[0037] Working principle: During daily production, the raw material round tubes are stacked on the tube rack of this equipment. During production, the blanking device 2 lifts a single round tube from the stacked tubes. At this time, when the lifting cylinder 2b lifts the wedge block 2c, the round tube above the wedge block 2c is also lifted simultaneously. At the same time, the round tube will roll and roll towards one end of the transfer device through the inclined plane structure of the wedge block 2c, achieving the purpose of sorting the round tube from the tube stack into the transfer device 3. Then, the worker manually transfers the round tube that has fallen into the transfer device 3 to the cold bending machine. Due to the rotatable design of the transfer roller 3e, a great deal of manpower is saved during the transfer process, and the V-shaped transfer roller 3e has a limiting effect on the round tube, ensuring that the round tube will not fall off the transfer roller 3e during transfer. Through this equipment, a single round tube can be automatically separated from the stacked materials and conveniently transferred manually. Compared with the prior art of manual handling or hoisting for loading, this equipment has the characteristics of high efficiency and high safety.
