This not only reduces overall production efficiency but also wastes significant labor costs. Furthermore, manual handling can easily lead to pipes slipping and potential injuries. The increased manual intervention also increases operational errors, affecting the accuracy of the laser pipe cutting machine's clamping mechanism and indirectly impacting cutting precision and production quality. Therefore, we offer a rapid loading device. Utility Model Content

[0026] 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.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] Existing technologies require multiple people to manually feed materials, which not only wastes human resources but also reduces the laser cutting effect of the pipes. This embodiment provides a rapid feeding device that can achieve fully automatic autonomous feeding, avoiding manual feeding, reducing safety hazards, thereby reducing production costs and improving pipe production efficiency. Please refer to... Figure 1 - Figure 4This rapid feeding equipment includes a pipe rack 1, three sets of hopper racks 2, and a feeding machine frame 3 installed in front of the hopper racks 2. The pipe rack 1 is equipped with a pipe-aligning end-trimming mechanism 4, and both the hopper racks 2 and the feeding machine frame 3 are equipped with rapid feeding mechanisms 5. The end-trimming mechanism 4 can adjust the position of the pipes, aligning one end of the pipes for accurate clamping by the laser pipe cutter, thus improving the processing quality of the pipes. The feeding mechanism 5 enables fully automatic autonomous feeding without manual assistance, avoiding manpower waste, reducing safety hazards, lowering production costs, and increasing pipe production efficiency.

[0029] Currently, traditional pipe feeding is mainly manual. Due to pipe length limitations, short pipes require two assistants, while long pipes require three or more. This reduces production efficiency and wastes labor costs. Furthermore, manual handling is prone to pipe slippage due to improper operation, reducing feeding safety. Manual intervention also increases operational errors, affecting the accuracy of the laser pipe cutting machine's clamping mechanism and indirectly reducing the precision and quality of pipe cutting. To address these issues, the feeding mechanism 5 includes staggered rollers 51 mounted on the upper side of the feeding frame 3 near the hopper frame 2. The staggered rollers 51 consist of two sets of rollers arranged alternately, providing multi-directional support for the pipes. During pipe transport, the rolling of the staggered rollers 51 effectively reduces frictional resistance, making the pipe movement smoother and adapting to the stable feeding needs of pipes with different diameters. A guide plate 52 is installed on the side of the feeding frame 3, connected to the side of the feeding frame 3 by a guide nylon 53. The front end of the guide nylon 53 has an arc structure, which can... The system guides the pipes to move smoothly, preventing jamming. Its flush top structure provides stable support for the pipes, ensuring stable transport and facilitating smooth feeding. A sensory balance bar 54 is installed on the side of the guide nylon 53. A feeding sensor switch 55, which works in conjunction with the balance bar 54, is installed on the side of the feeding frame 3. A pipe positioning sensor 56 and a positioning baffle 57 are installed in the middle of the feeding frame 3. A sliding fixing rail 58 is installed above the feeding frame 3. A material-blocking rubber pad 59 is installed on the side of the feeding frame 3 away from the hopper frame 2. A position sensor assembly 510 is installed on the side of the feeding frame 3. A feeding adjustment plate 511 is installed opposite the feeding balance bar 54 and the feeding sensor switch 55. The feeding adjustment plate 511 is connected to the feeding Z-axis adjustment plate 512 via a guide rail slider. A pusher cylinder assembly 513 is installed on the feeding Z-axis adjustment plate 512, and a pusher nylon 514 is installed on the pusher cylinder assembly 513. The arc shape of the pusher nylon 514 matches the outer arc of the pipe, allowing it to tightly fit the pipe surface and provide a uniform and stable force during pushing, preventing... To prevent the pipe from shifting or shaking during transport and to ensure accurate feeding path, a hopper feeding limit component 515 is installed in the middle of the hopper frame 2. A hopper drive motor component 516 is connected below the hopper frame 2. A winding wheel 517 is connected to the hopper drive motor component 516. A roller component 518 is installed on the upper side of the feeding frame 3. A material belt 519 is connected between the roller component 518 and the winding wheel 517. A pressure plate 520 is installed on the hopper frame 2. A counterweight limit block 521 is installed on the side of the material belt 519 near the pressure plate 520.During the initial feeding of the laser tube cutting machine, the hopper drive motor assembly 516 operates, and the winding wheel 517 connected to it rotates, simultaneously winding up the material strip 519. Due to the synergistic effect of the roller assembly 518, the length of the material strip 519 supporting the tube in the hopper frame 2 gradually shortens, thereby raising the position of the tube. When the tube enters the feeding frame 3 from the hopper frame 2, the actuating balance bar 54 is sensed by the feeding induction switch 55, indicating that the feeding action of the hopper frame 2 is complete. Immediately, the hopper drive motor assembly 516 reverses its action, and the material strip 519 carrying the tube begins to slowly descend. After the feeding action on the hopper frame 2 is completed, as the tube begins to slowly descend, the feeding adjustment plate 511 is pushed forward by the cylinder. The feeding Z-axis adjustment plate 512 connected to it pushes the parallel tubes back onto the hopper frame 2. At the same time as the feeding adjustment plate 511 moves forward, the pushing cylinder assembly 51... 3. Extend the stacked pipes and push them back to the hopper rack 2 to ensure that only one pipe is loaded at a time. The unloading action is now complete. After the unloading action is completed, and the pipe waiting sensor 56 does not detect the pipe, the loading Z-axis adjusting plate 512 falls with the retraction of the cylinder rod. The falling position is lower than the staggered roller 51, so the pipe slides along the staggered roller 51 onto the sliding fixed circular rail 58 and continues to slide until it is blocked by the waiting baffle plate 57. At this time, the pipe waiting sensor 56 detects the pipe, that is, the pipe waiting action is completed. After the pipe waiting action is completed, and the position sensor assembly 510 does not detect the pipe, the waiting baffle plate 57 flattens with the retraction of the cylinder, so that the pipe in the waiting area falls until it is blocked by the baffle rubber pad 59. At the same time, the position sensor assembly 510 detects the pipe. At this time, the single pipe has arrived at the loading area and is waiting for the pipe cutter to load it.

[0030] Example 2

[0031] Based on Example 1, such as Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, in the existing technology, manual feeding requires the cooperation of multiple people, which not only wastes human resources but also reduces the laser cutting effect of the pipe. However, in the laser pipe cutting process, the pipe is prone to uneven ends due to placement deviation, which affects the accurate clamping of the laser pipe cutting machine and is difficult to adapt to pipes of different lengths, requiring manual adjustment, thereby increasing labor costs and operational complexity. Therefore, this device is also equipped with a structure to align the pipes.

[0032] During laser tube cutting and feeding, tubes are prone to misalignment at the ends due to placement deviations, affecting the tube cutter's clamping mechanism. Furthermore, it's difficult to adapt to different lengths, requiring manual adjustment, thus increasing cost and operational complexity. To address these issues, the end-aligning mechanism 4 includes an end-aligning adjustment rail 41 installed at one end of the tube rack 1. The other end of the end-aligning adjustment rail 41 is connected to the tube cutter, ensuring precise alignment and accurate clamping position. The end-aligning baffle adjustment rod 42 is made of high-strength steel and undergoes surface quenching treatment, enhancing its structural strength and wear resistance, and providing stable support for adjustment. The other end of the tube rack 1 is connected to the hopper rack 2 via the end-aligning baffle adjustment rod 42. The tube rack 1 is connected to the tube cutter via the end-aligning adjustment rail 41, and the other end is connected to the hopper rack 2 via the end-aligning baffle adjustment rod 42. The adjustable characteristics of both allow the tube rack 1 to move along the Y-axis, thereby adjusting the tube feeding position. The two end-aligning adjustment rails 41 at different positions can accommodate tubes of different lengths.
