Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipe expander technology, specifically a stainless steel pipe expander with multiple inner diameters. Background Technology

[0002] Steel pipes without seams on their surface are called seamless steel pipes. Due to different uses, the diameter of seamless steel pipes varies. Usually, a pipe expander is used to expand the diameter of seamless pipes, which makes it easier to expand steel pipes with different inner diameters.

[0003] However, existing pipe expanders use heaters to continuously heat the steel pipe and then use a support head to expand the diameter, which is not only inefficient.

[0004] To address the aforementioned shortcomings, Chinese Patent Publication No. CN219211361U discloses an energy-efficient stainless steel seamless pipe expander, comprising a worktable. A first support base and a second support base are fixedly mounted on the top of the worktable. The seamless steel pipe body is mounted on the top of the first support base, and a mandrel is mounted on the top of the second support base. A power supply structure is fixedly mounted on the top of the worktable, and an induction coil is mounted on the top of the power supply structure. A controller is mounted on the front of the power supply structure. By incorporating components such as a collection plate, protrusions, a cover, and a push plate, the collection plate collects waste generated during the pipe expanding process. Pushing the push-pull rod and using the push plate, the waste is discharged from the collection plate, reducing cleaning difficulty. Furthermore, the induction coil enables rapid heating of the steel pipe, improving the efficiency of pipe expanding. Simultaneously, electromagnetic induction heating also achieves energy conservation.

[0005] The above-mentioned device uses a collection tray to collect waste residue during use, thereby preventing waste residue from accumulating inside the equipment. However, the installation of the above-mentioned device is relatively cumbersome, as it involves manually tightening bolts to clamp the steel pipe with two clamping blocks and manually rotating the pipe expander to insert it into the steel pipe.
