[0033] Example 1

[0034] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment proposes a metal tube bending and forming device, including a frame 1, a shaft 2 is vertically and rotatably installed at the middle position of the top of the frame 1, multiple sets of first rotating wheels 3 are horizontally installed on the shaft 2 along the height direction, a C-shaped frame 4 is fixed between the two ends of the shaft 2, and a drive mechanism 5 for controlling the rotation of the shaft 2 and the C-shaped frame 4 is provided at the bottom of the frame 1.

[0035] A hydraulic cylinder 6 is installed at the end of the C-shaped frame 4. A slider 7 is slidably arranged inside the C-shaped frame 4 along the length direction. The output end of the hydraulic cylinder 6 is connected to the slider 7. Multiple sets of sliding grooves 8 corresponding to the first rotating wheel 3 are opened at the end of the slider 7 near the first rotating wheel 3. A sliding rod 9 is slidably arranged inside each sliding groove 8. A tension spring 10 is provided between the sliding rod 9 and the inner end of the sliding groove 8. The two ends of the tension spring 10 are fixedly connected to the end face of the sliding rod 9 and the inner end face of the sliding groove 8, respectively.

[0036] The tension spring 10 is a stainless steel helical tension spring with an elastic coefficient of 10-20 N / mm and a pre-tension length of 40-60 mm to ensure sufficient restoring force. One end of the tension spring 10 is connected to the end face of the slide rod 9 through a bolt fixing seat, and the other end is fixed to the inner end face of the slide groove 8 through a hook structure, which is convenient for disassembly and replacement.

[0037] The outer end of each slide rod 9 is rotatably mounted with a second rotating wheel 11. The bottom of the slider 7 is vertically slidably provided with an insert 13. The top of the insert 13 is provided with a bevel 14 on the side near the second rotating wheel 11. Each slide rod 9 is vertically provided with a slot 12 that mates with the insert 13.

[0038] Below the U-shaped frame 4 is a telescopic mechanism 15 that controls the vertical movement of the insertion block 13.

[0039] In use, initially, the insert block 13 is inserted into the slot 12 to fix the position of the slide rod 9, preventing it from sliding inside the groove 8. At this time, the tension spring 10 is in a stretched state. Then, multiple sets of pipes are horizontally passed between the first rotating wheel 3 and the second rotating wheel 11, with the pipes protruding a certain length for bending operations. The non-insertion ends of the pipes are then fixed using pipe clamps from the prior art, which will not be elaborated upon in this application. Then, the hydraulic cylinder 6 is activated to control the slide rod 9 on the slider 7 to slide simultaneously toward the first rotating wheel 3. The first rotating wheel 3 and the second rotating wheel 11 are used to squeeze and limit the pipes. After both ends of the pipes are completely limited, the drive is then used... Mechanism 5 controls the rotation of shaft 2 and frame 4. The second rotating wheel 11 on frame 4 rotates around the first rotating wheel 3, squeezing the protruding section of the pipe. The pipe bends against the outside of the first rotating wheel 3. During the bending process, the telescopic mechanism 15 controls the vertical downward movement of the insert 13, releasing the fixed state of the slide rod 9. The tension spring 10 controls the retraction of the slide rod 9. At this point, the first rotating wheel 3 and the second rotating wheel 11 no longer position the pipe. When frame 4 continues to rotate, the pipe will not be bent. Therefore, pipes with different curvatures can be produced in a single bending process. Alternatively, the telescopic mechanism 15 can be left uncontrolled during the bending process, allowing multiple sets of pipes with the same curvature to be produced simultaneously.

[0040] Example 2

[0041] The solution in Example 1 will be further described below with reference to its specific working method.

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, the drive mechanism 5 further includes a motor 501, a turntable 502, and a limiting ring 503. The motor 501 is installed at the bottom of the frame 1, and the turntable 502 is horizontally installed at the output end of the motor 501. The limiting ring 503 is fixed to the inner top of the frame 1, and the bottom of the turntable 502 is attached to the top of the limiting ring 503. The turntable 502 and the limiting ring 503 are rotatably connected. The bottom end of the shaft 2 is fixedly connected to the turntable 502. When performing bending operations, the motor 501 is started to control the rotation of the turntable 502. The limiting ring 503 is used to limit the turntable 502 to ensure that the turntable 502 rotates horizontally. When the turntable 502 rotates, it drives the shaft 2 to rotate.

[0043] like Figure 1As shown, in a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, a support rod 504 is fixed to the side of the top of the turntable 502, and a first arc-shaped groove 505 that cooperates with the support rod 504 is opened on the top of the frame 1. The support rod 504 slides inside the first arc-shaped groove 505, and the top end of the support rod 504 is fixedly connected to the shaped frame 4. During the rotation of the turntable 502, the support rod 504 will drag the rotation of the shaped frame 4 and stabilize and limit the shaped frame 4.

[0044] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, the telescopic mechanism 15 further includes a screw 1501, a threaded groove 1502, a strip groove 1504, and a rotating assembly. The screw 1501 is vertically rotatably mounted on the bottom of the slider 7 via a bearing. The bottom end of the insert block 13 is provided with a threaded groove 1502 that mates with the screw 1501. The bottom of the shaped frame 4 is provided with a strip groove 1504 for the screw 1501 to pass through. The bottom of the screw 1501 is provided with a rotating assembly.

[0045] If pipes with different curvatures need to be processed, the rotation component can be used to control the rotation of the screw 1501 during the bending process. The position of the screw 1501 remains unchanged, and the control block 13 moves vertically downward and is pulled out from the slot 12 on the slide rod 9, releasing the fixed state of the slide rod 9. When the bracket 4 continues to rotate, the pipe at the end of the slide rod 9 will not be bent. If pipes with different curvatures do not need to be processed, the rotation of the screw 1501 can be left uncontrolled during the bending process.

[0046] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, the rotating assembly further includes a gear 1503, a second arc-shaped groove 1505 and a rack 1506. The gear 1503 is fixed to the bottom end of the screw 1501 by bolts. The top of the frame 1 is provided with a second arc-shaped groove 1505, and the inner side of the second arc-shaped groove 1505 is provided with a rack 1506 that meshes with the gear 1503.

[0047] When processing pipes with different curvatures, as the C-shaped frame 4 rotates, the gear 1503 at the bottom of the screw 1501 rotates along the rack 1506, thereby automatically rotating the screw 1501. If processing pipes with different curvatures is not required, the gear 1503 can be removed.

[0048] like Figure 2 ,and Figure 3As shown, in a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, the surface of the inclined edge 14 is further coated with a wear-resistant coating. The inclined angle of the inclined edge 14 is 45°. The wear-resistant coating is a tungsten carbide wear-resistant coating, which is applied by plasma spraying. The coating thickness is 0.1-0.3 mm, and the hardness reaches HV1000-1200, thereby improving the wear resistance, reducing the wear of the inclined edge 14, and increasing the service life.

[0049] like Figure 2 ,and Figure 3 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, guide grooves are further provided on both the upper and lower sides of the inside of the C-shaped frame 4 along the length direction. Limiting blocks are fixed at the top and bottom of the slider 7, and the limiting blocks slide inside the guide grooves. When the slider 7 moves, the limiting blocks move inside the guide grooves, ensuring the horizontal movement of the slider 7.

[0050] Example 3

[0051] The solutions in Embodiments 1 and 2 will be further described below with reference to their specific working methods.

[0052] In use, initially, the insert block 13 is inserted into the slot 12 to fix the position of the slide rod 9, preventing it from sliding inside the groove 8. At this time, the tension spring 10 is in a stretched state. Then, multiple sets of pipes are horizontally passed between the first rotating wheel 3 and the second rotating wheel 11, with the pipes protruding a certain length. The non-penetrating ends of the pipes are then fixed. Then, the hydraulic cylinder 6 is activated to control the slide rod 9 on the slider 7 to slide simultaneously toward the first rotating wheel 3. The first rotating wheel 3 and the second rotating wheel 11 are used to squeeze and limit the pipes. After both ends of the pipes are completely limited, the motor 501 is activated to control the rotation of the turntable 502. The limiting ring 503 limits the turntable 502 to ensure that the turntable 502 rotates horizontally. When the turntable 502 rotates, it drives the shaft 2 and the C-shaped frame 4 to rotate. The second rotating wheel 11 on the C-shaped frame 4 compresses the pipes. The protruding section is squeezed, and the pipe is bent against the outside of the first rotating wheel 3. In addition, during the bending process, if it is necessary to process pipes with different curvatures, the gear 1503 is fixed at the bottom of the screw 1501, and the gear 1503 meshes with the rack 1506. As the convex frame 4 rotates, the gear 1503 at the bottom of the screw 1501 rotates along the rack 1506, thereby automatically rotating the screw 1501. The position of the screw 1501 remains unchanged, and the control block 13 moves vertically downward and is pulled out from the slot 12 on the slide rod 9, releasing the fixed state of the slide rod 9. When the convex frame 4 continues to rotate, the pipe at the end of the slide rod 9 will not be bent. If pipes with the same curvature are to be processed, the gear 1503 can be removed. The rotation of the convex frame 4 will not cause the screw 1501 to rotate, and the position of the block 13 is limited.

[0053] The above description is only a further embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the scope disclosed by the present utility model, based on the technical solution and concept of the present utility model, shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
