Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steel pipe forming technology, specifically a tooling for prefabricating core tubes for forming petal-shaped steel pipe holes. Background Technology
[0002] Pre-formed core tube tooling is a specialized tool used for forming and processing metal pipes (such as steel pipes). It typically consists of a mandrel (core tube), a mold, a positioning mechanism, etc., and is used to pre-control the shape, size, or hole position of the pipe during the processing to improve forming accuracy and efficiency.
[0003] Existing tooling for prefabricated core tubes used in cable prefabrication has the following shortcomings: local wrinkles and uneven wall thickness are easily generated during through-hole forming, resulting in insufficient smoothness of the inner wall of the tube, which may damage the cable; the traditional step-by-step processing method (forming first and then punching) may cause hole position displacement and tube wall cracking; manual positioning has low efficiency and poor consistency; tooling adaptability is poor; a single mold structure is difficult to adapt to the production of multi-specification tubes; customization costs are high; existing tooling is difficult to achieve one-time forming and stress concentration at the hole edge affects durability; it is difficult to meet people's usage needs and has certain limitations.

[0015] To further explain the technical solution of this utility model, a detailed description is provided below through specific embodiments.
[0016] Please see Figure 1-2 This utility model provides a prefabricated core tube tooling for forming holes in petal-shaped steel pipes, including a central shaft 1. A set of outward expansion mechanisms 2 are connected to the front and rear positions of the outer side of the central shaft 1. Three sets of outer plates 3 are connected to the outer ends of the outward expansion mechanisms 2 at equal intervals. A set of fixing blocks 11 are fixedly connected to the front end of the central shaft 1, which facilitates connection and fixation with external fixing equipment. It can cooperate with external fixing devices to achieve quick centering and locking. A set of rotating parts 12 are sleeved on the outer side of the central shaft 1 near the front end. The outer side of the central shaft 1 is provided with external threads, and the rotating parts 12 are sleeved on the outer side of the central shaft 1. The inner side of the rotating parts 12 is provided with internal threads corresponding to the central shaft 1. A set of force arms is fixedly connected to both the left and right ends of the rotating parts 12. By applying force to the force arms, the rotating parts 12 can be rotated and moved along the central shaft 1.
[0017] Please see Figure 2 This utility model provides a tooling for prefabricated core tubes with petal-shaped steel pipe forming holes. The outer expansion mechanism 2 includes a connecting inner plate 21, a moving groove 22, a moving bolt 23, a connecting block 1 24, a moving sleeve 25, an outer expansion arm 26, and a connecting block 27. A set of connecting inner plates 21 are fixedly connected to the outer side of the central shaft 1 near the middle. The fixing block 11 is triangular in shape with arc-shaped ends, facing the outer plate 3. A set of moving grooves 22 are opened on the surface of the inner plate 21 corresponding to the position of the outer plate 3. A set of moving bolts 23 are slidably connected in the moving grooves 22. One end of the moving bolt 23 is fixedly connected to the connecting block 24. The end of the connecting block 24 near the outer plate 3 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the outer plate 3. When the outer plate 3 expands outward, the moving bolts 23 can be moved along the moving grooves 22 by the connecting block 24 to ensure stability during movement. A set of movable sleeves 25 is fitted on the outer side of the central shaft 1 near the rotating component 12. Three sets of outward expanding arms 26 are hinged to the outer side of the movable sleeves 25. A set of connecting blocks 27 is hinged to the other end of each outward expanding arm 26. The other end of the connecting blocks 27 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the outer plate 3. When the movable sleeves 25 are pressed inward by the rotating component 12, they can press the rotating outward expanding arms 26 and expand the three sets of outer plates 3 outward through the connecting blocks 27.
[0018] The working principle is as follows: In use, by rotating the rotating component 12, the rotating component 12 moves along the central axis 1 towards the moving sleeve 25 and squeezes the moving sleeve 25, causing it to rotate outward and expand the outer arm 26. Through the connecting block 27, the three sets of outer plates 3 expand outward. When the outer plates 3 expand outward, the connecting block 1 24 can drive the moving bolt 23 to move along the moving groove 22, ensuring the stability during movement, realizing equidistant radial expansion, ensuring the roundness of the hole, avoiding the deviation of traditional manual adjustment, realizing high-precision controllable expansion, and adapting to complex hole diameter requirements.
