Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of pipe processing, and in particular to a pipe feeding machine. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the traditional manual feeding method is used in the pipe cutting process. This requires repeatedly placing single pipes on the cutting equipment, which is cumbersome, labor-intensive, inefficient, and poses safety hazards.

[0003] Existing pipe feeding machines, such as the pipe feeding rack receiving and feeding device disclosed in utility model patent application number 202420748117.7, mainly include rollers mounted on support rods. A feeding mechanism is set on the support rods, and the feeding mechanism moves left and right along the support rods via a slide rail mechanism. Multiple sets of buffers are set on the support rods, which are profiles. In use, when the pipe enters the receiving and feeding device, the pipe first falls onto the buffers for cushioning, and then falls onto the rollers. After the receiving and feeding device adjusts the height according to the pipe, the first and second grippers of the feeding mechanism clamp the pipe, and the belt drives the feeding mechanism to move forward, thus moving the pipe forward with the feeding mechanism.

[0004] However, most existing feeding machines cannot feed pipes of different sizes, which limits their applicability. Moreover, it is easy for two pipes to be fed at once, and existing pipe feeding machines are difficult to automatically correct errors. Utility Model Content

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a pipe feeding machine that can not only be adjusted according to actual needs to facilitate the feeding of pipes of different sizes, but also can self-correct to avoid feeding multiple pipes at once, thus improving the feeding accuracy.

[0006] This utility model discloses a pipe feeding machine, which includes a support mechanism, a sorting mechanism, an adjustment mechanism, three sets of lifting mechanisms, and a pushing mechanism. The sorting mechanism is installed on the support mechanism and drives the pipe feeding. The adjustment mechanism is installed on the support mechanism and facilitates adjustment according to different pipe sizes. All three sets of lifting mechanisms are installed on the adjustment mechanism and drive the pipes to be lifted. The pushing mechanism is installed on the support mechanism and avoids feeding two pipes at a time. Multiple pipes are placed on the sorting mechanism. The adjustment mechanism is adjusted to facilitate the feeding of pipes of different sizes. The lifting and sorting mechanism drives the pipe sorting. The pushing mechanism pushes the excess pipes back to the sorting mechanism, and then the lifting mechanism pushes the pipes for feeding.

[0007] Preferably, the support mechanism includes a bracket, three sets of sorting plates, three sets of preparation plates, three sets of feeding plates, and three sets of baffles. The bottom of the bracket is connected to the ground. All three sets of sorting plates are mounted on the bracket. The three sets of preparation plates are mounted on the three sets of sorting plates, the three sets of feeding plates are mounted on the three sets of preparation plates, and the three sets of baffles are mounted on the three sets of feeding plates. The sorting mechanism lifts the pipes onto the sorting plates. The width of the sorting plates is adjusted by an adjustment mechanism to facilitate feeding one pipe at a time. Then, the lifting mechanism lifts the pipes from the sorting plates onto the feeding plates. The baffles prevent the pipes from rolling off. The pipes on the feeding plates are easy for the equipment to grip and process.

[0008] Preferably, the sorting mechanism includes three sets of rollers, three sets of lifting straps, three sets of guide wheels, a drive shaft, and three sets of take-up rollers. The three sets of rollers are rotatably mounted on a bracket. One end of each of the three sets of lifting straps is fixedly mounted on one of the three sets of rollers. The three sets of guide wheels are rotatably mounted on three sorting plates, and the three sets of lifting straps are wound around the three sets of guide wheels. The drive shaft is rotatably mounted on the bracket and connected to a motor. The three sets of take-up rollers are mounted on the drive shaft and fixedly connected to the other end of each of the three sets of lifting straps. Multiple pipes are placed on the three sets of lifting straps. When loading is required, the drive shaft drives the three sets of take-up rollers to rotate, and the three sets of take-up rollers wind up the three sets of lifting straps, taut the straps, and the pipes are conveyed to the sorting plates. Then, the drive shaft flips to loosen the three sets of lifting straps, and excess pipes descend with the three sets of lifting straps.

[0009] Preferably, the adjustment mechanism includes a first drive shaft, three sets of first gears, six sets of first guide rails, three sets of first sliders, and three sets of first racks. The first drive shaft is rotatably mounted on a bracket and connected to a motor for transmission. All three sets of first gears are mounted on the first drive shaft. The six sets of first guide rails are respectively mounted on three sorting plates and three material preparation plates. The three sets of first sliders are respectively slidably mounted on the six sets of first guide rails. The three sets of first racks are respectively mounted on the three sets of first sliders and mesh with the three sets of first gears for transmission. The first drive shaft drives the three sets of first gears to rotate. The meshing of the three sets of first gears and the three sets of first racks drives the three sets of first sliders to slide along the six sets of first guide rails, adjusting the relative position of the first sliders and the sorting plates so that only one pipe can be supported on the sorting plate at a time.

[0010] Preferably, the lifting mechanism includes a first electric cylinder, a first lifting plate, a second electric cylinder, and a second lifting plate. The first electric cylinder is mounted on a first slider, the first lifting plate is mounted on the first electric cylinder, the second electric cylinder is mounted on the first slider, and the second lifting plate is mounted on the second electric cylinder. The three sets of lifting mechanisms are respectively mounted on three sets of first sliders. When the first electric cylinder is started, it pushes the first lifting plate to push the pipe from the sorting plate to the preparation plate. Then, the second electric cylinder is started, and it pushes the second lifting plate to lift the pipe from the preparation plate to the loading plate.

[0011] Preferably, the pushing mechanism includes a second drive shaft, three sets of second gears, three sets of second guide rails, three sets of second sliders, three sets of second racks, three sets of third electric cylinders, and three sets of push plates. The second drive shaft is rotatably mounted on a bracket and connected to a motor drive. The three sets of second gears are all mounted on the second drive shaft. The three sets of second guide rails are respectively mounted on the three sets of material preparation plates. The three sets of second sliders are respectively slidably mounted on the three sets of second guide rails. The three sets of second racks are respectively mounted on the three sets of second sliders. The three sets of third electric cylinders are respectively mounted on the three sets of second sliders. The three sets of push plates are respectively mounted on the three sets of third electric cylinders. The second drive shaft drives the three sets of second gears to rotate. The three sets of second gears mesh with the three sets of second racks. The three sets of second racks drive the three sets of second sliders to rise and fall along the three sets of second guide rails, thereby using pipes of different sizes to lift the second sliders and third electric cylinders to a specified height. When the pipes move to the sorting plate, the third electric cylinders are activated. The third electric cylinders push the push plates to push the excess pipes back onto the lifting belt, avoiding the situation of feeding two pipes at once.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: multiple pipes are placed on the sorting mechanism, the adjustment mechanism facilitates the feeding of pipes of different sizes, the lifting sorting mechanism drives the sorting of pipes, the pushing mechanism pushes the excess pipes back to the sorting mechanism, and then the lifting mechanism pushes the pipes to feed.
