Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of muffler technology, and more specifically, it relates to a D-shaped tube forming device inside a muffler. Background Technology

[0002] A car muffler is a component used to reduce the noise generated by a motor vehicle's engine. Because the length difference between the two pipes is equal to half the wavelength of the sound waves emitted by the car, the two sound waves interfere and cancel each other out when they overlap, thus reducing the sound intensity and achieving a noise reduction effect. During the manufacturing of the D-shaped tube inside the muffler, the raw material needs to be extruded. Existing forming equipment requires replacing the forming guide rollers to facilitate the processing of different pipe models. This guide roller replacement operation is cumbersome, lacking a suitable quick-change mechanism. Furthermore, the equipment requires the pipes to be kept horizontal during loading and unloading, and lacks a suitable support and adjustment mechanism for different pipe models. Additionally, during guide roller replacement, the movable plate clamps the guide rollers, but lacks a suitable quick-limiting mechanism for disassembling and assembling the movable plate.
