute positional relationships between the various components, but are merely one embodiment of the utility model and are not a limitation on its implementation.
[0035] In this embodiment, a pipe end positioning structure for a pipe bending device is provided, such as... Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this mechanism includes a base 1, a rotating seat 3, a bending die assembly 2, a first driving device 4, a bending mandrel 51, a second driving device 6, a mandrel sleeve 52, and a third driving device 7. The base 1 is equipped with the bending die assembly 2, which has a clamping channel 21 through which a pipe fitting A passes, and a bending groove 22 connected to the clamping channel 21 and partially arc-shaped. The pipe fitting A passes through the clamping channel 21 from the rear and extends out from the front. The rotating seat 3 is rotatably connected to the base 1, and its rotation center coincides with the center of the bending groove 22. The first driving device 4 is located between the base 1 and the rotating seat 3 and is used to drive the rotating seat 3 to rotate. The bending mandrel 51 is slidably connected to the rotating seat 3. The mandrel 51 is inserted into the inner cavity of the pipe A through the clamping channel 21 after sliding, and the sliding trajectory of the mandrel 51 is basically tangent to the center line of the bending groove 22; the second driving device 6 is set on the rotating seat 3 and is used to drive the mandrel 51 to slide; the mandrel sleeve 52 is slidably connected to the rotating seat 3 and can press against the end of the pipe A through the clamping channel 21 after sliding; the third driving device 7 is set on the rotating seat 3 and is used to drive the mandrel sleeve 52 to slide. When the mandrel 51 is inserted into the inner cavity of the pipe A and the mandrel sleeve 52 presses against the end of the pipe A, the rotating seat 3 rotates relative to the machine base, thereby causing both the mandrel 51 and the mandrel sleeve 52 to rotate around the center of the bending groove 22. Its working principle is as follows. Figure 8As shown, the pipe A passes through the clamping channel 21 from behind and extends out in front of the clamping channel 21, the second driving device 6 drives the bending mandrel 51 to slide so that the end of the bending mandrel 51 is inserted into the front of the pipe A, the third driving device 7 drives the mandrel sleeve 52 to slide so that the rear end face of the mandrel sleeve 52 abuts against the front end of the mandrel sleeve 52, and then the first driving device 4 drives the rotating seat 3 to rotate, and then the bending mandrel 51 and the mandrel sleeve 52 drive the pipe A to bend and deform around the bending groove 22, thereby realizing the bending function. The bending mandrel 51 abuts against the inner wall of the pipe A, and at the same time the mandrel sleeve 52 abuts against the end of the pipe A, so that the pipe A is positioned in the bending process, the bending mandrel 51 abuts against the inner wall of the pipe A to make the wall thickness of the pipe A deform uniformly in the bending process, and the outer wall of the pipe A is not pressed by external force, so that the pipe A can smoothly deform unevenly at the inner bend and the outer bend, the deformation offsets the pre-inclined cut pipe end of the pipe A, thereby making the bending part in one time, without additional cutting of the pipe end, the process is simple, and the controllability and stability are high, thereby improving the quality and yield of the product.
[0036] As shown in detail, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the bending die assembly 2 comprises a bending die support 23, the bending die support 23 is connected with a bending die 24, the bending die support 23 is slidably connected with a clamping die 25 which can approach or move away from the bending die 24, the bending die 24 is provided with the bending groove 22 and the first clamping die groove 241 connected with the bending groove 22, the clamping die 25 is provided with the second clamping die groove 251 on the side close to the bending die 24, and the machine base is further provided with the fourth driving device 26 for pushing the clamping die 25 to approach the bending die 24. And in this embodiment, by controlling the stroke of the fourth driving device 26, when the clamping die 25 approaches the bending die 24, the second clamping die groove 251 and the first clamping die groove 241 are folded to form the clamping channel 21, the clamping channel 21 is matched with the shape of the pipe A or there is a gap between the clamping channel 21 and the pipe A, so that the clamping channel 21 can be sleeved on the outer wall of the pipe A, and the pipe A is not subjected to a large pre-tightening force, and a small pre-tightening pressure can be appropriately applied to the pipe A, so as not to affect the deformation of the pipe A. In addition, this structure has another important feature, as shown in Figure 8 During the continuous conveying of the pipe A to the clamping channel 21, the pipe A1 located in front, that is, the bending position, is subjected to bending, and the pipe A2 located at the rear abuts against the rear end of the pipe A1, thereby realizing the positioning of the other pipe end, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the mechanism.
[0037] As shown in Figures 2 to 7As shown in the figure, the core rod sleeve 52 is sleeved on the elbow core rod 51 and can slide axially along the elbow core rod 51, the rotating base 3 is slidably connected with a first sliding base 31, the elbow core rod 51 is connected to the first sliding base 31, the output shaft of the second driving device 6 is connected to the first sliding base 31 and can push the first sliding base 31 to slide relative to the rotating base 3, the rotating base 3 is slidably connected with a second sliding base 32, the sliding direction of the second sliding base 32 is consistent with that of the first sliding base 31, the core rod sleeve 52 is connected to the second sliding base 32, and the output shaft of the third driving device 7 is connected to the second sliding base 32 and can push the second sliding base 32 to slide relative to the rotating base 3.
[0038] As a preferred scheme of the embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown in the figure, the elbow core rod 51 is provided with a first spherical arc surface 511 for pressing against the inner wall of the inner elbow of the pipe A at one end close to the elbow groove 22, and is provided with a second spherical arc surface 512 for pressing against the inner wall of the outer elbow of the pipe A at the other end away from the elbow groove 22, so as to reduce the friction force caused by the end of the elbow core rod 51 to the inner wall of the pipe A, and make the deformation of the pipe A more uniform.
[0039] As a preferred scheme, as shown in Figure 2 The radius of the second spherical arc surface 512 is R1, and the radius of the circular arc of the center line of the elbow groove 22 is R2, so R1=R2, so that the end of the elbow core rod 51 causes uniform support force to the inner wall of the pipe A, and does not affect the material deformation of the inner wall of the pipe A.
[0040] The above is only an embodiment of the present application, and the specific structure and characteristics of the scheme are not described in detail. It should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, without departing from the structure of the present application, a number of modifications and improvements can be made, which should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present application, and these will not affect the effect and practicality of the present application.
