[0023] Please see Figures 1-5In this embodiment of the present invention, a steel pipe elbow indexing device includes a workbench 1. An mounting groove 2 is provided on the upper surface of the workbench 1. A servo motor 3 is installed inside the mounting groove 2. The output end of the servo motor 3 is connected to a connecting rod 4. A rotating disk 5 is connected to the top of the connecting rod 4. Two positioning posts 6 are connected to the upper surface of the rotating disk 5. An indexing seat 7 is connected to the upper surface of the rotating disk 5. A lower arc-shaped seat 8 is connected to the upper surface of the workbench 1. Two hydraulic telescopic rods 9 are installed on the upper surface of the workbench 1. The output ends of the two hydraulic telescopic rods 9 are connected to a top plate 10. An upper arc-shaped seat 11 is connected to the bottom surface of the top plate 10. The hydraulic telescopic rods 9 can drive the top plate 10 and the upper arc-shaped seat 11 to descend downwards, thus cooperating with the lower arc-shaped seat 8 to securely clamp the steel pipe elbow.

[0024] An annular groove 12 is provided on the upper surface of the worktable 1. An annular plate 13 is slidably connected inside the annular groove 12. The top of the annular plate 13 is connected to the bottom surface of the rotating disk 5. Protective pads 14 are connected to the upper surface of the lower arc-shaped seat 8 and the bottom surface of the upper arc-shaped seat 11. Both protective pads 14 are made of rubber. A control panel 15 and an emergency stop button 16 are installed on the front of the worktable 1. Through the cooperation of the annular plate 13 and the annular groove 12, the rotating disk 5 can be limited, which further improves the stability of the rotating disk 5 during rotation and ensures that the indexing process is smooth and reliable. When clamping steel pipe elbows, the protective pads 14 can increase the friction and improve the clamping firmness, and also prevent the upper arc-shaped seat 11 and the lower arc-shaped seat 8 from directly contacting the steel pipe elbows and causing damage to the workpiece surface. The emergency stop button 16 can quickly stop the operation of the device in case of emergency, ensuring the safety of operation.

[0025] The upper surface of the workbench 1 is equipped with a graduated scale 17, and two running indicator lights 18 are installed on the front of the workbench 1.

The graduated scale 17 installed on the upper surface of the workbench 1 allows the operator to intuitively observe the graduation angle, making the graduation operation more accurate. The support legs 19 and the reinforcing strips 20 connecting the support legs 19 enhance the structural stability of the entire device, enabling it to withstand various forces during the processing and ensuring long-term stable operation of the device. The toolbox 21 facilitates the storage and retrieval of maintenance tools, improving the ease of use of the device.

[0026] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When using this device, firstly, the steel pipe elbow is inserted into the indexing seat 7, and the steel pipe elbow is initially positioned by the positioning column 6 to ensure that it will not shift laterally during processing. Then, the control panel 15 is operated to start the hydraulic telescopic rod 9. The output end of the hydraulic telescopic rod 9 pushes the top plate 10 downward. The top plate 10 drives the upper arc seat 11 to move downward synchronously until the upper arc seat 11 and the lower arc seat 8 cooperate to firmly clamp the steel pipe elbow. When indexing operation is required, the control panel 15 controls the servo motor 3 to start. The output end of the servo motor 3 drives the connecting rod 4 to rotate. The connecting rod 4 then drives the rotating disk 5 to rotate. The indexing seat 7 and the positioning column 6 on the rotating disk 5 rotate accordingly, thereby realizing the indexing adjustment of the steel pipe elbow. The above is the complete operation process of this device.
