The fourth linear drive 223 described in this embodiment is a linear cylinder.

Specifically, the conveying stroke of the second linear drive 62 corresponding to the second feeding device 1B is greater than the conveying stroke of the second linear drive 62 corresponding to the third feeding device 1C, so that a gap is left between the connecting component output by the second feeding device 1B and the connecting component output by the third feeding device 1C, which is convenient for the subsequent separation of the connecting components. A transfer clamping assembly 8 for clamping the pipe fitting 10 is provided on the conveying device 6 matched with the third feeding device 1C. The transfer clamping assembly 8 includes a finger cylinder and a claw installed on the chuck of the finger cylinder. The finger cylinder of the transfer clamping assembly 8 is installed on the first mounting seat of the conveying device 6 corresponding to the third feeding device 1C, so that the transfer clamping assembly 8 can be The receiving seat 5 moves, and the first manipulator 22A is used to transfer the pipe fitting 10 in the order of the nesting station 4 corresponding to the first feeding device 1A, the nesting station 4 corresponding to the second feeding device 1B, and the nesting station 4 corresponding to the third feeding device 1C. When the pipe fitting 10 moves to the nesting station 4 corresponding to the third feeding device 1C and the corresponding connecting component is sleeved, the transfer clamping assembly 8 clamps the pipe fitting 10, and the first manipulator 22A returns to continue to transport the next pipe fitting 10. The second manipulator 22B is used to take out the pipe fitting 10 on the transfer clamping assembly 8 and move it to the nesting station 4 corresponding to the fourth feeding device 1D.

Through the above scheme, when the first manipulator 22A moves the pipe fitting 10 to the sleeve station 4 corresponding to the third feeding device 1C and sleeves the corresponding connecting parts, the transfer clamping assembly 8 clamps the pipe fitting 10, and the first manipulator 22A returns to continue to transport the next pipe fitting 10. At the same time, the second manipulator 22B and the third manipulator 22C are used to continue to complete the transfer of the pipe fitting 10 clamped on the transfer clamping assembly 8. Through such a structure, when the equipment is connected to the pipe bending equipment, the pipe fitting 10 can be quickly transported. Compared with the structure of a single manipulator 22, the production efficiency can be effectively improved.

[0039] The third manipulator 22C is provided with a distribution mechanism 9, which is used to separate the connecting parts on the pipe fitting 10 to avoid interference of the connecting parts of each part with the pipe bending operation, and effectively improve the degree of automation of the pipe bending equipment, thereby further improving the production efficiency of the pipe bending equipment.

[0040] It should be noted that the fifth linear drive 91 and the sixth linear drive 92 include various types, such as electric cylinders, motors combined with ball screw mechanisms, motors combined with gear rack mechanisms, etc., which are not specifically limited here.

The third manipulator 22C transfers the pipe fitting 10 on the next station from the station to another station, the above-mentioned next station refers to the rear pipe end station, and the above-mentioned other station refers to the pipe bending station. Through the above scheme, when the first manipulator 22A moves the pipe fitting 10 to the sleeve station 4 corresponding to the third feeding device 1C and sleeves the corresponding connecting parts, the transfer clamping assembly 8 clamps the pipe fitting 10, and the first manipulator 22A returns to continue to transport the next pipe fitting 10. At the same time, the second manipulator 22B and the third manipulator 22C continue to complete the transfer of the pipe fitting 10 clamped on the transfer clamping assembly 8. Through such a structure, when the equipment is connected to the pipe bending equipment, the pipe fitting 10 can be quickly transported. Compared with the structure of a single manipulator 22, the production efficiency can be effectively improved.
