Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of pipe transportation, and in particular to a pipe transportation device. Background Art

[0002] In order to facilitate the sorting and transportation of finished pipes, batches of pipes need to be transported one by one to designated racks according to a certain number. In order to improve the efficiency of pipe transportation and meet the conditions of counting the number of pipes and transporting them one by one, a pipe conveying equipment is required.

[0003] In the prior art, counting sensors are often used at the discharge port of conveying equipment to count the moving pipes. However, in order to ensure effective counting of the counting sensor, the distance between the sensing end of the counting sensor and the moving pipe cannot be too far. However, during transportation, it is impossible to completely ensure that the pipe remains in a fixed state throughout the entire process. If the end of the pipe is warped, the pipe is likely to hit the counting sensor, causing damage to the counting sensor.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, during transportation, the pipes fall from the loading box to the conveying rack, the pipes are moved by the conveying assembly, the pipes fall into the pushing groove, and the pushing member pushes the pipes to move. During this process, the pipes push the resistance part to rotate, causing the lifting part to rotate, and then rise through the connecting plate, driving the lifting seat to rise, thereby causing the counting sensor to rise. The sensing end of the counting sensor detects the passage of the pipes and sends an electrical signal to the controller, causing the control system to record the number of pipes, achieving the effect of conveying and counting the pipes. By setting up a rotating rack, when pipes of different diameters pass by, the counting sensor always maintains a certain distance from the pipes, ensuring that the counting sensor can accurately sense the pipes and avoiding the phenomenon of the pipe ends tilting and hitting the counting sensor during transportation.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution and arranging the sliding seat, sliding and rotating cooperation between the lifting part and the connecting plate is achieved, so that the lifting seat can be lifted and lowered smoothly.

[0011] Optionally, the limiting member is a limiting column, which is connected to the fixing seat and located below the lifting seat. In the initial position, the lifting seat contacts the limiting member.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, at the initial position, the lifting seat descends due to gravity and contacts the limiting member, thereby limiting the initial position of the lifting seat. At the same time, the initial angle of the rotating frame is also limited by the sliding seat.

[0013] Optionally, a mounting post is connected to the connecting plate, a pressure spring is connected between the mounting post and the fixing seat, and a rubber pad is sleeved on the limiting member.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution and arranging the pressure spring and the rubber pad, the rise and fall of the lifting seat will be cushioned, especially the impact of the lifting seat on the rubber pad, thereby reducing the impact of vibration on the counting sensor.

[0017] Optionally, a plurality of limiting strips are connected to the conveyor belt, and the limiting strips are evenly distributed along the circumference of the conveyor belt. During transportation, the pipe is located between two adjacent limiting strips.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the limiting strip is used to limit the position of the pipe, thereby reducing the possibility of the pipe being offset during transportation, and allowing the pipe to smoothly enter the pushing groove.

[0019] Optionally, a plurality of partitions are connected to the loading box, and the loading box is divided into a plurality of feeding channels by the plurality of partitions, wherein a discharge port is provided at the bottom end of one of the feeding channels, and a limiting component is provided on the loading box to prevent the movement of pipes in other feeding channels.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution and providing a plurality of feeding channels and limiting components, the pipes are divided into a plurality of groups and fall in sequence, ensuring that the pipes are transported one by one.

[0021] Optionally, the limiting assembly includes a counterweight block, a pressure plate, a baffle, a locking frame, a lifting frame and a traction spring. The bottom end of the partition is provided with a discharge port and a sliding groove. The baffle vertically slides and fits in the sliding groove. Both ends of the baffle are connected to connecting blocks. The charging box is provided with a limiting groove. The connecting block slides and fits in the limiting groove. A fixed block is connected to the side wall of the charging box. The fixed block is located above the connecting block. The traction spring is connected between the fixed block and the connecting block. The locking frame slides horizontally on the side wall of the charging box. The lifting frame slides vertically. Fitted on the side wall of the charging box, the lifting frame is connected with a guide part, and the locking frame is provided with a guide groove. The guide part slides and fits in the guide groove. The pressure plate slides and fits in each of the feeding channels. The counterweight block is connected to the pressure plate.

When opened, the resistance flange presses the lifting frame, the locking frame disengages from the moving path of the connecting block, and the baffle is located in the sliding groove.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, when feeding, the pipes in the feeding channel provided with the discharge port fall in sequence through the moving conveyor belt, and the pressure plate falls as the number of pipes decreases until it contacts the flange to apply pressure to the lifting frame, causing the lifting frame to fall down. Through the cooperation of the guide part and the guide groove, the locking frame moves toward the lifting frame position to disengage from the moving path of the connecting block. At this time, the connecting block rises due to the force of the traction spring, driving the baffle to rise, and the baffle enters the sliding groove to open the discharge port. At this time, the pipes in the adjacent feeding channels pass through the discharge port and are discharged one by one. Similarly, the pipes in the remaining feeding channels fall on the conveyor belt in sequence, achieving the effect of conveying the pipes one by one.

[0023] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0024] 1. During transportation, the pipes fall from the loading box onto the conveyor rack, where they are moved by the conveying assembly and fall into the push trough. The pusher pushes the pipes forward, and during this process, the pipes push the resistance part to rotate, causing the lifting part to rotate, which then rises through the connecting plate, driving the lifting seat to rise, thereby raising the counting sensor. The sensing end of the counting sensor detects the passage of the pipes and sends an electrical signal to the controller, which enables the control system to record the number of pipes, achieving the effect of conveying and counting the pipes. By setting up a rotating rack, the counting sensor always maintains a certain distance from the pipes when pipes of different diameters pass by, ensuring that the counting sensor can accurately sense the pipes and avoiding the phenomenon of the pipe ends tilting and hitting the counting sensor during transportation;

[0025] 2. During feeding, the pipes in the feeding channel with the discharge port fall down in sequence through the moving conveyor belt. The pressure plate falls down as the number of pipes decreases until it contacts the flange to apply pressure to the lifting frame, causing the lifting frame to fall down. Through the cooperation of the guide part and the guide groove, the lock frame moves toward the lifting frame position to disengage from the moving path of the connecting block. At this time, the connecting block rises under the action of the traction spring, driving the baffle to rise, and the baffle enters the sliding groove to open the discharge port. At this time, the pipes in the adjacent feeding channels pass through the discharge port and are discharged one by one. Similarly, the pipes in the remaining feeding channels fall onto the conveyor belt in sequence, achieving the effect of conveying the pipes one by one. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] The following is combined with Figures 1-6 This application is described in further detail.

[0034] The present application embodiment discloses a pipe conveying device. Figure 1 The pipe conveying equipment includes a conveying frame 1. A conveying component 3 and a controller 11 are provided on the conveying frame 1. The conveying component 3 includes a conveying motor 31, a conveying roller 32 and a conveyor belt 33. The conveying roller 32 is rotatably connected at the feed end and the discharge end of the conveying frame 1. The conveyor belt 33 is sleeved between the two conveying rollers 32. The surface of the conveyor belt 33 is fixedly connected with a plurality of limiting strips 331 along its circumference direction. The plurality of limiting strips 331 are evenly distributed and are used to limit the position of the pipe. The conveying motor 31 is installed on the conveying frame 1 and is coaxially connected to the conveying roller 32 near the feed end. The conveying motor 31 is electrically connected to the controller 11.

[0035] When conveying pipes, the conveying motor 31 is started to rotate the conveying roller 32 and move the conveying belt 33 to convey the pipes one by one through the limiting bar 331 .

[0036] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2A loading box 4 is installed on the conveyor frame 1 near the feed end. The top of the loading box 4 is opened, and a number of partitions 41 are vertically fixedly connected to the loading box 4. In this embodiment, two partitions are taken as an example. Three feeding channels 42 are formed between the inner wall of the loading box 4 and the two partitions 41. A discharge port 43 is provided at the bottom of the feeding channel 42 away from the feed end.

[0037] Reference Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 A limiting assembly 5 is disposed between the loading box 4 and the partition 41. The limiting assembly 5 comprises a counterweight 51, a pressure plate 52, a baffle 53, a locking frame 54, a lifting frame 55, and a tension spring 56. The bottom end of the partition 41 defines a discharge port 411 and a sliding slot 412. The baffle 53 slides within the sliding slot 412. Both ends of the baffle 53 are fixedly connected to the connection port. A limiting slot is defined at the loading box 4 corresponding to the connection block 531, which slides within the limiting slot. A fixed block is fixedly connected to the loading box 4 at a position corresponding to the position above the connection block 531. The tension spring 56 is installed between the fixed block and the connection block 531.

[0038] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The locking frame 54 slides horizontally with one at the position corresponding to the connecting block 531 on the side wall of the charging box 4. The lifting frame 55 slides vertically on the charging box 4. The lifting frame 55 is integrally formed with a guide portion 551. The guide portion 551 is tilted, and the distance between the guide portion 551 and the lifting frame 55 gradually decreases from bottom to top. A plurality of balls are embedded on the surface of the guide portion 551. The locking frame 54 is provided with a guide groove 541. The guide portion 551 passes through the guide groove 541, and the balls abut the side wall of the guide groove 541. The pressure plate 52 slides vertically in each feeding channel 42. Both ends of the pressure plate 52 extend out of the charging box 4. The end of the pressure plate 52 is fixedly connected to the abutment flange 521. The counterweight block 51 is fixedly connected to the top wall of the pressure plate 52.

[0039] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 In the initial state, the baffle 53 covers the discharge port 411, the lock frame 54 contacts the top wall of the connecting block 531, and the traction spring 56 is in a stretched state.

[0040] When feeding one by one, each feeding channel 42 is filled with pipes, and then the pressure plate 52 is placed in the feeding channel 42 and contacts the pipes at the highest point. The pipes in the feeding channel 42 with the discharge port 43 are discharged one by one along with the moving conveyor belt 33, and the pressure plate 52 descends until it contacts the flange 521 to press the lifting frame 55, causing the guide part 551 to descend, and at the same time drives the locking frame 54 to move toward the position of the lifting frame 55 to disengage from the moving path of the connecting block 531. The connecting block 531 rises under the action of the traction spring 56, driving the baffle 53 to rise, and the baffle 53 enters the sliding groove 412 to open the discharge port 411. At this time, the pipes in the middle feeding channel 42 are gradually discharged through the discharge port 411, and so on, the pipes in the remaining feeding channels 42 are discharged, thereby achieving the effect of conveying the pipes one by one.

[0041] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 5 The discharging end of the conveying frame 1 is fixedly connected to a pushing frame 6, a pushing groove 61 is provided in the pushing frame 6, a pushing member 62 is provided at the end of the pushing frame 6, and the pushing member 62 is a pushing cylinder. The pushing member 62 is electrically connected to the controller 11. The outlet of the pushing frame 6 is connected to a fixed seat 63 by bolts, and a lifting seat 21 is provided on the fixed seat 63. A plurality of first T-blocks are fixedly connected to the lifting seat 21. The lifting seat 21 is vertically slidably fitted on the lifting seat 21 through the first T-block. A counting sensor 2 is installed on the lifting seat 21, and the sensing end of the counting sensor 2 faces downward. The counting sensor 2 is electrically connected to the controller 11.

[0042] Reference Figure 6 A control assembly 7 is provided on the pushing frame 6, and the control assembly 7 includes a rotating frame 71, a connecting plate 72 and a limiting member 73. The rotating frame 71 includes a resistance portion 711 and a lifting portion 712. One end of the resistance portion 711 is hinged on the pushing frame 6, and the other end is located below the lifting seat 21. In the initial state, with the pushing direction of the pipe as the reference direction, the height of the resistance portion 711 gradually decreases. The lifting portion 712 is integrally formed at one end of the resistance portion 711 and is arranged on the same side as the resistance portion 711. The connecting plate 72 is horizontally fixedly connected to the lifting seat 21. A sliding seat 7121 is provided on the connecting plate 72. A plurality of second T-blocks are fixedly connected to the sliding seat 7121. The sliding seat 7121 is slidably matched with the connecting plate 72 through the second T-block. One end of the lifting portion 712 is hinged to the sliding seat 7121.

[0043] Reference Figure 6The limiting member 73 is a limiting column. Several limiting members 73 are fixedly connected to the fixed base 63 and are located below the lift base 21. The limiting member 73 is covered with a rubber pad 731. The connecting plate 72 is fixedly connected to the mounting column. A pressure spring 721 is installed between the mounting column and the fixed base 63. The rubber pad 731 and the pressure spring 721 cooperate to achieve a cushioning effect when the lift base 21 is raised and lowered.

[0044] When pushing the pipe, the moving pipe touches the resistance part 711, causing the resistance part 711 to rotate clockwise, driving the lifting part 712 to rotate, causing the connecting plate 72 to rise, driving the lifting seat 21 to rise, and causing the counting sensor 2 to rise. The sensing end of the counting sensor 2 detects the passage of the pipe and sends an electrical signal to the controller 11, causing the control system to count the pipe, thereby achieving the effect of pushing and counting the pipe.

[0045] The implementation principle of the pipe conveying equipment of the embodiment of the present application is as follows: when preparing pipes, the pipes are filled into the feeding channel 42, and then the pressing plate 52 is placed in the feeding channel 42 and contacts the top of the highest pipe. When feeding, the conveying motor 31 is started by the control system to rotate the conveying roller 32, and the conveyor belt 33 moves, and the pipe is driven to move by the limiting bar 331. As the pipe in the feeding channel 42 decreases, the pressing plate 52 descends until it contacts the flange 521 and presses the lifting frame 55, so that the locking frame 54 moves to disengage from the connecting block 531. The connecting block 531 rises under the action of the traction spring, driving the baffle 53 to move. And enter the sliding groove 412 to open the discharge port 411. The pipes in the adjacent feeding channel 42 are discharged through the discharge port 411 and fall onto the conveyor belt 33 to transport the pipes one by one. The pipes fall into the pushing rack 6 along the conveyor belt 33, and the pushing member 62 is started to move the pipe. During this process, the pipe touches the resistance part 711, and the resistance part 711 drives the lifting part 712 to rotate, and drives the lifting seat 21 to rise through the connecting plate 72, so that the counting sensor 2 rises. The sensing end of the counting sensor 2 detects that the pipe has passed, and sends an electrical signal to the controller 11, which controls the system counting, thereby achieving the effect of conveying and counting pipes.

[0046] By setting up the rotating frame 71, when pipes of different diameters pass by, the counting sensor 2 always maintains a certain distance from the pipes, ensuring that the counting sensor 2 can accurately sense the pipes and avoiding the occurrence of the phenomenon that the ends of the pipes are tilted and hit the counting sensor 2 during transportation.

[0047] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
