[0027] In order to make the content of the utility model more easily and clearly understood, the utility model will be further described in detail below according to specific embodiments and in combination with the drawings.

[0028] As shown in the drawings, Figures 1-2 A steel pipe necking machine comprises:

[0029] a base 1;

[0030] a lower support arm 2 and an upper support arm 3, the middle parts of the lower support arm 2 and the upper support arm 3 are hinged to the base 1;

[0031] a telescopic drive source 4, the telescopic drive source 4 is provided with a fixed end and a movable end, the fixed end is hinged to one end of the lower support arm 2, and the movable end is hinged to one end of the upper support arm 3;

[0032] a necking upper module 5, the necking upper module 5 is fixedly installed on the other end of the upper support arm 3, and an upper die 6 is arranged on the working surface of the necking upper module 5;

[0033] a necking lower module 7, the necking lower module 7 is fixedly installed on the other end of the lower support arm 2, and a lower die 8 is arranged on the working surface of the necking lower module 7;

[0034] The telescopic drive source 4 is suitable for driving the upper support arm 3 to rotate around the hinge point, so that the necking upper module 5 of the upper support arm 3 and the necking lower module 7 of the lower support arm 2 are relatively closed to form a necking processing position.

[0035] In the embodiment, as Figure 1As shown in the figure, the fixed end of the telescopic drive source 4 is hinged to the lower support arm 2, and the movable end is hinged to the upper support arm 3. When the telescopic drive source 4 is extended, it pushes the upper support arm 3 to rotate around the hinge point of the base 1, so that the necking upper module 5 fixed on the upper support arm 3 moves downward and gradually closes with the necking lower module 7 fixed on the lower support arm 2, thereby clamping and shrinking the pipe placed on the necking lower module 7, and making the pipe head adhere to the mandrel, so as to prepare for the subsequent pipe deformation and extension process. The whole process ensures that the necking process is uniformly stressed.

[0036] Specifically, as shown in the figure, Figure 1 The telescopic drive source 4 is a hydraulic cylinder, which is provided with a cylinder body and a piston rod. The fixed end is the cylinder body, which is hinged to the lower support arm 2. The movable end is arranged on the piston rod, and the piston rod is hinged to the upper support arm 3.

[0037] Specifically, as shown in the figure, Figure 1 In the upper support arm 3, the distance from the center point of the necking upper module 5 to the hinge point of the upper support arm 3 and the base 1 is less than the distance from the hinge point of the upper support arm 3 and the telescopic drive source 4 to the hinge point of the upper support arm 3 and the base 1.

[0038] In this embodiment, as shown in the figure, Figures 1-2 The driving force generated by the telescopic drive source 4 can be amplified through the principle of lever, so that the necking upper module 5 has a larger pressure in the closing process. When the telescopic drive source 4 is extended, its force is transmitted to the necking upper module 5 through the upper support arm 3. Because the distance from the center point of the necking upper module 5 to the hinge point of the upper support arm 3 and the base 1 is short, a larger clamping force is generated at the upper die 6, which ensures that the steel pipe is stably stressed during the necking process.

[0039] Specifically, as shown in the figure, Figure 1 The necking upper module 5 is in a rectangular structure. The upper surface of the necking upper module 5 is fixed on the upper support arm 3, and the lower surface of the necking upper module 5 is provided with a groove, which constitutes the upper die 6.

[0040] Specifically, as shown in the figure, Figure 1 The cross section of the groove of the necking upper module 5 perpendicular to the extension direction of the groove is in a circular arc shape.

[0041] Specifically, as shown in the figure, Figure 1 The necking lower module 7 is in a rectangular structure. The lower surface of the necking lower module 7 is fixed on the lower support arm 2, and the upper surface of the necking lower module 7 is provided with a groove, which constitutes the lower die 8.

[0042] Specifically, as shown in the figure, Figure 1 The cross section of the groove of the necking lower module 7 perpendicular to the extension direction of the groove is in a circular arc shape.

[0043] Specifically, as shown in the figure, Figure 1As shown, the necking upper module 5 and the necking lower module 7 are both made of 45Mn2 material.

[0044] In the embodiment, as shown in Figures 1-2 the necking upper module 5 and the necking lower module 7 are fixedly installed on the upper support arm 3 and the lower support arm 2 respectively, and realize the cooperative clamping and necking of the steel pipe through the respective grooves. The upper surface of the necking lower module 7 is provided with a groove with a circular arc cross section, which constitutes the lower die neck 8 as the working surface for placing and forming the steel pipe. The circular arc cross section of the lower die neck 8 is designed to correspond to the upper die neck 6, and together forms a complete die cavity to ensure that the steel pipe can be uniformly deformed according to the predetermined shape during the necking process. When the upper support arm 3 moves downward under the action of the telescopic drive source 4, the necking upper module 5 and the necking lower module 7 gradually close, and the die cavity formed by the grooves exerts pressure on the steel pipe to promote its diameter reduction and forming.

[0045] Specifically, as shown in Figures 1-2 the upper support arm 3 is provided with an abutting table at the lower end surface of the side arm close to the hinge joint with the telescopic drive source 4, and the base 1 is provided with a limiting column 11 extending upward, when the telescopic drive source 4 drives the upper support arm 3 to rotate around the hinge joint to the predetermined position, the abutting table abuts against the limiting column 11 to limit the rotation of the upper support arm 3.

[0046] Specifically, as shown in Figures 1-2 the limiting column 11 is provided with a buffer pad (not shown in the figure).

[0047] Specifically, as shown in Figure 1 the base 1 is installed with a hinge shaft, and the upper support arm 3 and the lower support arm 2 are respectively hingedly connected to the hinge shaft through bearing structures, so that the upper support arm 3 and the lower support arm 2 are adapted to independently rotate coaxially around the hinge shaft.

[0048] In the embodiment, as shown in Figures 1-2 the design of the upper support arm 3 includes a limiting mechanism to ensure that its movement range is within a certain range. The upper support arm 3 is provided with an abutting table at the lower end surface of the side arm close to the hinge joint with the telescopic drive source 4, and the abutting table is used in cooperation with the limiting column 11 extending upward on the base 1. When the necking process is completed, the telescopic drive source 4 is retracted to drive the upper support arm 3 to rotate reversely around the hinge joint until the abutting table of the upper support arm 3 contacts with the limiting column 11 on the base 1, at which time the rotation of the upper support arm 3 is stopped.

[0049] The base 1 is provided with a hinged shaft as a common rotation center of the upper support arm 3 and the lower support arm 2. The upper support arm 3 and the lower support arm 2 are respectively hinged on the hinged shaft through bearing structures, so that the upper support arm 3 and the lower support arm 2 can independently rotate around the same axis. When the telescopic driving source 4 works, the upper support arm 3 rotates around the hinged shaft, while the lower support arm 2 remains relatively static, so as to realize the relative movement between the upper die module 5 and the lower die module 7. The material of the buffer pad can be rubber. The buffer pad is provided with a groove, and is installed on the limiting column 11 through the groove. When the telescopic driving source 4 is contracted, the abutting table of the upper support arm 3 is in contact with the limiting column 11 through the buffer pad, which reduces the noise and the abrasion of the limiting column 11 during the collision, and prolongs the service life of the telescopic driving source 4.

[0050] The above specific embodiments further specifically describe the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects solved by the utility model. It should be understood that the above description is only for specific embodiments of the utility model and is not used to limit the utility model. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
