Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of metal processing technology, specifically to a metal tube processing workbench. Background Technology
[0002] In current mechanical equipment processing and on-site material fabrication, machining workbenches are frequently used when manually handling metal parts to facilitate operations such as pipe modification, drilling, and welding. Modern metal processing workbenches typically consist of a high-strength tabletop, drilling tools, a power interface, and auxiliary positioning devices, and can be used in various process scenarios including machining, welding assembly, and testing and debugging. Compared to simple workbenches, these workbenches significantly improve processing stability and process integration efficiency, especially demonstrating compatibility and scalability advantages in complex process integration or multi-station collaborative operations. However, the clamping mechanisms of current traditional metalworking workbenches are not convenient for clamping and moving tubular workpieces. Operators often need to use general-purpose fixtures or apply manual pressure for temporary fixation. Uneven distribution of clamping force can easily cause the tubing to slide, deflect, or vibrate during processing. This not only affects the accuracy of drilling, cutting, and other processes, but also requires frequent pauses to adjust the clamping status. In addition, the lack of quick-change tubing-compatible fixtures means that a lot of time needs to be spent recalibrating when processing tubing of different specifications, which further increases the workload, restricts the efficiency of batch processing, and makes the labor intensity of operators high.
[0003] Therefore, this application proposes a metal tube processing worktable that facilitates the switching of clamping and moving states of metal tubes and effectively limits their movement. Utility Model Content

[0006] The clamping component is equipped with a rolling clamp and a rubber clamp. The rubber clamp is located on both sides of the rolling clamp. The lower part of the rubber clamp is rotatably connected to the switching mechanism. The rolling clamp limits the pipe fitting through the elastic force. The rotation of the turntable drives the pipe fitting to rotate to change the position of the pipe fitting. The switching mechanism drives the rubber clamp to clamp the pipe fitting. The switching mechanism simultaneously drives the turntable to lock, so as to fix the pipe fitting.
[0007] The rolling clamp and turntable allow the metal pipe fitting to rotate around the turntable while being confined, simultaneously rotating and shifting horizontally. This makes the movement of the metal pipe fitting easier to control, allowing operators to process it more conveniently. A switching mechanism drives the turntable to lock and the rubber clamp to hold the metal pipe fitting, effectively fixing it in place. Rapid switching between clamping states significantly improves processing efficiency, reduces worker workload, and enhances construction convenience.

The lower end of the fixed plate is inserted into the turntable. The sliding groove is opened on the surface of the fixed plate. The lower end of the rolling clamp is slidably connected to the fixed plate through the sliding groove. One end of the first spring is engaged with the inner side of the fixed plate, and the other end of the first spring is engaged with the outer side of the rolling clamp. The ball bearings are evenly distributed on the inner surface of the rolling clamp. The middle part of the L-shaped telescopic rotating rod is hinged to the side of the fixed plate. The telescopic end of the L-shaped telescopic rotating rod is hinged to the switching mechanism. The other end of the L-shaped telescopic rotating rod is fixedly connected to the rubber clamp.
[0009] Furthermore, the rolling clamp is configured as an L-shaped telescopic sliding type, so as to shorten the rolling clamp spacing while the pipe fitting slides through the ball bearings, and a limit block is provided at the telescopic sliding part of the rolling clamp.
[0010] Furthermore, the switching mechanism includes a connecting pin, a vertical rod, a rotating handle, a sliding rod, and a drive assembly; the two ends of the connecting pin are hinged to the telescopic ends of the L-shaped telescopic rotating rod, the middle part of the connecting pin is fixedly connected to the upper end of the vertical rod, the lower end of the vertical rod extends through the turntable to the bottom of the panel, the upper parts of both sides of the rotating handle are fixedly inserted into the lower ends of the two sets of vertical rods respectively, and the middle part of the rotating handle is connected to the sliding rod with a limited rotational connection, so that the rotating handle rotates around the sliding rod while driving the sliding rod to move in the vertical direction.
[0011] Furthermore, a through hole is provided in the center of the turntable, and a uniformly toothed groove is provided around the lower circumference of the through hole. The middle part of the sliding rod is slidably connected to the shelf with a limit, so that the sliding rod can only move in the vertical direction; a locking pin is fixedly connected to the upper end of the sliding rod, and the locking pin is provided with teeth on its periphery, and the locking pin can be separably engaged with the toothed groove. The drive assembly includes an extension rod, a second spring, and a pedal; one end of the extension rod is bolted to the lower end of the sliding rod, and the other end of the extension rod is fixedly connected to the pedal. The lower end of the extension rod is elastically connected to the connecting frame through the second spring; the upper end of the toothed groove is an inclined surface to facilitate the locking pin to engage.
[0012] By incorporating a switching mechanism that extends close to the ground and a foot pedal, operators can control the clamping status of the clamping parts and the turntable by foot pedaling. This allows for quick and convenient clamping and unlocking of metal pipes without the need for hand use, effectively improving the ease of operation of the processing workbench and enhancing the operator's experience.
[0013] Compared with existing technologies, it has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] This utility model provides a metal pipe processing workbench. The rotating clamp and turntable allow the metal pipe to rotate around the turntable while being confined, simultaneously rotating and shifting horizontally. This facilitates control over the movement of the metal pipe, making processing more convenient for operators. A switching mechanism locks the turntable and clamps the metal pipe with rubber clamps, effectively securing it. Rapid switching between clamping states significantly improves processing efficiency, reduces operator workload, and enhances ease of operation. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0022] 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 protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] Please see Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a metal pipe processing workbench, including a support frame 1, a panel 2 and a turntable 3; the support frame 1 is fixedly connected to the panel 2, the turntable 3 is rotatably connected to the panel 2, and the turntable 3 is provided with a clamping member 4 for limiting and clamping the pipe fittings; the lower end of the clamping member 4 is connected to a switching mechanism 5 for switching the state of the clamping member 4.
[0024] The clamping member 4 is equipped with a rolling clamp 6 and a rubber clamp 7. The rubber clamp 7 is located on both sides of the rolling clamp 6. The lower part of the rubber clamp 7 is rotatably connected to the switching mechanism 5. The rolling clamp 6 limits the pipe fitting through the elastic force. The rotation of the turntable 3 drives the pipe fitting to rotate to change the position of the pipe fitting. The switching mechanism 5 drives the rubber clamp 7 to clamp the pipe fitting. The switching mechanism 5 simultaneously drives the turntable 3 to lock, so as to fix the pipe fitting.
[0025] See Figure 1 A sweeping brace 11 is fixedly installed between the lower parts of the two sets of support frames 1, and a connecting frame 12 is fixedly installed between the two sets of sweeping braces 11. A shelf 13 is bolted to the middle of the support frame 1. The sweeping brace 11 is set between the two sets of support frames 1 that are far apart, which further strengthens the support strength of the workbench and enhances its stability. The shelf 13 is bolted to the support frame 1 on all sides. The shelf can be used to organize and place commonly used tools in metal processing, making them easy to access during the metal processing process.
[0026] The panel 2 has an opening in the middle, and the turntable 3 is rotatably connected to the panel 2 through the opening. This rotatable connection is equipped with a certain damping to prevent the turntable 3 from being easily disturbed and causing it to rotate or rotate excessively.
[0027] As another embodiment, such as Figures 2 to 4As shown, two sets of clamping components 4 are symmetrically arranged on the upper end of the turntable 3. The clamping component 4 includes a fixed plate 41, a sliding groove 42, a ball bearing 43, a first spring 44, and an L-shaped telescopic rotating rod 45. The lower end of the fixed plate 41 is inserted into the turntable 3. The sliding groove 42 is opened on the surface of the fixed plate 41. The lower end of the rolling clamp 6 is slidably connected to the fixed plate 41 through the sliding groove 42. One end of the first spring 44 is engaged with the inner side of the fixed plate 41, and the other end of the first spring 44 is engaged with the outer side of the rolling clamp 6. The ball bearings 43 are evenly arranged on the inner surface of the rolling clamp 6. The middle part of the L-shaped telescopic rotating rod 45 is hinged to the side of the fixed plate 41. The telescopic end of the L-shaped telescopic rotating rod 45 is hinged to the switching mechanism 5. The other end of the L-shaped telescopic rotating rod 45 is fixedly connected to the rubber clamp 7.
[0028] Among them, the fixed plate 41 has a Z-shaped structure, and the rolling clamp 6 and the fixed plate 41 are connected by a limited sliding connection through the slide groove 42, so that the rolling clamp 6 can only slide along the direction of the slide groove 42. Driven by the first spring 44, the two sets of rolling clamps 6 approach each other in the normal state.
[0029] When processing metal pipes, the metal pipe is placed on the upper part of the rolling clamp 6 and pushed downwards, causing the pipe to squeeze the two sets of rolling clamps 6 apart. Then, the metal pipe is placed between the two sets of rolling clamps 6. Under the action of the first spring 44, the rolling clamp 6 always clamps the metal pipe, and the force of the first spring 44 on both sides tends to be the same, so that the rolling clamp 6 always remains in the center position. In this state, pulling the metal pipe can drive the turntable 3 to rotate. At the same time, under the action of the ball bearing 43, the metal pipe can be pulled to rotate itself and move horizontally along the length of the rolling clamp 6, which makes it easier for the operator to change the position of the metal pipe and perform processing operations in different directions.
[0030] See Figure 4 The rolling clamp 6 is designed in an L-shaped telescopic sliding form to shorten the distance between the rolling clamps 6 while the pipe slides through the ball bearings 43. A limit block 61 is provided at the telescopic sliding part of the rolling clamp 6. The rolling clamp 6 is configured in two symmetrical sets, with the short side of the L-shape of one set sliding in the other set. At the same time, the upper part of the short side of the L-shape is also provided with ball bearings 43, and the limit plate prevents the ball bearings 43 from colliding with the outer layer of the telescopic part. The upper end of the rolling clamp 6 is provided with an inclined part, which makes it easier to open the rolling clamp 6 by pressing down on the metal pipe.
[0031] After the metal pipe is moved to the required angle and position, the L-shaped telescopic rod 45 is rotated by the switching mechanism 5, which causes the two sets of rubber clamps 7 to rotate closer to each other and clamp the metal pipe. Due to the high friction of the rubber and the multiple sets of rubber clamps 7, the pipe cannot move. At the same time, the switching mechanism 5 locks the turntable 3, preventing the pipe from making circular motion, thus achieving the locking effect on the pipe.
[0032] As another embodiment, such as Figures 2 to 6 As shown, the switching mechanism 5 includes a connecting pin 51, a vertical rod 52, a rotating handle 53, a sliding rod 54, and a drive assembly 55. The two ends of the connecting pin 51 are hinged to the telescopic ends of the L-shaped telescopic rotating rod 45. The middle part of the connecting pin 51 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the vertical rod 52. The lower end of the vertical rod 52 extends through the turntable 3 to the bottom of the panel 2. The upper parts of both sides of the rotating handle 53 are fixedly inserted into the lower ends of the two sets of vertical rods 52 respectively. The middle part of the rotating handle 53 is connected to the sliding rod 54 with a limited rotational connection, so that the rotating handle 53 rotates around the sliding rod 54 while driving the sliding rod 54 to move in the vertical direction.
[0033] The connecting pin 51 and the extension end of the L-shaped telescopic rod 45 are hinged with a limit, which prevents the rubber clamps 7 from rotating excessively to both sides. At the same time, the L-shaped telescopic rod 45 will not disengage from the connecting pin 51. When the pipe is fixed and clamped, the sliding rod 54 is driven by the drive assembly 55 to generate a downward vertical displacement, which in turn drives the rotating handle 53 to move synchronously. The displacement of the rotating handle 53 causes the vertical rod 52 to move vertically. The vertical rod 52 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the turntable 3. The downward displacement of the vertical rod 52 causes the connecting pin 51 to move vertically and pull the L-shaped telescopic rod 45 to rotate, which causes the two sets of rubber clamps 7 to rotate closer to each other and clamp the pipe. The L-shaped telescopic rod 45 extends and retracts during the rotation to compensate for the horizontal displacement generated by the circular motion.
[0034] When the pipe is rotated in a circular motion, the rolling clamp 6 and the clamping member 4 rotate synchronously, which in turn drives the turntable 3 to rotate, so that the vertical rod 52 drives the rotating handle 53 to rotate synchronously, and the sliding rod 54 is limited and will not rotate.
[0035] See Figure 3 as well as Figure 5 The turntable 3 has a through hole 31 in the middle, and the lower end of the through hole 31 is provided with a uniform toothed groove 32.
[0036] See Figure 5 The middle part of the sliding rod 54 is connected to the shelf 13 with a limit sliding connection so that the sliding rod 54 can only move in the vertical direction; a locking pin 541 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the sliding rod 54, and teeth are provided on the periphery of the locking pin 541. The locking pin 541 can be separably engaged with the toothed groove 32.
[0037] The sliding connection between the shelf plate 13 and the sliding rod 54 provides a limit to the sliding rod 54, preventing it from deflecting or rotating, thereby improving the stability of the device. When clamping the pipe fitting, the drive assembly 55 drives the sliding rod 54 to slide downward. While the rubber clamp 7 clamps the pipe fitting, the locking pin 541 at the upper end of the sliding rod 54 is driven to move downward. The locking pin 541 enters the toothed groove 32, locking the turntable 3 with the sliding rod 54, preventing the turntable 3 from rotating. Under normal conditions, the teeth of the locking pin 541 do not contact the inner wall of the turntable 3, thus not affecting the normal rotation of the turntable 3.
[0038] See Figure 5 as well as Figure 6 The drive assembly 55 includes an extension rod 551, a second spring 552, and a pedal 553. One end of the extension rod 551 is bolted to the lower end of the sliding rod 54, and the other end of the extension rod 551 is fixedly connected to the pedal 553. The lower end of the extension rod 551 is elastically connected to the connecting frame 12 through the second spring 552.
[0039] When the operator needs to clamp the pipe fitting, pressing the pedal 553 will cause the extension rod 551 to move downwards, which in turn drives the sliding rod 54 to slide downwards, so that the rubber clamp 7 clamps the pipe fitting and locks the turntable 3. After releasing the pedal 553, the extension plate will be pushed back to the initial position by the second spring 552, and the device will unlock accordingly.
[0040] It should be noted that the upper end of the toothed groove 32 is an inclined surface to facilitate the engagement of the locking pin 541.
[0041] Working principle: When processing metal pipes, the metal pipe is placed on the upper part of the rolling clamp 6 and pushed downwards, causing the pipe to squeeze the two sets of rolling clamps 6 apart, and then the metal pipe is placed between the two sets of rolling clamps 6. Under the action of the first spring 44, the rolling clamps 6 always hold the metal pipe. In this state, pulling the metal pipe will drive the turntable 3 to rotate, and at the same time, it can pull the metal pipe to rotate itself and move horizontally. After the metal pipe is moved to the required angle and position, stepping on the pedal 553 will cause the sliding rod 54 to move downwards, thereby driving the L-shaped telescopic rotating rod 45 to rotate, causing the two sets of rubber clamps 7 to rotate closer to each other and clamp the metal pipe. At the same time, the locking pin 541 falls into the toothed groove 32 to lock the turntable 3, achieving the locking effect of the pipe.
[0042] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
