Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steel pipe sorting technology, specifically a sorting device for steel pipe processing. Background Technology
[0002] In the steel pipe manufacturing and processing industry, after processes such as cutting, threading, and heat treatment are completed, it is often necessary to sort and classify the steel pipes according to their specifications, such as length and diameter. Traditionally, sorting work is mainly done manually, with workers standing at the end of the production line, using visual observation and manual measurement to sort steel pipes of different specifications into different collection areas.
[0003] An existing patent (authorization announcement number: CN222789855U) discloses a bearing steel pipe sorting device. The key technical points of the solution are: the steel pipes are automatically sorted by a pushing device and an automatic control module. In order to reduce manual sorting of steel pipes and reduce the labor of workers, the pushing device pushes the steel pipes onto the toothed track. Then, the automatic control module automatically controls the second cylinder to sort defective and flawed products, thereby improving the machine's automatic sorting accuracy and speed. Qualified products are directly conveyed from the end of the toothed track into the sorting box.
[0004] However, the above-mentioned technical solutions still have certain drawbacks. These devices can usually only sort a single specification, and the sorting specifications are fixed, lacking flexibility. When the production line needs to sort steel pipes of various lengths, multiple sets of such devices need to be set up, making the equipment structure complex, occupying a large space, and costing a lot. Therefore, a sorting device for steel pipe processing is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a sorting device for steel pipe processing to solve the problems in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0007] A sorting device for steel pipe processing includes a frame and a conveyor mounted on the frame. A sorting component is provided above the frame along the conveying direction, material distribution components are provided on both sides of the frame, and a collection component is provided at the end.
[0008] The sorting assembly includes a fixed frame fixed on the frame, a drive motor mounted on the fixed frame, a first rotating shaft driven to rotate by the drive motor, a first gear rotating synchronously with the first rotating shaft and at least one first material feeding plate, a second gear meshing with the first gear, a second rotating shaft rotating synchronously with the second gear, and a second material feeding plate and a third material feeding plate mounted on the second rotating shaft.
[0009] The rotation trajectories of the first, second, and third feed plates cover the bearing surface of the conveyor tool, and the effective working length of the second feed plate is less than that of the third feed plate.
[0010] Based on the above technical solutions, this utility model also provides the following optional technical solutions:
[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the material distribution component includes multiple sets of material support plates fixedly installed on the side of the frame, and a feeding channel is fixedly provided on the side of the material support plate. Multiple sets of material collection boxes corresponding to the material support plates are provided at the bottom of the feeding channel.
[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model: the cross-sectional width of the feeding channel gradually decreases along the feeding direction, and a groove with a gradually increasing diameter is provided on the feeding channel.
[0013] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the collection component includes a collection box disposed at the end of the conveyor, a buffer plate is hinged inside the collection box, an elastic element is disposed at the bottom of the buffer plate, and a fixing plate is disposed at the other end of the elastic element and fixedly connected to the collection box.
[0014] As a further improvement of this utility model, the feeding channel is inclined.
[0015] As a further improvement of this utility model, the elastic element is a spring.
[0016] As a further improvement of this utility model: the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft are parallel to each other and arranged horizontally.
[0017] As a further improvement of this utility model, the bottom of the collection box is equipped with casters with a self-locking mechanism.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0019] 1. This utility model, by setting up a sorting component and two sets of material guide plates of different lengths, can sort steel pipes into at least three specifications of short, medium and long in one go, thereby improving sorting efficiency and functionality. At the same time, the two sets of material guide plates that rotate synchronously in opposite directions can be designed to avoid each other during movement, making it easy to adjust the sorting specifications. Simply replace the material guide plates of different lengths or adjust the installation angle of the material guide plates on the rotating shaft.
[0020] 2. By setting up a material sorting component and using an inclined channel, this utility model effectively guides the steel pipes sorted horizontally to the designated collection box position below, which is convenient for centralized management and handling. This optimizes the equipment space layout and realizes a complete automated process from sorting to classification and collection. Attached Figure Description

[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0030] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, a sorting device for steel pipe processing includes a frame 1 and a conveyor 2 mounted on the frame 1. A sorting component 3 is provided above the frame 1 along the conveying direction, a material distribution component 4 is provided on both sides of the frame 1, and a collection component 5 is provided at the end.
[0031] In this embodiment, the processed steel pipes are continuously placed on the conveyor 2, which smoothly transports the steel pipes forward and makes them pass through the working area of the sorting component 3 located above. The sorting component 3 sorts the steel pipes of different lengths, and the sorting component 4 separates and collects the sorted steel pipes. At the same time, the collection component 5 collects the steel pipes that have not been sorted.
[0032] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the sorting assembly 3 includes a fixed frame 32 fixed on the frame 1, a drive motor 31 mounted on the fixed frame 32, a first rotating shaft 33 driven to rotate by the drive motor 31, a first gear 34 rotating synchronously with the first rotating shaft 33, at least one first deflector plate 37, a second gear 36 meshing with the first gear 34, a second rotating shaft 35 rotating synchronously with the second gear 36, and a second deflector plate 38 and a third deflector plate 39 mounted on the second rotating shaft 35. The rotation trajectories of the first deflector plate 37, the second deflector plate 38, and the third deflector plate 39 cover the bearing surface of the conveyor 2, and the effective working length of the second deflector plate 38 is less than the effective working length of the third deflector plate 39. The first rotating shaft 33 and the second rotating shaft 35 rotate synchronously with the first gear 34. The rotating shafts 35 are parallel to each other and horizontally arranged; the drive motor 31 drives the first rotating shaft 33, which transmits power to the second rotating shaft 35 through the meshing of the first gear 34 and the second gear 36 fixed on it. The frame 1 is equipped with material distribution components 4 on both sides for separate collection. The first rotating shaft 33 and the second rotating shaft 35 are driven by material guide plates. The longest steel pipe is pushed into the material distribution component 4 by the first material guide plate 37. The medium-length steel pipe is long enough to be contacted by the shorter second material guide plate 38. When the second material guide plate 38 rotates down, it will push the pipe to one side of the material distribution component 4. The shortest steel pipe is the shortest and will be captured and pushed by the longest third material guide plate 39. The steel pipe that is pushed away from the conveyor 2 enters the material distribution component 4.
[0033] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the material sorting assembly 4 includes multiple sets of support plates 41 fixedly installed on the side of the frame 1. A feeding channel 42 is fixedly provided on the side of each support plate 41. Multiple collection boxes 43 corresponding to the support plates 41 are provided at the bottom of the feeding channel 42. The cross-sectional width of the feeding channel 42 gradually decreases along the feeding direction, and grooves with gradually increasing diameters are opened on the feeding channel 42. The feeding channel 42 is inclined. Multiple support plates 41 correspond to multiple sorting specifications. The feeding channel 42 is directly connected to the support plates 41 and is inclined. This allows the steel pipes to automatically and without power slide down under gravity and fall into the collection boxes 43 at the bottom. The channel entrance is wide, facilitating the collection of steel pipes that may roll down at different angles or positions, resulting in a high fault tolerance rate. As the channel extends downwards, the sidewalls gradually converge inwards, forcing the steel pipe to automatically adjust its posture during the sliding process. It is straightened and guided into the center line of the channel. As the steel pipe slides down the inclined channel, it will fall into different collection boxes 43 as the trough gradually expands.
[0034] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5As shown, the collecting assembly 5 includes a collecting box 51 located at the end of the conveyor 2. A buffer plate 52 is hinged inside the collecting box 51. An elastic element is provided at the bottom of the buffer plate 52, and a fixing plate 54 is provided at the other end of the elastic element and fixedly connected to the collecting box 51. The elastic element is a spring 53. A caster wheel 55 with a self-locking mechanism is installed at the bottom of the collecting box 51. The buffer plate 52 is in a horizontal or slightly inclined initial position under the support of the spring 53. When the steel pipe falls from the end of the conveyor 2 onto the buffer plate 52, the kinetic energy and impact force generated by its fall will force the buffer plate 52 to rotate downward around the hinge point. When the buffer plate 52 rotates downward, it presses the spring 53 at the bottom. The compression of spring 53 effectively absorbs the kinetic energy of the steel pipe and converts it into the elastic potential energy of spring 53. This process slows down the falling speed of buffer plate 52, allowing the steel pipe to land smoothly and softly instead of hitting the hard bottom of the box directly. After the energy of a single impact is absorbed, spring 53 releases its potential energy, pushing buffer plate 52 to rebound and return to its initial position, ready to meet the next fall. The casters 55 make it easy to push and transport the heavy collection box 51 filled with steel pipes and move it flexibly to the designated location.
[0035] The above embodiment discloses a sorting device for steel pipe processing. Mixed steel pipes of varying lengths, processed in the previous step, are placed at the starting end of the device. The conveyor 2 is activated, carrying these steel pipes and smoothly and continuously transporting them to the working area of the sorting component 3 located in the middle of the device. All steel pipes enter the working range of the sorting component 3. At this time, the first, second, and third deflecting plates 37, 38, and 39, driven by the drive motor 31 and rotating synchronously in opposite directions via gears, begin to screen the steel pipes. The displaced medium and long steel pipes fall onto their corresponding receiving plates 41. Subsequently, the steel pipes enter the inclined feeding channel 42 by gravity. The cross-sectional width of the channel gradually decreases, serving to automatically center the pipes and prevent blockages. The unsorted short steel pipes, after reaching the end with the conveyor 2, naturally fall into the collection box 51 at the end. The hinged buffer plate 52 inside the collection box 51 and the spring 53 at its bottom work together to absorb the enormous impact energy of the falling steel pipes, allowing them to land softly. This effectively prevents damage from impacts and significantly reduces noise.
[0036] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
