[0023] The technical solution of the present utility model will be described below in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments.

[0024] As Figures 1 to 4 shown, a metal pipe storage and positioning mechanism of the present utility model includes a rack 2. A feeding end for feeding the metal pipe material 4 is provided at the first end of the rack 2, and a stroke stop 5 for stopping the metal pipe material 4 is provided at the second end of the rack 2; a positioning plate 12 is movably arranged above the rack 2. The rack 2, the stop 5 and the positioning plate 12 cooperate to form a storage tank 3 for storing the metal pipe material 4 and positioning the metal pipe material 4. The positioning plate 12 is driven by a driving device to move up and down relative to the rack 2. With such a setting, the metal pipe material 4 is placed on the rack 2 through the previous process via the feeding end. Under the limiting action of the stroke stop 5, the metal pipe material 4 abuts against the stroke stop 5. The driving device drives the positioning plate 12 to descend, so as to realize the positioning of the metal pipe material 4. More specifically, the metal pipe material 4 is positioned at the position of the storage tank 3 formed by the cooperation of the rack 2, the stop 5 and the positioning plate 12. The storage tank 3 is used to temporarily store and position the metal pipe material 4, which is convenient for accurately conveying and processing the metal pipe material 4 in the later stage.

[0025] In this embodiment, the driving device includes a fixed frame 8, a motor 9 and a transmission component. The first end of the fixed frame 8 is fixed on the rack 2, the second end of the fixed frame 8 is suspended above the rack 2, the motor 9 is fixed at the second end of the fixed frame 8, the first end of the transmission component is connected to the output end of the motor 9, the second end of the transmission component is connected to the positioning plate 12, and the motor 9 is used to drive the transmission component to drive the positioning plate 12 to move up and down relative to the rack 2. A guiding component is provided between the positioning plate 12 and the fixed frame 8. With such a setting, the motor 9 drives the transmission component to act, and the transmission component drives the positioning plate 12 to act, so as to realize the clamping and positioning of the metal pipe material 4 by the positioning plate 12 and the rack 2. In practical applications, the fixed frame 8 is of an L-shaped structure.

[0026] In this embodiment, the transmission assembly includes a threaded rod 10 and a threaded barrel 11. The first end of the threaded rod 10 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 9, the second end of the threaded rod 10 is threadedly connected to the first end of the threaded barrel 11, and the second end of the threaded barrel 11 is fixedly connected to the positioning plate 12. The motor 9 is used to drive the threaded rod 10 to rotate. With this arrangement, the motor 9 drives the threaded rod 10 to rotate, causing the threaded barrel 11 threadedly connected to the threaded rod 10 to displace relative to the threaded rod 10, thereby driving the positioning plate 12 to displace.

[0027] Of course, a structure in which a cylinder is used to drive the positioning plate 12 to move up and down can also be adopted, which can equally achieve the purpose of driving the positioning plate 12 to lift and clamping and positioning the metal pipe material 4.

[0028] In this embodiment, the guiding assembly includes a guiding hole provided on the fixing frame 8 and a guiding rod 13 fixedly provided on the positioning plate 12. One end of the guiding rod 13 passes through the guiding hole, and the guiding rod 13 is slidably connected to the guiding hole. A limiting assembly is provided between the guiding rod 13 and the fixing frame 8. With this arrangement, through the guiding assembly, the positioning plate 12 can be vertically lifted relative to the fixing frame 8, and the lifting is more stable. In practical applications, there are two sets of guiding assemblies, symmetrically arranged on both sides of the transmission assembly.

[0029] In this embodiment, a fixing plate 15 is fixed on the fixing frame 8. The limiting assembly includes a limiting groove 14 provided at intervals on the guiding rod 13 and a limiting rod 16 movably provided on the fixing plate 15. The limiting rod 16 is arranged corresponding to the limiting groove 14. With this arrangement, the guiding rod 13 is limited by the limiting rod 16 to prevent the guiding rod 13 from shaking during the lifting process, further improving its lifting stability, and at the same time achieving precise positioning of the position of the positioning plate 12.

[0030] In this embodiment, a connecting disc 17 is fixed on the limiting rod 16, and a spring 18 is sleeved on the limiting rod 16 between the connecting disc 17 and the fixing plate 15. The two ends of the spring 18 respectively abut against the connecting disc 17 and the fixing plate 15. With this arrangement, in the initial state, the limiting rod 16 is located in one of the limiting grooves 14 on the guiding rod 13. When the driving device drives the positioning plate 12 to drive the guiding rod 13 to displace relative to the fixing plate 8, the spring 18 deforms. More specifically, when the limiting rod 16 is disengaged from the limiting groove 14 under the action of force and is located between the two limiting grooves 14, the spring 18 is in a compressed state. When the limiting rod 16 corresponds to another limiting groove 14, the spring 18 is in a released state, and the limiting rod 16 cooperates with this limiting groove 14 to be clamped, realizing the limitation of the guiding rod 13.

[0031] In this embodiment, the upper surface of the material rack 2 is inclined, and the lower end is correspondingly arranged with the stroke stop 5. Such an arrangement enables the metal pipe material 4 after loading to automatically roll relative to the stroke stop 5 until it abuts against the upper limit of the stroke stop 5.

[0032] In this embodiment, a plurality of arc-shaped card slots 6 for clamping the metal pipe material 4 are provided at the bottom of the positioning plate 12. Such an arrangement can better position the metal pipe material 4 through the arc-shaped card slots 6 and prevent the metal pipe material 4 from shifting.

[0033] In this embodiment, leveling devices for limiting the two ends of the metal pipe material 4 are provided on both sides of the material rack 2, and a fixed seat is provided at the bottom of the material rack 2. Such an arrangement enables a plurality of metal pipe materials 4 located on the material rack 2 to be leveled and arranged side by side through the leveling devices, thereby facilitating the subsequent feeding of the metal pipe material 4.

[0034] Preferably, the leveling device can be guide plates symmetrically arranged on both sides of the material rack 2. Of course, in order to adapt to the use of metal pipes 4 of different lengths, the guide plates on both sides can also be set to an adjustable width structure; in order to facilitate the metal pipe storage and positioning mechanism to adapt to different processes, rollers can also be installed on the fixed seat 1 to facilitate mobile assembly. Since this technology is an existing technology, no specific description will be made here.

[0035] The embodiments of the present invention have been described above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the above specific embodiments. The above specific embodiments are merely illustrative and not restrictive. Under the inspiration of the present invention, those of ordinary skill in the art can also make many forms without departing from the purpose of the present invention and the scope protected by the claims. All of these are within the protection scope of the present invention.
