[0030] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned purpose, features and advantages of the utility model, the scheme of the utility model will be further described below. It should be noted that the embodiments of the utility model and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0031] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention, but the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; obviously, the embodiments in the specification are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0032] Reference Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this embodiment provides a continuous feeding mechanism for connecting a cutting machine 1 and a punching machine 4 in series, including a guide assembly, a transfer box 3, a transmission assembly and a lifting assembly.

[0033] Among them, the guide component is arranged on the cutting machine 1, which is used to guide the cut steel pipe 2; the transfer box 3 is arranged near the punching machine 4, which is used to stack the steel pipe 2; the transmission component includes a first conveying track group 5 and a second conveying track group 6 which are arranged obliquely, one end of the first conveying track group 5 is hingedly connected to the guide component to receive the steel pipe 2 on the guide component, and the other end is arranged at the punching port 401 of the punching machine 4 to transfer the steel pipe 2 to the punching port 401 for punching, the second conveying track group 6 is arranged on the base of the punching machine 4, one end of the second conveying track group 6 is arranged with the punching port 401 separated from the first conveying track group 5, and the other end is connected to the transfer box 3; the lifting component 7 is arranged at the bottom end of the punching port 401 to lift the steel pipe 2 transferred to the punching port 401 along the first conveying track group 5, so that the steel pipe 2 falls onto the second conveying track group 6 until it is transferred to the transfer box 3.

[0034] In the process of producing rods, the steel pipe 2 must first be cut into the specified length required for production by the cutting machine 1, and then the cut steel pipe 2 must be transported to the punching machine 4 for punching. However, this process requires workers to manually pick up and place the steel pipe 2 many times, which has low production efficiency and poses a great safety risk. The continuous feeding mechanism provided in this embodiment is used to connect the cutting machine 1 and the punching machine 4 in series, and there is no need to manually transport the steel pipe 2. Specifically, a guide assembly is provided on the cutting machine 1, and the guide assembly is provided corresponding to the end of the steel pipe, so that the steel pipe 2 cut by the cutting machine 1 slides along the guide assembly to the transmission assembly, and the first conveying track group 5 and the second conveying track group 6 are inclinedly provided, so that the steel pipe 2 falling into the first conveying track group 5 can slide along the first conveying track group 5 to the punching opening 401 of the punching machine 4. A support that can accommodate the steel pipe 2 is provided at the punching port 401, and two supports are symmetrically provided on the punching machine 4 along the length direction of the steel pipe 2. The steel pipe 2 slides into the support along the first conveying track group 5, and the punch in the punching port 401 clamps the end of the steel pipe 2 to punch the steel pipe 2 that falls into the support. The punched steel pipe 2 is lifted up by the lifting assembly 7, so that the steel pipe 2 falls into the second conveying track group 6. The steel pipe 2 slides into the transfer box 3 along the second conveying track group 6 and is stacked in the transfer box 3. This continuous feeding mechanism realizes automatic continuous feeding, improves work efficiency, and does not require manual handling, ensures the safety of workers, reduces costs, and this mechanism has a simple structure, does not require modification of the cutting machine 1 and the punching machine 4, and is easy to maintain in the later stage.

[0035] Further, see Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the guide assembly includes a first inclined member 8 and a second inclined member 9 respectively arranged at both ends of the steel pipe 2, and both ends of the first inclined member 8 and the second inclined member 9 extend beyond the end of the steel pipe 2; the inclination of the first inclined member 8 is smaller than the inclination of the second inclined member 9, and the inclination of the first inclined member 8 is equal to the inclination of the first conveying track group 5 and the second conveying track group 6. Specifically, the guide assembly includes two inclined members, both of which have an inclination, and the two inclined members are respectively arranged at the bottom of the two ends of the steel pipe 2, the first inclined member 8 is arranged on the machine base of the cutting machine 1, and the second inclined member 9 is arranged on the motor slider of the cutting machine 1. By moving the motor of the cutting machine 1, the distance between the two inclined members can be changed, so that the guide assembly is suitable for steel pipes of different models. Both ends of the first inclined member 8 and the second inclined member 9 exceed the end of the steel pipe 2 to prevent the steel pipe 2 from slipping off the two inclined members when falling downward. By setting the inclination of the first inclined member 8 to be smaller than the inclination of the second inclined member 9, when the steel pipe 2 just leaves the cutting machine 1, the first inclined member 8 has a supporting effect on the steel pipe 2 to prevent the steel pipe 2 from rebounding due to excessive falling distance and causing an accident. The second inclined member 9 has a guiding effect on the steel pipe 2, so that the steel pipe 2 falling on the guide assembly can slide along the second inclined member 9 to the first conveying track group 5.

[0036] In some embodiments, reference Figure 3 As shown, the first conveying track group 5 includes two first tracks vertically arranged along the extension direction of the two ends of the steel pipe 2, and the bottom of the two first tracks are both hingedly connected with a lifting member 10, and the lifting member 10 is driven to drive one end of the first track to move in the vertical direction. Specifically, the bottom ends of the two inclined members are welded with connecting members, and the two first tracks are respectively hingedly connected to the two connecting members, and the bottoms of the two first tracks are both hingedly connected with a lifting member 10, and the lifting member 10 is driven to drive one end of the first track to move in the vertical direction, and the other end of the first track is hinged with the connecting member, so that the driving lifting member 10 can adjust the height and angle of the first conveying track group 5 according to the distance and height of the cutting machine 1 and the punching machine 4, thereby improving the applicability of this continuous feeding mechanism, and at the same time, the lifting member 10 is arranged at the bottom of the first conveying track group 5, thereby improving the stability of the first conveying track group 5.

[0037] For further information, please refer to Figure 3 As shown, an L-shaped connector 11 is provided below a first track, one end of the L-shaped connector 11 is connected to the bottom surface of the first track, and the other end is movably connected to the cylinder seat of the punching machine 4. Specifically, the punching machine seat on one side of the punching machine 4 can be moved, and an L-shaped connector 11 is provided below the first track correspondingly provided on the side of the movable punching machine seat, and the lifting member 10 is provided at the bottom of the L-shaped connector 11. The L-shaped connector 11 is used to connect the first track and the cylinder seat of the punching machine 4 on the side, and the L-shaped connector 11 is movably connected to the cylinder seat of the punching machine 4 to avoid affecting the adjustment of the lifting member 10. By providing the L-shaped connector 11, the stability of the first conveying track group 5 is improved.

[0038] In other embodiments, a position sensor is provided at the top of the jacking assembly 7 for receiving the position signal of the steel pipe 2 at the punching hole 401, so as to transmit the position signal to the cutter 1 to control the start and stop of the cutter 1. Specifically, by providing a position sensor at the top of the jacking assembly 7, when the steel pipe 2 falls into the support at the punching hole 401, the position sensor receives the position signal of the steel pipe 2 and transmits the position signal to the cutter 1, at which time the cutter 1 stops cutting the steel pipe 2; when there is no steel pipe 2 in the support at the punching hole 401, the position sensor receives the position signal at this time and transmits the position signal to the cutter 1, at which time the cutter 1 performs the cutting operation, thus realizing continuous cutting and punching operations, and avoiding the cutting speed being too fast, resulting in the accumulation of steel pipes 2 on the first conveying track group 5, and affecting the operation of the cutter 1 and the punching machine 4.

[0039] In order to enable the steel pipe 2 lifted by the lifting assembly 7 to slide onto the second conveying track group 6, refer to Figure 2As shown, the lifting assembly 7 includes a slider 701 and a lifting cylinder 702. The slider 701 is arranged at the top of the lifting cylinder 702, and the surface of the slider 701 has an inclination. Specifically, by arranging the slider 701 with an inclination at the top of the lifting cylinder 702, the steel pipe 2 in contact with the slider 701 can slide along the slider 701 onto the second conveying track group 6.

[0040] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in order to ensure that the steel pipe 2 can smoothly fall into and be discharged from the first conveying track group 5 and the second conveying track group 6, the ends of the first conveying track group 5 and the second conveying track group 6 are both configured as outwardly expanded openings.

[0041] Reference Figure 5 As shown, the side of the transfer box 3 close to the second conveying track group 6 has an inclination; the length of the transfer box 3 is greater than the length of the steel pipe 2; the height of the transfer box 3 is less than the height from the second conveying track group 6 to the ground. Specifically, the transfer box 3 has a accommodating space for accommodating the steel pipe 2, and the side of the transfer box 3 close to the second conveying rail group 6 has an inclination, so that the steel pipe 2 on the second conveying rail group 6 can slide along the side of the transfer box 3 close to the second conveying rail group 6, which plays a buffering role for the steel pipe 2 and prevents the steel pipe 2 from falling directly into the transfer box 3 by gravity, so that the steel pipe 2 rebounds when it contacts the bottom of the transfer box 3, so that the steel pipe 2 in the transfer box 3 is placed in a disorderly manner, increasing the work intensity. The height of the transfer box 3 is slightly smaller than the height from the second conveying rail group 6 to the ground, and the length of the transfer box 3 is slightly larger than the length of the steel pipe 2, so that the steel pipe 2 on the second conveying rail group 6 can slide smoothly into the transfer box 3, and ensure that the steel pipe 2 entering the transfer box 3 can be arranged in the same direction, and the steel pipe 2 entering the transfer box 3 slides to the end of the transfer box away from the punching machine 4 by inertia, realizing the neat stacking of the steel pipe 2 by itself.
