Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of conveying equipment technology, and more specifically, to a steel pipe conveying equipment. Background Technology
[0002] In the steel pipe production process, stepped conveyor systems are typically used for feeding to ensure efficiency, while the discharge end docking equipment is usually an assembly line or processing table. However, in existing technologies, because the discharge end docking equipment has inconsistent heights, stepped conveyor systems cannot adapt to feeding at different heights, resulting in poor versatility. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address at least one of the aforementioned problems, this utility model first provides a steel pipe conveying device, comprising a body, on which a motor, a screw, a lifting rod, a guide plate, and a liftable step assembly are provided. The motor is connected to and drives the screw to rotate. The lifting rod is threadedly connected to the screw and moves up and down along the screw. The body has a discharge port. The step assembly is used to receive steel pipes and lift them stepwise to the discharge port. The guide plate is rotatably connected to the upper end of the step assembly and is used to guide the discharge direction of the steel pipes. The lifting rod is located at the discharge port and is adapted to abut against the bottom of the guide plate.
[0004] The machine body is also equipped with an electric push rod, which is connected to and drives the step assembly to rise and fall.
[0005] The stepped assembly includes a first step, a second step, and a third step that are inclined from bottom to top. The upper ends of the first step, the second step, and the third step are all inclined toward the discharge port, and the inclination direction and inclination angle are the same.
[0006] The first step is connected to a first front side plate at its front side. The second step is connected to a second front side plate and a first rear side plate at its front and rear sides, respectively. The third step is connected to a third front side plate and a second rear side plate at its front and rear sides, respectively. The first front side plate and the first rear side plate are slidably connected. The second front side plate and the second rear side plate are slidably connected. The front side of the third front side plate is slidably connected to a third rear side plate. The third rear side plate is rotatably connected to the rear end of the guide plate.
[0007] The first front side plate, the second front side plate, and the third front side plate are all provided with sliding grooves, and the first rear side plate, the second rear side plate, and the third rear side plate are all connected with sliding pins. The sliding pins are limited in the sliding grooves and are slidably connected to the sliding grooves.
[0008] The machine body is also equipped with a baffle and an inclined storage bin. The storage bin is used to store steel pipes to be transported. The outlet of the storage bin is aligned with the upper end of the first step in the vertical direction. The baffle is arranged on the left and right sides of the step assembly.
[0009] The storage bin is equipped with a push plate that moves left and right. The push plate is used to push the steel pipes to align, so as to accommodate steel pipes of different lengths.
[0010] The front end of the machine body is provided with a mounting shell for accommodating the motor. The lifting rod extends out of the upper end of the mounting shell and is slidably connected to the mounting shell. The discharge port is located above the mounting shell.
[0011] Compared to existing technologies, the steel pipe conveying equipment in this utility model uses a motor to drive the screw to rotate, which in turn drives the lifting rod to move up and down precisely. This adjusts the angle of the guide plate and the height of the discharge port, allowing the equipment to flexibly adapt to docking equipment of different heights. This effectively solves the problem of poor versatility of traditional stepped conveying equipment due to the fixed height of the discharge end, and significantly improves the applicability and feeding efficiency of the equipment.

[0019] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0020] The accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this utility model provide a coordinate system XYZ, where the positive direction of the X-axis represents the left and the negative direction of the X-axis represents the right, the positive direction of the Y-axis represents the front and the negative direction of the Y-axis represents the back, the positive direction of the Z-axis represents the top and the negative direction of the Z-axis represents the bottom.
[0021] This utility model embodiment provides a steel pipe conveying device, combined with Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the device includes a machine body, on which are mounted a motor 1, a screw 2, a lifting rod 3, a guide plate 4, and a liftable step assembly. The motor 1 is connected to and drives the screw 2 to rotate. The lifting rod 3 is threadedly connected to the screw 2 and moves up and down along the screw 2. The machine body has a discharge port 5. The step assembly is used to receive steel pipes and lift them stepwise to the discharge port 5. The guide plate 4 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the step assembly and is used to guide the discharge direction of the steel pipes. The lifting rod 3 is located at the discharge port 5 and is adapted to abut against the bottom of the guide plate 4.
[0022] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the screw 2 is driven to rotate by the motor 1, which in turn drives the lifting rod 3 to move up and down precisely, thereby adjusting the angle of the guide plate 4 and the height of the discharge port 5. This allows the equipment to flexibly adapt to docking equipment of different heights, effectively solving the problem of poor versatility of traditional stepped conveying equipment due to the fixed height of the discharge end, and significantly improving the applicability and feeding efficiency of the equipment.
[0023] like Figure 2 As shown, the machine body is also equipped with an electric push rod 6, which is connected to and drives the step assembly to rise and fall.
[0024] In this embodiment, the introduction of the electric actuator 6 provides stable and rapid lifting power for the step assembly, which not only enhances the equipment's ability to adjust to different height requirements but also enables automated control, reduces manual intervention, improves the overall operational stability and response speed, and further optimizes adaptability under various working conditions. When adapting to docking equipment of different heights, the lifting height of the step assembly can be precisely controlled by the electric actuator 6 to match the height of the docking equipment.
[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the stepped assembly includes a first step 7, a second step 8, and a third step 9 that are inclined from bottom to top. The upper ends of the first step 7, the second step 8, and the third step 9 are all inclined towards the discharge port 5, and the inclination direction and inclination angle are the same.
[0026] In this embodiment, a multi-level stepped structure is adopted and arranged at a uniform tilt angle to ensure that the steel pipe can rise steadily and step by step during the transportation process. This effectively prevents the steel pipe from getting stuck or slipping during the transfer process, improves the continuity and reliability of the transportation, and also improves the transportation efficiency, enabling the simultaneous transportation of multiple steel pipes.
[0027] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the front side of the first step 7 is connected to a first front side plate 10, the front and rear sides of the second step 8 are respectively connected to a second front side plate 11 and a first rear side plate 13, the front and rear sides of the third step 9 are respectively connected to a third front side plate 12 and a second rear side plate 14, the first front side plate 10 and the first rear side plate 13 are slidably connected, the second front side plate 11 and the second rear side plate 14 are slidably connected, the front side of the third front side plate 12 is slidably connected to a third rear side plate 15, and the third rear side plate 15 is rotatably connected to the rear end of the guide plate 4.
[0028] In this embodiment, the sliding connection between the multi-level side plates enables the components of the step assembly to move in a coordinated manner during the lifting process, maintaining structural stability and avoiding misalignment or deformation caused by changes in height. This ensures the smoothness and consistency of the steel pipe conveying path, while also enhancing the durability and overall rigidity of the equipment.
[0029] like Figure 5 As shown, the first front side plate 10, the second front side plate 11 and the third front side plate 12 are all provided with sliding grooves 16, and the first rear side plate 13, the second rear side plate 14 and the third rear side plate 15 are all connected with sliding pins 17. The sliding pins 17 are limited in the sliding grooves 16 and are slidably connected to the sliding grooves 16.
[0030] In this embodiment, the cooperation between the slide groove 16 and the sliding pin 17 achieves precise guidance and limiting functions, effectively preventing the side plate from shifting or detaching during the lifting process, ensuring the synchronous movement and stable lifting of the step assembly, reducing wear and failure rate, and extending the service life of the equipment.
[0031] like Figure 2As shown, the machine body is also provided with a baffle 18 and an inclined storage bin 19. The storage bin 19 is used to store steel pipes to be transported. The outlet of the storage bin 19 is aligned with the upper end of the first step 7 in the vertical direction. The baffle 18 is arranged on the left and right sides of the step assembly.
[0032] In this embodiment, the alignment design between the inclined storage bin 19 and the upper end of the first step 7 enables automatic feeding and smooth connection of the steel pipe, reducing the need for manual feeding. The left and right baffles 18 effectively restrict the lateral movement of the steel pipe, preventing it from deviating from the predetermined path during transportation, thus improving operational safety and transportation accuracy.
[0033] like Figure 2 As shown, the storage bin 19 is provided with a push plate 20 that moves left and right. The push plate 20 is used to push the steel pipes to align, so as to accommodate steel pipes of different lengths.
[0034] In this embodiment, the adjustable push plate 20 design allows the equipment to flexibly adapt to steel pipes of different lengths. By pushing and aligning, it ensures the stable placement of the steel pipes on the storage bin 19 and the stepped assembly, avoiding conveying interruptions or equipment damage caused by different lengths, and significantly enhancing the versatility of the equipment.
[0035] like Figure 2 As shown, the front end of the machine body is provided with a mounting shell 21 for accommodating the motor 1, the lifting rod 3 extends through the upper end of the mounting shell 21 and is slidably connected to the mounting shell 21, and the discharge port 5 is located above the mounting shell 21.
[0036] In this embodiment, the mounting shell 21 not only provides effective protection for the motor 1, preventing the intrusion of external dust and impurities, but also ensures the vertical movement accuracy of the lifting rod 3 through the guide structure, ensuring the stable adjustment of the height of the discharge port 5, while optimizing the equipment layout and improving the compactness and aesthetics of the overall structure.
