Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of corrugated pipe processing technology, specifically a corrugated pipe cutting device. Background Technology

[0002] In modern industry, corrugated pipes are widely used in aerospace, petrochemical, and automotive manufacturing industries due to their excellent flexibility, elasticity, and corrosion resistance. They play a crucial role in various systems, including fluid transport, displacement compensation, and vibration absorption.

[0003] However, there are still some problems in the cutting process of corrugated pipes: due to the flexibility and elasticity of the corrugated pipes themselves, traditional cutting equipment and methods are very easy to damage them. If the external force applied during cutting is too large, or if the cutting tool exerts too much pressure on the pipe during operation, the corrugated pipe will inevitably deform near the cut. Once the corrugated pipe is deformed, its original excellent performance will be greatly reduced.

[0004] Therefore, developing a new type of corrugated pipe cutting equipment that can avoid causing improper external forces to the corrugated pipe, ensure that the corrugated pipe does not deform during the cutting process, and thus ensure that its original performance is not affected, has become a key problem that urgently needs to be solved in the current industrial manufacturing field.

[0021] The technical solution of this patent will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0022] Example 1

[0023] Please see Figure 1-4 A corrugated pipe cutting device includes a base 1 and a cutting assembly 2 mounted on the base 1. A movable seat 3 is disposed on one side of the cutting assembly 2 on the base 1. The movable seat 3 is movably mounted via an electric slide rail. A three-jaw chuck 4 is mounted on the movable seat 3 and rotates via a stepper motor 5 disposed within the movable seat 3. A fixing plate 6 is also fixedly disposed on the other side of the base 1 on the cutting assembly 2. A horizontally arranged support tube 7 is fixedly disposed on the fixing plate 6. The end of the support tube 7 extends below the cutting assembly 2 and is equipped with an expansion mechanism 8. The expansion mechanism 8 includes a hollow cylinder 9 fixedly mounted on the end of the support tube 7 and multiple [unclear - possibly referring to components or elements] arranged in an array outside the hollow cylinder 9. Each movable component 10 and a drive assembly that drives multiple movable components 10 to move synchronously toward or away from the axis of the hollow cylinder 9. The movable component 10 has an arc-shaped structure. The movable seat 3 can be flexibly adjusted in position via an electric slide rail to easily adapt to corrugated pipes of different lengths. The three-jaw chuck 4 can firmly clamp one end of the corrugated pipe and rotate under the drive of the stepper motor 5, facilitating all-round cutting. The expansion mechanism 8 is set up so that during cutting, the support tube 7 is inserted from the other end of the corrugated pipe, and the drive assembly drives multiple arc-shaped movable components 10 to expand outward synchronously, supporting the cut part of the corrugated pipe from the inside out, effectively avoiding the deformation of the cut caused by external force, and ensuring the quality and original performance of the corrugated pipe after cutting.

[0024] The cutting assembly 2 includes a fixed frame 11 fixedly mounted on the base 1, a telescopic cylinder 12 mounted on the fixed frame 11, and a cutting module 13 mounted on the telescopic end of the telescopic cylinder 12.

[0025] In addition, a support plate 14 is provided on the base 1 below the cutting module 13. The support plate 14 is movably set by an electric push rod 15. The support plate 14 can be flexibly raised and lowered under the drive of the electric push rod 15. During cutting, the support plate 14 can rise to provide auxiliary support to the bottom of the corrugated pipe, further enhancing the stability of the corrugated pipe during the cutting process, preventing the corrugated pipe from shifting or deforming due to its own weight or cutting vibration, and improving the cutting quality.

[0026] Specifically, the drive assembly includes a fixed ring 16 fixedly installed inside the hollow cylinder 9, a first bevel gear 17 rotatably installed inside the fixed ring 16, and multiple second bevel gears 18 meshing around the first bevel gear 17. The first bevel gear 17 is driven by a servo motor installed inside the hollow cylinder 9. A screw 19 is fixedly installed on the axis of the second bevel gear 18. The screw 19 is rotatably installed on the fixed ring 16, and a threaded sleeve 20 is threaded on the screw 19. The threaded sleeve 20 movably penetrates the side wall of the hollow cylinder 9 and is fixedly connected to the movable part 10. The servo motor drives the first bevel gear 17 to rotate, and the multiple second bevel gears 18 drive the screw 19 to rotate synchronously, causing the threaded sleeve 20 to move along the screw 19, thereby driving the multiple movable parts 10 to move synchronously towards or away from the axis of the hollow cylinder 9. This structure can precisely control the expansion and contraction of the movable parts 10, ensuring uniform and stable support for the corrugated pipe and effectively preventing deformation of the corrugated pipe during cutting.

[0027] Furthermore, the multiple movable parts 10 are also provided with cutting grooves 21, which correspond to the cutting blades in the cutting module 13. The cutting grooves 21 provide a precise cutting path for the cutting blades, ensuring that the cutting blades can accurately act on the predetermined position when cutting the corrugated pipe, avoiding collisions or interference between the cutting blades and the movable parts 10, improving the cutting accuracy and safety, and also extending the service life of the cutting blades and the movable parts 10.

[0028] Furthermore, a pair of connecting rods 22 are symmetrically arranged between adjacent movable parts 10. The connecting rods 22 have an arc-shaped structure. One end of the connecting rod 22 is fixedly installed on the end face of one of the movable parts 10, and the other end is movably inserted into the other movable part 10. A spring 23 is also sleeved on the connecting rod 22. The combination of the connecting rod 22 and the spring 23 enhances the connection stability between the movable parts 10. During the expansion or contraction of the movable parts 10, the connecting rod 22 can transmit the force, making the movement of the movable parts 10 more coordinated.

[0029] Example 2

[0030] This embodiment is an improvement on embodiment 1, specifically as follows:

[0031] Please see Figure 4The support tube 7 has scale lines 24 on its wall and a limiting plate 25 is movably fitted on it. The limiting plate 25 is threaded with a positioning bolt 26. The scale lines 24 are used to visually display the depth of the support tube 7 inserted into the corrugated tube. With the limiting plate 25 and the positioning bolt 26, the limiting plate 25 can be adjusted to the corresponding scale position and fixed by the positioning bolt 26 according to the required length of the corrugated tube before cutting. During the cutting process, when the end of the corrugated tube touches the limiting plate 25, the cutting length can be accurately limited without the need for tedious marking operations in advance, which greatly improves the cutting efficiency.

[0032] Working principle:

[0033] First, according to the required length of the corrugated pipe to be cut, the limiting plate 25 is adjusted to a suitable position on the support tube 7 via the scale line 24 and fixed with the positioning bolt 26. Then, one end of the corrugated pipe is placed on the three-jaw chuck 4 and clamped. The stepper motor 5 is started to make the three-jaw chuck 4 drive the corrugated pipe to rotate. At the same time, the support tube 7 is inserted from the other end of the corrugated pipe. The servo motor is started to drive the first bevel gear 17 to rotate. The second bevel gear 18 causes the screw 19 to rotate, driving the screw sleeve 20 and the movable part 10 to expand outward and support the corrugated pipe cutting part from the inside. The telescopic cylinder 12 is started, and the cutting module 13 descends to cut the corrugated pipe. During the process, the support plate 14 can rise under the action of the electric push rod 15 to provide auxiliary support. The cutting blade cuts along the knife groove 21 on the movable part 10 to ensure cutting accuracy. The connecting rod 22 and spring 23 between adjacent movable parts 10 ensure coordinated and stable movement. The movable seat 3 can be adjusted in position via the electric slide rail to adapt to corrugated pipes of different lengths.

[0034] The entire equipment, through the coordinated work of its components, effectively solves the problem of easy deformation during corrugated pipe cutting, thereby improving cutting efficiency and quality.
