Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of steel pipe processing, and relates to a device for assisting steel pipe turning. Background Technology
[0002] In the process of steel pipe turning, traditional turning equipment usually only has basic turning functions. The unloading and receiving process after the steel pipe is turned is cumbersome and often requires manual operation, which is not only inefficient but also poses certain safety hazards. At the same time, the chips generated during the turning process are easy to adhere to the surface of the steel pipe, affecting the quality of the steel pipe, and the collection of chips is also inconvenient. In addition, the accuracy of the turning operation is also affected in the working environment with insufficient light. Therefore, in order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution of this application is proposed. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a device that assists in the turning of steel pipes, solving the problems of inconvenient unloading and receiving of materials, improper chip handling, and insufficient light affecting the machining accuracy in the existing steel pipe turning process.
[0004] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows:
[0005] A device for assisting in the turning of steel pipes includes a base, on which a turning tool and a three-jaw chuck are connected. The feed end of the three-jaw chuck is provided with a V-shaped positioning groove for placing the steel pipe. A pushing mechanism is connected to the base, which includes a first telescopic cylinder. The working end of the first telescopic cylinder is flush with the V-shaped positioning groove and close to the feed end of the three-jaw chuck. A receiving mechanism is also connected to the base, which includes a second telescopic cylinder. The working end of the second telescopic cylinder is also flush with the V-shaped positioning groove and close to the discharge end of the three-jaw chuck. An air gun for blowing away debris attached to the steel pipe after turning is also connected to the base. The air inlet of the air gun is connected to an air supply pipe. A lighting component for illumination is connected to the base.
[0006] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: First, the steel pipe to be processed is placed in the V-shaped positioning groove at the feed end of the three-jaw chuck. The steel pipe is clamped by the three-jaw chuck to achieve positioning and fixation of the steel pipe, preparing it for turning. Then, the turning tool starts to work and turns the steel pipe fixed on the three-jaw chuck. During the turning process, the lighting component connected to the base provides illumination to ensure that the operator can clearly observe the turning situation and ensure the processing accuracy and quality.
[0007] After the steel pipe is machined, the first telescopic cylinder in the pushing mechanism is activated, and its working end extends and is flush with the V-shaped positioning groove, pushing the machined steel pipe out of the three-jaw chuck. At this time, the working end of the second telescopic cylinder of the receiving mechanism is also flush with the V-shaped positioning groove, catching the steel pipe pushed out of the three-jaw chuck in time to prevent the steel pipe from falling and causing damage or safety hazards.
[0008] In addition, during the turning and ejection of the steel pipe, the air gun on the base works continuously. Its air inlet is connected to the air supply pipe, and the airflow generated blows away the debris attached to the steel pipe after turning, avoiding the accumulation of debris from affecting the machining accuracy and equipment operation. It also helps to keep the working environment clean.
[0009] Furthermore, the working end of the second telescopic cylinder is connected to an adjustable length fixed rod. By adjusting the length of the fixed rod, the working end of the second telescopic cylinder can be easily adjusted, thereby facilitating the collection of steel pipes of different lengths.
[0010] Furthermore, both the first telescopic cylinder and the second telescopic cylinder are connected to the base via cylinder mounting seats. The cylinder mounting seats are adjustablely mounted on the base so that the positions of the first telescopic cylinder and the second telescopic cylinder can be adjusted according to actual needs.
[0011] Furthermore, the lighting assembly includes multiple LED lights, which are distributed and mounted on the base to provide all-around illumination and ensure sufficient light in the turning operation area.
[0012] Furthermore, multiple LED lights are connected to the power supply via a single wire, and the wire is equipped with adjustment buttons to adjust the brightness of all LED lights. This design allows for machining of the steel pipe at different times.
[0013] Furthermore, the air gun is mounted on the base by a fixing clamp. The air pipe fixing clamp can adjust the angle of the air gun so as to more effectively blow away the debris on the surface of the steel pipe. At the same time, it is also convenient for workers to manually use the air gun to blow away the debris on the three-jaw chuck and the working end of the second cylinder.
[0014] Furthermore, a collection box for collecting debris is also connected to the base. The collection box is detachably connected to the base, making it easy to clean the debris inside the collection box and keep the working environment clean.
[0015] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0016] 1. A device for assisting in the turning of steel pipes, comprising a pushing mechanism and a receiving mechanism, which realizes automatic unloading and receiving of steel pipes after turning, thereby improving processing efficiency, reducing manual operation, and reducing safety hazards;
[0017] 2. In this utility model, the air gun and collection box can clean the debris on the surface of the steel pipe in a timely manner and collect the debris, which ensures the processing quality of the steel pipe and also helps to maintain the cleanliness of the working environment.
[0018] 3. In this utility model, the lighting component can provide sufficient illumination in working environments with insufficient light, thereby improving the accuracy of turning operations;
[0019] 4. In this utility model, the adjustable fixing rod at the working end of the second telescopic cylinder can adapt to the collection of steel pipes of different lengths, thus improving the versatility of the device;
[0020] 5. In this utility model, the positions of the first telescopic cylinder and the second telescopic cylinder are adjustable, the angle of the air gun is adjustable, and the collection box is detachable, which enables the device to better meet different processing needs and make operation more flexible and convenient.

[0028] Example 1
[0029] This utility model relates to a device for assisting in the turning of steel pipes, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the system includes a base 1, on which a turning tool 2 and a three-jaw chuck 3 are connected. The feed end of the three-jaw chuck 3 is provided with a V-shaped positioning groove 4 for placing steel pipes. A pushing mechanism is connected to the base 1, which includes a first telescopic cylinder 5. The working end of the first telescopic cylinder 5 is flush with the V-shaped positioning groove 4 and close to the feed end of the three-jaw chuck 3. A receiving mechanism is also connected to the base 1, which includes a second telescopic cylinder 6. The working end of the second telescopic cylinder 6 is also flush with the V-shaped positioning groove 4 and close to the discharge end of the three-jaw chuck 3. An air gun 7 is also connected to the base 1 for blowing away the debris attached to the steel pipe after turning. The air inlet of the air gun 7 is connected to an air supply pipe 8. A lighting component is also connected to the base 1.
[0030] The working end of the second telescopic cylinder 6 is connected to a fixed rod 9 with an adjustable length.
[0031] The first telescopic cylinder 5 and the second telescopic cylinder 6 are both connected to the base 1 via cylinder mounting base 10, which is adjustablely mounted on the base 1.
[0032] The lighting assembly includes multiple LED lights 11, which are distributed and mounted on the base 1.
[0033] Multiple LED lights 11 are connected to a power source via a wire, and an adjustment button 12 is provided on the wire to adjust the brightness of all LED lights 11.
[0034] The air gun 7 is mounted on the base 1 via a fixing clip 13.
[0035] A collection box 14 for collecting debris is also connected to the base 1, and the collection box 14 is detachably connected to the base 1.
[0036] The specific implementation method of this embodiment is as follows: a turning tool and a three-jaw chuck are fixedly installed on the base. The V-shaped positioning groove at the feed end of the three-jaw chuck is used to place the steel pipe, which can perform preliminary positioning of the steel pipe and facilitate clamping by the three-jaw chuck.
[0037] The first telescopic cylinder of the pushing mechanism is mounted on the base through a cylinder mounting seat. The position of the cylinder mounting seat can be adjusted on the base to adapt to different processing requirements. After the steel pipe is turned, the first telescopic cylinder works, and its working end is flush with the V-shaped positioning groove to push the steel pipe out from inside the three-jaw chuck.
[0038] The second telescopic cylinder of the receiving mechanism is also mounted on the base via a cylinder mounting seat, and the working end of the second telescopic cylinder is connected to an adjustable length fixing rod. When receiving materials, the position of the working end of the second telescopic cylinder is adjusted by adjusting the length of the fixing rod, so that it can receive steel pipes of different lengths pushed out from the three-jaw chuck.
[0039] The air gun is mounted on the base by a fixing clip, which can adjust the angle of the air gun. The air inlet of the air gun is connected to the air supply pipe. When working, the air supply pipe supplies air to the air gun, which blows away the debris attached to the steel pipe after machining. The debris falls into the collection box under the action of gravity. The collection box is detachably connected to the base for easy regular cleaning.
[0040] The lighting unit consists of multiple LED lights, distributed and mounted on the base, which can provide sufficient and uniform illumination to ensure that turning operations are carried out under good lighting conditions.
[0041] Example 2
[0042] This utility model discloses an auxiliary device for turning steel pipes. The specific implementation of this embodiment is as follows:
[0043] In actual production at the steel pipe processing plant, a batch of steel pipes of different lengths (20-50cm) and outer diameters of 50mm need to be machined. First, the operator adjusts the clamping force of the three-jaw chuck according to the outer diameter of the steel pipe and places the steel pipe in the V-shaped positioning groove. The anti-slip rubber pads and raised textures on the wall of the V-shaped positioning groove effectively prevent the steel pipe from sliding. Then, the three-jaw chuck clamps the steel pipe. The turning tool is started to perform turning. During the process, LED lights distributed on the base provide sufficient lighting to ensure turning accuracy.
[0044] After the turning is completed, the first telescopic cylinder operates, and its working end pushes the steel pipe out of the three-jaw chuck. At this time, the operator adjusts the length of the fixing rod at the working end of the second telescopic cylinder according to the length of the steel pipe, so that the working end of the second telescopic cylinder accurately catches the steel pipe and completes the unloading and receiving of materials.
[0045] After unloading, the air supply pipe supplies air to the air gun. The operator adjusts the air pipe clamp and the angle of the air gun to blow the debris from the steel pipe surface into the collection box. The shock-absorbing rubber blocks at the bottom of the base effectively absorb the vibration during turning, pushing, and receiving, ensuring stable operation of the device. After processing, the collection box can be disassembled to clean out the debris for future use.
[0046] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made by those skilled in the art within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
