[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.

[0019] A loading and unloading mechanism for pipe cleaning equipment, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, it includes a support 2 and a loading / unloading assembly 1 and a conveying assembly 4 mounted on the support 2; the loading / unloading assembly 1 is used to move the pipe to the next station of the conveying assembly 4;

[0020] The loading and unloading assembly 1 includes at least two transfer assemblies 12 and a first drive assembly 13 that provides power to the transfer assemblies 12. The transfer assemblies 12 are mounted on the support 2. Each transfer assembly 12 includes a transfer plate 121 and a first drive shaft 122. Two first drive shafts 122 are arranged in parallel and are rotatably mounted on the support 2. The upper surface of the transfer plate 121 has a plurality of recessed grooves 123. A connecting block 124 is provided on the first drive shaft 122 and is rotatably connected to the transfer plate 121. The first drive shaft 122 is connected to the first drive assembly 13. A material rack 14 is provided on the loading side of the support 2 for placing pipes, and the pipes on the material rack 14 are moved by the transfer assemblies 12.

[0021] In this embodiment, as Figures 1-5 As shown, the transfer component 12 moves the pipe at the current station of the transfer component 4 to the next station, and the station of the transfer component 4 corresponds to the cleaning station of the cleaning equipment; then the transfer component 4 sends the pipe into the cleaning equipment.

[0022] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, two transfer plates 121 are provided, respectively located at both ends of the first drive shaft 122. Preferably, the two transfer plates 121 are staggered. When the first drive shaft 122 rotates, it drives the transfer plates 121 to rotate via the connecting block 124. When one transfer plate 121 rotates to the high position, the other transfer plate 121 rotates to the low position. The transfer plate 121 in the high position continues to rotate, placing the pipe on the transmission assembly 4, while the other transfer plate 121 lifts the pipe. The above actions are repeated to move the pipe.

[0023] In the above embodiments, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, a shaft is installed on the connecting block 124, and the shaft is rotatably connected to the transfer plate 121 through a bearing.

[0024] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1-5As shown, the first drive assembly 13 includes a second drive shaft 131, a first chain (not shown), a second chain 132, a first gearbox 133, and a first motor 134. The second drive shaft 131 is rotatably mounted on the bracket 2. The first motor 134 is connected to the first gearbox 133. A first drive wheel 135 is mounted on the first gearbox 133 and the second drive shaft 131, and the first drive wheel 135 is connected by the first chain. The driving force of the first motor 134 is then transmitted to the second drive shaft 131 via the first drive wheel 135 and the first chain. The second chain 132 connects the first drive shaft 122 and the second drive shaft 131, transmitting power from the second drive shaft 131 to the first drive shaft 122. Preferably, both first drive shafts 122 are equipped with drive wheels, allowing power to be transmitted simultaneously to both first drive shafts 122 via the second drive shaft 131 to ensure synchronous operation. The first drive wheel 135 is a gear.

[0025] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the transmission assembly 4 includes several third drive shafts 41, third chains 42, second reduction gearboxes 45, and second motors 46. The third drive shafts 41 are arranged in the loading / unloading mechanism 1, the external cleaning mechanism 2, and the internal cleaning mechanism 3. Transmission wheels 43 are mounted on the third drive shafts 41. The transmission wheels 43 on the third drive shafts 41 are connected to each other, and the second reduction gearbox is connected to the third drive shafts 41 via several third chains 42. Several feeding wheels 44 are mounted on the third drive shafts 41, and guide grooves 441 are arranged around the feeding wheels 44. Through this structure, the third drive shafts 41 in the loading / unloading mechanism 1, the external cleaning mechanism 2, and the internal cleaning mechanism 3 rotate synchronously, and only one set of second reduction gearboxes and second motors is used. At the support 2, because a transfer plate 121 is provided, directly connecting adjacent third drive shafts 41 would interfere with the transfer plate 121. Therefore, the support 2 is also equipped with a transfer wheel 43 to avoid the movement range of the transfer plate 121.

[0026] When using this utility model, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the feeding mechanism feeds the pipes one by one into the material rack 14. The loading and unloading assembly 1 moves the pipes in the material rack 14 into the first column of guide troughs 441, and feeds the pipes in the other columns of guide troughs 441 into the next column of guide troughs 441. The second motor 46 drives the second reduction gearbox 45 to drive the third drive shaft 41 to rotate via the third chain 42, thereby causing the pipes to move horizontally.

[0027] In this embodiment, 12 sets of feeding rollers 44 are provided. Therefore, the 12 sets of feeding rollers correspond to 12 cleaning lines, dividing the 12 cleaning lines into two groups: the first to sixth cleaning lines are for preliminary cleaning, and the seventh to twelfth lines are for deep cleaning. The first to sixth lines are moved into the pipes by the transfer component, and the pipes are fed into the cleaning equipment by the transmission component 4. After the preliminary cleaning is completed, the pipes on the first to sixth columns of feeding rollers 44 are moved to the seventh to twelfth columns of feeding rollers 44. Then, the uncleaned pipes are added to the first to sixth columns of feeding rollers 44. Then, the uncleaned pipes are subjected to preliminary cleaning, and the pipes that have completed preliminary cleaning are subjected to deep cleaning. It can be seen that the above embodiment greatly improves the cleaning efficiency.

[0028] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of implementation of the present utility model. Any modifications or equivalent substitutions to the present utility model without departing from the spirit and scope thereof should be covered within the protection scope of the claims of the present utility model.
