Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive pipe bending inspection technology, and in particular to a pipe bending inspection tool. Background Technology
[0002] In automobiles, bent pipes are primarily used in braking system lines, intake lines, and exhaust system components. The bent brake line design effectively accommodates the movement between the vehicle body and frame, preventing metal fatigue fracture. This design also reduces line tension, ensuring the reliability of the braking system under complex operating conditions. Some models use 90-degree silicone elbows in their intake pipes, mainly for intercooler turbochargers or engine intake systems. These elbows are high-temperature resistant and pressure-resistant, optimizing engine intake efficiency. In the exhaust system, the bent bellows act as a buffer, reducing vibration and noise while accommodating thermal expansion during engine operation.
[0003] Traditional pipe bending inspection typically uses multiple independent support blocks and positioning pins. Operators need to align the pipes one by one with each positioning point, which is a tedious and time-consuming process with low inspection efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.
[0024] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution for a pipe bending inspection tool: a pipe bending inspection tool includes a workbench 1, a column 2 fixedly connected to the top of the workbench 1, a clamping base 3 fixedly connected to the top of the column 2, a clamping device 4 installed on the top of the clamping base 3, a pipe bending pressing platform 5 fixedly connected to the column 2 on one side of the clamping base 3, a quick pressing mechanism 6 installed on the pipe bending pressing platform 5, and an alignment detection mechanism 7 installed on the workbench 1 on one side of the column 2.
[0025] In this embodiment, the bend can be quickly clamped and positioned by the clamping device 4 and the quick clamping mechanism 6. The clamping device 4 has a common structure and will not be described in detail here. The quick clamping mechanism 6 is used to quickly position and fix the end of the bend, and the clamping device 4 clamps it quickly. The operator only needs to place and clamp once to complete the positioning, which greatly improves efficiency. The alignment detection mechanism 7 is provided to quickly align and detect the bend, which ensures the uniformity of the detection benchmark and the accuracy of the detection results. This inspection tool is simple and convenient to operate, reducing the labor intensity of the operator.
[0026] Furthermore, the rapid pressing mechanism 6 includes: a pressing column 61, which penetrates one side wall of the bending tube pressing platform 5, and is slidably connected to the bending tube pressing platform 5. One end of the pressing column 61 is fixedly connected to a ball 62, and the other end of the pressing column 61 away from the ball 62 is fixedly connected to a pressing sleeve 63. A spring 64 is sleeved on the pressing column 61.
[0027] In this embodiment, a quick-pressing mechanism 6 is provided to quickly press the end of the bent pipe. The quick-pressing mechanism 6 includes a pressing column 61, which penetrates one side wall of the bent pipe pressing platform 5 and runs horizontally through the platform. In use, the operator pulls the ball 62 outward to place the bent pipe to be tested on the bent pipe pressing platform 5. When the operator releases the ball 62, the pressing column 61 returns to its original position under the action of the spring 64. The pressing sleeve 63 presses the end of the bent pipe, thereby achieving quick pressing of the bent pipe and improving the testing efficiency.
[0028] Typically, the alignment detection mechanism 7 includes: a slide rail 71, with two sets of slide rails 71 arranged in parallel on the worktable 1. A slide plate 72 is slidably connected to the two sets of slide rails 71. A support column 73 is fixedly connected to one end of the slide plate 72. A first detection block 74 is fixedly connected to the top of the support column 73. A mounting plate 75 is fixedly connected to the other end of the slide plate 72. A second detection block 76 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 75.
[0029] In this embodiment, an alignment detection mechanism 7 is provided for aligning the bent pipe. The alignment detection mechanism 7 includes a slide rail 71, a slide plate 72 slidably connected to the slide rail 71, and a first detection block 74 and a second detection block 74 installed on the slide plate 72. Both detection blocks have bent pipe grooves for alignment and fitting with the bent pipe. The height and position of the first detection block 74 and the second detection block 74 are precisely manufactured based on the three-dimensional data of a qualified bent pipe part. During the detection, the slide plate 72 is pushed to fit with the bent pipe. If the bent pipe can fit smoothly and without any interference in the bent pipe grooves of the first detection block 74 and the second detection block 74, then the bent pipe part is qualified. If the bent pipe collides with, gets stuck with, or cannot fit with the bent pipe groove when placed on the inspection fixture, causing interference, it proves that the geometric dimensions of the bent pipe deviate from the design requirements.
[0030] Specifically, a baffle 8 is fixedly connected between the workbench 1 and the column 2 and the alignment detection mechanism 7.
[0031] In this embodiment, a baffle 8 is fixed between the column 2 and the alignment detection mechanism 7 on the workbench 1 to limit the detection position of the bent pipe. This facilitates quick detection of the bent pipe by cooperating with the second detection block 76.
[0032] In addition, the workbench 1 is fixedly connected to a limit mounting plate 9 on one side of the slide plate 72, and a limit rod 10 is provided on the limit mounting plate 9.
[0033] In this embodiment, a limiting mounting plate 9 is fixedly installed on the workbench 1, and a limiting rod 10 is fixed on the limiting mounting plate 9. The position of the limiting rod 10 corresponds to the position of the slide plate 72, which facilitates limiting the position of the slide plate 72.
[0034] In addition, a cross-shaped groove is provided on the pipe bending press 5.
[0035] In this embodiment, a cross-shaped groove is provided on the bending pipe pressing table 5, which is adapted to the bending pipe, facilitating rapid positioning of the bending pipe for inspection by placing the bending pipe in the groove. This improves inspection efficiency.
[0036] It should be noted that a handle 11 is provided at each end of the workbench 1.
[0037] In this embodiment, handles 11 are provided at both ends of the workbench 1 to facilitate the handling and movement of the device.
[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
