Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steel pipe processing technology, specifically to an automatic feeding mechanism for processing stainless steel pipe fittings. Background Technology
[0002] In the stainless steel pipe fittings processing industry, the feeding process is a critical step affecting processing efficiency and product quality. Currently, most companies have introduced automatic feeding devices, but significant drawbacks remain: First, most feeding devices can only achieve linear conveying in a single direction and cannot adjust the pipe fitting posture according to the needs of subsequent processing steps. This requires additional manual labor or specialized equipment for direction switching, increasing process complexity and cost. Second, during the feeding process, pipe fittings are prone to collisions and slippage due to the lack of stable limiting structures, resulting in scratches or deformation on the pipe fitting surface and reducing the product qualification rate. Utility Model Content

It has the advantage of automatically changing the posture of the steel pipe, and solves the problem that linear conveying in a single direction is difficult to meet different processing needs.

Guide frame one and guide frame two are respectively inclinedly arranged on both sides of the support base, and a feeding component for feeding stainless steel pipe fittings is also provided. The feeding assembly includes an arc-shaped groove 1 formed on the support base for supporting stainless steel pipe fittings. The arc-shaped groove 1 is located directly below the machine body. An inclined plate is fixedly connected between the support base and the guide frame 1. The horizontal height of the inclined plate is higher than that of the arc-shaped groove 1, and the horizontal height of the guide frame 1 is lower than that of the inclined plate. The support base is provided with multiple top blocks 1 and multiple top blocks 2. The top blocks 2 are used to lift the stainless steel pipe fittings in the guide frame 1, and the top blocks 1 are used to lift the stainless steel pipe fittings in the arc-shaped groove 1. The top of the top block 1 is provided with a trapezoidal edge, and the top of the top block 2 is provided with an inclined edge.
[0005] Preferably, an electric telescopic rod is fixedly installed on the top surface of the support base, and a U-shaped frame is fixedly connected to the free end of the electric telescopic rod. Multiple top blocks are uniformly fixed along one side of the length direction of the U-shaped frame, and multiple top blocks are uniformly fixed along the other side of the length direction of the U-shaped frame. The top blocks are symmetrically distributed.
[0006] Preferably, the arc-shaped groove is provided with a sliding groove corresponding to the top block one, and the guide frame one is also provided with a sliding groove corresponding to the top block two, with the top block one located above the top block two.
[0007] Preferably, the support base is further provided with a shifting component, which includes a semi-circular ring fixedly connected to one side of the support base. A transmission column is rotatably mounted on the inner ring surface of the semi-circular ring, and the transmission column rotates clockwise.

[0010] By means of the above technical solution, this utility model provides an automatic feeding mechanism for processing stainless steel pipe fittings, which has at least the following beneficial effects: 1.

[0014] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0015] The following describes, with reference to the accompanying drawings, some embodiments of the present invention, an automatic feeding mechanism for processing stainless steel pipe fittings.
[0016] Example 1: Combination Figures 1-3 As shown, the present invention provides an automatic feeding mechanism for processing stainless steel pipe fittings, including a support base 100 and a machine body 101 installed on the support base 100. Guide frame 102 and guide frame 203 are respectively inclinedly arranged on both sides of the support base 100. A feeding component 200 for feeding stainless steel pipe fittings is also provided to ensure that the pipe fittings can be directly aligned with the processing station after falling in, thereby reducing the pipe fittings positioning and adjustment time and improving processing accuracy and efficiency. The feeding assembly 200 includes an arc-shaped groove 201 formed on the support base 100 for supporting stainless steel pipe fittings. The arc-shaped groove 201 is located directly below the machine body 101. An inclined plate 202 is fixedly connected between the support base 100 and the guide frame 102. The horizontal height of the inclined plate 202 is higher than that of the arc-shaped groove 201, and the horizontal height of the guide frame 102 is lower than that of the inclined plate 202. The support base 100 is provided with multiple top blocks 205 and multiple top blocks 207. The top blocks 207 are used to lift the stainless steel pipe fittings in the guide frame 102, and the top blocks 205 are used to lift the stainless steel pipe fittings in the arc-shaped groove 201. The top of the top block 205 is provided with a trapezoidal edge 206, and the top of the top block 207 is provided with an inclined edge 208. First, the steel pipe slides diagonally downwards in the guide frame, and then the steel pipe stops moving when it contacts the inclined plate 202. Then, the top block 205 moves upward, causing the steel pipe to rise. The top frame 1 moves above the inclined plate 202 without contacting it. The steel pipe slides onto the inclined plate 202 and then falls into the arc groove 201. The machine body 101 then processes the steel pipe. After processing, the top block 205 and the top block 207 move upward again. The top block 207 lifts the processed steel pipe, causing it to detach from the arc groove 201 and slide into the guide frame 203. Repeating the above steps allows for continuous transport of the steel pipe. By setting the guide frames 102 and 203 at an angle on both sides of the support base 100, and combining the height difference between the inclined plate 202 and the arc groove 201, gravity-assisted sliding of the stainless steel pipe fittings is achieved, reducing additional power consumption. At the same time, the flow path of the pipe fittings is clear and orderly, avoiding accumulation and jamming during the transport process.
[0017] Specifically, an electric telescopic rod 203 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the support base 100. The free end of the electric telescopic rod 203 is fixedly connected to a U-shaped frame 204. Multiple top blocks 1 205 are evenly fixed along one side of the length direction of the U-shaped frame 204, and multiple top blocks 207 are evenly fixed along the other side of the length direction of the U-shaped frame 204. The top blocks 1 205 and top blocks 207 are symmetrically distributed. When the free end of the electric telescopic rod 203 extends, it drives the U-shaped frame 204 to rise. The U-shaped frame 204 drives the top blocks 1 205 and top blocks 207 to rise, realizing the loading and unloading of steel pipes and the synchronous lifting and lowering of top blocks 1 205 and top blocks 207. This avoids the complexity of controlling multiple power sources. At the same time, the electric drive method can accurately control the lifting speed and height, preventing the pipes from being damaged by collision due to excessive lifting speed or height, and improving the stability of the operation.
[0018] Furthermore, the arc-shaped groove is provided with a sliding groove corresponding to the top block 205, and the guide frame 102 is also provided with a sliding groove corresponding to the top block 207. The top block 205 is located above the top block 207, providing directional guidance for the lifting and lowering of the top block, avoiding the top block from shifting or getting stuck during the movement, ensuring the lifting path is accurate, and ensuring the stable flow of the pipe fitting.
[0019] Triangular reinforcing ribs are fixed at the connection points between the two side walls of the U-shaped frame 204 and the top block 205 and the top block 207. The thickness of the reinforcing ribs is the same as the wall thickness of the U-shaped frame 204, which enhances the connection strength between the top block and the U-shaped frame 204, avoids the top block from loosening or falling off due to long-term high-frequency lifting and lowering stress, and extends the service life of the mechanism.
[0020] As can be seen from the embodiments, the differentiated structures of top block 1 205 and top block 2 207 are respectively adapted to the lifting of the pipe to be processed in guide frame 102 and the lifting of the processed pipe in arc groove 201. This ensures that the pipe is not easy to slip during lifting and realizes the continuous action of "feeding-processing-unloading" without manual intervention, which significantly improves the degree of automation of feeding and continuous transportation capacity.
[0021] Example 2: Combination Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, based on Embodiment 1, the support base 100 is further provided with a shifting component 300. The shifting component 300 includes a semi-circular ring 301 fixedly connected to one side of the support base 100. A transmission column 304 is rotatably mounted on the inner ring surface of the semi-circular ring 301. The transmission column 304 rotates clockwise. Multiple arc-shaped grooves 305 are evenly opened along the circumferential direction on the cylindrical surface of the transmission column 304. The groove cavity size of the arc-shaped grooves 305 is adapted to the outer diameter of the stainless steel pipe to be conveyed. A guide frame 103 is located directly above the transmission column 304, and the discharge end of the guide frame 103 corresponds to the arc-shaped grooves 305 of the transmission column 304. The top surface of the support base 100 is fixed. A guide frame 303 is connected, located directly below the transmission column 304, with the orientation of the guide frame 303 forming a 90-degree angle with that of the guide frame 102. After processing, the steel pipe moves diagonally downward from the guide frame 103, then falls onto the arc-shaped groove 305 on the transmission column 304. Subsequently, the transmission column 304 rotates clockwise, conveying the steel pipe downward, and then the steel pipe falls onto the guide frame 303, realizing the change of the steel pipe's posture. This also provides good positioning and limiting for the pipe, preventing it from slipping or shifting during the rotation of the transmission column 304, thus ensuring the stability of the posture change process.
[0022] Specifically, a motor is fixedly mounted on the semi-circular ring 301, and a rotating shaft 302 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor. A transmission column 304 is fitted onto the rotating shaft 302. When the motor starts, it drives the rotating shaft 302 to rotate, and the transmission column 304 rotates with the rotating shaft 302. Without manual adjustment, the pipe can be changed from the original conveying direction to the new direction, which can meet the needs of different subsequent processing steps for the placement direction of the pipe.
[0023] As can be seen from the above embodiments: the stainless steel pipe fitting is initially placed in the guide frame 102. Due to the inclination of the guide frame 102, the pipe fitting slides downwards along it and stops in contact with the inclined plate 202 between the support base 100 and the guide frame 102. Subsequently, the electric telescopic rod 203 on the top surface of the support base 100 is activated, and its free end extends, driving the U-shaped frame 204 to rise. The top blocks 205 and 207, which are evenly fixed on both sides of the U-shaped frame 204, rise synchronously. The top block 205 enters the corresponding groove in the guide frame 102 to lift the pipe fitting until the top block 207 moves above the inclined plate 202 and does not contact the inclined plate 202. The pipe fitting then slides from the top block 207 to the inclined plate 202 and then... The pipe falls along the inclined plate 202 into the arc-shaped groove 201 located directly below the machine body 101. Then, the electric telescopic rod 203 retracts, driving the U-shaped frame 204, top block 205, and top block 207 to reset. The machine body 101 starts to process the pipe in the arc-shaped groove 201. After processing, the electric telescopic rod 203 extends again, driving the U-shaped frame 204 and top blocks 205 and 207 to rise. Top block 205 enters the corresponding slide groove in the arc-shaped groove 201 to lift the processed pipe, causing it to leave the arc-shaped groove 201 and slide into the inclined guide frame 2 103 on the other side of the support base 100. The pipe moves obliquely downward along the guide frame 2 103, realizing synchronous loading and unloading.
