[0027] The exemplary embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] An automatic seat pipe welding seam detection device, comprising:

[0029] The device frame 1 is composed of four groups of legs, a table top and two side guards in this embodiment. The four groups of legs are fixed at the four corners of the lower end of the table top, and the guards are fixed at the two side positions of the upper end of the table top to prevent the pipe from moving and falling during automatic feeding. In the device frame 1, a storage area 8, a secondary transfer area 4 and a detection area 5 are sequentially arranged from the feeding end to the discharging end of the device frame 1.

When the pipes are stored in the storage area 8, due to the arc-shaped structure of the storage area 8 between the storage table 2 and the material passing baffle 7, the pipes will automatically slide and accumulate at the bottom of the storage area 8. When feeding is needed, the first lifting cylinder 10 controls the lifting of the lifting plate 9. Due to the inclined structure of the lifting plate 9 itself, part of the pipes will be clamped on the upper end of the lifting plate 9 and will be lifted synchronously with the lifting plate 9. When the height of the lower side of the lifting plate 9 exceeds the height of the top end face of the material passing baffle 7, the pipes will be separated from the lifting plate 9 and will reach the position of the material passing port 3.

[0032] An upper baffle 11 is arranged above the material passing port 3. The upper end of the upper baffle 11 is provided with a baffle support.
