[0053] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects to be solved by the present application more clearly understood, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

When an element is referred to as being "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or indirectly connected to the other element.

[0055] It should be understood that the orientation or position relationship indicated by terms such as "length", "width", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside" and "outside" are based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as a limitation on the present application.

[0056] In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of this application, the meaning of "plurality" is two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0057] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 Now, the tube fitting 100 feeding device provided in the embodiment of the present application is described. The tube fitting 100 feeding device provided in the embodiment of the present application can be used to feed the tube fitting 100, especially the rectangular tube fitting 100.

[0058] See also Figure 1 The pipe 100 unloading device provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a frame 10, a turning mechanism 20, a clamping mechanism 30 and a conveying mechanism 40. The turning mechanism 20 is rotatably mounted on the frame 10 and is used to carry the pipe 100. The turning mechanism 20 includes a discharge position and a discharge position. The discharge position is used to place the pipe 100, and the discharge position is used to discharge the pipe 100.

[0059] The clamping mechanism 30 is disposed on the frame 10, and is used to clamp and fix the flipping mechanism 20 so that the flipping mechanism 20 is kept at the material discharging position; or to loosen the flipping mechanism 20 so that the flipping mechanism 20 is flipped to the material discharging position toward the side where the center of gravity of the pipe 100 is located. The conveying mechanism 40 is disposed on the frame 10, and is used to receive and convey the pipe 100 flipped by the flipping mechanism 20.

[0060] When the pipe 100 needs to be unloaded, first, the clamping mechanism 30 clamps and fixes the flipping mechanism 20, so that the flipping mechanism 20 is kept in the unloading position, and the pipe 100 can be placed in. Since the center of gravity of the rectangular pipe 100 is not in the vertical direction of the rotation axis of the flipping mechanism 20, after the pipe 100 is placed, the clamping mechanism 30 releases the flipping mechanism 20, which will cause the flipping mechanism 20 to flip to the unloading position toward the side where the center of gravity of the pipe 100 is located, so that the pipe 100 after being flipped by the flipping mechanism 20 can always keep the wide side facing upward, thereby avoiding the problem of uncontrollable orientation of the pipe 100 during the unloading process.

[0061] The pipe 100 unloading device provided in the embodiment of the present application is configured to realize the flipping of the pipe 100, thereby realizing automatic adjustment of the orientation of the pipe 100, and maintaining the orientation of the pipe 100 consistent, without the need to add an additional workstation to correct the orientation of the pipe 100, thereby greatly improving work efficiency.

[0062] See also Figure 3 to Figure 4 The clamping mechanism 30 may include a first clamping assembly 31, a second clamping assembly 32, and a driving assembly 33. The first clamping assembly 31 and the second clamping assembly 32 are respectively connected to the driving assembly 33 in a transmission manner, and are driven by the driving assembly 33 to move in a direction approaching each other to clamp and fix the flipping mechanism 20, or to move in a direction away from each other to release the flipping mechanism 20. When it is necessary to clamp and fix the flipping mechanism 20, the driving assembly 33 drives the first clamping assembly 31 and the second clamping assembly 32 to move in a direction approaching each other, thereby clamping the flipping mechanism 20. When it is necessary to release the flipping mechanism 20, the driving assembly 33 drives the first clamping assembly 31 and the second clamping assembly 32 to move in a direction away from each other, thereby releasing the flipping mechanism 20. The operation is very simple and convenient.

[0063] See also Figures 5 and 6The driving assembly 33 may include a connecting member 331, a driving member 332, a first connecting rod 333 and a second connecting rod 334. The connecting member 331 is movably arranged on the frame 10 so as to be able to be raised and lowered, that is, the connecting member 331 can be moved in a vertical direction. The driving member 332 is arranged on the frame 10, and is used to drive the connecting member 331 to be raised and lowered. One end of the first connecting rod 333 is rotatably connected to one end of the connecting member 331, and the other end is rotatably connected to the first clamping assembly 31. One end of the second connecting rod 334 is rotatably connected to the other end of the connecting member 331, and the other end is rotatably connected to the second clamping assembly 32. When the driving member 332 drives the connecting member 331 to rise, the first connecting rod 333 drives the first clamping assembly 31, and the second connecting rod 334 drives the second clamping assembly 32 to move in a direction of approaching each other to clamp and fix the flip mechanism 20. When the driving member 332 drives the connecting member 331 to descend, the first connecting rod 333 drives the first clamping assembly 31 and the second connecting rod 334 drives the second clamping assembly 32 to move in a direction away from each other to release the flip mechanism 20. Specifically, the driving member 332 can be a cylinder or a linear motor. The driving member 332 drives the connecting member 331 to rise and fall, and then drives the first connecting rod 333 and the second connecting rod 334 to clamp or release the first clamping assembly 31 and the second clamping assembly 32, and the clamping is stable and reliable.

[0064] See also Figures 5 and 6 The first clamping assembly 31 may include a first guide rail 311, a first slider 312, and a first clamping member 313. The first guide rail 311 is disposed on the frame 10 and extends along a first direction. Figure 3 As shown, the angle between the first direction and the vertical direction is an acute angle. The first slider 312 is slidably mounted on the first guide rail 311. The first clamping member 313 is disposed on the first slider 312, and the first slider 312 is rotatably connected to the other end of the first connecting rod 333.

[0065] The second clamping assembly 32 may include a second guide rail 321, a second slider 322, and a second clamping member 323. The second guide rail 321 is disposed on the frame 10 and extends along the second direction, and the angle between the second direction and the vertical direction is an acute angle. The second slider 322 is slidably mounted on the second guide rail 321. The second clamping member 323 is disposed on the second slider 322, and the second slider 322 is rotatably connected to the other end of the second connecting rod 334.

[0066] When the driving member 332 drives the connecting member 331 to rise, the first connecting rod 333 drives the first clamping member 313 to gradually approach the flip mechanism 20 along the first guide rail 311, and the second connecting rod 334 drives the second clamping member 323 to grasp and approach the flip mechanism 20 along the second guide rail 321. When the driving member 332 drives the connecting member 331 to descend, the first connecting rod 333 drives the first clamping member 313 to gradually move away from the flip mechanism 20 along the first guide rail 311, and the second connecting rod 334 drives the second clamping member 323 to gradually move away from the flip mechanism 20 along the second guide rail 321. Through the cooperation between the first guide rail 311 and the first slider 312, and the cooperation between the second guide rail 321 and the second slider 322, the first clamping member 313 and the second clamping member 323 can move more accurately to avoid displacement.

[0067] See also Figure 5 and Figure 6 The driving assembly 33 may further include a third guide rail 335 and a third slider 336. The third guide rail 335 is vertically arranged on the frame 10. The third slider 336 is slidably mounted on the third guide rail 335. The connecting member 331 is connected to the third slider 336. By arranging the cooperation between the third guide rail 335 and the third slider 336, the connecting member 331 can be precisely moved in the vertical direction to avoid displacement.

[0068] See also Figure 7 The turning mechanism 20 may include a turning frame 21 and a swinging member 22. The turning frame 21 is rotatably mounted on the frame 10 and is used to carry the pipe 100. The swinging member 22 is disposed at one end of the turning frame 21. The clamping mechanism 30 is used to clamp and fix the swinging member 22 or release the swinging member 22. When the clamping mechanism 30 releases the swinging member 22, the swinging member 22 drives the turning frame 21 to turn over.

[0069] See also Figure 7 The flip mechanism 20 may further include a connecting rod assembly 23, which includes a fourth guide rail 231, a fourth slider 232 and a third connecting rod 233. The fourth guide rail 231 is arranged on the frame 10 in the vertical direction. The fourth slider 232 can be slidably mounted on the fourth guide rail 231. One end of the third connecting rod 233 is rotatably connected to the swing member 22, and the other end is rotatably connected to the fourth slider 232. By setting the third connecting rod 233, and making one end of the third connecting rod 233 rotatably connected to the swing member 22, and the other end is rotatably connected to the fourth slider 232, when the swing member 22 rotates, the third connecting rod 233 will drive the fourth slider 232 to slide on the fourth guide rail 231. Specifically, the fourth guide rail 231 can be shared with the third guide rail 335, that is, the third slider 336 and the fourth slider 232 can be simultaneously arranged on the same guide rail, thereby saving costs and making the structure simpler.

The conveying mechanism 40 may include a plurality of conveying rollers 41 arranged on the frame 10 at intervals along the third direction, and each supporting member 212 and each conveying roller 41 are staggered from each other along the third direction, so that when the supporting member 212 is turned over to the unloading position, the supporting member 212 extends between two conveying rollers 41, and at this time, the conveying roller 41 can directly contact the pipe 100 and convey the pipe 100. The third direction is perpendicular to the vertical direction.
