Description

Combined mold core structure for cold-push forming of straight pipe elbow

Technical Field

The invention relates to a mold core structure, in particular to a combined mold core structure with a straight pipe elbow for cold-push forming.

Background

In the prior art, there is no mature method for manufacturing the elbow with straight pipe, and the common elbow and elbow with straight pipe are defined as two different products in the industry, and most common existing technologies for manufacturing the common elbow have the following ways:

the first mode is a rotary drawing type technology, the bending machine in the prior art can only enable the curvature radius of the formed elbow to reach the size which is close to 1.5 times of the diameter of the elbow, and the wall thickness reduction rate of the outer side of the elbow exceeds 50 percent, which is completely not in line with the requirements of international standard specifications. Such elbows are only used in low end or civil industries and cannot be used in high industrial requirements, military industries or in construction articles for the transport of corrosive liquids.

The second mode is a cold push technology, a pipe to be manufactured is directly pushed into a mould with a bend through pressure, the pipe is limited by the outside of the mould with the bend, the pipe at the bend can be limited by the mould with the bend to deform, namely, when the pipe is bent to manufacture a bend, a mould core is added in the pipe to serve as a limitation, so that the pipe is limited by the mould core inwards in a deformation state, cannot excessively deform into the pipe, and is limited by the bend when deforming outwards, the pipe needs to be matched with a mould core structure to be shaped and limited by an external mould, and the thickness reduction rate of the outer side wall of the pipe is reduced as much as possible to meet the standard. Although the mode of increasing the mold core can solve the problem of the wall thickness reduction rate of the outer side of the elbow, the elbow with the straight pipe cannot be manufactured, because the mold core in the elbow can be clamped in the part of the straight pipe after the elbow with the straight pipe is manufactured, and the mold core cannot be taken out from the elbow with the straight pipe.

The third type is a lace type inner core which is also used for 90-degree elbow depoling, and is formed by firstly assembling a die core structure which is split into a plurality of parts, then supporting the die core structure in a hydraulic mode, carrying out cold pushing on a pipe to be manufactured through the die core structure and a die to form an elbow, then recovering the hydraulic supporting force of the die core structure, disassembling the die core structure, and sequentially taking out the die core structure from the elbow. However, in this way, it is still impossible to manufacture the elbow with the straight pipe, and the whole technology and structure are too complicated, and the mold core is questionable about its feasibility in the process of disengaging the elbow, and is likely to be an unrealizable technology in the actual production.

The processing methods in the prior art can only manufacture common elbows and cannot manufacture elbows with straight pipes, and the reason is that the two ends of the elbow with the straight pipes are respectively provided with the straight pipes with the pipe diameter length, so that the mold core in the prior art cannot be pulled out and separated from the elbow with the straight pipes after the process is finished.

Although the elbow with the straight pipe has obvious convenience and connection mode selectivity in installation and use, a good method which can ensure that the outer arc reduction rate of a product reaches the standard and can smoothly loose the core and demould the product is not found in the prior art.

Since the inner curved surface of the first elbow module 131 cannot be completely attached to the inner wall of the linear pipe 31, the first elbow module 131 pivots along the inner wall of the path of the pipe 41 with the straight pipe elbow 4 through the first pivot 1311, the inner curved surface of the first elbow module 131 abuts against the inner wall of the linear pipe 31 in a non-attachment manner, the outer side of the first elbow module 131 is not limited by the third elbow module 135, and the inner curved surface of the first elbow module 131 cannot be attached to the inner wall of the pipe 31, so that the volume of the inner curved surface of the first elbow module 131 is increased, and in this case, the first elbow module 131 moves along the pipe 41 and is separated from the second elbow module 133 and the third elbow module 135.

Referring to fig. 13, the first elbow module 131 is taken out from the pipe 41 with the straight pipe elbow 4. In addition, the groove bottom of the fixing groove 216 of the push rod 213 is further provided with a pin withdrawing hole 2161. The pin withdrawing hole 2161 penetrates the outer wall of the push rod 213. The user can insert the pin-removing hole 2161 through one end of the pin-removing rod (such as a tube or a rod) and press the elastic pin 1113, so that the elastic pin 1113 is compressed, and after the pin is removed from the fixing groove 216, the distance between the push rod 213 and the guide 111 is not limited, and the push rod 213 is separated from the guide 111.

Referring to fig. 14, step S19 is performed in which the shaping section 15 moves away from the elbow section 13, the second power module 23 pulls the fixing member 233, the fixing member 233 drives the shaping member 151 to move through the positioning rod 1511, the shaping member 151 drives the second shaft rod 155 to move to one end along the second waist-shaped hole 1531, and the second shaft rod 155 abuts against one end in the second waist-shaped hole 1531.

Referring to fig. 15, the second shaft 155 drives the second connecting rod 153, the second fixing through hole 1133 of the second connecting rod 153 drives the second pivot shaft 1331, and the second pivot shaft 1331 is linked with the second elbow module 133. The second elbow module 133 is a part of the combined mold core structure 1 attached to the inner wall of the pipe 31 at the bending section of the pipe 3, and the inner side of the second elbow module 133 has a bending surface attached to the pipe 31. When the second elbow module 133 is pulled by the second pivot shaft 1331, the curved surface of the inner side of the second elbow module 133 moves from the inner wall attached to the curved pipe 31 to the inner wall of the linear pipe 31, and at the same time, the second elbow module 133 moves to the linear pipe 31, which indicates that the outer side of the second elbow module 133 has been separated from the third elbow module 135. Since the inner curved surface of the first elbow module 131 cannot be completely attached to the inner wall of the linear pipe 31, the second elbow module 133 pivots along the inner wall of the path of the pipe 41 with the straight pipe elbow 4 through the second pivot shaft 1331, the inner curved surface of the second elbow module 133 abuts against the inner wall of the linear pipe 31 in a non-attachment manner, the outer side of the second elbow module 133 is not limited by the third elbow module 135, and the inner curved surface of the second elbow module 133 can also accommodate the portion with excessive volume due to the fact that the inner curved surface cannot be attached to the inner wall of the pipe 31, so that the second elbow module 133 moves along the pipe 41 and is separated from the third elbow module 135. Referring to fig. 14, the second elbow module 133 is taken out of the pipe 41 with the straight pipe elbow 4.

Referring to fig. 16, step S21 is performed to take out the third elbow module 135 in the pipe 41 with the straight pipe elbow 4. Thus, the structure with the straight pipe elbow 4 can be completely obtained.

Referring to fig. 4, in the present embodiment, the straight pipe elbow cold forming apparatus with combined mold core structure 1 further includes a third power module 25, and the third power module 25 is located at one side of the curved channel 18. The third power module 25 is identical in structure and function to the second power module 23. When a straight pipe elbow with a 45-degree angle or a 30-degree angle needs to be formed, only the first module 172 of the first mold 193 needs to be replaced by a third module, the third module is fixed on the first clamp 171, the third module is provided with a third mold channel and a plurality of third positioning structures, the third positioning structures are located around the third mold channel, and the curvature of the third mold channel is different from that of the first mold channel 170. Similarly, the second module 192 of the second mold 193 is replaced with a fourth module, and the fourth module is fixed to the second clamp 191, and has a fourth mold channel and a plurality of fourth positioning structures, wherein the plurality of fourth positioning structures are located around the fourth mold channel, and the curvature of the fourth mold channel is the same as the curvature of the third mold channel. The third positioning structures and the fourth positioning structures are mutually embedded, the third mould channel is combined with another bent channel combined by the fourth mould channel, wherein the bending degree of the other bent channel is within an angle range from more than 90 degrees to less than 180 degrees (the bending angle refers to a channel included angle), in other words, the bending angle of the other bent channel is within an angle range from a straight channel to less than 90 degrees. The curvature of the modular core structure 1 matches the curvature of the other curved channel.

In the present embodiment, the bending angle of the other curved channel does not exceed 90 degrees, i.e. when the straight channel bends 30 degrees or 45 degrees, the elbow section 13 of the combined mold core structure 1 can replace the first elbow module 131, the second elbow module 133 and the third elbow module 135 with two symmetrical elbow modules as mold cores, because the shapes of the bending parts of the two symmetrical elbow modules are not limited by the angle of the straight pipe, namely, the shape of the bending part can not be blocked in the pipe of the straight pipe due to the limitation of the bending angle, the pipe can be smoothly taken out of the pipe of the straight pipe, wherein two outer ends of the symmetrical modules are respectively combined at one end of the guide straight pipe section 11 and one end of the shaping section 15, the two ends of the symmetrical modules corresponding to the two ends of the straight guiding pipe section 11 and the shaping section 15 are respectively a combination structure of a shoulder and a concave shoulder, which is not described herein.

After the third power module 25 is located at one end of another curved channel and the second power module 23 is located at the other end of another curved channel, the combined mold core structure corresponding to another curved channel is replaced, and the pipe 3 can be bent into an elbow with a straight pipe at another angle after the combined mold core structure is assembled. In the present embodiment, the curved channel and the combined mold core structure of the matching module are selected according to the desired curvature of the tube 3. The third power module 25 is also arranged according to the position of one end of the curved path.

In summary, the present embodiment provides a combined mold core structure for cold-push forming of a straight tube elbow, where the combined mold core structure includes a guide, a first elbow module, a second elbow module, a third elbow module, and a fixing element. The modular core structure is located within the curved channel. The pipe orifice of the pipe to be manufactured is sleeved with a guide piece of a combined type mold core structure, the pipe is pushed into a curved channel in a cold pushing mode, the bending degree and the pipe wall thickness of the pipe are limited by the outer wall of the combined type mold core structure and the inner wall of the curved channel, the pipe is shaped into a straight pipe elbow, the inner side of the curved section with the straight pipe elbow extends outwards, and the outer arc thinning rate is not more than about 10%.

The combined mold core structure in the straight pipe elbow is disassembled, the first elbow module is pulled out through a simple mechanical structure, the side face of the first elbow module is attached to the inner wall of the straight pipe elbow, when the inner side face of the first elbow module is moved to the inner wall of the straight pipe which is not attached to the inner wall of the straight pipe elbow which is not attached to the inner side face of the straight pipe elbow, the outer side of the first elbow module is not limited by the third elbow module, the inner side of the first elbow module has more volume due to the fact that the pipe wall is not attached to the inner side of the first elbow module, the outer side of the first elbow module does not have the limitation of the third elbow module, and the more volume of the first elbow module can be. Therefore, the shape of the bending part of the first elbow module is not limited by the angle of the straight pipe, namely the shape of the bending part is not clamped in the pipe of the straight pipe due to the limitation of the bending angle, the pipe of the straight pipe can be smoothly separated, and the second elbow module is the same as the first elbow module, so the description is omitted. Thus, the combined mold core structure is separated from the elbow with the straight pipe in a partitioning manner by a simple mechanical structure mode, so that the complete manufacturing process of the elbow with the straight pipe is completed. The invention can simplify the manufacturing process of forming the straight pipe elbow by cold pushing.
