Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of pipe head grooving, and in particular to a pipe head grooving device for automobile air conditioning. Background Technology
[0002] In the manufacturing process of automotive air conditioning pipes, the head grooving process is a critical step. The main purpose of grooving is to provide a reliable positioning and sealing base for subsequent connector installation. By rolling grooves of specific shapes and sizes into the pipe head, the connectors can fit tightly with the pipe, ensuring that refrigerant does not leak as it flows through the pipe.
[0003] Currently, among existing grooving equipment, such as the patent with authorization announcement number CN212703855U, this utility model discloses a grooving machine with good grooving effect, including a mounting base and a steel pipe. The mounting base has an installation cavity inside, and the main body of the grooving machine is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the mounting base. The steel pipe is driven to the concave pressure roller of the main body of the grooving machine. The top of the mounting base has a sliding opening, and a support rod is slidably connected in the sliding opening.
[0004] However, it was found during the use of the equipment that it was not very effective at grooving pipelines, the pipelines were easily deformed by pressure, and the operation was not very convenient when fixing the pipelines. Utility Model Content
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a grooving device for automotive air conditioning pipe heads that improves the effect of the device on the grooving of pipe heads, reduces the deformation caused by pressing the pipe in one direction, and improves work efficiency and ease of use.
[0006] This utility model discloses a grooving device for the head of an automotive air conditioning pipe, comprising a first guide member and a housing, with two housings slidably mounted inside the first guide member; it also includes a drive device, a support device, a first motor, a lower grooving wheel, and an upper grooving wheel. The drive device is housed within the first guide member, providing power for the sliding of the two housings. Two first motors are respectively mounted on the inner sidewalls of the two housings. The lower and upper grooving wheels are rotatably mounted on the outer sidewalls of the two housings. The output ends of the two first motors are respectively connected to the lower and upper grooving wheels. The lower and upper grooving wheels are arranged vertically opposite each other, and the outer sidewall of the lower grooving wheel has a groove that mates with the upper grooving wheel. The first guide member is mounted on the support device... In the device, a support device is used to drive the first guide member to move horizontally and to support the pipeline. The pipeline is placed on the support device, and then the support device drives the first guide member to move horizontally, so that the lower grooving wheel extends into the pipeline opening. Then, the drive device drives the two sets of housings to move closer to each other, so that the two sets of housings drive the lower grooving wheel and the upper grooving wheel to move closer together and squeeze the pipeline. The two sets of first motors drive the lower grooving wheel and the upper grooving wheel to rotate in opposite directions, so that the lower grooving wheel and the upper grooving wheel cooperate to drive the pipeline to rotate and roll the pipeline head into a groove shape, which improves the effect of the device in grooving the pipeline head, reduces the deformation of the pipeline by pressing in one direction, and improves work efficiency and ease of use.
[0007] Preferably, the support device includes a moving device, a base, a base plate, first support wheels, first hydraulic cylinders, and second support wheels.

Multiple second support wheels are rotatably mounted on the moving ends of the multiple first hydraulic cylinders. The moving device is mounted on the base plate and is used to drive the first guide member to move horizontally. The pipeline is placed on the multiple first support wheels and multiple second support wheels. When the pipeline needs to be moved and transported horizontally, the multiple first hydraulic cylinders drive the multiple second support wheels to move upward, so that the multiple second support wheels support the bottom of the pipeline, thereby facilitating the horizontal pushing and transporting of the pipeline. When the pipeline is transported to the correct position, the multiple first hydraulic cylinders drive the multiple second support wheels to move downward. At this time, the multiple first support wheels support the bottom of the pipeline, thereby facilitating the rotation of the lower grooving wheel and the upper grooving wheel to perform grooving processing on the pipeline, improving the ease of use.
[0008] Preferably, it also includes a second guide, a push block, a lead screw, and a second motor. The second guide is disposed on the outer wall of the base, the push block is slidably mounted on the second guide, the lead screw is rotatably mounted on the outer wall of the second guide, the push block is screwed onto the lead screw, and the second motor is mounted on the outer wall of the second guide, with the output end of the second motor connected to the lead screw. The second motor drives the lead screw to rotate, thereby driving the push block to move horizontally, improving the convenience of the push block in horizontally pushing and conveying the pipeline.
[0009] Preferably, the moving device includes a guide rail, a slider, and a second hydraulic cylinder. The guide rail is disposed on the outer wall of the base, and the slider is slidably mounted on the guide rail. The bottom end of the first guide member is connected to the top end of the slider. The second hydraulic cylinder is mounted on the outer wall of the base, and the moving end of the second hydraulic cylinder is connected to the slider. The second hydraulic cylinder drives the slider to slide horizontally, thereby causing the slider to drive the first guide member to move horizontally.
[0010] Preferably, the driving device includes a third hydraulic cylinder, and two sets of third hydraulic cylinders are installed inside the first guide member. The moving ends of the two sets of third hydraulic cylinders are respectively connected to the outer walls of the two sets of housings. By controlling the extension and retraction length of the moving ends of the two sets of third hydraulic cylinders, the two sets of third hydraulic cylinders drive the two sets of housings to move and adjust.
[0011] Preferably, it also includes a burner, which is installed on the outer wall of the base; the burner heats the grooved area at the pipe head, thereby improving the convenience of the grooving process at the pipe head.
[0012] Preferably, it also includes a third motor, with multiple sets of third motors respectively installed on the outer walls of multiple sets of bases, and the output ends of the multiple sets of third motors respectively connected to multiple sets of first support wheels; by driving the multiple sets of first support wheels to rotate through the multiple sets of third motors, the convenience of rotating the pipeline grooving is improved.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the pipeline is placed on the support device, and then the support device drives the first guide to move horizontally, so that the lower grooving wheel extends into the pipeline opening. Then, the drive device drives the two sets of housings to move closer to each other, so that the two sets of housings drive the lower grooving wheel and the upper grooving wheel to move closer together and squeeze the pipeline. The two sets of first motors drive the lower grooving wheel and the upper grooving wheel to rotate in opposite directions, so that the lower grooving wheel and the upper grooving wheel cooperate to drive the pipeline to rotate and roll the pipeline head into a groove shape. This improves the effect of the device on the grooving of the pipeline head, reduces the situation of unidirectional pressing deformation of the pipeline, and improves work efficiency and ease of use.
