[0002] In the modern manufacturing sector, stainless steel pipe fittings are widely used in industries such as building decoration, food processing, and medical devices. Their processing efficiency and precision directly affect the production benefits of enterprises.

[0003] The existing patent document CN212607864U discloses a feeding device for stainless steel pipe production. This utility model places the material placement platform on the discharge end of the pipe rolling mechanism and aligns it so that the cut steel pipes fall onto the conveyor belt. Inspectors can check the welds of the steel pipes one by one. Finally, the steel pipes fall onto the shock-absorbing frame on the feeding trolley and are slowly moved down and stacked to reduce the impact force of the steel pipes. This entire device allows inspectors to inspect smoothly and easily, and also saves transportation personnel physical strength and time in transporting the steel pipes.

[0004] However, existing automatic feeding mechanisms for stainless steel pipe fittings processing are not convenient for effectively limiting and guiding the pipe fittings. When the pipe fittings are subjected to vibration or inertia during transportation, they are prone to deviation, overturning or even slipping, causing the feeding path to deviate from the preset track. This not only affects the processing accuracy but may also cause equipment failure and safety accidents, seriously restricting production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0024] 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.

[0025] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 4 The present invention provides a technical solution: an automatic feeding mechanism for processing stainless steel pipe fittings, including a frame 1, a conveyor belt 2 is provided on the inner side of the frame 1, two limiting side plates 3 are symmetrically arranged above the conveyor belt 2, and Y-shaped grooves 4 are opened on the opposite surfaces of the two limiting side plates 3, and a rectangular groove 5 is provided on the opposite surface at the bottom end of the Y-shaped groove 4, and the rectangular groove 5 is connected to the Y-shaped groove 4.

[0026] During the descent of the pipe fitting, it first contacts the Y-shaped groove 4 on the limiting side plate 3. The unique bifurcated structure of the Y-shaped groove 4 can quickly guide and gather the pipe fitting, so that it can be accurately positioned and fall onto the surface of the conveyor belt 2. Then, the pipe fitting enters the rectangular groove 5 that is connected to the Y-shaped groove 4. The rectangular groove 5, with the limiting space formed by the two side walls, effectively restricts the lateral displacement of the pipe fitting, ensuring that it maintains a stable posture throughout the transportation process and preventing deviation and jamming.

[0027] A drive motor 6 is mounted on one side of the frame 1. The transmission end of the drive motor 6 passes through the side wall of the frame 1 and is fixedly connected to a drive roller 7. The end of the drive roller 7 away from the drive motor 6 is connected to the frame 1 via a bearing. Inside the frame 1, on the side away from the drive roller 7, a driven roller 8 is connected via a bearing. The conveyor belt 2 covers the outside of the drive roller 7 and the driven roller 8. Support columns 9 are set at the four corners of the upper surface of the frame 1. A rectangular frame 10 is set on the top of the support columns 9. A mounting groove 11 is opened on one side of the upper surface of the rectangular frame 10. A drive motor 12 is installed inside the mounting groove 11 on one side. A bidirectional lead screw 13 is fixedly connected to the transmission end of the motor 12. The end of the bidirectional lead screw 13 away from the transmission motor 12 is connected to the mounting groove 11 through a bearing. An internal thread slider 14 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the bidirectional lead screw 13. The internal thread slider 14 is slidably engaged with the mounting groove 11. The internal thread slider 14 is fixed to one side of the limiting side plate 3. A support slider 15 is fixedly connected to the side of the limiting side plate 3 away from the internal thread slider 14. A support groove 16 is provided on the upper surface of the rectangular frame 10 away from the mounting groove 11. The support slider 15 is slidably engaged with the support groove 16.

[0028] When using this device for feeding stainless steel pipe fittings, the drive motor 6 is started, and its transmission end drives the active roller 7 to rotate. Under the action of friction, the active roller 7 drives the conveyor belt 2, which covers the outside of it and the driven roller 8, to rotate in a cycle, thereby providing the stainless steel pipe fittings with the power to transport them from one end of the frame 1 to the other. When it is necessary to transport pipe fittings of different specifications, the drive motor 12 is started, and the drive motor 12 drives the bidirectional lead screw 13 to rotate. Since the bidirectional lead screw 13 and the internal thread slider 14 are connected by threads, the internal thread slider 14 slides along the mounting groove 11 under the action of thread transmission. At the same time, the limiting side plate 3, which is fixedly connected to the internal thread slider 14, moves accordingly. The support slider 15 on the other side of the limiting side plate 3 slides synchronously in the support groove 16 to ensure smooth movement. Through the bidirectional transmission of the bidirectional lead screw 13, the two limiting side plates 3 can move closer or further away synchronously, thereby flexibly adjusting the distance between the Y-groove 4 and the rectangular groove 5 to adapt to stainless steel pipe fittings of different specifications and achieve precise feeding.

[0029] Working Principle: When using this device for feeding stainless steel pipe fittings, the drive motor 6 is started, and its transmission end drives the active roller 7 to rotate. Under the action of friction, the active roller 7 drives the conveyor belt 2, which covers the outside of it and the driven roller 8, to rotate in a cycle, thereby providing the stainless steel pipe fittings with the power to be transported from one end of the frame 1 to the other. During the falling process of the pipe fittings, they first come into contact with the Y-shaped groove 4 on the limiting side plate 3. The unique bifurcated structure of the Y-shaped groove 4 can quickly guide and gather the pipe fittings initially, so that they are accurately positioned and fall onto the surface of the conveyor belt 2. After that, the pipe fittings enter the rectangular groove 5 that is connected to the Y-shaped groove 4. The rectangular groove 5, with the limiting space formed by the two side walls, effectively restricts the lateral displacement of the pipe fittings, ensuring that they remain stable throughout the transportation process. Maintaining a stable posture and preventing deviation or jamming, when different specifications of pipe fittings need to be conveyed, the drive motor 12 is started, and the drive motor 12 drives the bidirectional lead screw 13 to rotate. Since the bidirectional lead screw 13 and the internal thread slider 14 are connected by threads, the internal thread slider 14 slides along the mounting groove 11 under the action of thread transmission. At the same time, the limiting side plate 3, which is fixedly connected to the internal thread slider 14, moves accordingly. The support slider 15 on the other side of the limiting side plate 3 slides synchronously in the support groove 16, ensuring smooth movement. Through the bidirectional transmission of the bidirectional lead screw 13, the two limiting side plates 3 can move closer or further away synchronously, thereby flexibly adjusting the distance between the Y-shaped groove 4 and the rectangular groove 5 to adapt to different specifications of stainless steel pipe fittings and achieve precise feeding.

[0030] Finally, it should be noted that the above content is only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Simple modifications or equivalent substitutions made by those skilled in the art to the technical solution of this utility model do not depart from the essence and scope of the technical solution of this utility model.
