Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of pipe processing, specifically relating to a pipe bending and wrapping unit. Background Technology

[0002] Some anti-corrosion bends require the surface to be wrapped with composite tape to form an anti-corrosion layer and increase service life.

[0003] In the early days, tape wrapping was done manually, but later, a tape wrapping machine specifically designed for pipelines was developed to replace manual operation.

[0004] For the wrapping of bent pipes, the existing technology includes the structure described in CN202021973198.9. This technology, combined with a wrapping machine, uses an arc-shaped arrangement of conveyor rollers to address the bending shape of the pipe. However, due to the curved structure of the bent pipe and the lack of limiting mechanisms, the force applied to the pipe wall during the wrapping process causes the pipe to sway, affecting the wrapping effect and quality.

[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, the existing technology includes a solution described in CN202410026831.X, which involves coaxially setting a stable guide rod based on the arc-shaped trajectory of the bent pipe conveyor. The guide rod drives the bent pipe to move and also serves to limit the swaying of the bent pipe. However, its drawback is that the guide rod is only fixed to the head end of the bent pipe and forms a limit, but the tail end of the bent pipe is not limited and will still sway. Moreover, as the winding machine works closer to the tail end of the bent pipe, the swaying of the tail end of the bent pipe without a limit increases. Utility Model Content

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0032] As attached Figure 1-2 As shown, a pipe bending and wrapping machine unit is provided, wherein the machines in the wrapping machine unit are arranged at intervals along the circumference, and annular workpieces 6 are set on the wrapping machine unit. The wrapping machine unit includes a transmission unit and a working unit, wherein:

[0033] The annular workpiece 6 includes at least two bent pipes 63 and a connector, wherein the at least two bent pipes 63 are connected by the connector to form a closed annular structure.

[0034] The transmission unit includes multiple transmission mechanisms 1 arranged at intervals. The multiple transmission mechanisms 1 cover 50% to 70% or more of the circle formed by the winding unit. That is, as shown in the figure, more than ten transmission mechanisms 1 surround and occupy an angle of more than 180° of the circle. The transmission mechanism 1 includes a horizontal roller 12 for supporting the annular workpiece 6 and a vertical roller 13 for abutting and limiting the inner ring of the annular workpiece 6. In the entire annular structure, the length of the bend 63 should account for 50% to 70% or more of the total length of the annular workpiece 6, so that the vertical roller 13 of the multiple transmission mechanisms 1 can form a limit in the inner ring of the annular workpiece 6.

[0035] The phrase “vertical roller 13 that abuts against and limits the inner ring of the annular workpiece 6” refers to the vertical roller 13 abutting against the outer wall of the bent pipe 63.

[0036] The working unit includes a wrapping mechanism 4 and a pressing mechanism 2. The pressing mechanism 2 is provided with a pressure roller 21 that contacts and presses down on the bent pipe 63.

[0037] Further details are attached. Figure 3As shown, the transmission mechanism 1 includes a frame 11, which includes an L-shaped upper frame 111 and a lower frame 112. The upper frame 111 and the lower frame 112 are slidably connected in the vertical direction. Specifically, a slide rail is fixed at the top of the lower frame 112, and a slider that cooperates with the slide rail is fixed at the bottom of the upper frame 111. A lifting push rod 14 is provided between the upper frame 111 and the lower frame 112 to adjust the height of the upper frame 111.

The hinge seat is hinged to the output end of the positioning push rod 17. The rod body of the positioning push rod 17 is hinged to the second set of hinge seats, which are fixedly connected to the ground or the base plate of the entire unit. The extension and retraction direction of the positioning push rod 17 is parallel to the slide rail 16. The positioning push rod 17 drives the lower frame 112 to slide on the slide rail 16, so that the transmission mechanism 1 moves away from or close to the center of the circle formed by the winding unit.

[0039] Furthermore, the working unit also includes an epoxy machine 3 and an external wall heating machine 5. In the working unit, the pressing mechanism 2, epoxy machine 3, wrapping mechanism 4, and external wall heating machine 5 are arranged sequentially along the workpiece conveying direction. The purpose of this arrangement is that the pressing mechanism 2 is close to the wrapping mechanism 4 to provide a limit by pressing down. The epoxy machine 3 performs preliminary spraying treatment on the surface of the pipe 63 to form an anti-corrosion layer. Then, the wrapping mechanism 4 performs wrapping treatment on the surface of the pipe 63. Finally, the external wall heating machine 5 heats and heat-shrinks the composite tape to cure it.

[0040] Further details are attached. Figure 4 As shown, the pressing mechanism 2 includes a frame consisting of a crossbeam 22 and legs fixedly connected to the ends of the crossbeam 22.

[0041] Further details are attached. Figure 5As shown, the outer wall heating machine 5 includes a base 51, the top of which is fixedly connected to the body of a second lifting push rod 52, the output end of which is fixedly connected to a heating ring shell 53. The heating ring shell 53 is annular, with a heating element installed inside through which a pipe 63 passes. The heating element can be a heating wire arranged in a ring. The top of the base 51 is fixedly connected to a guide rod 54, and a guide block 531 is slidably connected to the guide rod 54. The guide block 531 is fixedly connected to the heating ring shell 53. The bottom of the base 51 is equipped with casters for easy transport and movement.

[0042] The bottom of the wrapping mechanism 4 can also be slidably connected to the slide rail 16. The slide rail 16 is fixed to the ground or the base plate of the entire unit. A connecting block extends out from one side of the bottom of the wrapping mechanism 4. A hinge seat is fixedly connected to the connecting block. The hinge seat is hinged to the output end of the positioning push rod 17. The rod body of the positioning push rod 17 is hinged to the second set of hinge seats. The second set of hinge seats is fixedly connected to the ground or the base plate of the entire unit. The extension and retraction direction of the positioning push rod 17 is parallel to the slide rail 16. The positioning push rod 17 drives the lower frame 112 to slide on the slide rail 16, so that the wrapping mechanism 4 moves away from or closer to the center of the circle formed by the arrangement of the wrapping units, which is used to adjust the position of the wrapping mechanism 4.

[0043] A set of transmission mechanisms 1 can be respectively set on the front and rear sides of the winding mechanism 4 along the feeding direction to provide reliable support and limit.

[0044] Further details are attached. Figure 2 , 6 As shown, the connecting parts between the bends 63 are a double-headed chuck 61 and / or an arc-shaped I-beam 62. The double-headed chuck 61 is existing technology, with a disc-shaped middle section and three or more support claws on both sides that can be extended outwards. It is generally used to connect the ends of two pipes during pipe processing. However, as shown in the figure, after three 90° bends 63 are connected by the double-headed chuck 61, the remaining part is less than 90°, making it difficult to connect four 90° bends 63. Therefore, an arc-shaped I-beam 62 is provided to make up for the bends. The radius of the arc-shaped I-beam 62 is preferably equal to that of the bends 63. The two ends of the arc-shaped I-beam 62 are respectively fixedly connected to mounting blocks 621. One end of the locking screw 622 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting block 621. The other end of the locking screw 622 passes through the side wall of the bend 63 and is fixedly connected to a nut to form a non-opening annular workpiece 6.

[0046] S1. Prepare a double-headed chuck 61 and / or an arc-shaped I-beam 62 according to the radius and curvature of the bend 63;

[0047] S2. Place 2-4 bent pipes 63 sequentially on the winding machine unit, and connect the 2-4 bent pipes 63 to form an open ring workpiece 6 through the double-headed chuck 61 and / or the arc-shaped I-beam 62, so that the ring workpiece 6 is assembled on the winding machine unit.

[0048] S3. Adjust the position of each transmission mechanism 1 on the slide rail 16 by positioning push rod 17 so that the circumference of the vertical roller 13 of each transmission mechanism 1 is tangent to the wall of the bend 63 of the inner ring of the annular workpiece 6.

[0049] S4. Press down the pressure roller 21 by pressing down the push rod 25 and make it abut against the top of the bent tube 63;
