[0003] During the assembly process, copper pipes may be damaged by impacts or lateral forces, causing the pipe ends to deform (become out of round). Manual pressing and straightening of the pipe ends is inefficient and labor-intensive. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an automatic correction mechanism for copper pipe ends.

[0024] 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.

[0025] refer to Figure 2-3An automatic calibration mechanism for copper pipe ends includes: a base 1, a telescopic drive 2, a calibration head 3, and a fixing fixture 4. The telescopic drive 2 is mounted on the base 1; the calibration head 3 is located at the output end of the telescopic drive 2 and is used to insert into the end of the copper pipe 5 to straighten the end of the copper pipe 5; the fixing fixture 4 is located on one side of the base 1 and is used to position the copper pipe 5; and after the copper pipe 5 is positioned, the end of the copper pipe 5 corresponds to the calibration head 3.

[0026] Understandably, base 1 is the base component used to install telescopic drive component 2, which can be, for example, a plate structure, frame structure, or machine body structure, but is not limited to these. Telescopic drive component 2 is the component that drives the alignment head 3 to telescopically move, which can be, for example, a cylinder or an electric push rod, but is not limited to these. Alignment head 3 is the component used to embed into the opening of copper tube 5 for alignment, and its shape needs to correspond to the shape of the opening of copper tube 5, for example, it can be cylindrical, bullet-shaped, or elliptical cylindrical, but is not limited to these. Fixture 4 is the component used to position copper tube 5, which can be, for example, a clamp or positioning groove, but is not limited to these.

[0027] Understandably, the fixing fixture 4 can position the copper tube 5 to prevent it from shifting, making the correction more stable. Since the copper tube 5 and the correction head 3 are corresponding, the correction head 3 can be directly inserted into the tube opening by the telescopic drive 2 to correct the opening of the copper tube 5 without manual operation, thus improving the correction efficiency. Moreover, compared with manual operation, the mechanical drive of the correction head 3 driven by the telescopic drive 2 can ensure consistency in the depth, force, and direction of each correction, thereby improving the correction effect on the opening of the copper tube 5.

[0028] In some embodiments, the output end of the telescopic drive 2 is set horizontally to drive the calibration head 3 to move horizontally.

[0029] Furthermore, the calibration mechanism also includes a guide plate 6, one end of which is horizontally movably mounted on the base 1, and the other end connected to the output end of the telescopic drive component 2; the calibration head 3 is mounted on the guide plate 6. Here, the movable arrangement of the guide plate 6 can employ a sliding fit structure with a sliding groove and slider, or a shaft-hole guide fit structure, etc., but is not limited to these. Thus, by installing the guide plate 6, the stability of the movement of the calibration head 3 can be enhanced, thereby improving the calibration effect on the opening of the copper tube 5.

[0030] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1The calibration mechanism also includes a base 7 and a turntable 8 rotatably mounted on the base 7; the base 1 is mounted on the turntable 8; and several fixing fixtures 4 are mounted on the base 7 and are arranged in a ring around the outer edge of the turntable 8. Furthermore, a rotary drive is provided inside the base 7, and the center of the turntable 8 is connected to the output end of the rotary drive. The rotational mechanism of the rotary drive driving the turntable is known to those skilled in the art and is therefore not shown in the accompanying drawings. After the copper tube 5 is fixed to the fixing fixture 4, the opening of the copper tube 5 is horizontally pointing towards the center of the turntable 8, and the axial direction and movement direction of the calibration head 3 are opposite to the orientation of the opening of the copper tube 5. The rotary drive can be a servo motor or a stepper motor, etc. Thus, the rotation angle of the turntable 8 is precisely controlled by the rotary drive, thereby rotating the calibration head 3 to correspond with the opening of the copper tube 5 on one of the fixing fixtures 4, and then the telescopic drive 2 drives the calibration head 3 to extend into the opening of the copper tube 5 for calibration. Then, the telescopic drive 2 drives the correction head 3 to retract, and the rotation drive drives the turntable 8 to rotate, thereby rotating the correction head 3 to correspond with the opening of the copper tube 5 on the next fixed fixture 4. This process is repeated to achieve continuous and automated correction of the opening of the copper tube 5, which greatly improves the processing efficiency.

[0031] In some embodiments, reference Figure 3 The fixing fixture 4 includes a fixing seat 41 mounted on the base 7. The top of the fixing seat 41 has a recessed groove 42 for engaging the copper tube 5. The fixing seat 41 can be a vertical plate structure or a bent plate structure, etc. In this way, the copper tube 5 can be directly embedded into the groove 42 for positioning, which is simple and convenient to operate.

[0032] Furthermore, the end of the copper tube 5 furthest from the tube opening is provided with a base plate 51 perpendicular to the copper tube 5, and a main tube 52 perpendicular to the copper tube 5 and the base plate 51; the fixing fixture 4 also includes two bent plates 43 disposed on both sides of the top of the fixing base 41, the two bent plates 43 being disposed at intervals relative to each other, forming a cross groove 44 with the slot 42 to engage the base plate 51 and the copper tube 5. Here, the bent plates 43 can be integrally disposed on the fixing base 41, or they can be disposed on the fixing base 41 by bolts or other threaded locking components. The base plate 51 and the main tube 52 are integral additional structures of the copper tube 5, so when positioning the copper tube 5, the overall positioning needs to be considered. Therefore, the cross groove 44 formed by the cooperation of the two bent plates 43 and the slot 42 precisely positions the base plate 51, the copper tube 5, and the main tube 52.

[0033] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model; however, the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and its improved concept, should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
