[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be arbitrarily combined with each other.

[0026] This application provides a stacking device for stacking pipes. The stacking device includes a frame, a grinding device, a sorting device, a support device, and a coating device. The grinding device is mounted on the frame. When the axis of the pipe is in a first direction, the grinding device can grind the end of the pipe. The sorting device is located at the discharge end of the grinding device. The sorting device is used to flip the pipe so that the axis of the ground pipe is in a second direction, which is perpendicular to the first direction. The support device is located at the discharge end of the sorting device and is used to transfer the pipes on the sorting device to the coating device. The coating device is located at the end of the support device away from the sorting device and is used to coat the pipes with film. This application uses a grinding device to grind the end face of the pipe to improve the quality of the pipe end face; after the ground pipe is sorted by a sorting device, it is easy for the stacking device to transfer the sorted pipe to the film-coating device, and the film-coating device will then wrap the pipe; using the stacking equipment of this application can effectively improve the efficiency of stacking and packaging pipes, reduce the intensity of manual labor, and help improve the quality of the pipe end face.

[0027] The specific embodiments described below are intended to help those skilled in the art understand this application, but this application is not limited to the specific embodiments described below.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, an exemplary embodiment of this application provides a stacking device for stacking pipes. The stacking device includes a frame 1, a grinding device 2, a sorting device 3, a support device 4, and a coating device 5. The grinding device 2 is mounted on the frame 1. When the axis of the pipe is in a first direction, the grinding device 2 can grind the end of the pipe. The sorting device 3 is located at the discharge end of the grinding device 2. The sorting device 3 is used to flip the pipe so that the axis of the ground pipe is in a second direction, which is perpendicular to the first direction. The support device 4 is located at the discharge end of the sorting device 3 and is used to transfer the pipe on the sorting device 3 to the coating device 5. The coating device 5 is located at the end of the support device 4 away from the sorting device 3 and is used to coat the pipe with film.

[0029] The tubing can be a core for fiberglass winding, such as a paper tube. Frame 1 is the main supporting frame of the stacking equipment, which can be welded from square steel, angle iron, round steel, iron plate, etc. The surface of the main supporting frame is connected by electric welding without any defects. The internal space is used to install various parts of the equipment, which are connected by screws. Adjustable anchor bolts are provided at the bottom to improve the overall stability of the equipment.

[0030] When the pipe is conveyed to the grinding device 2, its axis is in the first direction, which can be horizontal, for example, the first direction can be... Figure 1In the x-direction; when the axis of the pipe is horizontal, both end faces of the pipe can be exposed to facilitate grinding by the grinding device 2. After grinding the end faces of the pipe, the pipe is conveyed to the sorting device 3 along the conveying direction, for example, the conveying direction can be... Figure 1 The y-direction. Then, the tube is flipped using the straightening device 3 so that the axis of the polished tube is in the second direction, which can be vertical. For example, the second direction can be... Figure 1 In the z-direction; at this point, the pipe is upright, which improves its stability and, with the pipe ends facing upwards, facilitates the gripping and transferring of the pipe by the swing-support device 4. The swing-support device 4 transfers the sorted pipes to the coating device 5, where the pipes are coated and packaged. To improve production efficiency, multiple pipes can be transferred from the swing-support device 4 to the coating device 5, stacked, and then simultaneously coated and packaged by the coating device 5. This also improves the overall stability of the pipes, facilitating handling and transportation.

[0031] In this embodiment, the grinding device 2, the sorting device 3, the balancing device 4 and the film coating device 5 work together to achieve grinding, sorting, transfer and film coating of the pipes, which effectively improves the efficiency of stacking and packaging the pipes, reduces the intensity of manual labor, and helps to improve the end face quality of the pipes.

[0032] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the sorting device 3 includes a first sorting part 31, a flipping mechanism 32, and a second sorting part 33. The first sorting part 31 is located at the discharge end of the grinding device 2 and is used to receive the ground pipe. The flipping mechanism 32 is connected to the first sorting part 31 and is used to drive the first sorting part 31 to flip. The second sorting part 33 is located on one side of the first sorting part 31 and is used to receive the pipe after it has been flipped by the first sorting part 31.

[0033] In this embodiment, after the first sorting part 31 receives the polished pipe, it is driven to flip by the flipping mechanism 32 to change the axis of the pipe located on the first sorting part 31 from the first direction to the second direction, that is, the pipe is changed from being placed horizontally to being placed vertically. At this time, the second sorting part 33 can receive the pipe after it has been flipped by the first sorting part 31, so as to serve as a temporary storage area for multiple pipes.

[0034] The first sorting section 31 can be, for example, a flipping plate, with one end of the flipping plate near the second sorting section 33 hinged to the frame 1; the flipping mechanism 32 can be, for example, a flipping cylinder, which can drive the flipping plate to rotate, and the flipping plate can be flipped at an angle of 80°-90°. The second sorting section 33 can be, for example, a support plate, for supporting the pipes.

[0035] To improve production efficiency, in one embodiment, the finishing device 3 further includes a pushing part 34 and a pushing mechanism 35. The pushing part 34 is located below the second finishing part 33 and can be inserted into the inner cavity of the tube located in the second finishing part 33. The pushing mechanism 35 is connected to the pushing part 34 and is used to drive the pushing part 34 to reciprocate between the feeding end and the discharging end of the second finishing part 33.

[0036] In this embodiment, the feeding end of the second sorting section 33 is located at the hinge position between the first sorting section 31 and the frame 1, and the discharging end of the second sorting section 33 is located near the swing support device 4. After the first sorting section 31 is flipped, the flipped tube is at the feeding end of the second sorting section 33. At this time, the pushing part 34 can be inserted into the inner cavity of the tube. The pushing mechanism 35 pushes the pushing part 34 towards the discharging end of the second sorting section 33. After the pushing is completed, the pushing mechanism 35 drives the pushing part 34 towards the feeding end of the second sorting section 33, and the pushing part 34 resets, waiting for the next pushing.

[0037] The second sorting section 33 can also consist of multiple support rods spaced apart along the conveying direction (i.e., the y-direction), with space between adjacent support rods for the insertion of the pusher section 34. The pusher section 34 can include multiple push rods and a first lifting cylinder connected to the multiple push rods. The number of push rods corresponds to the number of pipes arranged along the y-direction on the second sorting section 33. For example, Figure 2 In the example, six pipes are placed on the second sorting section 33, so six push rods can also be provided. Before pushing, the push rods are located below the space between adjacent support rods. When a pipe is placed at the feed end of the second sorting section 33, the first lifting cylinder can drive the push rods to rise and insert into the inner cavity of the pipe. Then, the pushing mechanism 35 drives multiple push rods to move towards the discharge end of the second sorting section 33, so as to move multiple pipes to the discharge end of the second sorting section 33 at the same time.

[0038] The pushing mechanism 35 may include a pushing cylinder and a positioning cylinder. The pushing cylinder is connected to the pushing section 34 to drive the pushing section 34 to move in a first direction. The positioning cylinder is connected to the pushing cylinder to drive the pushing cylinder to move in the y-direction, allowing the pushing cylinder to move alternately in the y-direction while driving the pushing section 34. That is, during the first pushing, multiple tubes are pushed to the discharge end of the second sorting section 33. After the pushing section 34 is reset, the positioning cylinder drives the pushing cylinder to move a certain distance in the y-direction. During the second pushing, multiple tubes are pushed to the discharge end of the second sorting section 33. This allows the multiple tubes placed in the second push to be offset in the y-direction relative to the multiple tubes placed in the first push, resulting in a cross arrangement of multiple tubes. This facilitates a tight arrangement of the tubes, reduces empty spaces, and increases the number of tubes stored on the second sorting section 33.

[0039] In one embodiment, the finishing device 3 further includes a first baffle 36, which is located at the end of the first finishing part 31 away from the grinding device 2, and is used to restrict the detachment of the ground pipe and adjust the position of the ground pipe on the first finishing part 31.

[0040] In this embodiment, after the polished pipe enters the first sorting section 31, the first baffle section 36 is located at the end of the first sorting section 31 away from the polishing device 2, which can play a limiting role and prevent the polished pipe from falling off the first sorting section 31.

[0041] The first baffle section 36 includes a first baffle plate 361 mounted on the frame 1 and a first baffle cylinder 362 connected to the first baffle plate 361. The first baffle cylinder 362 can drive the first baffle plate 361 to move along the length direction (i.e., along the y-direction) of the first sorting section 31 to adjust the position of the polished tubes on the first sorting section 31. For example, the first baffle plate 361 can block rolling tubes to prevent them from falling off the first sorting section 31; at the same time, the first baffle cylinder 362 extends and retracts in single and double layers, which can make the tubes arranged in a cross pattern to improve the utilization rate of the storage space of the second sorting section 33.

[0042] In one embodiment, the sorting device 3 further includes a second baffle 37 located between the first sorting part 31 and the second sorting part 33, for restricting the movement of the inverted pipe.

[0043] In this embodiment, the second baffle 37 can block the pipe when it is flipped, thereby limiting the movement of the flipped pipe. The second baffle 37 includes a second baffle plate 371 mounted on the frame 1 and a second baffle cylinder 372 connected to the second baffle plate 371. The second baffle plate 371 is located between the first sorting section 31 and the second sorting section 33. Before the first sorting section 31 is flipped, the second baffle cylinder 372 drives the second baffle plate 371 downwards to block the movement of the pipe. After the pipe is flipped into position, the second drive cylinder drives the second baffle plate 371 upwards, pushing the flipped pipe to the discharge end of the second sorting section 33 via the pushing mechanism 35.

[0044] A first sensor 38 may be provided at the feeding end of the first sorting section 31. The first sensor 38 may be a photoelectric sensor, for example. The stacking equipment also includes a controller. The first sensor 38, the controller, the flipping mechanism 32 and the second baffle cylinder 372 are all electrically connected. When the first sorting section 31 receives multiple tubes, the first sensor 38 transmits a signal to the controller. The controller controls the operation of the flipping mechanism 32 and the second baffle cylinder 372 respectively. The second baffle cylinder 372 drives the second baffle plate 371 to move downward. At the same time, the flipping cylinder drives the first sorting section 31 to rotate so as to turn the horizontally placed tubes into vertical ones.

[0045] In order to achieve precise pushing or conveying of pipes, the stacking equipment of this application can be equipped with a photoelectric sensor on one side of any drive mechanism, and the action of the drive mechanism can be controlled through the electrical connection of the photoelectric sensor, the controller and the drive mechanism.

[0046] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the coating device 5 includes a supporting structure 51, a rotating mechanism 52, a coating structure 53, and a film-cutting mechanism 54. The supporting structure 51 is located at the end of the swing support device 4 away from the sorting device 3 and is used to support the pipes transferred by the swing support device 4. The rotating mechanism 52 is connected to the supporting structure 51 and is used to drive the supporting structure 51 to rotate. The coating structure 53 is located at one end of the supporting structure 51. A wrapping film is provided on the coating structure 53 for coating the pipes on the supporting structure 51. The film-cutting mechanism 54 is located between the coating structure 53 and the supporting structure 51 and is used to separate the wrapping film on the coating structure 53 from the wrapping film on the pipes.

[0047] In this embodiment, the supporting structure 51 can be used to support the pipe transferred by the swing support device 4. The wrapping film on the film-coating structure 53 is introduced onto the pipe located in the supporting structure 51. Then, the supporting structure 51 is driven to rotate by the rotating mechanism 52 so that the wrapping film can be wrapped around the circumference of the pipe to achieve film packaging of the pipe. When the wrapping is in place, the film-cutting mechanism 54 can separate the wrapping film on the film-coating structure 53 from the wrapping film on the pipe to complete the packaging of the pipe.

[0048] The supporting structure 51 can be, for example, a supporting pallet, and the rotating mechanism 52 can be, for example, a rotating chain plate. The supporting pallet is set on the rotating chain plate, which can realize the rotation of the supporting pallet so that the stretch film can wrap the stretch film located on the supporting pallet. At the same time, the rotating chain plate can also realize the transportation of the supporting pallet to reduce the intensity of manual labor.

[0049] The coating structure 53 can be, for example, a support assembly capable of supporting the wrapping film. The film cutting mechanism 54 may include a clamping head 541 disposed on the frame 1, a heat-pressing strip 542 disposed on the clamping head 541, and an ejection cylinder connected to the clamping head 541. The top of the clamping head 541 is provided with a groove. When the wrapping is in place, the ejection cylinder ejects the clamping head 541, and the wrapping film is located in the groove of the clamping head 541; then the heat-pressing strip 542 heats and cuts the wrapping film to separate the wrapping film on the coating structure 53 from the wrapping film on the pipe.

[0050] In one embodiment, the coating device 5 further includes a tension conveying roller 55 and an application guide roller 56 disposed on the frame 1. The tension conveying roller 55 is located between the supporting structure 51 and the coating structure 53 and is used to guide the wrapping film on the coating structure 53. The application guide roller 56 is located between the tension conveying roller 55 and the supporting structure 51 and is used to guide the wrapping film so that the wrapping film is applied to the circumference of the pipe.

[0051] In this embodiment, when the pipe located on the supporting structure 51 is coated and wound, the wrapping film on the coating structure 53 can be pulled out first and wound onto the tension conveying roller 55 and the application guide roller 56. The application guide roller 56 can guide the wrapping film onto the pipe. Then, the rotating mechanism 52 drives the supporting structure 51 to rotate, and the wrapping film is wound onto the pipe located on the supporting structure 51. At the same time, the application guide roller 56 can apply the wrapping film onto the pipe, so that the wrapping film is tightly attached to the circumference of the pipe.

[0052] In one embodiment, the coating device 5 further includes a first conveying mechanism 57 and a second conveying mechanism 58. The first conveying mechanism 57 is located at the end of the bearing structure 51 away from the swing support device 4 and is used to output the coated pipe. The second conveying mechanism 58 is located at the discharge end of the first conveying mechanism 57 and is used to receive the pipe output by the first conveying mechanism 57 and can be raised and lowered to output the pipe.

[0053] In this embodiment, the first conveying mechanism 57 and the second conveying mechanism 58 can output the coated pipes, further reducing the intensity of manual labor. The first conveying mechanism 57 can be a conveyor chain plate, which can keep the conveying direction of the rotating chain plate consistent with that of the conveyor chain plate during pipe transport, allowing the conveyor chain plate to transport the complete pipes output by the rotating chain plate. The second conveying mechanism 58 can be a lifting chain plate, which can adjust the height of the output pipes to facilitate forklift insertion into the lifting chain plate to remove the complete pipes.

[0054] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5As shown, the grinding device 2 includes a support structure 21, a fixing mechanism 22, and a grinding mechanism 23. The support structure 21 is mounted on the frame 1 and is used to support the pipe. The fixing mechanism 22 is located above the support structure 21 and is used to fix the pipe. The grinding mechanism 23 is used to grind the ends of the fixed pipe.

[0055] In this embodiment, the pipe is supported by the support structure 21 and fixed by the fixing mechanism 22 to prevent the pipe from moving; then the end of the fixed pipe is polished by the grinding mechanism 23 to remove paper scraps from the end of the pipe and improve the end face quality of the pipe.

[0056] The supporting structure 21 can be a grinding head clamp plate mounted on the frame 1, with multiple semi-circular grooves to support the pipe. The fixing mechanism 22 can include a pressing cylinder that presses against the pipe located on the supporting structure 21 to fix it. The grinding mechanism 23 can include a grinding head mold 231 and a grinding head cylinder 232 mounted on the frame 1. The grinding head cylinder 232 is horizontally mounted on the frame 1, and one end of the grinding head cylinder 232 is connected to the grinding head mold 231 to push out the grinding head mold 231, allowing the grinding head mold 231 to grind the pipe. Two grinding mechanisms 23 can be provided, located at opposite ends of the supporting structure 21, so that both ends of the pipe can be ground simultaneously by the two grinding mechanisms 23 to improve grinding efficiency. The grinding head mold 231 can be mounted on a shaft and continuously rotated, and the grinding head quality is controlled by rotational grinding.

[0057] The grinding device 2 also includes a fourth conveying mechanism 24, which is used to convey the pipes to the grinding device 2. The fourth conveying mechanism 24 can be, for example, a conveyor chain with V-shaped buckles for fixing the pipes and facilitating transportation. The feeding end of the grinding device 2 is provided with a third baffle 25, which includes a third baffle plate mounted on the frame 1, a third baffle cylinder connected to the third baffle plate, and a second sensor mounted on the feeding end of the grinding device 2. The second sensor is electrically connected to both the third baffle cylinder and the grinding head cylinder. The second sensor is used to sense the pipes entering the grinding device 23 through the fourth conveying mechanism 24. The third baffle plate can be used for continuous baffle of a single pipe. The third baffle cylinder can extend and retract the third baffle plate to ensure that the pipes enter the grinding device 23 one after another in sequence.

[0058] In one embodiment, such as Figure 6As shown, the swing device 4 includes a gripping mechanism 41, a transfer mechanism 42, and a storage structure 43. The gripping mechanism 41 is used to grip or release the pipe. The transfer mechanism 42 is connected to the gripping mechanism 41 and is used to transfer the pipe gripped by the gripping mechanism 41 to the coating device 5. The storage structure 43 is used to store multiple gripping mechanisms 41.

[0059] In this embodiment, the gripping mechanism 41 can grip the pipe on the sorting device 3, and the transfer mechanism 42 drives the gripping mechanism 41 to move to the coating device 5. The gripping mechanism 41 releases the pipe to realize the transfer of the pipe.

[0060] The gripping mechanism 41 includes a gripping plate 411, a gripping head 412 disposed on the gripping plate 411, and a pipe gripping cylinder 413. The gripping head 412 is composed of hooks arranged in a triangular shape, which effectively grips the pipe through the force of the triangle to prevent the pipe from falling off. The pipe gripping cylinder 413 is used to control the extension and retraction of the gripping head 412.

[0061] The transfer mechanism 42 may include a robot 421 and a servo motor 422 mounted on the robot 421. The robot 421 may be a six-axis robot, and its motion trajectory is controlled by a specific program. The servo motor 422 controls the engagement between the components of the robot 421, facilitating quick switching between gripping mechanisms 41 for different pipe specifications and simplifying operation. Two storage structures 43 may be provided, each positioned at one end of the transfer mechanism 42, to store gripping mechanisms 41 of different sizes. The storage structure 43 may include a storage rack, on which multiple gripping mechanisms 41 can be placed for pipes of different sizes. These mechanisms can be freely placed and engaged by the robot 421 to accommodate various types of pipes.

[0062] In one embodiment, such as Figure 7 As shown, the stacking equipment also includes a pallet replenishing device 6, which is located at one end of the coating device 5. The pallet replenishing device 6 includes multiple pallets 61, a clamping mechanism 62, and a third conveying mechanism 63. The clamping mechanism 62 is used to clamp multiple pallets 61; the third conveying mechanism 63 is used to carry multiple pallets 61 and convey one of the multiple pallets 61 to the coating device 5.

[0063] In this embodiment, the pallet replenishment device 6 can replenish the pallets 61 on the laminating device 5, thereby reducing manual labor intensity. The clamping mechanism 62 may include two clamping elements 621, a clamping cylinder 622 connected to the clamping elements 621, and a second lifting cylinder 623. The third conveying mechanism 63 may be, for example, a conveyor chain, used to convey the pallets 61 to the laminating device 5. Multiple pallets 61 can be stacked simultaneously on the pallet replenishment device 6, with the two clamping elements 621 located at opposite ends of the multiple pallets 61. Upon receiving a signal to convey pallets 61, the clamping mechanism 62 drives the clamping elements 621 to clamp the remaining multiple pallets 61 (excluding the bottom one), and the second lifting cylinder 623 drives the multiple pallets 61 upwards. At this time, one pallet 61 remains on the conveyor chain, which is driven by a motor and is in a rolling state. The conveyor chain conveys the pallet 61 to the rotating chain of the laminating device 5 and then stops moving.

[0064] In summary, the stacking method of this application can realize the automatic packaging of pipes, overcoming the problems of low production efficiency, high labor intensity, and time and labor costs caused by existing manual operations, and has great industrial practical value.
