Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of measuring device technology, specifically a high-frequency welded pipe length measuring and weighing device. Background Technology

[0002] High-frequency welded pipe is a type of steel pipe that is formed by heating the edges of a steel strip to a molten state using resistance heat generated by a high-frequency current, and then applying pressure to weld it into shape. To ensure that each pipe is of consistent length and reduce scrap or rework caused by length discrepancies, and to prevent underweighting or overuse of materials, the length and weight of high-frequency welded pipes are often measured during production.

[0003] The patent with publication number CN222418858U discloses a high-frequency welded pipe length measuring and weighing device. This device includes a base, with a weighing mechanism fixedly mounted on the upper end of the base. The weighing mechanism is used to detect the weight of the high-frequency welded pipe. A length measuring mechanism is also fixedly mounted on the upper end of the weighing mechanism to detect the length of the high-frequency welded pipe. The weighing mechanism includes a weighing frame, with two weighing rods slidably mounted inside the frame. Each weighing rod has a weighing spring fitted on its outer surface. One weighing rod has a weighing plate on its outer surface, and the other weighing rod has a weighing clamping plate on its outer surface. This device, through the weighing mechanism, enables accurate weighing of the high-frequency welded pipe, and through the length measuring mechanism, enables accurate length measurement of the high-frequency welded pipe.

[0004] However, the aforementioned length measuring and weighing device still has the following problems in actual use:

[0005] High-frequency welded pipes come in various length specifications (such as 6 meters, 12 meters, etc.). When using a two-end clamping method for length measurement, the unfolded length of the measuring device must not be less than the maximum length of the pipe. However, length measurement is not performed continuously, and the equipment is idle most of the time, stored in the factory. This results in the measuring device occupying a lot of space, causing inconvenience to the factory layout and daily operations. Utility Model Content

[0010] Furthermore, several columns are fixedly connected to the outer walls on both sides of the V-shaped plate, and the lower ends of the columns are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the tabletop.

[0011] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism includes a guide plate and a hydraulic rod. The outer wall of the hydraulic rod is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the platform. The output end of the hydraulic rod passes through the middle of the guide plate and is slidably connected to the guide plate.

One of the No. 1 rollers 4 is connected to the output end of the moving mechanism. Several pressing components are aligned with the center line of the V-shaped plate 3. Pressure sensors are provided inside some of the No. 1 rollers 4 in the two groups of No. 1 rollers 4.

[0032] More specifically, by setting up support components, a stable support can be provided for the high-frequency welded pipe from below, while limiting the extension direction of the high-frequency welded pipe so that it will not tilt or deviate at an angle. In addition, with the help of several pressure sensors, the weight of the high-frequency welded pipe resting on the No. 1 roller 4 can be directly measured.

[0033] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the moving mechanism includes a support block 13, a motor 14, and a transmission rod 17.

[0034] More specifically, by setting up a moving mechanism, the high-frequency welded pipe can be controlled to move between the support assembly and the pressing assembly when it is necessary to measure the length of the high-frequency welded pipe.

[0035] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, several columns 2 are fixedly connected to the outer walls on both sides of the V-shaped plate 3, and the lower ends of the columns 2 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the table 1.

[0042] More specifically, by setting up a pressing component, a downward force can be applied to the high-frequency welded pipe from above, so that the high-frequency welded pipe will not tilt due to uneven gravity when it moves left and right with the moving mechanism.

[0045] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the monitoring mechanism includes an L-shaped frame 5, an infrared sensor receiver 6, and an infrared sensor transmitter 15. The lower end of the L-shaped frame 5 and the infrared sensor receiver 6 are both fixedly connected to the platform 1, and the upper end of the L-shaped frame 5 is fixedly connected to the infrared sensor transmitter 15. The infrared sensor transmitter 15 is aligned with the infrared sensor receiver 6.

[0046] More specifically, by setting up a monitoring mechanism, it is possible to make accurate and timely detections when it is necessary to measure the length of high-frequency welded pipes.

[0047] Working principle:

[0048] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, when using the high-frequency welded pipe length measuring and weighing device of this utility model, firstly, when the measurement is required, simply place the high-frequency welded pipe to be measured into the opening on the side of the V-shaped plate 3 away from the hydraulic rod 9. At this time, the high-frequency welded pipe can be stably placed on the V-shaped plate 3 due to gravity (it is not necessary to place the high-frequency welded pipe exactly in the middle of the V-shaped plate 3 when placing it, just ensure that the high-frequency welded pipe does not have uneven force at both ends and does not tilt).

[0049] The high-frequency welded pipe placed on the V-shaped plate 3 acts on the No. 1 roller 4 due to gravity. At this time, the pressure sensor located inside part of the No. 1 roller 4 simultaneously senses this weight, and can transmit all of this electrical signal to the external control system (such as a computer display screen, PLC controller, etc., usually equipped with a controller with the same function, this is existing technology and will not be described in detail here). Afterwards, the staff analyzes these data (it can be analyzed manually or automatically by the system, this is also existing technology).

[0050] Next, the length of the high-frequency welded pipe needs to be measured. First, the hydraulic rod 9 is activated, and the output end of the hydraulic rod 9 is retracted, so that the lifting plate 8, guide rod 10, L-shaped rod 11, U-shaped pressure plate 12 and several No. 2 rollers 16 can be lowered together, and then the several No. 2 rollers 16 can be pressed on the top of the high-frequency welded pipe. Together with the several No. 1 rollers 4 on the V-shaped plate 3, the high-frequency welded pipe is clamped, so that the high-frequency welded pipe will not tilt up.

[0051] Then, the motor 14 is turned on. The output shaft of the motor 14 drives the transmission rod 17 to rotate. The rotation of the transmission rod 17 drives one of the first rollers 4 connected to it to rotate. Then, through the friction between the first roller 4 and the second roller 16, the high-frequency welded pipe between them is displaced.

[0052] As the high-frequency welded pipe moves, one end of the high-frequency welded pipe will move into the interior of the V-shaped plate 3. At this time, one end of the high-frequency welded pipe will pass between the infrared sensor receiver 6 and the infrared sensor transmitter 15 located at this end of the V-shaped plate 3. At this time, there is no obstruction between the infrared sensor receiver 6 and the infrared sensor transmitter 15, and the electrical signal can be transmitted to the external control system. Then the control system immediately records the data at this time as zero point.

[0053] Then, motor 14 controls roller 4 to reverse, causing the high-frequency welded pipe to return until the other end of the high-frequency welded pipe passes through another set of infrared sensor receivers 6 and infrared sensor transmitters 15. At this point, the measurement result can be obtained without manual operation.

[0054] After measuring the weight and length of the high-frequency welded pipe through the above steps, the motor 14 controls the high-frequency welded pipe to move back to a position where it will not fall directly. Then, the hydraulic rod 9 can be used to release the second roller 16, and then the high-frequency welded pipe can be taken out and a new high-frequency welded pipe can be placed. After all the high-frequency welded pipes are measured, the total length of the entire device is only the length of the table 1. The table 1 can be one meter long, but it can measure high-frequency welded pipes that are several times longer than its own length, saving space.

[0055] 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.
