Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of straightening machine technology, and in particular to a straightening machine with a clamping structure. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, many countries have adopted automated straightening equipment technology to replace manual straightening equipment technology, among which the straightening equipment technology for hollow pipe fittings is particularly complex. In order to achieve the clamping and rotation measurement of hollow pipe fittings before straightening, the clamping device of the straightening machine needs to be able to move in multiple directions, and there are certain requirements for the accuracy of the movement displacement.
[0003] In the prior art, the clamping device of a general straightening machine is difficult to completely clamp the moving hollow pipe, and cannot achieve vertical floating adjustment of the hollow pipe to make it close to a horizontal state, which affects the straightening process and increases the error. The applicant has designed a hollow pipe clamping structure, publication number: CN215657156U, but its defect is that it cannot rotate the pipe. In view of this, the applicant hereby applies for this invention. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem that the clamping device of the existing straightening machine is difficult to completely clamp the moving hollow tube, and cannot achieve vertical floating adjustment of the hollow tube to make it close to a horizontal state, which affects the straightening process and increases the error. Therefore, a straightening machine with a clamping structure is proposed.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A straightening machine with a clamping structure includes a worktable, a straightening box, and a clamping structure. A fixing block is fixedly connected to the upper end of the worktable, and the straightening box is mounted on the fixing block. The clamping structure is located outside the fixing block and includes a base plate 9 mounted on the worktable. A column is mounted on the base plate, and a rocker arm is mounted on the upper end of the column. One end of the rocker arm is rotatably connected to the column via a rocker arm shaft, and the other end of the rocker arm is connected to a drive cylinder. The output end of the drive cylinder is connected to a chuck, and the clamping surfaces of the chuck face the straightening box.
[0007] Furthermore, the correction box is open from left to right, with an upper pressure roller group arranged at the top inside and a lower pressure roller group arranged at the bottom to cooperate with the upper pressure roller group. The lower pressure roller group includes a mounting frame and multiple lower pressure rollers that rotate on the mounting frame.
[0008] Furthermore, the upper pressure roller assembly includes multiple single pressure roller components, and the single pressure roller frame includes a box assembly. The box assembly includes two parallel first and second boxes disposed on the top and bottom surfaces, with an interval area between the first and second boxes. Both the first and second boxes are provided with sliding grooves, and support blocks are disposed at the lower ends of the sliding grooves. A lower pressure roller is disposed between the two support blocks of the first and second boxes, and the lower pressure roller is located below the interval area. The lower pressure roller is connected to the two support blocks respectively via a rotating shaft. An adjustment interval area exists where the rotating shaft passes through the side walls of the first and second boxes. Springs are disposed within the sliding grooves of both the first and second boxes, with the lower ends of the springs connected to the support blocks. Prestress adjustment components are connected to the upper ends of the springs, and these prestress adjustment components are disposed within the sliding grooves. Adjustment screws are disposed on the top surface of each prestress adjustment component, and these adjustment screws pass through the top plate.
[0009] Furthermore, each of the worktables is fixedly connected to a mounting block at its upper end, and the upper ends of the two mounting blocks are fixedly connected to the same mounting bracket. The mounting bracket has through holes at both its upper and lower ends, and vertical shafts are slidably connected to the through holes of the mounting brackets. The two vertical shafts are fixedly connected to baffles 8 at their opposite outer ends, and extrusion blocks are fixedly connected to the opposite inner sides of the two vertical shafts. The two extrusion blocks are rotatably connected to rotating wheels at their opposite inner sides.
[0010] Furthermore, through holes are provided in the middle of both side walls of the mounting bracket, and the through holes of the mounting bracket are used in conjunction with the arc-shaped plate.

[0012] Furthermore, a lifting column is provided on the base plate, and the lifting column is located below the drive cylinder.
[0013] Furthermore, a transmission mechanism is connected to one of the lower pressure rollers near the end of the lower pressure roller group.
[0014] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are as follows: the upper and lower pressure roller groups inside the straightening box work together to perform multi-point pressure straightening on hollow tubes. Through the rolling and pressure action of the rollers, the bent portions of the tubes can be effectively straightened, restoring them to a near-straight state and improving the straightening effect. The single pressure roller in the upper pressure roller group adopts a box-type component design, with internal springs and prestress adjustment components. This allows for flexible adjustment of pressure according to the degree of bending and material characteristics of the tube, avoiding damage to the tube while ensuring the straightening effect. A clamping structure is designed, allowing adjustment of the chuck height via a rocker arm shaft. Simultaneously, the chuck can clamp the end face of the hollow tube and enable rotation.

The prestress adjustment components are set in the sliding grooves, and the top surface of the prestress adjustment components is provided with adjustment screws 56. The adjustment screws pass through the top plate 54. By rotating the adjustment nut, the compression of the spring can be changed, thereby adjusting the prestress. The adjustment range of the prestress is 100N to 500N, which can be adjusted according to the material and bending degree of the pipe fitting.
[0024] The upper end of the workbench 1 is fixedly connected to mounting blocks 12, and the upper ends of the two mounting blocks 12 are fixedly connected to the same mounting bracket 13.
