Specific applications include: in the construction sector, pipes produced by pipe-making units are used to construct piping systems in houses, bridges and other structures, such as water supply and drainage systems, heating and ventilation ducts, and supporting structures. In the energy sector, especially in the oil and gas industry, these pipes are used to construct long-distance transmission pipelines, such as crude oil pipelines and natural gas pipelines.
[0003] In traditional pipe processing, flipping large or heavy pipes usually requires the cooperation of multiple workers. Moreover, the machinery generates heat when working for a long time. The lack of an effective heat dissipation mechanism can cause these components to overheat, which may lead to motor overheating damage or shortened lifespan. High temperature environment not only affects the working efficiency of motor, but may also reduce the performance of other electronic components.
[0004] Therefore, in the traditional pipe processing, flipping large or heavy pipes usually requires the cooperation of multiple workers. Moreover, the machinery generates heat during long-term operation, and the lack of an effective heat dissipation mechanism can lead to excessively high temperatures in these components. A pipe turning device can be designed for the pipe making unit. By automatically completing the clamping and turning of the pipes, the reliance on manual labor can be reduced. The air-cooling structure can effectively remove the heat generated by the equipment, maintain the equipment in a suitable temperature range, and avoid performance degradation or damage caused by overheating.

The mounting cavity opened in the center of the clamping frame accommodates two sets of third motors used to drive the clamping structure. These motors adjust the position of the rotating frame by controlling the rotation of the threaded rod, thereby achieving precise positioning of the clamping plate. This design not only ensures the firm clamping of the pipe, but also allows for quick adjustment to adapt to pipes of different diameters, increasing the versatility and flexibility of the equipment.

[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0021] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 4This utility model provides an embodiment of a pipe-turning device for a pipe-making unit, comprising an installation frame 1, a clamping frame 15, a cylinder 16, a fixing plate 17, a second motor 18, a second rotating shaft 19, a rotating rod 20, an installation cavity 21, a third motor 22, a threaded rod 23, a rotating frame 24, and a clamping plate 25; a cylinder 16 for vertical extension and retraction is installed at the upper middle part of the installation frame 1, a fixing plate 17 is installed at the piston end of the cylinder 16, and a second motor 18 for rotating and turning is installed at the center of the lower surface of the fixing plate 17. The output end of the second motor 18 is equipped with a second rotating shaft 19. A rotating rod 20 is vertically installed inside the second rotating shaft 19. A clamping frame 15 is installed at the lower end of the rotating rod 20. An installation cavity 21 is opened in the center of the clamping frame 15. Two sets of third motors 22 for driving the clamping structure are symmetrically installed on both sides inside the installation cavity 21. A threaded rod 23 is rotatably connected to the front end of the third motor 22. A rotating frame 24 is threadedly connected to the front end of the threaded rod 23. A clamping plate 25 for fixing and clamping the pipe is fixedly connected to the lower end of the rotating frame 24.
[0022] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 2 In this embodiment, a connecting frame 8 is installed on the upper end of the cylinder 16, and connecting bases 9, which are fixedly connected to the mounting frame 1, are installed on the lower ends of both sides of the connecting frame 8. This enhances the structural stability of the entire device, making the cylinder 16 more stable and reliable when performing vertical extension and retraction movements, reducing the risk of displacement caused by vibration or external forces, and ensuring operational accuracy. Secondly, the design of the connecting frame 8 and connecting bases 9 helps to disperse the force generated by the cylinder 16 during operation, reducing the pressure on individual components and extending the service life of the equipment. In addition, this structure facilitates the installation and maintenance of the equipment, providing convenience for possible subsequent adjustments or repairs. Two sets of mounting plates 5 are symmetrically installed at the front and rear ends of the mounting frame 1. One set of mounting plates 5 has a control module 6 installed at the center of its surface, and a detector 7 is installed at the center of the lower surface of the control module 6. The two sets of mounting plates 5 installed symmetrically increase the balance and stability of the overall structure, which helps to reduce the vibration generated during equipment operation and ensures the accuracy and stability of operation. Secondly, the control module 6 on the mounting plate 5 facilitates the operation and monitoring of the entire device, making it easier for operators to adjust parameters and monitor status, improving the operability and response speed of the equipment. The detector 7 installed at the center of the lower surface of the control module 6 can monitor the working status of the equipment and environmental changes in real time, and provide timely feedback information to ensure the safety and reliability of the production process.
[0023] Please see Figure 2 - Figure 3In this embodiment, a connecting plate 10 is installed at the center of the side of another set of mounting plates 5 away from the control module 6. A first motor 14 is installed at the rear end of the middle of the connecting plate 10. Mounting the first motor 14 on the mounting plate 5 away from the control module 6 via the connecting plate 10 helps to achieve a balanced distribution of the internal layout of the equipment, avoids structural tilting or instability caused by uneven weight, and improves the stability of the overall device. Secondly, this layout optimizes space utilization, making the configuration between various components more reasonable and compact, which is conducive to the overall planning of the production line and equipment maintenance. A first rotating shaft 11 is installed at the output end of the first motor 14. Multiple sets of fan blades 13 are installed around the outside of the first rotating shaft 11. By driving the first rotating shaft 11 to rotate through the first motor 14, the multiple sets of fan blades 13 around it can work simultaneously to generate a strong airflow for cooling the equipment or materials in the process, effectively preventing the equipment from degrading or being damaged due to overheating, and extending the service life of the equipment. Furthermore, the design of multiple sets of fan blades 13 increases the efficiency and coverage of air circulation, ensuring the uniformity and efficiency of the cooling effect, and helping to maintain the optimal temperature environment for equipment operation.
[0024] Please see Figure 3 - Figure 4 In this embodiment, a cooling frame 12, which is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 10, is mounted around the outer rear end of the first motor 14. Fixing brackets 2 are symmetrically mounted on both sides of the lower surface of the mounting frame 1. The fixed connection between the cooling frame 12 and the connecting plate 10 ensures that the first motor 14 receives effective cooling during operation, preventing performance degradation or damage due to overheating, thereby extending the motor's service life and improving operating efficiency. The surrounding design allows the cooling frame 12 to distribute the cooling effect more evenly. The symmetrically mounted fixing brackets 2 on both sides of the lower surface of the mounting frame 1 provide additional support and stability, helping to distribute the weight of the entire device, reducing the risk of vibration and displacement during operation, and ensuring operational accuracy and equipment stability. A support column 3 is fixedly connected to the center of the lower surface of the fixed frame 2, and a fixed base 4 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the support column 3. The support column 3 provides direct vertical support, effectively transferring the weight of the fixed frame 2 and its upper structure to the fixed base 4, enhancing the stability and load-bearing capacity of the entire device, reducing shaking and instability during equipment operation, and ensuring the safety and accuracy of operation. The entire device can be installed more stably on the ground or other foundations, preventing positional displacement caused by external vibration or impact. This is especially important for pipe-making units that require high-precision operation. This layered and robust support structure design makes equipment installation and commissioning simpler and faster, and also facilitates later maintenance work.
[0025] During operation, the cylinder 16 first moves the clamping frame 15 to a suitable height position to align with the pipe to be processed. The fixing plate 17 moves together with the piston end of the cylinder 16 to ensure the stability of the entire upper assembly. After the second motor 18 starts, it drives the second rotating shaft 19 to rotate, which drives the internally vertically mounted rotating rod 20 and the clamping frame 15 connected to its lower end to rotate, thereby realizing the pipe flipping operation. At the same time, the two sets of third motors 22 in the mounting cavity 21 opened in the center of the clamping frame 15 start to work. They adjust the rotation of the threaded rod 23 by rotating the front end of the threaded rod 23. As the threaded rod 23 rotates, the rotating frame 24 threaded to its front end moves back and forth along the direction of the threaded rod 23. This adjusts the position of the clamping plate 25 fixed at the lower end of the rotating frame 24 to accommodate pipes of different sizes and clamp them firmly. Finally, the first motor 14 drives the first rotating shaft 11 to rotate, which drives multiple sets of fan blades 13 around its outer side to work simultaneously, generating a strong airflow to cool the equipment and the materials in the process.
[0026] Through the above steps, the clamping and flipping of pipes are automatically completed, reducing reliance on manual labor and lowering labor costs. This also avoids the risk of quality inconsistencies and workplace accidents caused by manual operation. The application of control module 6 and detector 7 ensures precise control and monitoring of the operation process, guaranteeing product consistency and high-quality standards. Furthermore, the compact design of the device helps to rationally arrange production space and improve space utilization efficiency. The first motor 14 drives the first rotating shaft 11 to rotate, which in turn drives multiple sets of fan blades 13 surrounding it to work simultaneously, generating a powerful airflow to cool the equipment. This effectively prevents performance degradation or damage due to overheating, extending the equipment's service life. This solves the problem that in traditional pipe processing, flipping large or heavy pipes usually requires multiple workers, and the lack of an effective heat dissipation mechanism can lead to excessively high temperatures in these components due to the heat generated during prolonged operation.
