Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of metallurgical equipment technology, specifically relating to a metal pipe sizing device. Background Technology
[0002] The sizing process for steel pipes is one of the crucial steps in a steel pipe production line, directly determining the roundness, surface roughness, and circumferential residual stress distribution of the pipe. Currently, the commonly used sizing process employs two-roll, three-roll, or four-roll extrusion sizing devices. A sizing machine is a machine used for shaping and sizing steel pipes. It generally consists of a main body and sizing roller dies arranged in top, bottom, left, and right positions within each main body. In actual use, multiple sizing machines need to be arranged sequentially along the direction of the steel pipe's sizing movement. Therefore, mounting bases must be provided to ensure that each main body of the sizing machine can be fixed in place. The higher the precision of the steel pipe, the more sizing machines are arranged sequentially, and thus, the more mounting bases are needed to match and install each main body.
[0003] Chinese patent CN112605151B discloses a metal pipe sizing device. This device has an integral frame structure, with each roller assembly installed inside. When disassembling and maintaining each roller assembly, the components can be removed from one side of the frame for repair or replacement. However, because multiple sets of metal pipe sizing devices are arranged sequentially on the production line, and the spacing between adjacent sets is small, this support structure presents significant difficulties for repairing and replacing the internal components. In practice, the components cannot be removed from the side of the frame; instead, the entire metal pipe sizing device must be disassembled from the production line, hoisted to an open area, laid flat, and then disassembled. This results in long maintenance times and reduced production efficiency. Utility Model Content
