Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipe fitting processing technology, and in particular to a device for positioning the center hole of punching in pipe fitting processing. Background Technology
[0002] Pipe fittings are a collective term for components in a piping system that serve functions such as connection, control, direction change, flow diversion, sealing, and support. Main products include seamless steel pipes of various diameters made of special steel, stainless steel, and carbon steel; low, medium, and high-pressure boiler tubes; oil drilling pipes; various tees, crosses, valves, reducers, and other elbows; various stainless steel flanges and forged flanges; various pipe supports, instruments, oil well blowout preventers, and other pipe accessories; and various polyethylene and polypropylene pipes, totaling 16 major categories, over 370 varieties, and more than 3500 specifications. Manufacturing processes primarily employ hot-rolled straight seam welding, spiral double-sided submerged arc welding, and forging... We offer a wide range of processing methods, including forging, pressing, medium-frequency induction molding, cold forming, and hot extrusion. Our pipes can be processed up to 2020 mm in diameter. Our products are widely used in municipal, petrochemical, West-East Gas Pipeline, shipbuilding, and nuclear power engineering projects. Our annual designed processing capacity is 25 million tons. Currently, some pipe fittings require internal bore machining, but existing equipment cannot accurately position the bore, leading to positional shifts after drilling. Furthermore, the stability of existing fixing devices is low during drilling, causing the pipe fitting to wobble within the device, resulting in inaccurate drilling.

[0045] Working principle: When drilling a hole in pipe fitting 5, the operator aligns pipe fitting 5 with positioning pin 4 and then places it onto positioning pin 4. The equipment is then started via the control panel, activating two electric rollers 6, which rotate pipe fitting 5 to adjust its drilling position. Next, the support servo motor 8 is activated, driving the linkage shaft 14 to rotate. The linkage shaft 14 rotates, driving the linkage gear 13. The linkage gear 13 has multiple linkage holes 15.

The supporting metal block 12 moves to clamp and support the pipe 5 from the inside. Then, two synchronous motors 23 are started.

The rotation of the driven bevel gear 20 drives the flat threaded disc 19 to rotate. The rotation of the flat threaded disc 19 drives multiple limiting racks 17 to move. The movement of the multiple limiting racks 17 drives the corresponding limiting clamps 18 to move closer to each other to clamp the pipe 5 and complete the external limiting. Then, the staff starts the hydraulic press 2 through the control panel. The hydraulic press 2 drives the punch head 3 at the bottom to move. The punch head 3 and the slot on the positioning pin 4 cooperate to open the pipe 5.
[0046] The technological advancements of this invention compared to existing technologies are as follows: it allows for external clamping of the pipe fitting 5, enabling stable installation on the equipment without the need for manual handling, thus greatly saving manpower and labor costs. Simultaneously, it provides internal clamping and support for the pipe fitting 5, making it more stable during drilling and reducing the impact of the gap between the positioning pin 4 and the pipe fitting 5 on drilling, thereby increasing the practicality and stability of the equipment.
