Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipe processing equipment technology, and in particular to a round pipe sorting machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of round tube processing, the round tube sorting process is a crucial step. Its purpose is to screen round tubes that meet straightness requirements and discard those that do not, ensuring that all round tubes entering subsequent processing stages meet predetermined quality requirements. However, traditional round tube sorting methods primarily rely on manual operation and laser inspection technology. In this method, each round tube must be individually passed through a laser inspection device for straightness measurement. After the inspection, operators must manually determine whether the straightness of each round tube meets the standard based on the data provided by the laser inspection device, and then manually sort it accordingly. This manual inspection and sorting process is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also inefficient and easily affected by human factors, making it difficult to guarantee sorting efficiency and accuracy, and thus failing to meet the high-efficiency production demands of round tubes. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a round tube sorting machine with efficient automatic inspection and sorting functions. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a round tube sorting machine that solves the problem of low production efficiency caused by traditional manual inspection and sorting methods.

[0004] The present invention provides the following technical solution: a round tube sorting machine, comprising a frame, a feeding device, a detection device and a sorting device disposed on the frame;

[0005] The feeding device includes a material box and a feeding mechanism, the feeding mechanism being used to push the tubes in the material box one by one into the detection device;

[0006] The detection device includes a feeding mechanism and a detection mechanism. The feeding mechanism includes a support frame fixed to the machine frame and a feeding turntable rotatably connected to the support frame. The feeding turntable has multiple receiving ports on its edge. The receiving ports are used to receive the tube material pushed out by the feeding mechanism. The rotation of the feeding turntable can drive the tube material to move axially around the feeding turntable, so that the tube material passes through the detection mechanism and falls into the sorting device.

[0007] The sorting device includes a first sorting box, a second sorting box, and a first sorting mechanism. The first sorting mechanism includes a first sorting plate hinged between the first sorting box and the second sorting box, and a first sorting driver. The first sorting plate is used to pick up tubes, and the first sorting driver is electrically connected to the detection mechanism to drive the first sorting plate to swing so that the tubes roll into the first sorting box or the second sorting box.

[0008] As described above, a round tube sorting machine further includes a third sorting box and a second sorting mechanism. The second sorting mechanism includes a second sorting plate hinged between the second and third sorting boxes and a second sorting driver. The second sorting plate is used to catch or block tubes falling from the first sorting plate into the second sorting box. The second sorting driver is electrically connected to the detection mechanism and is used to drive the second sorting plate to swing. When the second sorting plate catches the tube, the tube rolls into the second sorting box. When the second sorting plate blocks the tube, the tube rolls into the third sorting box.

[0009] As described above, the round tube sorting machine further includes an inclined discharge baffle. When the feed turntable drives the tube material through the detection mechanism, the discharge baffle is used to abut the tube material so that the tube material leaves the receiving port and rolls onto the first sorting plate.

[0010] As described above, in a round tube sorting machine, the detection mechanism includes a detector fixed to the top of the support frame. The rotation axis of the feed turntable is parallel to the horizontal plane. When the rotation of the feed turntable moves the tube to the top of the feed turntable, the detector is positioned facing the tube on both sides.

[0011] In the circular tube sorting machine described above, the feed turntables are arranged in pairs that are parallel to each other, and the receiving ports located opposite each other on each feed turntable are used to simultaneously receive the same tube material.

[0012] As described above, in a round tube sorting machine, the detection mechanism further includes a self-rotating drive mounted on the support frame. The self-rotating drive includes a friction track and a pair of rotating wheels. The friction track is respectively sleeved on the rotating wheels. The rotating wheels rotate in the same direction to drive the friction track in cyclic motion. When the rotation of the feed turntable causes the tube to move to the top of the feed turntable, the friction track abuts against the tube to drive the tube to rotate around its axis.

[0013] As described above, in a round tube sorting machine, the support frame is provided with oppositely arranged auxiliary frame wheels, the self-rotating drive is located between opposite feed turntables, and the auxiliary frame wheels are respectively arranged on both sides of the opposite feed turntables. When the rotation of the feed turntable drives the tube to move to the top of the feed turntable, the auxiliary frame wheels are mounted on the end of the tube.

[0014] As described above, in a circular tube sorting machine, the support frame is provided with opposing limiting baffles, which are respectively located on both sides of the opposite feed turntable, and are used to restrict the axial movement of the tube material when it is located at the receiving port.

[0015] As described above, in a round tube sorting machine, the feeding mechanism includes a feeding component that is movably connected to the bottom of the material box, and a feeding driver for driving the feeding component to rise and fall. When the feeding component descends, the tube material located in the material box rolls to the top of the feeding component. When the feeding component rises, it drives the tube material to rise to the edge of the opening of the material box, so that the tube material leaves the material box and falls into the receiving port.

[0016] In the circular tube sorting machine described above, the top of the feeding component is inclined toward the receiving port, and the opening of the material box is inclined toward the receiving port near the edge of the feeding component.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0018] This utility model of a round tube sorting machine employs a combination of a feeding device, a detection device, and a sorting device to achieve efficient sorting of tube materials. The feeding device feeds tube materials one by one into the detection device, which includes a material conveying mechanism and a detection mechanism. The material conveying mechanism uses a rotating material conveying turntable to carry the tube materials and move them around the axial direction of the turntable. This allows tube materials located at multiple receiving ports to pass through the detection mechanism sequentially to complete the straightness detection. Based on the detection results, the detection mechanism sends a corresponding signal to the first sorting mechanism in the sorting device. This causes the first sorting driver to drive the first sorting plate to swing. When the corresponding tube material falls from the material conveying mechanism into the sorting device, it will roll into the first sorting box or the second sorting box depending on the swing angle of the first sorting plate. The entire process achieves automatic detection and sorting of tube materials without the need for additional manual operation, greatly improving the production efficiency of round tubes.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, and not all of them. 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] Example 1: Please refer to the appendix Figure 1 To be continued Figure 5This embodiment provides a round tube sorting machine, characterized in that it includes a frame 1, a feeding device 2, a detection device 3, and a sorting device 4 mounted on the frame 1; the feeding device 2 includes a material box 21 and a feeding mechanism 22, the feeding mechanism 22 being used to push the tubes in the material box 21 one by one into the detection device 3; the detection device 3 includes a conveying mechanism 31 and a detection mechanism 32, the conveying mechanism 31 including a support frame 311 fixed to the frame 1 and a conveying turntable 312 rotatably connected to the support frame 311, the conveying turntable 312 having multiple receiving ports 3121 at its edge, the receiving ports 3121 being used to receive the tubes pushed out by the feeding mechanism 22. The rotation of the feed turntable 312 causes the tube material to move axially around the feed turntable 312, so that the tube material passes through the detection mechanism 32 and falls into the sorting device 4. The sorting device 4 includes a first sorting box 41, a second sorting box 42 and a first sorting mechanism 43. The first sorting mechanism 43 includes a first sorting plate 431 hinged between the first sorting box 41 and the second sorting box 42 and a first sorting driver 432. The first sorting plate 431 is used to pick up the tube material. The first sorting driver 432 is electrically connected to the detection mechanism 32 and is used to drive the first sorting plate 431 to swing so that the tube material rolls down to the first sorting box 41 or the second sorting box 42. The round tube sorting machine in this embodiment uses a feeding device 2, a detection device 3, and a sorting device 4 to achieve efficient sorting of tubes. The feeding device 2 feeds tubes one by one into the detection device 3. The detection device 3 includes a material conveying mechanism 31 and a detection mechanism 32. The material conveying mechanism 31 uses a rotating material conveying turntable 312 to carry the tubes and move them around the axial direction of the material conveying turntable 312. The tubes located at multiple material receiving ports 3121 pass through the detection mechanism 32 in sequence to complete the straightness detection. According to the detection results, the detection mechanism 32 will send the corresponding signal to the first sorting mechanism 43 in the sorting device 4, so that the first sorting driver 432 drives the first sorting plate 431 to swing. When the corresponding tubes fall from the material conveying mechanism 31 into the sorting device 4, they will roll into the first sorting box 41 or the second sorting box 42 according to the different swing angles of the first sorting plate 431. The whole process realizes the effect of automatic detection and automatic sorting of tubes without the need for additional manual operation, which greatly improves the production efficiency of round tubes.

[0027] The sorting device 4 also includes a third sorting box 44 and a second sorting mechanism 45. The second sorting mechanism 45 includes a second sorting plate 451 hinged between the second sorting box 42 and the third sorting box 44, and a second sorting driver 452. The second sorting plate 451 is used to pick up or block the tube material falling from the first sorting plate 431 into the second sorting box 42. The second sorting driver 452 is electrically connected to the detection mechanism 32 and is used to drive the second sorting plate 451 to swing. When the second sorting plate 451 picks up the tube material, the tube material rolls to the second sorting box 42. When the second sorting plate 451 blocks the tube material, the tube material rolls to the third sorting box 44. Specifically, by adding a third sorting box 44 and a second sorting mechanism 45, the equipment can be set with more sorting intervals. For example, pipes with a straightness greater than 0.03, pipes with a straightness of 0.02 to 0.03, and pipes with a straightness of 0 to 0.02 will be sorted and rolled into the first sorting box 41, the second sorting box 42, and the third sorting box 44, respectively.

[0028] The sorting device 4 also includes an inclined discharge baffle 46. After the feed turntable 312 carries the pipe material past the detection mechanism 32, the discharge baffle 46 is used to abut the pipe material, so that the pipe material is separated from the receiving port 3121 and rolls onto the first sorting plate 431. The discharge baffle 46 is set to abut the pipe material, which facilitates the separation of the pipe material from the receiving port 3121. At the same time, it has a guiding effect on the separation of the pipe material, reducing the risk of the pipe material falling out of the equipment.

[0029] The inspection mechanism 32 includes an inspection instrument 321 fixed to the top of the support frame 311. The rotation axis of the feed turntable 312 is parallel to the horizontal plane. When the rotation of the feed turntable 312 moves the pipe to the top of the feed turntable 312, the inspection instrument 321 faces the pipe on both sides. Preferably, the inspection instrument 321 uses laser detection to quickly detect the straightness of the pipe by irradiating and receiving laser light from both sides of the pipe.

[0030] The feed turntables 312 are arranged in pairs and parallel to each other. The receiving ports 3121 located on each feed turntable 312 are used to receive the same pipe material at the same time. This arrangement makes the transportation of pipe material on the feed turntables 312 more stable.

[0031] The testing mechanism 32 also includes a rotation drive 322 mounted on a support frame 311. The rotation drive 322 includes a friction track 3221 and a pair of rotating wheels 3222. The friction track 3221 is respectively sleeved on the rotating wheels 3222. The rotating wheels 3222 rotate in the same direction to drive the friction track 3221 in cyclical motion. When the rotation of the feed turntable 312 causes the pipe to move to the top of the feed turntable 312, the friction track 3221 abuts against the pipe to drive the pipe to rotate around its axis. The rotation drive 322 facilitates the rotation of the pipe when it is facing the testing instrument 321, so as to facilitate the testing by the testing instrument 321. Preferably, the friction track 3221 can be made of an elastic material to avoid scratching the surface of the pipe.

[0032] The support frame 311 is equipped with oppositely arranged auxiliary frame wheels 3111. The self-rotation drive 322 is located between opposite feed turntables 312. The auxiliary frame wheels 3111 are respectively located on both sides of the opposite feed turntables 312. When the rotation of the feed turntable 312 drives the pipe to move to the top of the feed turntable 312, the auxiliary frame wheels 3111 are mounted on the end of the pipe. The setting of the auxiliary frame wheels 3111 makes the self-rotation of the pipe smoother and reduces the friction between the pipe and the feed turntable 312.

[0033] The support frame 311 is provided with opposing limiting baffles 3112, which are respectively located on both sides of the opposing feed turntables 312, and are used to restrict the axial movement of the pipe material when it is located at the receiving port 3121. The limiting baffles 3112 can prevent the pipe material from moving axially and falling out of the feed turntables 312 when the feed turntables 312 rotate.

[0034] The feeding mechanism 22 includes a feeding component 221 movably connected to the bottom of the material box 21, and a feeding driver 222 for driving the feeding component 221 to rise and fall. When the feeding component 221 descends, the tube material located in the material box 21 rolls to the top of the feeding component 221. When the feeding component 221 rises, it drives the tube material to rise to the edge of the opening of the material box 21, causing the tube material to detach from the material box 21 and fall into the receiving port 3121. Preferably, the top of the feeding component 221 is inclined towards the receiving port 3121, and the opening of the material box 21 is inclined towards the receiving port 3121 near the edge of the feeding component 221, so that whenever the tube material is pushed to the highest point by the feeding component 221, it can roll into the receiving port 3121 along the inclined direction of the top of the feeding component 221 and the edge of the opening of the material box 21 near the edge of the feeding component 221.
