Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of pipe processing equipment, specifically to an integrated machine for flattening and clamping double pipe ends. Background Technology

[0002] In many fields of modern industry, copper pipes are widely used in refrigeration systems, building water supply and drainage projects, and machinery manufacturing due to their excellent thermal conductivity, outstanding corrosion resistance, and good processing performance. In practical applications, the ends of copper pipes often need to be processed into various adaptable shapes according to the installation and usage requirements of different scenarios.

[0003] Currently, existing pipe end forming equipment on the market generally adopts a sequential processing method when dealing with situations where both ends of the pipe need to be formed, especially for the processing of short pipes with two ends. That is, one end of the short pipe is formed first, and then the other end is processed after that end is completed. This processing method has significant drawbacks. Due to the discontinuous processing, the other end of the short pipe is idle while one end is being processed, resulting in low overall processing efficiency. It is difficult to meet the production demands of large quantities of short pipes and short processing cycles, increasing the production costs of enterprises and restricting the improvement of production efficiency.

[0035] See Figure 1 The dual-end flattening and clamping integrated machine provided in this embodiment is specifically designed for the flattening and clamping processing of the two ends of short pipes. This machine consists of a feeding mechanism 100, a clamping mechanism 200, and a flattening and clamping mechanism 300. The feeding mechanism 100 carries and sequentially outputs pipes. The clamping mechanism 200 receives and clamps the pipes output by the feeding mechanism 100, and sequentially transfers the clamped pipes to the flattening and clamping stations of the flattening and clamping mechanism 300. The flattening and clamping mechanism 300 flattens and clamps the two ends of the pipe. The coordinated operation of these mechanisms significantly improves the efficiency and accuracy of processing the two ends of short pipes, achieving automated and highly efficient processing.

[0036] See Figures 1 to 4The feeding mechanism 100 is mounted on the machine base 400 and includes a hopper 110. The hopper 110 includes an interconnected storage channel 111 and a discharge channel 112. The storage channel 111 is inclined downwards along the X-axis, and the discharge channel 112 extends along the Z-axis. The inclined design of the storage channel 111 utilizes the weight of the pipes themselves to allow them to slide down automatically, reducing manual intervention and improving feeding efficiency. The discharge channel 112 can only accommodate a single row of pipes, preventing pipe stacking and blockage, and ensuring orderly pipe output. The end of the discharge channel 112 facing the machine base 400 is the discharge end, with L-shaped support sections 113 on both sides to stably support the pipes and provide reliable support for the clamping mechanism 200 to grip the pipes. In addition, the feeding mechanism 100 is also equipped with a pushing structure 120, which consists of a pushing drive component 121 and a pushing component 122. The pusher drive 121 is installed on the side wall of the storage channel 111, and the pusher 122 is connected to the output end of the pusher drive 121. The pusher drive 121 drives the pusher 122 to reciprocate along the storage channel 111, organizing the randomly stacked pipes into a single row, further improving the stability and reliability of the feeding process. Preferably, two sets of symmetrically arranged pusher structures 120 are used to enhance the pushing effect and ensure the continuous and stable operation of the feeding process.

[0037] See Figures 1 to 3 The clamping mechanism 200 consists of two sets of clamping structures 210 symmetrically arranged on the machine base 400 on both sides of the discharge end of the hopper 110. Its main function is to clamp and transfer the pipe. Each clamping structure 210 includes a clamping support 211, a clamping drive 212, and a clamping component 213. The clamping drive 212 is fixedly mounted on the clamping support 211. The clamping component 213 is slidably connected to the clamping support 211 along the Y-axis and connected to the output end of the clamping drive 212. The front end of the clamping component 213 has a groove-shaped clamping position 2131. During operation, the clamping drive 212 of the two sets of clamping structures 210 moves synchronously, driving the two clamping components 213 to move relative to each other towards the discharge end. At the discharge end, they press against each other, clamping the pipe through the clamping position 2131. After clamping, the two clamping components 213 move synchronously and at the same speed relative to each other, transferring the pipe to the designated station. When the clamping drive component 212 reverses its direction, the clamping components 213 move away from each other, releasing the pipe. During the clamping process, one of the clamping components 213 is inserted at the discharge end to act as a stop, preventing multiple pipes from being clamped simultaneously and ensuring that only a single pipe is clamped at a time. This effectively improves feeding accuracy and processing precision, providing a reliable guarantee for subsequent processing steps.

[0038] See Figure 1 and Figures 4 to 6The flattening clamping mechanism 300 is a key component for processing the double ends of pipes, consisting of a shifting structure 310 and two sets of flattening clamping structures 320. The shifting structure 310 includes a shifting drive 311 and a shifting platform 312. The shifting drive 311 is fixed to the machine base 400, and the shifting platform 312 is slidably connected to the machine base 400 along the Y-axis and connected to the output end of the shifting drive 311. The shifting drive 311 drives the shifting platform 312 to move and position above the unloading port 410 of the machine base 400, ensuring that the flattening clamping structure 320 can accurately reach the processing position. The two sets of flattening clamping structures 320 are mounted on the shifting platform 312 and arranged opposite each other in the X-axis direction. Each set of flattening clamping structures 320 consists of a moving drive 321, a moving support 322, a mold closing drive 323, and a flattening clamping mold assembly 324. A moving drive unit 321 is mounted on a shifting platform 312 and is used to drive a moving support 322 to slide along the X-axis. A mold-closing position 3221 at the front end of the moving support 322 is used to mount a flattening clamping mold assembly 324, which is connected to the mold-closing drive unit 323. The mold-closing drive unit 323 drives in the X-axis direction. The flattening clamping mold assembly 324 includes a mold-closing base 3241 and two processing molds 3243. The mold-closing base 3241 is connected to the mold-closing drive unit 323 and movably inserted into the mold-closing position 3221, and has two inclined surfaces 3242 symmetrically arranged along the Z-axis. The two processing molds 3243 are slidably disposed in the mold-closing position 3221 along the Z-axis and arranged opposite to each other, respectively slidably connected to the two inclined surfaces 3242. Each processing mold 3243 integrates a flattening part 32431 and a clamping part 32432, arranged along the Y-axis. The mold-closing drive component 323 pushes the mold-closing base 3241 to move in the X-axis direction. Utilizing the guiding principle of the inclined plane 3242, the two processing molds 3243 are closed and opened, thereby completing the flattening and clamping processing of the pipe end. This design effectively improves the integration and motion accuracy of the processing mechanism through multi-dimensional motion conversion, ensuring the stability and reliability of the processing process.

[0039] The working process of the dual-end flattening and clamping integrated machine is as follows: First, multiple pipes to be processed are placed into the storage channel 111. Under their own gravity, the pipes slide down to the discharge channel 112. After falling out through the discharge end, both ends of the pipes are stably supported by the L-shaped material support parts 113, and are in a ready-to-clip state. Next, the clamping drive components 212 of the two sets of clamping structures 210 are started synchronously, driving the two clamping parts 213 to move relative to each other towards the discharge end, clamping the pipes through the clamping positions 2131. After clamping is completed, the two clamping parts 213 move relative to each other synchronously and at the same speed, transferring the pipes to the flattening and clamping mechanism 300. At this time, the shift drive component 311 drives the shift platform 312, driving the two sets of flattening and clamping structures 320 to move, so that the flattening part 32431 is aligned with the pipe end. Subsequently, the moving drive components 321 of the two sets of flattening clamping structures 320 move synchronously, pushing the moving support base 322 to insert the pipe end between two adjacent processing molds 3243. Next, the mold closing drive component 323 drives the mold closing base 3241 to close the two processing molds 3243, completing the flattening operation of the pipe end through the flattening part 32431 of the processing mold 3243. After the flattening process is completed, the mold closing drive component 323 drives the mold closing base 3241 to open the processing mold 3243, and the shift drive component 311 moves again, causing the shift platform 312 to move the flattening clamping structure 320, aligning the flattening part 32432 with the pipe end. The mold closing drive component 323 again drives the mold closing base 3241 to close the processing mold 3243, performing flattening processing on the pipe end through the flattening part 32432. After flattening, the mold closing drive 323 drives the processing mold 3243 to open, and the moving drive 321 drives the moving support 322 to reset the relevant components, causing the pipe end to move out of the processing mold 3243. Finally, the shifting drive 311 drives the shifting platform 312 to move, exposing the unloading port 410 of the machine 400. The clamping drive 212 drives the clamping component 213 to move the pipe above the unloading port 410. The clamping component 213 moves away from the pipe, releasing it, and the pipe falls into the unloading port 410, thus completing the processing of both ends of a single pipe. The equipment then enters the next cycle, continuously completing the processing tasks of subsequent pipes.

[0040] In summary, this integrated double-pipe end flattening and clamping machine achieves full automation of short pipe end flattening and clamping through the coordinated operation of the feeding mechanism, clamping mechanism, and flattening and clamping mechanism. Compared to traditional step-by-step processing methods, this integrated machine can process both ends of the pipe simultaneously, effectively reducing the number of clamping operations and processing steps, significantly improving processing efficiency, and substantially reducing production costs. The precise design and functional integration of each component not only improves processing accuracy but also enhances the stability and reliability of the equipment operation.
