Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ship pipe fitting processing technology, and in particular to a circular pipe fitting storage rack for ship production. Background Technology
[0002] Pipe fitting storage racks used in the production process are generally used to store pipe fittings that have been processed in the previous process. After all the positions on the pipe fitting storage rack are filled, or after pipe fittings of the same specifications have been processed in the previous process, the production pipe fitting storage rack carries the pipe fittings to the next pipe fitting processing process.
[0003] Currently, the pipe fitting storage racks used in production are just simple frames. When they reach the vicinity of the processing equipment for the next process, the pipe fittings stored on them need to be moved manually. In shipbuilding, some processes have limited space, and when manual removal of pipe fittings from ordinary storage racks and their transport, it is easy to bump into other already constructed parts of the ship's hull.

[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0028] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown in the figure, a circular pipe fitting storage rack for ship production includes a frame 1, a longitudinal moving part 2, a lateral moving part 3, and a clamping part 4.
[0029] The frame 1 serves as the support structure for the entire device. The longitudinal moving component 2 moves parallel to the long axis of the pipe 5, the transverse moving component 3 moves perpendicular to the long axis of the pipe 5, and the clamping component 4 supports and clamps the pipe 5 upwards. In use, the transverse moving component 3 moves the clamping component 4 below one end of the pipe 5 to be moved, and the clamping component 4 supports and clamps the pipe 5 upwards. Then, the longitudinal moving component 2 gradually moves the transverse moving component 3, the clamping component 4, and the clamped pipe 5 together from one side of the frame 1 to the other side of the frame 1. In this way, the pipe 5 is moved from the frame 1 to the equipment for the next process.
[0030] The frame 1 includes an arc-shaped frame 11, which is fixedly installed on the upper part of the frame 1. The arc-shaped frame 11 is composed of several concave arc-shaped parts and horizontal parts that alternate, and the concave arc-shaped parts of the left and right arc-shaped frames 11 correspond to each other. When using the pipe storage rack provided by this utility model, each round pipe 5 is placed on the corresponding concave arc-shaped parts on the left and right sides of the arc-shaped frame 11.
[0031] To facilitate the sliding of pipe fittings 5 from the arc-shaped frame 11 on the pipe fitting storage rack, several rollers 14 are evenly rotated around the arc-shaped part of the arc-shaped frame 11, with the rotation axis of the rollers 14 perpendicular to the long axis of the pipe fittings 5.
[0032] The frame 1 also includes a vertical frame 12, the upper part of which is fixedly connected to the arc-shaped frame 11, and the lower part of which is equipped with casters 13.
[0033] The movable wheel 13 facilitates the movement of the pipe fitting storage rack to transfer the pipe fitting 5 from the previous processing equipment to the next processing equipment. However, when using the pipe fitting storage rack provided by this utility model to automatically transfer the pipe fitting 5 to the equipment of the next process, the pipe fitting storage rack provided by this utility model needs to be fixed. In order to fix the rack body 1, several fixing feet 15 are installed on the rack body 1 by means of vertical screws. The vertical screws are threaded on the rack body 1, and the fixing feet 15 are fixedly installed on the lower end face of the vertical screws. When the movable wheel 13 is needed to move the pipe fitting storage rack, the vertical screws are rotated upward to retract the fixing feet 15. When the pipe fitting storage rack is used to automatically transfer the pipe fitting 5, the vertical screws and fixing feet 15 are rotated downward until the movable wheel 13 leaves the ground.
[0034] The longitudinal moving component 2 includes a longitudinal frame 21, with both ends of the longitudinal frame 21 fixedly mounted on two corresponding vertical frames 12. A longitudinal limiting groove 28 is opened on one side opposite to the two longitudinal frames 21, and the longitudinal limiting groove 28 is parallel to the long axis of the pipe 5.
[0035] The longitudinal moving component 2 also includes a longitudinal toothed plate 27. The longitudinal toothed plate 27 is fixedly mounted on two corresponding vertical frames 12 at both ends. There are two sets of longitudinal toothed plates 27. Each set of longitudinal toothed plates 27 consists of two toothed plates of the same model and size with their meshing teeth placed opposite each other. Each set of longitudinal toothed plates 27 is installed under the corresponding longitudinal frame 21. A matching longitudinal gear 25 is installed between each set of longitudinal toothed plates 27. A total of two longitudinal gears 25 are installed between the two sets of longitudinal toothed plates 27. The two longitudinal gears 25 are connected together by a longitudinal gear shaft 26. A longitudinal bearing 24 is installed at each end of the longitudinal gear shaft 26. The inner ring of the longitudinal bearing 24 is fixedly connected to the longitudinal gear shaft 26. A U-shaped plate 22 is fixedly installed on the outer ring of the longitudinal bearing 24.
[0036] The U-shaped plate 22 is installed in an inverted U-shape inside the frame 1. The vertical parts on both sides of the U-shaped plate 22 are mounted on the longitudinal gear shaft 26 via longitudinal bearings 24. The lower end face of the horizontal part of the U-shaped plate 22 is fixedly mounted with a longitudinal motor 23. The output shaft of the longitudinal motor 23 is equipped with a drive gear, and a driven gear adapted to the drive gear is installed at the corresponding position on the longitudinal gear shaft 26. The output shaft of the longitudinal motor 23 outputs rotational power to the longitudinal gear shaft 26 through a gear transmission system. Thus, as the longitudinal motor 23 rotates, it drives the longitudinal gear shaft 26 and the longitudinal gear 25 to rotate. As the longitudinal gear 25 meshes with the longitudinal gear plate 27, the longitudinal gear 25, the longitudinal gear shaft 26, the U-shaped plate 22, etc., move left and right along the longitudinal gear plate 27.
[0037] The transverse moving component 3 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the transverse portion of the U-shaped plate 22.
[0038] The transverse moving component 3 includes a horizontal plate 31, which is fixedly installed on the upper end surface of the transverse portion of the U-shaped plate 22. The horizontal plate 31 is perpendicular to the longitudinal frame 21, and both ends of the horizontal plate 31 are slidably installed in the longitudinal limiting grooves 28 of the longitudinal frame 21.
[0039] A transverse fixing plate 32 is fixedly installed on both sides of the upper end face of the horizontal plate 31. A transverse lead screw 33 is rotatably installed between the two transverse fixing plates 32. A transverse motor 36 is fixedly installed at one end of the horizontal plate 31. The output shaft of the transverse motor 36 passes through the corresponding transverse fixing plate 32 and is connected to one end of the transverse lead screw 33.
[0040] A transverse slider 35 is installed on the transverse lead screw 33. The transverse slider 35 has a through hole, and a thread that matches the transverse lead screw 33 is installed in the hole. The transverse lead screw 33 passes through the transverse slider 35 through a hole with a matching thread on its inner surface.
[0041] To further regulate the movement trajectory of the transverse slider 35, a transverse guide rod 34 is also fixedly installed between the two transverse fixed plates 32. The transverse guide rod 34 is parallel to the transverse lead screw 33, passes through the transverse slider 35, and is slidably connected to the transverse slider 35.
[0042] The clamping component 4 is fixedly installed on the upper end face of the horizontal slider 35.
[0043] The clamping component 4 includes an electric telescopic column 41, which is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the transverse slider 35. The output end of the electric telescopic column 41 is fixedly installed with a clamping base 47. An arc-shaped lower plate 42 is fixedly installed on the clamping base 47. The upper surface of the arc-shaped lower plate 42 is arc-shaped. The two ends of the arc-shaped lower plate 42 are rotatably installed with clamping plates 44 through clamping shafts 43. The upper part of the clamping plate 44 works together with the arc-shaped lower plate 42 to clamp the pipe 5. The lower end of the clamping plate 44 has a clamping limiting groove 45.
[0044] Several electric telescopic rods 46 are fixedly installed on the clamping base 47. The output tubes of the electric telescopic rods 46 are slidably installed in the clamping limiting groove 45. When clamping the pipe 5, the electric telescopic rods 46 are activated. The output end of the electric telescopic rods 46 drives the lower part of the clamping plate 44 to move away from the clamping base 47 along the clamping limiting groove 45. At this time, the upper part of the clamping plate 44 moves towards the pipe 5 and gradually clamps the pipe 5.
[0045] To protect the surface of the pipe fitting 5 from damage during clamping and movement, a soft elastic pad is placed over the surfaces of the pipe fitting that contact the curved lower plate 42 and the clamping plate 44. The soft elastic pad can be made of rubber, silicone rubber, polyurethane, etc.
[0046] In use: Place the pipe fitting 5 on the arc-shaped frame 11. Using the circular pipe fitting storage rack provided by this utility model, move the pipe fitting 5 stored on it to the equipment position to be processed next. Start the longitudinal motor 23. The longitudinal motor 23 drives the longitudinal gear 25 to rotate along the longitudinal toothed plate 27. As the longitudinal gear 25 rotates, it drives the U-shaped plate 22 and the transverse moving component 3 to move to the left side of the frame 1. At this time, start the transverse motor 36. The transverse motor 36 drives the transverse lead screw 33 to rotate. The transverse slider 35 moves, driving the clamping component 4 to move under the corresponding pipe fitting 5. Start the electric telescopic column 41. The output end drives the clamping base 47 and the arc-shaped lower plate 42 to move upward until the arc-shaped lower plate 42 lifts the pipe 5 from the arc-shaped frame 11 on the left side a certain distance. Then, the electric telescopic rod 46 is activated. The output end of the electric telescopic rod 46 moves away from the clamping base 47, and at the same time, it drives the lower part of the clamping plate 44 to move away from the clamping base 47. At this time, the upper end of the clamping plate 44 gradually clamps the pipe 5. Then, the longitudinal motor 23 is activated. With the meshing transmission of the longitudinal gear 25 and the longitudinal toothed plate 27, the transverse moving part 3, the clamping part 4, and the pipe 5 are driven to move to the left, moving the pipe 5 to the equipment of the next process.
[0047] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
