[0002] Currently, on construction sites, especially when connecting two tubular objects at an angle, a hole must be drilled in the mother pipe. The hole profile resembles a saddle, and a specially shaped opening must be cut at the end of the branch pipe to match the opening in the mother pipe. When welding two curved surfaces, preforming the opening and subsequently drawing lines on the workpiece is also problematic. Chinese utility model application CN 117537692 A discloses a practical saddle-shaped mouth former with a molding component.The mold component comprises: a flexible plate body; a cavity evenly open in the longitudinal section of the flexible plate body; a guide strip arranged in the cavity; a partition evenly arranged in the center of the outer wall of the flexible plate body; and a groove body arranged symmetrically at the upper and lower ends of the partition and connected to the flexible plate body, said groove body being perpendicular to the guide strip. The practical saddle-jaw former has several strip grooves evenly arranged on the flexible plate body. Telescopic positioning rods are arranged in these strip grooves. The practical saddle-jaw former has several strip grooves evenly arranged on the flexible plate body. Telescopic positioning rods are arranged in these strip grooves.The inner diameter and shape of the saddle mouth are determined by the telescopic positioning rods, allowing the user to open the closable saddle mouth openings on the branch pipe and mother pipe. With the practical saddle mouth former, the user can mark the shape of the saddle mouth on the surface of the branch pipe and mother pipe by attaching a positioning component consisting of a square and a triangular plate.
[0003] Practice has shown that although the telescopic positioning rod can determine the inner diameter and shape of the saddle opening, it is a multi-layer tube stack, the diameter takes up a lot of space, the density of the forming points is insufficient, and it is difficult to ensure accuracy. Closing and fixing with the clamping element is cumbersome, time-consuming, and inefficient. Contents of the utility model
[0004] The object of the utility model is to solve the problem that the state of the art has a low precision in forming and the operation is cumbersome and provides a multi-curved universal former.
[0005] The technical solution of the utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is: The multi-curved universal former consists of a forming rod, a hinge unit, and a forming end block. It is characterized by the following features: several forming rods that also form the pins of the hinge unit. Several hinge units are connected by the forming rod to form a hinge row, and forming end blocks are located at both ends of each forming rod.
[0006] The hinge unit consists of at least four even-numbered pivot pin receptacles. These pivot pin receptacles are divided into two groups. The end heads of the pivot pin receptacles are spaced apart and firmly connected to each other. The pivot pin receptacle is cuboid-shaped and has an axial bore in the longitudinal direction. The two side surfaces in the width direction are semicircular curved surfaces on the outside and flat surfaces on the inside.
[0007] If the end of the stud receptacle is not properly aligned, a projection is placed toward the stud hole to create the connection and allow for later insertion of the forming rod. A friction ring is mounted on the forming rod, which provides a damping effect. The friction ring consists of an elastic or magnetic material.
[0008] The multi-curved universal former according to claim 1, wherein: forming end blocks are arranged at both ends of the forming rod. The forming end block is rectangular. A blind hole is located longitudinally on one end face. The blind hole corresponds to the diameter of the forming rod. When the forming rod is inserted into the blind hole, a tight fit is created. A bevel is located longitudinally at the other end of the forming end block. The sharp angle of the bevel at the lower end ensures precise forming.
[0009] At one end of the hinge row, consisting of hinge units, a buckle is attached to lock the hinge row in the closed position. The buckle is used to lock the hinge row during molding on a round tube.
[0010] Compared to the state of the art, the utility model has the following advantageous effects: The utility model consists of hinge rows and forming rods. Shaping is achieved by moving the forming rod, which is convenient and fast. When forming a cylindrical object, the hinge row can be tightly wrapped around the object and secured with a buckle. Connecting multiple curved surfaces saves time and labor. The hinge row of the device can select hinge units by extending the forming rod to obtain hinge rows of different lengths. This is flexible, convenient, and provides high forming efficiency. Description with drawings Fig. shows the structure of the utility model schematically.
