[0023] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In addition, the forms of the various structures described in the following embodiments are merely illustrative. This utility model is not limited to the structures described in the following embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0024] Reference Figures 1-5This utility model provides a straightening device for stainless steel pipes, including a base 2. A support plate 3 is bolted to the middle of the lower surface of the base 2. A U-shaped frame 4 is bolted to the upper surface of the support plate 3. A hydraulic cylinder 5 is bolted to the upper surface of the U-shaped frame 4. The bottom end of the hydraulic cylinder 5 passes through the top inner wall of the U-shaped frame 4 and is bolted to a pressure plate 6. The upper surface of the base 2 has two symmetrical sets of sliding openings 8, with two in each set. Clamping plates 10 are slidably connected in each of the sliding openings 8. Multiple sliding rods 9 are bolted between the inner walls on both sides of the multiple sliding openings 8, and each sliding rod 9 passes through the corresponding clamping plate 10 and is connected to it. The sliding connection consists of two sets of clamping plates 10 on the same side, each with a connecting rod 14 bolted to its bottom. Two symmetrical fixing plates 12 are bolted to the lower surface of the support plate 3. A semi-bidirectional lead screw 15 is rotatably connected between the two fixing plates 12 via a bearing. The semi-bidirectional lead screw 15 passes through the two connecting rods 14 and is threaded to them. A drive motor 16, which causes the semi-bidirectional lead screw 15 to rotate in both directions along the axial direction, is bolted to one side of one of the fixing plates 12. Two symmetrical sets of fixing brackets 19 are bolted to the lower surface of the pressure plate 6, with multiple brackets in each set. Rollers 20 are rotatably connected between the inner walls of both sides of one end of each fixing bracket 19. Furthermore, rubber rings are bonded to the outer circumference of multiple rollers 20. When straightening a bent stainless steel pipe, the pipe to be straightened is first placed on the base 2, with the bent protrusion at the top. Then, the drive motor 16 is started to rotate the semi-double-acting screw 15. During the rotation of the semi-double-acting screw 15, it drives the two connecting rods 14 threaded to it to move closer to each other, thereby causing the two sets of clamping plates 10 to clamp the pipe. After the pipe is clamped, the hydraulic cylinder 5 is activated to extend, thereby moving the pressure plate 6. When the rollers 20 contact the pipe, the hydraulic cylinder 5 continues to extend, thus straightening the bent part of the pipe. 0. The pipe fitting can be clamped on both sides before straightening, thus limiting its position. If the pipe fitting becomes skewed during the straightening process, resulting in an unsatisfactory straightening result and requiring re-straightening, this device saves time and increases straightening efficiency. The drive motor 16 can drive the semi-bidirectional lead screw 15 to rotate, eliminating the need for manual rotation of the semi-bidirectional lead screw 15, saving manpower and increasing the automation effect of the device, further improving the straightening efficiency of the pipe fitting. The rollers 20 and the rubber rings bonded to their surfaces can protect the surface of the pipe fitting during straightening, preventing the pressure plate 6 from directly contacting the pipe fitting and causing damage.

[0025] To limit the downward movement of the pressure plate 6, two symmetrical fixing seats 11 are bolted to the middle of the upper surface of the base 2. L-shaped plates 17 are bolted to both sides of the pressure plate 6. A threaded rod 21 is threaded through the upper surface of the L-shaped plate 17. The bottom end of the threaded rod 21 is rotatably connected to a limiting plate 22 via a bearing. Two symmetrical round rods 23 are bolted to the upper surface of the limiting plate 22, located on both sides of the threaded rod 21, with the top end of the round rod 23 inserted into one end of the L-shaped plate 17. It is slidably connected to it. When it is necessary to limit the distance of the pressure plate 6, the threaded rod 21 is rotated before calibration. Since the threaded rod 21 is threadedly connected to the L-shaped plate 17, it will move downward during its rotation, thereby causing the limiting plate 22 to move downward until the distance between the bottom end of the limiting plate 22 and the bottom end of the roller 20 is the same as the diameter of the pipe. During the calibration process, the limiting plate 22 contacts the fixed seat 11 first when the pressure plate 6 is pressed down, to prevent excessive pressure from damaging the pipe.

[0026] To facilitate the guidance of the pressure plate 6 during its up-and-down movement, two symmetrical guide rods 18 are bolted to the upper surface of the pressure plate 6 and located on both sides of the hydraulic cylinder 5. The top ends of the two guide rods 18 pass through the top outer wall of the U-shaped frame 4 and interact with it. The top ends of the guide rods 18 are bolted to limit blocks, which can guide the pressure plate 6 during its up-and-down movement and prevent it from tilting during the movement, thus affecting the accuracy of the calibration.

[0027] To facilitate the lifting of the stainless steel pipe, V-shaped support plates 7 are bolted to both ends of the upper surface of the base 2, support block 13 is bolted to the middle of the upper surface of the base 2, and support frame 1 is bolted to the lower surface of the base 2.

[0028] The use of this utility model involves the following steps:

[0029] S1: When it is necessary to limit the distance of the pressure plate 6, rotate the threaded rod 21 before calibration. Since the threaded rod 21 is threadedly connected to the L-shaped plate 17, it will move downward during its rotation, thereby causing the limiting plate 22 to move downward until the distance between the bottom end of the limiting plate 22 and the bottom end of the roller 20 is the same as the diameter of the pipe.

[0030] S2: When it is necessary to straighten the bent stainless steel pipe, first place the pipe to be straightened on the base 2, with the bent protrusion at the top. Then start the drive motor 16 to make the semi-bidirectional screw 15 rotate. During the rotation of the semi-bidirectional screw 15, it will drive the two connecting rods 14 threaded to it to move closer to each other, thereby making the two sets of clamping plates 10 clamp the pipe.

[0031] S3: After clamping the pipe fitting, the hydraulic cylinder 5 is activated to extend, thereby moving the pressure plate 6. When the roller 20 contacts the pipe fitting, the hydraulic cylinder 5 continues to extend, thereby straightening the bent part of the pipe fitting.

[0032] Finally, the following points should be noted: In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection" and "linkage" should be interpreted broadly, and can be mechanical or electrical connection, or internal connection between two components, or direct connection. "Up", "down", "left", "right", etc. are only used to indicate relative positional relationship. When the absolute position of the described object changes, the relative positional relationship may change.
