Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of pipe feeding, and in particular to a pipe feeding machine. Background Art

[0002] Drilling and tapping is a metalworking process consisting of two main steps: drilling and tapping. Drilling is the process of creating a circular hole in a metal material using a drill bit; tapping is the process of creating threads within the drilled hole to allow for the subsequent installation of a fastener with the corresponding thread, such as a bolt or screw. These two steps are commonly used to connect and secure metal materials and are widely used in various fields, including machinery manufacturing, automotive repair, and construction.

[0003] During processing, the pipe needs to be fed into the drilling and tapping equipment for processing; currently, the traditional loading method requires the operator to hold the pipe and feed it into the drilling and tapping equipment.

[0004] However, when operators hold the pipes in their hands to load the materials, the rate at which the pipes are fed into the drilling and tapping equipment cannot be accurately controlled, which can easily affect the processing quality. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to improve the problems existing in the above-mentioned technology, the present application provides a pipe loading machine.

[0006] This application provides a pipe loading machine, which adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] A pipe loading machine includes: a loading box, a loading assembly is arranged on the loading box, and the loading assembly includes: a feeding part, a pushing part and a discharging part. The feeding part and the discharging part are both arranged on the side wall of the loading box, and the pushing part is arranged in the loading box.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the feeding part is used to feed the pipe into the upper material box, and then the pushing part is started to stably push the pipe through the discharging part and into the drilling and tapping equipment; compared with the method of operators holding the pipe to load the material, the conveying rate of the pipe can be accurately controlled, which is not easy to affect the processing quality.

[0009] Optionally, the feeding part includes: a feeding rack, a feeding plate and two limit plates. A feeding port is opened through the loading box. The feeding rack is fixed on the loading box with one end located in the loading box and fixed to the feeding plate, and the other end extends out of the loading box. The limit plate is arranged on the feeding rack.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, when loading, the pipe is placed on the feed rack, and the pipe can automatically roll from the feed rack to the feed plate by its own weight, so that the pipe is sent into the loading box.

[0011] Optionally, the discharging portion includes: a discharging cylinder, and the discharging cylinder is connected to the loading box.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, when the pushing part pushes the pipe to move, the pipe will extend into the discharge barrel and move from the discharge barrel to the outside of the upper material box until it is sent into the drilling and tapping equipment.

[0013] Optionally, the pushing part includes: a belt, a push plate, a drive motor and two rotating rollers, the rotating rollers are rotatably installed in the feeding box, and the belt is arranged between the two rotating rollers, the driving motor is fixed in the feeding box, and the output shaft of the driving motor is coaxially fixed with any of the rotating rollers, and the push plate is fixed on the belt.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, after the pipe falls onto the feed plate, the drive motor is started to drive the rotating roller to drive the belt to rotate, so that the belt can drive the push plate to move; during the movement of the push plate, the push plate pushes the pipe stably into the drilling and tapping equipment.

[0015] Optionally, the pushing portion further includes: a guide rod, the guide rod is fixed in the loading box, and the push plate is slidably sleeved on the guide rod.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the guide rod can, on the one hand, allow the push plate to move more stably; on the other hand, the guide rod can support the push plate, thereby reducing the weight borne by the belt.

[0017] Optionally, the inner diameter of the discharge barrel decreases from an end close to the loading box to an end away from the loading box.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the pipe can be accurately inserted into the discharge barrel.

[0019] Optionally, an observation port is provided through the top of the loading box, and a cover body is rotatably mounted on the loading box, and a handle is fixedly provided on the cover body.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the observation port can be used to regularly observe the loading situation inside the loading box to prevent the pipe from getting stuck in the loading box.

[0021] Optionally, the limit plate is slidably arranged on the feed rack, and a bidirectional screw is rotatably installed on the feed rack, and one end of the bidirectional screw is threaded through one of the limit plates, and the other end is threaded through the other limit plate.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the bidirectional screw is rotated according to the length of the pipe to control the distance between the two limit plates to be consistent with the length of the pipe, thereby improving applicability.

[0023] Optionally, a buffer bar is provided on the feed plate, and a buffer spring is fixedly provided between the buffer bar and the feed plate.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, when the pipe falls onto the feed plate, the pipe impacts the buffer strip, and the buffer strip absorbs the impact force, so that the pipe is not likely to fly off the feed plate.

[0025] In summary, this application has at least one of the following beneficial effects:

[0026] 1. Use the feeding part to feed the pipe into the upper material box, and then start the pushing part to steadily push the pipe through the discharging part and into the drilling and tapping equipment. Compared with the way the operator holds the pipe to load the material, the conveying rate of the pipe can be precisely controlled, which is less likely to affect the processing quality.

[0027] 2. When loading, place the pipe on the feed rack. The pipe will automatically roll down from the feed rack to the feed plate under its own weight, and then be fed into the loading box.

[0028] 3. On the one hand, the guide rod can make the push plate move more stably; on the other hand, the guide rod can support the push plate, thereby reducing the weight on the belt. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0034] The present application provides a pipe loader.

[0035] Example 1:

[0036] See also Figure 1 A pipe feeding machine includes: a feeding box 1, which is rectangular. A feeding assembly is provided in the feeding box 1. The feeding assembly can feed pipes into a drilling and tapping device for processing. Compared with the method of loading pipes by hand by an operator, the rate at which the feeding assembly conveys the pipes can be precisely controlled, thereby not easily affecting the processing quality.

[0037] See also Figure 1 In the embodiment of the present application, an observation port 12 is provided through the top of the loading box 1. The observation port 12 can be used to regularly observe the loading situation inside the loading box 1 to prevent the pipe from getting stuck in the loading box 1.

[0038] See also Figure 1 In addition, a cover 13 is rotatably mounted on the top of the loading box 1. When observation is not required, the cover 13 covers the observation port 12 to protect the loading structure inside the loading box 1 and reduce environmental noise. A handle 131 is fixed to the top wall of the cover 13, which facilitates lifting the cover 13 to open the observation port 12.

[0039] See also Figure 2 The loading assembly includes: a feeding part 2, a pushing part 3 and a discharging part 4.

[0040] See also Figure 2 The feeding part 2 includes: a feeding rack 21, a feeding plate 22 and two limit plates 23. The feeding box 1 is provided with a feeding port 11 on one side along the width direction and along the length direction. The feeding rack 21 is fixed on the feeding box 1, and one end of the feeding rack 21 is located in the feeding box 1 and is fixedly connected to the feeding plate 22, and the other end extends out of the feeding box 1. In the embodiment of the present application, the feeding rack 21 is tilted, and the end of the feeding rack 21 located in the feeding box 1 is lower than the end located outside the feeding box 1; the feeding plate 22 is approximately "L"-shaped. When loading, the pipe is placed on the feeding rack 21, and the pipe can automatically roll from the feeding rack 21 to the feeding plate 22 by its own weight, so that the pipe is fed into the feeding box 1.

[0041] See also Figure 2 The limiting plates 23 are arranged on the feed rack 21, and the two limiting plates 23 are located at both ends of the feed rack 21 along the length direction. The limiting plates 23 can limit the pipe so that when the pipe rolls on the feed rack 21, the pipe is not easy to roll off the feed rack 21 to the ground.

[0042] See also Figure 2The pushing portion 3 includes a belt 31, a push plate 32, a drive motor 33, and two rotating rollers 34. The rotating rollers 34 are rotatably mounted on the inner sidewall of the loading box 1, and the two rotating rollers 34 are respectively located at the two ends of the loading box 1 along the length direction; the belt 31 is arranged between the two rotating rollers 34. The drive motor 33 is fixed to the inner sidewall of the loading box 1 and is located directly below any one of the rotating rollers 34. The output shaft of the drive motor 33 is coaxially fixed to the adjacent rotating roller 34.

[0043] See also Figure 2 The push plate 32 is fixed on the belt 31. After the pipe falls onto the feed plate 22, the drive motor 33 is started to drive the rotating roller 34 to drive the belt 31 to rotate, so that the belt 31 can drive the push plate 32 to move; during the movement of the push plate 32, the push plate 32 pushes the pipe stably into the drilling and tapping equipment.

[0044] See also Figure 2 Furthermore, the pushing part 3 also includes: a guide rod 35, which is fixed in the loading box 1 and is horizontally arranged; the push plate 32 is slidably mounted on the guide rod 35, and the guide rod 35 can make the push plate 32 move more stably on the one hand; on the other hand, the guide rod 35 can support the push plate 32, thereby reducing the weight borne by the belt 31, so that the belt 31 can drive the push plate 32 to move more stably.

[0045] See also Figure 2 The discharging part 4 includes: a discharging cylinder 41, which is connected to the loading box 1 and is arranged horizontally. When the push plate 32 pushes the pipe to move, the pipe will extend into the discharging cylinder 41 and move from the discharging cylinder 41 to the outside of the upper feeding box 1 until it is sent into the drilling and tapping equipment.

[0046] See also Figure 2 Furthermore, the diameter of the discharge barrel 41 decreases from one end of the discharge barrel 41 close to the loading box 1 to the other end away from the loading box 1. With this arrangement, the pipe can be accurately inserted into the discharge barrel 41.

[0047] The working principle of embodiment 1 is as follows: after the pipe falls onto the feed plate 22, the drive motor 33 is started to drive the rotating roller 34 to drive the belt 31 to rotate, so that the belt 31 can drive the push plate 32 to move; during the movement of the push plate 32, the push plate 32 pushes the pipe into the discharge barrel 41, and the pipe enters the drilling and tapping equipment stably from the discharge barrel 41.

[0048] Example 2:

[0049] See also Figure 3The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the limit plate 23 is slidably connected to the feed rack 21; a bidirectional screw 211 is rotatably installed on one end of the feed rack 21 away from the feed plate 22, and one end of the bidirectional screw 211 is threaded through one of the limit plates 23 and the other end is threaded through the other limit plate 23. When loading, the bidirectional screw 211 is rotated according to the length of the pipe to control the distance between the two limit plates 23 to be consistent with the length of the pipe, thereby improving applicability.

[0050] See also Figure 4 A buffer strip 2211 is fixedly provided on one side of the feed plate 22 facing the feed rack 21. In the embodiment of the present application, the buffer strip 2211 is made of rubber. When the pipe falls onto the feed plate 22, the pipe impacts the buffer strip 2211, and the buffer strip 2211 absorbs the impact force, thereby preventing the pipe from flying off the feed plate 22.

[0051] See also Figure 4 A buffer spring 2212 is fixedly provided between the buffer bar 2211 and the feed plate 22. The buffer spring 2212 can assist the buffer bar 2211 in absorbing the impact force, thereby achieving a buffering effect.

[0052] The working principle of the second embodiment is as follows: when loading, the bidirectional screw 211 is rotated according to the length of the pipe to control the distance between the two limit plates 23 to be consistent with the length of the pipe, thereby improving applicability.

[0053] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
