Several drive wheels are arranged in a row and rotatably installed on the top of the support frame. Adjacent drive wheels are connected by a chain. The drive power source is installed in the support frame and is connected to the first drive wheel through a chain. One end of several feeding plates is rotatably connected to the top of one side of the support frame. The other end of each feeding plate is installed on the other side of the support frame through a feeding plate power actuator. There are 2 to 4 drive wheels between adjacent feeding plates. The limiter power actuator is installed at the end of the support frame. The pipe limiter is rotatably connected to the end of the support frame and is connected to the limiter power actuator.

Detailed Implementation
[0022] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through embodiments. The following embodiments are explanations of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.
[0023] Example.
[0024] See Figures 1 to 7 The pipe conveying device in this embodiment includes a position identification sensor 1, a drive wheel 2, a feeding plate 3, a displacement sensor 4, a photoelectric sensor 5, a pipe limiter 6, a limiter power actuator 7, a feeding plate power actuator 8, a support frame 9, a chain 10, a sprocket 11, and a drive power source 12. The drive wheel 2 is thinner in the middle and thicker at both ends, and the diameter of the drive wheel 2 gradually increases from the middle to both ends.
[0025] In this embodiment, several drive wheels 2 are arranged in a row and rotatably mounted on the top of the support frame 9. The drive wheels 2 can rotate on the support frame 9. Adjacent drive wheels 2 are connected by a chain 10. The drive power source 12 is installed in the support frame 9 and is connected to the first drive wheel 2 via the chain 10. The drive power source 12 can drive the first drive wheel 2 to rotate. Since adjacent drive wheels 2 are connected by the chain 10, the drive power source 12 can eventually drive all drive wheels 2 to rotate synchronously. Each drive wheel 2 has a sprocket 11 on its shaft. The chain 10 connecting adjacent drive wheels 2 is connected to the sprocket 11 of adjacent drive wheels 2, that is, the sprockets 11 on adjacent drive wheels 2 are connected by the chain 10.
[0026] In this embodiment, the top of the feeding plate 3 is provided with a triangular notch 13. One end of several feeding plates 3 is rotatably connected to the top of one side of the support frame 9. The other end of each feeding plate 3 is installed on the other side of the support frame 9 through a feeding plate power actuator 8. Under the action of the feeding plate power actuator 8, the other end of the feeding plate 3 can be lifted upward, so that the position of the other end of the feeding plate 3 is higher than the position of the first end of the feeding plate 3, thereby realizing the function of lifting the tube 20 and rolling it out of the support frame 9. There are 2 to 4 drive wheels 2 between two adjacent feeding plates 3.
[0027] In this embodiment, the limiter actuator 7 is installed at the end of the support frame 9, and the pipe limiter 6 is rotatably connected to the end of the support frame 9. The pipe limiter 6 and the limiter actuator 7 are connected. The pipe limiter 6 includes a limiting arm 14 and a transmission arm 15. One end of the limiting arm 14 and one end of the transmission arm 15 are connected. The included angle between the limiting arm 14 and the transmission arm 15 is between 100° and 150°. The connection between the limiting arm 14 and the transmission arm 15 is rotatably connected to the end of the support frame 9. The pipe limiter 6 can rotate at the end of the support frame 9, thereby achieving the function of blocking the pipe 20. The other end of the transmission arm 15 is connected to the limiter actuator 7.
[0028] In this embodiment, the photoelectric sensor 5 is installed at the end of the support frame 9, the position recognition sensor 1 is installed at the front end of the support frame 9, and the displacement sensor 4 is installed on the support frame 9, located between the last two drive wheels 2.
[0029] In this embodiment, the position recognition sensor 1 is installed at the front end of the support frame 9 to detect the length of the pipe 20; the displacement sensor 4 is installed between the last two drive wheels 2, and the displacement sensor 4 identifies the pipe diameter by judging the distance from the outer circle of the pipe 20 to the displacement sensor 4; the photoelectric sensor 5 is located on the inner side of the end of the support frame 9, and is responsible for detecting the positioning signal of the pipe 20; the pipe limiter 6 is installed on the outer side of the end of the support frame 9; one end of the limiter power actuator 7 is installed on the support frame 9, and the other end is installed on the pipe limiter 6; there are multiple feeding plate power actuators 8, one end of each feeding plate power actuator 8 is installed on the support frame 9, and the other end is installed on the feeding plate 3; the sprocket 11 is installed on the output shaft of the drive wheel 2; the chain 10 is installed on the sprocket 11, and the drive power source 12 is installed on the support frame 9, which drives the drive wheel 2 to transport the pipe 20 through the chain 10 and the sprocket 11.
[0030] In this embodiment, when the pipe conveying device is running, the first end of the pipe 20 to be conveyed is first conveyed onto the first drive wheel 2 on the left. The pipe 20 continues to advance until one end of the pipe 20 first contacts the position recognition sensor 1. The position recognition sensor 1 sends a signal, at which point the length of the pipe 20 is measured, and the drive power source 12 is started. The drive power source 12 drives the first sprocket 11 through the chain 10, and the remaining sprockets 11 are also driven sequentially through the chain 10. The sprockets 11 drive all the drive wheels 2 to rotate together. At this time, the drive wheels 2 drive the pipe 20 to move to the right. One end of the pipe 20 first contacts the position recognition sensor 1, and the length of the pipe 20 is measured. The pipe 20 continues to move to the right until the tail end of the pipe 20 passes the position recognition sensor 1, at which point the length measurement of the pipe 20 is completed. The pipe 20 continues to move to the right until it is blocked by the raised pipe limiter 6. At this time, the photoelectric sensor 5 detects the arrival signal of the pipe 20, and the displacement sensor 4 starts to detect the outer diameter of the pipe 20. The outer diameter and length of the pipe 20 are used to determine whether the pipe 20 is qualified. If the pipe 20 is unqualified, the limit actuator 7 will pull down, the pipe limiter 6 will no longer block the pipe 20, and the pipe 20 will be transported to the unqualified pipe stacking area. If the pipe 20 is qualified, the feed plate actuator 8 will push the feed plate 3 to lift, and the pipe 20 will be poured into the next processing step.
