Obviously, the drawings described below are some embodiments of the present invention. For ordinary technicians in this field, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without paying any creative work.

[0017] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the pipe feeding and positioning mechanism. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in the present invention have the same meanings as those commonly understood by technicians in the technical field of the present invention; the terms used in the specification of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention; the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof in the specification and claims of the present invention and the above-mentioned drawings are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. The terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present invention or the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish different objects, not to describe a specific order.

[0019] Reference to "embodiments" in the present invention means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in conjunction with the embodiments may be included in at least one embodiment of the present invention. The appearance of the phrase in various locations in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it mutually exclusive, independent, or alternative to other embodiments. It is explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described in the present invention may be combined with other embodiments.

[0020] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the utility model, the technical solution in the embodiment of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, the utility model is a pipe feeding and positioning mechanism, including a positioning mechanism mounting frame 1 and a mechanism controller, the positioning mechanism mounting frame 1 is provided with a spinning assembly, a hole position sensor 2 and a plurality of pipe brackets, the hole position sensor 2 and the spinning assembly are both arranged on the side of the pipe bracket, the pipe bracket is provided with a supporting portion cooperating with the pipe, the spinning assembly includes a lifting drive 3 and a spinning drive 4, the spinning drive 4 is connected to the moving end of the lifting drive 3, a spinning head 5 is provided on the moving end of the spinning drive 4, and the spinning drive 4 can drive the spinning head 5 to rotate the pipe in the supporting portion.

[0022] By setting the hole position sensor 2, the hole position of the pipe is used as a reference point to detect whether the hole position of the pipe currently set on the pipe bracket is in the specified position. If it is not correct, the angle of the pipe is efficiently adjusted through the rotating component, which is convenient for users to load materials more accurately through clamps or feeding devices, avoiding product deviation and the inability to use the pipe with the installation hole after bending, thereby improving the user experience.

[0023] The pipe feeding and positioning mechanism also includes a pushing drive 14, and the lifting drive 3 is fixedly arranged at the moving end of the pushing drive 14. The pushing drive 14 is perpendicular to the moving direction of the lifting drive 3. The pushing drive 14 is arranged on one side of the pipe bracket. A pipe pushing block is also arranged on the rotating assembly. The supporting part is a limiting bracket arranged at the upper end of the pipe bracket. The limiting bracket can limit the two sides of the pipe. The pushing drive 14 can cooperate with the pushing block to push the pipe in the limiting bracket to move linearly on the pipe bracket.

[0024] By setting the push drive 14, the accuracy of the position of the pipe on the pipe bracket can be effectively guaranteed. During the placement process, the pipe will be placed a little more in the direction of the push drive 14. After the placement is completed, the pipe is pushed to the specified position by the pipe push block, which unifies the position of the pipe and avoids the occurrence of pipe position deviation. It is possible that the installation hole cannot be identified after the rotating assembly rotates 360 degrees.

[0025] Limiting surfaces are arranged on both sides of the inner wall of the limiting support block, and an anti-friction bearing 6 is arranged between the lower ends of the two limiting surfaces. The setting of the anti-friction bearing 6 can effectively prevent the pipe from being worn by friction with the limiting surfaces during rotation.

[0026] The two limiting surfaces form a V-shape, and the V-shaped design can better position the pipe in the limiting support block.

[0027] The pipe feed positioning mechanism also includes a bracket displacement driving member, and the pipe bracket includes a movable pipe bracket 7 and multiple fixed pipe brackets 8. The movable pipe bracket 7 can cooperate with the fixed pipe bracket 8 to support both ends of the pipe. The movable pipe bracket 7 is fixedly arranged at the moving end of the bracket displacement driving member, and the bracket displacement driving member can drive the movable pipe bracket 7 to approach or move away from the fixed pipe bracket 8.

[0028] Through the cooperation between the bracket displacement driving member and the movable pipe bracket 7, pipes of different lengths can be effectively adapted and supported, thereby improving the flexibility of the mechanism.

[0029] The push drive member 14 is also fixedly arranged at the moving end of the bracket displacement drive member, and the push drive member 14 is arranged on the side of the movable pipe bracket 7 away from the fixed pipe bracket 8.

[0030] Obviously, the push drive member 14 is also fixedly arranged at the moving end of the bracket displacement drive member to ensure the effect of the rotation angle of the pipe on the pipe bracket. Other methods can also be used to replace it. For example, the push drive member 14 is fixedly arranged on the side of the fixed pipe bracket 8 away from the movable pipe bracket 7, which can also achieve the effect of the above-mentioned scheme.

[0031] The pipe feeding and positioning mechanism also includes a bracket displacement mounting plate 9, and the bracket displacement driving member includes a bracket driving motor 10, a bracket driving pulley and a bracket driving slide rail. The moving end of the bracket driving motor 10 is connected to the bracket driving pulley, and a bracket belt linkage and a bracket driving slider are provided on the bracket displacement mounting plate 9. One end of the bracket belt linkage is connected to the bracket driving pulley, and the bracket driving slider is slidably connected to the bracket driving slide rail.

[0032] The pipe feeding and positioning mechanism also includes an inductive driving component, and the hole position sensor 2 is fixedly arranged at the moving end of the inductive driving component, and the inductive driving component can drive the hole position sensor 2 to perform linear motion.

[0033] The positions of the installation holes of pipes of different lengths are also different. By setting the induction drive component, the position of the hole position sensor 2 can be effectively and flexibly adjusted for adaptation.

[0034] The pipe feeding and positioning mechanism also includes an induction mounting plate 11, and the induction driving part includes an induction driving motor 12, an induction driving pulley and an induction driving slide rail. The moving end of the induction frame driving motor is connected to the induction driving pulley, and an induction belt linkage part and an induction driving slide block are provided on the induction mounting plate 11. One end of the induction belt linkage part is connected to the induction driving pulley, and the induction driving slide block is slidably connected to the induction driving slide rail.

[0035] The hole position sensor 2 is a displacement sensor.

[0036] The pipe feeding and positioning mechanism also includes a pipe visual camera assembly 13. Through the setting of the pipe visual camera assembly 13, it is possible to effectively identify whether different types of pipes have angular deviations. For example, a pipe without a mounting hole but with a connector can be effectively identified by photographing the position of the connector and comparing it with the database image in the mechanism controller, so that the pipe can be rotated in coordination with the rotating assembly.

[0037] The working process of the pipe feeding and positioning mechanism provided in this embodiment is as follows: Compared with the existing pipe bending processing process, the embodiment of the utility model provides the advantage of high pipe processing accuracy.

[0038] First, according to the parameters of the pipe to be processed, the positions of the movable pipe bracket 7 and the hole position sensor 2 are adjusted to appropriate positions.

[0039] After the adjustment is completed, the pipe is placed on the pipe bracket, and the push drive 14 pushes the pipe to the specified position.

[0040] After the pipe reaches the designated position, the hole position sensor 2 detects the pipe.

[0041] When no mounting hole is detected, the lifting driver 3 controls the rotating driver 4 to descend, so that the rotating head 5 fits the pipe fixture.

[0042] The material rotating driver 4 drives the material rotating head 5 to rotate, thereby controlling the rotation of the pipe fixture. When the hole position sensor 2 detects the hole position, the material rotating driver 4 stops, and the material rotating assembly returns to the initial position.

[0043] The rotation and positioning process of the pipe is completed, waiting for the user's clamp or feeding mechanism to accurately place the material into the bending machine.

[0044] From the above, it can be seen that the beneficial effect of the utility model is: the use of its mechanism can effectively solve the problem of low processing accuracy in the pipe bending process in the prior art. By using this product structure, the installation hole is used as a reference point, the hole position sensor 2 identifies the hole position, and the pipe is rotated to the specified angle through the rotating component, thereby ensuring the uniformity of the pipe angle, providing a basis for subsequently placing the pipe into the pipe bending machine, improving the economic benefits of the product and the user experience, and is conducive to improving the competitiveness of the enterprise.

[0045] The specific implementation modes described above are preferred implementation modes of the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the specific implementation scope of the present utility model. The scope of the present utility model includes but is not limited to the specific implementation modes, and all equivalent changes made in accordance with the present utility model are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
