Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of steel pipe packaging, in particular to a steel pipe side alignment device for a steel pipe packaging machine. Background Art

[0002] A steel pipe baler is a device specifically designed for baling steel pipes. This allows multiple steel pipes to be safely and compactly packaged for easy storage and transportation. It typically includes several main components: a conveying device, a side alignment device, a conveying device, a fixing device, and a baling mechanism. The conveying device is used to convey the steel pipes to the baler's side alignment device. By automatically aligning the sides of the steel pipes, the conveying device then transports the steel pipes to the fixing device to prevent them from moving or slipping during the baling process. The baling mechanism is responsible for wrapping the steel pipes. The steel pipe side alignment device reduces the time and labor costs of manual alignment, thereby improving baling efficiency. The automatic alignment device can more accurately control the position and direction of the steel pipes, ensuring that the baled steel pipes are neatly packaged, compact, and not prone to loosening.

[0003] However, the existing technical solutions still have the following problems:

[0004] The existing alignment method uses a robotic arm. As a high-precision automated device, the manufacturing and maintenance costs of a robotic arm are generally high. This includes the cost of the robotic arm itself, the control system, and ongoing maintenance costs. The operation and programming of the robotic arm require specialized technicians, which increases the difficulty of personnel training and technical support. For general operators, it may take a long time to get started. The stable operation of the robotic arm requires the support of a precise control system. Any failure in the control system may affect the accuracy and efficiency of the entire alignment process. Utility Model Content

[0019] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0020] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, a steel pipe side alignment device for a steel pipe baler includes an alignment body 1, a front aligning plate 3 connected to the output end of an electric propulsion rod is provided at one end of the alignment body 1, and a rear aligning plate 2 is provided at the other end of the alignment body 1, and the alignment body 1, the rear aligning plate 2 and the front aligning plate 3 are aligned.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, when a steel pipe side alignment device for a steel pipe baler in the present invention is in use, the alignment body 1 serves as the main structure of the entire alignment device. The alignment body 1 provides a stable support platform to ensure that the front aligning plate 3 and the rear aligning plate 2 can maintain a relatively fixed positional relationship, thereby achieving accurate alignment of the steel pipe. The electric propulsion rod drives the front aligning plate 3. By controlling the extension and retraction of the electric propulsion rod, the position of the front aligning plate 3 can be accurately adjusted, thereby pushing the steel pipe forward and aligning it with the rear aligning plate 2. The rear aligning plate 2 serves as the reference surface for alignment, and its position is fixed. As the steel pipe moves forward, it will continue to approach and eventually align with the rear aligning plate 2.

[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, a support frame 4 is provided at one end of the alignment body 1, the top of the support frame 4 is rotatably connected to a rotating rod 5, the bottom of the rotating rod 5 is fixedly connected to a frame 202, the inner wall of the frame 202 and the outer side of the rear aligning plate 2 are fitted and connected, and the surface of the rear aligning plate 2 and the frame 202 are fitted and connected with a connecting plate 201, and are fixedly connected through the connecting plate 201.

[0023] Specifically, by setting up this support frame 4 as the support base of the rotating rod 5, it bears and transmits the gravity and working load from the rotating rod 5 and its accessories. The rotating rod 5 provides adjustable space for the frame 202 and the rear aligning plate 2 connected to it through its rotation function. The position of the rear aligning plate 2 is changed to facilitate the subsequent transportation of steel pipes. The connecting plate 201 serves as a connecting piece between the rear aligning plate 2 and the frame 202, playing a role of fixing and supporting. It ensures that the rear aligning plate 2 will not loosen or shift due to force during operation, thereby ensuring the accuracy and stability of alignment. By removing the connecting plate 201, the fixed connection between the rear aligning plate 2 and the frame 202 is released, and the rear aligning plate 2 can now be removed from the frame 202 relatively easily. This facilitates the replacement of rear aligning plates 2 of different sizes or types.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, one end of the rotating rod 5 passes through the support frame 4 and is fixedly connected to the output end of the external motor.

[0025] Specifically, this arrangement allows one end of the rotating rod 5 to pass through a pre-recorded hole in the support frame 4, allowing the rotating rod 5 to rotate within the support frame 4 while maintaining its positional stability. The external motor receives a control signal to start and stop operation and control the rotation direction of its output shaft. The aligned steel pipes are then transported to the packaging mechanism.

[0026] like Figures 2 to 3 As shown, a fixing rod 6 is provided at one end of the alignment body 1 and is aligned with the support frame 4. A clamping block 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixing rod 6. A clamping slot 701 is provided on the top of the clamping block 7 to fit and connect with one end of the rotating rod 5.

[0027] Specifically, through this arrangement, a fixing rod 6 is positioned at one end of the alignment body 1 and aligned with the support frame 4. This alignment ensures horizontal alignment between the fixing rod 6 and the support frame 4. A slot 701 at the top of the clamping block 7 is secured to one end of the rotating rod 5. When the rear aligning plate 2 is impacted by the steel pipe, the fixing rod 6 and the support frame 4 secure it in place, preventing any deviation that could affect alignment.

[0028] like Figure 4 As shown, a plurality of springs 302 are fixedly connected to the back of the front aligning plate 3, the other end of the spring 302 is fixedly connected to a fixing slot 301, and the back of the fixing slot 301 is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric propulsion rod.

[0029] Specifically, the fixing groove 301 serves as a connection between the spring 302 and the front aligning plate 3, securing and supporting the spring 302. This ensures that the spring 302 is stably mounted on the front aligning plate 3 and maintains its correct position and posture during operation. When the front aligning plate 3 contacts the steel pipe and applies thrust, the spring 302 acts as a buffer, preventing the steel pipe from being excessively squeezed and potentially damaged.

[0030] like Figure 4 As shown, the outer side of the front aligning plate 3 and the inner wall of the fixing groove 301 are slidably connected.

[0031] Specifically, the sliding connection allows the front aligning plate 3 to slide smoothly along the inner wall of the fixing groove 301 when subjected to the thrust of the steel pipe or other external forces. This sliding mechanism effectively limits the lateral movement and rotation of the front aligning plate 3, thereby maintaining the stability of its surface and preventing skew.

[0032] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
