DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] In order to make the purpose, features, and advantages of the present disclosure more obvious and easy to understand, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0026] refer to Figure 1-Figure 4 , the disclosed embodiment provides an automatic unloading and sorting device 001, including: a conveying mechanism 10, the conveying mechanism 10 includes a conveying chain plate 11, a lifting baffle 12 and a side pushing mechanism 13; it should be noted here that the conveying chain plate 11 is driven by a driving motor, and accordingly, a reducer and a synchronous transmission device can be configured as needed, and the synchronous transmission device can adopt any one of a gear transmission group, a sprocket transmission group or a roller transmission group, which depends on the specific transmission method of the conveying chain plate 11. In addition, it should be pointed out that the conveying direction of the conveying chain plate 11 is the same as the length direction of the material pipe, and the conveying chain plate 11 is used to carry the material pipe, so that the material pipe can be moved to the target position in a unified direction. Specifically, the lifting baffle 12 is located at the end of the conveying chain plate 11, and the lifting baffle 12 is used to limit the stop position of the material pipe; the side pushing mechanism 13 is located on one side of the conveying chain plate 11, and the side pushing mechanism 13 is used to push the material pipe to the temporary storage station 14;

[0027] Furthermore, the automatic material unloading and sorting device 001 of the disclosed embodiment further includes a flexible material frame 20, which is connected to one side of the temporary storage station 14. Specifically, the flexible material frame 20 and the conveying chain plate 11 are respectively located on opposite sides of the temporary storage station 14, and a plurality of support belts 21 are arranged on the end surface of the flexible material frame 20. The support belts 21 are configured to be able to adjust their own bearing angles within a preset range, and the support belts 21 are used to carry a plurality of material tubes pushed by the side push mechanism 13. In this way, the support belt 21 can carry a plurality of batches of material tubes in the process of changing the bending angle, and the noise can be minimized when the material tubes are pushed to the support belt 21.

[0028] Specifically, the flexible material frame 20 includes a first support frame 22 and a second support frame 23 arranged opposite to the first support frame 22, and the bottom surface of the first support frame 22 is slidably matched with the bottom surface of the second support frame 23. Exemplarily, a slide rail and slider combination structure is configured between the first support frame 22 and the second support frame 23, wherein one of the first support frame 22 and the second support frame 23 is detachably connected to the slider, and the other of the first support frame 22 and the second support frame 23 is detachably connected to the slide rail.

[0029] In addition, an open accommodating space 24 is formed between the first support frame 22 and the second support frame 23, and a support belt 21 is hung between the first support frame 22 and the second support frame 23. The first support frame 22 and the second support frame 23 are relatively arranged in multiple groups to form multiple groups of open accommodating spaces 24, and each support belt 21 performs a flexible angle change of less than or equal to 180° in each open accommodating space 24.

[0030] Thus, in actual application, in the initial state, the first support frame 22 and the second support frame 23 are at the farthest distance, at which time, the support belt 21 is in a stretched state, which can be understood as the support belt 21 forming a 180° angle as a whole. When the material tube is pushed by the side push mechanism 13, the support belt 21 is in a position flush with the temporary storage station 14, and the process of the material tube entering the support belt 21 can reduce the collision noise caused by the height displacement difference. Afterwards, as the number of pushed material tubes increases, the first support frame 22 and the second support frame 23 slide relative to each other, and during the relative movement between the two, the support belt 21 can be adjusted from a stretched state to a parabolic shape with the opening facing upward, so that the support depth of the support belt 21 can be deepened, and then the sawed material tubes can be automatically unloaded into the material frame layer by layer, so as to further realize that the state of the support belt 21 in the material frame changes with the number of material tubes, which is convenient for the automatic operation of the overall unloading and sorting process.

[0031] Considering the stable limiting fixation of the support belt 21 between the first support frame 22 and the second support frame 23, the first support frame 22 has a limiting device 221 for fixing one end of the support belt 21, and one end of the support belt 21 is clamped and fixed in the limiting device 221 after at least one circle of winding, and extends from the top surface of the first support frame 22; the other end of the support belt 21 is fixed to the top surface of the second support frame 23. Exemplarily, the limiting device 221 includes a winding assembly 2211 and a clamping assembly 2212, and the clamping assembly 2212 is located above the blending assembly 2211, and the winding assembly 2211 and the clamping assembly 2212 are both installed on the outer facade of the first support frame 22. Exemplarily, the winding assembly 2211 includes a winding shaft and fixing plates fixed on both sides of the winding shaft, and an installation gap is left between the winding shaft and the outer facade of the first support frame 22. Exemplarily, the clamping assembly includes two planar plates that are detachably assembled with each other, wherein one of the planar plates has a continuous toothed structure on a side close to the other planar plate, and the continuous toothed structure is used to provide a locking friction force for the support belt 21 that forms an angle with its moving direction.

[0032] Specifically, the top surfaces of the first support frame 22 and the second support frame 23 are both constructed as a planar structure. In this way, it is easy for the support belt 21 to slide and move on the top surfaces of the two support frames. Exemplarily, the top surfaces of the first support frame 22 and the second support frame 22 both adopt the structure of the aforementioned clamping assembly 2212, the difference being that the clamping assembly 2212 in the limiting device 221 is installed in a vertical manner, and the clamping assemblies 2212 of the two support frames are assembled in a horizontal manner.

[0033] Specifically, the flexible material frame 20 further includes a first oil cylinder 25, a push rod of the first oil cylinder 25 is connected to the first support frame 22, and the first oil cylinder 25 is used to push the first support frame 22 to move toward or away from the second support frame 23 to adjust the size of the open accommodation space 24. In this way, under the power of the first oil cylinder 25, the first support frame 22 can adjust the sliding position relative to the second support frame 23 according to actual needs, and further adjust the support angle of the support belt 21.

[0034] Specifically, the temporary storage station 14 is provided with a material blocking mechanism 30, or the edge of the flexible material frame 20 is provided with the material blocking mechanism 30. Exemplarily, the temporary storage station 14 and the flexible material frame 20 are connected with a material blocking mechanism 30, and the material blocking mechanism 30 includes a material blocking plate 31, a second oil cylinder 33 and a connecting rod unit 32. The second oil cylinder 33 is connected to the material blocking plate 31 through the connecting rod unit 32, and can drive the material blocking plate 31 to rotate within a preset angle; when the material blocking plate 31 rotates to protrude from the top surface of the temporary storage station 14, the material blocking plate 31 can block the material tube from moving toward the flexible material frame 20. Exemplarily, the material blocking mechanism 30 is assembled at the edge of the flexible material frame 20. In this way, under the setting of the material blocking mechanism 30, a preset number of material tubes can be temporarily stored in the temporary storage station 14. When the number of material tubes reaches a certain number, the side push mechanism 13 can push a certain number of material tubes as a whole to the flexible material frame 20.

[0035] Furthermore, the side thrust mechanism 13 includes a third oil cylinder 131 and a side thrust plate assembly 132 transmission-connected to the third oil cylinder 131, the side thrust plate assembly 132 includes at least two thrust plates, each thrust plate is assembled into a stable supporting structure, and the thrust plate close to the material pipe has a thrust surface, which is used to provide a thrust force for the material pipe to move toward the temporary storage station 14.

[0036] Furthermore, the conveying mechanism 10 further includes a centering and pressing mechanism 15, which is located at the end of the conveying chain plate 11. The centering and pressing mechanism 15 includes a clamping mechanism 152 driven by a first cylinder 151, and the clamping mechanism 152 is configured to be driven by the first cylinder 151 to move toward the material pipe in a vertical direction, so as to limit and align the material pipe. Exemplarily, the clamping mechanism 152 includes a clamping plate 1521, and the clamping plate 1521 has a pair of positive notches 15211. The opening direction of the alignment notch 15211 is set close to one side of the material pipe, and the size of the opening line segment of the alignment notch 15211 gradually decreases from the opening of the clamping plate 1521 toward the direction away from the material pipe. Exemplarily, the alignment notch 15211 is constructed as an angular notch with the opening facing downward.

[0037] Considering the automatic control of the number of material pipes and the bending angle of the support belt 21 in the automatic unloading and sorting device 001 of the embodiment of the present disclosure, the automatic unloading and sorting device 001 also includes a first sensor 16 and a second sensor 17; the first sensor 16 is located at the end of the conveying chain plate 11, and is used to sense whether the material pipe has moved to the bottom of the centering downward pressure mechanism 15, and is also used to calculate the number of material pipes; there are multiple second sensors 17, and each second sensor 17 is installed at intervals on the bottom surface of the second support frame 23. The bottom surface of the first support frame 22 is provided with a baffle plate 222, and the baffle plate 222 can move with the first support frame 22, and each second sensor 17 can respectively sense the arrival information of the baffle plate 222.

[0038] Of course, the automatic unloading and sorting device 001 of the embodiment of the present disclosure also includes a controller, which can be electrically connected to the first sensor 16, the second sensor 17, the first oil cylinder 25, the second oil cylinder 33, the third oil cylinder 131, the first air cylinder 151, and the slide rail slider structure. The movement of the slider in the slide rail slider structure is controlled by the counting of the first sensor 16, and the support angle of the support belt 21 is controlled by the in-place information of the second sensor 17. In addition, the controller can also control the automatic pushing of the first oil cylinder 25, the second oil cylinder 33 and the third oil cylinder 131.

[0039] In summary, by using the automatic material unloading and sorting device 001 of the disclosed embodiment, the flexible material frame 20 can automatically adjust the appropriate material frame size according to the number of material tubes. In the initial state, the support belt 21 of the flexible material frame 20 is in a stretched state, which can be understood as the support belt 21 forming a 180° angle as a whole. In this way, when the material tube is pushed over by the side push mechanism 13, the support belt 21 is in a position flush with the temporary storage station 14, and the process of the material tube entering the support belt 21 can reduce the collision noise caused by the height displacement difference. Afterwards, as the number of pushed material tubes continues to increase, the flexible material frame 20 can adjust the support belt 21 from a stretched state to a parabolic shape with the opening facing upward, so that the support depth of the support belt 21 can be deepened, and then the sawed material tubes can be automatically unloaded into the material frame layer by layer, so as to further realize that the state of the support belt 21 in the material frame changes with the number of material tubes, which is convenient for the automatic operation of the overall unloading and sorting process.
