Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of automatic packaging and loading equipment for pipes, and in particular to an online automatic packaging and loading device for small-diameter pipes. Background Technology
[0002] Based on market demand, our base's small-diameter pipes, such as D50 drainage pipes, D32 and D40 conduits, and PPR pipe products, are all packaged manually. This method involves high labor intensity, low efficiency, and waste of manpower.
[0003] The employee turnover survey revealed that the main reason for employee turnover was the need for short-distance back-and-forth handling of bundled pipes during packaging and loading. This resulted in excessive workload and numerous employee complaints. While automated bundling equipment has emerged to reduce this burden and meet market demand, consisting of a conveying module and a bundling module, the bundled pipes still require manual lifting or forklift handling to reach the loading platform, failing to fully address the issue. Therefore, a small-diameter pipe online automated packaging and loading device is needed to solve these problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems mentioned in the background section.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] An online automatic packaging and loading device for small-diameter pipes includes a transmission module and a strapping module. A lifting module is provided on one side of the strapping module. The lifting module includes a conveying platform. An electromechanical control box is provided on the left side of the conveying platform. A side frame is bolted to the back of the conveying platform. A servo motor is provided on the back of the top of the side frame, and a winding wheel is connected to the shaft end of the servo motor. A pull belt is wound on the surface of the winding wheel, and the pull belt is connected to the top of the guide wheel and the rod assembly. The guide wheel is installed on the top of the side frame through a groove. A flipping module is installed on the front of the rod assembly.
[0007] Preferably, the conveying platform is symmetrically equipped with side baffles on both sides, and the surface of the side baffles is provided with dividing grooves that are compatible with the flipping module. The dividing groove design on the side of the side baffles allows the lifting plate to move freely between the conveying platform and the side of the side baffles, and makes it easy to hide the lifting plate in the groove of the conveying platform under normal conditions.
[0008] Preferably, the rod assembly includes a lifting rod, with two pulleys symmetrically installed on the back of the lifting rod. The pulleys abut against the inner wall of the side frame through guide grooves, and the lifting rod can drive the pulleys to slide in the guide grooves of the side frame to ensure smooth lifting of the lifting rod.
[0009] Preferably, limit blocks are provided on both the left and right sides of the pulley, and a slider end is provided on the inner side of the limit block. The slider end is slidably embedded into the side of the side frame through a sliding groove. The sliding groove of the side frame guides and limits the slider end of the limit block to ensure the stability of the boom movement.
[0010] Preferably, the flipping module includes two lifting plates, which are movably mounted on the side of the boom and connected and fixed together by the boom ends, thus ensuring the synchronicity of the two lifting plates when they rotate.
[0011] Preferably, the lifting plate is built into the conveying platform through a groove, and the end of the lifting plate has a bent structure design. The bent structure design at the end of the lifting plate can prevent the pipe from slipping and falling during the lifting process on the surface of the lifting plate, thus achieving a restraining and limiting effect on the pipe.
[0012] Preferably, one of the lifting plate shaft ends is connected to a speed-changing gear, and the speed-changing gear meshes with a transmission gear. Both the transmission gear and the speed-changing gear are rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the gearbox. The top of the gearbox is connected and fixed to the rod assembly. One end of the transmission gear shaft passes through the gearbox and is connected and fixed to the drive motor. The drive motor is mounted on the bottom surface of the boom. Through the cooperation of the transmission gear and the speed-changing gear, the torque force during the rotation of the lifting plate can be changed, which facilitates the lifting and flipping of the bundled pipes and the autonomous flipping of the pipes to complete the pipe loading operation.
[0013] This utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:
[0014] 1. The servo motor of the lifting module drives the belt to lift and bundle the pipes, and the gears work together to automatically flip the pipes onto the vehicle. This completely replaces the heavy manual labor of short-distance handling and lifting pipes to the loading platform. The bending design at the end of the lifting plate can stably restrain the pipes. The drive motor provides high torque flipping force through the gears and transmission gears, so that employees do not need to participate in the handling process, fundamentally alleviating the problem of back injury and complaints caused by long-term labor.
[0015] 2. By setting up lifting and tilting modules, a continuous automated process of lifting and tilting the pipes onto the vehicle is formed. Specifically, the lifting module precisely lifts the pipes through guide wheels and rods, and the tilting action is synchronously controlled by the speed change gears and transmission gears in the gearbox to ensure stability. The equipment operating parameters can be programmed and adjusted according to production needs, which improves overall efficiency and reduces manual intervention, thus solving the problem of staff turnover.

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.
[0024] Reference Figure 1-5 An online automatic packaging and loading device for small-diameter pipes includes a transmission module 1 and a bundling module 2. A lifting module 3 is provided on one side of the bundling module 2. The lifting module 3 includes a conveying platform 31. An electromechanical control box 33 is provided on the left side of the conveying platform 31. A side stand 34 is bolted to the back of the conveying platform 31. A servo motor 35 is provided on the back of the top of the side stand 34. A take-up wheel 36 is connected to the shaft end of the servo motor 35. A pull belt 38 is wound on the surface of the take-up wheel 36. The pull belt 38 is connected to the top of the guide wheel 37 and the rod assembly 39. The guide wheel 37 is installed on the top of the side stand 34 through a groove. A flipping module 4 is installed on the front of the rod assembly 39.
[0025] Side baffles 32 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the conveyor platform 31, and the surface of the side baffles 32 is provided with dividing grooves that are compatible with the flipping module 4. The dividing groove design on the side of the side baffles 32 allows the lifting plate 41 to move freely between the conveyor platform 31 and the side baffles 32, making it easy to hide the lifting plate 41 in the groove of the conveyor platform 31 under normal conditions. The shaft speed and number of rotations of the drive motor 44 and the servo motor 35 can be controlled by programming through the electromechanical control box 33.
[0026] The rod assembly 39 includes a boom 391, with two pulleys 392 symmetrically mounted on its back. The pulleys 392 abut against the inner wall of the side support 34 via guide grooves. When the pull belt 38 lifts the boom 391, the boom 391 drives the pulleys 392 to slide within the guide grooves of the side support 34, ensuring smooth upward movement of the boom 391.
[0027] Limit blocks 393 are provided on both sides of the pulley 392. A slider end is provided inside the limit block 393, and the slider end is slidably embedded into the side of the side frame 34 via a sliding groove. When the boom 391 moves upward, it can be moved, and the slider end of the limit block 393 is guided and limited by the sliding groove of the side frame 34, ensuring the stability of the boom 391's movement.
[0028] The tilting module 4 includes two lifting plates 41, which are movably mounted on the side of the boom 391 and connected and fixed together by the boom ends. This connection ensures the synchronicity of the two lifting plates 41 during rotation. The coordinated operation of the two lifting plates 41 to tilt the pipe ensures stability during tilting and facilitates pipe loading.
[0029] The lifting plate 41 is embedded inside the conveying platform 31 via a groove, and its end has a bent structure design. This bent structure at the end of the lifting plate 41 prevents the pipe from slipping and falling during lifting, thus constraining and limiting the pipe. Normally, the lifting plate 41 is embedded in the groove of the conveying platform 31, preventing any impact on pipe feeding.
[0030] One of the lifting plates 41 has a transmission gear 42 connected to its shaft end. The transmission gear 42 meshes with a drive gear 43. Both the drive gear 43 and the transmission gear 42 are rotatably mounted on the inner wall of a gearbox 45. The top of the gearbox 45 is connected and fixed to the rod assembly 39. One end of the drive gear 43's shaft passes through the gearbox 45 and is connected and fixed to a drive motor 44, which is mounted on the bottom surface of the boom 391. Through the cooperation of the drive gear 43 and the transmission gear 42, the torque force during the rotation of the lifting plate 41 can be changed, facilitating the lifting and flipping of the bundled pipes. This allows for autonomous flipping of the pipes, completing the pipe loading operation and effectively reducing the labor intensity of employees. The transmission gear 42 and the drive gear 43 are built into the gearbox 45, which protects them and reduces the probability of debris entering between the teeth of the transmission gear 42 and the drive gear 43 and causing interference.
[0031] Working principle: According to the appendix Figure 2 With appendix Figure 3 As shown, after the pipes are cut, they are automatically flipped into the counting device. When the preset number is reached, the pipes fall into the pipe-pushing groove of the transmission module 1. Through the design of the action flow and program, the pipes are aligned. The binding distance is set according to different lengths. An intermittent shaking device is designed and installed below the pipe-falling groove to achieve a 3-4-3 shape according to the groove shape. A straw rope binding module 2 is designed and installed at the end of the pipe-pushing groove. Through parameter setting, the pipes are bound three times at different intervals. After binding, the pipes can be moved to the surface of the conveying platform 31 with the cooperation of the upper wheel group of the binding module 2. At this time, the servo motor 35 starts. The shaft end of motor 35 can drive take-up wheel 36 to take up the winding, which in turn drives pull belt 38 to take up the winding. The pull belt 38 is controlled to move on the surface of guide wheel 37. During the pullback, pull belt 38 can drive boom 391 to lift. Boom 391 can drive pulley 392 to move upward in guide groove of side frame 34. At this time, the inner slider end of limit block 393 can move in the side slide groove of side frame 34 to ensure the stability of boom 391 during upward movement. During the movement of boom 391, it can drive tilting module 4 to move upward. At this time, tilting module 4 can lift the bundled pipes on the surface of conveying platform 31 to achieve the lifting operation of pipes.
[0032] Secondly, according to the appendix Figure 4As shown, the drive motor 44 can be started, and the shaft end of the drive motor 44 drives the transmission gear 43 and the speed change gear 42 to rotate, increasing the rotational torque. This causes the speed change gear 42 to drive the lifting plate 41 to rotate. During rotation, the lifting plate 41 can flip the pipe, allowing it to pass over the top of the side stand 34 and fall onto the loading platform, effectively reducing the labor intensity of employees. This device achieves fully automated operation, reduces manual intervention, operates stably, occupies a small space, and its operating efficiency can be adjusted according to the production speed.
