Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of pipe processing, and in particular relates to a transfer device for pipe production. Background Technology
[0002] In the pipe processing industry, pipe transfer equipment is a key piece of equipment to ensure smooth and efficient production processes. As the demand for pipes continues to rise across various industries, pipe specifications are becoming increasingly diverse, and large-diameter pipes are being used more and more widely in many fields.
[0003] Chinese patent CN220865453U discloses a pipe handling device, comprising: a pair of support frames arranged opposite each other, the bottom of the support frames being provided with casters; a connector supporting and connecting the pair of support frames, the length of the connector being adjustable; a support frame detachably connected to the support frames, the top of the support frame being provided with an arc-shaped support portion; and a clamp plate connected to the support frames.
[0004] In summary, when dealing with small-diameter, lightweight pipes, the conventional approach is to manually move the pipes onto support frames for subsequent handling. However, when handling large-diameter pipes, due to their larger diameter and greater weight, it is necessary to use external robotic arms or other auxiliary equipment. During production, the connection between these auxiliary equipment and the pipe transfer equipment is not smooth, making the operation process cumbersome and complex. Each time material is loaded, the movements of the robotic arms and other equipment need to be precisely controlled to ensure that the large-diameter pipes are accurately placed on the pipe supports. Furthermore, the complex and cumbersome operation process makes it easier for the pipes to be bumped and damaged during handling, affecting the efficiency of pipe handling. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a transfer device for pipe production, in order to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that, due to the large diameter and weight of large-diameter pipes, the aforementioned patents have to rely on external robotic arms or other auxiliary equipment to transport the pipes to the transfer device. However, during the production process, the connection between the external auxiliary equipment and the pipe transfer device is not smooth enough, and the operation process becomes cumbersome and complicated.
[0006] This invention is achieved as follows: a transfer device for pipe production, including a base.
[0007] The base is provided with several sets of casters around its bottom, and a pipe support is fixed to the top of the base. A fixed column is fixed to one end of the top of the base, and an L-shaped mounting bracket is provided on the top of the fixed column. A movable seat is provided below the top of the L-shaped mounting bracket, and a hydraulic cylinder is fixed to the bottom of the movable seat. A pneumatic gripper is provided at the output end of the hydraulic cylinder.
[0008] The L-shaped mounting bracket is equipped with a transverse movement mechanism, which is used to drive the movable seat to move laterally.
[0009] The fixed column is equipped with a rotating mechanism, which is used to drive the L-shaped mounting bracket to rotate horizontally.
[0010] Preferably, the transverse movement mechanism includes a lead screw, which is horizontally mounted below the top of the L-shaped mounting bracket. A motor is fixed to the outside of the L-shaped mounting bracket. The output end of the motor is connected to the lead screw, and the lead screw passes through the movable seat and is threadedly connected to it.
[0011] In the above technical solution, the motor drives the lead screw to rotate, thereby causing the lead screw to drive the movable seat connected to it by threads to move laterally.
[0012] Preferably, the rotating mechanism includes a second motor, which is fixed to the side of the fixed column, and a first gear is provided at the output end of the second motor. The bottom of the L-shaped mounting bracket is fitted with the second gear, and the second gear meshes with the first gear.
[0013] In the above technical solution, the second motor drives the first gear to rotate, which in turn drives the meshing second gear to rotate, thereby driving the L-shaped mounting bracket to rotate horizontally.
[0014] Preferably, the bottom of the L-shaped mounting bracket is mounted on the top of the fixed column via a slewing bearing.
[0015] Preferably, the fixed column has two sets of pressure plates arranged laterally on its side, and a pressing mechanism is provided at the top of the fixed column.
[0016] In the above technical solution, after the pipe is placed on the pipe support, the pressing mechanism can drive the pressure plate to descend and press the pipe on the pipe support to fix it, preventing the pipe from falling off during the transfer process. Compared with the fixing method in the comparative case, this technical solution is more convenient for fixing the pipe and can fix multiple pipes in one go, improving the convenience of use.
[0017] Preferably, the pressing mechanism includes a third motor, which is fixed to the top of the fixed column, and the output end of the third motor is connected to a second lead screw. The second lead screw is vertically arranged on the side of the fixed column, and a movable block is threaded onto the second lead screw. The movable block is fixedly connected to the pressure plate.
[0018] In the above technical solution, the motor drives the lead screw to rotate, which in turn drives the movable block to move vertically, thereby causing the movable block to drive the pressure plate to descend and press the pipe.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0020] In use, the lateral movement mechanism can drive the movable seat and pneumatic gripper to move laterally so that the pneumatic gripper can hold the pipe. At the same time, the rotation mechanism drives the L-shaped mounting bracket to rotate horizontally, so that the pneumatic gripper can hold and load pipes placed in multiple positions, which greatly facilitates the loading of large-diameter and heavy pipes. It can also be used for unloading and stacking pipes after transfer, shortening the time required for loading and unloading pipes and improving production efficiency.
[0021] After the pipes are placed on the pipe support, the pressure plate can be lowered by the pressing mechanism to press and fix the pipes on the pipe support, preventing the pipes from falling off during the transfer process. This ensures that multiple pipes can maintain a stable position during processing and transfer. Compared with the fixing method in the comparison case, this technical solution is simpler and more convenient to fix the pipes, and can fix multiple pipes in one place, improving the convenience of use.

[0031] The L-shaped mounting bracket 5 is equipped with a transverse movement mechanism 9, which is used to drive the movable seat 6 to move laterally.
[0032] A rotating mechanism 10 is provided on the fixed column 4, which is used to drive the L-shaped mounting bracket 5 to rotate horizontally.
[0033] Please see Figure 1 In this embodiment: the transverse mechanism 9 includes a lead screw 901, which is horizontally mounted below the top of the L-shaped mounting bracket 5. A motor 902 is fixed on the outside of the L-shaped mounting bracket 5.

[0035] Please see Figure 1-2 In this embodiment: the bottom of the L-shaped mounting bracket 5 is mounted on the top of the fixed column 4 via a slewing bearing.
[0036] Please see Figure 1-3In this embodiment: two sets of pressure plates 11 are arranged laterally on the side of the fixed column 4, and a pressing mechanism 12 is provided on the top of the fixed column 4.
