[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of pipe sorting and feeding technology, specifically relating to an automatic layered sorting structure for multi-layer rectangular pipe materials. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, due to the large market demand for rectangular tubing, its applications cover many fields such as machinery manufacturing, construction engineering, and automotive parts processing. It is widely used as a core component such as load-bearing components, transmission pipelines, and frame skeletons.

[0003] In rectangular tube processing equipment, such as packaging machines, cutting machines, and drilling machines, it is necessary to separate individual rectangular tubes from a pile to facilitate processing them one by one. However, current tube sorting and feeding structures on the market are mainly designed for round tubes, with few structures specifically for rectangular tubes. Round tubes have good rolling properties and can be fed by rolling, as shown in Chinese patent application number 202310041540.3, which discloses an automatic feeding device for small-diameter tubes and its usage method. This automatic feeding device uses a motor to tighten or loosen the feed belt, thereby lifting or lowering the tubes and allowing them to be rolled one by one. However, rectangular tubes do not have rolling properties, making it difficult to apply such automatic feeding devices for sorting and feeding. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an automatic sorting and feeding structure for rectangular tubes. Utility Model Content

[0016] See Figures 1 to 5This embodiment discloses an automatic layered sorting structure for multi-layer rectangular tubing, including a pushing device 1 for pushing the rectangular tubing forward, a support frame 2 for supporting the rectangular tubing, a lifting device for moving the support frame 2 up and down, a conveying device 3 for conveying the rectangular tubing forward, and at least one frame 4. The frame 4 is provided with a stacking area 5 for placing the rectangular tubing, and the support frame 2 is located below the stacking area 5. The lifting device is connected to the support frame 2. The conveying device 3 is located in front of the stacking area 5. The pushing device 1 includes a push plate 11, a pushing rod 12, and a push bar. The machine includes a connecting frame 13, a height adjustment mechanism 14, a front-to-back moving mechanism 15, and a drive mechanism 16. The front-to-back moving mechanism 15 is mounted on the frame 4. The drive mechanism 16 is connected to the front-to-back moving mechanism 15 and is used to drive the front-to-back moving mechanism 15 to move back and forth. The height adjustment mechanism 14 is mounted on the front-to-back moving mechanism 15, and the push rod connecting frame 13 is mounted on the height adjustment mechanism 14. One end of the push rod 12 is connected to the push rod connecting frame 13, and the other end extends to the rear side of the stacking area 5 and is connected to the push plate 11. The push plate 11 is mounted on the side of the push rod 12 facing the stacking area 5. The forward and backward moving mechanism 15 is used to drive the push plate 11 and the push rod 12 to move forward and backward, and the height adjustment mechanism 14 is used to adjust the height position of the push plate 11 and the push rod 12. When the automatic layer sorting structure of this embodiment is working, the rectangular tubes are first arranged and placed in the stacking area 5. In the stacking area 5, there are multiple layers of rectangular tubes in both the vertical and horizontal directions. The support frame 2 supports the rectangular tubes in the stacking area 5. The lifting device drives the support frame 2 to move up and down, so that the top layer of rectangular tubes in the stacking area 5 is at the same horizontal position as the push rod 12. Then, the driving mechanism 16 drives the forward and backward moving mechanism 15 to move forward and backward, driving the push plate 11 and the push rod 12 to move forward. The push plate 11 pushes the entire row of rectangular tubes at the top layer forward, so that the rectangular tube at the front of the top layer moves to the conveying device 3. The driving mechanism 16... The conveying device 3 stops, and the conveyor conveys the rectangular tubes forward, thus completing the automatic feeding of one rectangular tube. The pushing device 1 continues to drive the pushing rod 12 forward until the entire row of rectangular tubes at the top is pushed to the conveying device 3 one by one. After the conveying device 3 feeds the tubes forward, the lifting device drives the support frame 2 to move upward. The support frame 2 lifts all the rectangular tubes in the stacking area 5 upward, so that the top rectangular tubes are at the same level as the push plate 11. The above action is repeated so that the top rectangular tubes are pushed to the conveying device 3 one by one. This process is repeated until all the rectangular tubes have been automatically layered and sorted. The automatic layered and sorted feeding method of this embodiment replaces the traditional manual layered feeding and sorting method, greatly reducing labor intensity, improving efficiency, and adapting to the automatic sorting and feeding of large batches of rectangular tubes. The lifting device is not shown in the attached drawings, but it can be any structure that can control the up and down movement.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment, the pushing device 1 is provided in two sets. The two sets of forward and backward moving mechanisms 15 are respectively installed on the left and right sides of the frame 4. One end of each of the two pushing rods 12 is connected to the two sets of pushing rod connecting frames 13, and the other end extends to the rear side of the stacking area 5 in opposite directions. When pushing rectangular tubes, the two sets of pushing devices 1 work synchronously, so that the rectangular tubes can be pushed forward smoothly, avoiding the problem of the rectangular tubes tilting during the pushing process.

[0018] Specifically, the height adjustment mechanism 14 can be a worm gear screw jack or a screw jack slider jack, etc., with lifting and adjustment functions. In this embodiment, the height adjustment mechanism 14 is a manual lifting and adjustment structure. The height adjustment mechanism 14 includes an adjustment handwheel 141, an input rod 142, a worm gear, a screw 143, and a housing 144. One end of the input rod 142 is connected to the adjustment handwheel 141, and the worm gear is sleeved and connected from the other end of the input rod 142. The worm gear is located inside the housing 144, and the screw 143 passes through the housing 144 and meshes with the worm gear. The top end of the screw 143 is rotatably connected to the push rod connecting frame 13. When it is necessary to adjust the height of the push rod 12, the adjustment handwheel 141 can be rotated to make the input rod 142 drive the worm gear to rotate, thereby driving the screw 143 to rotate and rise. The screw 143 drives the push rod connecting frame 13 to rise and fall. Of course, in specific implementations, the height adjustment mechanism 14 can also be an electric lifting and adjustment structure. Specifically, the drive mechanism 16 includes a drive motor 161 and a reducer 162. The drive motor 161 is connected to the input shaft of the reducer 162, and the output shaft of the reducer 162 is connected to the forward and backward moving mechanism 15. The forward and backward moving mechanism 15 can be a chain moving mechanism, a belt moving mechanism, or a gear and rack moving mechanism, etc. The forward and backward moving mechanism 15 includes a forward and backward moving support 151, a driving sprocket 152, a driven sprocket 153, a moving chain 154, a moving platform 155, and a guide assembly 156. The forward and backward moving support 151 is mounted on the frame. 4. The driving sprocket 152 is connected to the output shaft of the reducer 162. The driving sprocket 152 and the driven sprocket 153 are located at the front and rear ends of the front and rear movable supports 151, respectively. The driving sprocket 152 and the driven sprocket 153 are driven by a movable chain 154. The movable platform 155 is connected to the movable chain 154. The guide assembly 156 is installed on the front and rear movable supports 151, and the movable platform 155 is connected to the guide assembly 156. The guide assembly 156 can be a guide rail slider assembly, used to guide the forward and backward movement of the movable platform 155. When the drive motor 161 is working, it drives the driving sprocket 152 to rotate through the reducer 162. The driving sprocket 152 drives the chain to rotate. The movable platform 155 is connected to the upper half of the chain and moves back and forth with the upper half of the chain. Under the action of the guide assembly 156, the forward and backward movement of the movable platform 155 is more stable.

[0019] Similarly, the support frame 2, lifting device and conveying device 3 are each provided in two sets; and are distributed along the left and right directions of the frame 4 respectively, so that the rectangular tubes can be fed in a balanced manner.

[0020] Specifically, the working distance between the feeding device 1 and the lifting device can be controlled by configuring sensors or by controlling the working stroke of the drive mechanism 16 through a program, which will not be described in detail here.

[0021] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. Any technical solution that achieves the purpose of the present utility model by essentially the same means shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
