Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to device manufacturing, and in particular to a conveying and guiding mechanism for steel pipe manufacturing. Background Art

[0002] In the field of high-end equipment manufacturing, the directional conveying technology of steel pipe long shaft workpieces is one of the core links of the production line. Traditional conveying systems mostly adopt roller conveyors or chain conveyor structures, which have problems such as low guiding accuracy, easy jamming, and unstable spacing control. For example, roller conveyors rely on manual adjustment of the steel pipe posture, making it difficult to avoid deviation or stacking; although chain conveyors can achieve continuous transportation, the direct friction between their rigid links and steel pipes easily causes surface scratches, and they lack an adaptive deviation correction function. In addition, in the prior art, the lifting and conveying links mostly adopt a split design, and it is necessary to transfer materials through a transfer robotic arm or manual intervention, resulting in low efficiency and large equipment floor space. In recent years, some integrated conveying devices have tried to improve the positioning accuracy by adding guiding baffles or pneumatic push rods;

[0003] Therefore, a device that requires multi-motor collaborative control to meet the requirements of intelligent factories for flexible, low-damage, and high-tempo conveying is needed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Object of the Invention: The object of the present invention is to achieve high-precision dynamic guiding during the steel pipe conveying process; another object of the present invention is to provide an automated continuous feeding and directional release system.

[0005] Technical Solution: A conveying and guiding mechanism for steel pipe manufacturing includes a cross plate. Symmetrically and fixedly connected to the upper surface of the cross plate are support columns. A rotating column is fixedly connected between the two support columns. Tooth-shaped rotating cylinders are fixedly connected to the outer side walls of the rotating column. A transmission belt is meshed and connected to the outer side walls of the two tooth-shaped rotating cylinders. A conveyor belt is fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the transmission belt. A plurality of guiding wedges are symmetrically and fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the conveyor belt. A support plate is fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the left support column. A motor is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the support plate. The output end of the motor is fixedly connected to the front end of the left rotating column.

[0006] Further, vertical columns are symmetrically and fixedly connected to the upper surface of the cross plate, and lower columns are symmetrically and fixedly connected to the lower surface of the cross plate. Support upper frames are fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the two vertical columns, and support lower frames are fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the two lower columns. Rotating cylinders are rotatably connected to the outer side walls of the support upper frames and the support lower frames. A pipe lifting belt is wound around the outer side wall of the rotating cylinder. A plurality of pipe lifting blocks are symmetrically and fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the pipe lifting belt. Grooves are formed in the upper surfaces of the pipe lifting blocks. A pipe storage cavity is fixedly connected to the front surface of the cross plate and located outside the pipe lifting belt. A load-bearing plate is fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the support lower frame. A transmission motor is fixedly connected to the left side of the load-bearing plate. The left side of the output end of the transmission motor penetrates through to the right side of the lower rotating cylinder below and is fixedly connected to the right side of the rotating cylinder.

[0007] Further, an input port is formed in the upper surface of the pipe storage cavity, and a pipe input cavity is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the input port.

[0008] Further, an inclined plate is fixedly connected to the right side of the upper surface of the cross plate, and a rolling pipe groove is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the inclined plate.

[0009] Further, a guiding inclined plate is fixedly connected to the left side of the cross plate, and a guiding groove is formed in the upper surface of the guiding inclined plate.

[0010] Further, a plurality of support legs are fixedly connected to the lower surface of the cross plate.

[0011] Beneficial effects: Through the meshing transmission design of the toothed rotating cylinder and the transmission belt, and in cooperation with the guiding wedges linearly arranged on the surface of the transmission belt, the low-damage and high-precision transportation of steel pipes is realized. The motor drives the left rotating column to rotate clockwise, and through the transmission belt, the right rotating cylinder is driven to rotate in the reverse direction, forming a stable closed-loop power transmission to ensure the continuous and stable operation of the transmission belt. When the steel pipe slides in from the guiding inclined plate, the guiding groove accurately guides it to the transmission belt area. The inclined wedge contact surface applies a lateral thrust force to force the steel pipe to move along the central axis of the transmission belt, and the periodic wedge structure corrects the position deviation, avoiding collisions or displacements of multiple steel pipes during transportation and significantly reducing the risk of surface damage.

[0012] Based on the linkage structure of the pipe lifting belt and the groove, the full-process automatic control of the steel pipe from storage to output is realized. The pipe lifting belt moves cyclically under the drive of the transmission motor. The grooves on its surface accurately support the steel pipe at the entrance of the pipe storage cavity and prevent it from slipping through the limit design. When the pipe lifting belt moves to the top, the change in the inclination angle of the groove triggers the gravity release of the steel pipe, and it slides into the rolling pipe groove along the inclined plate to complete the directional output. The rigid structure design of the support legs and the load-bearing plate ensures the stability of the system operation, ensures the repeated accuracy of the steel pipe release position, simplifies the dependence on traditional manipulators or sensors at the same time, and reduces the equipment complexity and maintenance cost.

Detailed implementation manners

[0020] To make the technical solutions of the present invention clearer, the following further describes the present invention in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0021] Embodiment

[0022] As Figures 1-6 shown, a conveying and guiding mechanism for steel pipe manufacturing is provided, including a cross plate 1. Symmetrically and fixedly connected to the upper surface of the cross plate 1 are support columns 2. A rotating column 3 is fixedly connected between the two support columns 2. Toothed rotating cylinders 4 are fixedly connected to the outer side walls of the rotating column 3. A transmission belt 6 is meshed and connected to the outer side walls of the two toothed rotating cylinders 4. A conveyor belt 7 is fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the transmission belt 6. A plurality of guiding wedge blocks 8 are symmetrically and fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the conveyor belt 7. A support plate 9 is fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the left support column 2. A motor 10 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the support plate 9. The output end of the motor 10 is fixedly connected to the front end of the left rotating column 3. A guiding inclined plate 24 is fixedly connected to the left side of the cross plate 1. A guiding groove 25 is formed on the upper surface of the guiding inclined plate 24;

[0023] After the motor 10 is started, it drives the left rotating column 3 to rotate clockwise, and the left toothed rotating drum 4 rotates synchronously therewith, and the right toothed rotating drum 4 is driven to rotate synchronously in the opposite direction through the meshing action of the teeth of the transmission belt 6. The coordinated movement of the two rotating drums drives the transmission belt 6 to form a closed loop, so that the transmission belt 7 fixed on the outside thereof continues to move. The multiple groups of guide wedges 8 on the surface of the transmission belt 7 are arranged linearly. When the steel pipe slides into the guide inclined plate 24 on the left side of the cross plate 1, the guide groove 25 accurately guides the steel pipe to the transmission belt 7 area. The inclined surface of the guide wedge 8 generates a lateral thrust after contacting the steel pipe, forcing the steel pipe to move in a directional manner along the central axis of the transmission belt 7. At the same time, the steel pipe is periodically corrected in position through the wedge structure distributed at intervals to ensure that multiple steel pipes maintain a uniform spacing. During the whole process, the meshing transmission of the rotating column 3, the toothed rotating drum 4 and the transmission belt 6 realizes stable power transmission, and the rigid connection between the guide wedge 8 and the transmission belt 7 provides continuous positioning thrust, and finally completes the continuous directional transportation of the steel pipe.

[0024] In this embodiment, the upper surface of the horizontal plate 1 is symmetrically fixedly connected with a vertical column 11, and the lower surface of the horizontal plate 1 is symmetrically fixedly connected with a lower column 14. The opposite sides of the two vertical columns 11 are fixedly connected with a support upper frame 12, and the opposite sides of the two lower columns 14 are fixedly connected with a support lower frame 15. The outer side walls of the support upper frame 12 and the support lower frame 15 are both rotatably connected with a rotating cylinder 13. A pipe lifting belt 16 is arranged around the outer side wall of the rotating cylinder 13. A plurality of pipe lifting blocks 17 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the pipe lifting belt 16. The upper surfaces of the pipe lifting blocks 17 are all provided with grooves 18. The horizontal plate 1 On the front surface, a tube storage cavity 19 is fixedly connected to the outside of the tube lifting belt 16, a load-bearing plate 27 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the supporting lower frame 15, a transmission motor 28 is fixedly connected to the left side of the load-bearing plate 27, the output end of the transmission motor 28 passes through the right side of the lower rotating cylinder 13 and is fixedly connected to the right side of the rotating cylinder 13, an input port 20 is opened on the upper surface of the tube storage cavity 19, a tube throwing cavity 21 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the input port 20, an inclined plate 22 is fixedly connected to the right side of the upper surface of the horizontal plate 1, and a tube rolling groove 23 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the inclined plate 22;

[0025] After the transmission motor 28 is started, it drives the lower rotating cylinder 13 to rotate clockwise, driving the pipe lifting belt 16 arranged around the outer side of the supporting upper frame 12 and the supporting lower frame 15 to move in a circular motion. The pipe lifting block 17 on the outer side of the pipe lifting belt 16 moves synchronously with the belt body, and its groove 18 supports the steel pipe dropped from the pipe dropping cavity 21 from the input port 20 of the pipe storage cavity 19. During the rising process of the pipe lifting belt 16, the groove 18 limits the steel pipe to prevent it from slipping; when the pipe lifting belt 16 moves to the top of the supporting upper frame 12, the steel pipe is separated from the groove 18 under the action of gravity, and rolls into the pipe rolling groove 23 along the inclined plate 22 on the right side of the horizontal plate 1 to complete the directional output. At the same time, the transmission motor 28 maintains stable operation through the friction between the lower rotating cylinder 13 and the pipe lifting belt 16, and the load-bearing plate 27 ensures the rigid support of the transmission system. During the whole process, the groove 18 of the pipe lifting block 17 realizes the grabbing and releasing of the steel pipe, the pipe storage cavity 19 and the pipe throwing cavity 21 form a continuous feeding channel, and the pipe rolling groove 23 guides the steel pipe to slide out in an orderly manner, finally realizing the automatic lifting and directional transportation of the steel pipe.

[0026] In this embodiment, a plurality of supporting legs 26 are fixedly connected to the lower surface of the horizontal plate 1;

[0027] The multiple support legs 26 fixedly connected to the lower surface of the horizontal plate 1 serve as the basic support structure of the mechanism, and are evenly distributed at the bottom of the horizontal plate, and are rigidly connected by bolts or welding. The support legs 26 are made of high-rigidity metal materials, and the anti-skid pads installed at the bottom of the support legs 26 enhance the ground adhesion of the entire mechanism, and cooperate with the material transmission of the pipe storage chamber 19, the inclined plate 22 and other components to ensure the stability and safety of the steel pipe transportation process.

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, which all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present invention shall be subject to the attached claims.
