DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein the accompanying drawings constitute a part of this application and are used together with the embodiments of the present invention to illustrate the principles of the present invention, but are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0030] See also Figures 1 to 3 In this embodiment, an automobile pipe processing and storage system includes: a frame 100, and a pipe inlet traction assembly 200, a reversing assembly 300, and a pipe outlet traction assembly 400 disposed on the frame 100 and for pipes 500 to pass through in sequence;

[0031] The frame 100 includes three groups of horizontal beams 110 that are arranged in sequence and spaced apart in the vertical direction. The horizontal beams 110 are arranged in pairs. The horizontal beams 110 carry various components to assist the operation of each component.

[0032] The pipe inlet traction assembly 200 includes a plurality of guide trolleys 210, which are slidably connected to the horizontal beam 110 located above. The guide trolleys 210 can move freely along the horizontal beam 110, and the guide trolleys 210 are connected by equidistant traction ropes 220. The guide trolleys 210 are provided with guide members 211 for guiding the pipes 500. The maximum spacing distance between the guide trolleys 210 does not exceed the length of the traction rope 220. Within this range, the pipes 500 can cross the spacing distance by virtue of their own strength, and will not bend under gravity, interfere with the frame 100, and cause deformation and damage to the pipes 500.

[0033] The reversing assembly 300 includes a reversing member 310 for passing the pipe 500 and a moving unit 320. The moving unit 320 is slidably connected to the horizontal beam 110 located in the middle. The moving unit 320 is fixedly connected to the reversing member 310. The moving unit 320 can drive the reversing member 310 to move relatively along the horizontal beam 110. The reversing member 310 includes an input end 311 and an output end 312. The feeding directions of the input end 311 and the output end 312 are arranged opposite to each other. The pipe 500 passing through the reversing member 310 is changed in direction, and a double length of pipe storage is reserved, thereby increasing the overall pipe coiling length of the loading bracket. In the pipe inlet traction assembly 200, the guide trolley 210 near one end of the reversing member 310 is connected to the input end 311 through a connecting rope, and the guide trolley 210 at the other end is connected to the frame 100 through a traction rope 220. By pulling the reversing member 310 to change the position of the reversing member 310, the guide trolley 210 follows the movement of the reversing member 310, and the overall pipe winding length of the bracket can be changed as needed, while ensuring that the pipe 500 will not bend under gravity and interfere with the frame 100.

[0034] The pipe outlet traction assembly 400 includes a plurality of guide units 410 arranged along the horizontal beam 110 located below. The guide units 410 can guide the pipe 500 output from the output end 312 to move along the extension direction of the horizontal beam 110, position the output position of the pipe 500 on the loading bracket, and finally dock with the entrance of the production line.

[0035] During use, the moving unit 320 is pushed to drive the reversing member 310 to move, and the length of the pipe roll of the loading bracket can be manually controlled. The guide carts 210 are pulled forward one by one, and the distance between the guide carts 210 is always kept consistent, ensuring that the pipe 500 can resist the bending of gravity by its own strength.

[0036] See also Figure 2 , a track 230 is provided on the upper horizontal beam 110, and the track 230 extends along the length direction of the horizontal beam 110. The track 230 is specifically a groove embedded in the horizontal beam 110. The wheels of the guide trolley 210 are respectively connected to the tracks 230 on the two horizontal beams 110 arranged in pairs in a rolling manner. The grooves can limit the moving direction of the wheels, ensuring that the guide trolley 210 can only move along the length direction of the horizontal beam 110. In addition, the grooves on the two horizontal beams 110 arranged in pairs cooperate with the wheels of the guide trolley 210 at the same time, thereby enhancing the moving stability of the guide trolley 210.

[0037] As a further implementation method, the guide member 211 is connected to the top of the guide trolley 210 through a bracket, and the guide member 211 is a U-groove guide wheel. The U-groove guide wheel can not only carry the pipe 500, but also limit the left and right deviation of the pipe 500, so that the pipe 500 moves in a certain direction. Both ends of the guide trolley 210 are provided with connecting rings for connecting with the traction rope 220. The connection between the traction rope 220 and the connecting ring can be untied, so that the number of guide trolleys 210 can be controlled, and the length of the traction rope 220 can be changed, and adjustments and changes can be made according to the strength and reserved length of different pipes 500.

[0038] See also Figures 1 to 3 The reversing member 310 includes a reversing conduit 313 and a roller 314. The roller 314 is disposed inside the reversing conduit 313 and is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the reversing conduit 313. A plurality of rollers 314 are equidistantly disposed along the extending direction of the reversing conduit 313. The rollers 314 are in rolling connection with the pipe 500. When the pipe 500 passes through the reversing conduit 313, the outer wall of the pipe 500 contacts and rolls relatively with the roller 314, which can reduce the friction between the pipe 500 and the inner wall of the reversing conduit 313 and reduce the wear of the outer wall of the pipe 500.

[0039] See also Figure 1The mobile unit 320 includes a carrier 321 and a guide wheel group 322 located between two horizontal beams 110. At least two guide wheel groups 322 are arranged on the carrier 321. The guide wheel group 322 includes guide wheels arranged on the upper and lower sides of the horizontal beam 110. The two sides of the guide wheel abut against the horizontal beam 110 to limit the up and down movement of the carrier 321. Guide wheels are arranged on both sides at the same time, so that the carrier 321 can bear loads in both directions. The guide wheel groups 322 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the carrier 321, which can increase the force points of the carrier 321 and prevent the carrier 321 from tipping over.

[0040] See also Figure 2 A fixing unit 330 is provided between the middle horizontal beam 110 and the moving unit 320. The fixing unit 330 includes a positioning hole 331 and a fixing rod 332 provided on the horizontal beam 110. A plurality of positioning holes 331 are equidistantly arranged along the horizontal beam 110. The fixing rod 332 can be inserted from the corresponding positioning hole 331 as needed to connect with the carrier 321 to fix the carrier 321, thereby changing the length of the pipe 500 wound in the loading bracket.

[0041] See also Figure 1 The guide unit 410 includes a plurality of guide rollers 411, which are equidistantly arranged along the horizontal beam 110. The guide rollers 411 can carry the pipe 500 and send the pipe 500 out of the loading bracket according to a predetermined path and into the production line.

[0042] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The frame 100 further includes vertical columns 120 and connectors 130 arranged in pairs. The vertical columns 120 are arranged on both sides of the horizontal beams 110 arranged in pairs and are fixedly connected to the horizontal beams 110. The bottoms of the vertical columns 120 are fixedly connected to the ground. The vertical columns 120 arranged in pairs are connected by connectors 130. The connectors 130 are specifically integrated connecting plates. The arrangement of the vertical columns 120 and the connectors 130 can enhance the position accuracy and structural stability of the horizontal beams 110.

[0043] It should be particularly noted that the guide trolley 210 located at the end away from the reversing member 310 is connected to the vertical column 120 through a traction rope 220. The guide trolley 210 here serves as the starting point of the inlet pipe traction assembly 200. The position of the guide trolley 210 needs to be relatively fixed. The two ends of the guide trolley 210 are respectively connected to the vertical columns 120 located on both sides through the traction rope 220. The two ends of the traction rope 220 are set at the same height. After the traction rope 220 is straightened, it will not cause the guide trolley 210 to tip over and derail.

[0044] Workflow: First, gather all the guide carts 210 to the side of the frame 100 where the pipe is input, push the carrier 321 and the reversing member 310 to dock with the guide cart 210 at the end, and the pipe 500 passes through the guide member 211, the input end 311, the reversing conduit 313, the output end 312 and the guide roller 411 on the guide unit on the guide cart 210 in sequence. Then, fix the connection end of the pipe 500 and the production line, push the carrier 321 and the reversing member 310 away from the guide cart 210, and the traction ropes 220 between the guide carts 210 are straightened one by one until the carrier 321 reaches the predetermined position, and the carrier 321 is fixed to the horizontal beam 110 using the fixing rod 332.

[0045] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be covered by the present invention.
