[0017] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0018] This utility model provides a CNC lathe fixture for processing faucet pipe bends, which has the following advantages:

[0019] 1. This CNC lathe fixture for processing faucet bends, through the arrangement of a lower fixture, adjusting components, an upper fixture, and miniature rollers, allows for efficient use. The fixture is installed behind the bending device on the CNC lathe. The pipe to be processed into a bend is placed between the lower and upper fixture components. Activating the electro-hydraulic lever causes its inner rod to push the upper fixture against the top of the pipe. During bending, the miniature rollers facilitate smoother movement of the pipe within the fixture, enabling clamping of pipes of varying diameters. This also facilitates pipe movement, preventing damage to the pipe from the fixture's interior during faucet bend processing and improving the fixture's practicality and adaptability.

[0020] 2. This CNC lathe fixture for faucet bending uses a support component and a limiting assembly. During use, after fixing the support component to the lathe according to the height of the CNC lathe's bending equipment, pressing the limiting clip activates the elastic return spring. The deformation of the return spring due to compression causes the telescopic support rod and the limiting clip to retract towards the receiving hole, moving the lower part of the fixture downwards. This causes the limiting clip to change position in the adjustment hole until it reaches the appropriate adjustment hole. The return spring then restores its elastic potential energy, pushing the limiting clip into the adjustment hole and fixing the height. This achieves the function of adjusting the fixture's support height, avoiding the need to customize different fixtures for different bending equipment heights on the CNC lathe, thus increasing production costs and improving the ease of use of the fixture.

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0027] Please see Figures 1 to 4This utility model provides a technical solution: a CNC lathe fixture for processing faucet pipe bends, comprising a support member 1 and a control switch 2.

Connecting plates 6 are fixedly connected to the edges on both sides of the lower fixture member 3. Adjustment components 7 are fixedly connected to the surfaces of the two connecting plates 6. An upper fixture member 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the adjustment components 7. Mounting grooves are provided on the surfaces of both the lower fixture member 3 and the upper fixture member 8, and miniature rollers 9 are rotatably connected inside the mounting grooves.

[0028] The limiting component 5 includes a telescopic support rod 501, a return spring 502, and a limiting clip 503. With the support member 1 and the limiting component 5 in place, during use, after fixing the support member 1 to the lathe according to the height of the bending equipment of the CNC lathe, pressing the limiting clip 503 causes the return spring 502 to deform due to compression, causing the telescopic support rod 501 and the limiting clip 503 to retract towards the receiving hole 4, moving the lower fixture part 3 downwards. This causes the limiting clip 503 to change position in the adjustment hole 10, reaching the appropriate adjustment hole 10. The return spring 502 then recovers its elastic potential energy, pushing the limiting clip 503 into the adjustment hole 10, fixing the height. This achieves the function of adjusting the support height of the fixture, avoiding the need to customize different fixtures due to different bending equipment heights on the CNC lathe, thus increasing production costs and improving the ease of use of the fixture.

[0029] The adjustment assembly 7 includes an adjustment frame 701 and an electro-hydraulic rod 702. Through the arrangement of the lower fixture 3, adjustment assembly 7, upper fixture 8, and miniature rollers 9, in use, the fixture is installed behind the bending device on the CNC lathe. The pipe body for processing the faucet bend is placed in the middle of the lower fixture 3 and upper fixture 8. The electro-hydraulic rod 702 is activated, and its inner rod pushes the upper fixture 8 against the top of the pipe body. During bending, the miniature rollers 9 allow the pipe body to move more smoothly inside, thus achieving the function of clamping pipes of different thicknesses. It also facilitates pipe movement, avoiding the need for the pipe body to move inside the fixture during faucet bend processing, preventing scratches on the pipe body from the fixture's interior, and making it difficult to move the pipe body easily within the fixture. This helps improve the practicality and adaptability of the fixture.

[0030] The limiting component 5 includes a telescopic support rod 501 and a return spring 502 fixedly connected inside the storage hole 4. One end of the telescopic support rod 501 and the return spring 502 is fixedly connected to a limiting clip 503. The limiting clip 503 is sleeved on the surface of the telescopic support rod 501. The limiting component 5 is set to adjust the limiting position.

[0031] Several adjustment holes 10 are provided on both sides of the surface of the lower part of the clamp 3. The adjustment holes 10 are adapted to the limiting clip 503. The lower part of the clamp 3 plays the role of supporting the tube body.

[0032] The adjustment assembly 7 includes an adjustment frame 701 that is fixedly connected to the surfaces of two connecting plates 6. An electric hydraulic rod 702 is fixedly installed in the middle of the top surface of the adjustment frame 701. The adjustment assembly 7 serves an adjustment function.

[0033] The electric hydraulic rod 702 is electrically connected to the control switch 2. The control switch 2 is used to control the start of the electric hydraulic rod 702. The electric hydraulic rod 702 is used to push the upper part 8 of the clamp and adjust the clamping size.

[0034] Stabilizing blocks 11 are fixedly connected to both sides of the upper part 8 of the clamp. The surface of the stabilizing block 11 is provided with through holes. The through holes slide on the surfaces of both sides of the adjusting frame 701. The upper part 8 of the clamp plays a fixing role.

[0035] The bottom end of the support member 1 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 12. The mounting plate 12 has mounting holes at the four corners of its surface. The mounting plate 12 facilitates the installation of the fixture on the CNC lathe.

[0036] In this invention, the working steps of the device are as follows:

[0037] First step: When using, install the fixture behind the bending equipment in the CNC lathe, place the pipe body for processing the faucet bend in the middle of the lower part 3 and the upper part 8 of the fixture, start the electric hydraulic rod 702, the inner rod of the electric hydraulic rod 702 pushes the upper part 8 of the fixture against the top of the pipe body, and when bending, the miniature roller 9 makes the pipe body move more smoothly inside;

[0038] The second step: When using the machine, after fixing the support 1 on the lathe according to the height of the bending equipment of the CNC lathe, press the limit card 503. The return spring 502 is elastic. The deformation of the return spring 502 due to compression causes the telescopic support rod 501 and the limit card 503 to retract towards the storage hole 4. Move the lower part of the fixture 3 downward, so that the position of the limit card 503 in the adjustment hole 10 changes and reaches the matching adjustment hole 10. The return spring 502 restores its elastic potential energy and pushes the limit card 503 into the adjustment hole 10 to fix the height.
