Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipe processing technology, specifically a PVC pipe bending forming mold. Background Technology
[0002] Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) bends are widely used in building drainage, electrical wiring, and other fields. Their production process typically involves placing a heated and softened PVC pipe blank into a forming mold, and then cooling and shaping it to obtain the desired bend. However, existing bend forming technologies, especially when producing multiple parallel bends, often face the following technical challenges: First, during the process of placing the pipe blank into the mold and removing the finished product, it is highly susceptible to deformation and scratches due to external forces or its own weight, affecting the product's appearance quality and dimensional accuracy. Second, for bends requiring flaring (such as socket elbows for drainage), traditional production methods often require transferring the pipe to specialized flaring equipment for secondary processing after the pipe has been shaped. This secondary processing not only increases production steps and equipment costs and reduces production efficiency, but also easily damages the already formed bend during transfer and secondary clamping, resulting in a low yield. Furthermore, traditional molds have limited functionality, low automation, and heavy reliance on manual operation, making it difficult to meet the requirements of modern production for high efficiency, high quality, and consistency.
[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a PVC pipe bending mold that integrates pipe bending, straightening and flaring functions, has a high degree of automation, and can significantly improve production efficiency and product quality. Utility Model Content

[0021] The specific technical solutions of this utility model are further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, so as to enable those skilled in the art to further understand this utility model, without constituting a limitation on its rights.
[0022] Example 1, referring to Figure 1-2 A PVC pipe bending forming mold includes a base 1, which is formed into a generally square base 1, with its bottom surface in contact with the ground. The base 1 is provided with: The mold assembly includes a lower mold base 2 mounted on a base 1, an upper mold base 3 mounted on top of the lower mold base 2, and several sets of bent tube forming channels 4 opened between the lower mold base 2 and the upper mold base 3. The multiple sets of bent tube forming channels 4 are horizontally arranged between the upper mold base 3 and the lower mold base 2, and their number can be selected according to the usage requirements. The adjustment assemblies located on both sides of the mold assembly each include a support plate 5, a pre-flaring correction telescopic power mechanism 6, a pre-flaring correction component, a post-flaring correction telescopic power mechanism 7, and a post-flaring correction component. The support plate 5 is slidably mounted on the base 1, specifically through a linear guide rail as used in the prior art. The support plate 5 is formed into a roughly square plate structure and is vertically arranged. The pre-flaring correction telescopic power mechanism 6 is horizontally mounted on the support plate 5. The pre-flaring correction telescopic power mechanism 6 can be a cylinder. One end of the pre-flaring correction component is fixed to the telescopic end of the pre-flaring correction telescopic power mechanism 6, and the other end faces one side of the bending tube forming channel 4. The post-flaring correction telescopic power mechanism 7 is fixed on the top surface of the support plate 5. The post-flaring correction telescopic power mechanism 7 can be a hydraulic cylinder. One end of the post-flaring correction component is fixed to the telescopic end of the post-flaring correction telescopic power mechanism 7, and the other end faces one side of the bending tube forming channel 4.
[0023] In Example 1, the pre-flaring correction telescopic power mechanism 6 can be linked with the pre-flaring correction component to squeeze and correct the end of the bent tube in the bending tube forming channel 4. This correction is a fine adjustment of the angle of the bent tube end. The post-flaring correction telescopic power mechanism 7 can extend the post-flaring correction component into the bending tube forming channel 4 to perform a certain degree of flaring correction on the inner circumferential surface of the bent tube opening, so that the inner circumferential surface of the flared opening remains as unchanged as possible.
[0024] Example 2, a PVC pipe bending forming mold as described in Example 1, wherein the bottom surface of the lower mold base 2 is vertically fixed on the top surface of the middle part of the base 1, and bolt holes 8 for mutual fixing are provided between the upper mold base 3 and the lower mold base 2.
[0025] In Example 2, the upper mold base 3 and the lower mold base 2 can be detachably installed as one unit using bolt fasteners, making installation and disassembly convenient.

[0027] Example 4, a PVC pipe bending forming mold as described in Example 1, wherein the upper mold base 3 and the lower mold base 2 are each provided with a plurality of water-cooling channels 9, the shape and size of which can be selected according to the usage requirements.
[0028] In Example 4, the water-cooled flow channel 9 can be arranged in an arc shape. Specifically, it can be set according to the arc interval of the bending tube forming flow channel 4. The cold fluid flowing into the water-cooled flow channel 9 can cool the upper mold base 3 and the lower mold base 2, thereby achieving the cooling effect.
[0029] Example 5, a PVC pipe bending forming mold as described in Example 1, wherein the pre-flaring straightening component includes a connecting rod 10 and several straightening plates 11. The connecting rod 10 is formed as a horizontally arranged rod structure, and the straightening plates 11 are formed as horizontally arranged square plate structures. One end of the connecting rod 10 is coaxially fixed to the telescopic end of the pre-flaring straightening telescopic power mechanism 6, and the other end is vertically fixed to the straightening plate 11. The side of the straightening plate 11 facing the pipe bending forming channel 4 is the straightening face 12, and the straightening face 12 is directly opposite the port of the pipe bending forming channel 4 and is flush with the port.
[0030] In Example 5, the straightening plate 11 can be pushed by the telescopic end of the pre-flaring straightening telescopic power mechanism 6 and the connecting rod 10, thereby selectively abutting the end of the bending tube forming channel 4, thereby finely adjusting the port angle of the bending tube in the bending tube forming channel 4.
[0031] Example 6, a PVC pipe bending forming mold as described in Example 5, wherein the number of straightening plates 11 corresponds one-to-one with the number of pipe bending forming channels 4.
[0032] Example 7, a PVC pipe bending forming mold as described in Example 1, wherein the flaring and straightening component includes a connecting frame 13 and several flaring devices 14. The connecting frame 13 is formed into a roughly square frame structure, and the flaring devices 14 are formed into a roughly cylindrical structure. One end of the connecting frame 13 is fixed to the telescopic end of the flaring and straightening telescopic power mechanism 7, and the other end is fixedly connected to the end of the flaring device 14. The other end of the flaring device 14 faces the pipe bending forming flow channel 4 and is provided with a conical surface for flaring and straightening. The taper value of the conical surface can be customized according to the usage requirements.
[0033] In embodiment 7, a slide rail can be fixedly installed on the top of the support plate 5, and the flared and corrective telescopic power mechanism 7 can be fixed on the slide rail. A slider is then installed on the slide rail, and the bottom surface of the connecting frame 13 is fixed on the slider, thereby guiding the movement of the connecting frame 13.
[0034] Example 8, a PVC pipe bending forming mold as described in Example 7, wherein the axis of the flaring device 14 is parallel to the axis of the port of the pipe bending forming channel 4.
[0035] Example 9, a PVC pipe bending forming mold as described in Example 7, wherein the flaring correction telescopic power mechanism 7 and the flaring device 14 are inclined, and the inclination angle can be selected according to the usage requirements.
[0036] Example 10, a PVC pipe bending forming mold as described in Example 7, wherein the number of flaring devices 14 corresponds one-to-one with the number of pipe bending forming channels 4.
[0037] The process of using this PVC pipe bending mold is as follows: First, the heated and softened PVC pipe blank is placed into the bending forming channel 4 of the lower mold base 2 in the open state. Then, the upper mold base 3 and the lower mold base 2 are fastened together with bolts to close the mold, so that the pipe blank is wrapped in the closed forming channel. After the mold is closed, external cooling water can flow into the water cooling channel 9 inside the upper mold base 3 and the lower mold base 2 to uniformly cool the mold and make the pipe blank cool and solidify quickly in the forming channel.
[0038] During or after cooling, port straightening can be performed. The linear guide can adjust the position of the entire adjustment assembly so that the pre-flaring straightening component and the post-flaring straightening component are aligned with the port of the target bend. The pre-flaring straightening telescopic power mechanism 6 is activated, and its telescopic end pushes the straightening plate 11 forward horizontally through the connecting rod 10, so that the straightening surface 12 of the straightening plate 11 smoothly abuts against the end face of the bend, and the angle of the port that may be slightly deformed due to cooling contraction is corrected.
[0039] After the initial correction of the port, the expansion and correction telescopic power mechanism 7 is activated. Its telescopic end pushes the connecting frame 13 and the flaring device 14 installed on it to move forward along the inclined guide rail. The conical surface at the front end of the flaring device 14 is inserted into the inside of the pipe, and continues to move forward and squeeze the inner wall of the pipe, thereby completing the expansion correction and shaping operation.
[0040] The entire process is fully automated, which significantly improves production efficiency and product consistency.
