DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] In order to facilitate the understanding of the present application, the present application will be described more fully below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The preferred embodiments of the present application are shown in the drawings. However, the present application can be realized 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 application more thorough and comprehensive.

[0017] Referring to the drawings Figures 1-7 As shown in the drawings, in the present embodiment, a truss transportation device, which serves as a pipe transfer function between the outlet of pipe cutting processing and subsequent processing equipment, specifically includes a directionally extended slide 1, a flat lifting clamping mechanism 2 slidingly connected to the slide 1, and two groups of fixed clamping mechanisms 3 fixed on both sides of the head of the slide 1. Through the coordinated operation of each mechanism, the functions of pipe receiving, clamping, transportation, etc. are realized.

[0018] In the embodiment, each of the fixed clamping mechanisms 3 comprises a fixed support base 31, a fixed mounting seat 32 directionally and slidably connected to the top surface of the fixed support base 31, at least two first clamping jaws 33 arranged on the top surface of the fixed mounting seat 32, and a pipe driving assembly 36 for driving the fixed mounting seat 32 to directionally translate relative to the fixed support base 31. The pipe driving assembly 36 drives the fixed mounting seat 32 to translate so that each of the first clamping jaws 33 sequentially receives and clamps the incoming pipe. Specifically, the top surface of the fixed support base 31 is provided with a sliding rail parallel to the length direction of the chute 1, and the bottom surface of the fixed mounting seat 32 is provided with a sliding block slidably connected to the sliding rail. Thus, the sliding cooperation between the sliding rail and the sliding block enables the fixed mounting seat 32 to drive each of the first clamping jaws 33 to synchronously translate forward and backward under the driving of the pipe driving assembly 36. Based on this, with reference to the drawings, the pipe driving assembly 36 drives the fixed mounting seat 32 and each of the first clamping jaws 33 to synchronously translate to the left, so that the rightmost first clamping jaw 33 moves to a position below the preset exit platform to receive the first pipe that rolls down (at this time, the first clamping jaw 33 clamps the pipe after it is in place to avoid sliding in the subsequent translation process), and then the pipe driving assembly 36 drives the fixed mounting seat 32 and each of the first clamping jaws 33 to synchronously translate to the right, so that the second first clamping jaw 33 moves to a position below the preset exit platform to receive the second pipe that rolls down (at this time, the first clamping jaw 33 clamps the pipe after it is in place to avoid sliding in the subsequent translation process). This process is repeated until all the first clamping jaws 33 move and receive a pipe, so that a plurality of pipes are buffered at the fixed clamping mechanism 3.

[0019] In the embodiment, in order to realize the synchronous translation of the two groups of fixed clamping mechanisms 3, a synchronous connecting plate 35 is arranged 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 one pipe driving assembly 36. Specifically, the pipe driving assembly 36 comprises a first driving unit and a second driving unit arranged opposite to each other. The first driving unit is fixedly arranged on the fixed support base 31, the second driving unit is fixedly arranged on the synchronous connecting plate 35, and the extension end of the first driving unit is connected to the extension end of the second driving unit. When the first driving unit or the second driving unit works, it can drive the synchronous connecting plate 35 to synchronously translate with the two fixed mounting seats 32, so as to realize the synchronous action of the two groups of fixed clamping mechanisms 3. In addition, the short-stroke double-drive mode composed of the first driving unit and the second driving unit can greatly increase the movable stroke of the fixed mounting seat 32, without the need to use a long-stroke driving member, thereby effectively reducing the production manufacturing cost.

[0020] In the embodiment, the flat-lift clamping and conveying mechanism 2 is arranged between the two sets of fixed clamping mechanisms 3, wherein the flat-lift clamping and conveying mechanism 2 comprises a translation bracket base 21 slidably connected to the slide 1, a lifting mounting base 22 vertically slidably connected to the translation bracket base 21, at least two second clamping jaws 23 arranged on the top surface of the lifting mounting base 22, a feeding drive assembly 25 for driving the translation bracket base 21 to move along the slide 1 in a targeted manner, and a lifting drive assembly 24 for driving the lifting mounting base 22 to move vertically. Each of the second clamping jaws 23 is matched with a first clamping jaw 33, so that the lifting mounting base 22 is driven to move upward by the lifting drive assembly 24 to synchronously lift the pipe in each first clamping jaw 33. Specifically, after each first clamping jaw 33 receives a pipe, the feeding drive assembly 25 drives the translation bracket base 21, the lifting mounting base 22 and the second clamping jaws 23 to move backward to the head of the slide 1, and each second clamping jaw 23 is transversely aligned with each first clamping jaw 33. Then, the lifting drive assembly 24 drives the lifting mounting base 22 and the second clamping jaws 23 to move upward, so that each second clamping jaw 23 supports the pipe in each first clamping jaw 33 to move upward until the pipes are completely lifted out of the first clamping jaws 33. Finally, the feeding drive assembly 25 drives the translation bracket base 21, the lifting mounting base 22 and the second clamping jaws 23 to continuously move forward, and the lifting drive assembly 24 drives the lifting mounting base 22, the second clamping jaws 23 and the pipes to move downward after the pipes move away from the first clamping jaws 33. Thus, the flat-lift clamping and conveying mechanism 2 realizes smooth transfer of the pipes, and at the same time, the fixed clamping mechanisms 3 repeatedly act to receive a new set of pipes during the transfer of the pipes.

[0021] In the embodiment, the feeding drive assembly 25 comprises a driving rack 11 arranged on the slide 1, a feeding drive motor fixed to the translation bracket base 21, and a driving gear sleeved on the end of the driving motor and engaged with the driving rack 11. When the feeding drive motor works, the driving gear can roll on the driving rack 11, thereby driving the translation bracket base 21 to move along the slide 1 in a targeted manner.

[0022] In the embodiment, the lifting drive assembly 24 comprises two vertically stacked lifting drive units, wherein the lower lifting drive unit is fixed to the translation bracket base 21 and connected to the upper lifting drive unit at the telescopic end, and the telescopic end of the upper lifting drive unit is connected to the lifting mounting base 22. When one or both of the lifting drive units work, the lifting mounting base 22 can move vertically, thereby driving the second clamping jaws 23 to move upward or downward. The lifting drive assembly 24 composed of two driving units can greatly increase the movable stroke of the lifting mounting base 22, without using a long-stroke driving member, thereby effectively reducing the production cost.

[0023] In the embodiment, in order to further improve the reliability of the pipe receiving and clamping, 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 an open-top positioning groove. Similarly, the lifting mounting seat 22 is also provided with two second positioning seats 26 arranged adjacent to each second clamping jaw 23, and each second positioning seat 26 is also formed with an open-top positioning groove. These positioning grooves are used for embedding the pipe to achieve the effect of auxiliary positioning of the pipe, and more facilitate the precise positioning and clamping operation of the first clamping jaw 33 and the second clamping jaw 23 on the pipe. Secondly, the shape of the positioning groove of the embodiment is consistent with the shape of the pipe, so that the inner wall of the positioning groove is in close contact with the partial outer wall of the embedded pipe, and better positioning effect is achieved.

[0024] In summary, the first driving unit, the second driving unit, and the lifting driving unit described above can be driving elements such as air cylinders, oil cylinders, and telescopic cylinders, and their structures and principles are conventional technical means, which will not be described in detail here.

[0025] In summary, the truss transportation device provided by the embodiment can realize automatic clamping, transfer, and conveying of the pipe by the cooperation of the fixed clamping mechanism 3 and the flat-lifting clamping mechanism 2, thereby improving the work efficiency and the degree of automation. At the same time, by providing the feeding driving assembly 25 and the lifting driving assembly 24 and other driving structures, the synchronization and coordination between the components are ensured, so that the whole device runs more stably and reliably.

[0026] The above-described embodiments are only the preferred embodiments of the present application, and do not limit the present application in any form. Any skilled person in the art can make more possible changes and decorations to the technical solution of the present application by using the disclosed technical content, or make modifications without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present application.
