Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipe bending tooling technology, specifically a bending tooling for automotive radiator pipes. Background Technology

[0002] As a heat transfer and conduction component inside a car, the car radiator plays an important role. The main materials of the car radiator are aluminum or copper, and the radiator core is its main component, which contains coolant. In layman's terms, the car radiator is a heat exchanger. During the manufacturing process, the straight pipes inside the car radiator need to be bent into curves.

[0003] Existing patent CN220532695U discloses a bending fixture for automotive radiator pipes, which includes a processing base. A circular shell is mounted on the side surface of the processing base. Multiple first wedge-shaped rods are arranged in a circumferential array inside the circular shell, with one end of each rod penetrating into the inner side of the shell. A clamping mechanism is provided on the outer side of the shell, capable of driving the multiple wedge-shaped rods to move simultaneously towards the center of the shell. A forming wheel is provided on the upper surface of the processing base, and a through groove is formed on the surface of the base. A connecting block is mounted on the bottom of the forming wheel, extending through the groove to the lower side of the processing base. A slot is formed on the surface of the connecting block on the lower side of the base. This design eliminates the need to change fixtures and bending rollers, and allows for quick replacement of the forming wheel, eliminating the need for bolts.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 4This utility model provides a technical solution: a bending fixture for automotive radiator pipes, including a processing table 1. The top of the processing table 1 is equipped with a pushing component and an adjusting component. The pushing component includes vertical plates 21 fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the processing table 1, a rotating shaft 22 connected to the vertical plates 21, a first motor 23 fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft 22, a gear 24 fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating shaft 22, a rack 25 connected to the gear 24, a movable seat 26 fixedly connected to one end of the rack 25, a support seat 27 fixedly connected to one side of the movable seat 26, a first positioning groove 28 opened on the top of the support seat 27, and a tool for pipe alignment. The positioning component for fixing the pipeline includes a gear 24 meshing with a rack 25, a rotating shaft 22 rotatably connected to a vertical plate 21, and a first motor 23 controlling the rotating shaft 22 to drive the gear 24 to rotate. The gear 24 can drive the rack 25 to move laterally, which in turn can drive the moving seat 26 to move. The pipeline can be placed on top of the support base 27. As the moving seat 26 moves, the pipeline can move, enabling automatic feeding of the pipeline, thereby improving the degree of automation and the efficiency of pipeline bending. The positioning component includes a moving groove 51 opened on one side of the moving seat 26, a moving block 52 connected to the moving groove 51, and a first motor 23 connected to the moving block 52. A screw 53, a third motor 54 fixedly connected to the top of the first screw 53, a positioning seat 55 fixedly connected to one side of the moving block 52, and a second positioning groove 56 formed at the bottom of the positioning seat 55. The moving block 52 is slidably connected to the moving groove 51. The first screw 53 is screwed to the moving block 52 and rotatably connected to the moving seat 26. The third motor 54 can control the rotation of the first screw 53, thereby driving the moving block 52 and the positioning seat 55 vertically. This allows the pipeline to be fixed between the positioning seat 55 and the support seat 27, preventing the pipeline from moving during bending and affecting the bending result. It can also fix pipelines of different sizes. This design improves the applicability of the processing table 1. A guide groove 61 is provided on the top of the processing table 1, and a guide block 62 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable seat 26. The guide block 62 is slidably connected to the guide groove 61. The movement of the movable seat 26 can drive the guide block 62 to move synchronously. The guide block 62 can improve the stability of the movement of the movable seat 26 and prevent the rack 25 from vertically disengaging from the gear 24. A protective cover 71 is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the processing table 1. The protective cover 71 is located outside the gear 24 and the rack 25. The rotating shaft 22 is rotatably connected to the protective cover 71. The protective cover 71 can protect the gear 24 and the rack 25 and prevent foreign objects from entering them and affecting their normal operation.

[0026] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 5 as well as Figure 6The adjustment components include slide grooves 31 respectively opened on both sides of the top of the processing table 1, sliders 32 connected to the slide grooves 31, guide cylinders 33 connected to the top of the sliders 32, bidirectional screws 34 connected to the sliders 32, and a second motor 35 fixedly connected to one end of the bidirectional screws 34. The sliders 32 are slidably connected to the slide grooves 31, the bidirectional screws 34 are screwed to the sliders 32, the bidirectional screws 34 are rotatably connected to the processing table 1, and the guide cylinders 33 are rotatably connected to the sliders 32. When the second motor 35 is started, it can drive the bidirectional screws 34 to rotate, thereby controlling the two sliders 32 to move in opposite directions, which in turn causes the two guide cylinders 33 to move in opposite directions. This allows for limiting the movement of pipes of different sizes, facilitating subsequent adjustments. The bending process involves a fixed plate 41 fixedly connected to one side of the top of the processing table 1, a cylinder 42 fixedly connected to one side of the fixed plate 41, a movable frame 43 fixedly connected to the output end of the cylinder 42, and a bending wheel 44 rotatably connected inside the movable frame 43. The fixed plate 41 can fix the cylinder 42, and the cylinder 42 can push the movable frame 43 and the bending wheel 44 to move. Due to the presence of the guide cylinder 33, the pipeline can be bent. A guide rod 81 is fixedly connected to the front of the movable frame 43. The guide rod 81 passes through the fixed plate 41 and is slidably connected to the fixed plate 41. The guide rod 81 can move synchronously with the movable frame 43. The guide rod 81 can improve the stability of the movable frame 43 and prevent the movable frame 43 from tilting.

[0027] Working principle: During operation, the pipeline is placed on top of the support base 27. Then, the third motor 54 is started, which drives the first screw 53 to rotate. The rotation of the first screw 53 causes the moving block 52 to move downward, which in turn causes the positioning seat 55 to move downward, thereby pressing and fixing the pipeline. Then, the second motor 35 is started, which drives the bidirectional screw 34 to rotate. The rotation of the bidirectional screw 34 causes the two sliders 32 to move. The movement of the sliders 32 causes the guide cylinder 33 to move, making the guide cylinder 33 contact the pipeline. Then, the cylinder 42 is started, and the cylinder 42 can operate... Moving the movable frame 43 and the movable block 52 can move the bending wheel 44, which can bend the pipeline. The cylinder 42 resets, which in turn resets the bending wheel 44. The first motor 23 starts, which can drive the rotating shaft 22 and the gear 24 to rotate. The rotation of the gear 24 can drive the rack 25 to move. The movement of the rack 25 can drive the movable seat 26 to move, which in turn can drive the support seat 27 to move, which in turn can drive the pipeline to move. Then the pipeline can be bent again. The above is the working process of the entire device. All contents not described in detail in this specification are existing technologies known to those skilled in the art.

[0028] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
