Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipe bending auxiliary tools, and in particular to a manual tool for processing large bending radii of metal conduits. Background Technology
[0002] Metal conduits are an important component of aircraft engines, used to transport media such as fuel, lubricating oil, oxygen, and compressed air. The technical requirements for conduit manufacturing include strict acceptance standards for conduit outer diameter and wall thickness deviations, surface quality, conduit bending radius deviations, and roundness at bends.
[0003] Pipe bending is usually done using a pipe bending machine or mold forming. When the bending radius of the conduit product is too large, ordinary pipe bending machines cannot achieve it, and mold manufacturing costs are high and the application is limited. Therefore, a manual tool for processing conduits with large bending radii was designed.
[0004] In view of the problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art, it is necessary to research and design a new type of manual tool for machining large bending radii of metal conduits, so as to overcome the problems existing in the prior art. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the technical problems of existing pipe bending machines being unable to handle pipes with excessively large bending radii, having high manufacturing costs, and being limited to a single application, this invention provides a manual tool for processing metal pipes with large bending radii. This utility model primarily utilizes a simple support and guide structure combined with a replaceable disc to process pipes of different specifications and bending radii, overcoming the limitation of molds having a single application.
[0006] The technical means adopted in this utility model are as follows:
[0007] A hand tool for machining large bending radii of metal conduits includes: a disc, a base plate, a shaft A, a sliding support assembly, a roller assembly, a conduit, and a rotating support structure;
[0008] Furthermore, the disk and rotating support structure are mounted on the upper part of the base plate via shaft A, washers and shims, and can rotate freely around shaft A;
[0009] Furthermore, a roller assembly is provided on the rotating support structure;
[0010] Furthermore, the sliding support assembly is mounted on the base plate and located on one side of the disk;
[0011] Furthermore, the conduit passes through and is supported by the sliding support assembly. The front end of the conduit is placed between the disc and the roller assembly and is held by them. Rotating the rotating support structure causes the conduit to rotate with the disc to complete the bending work.
[0012] Furthermore, a blind hole for assembling shaft A is provided in the middle of the base plate, and an internal hexagon threaded hole is machined in the center of the blind hole for fixing shaft A by internal hexagon head bolts;
[0013] Furthermore, multiple parallel elongated through holes are machined on one side of the base plate for assembling the sliding bracket assembly;
[0014] Furthermore, a support plate is fitted to the lower part of the base plate.
[0015] Furthermore, the circumference of the disc is machined with shaped grooves.
[0016] Furthermore, the disc is a replaceable part; different sizes of discs can be replaced depending on the bending radius of the conduit.
[0017] Furthermore, the rotating support structure includes: a rotating support adjustment section, a rotating support connecting block, and a rotating support extension section;
[0018] Furthermore, the rotating support has two adjustment sections;
[0019] Furthermore, the front ends of the two rotating bracket adjustment sections are respectively mounted to the upper and lower ends of the disc via shaft A, and the rear ends are fixedly connected via rotating bracket connecting blocks;
[0020] Furthermore, the rear of the two rotating supports is machined with adjustment through holes along the length direction for assembling the roller assembly;
[0021] Furthermore, the rotating bracket connecting block is threaded with a rotating bracket extension section. When necessary, a sleeve can be added to the rotating bracket extension section to make operation easier.
[0022] Furthermore, the roller assembly includes: a roller, shaft B, and fastening bolts and nuts;
[0023] Furthermore, the roller has a shaped groove machined on its circumference, which cooperates with the shaped groove on the disc to guide and clamp the guide tube;
[0024] Furthermore, shaft B is mounted between the two rotating bracket adjustment sections by fastening bolts and nuts, and moves and is fixed in position along the adjustment through hole;
[0025] Furthermore, the roller is mounted on shaft B and rotates around shaft B, applying force to the guide tube for rolling. There is basically no hard displacement during the entire processing, which effectively avoids scratches and ensures the surface quality of the guide tube after processing.
[0026] Furthermore, the sliding support assembly includes: a lower support, an upper support, a connecting rod, a fixed upper plate, and a top rod;
[0027] Furthermore, the lower bracket is a rectangular block structure with a shaped groove machined in the middle of its upper end. Blind holes for assembling connecting rods are machined on both sides of the shaped groove, and countersunk holes are opened at the bottom of the blind holes. A countersunk hole for mounting on the base plate is provided on the outer side of each blind hole. The lower bracket is fixed to the elongated through hole of the base plate by bolts and nuts.
[0028] Furthermore, the upper support is a rectangular block structure, with a corresponding shaped groove machined in the middle of its lower end, which is the same as the shaped groove on the lower support. The two shaped grooves cooperate to clamp the guide tube. Through holes for connecting rods to pass through are machined on both sides of the shaped groove.
[0029] Furthermore, the fixed upper plate is a rectangular block structure with a threaded hole vertically machined in the middle for assembling the top rod; countersunk holes for fixing the connecting rod are assembled on both sides of the threaded hole.
[0030] Furthermore, the top rod is equipped with a crossbar for easy rotation and force application;
[0031] Furthermore, the length of the connecting rod is greater than the height of the upper bracket and the depth of the blind hole on the lower bracket;
[0032] Furthermore, after the connecting rod passes through the upper bracket, its bottom end is inserted into the blind hole on the lower bracket and fixed with bolts and nuts. Its upper end abuts against the bottom end of the fixed upper plate and is fixedly connected to the fixed upper plate with bolts and nuts, ensuring that the upper bracket moves downward along the guide of the connecting rod under the action of the top rod to position the guide tube.
[0033] The usage process of this utility model is as follows:
[0034] In use, the guide tube is passed through the gap between the roller assembly and the disc, inserted into the shaped hole of the sliding support assembly, and the rotating push rod is used to press the guide tube. By applying external force on the extension of the rotating support, the roller assembly applies force to the guide tube and rolls it along the shaped groove on the outer circle of the disc, thereby achieving the processing of the guide tube with a large bending radius. The rotation angle of the extension of the rotating support is limited to 270° in principle, and the bending radius is processed within the range of R200 to R600, which can ensure the surface quality, bending radius deviation and roundness of the guide tube after processing.
[0035] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0039] 4. The manual tool for processing large bending radii of metal conduits provided by this utility model has shaped holes on the mating surfaces of the upper and lower supports, which limit the conduit and increase the contact area for clamping force, thus ensuring both the clamping of the conduit and its roundness.
[0040] 5. The manual tool for processing large bending radii of metal conduits provided by this utility model has a roller assembly whose rollers rotate around an axis and apply force to the conduit for rolling. There is basically no hard displacement during the entire processing, which effectively avoids scratches and ensures the surface quality of the conduit after processing.
[0041] 6. The manual tool provided by this utility model for processing large bending radii of metal conduits can complete the processing of conduits with bending radii in the range of R200 to R600 within a 270° range, and can ensure the surface quality, bending radius deviation and roundness of the conduit after processing.
