Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material feeding technology, and in particular to a material feeding device for an embedded intelligent vertical warehouse. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, longer pipes or bars need to be cut by sawing machines to meet specified length requirements, and the sawing process for pipes or bars is similar. The applicant previously applied for an intelligent warehousing and loading method for pipe or bar sawing, publication number CN116081163B. This loading method describes an intelligent warehousing and loading method in which pipes or bars are loaded onto the sawing host via a transfer device on a loading rack. This transfer device mainly uses magnetic blocks for transfer, therefore, a sufficiently high height is required above the loading rack to lift the pipes or bars. Thus, using this loading rack and loading device requires sufficient height in the lowest level of the vertical storage unit, reducing the area that can be used to store pipes or bars at the same height. Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a feeding device for an embedded intelligent vertical warehouse, which can meet the feeding of pipes or bars while further reducing the height.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of this utility model is: a feeding device for an embedded intelligent vertical warehouse, including a feeding rack, on which a feeding station and a feeding buffer station are provided. A supporting conveyor roller group is provided on the feeding station. A support platform for facilitating the support of a material frame is provided on the feeding rack at the feeding buffer station. A guide bracket is provided on the feeding rack between the feeding station and the feeding buffer station. The upper end of the guide bracket is configured as an inclined platform, and the lower end of the inclined platform is close to the feeding station. A limit switch is provided on the inclined platform. The limiting block divides the inclined platform into a buffer platform and a guide platform. The guide support is also equipped with a turning mechanism to transfer pipes or bars on the buffer platform to the guide platform. The loading rack is also equipped with a loading lifting mechanism to lift pipes or bars in the material frame on the support platform to the buffer platform. The loading rack is also equipped with a receiving device at the loading station. The receiving device is driven by a receiving lifting power device. When the receiving device is at its highest position, it is connected to the lower end of the guide platform. When it is at its lowest position, it is connected to the support conveyor roller group.
[0005] As a preferred embodiment, the feeding rack is also equipped with an inclined pushing mechanism for tilting and pushing the pipes or bars in the material frame, the inclined pushing mechanism pushing the pipes or bars to roll onto the feeding lifting mechanism.
[0006] As a preferred embodiment, the support platform is provided with several support rollers to facilitate the entry and exit of the material frame. The tilting pushing mechanism includes at least two tilting pushing blocks. One end of the tilting pushing block is hinged to the material guide bracket. The tilting pushing block is located in the hollow space of the material frame. The other end of the tilting pushing block is hinged to the loading frame with a tilting pushing cylinder.
[0007] As a preferred embodiment, the feeding and lifting mechanism includes several feeding and lifting blocks that are vertically slidably mounted on the material guide bracket. The top of each feeding and lifting block is set as an inclined surface. The several feeding and lifting blocks are arranged in a straight line to lift a pipe or rod. The feeding and lifting blocks are driven by a feeding and lifting power device.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment, the material turning mechanism includes several material turning plates, one end of which is hinged to the material guide bracket and lower than the inclined platform. A material turning drive shaft is also rotatably mounted on the material guide bracket. Several material turning drive arms are mounted on the material turning drive shaft. The material turning drive arms are hinged to the other end of the material turning plate. The material turning drive shaft is driven by a material turning power device.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment, the material guide support is further provided with a connecting tilting device that connects the feeding lifting block and the buffer platform. The connecting tilting device includes at least two connecting tilting plates. The middle part of the connecting tilting plate is rotatably mounted on the material guide support. The end of the connecting tilting plate near the material guide platform is the downstream end and is connected to the inclined platform of the material guide support. A connecting tilting power device is provided between the downstream end of the connecting tilting plate and the material guide support. The end of the connecting tilting plate away from the material guide platform is the upstream end, which extends into the upper part of the material frame and is connected to the feeding lifting block.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment, the receiving device includes several receiving lifting seats arranged in a straight line and installed on the loading rack. Each receiving lifting seat is provided with a support block for supporting the pipe or rod. Each receiving lifting seat is driven by a receiving lifting power device.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment, the material receiving and lifting power device includes a material receiving synchronous shaft rotatably mounted on the loading frame, a plurality of driving sprockets fixedly mounted on the material receiving synchronous shaft, a driven sprocket corresponding one-to-one with the driving sprockets on the loading frame, a material receiving drive chain installed between the driving sprockets and the driven sprockets, each material receiving drive chain being fixedly connected to the material receiving and lifting seat, and the material receiving synchronous shaft being driven by a material receiving drive motor.
[0012] After adopting the above technical solution, the effect of this utility model is as follows: A support platform for conveniently supporting the material frame is provided on the feeding rack at the feeding buffer station; a guide bracket is provided on the feeding rack between the feeding station and the feeding buffer station; the upper end of the guide bracket is set as an inclined platform; the lower end of the inclined platform is close to the feeding station; a limit block is provided on the inclined platform, which divides the inclined platform into a buffer platform and a guide platform; a flipping mechanism is also provided on the guide bracket to transfer the pipes or bars on the buffer platform to the guide platform; a feeding lifting mechanism is also provided on the feeding rack to lift the pipes or bars in the material frame on the support platform to the buffer platform; a receiving device is also installed on the feeding rack at the feeding station, driven by a receiving lifting power device; when the receiving device is at its highest position, it is close to the lower end of the guide platform. The connection is made at the lowest position, engaging with the support conveyor roller group. Therefore, in actual operation, after the material frame is fed into the loading buffer station, the loading lifting mechanism lifts the pipes or bars in the material frame to the buffer platform. Then, the flipping mechanism flips the pipes and bars on the buffer platform to the guide platform. The guide platform tilts, so the pipes or bars roll down to the receiving device. The receiving device then descends, placing the pipes or bars on the support conveyor roller group for transport to the sawing host. Therefore, this loading device does not require space above the loading rack. The pipes or bars are sawed and loaded through lifting, flipping, rolling, and axial conveying. In this way, the loading device requires little space when embedded at the bottom of the vertical storage unit, thus occupying less space in the vertical storage unit. Under the same height, the vertical storage unit has more space for storage. Therefore, this loading device can meet the loading requirements of embedded intelligent vertical storage units while reducing the height.
[0013] Furthermore, the feeding rack is also equipped with an inclined pushing mechanism for tilting and pushing the pipes or bars in the material frame. The inclined pushing mechanism pushes the pipes or bars to roll onto the feeding lifting mechanism. The support platform is equipped with several support rollers to facilitate the entry and exit of the material frame. The inclined pushing mechanism includes at least two inclined pushing blocks. One end of the inclined pushing block is hinged to the guide bracket. The inclined pushing block is located in the hollow space of the material frame. The other end of the inclined pushing block is hinged to the feeding rack with an inclined pushing cylinder. Therefore, the inclined pushing mechanism can tilt and push the pipes in the material frame onto the feeding lifting mechanism, ensuring that the feeding lifting mechanism can lift the pipes every time it operates.
[0014] Furthermore, the guide support is also equipped with a connecting tilting device that connects the feeding lifting block and the buffer platform. This connecting tilting device includes at least two connecting tilting plates. The middle of each connecting tilting plate is rotatably mounted on the guide support. The end of the connecting tilting plate closest to the guide platform is the downstream end and connects to the inclined platform of the guide support. A connecting tilting power device is provided between the downstream end of the connecting tilting plate and the guide support. The end of the connecting tilting plate furthest from the guide platform is the upstream end, extending above the material frame and connecting with the feeding lifting block. Since there will inevitably be a certain gap between the material frame and the guide support when the material frame is placed on the support platform, the pipe or bar may get stuck in this gap when the feeding lifting mechanism is lifting. Therefore, by using the connecting tilting plate, which extends above the material frame, it better connects with the feeding lifting block, ensuring that the lifted pipe or bar can accurately enter the buffer platform.

[0022] The present invention will be further described in detail below through specific embodiments.
[0023] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, an embedded intelligent vertical storage unit's loading device includes a loading rack 1, which is a frame structure fixed by welding profiles. The loading rack 1 is equipped with a loading station B and a loading buffer station A. A support conveyor roller group 12 is installed at loading station B, and a support platform 20 is installed on loading rack 1 at loading buffer station A to facilitate the support of material frames 3. Loading station B corresponds to the sawing host, while loading buffer station A facilitates the entry of material frames 3. The support platform 20 is equipped with several support rollers to facilitate the entry and exit of material frames 3, making the entry and exit of material frames 3 smoother.
[0024] A guide support 2 is provided on the feeding rack 1 between the feeding station B and the feeding buffer station A. The upper end of the guide support 2 is set as an inclined platform, and the lower end of the inclined platform is close to the feeding station B. A limit block 8 is provided on the inclined platform, which divides the inclined platform into a buffer platform 21 and a guide platform 22. The guide support 2 is also provided with a flipping mechanism to transfer the pipes or bars on the buffer platform 21 to the guide platform 22.
[0025] The material turning mechanism includes several material turning plates 9. One end of each material turning plate 9 is hinged to the material guide bracket 2 and is lower than the inclined platform. A material turning drive shaft 10 is rotatably mounted on the material guide bracket 2. Several material turning drive arms 11 are mounted on the material turning drive shaft 10. Each material turning drive arm 11 is hinged to the other end of a material turning plate 9 via a connecting rod. The material turning drive shaft 10 is driven by a material turning power device 24. In this embodiment, the material turning power device 24 indirectly drives the material turning drive shaft 10 to deflect. The material turning power device 24 is a cylinder. One end of the cylinder is hinged to the material guide bracket 2, and the other end is hinged to the material turning drive arm 11. The cylinder drives the material turning drive arm 11 to deflect, which in turn drives the entire material turning drive shaft 10 to deflect. In this way, the other material turning drive arms 11 also deflect, thereby achieving synchronous movement of all the material turning plates 9. When the tipping plate 9 deflects, it will be higher than the inclined platform, thus supporting the pipe or bar to flip over the limit block 8 and fall onto the guide platform 22.
[0026] The loading rack 1 is also equipped with a loading lifting mechanism that lifts the pipes or bars in the material frame 3 on the support platform 20 to the buffer platform 21.
[0027] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 As shown, the feeding and lifting mechanism includes several feeding and lifting blocks 14 vertically slidably mounted on the material guide bracket 2. The top of each feeding and lifting block 14 is set as an inclined surface. The several feeding and lifting blocks 14 are arranged in a straight line to lift a pipe or rod. The feeding and lifting blocks 14 are driven by a feeding and lifting power device. Wherein, as... Figure 4As shown, the feeding and lifting power device includes a feeding synchronous shaft 7, on which several feeding drive sprockets are fixed. Several feeding driven sprockets are rotatably mounted on the material guide bracket 2. A feeding chain 13 is engaged between the feeding drive sprockets and the feeding driven sprockets. The feeding lifting block 14 is fixed to the feeding chain 13. The feeding synchronous shaft 7 is driven to rotate in both directions by the feeding motor 6. In this way, the synchronous lifting of the feeding lifting block 14 can be realized to complete the lifting of the pipe or bar.
[0028] The feeding rack 1 is also equipped with a receiving device at the feeding station B. The receiving device is driven by a receiving lifting power device. When the receiving device is at its highest position, it is connected to the lower end of the guiding platform 22. When the receiving device is at its lowest position, it is connected to the support conveyor roller group 12.
[0029] The receiving device includes several receiving lifting seats 23 arranged in a straight line and installed on the loading rack 1. Each receiving lifting seat is provided with a support block 17 for supporting pipes or rods. Each support block 17 is provided with a V-shaped support groove to facilitate the support of pipes or rods. Each receiving lifting seat 23 is driven by a receiving lifting power device.
[0030] In this embodiment, the material receiving and lifting power device includes a material receiving synchronous shaft 15 rotatably mounted on the loading rack 1. Several drive sprockets are fixedly mounted on the material receiving synchronous shaft 15. The loading rack 1 is provided with driven sprockets corresponding to the drive sprockets one-to-one. A material receiving drive chain 16 is installed between the drive sprockets and the driven sprockets. Each material receiving drive chain 16 is fixedly connected to the material receiving lifting seat 23. The material receiving synchronous shaft 15 is driven by a material receiving drive motor. Thus, when the material receiving synchronous shaft 15 is driven to rotate forward and backward by the material receiving drive motor, the material receiving drive chain 16 will run forward and backward, thereby driving the material receiving lifting seat 23 to rise or fall. In this way, the support block 17 will rise synchronously to receive the pipes rolling down from the guide platform 22 and then fall. At this time, as long as the support block 17 is lower than the support conveyor roller group 12, the pipes will be supported by the support conveyor roller group 12, thus facilitating their delivery to the sawing machine.
[0031] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the feeding rack 1 is also equipped with an inclined pushing mechanism for tilting and pushing the pipes or bars in the material frame 3. The inclined pushing mechanism pushes the pipes or bars to roll onto the feeding lifting mechanism. The inclined pushing mechanism can tilt and push the pipes or bars in the material frame 3, thereby causing the pipes or plates to roll onto the feeding lifting mechanism, ensuring that the feeding lifting mechanism can lift one pipe at a time.
[0032] The tilting jacking mechanism includes at least two tilting jacking blocks 4. One end of each tilting jacking block 4 is hinged to the material guide bracket 2, and the tilting jacking block 4 is located within the hollow space of the material frame 3. The other end of each tilting jacking block 4 is hinged to the loading frame 1 by a tilting jacking cylinder 5. When the tilting jacking cylinder 5 drives the tilting jacking block 4 to deflect, the tilting jacking block 4 will be lower or higher than the bottom of the material frame 3. When it is higher than the bottom of the material frame 3, the pipes or bars inside the material frame 3 will roll toward the upward material lifting mechanism.
[0033] The material guide bracket 2 is also equipped with a connecting tilting device that connects the feeding lifting block 14 and the buffer platform 21. The connecting tilting device includes at least two connecting tilting plates 18. The middle part of the connecting tilting plate 18 is rotatably mounted on the material guide bracket 2. The end of the connecting tilting plate 18 near the material guide platform 22 is the downstream end and is connected to the inclined platform of the material guide bracket 2. A connecting tilting power device 19 is provided between the downstream end of the connecting tilting plate 18 and the material guide bracket 2. The connecting tilting power device 19 is preferably a cylinder. The cylinder drives the connecting tilting plate 18 to deflect. The end of the connecting tilting plate 18 away from the material guide platform 22 is the upstream end, which extends into the upper part of the material frame 3 and is connected to the feeding lifting block 14. The connecting flip plate 18 can extend above the material frame 3, thus covering the gap between the material frame 3 and the guide bracket 2, making the rolling of pipes or plates smoother. When the feeding lifting block 14 is lifted, the connecting flip plate 18 presses on the upper end of the material frame 3, and the pipes or bars will fall onto the connecting flip plate 18. Then, the connecting flip power device 19 can flip the pipes or plates onto the buffer platform 21.
[0034] The above-described embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model. Any modifications and alterations to the technical solution of the present utility model without departing from its design spirit shall fall within the protection scope defined by the claims of the present utility model.
