Description

Technical Field

[0002] Metal pipes are tubular products made of metal materials and are widely used in construction, machinery, chemical, petroleum, natural gas and other fields. Thin-walled metal pipes are a type of metal product with special properties and wide applications.

[0003] The tension straightening device for metal pipe processing disclosed in CN 214442013 U uses an electromagnetic heating controller and an electromagnetic induction coil to heat the metal pipe rapidly until it turns red, thereby softening the structure of the metal pipe and facilitating subsequent tension straightening.

[0004] This metal pipe processing tension straightening device uses an electromagnetic heating controller and an electromagnetic induction coil to inductively heat the metal pipe, softening its structure and facilitating straightening. However, the device lacks a structure to rotate the metal pipe during straightening. Without rotating the pipe, the straightening device can only act on a localized area of ​​the pipe, making it difficult to fully cover all parts. This can easily lead to over-straightening in some areas while other parts remain bent, resulting in uneven straightening and affecting the pipe's straightness and overall quality. Therefore, improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0035] Example 2

[0036] Please see Figure 1-5 Furthermore, based on Embodiment 1, the clamping assembly 42 further includes a connecting plate 423, which is fixedly connected to the top and bottom right side of the fixed disk 416.
