[0002] With the continuous development of industry, automated pipe feeding systems are gradually replacing manual feeding. However, in related technologies, automated pipe feeding typically involves the pipe rolling down an inclined plane from a storage device onto a conveyor, which then transports the pipe to the processing stage. During this process, pipe stacking can easily occur, requiring manual intervention to level the pipes, thus impacting production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0034] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0035] It should be noted that when a component is referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another component, it can be directly on or indirectly on that other component. When a component is referred to as being "connected to" another component, it can be directly connected to or indirectly connected to that other component.

[0036] It should be understood that the terms "length", "width", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", and "outer" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0037] It should be understood that the term "and / or" as used in this specification and the appended claims refers to any combination of one or more of the associated listed items and all possible combinations, and includes such combinations.

[0038] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0039] Please see Figure 1 This utility model provides a pipe anti-piling device 100, including a frame 10, a guide assembly 20, a stopper 30, and a drive unit 40. The guide assembly 20 is disposed on the frame 10. The stopper 30 is slidably connected to the frame 10 through the guide assembly 20, and the stopper 30 can move relative to the frame 10 so that the gap between the stopper 30 and the support member 200 used to support the pipe is greater than or equal to one pipe diameter and less than twice the pipe diameter. The drive unit 40 drives the stopper 30 to move relative to the frame 10 in the vertical direction.

[0040] In this embodiment of the utility model, the baffle 30 can be used to block stacked pipes, allowing only flat pipes to pass through, thereby preventing stacked pipes from reaching the next process and affecting the processing effect of the next process. In addition, since the guide component 20 can guide the movement of the baffle 30 in the vertical direction, and the drive component 40 can drive the baffle 30 to move in the vertical direction, the relative position relationship between the baffle 30 and the frame 10 can be adjusted according to different pipe sizes to meet the anti-stacking requirements of more pipe sizes.

[0041] Specifically, the retaining member 30 is located above the bearing member 200 used to carry the pipes. It can be understood that the stacked pipes are taller than the laid-out pipes. Therefore, the retaining member 30 can abut against the stacked pipes and be separated from the laid-out pipes, thereby preventing the stacked pipes from moving to the next process through the pipe transport structure.

[0042] As is understandable, pipe diameter refers to the outer diameter of the pipe. Single pipe diameter refers to the outer diameter of one pipe, and double pipe diameter refers to the outer diameter of two pipes. As is understandable, the support member 200 is used to support and transport the pipe, and the stop member 30 is used to stop the pipes stacked on the support member 200.

[0043] The frame 10 is used to support the guide assembly 20, the stop 30, and the drive component 40. There are many structures for the frame 10, as long as the frame 10 can support the guide assembly 20, the stop 30, and the drive component 40, this application does not impose any specific limitations.

[0044] The guide assembly 20 is used to guide the movement of the stop member 30. The guide assembly 20 has various structures. In one embodiment, the guide assembly 20 includes two gears and two racks arranged vertically. The two gears are located at both ends of the stop member 30, and each gear meshes with one of the racks. In another embodiment, the guide assembly 20 includes guide grooves on both sides of the stop member 30, both of which are arranged vertically. Rollers are provided on both sides of the stop member 30, and the rollers are housed within the guide grooves, which limit the movement of the rollers. It is understood that the specific structures of the guide assembly 20 will not be listed in detail in this application.

[0045] The baffle 30 is used to block stacked pipes. Understandably, the length direction of the baffle 30 is parallel to the length direction of the pipe, so as to have a larger contact area with the pipe and achieve a better effect of pushing the stacked pipes down.

[0046] The drive component 40 is used to drive the stop component 30 to move vertically relative to the frame 10. The drive component 40 has many structures, including motors, cylinders, etc. This application does not impose any specific limitations.

[0047] Please see Figures 1 to 3 In this embodiment of the utility model, the guide component 20 includes a linear rail component 21, which includes a linear rail member 211 and a mating member 213. The bottom end of the linear rail member 211 is connected to the stop member 30. The linear rail member 211 is arranged in a vertical direction. The mating member 213 is sleeved on the linear rail member 211 and is connected to the frame 10.

[0048] In this way, the guide of the material stop 30 can be achieved at low cost and with a simple structure. In addition, since the material stop 30 needs to block the pipe, it is easily affected by the impact of the pipe. The linear guide assembly 21 can provide good impact resistance and improve the service life of the pipe anti-piling device 100.

[0049] For further details, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The guide assembly 20 also includes a guide rail assembly 23, which includes a guide rail component 231 and a slider 233. The guide rail component 231 is arranged in a vertical direction, and the stop component 30 is slidably connected to the frame 10 through the guide rail component 231 and the slider 233.

[0050] In this way, the guide component 20 can guide the stop component 30. In addition, the guide rail component 23 has high precision but poor impact resistance. By setting both the linear guide component 21 to provide good impact resistance and the guide rail component 23 to provide good guiding precision, the drive component 40 can act well on the stop component 30, avoiding the problem that the drive component 40 cannot drive the stop component 30 well due to the deviation of the stop component 30.

[0051] For further details, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The pipe anti-stacking device 100 also includes a connecting plate 60, which is arranged vertically. The bottom end of the connecting plate 60 is connected to the baffle 30. The guide rail 231 is provided on the connecting plate 60, and the slider 233 is provided on the frame 10.

[0052] In this way, the connecting plate 60 and the guide rail 231 can move together with the stop 30 relative to the frame 10, thus preventing the guide rail 231 from going beyond the stop 30 and colliding with the pipe.

[0053] It is understandable that there are many ways to connect the connecting plate 60 and the stop 30. The connecting plate 60 and the stop 30 can be connected by bolts, or the connecting plate 60 and the stop 30 can be integrally formed, or the connecting plate 60 and the stop 30 can be connected by bonding, snap-fitting, etc. This application does not impose any specific restrictions.

[0054] It is understandable that slider 233 can be directly set on frame 10, or slider 233 can be set on frame 10 by connecting sheet metal. The way slider 233 is set on frame 10 can be adjusted as needed, and this application does not impose specific restrictions.

[0055] Please see Figures 1 to 3 In this embodiment of the present invention, the radial direction of the slider 233 is parallel to the length direction of the stop 30.

[0056] This allows for better resistance to the impact of pipes, increasing the service life of the pipe anti-piling device 100.

[0057] Specifically, the radial direction of slider 233 is perpendicular to the length direction of guide rail 231 and points towards or away from guide rail 231, while the transverse direction of slider 233 is perpendicular to the length direction of guide rail 231 and perpendicular to the radial direction. Understandably, the dimension of guide rail 231 along the transverse direction of slider 233 is generally larger than the dimension of guide rail 231 along the radial direction of slider 233. Therefore, the impact resistance of guide rail assembly 23 is stronger along the transverse direction of slider 233 than along the radial direction of slider 233.

[0058] Please see Figures 1 to 3 In this embodiment of the present invention, the guide component 20 includes two linear rail components 21 and two guide rail components 23. The two linear rail components 21 are arranged sequentially at both ends of the stop member 30 along the length direction of the stop member 30. The two guide rail components 23 are spaced apart from the stop member 30. The two guide rail components 23 and the two linear rail components 21 are spaced apart. The drive component 40 is located between the two guide rail components 23.

[0059] Thus, the two linear guide assemblies 21 are located on both sides of the drive member 40, which can provide better support for the stop member 30 and reduce the impact resistance requirement of the drive member 40. The two guide rail assemblies 23 are located at both ends of the stop member 30, which provide high-precision guidance for the stop member 30.

[0060] Understandably, since both the two linear guide assemblies 21 and the two guide rail assemblies 23 are located on both sides of the drive member 40, they can support and guide the stop member 30 on both sides of the drive member 40 respectively, thereby reducing the impact of the stop member 30 on the drive member 40.

[0061] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 In this embodiment of the utility model, the driving component 40 includes a hand-cranked lead screw component 41, which includes a hand-cranked structure 411 and a lead screw structure 413. The bottom end of the lead screw structure 413 is connected to the stop component 30. The lead screw structure 413 is arranged in a vertical direction. The hand-cranked structure 411 is sleeved on the lead screw structure 413 and cooperates with the lead screw structure 413. The hand-cranked structure 411 is provided on the frame 10.

[0062] In this way, the position of the stop part 30 can be adjusted in a simple and low-cost manner.

[0063] Understandably, when blocking stacks of pipes of the same size, there is no need to adjust the position of the baffle 30. Only when blocking stacks of pipes of different sizes is it necessary to adjust the position of the baffle 30 according to the pipe size. Therefore, the situation of adjusting the position of the baffle 30 is not frequent. Thus, a hand-cranked screw 41 is provided, which can be manually adjusted by hand. The structure is simple, not easy to be damaged, and has a low cost.

[0064] Understandably, the hand-cranked lead screw 41 can convert the manual rotational motion received by the hand-cranked structure 411 into the linear motion of the lead screw structure 413.

[0065] Please see Figure 1 In this embodiment of the utility model, the pipe anti-stacking device 100 includes at least two anti-stacking components 50. Each anti-stacking component 50 includes a guide component 20, a baffle 30, and a drive component 40. The at least two anti-stacking components 50 are arranged sequentially and spaced apart along the length of the baffle 30 on the frame 10.

[0066] This ensures the blocking effect on the pipe and reduces the requirement for the 30mm length of the retaining element.

[0067] Understandably, pipes are typically quite long. To achieve a good blocking effect, the stopper 30 needs to abut against the pipe at multiple points along its length, preventing a situation where part of the pipe has passed through while another part is stuck in front of the stopper 30. To ensure effective blocking, the stopper 30 can be of a length similar to the pipe, or multiple shorter stoppers 30 can be installed at intervals.

[0068] Please see Figure 1 In this embodiment of the present invention, the frame 10 includes a crossbeam 11, two first supports 13 and two second supports 15. The crossbeam 11 is connected to the guide assembly 20 and the drive component 40. The two first supports 13 are arranged in the vertical direction, and the top ends of the two first supports 13 are respectively connected to the two ends of the crossbeam 11 along the length direction of the crossbeam 11. The two second supports 15 are arranged in a direction with an angle not zero with the vertical direction, and the top ends of the two second supports 15 are respectively connected to the two ends of the crossbeam 11 along the length direction of the crossbeam 11.

[0069] In this way, the second support 15 can provide better support and impact resistance, while the first support 13 can reduce the floor space occupied by the frame 10 and improve space utilization.

[0070] Understandably, pipes usually move in the same direction, meaning the impact force on the frame 10 is usually in the same direction. Therefore, the second support 15 has a non-zero angle with the vertical direction, which can provide better support. The first support 13 bears less impact force and can be set in the vertical direction to reduce the floor space required by the frame 10 and improve space utilization.

[0071] This utility model embodiment also provides a pipe feeding device 1000, which includes a support member 200 and a pipe anti-piling device 100. A baffle member 30 is disposed above the support member 200 and is spaced apart from the support member 200. The specific structure of the pipe anti-piling device 100 is as described in the above embodiments. Since this pipe feeding device 1000 adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments.

[0072] In the pipe feeding device 1000 of this utility model embodiment, the baffle 30 can be used to block stacked pipes, allowing only flat pipes to pass through, thereby preventing stacked pipes from reaching the next process and affecting the processing effect of the next process. In addition, since the guide component 20 can guide the movement of the baffle 30 in the vertical direction, and the drive component 40 can drive the baffle 30 to move in the vertical direction, the relative position relationship between the baffle 30 and the frame 10 can be adjusted according to different pipe sizes to meet the anti-stacking requirements of more pipe sizes.

[0073] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
