Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of pipe conveying devices, in particular to a pipe conveying device with an anti-deviation function. Background Art

[0002] Pipe conveying devices are a core piece of equipment in pipe processing and production, significantly improving production efficiency. Automated, continuous conveying reduces manual intervention and shortens production cycles. Furthermore, precise conveying and positioning ensure high-quality finished products. From an industrial perspective, technological advancements and upgrades in steel pipe conveying devices are crucial for the overall development of the pipe processing industry. With continuous technological innovation and market expansion, the performance and functionality of these devices are being further enhanced and refined, providing more efficient and intelligent solutions for the pipe processing industry.

[0003] During the actual production process, when metal pipes are stored for a long time, some of the pipes will be squeezed by external forces during stacking and transportation, which will cause bending. When the storage environment is poor, the pipes will get damp and rust will appear. When the pipe conveying device conveys these bent or rusty metal pipes, the bent pipes will roll irregularly on the conveying device. Due to the different friction between the rusty parts and the smooth parts and the conveying device, the force on the pipes will be unbalanced, which will eventually cause the pipes to deviate, which will not only affect production efficiency, but also cause damage to equipment and personnel. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The object of the present invention is to provide a pipe conveying device with an anti-deviation function to solve the problems raised in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: a pipe conveying device with an anti-deviation function, comprising a bracket, a pipe clamping assembly is provided on one side of the bracket, a transport correction assembly is rotatably installed on the pipe clamping assembly, a loading assembly is installed on the bracket, a feeding clamp is installed on the bracket, a feeding device is installed on the bracket, and a pipe hopper is installed on the bracket; the transport correction assembly comprises a sliding ring and a plurality of second electric telescopic rods, the sliding ring is slidably connected to the pipe clamping assembly, an adjusting piece is rotatably installed on the sliding ring, one end of the second electric telescopic rod is rotatably connected to the sliding ring, the output shaft of the second electric telescopic rod is rotatably connected to the adjusting piece, a first bracket is installed on one side of the sliding ring, and a second bracket is installed on the other side of the sliding ring; the first bracket comprises a plurality of second connecting members, the second connecting members are installed on the sliding ring, sliding rings are installed between the second connecting members, and straight rods are installed between the sliding rings.

[0006] The pipe conveying device is externally connected to a control cabinet, which is equipped with a control system for controlling the entire pipe conveying device.

[0007] Furthermore, the transport and correction component also includes a rust removal component, a rust spot detection component and a straightening detection component. The rust removal component is installed on the straight rod, the rust spot detection component is slidably connected to the sliding ring, the rust spot detection component is slidably connected to the adjusting member, and the straightening detection component is slidably installed on the second bracket, and the straightening detection component is slidably connected to the adjusting member; the rust removal component includes a third electric telescopic rod, the third electric telescopic rod is installed on the straight rod, and the output shaft of the third electric telescopic rod passes through the straight rod and is installed with a grinding block.

[0008] Furthermore, the straightening detection assembly includes a first transmission rod, which is slidably mounted on the second bracket, a first transmission pin is mounted on the first transmission rod, the first transmission pin is slidably connected to the adjusting member, a first spring is mounted between the first transmission pin and the second bracket, an inwardly concave measuring wheel is rotatably mounted on one end of the first transmission rod, and a first contact is provided at the other end of the first transmission rod.

[0009] When the transport and correction assembly slides to the end of the pipe, the control system starts the second electric telescopic rod. The output shaft of the second electric telescopic rod drives the adjustment part to rotate on the sliding ring. The adjustment part adjusts the transport and correction assembly to the curvature detection mode, so that the concave measuring wheel fits the pipe. The screw drives the transport and correction assembly to slide. When the pipe is bent and deformed, the curved and arched part will squeeze the concave measuring wheel that slides over. After the concave measuring wheel is compressed, it drives the first transmission rod to overcome the elastic force of the first spring and slide in the opposite direction. The first transmission rod drives the first contact to slide and squeeze the force transmission plate. The force transmission plate squeezes the compressed medium in the compression chamber, and the pressure in the compression chamber increases. Under the action of pressure, the pressure plate squeezes the first piezoelectric element. The first piezoelectric element is compressed to generate an electric charge, which is transmitted to the control system through a wire. When the degree of bending deformation of the pipe is large, the displacement of the first transmission rod will increase, and the pressure of the first contact on the force transmission plate will increase accordingly. Finally, the charge of the first piezoelectric element will increase. The control system judges the degree of deformation of the pipe based on the strength of the electrical signal, thereby achieving the purpose of pipe curvature detection.

[0010] When it is detected that the pipe has a bending deformation beyond the specified range, the control system adjusts the transport correction component to the straightening mode through the adjustment part, and adjusts the highest concave measuring wheel to produce a corresponding degree of downward displacement according to the deformation and bending degree of the pipe. The control system changes the rotation direction of the second motor output shaft through a cycle, driving the screw to rotate back and forth, so that the concave measuring wheel on the transport correction component rolls back and forth on the bending area of ​​the pipe until the bending degree after detection meets the production requirements, thereby achieving the purpose of straightening the pipe; during the straightening process, the output shaft of the first electric telescopic rod drives the electric gripper to retract an appropriate amount, and the electric gripper stretches the two ends of the pipe an appropriate amount, so that the two ends of the pipe are straightened more quickly under the action of tension.

[0011] Furthermore, the rust detection assembly includes a second transmission rod, which is slidably connected to the sliding ring, a second transmission pin is installed on the second transmission rod, and the second transmission pin is slidably connected to the adjusting member. A second shell is installed at one end of the second transmission rod, and a detection slide is provided on the second shell. An arc-shaped detection piece is slidably installed on the detection slide, and the concave surface of the arc-shaped detection piece is made of a high friction coefficient material. A diaphragm is installed in the second shell, and a second piezoelectric element is installed between the diaphragms; a sliding block and a transmission piece are provided on the arc-shaped detection piece, and a semicircular groove is provided on the side of the transmission piece. The arc-shaped detection piece is slidably installed on the detection slide through the sliding block.

[0012] Furthermore, the rust detection component also includes a measuring rod, which is rotationally symmetrical and rotatably installed in the second shell. The measuring rods form an angle with each other, and a rotating piece is provided at one end of the measuring rod. A second contact is provided on the rotating piece. A circular chamfer is provided on one side of the measuring rod. The side of the measuring rod with the circular chamfer is engaged with the semicircular groove. A second spring is installed between the measuring rod and the second shell, and the position of the second contact corresponds to the position of the second piezoelectric element.

[0013] When the curvature detection and straightening of the pipe are completed, the control system controls the screw to rotate in the opposite direction, causing the transport and correction assembly to slide in the opposite direction, and the adjustment part adjusts the transport and correction assembly to the rust detection mode. The arc detection piece generates friction when sliding on the surface of the pipe. Under the action of the friction force, the arc detection piece is displaced relative to the second shell, and the conductive piece on the arc detection piece is displaced and squeezes the measuring rod. After being squeezed, the measuring rod overcomes the elastic force of the second spring and rotates. The measuring rod drives the second contact to rotate, and the second measuring head squeezes the second piezoelectric element in the diaphragm. The second piezoelectric element outputs an electrical signal to the control system. When there is rust on the surface of the pipe, the friction force between the arc detection piece and the pipe surface will suddenly change. The change in friction force causes the displacement of the arc detection piece to change, the squeezing force of the conductive piece on the measuring rod to change, and the deflection angle of the measuring rod to change, which ultimately changes the electrical signal generated by the second piezoelectric element. The control system determines whether there is rust on the surface of the pipe based on the change in the electrical signal, thereby achieving the purpose of rust detection on the pipe surface.

[0014] When rust spots are detected on the surface of the pipe, the control system adjusts the transport and correction assembly to the initial mode through the adjustment part, and turns on the first motor and the third electric telescopic rod. The first motor drives the pipe to rotate through the electric gripper, and the output shaft of the third electric telescopic rod drives the beating module forward. The beating module grinds the rust spots. During grinding, the peripheral dust removal device is used to remove debris. After grinding, a secondary inspection is carried out until the full length of the pipe is inspected. At this time, the transport and correction assembly returns to the initial position, and the control system controls the pipe clamping assembly to disconnect the clamping of the pipe and lift it up to reset. The loading assembly further drives the qualified pipe to lift up so that the pipe falls on the feeding device. The feeding device transports the pipe to the feeding clamp, and the feeding clamp sends the pipe to the processing equipment, thereby completing the transportation and inspection and correction of the entire pipe.

[0015] Furthermore, a plurality of straight grooves are provided on one side of the adjusting member, a first upper inclined groove is provided on one side of the straight groove, a first lower inclined groove or a second upper inclined groove is provided on the other side of the straight groove, a plurality of curved grooves are provided on the other side of the adjusting member, a second lower inclined groove is provided on one side of the curved groove, and a bending detection device is installed on the adjusting member, the bending detection device is located corresponding to the straight groove, and the curved groove is concentric with the adjusting member;

[0016] Initial mode: the first transmission pin is located at the middle node of the first upper inclined slot, and the second transmission pin is located at the middle node of the second lower inclined slot;

[0017] Curvature detection mode: The first transmission pin is slidably connected to the straight slot, and the second transmission pin is located at the connection node of the curved slot and the second lower inclined slot;

[0018] Straightening mode: the first transmission pin is slidably connected to the first lower inclined groove or the second upper inclined groove, and the second transmission pin is slidably connected to the curved groove;

[0019] Rust detection mode: the first transmission pin is slidably connected to the first upper inclined groove, and the second transmission pin is slidably connected to the second lower inclined groove.

[0020] When the adjusting member rotates, it drives the first transmission pin to rotate. Since the first transmission pin is mounted on the first transmission rod, and the first transmission rod is slidably mounted on the second bracket, the first transmission pin converts the rotation into driving the first transmission rod to slide linearly on the second bracket. Similarly, when the adjusting member rotates, it synchronously drives the second transmission rod to slide linearly on the first bracket.

[0021] In the initial mode, the concave measuring wheel and the curved detection piece cannot come into contact with the pipe;

[0022] In the bending detection mode, the adjusting member rotates to make the first upper inclined slot slide away from the first transmission pin until the first transmission pin is located in the straight slot. During this process, the first transmission pin drives the first transmission rod to slide and approach each other. Finally, the first transmission rod drives the concave measuring wheel to fit the pipe, and the bending detection device on the adjusting member is aligned with the first contact on the first transmission rod. At the same time, the second lower inclined slot slides away from the second transmission pin. During this process, the second transmission pin drives the second transmission rod to move away from each other, and the second transmission rod drives the arc detection piece away from the pipe.

[0023] In the straightening mode, the adjusting member rotates so that the first transmission pin at the highest point on the sliding ring is located in the first lower inclined groove. At the same time, the other first transmission pins are located in the second upper inclined groove. As the adjusting member gradually rotates, the first transmission pin at the highest point drives the corresponding concave measuring wheel to move closer to the pipe and squeeze the pipe. Under the squeezing, the pipe will produce a reverse bend, so that after the pipe rebounds, the reverse bend and the previous deformation bend are offset, and the pipe is gradually straightened. By rotating the adjusting member at different angles in the straightening mode, the concave detection wheel at the highest point can produce different downward displacements according to the bending degree of the pipe, thereby achieving different degrees of straightening. The other first transmission pins drive the corresponding concave measuring wheels away from the pipe. Since the curved groove is concentric with the adjusting member, the second transmission pin will not be displaced under the action of the curved groove as the adjusting member rotates;

[0024] In the rust spot detection mode, the adjusting part rotates so that the second transmission pin is located at the end of the second lower inclined groove. During this process, the second transmission pin drives the second transmission rod to approach the pipe, and finally the second transmission rod drives the arc-shaped detection piece to fit the pipe. At the same time, the first transmission pin is located at the end of the first upper inclined groove, and the first transmission pin drives the concave measuring wheel away from the pipe.

[0025] Furthermore, the bending detection device includes a first shell, which is installed on the adjusting member. A pressure plate and a force transmission plate are slidably installed in the first shell, a first piezoelectric element is installed between the pressure plate and the first shell, a compression chamber is formed between the pressure plate and the force transmission plate, and a compression medium is provided in the compression chamber.

[0026] Furthermore, the pipe clamping assembly includes an electric lifting column, a first connecting part is installed on the output shaft of the electric lifting column, a screw rod is rotatably installed between the first connecting parts, the screw rod is provided with a thread, a guide rod is installed between the first connecting parts, a second motor is installed on the first connecting part, the output shaft of the second motor passes through the first connecting part and is connected to the screw rod, the sliding ring is threadedly connected to the screw rod, the sliding ring is slidably connected to the guide rod, a first electric telescopic rod is installed on the first connecting part, a first motor is installed on the output shaft of the first electric telescopic rod, and an electric clamp is installed on the output shaft of the first motor.

[0027] The control system turns on the electric lifting column, and the output shaft of the electric lifting column drives the first electric telescopic rod to descend. When the electric gripper is aligned with the two ends of the pipe, it stops. Then the first electric telescopic rod is turned on, and the output shaft of the first electric telescopic rod drives the first motor to extend, so that the electric gripper passes through the hole in the middle of the adjusting part and is against the two ends of the pipe. The control system controls the electric gripper to clamp the pipe and fix it. Then the second motor is started, and the output shaft of the second motor drives the screw to rotate. According to the operating principle of the screw, the screw rotates and drives the transport correction assembly to slide along the guide rod.

[0028] Furthermore, the feeding assembly includes a transmission main rod, a feeding belt, a guide wheel and a winding motor. The transmission main rod is rotatably installed on the bracket, the winding motor output shaft is connected to the transmission main rod, the winding motor is installed on the bracket, and several winding wheels are installed on the transmission main rod. The guide wheel is installed on one side of the pipe silo. One end of the feeding belt is connected to the pipe silo, and the other end of the feeding belt passes through the guide wheel and is connected to the winding wheel.

[0029] Put the pipe into the pipe hopper, and the control system starts the winding motor. The output shaft of the winding motor drives the winding wheel to rotate through the transmission main rod. The rotation of the winding wheel tightens the feeding belt, and the feeding belt drives the pipe to be lifted up while tightening. When the pipe is lifted to the preset height, the control system starts the pipe clamping assembly.

[0030] Furthermore, the concave measuring wheel adopts a concave design, and the groove of the concave measuring wheel is used to fit the curved surface of the pipe.

[0031] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0032] 1. Use the adjustment part to adjust the transport correction assembly to the curvature detection mode. The deformation of the pipe is converted into the displacement of the first transmission rod through the concave measuring wheel. The first transmission rod converts the displacement into an extrusion force on the first piezoelectric element through the first contact. The first piezoelectric element converts the extrusion force into a recognizable electrical signal. The control system determines the degree of deformation of the pipe based on the strength of the electrical signal, thereby achieving the purpose of pipe curvature detection.

[0033] 2. The control system adjusts the transport straightening assembly to straightening mode through the adjustment part. According to the degree of deformation and bending of the pipe, the concave measuring wheel at the highest point is adjusted to produce a corresponding degree of downward displacement. The pipe clamping assembly cooperates with the pipe to roll the curved area of ​​the pipe back and forth until the bending degree after detection meets the production requirements, thereby achieving the purpose of straightening the pipe. During the straightening process, the output shaft of the first electric telescopic rod drives the electric gripper to retract an appropriate amount, and the electric gripper performs an appropriate amount of stretching on both ends of the pipe, so that the two ends of the pipe can be straightened more quickly under the action of tension.

[0034] 3. Use the adjustment piece to adjust the transport correction component to the rust detection mode. Use the arc-shaped detection piece to convert the friction between it and the pipe surface into the displacement of the conductive piece. The conductive piece converts the displacement into the deflection of the measuring rod. The measuring rod converts the deflection into squeezing the second piezoelectric element. The second piezoelectric element converts the pressure into an electrical signal and inputs it into the control system. The control system determines whether there is rust on the pipe surface based on the change in the electrical signal, thereby achieving the purpose of detecting rust on the pipe surface.

[0035] 4. Use the pipe clamping assembly to clamp and fix both ends of the pipe to keep the pipe stable during inspection. Use the screw rod to drive the transport correction assembly to slide, so that the transport correction assembly can inspect and correct the entire length of the pipe.

[0036] 5. When rust spots are detected on the surface of the pipe, the control system adjusts the transport correction component to the initial mode through the adjustment part, and uses the pipe clamping component and the rust removal component to cooperate with each other to rotate and grind the rust spots, thereby achieving the purpose of rust removal.

[0037] 6. Use the loading assembly to lift the pipes in the pipe silo to reach the inspection height. After the inspection and correction are completed, the pipes are further transported to the conveying device to realize the feeding of the pipes.

[0038] 7. The second electric telescopic rod is used to drive the adjustment and rotation of different angles. The adjustment part can quickly switch the transport correction component between the bending detection mode, straightening mode and rust detection mode through changes in different angles, making the detection and correction of pipes faster.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0054] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. 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 making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0055] like Figures 1-14As shown, the present invention provides a technical solution for a pipe conveying device with an anti-deviation function: it includes a bracket 4, a pipe clamping assembly 3 is provided on one side of the bracket 4, a transport correction assembly 2 is rotatably installed on the pipe clamping assembly 3, a loading assembly 7 is installed on the bracket 4, a feeding clamp 5 is installed on the bracket 4, a feeding device 6 is installed on the bracket 4, and a pipe silo 1 is installed on the bracket 4; the transport correction assembly 2 includes a sliding ring 21 and a plurality of second electric telescopic rods 26, the sliding ring 21 is slidably connected to the pipe clamping assembly 3, and the sliding An adjusting member 22 is rotatably mounted on the ring 21, one end of a second electric telescopic rod 26 is rotatably connected to the sliding ring 21, and an output shaft of the second electric telescopic rod 26 is rotatably connected to the adjusting member 22. A first bracket 23 is mounted on one side of the sliding ring 21, and a second bracket 28 is mounted on the other side of the sliding ring 21; the first bracket 23 includes a plurality of second connecting members 233, the second connecting members 233 are mounted on the sliding ring 21, sliding collars 232 are mounted between the second connecting members 233, and straight rods 231 are mounted between the sliding collars 232.

[0056] The pipe conveying device is externally connected to a control cabinet, which is equipped with a control system for controlling the entire pipe conveying device.

[0057] The feeding assembly 7 includes a transmission main rod 73, a feeding belt 71, a guide wheel 74 and a winding motor. The transmission main rod 73 is rotatably installed on the bracket 4, and the winding motor output shaft is connected to the transmission main rod 73. The winding motor is installed on the bracket 4. Several winding wheels 72 are installed on the transmission main rod 73. The guide wheel 74 is installed on one side of the pipe silo 1. One end of the feeding belt 71 is connected to the pipe silo 1, and the other end of the feeding belt 71 passes through the guide wheel 74 and is connected to the winding wheel 72.

[0058] One side of the adjusting member 22 is provided with a plurality of straight slots 225, one side of which is provided with a first upper inclined slot 223, and the other side of the straight slot 225 is provided with a first lower inclined slot 222 or a second upper inclined slot 224. The other side of the adjusting member 22 is provided with a plurality of curved slots 227, one side of which is provided with a second lower inclined slot 226. A bending detection device 221 is mounted on the adjusting member 22, and the bending detection device 221 is located corresponding to the straight slot 225. The curved slot 227 is concentric with the adjusting member 22.

[0059] Initial mode: the first transmission pin 274 is located at the middle node of the first upper inclined slot 223, and the second transmission pin 252 is located at the middle node of the second lower inclined slot 226;

[0060] Curvature detection mode: the first transmission pin 274 is slidably connected to the straight slot 225, and the second transmission pin 252 is located at the connection node between the curved slot 227 and the second lower inclined slot 226;

[0061] Straightening mode: the first transmission pin 274 is slidably connected to the first lower inclined groove 222 or the second upper inclined groove 224 , and the second transmission pin 252 is slidably connected to the curved groove 227 ;

[0062] Rust detection mode: the first transmission pin 274 is slidably connected to the first upper inclined groove 223 , and the second transmission pin 252 is slidably connected to the second lower inclined groove 226 .

[0063] When the adjusting member 22 rotates, it drives the first transmission pin 274 to rotate. Since the first transmission pin 274 is mounted on the first transmission rod 272, and the first transmission rod 272 is slidably mounted on the second bracket 28, the first transmission pin 274 converts the rotation into driving the first transmission rod 272 to slide linearly on the second bracket 28. Similarly, when the adjusting member 22 rotates, it synchronously drives the second transmission rod 251 to slide linearly on the first bracket 23.

[0064] In the initial mode, neither the concave measuring wheel 273 nor the arc-shaped detecting piece 253 can come into contact with the pipe;

[0065] In the bending detection mode, the adjusting member 22 rotates, causing the first upper inclined slot 223 to slide away from the first transmission pin 274 until the first transmission pin 274 is located in the straight slot 225. During this process, the first transmission pin 274 drives the first transmission rod 272 to slide and approach each other. Finally, the first transmission rod 272 drives the concave measuring wheel 273 to fit the pipe, and the bending detection device 221 on the adjusting member 22 is aligned with the first contact 275 on the first transmission rod 272. At the same time, the second lower inclined slot 226 slides away from the second transmission pin 252. During this process, the second transmission pin 252 drives the second transmission rod 251 to move away from each other, and the second transmission rod 251 drives the arc detection piece 253 away from the pipe.

[0066] In the straightening mode, the adjusting member 22 rotates so that the first transmission pin 274 at the highest point on the sliding ring 21 is located in the first lower inclined groove 222. At the same time, the other first transmission pins 274 are located in the second upper inclined groove 224. As the adjusting member 22 gradually rotates, the first transmission pin 274 at the highest point drives the corresponding concave measuring wheel 273 to move closer to the pipe and squeeze the pipe. Under the squeezing, the pipe will bend in the opposite direction. After the pipe rebounds, the reverse bending and the previous deformation bend are offset, and the pipe is gradually straightened. By rotating the adjusting member 22 at different angles in the straightening mode, the concave detection wheel at the highest point can produce different downward displacements according to the bending degree of the pipe, thereby achieving different degrees of straightening. The other first transmission pins 274 drive the corresponding concave measuring wheel 273 away from the pipe. Since the curved groove 227 is concentric with the adjusting member 22, the second transmission pin 252 will not be displaced under the action of the curved groove 227 as the adjusting member 22 rotates.

The arc-shaped detection piece 253 is slidably installed on the detection slide 2541 through the sliding block 2531.

[0074] The rust detection assembly 25 also includes a measuring rod 256, which is rotationally symmetrical and rotatably installed in the second shell 254. The measuring rods 256 form an angle with each other. A rotating piece 2561 is provided at one end of the measuring rod 256, and a second contact 2562 is provided on the rotating piece 2561. A circular chamfer 2563 is provided on one side of the measuring rod 256. The side of the measuring rod 256 with the circular chamfer 2563 is engaged with the semicircular groove 2533. A second spring 255 is installed between the measuring rod 256 and the second shell 254. The position of the second contact 2562 corresponds to the position of the second piezoelectric element 257.

[0075] The working principle of the present invention is: the pipe is placed in the pipe silo 1, the control system starts the winding motor, the output shaft of the winding motor drives the winding wheel 72 to rotate through the transmission main rod 73, the rotation of the winding wheel 72 tightens the feeding belt 71, and the feeding belt 71 drives the pipe to be lifted up while tightening. When the pipe is lifted to a preset height, the control system starts the pipe clamping component 3.

[0076] The control system turns on the electric lifting column 31, and the output shaft of the electric lifting column 31 drives the first electric telescopic rod 36 to descend. When the electric gripper 37 is aligned with the two ends of the pipe, it stops, and then the first electric telescopic rod 36 is turned on. The output shaft of the first electric telescopic rod 36 drives the first motor 35 to extend, so that the electric gripper 37 passes through the hole in the middle of the adjusting member 22 and abuts against the two ends of the pipe. The control system controls the electric gripper 37 to clamp and fix the pipe, and then starts the second motor 38. The output shaft of the second motor 38 drives the screw rod 34 to rotate. According to the operating principle of the screw rod 34, the screw rod 34 rotates and drives the transport correction component 2 to slide along the guide rod 33.

[0077] When the transport correction component 2 slides to the end of the pipe, the control system turns on the second electric telescopic rod 26. The output shaft of the second electric telescopic rod 26 drives the adjusting member 22 to rotate on the sliding ring 21. The adjusting member 22 adjusts the transport correction component 2 to the curvature detection mode, so that the concave measuring wheel 273 fits the pipe, and the screw rod 34 drives the transport correction component 2 to slide. When the pipe is bent and deformed, the curved arched part will squeeze the sliding concave measuring wheel 273. After the concave measuring wheel 273 is compressed, it drives the first transmission rod 272 to overcome the elastic force of the first spring 271 and slide in the opposite direction. The first transmission rod 272 drives the first contact 275 to slide and squeeze the force transmission plate 2 214, the force transmission plate 2214 squeezes the compressed medium in the compression chamber 2215, and the pressure in the compression chamber 2215 increases. The pressure plate 2213 squeezes the first piezoelectric element 2212 under the action of pressure. The first piezoelectric element 2212 is compressed to generate electric charge, and the charge is transmitted to the control system through the wire. When the degree of bending deformation of the pipe is large, the displacement of the first transmission rod 272 will increase, and the pressure of the first contact 275 on the force transmission plate 2214 will increase accordingly. Finally, the charge of the first piezoelectric element 2212 will increase. The control system judges the degree of deformation of the pipe according to the strength of the electrical signal, thereby achieving the purpose of detecting the bending degree of the pipe.

[0078] When it is detected that the pipe has a bending deformation beyond the specified range, the control system adjusts the transport correction component 2 to the straightening mode through the adjustment part 22, and adjusts the highest concave measuring wheel 273 to produce a corresponding degree of downward displacement according to the deformation and bending degree of the pipe. The control system cyclically changes the rotation direction of the output shaft of the second motor 38, driving the screw 34 to rotate back and forth, so that the concave measuring wheel 273 on the transport correction component 2 rolls back and forth on the bending area of ​​the pipe until the bending degree after detection meets the production requirements, thereby achieving the purpose of straightening the pipe; during the straightening process, the output shaft of the first electric telescopic rod 36 drives the electric gripper 37 to retract an appropriate amount, and the electric gripper 37 performs an appropriate amount of stretching at both ends of the pipe, so that the two ends of the pipe are straightened more quickly under the action of tension.

[0079] When the pipe curvature detection and straightening are completed, the control system controls the screw rod 34 to rotate in the opposite direction, causing the transport correction component 2 to slide in the opposite direction. The adjustment part 22 adjusts the transport correction component 2 to the rust detection mode. The arc detection piece 253 generates friction when sliding on the surface of the pipe. Under the action of the friction, the arc detection piece 253 is displaced relative to the second shell 254. The conductive piece on the arc detection piece 253 is displaced and squeezes the measuring rod 256. After being squeezed, the measuring rod 256 overcomes the elastic force of the second spring 255 and rotates. The measuring rod 256 drives the second contact 2562 to rotate. The second probe squeezes the second piezoelectric element 257 in the diaphragm 258, and the second piezoelectric element 257 outputs an electrical signal to the control system. When there are rust spots on the surface of the pipe, the friction between the arc detection piece 253 and the pipe surface will suddenly change. The change in friction force causes the displacement of the arc detection piece 253 to change, and the extrusion force generated by the conductive piece on the measuring rod 256 changes, and the deflection angle of the measuring rod 256 changes, which ultimately changes the electrical signal generated by the second piezoelectric element 257. The control system determines whether there are rust spots on the pipe surface based on the change in the electrical signal, thereby achieving the purpose of detecting rust spots on the pipe surface.

[0080] When rust spots are detected on the surface of the pipe, the control system adjusts the transport and correction component 2 to the initial mode through the adjustment part 22, and turns on the first motor 35 and the third electric telescopic rod 241. The first motor 35 drives the pipe to rotate through the electric gripper 37, and the output shaft of the third electric telescopic rod 241 drives the beating module to extend forward. The beating module grinds the rust spots. During grinding, it cooperates with the external dust removal device to remove the debris. After grinding, a secondary inspection is carried out until the full length of the pipe is inspected. At this time, the transport and correction component 2 returns to the initial position, and the control system controls the pipe clamping component 3 to disconnect the clamping of the pipe and lift it up and reset it. The loading component 7 further drives the qualified pipe to lift up, so that the pipe falls on the feeding device 6. The feeding device 6 transports the pipe to the feeding clamp 5, and the feeding clamp 5 sends the pipe to the processing equipment, thereby completing the transportation and inspection and correction of the entire pipe.
