The flaring machine is widely applied in the field of mechanical manufacturing. The wall thickness of the pipe used in the air-conditioning household appliance industry is thinner, generally between 1 mm and 1.5mm, and in the field, a special pipe flaring machine is generally adopted for flaring. Because the wall thickness of the pipe is thin and the copper has good ductility, the flaring can be easily performed by using a male die reaming method. Because of the advantages of high efficiency, good flaring quality and the like of the pipe flaring machine, the pipe flaring machine is widely applied in the air conditioning industry, and at present, a plurality of manufacturers specially designed and produced various pipe flaring machines are provided.

Although the existing flaring machine is widely applied, the application of the flaring machine withstands the examination of engineering practice, particularly the application of the automatic flaring machine, the production efficiency and the product quality are greatly improved, the production cost is also reduced, and the flaring machine plays a great role in the aspects of household appliance manufacturing, aviation, medical appliances and the like in China. However, the tube expanding machine used at present still has the following two problems:

(1) for a large-scale automatic flaring machine, due to the fact that the design is complex, knowledge of subjects such as machinery, electricity and microelectronics is integrated, the price of the flaring machine is generally high, compared with the traditional pipe flaring equipment, the cost of the flaring machine is high in period and maintenance cost, and for enterprises, the cost can be expected to be reduced.

(2) The manual pipe expanding machine which is partially used at present has unreliable performance, poor expanding quality, high rejection rate and low efficiency. The quality of the produced workpiece is determined by the state and experience of workers, which has high requirements on the quality of the workers and has high labor intensity for the workers.

Because of the existence of above-mentioned two problems, each flaring machine producer all seeks to research and develop a novel tubular product flaring machine that efficient, reliable operation, simple structure, maintenance are easy, can effectively reduce the price simultaneously.

The automatic feeding and discharging device completes feeding of the workpiece by means of gravity: the workpiece naturally slides down from the slope surface in the hopper 102 under the action of gravity and reaches the shifting piece 101 through the material opening, because the width of the material passing opening is smaller than twice of the diameter of the pipe, the material passing opening can only pass through one pipe at each time, the pipe is in a single-layer side-by-side state and falls onto the shifting piece 101, the shifting piece 101 is pressed down by the workpiece (meanwhile, the elastic resetting machine is constructed to extrude), the blocking piece 1011 at the front end of the shifting piece 101 prevents the workpiece from directly falling onto the turntable 202 on the rotary workbench 2, especially prevents a plurality of workpieces from falling simultaneously, when the turntable shaft rotates to the V-shaped groove of the turntable to just face the blocking piece 1011 at the front end of the shifting piece, the blocking piece tends to be horizontal along with the downward turning of the shifting piece 101, the workpiece at the most front end naturally falls onto the groove of the turntable 202.

The interval between the arrangement mechanisms can screen the feeding direction of the pipes, and because each blocking rod is parallel to the turntable shaft 201, the upper blocking rod enables the workpiece to enter the hopper 102 only in a posture parallel to the turntable shaft 201, and the middle blocking rod and the lower blocking rod further adjust the position of the pipes, so that the pipes are kept in a posture parallel to the turntable shaft 201.

One end of the hopper 102 is fixedly connected with the blocking rod, and the end face and the front and rear side faces of the other end of the hopper are in sliding connection with the blocking rod, so that one end of the hopper 102 can move along the axis of the blocking rod according to the length of a pipe, and the end face and the front and rear side faces of the hopper are fastened through screws.

10. A pipe flaring method, characterized in that, the full-automatic pipe flaring machine of claim 9 is adopted, the width of the material passing port is less than twice of the diameter of the pipe, so that the material passing port can only pass through one pipe at a time, and the pipes falling onto the shifting sheet are in a single-layer side-by-side state;

the method comprises the following steps:

step 1: the pipe falls to the shifting sheet from the hopper under the action of gravity, and the shifting sheet is pressed downwards; meanwhile, the turntable rotates outwards, namely towards the direction of the lifting clamping mechanism; when the turntable shaft rotates to the separation blade at the front end of the shifting piece opposite to the V-shaped groove of the turntable, the separation blade tends to be horizontal along with the downward turning of the shifting piece, the workpiece at the front end naturally falls onto the V-shaped groove of the turntable under the action of gravity to finish workpiece feeding, and simultaneously, as the whole weight of the workpiece is reduced, the shifting piece automatically turns upwards under the action of the elastic resetting mechanism, so that the rest workpieces are prevented from falling in succession;

step 2: the turntable continues to rotate outwards to drive the pipe in the clamping groove to rise to the highest position and reach a processing station;

and step 3: when the workpiece rotates to a processing station along with the turntable shaft, the base top plate of the axial alignment mechanism rises under the driving of the cylinder and enables the roller to just contact with the pipe, and the roller drives the pipe to move axially so that the pipe reaches the axial stroke range of the flaring mechanism;

and 4, step 4: the turntable stops rotating; the lifting clamping mechanism descends the cover plate until the pipe is tightly pressed on the clamping groove;

and 5: the flaring head of the flaring mechanism axially punches the end part of the pipe to enlarge the pipe diameter of the end part of the pipe, thereby completing flaring;

step 6: the lifting clamping mechanism lifts the cover plate to release the pressing state of the pipe; then, the turntable continues to rotate outwards, and feeding is carried out while discharging;

and 7: and (5) repeating the steps 1 to 6 until the processing task is completed.
