[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0021] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a pressure plate expansion fitting includes a mold mounting base 1 and a clamp mounting base 4. A flaring mold 2 and a forming mold 3 are mounted on the side of the mold mounting base 1 near the clamp mounting base 4. A clamp 5 is mounted on the clamp mounting base 4. The clamp 5 has an installation groove 8 and a pipe groove 6, which are connected to the installation groove 8. A pressure plate 9 is installed in the installation groove 8. A through hole 23 is provided on the side of the pressure plate 9 away from the mold mounting base 1. An inclined surface 19 is connected to the side of the through hole 23 near the mold mounting base 1. The inclined surface 19 is close to the mold mounting base 1. A support surface 20 is connected to one side of the mounting base 1. An inclined surface 19 is annular, and the diameter of the end of the inclined surface 19 connected to the support surface 20 is larger than the diameter of the end connected to the through hole 23. An inclined surface 21 is connected to the side of the support surface 20 near the mold mounting base 1. An annular groove 22 is connected to the side of the inclined surface 21 near the mold mounting base 1. The inclined surface 21 is annular, and the diameter of the end of the inclined surface 21 connected to the annular groove 22 is larger than the diameter of the end connected to the support surface 20. The outer diameter of the annular groove 22 is larger than the maximum diameter of the inclined surface 21. The tube 7 is first inserted into the tube groove 6 for fixation, and then the pressure plate 9 is inserted into the mounting groove 8, simultaneously causing the tube end of the tube 7 to pass through the mounting groove 8. The flaring mold 2 and the forming mold 3 act sequentially on the tube end of the tube 7, causing the tube end of the tube 7 to expand, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the outer wall of the pipe end of the pipe 7 can fit with the inclined surface 19, the support surface 20, the inclined surface 21 and the annular groove 22 inside the pressure plate 9, thereby completing the expansion joint.
[0022] Furthermore, the flaring mold 2 includes a mounting block 10. A flaring rod 11 is connected to the side of the mounting block 10 near the fixture mounting base 4. A reducing rod 13 is connected to the end of the flaring rod 11 away from the mounting block 10, and a mandrel 12 is connected to the end of the reducing rod 13 away from the flaring rod 11. The diameter of the mandrel 12 is smaller than the diameter of the flaring rod 11. The reducing rod 13 is frustoconical in shape. The diameter of the reducing rod 13 near the flaring rod 11 is the same as that of the flaring rod 11, and the diameter of the reducing rod 13 near the mandrel 12 is the same as that of the mandrel 12. The mandrel 12 extends into the tube 7 to support the portion corresponding to the through hole 23. The reducing rod 17, in conjunction with the inclined surface 19, bends the wall of the tube 7. The flaring rod 11 extends into the tube 7, enlarging the diameter of the tube 7 end.
[0023] Furthermore, there are two flaring molds 2, and the flaring rods 11 of the two flaring molds 2 have different diameters. First, the pipe end of the pipe 7 is flared by the flaring mold 2 with the smaller diameter flaring rod 11, and then the pipe end of the pipe 7 is flared by the flaring mold 2 with the larger diameter flaring rod 11. This allows the pipe end to be flared gradually, avoiding excessive deformation and damage to the pipe end caused by flaring in one step.
[0024] Furthermore, the molding die 3 includes a mounting block 2 14. A molding ring 18 is connected to the side of the mounting block 2 14 near the fixture mounting seat 4. The molding ring 18 is frustoconical. A support rod 15 is connected to the end of the molding ring 18 away from the mounting block 2 14. The diameter of the end of the molding ring 18 near the mounting block 2 14 is larger than the diameter of the end near the support rod 15. A variable diameter rod 2 17 is connected to the end of the support rod 15 away from the molding ring 18. A mandrel 2 16 is connected to the end of the variable diameter rod 2 17 away from the support rod 15. The variable diameter rod 2 17 is frustoconical. The diameter of the end of the variable diameter rod 2 17 near the support rod 15 is larger than the diameter of the end near the mandrel 2 16.
[0025] Furthermore, there are two molding dies 3, and the molding rings 18 of the two molding dies 3 have different lengths.
[0026] When the forming mold 3 with the shorter forming ring 18 acts on the end of the tube 7, the mandrel 16 is inserted into the tube 7 at the position corresponding to the through hole 23 to provide support and prevent deformation. The reducing rod 17 cooperates with the inclined surface 19 to further compress the tube 7, making the tube wall of the tube 7 fit more closely to the inclined surface 19. The support rod 15 extends into the tube 7 at the position corresponding to the support surface 20 to provide support and prevent deformation. The forming ring 18 acts on the tube 7 and cooperates with the inclined surface 21 to enlarge the end of the tube 7, making the outer wall of the tube 7 fit closely to the inclined surface 21.
[0027] When the forming mold 3 with a longer forming ring 18 acts on the end of the pipe 7, the mounting block 2 14 will press against the end of the pipe after the forming ring 18 contacts the pipe 7, squeezing the end of the pipe and pressing it into the ring groove 22 for forming, thereby increasing the contact between the end of the pipe and the pressure plate 9, making the connection between the two more secure.
[0028] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
