DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0034] In order to make the technical means, creative features, purposes and effects realized by the present application easy to understand, the present application is further described below in combination with specific embodiments.

[0035] As shown in Figures 1-2 the figure, the pipe cutting robot provided by the embodiment of the present application comprises a roller conveyor 1 and a feeding conveyor 2; a cutting mechanism is arranged between the roller conveyor 1 and the feeding conveyor 2; the roller conveyor 1 is used for conveying a pipe 3; the cutting mechanism is used for cutting the pipe 3; a linear slide rail 4 is fixedly connected to a top side of the feeding conveyor 2; a stand 5 is fixedly connected to a top of a sliding block of the linear slide rail 4; a sliding table 6 capable of lifting is slidingly installed in the stand 5; a baffle 7 is fixedly connected to a side of the sliding table 6 close to the feeding conveyor 2; the baffle 7 is used for blocking an end of the pipe 3; a laser range finder is arranged on a top of the baffle 7;

[0037] The linear slide rail 4 in the embodiment can accurately control the sliding distance of the sliding block;

[0038] In the embodiment, a ball screw driven by a motor is arranged in the stand 5, and the ball screw is used for driving the sliding table 6 to lift;

[0039] The laser range finder in the embodiment can accurately measure the distance between the cutting mechanism and the baffle 7, that is, the length of the pipe 3 to be cut;

[0040] In work, according to the length of the pipe, the sliding distance of the sliding block on the linear slide rail 4 is set, and the distance between the baffle 7 and the cutting mechanism is detected by the laser range finder on the baffle 7 to accurately control the position of the baffle 7; then the lifting platform 6 inside the stand 5 is controlled to lift and drive the baffle 7 to lift, so that the baffle 7 can block the end of the pipe 3; when cutting pipes of the same length, it only needs to be adjusted once and does not need to be adjusted again.

[0041] After adjustment, the pipe 3 is conveyed to the cutting mechanism by the drum conveyor 1, the pipe 3 moves through the cutting mechanism to the top of the discharging conveyor 2, the end of the pipe 3 is blocked by the baffle 7, at this time, the length of the pipe 3 on the discharging conveyor 2 is the set cutting length, at this time, the cutting mechanism cuts the pipe 3, then the discharging conveyor 2 discharges the cut pipe 3, and at the same time, the drum conveyor 1 continues to convey the pipe 3 to be cut; not only reduces the difficulty of cutting work, but also improves the work efficiency and cutting precision.

[0042] As shown in Figures 1-2 , a plurality of support tables 8 are uniformly and fixedly connected to the middle of the top surface of the discharging conveyor 2; a plurality of push-up groove plates 9 are hingedly connected to the top of the plurality of support tables 8; the concave inner wall of the push-up groove plate 9 is in sliding contact with the outer wall of the pipe 3; a plurality of first hydraulic cylinders 10 are rotatably installed between the side of the push-up groove plate 9 close to the linear slide rail 4 and the top surface of the discharging conveyor 2;

[0043] In work, when the pipe 3 moves through the cutting mechanism to the top of the discharging conveyor 2, at this time, the plurality of first hydraulic cylinders 10 are in a contracted state, so that the push-up groove plate 9 is in a horizontal state, and the pipe 3 can slide to the top concave surface of the push-up groove plate 9; through the groove structure of the push-up groove plate 9, the stability of the pipe 3 during cutting can be effectively improved;

[0044] When the pipe 3 is cut, the cut pipe 3 falls on the top groove of the push-up groove plate 9, at this time, the first hydraulic cylinder 10 pushes one side of the push-up groove plate 9, so that the push-up groove plate 9 flips to the other side, so that the cut pipe 3 rolls and slides to the side surface of the discharging conveyor 2, thereby realizing the discharging work of the pipe 3, and avoiding the influence of the discharging work on the position of the baffle 7 and the adjustment of the position of the baffle 7.

[0045] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 3 , and Figure 4As shown, the cutting mechanism comprises a mounting plate 11; the two sides of the mounting plate 11 are respectively fixedly connected with the top surface of the drum conveyor 1 and the top surface of the discharging conveyor 2; a pair of half-ring tracks 12 are rotatably installed at the middle part of the mounting plate 11; the two half-ring tracks 12 can form a complete ring track; a No. 2 hydraulic cylinder 13 is hingedly connected between each half-ring track 12 and the mounting plate 11; a moving structure is arranged inside the half-ring track 12 and can slide along the half-ring track 12; a No. 3 hydraulic cylinder 14 is arranged on the moving structure; a cutting machine 15 is arranged at the output end of the No. 3 hydraulic cylinder 14; the cutting blade of the cutting machine 15 can cut the pipeline 3;

[0046] When the drum conveyor 1 conveys the pipeline 3 towards the cutting mechanism, at this time, the No. 2 hydraulic cylinder 13 is in an extended state, pushes the two half-ring tracks 12 to approach each other to form a complete ring track, so that the moving structure can move in a ring along the complete ring track, at the same time, the No. 3 hydraulic cylinder 14 is in a retracted state, so that the cutting machine 15 is located at the side of the half-ring track 12;

[0047] When cutting the pipeline 3, the No. 3 hydraulic cylinder 14 pushes the cutting machine 15 to approach the pipeline 3, until the cutting blade of the cutting machine 15 cuts through the outer wall of the pipeline 3, at this time, the moving structure moves in a ring along the complete ring track, driving the cutting machine 15 to rotate and cut around the pipeline 3;

[0048] When the pipeline 3 is cut, the No. 3 hydraulic cylinder 14 drives the cutting machine 15 to move and reset, so that the cutting blade of the cutting machine 15 is separated from the pipeline 3; then, the No. 2 hydraulic cylinder 13 is retracted to drive the half-ring track 12 to rotate, so that the two half-ring tracks 12 are rotated and opened; thereby avoiding that the half-ring track 12 blocks the pipeline 3 from being turned over and discharged.

[0049] As shown in the figure, Figures 3-8 As shown, the moving structure comprises an arc-shaped outer gear rack 16 and an arc-shaped inner gear rack 17; the arc-shaped outer gear rack 16 is fixedly connected to the outside of the inner cavity of the half-ring track 12; the arc-shaped inner gear rack 17 is fixedly connected to the inside of the inner cavity of the half-ring track 12; the two arc-shaped outer gear racks 16 can be butt-jointed to form an inner gear ring; the two arc-shaped inner gear racks 17 can be butt-jointed to form an outer gear ring; a moving shell 18 is slidably arranged inside the half-ring track 12; moving gears 19 are rotatably installed at the two sides of the moving shell 18; the two moving gears 19 are respectively engaged with the arc-shaped outer gear rack 16 and the arc-shaped inner gear rack 17; a driving assembly is arranged inside the moving shell 18, and the driving assembly drives the two moving gears 19 to synchronously rotate;

[0050] When working, the driving assembly drives the two moving gears 19 to rotate synchronously, and through the meshing of the two moving gears 19 with the arc-shaped outer gear rack 16 and the arc-shaped inner gear rack 17 respectively, the moving shell 18 is driven to slide along the semi-annular track 12 at a constant speed, thereby driving the cutting machine 15 to move around the pipeline 3 for cutting;

[0051] Moreover, since the two moving gears 19 are meshed with the arc-shaped outer gear rack 16 and the arc-shaped inner gear rack 17 respectively, the stability of the movement of the moving shell 18 is improved.

[0052] As shown in Figures 7-8 , the driving assembly comprises a driving motor 20 fixedly connected to an inner end of the moving shell 18; the output shaft end structure of the driving motor 20 is provided with a driving gear 21; a rotating rod 22 is rotatably installed at the middle part of the moving shell 18; a face gear 23 is arranged at the outer circle of the rotating rod 22; the face gear 23 can be meshed with the driving gear 21; a synchronous wheel 24 is fixedly connected to the bottom outer circle of the rotating shaft of the moving gear 19 and the bottom outer circle of the rotating rod 22; a plurality of synchronous wheels 24 are sleeved with a synchronous belt 25;

[0055] When working, the rotating arms 26 are driven by the torsional springs to rotate towards the arc-shaped outer gear rack 16 and the arc-shaped inner gear rack 17, so that the stable gears 28 can be meshed with the arc-shaped outer gear rack 16 and the arc-shaped inner gear rack 17; through the meshing of the plurality of stable gears 28 with the arc-shaped outer gear rack 16 and the arc-shaped inner gear rack 17 respectively, the stability of the movement of the moving shell 18 is improved, and the stability of the cutting is further improved.

[0056] As shown in Figures 7-12As shown, two locking units are arranged inside the two rotating arms 26 at one end of the moving shell 18, each of which comprises a pair of clamping plates 29; the two clamping plates 29 are respectively slidingly installed on the top surface and the bottom surface of the slot 27, and are respectively located at the top and the bottom of the stabilizing gear 28; the clamping plates 29 can slide to press the stabilizing gear 28; a first sliding rod 30 is slidingly installed inside the clamping plate 29 near one end of the moving shell 18; a plurality of springs are fixed between the first sliding rod 30 and the inside of the clamping plate 29; four first connecting rods 31 are arranged inside the slot 27; the four first connecting rods 31 are hingedly connected to form a rhombus structure, and a torsion spring is arranged at the hinge of the first connecting rod 31; the outer circle of the hinge rod of the two first connecting rods 31 at the top and the bottom is sleeved with a second connecting rod 32; the other end of the second connecting rod 32 is fixedly connected with the first sliding rod 30; a cable 33 is fixedly connected with the hinge rod of one of the first connecting rods 31 near one end of the moving shell 18; the cable 33 penetrates through the outer wall of the rotating arm 26 and the moving shell 18; a transmission structure is arranged inside the moving shell 18, and the transmission structure is connected with the cable 33 and the driving assembly;

[0057] When the two half-ring tracks 12 need to be separated and opened after the cutting of the pipeline 3 is completed, the transmission structure controls the driving assembly to stop driving the rotating of the moving gear 19, at the same time, the transmission structure pulls the cable 33 to move, so that the middle two ends of the rhombus structure composed of the four first connecting rods 31 are pulled to the two sides, and the top end and the bottom end move towards the middle, so that the two second connecting rods 32 move towards the moving shell 18 and approach each other, driving the first sliding rod 30 to slide out of the clamping plate 29, at the same time, the two first sliding rods 30 drive the clamping plates 29 to approach each other, and the two clamping plates 29 approach each other to clamp the two surfaces of the stabilizing gear 28, locking and fixing the stabilizing gear 28; thereby fixing the moving structure in the half-ring track 12, thereby avoiding the situation that the moving structure and the cutting machine 15 are separated from the half-ring track 12 after the half-ring track 12 is separated.

[0065] Working principle: according to the length of the required pipeline, the sliding distance of the slider on the linear slide rail 4 is set, and the distance between the laser range finder on the baffle 7 and the cutting mechanism is detected, so as to accurately control the position of the baffle 7; then the slide table 6 inside the stand column 5 is controlled to ascend and descend, driving the baffle 7 to ascend and descend, so that the baffle 7 can block the end of the pipeline 3; when cutting the pipeline with the same length, it is only necessary to control and adjust once without the need for further adjustment.

[0066] The second hydraulic cylinder 13 is in an extended state, pushing the two semi-annular tracks 12 to approach to form a complete annular track, so that the moving structure can move along the complete annular track, at the same time, the third hydraulic cylinder 14 is in a retracted state, so that the cutting machine 15 is on the side of the semi-annular track 12; at the same time, the fourth hydraulic cylinder 37 is in a retracted state, driving the cross rod 36 and the lifting sleeve rod 34 to slide, driving the face gear 23 to mesh with the drive gear 21, so that the drive motor 20 can drive the moving gear 19 to rotate; at the same time, the cross rod 36 drives the third connecting rod 40 to move, pushing the connecting piece 39 to slide along the connecting frame 38, so that the cable 33 is relaxed, at this time, the torsional spring on the first connecting rod 31 resets, so that the two ends of the diamond-shaped structure composed of the first connecting rod 31 approach, the top and bottom ends are far away, at the same time, the spring in the clamp plate 29 resets, pulling the first sliding rod 30 into the clamp plate 29, so that the two clamp plates 29 are far away from each other and reset, relaxing the moving gear 19, so that the moving gear 19 can rotate; at the same time, the rotating arm 26 rotates under the action of the torsional spring, so that the rotating arm 26 rotates towards the arc-shaped outer gear rack 16 and the arc-shaped inner gear rack 17, so that the stabilizing gear 28 can mesh with the arc-shaped outer gear rack 16 and the arc-shaped inner gear rack 17;

[0067] After adjustment, the drum conveyor 1 conveys the pipe 3 to the cutting mechanism, the pipe 3 passes through the cutting mechanism and moves to the top of the discharging conveyor 2, the end of the pipe 3 is blocked by the baffle 7, at this time, the length of the pipe 3 on the discharging conveyor 2 is set to the cutting length;

[0068] When cutting the pipe 3, the third hydraulic cylinder 14 pushes the cutting machine 15 to approach the pipe 3, until the cutting blade of the cutting machine 15 cuts through the outer wall of the pipe 3, the drive motor 20 drives the drive gear 21 to rotate, cooperates with the meshing transmission of the face gear 23, drives the rotating rod 22 to rotate, drives one of the synchronous wheels 24 to rotate, through the transmission of the synchronous belt 25, so that the other two synchronous wheels 24 rotate synchronously, so that the two moving gears 19 rotate synchronously; the moving structure moves along the complete annular track, driving the cutting machine 15 to rotate and cut around the pipe 3;

[0069] When the pipe 3 cutting is completed, the No. 3 hydraulic cylinder 14 drives the cutting machine 15 to move back to reset, so that the cutting blade of the cutting machine 15 is separated from the pipe 3; then, the No. 2 hydraulic cylinder 13 retracts to drive the semi-ring track 12 to rotate, so that the two semi-ring tracks 12 are opened by rotating; at this time, the No. 4 hydraulic cylinder 37 extends to push the cross rod 36 and the lifting sleeve rod 34 to slide, drive the face gear 23 to separate from the driving gear 21, so that the driving motor 20 cannot drive the moving gear 19 to rotate; at the same time, the cross rod 36 drives the No. 3 connecting rod 40 to move, drives the connecting piece 39 to slide along the connecting frame 38, pulls the cable 33 to be taut and moves, so that the middle two ends of the diamond structure composed of four No. 1 connecting rods 31 are pulled to the two sides, and the top end and the bottom end move to the middle, so that the two No. 2 connecting rods 32 move to the moving shell 18 while approaching, drive the No. 1 slide rod 30 to slide from the clamping plate 29, at the same time, the two No. 1 slide rods 30 drive the clamping plate 29 to approach, and the two clamping plates 29 approach to clamp the two sides of the stable gear 28, lock and fix the stable gear 28; so as to fix the moving structure in the semi-ring track 12, thereby avoiding the situation that the moving structure and the cutting machine 15 are separated from the semi-ring track 12 after the semi-ring track 12 is opened;

[0070] The cut pipe 3 falls in the top groove of the push groove plate 9, at this time, the No. 1 hydraulic cylinder 10 pushes one side of the push groove plate 9, so that the push groove plate 9 is turned to the other side, so that the cut pipe 3 rolls and slides to the side surface of the discharging conveyor 2, so as to realize the discharging work of the pipe 3.
