Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of flaring machine technology, specifically a metal pipe flaring machine. Background Technology

[0002] Metal pipes are widely used in air conditioning, refrigeration, automobiles, construction machinery, and many other fields. The flaring process at the ends of these metal pipes is a fundamental and crucial step. The quality of the flaring directly affects the pipe's sealing performance, connection reliability, and the stability of subsequent assembly processes. Existing flaring equipment typically operates manually or semi-automatically. This involves manually inserting a tapered flaring tip into the end of the metal pipe and then rotating it to plastically deform the material, thus forming the flared end.

[0003] In existing flaring machines, the conical flaring head needs to maintain continuous contact with the end of the metal pipe and apply rotational force during the flaring process. To avoid generating excessive friction and heat during flaring, the surface of the flaring head needs to be lubricated. Currently, the common practice is to manually apply grease to the flaring head or the inner wall of the metal pipe beforehand, which requires a significant amount of manpower. Furthermore, the clamping mechanism of existing flaring machines typically uses a fixed structure, requiring disassembly and reassembly of the clamping mold or replacement of the entire clamp when clamping pipes of different diameters, making the operation complex and time-consuming.

[0004] Therefore, this utility model provides a metal pipe flaring machine to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0041] Example 1:

[0042] Please see Figure 1 A metal pipe flaring machine includes a base plate 1, with support legs 2 symmetrically fixed to the bottom wall of the base plate 1, and further includes:

[0043] A flaring seat 4 has a conical flaring head 5 rotatably mounted on one side. The flaring seat 4 is equipped with a motor that drives the conical flaring head 5 to rotate. The bottom end of the flaring seat 4 is mounted on the top wall of the base plate 1 via a translation component 3.

[0044] Lubrication component 7 is installed above the conical expansion head 5 and is fixed to the top wall of the base plate 1 by an L-shaped plate 6.

[0045] The clamping assembly is fixed to the right end of the base plate 1 and is used to clamp the metal tube to be flared.

[0046] In this embodiment, a motor installed in the flaring seat 4 drives the conical flaring head 5 to rotate, and the flaring head 5 is moved by the translation component 3 to realize the flaring operation of the metal tube. The lubrication component 7 can automatically apply grease to the conical flaring head 5 without manual application. The clamping component can clamp and fix the metal tube to be flared, and at the same time, it can facilitate the replacement of the clamping mold, making the operation simple and convenient.

[0047] Example 2:

[0048] Please see Figure 1-4This embodiment provides a technical solution based on Embodiment 1:

[0049] The clamping assembly includes a mounting housing 8, and a bidirectional screw 9 is rotatably mounted inside the mounting housing 8;

[0050] One end of the bidirectional screw 9 passes through the side wall of the mounting housing 8 via a bearing and is fixed with a handwheel 11. Screw blocks 10 are screwed onto the rods on both sides of the bidirectional screw 9.

[0051] The screw blocks 10 are slidably installed between the inner walls of the mounting shell 8, and the top walls of the screw blocks 10 are rotatably connected to the connecting rods 12;

[0052] A clamping mechanism 13 is installed between the two connecting rods 12.

[0053] A strip-shaped through groove is provided on the top wall of the mounting shell 8 at the position corresponding to the connecting rod 12, and the connecting rod 12 is slidably installed in the corresponding strip-shaped through groove.

[0054] The clamping mechanism 13 includes two symmetrically arranged C-shaped blocks 131 and a clamping mold 134 mounted on the C-shaped blocks 131. The bottom end of the C-shaped blocks 131 is rotatably connected to the top wall of the mounting shell 8, the outer wall of the C-shaped blocks 131 is rotatably connected to the top end of the connecting rod 12, and the inner wall of the C-shaped blocks 131 is provided with an arc-shaped mounting groove 132.

[0055] A slot 133 is provided in the arc-shaped mounting groove 132, and a magnet is fixed in the slot 133;

[0056] Iron clips 135 are fixed to the outer wall of the clamping mold 134.

[0057] In this embodiment, the clamping assembly can clamp and fix the metal tube to be flared, and it can also facilitate the replacement of the clamping mold, making the operation simple and convenient. When clamping and fixing the metal tube, firstly, select a suitable clamping mold 134 according to actual needs, and install the clamping mold 134 on the C-shaped block 131. During installation, directly insert the locking block 135 on the clamping mold 134 into the corresponding locking slot 133. The iron locking block 135 is attracted by the magnet in the locking slot 133, thereby fixing the clamping mold 134 in the arc-shaped mounting groove 132. Then, turn the handwheel 11, which drives the bidirectional screw 9 to rotate. The bidirectional screw 9 drives the two screw blocks 10 to move towards each other. During the movement of the screw blocks 10, the two C-shaped blocks 131 move closer to each other through the connecting rod 12 until the two C-shaped blocks 131 merge, thus completing the clamping and fixing of the metal tube.

[0058] The translation component 3 includes a U-shaped seat 31, which is fixed to the top wall of the base plate 1. A lead screw 32 is rotatably installed between the inner walls of the U-shaped seat 31, and a drive motor 34 is fixed to the outer wall of the U-shaped seat 31.

[0059] A lead screw nut 33 is screwed onto the lead screw 32;

[0060] A connecting plate 35 is fixed to the top of the lead screw nut 33;

[0061] The top wall of the connecting plate 35 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the flared seat 4, and two sliders 36 are symmetrically fixed to the bottom wall of the connecting plate 35.

[0062] Two parallel slide rails 37 are symmetrically fixed to the top wall of the U-shaped seat 31, and the slider 36 is slidably installed on the corresponding slide rail 37.

[0063] The drive shaft of the drive motor 34 passes through the side wall of the U-shaped seat 31 via a bearing and is fixedly connected to one end of the lead screw 32.

[0064] The drive motor 34 is either a servo motor or a stepper motor.

[0065] In this embodiment, the translation component 3 is used to drive the flaring seat 4 to move back and forth, thereby driving the tapered flaring head 5 to flare the end of the metal tube. When the translation component 3 is working, it controls the drive motor 34 to work. The drive motor 34 drives the lead screw 32 to rotate. The lead screw 32 drives the connecting plate 35 to move through the lead screw nut 33, which in turn drives the flaring seat 4 to move. The slide rail 37, together with the slider 36, can guide the movement of the connecting plate 35. The drive motor 34 is a servo motor or a stepper motor to ensure that the lead screw 32 can rotate in both directions.

[0066] The lubrication assembly 7 includes an electric actuator 71 and a storage box 72. The electric actuator 71 is fixed on the top wall of the L-shaped plate 6. The movable end of the bottom of the electric actuator 71 passes through the top wall of the L-shaped plate 6 and is fixed with a connecting post 73.

[0067] The bottom end of the connecting column 73 penetrates the top wall of the storage box 72 and is fixedly connected to an inclined piston plate 74;

[0068] Piston plate 74 is slidably mounted between the inner walls of storage box 72;

[0069] One side of the bottom wall of the storage box 72 is inclined and a brush bristle 75 is fixed at the bottom. The other side of the bottom wall of the storage box 72 is arc-shaped and a ball bearing 76 is rotatably installed at the bottom.

[0070] A feeding port 77 is provided on one side of the storage box 72. A threaded cover 78 is screwed onto the storage box 72 at the position corresponding to the feeding port 77. Lubricating grease is filled between the bottom wall of the piston plate 74 and the bottom wall of the inner cavity of the storage box 72. Several through holes are provided on the inclined wall at the bottom of the storage box 72.

[0071] In this embodiment, the lubrication component 7 enables automatic application of grease to the conical flaring head 5, eliminating the need for manual application and simplifying the operation. During the flaring operation, the translation component 3 first moves the conical flaring head 5 below the storage box 72, aligning the arc-shaped bottom of the storage box 72 with the cylindrical portion of the conical flaring head 5. Then, the electric push rod 71 extends until the ball bearing 76 adheres to the cylindrical surface of the conical flaring head 5. The motor inside the flaring seat 4 then rotates the conical flaring head 5 at low speed. The electric push rod 71 continues to extend, preventing the storage box 72 from moving further downwards due to the obstruction of the conical flaring head 5. The piston plate 74, under the action of the electric push rod 71, forces the grease from the storage box 72 through the through-hole onto the brush bristles 75, thus applying grease to the conical flaring head 5. The feeding port 77 allows for convenient replenishment of grease into the storage box 72, and the threaded cap 78 seals the feeding port 77.
