Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipe processing technology, and in particular to an automatic pipe feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] During pipe processing, each pipe needs to be fed individually. Current feeding methods mostly involve manually placing each pipe and then using cylinders or other structures to push it into the processing position. This method is labor-intensive and inefficient. Patent number CN202322653139.3 discloses an automatic pipe feeding mechanism, including a feeding rack, a feeding device, a conveying device, and a pushing device. The feeding device, conveying device, and pushing device are all mounted on the feeding rack, with the pushing device and feeding device located on opposite sides of the conveying device. The feeding rack has an inclined surface, and the pushing device is located at the bottom end of the inclined surface. The feeding device facilitates the transport of stacked pipes to the conveying device, which then transports the pipes forward. The inclined surface allows the pipes to slide smoothly downwards along it. A pushing device pushes the pipes out one by one, feeding them onto the drilling machine. The bottom of the inclined surface on the feeding rack is fixed in height. The pushing device pushes the pipes out one by one, allowing them to enter the processing station or unloading station of the processing equipment. However, when connecting to different processing equipment, the height of the processing station or unloading station differs, making the automatic feeding mechanism unsuitable and impractical. Therefore, this invention proposes an automatic pipe feeding device. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0023] Example:

[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this utility model discloses an automatic pipe feeding device, which includes several feeding modules arranged along the X direction. Each feeding module includes a support 1, a material storage section 2, a material distribution control module 3, and a guide platform 4, all sequentially arranged on the support 1 along the Y direction. The material distribution control module 3 is located at the discharge end of the material storage section 2 and has a first stopping position. The inlet end of the guide platform 4 is connected to the first receiving position, and the end is provided with a second stopping position. The guide platform 4 guides the pipe 200 output from the first stopping position to the second stopping position.

[0025] The material storage section 2 includes a fabric belt 21, a tightening shaft 22, and a column 23. The fabric belt 21 is used to carry the pipes to be processed. One end of the fabric belt 21 is wrapped around the tightening shaft 22, which is used to tighten the fabric belt 21. The other end of the fabric belt is connected to the column 23, and its installation height is higher than that of the tightening shaft 22. The column 23 and the tightening shaft 22 form a material sinking space. The tightening shaft 22 is driven by a fourth servo motor. The servo motor drives the tightening shaft 22 to rotate, thereby tightening the fabric belt 21 and lifting the pipes stacked in the material sinking space upward.

[0026] The material distribution control module 3 includes a second support 35, a first baffle plate 32 and a second baffle plate 33 mounted on the second support 35 and forming a material receiving groove 31 at the first receiving position, a first cylinder 36 that drives the second baffle plate 33 to rotate to realize the material blocking and discharging functions of the material receiving groove 31, and a material distribution component 34 mounted on the second baffle plate 33 to ensure that there is a set number of pipes 200 in the material receiving groove 31. In this embodiment, it is required that there is exactly one pipe 200 in the material receiving groove 31. In other embodiments, the set number can be two or three or more.

[0027] The receiving trough 31 is V-shaped. The first baffle plate 32 forms a limiting structure on one side of the V-shape, and the second baffle plate 33 forms a limiting structure on the other side of the V-shape. The first baffle plate 32 forms a limiting structure on one side of the V-shape near the material storage section 2 (or the input side); the second baffle plate 33 forms a limiting structure on one side of the output side of the V-shape (or receiving trough 31).

[0028] The first baffle plate 32 is adjustablely positioned on the second bracket 35, thereby adjusting the limiting depth of the receiving groove 31 near the input side to accommodate the limiting requirements of various pipe sizes. Specifically, the second bracket 35 is equipped with a slide rail, and the first baffle plate 32 is slidably mounted on the slide rail and locked in place by a quick clamp.

[0029] One end of the second baffle plate 33 is rotatably mounted on the second bracket 35 via a rotating shaft 37 and is driven by the first cylinder 36 to rotate around the rotating shaft 37. Under the drive of the first cylinder 36, the second baffle plate 33 changes its angle. When the working section of the second baffle plate 33 used to block the pipe is above the guide platform 4, it is in the blocking state. When the second baffle plate 33 rotates and the working section used to block the pipe is below the guide platform 4, the second baffle plate 33 loses its blocking effect on the pipe and switches to the discharging state, and the receiving trough 31 releases the pipe 200.

[0030] The material distribution assembly 34 includes a second cylinder 341 fixed on the second baffle plate 33 and a pusher plate 342 driven by the second cylinder 341 to push excess pipe 200 in the receiving trough 31 back into the material storage section 2. The material distribution assembly 34 is positioned adjustablely on the second baffle plate 33 to meet the material distribution requirements of different quantities or sizes of pipes.

[0031] The material distribution assembly 34 also includes a U-shaped plate 343. One end of the U-shaped plate 343 is slidably connected to the second baffle plate 33 via a slide rail and is locked and fixed by a quick clamp. The second cylinder 341 is fixed on the U-shaped plate 343. The other end of the U-shaped plate 343 is provided with a floating pressure plate 8 parallel to the second baffle plate 33. The U-shaped plate 343 is provided with an inductive sensor 9 facing the floating pressure plate 8. The floating pressure plate 8 is provided with a sensing sheet that matches the inductive sensor.

[0032] A guide platform 4 is mounted on a height adjustment module 5, which includes a support plate 51. The guide platform 4 is located on the upper surface of the support plate 51. Both ends of the lower surface of the support plate 51 are provided with screws 52. The top ends of the screws 52 are hinged to the support plate 51. A nut fixing block 53 is fixed to the bracket 1 by screws. A nut 54 is provided on the nut fixing block 53. The nut fixing block 53 has a through hole coaxial with the nut 54, through which the screw 52 passes. The bracket 1 has a clearance groove for the screw 52 to pass through. Loosening the nut fixing block 53 and rotating the nut 54 allows the screw 52 to move up and down in coordination with the screw 52. After adjustment, the nut fixing block 53 is locked in place, thereby adjusting the height of the support plate 51 and the guide platform 4 to ensure that the second material stop is consistent with the feeding height of the subsequent equipment, meeting the feeding requirements of the subsequent equipment.

[0033] The guide platform 4 includes a first circular rail 41 mounted on the support plate 51. An adjustment plate 42 parallel to the first circular rail 41 is provided on one side. Both the adjustment plate 42 and the support plate are provided with a plurality of positioning holes 43 distributed along their length direction. The adjustment plate 42 and the support plate 51 are fixed by fastening bolts. A second circular rail 44 is provided on the adjustment plate 42. A material discharge baffle 45 is provided at the bottom of the adjustment plate 42. The material discharge baffle 45 is fixed to the adjustment plate 42 by screws.

[0034] The feeding module 10 also includes an auxiliary feeding module 6. The auxiliary feeding module 6 includes a secondary telescopic component 61, which is common in the prior art, and a material rack 62 located at the front end of the secondary telescopic component 61. The material rack 62 is provided with an upward-opening V-shaped groove. The two sides of the V-shaped groove are respectively aligned with the second circular rail 44 and the material drop baffle 45. When the feeding device is a certain distance away from the target position, the material drop baffle 45 is removed, and the pipe slides down the guide platform 4 onto the material rack 62. The secondary telescopic component 61 drives the material rack 62 to extend, conveying the pipe 200 from the second material stop position to the target position.

[0035] Guide plates 7 are provided on both sides of the second bracket 35. The first baffle plate 32 and the second baffle plate 33 are respectively provided on the guide plates 7 on both sides. The upper end face of the guide plate 7 and the connection between the upper end face and the side facing the material storage section 2 are rounded. The length of the upper end face of the guide plate 7 is not less than twice the diameter of the pipe 200. The upper end face of the guide plate 7 forms a guide platform for guiding the pipe 200 from the discharge end of the material storage section 2 to the first baffle position. The upper end face of the guide plate 7 is inclined. The angle between the horizontal plane and the slope is 5°, and the lower end of the slope faces the side where the material storage section 2 is located, thus forming a downward sloping gentle slope. After the material storage section 2 stops pulling the material, the pipes stacked on the upper surface of the guide plate 7 will roll back into the material storage section 2 under their own gravity. Only 2-3 single-layer flat pipes are left on the upper surface of the guide arc plate 7. When the material storage section 2 pulls up the pipes next time, it will prioritize pushing the pipes that are left on the upper surface of the guide plate 7 forward into the first stop position, thereby improving the success rate of feeding.

[0036] The working process of the automatic pipe feeding device 100 in this embodiment is as follows: The material storage section 2 pulls up multiple pipes until a pipe enters the first blocking position, the floating pressure plate 8 is pressed down, the inductive sensor 9 senses the floating pressure plate 8, the material storage section 2 stops pulling up and drives the pipes back into the material storage section 2, the second cylinder 341 drives the pusher plate 342 to push the pipes stacked in the first blocking position back into the material storage section 2, so that only a single pipe is left in the first blocking position, the first cylinder 36 drives the second blocking plate 35 to rotate downward, release the obstruction of the pipe 200, and the pipe 200 slides down the guide platform 4 to the second blocking position.

[0037] The above descriptions are merely some embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, various modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept of this utility model, and all such modifications and improvements fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
