The basic concept of elbow machine
1. Introduction
In modern manufacturing industry, elbow machine as an important mechanical equipment, widely used in pipe, valve, elbow and other metal products processing. With the development of industry, the technology of elbow machine continues to improve, the function is gradually diversified, and it has become an indispensable tool for various industrial production. In this paper, the basic concept, working principle, classification, application field and future development trend of elbow machine will be deeply discussed.
Two, the definition of elbow machine
Elbow machine is a kind of mechanical equipment used for bending metal pipes. Its main function is to bend the straight pipe into the desired shape at a certain Angle, so as to meet the requirements of different projects and products. Elbow machine can handle a variety of materials of pipe, including stainless steel, carbon steel, aluminum alloy, etc., widely used in construction, petrochemical, water supply heating and other industries.
Three, the working principle of the elbow machine
The working principle of the elbow machine is mainly based on the principle of material deformation in physical mechanics. The basic process can be divided into the following steps:
1. ** Feed ** : First, place the pipe to be processed on the workbench of the elbow machine and fix it through the fixture.
2. ** Set parameters ** : The operator sets the corresponding processing parameters according to the Angle and radius of bending required.
** Pressure ** : Elbow machine by hydraulic, mechanical or electric means to apply a certain pressure, so that the pipe in a specific bending mold plastic deformation.
4. ** Molding ** : Under the action of pressure, the pipe is gradually bent to the set Angle, and after forming, it is processed by cooling or heating to ensure its shape is stable.
5. ** Discharge ** : After the bending is completed, the elbow machine will release the finished pipe, and the worker can take it away for subsequent processing or direct application.
Four, the classification of elbow machine
According to different working principles and processing needs, elbow machines can be divided into many types. Here are some common ways to categorize:
1. ** Classified by power source ** :
- ** Hydraulic elbow machine ** : The use of hydraulic system to provide power, with strong processing capacity, easy operation and other advantages, suitable for large-scale production.
- ** Mechanical bending machine ** : Bending through mechanical transmission, suitable for small batch and precision machining, usually requires high operating skills.
- ** Electric elbow machine ** : Using electric drive, suitable for production lines with high degree of automation.
2. ** Classification by bending mode ** :
- ** Cold bending machine ** : bending pipes at room temperature, suitable for materials with low hardness.
- ** Hot bending machine ** : By heating the material to reduce its hardness, so as to achieve bending, suitable for thick wall pipes and high strength materials.
3. ** Classification by processing accuracy ** :
- ** Ordinary bending machine ** : suitable for general engineering requirements of bending, low accuracy, fast speed.
- ** Precision elbow machine ** : Used for parts processing with high precision requirements, usually equipped with advanced control systems.
Five, elbow machine application field
