[0003] The workpieces to be inspected need to be temporarily stored between the tube end forming machine and the inspection equipment and sent to the inspection equipment for inspection in sequence. At present, the workpieces formed by the tube end forming machine are manually placed in the inspection equipment for inspection in sequence, and there is no relevant device for temporary storage and inspection of the workpieces.

[0007] Preferably, a plurality of supporting ribs arranged side by side are provided on the top surface of the inclined plate in sequence from front to back.

[0008] The supporting ribs improve the strength of the inclined plate, matching the structure in which the outer dimensions of one end of the ball tube become larger after being formed. When the ball tube rolls down, the formed end can always be kept on one side of the inclined plate and will not deviate to other positions of the inclined plate, thereby ensuring that the ball tube can roll backward accurately.

[0009] Preferably, the first jacking mechanism and the second jacking mechanism both penetrate to the bottom of the bottom plate, and the bottom ends of the first jacking mechanism and the second jacking mechanism are both fixed on a lifting plate, and the lifting plate is driven by a jacking cylinder.

[0010] The first jacking mechanism and the second jacking mechanism are driven by the same jacking cylinder through the lifting plate, so that the synchronous jacking of the first jacking mechanism and the second jacking mechanism is realized, making the jacking control simpler.

[0011] Preferably, a notch is provided in the middle top of the second vertical plate.

[0012] The notch makes it easier for the robot to grab the pipe.

[0013] The utility model can arrange the ball tubes to be inspected from back to front in sequence for temporary storage through the inclined plate, and rely on the first lifting mechanism and the second lifting mechanism to lift the ball tubes to be inspected from back to front in sequence and send them into the inspection equipment, thereby realizing the action of sending the ball tubes to be inspected into the inspection equipment.

[0014] The utility model adopts a secondary lifting structure, which can reduce the size of the equipment in the longitudinal direction, so that when it is lifted to the highest point, it can just reach the feeding height of the detection equipment, and the structure is reasonable.

[0024] like Figure 1-2As shown, a secondary lifting mechanism of a ball tube comprises a bottom plate 1, and side plates 2 fixed on both sides of the bottom plate 1, a workpiece travel channel is formed between the two side plates 2 above the bottom plate 1, and the workpiece travel channel is sequentially provided with an inclined plate 3, a first vertical plate 4 and a second vertical plate 5 from front to back, the rear end of the inclined plate 3 is inclined downward, a first lifting gap 6 is left between the rear end of the inclined plate 3 and the first vertical plate 4, a second lifting gap 7 is left between the first vertical plate 4 and the second vertical plate 5, and the widths of the first lifting gap 6 and the second lifting gap 7 are the same, and are both slightly larger than the top surface of the first vertical plate 4 of the ball tube below The top surface of the second vertical plate 5, and the rear ends of the top surfaces of the first vertical plate 4 and the second vertical plate 5 are both inclined downward, a first lifting mechanism 8 is provided in the first lifting gap 6, and a second lifting mechanism 9 is provided in the second lifting gap 7, and the rear ends of the tops of the first lifting mechanism 8 and the second lifting mechanism 9 are both inclined downward, so that during lifting, the rear side of the ball tube will be tightly against the first vertical plate 4 or the second vertical plate 5, and will not fall from the first lifting mechanism 8 or the second lifting mechanism 9. When the ball tube is lifted upward and exceeds the top of the first vertical plate 4 or the second vertical plate 5, the ball tube will roll backward under the action of its own gravity.

[0025] The top surface of the inclined plate 3 is provided with a plurality of supporting ribs 10 arranged side by side from front to back.

[0026] The first lifting mechanism 8 and the second lifting mechanism 9 both penetrate to the bottom of the base plate 1 , and the bottom ends of the first lifting mechanism 8 and the second lifting mechanism 9 are both fixed on a lifting plate 11 , and the lifting plate 11 is driven by a lifting cylinder 12 .

[0027] A notch 13 is formed at the middle top of the second vertical plate 5 .

The working principle is as follows:

[0029] Step 1), the ball tube formed by the tube end forming machine is placed on the inclined plate 3 by the manipulator, and rolls backward along the inclined plate 3, and is arranged in sequence from back to front along the inclined plate 3. Since the top surface of the first jacking mechanism 8 is slightly lower than the rear end top surface of the inclined plate 3 in the initial state, the ball tube at the rear end rolls onto the top surface of the first jacking mechanism 8;

[0030] Step 2), the lifting cylinder 12 pushes the lifting plate 11 to rise, at this time, the first lifting mechanism 8 and the second lifting mechanism 9 are both lifted upward, when lifted to the highest point, the rear end top surface of the first lifting mechanism 8 is slightly higher than the front end top surface of the first vertical plate 4, and the rear end top surface of the second lifting mechanism 9 is slightly higher than the front end top surface of the second vertical plate 5, at this time, the ball tube on the first lifting mechanism 8 will roll backward to the top of the first vertical plate 4 under the action of its own gravity, and close to the second lifting mechanism 9 backward, the ball tube on the second lifting mechanism 9 will roll backward to the top of the second vertical plate 5 under the action of its own gravity, and continue to roll backward into the detection equipment for detection;

[0031] Step 3), the lifting cylinder 12 drives the lifting plate 11 to descend, at which time, the first lifting mechanism 8 and the second lifting mechanism 9 both descend downward until they return to their initial state, and the ball tube at the rear end of the inclined plate 3 rolls onto the first lifting mechanism 8 under the action of its own gravity, and the ball tube at the top of the first vertical plate 4 rolls backward onto the second lifting mechanism 9 under the action of its own gravity;

[0032] Step 4), repeat step 2).

[0034] Finally, it should be noted that the above examples are only specific embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and there are many variations. All variations that can be directly derived or associated with the content disclosed by a person skilled in the art from the present invention should be considered as the protection scope of the present invention.
