[0057] The support frame is made of a spring-like strip wound around it. When producing rigid support frames, the ends of the pipes of varying lengths need to be processed, such as flattened, with heads and tails removed. The conventional method typically involves manually delivering the pipes to the designated location for subsequent processing, resulting in low processing efficiency and the inability to achieve precise positioning and delivery.

[0058] Based on the above concepts and problems, the present invention proposes a positioning and feeding device 100. It can be understood that the positioning and feeding device 100 is used to position and transport the pipe 6, and the pipe 6 can be a cylindrical pipe.

[0059] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5As shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, the positioning and feeding device 100 includes a support frame 1, a push rod assembly 2 and a positioning mechanism 3, wherein the support frame 1 has a conveying surface 131, and the conveying surface 131 is used to convey the pipe 6; the push rod assembly 2 is arranged on the support frame 1 and is located at one end of the conveying surface 131, and the push rod assembly 2 includes a push plate 21 that can slide along the conveying surface 131, and the push plate 21 is used to push the pipe 6; the positioning mechanism 3 is arranged on the support frame 1 and is located at the other end of the conveying surface 131, and the positioning mechanism 3 includes a blocking piece 31 and a pushing assembly 33 located on opposite sides of the conveying surface 131.

[0060] In this embodiment, the positioning mechanism 3 has a first state in which the blocking piece 31 and the pushing assembly 33 are close to the conveying surface 131, and a second state in which the blocking piece 31 and the pushing assembly 33 are away from the conveying surface 131; in the first state, the blocking piece 31 and the pushing assembly 33 are enclosed with the conveying surface 131 to form a positioning groove, which is used to position the pipe 6 on the conveying surface 131.

[0061] As will be appreciated, support frame 1 is used to mount and secure push rod assembly 2 and positioning mechanism 3. The structure of support frame 1 can be a bracket, a frame, a body, a mounting frame, a mounting platform, or a mounting shell, etc., without limitation herein. In this embodiment, support frame 1 is also used to store and place pipes 6, providing a conveying channel for the pipes 6.

[0062] In this embodiment, the support frame 1 has a conveying surface 131 for conveying the pipe 6. It is understood that the conveying surface 131 can be a flat conveying channel or a conveying channel with a trough structure, as long as the pipe 6 can be moved or slidably conveyed on the conveying surface 131 without any limitation.

[0063] In this embodiment, the push plate 21 of the push rod assembly 2 is used to push the pipe 6 from one end of the conveying surface 131 to the other end of the conveying surface 131. It is understandable that the push plate 21 can be used to push the pipe 6 manually or automatically. In order to improve the automation and intelligence of the positioning and feeding device 100, the push plate 21 of the push rod assembly 2 can be optionally used to automatically push the pipe 6, that is, to provide the push plate 21 with a driving force that automatically drives the push plate 21 to move, such as a driving cylinder, a telescopic rod, a motor and a screw rod structure, or a motor and a conveyor belt structure, etc., which are not limited here.

[0064] In this embodiment, the positioning mechanism 3 is arranged at one end of the support frame 1 away from the push rod assembly 2, and the blocking plate 31 and the pushing assembly 33 of the positioning mechanism 3 are located on opposite sides of the conveying surface 131, so that when the positioning mechanism 3 is in the first state, the blocking plate 31 and the pushing assembly 33 of the positioning mechanism 3 are close to the conveying surface 131, so that the blocking plate 31 and the pushing assembly 33 are enclosed with the conveying surface 131 to form a positioning groove, so that the positioning groove is used to position the pipe 6, and the push plate 21 is used to push the pipe 6 to achieve positioning and transportation.

[0065] The positioning and feeding device 100 of the present invention is achieved by arranging a push rod assembly 2 and a positioning mechanism 3 on the support frame 1, and using the push plate 21 of the push rod assembly 2 to push the pipe 6 to slide along the conveying surface 131 of the support frame 1, thereby realizing the conveying of the pipe 6; at the same time, the blocking piece 31 and the pushing assembly 33 of the positioning mechanism 3 are close to the conveying surface 131 in the first state, so that the blocking piece 31 and the pushing assembly 33 are enclosed with the conveying surface 131 to form a positioning groove, thereby realizing positioning of the conveying of the pipe 6 by using the positioning groove, so that the positioning and feeding device 100 can realize positioning and conveying of the pipe 6, thereby improving the processing efficiency of the processing equipment.

[0066] In one embodiment, if Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the positioning mechanism 3 further includes a first driving member 32 disposed on the support frame 1, and the blocking piece 31 is connected to the output shaft of the first driving member 32. In this embodiment, in the first state, the first driving member 32 drives the blocking piece 31 to face the pushing assembly 33, and forms a positioning groove with the pushing assembly 33 and the conveying surface 131. In the second state, the first driving member 32 drives the blocking piece 31 away from the conveying surface 131.

[0067] It is understood that the first driving member 32 provides driving force for the blocking piece 31, thereby facilitating the blocking piece 31 to align with the pushing assembly 33 and forming a positioning groove together with the pushing assembly 33 and the conveying surface 131 to achieve positioning of the pipe 6. Optionally, the first driving member 32 can be a driving cylinder, a telescopic cylinder, a telescopic rod, a motor and a screw rod structure, or a motor and a pulley structure, etc., as long as it can provide driving force for the blocking piece 31, and the structure is not limited here.

[0068] In this embodiment, in order to provide an increased space for the conveying surface 131 of the support frame 1 and facilitate other equipment to perform other processing steps on the pipe 6 on the conveying surface 131, the first driving member 32 is arranged on the side of the support frame 1, so that the direction in which the first driving member 32 drives the blocking plate 31 to move is perpendicular to the conveying surface 131, that is, the first driving member 32 drives the blocking plate 31 to move up and down, and the first driving member 32 drives the blocking plate 31 to move upward, so that the blocking plate 31 is opposite to the pushing assembly 33, and is surrounded by the pushing assembly 33 and the conveying surface 131 to form a positioning groove; the first driving member 32 drives the blocking plate 31 to move downward, thereby shrinking the blocking plate 31 to one side of the support frame 1.

[0069] It is understandable that the first driving member 32 can be directly fixed to the support frame 1, for example, by welding, so as to improve the installation stability of the first driving member 32. Of course, the first driving member 32 can also be detachably provided on the support frame 1 through other structures, such as by snap connection, plug-in fit, screw connection or pin connection, etc., so as to facilitate the disassembly, replacement or maintenance of the first driving member 32 and the blocking piece 31, which is not limited here.

[0070] In one embodiment, if Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the positioning mechanism 3 further includes a fixed seat 35 and a second driving member 36, wherein the fixed seat 35 is disposed on the support frame 1 and is adjacent to the conveying surface 131; the second driving member 36 is disposed on the fixed seat 35, and the output shaft of the second driving member 36 is connected to the pushing assembly 33. In this embodiment, in the first state, the second driving member 36 drives the pushing assembly 33 toward the conveying surface 131, and forms a positioning groove with the blocking piece 31 and the conveying surface 131; in the second state, the second driving member 36 drives the pushing assembly 33 away from the conveying surface 131.

[0071] As will be appreciated, the fixing base 35 is used to support, mount, and secure the second driving member 36 and the pushing assembly 33. The fixing base 35 may be a plate-like structure, a mounting platform, a mounting frame, a mounting surface, or other structures, without limitation herein. The second driving member 36 is used to provide a driving force for the pushing assembly 33, causing the pushing assembly 33 to move toward or away from the conveying surface 131. Thus, in the first state, the second driving member 36, the blocking plate 31, and the conveying surface 131 form a positioning groove, thereby achieving the desired positioning and conveying of the pipe 6.

[0072] Optionally, the second driving member 36 is a driving cylinder, a telescopic cylinder, a telescopic rod, a structure of a motor and a screw rod, or a structure of a motor and a pulley, etc. As long as it can provide driving force for the pushing assembly 33, it can be any structure and is not limited here.

[0073] In one embodiment, if Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, the pushing assembly 33 includes a sliding plate 331, a pushing plate 332, at least one connecting rod 333 and at least one spring 334, wherein the sliding plate 331 is connected to the output shaft of the second driving member 36; the pushing plate 332 is arranged opposite to the sliding plate 331, and is located on the side of the sliding plate 331 facing away from the second driving member 36; one end of the connecting rod 333 is connected to the pushing plate 332, and the other end of the connecting rod 333 is slidably passed through the sliding plate 331; the spring 334 is sleeved on the connecting rod 333, and the two ends of the spring 334 are elastically abutted against the pushing plate 332 and the sliding plate 331.

[0074] In this embodiment, the sliding plate 331 is fixed to the output shaft of the second driving member 36, for example, by welding, snap connection, plug-in connection, screw connection, or pin connection, which is not limited here. By disposing a connecting rod 333 and a spring 334 between the sliding plate 331 and the push plate 332, the spring 334 is sleeved on the connecting rod 333, one end of the connecting rod 333 is connected to the push plate 332, and the other end of the connecting rod 333 is slidably inserted into the sliding plate 331. Therefore, when the push plate 332 contacts the pipe 6 on the conveying surface 131, the buffering effect of the spring 334 and the sliding of the connecting rod 333 relative to the sliding plate 331 maintain the pre-load or buffering amount of the movement, thereby preventing the pipe 6 from being flattened when the second driving member 36 drives the sliding plate 331 to drive the push plate 332 to press the pipe 6.

[0075] It is understandable that one end of the connecting rod 333 passing through the sliding plate 331 can be limited by a structure such as a nut to prevent the sliding plate 331 and the push plate 332 from being separated from the sliding plate 331 under the elastic force of the spring 334.

[0076] In this embodiment, in order to improve the connection stability between the sliding plate 331 and the push plate 332, and to provide guidance for the push plate 332 when the push plate 332 is squeezed by the reaction force of the pipe 6 and pushed toward the sliding plate 331, a plurality of connecting rods 333 are arranged between the sliding plate 331 and the push plate 332. The plurality of connecting rods 333 are arranged at intervals, and a spring 334 is provided on each connecting rod 333.

[0077] In one embodiment, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the push rod assembly 2 further includes a fixed plate 22, a third driving member 23, and a guide rod 24. The fixed plate 22 is mounted on the support frame 1 and positioned at one end of the conveying surface 131. The third driving member 23 is fixed to the fixed plate 22, and its output shaft is connected to the push plate 21. The guide rod 24 slidably passes through the fixed plate 22 and is connected to the push plate 21. The guide rod 24 and the third driving member 23 are arranged parallel to each other and spaced apart. In this embodiment, the third driving member 23 drives the push plate 21 to slide along the conveying surface 131 and move it toward or away from the positioning mechanism 3.

[0078] As will be appreciated, the fixing plate 22 is used to mount, secure, and support the third drive member 23 and guide rod 24. The fixing plate 22 may be a plate-like structure, a mounting platform, a mounting shell, or a mounting surface, without limitation herein. The third drive member 23 provides driving force for the push plate 21. The third drive member 23 may be a drive cylinder, a telescopic cylinder, a telescopic rod, a motor coupled with a screw, or a motor coupled with a pulley, as long as it can provide driving force for the push plate 21. This is not limited herein.

[0079] In this embodiment, a guide rod 24 is provided to ensure that the third driving member 23 maintains balance when driving the push plate 21 to move along the conveying surface 131. As can be understood, the fixed plate 22 is provided with a mounting hole, in which a linear bearing is provided. The guide rod 24 is slidably inserted into the linear bearing of the fixed plate 22, thereby enabling the guide rod 24 to serve as an auxiliary positioning function.

[0080] In one embodiment, if Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the support frame 1 includes a support base 11, two support plates 12 arranged on the support base, and a material storage plate 13. The two support plates 12 are arranged on the support base 11 at intervals, and the two ends of the material storage plate 13 are respectively connected to the two support plates 12, so that the support base 11, the two support plates 12 and the material storage plate 13 enclose a mounting cavity 1a, that is, the support frame 1 is provided with a mounting cavity 1a.

[0081] In this embodiment, a conveying surface 131 is formed on the side of the material storage plate 13 facing away from the mounting chamber 1a. To enhance the structural strength of the material storage plate 13, the mounting chamber 1a is provided with multiple spaced reinforcement plates, each end of which is connected to the material storage plate 13 of the support base 11. Optionally, the multiple reinforcement plates are spaced parallel to the two support plates 12.

[0082] In one embodiment, if Figure 1 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the positioning and feeding device 100 further includes a limiting assembly 4, which includes a fourth driving member 41 and a limiting plate 42. The fourth driving member 41 is disposed within the mounting cavity 1a; the limiting plate 42 is connected to the output shaft of the fourth driving member 41, and a limiting groove 43 is defined on the side of the limiting plate 42 facing the conveying surface 131. In this embodiment, the limiting plate 42 has a first position in which the conveying surface 131 is located within the limiting groove 43, and a second position in which the limiting plate 42 is retracted within the mounting cavity 1a. The fourth driving member 41 drives the limiting plate 42 to switch between the first and second positions.

[0083] In this embodiment, the notch of the limiting groove 43 of the limiting plate 42 faces the material storage plate 13 of the support frame 1. When the limiting plate 42 is in the first position, the material storage plate 13 passes through the notch of the limiting groove 43 and is located within the limiting groove 43. At this time, the side walls of the limiting groove 43 of the limiting plate 42 can be used to limit and guide the pipe 6, preventing the pipe 6 from sliding off the conveying surface 131 of the material storage plate 13. When the limiting plate 42 is in the first position, the material storage plate 13 is located at the notch of the limiting groove 43 of the limiting plate 42, that is, the conveying surface 131 of the material storage plate 13 is completely exposed, thereby making it easier for other equipment to clamp the pipe 6 from the conveying surface 131 and enter the next process step.

[0084] It can be understood that the first driving member 32 and the fixed seat 35 of the positioning mechanism 3 can also be installed on opposite sides of the limit plate 42. In this way, the fourth driving member 41 can be used to drive the limit plate 42 to drive the first driving member 32 and the fixed seat 35 of the positioning mechanism 3 to move, thereby leaving more space for the conveying surface 131 of the material storage plate 13, making it convenient for the equipment in the next process to take materials from the conveying surface 131.

[0085] In this embodiment, the fourth drive member 41 provides driving force for the limit plate 42. The fourth drive member 41 can be a drive cylinder, a telescopic cylinder, a telescopic rod, a motor and a screw rod structure, or a motor and a pulley structure, etc., as long as it can provide driving force for the limit plate 42. In order to ensure smooth movement of the limit plate 42, the limit assembly 4 includes multiple fourth drive members 41. Optionally, the fourth drive members 41 include two, and the two fourth drive members 41 are respectively fixed to the two support plates 12 of the support frame 1.

[0086] In one embodiment, if Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, the positioning and feeding device 100 also includes a lifting mechanism 5, which includes a mounting seat 51 and a fifth driving member 52, wherein the mounting seat 51 is provided with a sliding cavity 51a, and the support frame 1 can be slidably accommodated in the sliding cavity 51a; the fifth driving member 52 is fixed to the mounting seat 51, and the output shaft of the fifth driving member 52 can be movably passed through the sliding cavity 51a and connected to the side of the support frame 1 facing away from the conveying surface 131; the fifth driving member 52 drives the support frame 1 to slide along the inner wall of the sliding cavity 51a.

[0087] It is understood that the fifth drive member 52 provides driving force for the support frame 1. The fifth drive member 52 can be an adjustable stroke cylinder, a drive cylinder, a telescopic cylinder, a telescopic rod, a motor and a screw rod structure, or a motor and a pulley structure, etc., as long as it can provide driving force for the support frame 1. The mounting base 51 is used to mount and secure the fifth drive member 52 and the support frame 1. The structure of the mounting base 51 can be a mounting shell, a mounting frame, a bracket, a rack, or a mounting platform, etc., without limitation.

[0088] In one embodiment, if Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, the mounting seat 51 includes a mounting plate 511 and two side plates 512. The two side plates 512 are spaced apart from the mounting plate 511 and enclosed with the mounting plate 511 to form a sliding cavity 51a. A sliding rail 513 is provided on the side of each side plate 512 facing the other side plate 512; sliders 15 that slide with the sliding rails 513 are provided on the opposite sides of the support frame 1.

[0089] It can be understood that by setting a slide rail 513 on the side plate 512 of the mounting seat 51 and setting a slider 15 on the two support plates 12 of the support frame 1, the sliding cooperation between the slider 15 and the slide rail 513 can be utilized to enable the support frame 1 to be lifted up and down under the drive of the fifth driving member 52, thereby facilitating the transportation of the pipe 6 on the conveying surface 131 to different positions.

[0090] In one embodiment, if Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the support frame 1 is provided with a positioning piece 14, which is located at one end of the conveying surface 131 close to the positioning mechanism 3; in the first state, the blocking piece 31 and the pushing assembly 33 are enclosed with the conveying surface 131 and the positioning piece 14 to form a positioning groove.

[0091] It can be understood that by setting the positioning plate 14, the third driving member 23 drives the push plate 21 to push the pipe 6 along the conveying surface 131 until it abuts against the positioning plate 14, and then the blocking plate 31 and the pushing assembly 33 of the positioning mechanism 3 are used to further position and tighten the pipe 6.

[0092] The positioning and feeding device 100 of the present invention generally operates as follows: the fourth driving member 41 of the limiting assembly 4 drives the limiting plate 42 to be located in the first position, so that the storage plate 13 is located in the limiting groove 43. At this time, the pipe 6 is placed on the conveying surface 131 of the storage plate 13, and the third driving member 23 of the push rod assembly 2 drives the push plate 21 to push the pipe 6 to move along the conveying surface 131. At this time, the pipe 6 is restricted by the limiting groove 43 and will not cause problems such as falling from the conveying surface 131. Until the push plate 21 pushes the pipe 6 to abut against the positioning piece 14, the third driving member 23 drives the push plate 21 to return to the initial position. At the same time, the fourth driving member 41 of the limiting assembly 4 drives the limiting plate 42 to descend, and the first driving member 32 of the positioning mechanism 3 drives the blocking piece 31 upward At the same time as the lifting, the second driving member 36 drives the pushing assembly 33 to approach the conveying surface 131. When the blocking piece 31 is opposite to the pushing plate 332 of the pushing assembly 33 and is enclosed with the conveying surface 131 and the positioning piece 14 to form a positioning groove to position the pipe 6, the fifth driving member 52 of the lifting mechanism 5 drives the support frame 1 to drive the push rod assembly 2, the positioning mechanism 3 and the limit assembly 4 to rise to the conveying position of the next process. After the equipment of the next process clamps the pipe 6 on the conveying surface 131, the first driving member 32 of the positioning mechanism 3 drives the blocking piece 31 to descend, and the second driving member 36 drives the pushing assembly 33 away from the conveying surface 131, so that the pipe 6 is completely released on the conveying surface 131, which makes it convenient for the equipment of the next process to clamp the pipe 6. The positioning feeding device 100 of the present invention effectively realizes the positioning and conveying of the pipe 6, and improves the processing efficiency of the processing equipment.

[0093] The present invention further provides a processing device comprising a device body and the aforementioned positioning and feeding device 100, with the positioning and feeding device 100 disposed adjacent to the device body. The specific structure of the positioning and feeding device 100 is similar to that of the aforementioned embodiments.
