[0025] To further understand the features, technical means, and specific objectives and functions achieved by this utility model, the following detailed description of this utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0026] Reference Figures 1-6As shown, this utility model provides: an automatic straightening machine for galvanized steel pipes to reduce damage to the galvanized layer, used to straighten bent steel pipes. It includes a main body 1 and several straightening devices 11 installed on the top of the main body 1 for straightening the steel pipes. The number of straightening devices 11 is determined according to actual needs to ensure that the steel pipe is subjected to straightening force comprehensively and uniformly. Each straightening device 11 includes a transverse straightener 112 and longitudinal straighteners 111 arranged on both sides of the transverse straightener 112. The longitudinal straighteners 111 and transverse straighteners 112 have the same structure. The longitudinal straightener 111 includes symmetrically arranged longitudinal straightening rollers 1111, and the transverse straightener 112 includes symmetrically arranged transverse straightening rollers 1121. The longitudinal straighteners 1111 and transverse straighteners 1121 are fitted with anti-scratch components 115 to prevent damage to the galvanized layer on the steel pipe. The anti-scratch components 115 are typically made of soft materials or materials with special surface properties to reduce friction and scratches when in direct contact with the steel pipe. The longitudinal straightener 111 and the transverse straightener 112 also include drive mechanisms (not shown in the figure) for driving the longitudinal straightening roller 1111 and the transverse straightening roller 1121 to rotate. The drive mechanism can be an electric motor, a hydraulic motor, or other form of power source, which transmits power to the straightening rollers through a transmission device (such as gears, chains, or belts). When the drive mechanism is activated, the straightening rollers begin to rotate and apply a straightening force through contact with the steel pipe. This force gradually straightens the steel pipe to the desired shape and size.

[0027] During the straightening process, the bent steel pipe is fed into the straightening device 11 and subjected to the synergistic action of the longitudinal straightener 111 and the transverse straightener 112. The steel pipe is straightened by the longitudinal straightener 111 and the transverse straightener 112 to eliminate its bending in the longitudinal and transverse directions. By continuously adjusting the rotation speed and pressure of the straightening rollers, the steel pipe can be accurately straightened.

[0028] The anti-scratch component 115 includes a first flexible protective sleeve 1151 and a second flexible protective sleeve 1152. Both the first and second flexible protective sleeves are semi-circular cylindrical in shape. They can be joined together to form a circle and fitted onto the longitudinal straightening roller 1111 and the transverse straightening roller 1121. Clips 1153 are fixed to both sides of the first and second flexible protective sleeves 1151 and 1152, and fixing bolts 1153 are screwed onto the clips 1153 to secure the first and second flexible protective sleeves 1151 and 1152. 154. When the first flexible protective sleeve 1151 and the second flexible protective sleeve 1152 are spliced ​​together, they can form a complete circle and fit tightly on the straightening roller. To ensure that the two protective sleeves can be firmly spliced ​​and held on the straightening roller, both sides of the first flexible protective sleeve 1151 and the second flexible protective sleeve 1152 are fixed with clips 1153. The design of the clips 1153 allows them to align with each other and fit tightly, thereby enhancing the stability of the protective sleeves. Fixing bolts 1154 are screwed on the clips 1153. The fixing bolts 1154 are tightened to firmly fix the two protective sleeves together.

[0029] The first flexible protective sleeve 1151 and the second flexible protective sleeve 1152 are made of rubber material.

[0030] The rubber material is soft and elastic, which allows it to fit tightly against the surface of the straightening roller, providing uniform protection. When the steel pipe passes through the straightening roller, the flexible protective sleeve can absorb and disperse the straightening force, reducing the risk of direct impact and scratches on the galvanized layer.

[0031] The first flexible protective sleeve 1151 and the second flexible protective sleeve 1152 are made of plastic material. Plastic material has good stability against a variety of chemicals and also reduces the risk of direct impact and scratches on the galvanized layer.

[0032] The straightening device 11 includes a support frame 116, and a groove 1161 is provided on the support frame 116. Both ends of the longitudinal straightening roller 1111 and the transverse straightening roller 1121 are slidably disposed in the groove 1161. A slider 117 corresponding to the longitudinal straightening roller 1111 and the transverse straightening roller 1121 is slidably disposed in the groove 1161. The longitudinal straightening roller 1111 and the transverse straightening roller 1121 are rotatably disposed on the slider 117. The longitudinal straightening roller 1111 and the transverse straightening roller 1121 are respectively disposed in the longitudinal and transverse positions of the support frame 116 for straightening the steel pipe. A straightening force is applied by rotation, so that the steel pipe gradually returns to the required straight shape.

[0033] The straightening device 11 includes a synchronous moving component 114 that synchronously drives the longitudinal straightening roller 1111 and the transverse straightening roller 1121 to move closer or further apart, and a driving component 113 that drives the synchronous moving component 114 to run. The synchronous moving component 114 includes a drive pulley 1141 and a rack 1142, with the drive pulley 1141 and the rack 1142 meshing with each other. The driving component 113 includes a worm gear 1133, which is coaxially connected to the drive pulley 1141. The driving component 113 includes a rotary drive member 1131 and a worm 1132, with the output end of the rotary drive member 1131 fixedly connected to one end of the worm 1132, and the worm 1132 and the worm gear 1133 meshing with each other.

[0034] The drive pulley 1141 is one of the core components of the synchronous movement assembly 114. It meshes with the rack 1142 and drives the rack 1142 to move horizontally by rotating. When the drive pulley 1141 rotates, the rack 1142 moves along its length, thereby bringing the longitudinal straightening roller 1111 and the transverse straightening roller 1121 closer to the outside of the clamping steel pipe.

[0035] When it is necessary to adjust the distance between the longitudinal straightening roller 1111 and the transverse straightening roller 1121, the rotary drive 1131 starts working, driving the worm gear 1132 to rotate. The rotation of the worm gear 1132 drives the worm wheel 1133 to rotate. Since the worm wheel 1133 is coaxially connected to the drive pulley 1141, the drive pulley 1141 will also rotate. The rotation of the drive pulley 1141 drives the rack 1142 to move in the horizontal direction, thereby driving the support structure of the longitudinal straightening roller 1111 and the transverse straightening roller 1121 to move, so that the straightening rollers move closer or further apart. By adjusting the output speed and direction of the rotary drive 1131, the moving distance and speed of the straightening rollers can be precisely controlled to adapt to steel pipes of different diameters and degrees of curvature.

[0036] Working principle: In use, the steel pipe is passed through the straightening machine. By activating the rotary drive 1131, the worm gear 1132 rotates, which in turn rotates the worm wheel 1133. The worm wheel 1133 rotates the drive pulley 1141, which in turn moves the rack 1142. This causes the two symmetrical longitudinal straightening rollers 1111 and the transverse straightening roller 1121 to move closer together, constraining the steel pipe to the center of the straightening machine. When the longitudinal straightening rollers 1111 and the transverse straightening rollers 1121 rotate, the steel pipe is straightened. The straightening rollers are fitted with flexible protective sleeves made of rubber or plastic, which reduce the friction between the straightening rollers and the steel pipe, thereby reducing the loss of the galvanized layer of the steel pipe. When the flexible protective sleeve is damaged, the first flexible protective sleeve 1151 and the second flexible protective sleeve 1152 can be separated simply by removing the fixing bolts 1154 on the clamp 1153. The flexible protective sleeves can be easily replaced when damaged.

[0037] The above embodiments only illustrate one or more implementations of this utility model, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the appended claims.
