Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to pipe processing equipment, and more particularly to a three-station fully automatic pipe shrinking, end-packing and punching integrated machine. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous development of modern industry, pipes are being used more and more widely. As an important pipe processing equipment, the pipe shrinking machine plays an indispensable role in the pipe processing field. It is widely used in the pipe end forming processing of pipe fittings, automotive oil pipes, air pipes, water pipes, air conditioning pipes and other connection parts, and is an ideal pipe end forming processing equipment.
[0003] The working principle of the tube shrinking machine is as follows: Under normal conditions, the end of the tube is shrunk. The end of the tube enters the deformation zone under the action of axial force, and plastic deformation of tangential shrinkage occurs in the deformation zone. Then it enters the stable zone and finally forms a reduced end diameter.
[0004] In actual pipe processing, depending on the intended use of the pipe, it is sometimes necessary to ferrule the end face of the shrunken section and punch holes in the shrunken section. Currently, most shrunken pipe machines on the market can only perform pipe end shrunking. If ferrule-ferrule end face shrunking is required, a separate ferrule-ferrule machine or a ferrule-ferrule die needs to be installed, or the shrunken pipe die on the shrunken pipe machine needs to be replaced with a ferrule-ferrule die. If punching holes in the shrunken section is required, a separate punching machine is needed. This results in two problems: firstly, it requires installation space for at least two machines, occupying a large overall space; secondly, the pipe needs to be clamped and positioned multiple times, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and multiple clamping and positioning can easily affect the positioning accuracy, thus affecting the final pipe processing quality and failing to improve the pipe qualification rate. Utility Model Content
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a three-station fully automatic tube shrinking, wrapping and punching machine that is simple in structure, easy to operate and integrates tube shrinking, end wrapping and punching. When performing tube shrinking, end wrapping and punching processes on tubes, only one clamping and positioning of the tube is required, which saves time and effort, greatly improves processing efficiency, and has high overall processing accuracy, which greatly improves the pass rate of tube processing.
[0006] To solve the above problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: the three-station fully automatic tube shrinking, end-wrapping, and punching integrated machine includes: a machine base, on which a clamping assembly for clamping the tube is provided; and a rear positioning assembly is provided on the machine base, which is located behind the clamping assembly. The rear positioning assembly is used to limit the rear end of the tube to prevent the tube from moving backward due to the shrinking force, end-wrapping force, etc., which would affect the clamping reliability of the clamping assembly. The pallet fixing seat is mounted on the machine base via a front-to-back sliding device, and the pallet fixing seat can move back and forth relative to the machine base via the front-to-back sliding device. The pallet fixing seat is located in front of the clamping assembly. The pallet is mounted on the pallet fixing seat via a left-to-right sliding device, and the pallet can move left and right relative to the pallet fixing seat via the left-to-right sliding device. A tube shrinking die, a punching die, and a broaching die are arranged sequentially from left to right on the pallet. A punching assembly is mounted on the punching die.

An upper clamping die is fixedly connected to the end of the piston rod of the clamping cylinder, and the upper clamping die is located above the lower clamping die. When the piston rod of the clamping cylinder retracts inward or extends outward, it can drive the upper clamping die to move up and down relative to the lower clamping die, thereby loosening or clamping the pipe located between the lower clamping die and the upper clamping die.
[0008] Furthermore, in the aforementioned three-station fully automatic tube shrinking, end-packing, and punching integrated machine, the structure of the rear positioning assembly is as follows: a rear positioning seat is fixedly installed on the machine base, and a connecting threaded hole is provided on the rear positioning seat. An adjusting rod, through its external threaded section, is sequentially screwed onto a rear locking nut and then through the connecting threaded hole, extending outward from the front of the connecting threaded hole. A rear positioning baffle is fixedly connected to the end of the adjusting rod extending outward from the connecting threaded hole. In use, the distance by which the rear positioning baffle extends outward from the connecting threaded hole can be adjusted according to the actual length of the tube, the length of the shrunk section, and other requirements.
[0009] Furthermore, in the aforementioned three-station fully automatic pipe shrinking, end-packing, and punching integrated machine, a front positioning assembly is provided on the machine base. The front positioning assembly has the following structure: a front positioning cylinder is fixedly mounted on the machine base; a connecting rod is fixedly mounted at the end of the piston rod of the front positioning cylinder; and a front positioning baffle is fixedly mounted at the end of the connecting rod. When the piston rod of the front positioning cylinder extends outward, it causes the front positioning baffle to block in front of the clamping assembly. The front positioning assembly is used to limit the front end of the pipe, preventing the pipe from exceeding the limited position.
[0010] Furthermore, in the aforementioned three-station fully automatic tube shrinking, end-packing, and punching integrated machine, a front positioning baffle seat is fixedly installed at the end of the connecting rod. The front positioning baffle seat has a through-hole mounting threaded hole. A threaded rod is fixedly connected to the front positioning baffle, and the threaded rod is screwed into the mounting threaded hole and the front locking nut in sequence. During use, the distance of the front positioning baffle in front of the clamping assembly can be adjusted according to the requirements of the tube length, the length of the shrunk section, etc.
[0011] Furthermore, in the aforementioned three-station fully automatic tube shrinking, punching, and purging integrated machine, the structure of the front and rear sliding device is as follows: the pallet fixing seat is set on the machine base via a tube shrinking linear guide rail, a main cylinder seat is fixedly set on the machine base, the cylinder body of the main cylinder is fixedly installed on the main cylinder seat, and the end of the piston rod of the main cylinder is fixedly connected to the pallet fixing seat; when the piston rod of the main cylinder retracts inward or extends outward, it can push the pallet fixing seat to move back and forth along the tube shrinking linear guide rail.
[0012] Furthermore, in the aforementioned three-station fully automatic tube shrinking, punching, and purging integrated machine, the structure of the left and right sliding device is as follows: the pallet is mounted on the pallet fixing seat via a mold changing linear guide rail; a mold changing servo motor is fixedly mounted on the pallet fixing seat; the motor shaft of the mold changing servo motor is fixedly connected to a ball screw; a bearing seat for the ball screw at the connection between the motor shaft of the mold changing servo motor and the ball screw is provided on the pallet fixing seat; a support seat for the other end of the ball screw is provided on the pallet fixing seat; and an adjusting threaded hole that mates with the ball screw is provided on the pallet.

When it is necessary to clamp the pipe 20, the piston rod of the clamping cylinder 21 extends outwards, causing the upper clamping mold 22 to move downwards until the upper clamping mold 22 clamps the pipe 20 between the upper clamping mold 22 and the lower clamping mold 24. When it is necessary to release the pipe 20, the piston rod of the clamping cylinder 21 retracts inwards, causing the upper clamping mold 22 to move upwards, releasing the pipe 20.
[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, a rear positioning assembly 3 is provided on the base 1, and the rear positioning assembly 3 is located behind the clamping assembly 2. The structure of the rear positioning assembly 3 in this embodiment is as follows: a rear positioning seat 31 is fixedly provided on the base 1, and a connecting threaded hole is provided on the rear positioning seat 31.

[0027] The pallet fixing seat 6 is mounted on the machine base 1 via a front-to-back sliding device, and the pallet fixing seat 6 can move back and forth relative to the machine base 1 via the front-to-back sliding device. The pallet fixing seat 6 is located in front of the clamping assembly 2.

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the tray 7 is mounted on the tray fixing base 6 via a left-right sliding device, and the tray 7 can move left and right relative to the tray fixing base 6 via the left-right sliding device.

The adjusting threaded hole can be directly formed on the pallet 6, or a mounting hole can be formed on the pallet 6, and then a connecting sleeve 74 with the adjusting threaded hole can be fixedly fitted into the mounting hole.
[0029] Assuming that when the mold-changing servo motor 71 rotates forward, driving the ball screw 73 to rotate, the support plate 7 moves to the left through the helical transmission formed between the adjusting threaded hole and the ball screw 73. Then, when the mold-changing servo motor 71 rotates in reverse, driving the ball screw 73 to rotate, the support plate 7 moves to the right through the helical transmission formed between the adjusting threaded hole and the ball screw 73.
[0030] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, a tube-shrinking mold 8, a punching mold 9, and a broaching mold 10 are arranged sequentially from left to right on the support plate 7.

Punches 43 corresponding to the number and position of punches 91 on the punching die 9 are provided on the punch seat 42. A guide die 44 is also fixedly installed on the top of the punching die 9, and guide holes 45 corresponding to the number and position of each punch 43 are opened in the guide die 44.
[0031] like Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, in this embodiment, a front positioning assembly 5 is provided on the base 1. The structure of the front positioning assembly 5 is as follows: a front positioning cylinder 51 is fixedly installed on the base 1, a connecting rod 52 is fixedly provided at the end of the piston rod of the front positioning cylinder 51, and a front positioning baffle 53 is fixedly provided at the end of the connecting rod 52. When the piston rod of the front positioning cylinder 51 extends outward, the front positioning baffle 53 can block the front of the clamping assembly 2.
[0032] More preferably, in this embodiment, a front positioning baffle seat is fixedly provided at the end of the connecting rod 52, and a through mounting threaded hole is provided on the front positioning baffle seat. A threaded rod 54 is fixedly connected to the front positioning baffle 53, and the threaded rod 54 is screwed into the mounting threaded hole and the front locking nut 55 in sequence.
[0033] The working principle of the above-mentioned three-station fully automatic tube shrinking, punching and perforating machine is as follows:
[0034] First, place the pipe 20 in the clamping assembly 2, activate the front positioning cylinder 51 to extend the front positioning baffle 53 into the front of the clamping assembly 2, then place the front end of the pipe 20 against the front positioning baffle 53, and place the rear positioning baffle 34 against the rear end of the pipe 20 to lock the rear positioning baffle 20 in this position, so that the clamping assembly 2 clamps the pipe 20. Then activate the front positioning cylinder 51 to return the front positioning baffle 53 to its original position.
[0035] Next, the left and right sliding device moves the support plate 7 to the left or right until the shrinking mold 8 is positioned directly in front of the pipe 20. Then, the front and rear sliding device moves the support plate fixing seat 6 backward, driving the shrinking mold 8 backward to perform shrinking operation on the front end of the pipe 20. After the shrinking operation is completed, the front and rear sliding device moves the support plate fixing seat 6 forward to the original front position.
[0036] Next, the pallet 7 is moved to the left by the left and right sliding device until the punching die 9 is moved to the front of the pipe 20. Then, the pallet fixing seat 6 is moved backward by the front and back sliding device until the tube shrinking part of the pipe 20 enters the punching die 9. Then, the tube shrinking part of the pipe is punched by the punching assembly 4. After punching is completed, the pallet fixing seat 6 is moved forward to the original front position by the front and back sliding device.
[0037] Next, the pallet 7 is moved to the left by the left and right sliding device until the end-closing mold 10 is moved to the front of the pipe 20. Then, the pallet fixing seat 6 is moved backward by the front and back sliding device to perform end-closing operation on the front end of the pipe 20. After the end-closing operation is completed, the pallet fixing seat 6 is moved forward to the original front position by the front and back sliding device.
[0038] After removing the tube 20 from the clamping assembly 2, repeat the above steps to perform tube shrinking, punching, and end-wrapping processing on the next tube 20.
[0039] The aforementioned three-station fully automatic tube shrinking, end-wrapping, and punching machine integrates tube shrinking, end-wrapping, and punching on the same machine. Compared with the traditional separate tube shrinking, punching, and end-wrapping equipment, it occupies significantly less space, saves time and labor, and greatly improves processing efficiency. In addition, using this equipment, the three processes of tube shrinking, end-wrapping, and punching can be completed in a single clamping, which greatly improves processing accuracy and results in a high product qualification rate.
