[0027] To describe in detail the technical content, structural features, achieved purposes and effects of this application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of this application.

[0028] In this application, spatial relative terms such as "under", "below", "beneath", "down", "above", "up", "on", "higher", "side" (for example, as in "side wall") are used to describe the relationship between one element and another (other) element as shown in the drawings. The spatial relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use, operation and / or manufacture in addition to the orientation depicted in the drawings. For example, if the device in the drawings is flipped, the element described as "under" or "beneath" other elements or features will subsequently be positioned "above" the said other elements or features. Therefore, the exemplary term "under" can include both the upper and lower orientations. In addition, the device can be positioned otherwise (for example, rotated 90 degrees or at other orientations), and accordingly, the spatial relative descriptive terms used herein are interpreted.

[0029] Refer to Figure 1The utility model provides a pipe bundling machine 100, which can be arranged on a pipe production line and use bundling film to bundle multiple formed pipes into pipe bundles. Specifically, the pipe bundling machine 100 has a support mechanism for providing support, a bundling mechanism for bundling pipes with bundling film, a driving mechanism for driving the bundling mechanism, and a film clamping cylinder 4 for clamping the bundling film. The multiple pipes are moved by being pulled by equipment upstream or downstream of the pipe bundling machine 100.

[0030] Combination Figure 2 The supporting mechanism includes a support leg 11 supported on the ground, a base 12 fixedly mounted on the support leg 11 in an upright posture, and a pipe passage 13 formed on the base 2. The support leg 11 is firmly fixed to the ground by anchor bolts. The base 12 is defined with a through-hole (not marked in the figure) penetrating through it and is provided with a limiting pipe 14 located at the through-hole, and the pipe passage 13 is formed on the inner side of the limiting pipe 14. Among them, the limiting pipe 14 not only bundles multiple pipes in the pipe passage 13 for bundling, but also prevents the pipes from colliding or scratching with other parts of the base 12, thereby avoiding pipe wear.

[0031] Furthermore, a plurality of guide fins 15 are formed at the upstream end of the limiting pipe 14 , and each guide fin 15 is inclined toward the outer side of the pipe passage 13 .

[0032] The bundling mechanism includes an annular rotating wheel 21 disposed around the pipe passage 13 and a roll holder 23 for rotatably supporting the roll 22. The annular rotating wheel 21 is configured to be rotatably mounted on the base 12 around the axis of the pipe passage 13. The roll 22 is used to provide a bundling film, and the roll holder 23 is fixedly mounted on the annular rotating wheel 21 and can rotate around the axis together with the annular rotating wheel 21.

[0033] Furthermore, in order to maintain a certain surface tension of the roll film wound on the pipe bundle, that is, to prevent the roll film from loosening, the bundling mechanism provided in this embodiment is also equipped with a tension assembly. The tension assembly includes a roll pressing roller 24 for pressing the roll 22 and a spring 25 that can apply force to the roll pressing roller 24. The middle part of the roll pressing roller 24 is rotatably mounted on the roll seat 23, one end of which is close to the roll 22, and the other end of which is connected to the spring 25. The spring 25 provides a force to the roll pressing roller 24 to keep pressing against the roll 22, so that the bundling film is tightened by the friction between the roll pressing roller 24 and the bundling film.

[0034] Furthermore, a plurality of rotatable guide rollers 26 are provided on the material roll holder 23 to limit the moving path of the bundling film.

[0035] The driving mechanism includes a driving motor 31 fixedly installed on the base 12 and a transmission assembly that forms a transmission connection between the driving motor 31 and the annular runner 21. In this embodiment, the driving motor 31 and the annular runner 21 are respectively installed on two opposite sides of the base 12. The transmission assembly includes a pair of rotatable synchronous wheel assemblies. Each synchronous wheel assembly includes a first wheel 32 drivingly connected to the driving motor 31, a synchronous shaft 33 rotatably supported on the base 12, and a second wheel 34 pressing against the annular runner 21. The first wheel 32 and the second wheel 34 are respectively fixedly connected to both ends of the synchronous shaft 33. The annular runner 21 is driven by the frictional force of a pair of second wheels 34.

[0036] In this embodiment, a pair of first wheels 32 are both drivingly connected through a transmission belt 35. In other embodiments, the driving motor and the first wheel can also be connected by gears, and the driving motor can also directly drive the annular runner through various methods such as gear transmission.

[0037] Further, the outer peripheral surface of the annular runner 21 is recessed inward to form an annular groove adapted to a pair of second wheels 34 to prevent the second wheels from disengaging from the annular runner 21.

[0038] Further, a pair of rotatable idler wheels 36 are also provided on the base 12. The pair of idler wheels 36 and the pair of second wheels 34 are arranged at four corners to limit the annular runner 21.

[0039] Combined Figure 5 , which shows the film clamping cylinder 4 provided in this embodiment. The film clamping cylinder 4 can be used to cut off the tying film. Specifically, the film clamping cylinder 4 has a cylinder block 41 fixedly installed on the base 12 and a cylinder shaft 42 that can telescopically move relative to the cylinder block 41. A clamping piece 43 that can be used to cut off the tying film is fixedly installed on one end of the cylinder shaft 42 away from the cylinder block 41.

[0040] Further, the pipe tying machine 100 provided by the present utility model further includes a monitoring mechanism arranged on the base 12 or / and the annular runner 21. The monitoring mechanism is used to monitor the number of rotations of the annular runner 21. In this embodiment, the monitoring mechanism includes a photoelectric switch 51 fixedly installed on the base 12 and an induction plate 52 fixedly installed on the annular runner 21. The moving path of the induction plate 52 intersects the optical path of the photoelectric switch 51. It can be immediately seen that when the induction plate 52 passes through the optical path of the photoelectric switch 51, the photoelectric switch 51 is triggered. Therefore, the number of rotations of the annular runner 21, that is, the number of turns of the tying film wound around multiple pipes, can be monitored by the number of trigger times of the photoelectric switch 51. In other embodiments, the monitoring mechanism can also be a Hall sensor, an encoder arranged on an idler wheel or a synchronous wheel assembly, or a counter arranged on the driving motor.

[0041] Refer to Figures 3 - 4, the working principle of the pipe bundling machine 100 is described as follows: After multiple pipes are moved a certain distance by the corresponding traction device, the pipe bundling machine 100 aligns and starts the bundling operation. During this period, the driving motor 31 is started, and the annular runner 21 drives the material roll 22 and the material roll seat 23 to rotate together. The bundling film on the material roll 22 continuously winds around multiple pipes from the outside. After the bundling film wound around multiple pipes reaches a certain number of turns, the film clamping cylinder 4 acts, and the cylinder shaft 42 extends and contacts the bundling film. Subsequently, the driving motor 31 stops, the annular runner 21 stops rotating, and the cylinder shaft 42 retracts to cut off the bundling film and provide a leading position for the next bundling operation.

[0042] The above embodiments are only for explaining the technical concept and features of the present application, and the purpose is to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of the present application and implement it accordingly, and it should not be used to limit the protection scope of the present application. Any equivalent changes or modifications made according to the spirit of the present application should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
