The output end of the reduction box 21 is connected with the first end of one of the plurality of drive shafts 25 through a standard coupling, and the second end of the drive shaft 25 is coaxially connected with the other drive shafts 25 in series. The plurality of bearing seat supports 22 are installed in a straight line on the production platform, and a plurality of bearing seats 23 are correspondingly fixedly installed on the plurality of bearing seat supports 22, bearings are installed in the bearing seats 23, and shear-resistant ribs are arranged at the bottom of the bearing seats 23. At least three bearing seats 23 are guaranteed to be installed on each drive shaft 25, and a set of shaft shoulders are arranged on each drive shaft 25 to cooperate with the bearing seats 23 to ensure accurate positioning of the drive shaft 25. The drive shafts 25 of each cam mechanism 20 are coaxially connected in series to form a long shaft, the plurality of cams 24 are arranged in pairs and symmetrically on the long shaft to form a plurality of pairs of cams 24, each group of cam mechanisms 20 is divided into an odd number of cam 24 and an even number of cam 24 according to the arrangement order, an odd number of pipe beam 30 is installed on the odd number of cam 24, and an even number of pipe beam 30 is installed on the even number of cam 24, the odd number of cam 24 adopts the first mounting position, and the even number of cam 24 adopts the second mounting position. When the line connecting the center of the cam hole of the cam 24 to the highest point of the cam 24 wheel rim points to the same direction as the clock 9 o'clock hour hand, it is defined as the reference position of the cam 24, and the clockwise direction is the rotation direction of the drive shaft 25, the first mounting position is the mounting position when the cam 24 rotation angle is 0 degrees, and the second mounting position is the mounting position when the cam 24 rotation angle is 180 degrees, the phase difference between the cam 24 of the first mounting position and the cam 24 of the second mounting position is 180 degrees, and the geometric center and the shaft hole center of all the installed cams 24 are in the same horizontal plane. The installation number, position and angle of the cams 24 between the two groups of cam mechanisms 20 remain the same, and the two groups of cam mechanisms 20 are aligned and arranged in parallel on the mounting platform.A plurality of pipe conveying beams 30 are correspondingly installed on the plurality of cam mechanisms 20, the length direction of the plurality of pipe conveying beams 30 is perpendicular to the axial direction of the cam mechanism 20, and each pipe conveying beam 30 is correspondingly installed on two pairs of cam mechanisms 20.

[0023] In the present application, each two cam mechanisms 20 are coaxially arranged through the bearing seat 23 and the bearing, the driving shafts 25 of the two coaxially arranged cam mechanisms 20 are not connected with each other, and each cam mechanism 20 is correspondingly connected with a servo motor 11 for independent control. The cooling object of the present application is a pipe bar, which usually has different length specifications.

Therefore, when the length of the pipe bar is less than the length of the long axis of the single cam mechanism 20, only one cam mechanism 20 on the same side of each cam mechanism 20 needs to be started. Thus, the present application adjusts the start-stop state of the four cam mechanisms 20 according to the working condition, and the idle cam mechanisms 20 are completely stopped to avoid energy consumption and improve energy utilization efficiency, thereby achieving energy saving and consumption reduction.

[0024] Further, as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 6 , the cam mechanism 20 further comprises a plurality of shaft couplings 27 and a plurality of expansion sleeves 26.

[0025] Further, as shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the pipe conveying beam 30 comprises two jacking frames 31, two guide frames 32, two mounting plates 34 and a pipe conveying frame 33. The two jacking frames 31 are symmetrically arranged along the axial direction of the cam mechanism 20 and are rollably arranged on a pair of cams 24 of a set of cam mechanisms 20; the two guide frames 32 are symmetrically arranged along the axial direction of the cam mechanism 20 and are rollably arranged on a pair of cams 24 of another set of cam mechanisms 20; the two mounting plates 34 are respectively arranged on the top surfaces of the two jacking frames 31 and the two guide frames 32; the pipe conveying frame 33 is arranged perpendicularly to the axis of the cam mechanism 20 and is connected with the two mounting plates 34, and the jacking frames 31 and the guide frames 32 work cooperatively under the driving of the cams 24 to periodically move the pipe conveying frame 33. Each pipe conveying beam 30 comprises two jacking frames 31, two guide frames 32 and two mounting plates 34. The two mounting plates 34 are fixed on the pipe conveying frame 33 by welding, and the two mounting plates 34 are connected with the two guide frames 32 and the two jacking frames 31 respectively by bolts and keys, the bolts are mainly used for fixed connection, and the keys are mainly used for bearing load. Among them, the two guide frames 32 correspond to one mounting plate 34, the two jacking frames 31 correspond to the other mounting plate 34, and the distance between the geometric centers of the two mounting plates 34 is consistent with the center line distance between the two long axes of the two sets of cam mechanisms 20.

The connecting frame 311 and the mounting plate 34 are fixedly connected through the bolts and the keys, the supporting wheel 312 is rotatably matched with the cam 24, and there is no connection relationship between the supporting wheel 312 and the cam 24. In the whole process of rotation of the cam 24, the supporting wheel 312 is always located at the highest point of the cam 24, which is simple to install and does not need to be fixedly connected.

[0027] Further, as shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the guide frame 32 comprises a guide support 321 and two guide wheels 322. The guide support 321 is fixedly arranged on the pipe conveying frame 33 through the mounting plate 34; the two guide wheels 322 are rotatably arranged on the guide support 321 along the length direction of the pipe conveying frame 33 and rotatably cooperate with the cam 24 so that the two guide wheels 322 always symmetrically ride on both sides of the highest point of the cam 24. The guide support 321 is fixedly connected with the mounting plate 34 through bolts and keys, the two guide wheels 322 are rotatably connected with the cam 24, and the two guide wheels 322 are not connected with the cam 24. In the whole process of rotation of the cam 24, under the auxiliary action of gravity, the two guide wheels 322 always symmetrically ride on both sides of the highest point of the cam 24. Through the two guide wheels 322, the movement of the pipe conveying beam 30 along the length direction relative to the cam 24 is limited, and the guide edges of the pair of cam 24 limit the movement of the pipe conveying beam 30 along the axial direction of the cam 24. The distance between the midpoint of the line connecting the geometric centers of the two guide wheels 322 and the geometric center of the same side supporting wheel 312 is consistent with the distance between the center lines of the two long axes of the two cam mechanisms 20, so that under the limiting action of the two guide wheels 322, the supporting wheel 312 can always be located at the highest point of the cam 24. The jacking frame 31 further comprises a first rotating shaft 313 and a first bearing 314, and the guide frame 32 further comprises two second rotating shafts 323 and two second bearings 324.

The present scheme fully utilizes the auxiliary action of gravity to realize that the two guide wheels 322 always symmetrically ride on both sides of the highest point of the cam 24.

[0028] Further, as Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 13As shown, the pipe rack 33 comprises two H-shaped steels 331, a plurality of rectangular tubes 332 and a plurality of V-shaped grooves 333. The two H-shaped steels 331 are arranged vertically and symmetrically on the two mounting plates 34; the plurality of rectangular tubes 332 extend along the axial direction of the cam mechanism 20 and are arranged uniformly on the top surface of the two H-shaped steels 331; the plurality of V-shaped grooves 333 are arranged symmetrically to form a plurality of pairs of V-shaped grooves 333, which are arranged one-to-one on the plurality of rectangular tubes 332 to carry the pipe bars; wherein the plurality of rectangular tubes 332 are used to fix the plurality of pairs of V-shaped grooves 333 on the two H-shaped steels 331.

[0029] Further, as Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the positioning mechanism 40 comprises a detection bracket 42 and a detection element 41. The detection bracket 42 is installed on the production platform and arranged below the cam mechanism 20; the detection element 41 is arranged on the detection bracket 42 to collect the position data of the cam mechanism 20.

Through the position data of the four cam mechanisms 20 fed back by the positioning mechanism 40, the driving mechanism 10 takes one cam mechanism 20 as the main driving, calibrates the other three cam mechanisms 20 with the main driving, so that all the cams 24 return to zero position, wherein the first installation position is the zero position of the odd number of cams 24, and the second installation position is the zero position of the even number of cams 24. By using the positioning mechanism 40, the four cam mechanisms 20 are calibrated, so that the whole device operates more accurately and stably.

When all the cams 24 rotate by 270 degrees: the even-numbered pipe conveying beams 30 on the even-numbered cams 24 complete the material receiving and are at the highest position; the odd-numbered pipe conveying beams 30 on the odd-numbered cams 24 complete the material discharging and are at the lowest position. When all the cams 24 rotate by 360 degrees: all the pipe conveying beams 30 are at the same elevation, the odd-numbered pipe conveying beams 30 on the odd-numbered cams 24 are at the standby position, and the even-numbered pipe conveying beams 30 on the even-numbered cams 24 are at the discharge position, at this time the pipe bars on the pipe conveying beams 30 again horizontally move by one step, and the travel in space is still the arc length of a semicircle with the step as the diameter. At this time, all the cam 24 driving devices return to the zero positions again, and a running cycle is completed. In this cycle, the odd-numbered pipe conveying beams 30 on the odd-numbered cams 24 and the even-numbered pipe conveying beams 30 on the even-numbered cams 24 each complete one material receiving and discharging, and the entire device completes two material receiving and discharging.
