Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of steel pipe transfer technology, specifically to an automatic multi-layer steel pipe arranging device and method. Background Technology
[0002] From the moment steel pipes arrive at the workshop for processing, they undergo a series of processes including unloading, storage and unpacking, pipe laying, and loading onto the conveyor line. In the pipe laying process, there are currently two methods for multi-layer pipe laying, such as... Figure 3 As shown, one type of multi-layer pipe bank has a spacer between two layers of steel pipes, while the other type has two layers of steel pipes in direct contact. The specific operation process is as follows:
[0003] The process of arranging multi-layer pipes involves placing the steel pipes to be arranged into a pipe rack. Workers stand on the rack and manually move each pipe one by one to the designated position. If the pipe is not in place the first time, it needs to be moved multiple times. After the first layer of pipes is placed, workers lift the support bars from their storage positions and place them one by one onto the first layer of pipes. This process is repeated until the first layer of pipes is completed. Then, the second layer of pipes is placed. After the second layer of pipes is placed, support bars are placed on the second layer of pipes. This process is repeated until the multi-layer pipe arrangement is complete. During this process, the rolling of the pipes can easily cause safety accidents. Moreover, the manual arrangement of pipes is labor-intensive, especially in winter and summer.
[0004] The process of laying out multi-layer pipe racks involves placing the steel pipes to be arranged into a rack on a material stand. Workers stand on the rack and manually move each pipe one by one to the designated position. If the pipe is not in place the first time, it needs to be moved multiple times. After the first layer of steel pipes is laid out, the second layer is laid out, and so on, until the entire arrangement is completed. During this process, the rolling of the steel pipes can easily cause safety accidents. Moreover, manual pipe laying is labor-intensive, especially in winter and summer.
[0005] Secondly, during the process of arranging steel pipes, it is also necessary to perform pipe feeding and random pipe picking. Although the pipe feeding and conveying has been mechanized, there are still situations where the steel pipes are far from the work position and cannot be fed continuously. Manual assistance is still required for secondary pipe feeding. When picking pipes, workers need to find the picked steel pipes and lift them to the end of the material rack. Then, they need to use a pipe grabbing machine or a transport line to transport them to the appropriate position. The work intensity is high and there are safety hazards.
[0006] To reduce the safety hazards in the above-mentioned operation process, we propose an automatic multi-layer steel pipe arranging device and method. Summary of the Invention

[0036] The trolley 1 adopts a mobile four-column gantry structure, which can move between different pipe stacking racks. The upper end of the trolley 1 is equipped with a slide rail.
[0037] Both the pipe-pulling trolley 2 and the pipe-laying trolley 4 are mobile. The lower ends of the pipe-pulling trolley 2 and the pipe-laying trolley 4 are equipped with guide wheels that cooperate with the slide rails, which facilitates installation on the swing pipe trolley 1 and movement.
[0038] The gripping device I5 is used to place and remove pad bar I11 and pad bar II14.
[0039] The gripping device II13 is used to place and grip the steel pipe 10.
[0040] A pipe arrangement method for an automatic multi-layer steel pipe arranging device, applicable to the automatic multi-layer steel pipe arranging device, includes the following method:
[0041] A. Multi-layer pipe bank I
[0042] a1. The steel pipe rolls down from the lowering device onto the pipe stack. The pipe swaying trolley 1 moves to the appropriate position of the pipe stack that needs to be swayed, and the pipe-pulling trolley 2 moves to the appropriate position of the steel pipe that needs to be pulled. The pipe-pulling device 3 moves the steel pipe to the designated position. If it lands at the designated position, the pipe-pulling device 3 does not need to be activated.
[0043] a2. After the first layer of steel pipes is placed, the gripping device I5 moves the pad I11 from the position where the pad I11 is placed to the appropriate position of the first layer of steel pipes, and repeats the placement until the placement is completed;
[0044] B. Multi-layer pipe bank II
[0045] b1. The steel pipe rolls down from the lowering device onto the pipe stack. The pipe swinging trolley 1 moves to the appropriate position of the pipe stack that needs to be swinged, and the pipe lifting trolley 2 moves to the appropriate position of the steel pipe that needs to be lifted. The pipe lifting device 3 moves the steel pipe to the designated position. If it lands at the designated position, the pipe lifting device 3 does not need to be activated.
[0046] b2. After the first layer of steel pipes is placed, the gripping device I5 moves the pad II14 from the position where the pad II14 is placed to the appropriate position of the first layer of steel pipes, and repeats the placement until the placement is completed.
[0047] b3. Repeat action b1. After the second layer of steel pipes is placed, gripping device II13 moves all the steel pipes on the first pad bar II14 near the discharge rack 8 to a suitable position near the discharge rack 8. Gripping device I5 moves pad bar II14 to the storage position. Repeat this action until all pad bars II14 on the first layer of steel pipes are removed.
[0048] The specific implementation method of this embodiment is as follows:
[0049] When performing the multi-layer pipe stack arrangement method, the steel pipes are rolled from the dropping device onto the pipe stack. If the drop does not reach the designated position, the pipe trolley 1 moves to the appropriate position of the pipe stack that needs to be piped, the pipe-pulling trolley 2 moves to the appropriate position of the steel pipe that needs to be pulled, and the pipe-pulling device 3 moves the steel pipe to the designated position. If the drop reaches the designated position, the pipe-pulling device does not need to be activated. After the first layer of steel pipes is placed, the gripping device I5 moves the pad bar I11 from the position of the pad bar I11 to the appropriate position of the first layer of steel pipes. The placement is repeated until the placement is completed. This device realizes the pipe stack arrangement of the multi-layer pipe stack through the above actions.
[0050] When performing the multi-layer pipe stack II arrangement, the steel pipes are rolled from the dropping device onto the pipe stack. If they do not land in the designated position, the pipe trolley 1 moves to the appropriate position of the pipe stack that needs to be arranged, the pipe-pulling trolley 2 moves to the appropriate position of the steel pipe that needs to be pulled, and the pipe-pulling device 3 moves the steel pipe to the designated position. If the steel pipes land in the designated position, the pipe-pulling device does not need to be activated. After the first layer of steel pipes is arranged, the gripping device I5 moves the pad bar II14 from the position of the pad bar II16 to the appropriate position of the first layer of steel pipes. This arrangement is repeated until the arrangement is completed. After the second layer of steel pipes is arranged, the gripping device II13 moves all the steel pipes on the first pad bar II14 near the discharge rack 8 to the appropriate position near the discharge rack 8. The gripping device I5 moves the pad bar II14 to the position of the storage pad bar. This action is repeated until all the pad bars II14 on the first layer of steel pipes are removed. The above actions of the device realize the arrangement of the multi-layer pipe stack II.
[0051] When it is necessary to transport steel pipes to the required location, the pipe trolley 1 moves to the pipe stack on which the steel pipes need to be transported, the pipe trolley 4 moves to the appropriate position, the pipe insertion device 3 first inserts and pulls the steel pipes from the multi-layer pipe stack to a single-layer pipe stack, and then the pipe insertion device 6 inserts and pulls the steel pipes to roll onto the discharge rack 8. The turning mechanism 7 moves the steel pipes to the rollers of the conveyor line 9, and the steel pipes are transferred to the required location along with the conveyor line 9. This action is repeated until the steel pipes that need to be transferred are transferred.
[0052] In special circumstances where it is necessary to pick out the pipe, the gripping device II13 can pick out the steel pipe and then transport it to the required location using a pipe gripping machine or a transport line.
