1. Equipment composition:
The hydraulic expander is a complex mechanical equipment, and its core components include a sturdy frame, a stable base, and a flexible and adjustable curved plate. The frame serves as the supporting structure of the entire equipment to ensure that the equipment remains stable during operation. Several curved plates that are slidably connected on the base can be assembled according to barrels of different specifications to form a tight hollow cylindrical structure. This design enables the hydraulic expander to adapt to the processing needs of barrels of various sizes. The bottom end of the inner wall of the curved plate is tilted toward the center of the base. This special design provides key support for subsequent conical forming.
2. Working principle:
The working principle of the hydraulic expander is based on the efficient power transmission of the hydraulic system. The hydraulic pump drives the piston rod in the hydraulic cylinder to move, so as to realize the lifting and lowering of the lifting block. The lifting block fits tightly with the inner wall of the curved plate to ensure that the curved plate can expand outward evenly during the lifting process. This uniform expansion method avoids deformation or damage of the barrel due to uneven force during processing. At the same time, the hydraulic system has the characteristics of high-precision control, which can accurately adjust the expansion force and expansion speed to ensure the accuracy and efficiency of the processing process.
3. Operation process:
When using the hydraulic expander for tank conical forming, the barrel to be processed should be placed in a hollow cylindrical structure composed of arc plates and fixed in position. Then start the hydraulic system, and control the pressure and flow of the hydraulic pump to make the lifting block slowly rise. As the lifting block rises, the arc plate gradually expands outward, and the barrel begins to form a cone shape under pressure. During the expansion process, the pressure and flow of the hydraulic pump can be adjusted according to actual needs to achieve the best expansion effect and cone forming effect. The entire operation process is simple, efficient, safe and reliable.
4. Features and advantages:
The hydraulic expander has significant characteristics and advantages in tank conical forming. The lifting block is driven up and down by the hydraulic system to achieve uniform expansion of the arc plate, ensuring the accuracy and consistency of the barrel conical forming. The design of the arc plate is flexible and variable, and can be assembled and adjusted according to barrels of different specifications to meet diverse processing needs. The hydraulic system has high control accuracy and fast response speed, and can accurately control the expansion force and expansion speed to ensure the efficiency and safety of the processing process. These characteristics make the hydraulic expander have broad application prospects in metal processing, machinery manufacturing and other fields.
