[0033] As Figs. 1 to 5 shown, the present embodiment provides a steel pipe automatic stacking tool, which comprises a feeding conveying module 1, a counting output module 2, a steel pipe arrangement rack 3, a steel pipe transfer arm 4 and a stacking and bundling assembly 5. The feeding conveying module 1, the counting output module 2 and the steel pipe arrangement rack 3 are connected in sequence. The counting output module 2 comprises a downward inclined track 201 and an L-shaped turnover frame 202 arranged in sequence. The steel pipe arrangement rack 3 comprises a horizontal supporting plate 301 with a limiting baffle 302 at the end. The steel pipe transfer arm 4 is arranged between the steel pipe arrangement rack 3 and the stacking and bundling assembly 5.

[0034] In actual use, the finished steel pipe 10 is transported to the counting output module 2 through the feeding and conveying module 1, and then is clamped into the L-shaped turnover frame 202 one by one under the guidance of the downward inclined rail 201. Then the L-shaped turnover frame 202 outputs the steel pipes 10 one by one to the steel pipe arrangement frame 3. The steel pipe conveying arm 4 takes out the steel pipes 10 on the steel pipe arrangement frame 3 reaching the set number and transports them to the stacking and bundling assembly 5, so that the steel pipes 10 are stacked layer by layer in the stacking and bundling assembly 5. The finished stacked steel pipes 10 are bundled and then output.

[0035] The feeding and conveying module 1 comprises a circulating conveying belt, and the downward inclined rail 201 is arranged at the end of the circulating conveying belt. The circulating conveying belt is a commonly used conveying device on the market, which can stably convey the steel pipes and output them to the downward inclined rail 201.

[0036] The L-shaped turnover frame 202 comprises an L-shaped baffle, and the side surface of the L-shaped baffle is drivingly connected with a turnover motor. After the L-shaped baffle clamps the steel pipe 10, the L-shaped baffle is turned to the other side to make the steel pipe 10 enter the steel pipe arrangement frame 3, thereby realizing the output of the steel pipes 10 one by one.

[0037] The limiting baffle 302 is vertically arranged on the side of the horizontal supporting plate 301 opposite to the counting output module 2, and the surface of the limiting baffle 302 and the horizontal supporting plate 301 is covered with a buffer layer 6. The buffer layer 6 comprises a rubber pad plate, which is fixed to the surface of the limiting baffle 302 and the horizontal supporting plate 301 by adhesive. The buffer layer 6 can avoid the hard collision of the steel pipe 10 when falling onto the steel pipe arrangement frame 3, thereby avoiding the damage and deformation of the steel pipe 10 and the equipment.

[0038] The steel pipe conveying arm 4 comprises a two-axis moving arm 401 and a magnetic suction clamp jaw 402. The two-axis moving arm 401 comprises a lifting platform 4012 slidingly arranged on a translation guide rail 4011, and the magnetic suction clamp jaw 402 is vertically arranged at the bottom of the lifting platform 4012. Since the steel pipe 10 can be attracted by a magnet, the clamp jaw with electromagnetic suction function can ensure the conveying stability, and the two-axis moving arm 401 with translation and lifting actions has a mature and reliable structure and low equipment maintenance difficulty.

[0039] The magnetic suction clamp jaw 402 comprises an electromagnet plate 4021, a plurality of steel pipe sockets 4022 are arranged on the electromagnet plate 4021, and a pneumatic cylinder clamp jaw 7 is arranged at the front and rear ends of the electromagnet plate 4021. The steel pipe socket 4022 can clamp the steel pipe 10 to ensure accurate positioning, and the pneumatic cylinder clamp jaw 7 can clamp the arranged steel pipe 10 from the outside to avoid the shaking and deviation of the steel pipe 10 during transportation.

[0040] The palletizing and bundling assembly 5 comprises an openable and closable palletizing frame 501, a bundling machine 502 and a lifting conveying belt 503 arranged on both sides of the openable and closable palletizing frame 501, the lifting conveying belt 503 being perpendicular to the openable and closable palletizing frame 501, and the bundling machine 502 being arranged on the inner side of the openable and closable palletizing frame 501, the central axis of the bundling machine 502 coinciding with the central axis of the openable and closable palletizing frame 501.

[0041] The openable and closable palletizing frame 501 comprises a bottom bar 5011 and a slanted bar 5012 symmetrically hinged on both sides of the bottom bar 5011, and the slanted bar 5012 is drivingly connected with an opening and closing drive 5013, the bundling machine 502 comprises a bundling body 5021 and an upwardly open lower half ring 5022 connected with each other, and the left and right ends of the top end of the lower half ring 5022 are symmetrically provided with arc-shaped guide rings 5023, and the rear end of the arc-shaped guide ring 5023 is connected with a telescopic push rod 8.

[0042] During the palletizing process,

[0043] The slanted bars 5012 on both sides of the openable and closable palletizing frame 501 and the bottom bar 5011 form a pit, so that the steel pipes 10 can be stacked in the pit, and then the bundling machine 502 is started, the arc-shaped guide rings 5023 are closed under the driving of the telescopic push rod 8, and form a complete annular groove with the lower half ring 5022, so that the bundling body 5021 outputs the steel belt, which winds around the annular groove once and tightens the steel pipe stack. Since the bundling machine 502 is a prior art, only the upper half ring capable of being automatically opened and closed is designed in the embodiment, and thus the operation principle of the bundling machine 502 will not be described herein.

[0044] After the palletizing and bundling are completed, the lifting conveying belt 503 is lifted and supports the steel pipe stack, and the slanted bars 5012 are opened outward under the action of the opening and closing drive 5013, so that the lifting conveying belt 503 can be started and the steel pipe stack can be transported out.

[0045] The counting and outputting module 2, the steel pipe transferring arm 4 and the palletizing and bundling assembly 5 are all electrically connected with an industrial control module 9. The industrial control module 9 can use a commonly used industrial computer on the market, so as to uniformly set and control the operation sequence of each automatic device.

[0046] The above is a further detailed description of the utility model in combination with the specific preferred embodiments, and the specific implementation of the utility model cannot be limited to these descriptions, that is, any equivalent changes and modifications made within the scope of the present application shall still fall within the scope of the utility model.
