[0035] In order to make the technical scheme and beneficial effects of the present disclosure more comprehensible, the present disclosure will be further described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments:

[0036] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7The pipe bending clamp 10 of the utility model one embodiment comprises a guide rod 100, a support plate 200, a fixing assembly 300, a first limiting plate 400 and a second limiting plate 500. The guide rod 100 is fixedly connected with the swing arm of the bending machine. In the embodiment, the guide rod 100 is welded and fixed on the swing arm of the bending machine. The support plate 200 is provided with a first through hole 201. The fixing assembly 300 is connected with the support plate 200, and the fixing assembly 300 is provided with a second through hole 301, and the guide rod 100 is respectively arranged in the first through hole 201 and the second through hole 301. The first limiting plate 400 is fixed on one side of the support plate 200, and the first limiting plate 400 is arranged above the first through hole 201, and the first limiting plate 400 is provided with a first inclined surface 410, and the first inclined surface 410 is vertically provided with a first limiting column 420. The second limiting plate 500 is fixed on one side of the support plate 200, and the second limiting plate 500 is arranged above the through hole 201, and the second limiting plate 500 is arranged in parallel with the first limiting plate 400, and the second limiting plate 500 is arranged above the first limiting plate 400, and the second limiting plate 500 is provided with a second inclined surface 510, and the second inclined surface 510 is arranged in parallel with the first inclined surface 410, and the second limiting plate 500 is vertically provided with a second limiting column 520 on the side away from the first limiting plate 400, and the axial direction of the first limiting column 420 and the axial direction of the second limiting column 520 are both arranged in parallel with the support plate 200, and the distance between the first limiting column 420 and the support plate 200 is less than the distance between the second limiting column 520 and the support plate 200.

[0037] In the embodiment, the pipe bending clamp 10 is provided with the second limiting column 520 and the first limiting column 420 in front and back, so that the length of the straight pipe section formed by each bending is consistent, thereby ensuring that each straight pipe section after bending meets the assembly requirement, and the assembly efficiency is improved. In addition, in the bending process, the bending machine and the pipe bending clamp cooperate to support the two ends of the pipe, so that the pipe is prevented from tilting in the bending process, and the bending accuracy is further improved.

[0038] In one bending, the fixing position of the pipe bending clamp 10 on the guide rod 100 can be adjusted through the fixing assembly 300, so that the length of the straight pipe section of the integrated bending pipe is ensured, and in the bending process, the end of the pipe abuts against the first limiting column 420, so that the accuracy of the initial bending position is ensured. The bending accuracy is improved. Meanwhile, the second limiting plate 520 further limits the pipe, so that the pipe is prevented from tilting or separating from the pipe bending clamp 10, and the bending accuracy is further improved.

[0039] In the process of the second bending, the second limiting column 520 provides angle guidance, ensuring that the angles between the bending parts of the integrated bent pipe after bending meet the assembly requirements. Specifically, when processing the second bending part, the first bending part is hooked on the second limiting column 520, ensuring that the fixture of the first bending part and the horizontal ground is the inclination angle of the second inclined surface 510, that is, the preset bending angle. Similarly, the same operation is performed on the subsequent bending parts to meet the assembly standards of the pipe heat exchanger. In addition, in the bending process, the second limiting column 520 cooperates with the support plate 200 to provide axial limiting for the pipe material, preventing the pipe material from being axially offset.

[0040] As shown in Figure 5 one of the embodiments, the support plate 200 is provided with a mounting hole 202 above the first through hole 201. One end of the first limiting plate 400 is formed with a mounting protrusion 430 matched with the mounting hole 202, and the mounting protrusion 430 is arranged in the mounting hole 202. Specifically, in this embodiment, the first limiting plate 400 is fixedly connected with the support plate 200 along the circumference of the mounting hole 202, ensuring that the connection between the first limiting plate 400 and the support plate 200 is firm and reliable. The cooperation between the mounting protrusion 430 and the mounting hole 202 further enhances the stability of the pipe bending fixture 10 structure, prevents the pipe material from being displaced due to the vibration of the limiting plate during the bending process, and ensures the bending precision.

[0041] As shown in Figure 2 one of the embodiments, the second limiting plate 500 is fixedly connected with the first limiting column 420. Specifically, in this embodiment, one end of the second limiting plate 500 is fixedly connected with the support plate 200, and the other end of the second limiting plate 500 is fixedly connected with the first limiting column 420. In this way, the supporting force of the second limiting plate 500 can be enhanced, preventing the limiting plate from loosening during the bending process and ensuring the stability and precision of the pipe bending.

[0042] As shown in Figure 2 one of the embodiments, the fixing assembly 300 includes a fixing sleeve 310, and the fixing sleeve 310 is slidably connected with the guide rod 100.

[0043] As shown in Figure 2 one of the embodiments, the fixing sleeve 310 is provided with an adjusting piece 311, and the outer wall of the fixing sleeve 310 is provided with an adjusting hole 3101. The adjusting piece 311 is arranged in the adjusting hole 3101, and the adjusting piece 311 abuts against the outer wall of the guide rod 100.

[0044] It can be understood that the guide rod 100 is respectively arranged in the support plate 200 and the fixing sleeve 310, and the fixing sleeve 310 is used to set the fixed position of the support plate 200 on the guide rod 100. Specifically, when the adjusting part 311 is screwed, the adjusting part 311 is abutted with the outer wall of the guide rod 100 to provide a friction force to lock the fixing sleeve 310 on the guide rod 100; when the adjusting part 311 is loosened, the fixing sleeve 310 can be unlocked, so that the support plate 200 is slid along the axial direction of the guide rod 100 by rotating the fixing sleeve 310, and the flexible adjustment of the fixed position of the support plate 200 is realized to adapt to the bending requirements of different pipes. At the same time, the cooperation of the fixing sleeve 310 and the adjusting part 311 can improve the positioning accuracy of the support plate 200 on the guide rod 100, so that the pipe bending clamp 10 does not deviate or shake during the bending process, and the accuracy of the included angle between the bending parts after bending is ensured.

[0045] As shown in Figures 2 to 5 one of the embodiments, the first limiting column 420 is located at the middle position of the first limiting plate 400, and the second limiting column 520 is located at the edge of the second limiting plate 500 away from the support plate 200. It can be understood that the first limiting column 420 is used to abut against the pipe port during the first bending to provide an initial support point and confirm the accuracy of the first bending position and the straight pipe length. In the second bending, the bent pipe segment formed by bending is hooked on the second limiting column 520, and by setting the second limiting column 520 at the edge of the second limiting plate 500, the consistency of the lengths of any two straight pipe segments is ensured.

[0046] As shown in Figure 2 one of the embodiments, the fixing assembly 300 further includes a clamping plate 320, one side of the clamping plate 320 is connected with the support plate 200, and the other side of the clamping plate 320 is connected with the fixing sleeve 310. Specifically, in this embodiment, the clamping plate 320 is integrally formed with the fixing sleeve 310, the clamping plate 320 can increase the contact area of the fixing assembly 300 and the support plate 200, reduce local stress concentration, improve the clamping force and the stability of the overall structure, and avoid damage to the support plate 200 or the fixing sleeve 310 due to excessive local pressure.

[0047] As shown in Figure 2 one of the embodiments, the first limiting plate 400 is welded with the support plate 200, the first limiting plate 400 is welded with the first limiting column 420, the second limiting plate 500 is welded with the support plate 200, and the second limiting plate 500 is welded with the second limiting column 520. It can be understood that the first limiting plate 400 and the second limiting plate 500 are both welded with the support plate 200 along the periphery of the corresponding mounting hole 202, and the limiting column is welded and fixed with the limiting plate, so that the specific position of the limiting column can be determined according to actual needs and the stability thereof is ensured, displacement caused by insecure welding is avoided, and the accuracy of the bending process and the quality of the pipe are further ensured.

[0048] Compared with the prior art, the present disclosure has at least the following advantages:

[0049] The pipe bending clamp ensures that the length of the straight pipe section formed each time is consistent by arranging the second limiting column before and after the first limiting column, and ensures that each straight pipe section and the bent pipe section after bending meet the assembly requirements, thereby improving the assembly efficiency. In addition, in the bending operation, the bending machine and the pipe bending clamp cooperate to support the two ends of the pipe, avoiding the pipe from tilting during the bending process, and further improving the bending accuracy.

[0050] In one bending, the fixed assembly can adjust the fixed position of the pipe bending clamp on the guide rod, thereby ensuring the length of the straight pipe section of the integrated bending pipe. During the bending process, the end of the pipe abuts against the first limiting column, ensuring the accuracy of the initial bending position and improving the bending accuracy. At the same time, the second limiting plate provides more limiting for the pipe, avoiding the pipe from tilting or separating from the pipe bending clamp, and further improving the bending accuracy.

[0051] During the second bending process, the second limiting column provides angle guidance to ensure that the angles between the bending positions of the integrated bending pipe meet the assembly requirements. Specifically, when processing the second bending position, the first bending position is hooked on the limiting column, ensuring that the angle between the first bending position and the inclined surface of the clamp on the horizontal ground is the preset bending angle. Similarly, the same operation is performed on the subsequent bending positions to meet the assembly standards of the pipe heat exchanger. In addition, during the bending process, the second limiting column cooperates with the support plate to provide axial limiting for the pipe, preventing the pipe from being axially offset.

[0052] The above-described embodiments only express several embodiments of the present disclosure, and the description is more specific and detailed, but it should not be understood as a limitation on the scope of the disclosed patent. It should be noted that for ordinary skilled persons in the art, without departing from the concept of the present disclosure, several modifications and improvements can be made, which are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure. Therefore, the protection scope of the present disclosure patent should be subject to the appended claims.
