[0023] 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] like Figure 1-5As shown, an automatic feeding device for metal tube processing includes a feeding mechanism 1. Several positioning mechanisms 2 are arranged on one side below the feeding mechanism 1, and a rounding mechanism 3 is arranged on the other side below the feeding mechanism 1. The feeding mechanism 1 includes an electric slide rail 101, with an electric slider 102 slidably connected to the bottom of the electric slide rail 101. A push plate 103 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the electric slider 102 by bolts. The rounding mechanism 3 includes a second support base 301, with a hollowed-out upper part in the middle. A rotating ring 3 is rotatably connected to the surface of the second support base 301 and located outside the hollowed-out area. 02. Several movable frames 304 are rotatably connected to the front of the rotating ring 302, and the movable frames 304 are equidistantly arranged around the surface of the rotating ring 302. A movable rod 305 is slidably connected to the inner wall of each movable frame 304. One end of the movable rod 305 located on the outer side of the rotating ring 302 is rotatably connected to the support base 301. A calibrating wheel 306 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the other end of the movable rod 305. A motor 307 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the movable rod 305. The output shaft of the motor 307 passes through the movable rod 305 and is fixedly connected to the shaft of the calibrating wheel 306. Figure 2 As shown, when the rotating ring 302 rotates clockwise, the distance between each of the calibration wheels 306 decreases; when the rotating ring 302 rotates counterclockwise, the distance between each of the calibration wheels 306 increases.
[0025] An electric push rod 303 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the support base 301 and above the rotating ring 302. The extended end of the electric push rod 303 is fixedly connected to the side of the rotating ring 302. Figure 2 As shown, when the extension rod of the electric actuator 303 is extended, the rotating ring 302 rotates counterclockwise;
[0026] Each positioning mechanism 2 includes a support base 201. A threaded sleeve 202 is fixedly installed on the middle of the side of the support base 201. A guide sleeve 203 is also fixedly connected to the side of the support base 201 and above the threaded sleeve 202. A lifting rod 204 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the guide sleeve 203. The top end of the lifting rod 204 extends above the guide sleeve 203 and is rotatably connected to a support wheel 205. A lead screw 206 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the threaded sleeve 202. The top end of the lead screw 206 is rotatably connected to the middle of the bottom of the lifting rod 204, and a knob is fixed to the bottom end of the lead screw 206. Figure 3 As shown, the lifting rod 204 slides along the inner side of the guide sleeve 203 to ensure that the lifting rod 204 moves in a straight line.
[0027] The upper inner wall of support base 201 has a groove 207. A gear 208 is rotatably connected inside the groove 207. A clamping plate 209 is slidably connected to one side of the groove 207, and a clamping plate 210 is slidably connected to the other side of the groove 207. The lower outer wall of clamping plate 210 has an opening 213. A rack 211 is fixedly connected to the bottom of clamping plate 209, and a rack 210 is fixedly connected to the bottom of clamping plate 210. 12. Rack 1 211 and through-hole 213 are located on the same horizontal straight line. Rack 1 211 and rack 2 212 are both slidably connected along the inner side of slide groove 207, and both rack 1 211 and rack 2 212 are meshed with gear 208. An electric push rod 1 214 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of support base 1 201 and below slide groove 207. The extension end of electric push rod 1 214 is fixedly connected to the middle of the bottom surface of rack 2 212. Figures 4-5 As shown, the through-hole 213 allows the rack 211 to pass through.
[0028] The working principle of this utility model:
[0029] When the device is in use, the metal pipe to be processed is placed between clamping plate 209 and clamping plate 210. Electric push rod 214 drives rack 212 to move. Through gear 208, rack 211 moves in the opposite direction, thereby closing clamping plate 209 and clamping plate 210 and clamping and limiting the metal pipe. Rotating the knob drives screw 206 to rise and fall along the inside of threaded sleeve 202, and the height of the metal pipe is adjusted by the support wheel 205 above. During the movement of electric slider 102 along electric slide rail 101, push plate 103 pushes and moves the metal pipe between clamping plate 209 and clamping plate 210.
[0030] Secondly, the metal pipe moves horizontally and passes through the central hollow of the support base 301. The extension end of the electric push rod 303 extends and retracts, thereby driving the rotating ring 302 to rotate. The position of the movable frame 304 is thus shifted, and the movable rod 305 is driven to rotate, thereby changing the spacing of the calibrating wheels 306. The calibrating wheels 306 can abut against the side of the metal pipe. When the motor 307 is started, the calibrating wheels 306 rotate and push the metal pipe to rotate. The side of the metal pipe is evenly squeezed by each calibrating wheel 306, and the ellipticity of the metal pipe is adjusted. Finally, the electric slider 102 continues to move along the electric slide rail 101, and the entire metal pipe can be separated from the calibrating mechanism 3.
[0031] The above description provides a detailed account of one embodiment of the present invention. However, this description is merely a preferred embodiment and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. All equivalent variations and improvements made within the scope of the present invention should still fall within the patent coverage of the present invention.
