Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of loading and unloading devices, and more specifically, to a multi-station automated loading and unloading device. Background Technology
[0002] Pipes are the materials used to make pipe fittings. Different pipe fittings require different pipe materials. The quality of the pipe material directly determines the quality of the pipe fittings. Pipes are essential materials for construction projects. Commonly used pipes include water supply pipes, drainage pipes, gas pipes, heating pipes, electrical conduits, and rainwater pipes. Because pipes are long, they need to be transported to a pipe cutting machine for cutting before use to facilitate installation and laying.
[0003] In existing technologies, continuous feeding may cause equipment to operate under high load for extended periods, especially at high production volumes. Without proper intermittent rest, this can exacerbate wear, increase the failure rate, and ultimately shorten the equipment's lifespan.
[0004] Therefore, we provide a multi-station automated loading and unloading device. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a multi-station automated loading and unloading device, solving the problems mentioned in the background section. To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: A multi-station automated loading and unloading device includes a hopper, the hopper having multiple unloading cavities inside, and a rotating device for controlling the unloading speed inside the hopper. The rotating device includes a connecting plate, an electric telescopic rod hinged to the top of the connecting plate, a fixed rod fixedly connected to the top of the electric telescopic rod, a support frame fixedly connected to the bottom of the hopper, a bushing fixedly connected to the front of the support frame, a first rotating rod rotatably connected to the right side of the bushing via a bearing, a limit rod fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first rotating rod, and a drive rod fixedly connected to the right side of the first rotating rod.

[0009] Preferably, the side of the hopper is equipped with a tapping device to prevent hopper blockage.
[0010] Preferably, the striking device includes a hydraulic chamber, which is fixedly connected to the right side of the hopper. A hydraulic rod is slidably connected to a piston at one end inside the hydraulic chamber. The hydraulic rod is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the drive rod.

[0013] I. This application utilizes a connecting plate, an electric telescopic rod, a drive rod, a bushing, a first rotating rod, a limit rod, a fixing rod, and a groove for intermittent operation, thereby avoiding prolonged continuous operation of the equipment, reducing wear, failure rate, and extending the service life of the equipment.

[0022] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0023] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. This application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Example
[0024] See Figure 1 - Figure 4 This embodiment provides a multi-station automated loading and unloading device, including a hopper 1. The hopper 1 contains multiple unloading cavities. A rotating device 2 for controlling the unloading speed is also installed inside the hopper 1. The rotating device 2 includes a connecting plate 21, with an electric telescopic rod 22 hinged to the top of the connecting plate 21. A fixed rod 27 is fixedly connected to the top of the electric telescopic rod 22. A support frame is fixedly connected to the bottom of the hopper 1. A bushing 24 is fixedly connected to the front of the support frame. A first rotating rod 25 is rotatably connected to the right side of the bushing 24 via a bearing. A limit rod 26 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first rotating rod 25. A drive rod 23 is fixedly connected to the right side of the first rotating rod 25 and hinged to the back of the fixed rod 27. The limiting rod 26 has a groove 28 on its front for accommodating the pipe. A conveying plate 4 is fixedly connected to the side of the support frame. Multiple rollers 5 are mounted on the top of the conveying plate 4. An inclined plate 6 is fixedly connected inside the hopper 1 to allow the pipe to roll onto the top of the limiting rod 26. The rising and falling of the electric telescopic rod 22 drives the operation of the entire system, allowing the pipe to be moved and placed periodically and intermittently. This prevents the equipment from being under high load for a long time. Through intermittent operation, the equipment is prevented from operating continuously for a long time, thereby reducing wear, failure rate and increasing the service life of the equipment. The pipe can smoothly roll into the processing area through the conveying plate and rollers, thus providing an efficient pipe handling method for the production line.
[0025] When the above-mentioned equipment is used, the electric telescopic rod 22 is activated, which drives the fixed rod 27 to descend. The electric telescopic rod 22 drives the drive rod 23 to rotate counterclockwise, which in turn drives the first rotating rod 25 to rotate counterclockwise. The first rotating rod 25 drives the limiting rod 26 to rotate counterclockwise. When the limiting rod 26 rotates counterclockwise, it catches the pipe through the groove 28. The electric telescopic rod 22 rises, which in turn drives the fixed rod 27 to rise. The electric telescopic rod 22 drives the drive rod 23 to rotate clockwise, which in turn drives the first rotating rod 25 to rotate clockwise. The first rotating rod 25 drives the limiting rod 26 to rotate clockwise. When the limiting rod 26 rotates clockwise, it places the caught pipe on the surface of the conveyor plate 4 through the groove 28. The pipe then rolls down into the processing area through the rollers 5 on the surface of the conveyor plate 4. Example
[0026] See Figure 1 - Figure 4 Based on Embodiment 1, a striking device 3 for preventing blockage of the silo 1 is installed on the side of the silo 1. The striking device 3 includes a hydraulic silo 31, which is fixedly connected to the right side of the silo 1. A hydraulic rod 32 is slidably connected to a piston at one end inside the hydraulic silo 31. The hydraulic rod 32 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the drive rod 23. A rack 33 is slidably connected to a piston at one end inside the hydraulic silo 31. A fixed plate 34 is fixedly connected to the side of the silo 1. A second rotating rod 35 is rotatably connected to the front of the fixed plate 34 through a bearing. A spherical gear 36 is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the second rotating rod 35. A striking block 37 is fixedly connected to the front of the second rotating rod 35. The spherical gear 36 and the rack 33 mesh with each other. The pipes in the silo 1 are prevented from accumulating or getting stuck due to vibration, thereby ensuring that the pipes in the silo 1 can flow and be processed smoothly. Vibrating the outer wall of the silo 1 helps to prevent pipe blockage, improves the continuity of material supply, and avoids production stagnation or waste caused by blockage.
[0027] In practical use, when the electric telescopic rod 22 descends, it causes the fixed rod 27 to descend. The fixed rod 27 drives the drive rod 23 to rotate. The drive rod 23 drives the hydraulic rod 32 to move backward. During the backward movement of the hydraulic rod 32, the internal pressure of the hydraulic chamber 31 decreases, causing the rack 33 to descend. The rack 33 drives the sprocket 36 to rotate. The sprocket 36 drives the second rotating rod 35 to rotate. The second rotating rod 35 drives the striking block 37 to rotate. The striking block 37 strikes the hopper 1, vibrating the outer wall of the hopper 1 and preventing the pipe from blocking the inside of the hopper 1.
[0028] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
