[0031] As Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the water swelling forming device according to the first aspect embodiment of the utility model, it includes upper die and lower die 100, upper die and lower die 100 are equipped with half cavity, the die can form water swelling forming cavity 110, first empty position 120 and second empty position 130, water swelling forming cavity 110 both sides are equipped with an opening, two openings are communicated with first empty position 120 and second empty position 130 respectively. In order to realize the guidance to upper die, upper die is connected with at least two guide columns, lower die 100 is equipped with the guide hole 140 corresponding with guide column;In order to realize the positioning to upper die, upper die is connected with several positioning columns, lower die 100 is equipped with the positioning hole 150 corresponding with positioning column.
[0032] The above structure is all the conventional setting of the existing water swelling forming device, wherein the first empty position 120 and the second empty position 130 are through to the outer surface of the mold, and the two are respectively used for the punch needle to extend into the water swelling forming cavity 110, and the water swelling forming cavity 110 is divided into a straight pipe forming cavity and a bent pipe forming cavity according to different products. When the water swelling forming cavity 110 is a straight pipe forming cavity, the two side openings of the water swelling forming cavity 110 have coaxial center axes; when the water swelling forming cavity 110 is a bent pipe forming cavity, the two side openings of the water swelling forming cavity 110 respectively have intersecting center axes. If further subdivided, if the center axes of the two side openings form an angle of ∠90°, then the water swelling forming cavity 110 is used for producing a 90° elbow joint, and if the center axes of the two side openings form an angle of ∠45°, then the water swelling forming cavity 110 is used for producing a 45° elbow joint. For ease of understanding, the following is described on the basis that the water swelling forming cavity 110 is a bent pipe forming cavity.
[0033] In order to be able to adapt to the elbow blank 200 with the screw head 210, the first empty position 120 is provided with a containing space 121 capable of accommodating the screw head 210 at a position close to the water swelling forming cavity 110. Since the outer size of the screw head 210 is greater than the outer diameter of the elbow joint, the cross-sectional size of the containing space 121 is also greater than the cross-sectional size of the water swelling forming cavity 110. When water swelling forming is needed, only the elbow blank 200 with the screw head 210 needs to be placed in the half cavity of the lower die 100, at this time the screw head 210 of the elbow blank 200 is located at the corresponding position of the containing space 121 and is positioned through the containing space 121, so as to define the position of the elbow blank 200 on the mold. After that, the upper die moves in the direction of the lower die 100 under the drive of the hydraulic cylinder, and finally the die of the upper die and the lower die 100 is completed. After the die is closed, the parting surface of the water swelling forming cavity 110 is sealed, and the water swelling forming cavity 110 is only communicated with the outside through the first empty position 120 and the second empty position 130.
[0034] On the other hand, the water bulging forming device further comprises a first punch needle 300 and a second punch needle 400, the first punch needle 300 and the second punch needle 400 are respectively connected to two power devices 500, the position of the first punch needle 300 is opposite to the position of the first avoiding space 120, the position of the second punch needle 400 is opposite to the position of the second avoiding space 130, and the two power devices 500 control the first punch needle 300 and the second punch needle 400 to respectively extend into the first avoiding space 120 and the second avoiding space 130. The first punch needle 300 or the second punch needle 400 is provided with an injection channel 330, and the injection channel 330 is communicated with an injection chamber 510 controlled by a hydraulic machine. During processing, the hydraulic machine injects liquid (usually water) into the elbow pipe blank 200 through the injection channel 330 by compressing the liquid, and the hydraulic machine continuously pressurizes, so that the water pressure in the elbow pipe blank 200 rises to 100MPa to 400MPa, and the elbow pipe blank 200 deforms under super-high water pressure and fits the water bulging forming cavity 110, thereby forming a specific shape. The key point of this technology is that the first punch needle 300 and the second punch needle 400 must seal the inner cavity of the elbow pipe blank 200 to avoid liquid leakage from the elbow pipe blank 200, and pressure relief is needed after processing to avoid high-pressure liquid being sprayed outwards at a very high speed, thereby causing damage to personnel or equipment.
[0035] Since the first avoiding space 120 is provided with a containing space 121 capable of accommodating the screw head 210 near the water bulging forming cavity 110, the technology can directly process the elbow pipe blank 200 with the screw head 210, at this time one end of the elbow pipe blank 200 is welded with the screw head 210, and the other end of the elbow pipe blank 200 remains the existing structure. In order to avoid the internal thread of the screw head 210 being deformed by the impact of high-pressure liquid during water bulging forming, thereby affecting the threaded connection after processing, it is necessary to improve the structure of the first punch needle 300.
[0036] As shown in Figure 3 , in addition to being provided with a first proximal shaft shoulder 321 at the end thereof, the first punch needle 300 is provided with a distal shaft shoulder 311 at a position away from the end, and the size of the distal shaft shoulder 311 is greater than that of the first proximal shaft shoulder 321, and the distance between the distal shaft shoulder 311 and the first proximal shaft shoulder 321 should be reasonably set. In contrast, the second punch needle 400 is only provided with a second proximal shaft shoulder 421 at the end.
[0037] The structure of the second punch pin 400 is a conventional design. During the hydroforming process, the front section of the second proximal shaft shoulder 421 can extend into the inside of the elbow blank 200. At this time, the second proximal shaft shoulder 421 is in sealing abutment with the pipe opening of the elbow blank 200, and a sealing structure is formed between the two. The high-pressure liquid in the elbow blank 200 cannot leak to the outside through the pipe opening of the elbow blank 200. The structure of the first punch pin 300 is a special design. During the hydroforming process, the first punch pin 300 gradually extends into the first avoidance position 120 until the first proximal shaft shoulder 321 of the first punch pin 300 is in sealing abutment with the narrowed position 220 between the elbow blank 200 and the screw head 210. The narrowed position 220 is formed based on the condition that the outer size of the screw head 210 is larger than the outer diameter of the elbow joint, and it exists as an inherent structure. At this time, the distal shaft shoulder 311 of the first punch pin 300 also abuts the outer side end face of the screw head 210.
[0038] Since the narrowed position 220 between the elbow blank 200 and the screw head 210 is sealed by the first proximal shaft shoulder 321 of the first punch pin 300, and the other end of the pipe blank is sealed by the second proximal shaft shoulder 421 of the second punch pin 400, the inside of the elbow blank 200 can be kept sealed during the hydroforming process. Since the position of the first proximal shaft shoulder 321 is beyond the internal thread of the screw head 210, the high-pressure liquid cannot enter the threaded section of the screw head 210 from the injection channel 330, so as to prevent the internal thread of the screw head 210 from being deformed by the impact of the ultra-high water pressure. The distal shaft shoulder 311 can limit the position of the screw head 210, so as to prevent the connection between the screw head 210 and the elbow blank 200 from being broken under the impact of the ultra-high water pressure.
[0039] In view of the tolerances of the screw head 210 and the size differences of different screw heads 210, it is quite difficult to achieve that when the first proximal shaft shoulder 321 of the first punch pin 300 is in sealing abutment with the narrowed position 220 between the elbow blank 200 and the screw head 210, the distal shaft shoulder 311 of the first punch pin 300 also abuts the outer side end face of the screw head 210. In most cases, it is only possible to ensure that the first proximal shaft shoulder 321 of the first punch pin 300 is in sealing abutment with the narrowed position 220 between the elbow blank 200 and the screw head 210, but it is not possible to simultaneously satisfy that the distal shaft shoulder 311 of the first punch pin 300 abuts the outer side end face of the screw head 210. Therefore, further improvement is needed for the structure of the first punch pin 300.
[0040] Specifically, the first punch needle 300 comprises a fixed part 310 and a movable part 320, the fixed part 310 is fixedly connected with the power device 500, and the fixed part 310 is provided with a groove 312 at an end away from the power device 500, and the groove 312 can accommodate the movable part 320. The outer circumferential surface of the movable part 320 is provided with a plurality of sliding grooves 323 arranged in the axial direction, and the fixed part 310 is provided with sliding blocks 313 slidingly connected with the sliding grooves 323, so that the movable part 320 can be axially movably nested in the fixed part 310, at this time, the first proximal shaft shoulder 321 is arranged at the end of the movable part 320, and the distal shaft shoulder 311 is arranged at the end of the fixed part 310. Since the sliding groove 323 has two limit positions, when any one of the limit positions of the sliding groove 323 abuts against the sliding block 313, at this time, the movable part 320 cannot continue to move in the predetermined direction, thereby limiting the movement path of the movable part 320 relative to the fixed part 310, so that the movable part 320 cannot be separated from the fixed part 310.
[0041] If the first punch needle 300 is provided with an injection channel 330, the movable part 320 and the fixed part 310 are both provided with the injection channel 330, but since the movable part 320 and the fixed part 310 have a separable state, when the movable part 320 is away from the fixed part 310, there is a gap 331 between the injection channel 330 of the movable part 320 and the injection channel 330 of the fixed part 310, and in the process of hydroforming, the high-pressure liquid will also fill the entire gap 331. In order to avoid the leakage of the high-pressure liquid from the connection between the movable part 320 and the fixed part 310 to the outside through the gap 331, firstly, it is necessary to ensure that the outer size of the movable part 320 and the inner size of the groove 312 are matched with high precision, and secondly, a sealing element 322 can be arranged between the end of the sliding groove 323 close to the fixed part 310 and the sliding block 313, and the sealing element 322 can be selected as a rubber gasket, when the high-pressure liquid acts on the sealing element 322, the sealing element 322 is deformed under stress to provide a sealing effect.
[0042] When working, the first punch needle 300 gradually extends into the screw head 210 of the elbow pipe blank 200 under the driving of the power device 500, until the first proximal shaft shoulder 321 of the movable part 320 seals against the narrow position 220 between the elbow pipe blank 200 and the screw head 210, since the distal shaft shoulder 311 of the fixed part 310 does not abut against the outer end face of the screw head 210 at this time, and the relative position of the movable part 320 and the fixed part 310 is adjustable, the power device 500 can continue to drive the fixed part 310 to move in the direction of the screw head 210 until the distal shaft shoulder 311 of the fixed part 310 abuts against the outer end face of the screw head 210. Not limited to the tolerance of the screw head 210 and the size difference of different screw heads 210, as long as the first proximal shaft shoulder 321 of the movable part 320 can seal against the narrow position 220 between the elbow pipe blank 200 and the screw head 210, the distal shaft shoulder 311 of the fixed part 310 can also abut against the outer end face of the screw head 210.
[0043] In the process of hydroforming, the high-pressure liquid also fills the gap 331 between the movable part 320 and the fixed part 310, at this time the high-pressure liquid exerts a force on the movable part 320, causing the first proximal shaft shoulder 321 of the movable part 320 to be able to seal against the narrow position 220 between the elbow pipe blank 200 and the screw head 210, thereby converting the thrust of the high-pressure liquid into part of the compression force of the power device 500, to effectively reduce the configuration requirements of the power device 500. Through the above-mentioned hydroforming device, the elbow joint with the screw head 210 can be directly processed to meet the needs of engineering projects.
[0044] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments of the utility model, the number of hydroforming cavities 110 is multiple, and the number of hydroforming cavities 110 determines the number of products that can be formed in a machining process. When the number of hydroforming cavities 110 is two, two elbow joints can be produced in a machining process, which is commonly known as one out of two in the industry. When the number of hydroforming cavities 110 is four, four elbow joints can be produced in a machining process, which is commonly known as one out of four in the industry.
[0045] The elbow joint machining method according to the second aspect of the utility model comprises the following steps:
[0046] S100. Adopting slitting equipment to slit the stainless steel pipe into multiple straight pipes with a fixed length.
[0047] S200. The welding equipment is used for arranging and positioning the plurality of straight pipes, and a threaded end 210 is welded at one end of each straight pipe to obtain a plurality of straight pipe blanks. Since the straight pipes have consistent directionality at various angles, the plurality of straight pipes can be automatically positioned and arranged by a vibrating disc. During welding, a manipulator grabs the threaded end 210 and moves to the end of the straight pipe, and a welding robot performs welding along the weld to realize automatic welding.
[0048] S300. The pipe bending equipment is used for arranging and positioning the plurality of straight pipe blanks, and each straight pipe blank is bent to obtain a plurality of bent pipe blanks 200. Since the straight pipe blanks have consistent directionality at various angles, the plurality of straight pipe blanks can be automatically positioned and arranged by a vibrating disc. During bending, the straight pipe blanks pass through a plurality of bending rollers, and the pipe bending equipment can bend the straight pipe blanks into the bent pipe blanks 200 due to the angle difference between the bending rollers, and the process does not need manual intervention.
[0049] S400. The hydroforming device is used for hydroforming the bent pipe blank 200 to obtain a bent pipe joint with the threaded end 210. Before the present technology, since the industry lacks a corresponding hydroforming device, the welding process of the threaded end 210 is performed after the hydroforming process. However, the bent pipe has directionality, and it is very difficult to automatically position and arrange the bent pipe by a vibrating disc, so manual assistance is needed for welding, the welding efficiency is low, and since the hydroforming device generally outputs two or four, the manual assistance method cannot meet the requirements of mass production. Since the present technology develops a hydroforming device suitable for the bent pipe blank 200, the welding process of the threaded end 210 can be performed before the bending process and the hydroforming process. The existing welding equipment can automatically position and weld a plurality of straight pipes, and the existing pipe bending equipment can automatically position and bend a plurality of straight pipe blanks, which greatly improves the production efficiency, reduces the labor intensity of workers, reduces the production cost, and provides a technical basis for automatic production.
[0050] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail above in combination with the drawings, but the present application is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art in the technical field, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present application.
