Detailed Implementation

[0040] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit its scope.

[0041] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the intelligent monitoring device for copper pipe damage of this utility model includes:

[0042] Main base plate 1, independently fixed;

[0043] Monitoring mechanism 2 is installed on the main base plate 1 and is used to automatically detect the copper tube;

[0044] The pipe fixing mechanism 3 is set on the main body base plate 1 and is used to fix the copper pipe;

[0045] Two sets of feeding mechanisms 4 are both set on the main body base plate 1, and are used to lift and feed the copper tubes after the inspection is completed;

[0046] Monitoring agency 2 includes:

[0047] Two long guide rails 21 are both set on the main body base plate 1, and the two long guide rails 21 are parallel to each other;

[0048] The skateboard 22 has multiple monitoring sliders 23 at its bottom and slides on two long guide rails 21 via the multiple monitoring sliders 23.

[0049] Rack 24 is fixedly installed on the main body base plate 1;

[0050] The self-propelled motor 25 is fixedly mounted on the skateboard 22;

[0051] Gear 26 is fixedly connected to the power output end of self-propelled motor 25 and meshes with rack 24;

[0052] The monitoring frame 27 is fixedly installed on the slide plate 22;

[0053] Monitoring unit 28, fixedly installed on the monitoring unit 28, is used to monitor the copper pipe;

[0054] The working process and principle of the device are as follows: When the copper tube is transported to the device position, the pipe fixing mechanism 3 is activated to firmly fix the copper tube on the device, ensuring that the copper tube will not move or shake during the inspection process; the self-propelled motor 25 starts, and through the meshing of the gear 26 and the rack 24, it drives the slide plate 22 to slide smoothly along the long guide rail 21; the monitoring frame 27 moves together with the slide plate 22, driving the monitoring machine 28 to conduct a comprehensive and detailed monitoring of the surface of the copper tube and any possible internal defects; when the monitoring machine 28 detects a defect on the copper tube, it records the location, type, size, and other information of the defect in real time; when the copper tube inspection is completed, the pipe fixing mechanism 3 releases the copper tube; the two sets of unloading mechanisms 4 are activated to lift and transport the copper tube to the next process or storage area; through the self-propelled motor 25 and the gear and rack transmission mechanism, The system enables automated movement of the monitoring frame 27 and the monitoring machine 28, improving inspection efficiency. The monitoring machine 28 utilizes high-precision inspection equipment to perform comprehensive and accurate inspection of the copper tubes, ensuring accurate identification of defects. The pipe fixing mechanism 3 ensures the stability of the copper tubes during the inspection process, preventing movement or shaking from affecting the inspection results. After inspection, the pipe fixing mechanism 3 promptly releases the copper tubes, facilitating unloading by the unloading mechanism 4. The intelligent copper tube defect monitoring device effectively solves the problems of low efficiency and poor accuracy associated with traditional manual inspection or simple inspection equipment through its automated movement and inspection, fixing and release, and information recording and processing principles and processes. This device has high-precision and high-efficiency inspection capabilities, ensuring the stability and consistency of copper tube quality, and improving production efficiency and product quality.

[0055] The rack 24 is parallel to the long guide rail 21; the limiting block 29 can limit the movement range of the gear 26 and the slide plate 22; when the gear 26 contacts the limiting block 29, the gear 26 cannot continue to rotate due to the blocking effect of the limiting block 29, thus stopping the movement of the slide plate 22; ensuring that the slide plate 22 will not exceed the predetermined range during movement, thus ensuring the safety and stability of the device; the setting of the limiting block 29 avoids the risk of the slide plate 22 colliding or being damaged with other parts of the device due to excessive movement; ensuring the smoothness and accuracy of the monitoring mechanism 2 during movement, and improving detection efficiency and accuracy.

[0056] Two limiting blocks 29 are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the rack 24. The limiting blocks 29 can limit the movement range of the gear 26 and the slide plate 22. When the gear 26 contacts the limiting block 29, the gear 26 cannot continue to rotate due to the blocking effect of the limiting block 29, thus stopping the movement of the slide plate 22. This ensures that the slide plate 22 will not exceed the predetermined range during movement, thus guaranteeing the safety and stability of the device. The setting of the limiting blocks 29 avoids the risk of the slide plate 22 colliding or being damaged with other parts of the device due to excessive movement. This ensures the smoothness and accuracy of the monitoring mechanism 2 during movement, and improves the detection efficiency and accuracy.

[0057] like Figure 4 As shown, the pipe fitting fixing mechanism 3 includes:

[0058] Two pipe clamping cylinders 31 are arranged opposite to each other on the main body base plate 1;

[0059] Two bearing seats 32 are slidably mounted on the main body seat plate 1, and the sliding is controlled by the pipe clamping cylinder 31.

[0060] Two top blocks 33 are rotatably mounted on two bearing seats 32. The top blocks 33 are driven to rotate by a motor, which is equivalent to clamping the copper tube.

[0061] The working process and principle of the pipe fixing mechanism 3 are as follows: The pipe clamping cylinder 31 is in an inactive state, and the bearing seat 32 and the top block 33 are in a loose position; the copper pipe can be freely put into or taken out of the fixing mechanism; the operator puts the copper pipe into the space between the two bearing seats 32; at this time, the copper pipe is not clamped and can be moved slightly; the pipe clamping cylinder 31 is activated, generating clamping force; the clamping force is transmitted to the top block 33 through the bearing seat 32, causing them to begin to move closer to the copper pipe; when the top block 33 is tightly attached to the surface of the copper pipe, the copper pipe is firmly fixed in the fixing mechanism; at this time, the copper pipe cannot move or rotate, providing stable conditions for subsequent damage detection; the monitoring mechanism 2 begins to move along the long guide rail 21 to perform segment-by-segment detection on the copper pipe; the top block 33 is driven to rotate by a motor, which can directly rotate the copper pipe during the detection process, so that the circumference of the copper pipe can be monitored in all directions, improving the comprehensiveness of the monitoring.

[0062] It also includes two support slide rails 34, both of which are mounted on the main body base plate 1 and slide in conjunction with the bearing seat 32. The support slide rails 34 provide stable support for the bearing seat 32, ensuring its smoothness and accuracy during sliding. Even without the clamping force of the pipe clamping cylinder 31, the bearing seat 32 can maintain a stable position on the support slide rails 34. The design of the support slide rails 34 ensures that the bearing seat 32 moves along a predetermined trajectory during sliding. It prevents the bearing seat 32 from shifting or tilting during clamping or loosening, ensuring the uniform distribution of clamping force and the stable fixation of the copper tube. The support slide rails 34 provide stable support and guidance for the bearing seat 32, ensuring the smoothness and accuracy of the clamping process.

[0063] It also includes multiple idler brackets 35 and idlers 36. Each idler bracket 35 is mounted on the main body base plate 1, and each idler bracket 35 has an idler 36 rotatably mounted on it for supporting the copper tube. The idler 36 provides support for the copper tube through its circular surface, ensuring the stability of the copper tube during insertion, clamping, inspection, and release. The idler bracket 35 fixes the position of the idler 36 to prevent it from detaching or moving. The rotatability of the idler 36 allows the copper tube to roll or slide smoothly on it, reducing friction and improving operating efficiency. The arrangement of multiple idlers 36 allows for the handling of copper tubes of different lengths and diameters. The circular surface of the idler 36 reduces the contact area with the copper tube, thereby reducing the possibility of wear and scratches. The rotatability of the idler 36 also ensures that the copper tube is evenly stressed during movement, avoiding deformation or damage caused by excessive local pressure.

[0064] like Figure 5 As shown, the feeding mechanism 4 includes:

[0065] The feeding bracket 41 is fixedly installed on the main body base plate 1;

[0066] The feeding cylinder 42 is fixedly installed on the feeding bracket 41;

[0067] The lifting angle iron 43 is mounted on the material feeding bracket 41 and its lifting is controlled by the material feeding cylinder 42.

[0068] The working process and principle of the feeding mechanism 4 are as follows: The feeding cylinder 42 is in an inactive state, and the lifting angle iron 43 is in its lowest position, without interfering with the copper tube inspection process; after the monitoring mechanism 2 completes the inspection of the copper tube, the clamping cylinder 31 and the top block 33 in the pipe fixing mechanism 3 release the copper tube, allowing the copper tube to be in a free state; the feeding cylinder 42 is activated, generating an upward thrust, driving the lifting angle iron 43 to move upward; during the upward process, the top of the lifting angle iron 43 gradually contacts and lifts the copper tube, causing the copper tube to leave its original support position; when the copper tube reaches the predetermined position, the copper tube is smoothly placed in the target position, completing the feeding process; the lifting angle iron 43 should ensure that its top shape matches the shape of the copper tube to provide stable support and prevent the copper tube from slipping during the lifting process.

[0069] It also includes an auxiliary slide 44 and a guide rod 45. The auxiliary slide 44 is fixedly installed on the unloading bracket 41, and the guide rod 45 is fixedly connected to the lifting angle iron 43. The guide rod 45 and the auxiliary slide 44 are in sliding cooperation. The auxiliary slide 44 provides a stable sliding track, and the guide rod 45 slides within it, realizing the linear lifting and lowering of the lifting angle iron 43. Through the sliding cooperation between the guide rod 45 and the auxiliary slide 44, the stability of the lifting angle iron 43 during the lifting process is effectively enhanced. It prevents the lifting angle iron 43 from deviating or shaking due to uneven force or external interference, ensuring the smooth handling of the copper tube. The auxiliary slide 44 and the guide rod 45 enhance the stability and guidance of the lifting angle iron 43 during the lifting process through the sliding cooperation, ensuring the smooth lifting and lowering of the copper tube and improving the reliability and efficiency of the unloading mechanism.

[0070] The copper pipe damage point intelligent monitoring device of this utility model can be installed, connected or set in a common mechanical way, and can be implemented as long as it can achieve its beneficial effect.

[0071] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
