[0024] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a special mold and bending machine for bending railway freight car pipe fittings includes:

[0026] A second bed 2 is pivotally connected to one side of the first bed 1, which is fixedly installed. Both the first bed 1 and the second bed 2 are rotatably equipped with load-bearing guide rollers 3.

[0027] The limiting guide roller 4 is driven to rotate by the drive motor 5 fixedly mounted on the vertical plate 101, and the limiting guide roller 4 is distributed between the two carrying guide rollers 3, combined with Figure 1 As shown, the two carrying guide rollers 3 are distributed on the same horizontal plane, and the limiting guide rollers 4 are distributed parallel to the horizontal plane. The vertical distance between the carrying guide rollers 3 and the limiting guide rollers 4 is equal to the circumference diameter of the pipe to be bent.

[0028] The hydraulic telescopic module 6 has a connecting piece 7 rotatably mounted on its output end, and the connecting piece 7 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft at the end of the second bed 2.

[0029] Specifically, the hydraulic telescopic module 6 is a hydraulic jacking rod or a pneumatic jacking rod.

[0030] Furthermore, upright plates 101 are symmetrically mounted on the base 100 at the pivot point of the first bed 1 and the second bed 2, and are symmetrically distributed about the center of the two. The drive motor 5 is fixedly mounted on the upright plates 101, while the limiting guide rollers 4 are mounted on the upright plates 101 through rotary bearings. An I-shaped support steel plate 102 is fixedly mounted on the base 100, and the I-shaped support steel plate 102 is fixedly welded to the first bed 1.

[0031] Furthermore, bearing mounting seats 200 are symmetrically fixedly installed on the beds of the second bed 2 and the first bed 1, while the bearing guide rollers 3 are fixedly installed on the inner rings of the two coaxial bearing mounting seats.

[0032] The above technology allows railway freight car pipes to pass between the carrying guide roller 3 and the limiting guide roller 4, and then the hydraulic telescopic module 6 is activated to extend or retract, thereby changing the tilt angle of the second bed 2. Then, the limiting guide roller 4 is driven to rotate circumferentially by the drive motor 5 to realize the transportation of railway freight car pipes. During the process, the change in the tilt angle of the second bed 2 makes the railway freight car pipes bend into the required shape.

[0033] As a further embodiment of this utility model, bearing mounting seats are symmetrically fixedly installed on the bed of the first bed 1, while a round rod fixedly welded to the end of the second bed 2 is fixedly installed on the inner ring of the bearing mounting seat, and a hard rubber cylinder 8 is fixedly installed on the round rod. The hard rubber cylinder 8 provides soft contact for the bending process of railway freight car pipe fittings.

[0034] As another embodiment further provided by this utility model, combined with Figure 3 As shown, a single-port threaded sleeve 31 is symmetrically fixed on the bearing guide roller 3. The single-port threaded sleeve 31 is internally threaded with a positioning contact plate 33, and the two positioning contact plates 33 are distributed adjacent to each other.

[0035] Furthermore, the end face of the positioning contact plate 33 is rotatably provided with a plurality of bullseye balls 32 arranged in a circumferential array.

[0036] Furthermore, the positioning contact plate 33 is threadedly connected to a positioning nut 34 that engages with the port of the single-port threaded sleeve 31 in a retractable manner.

[0037] Specifically, in this embodiment, by rotating the positioning contact plate 33, the distance between the two positioning contact plates 33 is reduced, thereby adapting to the specifications of different railway freight car pipe fittings. Then, when the railway freight car pipe fitting is being driven, it contacts the bullseye ball 32 to reduce friction.

[0038] It should be noted that the aforementioned fixed installations and settings can be installed using known connection methods such as welding, bolts, snap-fit, and screws; while rotating installations and hinges are installed using rotary bearings, and sliding installations are installed using sliding bearings. These installation methods are all common knowledge to those skilled in the art, and can be directly determined by those skilled in the art based on the structural characteristics; therefore, they will not be described in detail.

[0039] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
