[0024] Reference Figures 1 to 4This utility model discloses a heat pipe bending device, comprising a worktable 1, a main bending shaft 2 fixedly connected to the upper end of the worktable 1, a turntable 3 rotatably connected to the main bending shaft 2, a slider 4 fixedly connected to the turntable 3, an annular groove 5 on the worktable 1, and a slider 4 slidably connected to the annular groove 5, providing guidance and support for the rotation of the turntable 3, ensuring the stability of the turntable 3's rotation, and restricting the movement trajectory of the turntable 3 so that it can only perform circular motion around the main bending shaft 2, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the bending angle. A first screw 6 is rotatably connected to the turntable 3, a first motor 7 is fixedly connected to the turntable 3, the output end of the first motor 7 is fixedly connected to the first screw 6, a moving block 8 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the first screw 6, a secondary bending shaft 9 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the moving block 8, a second screw 10 is rotatably connected to the worktable 1, a moving frame 11 is threadedly connected to the second screw 10, and a clamping device 12 is provided on the moving frame 11.

[0025] A fixed frame 13 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the turntable 3. A first gear 14 is fixedly connected to the fixed frame 13. A second motor 15 is fixedly connected inside the worktable 1. A second gear 16 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor 15. The first gear 14 meshes with the second gear 16. A third motor 17 is fixedly connected to the worktable 1. The output end of the third motor 17 is fixedly connected to the second screw 10.

[0026] The clamping device 12 includes an electric push rod 1201, a moving plate 1202, a fixed plate 1203, a fixed rod 1204, and a spring 1205. The electric push rod 1201 is fixedly connected to the moving frame 11, the output end of the electric push rod 1201 is fixedly connected to the moving plate 1202, and the fixed plate 1203 is fixedly connected to the fixed rod 1204, so as to realize the clamping and releasing operation of the heat pipe, realize automated clamping, and reduce manual intervention.

[0027] The fixed rod 1204 is slidably connected to the movable plate 1202, and the fixed plate 1203 is fixedly connected to the movable plate 1202.

The spring 1205 generates elastic force, which makes the fixed plate 1203 tightly clamp the heat pipe, ensuring that the heat pipe is fixed during the processing. Then, the first motor 7 outputs power to drive the first screw 6 to rotate, which in turn moves the moving block 8 and the secondary bending shaft 9 to adjust the relative position between the secondary bending shaft 9 and the main bending shaft 2. Next, the second motor 15 outputs power to drive the second gear 16 to rotate and mesh with the first gear 14 to rotate, which in turn drives the fixed frame 13 to rotate and the turntable 3 to rotate. In turn, the turntable 3 drives the secondary bending shaft 9 to rotate around the main bending shaft 2. The angle of the secondary bending shaft 9 is adjusted to apply bending force to the clamped heat pipe, so that the heat pipe is bent according to the predetermined angle and shape.
