Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical processing equipment technology, and in particular to a punching and flanging mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] Metal pipe fittings (such as round pipes, square pipes, and special-shaped pipes) often require punching equipment during processing. However, metal pipe punching equipment faces the common technical challenge of waste residue in the pipe processing field. Taking a reciprocating punching equipment for metal pipe fittings disclosed in Chinese Patent 202411648866.3 as an example, its main structural components are "including a punching unit and a support component, wherein the punching unit includes a punching column, which can reciprocate to punch the pipe fitting, and the support component can support the inner wall of the pipe fitting"; its punching working principle is "one end of the metal pipe fitting is placed in a first sleeve, a first motor drives a turntable to rotate, the driving column moves downward from the highest position as the turntable rotates, the driving column drives a strip ring to move downward, the strip ring drives the punching column to move downward, and the punching column punches and flangs the metal pipe fitting."

This prevents the achievement of punching multiple holes at once and significantly reduces production line efficiency. Therefore, there is a need to disclose a punching and flanging mechanism for metal tube processing to overcome the above-mentioned defects. Utility Model Content
