Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipe fitting processing technology, and more specifically, to a pipe fitting feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] Pipe flaring is typically done online, meaning a flaring machine is installed after the extruder, and the pipe is flared directly after extrusion and cutting. However, sometimes vertical space limitations prevent the installation of a flaring machine after the cutting machine. Alternatively, some standard straight pipes in stock may need to be flared according to customer requirements, necessitating secondary flaring. Secondary flaring usually involves manually transporting the pipes to the flaring machine platform. Essentially, one pipe is flared at a time, and only after the flaring machine makes room can another pipe be moved in. Workers need to stand beside the flaring machine for extended periods waiting for new material, resulting in high labor intensity and extremely low production efficiency.

[0003] Existing technology discloses a feeding mechanism for a pipe fitting weld grinding machine, including a conveyor belt pipe feeding mechanism and a feeding device. The feeding device is located beside the conveyor belt pipe feeding mechanism, and there is a height difference between the conveying surface of the conveyor belt pipe feeding mechanism and the placement surface of the feeding device. The feeding device includes a material support frame and a lifting mechanism. The upper surface of the material support frame is inclined for stacking pipe fittings. The lifting mechanism lifts and rolls the pipe fittings onto the conveyor belt pipe feeding mechanism. This invention's feeding mechanism facilitates pipe fitting preparation, enables automatic feeding and efficient grinding, reduces manual labor intensity, and has high processing efficiency.

[0004] However, in actual production, pipe fittings that need to be flared come in different diameters. The jacking surface of the jacking mechanism in the above scheme is of a fixed size, and it can only jack pipe fittings of a fixed diameter, which is not adaptable enough. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the problem of insufficient adaptability of existing pipe fitting feeding mechanisms and to provide a pipe fitting feeding device that can adapt to the feeding of pipe fittings of different diameters, thereby improving adaptability.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: A pipe fitting feeding device is provided, including a frame and a plurality of lifting mechanisms connected to the frame. The top of the frame forms an inclined support surface for placing the pipe fitting. The frame is provided with a plurality of first pipe stops for limiting the displacement of the pipe fitting. The first pipe stops are located above the support surface, and the lifting mechanisms are located below the support surface. The lifting mechanisms are used to lift the pipe fitting to remove it from the restriction of the first pipe stops. The lifting mechanisms are slidably connected to the frame, and the sliding direction of the lifting mechanisms is perpendicular to the axis of the pipe fitting.

[0007] This utility model discloses a pipe feeding device. The feeding device is installed on one side of a machine tool, which can be a flaring machine. The operator first moves the pipes onto the support surface of the machine frame and arranges them in sequence. Since the support surface is inclined, the pipes will accumulate on the support surface in a layer. The pipe at the bottom is blocked by the first stop pipe. When the feeding machine starts feeding, the lifting mechanism will lift the bottom pipe, so that the pipe is freed from the obstruction of the first stop pipe and rolls down to the processing platform of the flaring machine. Driven by the processing platform, the pipe will be processed and transported to the material cage after processing. This feeding device can improve the degree of automation, reduce manpower input, and eliminate the need for workers to stand next to the flaring machine for a long time to wait for feeding, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0008] When processing pipe fittings of different diameters, the position of the sliding top-loading mechanism can be adjusted to ensure that the top-loading mechanism can only lift one pipe fitting at a time, thus adapting to the feeding of pipe fittings of different sizes and providing better adaptability.

[0009] Furthermore, the top-feeding mechanism includes a drive component slidably connected to the frame and a top block connected to the output end of the drive component. The drive component drives the top block to move vertically. When the top block is at the initial position of the top-feeding stroke, the top block is lower than the support surface. When the top block is at the end position of the top-feeding stroke, the top block is higher than the top of the first stop pipe component. The sliding direction of the drive component is parallel to the horizontal plane and perpendicular to the movement direction of the top block. When changing the pipe component size, it is only necessary to adjust the horizontal position of the top block by sliding the drive component to ensure that the top block only contacts the bottommost pipe component on the support surface, thus improving adaptability.

[0010] Furthermore, the frame is provided with a fixing plate, which has several transverse slots. The top-loading mechanism also includes fasteners that pass through the transverse slots and are used to lock the position of the drive component. The position of the drive component can be adjusted by loosening the fasteners, and the position of the drive component is fixed when the fasteners are locked.

[0011] Furthermore, the fixing plate is also equipped with scales corresponding to pipe fittings of different diameters. When changing the size of the pipe fitting, quick adjustment can be achieved by observing the scale, which improves convenience.

[0012] Furthermore, the top surface of the top block is inclined at the same angle as the supporting surface, and the first stop pipe is arranged vertically. The inclined top surface of the top block forms an angle of less than 90 degrees with the vertically arranged first stop pipe, making the pipe more stable during the lifting process and preventing it from detaching from the top block.

[0013] Furthermore, a second stop pipe is connected to one end of the top block near the pipe, and the second stop pipe is arranged vertically. When the top block lifts a pipe, the second stop pipe will block the fall of another pipe behind it, preventing the fall of the pipe from interfering with the reset of the second stop pipe. Only when the second stop pipe falls below the support surface will the pipe fall under the action of gravity.

[0014] Furthermore, a guide bar is provided at the top of the first stop pipe fitting, the guide bar extending away from the frame, with one end of the guide bar away from the frame lower than the other end. When the pipe fitting is lifted to the top of the first stop pipe fitting, the pipe fitting rolls down under the action of gravity, and the guide bar can guide the falling pipe fitting to ensure that it can fall more accurately into the connection point of the processing platform.

[0015] Furthermore, it also includes an alignment component, which comprises several adjusting rods, a baffle connected to one end of each adjusting rod, and a locking component for locking the adjusting rods and the frame. The adjusting rods are slidably connected to the frame, and the sliding direction is parallel to the axis of the pipe fitting. The extension length of the adjusting rods can be adjusted for pipe fittings of different lengths, so that the baffle can block one end of the pipe fitting, ensuring that the end face of the pipe fitting on the feeding machine is flush.

[0016] Furthermore, the bottom of the frame is threaded with four support legs. The height of the frame can be adjusted by rotating the support legs to accommodate different machine tools, thus improving its adaptability.

[0017] Furthermore, the inclination angle of the support surface is between 10° and 30°.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. This feeding device can improve the level of automation and reduce manpower input. Workers do not need to stand next to the flaring machine for a long time to wait for feeding, thus improving production efficiency. When processing pipe fittings of different diameters, the position of the feeding mechanism can be adjusted by sliding the feeding mechanism to ensure that the feeding mechanism can only lift one pipe fitting at a time. It can adapt to the feeding of pipe fittings of different sizes and has better adaptability. 2. The top surface of the top block is inclined, forming an angle of less than 90 degrees with the vertically set first stop pipe, which makes the pipe more stable during the lifting process and prevents it from falling off the top block; 3. The second-stop pipe fitting is designed so that when the top block lifts one pipe fitting, the second-stop pipe fitting will block the other pipe fitting behind it from falling, thus preventing the falling pipe fitting from interfering with the reset of the second-stop pipe fitting. 4. The extension length of the adjusting rod can be adjusted for pipes of different lengths, so that the baffle can block one end of the pipe and ensure that the end face of the pipe on the feeding machine is flush. 5. The height of the frame can be adjusted by rotating the support legs to adapt to different machine tools, thus improving its adaptability. Attached Figure Description

[0025] Example 1 This embodiment is a first embodiment of a pipe fitting feeding device, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the device includes a frame 100 and three ejector mechanisms 200 connected to the frame 100. The top of the frame 100 forms an inclined support surface for placing pipe fittings, with the support surface forming an angle of 30° with the horizontal plane. The frame 100 is provided with three first stop pipe fittings 110 for limiting the displacement of the pipe fittings. In this embodiment, the first stop pipe fitting is a stop bar, and the first stop pipe fitting 110 is located above the support surface and abuts against the lowermost pipe fitting. Figure 3 As shown, the frame 100 is provided with three fixed plates 120. Each fixed plate 120 has two parallel transverse grooves 121. Each top material mechanism 200 includes a fastener 230, a drive member 210 slidably connected to the frame 100, and a top block 220 connected to the output end of the drive member 210. In this embodiment, the drive member 210 is a cylinder, and the fastener 230 is a bolt and nut assembly. The bolt passes through the transverse groove 121 and the drive member and is threadedly connected to the nut. The drive member 210 drives the top block 220 to move in the vertical direction. When the top block 220 is at the initial position of the top material stroke, the top block 220 is lower than the support surface in the vertical direction. When the top block 220 is at the end position of the top material stroke, the top block 220 is higher than the top of the first stop pipe 110 in the vertical direction. The sliding direction of the drive member 210 is parallel to the horizontal plane and perpendicular to the movement direction of the top block 220. The fixed plate 120 is also provided with scales corresponding to pipes of different diameters.

[0026] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: This utility model discloses a pipe feeding device. The feeding device is located on one side of a machine tool, which can be a flaring machine or other processing machine tool. The operator first moves the pipes onto the support surface of the frame 100 and arranges them in sequence. Since the support surface is inclined, the pipes will accumulate on the support surface in a layer. The pipe at the bottom is blocked by the first stop pipe 110. When the feeding machine starts feeding, the top feeding mechanism 200 will lift the bottom pipe, so that the pipe is freed from the obstruction of the first stop pipe 110 and rolls down to the processing platform of the flaring machine. Driven by the processing platform, the pipe will be flared and transported to the material cage after processing. When processing pipes of different diameters, the fasteners 230 can be loosened, and then the drive component 210 can be slid to adjust the horizontal position of the top block 220. Then the fasteners 230 can be locked to ensure that the top block 220 only contacts the bottommost pipe on the support surface, which improves adaptability.

[0027] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The installation of this feeding device can improve the level of automation and reduce manpower input. Workers do not need to stand next to the flaring machine for a long time to wait for feeding, thus improving production efficiency. When changing the size of the pipe fittings, the sliding top feeding mechanism 200 can adapt to the feeding of pipe fittings of different sizes. It can be quickly adjusted by observing the scale, which is more convenient.

[0028] Example 2 This embodiment is a second embodiment of a pipe fitting feeding device, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the top surface of the top block 220 is inclined at an angle of 30° to the horizontal plane, the same as the inclination of the supporting surface. The first stop pipe component 110 is arranged vertically. A second stop pipe component 140 is also connected to the end of the top block 220 near the pipe component. The second stop pipe component 140 is also arranged vertically. Figure 1 As shown, the top end of the first stop tube 110 is provided with a guide strip 150. The guide strip 150 extends away from the frame 100. The end of the guide strip 150 away from the frame 100 is lower than the other end. The angle between the guide strip 150 and the horizontal plane is 30°.

[0029] The top surface of the top block 220 is inclined, forming an angle of less than 90 degrees with the vertically set first stop pipe 110, which makes the pipe more stable during the lifting process and prevents it from falling off the top block 220. When the top block 220 lifts a pipe, the second stop pipe 140 will block the fall of another pipe behind it, so as to prevent the fall of the pipe from interfering with the reset of the second stop pipe 140. Only when the second stop pipe 140 falls below the support surface will the pipe fall under the action of gravity. When the pipe is lifted to the top of the first stop pipe 110, the pipe rolls down under the action of gravity. The guide bar 150 can guide the falling pipe to ensure that it can fall more accurately into the connection of the processing platform.

[0030] The remaining working principles of this embodiment are the same as those of Embodiment 1.

[0031] Example 3 This embodiment is a third embodiment of a pipe fitting feeding device. This embodiment is similar to embodiment two, except that, as shown in the figure... Figure 4 As shown, it also includes an alignment member 300, which includes two adjusting rods 310, a baffle 320 fixed to one end of the two adjusting rods 310, and two locking members 330 for locking the adjusting rods 310 and the frame 100. The adjusting rods 310 are slidably connected to the frame 100 and the sliding direction is parallel to the axis of the pipe. The bottom of the frame 100 is threaded with four support legs 130.

[0032] The extension length of the adjusting rod 310 can be adjusted for pipes of different lengths, so that the baffle 320 can block one end of the pipe, ensuring that the end face of the pipe on the feeding machine is flush. The height of the frame 100 can be adjusted by rotating the support leg 130 to adapt to different machine tools and improve adaptability.

[0033] The remaining working principles of this embodiment are the same as those of Embodiment 2.

[0034] In the specific implementation of the above embodiments, the technical features can be combined in any non-contradictory way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the above technical features are described. However, as long as the combination of these technical features is not contradictory, it should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0035] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating this utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here.
