Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipe processing equipment, and in particular to a pipe clamping mold. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of the pipe industry, thin-walled designs have made press-fit connections between pipes possible. A press-fit connection is a method of sealing pipes and fittings through cold extrusion. Electric hydraulic crimping pliers are commonly used in press-fit connections of thin-walled pipes. Both the left and right molds of the pliers have crimping protrusions for crimping fittings. During the press-fit connection process, the operator inserts the pre-sealed pipe into the socket of the fitting, then places the fitting between the crimping grooves of the left and right molds inside the pliers. The hydraulic drive mechanism then presses the molds together, applying circumferential pressure to the connection section of the socket from the outside. This causes the connection section of the socket, along with the inserted pipe, to deform and lock together, thus securing the fitting to the pipe and forming a seal through the sealing ring, enabling interconnection between the pipes.

[0003] Currently, each mold typically includes two moving molds and a fixed mold positioned between them. Both moving molds are connected to the fixed mold via springs, ensuring that during pressing, the two moving molds of the left mold contact the two moving molds of the right mold first. The elasticity of the springs absorbs some of the impact force, providing a buffer during pressing and reducing the impact on the mold and pipe fittings when the hydraulic drive structure suddenly applies pressure. This reduces pipe fitting deformation or damage caused by impact, resulting in better pressing performance. However, because the springs are connected between the moving and fixed molds without a sealing structure, moisture can easily enter between them, causing the springs to rust. This affects the closing accuracy of the moving and fixed molds, reducing reliability. Furthermore, it is difficult to disassemble and replace the springs; if a spring is damaged, the entire mold needs to be replaced, shortening the mold's lifespan and increasing operating costs. Utility Model Content

[0026] The width of the mounting groove 105 and the width of the guide groove 106 are both greater than the width of the through groove 107. By setting the spring 108 in the mounting groove 105 on the side of the arc-shaped mounting block 104 away from the moving mold 102, the sealing performance is improved and the spring 108 is easy to disassemble and replace, thus extending the service life of the mold, reducing the cost of use and improving the reliability of use.

[0027] In order to facilitate the disassembly and replacement of the fixed mold 101, in this embodiment, preferably, the fixed mold 101 is fixedly connected to the arc-shaped mounting block 104 by screws 116. The purpose is that the fixed mold 101 is detachably connected to the arc-shaped mounting block 104 by screws 116, so that the fixed mold 101 can be disassembled and replaced when the screws 116 are removed.

[0028] To facilitate ensuring the accuracy and consistency of the two mold components 1 during the mold closing process, in this embodiment, preferably, each of the two moving molds 102 of one mold component 1 is provided with a positioning protrusion 2, and each of the two moving molds 102 of the other mold component 1 is provided with a positioning groove 3. The two positioning protrusions 2 are respectively movably engaged in the two positioning grooves 3. The purpose is to ensure that the two positioning protrusions 2 are respectively engaged in the two positioning grooves 3 when the two mold components 1 are closed, thereby ensuring the accuracy and consistency of the two mold components 1 during the mold closing process and preventing the two mold components 1 from shifting or shaking during the mold closing pressure process.

[0029] To improve sealing, in this embodiment, preferably, a sealing cover 113 is movably fitted onto the top of the mounting groove 105. The purpose of the sealing cover 113 is to seal the mounting groove 105, prevent moisture or dust from entering the mounting groove 105, thereby preventing the spring 108 from rusting, ensuring the mold closing accuracy of the moving mold 102 and the fixed mold 101, and improving the reliability of use.

[0030] In order to facilitate the support of the sealing cover 113, in this embodiment, preferably, the inner side of the mounting groove 105 is provided with a raised edge 114, and the bottom of the sealing cover 113 abuts against the raised edge 114.

[0031] To facilitate the disassembly of the sealing cap 113, in this embodiment, preferably, a chamfer 115 is provided on one side of the top of the mounting groove 105. The purpose of the chamfer 115 is to achieve position avoidance. The user can use a tool to push the sealing cap 113 upward at the chamfer 115 to remove it, thereby disassembling the sealing cap 113.

[0032] To facilitate the positioning and installation of the spring 108, in this embodiment, preferably, the inner side of the mounting groove 105 is connected to a first sleeve 117, and one side of the movable block 109 is connected to a second sleeve 118. One end of the spring 108 is embedded in the second sleeve 118, and the other end is embedded in the first sleeve 117. The purpose is to embed one end of the spring 108 in the second sleeve 118 and the other end in the first sleeve 117, thereby achieving the positioning and installation of the spring 108. Conversely, the spring 108 can be quickly disassembled.

[0033] To facilitate the disassembly and replacement of the moving mold 102, in this embodiment, preferably, a stud 119 is connected to the end of the pin 110 away from the movable block 109. The stud 119 is threadedly connected to the moving mold 102. The purpose is to connect the pin 110 to the moving mold 102 through the stud 119, and conversely, to allow for quick disassembly of the pin 110, thereby allowing the moving mold 102 to be removed and replaced between the two arc-shaped mounting blocks 104.

[0034] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: Two mold assemblies 1 are driven to press together via a hydraulic drive mechanism. When the two mold assemblies 1 are closed, the two moving molds 102 of one mold assembly 1 first contact the two moving molds 102 of the other mold assembly 1, and the two positioning protrusions 2 are respectively embedded in the two positioning grooves 3. This ensures the accuracy and consistency of the two mold assemblies 1 during the mold closing process and prevents the two mold assemblies 1 from shifting or shaking during the pressing process. During the continued pressing process, the pin 110 slides along the through groove 107. Furthermore, the ball bearing 112 rolls along the guide groove 106, improving the accuracy of the moving mold 102's travel. The pin 110 compresses the spring 108 through the movable block 109, and the elasticity of the spring 108 absorbs some of the impact force, giving the two mold components 1 a certain buffering process during pressing. This reduces the impact on the mold and pipe when the hydraulic drive mechanism suddenly applies pressure, thus preventing deformation or damage to the pipe due to the impact. When the hydraulic drive mechanism releases the pressure, the spring 108 can automatically restore the moving mold 102 to its initial state.

[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
