Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metal pipe processing technology, and more specifically to an automatic pipe stacking and unloading production line. Background Technology

[0002] The "pipe upsetting" process (also known as "pipe end upsetting" or "pipe end thickening") is a hot extrusion forming process used to increase the outer diameter, wall thickness, or form protrusions at the ends or middle sections of metal pipes (such as steel pipes, aluminum pipes, and copper pipes) by applying pressure to meet the needs of connection, sealing, or structural reinforcement.

[0003] The current steel pipe piercing machine primarily relies on manual handling, requiring manual operation and constant moving of parts, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient. When processing large quantities of products, the usual practice is to increase the number of personnel and conduct production in the workshop, with one person assigned to each machine for loading and unloading, resulting in very low efficiency. Most importantly, this piercing machine is a hydraulic, high-tonnage mechanism, similar to a punch press, which poses a high safety risk.

[0004] How to reduce manual operations in the pipe-building process is a technical problem that needs to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0005] The core of this utility model is to provide an automated pipe-building production line, which can automate the processes of sorting, picking up, and transferring pipe materials. The entire pipe-building process requires no manual intervention. The specific solution is as follows:

[0006] An automated pipe-building and unloading production line includes:

[0007] The pusher plate feeding mechanism is used to organize the pipe materials, so that the pipe materials are arranged and moved to the output position;

[0008] The gripping mechanism includes a support, a lifting device, and a clamping device. The lifting device is mounted on the support and is used to vertically move the clamping device. The clamping device is used to clamp pipe materials.

[0009] The loading and unloading mechanism is used to grab pipe materials from the gripping mechanism, place the pipe materials on the pipe-building machine, and remove the pipe materials from the pipe-building machine.

[0010] Optionally, the loading and unloading mechanism includes a robotic arm and a tooling fixture. The tooling fixture includes a transition block, a transition plate, and an inner support assembly. The transition block is used to assemble with the robotic arm, the transition plate is installed on the transition block, and the inner support assembly is installed on the transition plate.

[0011] Optionally, two adapter plates are provided, and rotating gears are respectively installed on the two adapter plates. The adapter plates are hinged to the adapter block.

[0012] One of the adapter plates is driven to rotate by a rotary driver, and drives the other adapter plate to rotate via the rotary gear.

[0013] Optionally, each of the adapter plates is provided with two inner support assemblies facing opposite directions, and the robotic arm is used to drive the tooling fixture to change direction so that different inner support assemblies can grip the pipe material.

[0014] Optionally, the pusher feeding mechanism includes a material frame, a pusher plate, and a pusher plate conveyor line. The pusher plate is inclinedly arranged in the material frame and can move up and down at an angle to lift the pipe material from the material frame and arrange the pipe material to be lifted to the pusher plate conveyor line. The pusher plate conveyor line is used to transport the pipe material to the output position.

[0015] Optionally, a rejection mechanism is provided above the pusher conveyor line. The distance between the rejection mechanism and the pusher conveyor line is greater than the diameter of the pipe material and less than the length of the pipe material, and is used to reject pipe materials in an upright state.

[0016] A return guide plate is installed below the pusher conveyor line to guide the rejected pipe material back to the material frame.

[0017] Optionally, it also includes a gantry mechanism, which includes a gantry frame, a lifting mechanism, a rotating mechanism, a first clamp, and a second clamp. The lifting mechanism is mounted on the gantry frame and is used to drive the first clamp to move vertically and grab pipe material from the pipe-building machine. The rotating mechanism is mounted on the gantry frame and is used to drive the second clamp to rotate.

[0018] The first clamp and the second clamp can work together to transfer pipe materials.

[0019] Optionally, the gantry frame is equipped with two sets of the lifting mechanism and two sets of the rotating mechanism.

[0020] Optionally, the gantry includes a fixed frame and a movable beam, the movable beam being capable of translational movement relative to the fixed frame.

[0021] Optionally, it also includes a finished product collection frame for collecting the finished pipe material after the pipe is uprooted and removed from the pipe uprooting machine by the loading and unloading mechanism.

[0022] This utility model provides an automated pipe stacking and unloading production line. A pusher plate loading mechanism organizes the pipe materials, arranging them and moving them to the output position. A lifting device in the gripping mechanism drives a clamping device to rise and fall; the clamping device descends to grip the pipe materials from the output position, moving them upwards. The loading and unloading mechanism grips the pipe materials from the rising clamping device and places them onto the pipe stacking machine. After the pipe stacking operation is completed in the machine, the loading and unloading mechanism removes the pipe materials from the machine. This production line can automate the processes of organizing, gripping, and transferring pipe materials, placing them onto the pipe stacking machine to complete the stacking operation, thus achieving automated pipe stacking and reducing manual intervention.

[0038] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the automatic pipe-building and unloading production line of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0039] The automatic pipe-building and unloading production line provided by this utility model is applied to the pipe processing process. It can automatically realize the pipe-building process, that is, extrusion molding at the end of the pipe. It can be used for pipe-building at one end or at both ends of the pipe.

[0040] Combination Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides an automatic pipe-building and unloading production line, including a push plate loading mechanism 10, a gripping mechanism 20, an unloading mechanism 30, and other modular structures.

[0041] Combination Figure 2 As shown, the pusher plate feeding mechanism 10 is used to organize the pipe material 01, so that the disorderly stacked pipe material 01 in the pusher plate feeding mechanism 10 is output in a row. The pipe material 01 is arranged and moved to the output position, where it can be taken out. The output position is a station of the pusher plate conveyor line 103 involved later.

[0042] Combination Figure 3As shown, the gripping mechanism 20 includes a support 201, a lifting device 202, and a clamping device 203. The support 201 is a fixed structure. The lifting device 202 is mounted on the support 201, and its fixed part is mounted on the support 201. The clamping device 203 is mounted on the movable part of the lifting device 202, and the movable part of the lifting device 202 can vertically move the clamping device 203. The clamping device 203 is used to clamp the pipe material 01. The clamping device 203 has jaws 2031 and an opening and closing actuator 2032. The fixed part of the opening and closing actuator 2032 is mounted on the movable part of the lifting device 202, and the two jaws 2031 are mounted on the movable part of the opening and closing actuator 2032. Under the drive of the opening and closing actuator 2032, the two jaws 2031 can move closer or further away from each other. When the two jaws 2031 are close together, they can clamp the pipe material 01; when the two jaws 2031 are far apart, they can release the pipe material 01.

[0043] The lifting device 202 drives the gripping device 203 to move downwards, closer to the output position, where the two grippers 2031 of the gripping device 203 hold a tube material 01; the lifting device 202 then drives the gripping device 203 to move upwards, away from the output position, whereby the loading and unloading mechanism 30 receives the tube material 01. This process is repeated continuously to transfer the tube material 01 one by one.

[0044] The loading and unloading mechanism 30 is used to grab the pipe material 01 from the gripping mechanism 20, place the pipe material 01 on the pipe-building machine 50, perform pipe-building operations on the pipe material 01 in the pipe-building machine 50, and take out the finished pipe material 01 after the pipe-building operation is completed from the pipe-building machine 50.

[0045] This utility model's automatic pipe-building and unloading production line utilizes a series of coordinated structures. The pusher plate feeding mechanism 10 arranges and organizes the pipe materials 01, the gripping mechanism 20 grips each pipe material individually, and the unloading mechanism 30 transfers and places the pipe materials. The entire process automatically places the pipe materials onto the pipe-building machine to complete the pipe-building operation. The pusher plate feeding mechanism 10, gripping mechanism 20, and unloading mechanism 30 work in conjunction with the pipe-building machine 50 to achieve automated pipe building, extruding and forming the pipe materials at the ends, thus reducing manual intervention.

[0046] Based on the above scheme, combined with Figure 4A As shown, the loading and unloading mechanism 30 of this utility model includes a robotic arm 301 and a tooling fixture 302. The robotic arm 301 is a programmable, multi-joint automated device that mimics the movement of a human arm to perform handling actions.

[0047] The tooling fixture 302 is installed at the end of the robotic arm 301. The tooling fixture 302 includes a transition block 3021, a transition plate 3022, and an inner support assembly 3023. The transition block 3021 is detachably mounted to the robotic arm 301 and is displaced by the robotic arm 301. The transition plate 3022 is installed on the transition block 3021, and the robotic arm 301 can drive the transition block 3021 and the transition plate 3022 to move synchronously. The inner support assembly 3023 is installed on the transition plate 3022. Specifically, as shown... Figure 4B As shown, the inner support assembly 3023 includes an inner support claw 30231 and an inner support driver 30232. The fixed part of the inner support driver 30232 is mounted on the adapter plate 3022. Two inner support claws 30231 are mounted on the two movable parts of the inner support driver 30232. The two movable parts of the inner support driver 30232 drive the two inner support claws 30231 to move closer to or further away from each other.

[0048] Two inner support claws 30231 can extend into one end of the pipe material 01. When the two inner support claws 30231 are spread apart, they contact the inner wall of the pipe material 01 and clamp the pipe material 01 by means of internal support. When the two inner support claws 30231 are close together, they disengage from the pipe material 01 and can release the pipe material 01.

[0049] Combination Figure 4B , Figure 4C As shown, two adapter plates 3022 are provided. The adapter plates 3022 are hinged to the adapter block 3021. Rotating gears 3024 are fixedly installed on the two adapter plates 3022 respectively. The hinge axis of the adapter plate 3022 coincides with the axis of the rotating gear 3024. The adapter plate 3022 and the rotating gear 3024 rotate synchronously relative to the adapter block 3021.

[0050] Two rotating gears 3024 are mounted on the two adapter plates 3022 and mesh with each other for transmission. One adapter plate 3022 is driven to rotate by a rotary driver 3025. The meshing of the two rotating gears 3024 drives the other rotating gear 3024 to rotate, thereby causing the other adapter plate 3022 to rotate. Only one drive structure is needed to achieve synchronous rotation of the two adapter plates 3022.

[0051] Combination Figure 4B As shown, the two adapter plates 3022 are in a closed position, which facilitates the receipt of pipe material 01 from the gripping mechanism 20. Combined with... Figure 4C As shown, the two adapter plates 3022 are in the unfolded state, which facilitates the simultaneous loading and unloading of pipe materials 01 from the two pipe-building molds 501 of the pipe-building machine 50.

[0052] Two adapter plates 3022 are meshed with each other by two rotating gears 3024, so that the two adapter plates 3022 rotate synchronously and are axially symmetrical. Each adapter plate 3022 is provided with a gripping device 203, so that pipe material 01 can be picked up and placed at two different positions at the same time. Pipe material 01 can be picked up or placed at two positions at the same time, or pipe material 01 can be placed at one position and picked up from another position.

[0053] Each adapter plate 3022 is provided with two internal support components 3023 facing opposite directions, combined with Figure 4B , Figure 4C As shown, each adapter plate 3022 has an inner support assembly 3023 installed on its upper and lower parts. The inner support assembly 3023 is fixed to the upper or lower surface of the adapter plate 3022 via an adapter block 3026. The two adapter blocks 3026 are independently installed and can have different heights. The adapter block 3026 creates a certain distance between the two gripping devices 203. Having two inner support assemblies 3023 on one adapter plate 3022 can improve the operating cycle time and increase work efficiency.

[0054] The robotic arm 301 is used to drive the entire tooling fixture 302 to change direction, such as upside down, so that the originally downward-facing inner support component 3023 is changed to face upward, and the originally upward-facing inner support component 3023 is changed to face downward, so as to meet the orientation requirements of different inner support components 3023 when working, and enable different inner support components 3023 to clamp the pipe material 01.

[0055] Combination Figure 2 As shown, the pusher plate feeding mechanism 10 includes a material frame 101, a pusher plate 102, and a pusher plate conveyor line 103. The material frame 101 is used to store pipe materials 01, and a large number of pipe materials 01 can be placed in the material frame 101 at one time.

[0056] The push plate 102 is inclined and installed inside the material frame 101, and the push plate 102 can move up and down reciprocally at an angle. Figure 2 The structure shown includes two push plates 102, each with a forward-facing inclined side and a top inclined surface. The lower push plate 102 rests against the inclined side of the upper push plate 102. Through reciprocating inclined vertical linear motion, the lower push plate 102 pushes the pipe material 01 stacked in the material frame 101 onto its top inclined surface. The pipe material 01 rests against the inclined side of the upper push plate 102, selecting pipe material 01 parallel to the inclined side of the push plate 102 from the material frame 101, completing the first stage of material selection. The upper push plate 102, through reciprocating inclined vertical linear motion, receives the aforementioned pipe material 01 from the first stage of material selection, completing the second stage of material selection. The material is then conveyed upwards to the push plate conveyor line 103.

[0057] Through the tilting and vertical movement of two push plates 102, the push plates 102 select pipe materials 01 that meet the orientation requirements from the material frame 101 and lift them downwards, arranging and lifting the pipe materials 01 onto the push plate conveyor line 103. The push plate conveyor line 103 can use a belt or other transmission method to transport the pipe materials 01 to the output position, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the output position is located on the right side of the push plate conveyor line 103. A gripping mechanism 20 is set next to the output position. The gripping mechanism 20 takes out the pipe material 01, and the push plate conveyor line 103 continuously supplies the pipe material 01.

[0058] Combination Figure 2 As shown, a rejection mechanism 104 is provided above the pusher conveyor line 103. The rejection mechanism 104 has a protrusion structure. The distance between the rejection mechanism 104 and the pusher conveyor line 103 is greater than the diameter of a pipe material 01 and less than the length of a pipe material 01. It is used to reject pipe materials 01 in an upright state. The pusher plate 102 selects pipe materials 01 that are parallel to its inclined side. Pipe materials 01 in an upright state will also be lifted upwards. However, the pipe materials 01 that reach the output position are all in a horizontally flat state. The rejection mechanism 104 rejects pipe materials 01 in an upright state.

[0059] The rejection mechanism 104 is a wedge-shaped block structure, fixed to the material frame 101. Along the conveying direction of the push plate conveyor line 103, the protrusion size of the rejection mechanism 104 gradually increases. The upright pipe material 01 will come into contact with the rejection mechanism 104 and be pushed out of the push plate conveyor line 103 by the rejection mechanism 104.

[0060] A return guide plate 105 is installed below the pusher conveyor line 103. The return guide plate 105 is located below the rejection mechanism 104. After the rejection mechanism 104 rejects the upright pipe material 01, the pipe material 01 falls onto the return guide plate 105. The return guide plate 105 has an inclined surface, which can be configured with multiple levels of different inclination angles. The return guide plate 105 guides the rejected pipe material 01 back into the material frame 101, where it mixes with other pipe materials 01 and is then re-selected by the pusher plate 102. Side baffles can be installed on both sides of the return guide plate 105 to prevent the pipe material 01 from moving to the sides after falling from the pusher conveyor line 103, thus preventing the pipe material 01 from detaching from the material frame 101 or falling onto the pusher plate 102.

[0061] Based on the above schemes and their combinations, the automatic pipe-building and unloading production line of this utility model also includes a gantry mechanism 40, combined with... Figure 5As shown, the gantry mechanism 40 includes a gantry frame 401, a lifting mechanism 402, a rotating mechanism 403, a first clamp 404, and a second clamp 405. The gantry frame 401 serves as a load-bearing and supporting element. The fixed part of the lifting mechanism 402 is mounted on the gantry frame 401, and the lifting mechanism 402 can be a cylinder. The first clamp 404 is mounted on the movable part of the lifting mechanism 402, and the lifting mechanism 402 can drive the first clamp 404 to move vertically to grab the pipe material 01 from the pipe-building machine 50. The rotating mechanism 403 is mounted on the gantry frame 401 and is used to drive the second clamp 405 to rotate.

[0062] The lifting mechanism 402 is located directly above the pipe-building mold 501. When it drives the first clamp 404 to descend, it can clamp the pipe material 01 in the pipe-building mold 501 and move the pipe material 01 upward. The first clamp 404 and the second clamp 405 can cooperate to transfer the pipe material 01. The second clamp 405 can cooperate to receive the pipe material 01 from the first clamp 404. After the second clamp 405 clamps the pipe material 01, the first clamp 404 is released. The rotating mechanism 403 drives the second clamp 405 to rotate around the horizontal axis, so that the pipe material 01 rotates 180°, and the pipe material 01 is inverted.

[0063] The pipe-forming mold 501 extrudes and forms the lower end of the pipe material 01. By cooperating with the lifting mechanism 402 and the rotating mechanism 403, the pipe material 01 can be rotated up and down, and the two ends of the pipe material 01 can be processed separately.

[0064] The first clamp 404 can adopt an internal clamping structure, and the second clamp 405 can adopt an external clamping structure.

[0065] Combination Figure 5 As shown, the gantry frame 401 is equipped with two sets of lifting mechanisms 402 and two sets of rotating mechanisms 403, which can simultaneously correspond to the two pipe-building molds 501 on the pipe-building machine 50, and independently process the two pipe materials 01 respectively.

[0066] Combination Figure 5 As shown, the gantry 401 includes a fixed frame 4011 and a movable beam 4012. The fixed frame 4011 is located at both ends of the movable beam 4012 and supports the movable beam 4012. The upper end of the fixed frame 4011 is configured as a slide rail structure, and sliders are respectively provided at both ends of the movable beam 4012. The movable beam 4012 and the fixed frame 4011 form a sliding engagement, and the movable beam 4012 can translate relative to the fixed frame 4011.

[0067] The moving beam 4012 is equipped with a lifting mechanism 402 and a rotating mechanism 403. When the moving beam 4012 moves horizontally, it can avoid the pipe-building mold 501 of the pipe-building machine 50. For example, when the automatic pipe-building loading and unloading production line is not used, and the manual pipe-building operation is switched, the moving beam 4012 is moved horizontally to make way for the space above the pipe-building mold 501, thus reserving space for manual operation.

[0068] With the translation design of the moving beam 4012, the pipe support operation can adopt an automatic feeding mode or a manual feeding mode.

[0069] Combination Figure 1 As shown, the automatic pipe stacking and unloading production line provided by this utility model also includes a finished product collection frame 60. The finished product collection frame 60 is used to collect the finished pipe material 01 after the pipe stacking machine 50 is taken out by the unloading mechanism 30, so that the finished pipe material 01 is arranged and placed in the finished product collection frame 60. The number of finished product collection frames 60 can be set according to needs, usually two are set. When one finished product collection frame 60 is full, it is removed, and the other finished product collection frame 60 continues to receive material and place new empty finished product collection frames 60, without stopping the machine.

[0070] When using it, you can follow the procedure below:

[0071] 1. The manual / AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) places the empty finished product collection box 60 in the designated position of the equipment and fills the material box 101 of the push plate feeding mechanism 10 with pipe material 01.

[0072] 2. The push plate feeding mechanism 10 operates automatically, conveying the pipe material 01 to the push plate conveyor line 103 and then moving it horizontally to the output position; the gripping mechanism 20 grips the pipe material 01 one by one from the output position.

[0073] 3. The robotic arm 301 of the loading and unloading mechanism 30 drives the tooling fixture 302 to pick up parts from the gripping mechanism 20. The two transition plates 3022 come together, and the two inner support components 3023 clamp two pipe materials 01 from the gripping mechanism 20. As the robotic arm 301 moves toward the pipe-building machine 50, the two transition plates 3022 open, and the two pipe materials 01 are inserted into the two pipe-building molds 501 of the pipe-building machine 50 respectively.

[0074] 4. After the pipe-stacking machine 50 stabilizes one end of the pipe fitting, the lifting mechanism 402 of the gantry mechanism 40 drives the first clamp 404 down to remove the pipe material 01; it is then transferred to the second clamp 405, and the rotating mechanism 403 rotates the pipe material 01 180 degrees, and then it is transferred back to the first clamp 404. The first clamp 404 descends and inserts the pipe material 01 into the pipe-stacking mold 501 of the pipe-stacking machine 50 to stabilize the other end of the pipe.

[0075] 5. After the pipes are secured at both ends, the loading and unloading mechanism 30 comes over to grab the pipe material 01 and places it in the finished product collection box 60 for stacking.

[0076] 6. The gripping mechanism 20, the loading and unloading mechanism 30, the gantry mechanism 40, the pipe-building machine 50, etc. continue to work repeatedly.

[0077] This utility model's automatic pipe stacking and unloading production line reduces manual labor intensity by adopting a safer conveying method, thus reducing the risk of accidents to the human body. On the other hand, it increases production capacity and efficiency, thereby improving the enterprise's safety production assurance rate.

[0078] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention.
