Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of hoisting technology, and specifically relates to a pipe material segmentation hoisting device. Background Technology
[0002] A material hoist is a mechanical device that uses electricity to lift pipes vertically or inclined from a low position to a high position through a transmission mechanism such as a chain, belt, or steel cable. Its core function is to replace manual handling and achieve efficient and continuous conveying of pipes.
[0003] However, there is a common problem in the process of feeding pipe materials through the feeding elevator, especially for hollow pipe materials: it is difficult to ensure that the pipe materials are stacked flat, and they are prone to cross tilting. This can easily cause the pipe materials to jam each other during feeding, or even cause damage, deformation and bending of the pipe materials themselves, which seriously affects the conveying efficiency and safe operation of the equipment. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned problems in the existing technology by proposing a segmented lifting device for pipe materials. The technical problem to be solved by this invention is: how to effectively reduce the risk of material jamming and damage during feeding.
[0005] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solution: a pipe material segmentation lifting device, including a hopper, a hoist, and a slide rail. The hopper is used to hold pipe materials, the hoist is disposed in the hopper and is used to lift the pipe materials, and the slide rail is inclinedly disposed in the hopper and is used to guide the pipe materials in the hopper to the hoist. The device also includes a segmentation device located in the hopper. The segmentation device is used to restrict the pipe materials at the bottom of the hopper from moving them away from the hoist. When the pipe materials in the hopper are below a certain height, the segmentation device releases the restriction on the pipe materials at the bottom of the hopper, allowing the pipe materials to move closer to the hoist along the slide rail.
[0006] In the above-mentioned pipe material segmentation and lifting equipment, the segmentation device includes a driving component and a baffle plate. The driving component is installed on the elevator and is used to drive the baffle plate to move to a corresponding position to block the pipe material at the bottom of the hopper or drive the baffle plate to move and reset so that it is disengaged from the pipe material at the bottom of the hopper, thereby allowing the pipe material to move along the slide and approach the elevator.
[0007] In the aforementioned pipe segmentation lifting device, the driving component includes a housing, a driving cylinder rotatably disposed within the housing, a fisheye connector, a linkage rod, two first hinge rods, two second hinge rods, and two slidably disposed connecting rods. The output end of the driving cylinder is connected to the fisheye connector, the fisheye connector is rotatably connected to the linkage rod, one end of the linkage rod is rotatably connected to one end of the corresponding first hinge rod, the other end of the first hinge rod is rotatably connected to the housing, the other end of the linkage rod is rotatably connected to one end of the corresponding second hinge rod, the other end of the second hinge rod is rotatably connected to the corresponding connecting rod, and both connecting rods are connected to the baffle plate.
[0008] In the above-mentioned pipe material segmentation lifting equipment, the elevator is slidably disposed in the hopper, and the elevator is driven to slide by a drive module.
[0009] In the above-mentioned pipe material segmentation and lifting equipment, the hopper includes a baffle plate one and a baffle plate two. There are at least two slide rails respectively arranged on the baffle plate one and the baffle plate two. The baffle plate one is slidably arranged and can move closer to or further away from the baffle plate two. The baffle plate one is driven to slide by the drive module two.
[0010] In the above-mentioned pipe material segmentation lifting device, the feeding lifting device also includes a support frame, which is slidably disposed between the first baffle and the second baffle, and the support frame is provided with a slide rail.
[0011] In the above-mentioned pipe material segmentation and lifting equipment, the number of the hoist, the segmentation device and the drive module are all two and the three correspond to each other.
[0012] In summary, the beneficial effects of this utility model compared to the prior art are as follows:
[0013] The segmented device restricts the pipe material at the bottom of the hopper away from the elevator. When the elevator lifts the pipe material, it first lifts the pipe material above the hopper. As the pipe material continues to rise, the height of the pipe material in the hopper continuously decreases. When the pipe material in the hopper is below a certain height, the segmented device releases the restriction on the pipe material at the bottom of the hopper, allowing it to move along the slide towards the elevator. Then, the elevator lifts this part of the pipe material. This achieves segmented lifting of the pipe material in the hopper. Segmented lifting of the pipe material reduces mutual collision and interference between pipe materials, maintains a relatively orderly distribution of pipe materials, reduces the possibility of pipe materials crossing and tilting, and reduces the squeezing and friction between pipe materials, which can effectively reduce the risk of jamming and damage during feeding.

[0019] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.
[0020] A type of pipe segment lifting equipment, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, it includes a hopper 1, an elevator 2, a chute 3, and a segmentation device 4.
[0021] The hopper 1 is used to hold pipe materials. In this embodiment, the hopper 1 includes a first baffle 11 and a second baffle 12, which are distributed at intervals.
[0022] The elevator 2 is installed inside the hopper 1. The elevator 2 is used to lift the pipe material. In this embodiment, the elevator 2 can be a plate chain elevator in the prior art. The elevator 2 has a number of inter-tooth teeth, and the inter-tooth teeth have inter-tooth openings to accommodate the pipe material.
[0023] The slide 3 is inclinedly installed in the hopper 1. The slide 3 is inclined from high to low and points towards the elevator 2. Preferably, there are at least two slides 3 and they are respectively installed on the baffle 11 and the baffle 2. The slide 3 is used to guide the pipe material in the hopper 1 to the elevator 2. That is, the pipe material is supported and guided by the inclined slide 3, so that the pipe material can slide along the slide 3 and approach the elevator 2 until the pipe material enters the toothed groove on the elevator 2.
[0024] The segmentation device 4 is located inside the silo 1. The segmentation device 4 is used to restrict the pipe material at the bottom of the silo 1 and keep it away from the elevator 2. When the pipe material in the silo 1 is lower than a certain height, the segmentation device 4 releases the restriction on the pipe material at the bottom of the silo 1 and allows the pipe material to move closer to the elevator 2 along the slide 3.
[0025] It should be noted that, regarding how to determine that the pipe material in silo 1 is below a certain height, in this embodiment, a sensor (not shown in the figure) is installed in silo 1. Specifically, the sensor is installed on the elevator 2. The sensor is used to detect the pipe material. The sensor detects the pipe material at a certain height position in silo 1. By whether the pipe material is detected, it is determined whether the pipe material in silo 1 is below that height. The sensor detects the pipe material in silo 1 and transmits a signal to the corresponding controller. The controller determines whether to start the segmentation device 4 based on the received signal. It should be noted that the installation position of the sensor can be flexibly adjusted according to the actual location of the pipe material to be detected.
[0026] In this embodiment, the segmentation device 4 includes a drive unit 41 and a baffle plate 42. The drive unit 41 is installed on the elevator 2. The drive unit 41 is used to drive the baffle plate 42 to move to the corresponding position to block the pipe material at the bottom of the hopper 1 or to drive the baffle plate 42 to move and reset so that it is no longer in contact with the pipe material at the bottom of the hopper 1, thereby allowing the pipe material to move along the slide and approach the elevator until the pipe material enters the toothed groove on the elevator 2.
[0027] It should be noted that before feeding material into hopper 1, the drive unit 41 first drives the baffle plate 42 to move to the corresponding position to block the pipe material at the bottom of hopper 1. Then, the pipe material is put into hopper 1 until it is full. At this time, the pipe material at the bottom of hopper 1 cannot approach the elevator 2 because it is blocked by the baffle plate 42. Therefore, after the elevator 2 starts, it will first lift and feed the pipe material above hopper 1. As the lifting and feeding continues, the height of the pipe material in hopper 1 continues to decrease. When the pipe material in hopper 1 is lower than a certain height, the drive unit 41 drives the baffle plate 42 to move and reset so that it is aligned with the hopper. 1. The pipe material at the bottom of the bin 1 is released from contact. After the pipe material at the bottom of the bin 1 is no longer blocked by the baffle plate 42, it slides along the slide 3 and approaches the elevator 2 until it enters the toothed groove on the elevator 2. The elevator 2 then lifts and feeds the remaining pipe material in stages, thereby realizing the segmented lifting of the pipe material in the bin 1. By lifting the pipe material in stages, the mutual collision and interference between the pipe materials are reduced, the relatively orderly distribution of the pipe materials is maintained, and the possibility of pipe materials crossing and tilting is reduced. Moreover, due to the segmented lifting, the squeezing and friction between the pipe materials are weakened, thereby effectively reducing the risk of jamming and damage during feeding.
[0028] The drive unit 41 includes a housing 417, a drive cylinder 411 rotatably disposed within the housing 417, a fisheye connector 412, a linkage rod 413, two hinge rods 414, two hinge rods 416, and two connecting rods 415 slidably disposed. The housing 417 is installed on the side wall of the elevator 2. The output end of the drive cylinder 411 is connected to the fisheye connector 412. The fisheye connector 412 is rotatably connected to the linkage rod 413. One end of the linkage rod 413 is rotatably connected to one end of the corresponding hinge rod 414. The other end of the hinge rod 414 is rotatably connected to the housing 417. The other end of the linkage rod 413 is rotatably connected to one end of the corresponding hinge rod 416. The other end of the hinge rod 416 is rotatably connected to the corresponding connecting rod 415. The two connecting rods 415 are slidably disposed on the housing 417 through the cooperation of a slider and a slide rail. Both connecting rods 415 are connected to the baffle plate 42.
[0029] Specifically, by extending the output end of the drive cylinder 411, the output end of the drive cylinder 411 drives the fisheye connector 412 and the linkage rod 413 to move. The linkage rod 413 drives the hinge rod one 414 and the hinge rod two 416 to rotate. The hinge rod two 416 drives the connecting rod 415 to move. The connecting rod 415 drives the baffle plate 42 to move to the corresponding position. By retracting the output end of the drive cylinder 411, the output end of the drive cylinder 411 drives the fisheye connector 412 and the linkage rod 413 to move. The linkage rod 413 drives the hinge rod one 414 and the hinge rod two 416 to rotate. The hinge rod two 416 drives the connecting rod 415 to move. The connecting rod 415 drives the baffle plate 42 to move and reset.
[0030] Alternatively, the drive unit 41 may be an electric cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, or linear drive module as used in the prior art.
[0031] As an alternative, the segmentation device 4 includes a lifting drive source and a partition. The lifting drive source drives the partition to rise to the bottom of the hopper 1. The partition prevents the pipe material from approaching the elevator 2 along the slide 3. When the pipe material in the hopper 1 is lower than a certain height, the lifting drive source drives the partition to descend and reset. The pipe material at the bottom of the hopper 1 can pass normally and approach the elevator along the slide until the pipe material enters the toothed groove on the elevator 2.
[0032] In this embodiment, the elevator 2 is slidably disposed in the hopper 1 and on the frame. The elevator 2 is driven to slide by the drive module 5. The position of the elevator 2 is changed by the drive module 5. Since the elevator 2 is used to lift the pipe material in this embodiment, the position of the elevator 2 can be effectively handled by changing the position of the elevator 2.
[0033] Furthermore, in this embodiment, baffle 11 is slidably mounted on the frame. Baffle 11 is slidably mounted and can move closer to or away from baffle 2 12. Baffle 11 is driven to slide by drive module 2 6. It should be noted that since both baffle 11 and baffle 2 12 are provided with slide rails 3, drive module 2 6 drives baffle 11 to slide closer to or away from baffle 2 12, thereby changing the distance between baffle 11 and baffle 2 12 and the distance between the two slide rails 3. This satisfies the space requirements of pipes of different lengths and allows the two slide rails 3 to effectively support and guide pipes of different lengths at appropriate positions, thus meeting the needs of pipes of different lengths and having a wider range of applications.
[0034] In this embodiment, both drive module 5 and drive module 6 adopt the lead screw linear module in the prior art.
[0035] In this embodiment, the feeding and lifting device also includes a support 7, which is slidably disposed between baffle 11 and baffle 2 12. The support 7 is provided with a slide 3, which is a third slide 3. The middle part of the pipe is supported and guided by the slide installed on the support 7, thereby achieving stable support and guidance for the longer pipe.
[0036] It should be noted that the bracket 7 can be slid by using a lead screw linear module driven by existing technology or by manual means, thereby adjusting the position of the bracket 7 and the third slide rail 3.
[0037] In this embodiment, there are two elevators 2, two segmentation devices 4, and two drive modules 5, and each corresponds to one another. The two elevators 2 are distributed at intervals. It should be noted that the distance between the two elevators 2 can be adjusted by sliding the elevators 2 to accommodate pipes of different lengths. Moreover, the number of elevators 2 can be increased or decreased appropriately according to the length of the pipe, and no specific limitation is made in this regard.
[0038] In another embodiment, drive module 5 and drive module 6 are removed, and the positions of the hoist 2 and baffle 11 are adjusted manually. That is, the hoist 2 and baffle 11 are slid along the corresponding slide rails by manual adjustment, and then the positions are locked by the locking structure in the prior art.
