The buffer layer can be a polyurethane elastomer with a Shore hardness of 80A-90A known in the art, and its thickness can be 1mm. It can be embedded in the first bend groove 10 and the second bend groove 13 by a known adhesive material, without any particular limitation.
[0043] In this embodiment, by setting a buffer layer, it is possible to avoid pressure and scratches on the outer surface of the thin-walled pipe during the bending process, thereby eliminating the need for subsequent grinding of the outer surface of the thin-walled pipe and improving production efficiency.
[0044] In this embodiment, by setting the anti-slip groove, the thin-walled tube can avoid slippage and friction with the clamping mold 9 and the wheel mold 12 during the bending process, thereby avoiding mechanical damage to the outer surface of the thin-walled tube other than pressure marks and scratches, and improving production quality.
[0045] According to one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the first transmission mechanism includes at least a first transmission motor, a first lead screw 11, and a first slider 5, wherein: The first drive motor is mounted on the clamping arm 2.

The first transmission motor can be mounted in the first transmission mechanism groove using bolt mounting methods known in the art. Figure 1On the right side wall of the first slider 5. The first lead screw 11 can be driven and engaged with the output shaft of the first drive motor (i.e., the output end of the first drive motor) via a coupling (not shown in the figure) known in the art. The bottom end of the first slider 5 can be mutually limited and slidably engaged with the bottom end of the groove of the first transmission mechanism (i.e., the top outer wall of the clamping arm 2). The first lead screw 11 can pass through the first slider 5 as a whole and be threaded into the first slider 5. The clamping mold 9 is detachably mounted on the top of the first slider 5.

The outer ring of the bearing can be fixedly connected to the clamping arm 2, and the inner ring of the bearing can be coaxially arranged with the first lead screw 11 and fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first lead screw 11.
[0050] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, there can be two first slide rails 4, which are symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the groove of the first transmission mechanism. Since there are two first slide rails 4, and the first slide rails 4 are correspondingly arranged with the first slide grooves, there are also two first slide grooves. The two first slide grooves are respectively arranged with the two first slide rails 4 and are respectively limited and slidably engaged on the two first slide rails 4, which further improves the stability of the first slider 5 during sliding.

That is, the clamping mold 9 can be detachably connected to the first slider 5 through the first connecting block 8, the first mounting hole 7 and the first mounting block 6.
[0052] In this embodiment, the first mounting block 6 can be mounted on the top of the first slider 5 by a welding connection method known in the art, without any particular limitation.
[0053] According to one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 4 As shown, the second transmission mechanism includes at least a second transmission motor, a second lead screw 21, and a second slider 15, wherein: The second drive motor is mounted on the main arm 1, and the second lead screw 21 is driven by the output shaft of the second drive motor.

The guide mold 19 is detachably mounted on the second slider 15.
[0054] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, at the top of main arm 1 (i.e. Figure 1 A groove (referred to as the second transmission mechanism groove for ease of description) is provided at the top of the main boom 1. The second transmission motor can be mounted in the second transmission mechanism groove using bolt mounting methods known in the art. Figure 6 On the right side wall of the first transmission mechanism. The second lead screw 21 can be driven and engaged with the output shaft of the second transmission motor (i.e., the output end of the second transmission motor) via a coupling (not shown in the figure) known in the art. The bottom end of the second slider 15 can be mutually limited and slidably engaged with the bottom end of the groove of the second transmission mechanism (i.e., the top outer wall of the main arm 1).

The height of the groove of the second transmission mechanism can be the same as the height of the groove of the first transmission mechanism.
[0055] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, both the first transmission mechanism groove and the second transmission mechanism groove can be cuboid structures, and no special limitation is made here.
[0056] Furthermore, in order to better achieve the limiting sliding fit between the second slider 15 and the outer wall of the main arm 1 (i.e., the bottom end of the groove of the second transmission mechanism), such as Figure 4As shown, a second slide rail 14 is installed on the outer wall of the top end of the main arm 1, and the second slide rail 14 is arranged parallel to the second lead screw 21. The second slide rail 14 and the second slider 15 are in a limiting sliding engagement, that is, the second slider 15 is configured to be able to slide and engage with the outer wall of the main arm 1 through the second slide rail 14.
[0057] In this embodiment, the bottom end of the second slider 15 (i.e., located at...) Figure 4 The bottom end of the slide rail 14 is provided with a second slide groove that is corresponding to and adapted to the second slide rail 14. The second slide groove and the second slide rail 14 are in a limited sliding fit, thereby realizing the limited sliding fit between the second slide rail 14 and the second slider 15.
[0058] Furthermore, to improve the stability of the second lead screw 21 during rotation, the groove of the second transmission mechanism is located in... Figure 6 The left end can also be fitted with a bearing known in the art (not shown in the figure), wherein the outer ring of the bearing can be fixedly connected to the main arm 1, and the inner ring of the bearing can be coaxially arranged with the second lead screw 21 and fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first lead screw 11.
[0059] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, there can be two second slide rails 14, which are symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the groove of the second transmission mechanism. Since there are two second slide rails 14, and the second slide rails 14 are correspondingly arranged with the second slide grooves, there are also two second slide grooves. The two second slide grooves are respectively arranged with the two second slide rails 14 and are respectively limited and slidably engaged on the two second slide rails 14, which further improves the stability of the second slider 15 during sliding.
[0060] Furthermore, in order to better achieve a detachable connection between the guide mold 19 and the second slider 15, such as Figure 4 As shown, a second mounting block 16 is mounted on the second slider 15, and a second mounting hole 17 is provided on the second mounting block 16. The second mounting hole 17 is configured to allow contact with the outside of the second mounting block 16 (i.e., Figure 4 The second mounting block 16 is connected to the left outer side. For example, Figure 4 and Figure 10 As shown, on guide mold 19 (i.e. Figure 10 The right end of the guide mold 19 is equipped with a second connecting block 18. The second connecting block 18 is configured to be compatible with the second mounting hole 17 and to be detachably installed in the second mounting hole 17. That is, the guide mold 19 can be detachably connected to the second slider 15 through the second connecting block 18, the second mounting hole 17 and the second mounting block 16.
[0061] In this embodiment, the second mounting block 16 can be mounted on the top of the second slider 15 by a welding connection method known in the art, without any particular limitation.
[0062] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 8 and Figure 10 As shown, both the first mounting hole 7 and the second mounting hole 17 can be T-shaped structures. Specifically, the first connecting block 8 is a T-shaped structure adapted to the first mounting hole 7, and the second connecting block 18 is a T-shaped structure adapted to the second mounting hole 17.
[0063] In this embodiment, the first slider 5, the first mounting block 6, the first connecting block 8, the second slider 15, the second mounting block 16, and the second connecting block 18 can all be quenched 45# steel known in the art, which can provide good structural support for the clamping mold 9 and the guide mold 19.
[0064] Furthermore, the clamping mold 9, the wheel mold 12, and the guide mold 19 can all be nylon 66+30% glass fiber reinforced composite materials known in the art, which can reduce the pressure on the thin-walled tube through their own elastic deformation, and further prevent the occurrence of pressure damage and scratches on the outer surface of the thin-walled tube.
[0065] Furthermore, the clamping mold 9, the wheel mold 12, and the guide mold 19 can all be made of brass materials known in the art, which can generate a small amount of plastic deformation under pressure during the bending process. This not only further prevents the outer surface of the thin-walled pipe from being crushed or scratched, but also better adapts to the curved surface of the thin-walled pipe (i.e., the outer surface of the thin-walled pipe).
[0066] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, threaded holes are provided on the side walls of both the first mounting block 6 and the second mounting block 16 (for ease of description, the threaded hole on the first mounting block 6 is named the first threaded hole, and the threaded hole on the second mounting block 16 is named the second threaded hole). Meanwhile, as... Figure 8 and Figure 10 As shown, the first connecting block 8 and the second connecting block 18 also have a first threaded hole and a second threaded hole respectively on their side walls. Taking the first connecting block 8 and the first mounting block 6 as an example, when the first connecting block 8 is installed in the first mounting hole 7 on the first mounting block 6, a bolt (not shown in the figure) known in the art can be threaded into the first threaded hole, thereby fixing the first connecting block 8 inside the first mounting hole 7. Similarly, the second connecting block 18 can also be fixed in the second mounting hole 17 by a bolt known in the art.
[0067] Furthermore, when using this device to bend thin-walled pipes, if multiple thin-walled pipes of different specifications need to be bent, it is necessary to simultaneously change the appropriate clamping mold 9, wheel mold 12, and guide mold 19, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, greatly reducing work efficiency. Therefore, as Figures 2-4 , Figures 8-10 As shown, the number of the first bend groove 10, the second bend groove 13, and the guide groove 20 can all be several (two are shown in the figure), and they are arranged sequentially along the thickness direction of the clamping mold 9, the wheel mold 12, and the guide mold 19. The size of the first bend groove 10, the second bend groove 13, and the guide groove 20 in each layer is different.
[0068] When multiple thin-walled pipes of different specifications need to be bent, simply adjust the height of the thin-walled pipes to allow them to enter the corresponding first bending groove 10, second bending groove 13, and guide groove 20. This allows bending of multiple thin-walled pipes of different specifications without the need to replace the matching clamping mold 9, wheel mold 12, and guide mold 19, greatly improving work efficiency.
[0069] According to one embodiment of this utility model, a first sprocket (not shown in the figure) is mounted on the clamping arm 2 and coaxially arranged with the rotating shaft 3, and a third drive motor (not shown in the figure) is mounted on the main arm 1. A second sprocket (not shown in the figure) is driven and engaged on the output shaft (i.e., the output end of the third drive motor). A chain (not shown in the figure) is arranged between the first sprocket and the second sprocket. The first sprocket is driven and engaged with the second sprocket through the chain, that is, the first sprocket meshes with one end of the chain, and the second sprocket meshes with the other end of the chain.
[0070] In this embodiment, the third drive motor can be mounted using bolt connections as known in the art. Figure 1 At the bottom end of the main boom 1, the first sprocket can be mounted using bolt connections known in the art. Figure 1 The bottom end of the middle clamping arm 2, and the second sprocket can be driven by a reducer (not shown in the figure) known in the art to the output shaft of the third drive motor.
[0071] In this embodiment, the first drive motor, the second drive motor, and the third drive motor can all be powered by power supply equipment known in the art (not shown in the figure), and all three drive motors can rotate in both forward and reverse directions. How to control the motors to rotate in both directions is prior art and will not be elaborated upon here.
[0072] It should be understood that, since the first mounting block 6 and the second mounting block 16 have the same structure, and the first mounting hole 7 and the second mounting hole 17 also have the same structure, therefore, through Figure 7This allows us to understand the structure of the first mounting block 6, the first mounting hole 7, the second mounting block 16, and the second mounting hole 17 simultaneously.
[0073] The working process of this device will be briefly described below with reference to the above embodiments: First, place one end of the thin-walled tube to be bent in a tube clamp known in the art (not shown in the figure), and place the other end in a plastic steel clamp known in the art (not shown in the figure).
[0074] Then, the first drive motor and the second drive motor are started, and the first bend groove 10 and the second bend groove 13 clamp the thin-walled tube, while the guide groove 20 contacts the outer surface of the thin-walled tube.
[0075] Next, the third drive motor is started, which allows the clamping arm 2 to rotate around the rotating shaft 3 on the main arm 1. As the tube clamp and plastic steel clamp move, the thin-walled tube can be bent (i.e., bent) through the wheel mold 12 and clamping mold 9.
[0076] During the above process, the guide groove 20 on the guide mold 19 will slide relative to the outer surface of the thin-walled tube, providing support and guidance for the thin-walled tube, thereby ensuring the smooth progress of the tube bending operation.
[0077] It should be understood that the above-described embodiments or examples of this utility model can be combined with each other and have corresponding technical effects.
[0078] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
