[0032] After adopting the above technical solution, the effects of the embodiment of the present invention are:

[0033] The pipe end cutting process includes the following steps to be implemented in sequence: S1, pipe guiding: guiding and blocking the pipe formed by the pipe production equipment through the first connecting and guiding mechanism; S2, pipe transfer: transferring the pipe on the first connecting and guiding mechanism to the first conveying mechanism through the first pipe pushing mechanism; S3, conveying and one-end sawing: conveying the single pipe to the sawing device through the first conveying mechanism, and cutting the head or tail of the pipe through the sawing device; S4, returning: separating the pipe after cutting the head or tail from the sawing device through the first conveying mechanism; S5, secondary transfer: removing the pipe after cutting the head or tail through the first pipe pushing mechanism The pipe is transferred to the second connecting guide mechanism downstream; S6, three transfers: the single pipe on the second connecting guide mechanism is transferred to the second conveying mechanism through the second pipe pushing mechanism; S7, four conveyings, sawing at the other end: the pipe with the head or tail cut is transported to another sawing device through the second conveying mechanism, and the pipe is cut or head cut by the sawing device; S8, transfer out: the pipe with the head and tail cut is transferred out through the second pipe pushing mechanism; S9, during the process of S5 to S8, the next pipe to be cut is synchronously processed according to the processes S1 to S4; S10, continuous cutting operation is performed according to the processes S1 to S9. The above process realizes the loading of pipes (steel pipes) one by one, and the cutting of heads and tails of the loaded pipes. Compared with the traditional method of feeding multiple steel pipes in batches at the same time, the process of aligning the pipe ends is eliminated, which helps to improve work efficiency. At the same time, the cutting of heads and tails is also a single cutting, with a fast cutting speed, which can effectively save a lot of time and greatly improve work efficiency.

[0034] Since the first pipe jacking mechanism and the second pipe jacking mechanism are both: stepped vertical jacking mechanism, or: swinging jacking mechanism; the first conveying mechanism and the second conveying mechanism are both: clamping conveying mechanism or roller conveying mechanism; the swinging jacking mechanism is used in conjunction with the clamping conveying mechanism, and the stepped vertical jacking mechanism is used in conjunction with the roller conveying mechanism, the above-mentioned coordination method is conducive to structural mutual avoidance, which provides a guarantee for effective and non-interference loading.

[0035] Since the swing-type lifting mechanism includes a first frame, a plurality of supporting rollers and a plurality of driving swing plates are rotatably installed on the first frame, and all the driving swing plates are driven by a connecting rod type synchronous driving mechanism, and each driving swing plate is provided with two connected wedge blocks, and the large end of one wedge block extends toward the first connecting guide mechanism, and a gear rod is provided on the driving swing plate corresponding to the large end of the other wedge block, and the gear rod is arranged perpendicular to the driving swing plate and is located upstream of the supporting roller; the top of the first frame is also provided with a plurality of supporting blocks located upstream of the supporting roller, and the supporting blocks are provided with an inclined surface, and the lower end of the inclined surface is arranged close to the supporting roller and connected with the gear rod, so that when the steel pipe is located on the first connecting guide mechanism, the synchronous driving mechanism drives all the driving swing plates to swing, and while swinging, one of the wedge blocks will lift up the first connecting guide mechanism. The steel pipe is then transported to the conveyor belt by means of a swing plate, which is driven by the guide rail to move the steel pipe to the conveyor belt, and then the steel pipe is transported to the conveyor belt by means of a swing plate.

[0036] Since the connecting rod type synchronous drive mechanism includes a top rod with one end fixed on each driving swing plate, the other end of all the top rods is hinged with a synchronous connecting rod; it also includes a first linear drive element hinged on the first frame, and the driving end of the first linear drive element is hinged together with the synchronous connecting rod, so that when driving the driving swing plate to move, the first linear drive element drives the synchronous connecting rod to move, and the synchronous connecting rod will drive all the top rods to move, thereby completing the driving swing on the feeding rack. The structure is simple and the reliability of the synchronous drive of all driving swing plates is high.

[0037] Since the clamping conveying mechanism includes a guide sleeve rotatably mounted on the top of the first frame, the guide sleeves are arranged in pairs and distributed on both sides of the supporting roller; it also includes a slide slidably mounted on the first frame and driven by a second linear drive element, the slide is provided with a motor, and the motor drives a driving wheel; an encoder is rotatably mounted on the first frame at a position corresponding to the driving wheel; a sensor is fixedly installed on the feed port of the sawing equipment, so that when the steel pipe is delivered to the supporting roller, the guide sleeve is used to constrain and guide the length direction of the steel pipe, and the second linear drive element is used to drive the motor and the driving wheel close to the steel pipe. Thereafter, the steel pipe is transported into the cutting equipment through the rotation of the driving wheel and the contact between the driving wheel and the steel pipe. The structure is simple and the guiding and conveying effect on the steel pipe is good; through the cooperation of the sensor and the encoder, the length of the steel pipe end entering the sawing equipment is guaranteed, thereby ensuring the quality of the steel pipe after cutting.

[0038] Since the first connecting guide mechanism and the second connecting guide mechanism both include a guide frame, the top of the guide frame is inclined toward the first frame body, the lower end of the guide rod is arranged close to the supporting roller, and a pipe blocking adjustment mechanism is provided on the guide frame located at the lower end of the guide rod; the pipe blocking adjustment mechanism includes a rotating shaft located at the lower end of the guide rod and rotatably installed in the length direction of the guide frame, and a plurality of baffles are fixedly installed on the rotating shaft; the rotating shaft is driven by an adjusting drive mechanism arranged on the first frame; the adjusting drive mechanism includes a nut seat rotatably installed on the first frame, and a screw rod is threadedly matched on the nut seat, one end of the screw rod is provided with a hand wheel, and the other end extends in the direction of the rotating shaft; a hinge shaft is also fixedly installed on the screw, and the hinge shaft is rotatably installed on the fixed block, A driving arm fixedly connected to the rotating shaft is fixed on the fixed block, so that during work, the steel pipes coming out of the steel pipe production equipment are guided by the guide rod, and the guided steel pipes are blocked by all baffles. When the blocking position of the steel pipe is adjusted according to work needs, the rotating shaft is driven to rotate by adjusting the driving mechanism, specifically: the operating handwheel drives the screw to rotate, and the screw drives the articulated shaft and the fixed block to move. During the movement, the driving arm swings and drives the rotating shaft to rotate, thereby realizing synchronous swinging of all baffles. In the above process, the articulated shaft and the nut seat will rotate accordingly, the structure is simple, the driving effect of the rotating shaft is good, and the blocking position of the steel pipe is adjusted quickly and conveniently; at the same time, the rotating shaft has a good effect of maintaining the same fixed state.

[0039] Since the stepped vertical pushing mechanism includes a second frame and a plurality of V-shaped conveying rollers rotatably mounted on the second frame, a third linear driving element is also vertically fixedly mounted on the second frame, and the driving end of the third linear driving element is installed with a mounting seat which is guide-sliding mounted on the second frame, and a pushing plate is installed on the mounting seat, and the top of the pushing plate is provided with two inclined guide surfaces with the same inclined direction, and the lower end of the inclined guide surface extends to the side away from the first connecting guide mechanism, and the lower end of the inclined guide surface close to the first connecting guide mechanism is arranged corresponding to the bottom of the V-shaped groove on the conveying roller, so that when the steel pipes are loaded one by one, the pushing plate is driven to rise by the third linear driving element, and since a blocking vertical surface is formed between the lower end of the upstream inclined guide surface and the high end of the downstream inclined guide surface, during the rising process, the pushing plate will lift up a steel pipe on the first connecting guide mechanism and slide through the inclined guide surface. It falls to the blocking surface, and then the third linear drive element drives the top feeding plate to descend. During the descending process, the steel pipe being pushed falls onto the conveying roller. After that, the steel pipe is transported into the sawing equipment through the conveying roller, and the cutting and output of one end of the steel pipe are completed. After that, the third linear drive element drives the top feeding plate to rise again, and the downstream inclined guide surface will lift the cut steel pipe on the conveying roller. During the continuous lifting process, the cut steel pipe is transported to the second connecting guide mechanism through the inclined guide surface. After that, the cutting of the other end of the steel pipe is completed according to the above process; in the process of transporting to the second connecting guide mechanism, the upstream inclined guide surface will transfer the next steel pipe to be cut to the conveying roller. According to the above process, the steel pipe is continuously fed and the end is cut. It has a simple structure and ingenious design, which lays the foundation for continuous feeding and end cutting of pipes one by one.

[0040] Since the first connecting guide mechanism and the second connecting guide mechanism both include brackets, an inclined guide rod is provided on the top of the bracket, the lower end of the guide rod is arranged close to the second frame, and the lower end of the bracket is provided with a stop block protruding in the height direction; the top delivery plate close to the first connecting guide mechanism protrudes from the side of the second frame, and in the width direction of the second frame, the lower end of the first connecting guide mechanism overlaps with the protruding end of the top delivery plate, so that the steel pipe is guided toward the second frame by the inclined guide rod, and the steel pipe is blocked by the stop block. The protruding setting of the top delivery plate and the overlapping setting of the lower end of the first connecting guide mechanism and the protruding end of the top delivery plate facilitate the steel pipe to slide to the overlapping position, thereby providing a guarantee for the effective loading of pipes one by one.

[0041] Since the roller conveying mechanism includes a belt transmission mechanism that drives all conveying rollers, the conveying rollers and the top feeding plate are arranged in the longitudinal direction of the second body; a support plate is installed on the second frame on both sides of each conveying roller; a first detection switch protruding toward the bracket is installed on the side of the second frame; a plurality of second detection switches are also installed on the second frame, and the second detection switch is arranged on one side of the conveying roller and corresponds to the bottom of the V-groove on the conveying roller, so that the conveying roller is driven to rotate through the belt transmission mechanism, and then the input and output of the steel pipe into the sawing equipment are completed, and the steel pipe is detected on the first connecting guide mechanism, the second connecting guide mechanism and the conveying roller by the first detection switch and the second detection switch to ensure accurate loading of the steel pipe; the conveyed steel pipe is auxiliary supported by the support plate to prevent the steel pipe from slipping from the conveying roller.

[0042] Since the sawing equipment includes a circular saw machine, the circular saw machine is provided with a positioning, clamping and removing mechanism and a guide mechanism, so that during the transportation of the conveyor roller, the conveyed pipe is accurately guided to the saw blade position through the guide mechanism, and the positioning, clamping and removing mechanism is used to position the pipe before sawing and remove the end of the steel pipe after sawing, laying the foundation for subsequent normal work.

[0043] Since the positioning, clamping and removing mechanism includes a positioning block arranged on the circular saw machine and corresponding to the saw blade, a pressure block driven by a first driving element and provided with a clamping inclined surface is slidably installed on the positioning block, and a saw blade groove is provided on the pressure block and the positioning block; a support frame is provided on the circular saw machine on one side of the positioning block, and a slide table sliding toward the positioning block is provided on the support frame, and a pusher claw driven by a second driving element is slidably installed on the slide, so that when the steel pipe is transported to the appropriate length in the circular saw machine, the steel pipe is clamped by the cooperation of the positioning block and the pressure block, and then the saw blade performs the cutting work, and then the cut pipe end is removed by the cooperation of the slide table and the pusher claw, the structure is simple, and the positioning of the steel pipe and the removal effect of the pipe end after sawing are good.

[0044] Since the guide mechanism includes multiple rollers located upstream of the saw blade, guide plates are provided on both sides of the rollers, and the feed ends of the two guide plates are provided with inclined guide bevels, during the conveying process of the conveyor rollers, the pipes are guided into the circular saw machine by the guide bevels and the guide plates. The structure is simple and the guiding effect is good. The pipes entering the circular saw machine are rolled by the rollers, which helps to reduce friction, improve conveying smoothness and reduce wear on the pipes. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
