Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model particularly relates to a pipe storage device. Background Technology

[0002] Efficiently storing and handling large quantities of long, narrow pipes and profiles is a common and demanding task. Currently, the widely adopted solution is to use fixed pipe racks. These racks are typically constructed of steel frames with a series of fixed support positions or slots. Operators need to move the pipes one by one to the racks and walk back and forth to place them into different rack positions sequentially. However, this method has the following problems: The entire storage process relies entirely on manual handling and movement. Operators need to carry or hold heavy pipes for long distances and repeatedly bend over and stand up, which consumes a lot of energy and results in low work efficiency. In addition, operators are not only prone to injury from pipe collisions while carrying pipes, but also at risk of tripping or colliding with other equipment due to obstructed vision by pipes. Utility Model Content

[0003] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, the present invention proposes a pipe storage device.

[0004] A pipe storage device includes a frame and a drive unit. The frame is provided with a sliding seat that is driven by the drive unit to move along a first direction. A receiving frame is installed on the sliding seat through a detachable structure. The receiving frame has multiple parallel limiting grooves spaced apart along the first direction. Each limiting groove is used to receive a single pipe. In each limiting groove, multiple clamping members are arranged at intervals along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. Adjacent clamping members work together to confine the pipe within the limiting groove.

[0005] Preferably, the housing frame is inclined, with its upper end slidably engaged with a guide rod fixed to the frame, and its middle part connected to the sliding seat; the driving device is used to drive the upper end of the housing frame to slide along the guide rod.

[0006] Preferably, mounting seats are fixed on both sides of the sliding seat, and a reversible fixing ring is hinged to the mounting seat by a pin. The fixing ring is U-shaped or open annular. A locking member extending outward is provided at the bottom of the housing, which is a locking screw. During assembly, the locking screw passes through the opening of the fixing ring and is pressed into the fixing ring by an anti-dislodgement cap threaded to the locking screw, thereby realizing the quick installation and locking of the housing.

[0007] Preferably, the fixing ring is a U-shaped lock, which is connected to a handle. The handle is rotatably mounted on the mounting base via a rotating shaft, so that the operator can drive the U-shaped lock to rotate synchronously by turning the handle, thereby achieving engagement or disengagement with the locking component.

[0008] Preferably, the accommodating frame is provided with operating parts on both sides for workers to easily grasp and remove.

[0009] Preferably, the frame is provided with support seats at both ends, and the guide rod is fixedly installed on the support seats.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: This invention completely replaces the traditional work mode where operators have to carry pipes back and forth to find storage locations. A drive device moves the accommodating rack stepwise, causing each limiting slot to automatically and sequentially reach its fixed loading position. The operator can complete the loading of all pipes from the same location without moving. This eliminates unnecessary walking time for the operator and improves work efficiency. Furthermore, the limiting slots and clamps on the accommodating rack work together to ensure that the pipes are orderly and stable during efficient storage, avoiding damage caused by haphazard stacking or collisions that can occur with traditional methods.

[0018] A pipe storage device includes a frame 1 and a drive device 2. The frame 1 is provided with a sliding seat 3 that is driven by the drive device 2 to move along a first direction. A receiving frame 4 is installed on the sliding seat 3 through a detachable structure. The receiving frame 4 has multiple parallel limiting grooves 5 spaced apart along the first direction. Each limiting groove 5 is used to receive a single pipe 51. In each limiting groove 5, multiple clamping members 6 are arranged at intervals along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. Adjacent clamping members 6 work together to confine the pipe 51 within the limiting groove 5.

[0019] Furthermore, the housing frame 4 is inclined, with its upper end slidingly engaged with a guide rod 7 fixed to the frame 1, and its middle part connected to the sliding seat 3; the driving device 2 is used to drive the upper end of the housing frame 4 to slide along the guide rod 7.

[0020] Furthermore, mounting seats 31 are fixed on both sides of the sliding seat 3, and a reversible fixing ring 33 is hinged to the mounting seat 31 by a pin 32. The fixing ring 33 is U-shaped or open annular. A locking member 34 extending outward is correspondingly provided at the bottom of the housing frame 4. The locking member 34 is a locking screw. During assembly, the locking screw passes through the opening of the fixing ring 33 and is pressed into the fixing ring 33 by an anti-dislodgement cap 35 threaded to the locking screw, thereby realizing the quick installation and locking of the housing frame 4.

[0021] Furthermore, the fixing ring 33 is a U-shaped lock, which is connected to a handle 8. The handle 8 is rotatably mounted on the mounting base 31 via a rotating shaft, so that the operator can drive the U-shaped lock to rotate synchronously by turning the handle 8, thereby enabling it to engage or disengage from the locking member 34.

[0022] Furthermore, the two sides of the housing frame 4 are provided with operating parts 9 for workers to easily grasp and move away.

[0023] Furthermore, the frame 1 is provided with support seats 10 at both ends, and the guide rod 7 is fixedly installed on the support seats 10.

[0024] Example 1 As shown in the figure, the frame 1 is a long strip frame with a sliding seat 3 slidably mounted on its bottom. The sliding seat 3 can move along the length direction (first direction) of the frame 1 under the action of the drive device 2. The receiving frame 4 has multiple U-shaped limiting grooves 5 spaced apart along the first direction. Clamping members 6 are installed at certain intervals along the vertical direction (second direction) of each limiting groove 5. This arrangement can clamp the same pipe 51 in sections simultaneously with uniform clamping force. The drive device 4 can use a servo motor, stepper motor, or geared motor as the power source and is connected to the sliding seat 2 through a ball screw, synchronous belt, or chain transmission mechanism to drive it to move linearly.

[0025] The usage scenario is as follows: The drive unit 2 drives the sliding seat 3 to move to the starting end of the frame 1, aligning the first limiting groove 531 of the accommodating frame 43 with the fixed loading station 1-1. The operator places a pipe 51 into the first limiting groove 5 at the loading station, and the clamping member 6 holds the pipe 51 within the limiting groove 5. After a single pipe 51 is loaded, the drive unit 2 drives the sliding seat 3 to move a fixed step distance, i.e., the distance between one limiting groove 5, so that the second limiting groove 5 moves to align with the loading station 1-1. The above steps are repeated until all limiting grooves 5 on the accommodating frame 4 are filled with pipes 51. Then, the operator loosens the anti-detachment cap 35, pulls the operating handle 8 to open the U-shaped fixing ring 33, and can then remove the fully loaded accommodating frame 4 and replace it with an empty accommodating frame 4 to begin a new round of work.

[0026] Example 2 As a preferred embodiment, the housing frame 4 of this application adopts an inclined design. A pair of support seats 10 are bolted to both ends of the frame 1, and a high-strength round steel rod 7 is fixed to both ends of the support seats 10 as a guide rod. The upper end of the housing frame 4 is slidably mounted on the guide rod 7. As an example, rollers can be installed on both sides of the upper end of the housing frame 4, and these rollers are supported on the guide rod 7 and can roll along it. This inclined design has significant advantages over the scheme of setting the housing frame 4 vertically (i.e., making the length direction of the pipe 51 vertical): when the operator places the pipe 51 at the loading station 1-1, the pipe 51 can slowly slide into the bottom of the inclined limiting groove 5 by its own weight. The component of its gravitational acceleration in the groove direction is small, thereby effectively slowing down the falling and collision speed of the pipe 51.

[0027] Example 3 Based on the above technical solution, this application welds mounting seats 31 to both sides of the sliding seat 3. A U-shaped fixing ring 33, made of round steel, has a handle 8 connected to its bottom. The handle 8 is hinged to the mounting seat 31 by a pin 32, allowing for easy rotation. A locking screw is welded to the bottom of the housing 4. During installation, the housing 4 is placed in position so that the locking screw is aligned with the opening of the U-shaped fixing ring 33. The operating handle 8 is pulled upwards so that the U-shaped fixing ring 33 fits onto the locking screw. Finally, the anti-dislodgement cap 35 is screwed onto the end of the locking screw and tightened. This structure enables tool-free quick installation and removal of the housing 4, greatly improving replacement efficiency.

[0028] Example 4 An operating section 9 is provided in the center of each of the two side panels of the housing 4. This operating section 9 allows the operator to easily reach in and firmly grasp the housing 4 with their bare hands, so that it can be easily lifted and transported after disassembly.

[0029] This invention completely replaces the traditional operation mode where operators need to carry pipes 51 back and forth to find storage locations. The drive device 2 drives the housing frame 4 to move step by step, causing each limiting slot 5 to automatically and sequentially reach its fixed loading position. The operator can complete the loading of all pipes 51 from the same location without moving. This eliminates the operator's unnecessary walking time and improves work efficiency. Furthermore, the limiting slots 5 and clamping parts 6 on the housing frame 4 work together to ensure that the pipes 51 are still orderly and stably fixed during efficient storage, avoiding damage to the pipes 51 that may be caused by random stacking or collisions in traditional methods.

[0030] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes or modifications can be made to the present invention without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention as defined by the claims. Therefore, the detailed description of the embodiments in this disclosure is for explanation only and not for limiting the present invention, but rather the scope of protection is defined by the content of the claims.
