Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metal pipe end-closing technology, specifically to a metal pipe end-closing device. Background Technology

[0002] Metal pipe closing machines, such as the Chinese utility model patent with authorization announcement number CN219944376U, are pipe end closing machines that insert one end of the pipe into a conical groove and apply pressure to one end of the pipe through the conical groove, causing the pipe end to be formed and closed according to the shape of the conical groove.

[0003] During the processing of fishing floats, the float seat is generally made of plastic with a through hole for easy insertion of the float tip. A metal tube is installed on the outside of the float seat to improve its overall strength. However, the metal tube is very small, about 2cm in length. When using it, the float seat needs to be manually inserted into the metal tube first, and then placed into a fixing clamp for positioning. Then, the two ends of the metal tube are stamped by the conical stamping grooves of the two stamping cylinders to complete the narrowing of the two ends of the metal tube, so that the float seat is confined inside the metal tube.

[0004] The existing technology requires manually placing the metal tube into the stamping station and limiting its position. Furthermore, when the stamping and shrinking process is completed, the shrunken metal tube also needs to be manually removed from the stamping station. Because the stamping station is designed to be relatively narrow, it is inconvenient to pick up and put down the metal tube at the stamping station, which not only poses a safety hazard but also has low efficiency.

[0005] In view of this, the present invention proposes a metal tube closing device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[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 Figure 1-3 A metal tube closing device includes a base 1, a metal tube limiting seat 2 on the base 1, a metal tube limiting groove 3 on the metal tube limiting seat 2, a closing mechanism on the base 1 for closing both ends of the metal tube, and a clamping mechanism on the base 1 for pressing the metal tube into the metal tube limiting groove 3. In use, the float seat is first placed into the metal tube, then the metal tube is placed in the metal tube limiting groove 3 for limiting, the metal tube is clamped by the clamping mechanism, and then the closing mechanism is used to close the metal tube, which facilitates the limiting of the float seat in the metal tube.

[0024] Furthermore, a slide rail 4 is fixedly provided on the surface of the base 1, and the metal tube limiting seat 2 is slidably connected to the slide rail 4. The slide rail 4 is provided with a drive mechanism 5 for driving the metal tube limiting seat 2 to move. In use, the metal tube to be processed can be placed into the metal tube limiting groove 3, and then the metal tube limiting seat 2 is driven to move by the drive mechanism 5, so that the metal tube moves to the processing station. In addition, after the end is closed, the drive mechanism 5 drives the metal tube limiting seat 2 to move outward and leave the processing station, which solves the problem in the prior art that it is necessary to manually approach the processing station when picking up and putting down the metal tube, and improves safety.

[0025] Furthermore, in order to improve the efficiency of loading and unloading, the surface of the base 1 is provided with a loading and unloading mechanism. The loading and unloading mechanism includes a sloping groove 6 for placing the metal tube to be closed, with openings on both sides of the lower end of the sloping groove 6, and an ejection mechanism provided on one side of the surface of the base 1 for pushing the metal tube in the sloping groove 6 through the opening into the metal tube limiting groove 3.

[0026] The clamping mechanism includes a fixed frame 7 fixed to the base 1. The fixed frame 7 is fixed with a clamping cylinder 8. The lower end of the clamping cylinder 8 is connected to a clamping rod 9. When the metal tube limiting seat 2 is moved to the stamping station, the clamping cylinder 8 extends and drives the clamping rod 9 to move downward to clamp the metal tube, which is convenient for limiting the metal tube.

[0027] The end-reducing mechanism includes a stamping cylinder 10 fixed on both sides of the surface of the base 1. A stamping head 11 is fixed to the telescopic end of the stamping cylinder 10. After the metal tube is limited by the clamping rod 9, the stamping cylinder 10 drives the stamping head 11 to move. The stamping head 11 reduces the ends of the metal tube. The principle can be referred to the Chinese utility model patent CN219944376U, a tube end reducing machine. By inserting one end of the tube into a conical groove, pressure is applied to one end of the tube through the conical groove, so that the tube end is formed and reduced according to the shape of the conical groove. It will not be described in detail here.

[0028] In one embodiment of this application, the ejection mechanism includes a pusher cylinder 12 fixed to one side of the surface of the base 1. The other side of the base 1 is provided with a receiving groove 13 for receiving metal tubes. After the end is closed, the drive mechanism 5 drives the metal tube limiting seat 2 to the position of the pusher cylinder 12. When the pusher cylinder 12 extends, it can push the metal tube in the inclined groove 6 into the metal tube limiting groove 3. When the metal tube in the inclined groove 6 enters the metal tube limiting groove 3, it can push the metal tube that has been closed out of the metal tube limiting groove 3 out of the metal tube limiting groove 3.

[0029] The drive mechanism 5 is a motor lead screw moving mechanism. The motor lead screw moving mechanism is an existing structure. When in use, the motor is powered on to drive the lead screw to rotate. The lead screw is threadedly connected to the metal tube limit seat 2. The rotation of the lead screw can drive the metal tube limit seat 2 to move.

[0030] The inclined groove 6 is detachably connected to the base 1. In one embodiment of this application, the surface of the base 1 is provided with an installation groove 14, and the bottom of the inclined groove 6 is limited in the installation groove 14. In this way, the operator can put multiple metal tubes into the inclined groove 6 at one time. During the process of closing the metal tube, the operator can also prepare another inclined groove 6 with metal tubes to be processed in advance. When the metal tube in one inclined groove 6 is processed, another inclined groove 6 can be replaced. It is not necessary to add metal tubes one by one to the inclined groove 6 next to the machine. It is understood that the inclined groove 6 and the installation groove 14 can also be fixed by bolts or other structures to prevent the inclined groove 6 from moving. This will not be elaborated here.

[0031] In summary, this utility model proposes a metal tube closing device. This device slides the metal tube limiting seat 2 within the slide rail 4 and is driven by the driving mechanism 5 to move it, avoiding manual handling of metal tubes at the processing station and improving safety. At the same time, with the cooperation of the inclined groove 6 and the pusher cylinder 12, multiple metal tubes can be loaded at once. By utilizing the gravity of the metal tubes and the pusher cylinder 12, the closed metal tubes automatically enter the receiving groove 13, and the unclosed metal tubes automatically enter the metal tube limiting groove 3, thus improving production efficiency.

[0032] 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.
