Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steel pipe defect sorting technology, and more specifically, it relates to a steel pipe defect sorting device. Background Technology

[0002] During the steel pipe production process, due to factors such as rolling process, cooling deformation, and handling collision, straightness defects such as bending and excessive deflection are easily generated. It is necessary to use a steel pipe defect sorting device to sort out the bent steel pipes.

[0003] Currently, when sorting bent steel pipes, a support plate is usually placed on the side of the pipe. By observing whether there is a gap between the side wall of the pipe and the support plate, if there is a gap, it proves that the pipe is bent, and the bent pipe is sorted out. This requires people to rotate the pipe and inspect multiple sides of the pipe to determine its straightness. This inspection and sorting method is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and requires at least two people to cooperate, which reduces its practicality. Utility Model Content

[0035] Please see Figure 3 A pusher plate 29 is slidably provided on the bottom side of the inner side of the regulating trough 19. A third electric cylinder 30 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the base 1. The telescopic end of the third electric cylinder 30 is fixedly connected to the side end of the pusher plate 29. A second discharge port 31 communicating with the bottom side of the inner side of the regulating trough 19 is provided at the front end of the base 1, so as to facilitate the cleaning out of the residue inside the regulating trough 19.

[0036] Specifically, the third electric cylinder 30 drives the pusher plate 29 to move forward, so that the pusher plate 29 moves forward from below the adjusting seat 18. The pusher plate 29 pushes the residue inside the adjusting trough 19 out of the second discharge port 31, which facilitates the cleaning of the residue inside the adjusting trough 19.

[0037] In summary, when using the overall equipment:

[0038] The first electric cylinder 20 pushes the support seat 2 to the front of the fixed frame 7, and places the steel pipes to be inspected and sorted on the two support rollers 5. The diameter of the steel pipes to be inspected and sorted is determined as needed. The first electric cylinder 20 drives the top plate 25, two vertical columns 24, horizontal plate 26, vertical plate 8 and multiple sorting components to move up and down, and adjusts the multiple sorting components to a suitable height. Then, the switch on the circuit connected to multiple indicator lights 16 is turned on, and the first electric cylinder 20 moves the support seat 2 to the rear side. At this time, the steel pipe is moved below the multiple sorting components. If the steel pipe is bent, the upturned position will push the detection plate 12, sliding plate 11 and sliding plate 13 to move upward. At this time, the two conductive plates 15 separate, and the corresponding indicator lights 16 are turned off, so that people can determine which position of the steel pipe is upturned, so as to facilitate the inspection and sorting of steel pipes with bending defects. At the same time, the two motors 6 drive the two support rollers 5 to rotate, and the two support rollers 5 drive the steel pipe to rotate slowly, which facilitates the inspection of the straightness of each side of the steel pipe.
