Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steel pipe processing feeding rack technology, and in particular to a feeding device for steel pipe processing. Background Technology
[0002] After steel pipes are cut or formed, sharp metal burrs remain at the ends, which can easily scratch operators or damage other parts during handling, assembly, or use. Therefore, it is necessary to deburr the ends of the steel pipes. In specific operations, a feeding device collects the pipes cut or formed into fixed-length sections and continuously supplies them to the deburring equipment for processing.
[0003] Common feeding devices typically feature an inclined material plate of a certain width, with the short side of the plate aligned with the discharge port of the cutting and forming equipment. The initially formed tube falls onto the material plate and rolls downwards under gravity. Furthermore, limiting baffles are installed on the two long sides of the material plate to prevent the tube from detaching from the plate during rolling. After the tube rolls downwards to the short side of the material plate, it is clamped by a clamping device and fed into the deburring equipment for processing.
[0004] However, during the material feeding process, the pipe axis needs to be kept parallel to the short side of the material plate at all times to ensure the feeding angle of the deburring equipment. However, the pipe end is prone to contact or even collision with the limiting baffles on both sides of the material plate, which causes the pipe to deviate and get stuck between the two limiting baffles, resulting in poor feeding and affecting the operating efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a feeding device for steel pipe processing, which solves the problem that material jamming and poor feeding can occur when the end of the pipe collidees with the limiting baffle.
[0006] According to an embodiment of this utility model, a feeding device for steel pipe processing includes a frame, a feeding plate, a blocking component, a gripping component, and a driving component. The feeding plate is inclinedly installed on the top of the frame and is used to support the pipe. The blocking component is installed on the top of the inclined upward end of the feeding plate and is used to temporarily block the pipe. The gripping component is installed on both sides of the feeding plate and is used to drive the pipe blocked by the blocking component to move towards the inclined downward end of the feeding plate. The driving component is installed at the bottom of the feeding plate and is used to drive the gripping component to rotate.
[0007] In the above embodiment, the cut and shaped tube falls onto the feeding plate and rolls downwards towards the end of the feeding plate due to gravity. At this time, the tube will come into contact with the blocking component, which temporarily blocks the tube. This achieves the purpose of making the tube axis parallel to the short side of the feeding plate. Furthermore, the driving component drives the gripping components at both ends of the feeding plate to rotate. The gripping components drive the tube blocked by the blocking component to move downwards towards the end of the feeding plate. The gripping components actively drive the tube to move, making the tube move downwards stably, thereby ensuring the smoothness of the feeding.
[0008] In some embodiments, two strip-shaped through holes are formed opposite each other at the top of one of the upwardly inclined ends of the feed plate, and the material blocking element is disposed in the strip-shaped through holes.
[0009] In some embodiments, the material blocking element includes a pair of coil springs respectively disposed in the two strip-shaped through holes and a pair of levers respectively mounted outside the coil springs, the top of the levers extending to the top outside of the strip-shaped through holes.
[0010] In some embodiments, the material gripping component includes a plurality of rotating shafts rotatably mounted on the feeding plate and rotating wheels fixedly mounted on both ends of the rotating shafts extending to the outer side of the feeding plate. The rotating wheels on the same side are rotatably fitted with the same rotating belt. A plurality of material grabbing plates are evenly distributed on the outer side of the two rotating belts. The driving component is connected to the middle part of the rotating shaft.
[0011] In some embodiments, the drive unit includes a side motor fixedly mounted on the bottom of the feed plate and a first belt drivingly connected between the rotating shaft and the output shaft of the motor.
[0012] In some embodiments, the feed plate is provided with side plates perpendicular to the rotating shaft on both sides.
[0013] In some embodiments, a reciprocating screw parallel to the rotating shaft is rotatably mounted in the middle of the feeding plate. Both ends of the reciprocating screw extend to the outer sides of the feeding plate. Both ends of the reciprocating screw are threaded with threaded sleeves that are fixedly connected to the bottom of the two side plates. A second belt is rotatably connected between the end of the reciprocating screw and the output shaft of the motor. The side plates are slidably connected to the feeding plate.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following beneficial effects: by adopting the method of making the pipe parallel by using the material blocking component and driving the pipe by the material grabbing component, it solves the technical problem in the existing material feeding device that the pipe end side collides with the limiting baffle, which will cause the material to jam and thus make the feeding difficult. This achieves the technical effect of improving the stability of the operation process and thus ensuring the operation efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0021] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "transverse", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential", etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
[0022] In an exemplary implementation, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, this embodiment provides a feeding device for steel pipe processing, including a frame 100, a feeding plate 200, a blocking component 300, a gripping component 400, and a driving component 500. The feeding plate 200 is installed obliquely on the top of the frame 100 and is used to support the pipe. The blocking component 300 is installed on the top of the obliquely upward end of the feeding plate 200 and is used to temporarily block the pipe. The gripping component 400 is installed on both sides of the feeding plate 200 and is used to drive the pipe blocked by the blocking component 300 to move towards the obliquely downward end of the feeding plate 200. The driving component 500 is installed at the bottom of the feeding plate 200 and is used to drive the gripping component 400 to rotate.
[0023] In this embodiment, the cut and shaped pipe falls onto the feed plate 200 and rolls downwards towards the end of the feed plate 200 under gravity. At this time, the pipe will come into contact with the blocking component 300, which temporarily blocks the pipe. This achieves the purpose of making the pipe axis parallel to the short side of the feed plate 200. Furthermore, the drive component 500 drives the gripping components 400 at both ends of the feed plate 200 to rotate. The gripping components 400 drive the pipe blocked by the blocking component 300 to move towards the downward tilt of the feed plate 200. The gripping components 400 actively drive the pipe to move, making the pipe move downwards stably, thereby ensuring the smoothness of the feed.
[0024] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1-4 The feed plate 200 has two strip-shaped through holes 210 facing each other at the top of its upwardly inclined end. The material blocking component 300 is disposed in the strip-shaped through holes 210. The material blocking component 300 includes a pair of coil springs 310 respectively disposed in the two strip-shaped through holes 210 and a pair of levers 320 respectively installed outside the coil springs 310. The top of the levers 320 extends to the outer side of the top of the strip-shaped through holes 210.
[0025] In this embodiment, the two levers 320 are on the same horizontal line. The tube rolls with gravity and is blocked by the levers 320, so that the axis of the tube is parallel to the short side of the feed plate 200. When the gripper 400 moves the tube, the tube squeezes the levers 320, causing the levers 320 to rotate into the strip-shaped through hole 210 and be parallel to the feed plate 200. When the tube moves away, the levers 320 are reset under the action of the coil spring 310, and block the next rolling tube again.
[0026] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1-4 The material gripping component 400 includes several rotating shafts 410 rotatably mounted on the feed plate 200 and rotating wheels 420 fixedly mounted on both ends of the rotating shafts 410 extending to the outer side of the feed plate 200. The rotating wheels 420 located on the same side are rotatably fitted with the same rotating belt 430. Several material picking plates 440 are evenly distributed on the outside of the two rotating belts 430. The driving component 500 is connected to the middle of the rotating shaft 410.
[0027] In this embodiment, the drive unit 500 drives the rotating shaft 410 to rotate, and the rotating shaft 410 drives the rotating belt 430 outside the rotating wheel 420 to rotate. The two sets of material picking plates 440 can contact the two ends of the pipe under the drive of the rotating belt 430, and thus drive the pipe to move to one side.
[0028] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1-4 The drive unit 500 includes a motor 510 fixedly installed on one side of the bottom of the feed plate 200 and a first belt 520 that is connected between the rotating shaft 410 and the output shaft of the motor 510.
[0029] In this embodiment, the motor 510 drives the rotating shaft 410 to rotate via the first belt 520.
[0030] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1-3 Both sides of the feed plate 200 are provided with side plates 600 perpendicular to the rotating shaft 410.
[0031] In this embodiment, the side plate 600 can be used to restrict the pipe and prevent it from falling off.
[0032] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1-4 A reciprocating screw 700 parallel to the rotating shaft 410 is rotatably mounted in the middle of the feed plate 200. Both ends of the reciprocating screw 700 extend to the outside of both sides of the feed plate 200. Both ends of the reciprocating screw 700 are threaded with threaded sleeves 710 that are fixedly connected to the bottom of the side plates 600. The end of the reciprocating screw 700 is rotatably connected to the output shaft of the motor 510 by a second belt 530. The side plates 600 are slidably connected to the feed plate 200.
[0033] In this embodiment, the motor 510 drives the reciprocating screw 700 to rotate via the second belt 530, thereby causing the screw sleeve 710 outside the screw sleeve 710 to drive the side plate 600 to reciprocate. The two side plates 600 that reciprocate continuously move closer and further apart, which can be used to align the ends of the pipe.
[0034] Among them, the two sets of threaded grooves on the outside of the reciprocating lead screw 700 are opened in a opposite manner.
[0035] To better understand this utility model, the following is combined with... Figures 1 to 4 The technical solution of this utility model is described in detail as follows: In use, the cut and shaped tube falls onto the feeding plate 200 and rolls downwards towards the lower end of the feeding plate 200 due to gravity. At this time, the tube contacts a pair of levers 320 on the feeding plate 200. The two levers 320 are on the same horizontal line. As the tube rolls due to gravity, it is stopped by the levers 320, making the tube axis parallel to the short side of the feeding plate 200. At this time, the motor 510 drives the rotating shaft 410 to rotate via the first belt 520. The rotating shaft 410 drives the rotating belt 430 outside the rotating wheel 420 to rotate. The two sets of picking plates 440 can contact the two ends of the tube under the drive of the rotating belt 430, and thus drive the tube to move to one side. The tube squeezes the lever 320, causing the lever 320 to rotate into the strip-shaped through hole 210 and parallel to the feed plate 200. When the tube moves away, the lever 320 is reset under the action of the coil spring 310, and blocks the next rolling tube again, thereby achieving the purpose of making the tube axis parallel to the short side of the feed plate 200.
[0036] Furthermore, the motor 510 drives the reciprocating screw 700 to rotate via the second belt 530, which causes the screw sleeve 710 outside the screw sleeve 710 to drive the side plate 600 to reciprocate. The two side plates 600, which reciprocate and move back and forth, move closer and further apart, which can be used to align the pipe ends and make the pipe move downward stably, thereby ensuring the smooth flow of material.
[0037] In summary, this utility model solves the technical problem in existing feeding devices where the pipe end collides with the limiting baffle, causing jamming and hindering feeding, by using the material blocking component 300 to keep the pipe parallel and the material gripping component 400 to drive the pipe. This improves the stability of the operation and thus ensures the efficiency of the operation.
[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
