[0029] It should be noted that a servo motor and a third cylinder are provided on the left side of the manipulator 3. The servo motor and the third cylinder cooperate to push the manipulator 3 to move and clamp the pipe materials on the conveyor 2. The mentioned servo motor, manipulator 3 and conveyor 2 can adopt conventional servo motors, manipulators 3 and belt conveyors on the market. Since the structures and principles of the servo motor, manipulator 3 and belt conveyor are well-known technologies in the market, they will not be elaborated here.

[0030] When the automatic double-head milling equipment for pipe materials is in use, a control box 5 is installed on one side of the frame 4, and the control box 5 is used to conveniently control the operation and stop of each machine in the conveyor 2, manipulator 3, left milling machine 6, right milling machine 7 and pipe material positioning mechanism 8; the operation of the manipulator 3 can clamp the pipe materials to be processed on the conveyor 2 and move them to the pipe material supporting part, and the pipe material supporting part supports the pipe materials to be processed. The left milling machine 6 and the right milling machine 7 are used to perform double-head milling on the pipe materials to be processed; among them, through the cooperation of the feeding bin 1, conveyor 2 and manipulator 3, automatic feeding of the pipe materials to be processed can be realized.

[0031] In this embodiment, the mentioned pipe material supporting part includes an upper cross plate 805 horizontally connected to the front of the vertical moving plate 802, a support plate 807 installed on the bottom surface of the end of the upper cross plate 805, a material supporting table 809 installed on the back of the support plate 807, and a lower cross plate 808 horizontally installed at the bottom end of the support plate 807.

Among them, when the mentioned first cylinder 8011 is started, it can drive the sliding block 8012 to move back and forth on the frame 4, thereby driving the vertical plate 8013 to move back and forth, so that the vertical moving plate 802, the material supporting table 809, and the material abutting part 804 are driven to move back and forth together. It should be noted that through the first cylinder 8011, the material abutting part 804 and the material supporting table 809 can be driven to move back and forth on the frame 4 together, so as to accurately transfer the pipe material on the material supporting table 809 between the left milling machine 6 and the right milling machine 7 for milling of the pipe material to be processed.

[0033] In this embodiment, the mentioned left milling machine 6 and right milling machine 7 are both composed of a power source 704 and a pushing member installed at the bottom end of the power source 704. The pushing member includes a support platform 701 installed on the frame 4, a sliding cylinder 702 installed on the outer side of the support platform 701, and a movable plate 703 located on the support platform 701 and installed at the movable end of the sliding cylinder 702. Among them, the mentioned power source 704 is installed on the movable plate 703. The power source 704 is not limited to a servo motor or a servo machine, and the milling cutter is detachably connected to the motor output shaft end of the servo motor. It should be noted that when the left milling machine 6 and the right milling machine 7 are in use, the power source 704 operates to drive the milling cutter to rotate circumferentially to mill the pipe material. During the process of milling the pipe material, the sliding cylinder 702 can be started to push the movable plate 703 to move left and right on the support platform 701, so as to conveniently change the distance between the left milling machine 6 and the right milling machine 7 to be applicable to the pipe material milling operation under different specifications and facilitate the all-round milling of pipe materials of different specifications.

[0034] When the automatic double - head milling equipment for pipe materials is actually used, first, the control box 5 is used to control the operation of the conveyor 2. The conveyor 2 is used to transfer the pipe materials to be processed stored in the feeding bin 1. After the transfer to the station of the manipulator 3, the manipulator 3 clamps and moves the pipe materials to be processed onto the material supporting table 809. Then, the pushing cylinder 803 is started, and the pushing cylinder 803 is used to move the material abutting part 804 towards the material supporting table 809, and the material abutting part 804 is used to firmly limit the pipe materials to be processed on the material supporting table 809. At this time, the pipe materials to be processed are located between the left milling machine 6 and the right milling machine 7. Then, the left milling machine 6 and the right milling machine 7 are started, and the rotating milling cutters on the left milling machine 6 and the right milling machine 7 are used to perform double - head milling on the pipe materials to be processed. After the milling process, the control box 5 is used to drive the movable end of the pushing cylinder 803 to retract. At this time, the material abutting part 804 moves away from the pipe materials on the material supporting table 809. At the same time, under the action of the gravity principle, the milled pipe materials fall onto the discharging table 9 and are freely discharged through the discharging slope of the discharging table 9, thereby realizing the automatic discharging of the pipe materials.

[0035] It should be noted that through the cooperation of the first cylinder 8011 and the second cylinder 806, the milling position of the material supporting table 809 between the left milling machine 6 and the right milling machine 7 can be quickly and accurately adjusted. Among them, by starting the second cylinder 806, the vertical moving plate 802 can move vertically on the surface of the vertical plate 8013. At this time, when the vertical moving plate 802 moves vertically, it drives the upper cross - plate 805, the support plate 807, the lower cross - plate 808 and the material supporting table 809 to move vertically together, so as to accurately place the pipe materials to be processed on the material supporting table 809 between the milling cutters of the left milling machine 6 and the right milling machine 7, thereby realizing the rapid and accurate positioning of the pipe materials to be processed and facilitating the double - head milling operation on both ends of the pipe body of the pipe materials to be processed.

[0036] It should be especially noted that in this embodiment, the sliding cylinder 702, the first cylinder 8011, the second cylinder 806 and the pushing cylinder 803 all adopt but are not limited to SMC series cylinders, JSC series cylinders or DNC32 - 60 - APA type single - acting cylinders.

[0037] To sum up: The automatic double - head milling equipment for pipe materials integrates functions of mechanized and automated feeding, automatic accurate positioning of pipe materials, and automatic discharging of pipe materials. It reduces the difficulty of pipe material processing and the labor intensity. And the pipe materials can be subjected to double - head milling operations, improving the milling efficiency of the pipe materials and the overall qualified rate of the pipe materials after milling. At the same time, through the cylinder - driven method, the distance between the left milling machine 6 and the right milling machine 7 can be quickly changed, so as to be applicable to the milling operations of different specifications and different types of pipe materials, and solve the problems of low milling efficiency, high labor intensity, the milling machine can only mill the pipe materials unidirectionally, and low overall qualified rate of the pipe materials after milling existing in the existing manual feeding and single - milling machine method.

[0038] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brevity of description, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, it should be considered as the scope recorded in this specification.

[0039] The above embodiments only represent the preferred implementation modes of the present utility model. The description is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be understood as a limitation to the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present utility model, several deformations and improvements can be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present utility model.

Among them, there are various detachable installation methods. For example, it can be through the cooperation of plugging and buckling, or through the method of bolt connection, etc.

[0040] Although the embodiments of the present utility model have been shown and described, for those of ordinary skill in the art, it can be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the present utility model.
