Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of auxiliary equipment for pipe processing, and in particular to a pipe feeding rack structure with automatic positioning function. Background Technology
[0002] In a pipe processing production line, the loading rack is a crucial transfer device connecting the pipe storage area with subsequent cutting, welding, and surface treatment equipment. Its performance directly determines the continuity and processing accuracy of the production line. From a production process perspective, the pipes in the storage area are mostly stacked in batches and need to be orderly retrieved and transported to the processing station via the loading rack.
[0003] Current pipe loading racks typically lift the pipes first, then convey them to achieve the loading effect. However, during pipe lifting, the separation of the pipe from the lifting device fails to provide timely and effective constraint, potentially causing the pipes to deviate in direction and affecting the loading process. To address this, we provide a pipe loading rack structure with an automatic positioning function. Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model provides a pipe feeding rack structure with automatic positioning function to solve the technical problems existing in the background art.
[0005] The purpose and effect of this utility model of a pipe feeding rack structure with automatic positioning function are achieved by the following specific technical means: A pipe feeding rack structure with automatic positioning function includes a material holding frame, a feeding component is provided on one side of the material holding frame, the feeding component includes a motor installed on the front of the material holding frame and a set of transmission rollers rotatably connected to the material holding frame, the output end of the motor is connected to one of the transmission rollers, a conveyor belt is sleeved on the outside of the set of transmission rollers, and pallets arranged at equal intervals are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the conveyor belt;
[0006] A conveying assembly is provided on one side of the material holding frame. The conveying assembly includes a U-shaped frame located on one side of the top of the conveyor belt, and a pushing structure for positioning and conveying the pipe is provided on the U-shaped frame.
[0007] Preferably, the pushing structure includes a set of rotating rollers rotatably connected to the inner wall of the U-shaped frame and a motor installed on the front of the U-shaped frame. The output end of the motor is connected to one of the rotating rollers. A transmission belt is sleeved on the outside of the set of rotating rollers. Positioning plates arranged at equal intervals are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the transmission belt.
[0008] Preferably, anti-collision pads are fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of each positioning plate.

[0014] Beneficial effects:
[0015] 1. By coordinating the conveying and feeding components, the feeding component can lift the pipe upwards and move it onto the U-shaped frame.

Detailed Implementation
[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 of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 4 As shown: A pipe loading rack structure with automatic positioning function includes a loading frame 1. A loading component 2 is provided on one side of the loading frame 1. The loading component 2 includes a motor 201 installed on the front of the loading frame 1 and a set of transmission rollers 202 rotatably connected to the loading frame 1. The output end of the motor 201 is connected to one of the transmission rollers 202. A conveyor belt 203 is sleeved on the outside of the set of transmission rollers 202. Equally spaced pallets 204 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the conveyor belt 203. The pallets 204 can support the loaded pipes. Then, the motor 201 is started, and the transmission rollers 202 will synchronously drive the conveyor belt 203 to rotate. The conveyor belt 203 will drive the pallets 204 to rotate and move, thereby completing the lifting of the pipes.
[0025] A trapezoidal guide plate 4 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the material holding frame 1. The upper surface of the trapezoidal guide plate 4 is above the bottom end of the conveyor belt 203. The trapezoidal guide plate 4 can guide the pipe, thereby ensuring that the pipe slides stably onto the support plate 204. A set of guide plates 5 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the trapezoidal guide plate 4. The sides of the set of guide plates 5 that are far apart from each other are connected to the inner wall of the material holding frame 1. The guide plates 5 can limit the pipe rolling off the trapezoidal guide plate 4, thereby ensuring that both ends of the pipe are within the effective support range of the support plate 204.
[0026] An annular plate 6 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the material holding frame 1. The annular plate 6 is located at the top of the conveyor belt 203. When the support plate 204 supports the pipe and moves, the pipe will pass through the annular plate 6 and flip to the other side of the conveyor belt 203. The pipe will only fall off after it separates from the annular plate 6. This can avoid the problem of the pipe falling off prematurely and ensure that the pipe is always smoothly conveyed to the discharge end along the preset trajectory, thus ensuring the stability of the entire feeding process.
[0027] A conveying assembly 3 is provided on one side of the material holding frame 1. The conveying assembly 3 includes a U-shaped frame 301 located on one side of the top of the conveyor belt 203. When the pipe falls, it rolls onto the U-shaped frame 301, which simultaneously forms a limiting constraint on the pipe, effectively preventing it from tilting. The U-shaped frame 301 is provided with a pushing structure for positioning and conveying the pipe. The pushing structure includes a set of rotating rollers 302 rotatably connected to the inner wall of the U-shaped frame 301 and a motor 303 installed on the front of the U-shaped frame 301. The output end of the motor 303 is connected to one of the rotating rollers 302. A transmission belt 304 is sleeved on the outside of the set of rotating rollers 302. Positioning plates 305 arranged at equal intervals are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the transmission belt 304. After falling onto the U-shaped frame 301, the pipe will come to a smooth stop on one side of the positioning plate 305 and make contact with it. Then, the motor 303 is controlled to work, and the motor 303 drives the rotating roller 302 to rotate. The rotating roller 302 drives the transmission belt 304 to move synchronously, which in turn drives the positioning plate 305 fixed on the surface of the transmission belt 304 to rotate slowly. As the positioning plate 305 rotates, it will move to the other side of the pipe and make contact with its exterior, thus forming a timely positioning of the pipe delivered to the U-shaped frame 301. At the same time, the pipe can be transported, further ensuring the normal operation of the pipe feeding. Anti-collision pads 306 are fixedly connected to both sides of each positioning plate 305. The anti-collision pads 306 can prevent the pipe from colliding and being damaged with the positioning plate 305.
[0028] A set of brackets 307 are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the U-shaped frame 301. The bottom end of each bracket 307 is connected to one side of the material holding frame 1. The brackets 307 can provide support and stability to the U-shaped frame 301, ensuring its stability when conveying pipes. A triangular wedge block 308 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the bottom end of the U-shaped frame 301. The triangular wedge block 308 is located on the right side of the U-shaped frame 301. The triangular wedge block 308 can guide the falling pipes, thereby ensuring that they roll towards the positioning plate 305.
[0029] Working principle: During operation, the pipes to be processed are neatly stacked on the trapezoidal guide plate 4 inside the material holding frame 1. Then, by controlling the motor 201, the transmission roller 202 drives the conveyor belt 203 to rotate synchronously. As the conveyor belt 203 slowly rotates, the pipes roll along the inclined surface of the trapezoidal guide plate 4 onto the support plate 204. The support plate 204 supports a single pipe and lifts it upwards with the rotation of the conveyor belt 203. When the support plate 204 flips to the other side of the material holding frame 1 with the conveyor belt 203, the pipe smoothly detaches from the support plate 204 under gravity and rolls onto the U-shaped frame 301. Simultaneously, the U-shaped frame 301 can... By constraining the pipe, radial skew can be prevented. The pipe will smoothly stop and contact the positioning plate 305. Then, the motor 303 is controlled to work. The motor 303 drives the rotating roller 302 to rotate. The rotating roller 302 drives the transmission belt 304 to move synchronously, which in turn drives the positioning plate 305 fixed on the surface of the transmission belt 304 to rotate slowly. As the positioning plate 305 rotates, it will move to the other side of the pipe and contact its exterior. This forms the timely positioning of the pipe conveyed to the U-shaped frame 301. At the same time, the pipe can be conveyed, further ensuring the normal operation of the pipe feeding work.
