[0023] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In this description, it should be understood that the terms "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0024] Example:
[0025] Copper tube cutting equipment, such as Figs. 1-2 As shown, the system includes a frame 1, on which a conveying device 2 is installed for transporting the segmented copper tubes. The conveying device 2 ensures that the processed copper tubes are transported in an orderly manner, reducing the occurrence of disorderly accumulation during copper tube processing. A guide device 3 is installed on one side of the conveying device 2 for removing the copper tubes from the conveying device 2. The guide device 3 enables the copper tubes to be unloaded. A copper tube collecting device 4 is installed on the side of the guide device 3 away from the conveying device 2. The copper tube collecting device 4 buffers the falling speed of the copper tubes, reducing the occurrence of direct contact between the copper tubes and the contact surface during the unloading process, thus protecting the copper tubes. The copper tube collecting device 4 also enables the orderly collection of unloaded copper tubes.
[0026] The horizontal height of the conveying device 2 is higher than that of the copper pipe collecting device 4. The guiding device 3 is inclined along the height difference between the conveying device 2 and the copper pipe collecting device 4. Thus, when the guiding device 3 forms a slope, the height difference generates gravitational potential energy, which facilitates the movement of the copper pipe from the conveying device 2 into the copper pipe collecting device 4.
[0027] The material guiding device 3 includes an inclined contact component for contacting the copper tube and a first driving component 5 for driving the inclined contact component. The first driving component 5 is a cylinder, which has the characteristics of high control precision, so as to better provide a stable driving force for the inclined contact component. The first driving component 5 is fixedly set on the frame 1, thereby ensuring that the overall position of the material guiding device 3 is fixed.
[0028] The inclined abutment assembly includes a fixed inclined plate 6 fixedly mounted on the frame 1 and a movable inclined plate 7 connected to the first driving member 5. The first driving member 5 pushes the movable inclined plate 7 to move closer to the copper pipe, so that the movable inclined plate 7 forms a ramp connecting the conveying device 2 and the copper pipe collecting device 4, which facilitates the copper pipe to be unloaded through the inclined abutment assembly. The end of the movable inclined plate 7 that abuts against the copper pipe is provided with a rounded corner structure, which reduces the collision that occurs when the movable inclined plate 7 abuts against the copper pipe and protects the copper pipe.
[0029] The inclined abutment components are provided in several ways, and the distance between each pair is less than the length of the copper tube. Thus, multiple inclined abutment components can simultaneously form multiple slopes to process multiple copper tubes on the annular conveyor chain 14, thereby improving work efficiency.
[0030] The copper tube collecting device 4 includes a support belt 8 and a winding assembly for winding the support belt 8. Several support belts 8 are provided, each corresponding to a material guiding device 3, so that the copper tubes fed from the inclined abutment assembly can stably contact the support belts 8, achieving a lifting effect through the support belts 8. At the same time, the end of the support belt 8 away from the winding assembly is fixedly connected to the frame 1, thereby ensuring that the position of the support belt 8 is fixed. The frame 1 is provided with a hollow part 10, and the part of the support belt 8 that contacts the copper tube is located on the hollow part 10. The hollow part 10 provides space for the placement of the copper tubes and makes the copper tubes suspended. Therefore, when the support belt 8 has collected a suitable number of tubes, it is convenient for workers to tie them in the final step of the feeding process, because the copper tubes are suspended in the air, making it easier for workers to wrap the rope around the copper tubes for tying and also making it easier to remove the entire bundle of copper tubes.
[0031] Meanwhile, a lifting member 11 is fixedly installed on the frame 1 to reduce friction between the support belt 8 and the surface of the frame 1. The lifting member 11 raises the height of the support belt 8, creating a gap between the support belt 8 and the frame 1, reducing the contact between the support belt 8 and the frame 1, thereby reducing the friction between the support belt 8 and the surface of the frame 1. At the same time, the contact surface between the lifting member 11 and the support belt 8 is set as an arc-shaped structure, which reduces the contact area between the support belt 8 and the lifting member 11, further enhancing the protection of the support belt 8.
[0032] The winding assembly includes a second drive member 12 and a rotating member 13 that is connected to the second drive member 12 in a transmission manner. The second drive member 12 can drive the rotating member 13 to rotate. The support belt 8 is connected to the rotating member 13, so the rotation of the rotating member 13 can achieve the winding and unwinding effect of the support belt 8.
[0033] The conveying device 2 includes a ring conveyor chain 14 and a transmission assembly for driving the ring conveyor chain 14. The processed copper tube is stably transported by placing it on the ring conveyor chain 14. Simultaneously, the frame 1 is provided with a guide groove 15 corresponding to the position of the ring conveyor chain 14. The guide groove 15 provides movement space for the ring conveyor chain 14 and also restricts the position of the copper tube, preventing it from falling off the ring conveyor chain 14 and ensuring transport stability. Furthermore, the guide groove 15 has two sides, one higher and one lower. The lower side of the guide groove 15 is located on the side of the ring conveyor chain 14 closest to the material guiding device 3. Therefore, when the movable inclined plate 7 contacts the copper tube, the movable inclined plate 7 passes over the lower side of the guide groove 15, thus preventing the guide groove 15 from obstructing the movement of the movable inclined plate 7. At the same time, the higher side of the guide groove 15 restricts the position of the copper tube, preventing the movable inclined plate 7 from pushing the copper tube down from the other side of the ring conveyor chain 14 when it contacts the copper tube, thereby ensuring the connection stability between the movable inclined plate 7 and the copper tube.
[0034] The transmission assembly includes a gear 16 that meshes with the annular conveyor chain 14 and a third drive member 9 that drives the gear 16 to rotate. The gear 16 is rotatably mounted on the frame 1. The third drive member 9 drives the gear 16 to rotate, thereby enabling the annular conveyor chain 14 to be driven. Both the third drive member 9 and the second drive member 12 are servo motors. The servo motors can control the speed and have very accurate positioning, thus providing a good driving effect for the third drive member 9 and the second drive member 12, ensuring that the copper tube can be moved to the appropriate position.
[0035] Working principle: The copper tubes cut in sequence are transported to the corresponding movable inclined plate 7 by the annular conveyor chain 14. Then, the movable inclined plate 7 is driven by the first driving component 5 to move closer to the copper tube, so that the movable inclined plate 7 abuts against the copper tube and pushes the copper tube upward to a certain height, so that the copper tube moves onto the movable inclined plate 7. Then, it rolls down the slope formed by the movable inclined plate 7 and the fixed inclined plate 6, and is supported by the support belt 8. Then, the first driving component 5 drives the movable inclined plate 7 to move backward, so that the annular conveyor chain 14 continues to transport new copper tubes. The above operation is repeated. After the support belt 8 accumulates a suitable number of copper tubes, the workers then perform the binding process.
[0036] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from its spirit or essential characteristics.
