Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of pipe feeding racks, and in particular to a fully automatic pipe feeding rack. Background Technology

[0002] In the pipe processing flow, the feeding stage is the starting point of the entire production process. It provides a stable and continuous supply of pipes for subsequent processing steps such as cutting, bending, and welding, and plays a crucial role in ensuring the continuity of processing and production efficiency.

[0003] Currently, among existing pipe feeding equipment, such as the patent with authorization announcement number CN211812128U, the invention proposes a pipe feeding rack, including a frame, a crossbeam on the frame, and several feeding systems equidistantly placed inside the frame along the placement direction of the crossbeam. The feeding system holds steel pipes parallel to the placement position of the crossbeam, and the top view projection of the feeding system relative to the transmission direction of the steel pipe is perpendicular to the top view projection of the crossbeam.

[0004] However, during use, it was found that the equipment had poor accuracy in controlling the number of pipes fed, making it difficult to push out excess material and ensure that only one piece of material was on the working position, thus reducing the ease of use. Utility Model Content

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a fully automatic tube feeding rack that can accurately control the quantity of metal tubes being fed, achieve uninterrupted continuous operation, greatly shorten the processing cycle, and improve work efficiency. Depending on the actual situation, it can be two or more sets to meet the processing needs of metal tubes of various lengths and sizes.

[0006] This utility model discloses a fully automatic pipe feeding rack, comprising a U-shaped frame and a guide seat, the guide seat being mounted on the outer wall of the U-shaped frame; it also includes a take-up reel, a lifting belt, a guide roller, a pushing device, and a limiting device. The top of the guide seat is sloped. The take-up reel is rotatably mounted on the outer wall of the guide seat via a drive motor. One end of the lifting belt is connected to the U-shaped frame, and the other end of the lifting belt is connected to the take-up reel via a guide roller, which is rotatably mounted on the outer wall of the guide seat. The pushing device and the limiting device are respectively mounted on the guide seat. The pushing device is used to push out excess pipe, and the limiting device is used to temporarily store and limit the pipe. Multiple bundles of pipe are placed on the lifting belt, and the drive motor drives the take-up reel to rotate and wind the lifting belt, causing the lifting belt to support the pipe and lift it upwards. When the pipe moves... After moving to the top of the guide seat, some pipes fall onto the guide seat. At this time, the pushing device supports and limits the pipes on the guide seat, and pushes the excess pipes on the guide seat back onto the lifting belt, thus ensuring that only one pipe is on the guide seat. Then, the pushing device moves to make way, allowing the pipes on the guide seat to be conveyed to the side of the limiting device via the ramp. The limiting device temporarily stores the pipes. When the external processing equipment finishes processing the previous pipe, the limiting device releases the pipes from the guide seat and allows them to enter the external processing equipment. This solves the problem of precise control of the number of metal pipes fed, realizes uninterrupted continuous operation, greatly shortens the processing cycle, and improves work efficiency. This equipment can be in two or more sets depending on the actual situation to meet the processing of various lengths and dimensions of metal pipes.

[0007] Preferably, the pushing device includes a baffle frame, a pushing block, a first cylinder, a sliding seat, a second cylinder, and a third cylinder. The pushing block is slidably mounted on the baffle frame via guide rails. The first cylinder is mounted on the outer wall of the baffle frame, and its moving end is connected to the pushing block. The sliding seat is slidably mounted on the guide seat via guide rails. The baffle frame is slidably mounted on the sliding seat via guide rails. The second cylinder is mounted on the outer wall of the sliding seat, and its moving end is connected to the baffle frame. The third cylinder is mounted on the outer wall of the guide seat, and its moving end is connected to the sliding seat. When the pipe falls onto the guide seat, the baffle frame... The pipe support on the guide seat is limited. Then, the third cylinder drives the sliding seat to move, which in turn moves the baffle to push the excess pipe on the guide seat toward the U-shaped frame. After that, the first cylinder drives the pusher block to move, which pushes the excess pipe on the guide seat back onto the lifting belt. When only one pipe remains on the guide seat, the second cylinder drives the baffle to move downward to make way, allowing the pipe on the guide seat to continue to be conveyed through the ramp. This improves the convenience of controlling the number of pipes conveyed. The movement stroke of the third cylinder is controlled according to the diameter of different pipes, which makes it easier to remove excess pipes and improves the accuracy of quantity control.

[0008] Preferably, the limiting device includes a limiting block and a fourth cylinder. The limiting block is rotatably mounted on the outer wall of the guide seat at its center, and the fourth cylinder is rotatably mounted on the outer wall of the guide seat. The moving end of the fourth cylinder is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the limiting block. When the pipe continues to be conveyed through the ramp of the guide seat, the pipe is temporarily stored by the support of the limiting block. When it is necessary to continue to move and convey the pipe, the moving end of the fourth cylinder retracts its length, causing the fourth cylinder to drive the limiting block to swing and rotate to stop supporting the pipe, thereby facilitating the continued movement and conveying of the pipe through the ramp of the guide seat.

[0009] Preferably, it also includes a crash bar, which is installed on the outer wall of the guide seat; when the lifting belt lifts the pipe, the crash bar guides and supports the pipe, thereby reducing wear between the pipe and the guide seat.

[0010] Preferably, it also includes anti-slip blocks, which are installed on the lifting belt; this improves the anti-slip effect of the lifting belt on the lifting and conveying of pipes and enhances stability.

[0011] Preferably, buffer blocks are provided on the outer walls of the baffle, pusher block and limit block respectively; this reduces the impact of the pipe on the feeder and improves the protection effect.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: it solves the problem of precise control of the quantity of metal pipe feeding, realizes uninterrupted continuous operation, greatly shortens the processing cycle, and improves work efficiency. This equipment can be in two or more groups according to the actual situation to meet the processing of metal pipes of various lengths and dimensions. Attached Figure Description

[0016] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this utility model discloses a fully automatic pipe feeding rack, including a U-shaped frame 1 and a guide seat 2. The guide seat 2 is installed on the outer wall of the U-shaped frame 1. It also includes a take-up wheel 3, a lifting belt 4, a guide roller 5, a pushing device 6, and a limiting device 7. The top of the guide seat 2 is set in a slope shape. The take-up wheel 3 is rotatably installed on the outer wall of the guide seat 2 by a drive motor. One end of the lifting belt 4 is connected to the U-shaped frame 1, and the other end of the lifting belt 4 is connected to the take-up wheel 3 by the guide roller 5. The guide roller 5 is rotatably installed on the outer wall of the guide seat 2. The pushing device 6 and the limiting device 7 are respectively installed on the guide seat 2. The pushing device 6 is used to push out excess pipe, and the limiting device 7 is used to limit and temporarily store the pipe. like Figure 3 As shown, the pushing device 6 includes a baffle frame 8, a pushing block 9, a first cylinder 10, a sliding seat 11, a second cylinder 12, and a third cylinder 13. The pushing block 9 is slidably mounted on the baffle frame 8 via a guide rail. The first cylinder 10 is mounted on the outer wall of the baffle frame 8, and the moving end of the first cylinder 10 is connected to the pushing block 9. The sliding seat 11 is slidably mounted on the guide seat 2 via a guide rail. The baffle frame 8 is slidably mounted on the sliding seat 11 via a guide rail. The second cylinder 12 is mounted on the outer wall of the sliding seat 11, and the moving end of the second cylinder 12 is connected to the baffle frame 8. The third cylinder 13 is mounted on the outer wall of the guide seat 2, and the moving end of the third cylinder 13 is connected to the sliding seat 11. In this embodiment, multiple tubes in a package are placed on the lifting belt 4. The drive motor rotates the winding wheel 3 to wind up the lifting belt 4, which supports the tubes and lifts them upwards. When the tubes move to the top of the guide seat 2, some tubes fall onto the guide seat 2. At this time, the pushing device 6 supports and limits the tubes on the guide seat 2, and pushes the excess tubes on the guide seat 2 back onto the lifting belt 4, thus ensuring that only one tube is on the guide seat 2. Then, the pushing device 6 moves to make way, allowing the tubes on the guide seat 2 to be conveyed to the side of the limiting device 7 via a ramp. The limiting device 7 temporarily stores the tubes. When the external processing equipment finishes processing the previous tube, the limiting device 7 releases the tubes from the guide seat 2 and allows them to enter the external processing equipment. This solves the problem of precise control of the number of metal tubes being fed, realizes uninterrupted continuous operation, greatly shortens the processing cycle, and improves work efficiency. This equipment can be in two or more sets depending on the actual situation to meet the processing of various lengths and dimensions of metal tubes. Example 2

[0017] Based on Example 1, such as Figure 4 As shown, the present invention provides a fully automatic pipe feeding rack. The limiting device 7 includes a limiting block 14 and a fourth cylinder 15. The limiting block 14 is rotatably mounted on the outer wall of the guide seat 2 in the middle. The fourth cylinder 15 is rotatably mounted on the outer wall of the guide seat 2. The moving end of the fourth cylinder 15 is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the limiting block 14. like Figure 1 As shown, it also includes a crash bar 16, which is disposed on the outer wall of the guide seat 2; like Figure 1 As shown, it also includes an anti-slip block 17, which is disposed on the lifting belt 4; like Figure 2 As shown, buffer blocks are respectively provided on the outer walls of the baffle 8, the pusher block 9 and the limiting block 14; In this embodiment, after the pipe falls onto the guide seat 2, the baffle 8 supports and limits the pipe on the guide seat 2. Then, the third cylinder 13 drives the sliding seat 11 to move, causing the sliding seat 11 to move the baffle 8 to push the excess pipe on the guide seat 2 toward the U-shaped frame 1. After that, the first cylinder 10 drives the pusher block 9 to move, causing the pusher block 9 to push the excess pipe on the guide seat 2 back onto the lifting belt 4. When only one pipe remains on the guide seat 2, the second cylinder 12 drives the baffle 8 to move downward to make room, allowing the pipe on the guide seat 2 to pass through the inclined... The slope continues to transport the pipes, thereby improving the convenience of controlling the quantity of pipe transport. According to the diameter of different pipes, the movement stroke of the third cylinder 13 is controlled, which makes it easier to remove excess pipes and improve the accuracy of quantity control. After the pipes continue to be transported through the slope of the guide seat 2, they are temporarily stored by the support of the limit block 14. When it is necessary to continue to move and transport the pipes, the length of the moving end of the fourth cylinder 15 is retracted, so that the fourth cylinder 15 drives the limit block 14 to swing and rotate to stop supporting the pipes, thus making it easier for the pipes to continue to move and transport through the slope of the guide seat 2.

[0018] This utility model discloses a fully automatic pipe feeding rack. During operation, multiple bundles of pipes are placed on a lifting belt 4. A drive motor rotates a winding wheel 3 to wind up the lifting belt 4, allowing it to support and transport the pipes upwards. When the pipes reach the top of the guide seat 2, some pipes fall onto the guide seat 2. At this point, a pushing device 6 supports and limits the pipes on the guide seat 2, and pushes any excess pipes back onto the lifting belt 4, ensuring that only one pipe remains on the guide seat 2. The pushing device 6 then moves to allow the pipes on the guide seat 2 to be transported via a ramp to the side of a limiting device 7, where they are temporarily stored. Once the external processing equipment has finished processing the previous pipe, the limiting device 7 releases the pipes from the guide seat 2, allowing them to enter the external processing equipment.
