[0030] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0031] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of the present invention. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.
[0032] Please see Figures 1-7 This utility model provides a rectangular steel pipe stacking device, including: a transport mechanism 1, a gripping mechanism 2 adapted to the transport mechanism 1, a lifting mechanism 3 connected to the gripping mechanism 2, and a transfer mechanism 4 connected to the lifting mechanism 3.
[0033] In some embodiments, the transport mechanism 1 is a part of the rectangular steel pipe stacking device used for transporting steel pipes, which includes: a conveyor belt 11 and a detection sensor 12 disposed on the conveyor belt 11. The conveyor belt 11 is used to receive unstacked rectangular steel pipes and transport them to the gripping mechanism 2 for gripping. The detection sensor 12 is used to detect the position of the rectangular steel pipes on the conveyor belt 11 so that the gripping mechanism 2 can grip them. For example, the detection sensor 12 can be a photoelectric sensor (through-beam or reflective) that detects the presence of an object by emitting and receiving light beams. When the rectangular steel pipe passes by, it blocks the light and triggers a signal.
[0034] In some embodiments, the gripping mechanism 2 is a part for gripping rectangular steel pipes. The gripping mechanism 2 includes: a crossbeam 21, support plates 22 disposed at both ends of the crossbeam 21, a telescopic cylinder 23 disposed on the support plate 22, an output block 24 connected to the telescopic cylinder 23, a swing arm 25 connected to the output block 24, a clamping block 26 connected to the swing arm 25, a first slider 27 disposed on the clamping block 26, and a first guide rail 28 disposed on the support plate 22 and movably connected to the first slider 27. In some embodiments, the crossbeam 21 is horizontally arranged. By disposing of the support plates 22 at both ends of the crossbeam 21, the gripping mechanism 2 can grip both ends of the rectangular steel pipe, thereby improving the stability of the rectangular steel pipe during the transfer process.
[0035] Furthermore, the output block 24 is connected to the output end of the telescopic cylinder 23, and the output block 24 is hinged to one end of the swing arm 25, thereby using the telescopic transmission of the telescopic cylinder 23 to swing the swing arm 25. In some embodiments, the end of the swing arm 25 away from the output block 24 is hinged to the clamping block 26, and the clamping block 26 is fixedly connected to the first slider 27, thereby using the swing of the swing arm 25 to drive the clamping block 26 to move along the direction set by the first guide rail 28, and then using the two sets of clamping blocks 26 to clamp the rectangular steel pipe closer to each other.
[0036] In some more preferred embodiments, the clamping block 26 is equipped with an electromagnet, which is energized when clamping the rectangular steel pipe, and the rectangular steel pipe is clamped by the attraction between the clamping block 26 and the rectangular steel pipe. The electromagnet is de-energized when the rectangular steel pipe is released, thereby improving the stability of the rectangular steel pipe during the transfer process.
[0037] In some embodiments, the lifting mechanism 3 is a part of the lifting gripping mechanism 2, which includes: a lifting frame 31, a column 32 adapted to the lifting frame 31, a second guide rail 33 and a lifting rack 34 disposed on the column 32, a first motor 35 disposed on the lifting frame 31, a lifting gear 36 connected to the first motor 35, and a second slider 37 disposed on the lifting frame 31 and adapted to the second guide rail 33, wherein the lifting gear 36 meshes with the lifting rack 34.
[0038] In some embodiments, the lifting frame 31 can be fixed on the transfer mechanism 4, and the column 32 is adapted to the lifting frame 31, so that the lifting process of the gripping mechanism 2 is realized by the column 32 lifting and lowering in the lifting frame 31.
[0039] Furthermore, by fixing the second slider 37 to the lifting frame 31, the smoothness of the column 32 when it rises and falls in the lifting frame 31 is enhanced. The lifting rack 34 and the lifting gear 36 cooperate with each other, and the first motor 35 drives the lifting gear 36 to rotate, thereby driving the column 32 to rise and fall in the lifting frame 31 through the lifting rack 34, realizing the lifting process of the gripping mechanism 2.
[0040] In some more preferred embodiments, the rectangular steel pipe stacking device further includes a rotating mechanism 5, which is connected to the lifting mechanism 3 and the gripping mechanism 2. The rotating mechanism 5 is used to rotate the gripping mechanism 2, thereby aligning the gripping mechanism 2 with the rectangular steel pipe. The rotating mechanism 5 includes: a rotating shaft 51 located at the bottom of the column 32 and rotatably connected to the column 32; a second motor 52; and a gear transmission structure 53 connecting the second motor 52 to the rotating shaft 51. The rotating shaft 51 is also connected to the crossbeam 21. The gear transmission structure 53 can be two sets of meshing gears, one set of which is connected to the output shaft of the second motor 52, and the other set of gears is mounted on the rotating shaft 51. Thus, the second motor 52 operates, and the rotating shaft 51 is rotated via the gear transmission structure 53, which in turn rotates the crossbeam 21 connected to the rotating shaft 51, aligning the gripping mechanism 2 with the rectangular steel pipe.
[0041] In some embodiments, the transfer mechanism 4 is a part used to transfer rectangular steel pipes to the stacking tray. By sequentially performing a gripping process, a lifting process, a transfer process, a lowering process, and a releasing process on the rectangular steel pipes, an automated stacking process of the rectangular steel pipes from the conveyor belt 11 to the stacking tray is realized. The transfer mechanism 4 includes: a support frame 41, a third guide rail 42, a transfer rack 43 and a support beam 44 provided on the support frame 41, a third motor 45 and a third slider 46 provided on the support beam 44, and a transfer gear 47 connected to the third motor 45. The support beam 44 is also connected to the lifting frame 31, thereby connecting the transfer mechanism 4 to the lifting mechanism 3.
[0042] In some embodiments, the support frame 41 consists of two sets of mutually cooperating support structures for supporting the support beam 44 to move along the direction set by the support frame 41. In some embodiments, the third guide rail 42 and the transfer rack 43 are provided on the support frame 41 and are arranged along the length direction of the support frame 41. The third slider 46 is adapted to the third guide rail 42 to enhance the smoothness of the support beam 44 when it is moved by the support frame 41.
[0043] Furthermore, the transfer gear 47 is connected to the output end of the third motor 45 and meshes with the transfer rack 43, thereby using the third motor 45 to drive the transfer gear 47 to rotate, and using the reverse force between the transfer gear 47 and the transfer rack 43 to drive the support beam 44 to move along the direction set by the transfer rack 43.
[0044] Finally, it should be noted that the embodiments disclosed in this utility model are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the various embodiments of this utility model.
