Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of pipe flipping, and in particular to an adjustable flipping device. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid iteration of industrial automation technology and the deep penetration of intelligent manufacturing concepts in the pipe processing field, flexible production lines have become a core configuration for improving production capacity and product quality in the steel pipe processing industry (such as steel structure and pipeline manufacturing). In the multi-faceted punching process of steel pipes, the steel pipes need to be precisely flipped to achieve punching operations on different sides. Therefore, the automation level, adaptability to working conditions, and operational stability of the flipping process directly determine the processing efficiency, punching accuracy, and surface integrity of the entire production line.

[0003] Currently, the main technical solution for steel pipe flipping in the industry is manual flipping. In this method, after the steel pipe is transported to the designated workstation by the conveyor belt, the operator needs to manually flip the steel pipe to the target angle (such as 90° or 180°) and then transfer it to the drilling and punching table with auxiliary tools.

[0004] However, this solution has significant limitations: manual operation is inefficient and cannot match the high-speed conveying rhythm of the production line, which can easily cause process interruptions and limit overall production capacity. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to improve the automation of industrial production lines and facilitate the punching process on the flipped side of steel pipes, this application provides an adjustable flipping device.

[0006] This application provides an adjustable flipping device, which adopts the following technical solution: An adjustable flipping device includes at least two conveyor belt frames for conveying steel pipes, a base frame is provided between the two conveyor belt frames, an L-shaped plate is lifted and lowered on the top surface of the base frame, a flipping table for flipping the steel pipes is provided above the L-shaped plate, and a flipping mechanism for driving the flipping table to flip.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the steel pipe is conveyed along the conveying direction of the conveyor belt frame. When the steel pipe is conveyed to the top of the turning table and needs to be turned, the turning table is raised by the L-shaped plate until the turning table lifts the steel pipe and removes it from the conveyor belt frame. Then, the turning mechanism drives the turning table to turn, and the turning table in turn drives the steel pipe to turn. Then, the turning table is lowered back down by the L-shaped plate until the steel pipe is placed back on the conveyor belt frame, completing the turning of the steel pipe. This helps to reduce manual operation, improve the automation of the industrial production line, and facilitate the punching process on the turned side of the steel pipe.

[0008] Optionally, the flipping mechanism includes a horizontal slide plate and a vertical slide plate. The L-shaped plate includes a horizontal side and a vertical side. The horizontal slide plate is slidably disposed on the horizontal side, and the vertical slide plate is slidably disposed on the vertical side. One end of the flipping platform is hinged to the vertical slide plate, and the other end of the flipping platform is hinged to the horizontal slide plate.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, when the vertical slide plate is driven to descend, the vertical slide plate drives the flipping table to flip. At the same time as the flipping table flips, it drives the horizontal slide plate to slide outward until the steel pipe finally completes the flipping, which helps to improve the stability of the steel pipe flipping.

[0010] Optionally, the L-shaped plate is further provided with a guide assembly for sliding the horizontal slide plate and the vertical slide plate. The guide assembly includes a guide rail, which is fixedly disposed on the inner side of the L-shaped plate. The horizontal slide plate and the vertical slide plate are slidably connected to the guide rail, respectively.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, under the constraint of the guide rail, the horizontal and vertical slide plates slide along the length of the guide rail, which helps to improve the stability of the tilting table.

[0012] Optionally, the base frame is provided with a lifting assembly for driving the L-shaped plate to rise and fall. The lifting assembly includes a first driving member, which is disposed on the inner bottom wall of the base frame. The telescopic end of the first driving member passes through the base frame and is fixedly connected to the L-shaped plate.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, when the first driving component is activated, the first driving component drives the L-shaped plate to rise and fall through the telescopic end, and the L-shaped plate ultimately drives the tilting table to rise and fall, which helps to improve the stability of the tilting table's lifting and lowering.

[0014] Optionally, the bottom surface of the L-shaped plate is provided with at least two guide rods, the at least two guide rods pass through the base frame, the at least two guide rods are slidably connected to the base frame respectively, and the bottom ends of the at least two guide rods are respectively provided with limit blocks.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the L-shaped plate rises and falls above the base frame under the action of the guide rod, which helps to improve the stability of the L-shaped plate's rise and fall.

[0016] Optionally, a rubber pad is provided on the inner side of the tilting table.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the direct frictional contact between the tilting table and the steel pipe is reduced by using rubber pads, thus avoiding frictional damage to the surface of the steel pipe.

[0018] Optionally, the bottom surface of the L-shaped plate is provided with a second driving member, the top surface of the base frame is provided with a clearance hole, the second driving member is slidably connected to the clearance hole, the telescopic end of the second driving member passes through the L-shaped plate, and the telescopic end of the second driving member is fixedly connected to the vertical sliding plate.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, when the L-shaped plate is raised or lowered, the L-shaped plate drives the second driving component to rise or fall, and with the help of the clearance hole, the second driving component is prevented from colliding with the base frame during the raising or lowering process.

[0020] Optionally, both the first driving component and the second driving component are cylinders.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, when the cylinder is started, the telescopic end of the cylinder moves telescopically, which helps to ensure the stability of the L-shaped plate and the vertical slide plate during lifting.

[0022] In summary, this application includes the following beneficial technical effects: The steel pipe is conveyed along the conveyor belt frame. When the steel pipe is conveyed to the top of the turning table and needs to be turned, the turning table is raised by the L-shaped plate until it lifts the steel pipe and removes it from the conveyor belt frame. Then, the turning mechanism drives the turning table to turn, which in turn drives the steel pipe to turn. Then, the L-shaped plate drives the turning table to return to its original position and lower it until the steel pipe is placed back on the conveyor belt frame, completing the turning of the steel pipe. This helps to reduce manual labor, improve the automation of the industrial production line, and facilitate the punching process on the turned side of the steel pipe. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0025] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-3 This application will be described in further detail.

[0026] See Figure 1 and Figure 2An adjustable flipping device includes a conveyor belt frame 1 for conveying steel pipes 14. There are at least two conveyor belt frames 1, spaced apart. A base frame 2 is fixedly connected between every two conveyor belt frames 1. An L-shaped plate 3 is mounted on the top surface of the base frame 2, and a flipping table 4 is mounted on the L-shaped plate 3 for flipping the steel pipes 14. The L-shaped plate 3 is also equipped with a flipping mechanism for driving the flipping table 4 to flip.

[0027] First, the steel pipe 14 to be processed is placed flat on the conveyor belt frame 1, and the conveyor belt frame 1 transports the steel pipe 14 to the processing position. When the steel pipe 14 needs to be flipped, the steel pipe 14 is first transported to the top of the flipping table 4, and then the L-shaped plate 3 drives the flipping table 4 to rise until the flipping table 4 lifts the steel pipe 14 and removes it from the conveyor belt frame 1. Then, the flipping mechanism drives the flipping table 4 to flip, and the flipping table 4 in turn drives the steel pipe 14 to flip. Then, the L-shaped plate 3 drives the flipping table 4 to return to its original position and descend until the steel pipe 14 is placed back on the conveyor belt frame 1, completing the flipping of the steel pipe 14.

[0028] For details, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The flipping mechanism includes a horizontal slide plate 5 and a vertical slide plate 6. The L-shaped plate 3 includes a horizontal side and a vertical side, with the horizontal slide plate 5 slidably mounted on the horizontal side and the vertical slide plate 6 slidably mounted on the vertical side. The flipping table 4 is angled, with one end of the flipping table 4 hinged to the vertical slide plate 6 and the angled end of the flipping table 4 hinged to the horizontal slide plate 5.

[0029] In addition, to further improve the stability of the horizontal sliding plate 5 and the vertical sliding plate 6 sliding on the horizontal and vertical sides respectively, the L-shaped plate 3 is equipped with a guide assembly, which includes a guide rail 7. The guide rail 7 is fixed to the horizontal and vertical sides of the L-shaped plate 3 respectively, and the horizontal sliding plate 5 and the vertical sliding plate 6 are slidably connected to the guide rail 7 respectively.

[0030] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 The bottom surface of the L-shaped plate 3 is fixedly connected to a second driving component 8, and the top surface of the base frame 2 has a clearance hole 9 through which the second driving component 8 passes through the base frame 2. The telescopic end of the second driving component 8 passes through the L-shaped plate 3, and the telescopic end of the second driving component 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the vertical slide plate 6.

[0031] When the second drive unit 8 is activated, its telescopic end causes the vertical slide plate 6 to slide downwards along the guide rail 7. The vertical slide plate 6 then drives the tilting table 4 to tilt via the hinge point. Simultaneously, the tilting table 4 drives the horizontal slide plate 5 to move to the right along the guide rail 7 via the hinge point, at which point the tilting table 4 drives the steel pipe 14 to tilt.

[0032] See Figure 2 and Figure 3To facilitate the lifting and lowering of the L-shaped plate 3, a lifting assembly is installed on the base plate, which includes a first driving component 10. The first driving component 10 is fixed to the inner bottom wall of the base frame 2, and the telescopic end of the first driving component 10 passes through the base frame 2 and is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the L-shaped plate 3.

[0033] In addition, guide rods 11 are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the L-shaped plate 3, and there are at least two guide rods 11. In this embodiment, there are four guide rods 11, which are evenly distributed around the periphery of the L-shaped plate 3, and each of the four guide rods 11 is slidably connected to the base frame 2. Limiting blocks 12 are also fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the four guide rods 11.

[0034] When the first driving component 10 is activated, its telescopic end causes the L-shaped plate 3 to rise. Guided by the guide rod 11, the L-shaped plate 3 rises stably. Furthermore, the limiting block 12 helps control the rising height of the L-shaped plate 3.

[0035] It is worth mentioning that, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 A rubber pad 13 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the tilting table 4. The rubber pad 13 reduces the direct frictional contact between the tilting table 4 and the steel pipe 14, thus preventing frictional damage to the surface of the steel pipe 14.

[0036] Furthermore, in this embodiment, both the first driving member 10 and the second driving member 8 are cylinders.

[0037] The working principle of an adjustable flipping device: First, the steel pipe 14 to be processed is placed flat on the conveyor belt frame 1, which transports the steel pipe 14 to the processing position. When the steel pipe 14 needs to be flipped, it is first transported to the top of the flipping table 4. Then, the first drive unit 10 is activated, and its telescopic end drives the L-shaped plate 3 to rise until the flipping table 4 lifts the steel pipe 14 and removes it from the conveyor belt frame 1. Then, the second drive unit 8 is activated, and its telescopic end drives the vertical slide plate 6 to slide down along the guide rail 7. The vertical slide plate 6 drives the flipping table 4 to flip through the hinge point. While the flipping table 4 is flipping, it drives the horizontal slide plate 5 to move to the right along the guide rail 7 through the hinge point. At this time, the flipping table 4 drives the steel pipe 14 to flip. Then, the L-shaped plate 3 drives the flipping table 4 to return to its original position and descend until the steel pipe 14 is placed back on the conveyor belt frame 1, completing the flipping of the steel pipe 14.

[0038] In summary, this flipping device helps reduce manual labor, improves the automation of industrial production lines, and facilitates the flipping and punching of steel pipe 14.

[0039] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
