Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steel pipe conveying technology, specifically an automated mobile device for steel pipe processing. Background Technology

[0002] In the steel pipe production process, after rolling, the pipes are conveyed via roller conveyors, then cut before being shipped out. Steel pipe processing and conveying is a crucial link in the production process, involving automated and efficient handling and transfer from raw materials to finished products. Automated conveying devices can operate continuously 24 hours a day, significantly increasing production cycle time. By reducing human intervention, production interruptions due to fatigue or operational errors are avoided, manual handling is replaced, and human involvement in high-risk processes is reduced, lowering the accident rate. Simultaneously, labor costs are reduced, and production safety is improved.

[0003] In existing technologies, such as the steel pipe loading and unloading structure disclosed in CN222433262U, a loading box and a conveyor belt are included. The conveyor belt is driven by a stepper motor and supported by a frame. The conveyor belt is located in the middle of the frame, and the stepper motor is located at the bottom of the frame. A guide bin is provided at the top of the loading box, and the upper end of the guide bin is funnel-shaped. The diameter of the through groove in the middle of the guide bin is adapted to the outer diameter of the steel pipe. The outer surface of the conveyor belt is provided with positioning blocks for separating the steel pipes. One end of the outer surface of the loading box is provided with a mounting plate, and a cylinder is installed inside the mounting plate. By using a stepper motor to drive the conveyor belt, it realizes automatic loading and unloading of steel pipes, improves production efficiency, reduces labor costs, and reduces the risk of workplace injuries caused by manual operation. The positioning blocks on the conveyor belt can effectively control the spacing of the steel pipes, ensuring the stability and safety of the steel pipes during the conveying process.

[0004] The existing equipment uses a stepper motor to drive the conveyor belt, which realizes the automatic loading and unloading of steel pipes and improves production efficiency. However, when using it, the rigidity is obviously insufficient and the synchronization is poor when using a large number of large-sized steel pipes. This makes it inconvenient to transport the steel pipes. Utility Model Content

[0014] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the driving mechanism includes a drive motor, which is fixed to the outer surface of the fixing frame by bolts, and the power output shaft of the drive motor is fixed with a drive gear.

[0027] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0028] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single embodiment or an embodiment selectively excluded from other embodiments.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] Please see Figures 1-5 This is the first embodiment of the present utility model. This embodiment provides an automated mobile device for steel pipe processing, including a device base 1, a fixed frame 2 fixed on the upper surface of the device base 1, a conveying mechanism for conveying steel pipes on the upper surface of the fixed frame 2, and a driving mechanism for driving the device on one side of the fixed frame 2.

[0031] The conveying mechanism includes a fixed step distance component 3, which is placed on the upper surface of the fixed frame 2. The side wall of the fixed step distance component 3 is movably connected to a movable step distance component 31. The upper surfaces of both the movable step distance component 31 and the fixed step distance component 3 are provided with a number of step distance grooves 32 at equal intervals.

[0032] Specifically, a connector 33 is fixed to the lower end of the fixed step member 3, and a slot 34 opened on the fixed frame 2 is inserted and connected to the lower part of the connector 33.

[0033] Furthermore, with the cooperation of the slot 34, the fixed pitch component 3 can be disassembled.

[0034] Specifically, a connecting plate 35 is welded horizontally to the side wall of the movable step component 31, and two sets of fixing bolts 36 are installed inside the connecting plate 35.

[0035] Furthermore, by unscrewing the fixing bolts 36 on the connecting plate 35, the connecting plate 35 can be disassembled, thereby facilitating the disassembly and replacement of the fixed step distance component 3 and the movable step distance component 31.

[0036] Specifically, the lower surface of the connecting plate 35 is connected to a movable part 37 that is threadedly connected to the fixing bolt 36, and the side wall of the fixing frame 2 is equipped with three limiting bolts 4 that abut against the side wall of the connecting part 33.

[0037] Furthermore, by unscrewing the limiting bolt 4 through the connecting piece 33 provided on the fixed step distance piece 3, the fixing of the fixed step distance piece 3 can be released.

[0038] In use, the movable stepper 31 moves vertically, and the stepper groove 32 on the movable stepper 31 contacts the steel pipe, pushing the steel pipe upward. As the movable stepper 31 is driven to move horizontally, the steel pipe is pushed upward and can be conveyed forward, so that the steel pipe is conveyed into the stepper groove 32 in front, realizing the stepper conveying function. The fixed rod 54 set on the reduction gear 52 and the driven gear 53 can ensure the stability of the gear rotation, and the device can be assembled in multiple horizontal directions, which facilitates the stepper conveying of steel pipes of different lengths with good synchronization effect. By unscrewing the limit bolt 4 through the connector 33 set on the fixed stepper 3, the fixed stepper 3 can be released. With the cooperation of the slot 34, the fixed stepper 3 can be disassembled. And by unscrewing the fixed bolt 36 on the connecting plate 35, the connecting plate 35 can be disassembled, which makes it convenient to disassemble and replace the fixed stepper 3 and the movable stepper 31, which is convenient for conveying steel pipes of different diameters.

[0039] In summary, the automated mobile device for steel pipe processing can be assembled in multiple horizontal directions during use, which facilitates the step-by-step conveying of steel pipes of different lengths with good synchronization. With the cooperation of the slot 34, the fixed step-by-step component 3 can be disassembled, which makes it convenient to disassemble and replace the fixed step-by-step component 3 and the movable step-by-step component 31.

[0040] Example 2

[0041] Please see Figures 1-5 This is the second embodiment of the present utility model.

[0042] Specifically, the drive mechanism includes a drive motor 5, which is fixed to the outer surface of the mounting bracket 2 by bolts, and the power output shaft of the drive motor 5 is fixed with a drive gear 51.

[0043] Furthermore, the drive motor 5 drives the drive gear 51 to rotate, thereby driving the equipment to transport the steel pipe.

[0044] Specifically, the outer surface of the driving gear 51 is meshed with two reduction gears 52, and one side of each reduction gear 52 is meshed with a driven gear 53.

[0045] Furthermore, the driving gear 51 drives the reduction gear 52 to mesh with the driven gear 53 and rotate, and when the driven gear 53 rotates, it drives the transmission rod 55 to move.

[0046] Specifically, both the driven gear 53 and the reduction gear 52 have a fixed rod 54 that is rotatably connected to the fixed frame 2 inside. The driven gear 53 has a transmission rod 55 fixed to its side wall. The end of the transmission rod 55 is fitted with a fixed bearing 56 that is embedded inside the movable part 37.

[0047] Furthermore, with the cooperation of the fixed bearing 56, when the transmission rod 55 moves, it will drive the movable part 37 to move vertically, thereby pushing the movable stepping part 31 to move vertically in sync.

[0048] In use, the device base 1 is placed in a suitable position and can be fixed with bolts to ensure the stability of the fixing frame 2. In use, the steel pipe is in the step groove 32 in the fixed step member 3. The drive motor 5 is started to drive the drive gear 51 to rotate, so that the drive gear 51 drives the reduction gear 52 to mesh with the driven gear 53 to rotate. When the driven gear 53 rotates, it drives the transmission rod 55 to move. With the cooperation of the fixed bearing 56, the movement of the transmission rod 55 will drive the movable part 37 to move vertically, thereby pushing the movable step member 31 to move vertically in sync.

[0049] In summary, the automated moving device for steel pipe processing can be assembled in multiple horizontal directions during use, which facilitates the step-by-step conveying of steel pipes of different lengths with good synchronization. With the cooperation of the slot 34, the fixed step-by-step component 3 can be disassembled, which facilitates the disassembly and replacement of the fixed step-by-step component 3 and the movable step-by-step component 31. When the movable step-by-step component 31 moves vertically, the step groove 32 on the movable step-by-step component 31 will contact the steel pipe, pushing the steel pipe upward. The movable step-by-step component 31 is driven to move horizontally, so that the steel pipe can be conveyed forward after being pushed upward.
