Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipe marking technology, and in particular to an adjustable pipe marking positioning bracket. Background Technology
[0002] A pipe marking machine is a device specifically designed for marking the surface of pipes. Utilizing advanced technology, it can quickly and efficiently print various texts, numbers, patterns, and other information onto pipes, meeting the needs of pipe identification and traceability. The positioning bracket is a crucial component of the pipe marking machine; its main function is to fix and support the machine, ensuring accurate marking on the pipe surface.
[0003] In the pipe marking process, positioning brackets play a crucial role, ensuring the pipe remains in a stable and accurate position during marking. However, although current pipe marking positioning brackets generally use clamps to hold and position the pipe, this design also has certain limitations. Typically, clamps firmly hold the pipe to prevent movement or shaking during marking, thus ensuring marking quality. However, clamp designs are often relatively fixed and lack flexibility, making it relatively difficult to adjust the pipe's position.
[0004] Specifically, the clamping points and clamping force of the fixtures are usually preset, making it difficult to adjust flexibly according to the actual size and shape of the pipe. When processing pipes of different sizes or shapes, it may be necessary to change the fixtures or make cumbersome adjustments, which not only increases the complexity of the operation but may also have an adverse impact on production efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0005] The main objective of this invention is to provide an adjustable pipe marking positioning bracket, which can effectively solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0007] An adjustable pipe marking positioning bracket includes a platform, a slide rail assembly, an upper bracket, a drive assembly, a moving stage, and a marking assembly. The first slide rail assembly is mounted on the platform, the second slide rail assembly and the drive assembly are mounted on the upper bracket, the upper bracket is mounted on the first slide rail assembly, and the marking assembly is mounted on the second slide rail assembly via the moving stage, thereby realizing the marking operation on the pipe surface.
[0008] The platform is equipped with a limiting slide bar, and multiple adjustable mounting seats are installed on the limiting slide bar. The end face of the adjustable mounting seat is provided with mounting holes. The position of the adjustable mounting seat is adjusted along the limiting slide bar to adapt to pipes of different lengths.
[0009] The upper end of the adjustable mounting base is connected to a clamp, and the clamp has lateral notches on both sides. Each lateral notch is connected to a hydraulic cylinder through a support frame, and clamping heads are installed at both ends of the hydraulic cylinder. The clamp forms a positioning port inside, and the clamping heads are used to position and clamp the pipe inside the positioning port.
[0010] In a further alternative, the limiting slide bar is fixed to the platform by bolts, and the edge of the limiting slide bar is designed to be arc-shaped. The limiting slide bar is adapted to the groove at the lower end of the adjustable mounting base, and the contact end between the limiting slide bar and the adjustable mounting base is designed to be smooth.
[0011] In a further alternative, multiple mounting holes are distributed at the corners of the adjustable mounting base, and multiple screw holes are provided on the platform, which are directly opposite the mounting holes. The adjustable mounting base has an inverted "T" shaped cross-section and is fixed to the rotating shaft of the clamp.
[0012] In a further alternative, the upper opening of the clamp is connected by fasteners, two lateral notches are symmetrically located on the two halves of the clamp, and two support frames are welded and fixed to the clamp, with the two support frames located at the quadrant points of the clamp.
[0013] In a further optional embodiment, the support frame is fixed to the hydraulic cylinder by bolts, and an anti-slip pad is provided at the connection between the support frame and the hydraulic cylinder. The hydraulic cylinder is a double-headed telescopic cylinder, and the clamping head is connected to the hydraulic cylinder. An anti-slip strip is connected to the inner end of the clamping head by adhesive.
[0014] In a further alternative, the surface of the clamp is connected to an anti-slip arc strip by an adhesive, the edge of the lateral notch is arc-shaped, and the surface of the lateral notch is roughened or connected to an anti-slip strip by an adhesive.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] The design of the limiting slide bar allows the adjustable mounting base to be flexibly adjusted along its length to accommodate pipes of different lengths. This design not only improves the versatility of the equipment but also enables operators to quickly adjust the mounting to accommodate different pipe lengths, thus increasing work efficiency.
[0017] The adjustable mechanism, with its multiple mounting holes and screw holes, ensures the adjustable mounting base is securely fixed to the platform while maintaining accurate and stable positioning. This design guarantees the stability of the tubing and the precision of the coding process.
[0018] The clamping and positioning mechanism, through the cooperation of a hydraulic cylinder and a gripping head, achieves a stable clamping of the pipe. The stable clamping force provided by the hydraulic cylinder ensures that the pipe will not shift or shake during the coding process, thereby improving the stability and accuracy of coding. Meanwhile, the anti-slip arc strips on the clamp surface and the anti-slip strips on the lateral notch edges further enhance the safety and stability of operation. Attached Figure Description

[0025] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0026] like Figure 1 - Figure 5 As shown, an adjustable pipe marking positioning bracket mainly consists of a platform 1, a slide rail assembly, an upper bracket 3, a drive assembly 5, a moving stage 6, and a marking assembly 7. The first slide rail assembly 2 is mounted on the platform 1, while the second slide rail assembly 4 and the drive assembly 5 are mounted on the upper bracket 3. The upper bracket 3 is also mounted on the first slide rail assembly 2, allowing the marking assembly 7 to be mounted on the second slide rail assembly 4 via the moving stage 6, thereby enabling the marking operation on the pipe surface.
[0027] To accommodate pipes of different lengths, a limiting slide bar 8 is installed on the platform 1, and multiple adjustable mounting seats 9 are installed on the limiting slide bar 8. The end faces of these adjustable mounting seats 9 are provided with mounting holes 10, so that the adjustable mounting seats 9 can be adjusted along the limiting slide bar 8 to accommodate pipes of different lengths.
[0028] Each adjustable mounting base 9 has a clamp 11 connected to its upper end, and lateral notches 12 are provided on both sides of the clamp 11. At each lateral notch 12, a hydraulic cylinder 14 is connected via a support frame 13, and clamping heads 15 are installed at both ends of the hydraulic cylinder 14. A positioning port 16 is formed inside the clamp 11, and the clamping heads 15 clamp and position the tube inside the positioning port 16 to ensure the accuracy of the coding operation.
[0029] The limiting slide bar 8 is fixed to the platform 1 by bolts, and its edge is designed with an arc shape to reduce friction when in contact with the adjustable mounting base 9. The limiting slide bar 8 and the adjustable mounting base 9 have grooves at their lower ends for adaptation, and both contact ends are designed with a smooth surface to reduce wear and improve service life.
[0030] Multiple mounting holes 10 are distributed at the corners of the adjustable mounting base 9. Multiple screw holes are provided on the platform 1, aligning with the mounting holes 10, facilitating the installation and adjustment of the adjustable mounting base 9. The adjustable mounting base 9 has an inverted "T" shaped cross-section, which helps improve the stability and load-bearing capacity of the structure. Furthermore, the adjustable mounting base 9 is fixed to the clamp 11 via a pivot, ensuring a tight connection between the two.
[0031] The upper opening of the clamp 11 is connected by fasteners to ensure its structural stability. Two lateral notches 12 are symmetrically arranged on the two halves of the clamp 11 to facilitate quick installation and removal by operators. Two support frames 13 are welded and fixed to the clamp 11, located at the quadrant points of the clamp 11, to ensure the stability and load-bearing capacity of the support frames 13.
[0032] The support frame 13 is fixed to the hydraulic cylinder 14 with bolts. Anti-slip pads are provided at the connection between the support frame 13 and the hydraulic cylinder 14 to prevent loosening due to vibration or impact during operation. The hydraulic cylinder 14 is a double-headed telescopic cylinder, capable of providing stable clamping force. The clamping head 15 is connected to the hydraulic cylinder 14. Anti-slip strips are attached to the inner end of the clamping head 15 with adhesive to increase the friction between the clamping head 15 and the pipe, ensuring the stability of the coding operation.
[0033] To further enhance operational safety and stability, the surface of clamp 11 is fitted with anti-slip arc-shaped strips via adhesive. The edges of the lateral notch 12 are arc-shaped, with a roughened surface or anti-slip strips attached via adhesive to prevent operator slippage during use and ensure operational safety.
[0034] Check that the limiting slide bar 8 is securely fixed to the platform 1, and ensure its edges are rounded to reduce friction. Select the appropriate mounting hole 10 according to the required pipe length for coding, and install the adjustable mounting base 9 onto the limiting slide bar 8. Use bolts to fix the adjustable mounting base 9 into the corresponding screw holes on the platform 1, ensuring accurate positioning. Fix the clamp 11 to the upper end of the adjustable mounting base 9 via a pivot. Connect the hydraulic cylinder 14 to the side notch 12 of the clamp 11 via a support frame 13, ensuring that clamping heads 15 are installed at both ends of the hydraulic cylinder 14. Ensure the clamping heads 15 are securely connected to the hydraulic cylinder 14, and adhere anti-slip strips to the inner end of the clamping heads 15 to improve friction.
[0035] Operate hydraulic cylinder 14 to clamp the pipe's positioning port 16 with its gripping head 15, ensuring accurate coding. Adjust the extension length of hydraulic cylinder 14 to accommodate pipes of different diameters. Place the pipe into the positioning port 16 of clamp 11, ensuring the pipe is stably clamped by gripping head 15. Adjust the coding position as needed, moving the coding assembly 7 on the second slide rail assembly 4 via moving table 6. After coding is complete, release hydraulic cylinder 14 and remove the pipe. Clean the equipment to ensure its cleanliness and normal operation for the next use.
[0036] If the position of the limiting slide bar 8 needs adjustment, loosen the fixing bolts, move the limiting slide bar 8 to the appropriate position, and then re-fix it. Loosen the bolts fixing the adjustable mounting base 9, slide it along the limiting slide bar 8 to the appropriate position, and then re-fix it. Adjust the opening size of the clamp 11 according to the pipe diameter to ensure that it can firmly clamp the pipe. Ensure that the upper opening of the clamp 11 is securely connected with fasteners. Adjust the extension length of the hydraulic cylinder 14 according to the pipe diameter and length to ensure that the clamping head 15 can stably clamp the pipe. Ensure that the anti-slip arc strip on the surface of the clamp 11 and the anti-slip strip on the edge of the side notch 12 are securely installed to improve operational safety.
