Obviously, the embodiments described below are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of this application.
[0030] Refer to Figure 1-2 , this embodiment proposes an automatic loading and unloading device for tube shrinking, including a tube shrinking mechanism 1. Above the tube shrinking mechanism 1, there is a material transporting mechanism 2. The material transporting mechanism 2 includes a horizontally arranged support plate 21. At the bottom of the support plate 21, there are three groups of material transporting grippers 22. The three groups of material transporting grippers 22 are arranged along a horizontal straight line. Each group of material transporting grippers 22 includes two gripper bodies. On the lower surface of the support plate 21, the two gripper bodies are arranged in a direction perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the three groups of material transporting grippers 22.
[0031] At the top of the support plate 21, there is a first moving mechanism. The first moving mechanism can drive the support plate 21 to move in the vertical and horizontal directions. The first moving mechanism includes a first vertical telescopic member 23. The bottom of the first vertical telescopic member 23 is connected to the top of the support plate 21, and the top of the first vertical telescopic member 23 is connected to the first horizontal moving member 24. The first horizontal moving member 24 can drive the first vertical telescopic member 23 to move in the horizontal direction. The moving direction of the first horizontal moving member 24 is set along the arrangement direction of the three groups of material transporting grippers 22; the first horizontal moving member 24 is connected to the second horizontal moving member 25. The second horizontal moving member 25 can drive the first horizontal moving member 24 to move in the horizontal plane along a direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the first horizontal moving member 24.
[0032] On one side of the pipe shrinking mechanism 1 in the arrangement direction of the three groups of material transporting grippers 22, there is a flattening mechanism 3, and on the other side, there is a sorting mechanism 4. The sorting mechanism 4 includes a vibrating table 41. On the top of the vibrating table 41, there is a feeding trough body 42. On the top surface of the feeding trough body 42, there are several feeding troughs 43. The several feeding troughs 43 are arranged in the arrangement direction of the three groups of material transporting grippers 22. On each side of the feeding trough 43, there are two clamping grooves 44. The distance between the two clamping grooves 44 is equal to the distance between the two jaw bodies in each group of material transporting grippers 22. The clamping grooves 44 communicate with the feeding trough 43. The clamping grooves 44 on both sides of the feeding trough 43 are arranged oppositely, and the clamping grooves 44 between adjacent two feeding troughs 43 are connected and communicated.
[0033] Above the sorting mechanism 4, there is a discharging mechanism 5. The discharging mechanism 5 includes a discharging gripper 51. At the top of the discharging gripper 51, there is a second moving mechanism which can drive the discharging gripper 51 to move in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction. The second moving mechanism includes a second vertical telescopic member 52. The bottom of the second vertical telescopic member 52 is connected to the top of the discharging gripper 51, and the top of the second vertical telescopic member 52 is connected to a third horizontal moving member 53. The third horizontal moving member 53 can drive the second vertical telescopic member 52 to move in the horizontal direction. The moving direction of the third horizontal moving member 53 is arranged along the arrangement direction of the three groups of material transporting grippers 22; the first horizontal moving member 24 and the third horizontal moving member 53 are arranged in a staggered manner in the horizontal direction.
[0034] On one side of the sorting mechanism 4 away from the pipe shrinking mechanism 1, there is a palletizing table 6. On one side of the flattening mechanism 3 away from the pipe shrinking mechanism 1, there is a finished product table.
[0035] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:
[0036] The second moving mechanism can drive the discharging gripper 51 to move in the vertical and horizontal directions. Thus, the discharging gripper 51 can pick up the pipe materials manually stacked on the palletizing table 6 and place the pipe materials into the discharging chute 43 of the discharging chute body 42. The vibrating table 41 starts vibrating to make the pipe materials completely enter the discharging chute 43. The supporting plate 21 moves in the vertical and horizontal directions under the drive of the first moving mechanism. Thus, the three groups of material transporting grippers 22 can respectively pick up a pipe material from several discharging chutes 43. The supporting plate 21, under the drive of the first moving mechanism, moves the first group of material transporting grippers 22 close to the pipe shrinking mechanism 1 above the pipe shrinking mechanism 1 and inserts the pipe material into the pipe shrinking mechanism 1. The pipe shrinking mechanism 1 shrinks the pipe material. After the pipe shrinking is completed, the supporting plate 21 drives this group of material transporting grippers 22 above the flattening mechanism 3. At this time, the second group of material transporting grippers 22 is above the pipe shrinking mechanism 1. When the supporting plate 21 drives the second group of material transporting grippers 22 into the pipe shrinking mechanism 1, the first group of material transporting grippers 22 is synchronously placed into the flattening mechanism 3. Thus, the pipe shrinking mechanism 1 can shrink the pipe material grasped by the second group of material transporting grippers 22, and the flattening mechanism 3 can flatten the pipe material grasped by the first group of material transporting grippers 22 to make its side wall flat. After the pipe shrinking and flattening are completed, the supporting plate 21 continues to move. The second group of material transporting grippers 22 moves above the flattening mechanism 3, and the third group of material transporting grippers 22 synchronously moves above the pipe shrinking mechanism 1. Thus, the side wall of the pipe material grasped by the second group of material transporting grippers 22 is leveled, and the pipe material grasped by the third group of material transporting grippers 22 is shrunk. The supporting plate 21 continues to move, making the third group of material transporting grippers 22 move above the flattening mechanism 3. The supporting plate 21 drives the third group of material transporting grippers 22 into the flattening mechanism 3 to level the side wall of the pipe material grasped by the third group of material transporting grippers 22. After the leveling is completed, the supporting plate 21 continues to move. The first group of material transporting grippers 22, the second group of material transporting grippers 22, and the third group of material transporting grippers 22 respectively place the grasped pipe materials on the finished product table for stacking. By repeating the above steps, the functions of automatically picking up materials from the palletizing table 6, automatically processing, automatically discharging, and stacking the finished products can be realized. The structure is simple, the equipment cost is relatively low, the labor intensity of workers is reduced, and it is suitable for small processing and manufacturing enterprises.
[0037] In this embodiment, the first vertical telescopic member 23 and the second vertical telescopic member 52 can be telescopic members such as vertically arranged hydraulic telescopic cylinders and electric push rods. The first horizontal moving member 24, the second horizontal moving member 25, and the third horizontal moving member 53 can be horizontally arranged lead screw moving members or hydraulic telescopic rods and electric push rods. The lead screw moving member includes a motor, a lead screw, and a nut. The motor is used to drive the lead screw to rotate. The lead screw is horizontally arranged and is a threaded shaft with very high straightness and a semi-circular spiral groove machined on the side wall. The lead screw meshes with the nut to convert the rotational motion into a linear motion. When the first horizontal moving member 24, the second horizontal moving member 25, and the third horizontal moving member 53 are lead screw moving members, the top of the first vertical telescopic member 23 is connected to the nut in the first horizontal moving member 24, so that the first vertical telescopic member 23 can move linearly along the lead screw in the first horizontal moving member 24; a point at the top of the first horizontal moving member 24 is connected to the nut in the second horizontal moving member 25, so that the first horizontal moving member 24 can move linearly along the lead screw in the second horizontal moving member 25; the top of the second vertical telescopic member 52 is connected to the nut in the third horizontal moving member 53, so that the second vertical telescopic member 52 can move linearly along the lead screw in the third horizontal moving member 53.
[0038] In this embodiment, the first vertical telescopic member 23, the first horizontal moving member 24, the second horizontal moving member 25, the second vertical telescopic member 52, the third horizontal moving member 53, the pipe shrinking mechanism 1, the flattening mechanism 3, and the vibrating table 41 are all connected to the controller.
[0039] In this embodiment, the positions of the material transporting mechanism 2 and the discharging mechanism 5 can also be arranged staggeredly to reduce the lateral space.

Various modifications to these embodiments will be obvious to those skilled in the art. The general principles defined herein can be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention.
