Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metal pipes, specifically to an outer wall opening device for metal pipe processing. Background Technology

[0002] Metal pipes are a common type of metal material, often used as supporting structures and conveying pipelines. To improve their performance, metal pipes undergo processes such as opening, cutting, and electroplating, which also require the use of some auxiliary equipment.

[0003] An opening in the outer wall of a metal pipe refers to a hole or notch created on the outer surface of the metal pipe. These openings come in various forms and exist to achieve specific functions, such as pipe connection, media diversion, or to create conditions for adding special devices. Openings are usually made using a drill bit, which is an operation method that involves drilling a circular hole in the outer wall of the metal pipe with the help of a drill bit.

[0004] The existing method of opening metal pipes involves using a drill bit. During use and observation, it has been found that the drill bit produces debris during the opening process. This debris spreads to the surrounding area as the drill bit rotates, making subsequent processing time-consuming.

[0005] Therefore, an external wall opening device for metal tube processing is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, at least one technical problem raised in the background art is solved.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: A metal pipe processing outer wall opening device of this utility model includes a workbench, a pair of fixed plates fixedly connected to the top of the workbench; a clamping plate is provided above the fixed plates; the fixed plates and the clamping plate are connected by multiple bolts; a support frame is fixedly connected to the middle of the workbench; a first cylinder is fixedly connected to the top of the support frame; a round rod is fixedly connected to the output end of the first cylinder; a square plate is fixedly connected to the end of the round rod; a pair of elastic plates are fixedly connected to the bottom of the square plates; a baffle is fixedly connected to the bottom of the elastic plates; the baffle is arc-shaped; a magnetic plate is rotatably connected to the bottom of the baffle; and one side of the... A magnet is installed inside the magnetic plate; an elastic cloth is fixed to the side wall of the magnetic plate; a collection box is fixed to the inner wall of the magnetic plate; an opening assembly is installed in the middle of the square plate; by using the opening assembly to process metal pipes, the baffle and elastic cloth can intercept the diffused debris, guiding it to stay inside the baffle during diffusion, thereby reducing the diffusion range. At the same time, the rotation of the magnetic plate after contact can guide the metal pipe through the angle of the magnetic plate's rotation, accelerating the speed at which the metal pipe enters the middle of the baffle.

[0008] Preferably, the inner wall of the baffle is provided with multiple air blowing holes; the outer wall of the baffle is fixedly connected with an air inlet pipe; the air blowing holes and the air inlet pipe are connected; by increasing the number of air blowing holes, debris can be cleaned from the opening of the metal pipe, thereby pushing the debris away from the surface of the metal pipe by the airflow ejected from the air blowing holes when it is attached, thus increasing the visual effect after the opening.

[0009] Preferably, a second cylinder is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the support frame; a push plate is fixedly connected to the output end of the second cylinder; the push plate is located on the surface of the worktable; a collection groove is provided in the middle of the worktable; the collection groove and the push plate are correspondingly arranged and the inner wall is inclined; by adding the push plate, the debris that falls onto the surface of the worktable during the processing of metal tubes can be processed and sent into the breaking collection groove, thereby collecting the debris cleaned from the surface of the worktable.

[0010] Preferably, a sliding plate is slidably connected to the top of the collection box; multiple bristles are fixed to the bottom of the sliding plate; by increasing the number of bristles, when there are many debris inside the collection box, the debris can be gathered by the bristles, making it easier to collect the scattered debris when cleaning the collection box, thus making it more convenient to clean the collection box.

[0011] Preferably, a magnetic rod is fixed inside the collection tank; multiple magnetic rods are arranged on the collection tank; by adding magnetic rods, the debris can be attracted and fixed by the magnetic force of the magnetic rods after entering the collection tank, so as to increase stability after entering the collection tank and reduce the range of movement when falling.

[0012] Preferably, a plurality of flexible pads are fixed to the bottom of the baffle; the surface of the flexible pads is arc-shaped; by adding flexible pads, the contact area between the baffle and the worktable can be increased by the deformation of the flexible pads when the baffle moves closer to the worktable, and finally the direct contact between the baffle and the worktable is reduced by the barrier of the flexible pads, thereby reducing frictional damage during movement.

[0013] The advantages of this utility model are:

[0014] 1. The metal tube processing outer wall opening device of this utility model allows the baffle and elastic cloth to intercept the diffused debris when processing the metal tube using the opening assembly. The debris is guided to stay inside the baffle during diffusion by the baffle and elastic cloth, thereby reducing the diffusion range. At the same time, the rotation of the magnetic plate after contact allows the metal tube to be guided by the angle of the magnetic plate after rotation when in contact with the metal tube. When the metal tube enters the middle of the baffle, the magnetic plate guides it to enter the middle of the baffle at a faster speed.

[0015] 2. The metal tube processing outer wall opening device of this utility model can clean debris from the opening of the metal tube by adding air blowing holes. When debris adheres, the airflow ejected from the air blowing holes pushes it away from the surface of the metal tube, thereby increasing the parallax effect after the opening.

[0023] 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 scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0024] Specific implementation examples are given below.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 5As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, an outer wall opening device for metal pipe processing includes a workbench 1. A pair of fixing plates 11 are fixedly connected to the top of the workbench 1. A clamping plate 12 is provided above the fixing plates 11. The fixing plates 11 and the clamping plate 12 are connected by a plurality of bolts 13. A support frame 14 is fixedly connected to the middle of the workbench 1. A first cylinder 15 is fixedly connected to the top of the support frame 14. A round rod 16 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first cylinder 15. A square plate 17 is fixedly connected to the end of the round rod 16. A pair of elastic plates 18 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the square plate 17. A baffle 19 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the elastic plate 18. The baffle 19 is designed in an arc shape; a magnetic plate 101 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the baffle 19; a magnet is installed inside the magnetic plate 101 on one side; an elastic cloth 102 is fixed to the side wall of the magnetic plate 101; a collection box 103 is fixed to the inner wall of the magnetic plate 101; an opening assembly 104 is installed in the middle of the square plate 17; during operation, the metal tube is first inserted between the fixed plate 11 and the clamping plate 12, and then the position where the opening is needed is aligned with the opening assembly 104. Then, multiple bolts 13 are rotated and tightened to bring the clamping plate 12 closer to the metal tube for clamping and fixing. Subsequently, the first cylinder 15 can be activated to move the round rod 1 As the round rod 16 moves downward, it pushes the square plate 17, causing the elastic plate 18 and the baffle 19 to move closer to the metal tube. During this movement, the magnetic plate 101 first contacts the metal tube and then rotates inward. As the round rod 16 continues to push, the metal tube moves through the surface of the magnetic plate 101 into the baffle 19. When the metal tube enters, it squeezes the baffle 19 to both sides, causing the elastic plate 18 to rotate. Simultaneously, the elastic cloth 102 contacts the metal tube, causing it to deform. After the metal tube enters the baffle 19, the magnetic plate 101 separates from the metal tube and returns to its original position. At this point, the magnetic... The magnet inside plate 101 will attract the magnetic plate 101 on the other side, thereby pulling and adsorbing it to keep it in its initial position. When the metal tube enters the baffle 19, the round rod 16 stops moving, and then the opening assembly 104 is activated to open it. At this time, the generated debris will come into contact with the opening assembly 104 and spread to the surroundings. When it spreads, it will come into contact with the elastic cloth 102 and the baffle 19 and be blocked. Then the debris on the inner wall of the baffle 19 will slide along the inner wall of the baffle 19 into the collection box 103 for collection. When the opening ends and the baffle 19 leaves the metal tube, the debris inside the collection box 103 can be collected and cleaned.By allowing the baffle 19 and elastic cloth 102 to intercept diffused debris when the metal tube is processed using the opening assembly 104, the debris is guided and contained within the baffle 19 during diffusion, thereby reducing the diffusion range. Simultaneously, the rotation of the magnetic plate 101 upon contact with the metal tube guides the metal tube through its angle of rotation, accelerating its entry into the center of the baffle 19.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the inner wall of the baffle 19 is provided with a plurality of air blowing holes 2; the outer wall of the baffle 19 is fixedly connected with an air inlet pipe 21; the air blowing holes 2 and the air inlet pipe 21 are connected; during operation, after the metal tube is processed using the opening assembly 104, the air inlet pipe 21 can be connected to an air pump to spray gas through the air blowing holes 2 onto the surface of the metal tube, thereby cleaning the debris attached to the surface of the metal tube and removing it from the surface of the metal tube, thus making the observation after the metal tube is opened more obvious; by adding air blowing holes 2, debris can be cleaned at the opening of the metal tube, and when the debris is attached, it is pushed away from the surface of the metal tube by the airflow sprayed from the air blowing holes 2, thereby increasing the observation effect after the opening.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, a second cylinder 3 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the support frame 14; a push plate 31 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second cylinder 3; the push plate 31 is located on the surface of the workbench 1; a collection groove 32 is provided in the middle of the workbench 1; the collection groove 32 and the push plate 31 are correspondingly arranged and their inner walls are inclined; during operation, when the opening assembly 104 processes the metal tube, the debris generated will splash as it comes into contact with the opening assembly 104, and at this time, some debris will fall onto the surface of the workbench 1 through the gap between the elastic cloth 102 and the metal tube. At this time, the second cylinder 3 can be activated to drive the push plate 31 to move along the surface of the worktable 1. When the push plate 31 moves, it will push the debris into the collection tank 32. After the debris enters the collection tank 32, it will slide along the inclined surface of the collection tank 32 to reach the deepest part of the collection tank 32. By adding the push plate 31, the debris that falls onto the surface of the worktable 1 during the processing of metal tubes can be processed and sent into the breaking collection tank 32, thereby collecting the debris cleaned from the surface of the worktable 1.

[0028] like Figures 4 to 5As shown, a sliding plate 4 is slidably connected to the top of the collection box 103; multiple bristles 41 are fixed to the bottom of the sliding plate 4; during operation, when there are many debris inside the collection box 103, the sliding plate 4 can be slid to drive the bristles 41 to clean the inside of the collection box 103. When the sliding plate 4 slides on the collection box 103, the bristles 41 will push the debris inside the collection box 103 to one end of the collection box 103, thereby gathering the debris when there is a lot of debris inside the collection box 103, and cleaning it quickly; by adding bristles 41, the debris can be gathered by the bristles 41 when there is a lot of debris inside the collection box 103, making it faster to collect the scattered debris when cleaning the collection box 103, thus making it more convenient to clean the collection box 103.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, a magnetic rod 5 is fixed inside the collection tank 32; multiple magnetic rods 5 are arranged on the collection tank 32; during operation, when the push plate 31 pushes the debris that falls onto the surface of the workbench 1, it will enter the collection tank 32. After the debris enters the collection tank 32, the magnetic rods 5 will attract these debris, causing them to quickly approach the surface of the magnetic rods 5. Finally, the magnetic force inside the magnetic rods 5 will attract and fix them to the surface of the magnetic rods 5. By adding magnetic rods 5, the debris can be attracted and fixed by the magnetic force of the magnetic rods 5 after entering the collection tank 32, which increases the stability after entering the collection tank 32 and reduces the range of movement when falling.

[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, a plurality of flexible pads 6 are fixed to the bottom of the baffle 19; the surface of the flexible pads 6 is arc-shaped; during operation, when the baffle 19 approaches the worktable 1, the flexible pads 6 will first contact the worktable 1, and then the flexible pads 6 will continuously deform due to the compression of the baffle 19 during contact, finally increasing the contact area with the worktable 1; by adding flexible pads 6, the contact area with the worktable 1 can be increased by the deformation of the flexible pads 6 when the baffle 19 approaches the worktable 1, and finally the direct contact between the baffle 19 and the worktable 1 is reduced by the barrier of the flexible pads 6, thereby reducing frictional damage during movement.

[0031] Working principle: First, insert the metal tube between the fixing plate 11 and the clamping plate 12, then align the desired opening position with the opening assembly 104. Then, rotate and tighten multiple bolts 13 to bring the clamping plate 12 closer to the metal tube for clamping and fixing. Next, activate the first cylinder 15 to move the round rod 16 downwards. As the round rod 16 moves downwards, it pushes the square plate 17, causing the elastic plate 18 and the baffle 19 to move closer to the metal tube. During this movement, the magnetic plate 101 first contacts the metal tube and then rotates inwards. As the round rod 16 continues to push, the metal tube moves through the surface of the magnetic plate 101 into the baffle 19. When the metal tube enters, it squeezes the baffle 19 to both sides, thus actuating the elastic plate 18. Plate 18 drives baffle 19 to rotate, and at the same time, elastic cloth 102 comes into contact with the metal tube, causing elastic cloth 102 to deform. When the metal tube enters the interior of baffle 19, magnetic plate 101 will leave contact with the metal tube and return to its original position. At this time, the magnet inside magnetic plate 101 will exert an attractive force on the other side of magnetic plate 101, thereby pulling and adsorbing it to maintain its initial position. After the metal tube enters the interior of baffle 19, the round rod 16 stops moving, and then the opening assembly 104 is activated to open it. At this time, the generated debris will come into contact with the opening assembly 104 and spread to the surroundings. When spreading, it will come into contact with elastic cloth 102 and baffle 19 and be blocked. Subsequently, the debris on the inner wall of baffle 19 will move along the edge of the baffle. The baffle 19 slides along the inner wall into the collection box 103 for collection. Once the opening is complete and the baffle 19 leaves the metal tube, the debris inside the collection box 103 can be collected and cleaned. After processing the metal tube using the opening assembly 104, the air inlet pipe 21 can be connected to an air pump to spray air through the air outlet 2 onto the surface of the metal tube, cleaning the debris adhering to the surface and removing it. This makes the observation after opening the metal tube more obvious. When the opening assembly 104 processes the metal tube, the debris generated will splash upon contact with it. At this time, some debris will fall onto the workbench 1 surface through the gap between the elastic cloth 102 and the metal tube. Activating the second cylinder 3 causes the push plate 31 to move along the surface of the worktable 1. When the push plate 31 moves, it pushes the debris into the collection tank 32. Once the debris enters the collection tank 32, it slides along the slope of the collection tank 32 to reach the deepest part of the collection tank 32. When there is a lot of debris inside the collection box 103, the slide plate 4 can be slid to drive the brush bristles 41 to clean the inside of the collection box 103. When the slide plate 4 slides on the collection box 103, the brush bristles 41 push the debris inside the collection box 103 to one end of the collection box 103. Thus, when there is a lot of debris inside the collection box 103, the debris is collected and cleaned quickly.When the pusher plate 31 pushes the debris that falls onto the surface of the workbench 1, it enters the collection tank 32. Once inside the collection tank 32, the magnetic rod 5 attracts the debris, causing it to quickly move towards its surface. Finally, the magnetic force inside the magnetic rod 5 holds the debris in place. When the baffle plate 19 approaches the workbench 1, the flexible pad 6 first contacts the workbench 1. During this contact, the flexible pad 6 deforms continuously due to the pressure from the baffle plate 19, ultimately increasing the contact area with the workbench 1.

[0032] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
