[0033] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below. Example
[0034] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this embodiment provides an adjustable horizontal frame, including a frame 1. A lower roller 3 and an upper roller 2 are rotatably mounted on the frame 1. The lower roller 3 and upper roller 2, arranged side-by-side, have their distance adjustable via an adjustment mechanism 4. Both the lower roller 3 and upper roller 2 include a rotating shaft 31 and a fastener 32. Figure 1 As shown, the upper roller 2 also includes an upper fixed roller 21 and an upper adjusting roller 22. The upper fixed roller 21 is fixedly sleeved on the rotating shaft 31, and the upper adjusting roller 22 is fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft 31 by fasteners 32. Both the upper fixed roller 21 and the upper adjusting roller 22 have a first annular groove 23 on their opposite sidewall circumferences. The cross-section of the first annular groove 23 is a quarter-circular arc groove. The lower roller 3 also includes a lower fixed roller 33 and a lower adjusting roller 34. The lower fixed roller 33 is fixedly sleeved on the rotating shaft 31, and the lower adjusting roller 34 is fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft 31 by fasteners 32. Both the lower fixed roller 33 and the lower adjusting roller have a second annular groove 35 on their opposite sidewall circumferences. The cross-section of the second annular groove 35 is a sloping surface. Figure 1 As shown, the adjusting mechanism 4 includes a connecting shaft 41, with both ends of the connecting shaft 41 rotatably mounted on the frame 1. One end of the connecting shaft 41 is connected to a motor 42, and the base of the motor 42 is fixedly connected to the frame 1. Two spur gears 43 are fixedly sleeved on the connecting shaft 41, and the spur gears 43 mesh with a rack 44. Adjusting seats 45 are installed at both ends of each rotating shaft 31. The adjusting seats can be considered as bearing seats. The adjusting seats 45 slide along the height of the frame 1 and have an embedding groove 451 into which inserts 46 are embedded. One end of the rack 44 is fixedly connected to the insert 46, and the rack slides along the direction of the frame. The two racks 44 correspond one-to-one with the two inserts 46. The motor 42 is connected to the connecting shaft 41 via a reducer 5 as described in the prior art. The drive motor 42 works, and the motor 42 drives the connecting shaft 41 to rotate. The connecting shaft 41 drives the two spur gears 43 on its rod to rotate. The spur gears 43 drive the rack 44 to move up and down. The rack 44 drives the two adjusting seats 45 to rise and fall synchronously through the insert block 46.
[0035] The steel pipe to be pressed is placed on the lower adjusting roller 34 and rests on the two second annular grooves. The adjusting mechanism 4 then operates, causing the upper roller 2 to move closer to the steel pipe, bringing the two first annular grooves 23 into contact with the pipe. This drives the upper roller 2 and lower roller 3 to rotate, causing the first annular grooves 23 and second annular grooves 35 to rotate and press the steel pipe, continuously conveying it forward. The quarter-circle grooves and sloping surfaces adapt to steel pipes of different sizes. The quarter-circle cross-section provides a better contact area, accommodating steel pipes of different diameters. The sloping surface may help adjust the pressure distribution and prevent steel pipe deformation. The adjusting mechanism 4 moves the rollers closer for rapid adjustment, adapting to different specifications and reducing downtime. Figure 1 As shown, it should be noted that the steel pipe to be pressed is a pipe with a long notch, and the steel pipe is formed by bending a blank into a pipe.
[0036] like Figures 2-4 As shown, the fastener 32 includes a first ring 320 and a second ring 321, with the second ring 321 coaxially fixed to the inner ring of the first ring 320. Multiple first threaded holes 3201 are formed on one side of the first ring 320, and each first threaded hole 3201 is threaded with a bolt 324. The rotating shaft 31 has an annular protrusion 312. Multiple second threaded holes 340 are formed on the circumference of the upper adjusting roller 22 (opposite to the first annular groove 23) and the lower adjusting roller 34 (opposite to the second annular groove 35). Bolts 324 are threaded into the second threaded holes 340, and the first threaded holes 3201 and second threaded holes 340 correspond one-to-one. One end of the first ring 320 is engaged with the corner of the second ring 321 at the annular protrusion 312, and the other end of the first ring 320 abuts against the side of the upper adjusting roller 22 opposite to the first annular groove 23 or the side of the lower adjusting roller 34 opposite to the second annular groove 35. When it is necessary to fix the lower adjusting roller 34 or the upper adjusting roller 22 onto the rotating shaft 31, one end of the first ring body 320 and the corner of the second ring body 321 are engaged at the annular protrusion 312. The bolt 324 passes through the first threaded hole 3201 and the second threaded hole 340 in sequence and is screwed to both. This completes the fixing of the lower adjusting roller 34 or the upper adjusting roller 22 onto the rotating shaft 31.
[0037] like Figure 3 , Figure 4As shown, the fastener 32 also includes multiple washers 323. Each washer 323 has multiple through holes 3231 around its circumference, each through hole 3231 corresponding to a multiple first threaded hole 3201. A bolt 324 passes sequentially through the first threaded hole 3201, the through hole 3231, and the second threaded hole 340. The bolt 324 is either a slotted bolt 324 or a Phillips head bolt 324. The multiple washers 323 are fitted onto the rotating shaft 31, and are located between the upper adjusting roller 22 or the lower adjusting roller 34 and the annular protrusion 312. The first ring body 320 abuts against the washers 323. Multiple washers 323 are located between the upper adjusting roller 22 or the lower adjusting roller 34 and the annular protrusion 312. This allows for the use of different numbers of washers 323 depending on the required size of the steel pipe, thus adjusting the distance between the upper adjusting roller 22 and the upper fixed roller 21, or between the lower adjusting roller 34 and the lower fixed roller 33. Multiple pre-embedded holes 3211 are formed around the circumference of the first ring body 320. These holes correspond one-to-one with the first threaded hole 3201, and are coaxially connected. The main purpose of the pre-embedded holes 3211 is to prevent the bolts 324 from being exposed. A key 311 is fixedly installed on the rotating shaft 31 along its axial direction. Sliding grooves are formed on the inner rings of both the upper adjusting roller 22 and the lower adjusting roller 34 along their axial direction. The key 311 is slidably inserted into the sliding grooves, allowing the upper adjusting roller 22 or the lower adjusting roller 34 to move along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 31.
[0038] Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
