[0034] In order to more clearly illustrate the embodiments of the present invention or the technical solutions in the prior art, the specific implementation methods of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the accompanying drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present invention. For ordinary technicians in this field, other drawings and other implementation methods can be obtained based on these drawings without creative work.

[0035] like Figure 1-6 As shown, the present invention provides a material receiving device for a radiator flared cooling tube, which can realize automatic staggered arrangement of the cooling tube 1. The material receiving device includes a frame 2 and a material receiving component 4, a horizontal pushing component 5 and a horizontal pushing component 3 arranged on the frame 2. The material receiving component 4 receives and stabilizes the cooling tube 1, so that the cooling tube 1 enters the horizontal pushing component 3, the horizontal pushing component 5 pushes the cooling tube 1 to the left or right, and then the horizontal pushing component 3 moves the cooling tube 1 after the position is adjusted backward. Repeating the above steps can realize automatic staggered arrangement and automatic material receiving of the cooling tube 1.

[0036] In the present invention, taking the moving direction of the cooling tube 1 on the blanking plate 302 as a reference, the feeding direction of the cooling tube 1 is the front, and the other direction opposite to it is the rear. The front or rear mentioned in the following description have the same meaning, and "left" and "right" are the two sides based on the moving direction of the cooling tube 1 on the blanking plate 302.

[0037] The horizontal push assembly 3 is the main structure, which is used to discharge the cooling tubes 1 arranged in a staggered manner. The horizontal push assembly 5 and the material receiving assembly 4 are both arranged on the horizontal push assembly 3. The horizontal push assembly 3 includes a horizontal push base plate 301, a material discharge plate 302 and a horizontal push mechanism, such as Figure 2-6 As shown, the horizontal pushing base plate 301 is fixedly connected to the frame 2, two blanking plates 302 are fixedly arranged above the horizontal pushing base plate 301, the horizontal pushing mechanism is arranged on the horizontal pushing base plate 301, and the horizontal pushing mechanism is located between the horizontal pushing base plate 301 and the blanking plate 302, the material receiving component 4 is located in front of the horizontal pushing base plate 301, and the horizontal pushing mechanism is connected to the material receiving component 4 to drive the material receiving component 4 to approach or move away from the blanking plate 302. More specifically, when the material receiving component 4 is away from the blanking plate 302, the material receiving component 4 is in a material receiving state, and when the material receiving component 4 is close to the blanking plate 302, the material receiving component 4 transfers the received cooling pipe 1 to the blanking plate 302, and the horizontal pushing component 5 is arranged on the left and right sides of the horizontal pushing base plate 301 to adjust the position of the cooling pipe 1 on the blanking plate 302 to the left or right, so that adjacent cooling pipes 1 are staggered.

[0038] Among them, the horizontal push mechanism is a structure with the function of pushing forward or pulling backward the material receiving component 4, and any structure that can realize the material receiving component 4 close to or away from the blanking plate 302 is acceptable. It is easy to understand that no matter what specific structure the horizontal push mechanism adopts, the connection between the material receiving component 4 and the horizontal push mechanism is adaptively changed. For example, the horizontal push mechanism is a screw mechanism, and the motor and the screw in the screw mechanism are arranged on the horizontal push base plate 301, and the screw nut is arranged in the material receiving component 4, thereby realizing the movement of the material receiving component 4. Alternatively, the horizontal push mechanism can also be a cylinder structure, and the piston rod of the cylinder is connected to the material receiving component 4. Preferably, the horizontal push mechanism of the present invention adopts a cylinder structure.

[0039] On the basis that the horizontal push mechanism is a cylinder structure, more preferably, the horizontal push mechanism of the present invention adopts a two-stage cylinder structure, specifically, as Figure 3-6 As shown, the push mechanism includes a material unloading push cylinder 303, a push base 304 and a material receiving push cylinder 305. The material unloading push cylinder 303 is arranged on the push base plate 301. The push base plate 301 is provided with a first guide rail in front of the material unloading push cylinder 303. The push base 304 is slidably arranged on the first guide rail, and the piston rod of the material unloading push cylinder 303 is connected to the push base 304. The material receiving push cylinder 305 is arranged on the push base 304. The material receiving component 4 is slidably connected to the push base 304, and the piston rod of the material receiving push cylinder 305 is connected to the material receiving component 4.

[0040] The material unloading push cylinder 303 drives the push base 304 and the material receiving component 4 to move forward and backward as a whole, and the material receiving push cylinder 305 drives the material receiving component 4 to move forward and backward. For example, when the material receiving component 4 receives the cooling pipe 1, the material receiving push cylinder 305 drives the material receiving component 4 to move to receive the material. When the material receiving component 4 is reset after receiving the material, the material unloading push cylinder 303 drives the material receiving component 4 to move backward close to the unloading plate 302, so that the cooling pipe 1 enters the unloading plate 302.

[0041] In the present invention, in order to adapt to the expanded cooling pipe 1, the material receiving assembly 4 includes a material receiving base 401, a first lifting mechanism and a material receiving mechanism. The material receiving base 401 is connected to the horizontal pushing mechanism. The first lifting mechanism is arranged upward on the front end side of the material receiving base 401. The material receiving mechanism is arranged above the first lifting mechanism and is driven to rise and fall by the first lifting mechanism.

[0042] The specific structure of the material receiving mechanism is as follows: Figure 3-6 As shown, the material receiving mechanism includes a material receiving substrate 402, a main baffle 404 and an auxiliary baffle 405. Specifically, the material receiving substrate 402 is provided with a main baffle 404 on the side facing the material discharging plate 302, and two auxiliary baffles 405 are respectively located at the left and right ends of the material receiving substrate 402, and the bottom of the auxiliary baffle 405 is fixedly connected to the material receiving substrate 402 through a connecting portion, and the auxiliary baffle 405 is located between the main baffle 404 and the material discharging plate 302. A storage space for accommodating the end of the cooling tube 1 is formed between the auxiliary baffle 405 and the main baffle 404. The bottom surface of the material receiving substrate 402 is also provided with a receiving portion 410 extending toward the material discharging plate 302, that is, the material receiving mechanism receives the cooling plate through the receiving space and the receiving portion 410. In order to improve the material receiving stability, there are two receiving portions 410, each close to the auxiliary baffle 405 on the same side.

[0043] It is easy to understand that when the push mechanism is a two-stage cylinder structure, a second guide rail is set on the upper surface of the push base 304, the material receiving base 401 is slidably connected to the second guide rail, and the material receiving base 401 is connected to the piston rod of the material receiving push cylinder 305.

[0044] In the present invention, the first lifting mechanism is an existing conventional lifting structure, and its function is to make the material receiving mechanism rise and fall in the vertical direction. Any structure that can achieve this function can be applicable to the present invention. Preferably, the first lifting structure is a first lifting cylinder 403, and the cylinder body of the first lifting cylinder 403 is fixedly connected to the side of the material receiving base 401, and the piston rod of the first lifting cylinder 403 is connected to the material receiving base plate 402 of the material receiving mechanism.

[0045] In order to determine that the cooling pipe 1 is in the material receiving mechanism, the receiving part 410 is provided with a first detection sensor 411. It is easy to understand that in order to prevent the cooling pipe 1 from hitting the first detection sensor 411, the first detection sensor 411 is located on one side of the receiving part 410, and the height of the first detection sensor 411 is lower than the height of the receiving part 410.

[0046] Corresponding to the receiving portion 410 of the material receiving mechanism, an avoidance position is set at the front end of the blanking plate 302. When the material receiving mechanism is close to the blanking plate 302, the receiving portion 410 enters the avoidance position of the blanking plate 302, and the front end of the blanking plate 302 is below the cooling pipe 1. When the material receiving mechanism is descending, the blanking plate 302 lifts up the cooling pipe 1 and separates it from the material receiving mechanism. After the material receiving mechanism descends to the limit position, it moves forward again, so that the cooling pipe 1 is separated from the material receiving mechanism and enters the blanking plate 302.

[0047] like Figure 4 As shown, the material receiving assembly 4 also includes a feeding mechanism at the front end of the material receiving mechanism, the feeding mechanism includes a material receiving box 406, a material receiving inclined plate 407 and a material receiving baffle 408, the material receiving box 406 is fixedly connected to the frame 2, and is located above the material receiving mechanism, the material receiving baffle 408 is arranged in the material receiving box 406 at an angle from top to bottom, and the bottom end of the material receiving inclined plate 407 faces the material receiving mechanism, the material receiving baffle 408 is fixed on the frame 2, and is located behind the bottom end side of the material receiving baffle 408, and a material unloading space is formed between the material receiving baffle 408 and the bottom end side of the material receiving inclined plate 407, allowing one cooling pipe 1 to pass through at the same time. It is easy to understand that the position of the unloading space corresponds to the material receiving station of the material receiving mechanism, and when the material receiving mechanism moves to the bottom of the unloading space, the cooling pipe 1 slides down from the height of the material receiving inclined plate 407, and falls into the material receiving mechanism after passing through the unloading space. The function of the material receiving box 406 is to collect the cooling tubes 1 dropped from the material receiving inclined plate 407 .

[0048] The material receiving baffle 408 is also provided with a material feeding detection sensor 409 for detecting whether a cooling pipe 1 passes through the material feeding space.

[0049] Furthermore, when the cooling pipe 1 enters the blanking plate 302, the horizontal push assembly 3 also includes a material blocking mechanism, which includes a material blocking base 308, a second lifting mechanism, a material blocking bracket 306 and a material blocking block 307. Figure 5-6As shown, the material blocking base 308 is arranged below the bottom surface of the front end of the horizontal push base plate 301, the second lifting mechanism is arranged upward on the side of the material blocking base 308, the material blocking bracket 306 is connected to the second lifting mechanism, and the material blocking bracket 306 is located on the left and right sides of the horizontal push base plate 301, and the material blocking block 307 is arranged at the top of the material blocking bracket 306, and the material blocking block 307 is located behind the material receiving mechanism. In the process of the cooling pipe 1 entering the blanking plate 302, when the receiving portion 410 of the material receiving mechanism enters the avoidance position of the blanking plate 302, the second lifting mechanism drives the material blocking bracket 306 to rise, and the cooling pipe 1 is restricted to the front end of the blanking plate 302, thereby realizing the positioning of the cooling pipe 1 at the front end of the blanking plate 302, which is convenient for the horizontal pushing component 5 to adjust the position of the cooling pipe 1.

[0050] The function of the blocking block 307 is not only to limit the cooling tube 1 to be adjusted at the front end of the blanking plate 302, but also to push the cooling tube 1 to be discharged. Therefore, the thickness of the blocking block 307 is less than or equal to the distance between two adjacent cooling tubes 1.

[0051] In the present invention, the second lifting mechanism is also an existing conventional lifting structure, and its function is to lift the material blocking block 307 in the vertical direction. As long as the structure can achieve this function, it can be applied to the present invention. Preferably, the second lifting structure is a second lifting cylinder 309, and the cylinder body of the second lifting cylinder 309 is fixedly connected to the side of the material blocking base 308, and the piston rod of the second lifting cylinder 309 is connected to the material blocking bracket 306.

[0052] The horizontal push assembly 5 is a key assembly for realizing the staggered placement of the cooling pipe 1 in the present invention. Specifically, the horizontal push assembly 5 includes two sets of horizontal push bases 501 and two sets of horizontal push mechanisms, such as Figure 6 As shown, two sets of horizontal push bases 501 are respectively fixedly arranged on the left and right sides of the horizontal push base plate 301, and the horizontal push mechanism is arranged on the horizontal push base 501. The horizontal push mechanism is provided with a horizontally movable clamping mechanism, and the clamping mechanisms of the two sets of horizontal push mechanisms are respectively located at the two ends of the cooling pipe 1. It should be noted that in order to facilitate the adjustment of the position of the cooling pipe 1, the clamping mechanism is located between the stop block 307 and the material receiving mechanism. When the cooling pipe 1 enters the unloading plate 302 and is blocked and positioned by the stop block 307, the clamping mechanism contacts the two ends of the cooling pipe 1 to clamp the cooling pipe 1, and then drives the cooling pipe 1 to move to the left or right. After the position adjustment of the cooling pipe 1 is completed, the clamping mechanism is away from the end of the cooling pipe 1.

[0053] In the present invention, the horizontal push mechanism is an existing conventional push structure, and its function is to drive the clamping mechanism to approach or move away from the cooling pipe 1. Any structure that can achieve this function can be applicable to the present invention. For example, the horizontal push mechanism can be a screw structure or a cylinder structure. Preferably, the horizontal push mechanism of the present invention is a horizontal push cylinder 502, such as Figure 6As shown, the transverse push cylinder 502 is horizontally arranged on the transverse push base 501. More preferably, in order to save space, the cylinder body of the transverse push cylinder 502 is close to the horizontal push base plate 301, and the transverse push base 501 is provided with a third guide rail in front of the transverse push cylinder 502. The clamping mechanism is slidably connected to the third guide rail, and the clamping mechanism is connected to the piston rod of the transverse push mechanism. When the piston rod of the transverse push mechanism is extended, the clamping mechanism is away from the end of the cooling pipe 1, and when the piston rod of the transverse push mechanism is retracted, the clamping mechanism is close to the end of the cooling pipe 1.

[0054] A second detection sensor 505 is provided in the clamping mechanism, more specifically, as Figure 6 As shown, the clamping mechanism includes a connecting frame 503 and a clamping member 504. The connecting frame 503 is vertically arranged with the horizontal thrust cylinder 502. One end of the connecting frame 503 is slidably connected with the third guide rail, and the connecting frame 503 is connected with the piston rod of the horizontal thrust cylinder 502. The clamping member 504 is arranged at the other end of the connecting frame 503. The second detection sensor 505 is at the top or bottom end of the clamping frame, and is used to detect whether the clamping member 504 is in contact with the end of the cooling pipe 1.

[0055] A PLC control module 6 is also provided at the rack 2, and a switch 7 button is provided on the side of the rack 2. As shown in the figure, the PLC control module 6 is located at the rear end of the rack 2. The electrical components in the present invention are all connected to the PLC control module 6 and controlled by the PLC control module 6.

[0056] The present invention also provides a method for connecting the radiator expansion cooling tubes, wherein the cooling tubes 1 are arranged in a staggered order, and the staggered cooling tubes 1 are cut and packed, and the steps are as follows:

[0057] After the cooling tube 1 enters the material receiving mechanism, the horizontal push mechanism moves the material receiving mechanism toward the lower material plate 302, and the material receiving mechanism transfers the cooling tube 1 to the front end of the lower material plate 302. Then, the material receiving mechanism descends to make the cooling tube 1 stay at the front end of the lower material plate 302, and the horizontal push mechanism drives the material receiving mechanism to move forward and reset, waiting for the next material receiving;

[0058] Then, the horizontal push mechanisms on both sides drive the clamping mechanisms to approach and clamp the cooling pipe 1, and then the horizontal push mechanisms on both sides drive the clamping mechanisms to move in the same direction, so that the cooling pipe 1 moves left or right. After the position adjustment is completed, the clamping mechanisms leave the cooling pipe 1 and reset.

[0059] Then the receiving mechanism receives the material and transfers the cooling tube 1 to the front end of the blanking plate 302 again, and the new cooling tube 1 pushes the previous cooling tube 1 backward, and then the horizontal pushing mechanisms on both sides clamp the new cooling tube 1 again and move it in the opposite direction to the previous cooling tube 1;

[0060] Repeat the above steps, and multiple cooling tubes 1 are placed on the blanking plate 302 in a staggered manner and are moved along the blanking plate 302 for blanking.

[0061] The above is the basic principle and process of the use method of the material receiving device of the present invention. The material receiving method of the present invention is described in detail below in combination with the specific structure of the material receiving device. The specific steps are as follows:

[0062] S1. The horizontal push mechanism drives the material receiving mechanism to extend forward, so that the material receiving mechanism is directly below the material unloading space. Specifically, the horizontal push mechanism is a two-stage cylinder structure, and the material receiving horizontal push cylinder 305 pushes the material receiving mechanism outward to directly below the material unloading space;

[0063] S2, the cooling pipe 1 enters the feeding mechanism, slides along the receiving inclined plate 407 into the material discharge space, and vertically falls into the accommodating space of the receiving mechanism. At this time, both ends of the cooling pipe 1 are between the main baffle 404 and the auxiliary baffle 405 of the receiving mechanism. The cooling pipe 1 is supported and lifted by the receiving portion 410 of the receiving mechanism. The first detection sensor 411 detects the cooling pipe 1, and then the receiving horizontal push cylinder 305 makes the receiving mechanism move toward the lower material plate 302.

[0064] S3, when the receiving portion 410 enters the avoidance position at the front end of the blanking plate 302, the blocking block 307 of the blocking mechanism rises to limit the cooling pipe 1 at the front end of the blanking plate 302 to prevent the cooling pipe 1 from falling sideways during the position adjustment process, and the receiving mechanism descends to make the cooling pipe 1 stay at the front end of the blanking plate 302, and then the receiving push cylinder 305 drives the receiving mechanism to reset and leave the blanking plate 302 to wait for the next receiving of materials;

[0065] S4, the horizontal pushing mechanisms at the left and right ends of the cooling pipe 1 drive the clamping mechanism to clamp the cooling pipe 1, and then the horizontal pushing mechanisms on both sides drive the clamping mechanism to drive the cooling pipe 1 to move left or right as a whole. After moving into place, the horizontal pushing mechanisms on both sides drive the clamping mechanism to move away from the cooling pipe 1;

[0066] After steps S1-S4, the position adjustment of a cooling tube 1 is completed. The process of the first cooling tube 1 entering the material feeding is described below. The steps for staggered arrangement of multiple cooling tubes 1 are as follows:

[0067] S5, repeat steps S1 and S2 to allow the next cooling tube 1 to enter the material receiving mechanism;

[0068] S6, the blocking block 307 of the blocking mechanism moves down to avoid, and when the receiving portion 410 enters the avoidance position at the front end of the blanking plate 302, the cooling pipe 1 to be adjusted enters the front end of the blanking plate 302, and the cooling pipe 1 that has completed position adjustment is pushed backward along the blanking plate 302;

[0069] S7, when the new cooling pipe 1 completely enters the front end of the blanking plate 302, the material blocking block 307 of the material blocking mechanism rises again to limit the cooling pipe 1 at the front end of the blanking plate 302, and the material receiving horizontal push cylinder 305 drives the material receiving mechanism to reset and leave the blanking plate 302 to wait for the next material receiving;

[0070] S8, the horizontal pushing mechanisms located at the left and right ends of the cooling tube 1 drive the clamping mechanism to clamp the cooling tube 1, and then the horizontal pushing mechanisms on both sides drive the clamping mechanism to drive the cooling tube 1 to move left or right as a whole, and the moving direction is opposite to the moving direction of the previous cooling tube 1, thereby realizing the staggered placement of the cooling tube 1. After moving into place, the horizontal pushing mechanisms on both sides drive the clamping mechanism to move away from the cooling tube 1;

[0071] S9, the material unloading horizontal push cylinder 303 then moves the horizontal push base 304 backward as a whole. During the backward movement of the horizontal push base 304, the material blocking block 307 of the material blocking mechanism remains in a raised state, pushing the previous cooling tube 1 backward along the unloading plate 302, forming a space between the front and rear cooling tubes 1 that matches the size of the cooling tube 1;

[0072] S10, after the horizontal push base 304 moves backward to the right position, the material unloading horizontal push cylinder 303 moves the horizontal push base 304 forward again to reset, waiting for the next material receiving and position adjustment. During the process of the horizontal push base 304 moving forward and resetting, the material blocking block 307 of the material blocking mechanism descends and resets.

[0073] Through steps S5-S10, the positions of the front and rear cooling tubes 1 on the blanking plate 302 are adjusted, staggered and placed, and blanked in sequence.

[0074] It should be noted that in steps S9 and S10, the material receiving mechanism also moves with the push base 304. Therefore, in steps S9-S10, the material receiving mechanism cannot receive the material. In S10, after the push base 304 moves forward and resets, the material receiving push cylinder 305 pushes the material receiving mechanism outward to the bottom of the material unloading space, and only then does the material receiving mechanism rise to wait for the material to be received.

[0075] By repeating the above steps in a cycle, multiple cooling tubes 1 can be placed in a staggered manner on the blanking plate 302 and automatically and orderly blanked, thereby improving the efficiency of arranging and placing the cooling tubes 1 and reducing labor costs.

[0076] Furthermore, in order to prevent the cooling tube 1 from falling sideways during the unloading process, a chute can be provided on the upper surface of the unloading plate 302 along the length direction, and a unloading baffle that can move along the chute is embedded in the chute. When the multiple cooling tubes 1 move backward along the unloading plate 302, the unloading baffle always keeps in contact with the cooling tube 1 on the outside to prevent it from falling sideways. After unloading is completed, the unloading baffle can be moved forward and reset.

[0077] Furthermore, the movement of the unloading baffle can also be automated through the connection of a gear chain. Specifically, a unloading drive motor is arranged below the bottom surface of the front end or rear end of the unloading plate 302, and a driving gear is arranged at the transmission shaft of the unloading drive motor. A driven gear is arranged below the bottom surface of the other end of the unloading plate 302. A transmission connection is realized between the driving gear and the driven gear through a chain. The upper part of the chain is in the slide groove, and the bottom end of the unloading baffle is fixedly connected to the chain. The transmission shaft of the unloading drive motor rotates, thereby driving the unloading baffle to move along the slide groove. During the unloading process, the unloading baffle continuously and automatically moves backwards, keeping pace with the movement of the cooling pipe 1. After the cooling pipe 1 on the unloading plate 302 is removed and packed, the unloading baffle automatically moves to the rear of the nearest cooling pipe 1. It is easy to understand that a third detection sensor can also be arranged at the unloading baffle to detect the existence of the cooling pipe 1 to ensure that the unloading baffle is always close to the nearest cooling pipe 1 during the unloading process.
