Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metal tube processing technology, and more specifically, to a double-sided feeding mechanism for metal tubes. Background Technology

[0002] In the pipe processing industry, coiled material is continuously sawn online using sawing equipment, which can cut the coiled material into straight metal pipes of the required length at a high speed, resulting in high production efficiency. Burrs usually remain on the end faces of the sawn metal pipes. To meet the quality requirements of the pipe ends, a deburring device is needed to perform online deburring treatment on the ends after sawing.

[0003] However, in actual production, the processing speed of a single deburring device is often significantly lower than the sawing speed of the upstream sawing equipment, making the deburring process a bottleneck for the entire production line. Simply increasing the speed of a single deburring device is technically challenging, costly to modify, and unlikely to meet capacity requirements in a short time. Conversely, slowing down the sawing equipment to wait for deburring would significantly sacrifice the high efficiency of sawing itself, resulting in a severe loss of overall production efficiency.

[0004] To improve the overall processing capacity of the deburring process, a feasible approach is to install a deburring device on each side of the sawing equipment's outlet, allowing the two devices to process the sawn metal tubes in parallel. Currently, the unloading mechanism separates good and defective metal tubes based on flaw detection results: good tubes exit from one side, while defective tubes fall into the defective tube collection box from the other side. If deburring devices are placed on both sides of the unloading mechanism, the diversion of defective metal tubes must be considered.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a feeding mechanism that can sequentially distribute the continuously sawn metal tubes to the deburring devices on both sides, so that the combined capacity of the two deburring devices can match the sawing capacity, and that it can also have the function of transferring and collecting defective products. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings and deficiencies in the existing technology and provide a double-sided feeding mechanism for metal pipes. This feeding mechanism combines the alternating flipping distribution on both sides with the diversion and discharge of defective metal pipes, so that two downstream process devices can receive the metal pipes output by the upstream metal pipe processing equipment in parallel, so that the processing efficiency of the upstream and downstream is matched, thereby improving the overall processing efficiency. At the same time, it can realize the transfer and collection of defective metal pipes, avoid the ineffective occupation of defective metal pipes in subsequent processes, and ensure continuous and stable production.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a double-sided feeding mechanism for metal tubes, comprising: frame; The discharge chute, located at the output end of the metal tube processing equipment, is flip-mounted and used to receive the metal tubes processed by the equipment and roll them to both sides. The feeding channels are respectively set on both sides of the discharge trough to receive the metal pipes rolling down from the discharge trough and continue to roll the metal pipes outwards; among them, at least one feeding channel is a dynamic feeding channel, which is set on the side of the discharge trough by a swing mechanism, so that the dynamic feeding channel can swing to connect with the feeding end of the next process device, or swing to the defective feeding position, so that a defective discharge port is left between the dynamic feeding channel and the feeding end of the next process device for defective metal pipes to fall. And a defective product collection container, located below the defective discharge port, for collecting defective metal pipes.

[0008] Preferably, the dynamic feeding channel includes a feeding plate disposed on the frame and connected to the discharge trough, and a plurality of feeding swing arms arranged at intervals on the side of the feeding plate away from the discharge trough; the feeding plate and each feeding swing arm together form a feeding slope that gradually slopes downward from the discharge trough; each feeding swing arm is respectively connected to the swing mechanism for transmission.

[0010] Preferably, the swing mechanism includes a cylinder; each rotating arm is provided with a pin; the pin passes through a connector seat; each connector seat is connected in sequence by a pull rod, and the outermost connector seat is connected to the cylinder to achieve synchronous swinging of each rotating arm.

[0011] Preferably, the cross-section of the discharge trough wall is V-shaped; the end of the discharge trough closer to the metal pipe processing equipment is an open end, and the end farther away from the metal pipe processing equipment is a closed end.

[0012] Preferably, the discharge trough is rotatably mounted on the frame and is driven by a flipping device to achieve flipping.

[0013] Preferably, the tilting device includes a second cylinder and a gear set; The gear set includes a driving gear and a driven sector gear that mesh with each other; the driven sector gear is located at the bottom of the discharge trough; the driving gear is rotatably mounted on the frame and is connected to the cylinder to achieve rotation, thereby driving the discharge trough to flip.

[0014] Preferably, one of the feeding channels is a dynamic feeding channel and the other is a fixed feeding channel; the fixed feeding channel is disposed on the frame; the fixed feeding channel gradually slopes downward as it extends from the side near the discharge chute to the side away from the discharge chute.

[0015] Preferably, the defective product collection container is movably positioned below the defective product outlet via a movable device.

[0016] Preferably, the defective product collection container is slidably mounted on a guide rail and slides along the guide rail via a moving device.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0020] Example 1

[0021] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown in the figure, this embodiment of a metal tube double-sided feeding mechanism includes: a frame, a discharge chute 1, a feeding channel and a defective product collection container 4.

[0022] The discharge trough 1 is located at the output end of the metal tube processing equipment. It is used to receive the metal tubes processed by the metal tube processing equipment and roll the metal tubes to both sides. Figure 2 In the diagram, the discharge chute is indicated by a dashed line to show the state of receiving metal pipes, and by a solid line to show the state of flipping and discharging. The discharge chute 1 is rotatably mounted on the frame and is driven by a flipping device 5 to achieve flipping. The flipping device 5 includes a cylinder 5.1 and a gear set; the gear set includes a meshing drive gear 5.2 and a driven sector gear 5.3; the driven sector gear 5.3 is located at the bottom of the discharge chute 1; the drive gear 5.2 is rotatably mounted on the frame and is driven by the cylinder 5.1 to achieve rotation, thereby driving the discharge chute 1 to flip.

[0023] The cross-section of the discharge trough 1 is preferably V-shaped, which guides the movement of the metal tube during the discharge of the metal processing equipment and facilitates the smooth rolling of the metal tube to both sides after the discharge trough is overturned. The end of the discharge trough 1 closest to the metal tube processing equipment is an open end, and the end furthest from the metal tube processing equipment is a closed end.

[0024] This utility model's feeding mechanism can rotate the continuously output metal tubes from the metal tube processing equipment at left-right intervals, allowing them to roll along the feeding channel and automatically distribute them to the next process devices on both sides. This enables two next process devices to work in parallel, matching the total capacity with the upstream processing capacity, eliminating the capacity bottleneck caused by a single next process device, and eliminating the need to reduce processing speed, thus fully leveraging the advantages of online high-efficiency processing. By rotating the discharge trough 1 at left-right intervals using the rotating device 5, the orderly alternating conveying of metal tubes to both sides is achieved, avoiding the accumulation, jamming, or mutual interference of metal tubes in a single channel. This ensures that the metal tubes can accurately and smoothly enter the corresponding next process, improving the stability and continuity of equipment operation.

[0025] The feeding channels are respectively located on both sides of the discharge trough 1 to receive the metal pipes rolling down from the discharge trough 1 and continue to roll the metal pipes outwards. In this embodiment, one is a dynamic feeding channel 2 and the other is a fixed feeding channel 3. The fixed feeding channel 3 is set on the frame; the fixed feeding channel 3 gradually slopes downwards as it extends from the side closer to the discharge trough 1 to the side farther away from the discharge trough 1.

[0026] The dynamic feeding channel 2 includes a feeding plate 2.1 mounted on the frame and connected to the discharge trough 1, and several feeding swing arms 2.2 spaced apart on the side of the feeding plate 2.1 away from the discharge trough 1. The feeding plate 2.1 and each feeding swing arm 2.2 together form a feeding slope that gradually slopes downward from the discharge trough 1. Each feeding swing arm 2.2 is connected to a swing mechanism to swing to connect with the inlet end 6 of the next process device, or to a defective feeding position, so that a defective discharge port is left between the feeding swing arm 2.2 and the inlet end 6 of the next process device for defective metal tubes to fall.

[0027] The oscillation mechanism of the unloading swing arm 2.2 is as follows: the oscillation mechanism includes a cylinder 2.3; a rotating shaft 2.5 is respectively provided below each unloading swing arm 2.2; a swing seat 2.4 is connected to the frame; the rotating shaft 2.5 is rotatably set in the swing seat 2.4; the rotating shaft 2.5 is connected to a swing arm 2.6; each swing arm 2.6 is provided with a pin; the pin passes through a connector seat 2.7; each connector seat 2.7 is connected in sequence by a pull rod 2.8, and the outermost connector seat 2.7 is connected to the cylinder 2.3 to realize the synchronous oscillation of each swing arm 2.6.

[0028] The defective product collection container 4 is located below the defective discharge port and is used to collect defective metal pipes.

[0029] This embodiment uses a built-in detection module of the metal tube processing equipment, or a detection module is set above the discharge chute, to detect the metal tubes and determine whether they are good or defective. The detection module can use existing technology. When the currently feeding metal tube is determined to be defective, the flipping device 5 flips the discharge chute 1 towards the dynamic discharge channel 2, and at the same time, the discharge swing arm 2.2 of the dynamic discharge channel 2 swings to the defective discharge position to open the defective discharge port, allowing the defective metal tube to roll into the defective product collection container 4.

[0030] This utility model includes a dynamic feeding channel 2 with a flexibly openable and closable defective discharge port. Defective products are directly discharged without entering the next process, avoiding unnecessary occupation of subsequent equipment and ensuring the quality and efficiency of continuous production. A feeding swing arm 2.2 is used as the rear half of the dynamic feeding channel 2. The feeding swing arm 2.2 swings along the feeding slope to form an openable or closable defective discharge port. The swing path of the feeding swing arm 2.2 will not intrude into the interior of the defective product collection container 4, ensuring that the effective holding space of the defective product collection container 4 is not occupied.

[0031] The preferred solution is that the defective product collection container 4 is slidably mounted on the guide rail 4.1 and can slide along the guide rail 4.1 through the moving device 4.2 to move out or into the area below the defective product outlet, which facilitates the removal and cleaning of defective products and makes the operation convenient.

[0032] The double-sided unloading mechanism for metal tubes in this embodiment can be applied to the output end of a metal tube sawing equipment. It unloads the metal tubes cut by the sawing equipment from both sides, then conveys them to the deburring device in the next process. This allows two deburring devices to work in parallel, matching the overall processing efficiency with that of the metal tube sawing equipment. In practical applications, this double-sided unloading mechanism for metal tubes can also be applied to unloading scenarios in other metal tube processing equipment.

The remaining structure of this embodiment is the same as that of Embodiment 1.

[0035] The above embodiments are preferred embodiments of the present utility model, but the embodiments of the present utility model are not limited to the above embodiments. Any changes, modifications, substitutions, combinations, or simplifications made without departing from the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be considered equivalent substitutions and shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
