Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of steel pipe cutting technology, and in particular relates to a material delivery structure for steel pipe cutting. Background Technology

[0002] Steel pipes are not only used for transporting fluids and powdery solids, exchanging heat energy, and manufacturing mechanical parts and containers, but they are also an economical steel material. Using steel pipes to manufacture building structural frames, columns, and mechanical supports can reduce weight, save 20-40% of metal, and enable factory-based mechanized construction. Using steel pipes to construct highway bridges not only saves steel and simplifies construction, but also significantly reduces the area requiring protective coatings, saving investment and maintenance costs. They are especially widely used in building construction. Steel pipe cutting machines are used to cut steel pipes. Existing steel pipe cutting machines generally involve placing the steel pipe on a cutting table and then cutting it using the machine.

[0003] When cutting steel pipes, they need to be placed on the surface of the material rack and then transported by a conveyor belt. After the steel pipe is cut, another steel pipe needs to be reset on the material rack. This step is a bit cumbersome. Therefore, a material feeding structure for steel pipe cutting is needed. Multiple steel pipes can be placed at an angle and then fed through a stepped material feeding structure, so that the material supply needs within a certain period of steel pipe cutting can be met, thereby improving the material feeding efficiency of steel pipe cutting.

By placing multiple steel pipes at an angle and then feeding them through a stepped material feeding structure, the material supply needs within a certain period of steel pipe cutting can be met, thereby improving the material feeding efficiency of steel pipe cutting and solving the technical problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: A material feeding structure for cutting steel pipes includes a material rack and a stepped box. A control box and a cylinder are fixedly connected to the surface of the material rack by bolts. A push plate is fixedly connected to the output end of the cylinder. A cutting table fixed to the ground is set on the outside of the material rack. A cutting component is installed on the top of the cutting table. A positioning block and a positioning block are installed on the top of the material rack. An infrared sensor is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the positioning block by bolts. An inclined platform fixed to the ground is set on the outside of the material rack. A support plate is welded to the inner wall of the stepped box. A top plate is slidably connected to the inner wall of the stepped box. A connecting plate is fixedly connected to the surface of the top plate. A cylinder is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the stepped box. A conveyor belt is installed on the top of the cutting table. A stop block is fixedly connected to the surface of the cutting table.

[0006] Preferably, the surface of the stepped box is fixedly connected to a guide plate by bolts.

[0022] Example 2:

[0023] Figure 1-3 This invention illustrates a material feeding structure for cutting steel pipes according to an embodiment of the present invention. It includes a material rack 1 and a stepped box 2. A control box 4 and a cylinder 5 are bolted to the surface of the material rack 1. A push plate 6 is fixedly connected to the output end of the cylinder 5. A cutting table 7, fixed to the ground, is located on the outer side of the material rack 1. A cutting assembly 8 is mounted on the top of the cutting table 7. A positioning block 9 and a positioning block 10 are mounted on the top of the material rack 1. An infrared sensor 11 is bolted to the inner wall of the positioning block 9. An inclined plate fixed to the ground is located on the outer side of the material rack 1. The inner wall of the stepped box 2 is welded with a support plate 13. The inner wall of the stepped box 2 is slidably connected with a top plate 14. A connecting plate 15 is fixedly connected to the surface of the top plate 14. A cylinder 16 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the stepped box 2. A conveyor belt 17 is installed on the top of the cutting table 7. A stop block 18 is fixedly connected to the surface of the cutting table 7. Cylinder 16, cylinder 5, conveyor belt 17 and infrared sensor 11 are all electrically connected to the control box 4 through wires. The tops of the inclined table 12, support plate 13, top plate 14 and guide plate 3 are all inclined forward and downward.

[0024] Working principle: When using this utility model, the user lays the steel pipe on the top of the inclined platform 12, allowing the steel pipe to move to the top of the pallet 13 under the action. When the infrared sensor 11 detects that there is a lack of material at the top of the conveyor belt 17, the control box 4 controls the cylinder 16 to open and drive the top plate 14 to deliver the steel pipe in a stepped manner, so that the steel pipe falls to the top of the material rack 1. Then, the cylinder 5 drives the push plate 6 to push the steel pipe to the top of the conveyor belt 17. Then, the conveyor belt 17 transports the steel pipe to abut against the stop block 18. With the cooperation of the positioning block 10 and the positioning block 9, the steel pipe is positioned. Then, the cutting component 8 cuts the steel pipe. By placing multiple steel pipes at an incline and then feeding them through the stepped material delivery structure, the material supply needs within a certain period of steel pipe cutting can be met, thereby improving the efficiency of steel pipe cutting and material delivery.

[0025] In summary, this steel pipe cutting material feeding structure uses an infrared sensor 11 to detect a lack of material at the top of the conveyor belt 17. This allows the control box 4 to control the second cylinder 16 to open and drive the top plate 14 to feed the steel pipe in a stepped manner, allowing the steel pipe to fall to the top of the material rack 1. Subsequently, the first cylinder 5 drives the push plate 6 to push the steel pipe to the top of the conveyor belt 17. This achieves the goal of improving the material feeding efficiency of steel pipe cutting by placing multiple steel pipes at an angle and then feeding them through the stepped feeding structure, thus meeting the material supply needs within a certain cycle of steel pipe cutting.
