Description of the Related Art
[0002] Primary issue with the traditional pipe bending process is a risk of deformation. The deformation includes collapsing or kinking.
[0003] Accordingly, there remains a need for a method of bending pipes without rolling machine.
SUMMARY
[0004] In view of the foregoing, embodiments herein provide a method of bending pipes without rolling machine. The method includes inputting a desired bend angle and pipe specifications. The method further includes preparing a sand filler and ensuring a hollow pipe is clean and free of obstructions. The method further includes filling the hollow pipe with the sand to provide internal support. The method further includes sealing both ends of the hollow pipe to prevent sand from spilling out during the bending process. The method further includes position the filled pipe in a fixed-angle channel.
[0005] The method further includes gradually applying pressure at one end of the filled pipe using a hydraulic or mechanical means. The method further includes monitoring the bending process to ensure that the angle is achieved without excessive force. Once the desired bend angle is reached, release the pressure. The method further includes removing the sand from the pipe.
[0006] In some embodiments. the hollow pipe comprises a steel, an aluminium, and Poly Vinyl Chloride (PVC).

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[00011] The embodiments herein and the various features and advantageous details thereof are explained more fully with reference to the non-limiting embodiments that are illustrated in the accompanying drawings and detailed in the following description. Descriptions of well-known components and processing techniques are omitted so as to not unnecessarily obscure the embodiments herein. The examples used herein are intended merely to facilitate an understanding of ways in which the embodiments herein may be practiced and to further enable those of skill in the art to practice the embodiments herein. Accordingly, the examples should not be construed as limiting the scope of the embodiments herein.
[00012] As mentioned, there remains a need for a method of bending pipes without rolling machine. Referring now to the drawings, and more particularly to FIGs. 1 through 2, where similar reference characters denote corresponding features consistently throughout the figures, there are shown preferred embodiments.
[00013] FIG. 1 illustrates a flow chart showing a method 100 of bending pipes without rolling machine, according to some embodiments herein. At step 102, the method 100 includes inputting a desired bend angle and pipe specifications. At step 104, the method 100 includes preparing a sand filler and ensuring a hollow pipe is clean and free of obstructions. At step 106, the method 100 includes filling the hollow pipe with the sand to provide internal support. At step 108, the method 100 includes sealing both ends of the hollow pipe to prevent sand from spilling out during the bending process. At step 110, the method 100 includes position the filled pipe in a fixed-angle channel. At step 112, the method 100 includes gradually applying pressure at one end of the filled pipe using a hydraulic or mechanical means. At step 114, the method 100 includes monitoring the bending process to ensure that the angle is achieved without excessive force. Once the desired bend angle is reached, release the pressure. At step 116, the method 100 includes removing the sand from the pipe.
[00014] In some embodiments, by filling the pipe with sand, the mechanism provides internal support, preventing the walls from collapsing under pressure and ensuring a smooth bend. Additionally, the design incorporates a base with a fixed channel set at a specific angle, allowing for consistent and precise bending, which is essential for applications requiring exact specifications. The application of pressure at one end of the pipe, while it is filled with sand, facilitates uniform pressure distribution, minimizing stress concentrations that could lead to failure or uneven bending. This method also reduces material waste, as it allows for cleaner bends and less need for post-processing adjustments.
[00015] In some embodiments, the desired bend angle is given to fixture mounted on the base plate. The sand is filled in the hollow pipe by using hopper. The pressure is applied by hydraulic or mechanical means. Further FIG. 2 shows in which direction force is applied to give desired shape to the pipe. In FIG. 2 the pipe is inserted into a fixture. The fixture provides bend angle. The fixture is mounted on a base plate. Further the pressure is applied at free end of the pipe through the hydraulic or mechanical means. Also, one end of the pipe is at a fixed position.
[00016] Furthermore, the use of sand as a filler enhances safety by lowering the risk of sudden pipe failure during the bending process. Bending hollow pipes of various diameters and materials for example includes steel, aluminium, PVC, and the like. Achieving precise bends at predetermined angles for, 30°, 45°, 90°, and the like.
[00017] In some embodiments, the method of bending reduces the risk of deformation and material waste during the bending process. The method of bending enhancing safety for operators by minimizing the risk of sudden pipe failure. The method of bending prevents deformation. The method provides precision and accuracy. The method reduces material waste. The method is versatile and cost-effective.
