DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] In order to make the personnel in the art better understand the scheme of the present application, the technical scheme in the specific embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

[0026] As Figure 1As shown, the application provides a feeding tool of a pipe machining platform, which is used for feeding shaft workpieces 1. The shaft workpieces 1 at least include two stepped sections, and when the shaft workpieces 1 are placed on a horizontal plane, the shaft lines thereof are arranged obliquely relative to the horizontal plane.

[0027] As shown in Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 , as an implementation manner, the application provides a feeding tool of a pipe machining platform, which includes a feeding mechanism 2, a direction detection mechanism 3, an output mechanism 4, a clamping mechanism 5, and a base 6. The feeding mechanism 2, the direction detection mechanism 3, the output mechanism 4, and the clamping mechanism 5 are respectively installed on the base 6, and the clamping mechanism 5 is located above the feeding mechanism 2, the direction detection mechanism 3, and the output mechanism 4. The shaft workpieces 1 are sequentially moved from the feeding mechanism 2 to the direction detection mechanism 3 and the output mechanism 4 by the clamping mechanism 5, and the shaft workpieces 1 are moved from the output mechanism 4 to a numerical control machine tool by an external mechanical hand.

[0028] It should be noted that the external mechanical hand refers to a mechanical hand other than the feeding tool, and the shaft workpieces 1 are moved from the feeding tool to the numerical control machine tool clamp by the external mechanical hand.

[0029] The feeding mechanism 2 includes a conveying belt 202 and a baffle assembly 203. The conveying belt 202 and the baffle assembly 203 are respectively installed on the base 6, and the conveying belt 202 and the baffle assembly 203 jointly form a feeding channel 201. When the conveying belt 202 works, the shaft workpieces 1 move in the feeding channel 201, so as to facilitate the conveying of the shaft workpieces 1.

[0030] An opening 2031 is formed at the end of the baffle assembly 203 close to the direction detection mechanism 3, so as to prevent the clamping mechanism 5 from interfering with the baffle assembly 203 when the clamping mechanism 5 clamps the shaft workpieces 1.

[0031] The direction detection mechanism 3 includes a swing table 301 and a detection assembly 302. The swing table 301 can swing relative to the base 6 under the action of the self-weight of the shaft workpieces 1. The detection assembly 302 is connected with the swing table 301, and the swing direction of the swing table 301 is detected by the detection assembly 302, so as to judge the direction of the shaft workpieces 1 placed on the swing table 301.

[0032] It should be noted that the swing center of the swing table 301 is located at the midpoint of the length of the shaft workpieces 1. Since the shaft workpieces 1 are stepped shaft structures, the center of gravity of the shaft workpieces 1 deviates from the midpoint of the length of the shaft workpieces 1, so that the swing table 301 swings relatively, and in a normal state, the swing table 301 inclines towards the end with a larger diameter of the shaft workpieces 1.

[0033] The output mechanism 4 comprises an output channel 401 and a support 402, the support 402 is slidingly installed in the output channel 401, and the support 402 at least partially abuts the circumferential side wall of the shaft workpiece 1, so as to make the axis of the shaft workpiece 1 parallel to the extension direction of the feeding channel 201, so as to facilitate the subsequent mechanical hand to clamp the workpiece, and improve the feeding efficiency and stability of the feeding tool.

[0034] The clamping mechanism 5 comprises a rotating mechanical hand 501 and a moving assembly 502 for moving the rotating mechanical hand 501, the moving assembly 502 is connected with the rotating mechanical hand 501, and the shaft workpiece 1 is moved from the feeding mechanism 2 to the detection mechanism 3 and the output mechanism 4 in sequence through the cooperation of the rotating mechanical hand 501 and the moving assembly 502.

[0035] The rotating mechanical hand 501 comprises a first clamping assembly 5011 and a rotating piece 5012, the first clamping assembly 5011 is used for clamping the shaft workpiece 1, and the rotating piece 5012 is used for rotating the first clamping assembly 5011, the first clamping assembly 5011 is rotatably installed on the moving assembly 502 through the rotating piece 5012, and the rotating piece 5012 can be rotated or kept stationary according to the detection result of the detection mechanism 3, so as to ensure that the shaft workpieces 1 conveyed to the output mechanism 4 are consistent in orientation.

[0036] As shown in Figure 6 As an implementation manner, the detection mechanism 3 further comprises a ball 303, a ball channel 3011 is formed in the swing table 301, the ball channel 3011 extends along the length direction of the swing table 301, the ball 303 is movably installed in the ball channel 3011, and the ball 303 is matched with the detection assembly 302, when the swing table 301 swings, the ball 303 moves towards one end of the swing table 301, and abuts against the detection assembly 302 located on one side of the swing table 301, so as to trigger the detection assembly 302 at the position, the position of the ball 303 is judged through the triggered detection assembly 302, the swing direction of the swing table 301 is judged, and the orientation of the shaft workpiece 1 is judged, so as to rotate or keep the initial state of the shaft workpiece 1 according to the required orientation of the shaft workpiece 1 output by the feeding tool.

[0037] As an implementation manner, the detection assembly 302 comprises two contact sensors 3021 and two mounting pieces 3022, the two mounting pieces 3022 are respectively installed at the two ends of the swing table 301, and the two contact sensors 3021 are respectively installed at the two ends of the swing table 301 through the mounting pieces 3022, and the contact sensor 3021 at least partially extends into the ball channel 3011.

[0038] When the shaft workpiece 1 is placed on the swing table 301, the swing table 301 swings towards the larger diameter end of the shaft workpiece 1, the ball 303 abuts against the contact sensor 3021 close to the larger diameter end of the shaft workpiece 1, so that the contact sensor 3021 is triggered.

[0039] Preferably, the detection assembly 302 includes one contact sensor 3021 and two mounting pieces 3022, the two mounting pieces 3022 are respectively mounted on the two ends of the swing table 301, and the contact sensor 3021 is mounted on one of the mounting pieces 3022. When the ball 303 triggers the contact sensor 3021, it indicates that the shaft workpiece 1 is oriented incorrectly, and the shaft workpiece 1 needs to be rotated by 180° by the rotating manipulator 501.

[0040] As an implementation manner, the swing table 301 is a V-shaped piece, so that a placing channel 3012 is formed in the swing table 301, and the mounting piece 3022 at least partially extends to the end of the placing channel 3012, so as to limit the shaft workpiece 1 in the placing channel 3012 through the mounting piece 3022, prevent the shaft workpiece 1 from sliding out of the swing table 301 during the swing of the swing table 301, and ensure the stable use of the loading tool.

[0041] As an implementation manner, the depth of the placing channel 3012 is less than the radius of the shaft workpiece 1, so as to prevent the rotating manipulator 501 from interfering with the swing table 301 when clamping the shaft workpiece 1.

[0042] As an implementation manner, when the shaft workpiece 1 is located in the loading channel 201, the shaft workpiece 1 is inclined relative to the extension direction of the loading channel 201, and the inclination angle of the shaft line of the shaft workpiece 1 relative to the extension direction of the loading channel 201 is defined as a first inclination angle; when the shaft workpiece 1 is located on the swing table 301, the extension direction of the swing table 301 is inclined relative to the extension direction of the loading channel 201, and the inclination angle of the extension direction of the swing table 301 relative to the extension direction of the loading channel 201 is defined as a second inclination angle; the numerical value of the first inclination angle is consistent with the numerical value of the second inclination angle.

[0043] When the shaft workpiece 1 is placed on the swing table 301, the shaft line of the shaft workpiece 1 is horizontal after the swing table 301 swings, so as to facilitate the clamping of the shaft workpiece 1 by the rotating manipulator 501.

[0044] As an implementation manner, the orientation detection mechanism 3 further includes a mounting seat 304, and the swing table 301 is rotatably mounted on the mounting seat 304 through a rotating shaft. A limiting protrusion is formed on the end face of the mounting seat 304 facing the swing table 301, and the swing angle of the swing table 301 is limited through the limiting protrusion.

[0045] As shown in FIG. 1, the orientation detection mechanism 3 includes a loading tool 2 and an orientation detection mechanism 3. Figure 4 and Figure 5As an implementation form, the output mechanism 4 extends at least partially outside the clamping mechanism 5 in the vertical projection, so as to facilitate the external mechanical hand to clamp the shaft workpiece 1 on the output mechanism 4.

[0046] In order to facilitate the shaft workpiece 1 to be pushed to the position where the output mechanism 4 extends outside the clamping mechanism 5, the output mechanism 4 further comprises a pushing cylinder 403 connected with the support 402, when the shaft workpiece 1 is pushed, the pushing cylinder 403 works, and simultaneously pushes the shaft workpiece 1 and the support 402 to move, when the pushing cylinder 403 resets, the pushing cylinder 403 drives the support 402 to reset, so that the small-diameter section of the subsequent shaft workpiece 1 can abut against the support 402, so as to keep the axis of the shaft workpiece 1 in the horizontal state.

[0047] As an implementation form, the output mechanism 4 further comprises a positioning baffle 404 arranged at the end of the output channel 401 away from the pushing cylinder 403, so as to position the shaft workpiece 1 by the positioning baffle 404, and facilitate the external mechanical hand to clamp the shaft workpiece 1 on the output mechanism 4.

[0048] In order to ensure that the external mechanical hand can stably grab the shaft workpiece 1 on the output mechanism 4, after the pushing cylinder 403 abuts the shaft workpiece 1 to the positioning baffle 404, the pushing cylinder 403 needs to retreat a certain distance, so as to prevent the pushing cylinder 403 and the positioning baffle 404 from clamping the shaft workpiece 1.

[0049] As an implementation form, in order to prevent the support 402 from separating from the shaft workpiece 1 during the retreat of the pushing cylinder 403, the pushing cylinder 403 has a moving freedom relative to the support 402, so as to ensure that the support 402 is in a stationary state during the retreat of the pushing cylinder 403.

[0052] As shown in FIG. 4, the output mechanism 4 comprises an output channel 401 and a support 402, the output channel 401 is arranged in the clamping mechanism 5, and the support 402 is arranged in the output channel 401. Figure 7As an implementation form, the first clamping assembly 5011 includes a first pneumatic finger 50111 and a clamping plate 50112, the clamping plate 50112 is installed on the first pneumatic finger 50111, and the clamping plate 50112 is driven by the first pneumatic finger 50111.

[0053] A V-shaped groove is formed on the clamping plate 50112, the shaft workpiece 1 is clamped through the V-shaped groove, the clamping stability of the shaft workpiece 1 is ensured, and the shaft workpiece 1 is prevented from falling off the first clamping assembly 5011 when the rotating member 5012 rotates the first clamping assembly 5011.

[0054] The rotating member 5012 is a rotary cylinder and is installed on the moving assembly 502, so as to drive the first clamping assembly 5011 to rotate through the rotating member 5012.

[0055] As an implementation form, the clamping mechanism 5 further includes a fixed mechanical hand 503, which is matched with the feeding mechanism 2 and the orientation detection mechanism 3 respectively, so as to move the shaft workpiece 1 from the feeding mechanism 2 to the orientation detection mechanism 3; the rotating mechanical hand 501 is matched with the orientation detection mechanism 3 and the output mechanism 4 respectively, so as to move the shaft workpiece 1 from the orientation detection mechanism 3 to the output mechanism 4.

[0056] The fixed mechanical hand 503 includes a connecting column 5031, a second pneumatic finger 5032 and a clamping plate 5033, the second pneumatic finger 5032 is installed on the moving assembly 502 through the connecting column 5031, the clamping plate 5033 is connected with the second pneumatic finger 5032, and the clamping plate 5033 is driven by the second pneumatic finger 5032 to clamp the shaft workpiece 1.

[0057] Further, a rubber pad 5034 is installed on the clamping plate 5033, and the inclined shaft workpiece 1 is clamped by the deformation of the rubber pad 5034.

[0059] The connecting column 5031 and the rotating member 5012 are respectively installed on the mounting plate 5024.

[0060] As an implementation, the interval between the center position of the feeding channel 201 and the center position of the placing channel 3012 is consistent with the interval between the center position of the placing channel 3012 and the center position of the output channel 401.

[0061] Meanwhile, the interval between the clamping center position of the fixing robot 503 and the clamping center position of the rotating robot 501 is consistent with the interval between the center position of the feeding channel 201 and the center position of the placing channel 3012.

[0062] In this way, while the fixing robot 503 clamps the shaft workpiece 1 in the feeding channel 201, the rotating robot 501 can clamp the shaft workpiece 1 in the placing channel 3012.

[0063] Similarly, while the fixing robot 503 places the shaft workpiece 1 in the placing channel 3012, the rotating robot 501 can place the shaft workpiece 1 in the output channel 401.
