Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of pipe processing, and in particular to an automatic pipe feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] Inclined feeding is a common method for feeding pipes. This method uses an inclined conveyor track to allow the pipes to slide or roll smoothly along the slope to the designated position. Because the conveyor track is inclined, workers usually need to stand on a high platform to work. During feeding, a crane is used to lift the packaged pipes onto a horizontal frame at the end of the conveyor track. Then, the pipes are manually disassembled and arranged on the conveyor track for feeding.

[0003] However, the existing feeding device still requires manual arrangement. In order to facilitate the arrangement, the binding ropes are loosened. At this time, multiple bundles of pipes are placed on the conveyor track. When piled up, the pipes are prone to collapse under external force, causing the pipes to fall off the conveyor track, which is dangerous.

[0004] Therefore, we need an automatic pipe feeding device that can solve the problem that existing feeding devices require manual arrangement of pipes. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide an automatic pipe feeding device that can solve the problem that existing feeding devices require manual arrangement of pipes.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the embodiments of this application adopt the following technical solution: an automatic pipe feeding device, comprising: a feeding track; a feeding box, the feeding box being disposed on the right side of the feeding track, with an opening on the left side of the feeding box, the feeding box being used to place pipes; a lifting platform, the lifting platform being disposed inside the feeding box, the two ends of the lifting platform being slidably connected to the feeding box, the top of the lifting platform being inclined, multiple lifting platforms being provided, with gaps between the lifting platforms, and a hydraulic device being disposed at the bottom of the lifting platform, the hydraulic device being used to control the up and down movement of the lifting platform; and a feeding device, the feeding device comprising: a support plate, the support plate being disposed on the feeding box, the support plate being disposed at the opening Inside the opening, the two ends of the support plate are fixedly connected to the feeding box. The support plate is inclined and has round holes at both ends. The support plate is located within the gap of the lifting platform. A transmission assembly is mounted on the support plate. Multiple feeding plates are mounted on the transmission assembly and have an arc-shaped upper end, arranged along the transmission assembly. By placing the pipe into the feeding box and onto the lifting platform, the pipe rolls to the left into the feeding plate. The transmission assembly drives the feeding plate to rotate upwards, moving the pipe on the feeding plate upwards. When the pipe reaches the top of the support plate, it is placed on the feeding track for loading.

[0007] In the above technical solution, the embodiment of this application moves the outer side of the transmission motor support plate on the transmission assembly. When the pipe rolls into the feeding plate on the transmission chain, the transmission assembly drives the pipe to move upward. When the pipe reaches the top, it is placed on the feeding track and moves to the left along the feeding track. Simultaneously, the lifting platform is moved synchronously by a hydraulic device to facilitate the feeding plate collecting the pipe. Then, the control device limits the pipe's movement. When the control device rotates, the foremost pipe is moved to the left, while the remaining pipes are blocked by the control device. After the foremost pipe rolls into the subsequent conveying device, the control device rotates and repeats the movement in the same position. This solves the problem of existing feeding devices requiring manual arrangement of pipes, achieving the effect of automatic pipe arrangement and feeding.

[0008] Furthermore, according to an embodiment of this application, the feeding track is inclined, and the height of the feeding track decreases from right to left.

[0009] Furthermore, according to an embodiment of this application, the inner side of the feeding box is also provided with a groove, which is used to hold the two ends of the lifting platform.

[0010] Furthermore, according to an embodiment of this application, one end of the support plate is located inside the feeding box, and the other end is close to the right side of the feeding track.

[0011] Furthermore, according to an embodiment of this application, the transmission assembly is composed of a transmission gear and a transmission chain driving a motor.

[0012] Furthermore, according to an embodiment of this application, the transmission gear has two parts, each disposed within a circular hole in the support plate.

[0013] Furthermore, according to an embodiment of this application, a transmission chain is mounted on a transmission gear, and a feeding plate is mounted on the transmission chain.

[0014] Furthermore, according to an embodiment of this application, a transmission motor is provided on the outside of the transmission gear, which drives the transmission gear to rotate and controls the movement of the transmission chain.

[0015] Furthermore, according to an embodiment of this application, a control device is also provided on the feeding track to control the feeding speed.

[0016] To achieve the above objectives, this application also discloses a method for using an automatic pipe feeding device, comprising the following steps:

[0017] The hoisting process involves using a hydraulic device to control the lifting platform to move downwards, creating space for the material feeding box. Then, a crane is used to hoist the pipes into the material feeding box, and the binding ropes are untied.

[0018] The feeding process involves the transmission motor on the transmission assembly driving the transmission gear to rotate, which in turn drives the transmission chain to move along the outside of the support plate. At this time, the pipe moves towards the transmission chain under the action of the lifting platform. When the pipe rolls into the feeding plate on the transmission chain, it is driven to move upward through the transmission assembly. When the pipe moves to the top, it is placed on the feeding track and moves to the left along the feeding track.

[0019] The adjustment involves simultaneously controlling the lifting platform to move via a hydraulic device while feeding materials. Vibration facilitates the movement of the pipes to the left, making it easier for the feeding plate to collect the pipes.

[0020] During feeding, when the pipes are arranged sequentially on the feeding track, the control device limits the movement of the pipes. When the control device rotates, the first pipe will be moved to the left, and the remaining pipes will be blocked by the control device. After the first pipe rolls into the subsequent conveying device, the control device will rotate and repeat the movement in the original position, thereby controlling the feeding speed of the pipes.

[0021] Compared with existing technologies, this application has the following advantages: This application discloses an automatic pipe feeding device. The device uses a transmission motor support plate on a transmission assembly to move outwards. When the pipe rolls into the feeding plate on the transmission chain, the transmission assembly drives the pipe upwards. When the pipe reaches the top, it is placed on the feeding track and moves to the left along the track. Simultaneously, a hydraulic device synchronously controls the movement of a lifting platform to facilitate pipe collection by the feeding plate. Then, a control device limits the pipe's movement. When the control device rotates, the foremost pipe is moved to the left, while the remaining pipes are blocked. After the foremost pipe rolls into the subsequent conveying device, the control device rotates and repeats the movement in the same position. This solves the problem of existing feeding devices requiring manual pipe arrangement, achieving the effect of automatic pipe arrangement and feeding. Attached Figure Description

[0038] For purposes of simplicity and illustration, the principles of the embodiments are described primarily by way of example. In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that these embodiments may not be limited to these specific details in practice. In some instances, well-known methods and structures have not been described in detail to avoid unnecessarily obscuring these embodiments. Furthermore, all embodiments can be used in combination with each other.

[0039] Example 1:

[0040] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this application discloses an automatic pipe feeding device, including: a feeding track 1; a feeding box 2, which is located on the right side of the feeding track 1 and has an opening on its left side, for placing pipes; a lifting platform 3, which is located inside the feeding box 2, with both ends of the lifting platform 3 slidably connected to the feeding box 2, the top of the lifting platform 3 being inclined, and multiple lifting platforms 3 having gaps between them, with a hydraulic device 31 at the bottom of the lifting platform 3 for controlling the up and down movement of the lifting platform 3; and a feeding device 4, which includes: a support plate 41, which is located on the feeding box 2 and inside the opening, with both ends of the support plate 41 connected to the feeding box 2. Box 2 is fixedly connected, and support plate 41 is inclined. Support plate 41 has round holes at both ends and is located in the gap of lifting platform 3. Transmission assembly 42 is set on support plate 41. Feeding plate 43 is set on transmission assembly 42. Feeding plate 43 has an arc-shaped upper end and there are multiple feeding plates 43, which are arranged along transmission assembly 42. By putting the pipe into feeding box 2 and placing it on lifting platform 3, the pipe rolls to the left into feeding plate 43. Transmission assembly 42 drives feeding plate 43 to rotate upward, which drives the pipe on feeding plate 43 to move upward. When the pipe moves to the uppermost end of support plate 41, the pipe is placed on feeding track 1 for arrangement and feeding.

[0041] Specifically, the feeding track 1 is inclined, and the height of the feeding track 1 decreases from right to left.

[0042] Specifically, the inner side of the feeding box 2 is also provided with a groove, which is used to hold the two ends of the lifting platform 3.

[0043] Specifically, the lifting platform 3 is also equipped with a limit rod 32, which is located on one side of the lifting platform 3 and is perpendicular to the lifting platform 3. A groove is provided on the side of the lifting platform 3, and the bottom of the limit rod 32 extends into the groove. The bottom of the limit rod 32 is connected to a hydraulic push rod 33, which is installed in the groove of the lifting platform 3. The hydraulic push rod 33 controls the left and right movement of the limit rod 32. During use, the width of the feeding box 2 can be adjusted according to the quantity of pipes, facilitating the pipes to be carried away by the feeding plate 43. Furthermore, as the number of pipes in the feeding box 2 decreases, the hydraulic push rod 33 controls the limit rod 32 to move to the left, compressing the space for pipe movement and facilitating pipe collection. This achieves the effect of automatically arranging and feeding the pipes.

[0044] Specifically, one end of the support plate 41 is located inside the feeding box 2, and the other end is close to the right side of the feeding track 1.

[0045] Specifically, the transmission assembly 42 consists of a transmission gear 421, a transmission chain 422, and a transmission motor 423. There are two transmission gears 421, each housed within a circular hole in the support plate 41. The transmission chain 422 is mounted on the transmission gears 421, and a feeding plate 43 is mounted on the transmission chain 422. The transmission motor 423 is located outside the transmission gears 421, driving the transmission gears 421 to rotate and controlling the movement of the transmission chain 422.

[0046] Specifically, a control device 5 is also installed on the feeding track 1 to control the feeding speed. The control device 5 includes: a connecting seat 51, which is trapezoidal, and a mounting seat 52 is provided on the connecting seat 51. The mounting seat 52 is connected to the connecting seat 51 by screws. The mounting seat 52 is provided with mounting holes. There are two connecting seats 51 and mounting seats 52, which are located on both sides of the feeding track 1. A stop block 54, which is elliptical, has a circular groove on its upper right side. The right side of the stop block 54 has a larger arc. There are multiple stop blocks 54, which are located between the feeding tracks 1 and connected to each other by a rotating shaft 53. The two ends of the rotating shaft 53 are connected to the mounting seats 52. A second hydraulic push rod 55 is provided on the rotating shaft 53. The second hydraulic push rod 55 is located below the feeding track 1. By extending the second hydraulic push rod 55, the rotating shaft 53 is rotated to the left, thereby controlling the rotation of the stop block 54. During operation, hydraulic push rod 2 55 is in the retracted state, and stop block 54 is upright. The pipe on the right rolls into the circular groove. During unloading, by extending hydraulic push rod 2 55, the baffle rotates to the left, causing the pipe in the circular groove to move to the left. When the top of stop block 54 is positioned below the unloading track, the pipe rolls out of the circular groove and enters the next conveying device. The unloading process then repeats. The large arc on the right side of stop block 54 prevents subsequent pipes from overshooting it during rotation and allows subsequent pipes to rotate, thus ensuring contact with stop block 54 and preventing jamming. This also facilitates easier unloading. The control device 5 feeds the arranged pipes, preventing missed feeding by the feeding device 4, which would affect feeding efficiency and stability, achieving automatic pipe arrangement and feeding.

[0047] Specifically, this application utilizes the transmission motor 423 on the transmission assembly 42 to support the outer side of the support plate 41. When the pipe rolls into the feeding plate 43 on the transmission chain 422, the transmission assembly 42 drives the pipe to move upward. When the pipe reaches the top, it is placed on the feeding track 1 and moves to the left along the feeding track 1. Simultaneously, the hydraulic device 31 controls the movement of the lifting platform 3 to facilitate the collection of the pipe by the feeding plate 43. Then, the control device 5 limits the movement of the pipe. When the control device 5 rotates, the foremost pipe is moved to the left, while the remaining pipes are blocked by the control device 5. After the foremost pipe rolls into the subsequent conveying device, the control device 5 rotates and repeats the movement in the same position. This solves the problem of existing feeding devices requiring manual arrangement of pipes, achieving the effect of automatic pipe arrangement and feeding.

[0048] Example 2:

[0049] This application also discloses a method for using an automatic pipe feeding device, including the following steps:

[0050] The lifting process involves using a hydraulic device 31 to control the lifting platform 3 to move downwards, creating space for the feeding box 2 to store the pipes. Then, a crane is used to lift the pipes into the feeding box 2, and the binding ropes are untied.

[0051] Feeding is achieved by the transmission motor 423 on the transmission assembly 42 driving the transmission gear 421 to rotate, thereby driving the transmission chain 422 to move along the outside of the support plate 41. At this time, the pipe moves towards the transmission chain 422 under the action of the lifting platform 3. When the pipe rolls into the feeding plate 43 on the transmission chain 422, it is driven to move upward through the transmission assembly 42. When the pipe moves to the top, it is placed on the feeding track 1 and moves to the left along the feeding track 1.

[0052] Adjustment: While feeding, the lifting platform 3 is moved synchronously by the hydraulic device 31. Vibration facilitates the leftward movement of the pipe, making it easier for the feeding plate 43 to collect the pipe.

[0053] When the pipes are arranged sequentially on the feeding track 1, the control device 5 limits the movement of the pipes. When the control device 5 rotates, the first pipe will be moved to the left, and the remaining pipes will be blocked by the control device 5. After the first pipe rolls into the subsequent conveying device, the control device 5 will rotate and repeat the movement in the original position, thereby controlling the feeding speed of the pipes.

[0054] Although the illustrative specific embodiments of this application have been described above to enable those skilled in the art to understand this application, this application is not limited to the scope of the specific embodiments. For those skilled in the art, all applications utilizing the concept of this application are protected as long as various variations are within the spirit and scope of this application as defined and determined by the appended claims.
