Finally, the feeding device is used to realize the feeding. However, in actual use, it was found that the operation process is relatively complicated and not convenient to use. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the defects of the prior art and provide a pipe cutting machine feeding device that can stably feed pipes, simplify the feeding process, and improve the ease of operation.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of this utility model is: a feeding device for a pipe cutting machine, comprising:
[0006] The base includes a feeding seat and a supporting seat arranged sequentially along the feeding direction;
[0007] A feeding platform is inclinedly disposed on the feeding seat, with the inclination direction of the feeding platform facing the side of the receiving seat. A guide groove is provided vertically on the side wall of the feeding platform near the receiving seat.
[0008] The loading platform is installed on the receiving seat. The upper surface of the loading platform is provided with a pipe receiving groove suitable for accommodating pipes along its length. There is a height difference between the loading platform and the feeding platform on the adjacent side, and the loading platform is higher than the corresponding position of the feeding platform.
[0009] A lifting and transferring mechanism is fixedly installed on the material support seat. The lifting and transferring mechanism is provided with a push block, which is located between the feeding table and the loading table. The push block is set at the same tilt angle as the feeding table. The push block is provided with a guide protrusion that slides with the guide groove of the feeding table.
[0010] A feeding conveying mechanism is installed on the feeding platform and is adapted to drive the pipes in the pipe receiving groove to move along the length of the pipe receiving groove.
[0011] Furthermore, protective baffles are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the feeding platform along the length direction. The protective baffles include protective vertical plates and protective horizontal plates, and the protective vertical plates and protective horizontal plates are fixedly connected to form an L-shaped structure.
[0012] Furthermore, multiple guide rollers are hinged to the inner side of the protective cross plate along its length, and the axis of the guide rollers is perpendicular to the upper surface of the feeding table.
[0013] Furthermore, a specific structure for a lifting and transferring mechanism is provided, the lifting and transferring mechanism comprising:
[0014] A drive source is fixedly installed on the material support, and a telescopic rod is provided on the drive source;
[0015] At least one guide rod, one end of which is fixed to the push block;
[0016] A lifting connecting plate, one side of which is fixedly connected to the end of the telescopic rod, and the other side of which is fixedly connected to the guide rod;
[0017] The pusher block is fixedly installed on the guide rod.
[0018] Furthermore, the guide rod is provided in three parts, and the three guide rods are installed at equal intervals on the lifting connecting plate.
[0019] Furthermore, a specific type of drive source is provided, wherein the drive source is a telescopic cylinder.
[0020] Furthermore, a limiting baffle is provided at the starting end of the pipe receiving groove of the feeding platform, and the height of the limiting baffle is greater than the depth of the pipe receiving groove.
[0021] Furthermore, a specific structure for a feeding and conveying mechanism is provided, the feeding and conveying mechanism comprising:
[0022] A linear actuator is fixedly installed on the side of the loading platform along the length direction of the loading platform, and the linear actuator is provided with a driving slider;
[0023] A pipe moving push block, one end of which is fixedly connected to the drive slider, and the other end of which extends into the pipe receiving groove of the loading platform.
[0024] Furthermore, the feeding and conveying mechanism also includes at least one photoelectric sensor, which is fixedly installed on the feeding platform, and the feeding platform is provided with a shielding plate that cooperates with the photoelectric sensor.
[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0026] In this invention, the pipe is first placed on the feeding platform, where it rolls naturally towards the loading platform due to the platform's inclination. Because of the height difference between the loading and feeding platforms, and the loading platform being higher, the pipe will remain in the area between them. At this point, the lifting and conveying mechanism is activated, and the pusher block, driven by a drive source, begins to move upwards, simultaneously lifting the pipe on it. When the pusher block reaches the same height as the loading platform, due to its inclined position, the pipe continues to move towards the loading platform under the combined action of gravity and the inclination angle, eventually entering the pipe receiving slot on the loading platform. Subsequently, the loading conveying mechanism is activated, using a linear actuator to drive the pipe-moving pusher block, moving the pipe along the length of the receiving slot, completing the loading operation. This process is compact, with smooth operation, effectively improving loading efficiency and stability.
[0027] Furthermore, by installing protective baffles and guide rollers on both sides of the feeding platform, abnormal situations caused by pipes rolling off course or falling during feeding can be effectively avoided. The combination structure of the guide rod and lifting connecting plate in the lifting and transfer mechanism further enhances the stability of the device and the accuracy of the pusher movement during lifting. The linear drive in the feeding conveyor mechanism, in conjunction with the pipe moving pusher, can precisely push the pipes along the receiving groove, while the combined action of the photoelectric sensor and the shielding plate can monitor the pipe position in real time, improving the level of automation and reliability of operation. This ensures that the device can meet the feeding requirements of various pipe specifications, while improving the safety and practicality of use.
[0028] In summary, the pipe cutting machine feeding device of this utility model achieves efficient and stable pipe feeding and has good application value. Attached Figure Description

[0034] To make the contents of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.
[0035] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a pipe cutting machine feeding device includes:
[0036] The base includes a feeding seat 11 and a receiving seat 12 arranged sequentially along the feeding direction;
[0037] Feeding platform 2 is inclined on feeding seat 11, with the inclination direction of feeding platform 2 facing the side of receiving seat 12. A guide groove is provided on the side wall of feeding platform 2 near receiving seat 12 in the vertical direction.
[0038] The loading platform 3 is installed on the material support 12. The upper surface of the loading platform 3 is provided with a pipe receiving groove suitable for accommodating the pipe along its length. There is a height difference between the loading platform 3 and the side adjacent to the feeding platform 2, and the loading platform 3 is higher than the corresponding position of the feeding platform 2.
[0039] The lifting and transfer mechanism is fixedly installed on the material support 12. The lifting and transfer mechanism is provided with a push block 41, which is located between the feeding table 2 and the loading table 3. The push block 41 is set at the same tilt angle as the feeding table 2. The push block 41 is provided with a guide protrusion that slides with the guide groove of the feeding table 2.
[0040] The feeding conveyor mechanism is installed on the feeding platform 3. The feeding conveyor mechanism is suitable for driving the pipes in the pipe receiving groove to move along the length of the pipe receiving groove.
[0041] In this embodiment, as Figure 1-3As shown, the pipe is first placed on the feeding platform 2. Under the tilting action of the feeding platform 2, the pipe rolls naturally towards the loading platform 3. Due to the height difference between the loading platform 3 and the feeding platform 2, and the loading platform 3 being higher than the feeding platform 2, the pipe will remain in the area between them. At this time, the lifting and conveying mechanism is activated, and the pusher block 41 begins to move upward under the action of the drive source 42, simultaneously lifting the pipe on it. When the pusher block 41 moves to the same height as the loading platform 3, due to its tilted setting, the pipe continues to move upward onto the loading platform 3 under the combined action of gravity and the tilt angle, eventually entering the pipe receiving slot of the loading platform 3. Subsequently, the loading conveying mechanism is activated, driving the pipe to move the pusher block 52 via the linear drive 51, moving the pipe along the length of the pipe receiving slot, completing the loading operation. This process is compact in structure and smooth in action, effectively improving loading efficiency and stability.
[0042] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, protective baffles are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the feeding platform 2 along the length direction. The protective baffles include protective vertical plates and protective horizontal plates, and the protective vertical plates and protective horizontal plates are fixedly connected to form an L-shaped structure.
[0043] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, multiple guide rollers 6 are hinged to the inner side of the protective cross plate along the length direction, and the axis of the guide rollers 6 is perpendicular to the upper surface of the feeding table 2.
[0044] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, the protective uprights can effectively restrict the lateral movement of the pipe on the two sides of the feeding table, ensuring that the pipe always stays in the center area of the feeding table and preventing the pipe from accidentally slipping off.
[0045] Multiple guide rollers 6 are hinged along the inner length of the protective cross plate, and their axes are perpendicular to the upper surface of the feeding table 2. When the pipe rolls, the guide rollers can reduce the friction between the pipe and the side of the feeding table.
[0046] Specifically, such as Figure 1-3 As shown, the lifting and transferring mechanism can have the following structure, including:
[0047] A drive source 42 is fixedly installed on the material support 12, and a telescopic rod is provided on the drive source 42.
[0048] Three guide rods 43, one end of which is fixed to the push block 41;
[0049] The lifting connecting plate 44 has one side fixedly connected to the end of the telescopic rod and the other side fixedly connected to the guide rod.
[0050] Push block 41 is fixedly installed on guide rod 43.
[0051] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, there are three guide rods 43, which are installed at equal intervals on the lifting connecting plate 44.
[0052] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the drive source 42 is a telescopic cylinder.
[0053] In this embodiment, as Figure 2-3 As shown, the equidistant arrangement of the three guide rods 43 significantly improves the stability and accuracy of the lifting system. By arranging the three guide rods at equal intervals on the lifting connecting plate 44, lateral offset and swaying during the lifting process can be effectively reduced, ensuring that the push block 41 always moves along the ideal vertical trajectory. Furthermore, different push blocks 41 can be used to adapt to pipes of different diameters.
[0054] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the starting end of the pipe receiving groove of the loading platform 3 is provided with a limiting baffle 31, and the height of the limiting baffle 31 is greater than the depth of the pipe receiving groove.
[0055] Specifically, such as Figure 1-2 and Figure 4 As shown, the feeding and conveying mechanism can have the following structure, including:
[0056] Linear driver 51 is fixedly installed on the side of the loading platform 3 along the length direction of the loading platform 3. The linear driver 51 is provided with a driving slider.
[0057] The pipe moving push block 52 has one end fixedly connected to the drive slider, and the other end extends into the pipe receiving groove of the loading platform 3.
[0058] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the feeding and conveying mechanism also includes three photoelectric sensors 53, which are fixedly installed on the feeding platform 3. The feeding platform 3 is provided with a shielding plate that cooperates with the photoelectric sensors 53.
[0059] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 4-5 As shown, the linear actuator 51 is fixedly installed along the length of the loading platform 3, and drives the pipe moving pusher 52 to move within the pipe receiving groove via a drive slider. By setting a shielding plate on the loading platform 3 to cooperate with the photoelectric sensor 53, the position and movement status of the pipe can be monitored in real time. When the pipe passes through or reaches a specific position, the photoelectric sensor will immediately capture and feed back a signal.
[0060] The specific embodiments described above further illustrate the technical problems, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this utility model. It should be understood that the above descriptions are merely specific embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
