Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of pipe transfer equipment, in particular to a truss transport device. Background Art

[0002] In modern industrial production processes, especially between pipe slitting and subsequent processing, efficient and accurate pipe transfer is the key to ensuring the continuity and efficiency of the entire production chain. Traditional pipe transfer methods mostly rely on manual handling or the use of simple mechanical conveying devices. These methods are inefficient in the connection process between pipe slitting equipment and pipe processing equipment. Specifically, on the one hand, manual handling is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also poses safety hazards when handling pipes, which can easily lead to industrial accidents. At the same time, errors in manual operation may also cause damage to pipes during transfer, affecting the quality of subsequent processing. On the other hand, although simple mechanical conveying devices can realize the automated transfer of pipes to a certain extent, their adaptability and flexibility are limited, and they often cannot meet the transfer requirements of pipes of different specifications, especially when the pipes enter the processing flow immediately after slitting, and the requirements for transfer speed and accuracy are higher.

[0003] Therefore, in order to meet the demand for pipe transfer between pipe slitting and processing equipment, it is crucial to develop a truss transport device that can transfer pipes efficiently, accurately and flexibly. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] In order to facilitate the understanding of the present invention, the present invention is described more fully below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The accompanying drawings provide preferred embodiments of the present invention. However, the present invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. The purpose of providing these embodiments is to make the disclosure of the present invention more thoroughly and comprehensively understood.

[0020] See attached Figure 1-7As shown, in this embodiment, a truss transport device is used as an outlet for pipe slitting and processing and a pipe transfer function between subsequent processing equipment, specifically including a directional extended slide 1, a horizontal lifting clamping mechanism 2 slidably connected to the slide 1, and two sets of fixed clamping mechanisms 3 respectively fixed on both sides of the head of the slide 1. Through the coordinated operation of each mechanism, the functions of receiving, clamping, and transporting the pipe are realized.

[0021] In this embodiment, each group of the fixed clamping mechanism 3 includes a fixed support seat 31, a fixed mounting seat 32 which is directional and slidably connected to the top surface of the fixed support seat 31, at least two first clamping jaws 33 arranged on the top surface of the fixed mounting seat 32, and a pipe drive assembly 36 for driving the fixed mounting seat 32 to perform directional translation relative to the fixed support seat 31. The pipe drive assembly 36 drives the fixed mounting seat 32 to translate so that each first clamping jaw 33 successively receives and clamps the pipe fittings delivered. Specifically, a slide rail parallel to the length direction of the slideway 1 is provided on the top surface of the fixed support seat 31, and correspondingly, a slider slidably connected to the slide rail is provided on the bottom surface of the fixed mounting seat 32. Therefore, by means of the sliding cooperation between the slide rail and the slider, the fixed mounting seat 32 drives each first clamping jaw 33 to translate back and forth synchronously under the drive of the pipe drive assembly 36. Based on this, with reference to the accompanying drawings, the pipe connecting drive assembly 36 drives the fixed mounting seat 32 and each first clamp 33 to translate synchronously to the left, so that the rightmost first clamp 33 moves to the lower position of the preset outlet platform to receive the first pipe that has rolled down (at this time, the first clamp 33 clamps the pipe after it has rolled into place to avoid slipping during the subsequent translation process). Next, the pipe connecting drive assembly 36 drives the fixed mounting seat 32 and each first clamp 33 to translate synchronously to the right, so that the second first clamp 33 moves to the lower position of the preset outlet platform to receive the second pipe that has rolled down (at this time, the first clamp 33 clamps the pipe after it has rolled into place to avoid slipping during the subsequent translation process). This is repeated until all the first clamps 33 have moved and received a pipe, so that multiple pipes are cached at the fixed clamping mechanism 3.

[0022] In this embodiment, in order to realize the synchronous translation of the two groups of fixed clamping mechanisms 3, a synchronous connecting plate 35 is provided between the two fixed mounting seats 32 of the two groups of fixed clamping mechanisms 3, and the two groups of fixed clamping mechanisms 3 share a pipe drive assembly 36. Specifically, the pipe drive assembly 36 includes a first drive unit and a second drive unit arranged oppositely. Among them, the first drive unit is fixed on the fixed bracket seat 31, and the second drive unit is fixed on the synchronous connecting plate 35, and the telescopic end of the first drive unit is connected to the telescopic end of the second drive unit. When the first drive unit or the second drive unit is working, the synchronous connecting plate 35 can be driven to drive the two fixed mounting seats 32 to translate synchronously, thereby realizing the synchronous action of the two groups of fixed clamping mechanisms 3; in addition, the short-stroke dual-drive mode composed of the first drive unit and the second drive unit can greatly increase the movable stroke of the fixed mounting seat 32, and does not need to use a long-stroke drive member, which effectively reduces the production cost.

[0023] In this embodiment, the horizontal lifting and clamping mechanism 2 is located between two sets of fixed clamping mechanisms 3, wherein the horizontal lifting and clamping mechanism 2 includes a translation support seat 21 slidably connected to the slide 1, a lifting mounting seat 22 vertically slidably connected to the horizontal lifting support seat, at least two second clamping claws 23 arranged on the top surface of the horizontal lifting mounting seat, a feed drive assembly 25 for driving the translation support seat 21 to perform directional translation along the slide 1, and a lifting drive assembly 24 for driving the lifting mounting seat 22 to perform vertical lifting. Each of the second clamps 23 is matched with each of the first clamps 33 one by one, so that the lifting and lowering drive assembly 24 drives the lifting and lowering mounting seat 22 to rise so that each of the second clamps 23 synchronously supports the pipe fittings in each of the first clamps 33 to move upward and exit. Specifically, after each of the first clamps 33 receives a pipe fitting, at the same time, the feed drive assembly 25 drives the translation support seat 21, the lifting and lowering mounting seat 22 and each of the second clamps 23 to synchronously move backward to the head position of the slideway 1, and makes each of the second clamps 23 horizontally aligned with each of the first clamps 33 one by one. Then, the lifting drive assembly 24 drives the lifting mount 22 and each second clamp 23 to move upward synchronously, so that each second clamp 23 supports each pipe fitting in the first clamp 33 to move upward one by one, until each pipe fitting completely moves upward and exits the first clamp 33. Finally, the feeding drive assembly 25 drives the translation support seat 21, the lifting mount 22 and each second clamp 23 to continue to move forward synchronously, and after each pipe fitting moves away from the first clamp 33, the lifting drive assembly 24 drives the lifting mount 22, each second clamp 23 and each pipe fitting to move downward synchronously. Thus, the smooth transfer of the pipe fittings is achieved through the horizontal lifting clamping and feeding mechanism 2. At the same time, during the transfer of the pipe fittings, the fixed clamping mechanism 3 repeats the action to receive the next group of new pipe fittings.

[0024] In this embodiment, the feed drive assembly 25 includes a drive rack 11 arranged on the slide 1, a feed drive motor fixed on the translation support seat 21, and a drive gear sleeved on the end of the drive motor and meshed with the drive rack 11. When the feed drive motor is working, the drive gear can be driven to roll on the drive rack 11, thereby driving the translation support seat 21 to translate along the slide 1 in a directional manner.

[0025] In this embodiment, the lifting drive assembly 24 includes two lifting drive units arranged vertically in a stacked manner, wherein the lifting drive unit located at the bottom is fixed on the translation support seat 21 and its telescopic end is connected to the lifting drive unit located at the top, and the telescopic end of the lifting drive unit located at the top is connected to the lifting mounting seat 22. When one or two lifting drive units are working, the lifting mounting seat 22 can be driven to perform vertical lifting movement, thereby driving the second clamping claw 23 to rise or fall. The lifting drive assembly 24 with such a dual-drive structure can greatly increase the movable stroke of the lifting mounting seat 22, and does not need to use a long-stroke driving member, which effectively reduces the production cost.

[0026] In this embodiment, in order to further improve the reliability of receiving and clamping the pipe fittings, the fixed mounting seat 32 is provided with two first positioning seats 34 arranged adjacent to each first clamping jaw 33, and each first positioning seat 34 is formed with a positioning groove with an upward opening. Similarly, the lifting mounting seat 22 is also provided with two second positioning seats arranged adjacent to each second clamping jaw 23, and each second positioning seat 26 is also formed with a positioning groove with an upward opening. These positioning grooves are provided for pipe fittings to be embedded in order to assist in the positioning of the pipe fittings, and are more convenient for the first clamping jaw 33 and the second clamping jaw 23 to accurately position and clamp the pipe fittings. Secondly, the shape of the positioning groove in this embodiment is consistent with the shape of the pipe fitting, so that the inner wall of the positioning groove fits with the outer wall of the embedded part of the pipe fitting, thereby achieving a better positioning effect.

[0027] In summary, the above-mentioned first drive unit, second drive unit, and lifting drive unit can be drive elements such as air cylinders, oil cylinders, and telescopic cylinders. Their structures and principles belong to conventional technical means and will not be elaborated here.

[0028] In summary, the truss transport device provided in this embodiment can realize automatic clamping, transfer and transportation of pipes through the coordinated use of the fixed clamping mechanism 3 and the horizontal lifting clamping and conveying mechanism 2, thereby improving work efficiency and automation. At the same time, by setting driving structures such as the feed drive assembly 25 and the lifting drive assembly 24, the synchronization and coordination between the various components are ensured, making the operation of the entire device more stable and reliable.
