[0019] This utility model provides a processing device for bending pipes with small bending radius, the structure of which is as follows: Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the device includes a workbench 1 and a pipe fitting 2. A side plate 3 is fixed to the top surface of the workbench 1. A through hole 4 is opened on one side of the side plate 3 and a support plate 5 is fixed thereon. One end of the pipe fitting 2 passes through the through hole 4. A top plate 7 is fixed to the top surface of the support plate 5 by two sliding rods 6 and a clamping plate 8 is provided. Two first connecting blocks 9 are fixed to the inner side of the top plate 7 and the clamping plate 8, and both ends of the clamping plate 8 are slidably connected to the sliding rods 6. Two driven blocks 12 are provided above it. Several first connecting blocks 9 are movably connected to driven rods 11 by first rotating shafts 10. Second connecting blocks 14 are fixed to the top and bottom surfaces of the two driven blocks 12. The other end of the driven rods 11 is movably connected to the second connecting blocks 14 by second rotating shafts 16. Clamping blocks 22 are fixed to the inner side of the support plate 5 and the clamping plate 8. A driving assembly for driving the two driven blocks 12 to move outward or inward simultaneously is provided on one side of the side plate 3, and a bending assembly is fixed on the other side. The use of a small bending radius pipe bending device provides better clamping and fixing of the pipe fittings, preventing them from shifting during processing and ensuring the bending effect.
[0020] Specifically, the drive assembly includes a drive block 13, two third connecting blocks 15, and a bolt 18. The two third connecting blocks 15 are movably connected to the drive rods 29 via the third rotating shaft 17 and are respectively fixed to the inner side of the two driven blocks 12. The drive block 13 is located below the top plate 7, and four connecting blocks 20 are fixed on both sides of it. A bearing 19 is fixed on its top surface. The two fourth connecting blocks 20 are movably connected to the other end of the two drive rods 29 via the fourth rotating shaft 21. The bolt 18 is threadedly connected to the top plate 7, and its bottom end is connected to the bearing 19.
[0021] Specifically, the bending assembly includes a cylinder 27 and a bending plate 28. The cylinder 27 is horizontally arranged and fixedly connected to the side plate 3 via a connecting seat 26. The bending plate 28 is located on one side of the pipe fitting 2 and is connected to the piston rod of the cylinder 27.
[0022] Furthermore, both clamping blocks 22 have arc-shaped grooves 24 on their inner sides.
[0023] Furthermore, the arc-shaped groove 24 is coated with an anti-slip coating.
[0024] Furthermore, each of the four corners of the bottom surface of the workbench 1 is fixed with a column 25.
[0025] Operating procedures
[0026] 1. Clamping the pipe fitting: Pass one end of the pipe fitting 2 through the through hole 4 of the side plate 3, so that it is located between the support plate 5 and the clamping plate 8. Rotate the bolt 18 to drive the drive block 13 to move down, and push the two driven blocks 12 to move outward through the drive rod 29. The driven rod 11 moves accordingly and pulls the clamping plate 8 along the slide rod 6 to move closer to the support plate 5, so that the arc groove 24 of the clamping block 22 tightly clamps the pipe fitting 2.
[0027] 2. Bending process: Start cylinder 27 to push bending plate 28 to move horizontally, apply lateral force to the protruding end of pipe 2, and bend it around the clamping part to form a small bending radius bend.
[0028] 3. Reset and remove parts: After bending is completed, the piston rod of cylinder 27 retracts, and the bolt 18 is rotated in the opposite direction to loosen the clamping plate 8 and remove the processed bent pipe.
[0029] Beneficial effects
[0030] The small bending radius pipe bending processing device provided by this technical solution significantly improves the accuracy, stability and efficiency of pipe bending processing by optimizing the design of the clamping mechanism (support plate 5, clamping plate 8, slide rod 6, clamping block 22), drive assembly (drive block 13, third connecting block 15, bolt 18, drive rod 29) and bending assembly (cylinder 27, bending plate 28).
[0031] 1. Improved clamping stability: The sliding connection structure between the slide rod 6 and the clamping plate 8 ensures the linearity and stability of the clamping movement, avoiding the offset problem caused by mechanical backlash in traditional clamping methods; the driven rod 11 and the drive assembly (first connecting block 9, second connecting block 14, first rotating shaft 10, second rotating shaft 16) work together to distribute the clamping force evenly, preventing the pipe 2 from deforming or being damaged on the surface due to uneven force during bending; the arc groove 24 of the clamping block 22, combined with the anti-slip coating, greatly enhances the clamping friction, effectively preventing the pipe 2 from slipping or rotating during processing, and ensuring precise control of the bending radius.
[0032] 2. Precise and efficient drive adjustment: Bolt 18 drives drive block 13 through bearing 19, which drives drive rod 29 (third rotating shaft 17, fourth rotating shaft 21) to push driven block 12 to move synchronously, realizing precise opening and closing of clamping plate 8. This mechanical transmission method has a simple and reliable structure and is easy to operate.
[0033] 3. Stable and controllable bending process: The horizontally set cylinder 27 drives the bending plate 28 to apply a uniform lateral force to the pipe 2, avoiding local stress concentration and reducing the risk of uneven pipe wall thickness or cracking.
[0034] In summary, this device solves problems such as unstable clamping, low forming accuracy, and insufficient efficiency in small-radius pipe bending by optimizing the clamping mechanism, precisely adjusting the drive components, and ensuring stable force application by the bending components. Its simple structure, convenient operation, and strong adaptability give it significant advantages in high-precision pipe bending fields such as automotive exhaust pipes and hydraulic lines, greatly reducing scrap rates and improving production efficiency.
[0035] The above description is only a description of the preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model in any way. Any changes or modifications made by those skilled in the art based on the above disclosure shall fall within the protection scope of the claims.
