Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipe bending device technology, specifically a small pipe bending device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, in the steel structure and non-standard manufacturing fields, steel pipe bending is mainly solved by purchasing pre-made elbows and welding them to the pipes. Commonly available elbows on the market are mainly available in three standard angles: 45 degrees, 90 degrees, and 180 degrees. These angles are relatively limited. For pipes with other bending angles, such as 70 degrees, pre-made elbows are not available. The conventional approach is to use standard-angle elbows and cut them to create the bends, which is not only wasteful of materials but also difficult to control the angle. After welding, the joints are not smooth and have a poor appearance. For pipes requiring pressure testing, reducing the number of welded joints cannot improve the success rate of the test, and since the joints are all located at the pipe bends, the pipes are more prone to leakage. While some pipe bending machines are available on the market, they are complex in structure, expensive, have a narrow application range, and a high failure rate, making them difficult to promote. To solve the above problems, a small pipe bending device is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems by providing a small pipe bending device.

[0004] The specific solution of this utility model is as follows: a small pipe bending device, comprising: a housing, a roller at one end of the housing, the roller being rotatably connected to the housing, a positioning groove on the roller having an arc cross-section, a bending mechanism on one side of the roller, the bending mechanism comprising: a base, the base being disposed on the housing, a drive wheel on the base; the drive wheel comprising: a fixing sleeve, the fixing sleeve being a circular sleeve, an arc-shaped guide groove corresponding to the positioning groove on the upper part of the fixing sleeve having a circular cross-section, the arc-shaped guide groove matching the diameter of the positioning groove, a connecting frame on the arc-shaped guide groove, a rotating shaft on the connecting frame, a support on the base, the two ends of the rotating shaft being rotatably connected to the support, and a rocker arm on the connecting frame.

[0005] Furthermore, the housing is provided with a sliding groove, the base is provided with a slider, the base is slidably connected to the sliding groove, the housing is provided with a drive screw, the drive screw is threadedly connected to the slider, the two ends of the drive screw are rotatably connected to the housing, and one end of the housing is provided with a drive motor, the drive motor is fixedly connected to the drive screw.

[0006] Furthermore, the center of the cross-section of the arc-shaped guide groove can be concentric with the cross-section of the positioning groove.

[0007] Furthermore, the roller has upright plates at both ends, which are fixedly connected to the housing, and a rotating shaft is provided in the middle of the roller, which is rotatably connected to the upright plates.

[0008] Furthermore, the housing below the roller is provided with a clearance groove, and the lower part of the roller extends into the clearance groove.

[0009] Furthermore, a locking bolt is provided on the outer circumference of the fixed sleeve, and the locking bolt passes through the fixed sleeve and is threadedly connected to it.

[0010] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0011] 1. Flexible bending of non-standard angles, saving materials: Traditional methods require cutting standard elbows when dealing with non-standard angle pipe bending requirements (such as 70 degrees), resulting in material waste. This utility model, through the cooperation of the positioning groove on the roller and the arc-shaped guide groove on the drive wheel, can flexibly achieve pipe bending at different angles without the need for cutting standard elbows, effectively saving materials and reducing production costs.

[0012] 2. Improved Bending Quality: Standard elbows are often cut to create non-standard angle elbows, resulting in uneven transitions at the welded joints. This device, through its precise positioning groove and arc-shaped guide groove design, ensures uniform stress distribution on the pipe during bending, resulting in smooth transitions at the pipe joints after bending, effectively improving the quality and appearance of the pipe bending process.

[0013] 3. Improved Pressure Testing Success Rate: For pipelines requiring pressure testing, traditional methods are prone to leakage due to numerous joints located at bends, making it difficult to improve the success rate by reducing the number of welded joints. This invention reduces the number of welded joints and avoids concentrating joints at pipeline bends, thereby reducing the risk of leakage and improving the success rate of pipeline pressure testing.

[0014] 4. Simple structure, low cost, and strong applicability: Existing pipe bending machines on the market suffer from complex structures, high costs, narrow applicability, and high failure rates. This utility model features a simple structural design, achieving pipe bending through the rational coordination of components such as rollers, drive wheels, and a base. The drive screw and drive motor facilitate adjustment of the base position, adapting to the bending needs of pipes with different diameters and having a wide range of applications. Simultaneously, the simple structure reduces manufacturing costs and failure rates, making it easier to promote and apply.

[0015] 5. Easy to operate and adjust: The rocker arm on the connecting frame allows the operator to manually drive the drive wheel to rotate, thus achieving pipe bending; the drive motor and drive screw work together to accurately and conveniently adjust the position of the base, thereby adjusting the relative position of the drive wheel and roller to adapt to the bending operations of pipes of different specifications. The operation is convenient and quick, improving work efficiency. Attached Figure Description
