Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of pipe processing, and in particular relates to a round pipe taking device. Background Art
[0002] In the processing of round tubes, after the cutting operation is completed, how to efficiently and accurately remove the round tubes from the processing area and send them to the designated storage area is an important link that cannot be ignored in the automated production line. However, the existing material removal equipment generally faces a key problem in actual operation, that is, the offset of the axis of the round tube.
[0003] Since round pipes usually cannot maintain a stable placement after cutting, they are prone to axis deviation in the processing area. This axis deviation may be caused by multiple factors, such as vibrations generated during the cutting process, the weight of the workpiece itself, and the unevenness of the processing platform. When the axis of the round pipe deviates from the operating axis of the material reclaiming device, the existing material reclaiming equipment may encounter the following problems when performing the material reclaiming action:
[0004] Due to the axis offset, it is difficult for the picking equipment to accurately align with the center axis of the round pipe, which makes it difficult for the picking arm or clamp to smoothly insert or grab the round pipe, resulting in failure of the picking operation or damage to the round pipe.
[0005] When the reclaiming equipment forcibly reclaims the round pipe with an offset axis, the friction between the reclaiming arm and the round pipe increases, which may cause rapid wear of the reclaiming equipment and shorten the service life of the equipment.
[0006] In view of the above-mentioned axis deviation problem, some solutions have been proposed in the prior art, such as correcting the axis of the round pipe by adding a guide device. However, these devices are usually complex in structure, high in cost, and still have certain limitations in practical applications. Therefore, it is still necessary to develop an efficient material taking device that can effectively solve the problem of axis deviation of round pipes, so as to improve the accuracy and stability of the material taking operation, reduce the wear of the equipment, and improve the overall production efficiency.

[0088] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0089] See also Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the specific embodiments provided by the present invention are as follows:
[0090] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, the first embodiment of the present invention provides a round pipe material taking device, comprising:
[0091] A frame 1 having a material area and a work surface 101;
[0092] The work surface 101 is provided with:
[0093] The first material taking module 2;
[0094] The second material taking module 3;
[0095] A control unit, electrically connected to the first material taking module 2, the second material taking module 3 and the cutting machine tool main control unit;
[0096] The main control unit of the cutting machine tool transmits the cutting length information of the current round tube to the control unit, and the control unit starts the first material taking module 2 or the second material taking module 3 based on the cutting length information to send the round tube to the material area;
[0097] And, when the cutting length is A, the first material taking module 2 is started;
[0098] And, when the cutting length is B, the second material taking module 3 is started;
[0099] And, A is greater than B;
[0100] Wherein, the second material taking module 3 has a material taking arm 301 and a guide arm 302;
[0101] The guide arm 302 extends to the processing area of the cutting machine, and corrects the axis L1 of the round tube to be coaxial with the axis L2 of the material taking arm 301;
[0102] The material taking arm 301 extends to the processing area of the cutting machine tool so as to be inserted into the inside of the round pipe.
[0103] In this embodiment, the round tube material taking device is provided with two independent material taking modules for round tubes of different lengths to meet the material taking requirements of the cut round tubes at different positions.
[0104] The rack 1 is provided with a material area and a work surface 101, the work surface 101 is used to install and support the material taking module, and provides a stable platform for the transmission and processing of round tubes. The material area is used to receive the round tubes taken out from the processing area and store or transmit them to the next process in an orderly manner.
[0105] The first material taking module 2 is specially used to process round tubes with a cutting length of A (A is the longer dimension). Since the round tubes with a longer length can cross to the working table 101 of the material taking device, the first material taking module 2 can directly take the material from the table without entering the processing area of the cutting machine. When the control unit receives the cutting length information of A, it starts the first material taking module 2 to ensure that the round tubes can be smoothly taken out from the processing area and sent to the material area.
[0106] The second material taking module 3 is used to process round tubes with a cutting length of B (B is a shorter size). Since the short-sized round tubes cannot cross to the worktable 101, but stay in the processing area of the cutting machine, the second material taking module 3 needs to actively enter the processing area to take materials. In this case, the axis of the round tube in the processing area may deviate from the axis of the material taking arm 301 of the second material taking module 3 due to vibration during the cutting process, the influence of its own weight or the inequality of the machine tool. To solve this problem, the second material taking module 3 is specially equipped with a guide arm 302.
[0107] The guide arm 302 is designed to be able to extend to the processing area of the cutting machine. Its main function is to contact the round tube on both sides of the round tube and correct the axis L1 of the round tube by applying a slight force so that it remains coaxial with the axis L2 of the material picking arm 301. This correction process ensures the smooth progress of the material picking operation. Even if the axis of the round tube is offset, it can be guided to the correct position through the action of the guide arm 302.
[0108] The material picking arm 301 also extends to the processing area of the cutting machine and is designed to be able to penetrate the inside of the round pipe. With the assistance of the guide arm 302, the material picking arm 301 can be smoothly inserted into the inner wall of the round pipe to ensure the stability and accuracy of the material picking operation. This design effectively solves the material picking difficulties caused by axis deviation and avoids equipment wear or material picking failure caused by misalignment between the material picking arm 301 and the round pipe.
[0109] The control unit is connected to the first material taking module 2, the second material taking module 3 and the main control unit of the cutting machine tool by means of electric control. When the cutting machine tool completes the cutting operation of the round tube, it transmits the cutting length information of the current round tube to the control unit. The control unit automatically determines the material taking module to be started according to the received length information, thereby realizing accurate material taking of round tubes of different lengths, avoiding material taking errors or confusion caused by length differences.
[0110] Through the above design, the round tube material taking device of this embodiment not only realizes the function of intelligently selecting the material taking module according to the length of the round tube, but also effectively solves the problem of axis deviation of short-sized round tubes in the processing area through the introduction of the guide arm 302. This device can stably and efficiently complete the material taking operation of round tubes in different scenarios, greatly improves the automation level and work efficiency of the production line, and is suitable for the processing of round tubes of various specifications.
[0111] In a specific embodiment, the material taking arm 301 is a hollow tube structure and is made of carbon fiber.
[0112] In one specific implementation, the guide arm 302 is a sheet or plate structure and is made of carbon fiber.
[0113] The second embodiment of the present invention provides a round pipe picking device, and based on the first embodiment, the guide arm 302 is hinged to the picking arm 301;
[0114] Furthermore, the guide arm 302 has a guiding state and a storage state;
[0115] Wherein, the guiding state is configured as follows: the guiding arm 302 is deployed on the circumferential wall surface of the material taking arm 301, and the opening angle is toward the round tube;
[0116] Wherein, the axis L3 of the guide arm 302 and the axis L2 of the material taking arm 301 have a set angle a;
[0117] Wherein, the storage state is configured as follows: the guide arm 302 is pushed by the round tube and embedded into the circumferential wall surface of the material taking arm 301 .
[0118] In this embodiment, the round pipe picking device further optimizes the structural design of the guide arm 302 and the picking arm 301, so that it has higher flexibility and operational adaptability. Compared with the first embodiment, this embodiment connects the guide arm 302 and the picking arm 301 by hinged connection, giving the guide arm 302 a foldable function, thereby enhancing the adaptability of the device under different working conditions.
[0119] Specifically, based on the hinged design, the guide arm 302 has two main working states: a guiding state and a storage state.
[0120] In the guiding state, the guide arm 302 is unfolded from the circumferential wall surface of the material picking arm 301, and forms a set angle a with the axis L2 of the material picking arm 301. In this state, the unfolded angle of the guide arm 302 is toward the axis L1 of the round tube. By contacting both sides of the round tube, the guide arm 302 can effectively correct the axis of the round tube to make it coaxial with the axis L2 of the material picking arm 301. This design further improves the accuracy of the material picking operation, especially when the axis of the round tube is offset due to cutting vibration or improper placement, the unfolding of the guide arm 302 can be quickly adjusted to ensure that the material picking arm 301 can be smoothly inserted into the inside of the round tube.
[0121] In the stowed state, when the guide arm 302 is pushed by the round pipe, the guide arm 302 will automatically fold and embed into the circumferential wall of the material-retrieving arm 301. This design not only improves the compactness of the device, reduces the space occupied by the guide arm 302 in the non-working state, but also prevents the interference or obstruction that may be caused by the guide arm 302 during the material-retrieving process. The guide arm 302 in the stowed state is closely matched with the material-retrieving arm 301, maintaining the smoothness and consistency of the entire device when not in use, thereby improving the safety and durability of the equipment.
[0122] The hinged design and dual-state conversion mechanism in this embodiment give the round pipe material taking device higher operational flexibility and adaptability. The foldability of the guide arm 302 allows the device to be flexibly adjusted under different material taking requirements and working conditions, so that the device can adapt to round pipes of different specifications and different states. In addition, the set angle a of the guide arm 302 can also be adjusted according to the actual working conditions to adapt to round pipes of different sizes and shapes, which further enhances the versatility and adaptability of the device.
[0123] like Figure 6 to Figure 7 As shown, the third embodiment of the present invention proposes a round pipe material taking device, and based on the previous embodiment, the material taking arm 301 includes:
[0124] A penetration member 3021 and a snap-fit member;
[0125] The penetration member 3021 has a set length in the axial direction so as to be penetrated inside the round tube;
[0126] The engaging member is disposed at the end of the penetrating member 3021;
[0127] Wherein, the engaging member comprises:
[0128] A snap-fit head 3022, wherein the snap-fit head 3022 is formed with a cavity;
[0129] The vent hole 3023 is provided at the end of the engaging head 3022 close to the round tube;
[0130] The pneumatic member 3024 is connected to the circumferential wall surface of the engaging head 3022 through an elastic member;
[0131] The pneumatic member 3024 is supported by the gas entering the cavity through the vent hole 3023 to engage with the end of the round tube.
[0132] Furthermore, the pneumatic member 3024 is controlled by the elastic force of the elastic member to rebound to the inside of the engaging head 3022 .
[0133] In this embodiment, the round tube picking device further optimizes the structure of the picking arm 301, especially by introducing the combined design of the penetration member 3021 and the clamping member, a more stable and reliable grabbing operation of the round tube is achieved. Compared with the previous embodiment, this embodiment adds a pneumatically controlled clamping structure at the end of the picking arm 301, thereby significantly improving the safety and effectiveness of the picking process.
[0134] Specifically, the material taking arm 301 in this embodiment includes the following main components:
[0135] The penetration member 3021 is the core component of the material taking arm 301. It has a set length in the axial direction and is designed to penetrate into the interior of the round tube. The length of the penetration member 3021 is accurately calculated to ensure that it can penetrate into the interior of the round tube during the material taking process, thereby providing sufficient support and stability. This design allows the material taking arm 301 to be firmly inserted into the round tube during operation, avoiding possible sliding or separation during the material taking process.
[0136] The engaging member is arranged at the end of the penetration member 3021, and is used to grasp and fix the end of the round tube. The design of the engaging member is the key innovation of this embodiment, and it includes the following components:
[0137] The engaging head 3022: The engaging head 3022 is formed with a cavity for accommodating the pneumatic part 3024 and related components. The cavity is designed as a sealed structure to ensure that the air pressure change can be effectively controlled during operation.
[0138] Ventilation hole 3023: The vent 3023 is provided at one end of the engaging head 3022 close to the round tube, through which the gas can be controlled to enter the cavity of the engaging head 3022. The entry of gas will cause the air pressure in the cavity to change, thereby triggering the action of the pneumatic part 3024.
[0139] Pneumatic part 3024: The pneumatic part 3024 is connected to the circumferential wall of the engaging head 3022 through an elastic part. The pneumatic part 3024 is controlled by the gas pressure entering the cavity, and can be propped up when the pressure increases, so as to engage with the end of the round tube. In this way, the pneumatic part 3024 can ensure that the picking arm 301 provides a reliable fixing force when grabbing the round tube, preventing the round tube from falling off or moving during the picking process.
[0140] In this embodiment, the movement of the pneumatic part 3024 is controlled by the change of gas pressure. When the gas pressure entering the cavity through the vent hole 3023 increases, the pneumatic part 3024 is propped up and clamped with the end of the round tube to form a stable grasping force. After the material picking operation is completed, the pneumatic part 3024 rebounds to the inside of the clamping head 3022 under the action of the elastic part, thereby releasing the grasping of the round tube. This process is achieved through pneumatic control, ensuring the automation and reliability of the material picking operation.
[0141] This embodiment significantly improves the operational reliability and applicability of the material taking arm 301 through the design of the pneumatic part 3024 and the snap-fit structure. Through the elastic rebound and air pressure control of the pneumatic part 3024, the device can provide stable material taking operation under different working conditions and adapt to round pipes of various diameters and thicknesses. This not only increases the versatility of the device, but also reduces the technical requirements for operators, making the entire material taking process simpler and more efficient.
[0142] In one specific implementation, the engaging head 3022 is a conical structure.
[0143] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the fourth embodiment of the present invention proposes a round pipe material taking device, and based on the previous embodiment, the second material taking module 3 includes:
[0144] A second displacement driving member 303, disposed on the work surface 101;
[0145] Wherein, the second displacement driving member 303 is controlled by the control unit to move back and forth along the first direction;
[0146] The first direction is the width direction of the frame 1;
[0147] Furthermore, the material taking arm 301 can be detachably connected to the second displacement driving member 303 .
[0148] In this embodiment, the round tube picking device further optimizes the structure of the second picking module 3 based on the previous embodiment, and achieves a more flexible and efficient picking operation by introducing the second displacement drive member 303 and the detachable design of the picking arm 301.
[0149] Specifically, the main improvements of this embodiment include:
[0150] In this embodiment, a second displacement driving member 303 is provided on the work surface 101, and the driving member is responsible for controlling the reciprocating movement of the material picking arm 301 on the work surface 101. Specifically, the second displacement driving member 303 can perform precise displacement operation in the first direction, that is, the width direction of the frame 1. This design enables the material picking arm 301 to move freely on a fixed track, thereby effectively expanding the material picking range and improving the flexibility of operation.
[0151] The second displacement drive member 303 (e.g., a linear motor) is controlled by the control unit and can automatically adjust the position of the material picking arm 301 according to the position and size information of the round tube. Through the precise calculation of the control unit, the drive member can move the material picking arm 301 on the optimal path to ensure that it can accurately align the position of the round tube for picking. This precise control not only improves the efficiency of picking, but also reduces the error caused by manual adjustment, significantly improving the accuracy and reliability of the operation.
[0152] In order to further enhance the flexibility of the device, in this embodiment, the material taking arm 301 is designed to be detachably connected to the second displacement driving member 303. The detachable design of the material taking arm 301 brings multiple advantages:
[0153] During the operation of the equipment, if the material picking arm 301 is damaged or needs to be replaced, it can be simply disassembled for maintenance or replacement without shutting down the entire equipment for maintenance, which significantly reduces the downtime of the equipment and improves the continuity of the production line.
[0154] Round pipes of different specifications may require pick-up arms 301 of different sizes or shapes. Through the detachable design, different pick-up arms 301 can be replaced according to actual needs, making the equipment more adaptable and capable of processing round pipes of various specifications.
[0155] The detachable design of the material picking arm 301 makes the equipment modular. Users can flexibly configure different types of material picking arms 301 according to specific production needs, further enhancing the functional scalability of the equipment.
[0156] This embodiment greatly improves the flexibility of equipment operation by combining the second displacement driving member 303 with the detachable material taking arm 301 .
[0157] In a specific embodiment, when the engaging member loses its constraint on the end of the round tube, the first picking module 2 grabs the round tube, and the second displacement drive member 303 continues to move in a direction away from the round tube, so that the first picking module 2 removes the round tube from the second picking module 3.
[0158] The fifth embodiment of the present invention provides a round pipe material taking device, and based on the previous embodiment, the first material taking module 2 includes:
[0159] The first displacement driving member 201 is disposed on the work surface 101 and is located on one side of the second displacement driving member 303;
[0160] A first material picking claw 202 connected to the first displacement driving member 201;
[0161] Wherein, the first displacement driving member 201 is controlled by the control unit to move back and forth along the first direction;
[0162] The first material picking claw 202 synchronously moves along the first direction;
[0163] And, the first material picking claw 202 has a reciprocating movement along the second direction;
[0164] The second direction is perpendicular to the first direction.
[0165] In this embodiment, the round tube picking device further optimizes the structural design of the first picking module 2 on the basis of the previous embodiment, and realizes a more flexible and efficient picking operation by adding a first displacement drive member 201 (such as a linear motor) and a first picking claw 202 with a bidirectional displacement function, especially for round tubes in different directions and positions, thereby improving the operating accuracy and applicability of the equipment.
[0166] Specifically, the improvements and features of this embodiment include:
[0167] On the work surface 101, the first displacement driving member 201 is installed on one side of the second displacement driving member 303. The main function of the first displacement driving member 201 is to control the first material picking claw 202 to reciprocate along the width direction (i.e., the first direction) of the frame 1. Through this arrangement, the material picking claw can move on the fixed track to accurately align the position of the round pipe and perform the material picking operation.
[0168] The first material picking claw 202 is connected to the first displacement driving member 201 through a mechanical connection, and moves synchronously with the displacement driving member along the first direction. This design enables the material picking claw to freely adjust its position in the width direction to adapt to round pipes at different positions.
[0169] In addition to moving in the first direction, the first pick-up claw 202 also has the ability to reciprocate in a second direction (perpendicular to the first direction). The second direction is usually perpendicular to the work surface 101. This design allows the pick-up claw to be adjusted in height, so that it can flexibly cope with round pipes of different diameters and heights. Through the two-way displacement function, the pick-up claw can be adjusted in three dimensions, greatly improving the pick-up accuracy and applicability of the equipment.
[0170] This embodiment introduces a bidirectional displacement function, so that the first material picking module 2 has a multi-dimensional material picking capability. No matter where the round tube is located on the work surface 101, or what its specific size and shape are, the first material picking claw 202 can ensure accurate grasping of the round tube by adjusting its position in the first direction and the second direction. This multi-dimensional flexibility is particularly suitable for processing round tubes with irregular shapes or position displacement during processing, ensuring the success rate of the material picking operation.
[0171] The design of this embodiment enables the round tube material picking device to adapt to more complex working environments and application scenarios. For example, in situations where round tubes of different sizes and positions need to be picked up with high precision, the device can flexibly adjust the position of the picking claws through the bidirectional displacement function to ensure the smooth progress of the picking operation. This design lays the foundation for the wide application of the equipment in diversified industrial production, especially in automated production lines with higher requirements.
[0172] The sixth embodiment of the present invention provides a round pipe material taking device, and based on the previous embodiment, the material area includes a first material area 102 and a second material area 103;
[0173] Disposed between the first material area 102 and the second material area 103 are:
[0174] A measuring module having a positioning component 4 and a measuring component 5;
[0175] Wherein, the first material taking module 2 delivers the round pipe to the positioning assembly 4;
[0176] The measuring component 5 measures the length of the round tube;
[0177] Wherein, the positioning component 4 sends the round tube to the first material area 102 or the second material area 103 based on the result of the length measurement;
[0178] Furthermore, when the length measurement structure does not meet the preset length range, the round tube is sent to the first material area 102;
[0179] And, when the length measurement structure meets the preset length range, the round tube is sent to the second material area 103.
[0180] In this embodiment, the round tube picking device further optimizes the allocation and management of the material area on the basis of the previous embodiment, and realizes accurate measurement and classified storage of round tubes (specifically qualified products and unqualified products) by introducing the measuring module and the positioning component 4, thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of the entire picking and subsequent processing process.
[0181] Specifically, the key improvements of this embodiment include:
[0182] In this embodiment, the material area is divided into a first material area 102 and a second material area 103. This zoning management method allows round pipes to be classified and stored according to different standards after being taken and measured. The arrangement between the first material area 102 and the second material area 103 enables the device to perform refined management of round pipes, ensuring that round pipes of different specifications can be classified separately, which is convenient for subsequent processing or treatment.
[0183] In order to achieve accurate classification of round tubes, the present embodiment sets a measuring module between the first material area 102 and the second material area 103. The measuring module is composed of a positioning component 4 and a measuring component 5, and its main function is to measure the length of the round tubes after taking the material, and accurately classify the round tubes into corresponding material areas according to the measurement results.
[0184] The positioning assembly 4 is responsible for receiving the round tube delivered from the first material taking module 2 and fixing it at the measuring position. By fixing the positioning assembly 4, the measuring assembly 5 can perform stable and accurate measurement operations on the round tube, avoiding measurement errors caused by movement or instability of the round tube.
[0185] The measuring component 5 accurately measures the length of the round tube. The measurement result can be directly used to determine whether the round tube meets the preset length range, that is, whether it is a qualified product or a failed product. The measurement process has a high degree of automation and can quickly obtain accurate data, thereby providing a reliable basis for subsequent distribution operations.
[0186] The core innovation of this embodiment is that, according to the length data obtained by the measuring component 5, the positioning component 4 can intelligently allocate the round tubes to different material areas. When the measurement result does not meet the preset length range, the round tubes will be sent to the first material area 102 as materials that need further processing or do not meet the specifications. When the measurement result meets the preset length range, the round tubes will be sent to the second material area 103 and stored as materials that meet the specifications. This classification storage method based on precise measurement significantly improves the efficiency and accuracy of material management and avoids errors that may be caused by manual operation.
[0187] Through the collaborative work of the measuring module and the positioning component 4, this embodiment greatly improves the automation level of the round pipe material taking device. The entire process from taking materials, measuring to classified storage is automatically completed under the scheduling of the equipment control unit, reducing manual intervention and shortening the operation time. This design not only improves production efficiency, but also reduces quality problems caused by manual misjudgment, ensuring the efficiency and consistency of the production process.
[0188] In a specific embodiment, the first material area 102 and the second material area 103 are stacked at the height of the frame 1, and the bottom surface of each material area is an inclined surface.
[0189] In a specific embodiment, universal wheels are disposed at the bottom of the frame 1 .
[0190] The seventh embodiment of the present invention provides a round pipe material taking device, and based on the previous embodiment, the positioning component 4 includes:
[0191] A positioning platform 401, wherein the positioning platform 401 has a V-shaped positioning groove;
[0192] Furthermore, the positioning platform 401 is rotatably connected to the first material inlet 1021 of the first material area 102 and the second material inlet 1031 of the second material area 103;
[0193] A positioning block 402 is disposed on one side of the positioning platform 401 to abut against one end of the round tube;
[0194] A rotating driving member 403 connected to the positioning platform 401 to drive the positioning platform 401 to rotate toward the first feeding port 1021 when the length measurement structure does not meet the preset length range;
[0195] And, when the length measurement structure meets the preset length range, the positioning platform 401 is driven to rotate toward the second feed port.
[0196] In this embodiment, the round tube material taking device further optimizes the structural design of the positioning assembly 4, and significantly improves the accuracy and operating efficiency of the round tube classification and delivery by introducing the positioning platform 401 with a V-shaped positioning groove and the rotating driving member 403. This design not only ensures the accurate guidance of the round tube after measurement, but also further improves the adaptability of the device in a complex production environment.
[0197] Specifically, the key improvements of this embodiment include:
[0198] The positioning platform 401 in this embodiment is designed as a structure with a V-shaped positioning groove. The shape of the V-shaped positioning groove matches the circumference of the round tube, which can effectively fix and position the round tube to prevent it from rolling or shifting during the measurement and classification process. This design of the positioning platform 401 ensures the stability of the round tube during the entire classification and delivery process, thereby improving the accuracy of measurement and sorting.
[0199] The positioning platform 401 is not only used to fix the round tube, but also has a rotatable function. The positioning platform 401 is connected to the first feed port 1021 of the first material area 102 and the second feed port 1031 of the second material area 103 by rotation, and can guide the round tube to different material areas according to different measurement results. Specifically, when the measurement result shows that the length of the round tube does not meet the preset length range, the positioning platform 401 rotates toward the first feed port 1021 under the action of the rotating drive member 403 to guide the round tube to the first material area 102. On the contrary, when the measurement result shows that the length of the round tube meets the preset length range, the positioning platform 401 rotates toward the second feed port to guide the round tube to the second material area 103.
[0200] A positioning block 402 is provided on one side of the positioning platform 401, and the positioning block 402 abuts against one end of the round tube, further ensuring the stability of the round tube on the positioning platform 401. The design of the positioning block 402 makes the round tube more stable in the V-shaped positioning groove, preventing the round tube from shifting due to rotation or other operations. This function is crucial to ensure that the round tube is accurately guided to the corresponding material area during the rotation process.
[0201] The rotating drive member 403 (e.g., a rotating motor) is connected to the positioning platform 401 and is responsible for driving the positioning platform 401 to rotate between different feed ports. The movement of the rotating drive member 403 is precisely controlled by the control unit according to the measurement results, thereby realizing the automatic classification of the round tubes. Through this design, the positioning platform 401 can respond to the measurement results quickly and accurately, ensuring that the round tubes are correctly classified into the corresponding material area according to their length parameters.
[0202] This embodiment achieves high precision and high efficiency in the sorting operation of round tubes through the V-groove of the positioning table 401, the abutment design of the positioning block 402, and the intelligent control of the rotating drive member 403. This design is particularly suitable for automated production lines that process a large number of round tubes, and can significantly reduce errors caused by manual operation, and improve the overall efficiency of the production line and product quality. The combination of the positioning table 401 and the rotating drive member 403 makes the device suitable for round tubes of various lengths and diameters, and has strong adaptability. In addition, by adjusting the size and shape of the V-shaped positioning groove, the device can be adapted to round tubes of more specifications, further expanding its scope of application.
[0203] In one specific implementation, the positioning platform 401 is made of marble.
[0204] The eighth embodiment of the present invention provides a round pipe material taking device, and based on the previous embodiment, the measuring component 5 includes:
[0205] A third displacement driving member 501 is disposed on one side of the positioning platform 401 and has a reciprocating displacement along the length direction of the positioning platform 401;
[0206] An abutment member, disposed on the third displacement driving member 501;
[0207] A measuring device 502, disposed on one side of the abutment member;
[0208] Wherein, the abutment member is used to abut against the end of the round tube, and the abutment member has a degree of freedom away from the end of the round tube;
[0209] The measuring device 502 obtains the length parameter of the round tube in the form of laser detection.
[0210] In this embodiment, the round tube material taking device further optimizes the design of the measuring component 5, and realizes high-precision measurement of the length of the round tube by introducing the third displacement driving member 501, the abutting member and the laser measuring device 502. This improvement not only improves the accuracy and efficiency of the measurement, but also enhances the adaptability of the device under different production conditions.
[0211] Specifically, the key improvements of this embodiment include:
[0212] The third displacement driver 501 (such as a linear motor) is installed on one side of the positioning platform 401, and its main function is to control the abutment to move back and forth along the length direction of the positioning platform 401. Through the precise control of the third displacement driver 501, the abutment can move along the length direction of the round tube.
[0213] The abutment is mounted on the third displacement drive member 501 and is used to contact the end of the round tube. The design of the abutment takes into account the flexibility of operation. It can not only move along the length direction of the positioning platform 401, but also has the freedom to move away from the end of the round tube. This degree of freedom allows the abutment to fine-tune its position according to actual needs during the measurement process to ensure close contact with the end of the round tube while avoiding excessive pressure or damage to the round tube. This design effectively improves the reliability of the measurement and ensures stability during the measurement process.
[0214] The measuring device 502 is installed on one side of the abutment, and uses laser detection to obtain the length parameters of the round tube. Laser measurement technology has the advantages of high precision and non-contact measurement, and can quickly and accurately measure the length of the round tube. Through the laser measuring device 502, this embodiment can complete the accurate measurement of the round tube in a short time, and use the measurement results for subsequent classification and processing operations. The non-contact characteristics of laser measurement also reduce the wear on the surface of the round tube, further improving the safety and reliability of the measurement.
[0215] This embodiment realizes a high degree of automation of the measurement process by combining the third displacement drive member 501 with the laser measuring device 502. The entire measurement process is automatically completed under the coordination of the control unit without manual intervention. This automated design not only improves the measurement efficiency, but also reduces the errors that may be caused by manual operation, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the round tube classification process.
[0216] like Figure 6 As shown, the ninth embodiment of the present invention provides a round tube material taking device, and based on the previous embodiment, the abutment member includes:
[0217] A slide rail 503, disposed on the third displacement driving member 501;
[0218] A push block 504 is slidably connected to the slide rail 503;
[0219] A spring 505 is connected to one side of the push block 504 to give the push block 504 freedom along the end away from the round tube.
[0220] In this embodiment, the round tube material taking device further optimizes the design of the abutment, and achieves higher flexibility and accuracy of the abutment during the measurement process by introducing the slide rail 503, the push block 504 and the spring 505 assembly. This improvement ensures that the measurement and material taking process of the round tube is more stable and reliable, especially when processing round tubes with slight length deviations or position changes, showing significant advantages.
[0221] Specifically, the key improvements of this embodiment include:
[0222] The slide rail 503 is mounted on the third displacement driving member 501, and provides a support structure for the push block 504 to slide along the direction of the slide rail 503. The design of the slide rail 503 enables the push block 504 to slide smoothly on a predetermined path, ensuring that the abutment member can smoothly adjust its position to contact the end of the round tube member. The use of the slide rail 503 not only enhances the mobility of the abutment member, but also improves the accuracy and stability of the entire measurement system.
[0223] The push block 504 is slidably connected to the slide rail 503 and is the main moving part of the abutment. During the measurement process, the push block 504 can be smoothly moved to the position of the end of the round tube by the guidance of the slide rail 503 to make contact with it. The sliding design of the push block 504 allows the abutment to adjust its position as needed during the measurement process to ensure close contact with the end of the round tube while reducing potential damage to the round tube.
[0224] The spring 505 is connected to one side of the push block 504, providing the push block 504 with a degree of freedom in a direction away from the end of the round tube. The design of the spring 505 has a dual function: on the one hand, it provides a flexible support for the push block 504, so that the push block 504 can exert an appropriate force when contacting the round tube without causing deformation or damage to the round tube due to excessive pressure; on the other hand, the elastic force of the spring 505 can automatically rebound the push block 504 to the initial position after the measurement is completed, ensuring that the measuring device 502 is restored to the preset state when the next operation is performed.
[0225] This elastic return mechanism ensures the continuity and consistency of measurement and avoids measurement errors caused by improper operation or equipment loss. In addition, the freedom of spring 505 also allows push block 504 to automatically adjust its position when encountering a slight deviation or irregular end face of the round pipe, thereby achieving more accurate measurement.
[0226] Through the synergistic effect of the slide rail 503, the push block 504 and the spring 505, the abutment has higher stability and adaptability during the measurement process. Even when there is a slight length change or position deviation at the end of the round tube, the abutment can achieve accurate measurement and material removal operations through its flexible sliding and elastic adjustment. This design is particularly suitable for industrial application scenarios that require high-precision and high-reliability measurements, ensuring the stable operation of the device under various complex working conditions.
[0227] The tenth embodiment of the present invention provides a round pipe material taking device, and based on the previous embodiment, the measuring device 502 has a trigger head;
[0228] When the push block 504 moves in a direction away from the end of the round tube and contacts the trigger head, the measuring device 502 is activated.
[0229] In this embodiment, the round tube material taking device further optimizes the trigger mechanism of the measuring device 502 on the basis of the previous embodiment, and realizes the automation and accuracy of the measurement process by introducing the trigger head structure. When the push block 504 moves in a direction away from the end of the round tube and contacts the trigger head, the measuring device 502 will automatically start. This design not only simplifies the operation process, but also ensures the timeliness and reliability of the measurement.
[0230] Specifically, the key improvements of this embodiment include:
[0231] The trigger head is a key component newly added in this embodiment and is installed at the trigger position of the measuring device 502. The main function of the trigger head is to automatically trigger the start of the measuring device 502 when the push block 504 moves to a specific position. This design realizes the automatic activation of the measuring device 502 through physical contact, avoiding the tediousness and uncertainty of manual operation.
[0232] When the push block 504 moves in a direction away from the end of the round pipe, the ultimate position it reaches contacts the trigger head. At this time, the trigger head transmits a signal to the measuring device 502 through mechanical contact to start the measuring process. In this way, the entire measuring process is highly automated, reducing the possibility of human intervention.
[0233] The matching design of the push block 504 and the trigger head enables the measuring device 502 to be started at the best time, ensuring the accuracy and timeliness of the measurement. At the same time, this design can also be adjusted according to different measurement requirements and flexibly adapt to various working conditions.
[0234] By introducing the trigger head, the start of the measuring device 502 no longer depends on an external control signal, but is directly determined by the position of the push block 504. This automatic trigger mechanism not only simplifies the control process, but also ensures the accurate execution of each measurement, greatly improving the working efficiency of the equipment.
[0235] In actual operation, this automatic trigger mechanism can respond quickly and reduce the delay of measurement startup, thus ensuring the continuity and efficiency of the production line.
[0236] The trigger head design of this embodiment makes the start of the measuring device 502 more reliable. The physical contact between the trigger head and the push block 504 ensures that the start conditions of each measurement are consistent, avoiding errors or failures that may be caused by electronic control. This design also improves the safety of the equipment. When encountering abnormal conditions, the operator can quickly restore normal working conditions by physically checking and adjusting the position of the trigger head.
