Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of automation equipment, especially a single pipe distributing device. BACKGROUND

[0002] Because laser pipe cutting machine has the characteristics of high precision, cutting speed, no limitation on cutting pattern, smooth cutting edge and low processing cost, it has gradually replaced the traditional pipe cutting process equipment. In the whole processing process of laser pipe cutting machine, the feeding process as an important link determines the efficiency and processing quality of the whole process. However, the existing pipe feeding mechanism mostly adopts manual feeding or semi-automatic feeding mode, and the efficiency of these two feeding modes is low. When encountering a pipe with very large quality, it is necessary to use lifting equipment for operation, which takes a long time, has low efficiency and high danger. Although the automatic feeding mode can reduce the labor intensity of the operator, the existing automatic feeding device has low inclusivity for pipe type, size and pipe wall thickness, and the success rate of feeding is low, which needs multiple operations and cannot meet the use demand of laser pipe cutting machine.

[0003] Patent No. CN201820981308.2 discloses a pipe feeding device, which relates to the field of machine tool feeding. The device adopts multiple parts to ensure the automation and order of pipe feeding. The material warehouse part is mainly used for carrying and feeding out the pipe. The stacked pipes are laid on the feeding platform of the feeding part under the action of the height limiting part. The pipe is transported to the selected material platform of the selected material part through the feeding part. The pipe is positioned by the movable hard stop in the selected material part. The pipe is selected out by moving the movable hard stop. The pipe is separated by the distributing part. The pipe is positioned by the fixed length part. After positioning, the pipe is transported to the processing area by rotating the feeding part. In the specific embodiment of the disclosed patent, the feeding chain 31 of the feeding part 3 cooperates with the supporting sprocket 32 to feed the pipe 8 to the sliding material rack 51. Since the sliding material rack 51 has a certain slope, the pipe 8 freely slides to the movable hard stop 52 under the action of its own gravity. The sensor is installed in the movable hard stop 52. At this time, the pipe and the sensor installed in the movable hard stop 52 are inducted, the feeding motor stops rotating, and the feeding part 3 stops working. The pipe 8 is laid on the surface of the feeding chain 31 and the sliding material rack 51. The material is fed by the material warehouse part 2. The material needs to pass through the feeding part 3 to be transported to the selected material part 5. After arranging in the selected material part 5, the pipe is separated by the distributing part. The process is complicated, time-consuming and high in equipment cost. At the same time, the width of the whole equipment is increased, and the occupied space is increased. Therefore, the utility model provides a single pipe distributing device. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS
