Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipe cutting technology, and in particular to a feeding device and cutting equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Pipe cutting is a crucial process in the machinery manufacturing industry, widely used in construction, automotive, and furniture sectors. Currently, the traditional processing method prevalent in the industry relies heavily on manual operation for pipe feeding. Specifically, operators manually push the pipe sections to be cut into the feed inlet of the cutting equipment, and only after the equipment completes the cut can the next section be clamped and positioned. This highly manual operation mode has significant technical drawbacks: First, the efficiency of manually pushing pipes is limited by the operator's physical strength and skill level, especially in continuous production scenarios where mismatches in work rhythm can easily occur, leading to increased equipment idle time. Second, operators are in close contact with the high-speed cutting equipment, posing safety hazards such as mechanical pinching injuries and flying cutting debris. Therefore, we provide a feeding device and cutting equipment to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0032] like Figure 1 — Figure 7 The example shown.

[0033] A feeding device includes a mounting frame 100, a load-bearing guide assembly 200, a linear drive assembly 300, and a spinning assembly 400.

[0034] In some specific embodiments, the load-bearing guide assembly 200 is fixedly mounted on the mounting frame 100 and is used to carry and guide the workpiece. The linear drive assembly 300 is fixedly mounted on the mounting frame 100 and is used to push the workpiece located on the load-bearing guide assembly 200. The spinning assembly 400 is fixedly mounted on the mounting frame 100 and is located on the guide path of the load-bearing guide assembly 200. The spinning assembly 400 is used to limit the workpiece located on the load-bearing guide assembly 200.

[0035] Please see Figure 1 As shown, in the initial state, the workpiece from the upstream equipment is conveyed to the bearing guide assembly 200. When the workpiece needs to be fed, the linear drive assembly 300 pushes the workpiece on the bearing guide assembly 200 to push the workpiece into the cutting equipment. Then, in order to prevent the workpiece from shaking during cutting, the spinning assembly 400 presses the workpiece located on the bearing guide assembly 200 to ensure the accuracy during cutting.

[0036] In this embodiment, the workpiece can be a tube, or other bar stock. The specific type is not limited here. The term "workpiece" will be used to describe the material being processed in the following text.

[0037] In some specific embodiments, the load-bearing guide assembly 200 includes a support frame 210 fixedly mounted on the mounting frame 100. The support frame 210 has a first side and a second side. A first plate 220 is detachably mounted on the first side, and a second plate 230 is detachably mounted on the second side. The first plate 220 abuts against the second plate 230, and the first plate 220 and the second plate 230 are separately configured.

[0038] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in order to smoothly push the workpiece onto the guide assembly 200 and into the cutting device on one side, the first plate 220 and the second plate 230 are fixedly mounted on the support frame 210 at a 90-degree angle. The workpiece is generally placed on the second plate 230. To prevent the workpiece from detaching from the second plate 230, the included angle between the first side and the second side can be less than or equal to 90 degrees, thus ensuring that the included angle between the first plate 220 and the second plate 230 is also less than or equal to 90 degrees. This is understandable. Yes, if the angle between the first plate 220 and the second plate 230 is less than 90 degrees, the workpiece will abut against the first plate 220, thus preventing the workpiece from detaching from the other side. When the angle between the first plate 220 and the second plate 230 is equal to 90 degrees, the workpiece will be pushed to the cutting device on the second plate 230. Furthermore, in order to prevent the workpiece from detaching from the second plate 230, the spinning assembly 400 can be used to limit the workpiece on the second plate 230 to prevent it from detaching from the second plate 230.

[0039] In this embodiment, the first plate 220 and the second plate 230 adopt a split design, that is, the first plate 220 and the second plate 230 can be installed separately on the support frame 210. The advantage of this design is that when one side of the first plate 220 is worn, it can be disassembled and reversed, improving its utilization rate and service life. Similarly, when the upper surface of the second plate 230 is worn due to long-term friction with the workpiece, the second plate 230 can be disassembled and reversed, with the back of the second plate 230 facing up and the worn front facing down, extending the service life of the second plate 230, thereby reducing the maintenance cost of the entire device and improving efficiency.

[0040] In some specific embodiments, the linear drive assembly 300 includes a fixed block 310 mounted on the bearing guide assembly 200. The fixed block 310 has a guide groove 301 along the workpiece movement direction. A chain 320 is disposed in the guide groove 301. A push plate 340 is fixedly mounted at the end of the chain 320. A power component 330 is fixedly mounted on the mounting bracket 100. The power component 330 drives the chain 320 to move in the guide groove 301.

[0041] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 as well as Figure 6 As shown, in the initial state, the chain 320 is partially located in the guide groove 301. Driven by the power component 330, the chain 320 moves in the guide groove 301. Since the guide groove 301 restricts the position of each link of the chain 320, the links cannot rotate about the link pins, so the chain 320 cannot bend. Thus, the chain 320 moves taut in the guide groove 301. As the power component 330 drives the chain 320 to move in the guide groove 301, the push plate 340 also moves synchronously with the chain 320, thereby pushing the workpiece located on the second plate 230 toward the cutting equipment.

[0042] In some specific embodiments, the fixing block 310 includes a bearing portion 311 and a guide portion 312. The bearing portion 311 is located at the position of the power member 330, and the guide groove 301 is formed in the guide portion 312 along the workpiece moving direction.

[0043] Please see Figure 5 As shown, in order to push the chain into the guide groove 301, a support part 311 integrally formed with the guide part 312 is provided at the entrance of the guide groove 301. The chain 320 can be pushed into the guide groove 301 at the position of the support part 311. In order to better push the chain 320 to move, a groove adapted to the chain 320 is formed on the upper surface of the support part 311.

[0044] In this embodiment, both the bearing part 311 and the guide part 312 are long rods.

[0045] The guide groove 301 includes a first groove 3011, a second groove 3012 is provided on one side of the first groove 3011, and a third groove 3013 is provided on the side of the first groove 3011 opposite to the second groove 3012, which communicates with the outside of the guide part 312. The chain plate on one side of the chain 320 is disposed in the first groove 3011, the pin ends of each link of the chain 320 are located in the second groove 3012, and the pin ends of each link of the chain 320 rest on the surface of the third groove 3013.

[0046] Please see Figure 6As shown, in this embodiment, after the chain 320 enters the guide groove 301, the chain links of the chain 320 will enter the first groove 3011. The first groove 3011 limits the chain links to prevent them from twisting. Furthermore, one end of the pin of the chain link will enter the second groove 3012. The second groove 3012 limits the vertical movement of the pin to prevent it from swinging up and down. Additionally, besides the end pins and the chain... The link portion is located in the third groove 3013, thereby limiting the link and preventing relative rotation between the links. The guide groove 301 limits each link, thereby straightening each link in the guide groove 301 and making it rigid and linear, so that the chain 320 can move in the guide groove 301. It can be understood that the chain piece located outside the guide groove 301 is fixedly connected to the push plate 340, that is, at this time the push plate 340 moves with the movement of the chain 320.

[0047] Understandably, a chain consists of multiple links, with adjacent links connected by pins, and the plates on both sides of each link are chain plates.

[0048] In some specific embodiments, the power component 330 includes a fixed base 331 fixedly mounted on the mounting bracket 100, a first rotary drive component 332 fixedly mounted on the fixed base 331, a sprocket 333 mounted on the rotating end of the first rotary drive component 332, and the sprocket 333 meshing and drivingly connected with the chain 320.

[0049] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the chain 320 is driven to move in the guide groove 301 mainly by the engagement of the sprocket 333 with the chain 320. Specifically, the first rotary drive 332 drives the sprocket 333 to rotate, and then the sprocket 333 engages with the chain 320 to achieve force transmission.

[0050] In some specific embodiments, the push plate 340 includes a fixed plate 341 fixedly connected to the chain 320, and a transmission plate 342 is fixedly installed at one end of the fixed plate 341.

[0051] Please see Figure 4 As shown, the fixing plate 341 is fixedly installed on the chain 320, and the transmission plate 342 is fixedly installed at the end of the fixing plate 341. Pushing is achieved by the transmission plate 342 contacting the workpiece. In this embodiment, the fixing plate 341 is in the shape of "L".

[0052] In this embodiment, it can be understood that by using the chain 320 as a force transmission component, it can be kept taut in the guide groove 301 and driven to move the workpiece by the push plate 340. After leaving the guide groove 301, it can be bent and collected, thereby reducing space occupation and enabling it to be used in a small space.

[0053] Understandably, if there is sufficient installation space, other linear drive components can also be used to drive the workpiece to move. For example, a cylinder can be used as a drive element to drive the workpiece to move. In addition to cylinders, other linear drive components or structures can also be used, and specific ones are not limited here.

[0054] In this embodiment, the linear drive assembly 300 is equipped with a bracket, and at least one photoelectric sensor 302 is installed on the bracket. The photoelectric sensor 302 can determine whether there is a workpiece on the second plate 230. If there is a workpiece, the power component 330 can drive the chain 320 to move in the guide groove 301 and then push the workpiece to the cutting equipment through the push plate 340 to complete the feeding.

[0055] In some specific embodiments, a spinning assembly 400 is provided on the workpiece transfer path of the bearing guide assembly 200. The spinning assembly 400 is fixedly mounted on the mounting base 410 on the mounting frame 100. A second rotary drive 420 is fixedly mounted on the mounting base 410. A rotating shaft is provided at the rotating end of the second rotary drive 420. A pressure plate 430 is fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft. The second rotary drive 420 drives the pressure plate 430 to rotate toward or away from the bearing guide assembly 200.

[0056] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, in order to prevent the workpiece from detaching from the second plate 230, the second rotary drive 420 can drive the pressure plate 430 to rotate toward the workpiece, so that the pressure plate 430 restricts the workpiece on the second plate 230. When the workpiece on the second plate 230 is pushed to the cutting device, the second rotary drive 420 can drive the pressure plate 430 to continue to move toward the workpiece to press it against it, so as to prevent it from being displaced.

[0057] In some specific embodiments, a storage component 500 is provided at the end of the fixing block 310. The storage component 500 includes a guide wheel 510 provided at the end of the fixing block 310, a chain 320 resting on the guide wheel 510, and a storage groove 520 provided on one side of the mounting bracket 100, which is located below the guide wheel 510.

[0058] Please see Figure 1As shown, in order to prevent the chain 320 outside the guide groove 301 from getting tangled or piling up on the mounting bracket 100, a guide wheel 510 is provided at the end of the fixing block 310. Specifically, the fixing block 310 is rotatably mounted on the fixing base 331. The guide wheel 510 supports and guides the chain 320 outside the guide groove 301. A storage groove 520 is provided below the guide wheel 510. The chain 320 is collected into the storage groove 520 by the guide wheel 510. When in use, the chain 320 can be pulled out and unfolded in the storage groove 520.

[0059] This application also provides a cutting device, which includes any of the above-described feeding devices.

[0060] The working process of this utility model is as follows: The workpiece, such as a pipe, is first placed on the second plate 230 of the bearing guide assembly 200. It is guided and positioned by the support frame 210 and the detachable first plate 220 and second plate 230. The photoelectric sensor 302 detects the position of the workpiece in real time and controls the start and stop of the power component 330. All components work together to achieve efficient and safe automated feeding and cutting. When the linear drive assembly 300 is started, the first rotary drive component 332 in the power component 330 drives the sprocket 333 to rotate and mesh with the chain 320, so that the chain 320 moves linearly in the guide groove 301 of the fixed block 310. The push plate 340 is fixedly connected to the chain 320 through the fixed plate 341 and the transmission plate 342. As the chain moves, it pushes the workpiece along the second plate 230 to be conveyed towards the cutting equipment.

[0061] When the workpiece reaches the cutting position, the second rotary drive 420 of the spinning assembly 400 drives the pressure plate 430 to rotate, pressing the workpiece to prevent it from shaking during cutting. After cutting, the pressure plate 430 resets, and the linear drive assembly 300 continues to push the next workpiece. The guide wheel 510 of the receiving assembly 500 guides the end of the chain 320 into the receiving groove 520 to prevent the chain from piling up.

[0062] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
