[0051] Automatic disordered pipe material feeding process for split heads: Pour the pipe fittings with heads into the bin 1. The bottom plate of the bin 1 is set as a slope that descends inward. After the pipe fittings enter, they spontaneously roll to the discharge end under the action of gravity. Press the start switch. The pipe fittings move upward under the action of the top plate 202 and automatically reach the chain 302 due to the inclined plane after reaching a certain height. The conveying power device 301 drives the chain 302 to run. The pipe fittings move forward with the chain 302. The next pipe fitting will be lifted to the chain 302 again by the top plate 202. When the pipe fitting moves forward to the pushing mechanism 4, it is sensed by the sensor set at the pushing mechanism 4. The pushing cylinder 401 starts to act. The pushing plate 402 is pushed forward and the pipe fitting is pushed into the positioning groove 502. The positioning cylinder 503 acts to position the pipe fitting axially. When the pipe fitting is sensed by the material presence sensor 504 and the split head sensor 505 does not sense the pipe head, the material presence sensor 504 and the split head sensor 505 transmit the sensing signals to the controller. The controller controls the feeding mechanism 6. The gripper 609 comes to grab the pipe fitting and sends it to the next process. When the material presence sensor 504 senses the pipe fitting and the split head sensor 505 also senses the pipe head at the same time, the material presence sensor 504 and the split head sensor 505 transmit the sensing signals to the controller. The controller controls the feeding mechanism 6. The gripper 609 comes to grab the pipe fitting, and then the rotating cylinder 607 rotates 180 degrees. The direction of the pipe head of the pipe fitting rotates accordingly, and then the pipe fitting is sent to the next process. When the pipe fitting is sent to the next process, the gripper 609 can move along the X slide rail 601, the Y slide rail 603 and the Z slide rail 605. The operation in the way of slide rail sliders is very stable. After setting the specified path, accurate feeding can be achieved. From the initial disordered feeding, split head feeding is realized. Only when the pipe fittings are poured into the bin 1, it is manually operated, and the subsequent process is all automated, solving the problem of disordered pipe material feeding for split heads in the automation upgrade of the production line. The top feeding mechanism 2 assists the bin 1 to automatically discharge materials to the conveying mechanism 3. The conveying mechanism 3 can meet requirements such as long-distance feeding. The three-axis coordinate installation in the feeding mechanism 6 enables the gripper 609 to move in multiple directions and can feed multiple devices. This feeding machine has no requirements for the discharge of the previous process equipment, can discharge disorderly, automatically split heads, can adapt to long-distance feeding, can move in multiple directions during feeding, has strong practicability, has many applicable scenarios in the automation production upgrade of the pipe material production line, is conducive to realizing the large-scale automated production of pipe fittings, and reduces labor costs.
