Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of pipe transportation, in particular to a pipe transportation device. Background Art

[0002] Pipe transportation is a common process in industrial production, encompassing diverse sectors such as construction, petroleum, chemicals, and machinery manufacturing. Traditional pipe transportation often relies on manual handling or simple mechanical transfer, which presents numerous shortcomings. For example, manual handling is not only inefficient but also prone to workplace accidents. Simple mechanical transfer, however, can lead to pipe deflection, tumbling, or even falling during transportation due to poor design, compromising product quality. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a pipe conveying device, which, through the coordinated work of two relatively arranged conveying units and a clamping assembly, not only improves the conveying efficiency, but also enhances the stability and safety of the pipe during the conveying process, and avoids the pipe from deflecting, rolling or falling off during the conveying process.

[0004] A pipe conveying device is used to convey pipes to a cutting station, characterized in that it includes a frame, on which are provided two conveying units arranged opposite to each other, the conveying units including a driving member and a transmission member, the transmission member being arranged along the length direction of the frame, the driving member driving the transmission member to perform a rotational motion, and a plurality of clamping assemblies being provided on the transmission member, the clamping assemblies being evenly arranged around the outer ring wall of the transmission member, the clamping assembly of one conveying unit clamping one end of the pipe, and the clamping assembly of the other conveying unit clamping the other end of the pipe.

[0005] In the above technical solution, when a pipe needs to be transported, the ends of the pipe are placed on the clamping assemblies of the two conveying units, respectively. The clamping assemblies use a clamping force to stably clamp the pipe. The drive unit is then activated, driving the conveying unit to rotate. As the conveying unit rotates, the clamping assembly moves the pipe along the length of the frame, thereby transporting the pipe. During the transport process, the clamping assembly maintains a stable grip on the pipe, ensuring that the pipe does not wobble or fall off. When the pipe is transported to the cutting station, the cutting equipment at the cutting station cuts the pipe. After cutting, the clamping assembly releases its grip on the pipe, the drive unit is activated again, and the conveying unit continues its rotational motion, moving the clamping assembly to its initial position and re-gripping a new pipe for transport. Through the coordinated operation of the two opposing conveying units and the clamping assembly, this utility model not only improves transport efficiency but also enhances the stability and safety of the pipe during transport, preventing the pipe from deflecting, rolling, or falling off during transport.

[0006] Furthermore, the clamping assembly includes a base, a rotating seat and a clamping member, one end of the base is fixedly connected to the transmission member, and the other end is rotatably connected to the rotating seat, and the clamping member is provided on the rotating seat.

[0007] In the above technical solution, the clamping member can be rotated to a certain extent on the base through the rotating seat. This design increases the adaptability of the clamping assembly to pipes of different diameters.

[0008] Furthermore, a first groove body for accommodating the pipe is provided on a side of the clamping member away from the rotating seat.

[0009] In the above technical solution, the design of the first trough body enables the pipe to be clamped on the clamping member more stably, reduces shaking and deviation of the pipe during transportation, and improves transportation stability.

[0010] Furthermore, a second groove body is provided on a side of the clamping member close to the rotating seat, and an elastic member is provided in the second groove body.

[0011] In the above technical solution, when the pipe is placed in the first trough, the elastic member in the second trough is deformed by pressure, providing additional clamping force and cushioning. In this way, the pipe is stably and securely fixed to the clamping member and moves with the conveyor.

[0012] Furthermore, it also includes a first moving component, which drives one of the conveying units to move toward the other conveying unit, so that the two conveying units are close to each other.

[0013] In the above technical solution, the design of the first moving assembly enables one conveying unit to move toward the other conveying unit, thereby flexibly adjusting the distance between the two conveying units. This design allows the conveying device to accommodate pipes of different lengths and specifications, improving the versatility and flexibility of the equipment.

[0014] Furthermore, it also includes a second moving component, which drives one of the conveying units to move along the length direction of the frame.

[0015] In the above technical solution, the primary function of the second moving assembly is to drive one of the conveyor units to move along the length of the frame, thereby changing its position relative to the other conveyor unit. This allows the pipe to be cut at different angles. Furthermore, the system includes a blocking structure located at the turning point of the conveyor member. When the clamping assembly moves to the turning point, the blocking structure separates the pipe from the clamping assembly.

[0016] In the above technical solution, the blocking structure is arranged at the turning point of the conveying member. When the clamping assembly moves to this position with the pipe, the blocking structure can intervene to separate the pipe from the clamping assembly, so that the conveying member moves the clamping assembly to the initial position to clamp the new pipe.

[0017] Furthermore, a material frame is provided on one side of the frame close to the rotating part.

[0018] In this technical solution, when the gripper assembly carrying the tubing moves to the turning point of the conveyor, the blocking structure intervenes to separate the tubing from the gripper assembly. The tubing then falls into the collection basket, achieving automatic collection. This feature reduces the number of manual tubing collection steps and improves production efficiency.

[0019] Compared to the prior art, the present invention offers the following advantages: By designing two opposing conveying units, each comprising a drive member and a transmission member, the outer annular wall of which is evenly spaced with a plurality of clamping assemblies. When a pipe needs to be transported, the ends of the pipe are placed on the clamping assemblies of the two conveying units, respectively. The drive member is then activated, causing the transmission member to rotate. As the transmission member rotates, the clamping assemblies move the pipe along the length of the frame, achieving efficient pipe transport. The design of the clamping assemblies ensures a stable grip on the pipe, enhancing its stability and safety during transport. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0028] The following will further describe the pipe conveying device of the present invention in detail with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. The accompanying drawings show preferred embodiments of the present invention. However, the present invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein.

[0029] Please refer to Figure 1 In a preferred embodiment, the pipe conveying device of the present invention is used to convey pipes to a cutting station, and includes a frame 1. Two conveying units 2 are arranged opposite to each other on the frame 1. The conveying unit 2 includes a driving member 201 and a transmission member 202. The transmission member 202 is arranged along the length direction of the frame 1. The driving member 201 drives the transmission member 202 to rotate. A plurality of clamping components 3 are provided on the transmission member 202. The clamping components 3 are evenly arranged around the outer ring wall of the transmission member 202. The clamping component 3 of one conveying unit 2 clamps one end of the pipe, and the clamping component 3 of the other conveying unit 2 clamps the other end of the pipe.

[0030] In actual application, when the above structure needs to be used to transport pipes, the two ends of the pipe are placed on the clamping assemblies 3 of the two conveying units 2 respectively. The clamping assemblies 3 stably clamp the pipe through the clamping force. Then the driving member 201 is started, and the driving member 201 drives the conveying member 202 to rotate. As the conveying member 202 rotates, the clamping assembly 3 drives the pipe to move along the length direction of the frame 1, thereby realizing the transportation of the pipe. During the transportation process, the clamping assembly 3 always maintains a stable clamping of the pipe to ensure that the pipe does not shake or fall off. When the pipe is transported to the cutting station, the conveying member 202 stops moving, and the cutting equipment on the cutting station cuts the pipe. After the cutting is completed, the clamping assembly 3 releases its clamping of the pipe, the driving member 201 is started again, and the conveying member 202 continues to rotate to move the clamping assembly 3 to the initial position, and re-clamps the new pipe for transportation. The utility model not only improves the conveying efficiency but also enhances the stability and safety of the pipe during the conveying process through the coordinated work of the two relatively arranged conveying units 2 and the clamping assembly 3, thereby avoiding the pipe from deflecting, rolling or falling off during the conveying process.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 2The clamping assembly 3 of this embodiment includes a base 301, a rotating base 302, and a clamping member 303. One end of the base 301 is fixedly connected to the conveying member 202, and the other end is rotatably connected to the rotating base 302. The clamping member 303 is arranged on the rotating base 302. The clamping member 303 can rotate to a certain extent on the base 301 through the rotating base 302. This design increases the adaptability of the clamping assembly 3 to pipes of different diameters. The connection between the clamping member 303 and the rotating base 302 and the rotational connection between the rotating base 302 and the base 301 together constitute a stable clamping system. This design not only ensures the stability of the pipe during transportation, but also reduces production interruptions and safety risks caused by shaking or falling of the pipe.

[0032] For details, please refer to Figure 3 A first groove 3031 for accommodating the tubing is provided on the side of the clamping member 303 away from the rotating base 302. The design of the first groove 3031 allows the tubing to be more stably clamped on the clamping member 303, reducing shaking and deviation during transportation and improving transportation stability. Due to the design of the first groove 3031, the clamping assembly 3 can clamp the tubing more quickly and accurately, thereby reducing waiting time and operation time during transportation, helping to improve the production efficiency of the entire production line and reduce production costs. In actual applications, the shape and size of the first groove 3031 can be adjusted according to the specifications of different tubing materials.

[0033] Furthermore, a second groove 3032 is provided on the side of the clamping member 303 close to the rotating seat 302, and an elastic member 4 is provided in the second groove 3032. When the pipe is placed in the first groove 3031, the elastic member 4 in the second groove 3032 is deformed by the pressure, providing additional clamping force and buffering effect. In this way, the pipe is stably and safely fixed on the clamping member 303 and moves with the conveying member. Specifically, when the diameter of the pipe changes, the elastic member 4 can automatically adjust its degree of deformation according to the diameter of the pipe, thereby maintaining a stable clamping effect. This design increases the versatility and flexibility of the equipment, allowing the same conveying device to handle pipes of various specifications.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 1, further comprising a first moving assembly 5, which drives one of the conveying units 2 to move toward the other conveying unit 2 so that the two conveying units 2 are closer to each other. The design of the first moving assembly 5 enables one of the conveying units 2 to move toward the other conveying unit 2, thereby flexibly adjusting the spacing between the two conveying units 2. This design enables the conveying device to adapt to pipes of different lengths and specifications, improving the versatility and flexibility of the equipment. In addition, by adjusting the spacing between the two conveying units 2, it is possible to ensure that the clamping assembly 3 can maintain the optimal clamping angle and clamping force when clamping the pipe, which helps to improve the stability of the clamping and reduce the risk of the pipe shaking and falling off during transportation.

[0035] Furthermore, a second moving assembly 6 is included, which drives one of the conveying units 2 to move along the length of the frame 1. The main function of the second moving assembly 6 is to drive one of the conveying units 2 to move along the length of the frame 1, thereby changing the position of the clamping assembly 3 on it relative to the clamping assembly 3 of the other conveying unit, thereby allowing the pipe to be cut at different angles.

[0036] The conveyor 202 also includes a blocking structure 7, which is located at the turning point of the conveyor 202. When the clamping assembly 3 moves to the turning point, the blocking structure 7 separates the pipe from the clamping assembly 3. The blocking structure 7 is located at the turning point of the conveyor 202. When the clamping assembly 3 carrying the pipe moves to this position, the blocking structure 7 can intervene and separate the pipe from the clamping assembly 3, allowing the conveyor 202 to move the clamping assembly 3 to the initial position to clamp a new pipe.

[0037] Furthermore, a material basket 8 is provided on one side of the frame 1 near the rotating section. When the clamping assembly 3 carrying the pipe moves to the rotating section of the conveyor 202, a blocking structure 7 intervenes to separate the pipe from the clamping assembly 3. The pipe then falls into the material basket 8, achieving automatic collection of the pipe. This feature reduces the need for manual pipe collection and improves production efficiency.
