DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.

[0026] In the following description, all concepts related to directionality (or orientation) such as up, down, left, right, front and back are referring to the position state of the figure being described. The purpose is to facilitate public understanding, and therefore it cannot be understood as a special limitation on the technical solution provided by the present utility model.

[0027] like Figures 1-6 As shown, an automated pipeline conveying line includes a first conveying line 1, a second conveying line 2 and a third conveying line 3.

A first transmission belt 14 and a second transmission belt 15 are provided between adjacent drive wheels 13 on the same side. A first rotary motor 16 is provided on the second transmission belt 15. The first rotary motor 16 is used to drive the drive wheels 13 to rotate, thereby simultaneously driving the operation of the first tapered roller group 12. That is, after driving the first rotary motor 16, it drives the second transmission belt 15 for circumferential transmission, which in turn drives the drive wheels 13 on the second transmission belt 15 to rotate, while simultaneously driving the first transmission belt 14 for circumferential transmission, ultimately driving the operation of the entire first tapered roller group 12. The first tapered roller group 12 includes two oppositely disposed first tapered rollers 121, with a first connecting rod 122 provided between the two oppositely disposed first tapered rollers 121. The drive wheel 13 is provided on one side of the first tapered roller 121.

[0029] The steering mechanism includes a second frame 41, which is provided with a plurality of first connecting plates 42. The first connecting plates 42 are provided with a second tapered roller group. The second tapered roller group includes two oppositely disposed second tapered rollers 43. A second connecting rod is provided between the two oppositely disposed second tapered rollers 43. One end of the first connecting plate 42 is engaged with the second frame 41 and the other end is rotationally connected to the second frame 41. The second frame 41 is also provided with a first telescopic motor 44. The first telescopic rod 441 of the first telescopic motor 44 is fixedly connected to the first connecting plate 42. The second frame 41 is provided with a U-shaped block 45, which is provided in conjunction with one end of the first connecting plate 42.

[0030] The cleaning mechanism includes a third frame 51, on which are mounted a clamping assembly and a rotating assembly. The clamping assembly includes circular clamping blocks 52 disposed on either side of the third frame 51. A second connecting plate 521 is disposed on one side of the circular clamping block 52. A second telescopic motor 522 is disposed at each end of the second connecting plate 521. A second telescopic rod 5221 of the second telescopic motor 522 is fixedly connected to the second connecting plate 521. The rotating assembly is mounted on the second connecting plate 521 and includes a second rotary motor 523 for rotating the circular clamping block 52.

[0031] A third telescopic motor 53 is provided on the top of the third frame 51, and a fourth frame 54 is provided on the third telescopic rod 531 of the third telescopic motor 53. A scraper head 55 and a water spray assembly are respectively provided on both sides of the fourth frame 54, and a brush part 57 is provided in the middle of the fourth frame 54; the water spray assembly includes a nozzle 561, an infusion tube 562 and a liquid storage tank 563, and a filter tank 58 is provided at the bottom of the clamping assembly, and a return liquid pipe 59 is provided between the filter tank 58 and the liquid storage tank 563.

[0032] A limiting mechanism is provided between the filter tank 58 and the clamping assembly. The limiting mechanism comprises a fixed plate 61, to which a U-shaped frame 62 is rotatably connected. Conveyor rollers 63 are provided at both ends of the U-shaped frame 62. A fourth telescopic motor 64 is provided at the bottom of the U-shaped frame 62, and a fourth telescopic rod 641 of the fourth telescopic motor 64 is fixedly connected to the U-shaped frame 62. The second conveyor line 2 utilizes a circular conveyor line, while the third conveyor line 3 utilizes an inclined conveying platform to facilitate the transport of cleaned pipe bodies 7 to the next process.

[0033] Here’s how it works:

[0034] First, the pipe body 7 (or other barrel-shaped objects, such as rollers) is conveyed between the first tapered roller set 12 of the first conveyor line 1. The first tapered roller set 12 is designed to restrict the position of the pipe body 7 during conveyance, preventing it from falling during transport. Once the pipe is conveyed from the first conveyor line 1 to the steering mechanism, the first telescopic motor 44 is driven, extending the first telescopic rod 441, causing the first connecting plate 42 to rotate, lifting the pipe body 7 from the second tapered roller set of the steering mechanism and rolling it onto the second conveyor line 2.

[0035] The pipe body 7 on the second conveyor line 2 is transported to the limiting mechanism (a guide plate is also provided at the front end of the second conveyor line 2). By driving the fourth telescopic motor 64 of the limiting mechanism, the U-shaped frame 62 is rotated downward at one end close to the second conveyor line 2, and at the same time, the other end is rotated upward (to prevent it from falling directly onto the third conveyor line 3). After the pipe body 7 is transported to the U-shaped frame 62, it will be restricted on the U-shaped frame 62. Then, the second telescopic motor 522 is driven to clamp the pipe body 7 on the U-shaped frame 62 through the circular clamping block 52. Then, the fourth telescopic motor 64 is used to rotate the end of the U-shaped frame 62 close to the second conveyor line 2 upward. The end of the U-shaped frame 62 close to the third conveyor line 3 falls, limiting the pipe body 7 on the second conveyor line 2 from falling onto the U-shaped frame 62. Then, the second rotary motor 523 is driven to drive the circular clamping block 52 to rotate, while also driving the pipe body 7 to rotate. Drive the third telescopic motor 53, and move the scraper head 55, the nozzle 561 and the brush part 57 on the fourth frame 54 close to the pipe body 7, and clean the pipe body 7 by spraying water, brushing and scraping (after spraying water for a period of time, stop spraying water, but the brush part 57 and the scraper still clean the pipe body 7). The cleaned liquid will fall into the filter tank 58, and after being filtered, it will flow back to the liquid storage tank 563 through the reflux pipe for reuse.

[0036] After cleaning is completed, the third telescopic motor 53 is used to lift the fourth frame 54, and the scraper head 55, the nozzle 561 and the brush member 57 are moved away from the pipe body 7. At the same time, the second rotary motor 523 is turned off to stop the rotation of the pipe body 7. The second telescopic motor 522 is used to loosen the pipe body 7, so that the cleaned pipe body 7 falls back onto the U-shaped frame 62. Since the U-shaped frame 62 is in a state where one side is higher than the other, the pipe body 7 will tilt and fall onto the third conveyor line 3. Finally, the above operation is repeated to clean the pipe bodies 7 transported to the cleaning mechanism on the second conveyor line 2 one by one.

[0037] The present application converts the horizontal conveying of the pipe body 7 into longitudinal conveying by setting a steering mechanism, which can adapt to different production environment requirements and process requirements; then the outer surface of the pipe body 7 is cleaned by a cleaning mechanism to remove impurities on the outer surface of the pipe body 7, making it easier for staff to observe potential damage or defects on the pipe body 7, ensuring the qualified rate of the quality of the pipes put into use, and avoiding affecting the performance of the pipe body 7 after installation. The entire conveying and cleaning process is fully automated, reducing manual intervention and improving work efficiency.

[0038] The above content is a further detailed description of the technical solution provided in combination with the preferred implementation methods of this patent. It cannot be determined that the specific implementation of this utility model is limited to the above descriptions. For ordinary technicians in the technical field to which this patent belongs, they can make several simple deductions or replacements without departing from the concept of this patent, which should be regarded as falling within the scope of protection of this patent.
