Abstract

Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of laser cutting technology, and in particular to a pipe feeding device and a laser cutting equipment. Background Technology
[0002] In automated production lines for laser-cut tubes, the cut tubes need to be transferred to sorting or storage stations for subsequent classification, stacking, or further processing. Because the tubes are cylindrical or have highly smooth surfaces, they are easily affected by inertia, gravity, and differences in the coefficient of friction of the contact surfaces during transfer. This causes the tubes to roll randomly after falling, often resulting in skewness when they reach the sorting structure, which is detrimental to subsequent gripping. Utility Model Content

[0031] Please see Figures 1-2 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the pipe feeding device 100 when the feeding structure 20 provided in the embodiment of this application is in the first position. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the pipe feeding device 100 when the feeding structure 20 provided in the embodiment of this application is in the second position.
[0032] The pipe unloading device 100 proposed in this application can be used in laser cutting equipment. The pipe unloading device 100 includes a material cart 10, a feeding structure 20, and a sorting structure 30. The feeding structure 20 is connected to the material cart 10 and is used to support the pipe. The feeding structure 20 is rotatable relative to the material cart 10 around a first direction X. The feeding structure 20 rotates to a first position so that the pipe on the feeding structure 20 falls into the material cart 10. The sorting structure 30 is connected to the feeding structure 20 and is located on the side of the feeding structure 20 away from the material cart 10. The sorting structure 30 includes a platform 31 and a correction component 32 mounted on the platform 31. The feeding structure 20 rotates to a second position so that the pipe on the feeding structure 20 falls onto the platform 31. The correction component 32 is used to correct the position of the pipe to a preset position.
[0033] The material cart 10 is used to receive pipes that do not require sorting. It is located on one side of the feeding structure 20 to facilitate receiving pipes transferred by the rotating feeding structure 20. In some embodiments, a bandage 11 may be provided inside the material cart 10. The bandage 11 can be fixed to the inner wall of the material cart 10 by hooks, buckles, or other connecting components. When the feeding structure 20 rotates to the first position, such as... Figure 1 As shown, when the pipe falls into the material cart 10, the elasticity of the bandage 11 will absorb part of the impact force, preventing the pipe from directly colliding with the hard inner wall of the material cart 10. This not only reduces the impact damage to the surface of the pipe, but also reduces the impact noise generated when the pipe falls into the material cart 10.
[0034] The feeding structure 20 is used to support and transfer pipes. The feeding structure 20 can rotate relative to the material cart 10, achieving different transfer paths for the pipes by rotating to different positions. When the pipes do not need to be sorted, the feeding structure 20 rotates to the first position, and the pipes on the feeding structure 20 fall into the material cart 10 under the influence of gravity, etc. When the pipes need to be sorted, the feeding structure 20 rotates to the second position, such as... Figure 2As shown, the pipes fall onto platform 31 of sorting structure 30.
[0035] It should be noted that when the feeding structure 20 is in the third position, that is, when it remains horizontal and does not rotate, the feeding structure 20 can be used to support the pipe for cutting. When the pipe is being cut, the feeding structure 20 is in the third position to support the pipe. After the pipe is cut, the feeding structure 20 rotates, causing the pipe to fall along the inclined feeding structure 20 to the material cart 10 or the sorting structure 30, thus achieving automated unloading.
[0036] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the feeding structure 20 provided in this embodiment. The feeding structure 20 includes a pallet 21 and a cylinder 22 connected to the pallet 21. The pipe is placed on the pallet 21, and the cylinder 22 is used to drive the pallet 21 to rotate around a first direction X. The cylinder 22 provides power for the rotation of the pallet 21, and is used to drive the pallet 21 to rotate relative to the material cart 10 around the first direction X. When the pallet 21 rotates to the first position under the drive of the cylinder 22, the pipe on the pallet 21 will fall into the material cart 10 under the action of gravity, etc.; when it rotates to the second position, the pipe falls onto the platform 31 of the sorting structure 30.
[0037] In addition, the cylinder 22 can also drive the pallet 21 to move up and down in the vertical direction, and adjust the rotation angle around the first direction X. The height and angle are adjusted according to the rotation path of the pipe with different cross-sectional shapes after cutting, so that the pallet 21 and the surface of the pipe always remain in contact. The number of cylinders 22 can be two, three or more, with at least two cylinders 22 spaced apart on the pallet 21 along the first direction X. At least two cylinders 22 simultaneously drive the rotation of the pallet 21, which can improve driving stability and load-bearing capacity.
[0038] The feeding structure 20 may also include a bracket 23, on which the cylinder 22 and the pallet 21 are mounted. The bracket 23 is connected to the material cart 10. The bracket 23 provides stable support for the cylinder 22 and the pallet 21, ensuring the structural stability of the pallet 21 and the cylinder 22 during operation.
[0039] The sorting structure 30 is located on the side of the feeding structure 20 away from the material cart 10, and cooperates with the feeding structure 20 to receive the pipes that need to be sorted. The platform 31 is used to receive the pipes transferred from the feeding structure 20, and the correction component 32 is installed on the platform 31 to correct the position of the pipes to a preset position.
[0040] The correction component 32 can consist of a drive component and a push rod. The top of the push rod is positioned corresponding to the side of the pipe. When the pipe falls onto the platform 31, the drive component drives the push rod to extend and apply a pushing force from one side of the pipe, thereby adjusting the pipe to a preset position.
[0041] The correction component 32 can also consist of a vision recognition component and a robotic arm. The vision recognition component first captures an image of the pipe on the platform 31 and analyzes the deviation between the actual position of the pipe and the preset position. The robotic arm then performs translation or rotation operations on the pipe according to the deviation until the pipe is adjusted to the preset position.
[0042] The correction component 32 may also include a positioning element and a driving structure. The positioning element is fixed on the platform 31. When the pipe falls onto the platform 31, the driving mechanism drives the pipe to move, so that the pipe gradually fits into the positioning block. The contour of the positioning block restricts the deviation of the pipe, thereby adjusting the pipe to the preset position and realizing the position correction of the pipe.
[0043] The preset position can be either the axis of the pipe parallel to the first direction X, or perpendicular to the first direction X, or other preset postures, without limitation. The preset position can be adjusted according to the gripping parameters of the subsequent gripping device.
[0044] During the processing of laser-cut pipes, when the pipes are transferred from the feeding structure 20 to the platform 31 of the sorting structure 30, the position of the pipes on the platform 31 is often uncertain due to factors such as changes in the rotational speed of the feeding structure 20 and collisions between the pipes and the surface of the platform 31. This can result in skewness or deviation from the center. Subsequent gripping actions typically require fixed-point gripping, and the skewness of the pipes hinders both manual and automated fixed-point gripping operations.
[0045] The correction component 32 can adjust the position of the pipe on the platform 31, correcting pipes that are tilted or deviated to a preset position. After the pipe is corrected, the pipe position matches the preset gripping parameters of the gripping device, making subsequent gripping actions more convenient and accurate, and greatly improving the gripping success rate.
[0046] In the pipe feeding device 100 and laser cutting equipment provided in this application embodiment, when the pipes do not need to be sorted, the feeding structure 20 rotates to the first position, and the pipes on the feeding structure 20 fall into the material cart 10 under the action of gravity, etc. When the pipes need to be sorted, the feeding structure 20 rotates to the second position, and the pipes fall onto the platform 31 of the sorting structure 30. The correction component 32 can correct the position of the pipes that fall onto the platform 31 to a preset position, which facilitates the subsequent gripping action to achieve fixed-point gripping and improves the gripping success rate.
[0047] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 4 , Figure 4 The pipe feeding device 100 provided in the embodiments of this application Figure 2An enlarged schematic diagram of part A. Optionally, the correction assembly 32 includes a drive member 321 and a push plate 322 connected to the drive member 321. The drive member 321 is connected to the platform 31 and is used to drive the push plate 322 to move along a second direction Y, which is perpendicular to the first direction X.
[0048] When the pipe on the feeding structure 20 falls onto the platform 31, if the pipe is skewed, the driving component 321 drives the push plate 322 to move along the second direction Y. The push plate 322 directly contacts the pipe and pushes the pipe to move, thereby completing the correction of the pipe's position and facilitating subsequent gripping.
[0049] Specifically, the drive component 321 can be fixed to the platform 31 with fasteners such as bolts to ensure the stability of the drive component 321 during operation. The output end of the drive component 321 is connected to the push plate 322. The drive component 321 can be a cylinder, an electric actuator, or a servo motor, etc., and is not limited thereto. The drive component 321 provides stable power output so that the push plate 322 can move along the second direction Y, which can be a direction perpendicular to the first direction X on a horizontal plane.
[0050] When the pipes to be sorted fall onto the platform 31 via the rotating pallet 21 of the feeding structure 20, the pipes may shift in position along the second direction Y due to collisions with the surface of the platform 31. The drive unit 321 starts and drives the pusher plate 322 to move along the second direction Y toward the pipe. After the pusher plate 322 contacts the pipe, it applies a pushing force along the second direction Y to the pipe, causing the pipe to move along the second direction Y under the action of the pushing force until the pipe reaches the preset position, thereby completing the correction of the pipe position.
[0051] The shape of the push plate 322 can be adapted to the shape of the pipe. For example, the side of the push plate 322 that contacts the pipe is designed to be an arc that matches the outer contour of the pipe. This increases the contact area with the pipe when pushing it, making the pipe more evenly stressed and avoiding deformation or surface damage to the pipe due to excessive local stress.
[0052] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 4 Optionally, the number of correction components 32 is at least two, and the at least two correction components 32 are arranged at intervals along the first direction X on the platform 31.
[0053] When the pipe is long, the correction by a single correction component 32 may cause the pipe to bend or twist due to uneven force, affecting the correction effect or causing damage. However, multiple correction components 32 are distributed along the first direction X, which can simultaneously correct the pipe at different positions, moving the pipe to the preset position.
[0054] Each correction component 32's drive element 321 can be controlled independently or synchronously through a control system. Under independent control, some correction components 32 can be selectively activated to correct pipes of different lengths based on their actual offset. Under synchronous control, a unified controller can coordinate the actions of each drive element 321 to ensure synchronized movement of each push plate 322.
[0055] In the practical application of the pipe feeding device 100, the number of correction components 32 can be adjusted according to the length, weight, and correction accuracy of the pipe. The spacing between two adjacent correction components 32 can be set according to the common specifications of the pipe, for example, the spacing can be set to 1 / 3 of the pipe length to ensure a uniform distribution of the pushing force of each push plate 322 on the pipe.
[0056] Optionally, the sorting structure 30 includes a conveying component 33 installed on the platform 31. The conveying component 33 can move relative to the platform 31 along a first direction X. The conveying component 33 is used to convey pipes. When multiple pipes need to be processed sequentially on the platform 31, the conveying component 33 can convey some pipes along the first direction X to the correction component 32 for correction, making room for pipes that fall into the platform 31 later, and realizing continuous sorting operation.
[0057] The conveying component 33 can be connected to the platform 31 via a slide rail slider structure. The slide rail is laid on the surface of the platform 31 along the first direction X. The bottom of the conveying component 33 is fixed to the slider, allowing the conveying component 33 to slide stably along the slide rail. The conveying component 33 can also achieve relative movement with the platform 31 via a chain drive or belt drive mechanism. That is, a sprocket or pulley is installed on the platform 31, and the conveying component 33 is fixed to the chain or belt. By driving the sprocket or pulley to rotate, the conveying component 33 is moved along the first direction X.
[0058] Understandably, if the gripping area of the subsequent gripping device is located at a specific position on the platform 31 along the first direction X, the conveying component 33 can convey the pipe corrected by the correction component 32 to that area, saving gripping time and thus improving sorting efficiency. The conveying component 33 can realize the automated transfer of pipes, reducing manual handling or reliance on gripping devices for long-distance transfer, thereby improving sorting efficiency.
[0059] For pipes that need to be processed in batches, the conveying component 33 can orderly convey the pipes to the correction component 32 for correction, and can also convey the corrected pipes to the gripping area to avoid multiple pipes piling up on the platform 31 and improve the overall sorting efficiency.
[0060] Please see Figure 2Optionally, the sorting structure 30 includes a first baffle 34 mounted on the platform 31, the first baffle 34 being used to limit the displacement of the tubing in a first direction X. The first baffle 34 can prevent the tubing from falling off the tail end of the conveying assembly 33 as it is being conveyed.
[0061] Specifically, the first baffle 34 can be fixedly installed at the end position of the platform 31 along the first direction X by means of bolts, welding or other methods. For example, the first baffle 34 is set at the tail end of the platform 31, that is, at the tail end along the moving direction of the conveying assembly 33.
[0062] The first baffle 34 extends along the second direction Y to simultaneously restrict multiple pipes. The first baffle 34 can also be connected to the platform 31 via an adjustable structure, allowing the first baffle 34 to adjust its specific position on the platform 31 in the first direction X according to the length of the pipe. The height of the first baffle 34 is adjustable to accommodate pipes of different heights.
[0063] In actual operation, when the conveying component 33 conveys the pipe along the first direction X, the pipe moves towards the first baffle 34 until the end of the pipe abuts against the first baffle 34. At this point, the first baffle 34 prevents the pipe from continuing to move along the first direction X. If the gripping point of the subsequent gripping device has a fixed position in the first direction X, the first baffle 34 can ensure that the pipe is conveyed to that fixed position along the first direction X each time. This not only prevents the pipe from being conveyed out of the platform 31 along the first direction X, but also restricts the pipe within the fixed position to facilitate gripping by the gripping device.
[0064] In some embodiments, the first baffle 34 is provided with a first buffer layer, which can absorb the impact force generated when the pipe comes into contact with the first baffle 34, and prevent the pipe from being damaged by impacting the first baffle 34. The first buffer layer can be made of materials such as rubber or silicone.
[0065] Optionally, the sorting structure 30 includes a second baffle 35 mounted on the platform 31. The second baffle 35 is located on the side of the platform 31 opposite to the feeding structure 20. The second baffle 35 is used to limit the displacement of the pipe in the second direction Y, which is perpendicular to the first direction X. When the feeding structure 20 rotates to the second position, causing the pipe to fall onto the platform 31 along the second direction Y, the pipe may have a certain initial velocity or roll due to gravity during the fall. The second baffle 35 can prevent the pipe from rolling excessively and falling out of the sorting structure 30.
[0066] If the preset position of the pipe is such that its axis is parallel to the first direction X, and the length of the second baffle 35 extends along the first direction X, the second baffle 35 can also cooperate with the correction component 32 to correct the position of the pipe. When the drive component 321 of the correction component 32 drives the push plate 322 to move along the second direction Y, the push plate 322 applies a pushing force from the side of the pipe away from the second baffle 35, pushing the pipe toward the second baffle 35 until the pipe abuts against the second baffle 35. When the side of the pipe is in contact with the second baffle 35, the axis of the pipe can be made parallel to the edge of the second baffle 35, thereby achieving parallelism with the first direction X and completing the correction of the pipe's posture.
[0067] The bottom end of the second baffle 35 can be installed on the platform 31 by welding, bolting, or other methods to ensure that the second baffle 35 has sufficient strength and stability to withstand the impact force of the pipe. The height of the second baffle 35 should be adjustable according to the size and rolling speed of the pipe to effectively prevent it from rolling further, or the height of the second baffle 35 can be adjusted to accommodate pipes of different heights.
[0068] In some embodiments, a second buffer layer is provided on the side of the second baffle 35 facing the feeding structure 20. The second buffer layer can absorb the impact force generated when the pipe comes into contact with the second baffle 35, preventing the pipe from being damaged by impacting the second baffle 35. The second buffer layer can be made of materials such as rubber or silicone.
[0069] Please see Figure 2 Optionally, the sorting structure 30 also includes a connecting plate 36, one end of which is connected to the platform 31 and the other end of which is connected to the feeding structure 20.
[0070] When the feeding structure 20 rotates to the second position, the pipe on the feeding structure 20 falls onto the connecting plate 36 and then onto the platform 31 under the action of gravity. The connecting plate 36 serves as a transition plate, making the distance and positional relationship between the platform 31 and the feeding structure 20 relatively stable. This avoids the relative position of the platform 31 and the feeding structure 20 from shifting due to vibrations during the operation of the pipe feeding device 100 or impacts during pipe transfer, which could cause the pipe to easily fall off or deviate from the platform 31 during the transfer process.
[0071] The connecting plate 36 can be fixed to the platform 31 and the feeding structure 20 by means of bolts, welding, etc., to form a stable connection. For example, one end of the connecting plate 36 can be fastened to the preset mounting hole on the edge of the platform 31 by bolts, and the other end is connected to the bracket 23 of the feeding structure 20 to ensure that the relative position between the platform 31 and the feeding structure 20 remains fixed.
[0072] In one embodiment, the connecting plate 36 is a rectangular plate. One end of the connecting plate 36 is connected to the platform 31, and the other end is inclined upward to connect with the feeding structure 20. When the feeding structure 20 is rotated to the second position, the feeding structure 20 and the connecting plate 36 form an inclined plane with the same slope. Therefore, the pipe on the feeding structure 20 can slide down the connecting plate 36 onto the platform 31.
[0073] In another embodiment, the connecting plate 36 is an L-shaped plate, with its vertical side connected to the feeding structure 20 and its horizontal side connected to the platform 31. When the feeding structure 20 rotates to the second position, the pipes on the feeding structure 20 can slide down onto the platform 31 through the plate of the connecting plate 36, thus preventing the pipes from falling to the ground.
[0074] Please see Figure 2 Optionally, the sorting structure 30 also includes a gripping component 37 for clamping and transferring pipes on the transfer platform 31. The gripping component 37 automates the clamping and transfer of pipes, replacing traditional manual operation and greatly improving production efficiency.
[0075] The gripping assembly 37 may include a clamping element and a drive source. The clamping element can take various forms, such as pneumatic grippers, hydraulic grippers, electric grippers, etc., and the shape of the gripper can be designed according to the specific shape of the pipe. The drive source is used to control the opening and closing action of the gripper, such as by providing power through cylinders, motors, etc.
[0076] When the calibration component 32 calibrates the position of the pipe and the conveying component 33 transports the pipe to the preset gripping position, the gripping component 37 moves above the pipe under the instruction of the control system, and then descends until the gripper contacts the pipe. The drive source drives the gripper to close, firmly clamping the pipe.
[0077] The corrected pipes can be sorted by the gripping component 37. For example, the gripping component 37 can transfer the corrected pipes to the corresponding target area according to the length of the pipes or the sorting requirements of subsequent processes, so as to realize automated sorting and palletizing.
[0078] This application also provides a laser cutting device, including the pipe feeding device 100 described in any of the above embodiments and a laser cutting device. The laser cutting device is located above the feeding structure 20 of the pipe feeding device 100 and is used to cut the pipe on the feeding structure 20. Since the laser cutting device of this application uses the aforementioned pipe feeding device 100, it at least has the beneficial effects of the aforementioned pipe feeding device 100, which will not be repeated here.
[0079] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and does not limit the patent scope of this application. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the inventive concept of this application and the contents of the specification and drawings of this application, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of this application.
