The existing semi-automatic pipe material separation and feeding device is relatively complicated, and the pipe is prone to multiple collisions during movement, which will cause damage to the pipe. In addition, due to the serious collisions during the separation and feeding process, a large noise will be generated. Summary of the invention

[0003] Based on this, a pipe material dividing and feeding device is provided. The device has a simple structure, the pipes have fewer collisions during the material dividing and feeding process, and the whole process has low noise.

[0004] A pipe material distributing and feeding device comprises a frame, a pipe conveying line is arranged on the frame, a lifting assembly is arranged on one side of the pipe conveying line, a linear conveying assembly is arranged on the other side of the pipe conveying line, a single-tube transfer unit is arranged on the linear conveying assembly, and the linear conveying assembly is used to drive the single-tube transfer unit to perform linear reciprocating motion.

[0005] The single-tube transport unit has a blocking portion and a blocking position.

[0006] When the single-tube transport unit is located at the blocking position, the single-tube transport unit is misaligned with the lifting assembly, the blocking portion is used to block a pipe and make the pipe stay at the lifting assembly, and the lifting assembly is used to cause the pipe thereon to rise so that the height of the pipe is higher than the height of the blocking portion.

[0007] The single-tube transfer unit has a receiving position. After the single-tube transfer unit moves to the receiving position, the lifting assembly descends, so that the pipe on the lifting assembly lands on the single-tube transfer unit and is supported by the single-tube transfer unit.

[0008] In one of the embodiments, the single-tube transfer unit also has a feeding position. When the single-tube transfer unit receives a tube at the receiving position, the linear conveying component moves the single-tube transfer unit to the feeding position.

[0009] In one embodiment, the frame includes two columns arranged at intervals, a bottom crossbeam arranged between the two columns, an upper crossbeam arranged at the top ends of the two columns, and a plurality of connecting columns arranged between the bottom crossbeam and the upper crossbeam.

[0010] In one embodiment, the pipe conveying line includes a chain conveying assembly and a driving assembly connected to the chain conveying assembly, the chain conveying assembly is arranged on the upper cross beam, the chain conveying assembly includes two sprockets and a chain installed between the two sprockets, and a U-shaped plate is arranged on the chain.

[0011] In one embodiment, the lifting assembly includes a lifting cylinder and a material dividing V-shaped plate connected to the lifting cylinder.

[0012] In one of the embodiments, a buffer layer is provided on the top surface of the material dividing V-shaped plate.

[0013] In one of the embodiments, one end of the material dividing V-shaped plate is a pipe entry end, and a baffle extending downward is provided at the pipe entry end, and the other end of the material dividing V-shaped plate is provided with a material baffle extending upward.

[0017] A pipe material dividing and feeding system comprises the pipe material dividing and feeding device, wherein the number of the pipe material dividing and feeding devices is at least 2 and each pipe material dividing and feeding device is arranged side by side and spaced apart.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this application are:

[0019] 1. The single-tube transfer unit of the present application has a blocking portion and a blocking position. When the single-tube transfer unit is located at the blocking position, the single-tube transfer unit is misaligned with the lifting assembly. The blocking portion blocks a pipe and makes the pipe stay at the lifting assembly. The lifting assembly then lifts the pipe on it so that the height of the pipe is higher than the height of the blocking portion. Then, after the single-tube transfer unit moves to the receiving position, the lifting assembly descends so that the pipe on the lifting assembly lands on the single-tube transfer unit and is supported by the single-tube transfer unit. Then, the single-tube transfer unit transports the single pipe on it forward. In the process of separating a pipe, the present application has few and slight collisions, and the whole process has low noise. For pipes such as square pipes, the pipes will not flip over during the material separation and loading process, the noise is very low, and the pipes are not easily damaged.

[0020] 2. The device of the present application is compatible with pipes of various shapes, and can also divide and load special-shaped pipes smoothly and with low noise.

[0021] 3. The device of the present application is compatible with the distribution and loading of pipes of various sizes. It only needs to adjust the offset distance between the single-pipe transfer unit and the lifting assembly to adapt to pipes of different sizes.

[0022] 4. The frame includes two columns arranged at intervals, a bottom crossbeam arranged between the two columns, an upper crossbeam arranged at the top of the two columns, and a plurality of connecting columns arranged between the bottom crossbeam and the upper crossbeam. The lifting assembly and the single-tube transfer unit are respectively located on both sides of the frame. The overall structure of the device of the present application is compact and occupies a small space.

[0023] 5. The pipe material distribution and feeding device of the present application is generally used in combination, that is, multiple pipe material distribution and feeding devices of the present application are arranged in parallel to transport the pipes together. When placing each pipe, some pipes may not be placed in a standard manner, and the pipes may be tilted. However, since the present application uses multiple devices in combination, the tilted pipes will be pressed against the blocking parts of the single-tube transfer units of each device one by one, which corrects the pipes. When the pipes are pressed against the blocking parts of all the single-tube transfer units, the position of the pipes is corrected. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0039] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a pipe material distributing and loading device, which includes a frame 110, a pipe material conveying line 120 is arranged on the frame 110, a lifting assembly 130 is arranged on one side of the pipe material conveying line 120, a linear conveying assembly 140 is arranged on the other side of the pipe material conveying line 120, a single-tube transfer unit 150 is arranged on the linear conveying assembly 140, and the linear conveying assembly 140 is used to drive the single-tube transfer unit 150 to perform linear reciprocating motion, and the single-tube transfer unit 150 has a blocking portion 151 and a blocking position, and the single-tube transfer unit 150 When located at the blocking position, the single-tube transfer unit 150 is misaligned with the lifting assembly 130, the blocking portion 151 is used to block a pipe 300 and make the pipe 300 stay at the lifting assembly 130, the lifting assembly 130 is used to cause the pipe 300 thereon to rise, so that the height of the pipe 300 is higher than the height of the blocking portion 151, and the single-tube transfer unit 150 has a receiving position. After the single-tube transfer unit 150 moves to the receiving position, the lifting assembly 130 descends, so that the pipe 300 on the lifting assembly 130 lands on the single-tube transfer unit 150 and is supported by the single-tube transfer unit 150.

[0041] It should be noted that if Figure 7 As shown, the above-mentioned pipe material dividing and feeding devices of the present application are generally used in multiples at the same time, and each pipe material dividing and feeding device is arranged side by side at intervals. For example, two or three of the above-mentioned pipe material dividing and feeding devices of the present application can be arranged side by side at intervals, and the pipe 300 is supported and transported by each device at the same time.

[0042] Specifically, at the blocking position, a space of the width of a pipe 300 is left between the blocking portion 151 of the single-tube transport unit 150 and the corresponding end of the lifting assembly 130. In this way, one pipe 300 can be blocked and the lifting assembly 130 can only lift one pipe 300 at a time.

[0043] Specifically, Figures 3 to 6As shown, when the device of the present application is working, a plurality of pipes 300 are placed on the pipe conveying line 120 at intervals, and a pipe 300 arranged at the first position is first blocked by the blocking portion 151 of the single-tube transfer unit 150. After the pipe 300 is blocked, the pipe 300 stays at the lifting assembly 130, and the pipe conveying line 120 stops moving. Then, the lifting assembly 130 causes the pipe 300 thereon to rise, so that the height of the pipe 300 is higher than the height of the blocking portion 151. After the single-tube transfer unit 150 moves backward to the receiving position, the lifting assembly 130 descends, so that the pipe 300 on the lifting assembly 130 lands on the single-tube transfer unit 150 and is supported by the single-tube transfer unit 150. Then, the single-tube transfer unit 150 conveys the pipe 300 thereon forward. When there is no pipe 300 on the single-tube transport unit 150, the single-tube transport unit 150 moves backward to the blocking position. At this time, the single-tube transport unit 150 is misaligned with the lifting assembly 130, and the pipe conveying line 120 continues to move, so that another pipe 300 moves forward and is blocked by the blocking part 151 of the single-tube transport unit 150. According to the above method, each pipe 300 can be separated one by one and conveyed forward.

[0044] In one embodiment, the single-tube transfer unit 150 also has a feeding position. When the single-tube transfer unit 150 receives a tube 300 at the receiving position, the linear conveying component 140 moves the single-tube transfer unit 150 to the feeding position.

[0045] Specifically, after the single-tube transfer unit 150 receives a tube 300 at the receiving position, the linear conveying component 140 moves the single-tube transfer unit 150 forward so that the single-tube transfer unit 150 moves to the feeding position. At the feeding position, the tube 300 on the single-tube transfer unit 150 can be transferred.

[0046] In one embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown, the frame 110 includes two spaced-apart columns 111 , a bottom crossbeam 112 disposed between the two columns 111 , an upper crossbeam 113 disposed at the top ends of the two columns 111 , and a plurality of connecting columns 114 disposed between the bottom crossbeam 112 and the upper crossbeam 113 .

[0047] Specifically, the frame 110 has a simple overall structure and is easy to install and maintain.

[0048] In one embodiment, if Figure 1As shown, the pipe conveying line 120 includes a chain 121 conveying assembly and a driving assembly connected to the chain 121 conveying assembly, the chain 121 conveying assembly is arranged on the upper cross beam 113, the chain 121 conveying assembly includes two sprockets and a chain 121 installed between the two sprockets, a U-shaped plate 122 is arranged on the chain 121, and two side plates of the U-shaped plate 122 are provided with holes for the pin shaft on the chain 121 to pass through.

[0049] Specifically, the driving assembly may be composed of a motor assembly, which is used to drive one of the sprockets to rotate, thereby driving the chain 121 to rotate. A U-shaped plate 122 is provided on each link of the chain 121. The pipe 300 is supported by the U-shaped plate 122. A plurality of holes are provided on the plate surface of each U-shaped plate 122 for contacting the pipe 300, so that it is convenient to install a rubber pad on the U-shaped plate 122, and the rubber pad can reduce the friction of the pipe 300.

[0050] In one embodiment, if Figure 2 As shown, the lifting assembly 130 includes a lifting cylinder 131 and a material dividing V-shaped plate 132 connected to the lifting cylinder 131.

[0051] In one embodiment, a buffer layer 135 is disposed on the top surface of the material dividing V-shaped plate 132 .

[0052] Specifically, the buffer layer 135 may be made of a material having a buffering effect, such as a nylon block, etc. The buffer layer 135 is helpful to further reduce noise.

[0054] Specifically, the height of the blocking portion 134 is higher than the height of the entrance end of the pipe 300. A buffer layer such as a nylon block may also be provided on the blocking portion 134. For a circular tube, the circular tube may roll during the ascending process of the material dividing V-shaped plate 132, and the blocking portion 134 is used to block the circular tube.

[0055] Specifically, during the ascending process of the material dividing V-shaped plate 132 , the baffle 133 can block the subsequent pipes from moving forward, so as to prevent the subsequent pipes from interfering with the descending of the material dividing V-shaped plate 132 .

[0056] In one of the embodiments, the offset distance between the single-tube transport unit 150 and the lifting assembly 130 is adjusted to accommodate pipes 300 of different sizes.

[0057] Specifically, when the size of the pipe 300 becomes larger, the offset distance between the single-tube transfer unit 150 and the lifting assembly 130 can be increased, so that the larger pipes 300 can be divided and loaded.

[0058] In one embodiment, the linear conveying assembly 140 includes a slide rail assembly arranged on the frame 110, a feed plate 141 arranged on the slide rail assembly, a rack 142 arranged at the lower end of the feed plate 141, a transmission gear 143 meshed with the rack 142, a driving gear 144 meshed with the transmission gear 143, and a driving motor 145 connected to the driving gear 144.

[0059] Specifically, the driving motor 145 drives the driving gear 144 to rotate, the driving gear 144 drives the transmission gear 143 to rotate, the rotating gear drives the rack 142 to move, and the rack 142 drives the feeding plate 141 to move together. The feeding plate 141 drives the single-tube transfer unit 150 to move together.

[0060] In one embodiment, the single-tube transfer unit 150 includes a plate body 152 installed on the feeding plate 141, the top of the plate body 152 is provided with a V-shaped groove, a buffer layer 153 is provided in the V-shaped groove, and a side wall of the plate body 152 forms the blocking part 151, and the buffer layer 153 is provided at the blocking part 151.

[0061] Specifically, the buffer layer 153 may be made of materials such as nylon blocks, etc. The buffer layer 153 may further reduce noise.

[0062] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present invention, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the invention patent. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
