The movable conducting rod is sleeved with a cylindrical corrugated pipe with the same diameter, one end of the corrugated pipe is connected with the movable end cover, and the other end of the corrugated pipe is connected with the movable conducting rod. The outer surface of the corrugated pipe is provided with U-shaped single waves with the same shape and size, and a plurality of single waves are connected to form a corrugated structure.
With the development of the corrugated pipe processing technology, a hydroformed corrugated pipe with gradually changing radial dimensions appears, for example, a reducing corrugated pipe and a forming method thereof disclosed in patent application publication No. CN106090453A and application publication No. 2016.11.09, the reducing corrugated pipe comprises a small-diameter straight-edge conical pipe section, a large-diameter straight-edge conical pipe section and a conical corrugated section located between the small-diameter straight-edge conical pipe section and the large-diameter straight-edge conical pipe section, and both the wave crest and the wave trough of the conical corrugated section gradually increase from the small-diameter straight-edge conical pipe section to the large-diameter straight-edge conical pipe section, so that the corrugated pipe is integrally conical.

The parts with different pipe wall thicknesses have different rigidities, so that the possibility of cracking can be reduced, and the service life of the whole corrugated pipe is prolonged.
Furthermore, a hydraulic forming die with a frustum-shaped cavity is adopted during hydraulic forming, and the diameter of the end part of the cavity corresponding to the movable end of the arc extinguish chamber corrugated pipe is smaller than the diameter of the end part corresponding to the static end of the arc extinguish chamber corrugated pipe.

As shown in fig. 2, the arc extinguish chamber corrugated pipe 16 is formed by processing a bobbin blank through a hydroforming process, the end of the arc extinguish chamber corrugated pipe 16, which is used for being matched with the movable conducting rod 15, is a movable end 162, the end matched with the movable end cover 11 is a stationary end 163, the wall thickness of the arc extinguish chamber corrugated pipe 16 is changed along the axial direction, that is, the wall thickness of the arc extinguish chamber corrugated pipe 16 is gradually reduced along the direction from the movable end 162 to the stationary end 163, and the wall thickness of the arc extinguish chamber corrugated pipe 162 is larger so as to ensure the rigidity of the movable end. Not only the tube wall thickness of explosion chamber bellows 16 can be along axial continuous variation, the external diameter of explosion chamber bellows 16 also can be along axial continuous variation, the external diameter of 16 quiet end departments of explosion chamber bellows will be greater than the external diameter of 16 movable end departments of explosion chamber bellows, the external diameter of explosion chamber bellows refers to the diameter that corresponds the department with the crest, the wave form of explosion chamber bellows is the U-shaped, the external diameter between 16 both ends of explosion chamber bellows wholly presents the trend of following the directional quiet end 163 of movable end 162 and increase gradually, and explosion chamber bellows 16 wholly is the frustum shape structure that one end is big one end is little.

As shown in fig. 3, when the arc extinguish chamber corrugated tube is processed, a plate material with uniform thickness needs to be rolled into a frustum-shaped bobbin blank 30 with two different end diameters, and in order to ensure that different tube wall thicknesses can be processed when the tube blank 30 is matched with the hydroforming die 20, when the tube blank 30 is placed in a die cavity, the distance between the whole outer peripheral surface of the bobbin blank 30 and the die cavity of the hydroforming die 20 is gradually increased from a moving end to a static end, that is, the distance between the outer peripheral surface of the moving end of the bobbin blank 30 and the die cavity is smaller than the distance between the outer peripheral surface of the static end of the bobbin blank 30 and the die cavity.
