[0028] It is easy to understand that according to the technical solution of the present invention, without changing the essential spirit of the present invention, a person skilled in the art can propose a variety of interchangeable structural methods and implementation methods. Therefore, the following specific embodiments and drawings are only illustrative of the technical solution of the present invention and should not be regarded as the entire present invention or as a limitation or restriction of the technical solution of the present invention.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, as the steel pipe automatic loading and unloading manipulator of the present invention, it includes a fixed frame 1, a support plate 2 and a track 3. The fixed frame 1 is located between the support plate 2 and the track 3. There are two support plates 2, and the support plates 2 pass through the fixed frame 1. A servo motor 9 is provided on one side of the fixed frame 1. Figure 2 As shown, the output end of the servo motor 9 is connected to a vertical threaded rod 10, and a threaded block 11 is threaded on the threaded rod 10. The end of the threaded block 11 is provided with a working box 6 located in the fixed frame 1, and one end of the working box 6 is provided with a slider 12 that is slidably connected to the other side of the fixed frame 1. The servo motor 9 drives the threaded block 11 to move on the threaded rod 10, thereby driving the working box 6 to rise and fall in the fixed frame 1.

[0030] A driving motor 15 is provided on one side of the working box 6. Figure 3As shown, the output end of the driving motor 15 is connected to a bidirectional screw rod 16, and a moving block 17 is symmetrically threaded on the bidirectional screw rod 16. The end of the moving block 17 is provided with an electric telescopic rod 14, and the output end of the electric telescopic rod 14 is provided with a grabbing plate 13 facing the track 3, and the grabbing plate 13 is completely located above the support plate 2, which is conducive to the stable loading work. The driving motor 15 drives the two moving blocks 17 to move in opposite directions on the bidirectional screw rod 16, thereby driving the two grabbing plates 13 to move in opposite directions and then changing the distance between the two grabbing plates 13.

[0031] like Figure 3 As shown, two corners with inner corners facing upwards are set on the side of the grabbing plate 13 close to the track 3, and the part between the first corner and the second corner of the grabbing plate 13 is in a horizontal state. A hanger 4 is hung on the grabbing plate 13, and a detachable extension rod 7 is set at the bottom of both sides of the hanger 4, and a number of steel pipes 5 are inserted between the extension rods 7 on both sides. A manipulator is formed by two grabbing plates 13, and the grabbing plate 13 is driven down to pass through the hanger 4 by the servo motor 9. The hanger 4 and the steel pipe 5 on the support plate 2 are grabbed by the servo motor 9 and the electric telescopic rod 14 to carry out the loading work. The horizontal part of the grabbing plate 13 provides a space for the hanger 4, so that the hanger 4 and the steel pipe 5 can be stably hung on the grabbing plate 13 when the grabbing plate 13 is loading. The spacing between the grabbing plates 13 on both sides is not less than half of the length of the hanger 4, ensuring the stability of the grabbing plate 13 when grabbing the hanger 4, thereby ensuring the stable loading work.

[0032] like Figure 4 As shown, the track 3 is connected end to end, a sensor is provided on the track 3, and a number of connecting rods 19 are provided at the bottom of the track 3 for mechanical movement along the track 3, and a crossbeam 18 is suspended at the bottom of every two connecting rods 19, and hooks 8 are provided on both sides of the hanger 4. The electric telescopic rod 14 cooperates with the servo motor 9 to move the hanger 4 close to the crossbeam 18 and hang the hook 8 on the crossbeam 18 to perform the unloading work. The straight-line distance between the hook 8 and the crossbeam 18 is smaller than the straight-line distance between the grab plate 13 and the crossbeam 18, so that the hook 8 contacts the crossbeam 18 first to ensure that the hook 8 can be stably hung on the crossbeam 18, avoiding the grab plate 13 interfering with the hook 8 hanging on the crossbeam 18, and the spacing between the two connecting rods 19 is equal to the spacing between the two hooks 8, so that no matter whether the inner spacing between the two connecting rods 19 is equal to the inner spacing between the two hooks 8 or the outer spacing between the two connecting rods 19 is equal to the inner spacing between the two hooks 8, the hook 8 all contacts the connecting rod 19 to ensure that the hook 8 will not move arbitrarily when hanging on the crossbeam 18, thereby ensuring the stable progress of the subsequent conveying work.

[0033] When in use, the hanger 4 and the steel pipe 5 are placed on the two support plates 2 and the hanger 4 is located under the grabbing plate 13. The servo motor 9 is used to drive the grabbing plate 13 to descend to the bottom of the grabbing plate 13. The electric telescopic rod 14 drives the grabbing plate 13 to move while the servo motor 9 drives the grabbing plate 13 to rise, so as to grab the hanger 4 to complete the loading work. After rising to a certain height, the sensor moves the crossbeam 18 to the position corresponding to the hanger 4, and the electric telescopic rod 14 drives the grabbing plate 13 and the hanger 4 close to the crossbeam 18. The servo motor 9 works to make the hook 8 hang on the crossbeam 18. The servo motor 9 drives the grabbing plate 13 to descend so that the grabbing plate 13 is separated from the hanger 4 to complete the unloading work. Finally, the connecting rod 19 mechanically moves along the track 3 to drive the crossbeam 18, the hanger 4 and the steel pipe 5 to the designated position to complete the transportation work.

[0034] The technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the contents described above. Those skilled in the art can make various deformations and modifications to the above embodiments without departing from the technical concept of the present invention, and these deformations and modifications should all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
