[0020] The present invention will be described in further detail below based on the accompanying drawings and implementation examples.

[0021] In this specification, directional terms such as up, down, left, right, front, back, front, back, top, and bottom, which are mentioned or may be mentioned, are defined relative to the configurations shown in the accompanying drawings. The terms "inside" and "outside" refer to directions toward or away from the geometric center of a specific component, respectively. These are relative concepts and may vary depending on the location and usage of the component. Therefore, these or other directional terms should not be construed as restrictive.

[0022] This embodiment provides a steel pipe automatic stacking device, referring to Figures 1 to 4 It includes a transmission mechanism for transmitting steel pipes, a supporting platform 2 for receiving the steel pipes transported by the transmission mechanism, and a stacking rack 3 for stacking steel pipes, which are arranged in sequence. A conveying mechanism 4 is provided between the transmission mechanism and the stacking rack 3. The conveying mechanism 4 is staggered with the supporting platform 2. The conveying mechanism 4 is used to transport the steel pipes located on the supporting platform 2 to the stacking rack 3. In addition, the stacking rack 3 is connected to a first lifting mechanism 5, which is used to drive the stacking rack 3 to rise and fall vertically.

[0023] When the stacking device in this embodiment is working, the steel pipe is first transported to the supporting platform 2 by the transmission mechanism, and the steel pipe is temporarily placed on the supporting platform 2. When multiple steel pipes are accumulated on the supporting platform 2, the multiple steel pipes are transported to the stacking rack 3 by the transporting mechanism 4, so as to realize automatic stacking of the steel pipes, which helps to reduce the labor intensity of the operators. At the same time, since the first lifting mechanism 5 can drive the stacking rack 3 to rise and fall vertically, the operators can flexibly adjust the height of the stacking rack 3 according to needs, making it more convenient for the operators to bundle the steel pipes in the stacking rack 3, further reducing the labor intensity of the operators.

[0024] In the present embodiment, the stacking frame 3 is provided with two and is spaced apart along the length direction of the steel pipe. The stacking frame 3 includes a horizontally arranged supporting member 31 and two vertically arranged limiting members 32 respectively fixed at both ends of the supporting member 31. The two limiting members 32 are relatively spaced apart, that is, the steel pipe is supported by the supporting member 31, and the limiting members 32 limit the position of the steel pipe. The first lifting mechanism 5 includes a plurality of telescopic components, the telescopic components including a driving member and a telescopic member, the telescopic member being movably arranged in the driving member, the driving member being used to drive the telescopic member to vertically lift and lower, and the telescopic member being connected to the limiting members 32 via a transmission member 6. When working, the telescopic member is driven by the driving member to vertically lift and lower, thereby driving the stacking frame 3 connected to the telescopic member to vertically lift and lower. At the same time, each limiting member 32 is connected to a telescopic component to ensure the stability of the stacking frame 3 during the rising or falling process. The telescopic component here is provided as a telescopic cylinder or a telescopic oil cylinder.

[0025] In this embodiment, the transmission mechanism includes a first drive mechanism 7 and two chain conveyor assemblies 1 spaced apart along the length of the steel pipe. The chain conveyor assembly 1 includes a conveyor frame 11, a sprocket 12 rotatably connected to the conveyor frame 11, and a conveyor chain 13 connected to the sprocket 12. The first drive mechanism 7 is used to drive the sprockets 12 on the two conveyor frames 11 to rotate synchronously, thereby driving the two conveyor chains 13 to move synchronously. The first drive mechanism 7 can be a double-headed motor, with its two rotating shafts respectively connected to the sprockets 12 on the two conveyor frames 11.

[0026] In this embodiment, a plurality of supporting members 14 are arranged in sequence on the conveying chain 13. The supporting members 14 are used to support the steel pipes. Figure 4 One end of the support member 14 is connected to the conveying chain 13, and the other end is recessed inward to form a receiving groove 15, which is used to position the steel pipe. The receiving groove 15 here is formed into a U-shape or a V-shape.

[0027] In this embodiment, the conveying mechanism 4 includes a pallet 41, a support rail 42 for supporting the pallet 41, a second driving mechanism 43 for driving the pallet 41 to move toward the stacking rack 3, and a second lifting mechanism for driving the support rail 42 to rise and fall vertically.

A first connecting member 46 is provided between the second driving mechanism and the pallet 41, and the connecting member is hinged to the pallet 41. When working, the second lifting mechanism controls the support rail 42 to rise, which can drive the pallet 41 to rise and thereby lift the steel pipe located on the supporting platform 2. Then, the second driving mechanism 43 drives the pallet 41 to move toward the stacking rack 3 until the pallet 41 is above the stacking rack 3. At this time, the support rail 42 is controlled by the second lifting mechanism to descend, driving the pallet 41 to rotate downward, so that the steel pipe on the pallet 41 slides into the stacking rack 3. In addition, the driving mechanism here can be a cylinder mechanism or a screw motor mechanism, which can drive the connecting member to move along a predetermined direction.

[0028] In this embodiment, the second lifting mechanism includes two spaced support platforms 441 disposed below the support rail 42. A second connecting member 442 is disposed between the support rail 42 and the two support platforms 441. The second connecting member 442 is hingedly connected to the support rail 42 and the support platforms 441. In addition, a second driving assembly 443 is connected to one of the second connecting members 442. The second driving assembly 443 is configured to drive the second connecting member 442 to rotate. When the second connecting member 442 rotates, the vertical height of the support rail 42 changes accordingly. The second driving assembly 443 can be configured as a cylinder mechanism.

[0029] In this embodiment, a blocking member 411 is provided on the support plate 41. The blocking member 411 is arranged on the end of the support plate 41 away from the stacking frame 3. The blocking member 411 is used to prevent the steel pipe on the support plate 41 from sliding off from the end of the support plate 41 away from the stacking frame 3.

[0030] Finally, it should be noted that the above implementation cases are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above implementation cases, ordinary technicians in this field should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the above implementation cases, or replace some of the technical features therein with equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the implementation cases of the present invention.
