Although some mechanical equipment can vibrate and align scattered pipe fittings, when these pipe fittings are vibrated and sorted on the vibrating tray, they can only ensure that many pipe fittings are placed straight, but cannot keep the beginning and end of many pipe fittings neat, and cannot quickly collect the sorted pipe fittings. Utility Model Content

Specifically, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a metal tube combing machine to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that when combing existing tubes, they can usually only keep the tubes straight and cannot more precisely align the ends of the tubes.

[0029] 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.

[0030] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a metal tube combing machine, including a mounting frame 1, on which a tube box 2 and a reciprocating drive assembly 4 are arranged. The tube box 2 is in sliding contact with the mounting frame 1 through a guide mechanism 3. The reciprocating drive assembly 4 is connected to the tube box 2 and is used to drive the tube box 2 to slide back and forth on the mounting frame 1, thereby causing the tube box 2 to vibrate back and forth on the mounting frame 1, so that the tubes in the tube box 2 are gradually combed and aligned under the action of vibration.

[0031] The reciprocating drive assembly 4 includes a drive motor 401 mounted on the mounting frame 1. A flywheel mechanism is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 401. A fixed plate 406 is connected to the lower end of the tube box 2. The flywheel mechanism is connected to the fixed plate 406. The drive motor 401 drives the fixed plate 406 to reciprocate on the horizontal plane through the flywheel mechanism.

[0032] The tube placement box 2 is divided into multiple placement slots 203 by a grid plate 202.

[0033] In this embodiment, the flywheel mechanism includes a reducer 402 mounted on the mounting frame 1. The reducer 402 is a gear reducer with an input shaft and an output shaft. A turntable 404 is connected to the output shaft of the reducer 402, and a first pin is connected to the side of the turntable 404 near the edge.

[0034] A second pin is connected to the side of the fixed plate 406. A rotating rod 405 is sleeved on both the first and second pins, and the two ends of the rotating rod 405 are rotatably connected to the first and second pins respectively.

[0035] The output shaft of the drive motor 401 is connected to the input end of the reducer 402 via a belt mechanism 403.

[0036] In this embodiment, the belt mechanism 403 includes a drive wheel sleeved on the output shaft of the drive motor 401, a driven wheel sleeved on the input shaft of the reducer 402, and a transmission belt sleeved on both the drive wheel and the driven wheel.

[0037] In this embodiment, the tube placement box 2 includes a fixed bucket 204, the bottom of which slides in contact with the placement frame 1 via a guide mechanism 3.

[0038] A movable ring 201 is provided inside the fixed bucket 204, and the movable ring 201 is movably connected to the fixed bucket 204. The movable ring 201 is divided into multiple placement slots 203 by a grid plate 202. The length of the placement slot 203 is slightly greater than the length of the pipe fitting so that the pipe fitting can fall into the placement slot 203. The bottom of the movable ring 201 is flush with the bottom of the grid plate 202. The length direction of the placement slot 203 is consistent with the moving direction of the pipe placement box 2.

[0039] In this embodiment, the guiding mechanism 3 includes a guide rod 301 horizontally arranged on the mounting frame 1, and a sliding sleeve 302 connected to the bottom of the fixed bucket 204, and the sliding sleeve 302 is slidably sleeved on the guide rod 301.

[0040] Working principle: When using this metal tube combing machine, firstly, a large number of messy tubes are placed in the tube box 2 and placed on the grid plate 202. Then, the drive motor 401 is turned on, the output shaft of the drive motor 401 rotates, and the power is input to the input shaft of the reducer 402 through the belt mechanism 403. The reducer 402 drives the turntable 404 to rotate, and the turntable 404 drives the first pin on it to rotate about the central axis of the rotating shaft 404. The first pin 404 drives the rotating rod 405 connected to it to rotate about the central axis of the turntable 404.

[0041] Under the guidance of the guide mechanism 3, the tube box 2 and the fixed plate 406 can only move on the horizontal plane. During the rotation of the turntable 404, the rotating rod 405 drives the fixed plate 406 to reciprocate on the horizontal plane, thereby converting the circular motion of the turntable 404 into a linear drive on the fixed plate 406, so as to realize the reciprocating sliding of the tube box 2 on the horizontal plane. As the tube box 2 reciprocates on the horizontal plane, the tubes inside the tube box 2 vibrate continuously.

[0042] The shaking or vibration injects energy into the pipe system, breaking the static friction between the pipes. The chaotic state that was originally stuck due to friction is replaced by dynamic movement. Long, cylindrical pipes are more likely to roll or slide along their long axis during vibration, while lateral movement is subject to greater resistance. This asymmetry causes the pipes to gradually adjust to a state where their long axis is aligned with the direction of vibration, thus allowing numerous pipes to gradually maintain their order and fall into the placement slots 203. This enables the pipes to gradually become orderly and evenly distributed in multiple placement slots 203 from a chaotic and disordered state.

[0043] Afterwards, the operator turns off the drive motor 401. The operator can then directly remove the neatly arranged pipes from the placement slot 203, or separate the movable ring 201 from the fixed hopper 204 and then remove the neatly arranged pipes from the fixed hopper 204, thus facilitating the collection of the aligned pipes.

[0044] 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.
