Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical processing technology, specifically to an ultrasonic high-frequency micro-vibration type pipe bend. Background Technology

[0002] Existing conventional pipe bending mechanisms involve placing the pipe into a bending mold, fixing the pipe with a clamping device to ensure that the pipe does not move or shake during the bending process, and then rotating the bending head to achieve bending of pipes of different angles and diameters.

[0003] Existing pipe bending mechanisms clamp specific pipes onto a bending die using a clamping device, and rotate the bending head at different angles to bend the pipe. During the bending process, the pipe is subjected to high tensile force. For pipes with small diameters (<6mm), due to the pipe's inherent low strength, uneven deformation can occur at the bend under such strong tensile force. This can even lead to tearing, excessive stress, and reduced strength at the bend when the bending angle exceeds 90 degrees. Therefore, when bending small pipes, lower tensile force and higher bending speeds are often used, reducing production efficiency, increasing defect rates, and causing stress concentration at the bend. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an ultrasonic high-frequency micro-vibration type pipe bending head, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an ultrasonic high-frequency micro-vibration type pipe bending head, including a driving component and a pipe bending mold, wherein the driving component includes at least a PZT component and an amplitude transformer, one end of the amplitude transformer is connected to the PZT component, and the other end of the amplitude transformer is connected to the pipe bending mold.

[0006] Preferably, it also includes a base and a rear cover plate. The base is provided with a receiving groove, wherein the rear cover plate and the PZT part are placed in the receiving groove in sequence from bottom to top, and the rear cover plate, the PZT part and the amplitude rod are connected by a fixing screw.

[0007] Preferably, both the rear cover plate and the PZT component are provided with through holes through which the threaded end of the fixing screw can pass, and the bottom of the amplitude rod is provided with a threaded hole. The threaded end of the fixing screw passes through the through holes of the rear cover plate and the PZT component in sequence and is then threadedly connected to the threaded hole.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] This invention utilizes a PZT component, an amplitude transformer, and a bending die. The PZT component generates high-frequency vibration, which is transmitted to the bending die via the amplitude transformer. During bending, this high-frequency micro-vibration is driven into the pipe, causing it to stretch while vibrating, making the pipe easier to form. Simultaneously, with continuous high-frequency micro-vibration, the stress generated during the pipe stretching process is better released, resulting in better structural characteristics of the formed pipe and higher bending efficiency.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Please see Figures 1 to 3 The present invention provides an embodiment of an ultrasonic high-frequency micro-vibration type pipe bending head, comprising a base 1, a rear cover plate 2, a PZT component 3, an amplitude transformer 4, and a pipe bending mold 5. The base 1 is provided with a receiving groove 6, and the rear cover plate 2 and the PZT component 3 are placed in the receiving groove 6 from bottom to top. The rear cover plate 2, the PZT component 3, and the amplitude transformer 4 are assembled and fixed by fixing screw 7. The PZT component 3 is located between the rear cover plate 2 and the amplitude transformer 4, and the pipe bending mold 5 is assembled and fixed to the amplitude transformer 4 by fixing screw 8.

[0022] Among them, PZT component 3 is a piezoelectric ceramic. When a positive voltage is applied to PZT component 3, the tube will stretch, and when a negative voltage is applied, the tube will contract. Utilizing this principle, we integrate a sinusoidal alternating high-frequency voltage into PZT component 3 to generate specific high-frequency micro-stretching vibrations. Then, the amplitude of this vibration is amplified by the amplitude transformer 4 and transmitted to the bending die 5. The tube 15 is clamped by the clamping fixture, and the bending die 5 contacts the tube 15. The high-frequency micro-vibration on the bending die 5 is transmitted to the tube 15, and the tube 15 will also generate high-frequency micro-vibration. When we bend the tube 15 with high-frequency micro-vibration, we can achieve a better bending effect, effectively remove bending stress concentration, and improve bending efficiency.

[0023] In this embodiment, two PZT parts 3 are provided. The two PZT parts are stacked between the rear cover plate 2 and the amplitude rod 4 and are assembled and fixed by fixing screw 7.

[0024] Both the rear cover plate 2 and the PZT part 3 are provided with through holes through which the threaded end of the fixing screw 7 can pass.

[0026] The bending die 5 is provided with a through hole through which the threaded end of the fixing screw 8 can pass. The top of the amplitude rod 4 is provided with a threaded hole 12 that matches the fixing screw 8. The threaded end of the fixing screw 8 passes through the through hole of the bending die 5 and is threadedly connected to the threaded hole 12.

[0027] In this embodiment, threaded hole 11 is connected to threaded hole 12.

[0028] The base 1 has a threaded through hole 13 on its side, and the threaded through hole 13 corresponds to the position of the rear cover plate 2.

[0029] The top of the amplitude rod 4 is provided with an installation groove 10 that is compatible with the structure of the bending die 5. The bending die 5 is embedded in the installation groove 10 and locked in place by the fixing screw 8. The installation groove 10 can limit the bending die 5 to prevent it from rotating and shifting during high-frequency vibration, thereby improving the bending effect.

[0030] The base 1 is in the shape of a disc base, and the base 1 is provided with several evenly arranged mounting through holes 14. The mounting screws can pass through the mounting through holes 14 and be screwed to the transmission module.
