Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipe segment transportation technology, specifically a pipe flange type longitudinal pipe segment transportation system. Background Technology

[0002] Pipe segments are the basic units that make up the entire conveying system. Depending on the properties of the materials being conveyed, the material, size, and design of pipe segments can vary. Common pipe segment materials include carbon steel, stainless steel, PVC, and PE. On the intelligent prefabrication production line, various pipe segments are produced according to production needs. One type is a pipe segment with flanges at both ends. On the intelligent production line, it is necessary to remove this type of welded pipe segment from the production line. At this time, it is necessary to work in conjunction with the gantry robot. The pipe segment with flanges at both ends is loaded onto the gantry robot and moved by the gantry robot to the unloading material conveyor belt. The material is then transported smoothly over a long distance to the designated position and flipped into the buffer station rack for use in the next process.

[0003] When pipe sections with flanges at both ends are removed from the unloading conveyor belt, they are usually lifted down by workers using hoisting equipment and then transferred using other equipment. This means that the longitudinal conveying system for pipe flanges requires manual operation for unloading, which is difficult to integrate with intelligent production lines, resulting in low unloading efficiency. Therefore, we propose a longitudinal conveying system for pipe flanges. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] Please see Figures 1-8This utility model provides a technical solution: a longitudinal conveying system for pipe flange type pipe segments, including a logistics support 1 and a chain drive belt 101. The chain drive belt 101 is installed on the inner side of the logistics support 1. A gantry robot 102 is installed above one end of the chain drive belt 101. A drive motor 103 is installed at the end of the chain drive belt 101 away from the gantry robot 102. A buffer station frame 104 is connected to one side of the logistics support 1. One side of the buffer station frame 104 is fixed to a support plate 105. The upper side of the support plate 105 is connected to one side of a guide rail 106. A transverse cylinder 107 is installed on the lower side of the guide rail 106. A movable plate 108 is installed on the side of the guide rail 106 near the transverse cylinder 107. The movable plate 108 is connected to the output end of the transverse cylinder 107. A connecting frame 109 is connected to the upper side of the movable plate 108. The connecting frame 109 is movably connected to one side of the unloading lever 110 through a rotating shaft seat. The side of the unloading lever 110 near the connecting frame 109 is movably connected to the output end of the lifting cylinder 111 through a rotating shaft seat. The upper side of the chain drive belt 101 is connected to the V-shaped plate 2 by bolts. A pipe flange is provided on the upper side of the V-shaped plate 2. The pipe 201 has a V-shaped plate 2 with a first placement groove 3 inside. Displacement grooves 301 are respectively formed on both sides of the V-shaped plate 2 near the first placement groove 3. The first placement groove 3 is slidably connected to the connecting rod on the lower side of the arc plate frame 302. Slider blocks 303 are fixed on both sides of the connecting rod of the arc plate frame 302. A sliding groove 304 is formed on the side of the V-shaped plate 2 near the slider 303, and the slider 303 is slidably connected to the sliding groove 304. A second placement groove 305 is formed inside the connecting rod of the arc plate frame 302, and a connecting spring 306 is provided inside the second placement groove 305. Both ends are connected to the first mounting groove 3 and the second mounting groove 305 respectively. The side of the first arc plate frame 302 near the slider 303 is fixed with a toothed plate 307. The toothed plate 307 is in contact with the toothed disk 308. The toothed disk 308 is movably connected to the V-shaped plate 2 through a bearing. The outer side of the toothed disk 308 is fixed to one end of the second arc plate frame 309. The second arc plate frame 309 is slidably connected to the displacement groove 301. The inner side of the second arc plate frame 309 is bonded with a connecting pad 310. The slider 303 matches the sliding groove 304. The toothed plate 307 and the toothed disk 308 are meshed and connected. The connecting pad 310 is made of rubber.

[0027] In specific implementation, according to Figures 1-8When the longitudinal conveying system for the flanged pipe section is being loaded, the gantry robot 102 is activated, causing it to grab the flanged pipe 201 and place it above the longitudinal conveying system. The gantry robot 102 then descends, placing the flanged pipe 201 on the upper side of the V-shaped plate 2, causing it to press down on the arc plate frame 302. At this time, the arc plate frame 302 moves downwards along the inner side of the mounting groove 3, compressing the connecting spring 306 and causing it to contract. As the arc plate frame 302 moves downwards, it drives the slider 303 to slide along the slide groove 304. The matching of the slider 303 and the slide groove 304 prevents the arc plate frame 302 from wobbling or shifting during movement. Furthermore, the downward movement of the arc plate frame 302 also drives the toothed plate. 307 moves downward, meshing with the toothed plate 307 and the toothed disc 308, causing the toothed plate 307 to rotate. At this time, the two toothed plates 307 rotate in opposite directions, causing them to drive the arc plate frame 309 to rotate. This brings the two arc plate frames 309 closer together, squeezing and clamping the pipe flange type pipe 201. The connecting gasket 310, made of rubber, enhances the friction between the arc plate frame 309 and the pipe flange type pipe 201. The auxiliary clamping of the pipe flange type pipe 201 by the arc plate frame 309 facilitates the quick and stable placement of the pipe flange type pipe 201 on the upper side of the V-shaped plate 2, achieving automatic feeding. At this point, the drive motor 103 is started, causing it to drive the chain... The chain drive belt 101 moves, and the V-shaped plate 2 drives the flange-type pipe 201 to move together on the chain drive belt 101, controlling the flange-type pipe 201 to move to the designated position of the buffer station frame 104. At this time, the transverse cylinder 107 is activated, causing the output end of the transverse cylinder 107 to push the moving plate 108 to slide along the guide rail 106, causing the guide rail 106 to move the unloading lever 110 to below the flange-type pipe 201. Then, the lifting cylinder 111 is activated, causing the lifting cylinder 111 to push one end of the unloading lever 110 to lift. At this time, the unloading lever 110 lifts the flange-type pipe 201 upward. At this time, the arc plate frame 302 is released from the pressure of the flange-type pipe 201, allowing the connecting spring 306 to extend, so that... The connecting spring 306 pushes the arc plate frame 302 upward, causing the arc plate frame 302 to rotate through the toothed plate 307 and drive the toothed disc 308 to rotate, thereby causing the arc plate frame 309 to unfold on both sides of the pipe flange type pipe 201. At this time, the pipe flange type pipe 201 can fall into the upper side of the buffer station frame 104 along the unloading lever 110. The lifting cylinder 111 and the transverse cylinder 107 are activated again, causing the output end of the lifting cylinder 111 to drive the unloading lever 110 to level off and the moving plate 108 to return to its original position, thereby realizing the automatic unloading of the pipe flange type pipe 201. By cooperating with the intelligent pipe production line, the longitudinal conveying system of this pipe flange type pipe section can realize the automatic loading and unloading of the pipe flange type pipe 201, thereby improving the conveying efficiency of the pipe section.

[0028] In summary, when the longitudinal conveying system for pipe flanges is feeding, the truss robot 102 is activated, placing the pipe flange 201 on the upper side of the V-shaped plate 2. The pipe flange 201 presses down on the first arc plate frame 302, causing the two second arc plate frames 309 to come close to each other and squeeze and clamp the pipe flange 201, achieving automatic feeding. The pipe flange 201 is then moved to the designated position on the buffer station frame 104. At this time, the transverse cylinder 107 and the lifting cylinder 111 are activated, causing the unloading lever 110 to lift the pipe flange 201 upward. At this time, the second arc plate frame 309 unfolds on both sides of the pipe flange 201, allowing the pipe flange 201 to fall along the unloading lever 110 into the upper side of the buffer station frame 104, thereby achieving automatic unloading of the pipe flange 201 and improving the conveying efficiency of the pipe segment. The contents not described in detail in this specification are existing technologies known to those skilled in the art.

[0029] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
