[0042] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0043] The following describes a rolled tube finished product cutting and feeding device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0044] See Figures 1 to 6 The finished rolled tube cutting and feeding device 100 of this utility model includes a discharge rack 1, a feeding component 2 and a turning component 3.
[0045] The discharge rack 1 has multiple material support grooves 11 extending along a first direction. These grooves are arranged sequentially along the first direction, with at least a gap 12 between some adjacent grooves 11. It is understood that the material support grooves 11 can be V-shaped, allowing for stable support of the pipe within the groove and preventing radial swaying. This facilitates subsequent material turning operations.
[0046] The feeding assembly 2 is arranged parallel to and side-by-side with the discharging rack 1. The feeding assembly 2 includes multiple idlers 21 arranged sequentially along a first direction. This arrangement of the feeding assembly 2 and the discharging rack 1 reduces the space requirements of the factory building, allowing the pipes on the material tray 11 to... Figure 1The diagram shows material feeding from right to left. However, once the pipe is moved onto the feeding assembly 2, it can be conveyed from left to right to the pipe cutting device, reducing space requirements in the left-right direction and improving the integration of various devices in the system. The first direction is the left-right direction shown in the diagram.
[0047] The tipping assembly 3 is positioned between the discharge rack 1 and the loading assembly 2. The tipping assembly 3 includes multiple arms 35. Each arm 35 has a first state in which it is located at the gap 12 or at either end of the discharge rack 1, and below the material support trough 11. Understandably, in this first state, the arms 35 do not affect the movement of the pipes on the discharge rack 1, nor do they interfere with the pipes in the material support trough 11. The arms 35 can swing to lift the pipes in the material support trough 11 and move them onto the rollers 21 in the loading assembly 2. When it is necessary to move the pipes from the discharge rack 1 to the rollers 21 in the loading assembly 2, the arms 35 swing, first lifting the pipes to separate them from the material support trough 11, and then moving the pipes along the arms 35 to the rollers 21. Thus, this embodiment realizes the transfer of rolled pipes from the discharge rack 1 to the loading assembly 2, achieving effective connection between the rolling and cutting processes.
[0048] In this embodiment, the material support trough 11, the idler roller 21, and the material turning assembly 3 can each be mounted on a frame and supported on the ground. Of course, the idler roller 21, the material support trough 11, and the material turning assembly 3 can share the same frame.
[0049] The finished rolled pipe cutting and feeding device 100 of this utility model reduces the space required for pipe turnover by arranging the discharge rack 1 and the feeding component 2 side by side, which facilitates the conveying and feeding of pipes. At the same time, this embodiment can realize automatic turnover feeding, reduce labor intensity and improve work efficiency.
[0050] The following describes a specific embodiment of the rolled pipe finished product cutting and feeding device 100 of this utility model.
[0051] See Figures 1 to 6 A finished rolled pipe cutting and feeding device 100 includes a discharge rack 1, a feeding component 2, a turning component 3 and a feeding component 4.
[0052] The discharge rack 1 has multiple material support grooves 11 extending along a first direction. These grooves are arranged sequentially along the first direction, with at least a gap 12 between some adjacent grooves 11. It is understood that the material support grooves 11 can be V-shaped, allowing for stable support of the pipe within the groove and preventing radial swaying. This facilitates subsequent material turning operations.
[0053] The feeding assembly 2 is parallel to and side-by-side with the discharging frame 1. The feeding assembly 2 includes multiple idlers 21 arranged sequentially along a first direction. Each idler 21 has a limiting groove on its circumferential wall. For example, the circumferential sidewall of the idler 21 may have an arc-shaped or V-shaped limiting groove. Some of the idlers 21 are positioning rollers 22, which have a first section 221 and a second section 222 along their axial direction. The first section 221 is cylindrical, and the second section 222 is conical. The end of the second section 222 with the smaller cross-sectional dimension abuts against the first section 221. The end face of the first section 221 has a better stopping effect.
[0054] The positioning roller 22 can better correct the deviation of the pipe and prevent the pipe from shifting on the idler roller 21. When the pipe moves from the discharge rack 1 to the feeding assembly 2, it can achieve the purpose of precise positioning and stopping.
[0055] The arrangement of the feeding assembly 2 and the unloading rack 1 can reduce the space requirements of the factory building, and the pipes on the material tray 11 can be fed from... Figure 1 The material is fed from right to left as shown. After the pipe is moved onto the feeding assembly 2, it can be fed from left to right to the pipe cutting equipment, reducing the space requirements in the left and right directions and improving the integration of the various devices in the system.
[0056] The material-turning assembly 3 is disposed between the discharge rack 1 and the loading assembly 2. The material-turning assembly 3 includes multiple arms 35, a first support 31, a drive shaft 32, a first driver, and multiple guide plates 36. The drive shaft 32 is rotatably connected to the first support 31, and its axial direction is parallel to a first direction. The multiple arms 35 are spaced apart along the drive shaft 32 in the first direction. The first driver is connected to the drive shaft 32 to drive its rotation. Each arm 35 has a positioning groove 351. The arm 35 has a first state in which it is located at the gap 12 or at both ends of the discharge rack 1, and is positioned below the material support trough 11. Simultaneously, in the first state, the positioning groove 351 corresponds to or is slightly lower than the material support trough 11 in the first direction. It is understood that in the first state, the arm 35 will not affect the movement of the pipes on the discharge rack 1, nor will it interfere with the pipes in the material support trough 11. The boom 35 can swing to lift the pipes in the material tray 11 and move them onto the idler roller 21 in the feeding assembly 2. A guide plate 36 is mounted on the first support 31. Multiple guide plates 36 are spaced apart and arranged parallel to each other along a first direction. One end of the guide plate 36 is positioned near the discharge rack 1, and the other end is positioned near the idler roller 21. The end of the guide plate 36 near the idler roller 21 is lower than the end near the discharge rack 1. The guide plate 36 serves as an intermediate guide, preventing the pipes from failing to accurately fall onto the idler roller 21. Specifically, the boom 35 lifts the pipes on the discharge rack 1 and conveys them onto the guide plate 36, allowing the pipes to slide along the guide plate 36 onto the idler roller 21.
[0057] In application, when it is necessary to move the tube on the discharge rack 1 to the idler roller 21 in the loading assembly 2, the arm 35 swings to first lift the tube, separating it from the material support trough 11, and then moves the tube along the arm 35 to the guide plate 36. Since the position of the end of the guide plate 36 near the idler roller 21 is relatively fixed, it can be ensured that the tube on the guide plate 36 falls smoothly onto the idler roller 21. Thus, this embodiment realizes the transfer of rolled tubes from the discharge rack 1 to the loading assembly 2, and achieves effective connection between the rolling process and the cutting process.
[0058] The first driver is a drive motor, which is connected to the drive shaft 32. Preferably, the first driver includes a power push rod 33 and a crank-slider mechanism 34. One end of the power push rod 33 is connected to the crank-slider mechanism 34, and the other end of the drive shaft 32 is connected to the crank-slider mechanism 34. When the power push rod 33 extends or retracts, the crank-slider mechanism 34 converts the linear motion of the power push rod 33 into the rotational motion of the drive shaft 32. Specifically, the power push rod 33 can be a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or an electric push rod.
[0059] In this embodiment, the material trough 11 is supported on the ground by a separate column, and the roller 21 is set on the first support 31. The roller 21 and the turning assembly 3 share the same support.
[0060] The feeding assembly 4 is located between two adjacent idlers 21 of the feeding assembly 2. Specifically, the feeding assembly 4 is located between the two idlers 21 closest to the pipe cutting device. The feeding assembly 4 includes a second support 41, a first wheel 42, a second wheel 43, a second driver 44, a fixed plate 45 fixed on the second support 41, a movable plate 46 movably disposed on the second support 41, and a slide rail 48. The movable plate 46 is movable along a second direction on the second support 41. A third driver 47 is disposed between the fixed plate 45 and the movable plate 46. The first wheel 42 is disposed on the fixed plate 45, and the second wheel 43 is disposed on the movable plate 46. The length direction of the slide rail 48 is parallel to the second direction. One end of the slide rail 48 is connected to the fixed plate 45. The movable plate 46 is provided with a sliding element that matches the slide rail 48. The sliding element can be a guide sleeve, and the slide rail 48 can be a guide rod. The guide sleeve is sleeved on the guide rod and is movable along the guide rod. The second direction is parallel to the vertical direction. The second direction is the up-down direction shown in the diagram.
[0061] The first wheel 42 and the second wheel 43 are arranged opposite to each other in the second direction. There are multiple first wheels 42 and second wheels 43, and they are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. The fixed plate 45 and the movable plate 46 are both provided with second drivers 44, and the first wheels 42 and the second wheels 43 are respectively connected to the second drivers 44.
[0062] In this embodiment, the second driver 44 is a drive motor, and the third driver 47 is a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or an electric push rod.
[0063] When the pipe on the discharge rack is moved to the feeding assembly, the first and second wheels of the feeding assembly separate under the action of the third driver to prevent the pipe from rolling off the guide plate and obstructing the rollers. After the pipe is stably supported on the rollers, the third driver drives the movable plate to approach the fixed plate, and the first and second wheels clamp the pipe. The second driver is then activated, and the rotation of the first and second wheels moves the pipe along the first direction, thereby feeding it to the pipe cutting equipment.
[0064] The rolled pipe finished product cutting and feeding device of this utility model reduces the space required for pipe turnover by arranging the discharge rack and feeding component side by side, which facilitates the conveying and feeding of pipes. At the same time, this embodiment can realize automatic turnover feeding, reduce labor intensity and improve work efficiency.
