Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of copper pipe flaring technology, and in particular to a double-end flaring device for air conditioning copper pipes. Background Technology

[0002] Air conditioning copper pipe fittings are important components used in air conditioning systems to transport refrigerant. They include straight pipes, U-shaped pipes, and irregularly shaped pipes. Flaring equipment for air conditioning copper pipe fittings is a tool used to flare the ends of air conditioning copper pipe fittings.

[0003] Existing double-end flaring equipment for air conditioning copper pipes can quickly and efficiently complete the double-end flaring of copper pipes in large-scale air conditioning production or installation and maintenance industries. Compared with manual flaring, it significantly shortens processing time, improves overall production or maintenance efficiency, and helps improve the economic benefits of enterprises.

[0004] However, in practical applications, existing flaring equipment typically uses clamps with fixed angles, which are difficult to adapt to the flaring requirements of copper pipes with special shapes such as U-shaped pipes and serpentine pipes. When dealing with copper pipes that are not straight, it may be necessary to manually adjust the position of the copper pipe or use additional auxiliary tools, which results in cumbersome operation and low efficiency, and is not conducive to improving the flaring efficiency of irregular copper pipe fittings.

[0005] Therefore, this application provides a double-end flaring device for air conditioning copper pipe fittings to meet the requirements. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a double-end flaring device for air conditioning copper pipe fittings.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a double-end flaring device for air conditioning copper pipe fittings, comprising:

[0008] Workbench;

[0009] A flaring assembly is placed on the top of a workbench. The flaring assembly includes a support base on the top of the workbench, a fixed clamp movably connected to the inner side of the support base, a pull rod on the fixed clamp, a sliding clamp on the side of the fixed clamp away from the pull rod, and two hydraulic telescopic rods fixedly connected to the support base near the fixed clamp. The output end of each hydraulic telescopic rod is fixedly connected to a flaring device.

[0010] A fixing assembly is placed on one side of the flared assembly and used to fix the fixing clamp to the support base. The fixing assembly includes a snap-fit ​​plate that rotates on the pull rod and a fixing plate that is fixed on the pull rod. The snap-fit ​​plate is movably connected to the support base. The snap-fit ​​plate and the support base are fixedly connected with snap-fit ​​teeth on their adjacent sides. The snap-fit ​​plate snaps into the support base through the snap-fit ​​teeth. The fixing plate snaps into the snap-fit ​​plate.

[0011] Furthermore, a slide rail is fixedly connected to the side of the workbench near the support base.

[0012] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solution are: it facilitates the adjustment of the position of the support on the workbench, enabling the support to adapt to copper tubes of different lengths, which is conducive to further improving the versatility of the flaring equipment.

[0013] Furthermore, a cylindrical slider is slidably connected to the support base on the side near the sliding clamp, and a knob is threadedly connected to the cylindrical slider on the side near the sliding clamp, and the knob is rotatably connected to the sliding clamp.

[0014] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that it enables the sliding clamp to remain stable when moving on the fixed clamp, thereby improving the cooperation between the sliding clamp and the fixed clamp in clamping the copper tube.

[0015] Furthermore, a strip slider is fixedly connected to the side of the support base near the cylindrical slider, and the cylindrical slider is slidably connected to the support base through the strip slider.

[0016] The advantage of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that it keeps the knob connected to the sliding clamp at all times.

[0017] Furthermore, a limiting plate is fixedly connected to the side of the pull rod near the fixing clamp, and a limiting groove is formed on the side of the fixing clamp near the limiting plate. The pull rod is slidably connected to the fixing clamp through the limiting groove and the limiting plate.

[0018] The advantages of adopting the above-mentioned further solution are: it facilitates the movement of the fixing clamp, and at the same time, it prevents the pull rod from separating from the fixing clamp, thereby improving the stability of the pull rod during use.

[0019] Furthermore, both the teeth and the support base have anti-slip coatings on their adjacent sides.

[0020] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the anti-slip coating can increase the friction between the support and the locking teeth, which is conducive to improving the stability of the locking teeth engaging inside the support.

[0021] Furthermore, a push plate is fixedly connected to the side of the pull rod near the locking teeth.

[0022] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that it facilitates the separation of the support base from the locking teeth on the locking plate, and makes it easier for the tie rod to move back on the support base.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0024] 1. By setting up a flaring assembly, first push the pull rod, which will cause the fixed clamp to move on the support base. In this way, the fixed clamp can rotate according to the shape of the copper tube. Then push the sliding clamp to cooperate with the fixed clamp, thereby firmly clamping the copper tube. After clamping is completed, activate the hydraulic telescopic rod in the corresponding direction. The hydraulic telescopic rod will then push the flaring device to flare the end of the copper tube. With this operation method, the operator no longer needs to manually adjust the position of the copper tube or use additional auxiliary tools to adapt to the equipment. Simply rotate the fixed clamp to quickly adjust the copper tube to the appropriate processing position. This not only reduces the difficulty of operation and labor intensity, but also significantly improves the flaring efficiency of irregularly shaped copper tubes.

[0025] 2. After setting the fixing components and adjusting, push the pull rod again. The pull rod will drive the fixing plate to move the snap-fit ​​plate. The fixing plate will snap onto the snap-fit ​​plate, thereby fixing the angle between the pull rod and the fixing clamp. Then, the fixing plate will push the snap-fit ​​plate towards the support base, so that the snap-fit ​​plate and the snap-fit ​​teeth on the support base will snap together, thereby fixing the height of the fixing clamp. Through this series of operations, the flaring equipment can maintain a fixed state after the initial adjustment, which is convenient for subsequent flaring operations and improves the flaring efficiency of the equipment for irregular copper tubes.

[0036] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0037] like Figure 1 - Figure 5 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a double-end flaring device for air conditioning copper pipe fittings, including: a workbench 1;

[0038] like Figure 2 - Figure 5 As shown, the flaring assembly 2 is placed on the top of the workbench 1. The flaring assembly 2 includes a support base 21 set on the top of the workbench 1. A fixing clamp 24 is movably connected to the inner side of the support base 21. A pull rod 26 is set on the fixing clamp 24. A sliding clamp 25 is set on the side of the fixing clamp 24 away from the pull rod 26. A hydraulic telescopic rod 22 is fixedly connected to the side of the support base 21 near the fixing clamp 24. There are two hydraulic telescopic rods 22 set on the support base 21. A flaring device 23 is fixedly connected to the output end of the hydraulic telescopic rod 22.

[0039] like Figure 3 - Figure 5As shown, the fixing component 3 is placed on one side of the flaring component 2 and is used to fix the fixing clamp 24 to the support base 21. The fixing component 3 includes a snap-fit ​​plate 31 that rotates on the pull rod 26 and a fixing plate 33 that is fixed on the pull rod 26. The snap-fit ​​plate 31 is movably connected to the support base 21. The snap-fit ​​plate 31 and the support base 21 are both fixedly connected with snap teeth 32 on their adjacent sides. The snap-fit ​​plate 31 snaps into the support base 21 through the snap teeth 32. The fixing plate 33 snaps into the snap-fit ​​plate 31. By pushing the pull rod 26, the pull rod 26 drives the fixing clamp 24 to move on the support base 21, so that the fixing clamp 24 can rotate according to the shape of the copper tube. Then, the sliding clamp 25 is pushed, so that the sliding clamp 25 cooperates with the fixing clamp 24 to clamp the copper tube. After that, the hydraulic telescopic rod 22 in the corresponding direction is activated. The hydraulic telescopic rod 22 pushes the flaring device 23 to flare the end of the copper tube, so that the operator does not need to spend any more effort. The copper tube position can be manually adjusted or additional auxiliary tools can be used to adapt to the equipment. Simply rotating the fixing clamp 24 can quickly adjust the copper tube to the appropriate processing position, reducing the difficulty of operation and labor intensity, while improving the flaring efficiency of irregular copper tubes. After the fixing clamp 24 is adjusted, push the pull rod 26. The pull rod 26 drives the fixing plate 33 to push the snap-fit ​​plate 31 to move. Since the snap-fit ​​plate 31 has a snap-fit ​​groove that matches the fixing plate 33, the fixing plate 33 will snap onto the snap-fit ​​plate 31 to fix the angle between the pull rod 26 and the fixing clamp 24. Then, the fixing plate 33 pushes the snap-fit ​​plate 31 to move towards the support base 21, so that the snap-fit ​​plate 31 and the snap-fit ​​teeth 32 on the support base 21 snap together to fix the height of the fixing clamp 24. This allows the flaring equipment to remain fixed after the initial adjustment without the need for secondary adjustment, which facilitates the subsequent flaring operation of the flaring equipment and helps to improve the flaring efficiency of the equipment.

[0040] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, a slide rail 4 is fixedly connected to the side of the workbench 1 near the support base 21. By opening a slide groove on the support base 21 that matches the slide rail 4, the support base 21 can move stably on the workbench 1, making it easy to adjust the position of the support base 21 on the workbench 1. This allows the support base 21 to be adapted to copper pipes of different lengths, which is beneficial to further improving the versatility of the flaring equipment.

[0041] Furthermore, such as Figure 4As shown, a cylindrical slider 27 is slidably connected to the support base 21 near the sliding clamp 25. A knob 28 is threadedly connected to the cylindrical slider 27 near the sliding clamp 25. The knob 28 is rotatably connected to the sliding clamp 25. By rotating the knob 28, the knob 28 drives the sliding clamp 25 to move on the fixed clamp 24 through its own thread. A regular slider is fixedly connected to the fixed clamp 24 near the sliding clamp 25. The sliding clamp 25 is slidably connected to the slider, so that the sliding clamp 25 can remain stable when moving on the fixed clamp 24. This is beneficial to improving the cooperation between the sliding clamp 25 and the fixed clamp 24 in clamping the copper tube.

[0042] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, a strip slider 29 is fixedly connected to the support base 21 on the side near the cylindrical slider 27. The cylindrical slider 27 is slidably connected to the support base 21 through the strip slider 29. Through the cooperation between the cylindrical slider 27 and the strip slider 29, the cylindrical slider 27 can move with the movement of the fixed clamp 24, so that the knob 28 always remains connected to the sliding clamp 25.

[0043] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 As shown, a limiting plate 6 is fixedly connected to the side of the pull rod 26 near the fixed clamp 24. A limiting groove 5 is formed on the side of the fixed clamp 24 near the limiting plate 6. The pull rod 26 is slidably connected to the fixed clamp 24 through the limiting groove 5 and the limiting plate 6. By installing the limiting plate 6 inside the limiting groove 5, when the pull rod 26 moves or rotates on the support base 21, the pull rod 26 can drive the fixed clamp 24 to move or rotate together through the cooperation of the limiting groove 5 and the limiting plate 6, thereby facilitating the movement of the fixed clamp 24. At the same time, the limiting groove 5 and the limiting plate 6 can also limit the pull rod 26. Since the pull rod 26 is slidably connected to the fixed clamp 24, when the pull rod 26 is pulled, the limiting groove 5 and the limiting plate 6 limit the pull rod 26, preventing the pull rod 26 from separating from the fixed clamp 24 and improving the stability of the pull rod 26 during use.

[0044] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 As shown, anti-slip coatings 34 are provided on the sides of the locking teeth 32 and the support base 21 that are close to each other. By spraying anti-slip coatings 34 on the support base 21 and the locking teeth 32, when the locking teeth 32 are engaged inside the support base 21, the anti-slip coatings 34 can increase the friction between the support base 21 and the locking teeth 32, making it difficult for the locking teeth 32 to separate from the support base 21, which is beneficial to improving the stability of the locking teeth 32 engaged inside the support base 21.

[0045] Furthermore, such as Figure 5As shown, a push plate 35 is fixedly connected to the side of the pull rod 26 near the locking teeth 32. By pulling the pull rod 26 away from the fixing clamp 24, the pull rod 26 pulls the fixing plate 33 to separate from the locking plate 31, and the push plate 35 contacts the locking plate 31. The push plate 35 pushes the locking plate 31 to move away from the support base 21, and removes the locking plate 31 from the inside of the support base 21. This facilitates the separation of the support base 21 from the locking teeth 32 on the locking plate 31, and makes it easier for the pull rod 26 to move again on the support base 21.

[0046] Working principle: such as Figure 1 - Figure 5 As shown, first place the copper tube on the top of the workbench 1, push the support seats 21 on both sides of the workbench 1, and the support seats 21 move along the slide rail 4 on the workbench 1 so that the distance between the two support seats 21 matches the length of the copper tube. Then, adjust the fixing clamp 24 according to the direction of the copper tube end. If the end is horizontal, rotate the knob 28. The knob 28 drives the sliding clamp 25 to move on the fixing clamp 24 through its own thread. The sliding clamp 25 and the fixing clamp 24 cooperate to clamp the copper tube and align the end with the horizontal flaring tool 23. If the end is vertical, rotate the pull rod 26. The pull rod 26 drives the fixing clamp 24 to rotate on the support seat 21 through the limiting groove 5 and the limiting plate 6. Use the sliding clamp 25 and the fixing clamp 24 to clamp the end and align the end with the vertical flaring tool 23. This allows for quick adjustment of the copper tube. The adjustment is made to a suitable processing position, which reduces the difficulty of operation and labor intensity, and improves the efficiency of flaring irregular copper tubes. After adjustment, the pull rod 26 is pushed to move towards the support seat 21. The pull rod 26 drives the fixing plate 33 to push the snap-fit ​​plate 31 to move. The fixing plate 33 will snap onto the snap-fit ​​plate 31 to fix the angle between the pull rod 26 and the fixing clamp 24. Then the fixing plate 33 pushes the snap-fit ​​plate 31 to move towards the support seat 21, so that the snap-fit ​​plate 31 and the snap-fit ​​teeth 32 on the support seat 21 snap into each other, and fix the height of the fixing clamp 24. When the snap-fit ​​teeth 32 snap into the inside of the support seat 21, the anti-slip coating 34 can increase the friction between the support seat 21 and the snap-fit ​​teeth 32, further improving the stability of the snap-fit ​​teeth 32 snapping into the inside of the support seat 21. Finally, the hydraulic telescopic rod 22 is activated, and the hydraulic telescopic rod 22 drives the flaring device 23 to flare the copper tube end.

[0047] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
