Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipe feeding technology, specifically a stepping aluminum pipe feeder. Background Technology

[0002] The working principle of an electric heating element is that when an electric heating wire inside the metal tube is energized, heat is generated and transferred to the object being heated through the metal outer shell of the heating element. Electric heating elements are widely used and suitable for heating air, oil, water, chemical media, hot pressing molds, melting salts, alkalis, and low-melting-point alloys. Most electric heating elements today use hollow aluminum tubes for their outer tubes. Therefore, in the actual processing of electric heating elements, the first step is to cut the raw aluminum tubes into multiple components of constant length according to the actual length requirements of the heating element, facilitating subsequent manufacturing. Traditional aluminum tube feeding is done one tube at a time, requiring manual replenishment after each tube is fed, resulting in low efficiency. Therefore, a walking-type aluminum tube feeder has been designed, capable of storing multiple aluminum tubes and achieving automatic feeding and replenishment, freeing up manpower and improving efficiency.

[0028] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, a stepping aluminum tube feeder mainly consists of a frame 1, three sets of feeding mechanisms, a drive mechanism, a feeding mechanism, and an operation panel 32.

[0030] The frame 1 serves as a load-bearing frame, with wheels 33 and support feet 34 at the bottom. The wheels 33 are used to move the feeder to the working area; the height of the support feet 34 is adjustable, and they are raised when the frame 1 moves. Three sets of feeding mechanisms are arranged side-by-side at equal intervals on the frame 1, with multiple aluminum tubes 35 sequentially placed on each mechanism along the direction of movement. The drive mechanism is located on the frame 1 and is connected to the three sets of feeding mechanisms to drive them in feeding. The loading mechanism is located on the frame 1, on the same side as the three sets of feeding mechanisms; this side of the three feeding mechanisms is the loading area, used to load the aluminum tubes 35 located at the ends of the three feeding mechanisms. The operation panel 32 is located on the frame 1 and is used to control the operation of the feeding and loading mechanisms.

[0031] As a further improvement to this embodiment, each of the three feeding mechanisms includes a housing 2 mounted on the frame 1, a first pulley 3 fixedly mounted within the housing 2, and a second pulley 4 horizontally sliding within the housing 2. Specifically, in this embodiment, an adjusting groove 7 and a guide slide 8 are provided on the side wall of the housing 2. The second pulley 4 is slidably mounted within the adjusting groove 7 and has an adjusting slider 9 connected to its end. The adjusting slider 9 is slidably mounted within the guide slide 8, and an adjusting bolt 10 connected to the adjusting slider 9 is provided on the guide slide 8. The position of the second pulley 4 can be adjusted by the adjusting bolt 10. A conveyor belt 5 is mounted on the first pulley 3 and the second pulley 4, and several feeding brackets 6 are evenly spaced on the conveyor belt 5. The first pulley 3 is connected to the drive mechanism, which drives the first pulley 3 to rotate, thereby driving the feeding brackets 6 on the conveyor belt 5 to feed materials. The surface of the upper conveyor belt 5 is flush with the top of the housing 2, and the openings on both sides of the feeding bracket 6 are perpendicular to the moving direction of the conveyor belt 5. The aluminum tube 35 is placed on the feeding bracket 6.

[0032] As a further improvement to this embodiment, the drive mechanism includes a drive motor 11 mounted on the frame 1 and controlled by the operation panel 32, three first drive shafts 12 coaxially connected to the first pulleys 3 on the three sets of feeding mechanisms, and two second drive shafts 13 connected to the three first drive shafts 12 via couplings 14. The three first drive shafts 12 and the two second drive shafts 13 form a complete drive shaft and are connected to the drive motor 11. The two second drive shafts 13 are mounted on the frame 1 via bearing brackets 15. A power distribution box 16 connected to the drive motor 11 is provided on the frame 1, and the power distribution box 16 supplies power to the drive motor 11.

[0033] As a further improvement of this embodiment, the feeding mechanism includes a mounting frame 17 mounted on the frame 1, a feeding motor 18 correspondingly mounted in the middle, upper and lower parts of the mounting frame 17, an upper mounting plate 19 and a lower mounting plate 20. The feeding motor 18 is connected to a drive gear 21. A vertically downward-facing upward-pushing cylinder 22 is mounted on the upper mounting plate 19. The upward-pushing cylinder 22 is connected to an upper step-type feeding assembly. A vertically upward-facing downward-pushing cylinder 23 is mounted on the lower mounting plate 20. The downward-pushing cylinder 23 is connected to a lower step-type feeding assembly. The upper step-type feeding assembly meshes with the lower step-type feeding assembly, and the lower step-type feeding assembly meshes with the drive gear 21. The feeding motor 18, the upper push cylinder 22 and the lower push cylinder 23 are controlled by the operation panel 32. An infrared positioning sensor 24 is provided on the upper mounting plate 19. The infrared positioning sensor 24 is used for precise positioning of the aluminum tube 35 to ensure that the upper step feeding assembly and the lower step feeding assembly can accurately clamp the aluminum tube 35.

[0034] Furthermore, the upper stepping feeding assembly includes an upper mounting base 25 connected to the upper push cylinder 22, and an upper stepping roller 26 rotatably mounted on the upper mounting base 25. The upper stepping roller 26 is coaxially connected to an upper transmission gear 27.

[0035] Furthermore, the lower stepping feeding assembly includes a lower mounting base 28 connected to the lower push cylinder 23, and a lower stepping roller 29 rotatably mounted on the lower mounting base 28. The lower stepping roller 29 is coaxially connected to a lower transmission gear 30 and a driven gear 31. The lower transmission gear 30 meshes with the upper transmission gear 27, and the driven gear 31 meshes with the driving gear 21.

[0036] Working principle and usage process of this utility model:

[0037] In use, the feeder is moved to the cutting equipment using the traveling wheels 33 and fixed using the support feet 34. The aluminum tubes 35 are placed horizontally on the feeding chucks 6 of the three feeding mechanisms. When feeding begins, the drive motor 11 is controlled by the operation panel 32 to rotate the transmission shaft, causing the first pulley 3 to rotate. The conveyor belt 5 feeds the aluminum tubes 35 to the feeding area. The infrared positioning sensor 24 ensures that the feeding chuck 6 is accurately positioned between the upper stepping roller 26 and the lower stepping roller 29. Then, the upward pushing cylinder 22 pushes the upper mounting base 25 down, causing the upper stepping roller 26 to contact the upper surface of the aluminum tube 35. The lower push cylinder 23 pushes the lower mounting base 28 upward, causing the lower stepping roller 29 to contact the lower surface of the aluminum tube 35. Simultaneously, the upper drive gear 27 meshes with the lower drive gear 30, and the driven gear 31 meshes with the driving gear 21. Then, the feeding motor 18 is controlled by the operation panel 32 to drive the driving gear 21 to rotate. Through the driven gear 31, the lower drive gear 30, and the upper drive gear 27, the upper stepping roller 26 and the lower stepping roller 29 rotate in the same direction, thereby driving the aluminum tube 35 to be fed along its axis. After the current aluminum tube 35 is fed, the above process is repeated until all the aluminum tubes 35 on the conveyor belt 5 are fed.

[0038] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely the principles of this utility model.
