[0014] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0015] Depend on Figures 1 to 3 The present invention includes a device base 1, a horizontal groove 2 in the middle of the top of the device base 1, a first roller 3 rotatably mounted at equal intervals inside the horizontal groove 2, a vertical plate 4 fixedly mounted on one side of the top of the device base 1, a movable movable plate 5 mounted on one side of the vertical plate 4, a pressing roller 6 rotatably mounted on one side of the movable plate 5, an inverted L-shaped plate 7 fixedly mounted on the other side of the top of the device base 1, a second roller 8 rotatably mounted at equal intervals inside the inverted L-shaped plate 7, two movable and adjustable moving rods 9 mounted on the upper part of one end of the device base 1, a baffle 10 fixedly mounted between one end of the two moving rods 9, and a contact sensor 1001 mounted in the middle of one side of the baffle 10.

[0016] Both ends of the vertical plate 4 are movably connected with insert rods 11. One end of each insert rod 11 is fixedly connected to the movable plate 5. The middle of the vertical plate 4 is threadedly connected with a threaded shaft 12. One end of the threaded shaft 12 is rotatably connected to the middle of the other side of the movable plate 5. The other end of the threaded shaft 12 is fixedly connected to a rotating wheel 13. An inverted L-shaped rod 14 is fixedly installed at equal intervals on one side of the movable plate 5. The extrusion roller 6 is vertically rotatably connected to one end of the inverted L-shaped rod 14, thereby effectively clamping and fixing the placed square tube.

[0017] The square tube is placed between the surfaces of the first roller 3, and then the threaded shaft 12 is rotated and adjusted by the rotating wheel 13. The movement of the threaded shaft 12 will push the movable plate 5 to move horizontally. The horizontal movement of the movable plate 5 will drive the inverted L-shaped rod 14 and the extrusion roller 6 to move, so that the extrusion roller 6 clamps and fixes the square tube through the second roller 8.

[0018] The shaft of the second roller 8 extends above the inverted L-shaped plate 7 and is fixedly installed with a worm gear 16. The top of the inverted L-shaped plate 7 is equipped with a first motor 17, and the top of the inverted L-shaped plate 7 is rotatably equipped with a worm 18. The worm gear 16 is meshed with the worm 18, so that the clamped square tube can be effectively conveyed and moved.

[0019] The device base 1 is equipped with a controller and a control panel. The control panel is connected to the controller. The contact sensor 1001, the first motor 17 and the second motor 23 are all connected to the controller.

[0020] The worm gear 18 is rotated by starting the first motor 17. The rotation of the worm gear 18 will drive all the worm wheels 16 to rotate all the second rollers 8. The rotation of the second rollers 8 will transport and move the clamped square tube through the rotatable extrusion roller 6, so that one end of the square tube contacts the contact sensor 1001 on the baffle 10.

[0021] When one end of the square tube comes into contact with the contact sensor 1001, the contact sensor 1001 will send a signal to the controller, causing the controller to control the first motor 17 to stop rotating.

[0022] A transmission groove 19 is provided in the middle of the device base 1. A moving block 21 is installed inside the transmission groove 19. A threaded rod 22 is rotatably connected inside the transmission groove 19. The moving block 21 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 22. A second motor 23 connected to one end of the threaded rod 22 is installed at the other end of the device base 1. The other ends of the two moving rods 9 extend through the transmission groove 19 and are fixedly connected to the moving block 21. A measuring scale 24 is installed on the surface of the two moving rods 9. The beginning of the measuring scale 24 is aligned with the contact sensor 1001. Two alignment plates 25 are fixedly installed on the upper part of one end of the device base 1. The alignment plates 25 are aligned with the measuring scale 24, so that accurate length cutting can be performed.

[0023] The controller starts the second motor 23 via the control panel, which drives the threaded rod 22 to rotate. The rotation of the threaded rod 22 causes the moving block 21 to move on its surface. The movement of the moving block 21 drives the two moving rods 9, the baffle 10 and the contact sensor 1001 to move. Finally, the accurate position is adjusted by aligning the measuring ruler 24 with the alignment plate 25, so that the distance between the contact sensor 1001 and the alignment plate 25 meets the cutting length requirements.

[0024] Simultaneously, the laser cutter is installed directly above the alignment plate 25 to ensure accurate cutting operations.

[0025] This pipe fitting feeding mechanism has clamping and fixed-length conveying feeding functions. These functions can effectively cut and fix the pipe fittings, and can also automatically perform fixed-length conveying feeding operations, thereby effectively improving the efficiency of pipe fitting cutting and processing. In addition, this pipe fitting feeding mechanism has a simple structural design, is convenient to use and operate, and has stable and reliable clamping and feeding. Its performance can meet the requirements of laser cutting of pipe fittings.
