Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of flexible pipe stretching technology, specifically an automatic stretching and forming flexible pipe processing device. Background Technology
[0002] Flexible pipe fitting stretching refers to the process of applying axial tension to a pipe fitting with bendable and deformable characteristics, causing it to elongate and deform along its length. This operation is often used to test the tensile properties of pipe fittings, or to adjust the length of pipe fittings according to requirements during actual installation and use to adapt to different connection scenarios. During the stretching process, the flexible pipe fitting will deform due to its own elastic or plastic properties, but its flexible structure can reduce rigid damage caused by stretching, making it suitable for piping systems that require a certain degree of flexibility and adaptability.
[0003] The existing Chinese patent announcement number CN206415427U, entitled "Automatic Stretching and Forming Flexible Processing Device for Pipe Fittings," explicitly states in its abstract that "This utility model discloses an automatic stretching and forming flexible processing device for pipe fittings, including a base and a support. A positioning base is provided on the top of the base, a hydraulic cylinder is provided on the support, and a reference top column is provided at the output end of the hydraulic cylinder. A reference hole is provided on the positioning base; a first column is provided on the top of the base, and a first platform is provided on the first column. A boss is provided at the output of the hydraulic cylinder; the positioning base includes a fixed end and a reference end, and a pressure block is provided on the base; a first threaded hole is provided at the bottom of the boss, and an external thread is provided at the top of the reference top column; an external thread is provided on the outer wall of the reference end, and a second threaded hole is provided at the top of the fixed end. By setting the fixed end and the reference end of the positioning base and the separable setting of the reference top column relative to the boss, the processing flexibility of the equipment is improved, enabling the equipment to meet the processing needs of pipe fittings of different sizes as much as possible, saving the cost of equipment development, and improving product response speed and processing speed."
[0004] However, in this technology, after the flexible tube is stretched, the staff needs to remove the flexible tube and then put on a new flexible tube before the subsequent stretching of the flexible tube can be carried out. This results in a certain amount of time being wasted during the process of removing and placing the flexible tube, which in turn affects the overall stretching efficiency of the flexible tube. Utility Model Content

[0025] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.
[0026] Please refer to Figures 1-4 This utility model discloses an automatic stretching and forming flexible pipe fitting processing device, including a mounting base 1 and a mounting assembly. The mounting base 1 is a mounting structure used to install the overall structure. The mounting assembly includes a rotating ring 11 and two mounting tubes 2. The rotating ring 11 is rotatably mounted above the mounting base 1. The two mounting tubes 2 are mounting structures, and the flexible pipe fitting is sleeved on the outside of the mounting tube 2. A mounting rod 21 is slidably arranged inside the mounting tube 2. The diameter of the top of the mounting rod 21 is the same as the diameter of the mounting tube 2. An elastic rubber ring 22 is provided at the top of the mounting rod 21. The elastic rubber ring 22 is outwardly extended. The bottom of the flexible pipe fitting is located at the bottom of the outside of the mounting tube 2, and the top of the flexible pipe fitting is located at the top of the mounting rod 21. The elastic rubber ring 22 extends the flexible pipe fitting, thereby limiting its position.
[0027] The top of the mounting tube 2 is provided with a threaded groove 23, and threaded posts 24 are provided on both sides above the rotating ring 11. The threaded groove 23 and the threaded posts 24 are threadedly connected, that is, the threaded groove 23 connects to the threaded posts 24, so that the mounting tube 2 is installed on both sides above the rotating ring 11. The mounting tube 2 and the mounting rod 21 are provided with multiple models, that is, different diameters and lengths, so as to facilitate the stretching of flexible tubes of different diameters and lengths. A motor 13 is provided in front of the mounting base 1. The motor 13 is a servo motor. A drive gear 14 is provided on the top output end of the motor 13. An internal gear 12 is provided on the inner side of the rotating ring 11. The drive gear 14 meshes with the internal gear 12. Each time the drive gear 14 rotates a specific number of times, the inner gear 12 and the rotating ring 11 rotate 180°. After the flexible tube is installed on the mounting tube 2, the drive gear 14 is rotated by the motor 13, causing the flexible tube to rotate to the rear, allowing for stretching. At this time, another mounting tube 2 is in front. The operator places the new flexible tube on the front mounting tube 2. After the rear flexible tube is stretched, the rotating ring 11 is rotated 180°, allowing for rapid stretching of subsequent flexible tubes. This reduces the time spent on picking up and putting down flexible tubes and increases the processing efficiency of flexible tubes.
[0028] Two mounting plates 31 are provided at the rear of the mounting base 1. The mounting plates 31 are mounting structures. A first clamping member 33 is slidably provided on the inner side of the mounting plate 31, and a first electric push rod 32 is provided on the outer side of the mounting plate 31. The telescopic end of the first electric push rod 32 is connected to the first clamping member 33. A mounting frame 3 is provided on the upper rear side of the mounting base 1. A mounting frame 4 is provided at the bottom of the mounting frame 3. A hydraulic cylinder 34 is provided on the inner side of the mounting frame 3. The telescopic end of the hydraulic cylinder 34 is connected to the mounting frame 4. A second clamping member 42 is slidably provided on both sides inside the mounting frame 4. A second electric push rod 41 is provided on both sides outside the clamping member. The telescopic end of the second electric push rod 41 is connected to the second clamping member 42. The mounting frame 4 is extended and retracted by the hydraulic cylinder 34 so that the second clamping member 42 is at the same height as the top of the mounting rod 21. This is achieved through pre-adjustment.
[0029] When the flexible tube is rotated to the rear, the clamping parts are pushed by the electric push rods on both the upper and lower sides, so that the upper and lower sides of the flexible tube are fixed. The mounting frame 4 and the second clamping part 42 are pulled upward by the hydraulic cylinder 34, thereby stretching the flexible tube. All electrical equipment in the device is controlled by the same external computer PLC intelligent controller. Equipment that needs to be debugged in advance is debugged in advance, and equipment that needs an external power supply is powered by an external power supply. This is a conventional technical method for those skilled in the art.
[0030] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: A flexible tube is fitted onto the outside of the mounting tube 2, with the bottom of the flexible tube at the very bottom of the outside of the mounting tube 2 and the top of the flexible tube at the top of the mounting rod 21. It is spread open by the elastic rubber ring 22, which serves to limit the flexible tube. After the flexible tube is installed on the mounting tube 2, the motor 13 drives the drive gear 14 to rotate, thereby rotating the flexible tube to the rear, which can then be stretched. At this time, another mounting tube 2 is in front. The operator fits a new flexible tube onto the front mounting tube 2. After the rear flexible tube is stretched, the rotating ring 11 is rotated 180°, which allows for rapid stretching of subsequent flexible tubes, reducing the time for picking up and putting down the flexible tubes and increasing the processing efficiency of the flexible tubes. When the flexible tube is rotated to the rear, the clamping parts are pushed by the electric push rods on the upper and lower sides, so that the upper and lower sides of the flexible tube are fixed. The mounting frame 4 and the second clamping part 42 are pulled upward by the hydraulic cylinder 34, thereby stretching the flexible tube.
[0031] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will understand 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 claims and their equivalents.
