Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a processing equipment, and more particularly to a high-efficiency metal tube processing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Metal tube processing equipment uses metal strips or blanks to produce basic tubes through processes such as forming and welding. However, the practical value of a bare tube is often limited, which necessitates further processing equipment to enhance its functionality. Among these, drilling equipment plays a crucial "finishing" role. As a key link in the production line, it receives the finished tubes from the tube-making equipment and uses high-precision stamping or drilling technology to efficiently and accurately process various holes at designated locations on the tube wall.

[0003] Existing metal tube drilling equipment typically includes a cutting head and a clamp. During processing, the clamp is used to orient and feed the metal material at equal intervals. After moving the metal tube to the designated position, the clamp continues to hold the metal tube. Once the cutting head completes the hole drilling, the clamp returns to its original position and begins the next feeding cycle. Because the clamp is in a waiting state while the cutting head is working on the metal tube, this directly restricts overall production efficiency and causes problems for manufacturers. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a high-efficiency metal tube processing equipment to address the shortcomings of existing technologies.

[0005] A high-efficiency metal tube processing equipment includes a support platform, a first support seat and a second support seat mounted on the support platform, a drilling device mounted on the first support seat and the support platform, a guide device mounted on the first support seat and the second support seat, a first clamp and a second clamp mounted on the guide device, and a driving device that cooperates with the first clamp. The second clamp is located between the first clamp and the first support seat. The driving device drives the first clamp to slide along the guide device. The first clamp includes a slider, a first base mounted on the slider, a limiting seat mounted on the first base, a plurality of balls clamped between the first base and the limiting seat, a first support frame mounted on the limiting seat, a first driving cylinder mounted on the first support frame, a first pressure plate connected to the first driving cylinder, and a first auxiliary pressure block connected to the bottom of the first pressure plate. The first auxiliary pressure block is vertically opposite to the limiting seat, and the balls extend from the upper end face of the limiting seat and are vertically opposite to the first auxiliary pressure block.

[0006] In one embodiment, the first base has a plurality of first movable grooves on its upper surface, the groove surfaces of the first movable grooves being spherical. The limiting seat also has a plurality of second movable grooves, the groove surfaces of the second movable grooves also being spherical. The second movable grooves penetrate the limiting seat. During assembly, the upper surface of the first base is in contact with the bottom surface of the limiting seat. The first movable grooves and the second movable grooves correspond one-to-one, and the corresponding first movable grooves and second movable grooves enclose an active space, in which the ball bearing is engaged.

[0007] In one embodiment, the first support frame is arranged in a U-shape, and the two sides of the first support frame are provided with downwardly extending guide grooves. The two ends of the first pressure plate are inserted into the guide grooves, and the first drive cylinder drives the first pressure plate to adjust its position in the vertical direction along the guide grooves.

[0008] In one embodiment, the first auxiliary pressure block is made of rubber, and the bottom surface of the first auxiliary pressure block is rough.

[0009] In one embodiment, the first base is further provided with a connecting hole, which penetrates the first base along the feeding direction of the metal tube. The connecting hole has an internal thread on its wall. The driving device includes a lead screw and a drive motor that drives the lead screw to rotate.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this high-efficiency metal tube processing equipment are as follows: Based on the drilling device, a first clamp, a second clamp, and a driving device are further added. The first clamp is equipped with a first base, a limiting seat mounted on the first base, and several ball bearings clamped between the first base and the limiting seat. During processing, after the first clamp completes the forward feeding of the metal tube, the second clamp clamps the metal tube and, in conjunction with the drilling device, processes the metal tube. During this period, the driving device drives the first clamp to return to its original position, preparing for the next forward feeding of the metal tube, thereby reducing waiting time and effectively improving processing efficiency.

[0025] Please see Figures 1 to 5 This utility model provides a high-efficiency metal pipe processing equipment for drilling holes in metal pipes 100. The high-efficiency metal pipe processing equipment includes a support platform 10, a first support seat 20 and a second support seat 30 mounted on the support platform 10, a drilling device 40 mounted on the first support seat 20 and the support platform 10, a guide device 50 mounted on the first support seat 20 and the second support seat 30, a first clamp 60 and a second clamp 70 mounted on the guide device 50, and a driving device 80 that cooperates with the first clamp 60. The second clamp 70 is located between the first clamp 60 and the first support seat 20. The driving device 80 drives the first clamp 60 to slide along the guide device 50. The drilling device 40 can extend into the first support seat 20 to drill holes in the metal pipe 100.

[0026] The first support base 20 includes a base body 21 mounted on a support platform 10 and a positioning frame 22 mounted on the base body 21. The positioning frame 22 is provided with a through hole 221. The hole shape of the through hole 221 is consistent with the cross-section of the metal tube 100, and the extension direction of the through hole 221 is consistent with the feeding direction of the metal tube 100.

[0027] The guiding device 50 includes a plurality of guide rails 51. The first clamp 60 includes a slider 61 slidably mounted on the guide rails 51, a first base 62 mounted on the slider 61, a limiting seat 63 mounted on the first base 62, a plurality of balls 68 clamped between the first base 62 and the limiting seat 63, a first support frame 64 mounted on the limiting seat 63, a first drive cylinder 65 mounted on the first support frame 64, a first pressure plate 66 connected to the first drive cylinder 65, and a first auxiliary pressure block 67 connected to the bottom of the first pressure plate 66. The first auxiliary pressure block 67 is vertically opposite to the limiting seat 63, and the balls 68 extend from the upper end face of the limiting seat 63 and are vertically opposite to the first auxiliary pressure block 67. In this embodiment, the first support frame 64 is arranged in a U-shape, and the first support frame 64 has downwardly extending guide grooves 641 on both sides. The first pressure plate 66 is inserted into the guide grooves 641 at both ends. The first driving cylinder 65 drives the first pressure plate 66 to adjust its position in the vertical direction along the guide grooves 641. During the adjustment process, the first pressure plate 66 drives the first auxiliary pressure block 67 to adjust its position synchronously.

[0028] The first base 62 has several first movable grooves 621 on its upper surface. The groove surface of the first movable groove 621 is spherical. The limiting seat 63 also has several second movable grooves 631. The groove surface of the second movable groove 631 is also spherical. The second movable groove 631 passes through the limiting seat 63. During assembly, the upper surface of the first base 62 is in contact with the bottom surface of the limiting seat 63. The first movable grooves 621 and the second movable grooves 631 correspond one-to-one. The corresponding first movable grooves 621 and the second movable grooves 631 enclose an active space. The ball bearing 68 is engaged in the active space.

[0029] In addition, the first auxiliary pressure block 67 is made of rubber, and the bottom surface of the first auxiliary pressure block 67 is rough, thereby increasing the friction between the first auxiliary pressure block 67 and the metal tube 100. The first base 62 is also provided with a connecting hole 622, which penetrates the first base 62 along the feeding direction of the metal tube 100, and the hole wall of the connecting hole 622 is provided with internal threads.

[0030] The structure of the second clamp 70 is similar to that of the first clamp 60. The second clamp 70 includes a fixing block 71 mounted on the guide rail 51, a second base 72 mounted on the fixing block 71, a second support frame 73 mounted on the second base 72, a second drive cylinder 74 mounted on the second support frame 73, a second pressure plate 75 connected to the second drive cylinder 74, and a second auxiliary pressure block 76 connected to the bottom of the second pressure plate 75.

[0031] The driving device 80 includes a lead screw 81 and a drive motor 82 that drives the lead screw 81 to rotate. The two ends of the lead screw 81 are respectively mounted on the first support seat 20 and the second support seat 30 through bearings. The middle part of the lead screw 81 is mounted on the connecting hole 622 of the first base 62. When the drive motor 82 drives the lead screw 81 to rotate, the lead screw 81 drives the first support seat 20 to move synchronously.

[0032] During operation, the second drive cylinder 74 lifts the second auxiliary pressure block 76, and the first drive cylinder 65 lifts the first auxiliary pressure block 67. The metal tube 100 to be drilled then passes through the positioning frame 22 of the first support frame 64, the second support frame 73, and the first support base 20. The bottom surface of the metal tube 100 is in contact with the ball bearing 68, the second base 72, and the through hole 221 of the positioning frame 22. The first drive cylinder 65 presses down the first auxiliary pressure block 67, clamping the metal tube 100 between the ball bearing 68 and the first auxiliary pressure block 67. The first auxiliary pressure block 67 and the metal tube 100 are tightly fitted. The drive motor 82 of the drive device 80 drives the lead screw 81 to rotate. The lead screw 81 is installed through a threaded engagement with the connecting hole 622, moving the first clamp 60 and the metal tube 100 forward. After the first clamp 60 moves to a set distance (the distance can be calculated by a sensor or the lead screw), the second drive cylinder 74 lifts the second auxiliary pressure block 76. 6. Press down to clamp the metal tube 100 between the second base 72 and the second auxiliary pressure block 76. The drilling device 40 extends into the positioning frame 22 of the support base to drill a hole in the metal tube 100. The first drive cylinder 65 drives the first auxiliary pressure block 67 to rise. The drive device 80 drives the first clamp 60 to return to its original position via the lead screw 81. After drilling is completed, the drilling device 40 withdraws from the positioning frame 22. The second drive cylinder 74 drives the second auxiliary pressure block 76 to rise. The first clamp 60, in conjunction with the drive device 80, feeds the metal tube 100 forward for the next time. When the first clamp 60 returns to its original position, the ball bearing 68 contacts the metal tube 100 and rotates and adjusts in the movable space, so that the metal tube 100 clamped by the second clamp 70 does not affect the return of the first clamp 60, and at the same time prevents the first clamp 60 from scratching the surface of the metal tube 100.

[0033] The beneficial effects of this high-efficiency metal tube processing equipment are as follows: Based on the drilling device 40, a first clamp 60, a second clamp 70, and a driving device 80 are further provided. The first clamp 60 is equipped with a first base 62, a limiting seat 63 mounted on the first base 62, and several ball bearings 68 clamped between the first base 62 and the limiting seat 63. During processing, after the first clamp 60 completes the forward feeding of the metal tube 100, the second clamp 70 clamps the metal tube 100 and, in conjunction with the drilling device 40, processes the metal tube 100. During this period, the driving device 80 drives the first clamp 60 to return to its original position, preparing for the next forward feeding of the metal tube 100, thereby reducing waiting time and effectively improving processing efficiency. The ball bearings on the first clamp 60 provide support for the metal tube 100 and prevent interference from the metal tube 100 during its return, making it highly practical.

[0034] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0035] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
