Detailed Implementation

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0021] Reference Figures 1-4A feeding fixture for continuous tube shaping includes a mounting plate 1 and a mounting frame 3. The mounting frame 3 is positioned directly above the mounting plate 1. Two symmetrically arranged slide rails 10 are fixedly mounted on the mounting frame 3. A moving plate 11 that moves linearly laterally on the slide rails 10 is slidably mounted on both slide rails 10. Three equidistant hydraulic cylinders 16 are mounted on the moving plate 11. Each of the three hydraulic cylinders 16 has a clamping box 17 at its bottom. Each of the three clamping boxes 17 has two symmetrically arranged clamping plates 18 for clamping the continuous tube. A pipe opening for feeding, shaping, and conveying the continuous tube is located directly below each of the three clamping boxes 17. The three pipe openings are equidistant to facilitate automated operation of the equipment.

[0022] Three equally spaced mounting brackets 2 are fixedly installed on the mounting plate 1. All three mounting brackets 2 are L-shaped structures, and the ends of the three mounting brackets 2 are fixedly connected to the mounting frame 3.

[0023] The mounting frame 3 has a convex sliding groove 4. A sliding block 5 that matches the shape of the sliding groove 4 is slidably disposed in the sliding groove 4, and two symmetrically arranged fixing plates 7 are fixedly installed on the sliding block 5.

[0024] A rack 6 is fixedly installed inside the sliding groove 4. A rotating gear 9, which meshes with the rack 6, is rotatably installed between the two fixed plates 7 via a rotating shaft. A drive motor 8, which drives the rotating gear 9 to rotate, is fixedly installed on the fixed plate 7.

[0025] The end of the sliding block 5 is fixedly connected to the moving plate 11, and a through hole is provided on the sliding block 5. The rack 6 is disposed in the through hole of the sliding block 5.

[0026] The movable plate 11 has three pairs of equidistant limiting grooves 12, and a connecting rod 13 is slidably arranged in each pair of limiting grooves 12. A limiting plate 14 for limiting the hydraulic cylinder 16 is fixedly installed at the end of the connecting rod 13. When the electric push rod 19 pushes the limiting plate 14, the limiting plate 14 moves horizontally to avoid tilting. By setting two limiting frames 15, the positioning and installation of the hydraulic cylinder 16 are facilitated. The hydraulic cylinder 16 installed in the two limiting frames 15 is fixed in conjunction with the limiting plate 14.

[0027] Three pairs of limiting frames 15 for placing hydraulic cylinders 16 are fixedly installed on the movable plate 11. The limiting plate 14 is set on the side wall of the limiting frame 15. An electric push rod 19 for driving the limiting plate 14 to move toward the limiting frame 15 is fixedly installed on the movable plate 11.

[0028] The functional principle of this utility model can be explained through the following operation methods:

[0029] In use, the rotation of the drive motor 8 causes the output end of the drive motor 8 to drive the rotating gear 9 to rotate. The rack 6 meshes with the rotating gear 9, so that the rack 6 provides a reaction force to the rotating gear 9, causing the sliding block 5 to slide in the sliding groove 4. The sliding block 5 drives the moving plate 11, and the moving plate 11 slides on the slide rail 10, reducing the friction force on the moving plate 11. The movement of the moving plate 11 places the clamping plate 18 directly above the continuous tube feed, shaping and feeding port. The hydraulic cylinder 16 pushes the clamping box 17 down, and the two clamping plates 18 move relative to each other in the clamping box 17 to synchronously clamp the continuous tube in the feed, shaping and feeding ports. The moving plate 11 conveys the continuous tube in the feed port to the shaping port, and the continuous tube in the shaping port to the feeding port. The continuous tube in the feeding port is conveyed to the collection box, completing the synchronous feeding, shaping and feeding of the continuous tube.

[0030] The above description is only a preferred 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 technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
