[0020] The clamping arm 100 is used to clamp the pipe so as to transfer and place the corrugated pipe onto the transfer frame assembly 200 .

[0021] The base frame 210 serves as a structural support for other ancillary components. The conveyor belt 220 is used to transport the corrugated tubes and is supported by the base frame 210. The counting device 230 is used to count the corrugated tubes, generating a count each time a corrugated tube passes under the counting device 230. The pushing device 240 is used to push the accumulated corrugated tubes into the storage device assembly 300.

[0022] The storage device assembly 300 includes a storage support frame 310 and an elevator 320. A storage basket 330 for storing corrugated tubes is mounted on a lifting member 321 of the elevator 320. The storage support frame 310 structurally supports the elevator 320. During operation, the lifting member 321 raises and lowers the storage basket 330 for storing the corrugated tubes.

[0023] The control system 400 includes a main control module 410, and the main control module 410 is electrically connected to a first control module 420 for controlling the clamping arm 100, a second control module 430 for controlling the conveyor belt 220, a third control module 440 for controlling the pushing device 240, and a fourth control module 450 for controlling the elevator 320; the counting device 230 is electrically connected to the main control module 410.

[0024] In some preferred embodiments, the transfer frame assembly 200 includes a lower hopper 250, which is located directly below the clamping arm 100 and is fixedly mounted to the base support 210. The lower hopper 250 is used to receive the corrugated pipe dropped from the transfer frame assembly 200, and the corrugated pipe enters the conveyor belt 220 through the lower hopper 250. The lower hopper 250 is fixedly mounted on the base support 210 to provide structural support.

[0025] In some preferred embodiments, the counting device 230 includes a device frame 231 and a counter 232 mounted on the device frame 231. The counter 232 is located directly above the conveyor belt 220. The counter 232 is used to count the number of corrugated tubes passing through. In a specific implementation, an infrared counting device can be used to count the corrugated tubes. The counter 232 is located above the conveyor belt 220 to directly count the number of corrugated tubes. In some preferred embodiments, the pushing device 240 includes a support frame 241 and a pushing cylinder 242, and the pushing cylinder 242 is disposed on the support frame 241. The pushing cylinder 242 is used to directly push the corrugated pipe to push the corrugated pipe that meets the requirements into the storage basket 330.

[0026] In some preferred embodiments, the output end of the pushing cylinder 242 is provided with a push plate 2421 for directly pushing the bellows. In some preferred embodiments, the storage basket 330 is in a square frame shape.

[0027] like Figure 3-6 As shown, a method for collecting pipes in a pipe processing production line comprises: Control the start circuit of the conveyor belt and start the conveyor belt; in this step, the conveyor belt is started so that the corrugated tube can be transferred through the conveyor belt later; Controlling the control circuit of the clamping arm and controlling the clamping arm to release the bellows; in this step, the clamping arm is controlled by the control circuit and the bellows is released so that the bellows falls onto the conveyor belt; Obtaining a counting signal from a counting device; in this step, the counting device counts the number of bellows passing through it through its sensing principle and generates a corresponding counting signal; Controlling the control circuit of the pushing device and activating the pushing device to complete the pushing action, thereby pushing the bellows into the storage basket; in this step, the pushing action is generated by the control circuit of the pushing device, thereby causing the bellows to be pushed into the storage basket; Control the control circuit of the elevator and transfer the bellows by lifting the lifting member of the elevator; in this step, the bellows is lifted and transferred by the elevator by controlling the control circuit of the lifting.

[0028] In some preferred embodiments, obtaining a counting signal from a counting device includes: The bellows triggers the counting device, which generates a counting signal. In this step, as the bellows moves, the sensor signal of the counting device is differentially triggered, so a counting signal is generated each time the bellows passes through a bellows. The counting signals are accumulated to calculate the total number of the bellows that have passed through; by accumulating the counting signals, the total number of the bellows that have passed through can be obtained.

[0029] In some preferred embodiments, controlling the control circuit of the pushing device and starting the pushing device to complete the pushing action to push the bellows into the storage basket includes: The total number of bellows reaches the preset standard. In this step, the number of bellows is compared with the preset data standard. If the number of bellows reaches the preset standard, it means that the number of bellows meets the expectation. The control circuit of the pushing device generates a pushing signal, and the pushing action is generated by the pushing signal; in this step, an instruction is generated by the control circuit, and the pushing action is generated according to the instruction.

[0030] In some preferred embodiments, the control circuit of the elevator and the transfer of the bellows by raising the lifting member of the elevator include: Obtain the number of times the pushing device generates a pushing signal; in this step, the number of pushing actions is used as a basis for determining subsequent actions; When the number of times the push signal generates pushes reaches a preset value, the control circuit of the elevator generates a lifting control signal, and the lifting member generates a lifting action; in this step, the number of times the push signal is generated serves as the basis for subsequent elevator actions.
