[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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] This invention provides, for example Figure 1 - Figure 4 The TPO hose expansion device shown includes:

[0022] Processing component 1 includes an installation machine 102, an oven 103 is provided on one side of the installation machine 102, a water-cooled box 106 is provided on one side of the oven 103, and a pull-out machine 107 is provided on one side of the water-cooled box 106.

[0023] Enclosure 2 is installed on top of the water-cooled box 106;

[0024] Cleaning component 3 includes multiple mounting slots 302 on the back of enclosure 2, with nozzles 301 interlaced inside the mounting slots 302, and an air supply component is provided on the back of enclosure 2.

[0025] It should be noted that the installation machine 102 consists of a cylinder and a mold for fixing the plug. When the plug needs to be inserted into one end of the hose, the plug is first placed inside the mold, then the end of the hose is aligned with the plug, and the plug is inserted into the end of the hose by pushing with the cylinder. The oven 103 is used to uniformly heat the TPO material, causing it to soften thermoplasticly, thereby eliminating the internal stress after diameter expansion and shaping it to the expanded diameter. The working principle of the oven 103 is to use the heating tube inside the oven 103 to generate radiant heat, and use a fan to force hot air to convect inside the cavity, forming a uniform and controllable high-temperature environment. The TPO tube section with the plug installed and still at a high temperature is immersed in the water-cooling box 106. Utilizing the huge heat capacity and high thermal conductivity of water as a cooling medium, the heat of the TPO material is quickly removed, and the material is cooled quickly and uniformly. The oven 103 heats and softens the TPO hose, causing it to rapidly transform from a highly elastic state to a glassy state, thus permanently fixing its expanded shape and achieving final dimensional stability and connection strength. The pull-out machine 107 consists of a cylinder and a mold for fixing the plug. During use, the plug at one end of the hose is inserted into the mold, and the cylinder moves the plug away from the hose, thus pulling it out of the hose. The enclosure 2 prevents water from splashing freely. After the hose end is cooled and lifted by the water-cooling box 106, gas is supplied through the air delivery nozzle 301. The gas blows away any water adhering to the hose, preventing water from dripping during transport to downstream processes and ensuring a clean processing area.

[0026] Specifically, a storage rack 101 is provided on the other side of the installation machine 102 for storing materials, and a temporary storage rack 108 is provided on one side of the extraction machine 107 for storing materials.

[0027] It should be noted that both the placement rack 101 and the temporary storage rack 108 are equipped with rollers at the bottom. The placement rack 101 is used to transport the unexpanded hose to one side of the installation machine 102, and the temporary storage rack 108 is used to collect the expanded hose and transport it to the required location.

[0028] Specifically, the oven 103 has a support plate 104 on the front and a slide rail 105 on the bottom of the support plate 104.

[0029] Specifically, the air supply component includes a main pipe 304 located on the back of the nozzle 301, an air supply pipe 305 located in the middle of the main pipe 304, a fan 306 located at one end of the air supply pipe 305, a fixing frame 303 fixedly connected to the back of the enclosure 2, and the main pipe 304 inserted into the middle of the fixing frame 303.

[0030] It should be noted that the fan 306 is an existing centrifugal fan 306. A centrifugal fan 306 is a fluid machine that relies on input mechanical energy to increase gas pressure and discharge gas. In operation, it is used for gas transport. During operation, the motor drives the impeller to rotate at high speed. Gas between the blades is accelerated and thrown out under centrifugal force, collecting in the volute-shaped casing. The kinetic energy of the gas is converted into static pressure energy, thus forming a high-pressure airflow that is discharged from the outlet. Simultaneously, a negative pressure is formed in the central area of ​​the impeller due to the ejected gas, and external gas is continuously drawn in under atmospheric pressure. This cycle achieves continuous gas intake and output. The gas delivery pipe 305 is connected to the output end of the fan 306 via a threaded connection. The gas is delivered to the inside of the gas supply pipe 305 by the fan 306. The main pipe 304 is a rigid pipe to prevent bending during use. The fixing bracket 303 has a hole on one side that matches the main pipe 304. When the position of the main pipe 304 needs to be fixed, the main pipe 304 is first supported in the required position, then the fixing bracket 303 is sleeved on the main pipe 304, and then the fixing bracket 303 is fixed to the back of the enclosure 2 by bolts or adhesive. The position of the main pipe 304 is fixed by the fixing bracket 303. The multiple nozzles 301 are all connected to the main pipe 304. During use, the gas is input into the multiple nozzles 301 through the main pipe 304.

[0031] Furthermore, when cleaning the moisture on the surface of the hose, the hose is first raised to the required position, and the air is introduced into the air supply pipe 305 by the blower 306. The air is then introduced into the main pipe 304 through the air supply pipe 305. Finally, the air is sprayed onto the hose through the nozzle 301 on the front of the main pipe 304, and the water on the hose is blown away by the wind.

[0032] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
