Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of aluminum tube processing equipment, and more specifically, to a device for flaring both ends of an aluminum tube. Background Technology

[0002] Due to cost constraints, the GIS unidirectional shell uses a small-diameter pipe. However, to meet the special discharge requirements, an intermediate shell needs to be added at the connection end of each shell section to connect the insulating basin and achieve the transition connection of the GIS. Therefore, the ends of the original cylinder need to be flared to meet the size requirements for connecting the insulating basin.

[0003] In the prior art, flaring equipment can usually only flare one end of the aluminum tube. For example, an aluminum tube flaring machine disclosed in patent publication number CN204321000U can effectively prevent the aluminum tube from shifting position during the flaring process by placing the aluminum tube to be flared on the machine frame and fixing the aluminum tube with a limiting mechanism and a positioning clamp. At the same time, the flaring mechanism is driven by a drive mechanism to perform the flaring operation on the aluminum tube.

[0004] The above-mentioned equipment has the following problems during use: it cannot adapt to the flaring of aluminum tubes of different lengths; it cannot flare both ends of the aluminum tube at the same time. After flaring one end of the aluminum tube, the aluminum tube needs to be disassembled and flipped before the other end can be flared, which is a cumbersome operation; at the same time, the equipment uses a direct punching method for flaring, which can easily cause cracks at the end of the aluminum tube. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a device for flaring both ends of aluminum tubes to improve flaring efficiency and quality.

The telescopic drive rod is used to drive the telescopic flaring rod to rotate. A first push cylinder is fixedly installed on the outside of the slide block. The first push cylinder is used to control the extension and retraction of the telescopic flaring rod.

[0010] Preferably, the telescopic flaring rod includes a sleeve, a top post, and a flaring disc. The sleeve is fixedly installed on the inner surface of the slide block, the top post is inserted into the sleeve, the flaring disc is fixedly installed on the outer end of the top post, and the piston shaft of the first push cylinder is movably inserted into the sleeve.

[0011] Preferably, the telescopic drive rod includes a slide tube, a gear, and a drive shaft.

The slide tube is sleeved on the surface of the drive shaft, and the gear is fixedly installed on the outer end of the slide tube. A ring tooth groove is formed on the surface of the top column near the flared plate, and the gear meshes with the ring tooth groove.

[0012] Preferably, the clamping mechanism includes two clamping plates, one of which is fixedly installed at the middle position of the upper surface of the conveying base, and both ends of the two clamping plates are connected by a second push cylinder. A U-shaped groove is formed at the middle position of the opposite side surface of the two clamping plates.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are:

[0016] This utility model can quickly fix the aluminum tube through the clamping mechanism to ensure the stability of the aluminum tube during flaring; start the two lead screw motors to make the two slides approach the two ends of the aluminum tube respectively, and then start the first push cylinder and motor. The first push cylinder will push the flaring plate into the open end of the aluminum tube, thereby adapting to the flaring work of the two ends of aluminum tubes of different lengths.
