TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application relates to the technical field of clamping structures, in particular to an auxiliary clamping mechanism of a pipe bending machine. BACKGROUND
[0002] Automobile pipe bending refers to bending metal pipe fittings in automobiles through specific process methods to make them meet the needs of automobile design and assembly. The bent automobile pipes can adapt to the complex spatial layout inside the automobile while ensuring the functionality and safety of the pipe system, and are widely applied to many fields such as automobile body structure, chassis structure, exhaust system, fuel system, cooling system and electrical system.
[0003] In order to facilitate personalized processing, the prior art discloses an automobile pipe bending machine, which comprises a rack, three groups of pipe bending assemblies vertically arranged on the rack, the three groups of pipe bending assemblies being respectively a main pressure wheel mechanism and side pressure wheel mechanisms on both sides of the main pressure wheel mechanism, the side pressure wheel mechanisms being movably connected to the rack through sliding plates, the main pressure wheel mechanism being composed of a main pressure wheel and a main driving device for controlling the up-down movement of the main pressure wheel, the main pressure wheel being movably connected to the rack, the side pressure wheel mechanism being composed of a side pressure wheel and a side driving device for controlling the up-down movement of the side pressure wheel, the side pressure wheel being movably connected to the sliding plate, the side driving device being arranged on the sliding plate, a positioning and locking piece being arranged between the sliding plate and the rack, a driving device for driving the side pressure wheel to rotate being arranged on the rack, the driving device being connected to the side pressure wheel through a transmission mechanism, and a compensation driving device for driving the main pressure wheel to rotate being further arranged on the rack.
[0004] According to the related art, the automobile pipe is bent by the bending structure composed of the main pressure wheel and the two groups of side pressure wheels. When the automobile pipe is processed to the rear section of the current coiled material, the automobile pipe in the feeding cylinder loses the position limitation of the current coiled material, and thus is deflected under the gravity of the front end of the bent part. The deflection angle is uncontrollable, which leads to a large product error of the bending assembly when facing the deflected automobile pipe. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL
[0005] In order to reduce the possibility that the product quality is greatly reduced due to the deflection of the automobile pipe raw material after losing the position limitation in the heating cylinder, the application provides an auxiliary clamping mechanism of a pipe bending machine.

[0014] In a specific implementation scheme, a plurality of accommodating holes are formed in the clamping plate, one end of the return spring extends into the accommodating hole, and when the distance between the two clamping plates in the heating cylinder reaches the maximum value, the return spring is in a compressed state.
[0015] By adopting the above technical scheme, the designed accommodating hole can ensure the relative position of the return spring and the clamping plate under the premise that the return spring realizes the reset of the clamping plate.
[0016] In a specific implementation scheme, a plurality of positioning pin holes are formed in the clamping plate, a guide column is arranged in the positioning pin hole, and a guide groove for cooperating with the guide column is formed in the heating cylinder.
[0017] By adopting the technical scheme, the positioning pin hole and the guide column can realize control of the sliding direction of the clamping plate in cooperation with the guide groove formed on the heating cylinder.
[0018] In one specific implementation, the driving column includes a force receiving section and an execution section arranged coaxially, the force receiving section and the execution section are both in sliding connection with the heating cylinder, one end of the force receiving section is connected with the driving member, one end of the execution section is in abutment with the clamping plate, and the outer diameter of the force receiving section is larger than that of the execution section, and a spring is sleeved on the execution section.
[0019] By adopting the technical scheme, the driving column divided into the force receiving section and the execution section can realize resetting of the driving column in cooperation with the spring.
[0020] In one specific implementation, the driving member includes:
[0021] a fixed seat connected with the heating cylinder;
[0022] a force applying lever in rotational connection with the fixed seat, and one end of the force applying lever is in abutment with one end of the driving column away from the clamping plate;
[0023] a driving cylinder connected with one end of the force applying lever away from the driving column, and a piston rod of the driving cylinder can be in abutment with the heating cylinder.

[0025] In one specific implementation, the clamping plate is connected with arc-shaped extension plates, a plurality of the arc-shaped extension plates enclose a through hole for the automobile pipeline to pass through, and the thickness of the arc-shaped extension plates is greater than that of the clamping plate.
[0026] By adopting the technical scheme, the arc-shaped extension plates can increase the contact area between the automobile pipeline and the arc-shaped extension plates during clamping, and further balance the clamping stability and the clamping pressure, so as to reduce the possibility of damaging the softened automobile pipeline.

[0042] Referring to Figure 3 The clamping plate 1 is further welded with an arc-shaped lengthening plate 6, multiple arc-shaped lengthening plates 6 enclose a through hole for the automobile pipeline to pass through, and the through hole is coaxially arranged with the clamping hole, the thickness of the arc-shaped lengthening plate 6 is greater than that of the clamping plate 1, in the application, the arc-shaped lengthening plate 6 can be located on one side of the clamping plate 1 or on both sides of the clamping plate 1, as long as the contact area with the automobile pipeline can be increased, in the embodiment, the arc-shaped lengthening plate 6 is located on one side of the clamping plate 1; the contact area between the automobile pipeline and the arc-shaped lengthening plate 6 can be increased during clamping, so that a balance between clamping stability and clamping pressure can be achieved, thereby reducing the possibility of damage to the softened automobile pipeline.
[0043] Referring to Figure 4Specifically, the driving column 2 comprises a force receiving section 21 and an execution section 22, the force receiving section 21 and the execution section 22 are coaxially arranged, and the force receiving section 21 and the execution section 22 are integrally connected.

The end of the force receiving section 21 away from the execution section 22 is connected with the driving member 3. The end of the execution section 22 away from the force receiving section 21 abuts against the clamping plate 1.

When the automobile pipeline needs to be clamped, the driving member 3 applies force to the driving column 2, so that the driving column 2 slides towards the side of the automobile pipeline.
