Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of metal surface treatment, in particular to a multi-stage drive type roller changing mechanism. Background Art

[0002] After the production of steel plates is completed, they will be made into corresponding parts according to different usage requirements. However, before the steel plates are put into the production process, preparation time for processing the steel plates must be reserved. During the preparation time, the steel plates will react with moisture in the air, causing rust on the surface material of the steel plates. In order to remove the rust layer, the existing method is to remove rust by grinding equipment that brushes the surface of the steel plates. This equipment physically grinds the surface of the steel plates by installing brush rollers, which has less pollution. When this equipment grinds the steel plates, the brush rollers are in contact with the surface of the steel plates. After long-term use, the grinding effect will also decrease. Therefore, the old brush rollers need to be removed and placed on the roller changing mechanism, and then the new rollers are sent into the grinding equipment for replacement through the roller changing mechanism.

[0003] A brush roller changing mechanism designed by the applicant includes a base and a roller seat arranged on the base, and the roller seat is used to support the brush roller; a driving assembly for driving the brush roller is provided on the base, and the original driving assembly is a gear rack mechanism arranged between the base and the roller seat. The gear is driven by a motor and drives the rack to slide, so that the roller seat slides back and forth to achieve the purpose of transporting the brush roller; however, after long-term use, the teeth of such a structure are prone to wear, resulting in improper matching of the gear rack, and prone to tooth slippage and tooth breakage, which not only damages the gear rack, but also affects the efficiency of roller changing.

[0004] On this basis, the applicant made improvements to the drive assembly, replacing the gear rack mechanism and the motor with a retractable drive component. The drive component can be a retractable hydraulic cylinder, and the piston rod of the cylinder can be directly connected to the roller seat. There is no problem of tooth wear, which improves the efficiency of roller changing; however, this design structure still has shortcomings.

[0005] When the brush roller on the roller seat is transported into or out of the brush grinding equipment, the roller seat needs to slide a long distance, and the telescopic stroke of the hydraulic cylinder is limited, making it difficult to transport the brush roller into place at one time.

[0006] If a hydraulic cylinder with a larger telescopic stroke is used to push the roller seat, although the brush roller can be transported to the right position, the hydraulic cylinder with a large stroke is more expensive, occupies a larger space, and is likely to affect the layout of components on the roller changing mechanism. Summary of the Invention

[0007] In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a multi-stage drive type roller changing mechanism, by arranging an action rod driven by a telescopic drive member on the base, and arranging a plurality of protrusions spaced front and rear on the action rod, so that the plurality of protrusions can be connected with the hanging mechanism on the roller seat in turn along the front or rear side, and the roller seat is gradually sent into or out of the brush production line in multiple times; this design does not require increasing the telescopic stroke of the telescopic drive member, reduces the roller changing cost, and optimizes the spatial layout of the roller changing mechanism.

[0008] The technical solution of the present utility model is achieved as follows:

[0009] A multi-stage drive roller changing mechanism includes a base and a roller seat for supporting a brush roller. The roller seat can move forward or backward on the base along its own length. The base is also provided with a power assembly, which includes an action rod and a telescopic drive member. The telescopic drive member is connected to the action rod and can drive the action rod to extend forward or retract backward by itself. The action rod is provided with a plurality of protrusions spaced front and back. The roller seat is provided with a hanging structure, and the protrusion has a front side surface and a rear side surface that are opposite to each other.

[0010] The roller-changing mechanism has an advancing state and a retreating state. When the roller-changing mechanism is in the advancing state, the action rod retracts and the front side of the protrusion at the rearmost end position cooperates with the hanging structure. At this time, the telescopic driving member can drive the action rod to extend forward to drive the roller seat to advance forward. Then the telescopic driving member drives the action rod to retract and the front side of the next protrusion cooperates with the hanging structure, and this cycle is repeated until the roller seat advances forward to the corresponding position; when the roller-changing mechanism is in the retreating state, the action rod extends forward and the rear side of the protrusion at the frontmost end position cooperates with the hanging structure. At this time, the telescopic driving member drives the action rod to retract backward to drive the roller seat to retreat backward. Then the telescopic driving member drives the action rod to extend forward and the rear side of the next protrusion cooperates with the hanging structure, and this cycle is repeated until the roller seat retreats backward to the corresponding position.

[0011] Preferably, the hanging structure includes a base connected to the roller seat, a swinging member is rotatably connected to the base, the swinging member has a rear hook and a front hook, and the base is provided with a rear limiter and a front limiter corresponding to the positions of the rear hook and the front hook respectively;

[0012] The swing member has a rear hooking mode corresponding to the advancing state and a front hooking mode corresponding to the retreating state. When the swing member is in the rear hooking mode, the swing member rotates and causes the front hook to abut against the front limit member. At this time, the rear hook is exposed outside the base and forms a hooking fit with the front side surface of the corresponding protrusion; when the swing member switches to the front hooking mode, the swing member rotates and causes the rear hook to abut against the rear limit member. At this time, the front hook is exposed outside the base and forms a hooking fit with the rear side surface of the corresponding protrusion; by controlling the swing member to swing, the protrusion is made to form a hooking fit with the front hook or the rear hook in different directions to drive the roller seat to slide along the corresponding direction.

[0013] Preferably, when the swing member is in the rear hooking mode, the front hook abuts against the front limit member, and at this time a swinging space is formed between the rear hook and the rear limit member to allow the rear hook to rotate, so as to allow the protrusion to cross the rear hook when the action rod is retracted; when the swing member is in the front hooking mode, the rear hook abuts against the rear limit member, and at this time a swinging space is formed between the front hook and the front limit member to allow the front hook to rotate, so as to allow the protrusion to cross the front hook when the action rod is extended; the reserved rotation space can prevent the protrusion from interfering when crossing the front hook or the rear hook, so that multiple protrusions can smoothly form corresponding hooking cooperation with the front hook or the rear hook in turn.

[0014] Preferably, a conversion drive member for acting on the swinging member is provided on the base, and the conversion drive member can drive the swinging member to swing back and forth, so that the swinging member switches between the rear hooking mode and the front hooking mode; by controlling the conversion drive member, the swinging direction of the swinging member can be controlled, thereby improving the switching efficiency of the swinging member.

[0015] Preferably, the conversion drive member is a cylinder having a telescopic rod for causing the swing member to swing back and forth; the telescopic rod of the cylinder has a fast and sensitive telescopic process and a high switching efficiency.

[0016] When the front hook or rear hook rotates and swings in the corresponding swing space, the design of the elastic connection prevents the swing member from transmitting the reaction force of the swing to the telescopic rod, thereby effectively protecting the telescopic rod, achieving three goals at one stroke and being cleverly designed.

[0017] Preferably, a support is provided on the base, a bushing is rotatably connected to the swing member, a through guiding hole is formed in the bushing, the telescopic rod passes through the guiding hole and is slidably connected to the support; an elastic connection component is sleeved on the telescopic rod, the elastic connection component includes a first compression spring and a second compression spring, a boss is provided on one side of the telescopic rod close to the cylinder, the first compression spring is arranged between the boss and the bushing and provides a reset elastic force for the rear hook, and the second compression spring is arranged between the support and the bushing and provides a reset elastic force for the rear hook.

[0018] Preferably, engaging protrusions are provided on both the rear hook and the front hook, and engaging grooves are also provided on the front and rear sides of the convex block. When the rear hook or the front hook cooperates with the convex block, the engaging protrusion and the corresponding engaging groove form a snap connection; to prevent loosening when the rear hook or the front hook cooperates with the convex block.

[0019] Preferably, the telescopic driving member is a hydraulic cylinder or an electric push rod. The hydraulic cylinder or the electric push rod has a piston rod, the piston rod is connected to the action rod, and the distance of each extension or retraction of the piston rod is less than the total distance that the roller seat slides from the initial position to the corresponding position step by step; the telescopic formation of the hydraulic cylinder or the electric push rod does not have to be the same as the total stroke of the entire roller seat sliding, reducing the cost and occupied space of the telescopic driving member.

[0020] Preferably, support rails symmetrically arranged on both sides of the action rod are provided on the base, a laterally extending guide groove is formed inside the support rail, and the cross-sectional shape of the guide groove is "匚" shaped; the action rod has a plurality of mounting sections spaced front and rear, and rollers matching the guide groove are arranged on the mounting sections; the plurality of rollers roll in the guide groove and form telescopic guidance for the action rod; by the rollers rolling in the guide groove, the action rod can extend or retract stably.

[0021] Preferably, at least one adjustment section is provided among the plurality of mounting sections. A strip-shaped groove that transversely penetrates the adjustment section is provided on the adjustment section, and the strip-shaped groove extends longitudinally; a wheel shaft is transversely inserted into the strip-shaped groove, and the two ends of the wheel shaft are rotatably connected to the rollers; the outer diameter of the wheel shaft is smaller than the extension length of the strip-shaped groove, thereby forming a space for the wheel shaft to float up and down in the strip-shaped groove; an adjustment component is provided on the adjustment section, the adjustment component includes two adjustment members respectively abutting against the upper and lower ends of the wheel shaft, and the adjustment member in the corresponding adjustment section can move longitudinally and act on the wheel shaft to make the roller float longitudinally to the corresponding position to eliminate the contact gap between the roller and the top wall of the guide groove; to prevent the action rod from deflecting downward when extending beyond the outer end of the support rail.

[0022] Preferably, support blocks are connected on both sides of the adjustment section, and the strip groove passes through the support block horizontally; adjustment screw holes connected to the strip groove are provided at the upper and lower ends of the support block, and the adjustment member is an adjustment screw that is threadedly connected to the adjustment screw hole and acts on the wheel axle; the position adjustment of the roller can be completed by simply rotating the adjusting screw, and the adjustment efficiency is relatively high; and due to the self-locking effect of the threaded fit, the adjusting screw can form a stable support for the wheel axle that is adjusted into place.

[0023] Preferably, the hanging structure includes a base connected to the roller seat, and the base is connected to a hanging pin that can elastically extend and retract along the longitudinal direction;

[0024] The hook pin has a rear hooking mode and a front hooking mode. When in the rear hooking mode, the hook pin elastically extends downward from the base and forms a hooking engagement with the front side of the corresponding protrusion. When the hook pin switches to the front hooking mode, the hook pin elastically extends downward from the base and forms a hooking engagement with the rear side of the corresponding protrusion. By controlling the extension and retraction of the hook pin, the protrusion and the hook pin form a hooking engagement in different directions, driving the roller seat to slide in the corresponding direction.

[0025] Preferably, the hook pin can rotate along a vertical axis, and the bottom end of the hook pin has a guiding slope; the guiding slope can cause the hook pin to elastically retract upward when subjected to a force in the front-rear direction;

[0026] When the hitch pin is in the rear hooking mode, the guide slope faces the front side to allow the protrusion to cross the hitch pin when the actuating rod is retracted; when the hitch pin is in the rear hooking mode, the hitch pin rotates along the vertical axis and makes the guide slope face the rear side to allow the protrusion to cross the hitch pin when the actuating rod is extended.

[0027] The beneficial effects of the utility model using the above technical solution are:

[0028] On the premise that the roller changing mechanism can change rollers normally, for roller seats that need to slide for a longer stroke, it is only necessary to set a hanging structure on the roller seat and set a power assembly on the base. The power assembly includes an action rod and a telescopic drive member. The action rod is provided with a plurality of front-to-back spaced protrusions that cooperate with the hanging structure. The front and rear sides of the protrusions can form a hanging cooperation in the front or rear direction with the hanging structure; when the roller seat moves toward or retreats from the brush production line, the action rod can be extended and retracted multiple times to make the roller seat slide gradually to the corresponding position, which is equivalent to dividing the total sliding stroke of the roller seat into multiple small strokes. Without the need to replace the telescopic drive member with a large stroke, the replacement efficiency of the brush roller is guaranteed and the layout space of the roller changing mechanism is optimized.

[0029] The swing member on the hanging structure can swing back and forth, making the front hook abut against the front limiting member or making the rear hook abut against the rear limiting member, so that the front hook or the rear hook can protrude outside the base to meet the front side or the rear side of the convex block. When the front hook abuts against the front limiting member, there is a rotation space between the rear hook and the rear limiting member; when the rear hook abuts against the rear limiting member, there is a rotation space between the front hook and the front limiting member; the rotation space ensures that the convex block can straddle over the front hook or the rear hook, avoiding interference with the convex block, enabling multiple convex blocks to quickly form a hanging connection with the front hook or the rear hook, and making the roll changing process smooth and efficient.

[0030] The swing member is driven by a cylinder, and the telescopic rod of the cylinder is elastically connected to the swing member. The elastic connection not only ensures that the swing member can swing back and forth normally, but also enables the front hook or the rear hook to elastically reset after rotation and complete the hanging connection with the convex block. When the front hook or the rear hook rotates, due to the elastic connection design, the swing member will not transmit the reaction force to the telescopic rod of the cylinder, avoiding damage to the cylinder and indirectly reducing the maintenance cost of the roll changing mechanism. This design is very ingenious and achieves three goals with one action.

[0031] To make the telescopic movement of the action rod smooth, symmetrical support tracks are arranged on both sides of the action rod. A guide groove with a "C" - shaped cross - section is opened on the inner side of the support track. The action rod has multiple installation sections, and rollers that roll in the guide groove are installed on both sides of the installation sections. At least one installation section is provided with an adjustment component for adjusting the longitudinal position of the roller. This adjustment component can make the roller move longitudinally and bridge the gap between the roller and the top wall of the guide groove caused by errors, so as to ensure that the action rod remains horizontal when it extends, enabling the convex block to stably connect with the front hook or the rear hook, and further improving the efficiency of brush roll replacement.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0053] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application and the features therein can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0054] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0055] like Figure 1-18b As shown, the present invention has multiple embodiments, and the specific implementation methods are as follows:

[0056] Embodiment 1: This embodiment provides a multi-stage drive roller changing mechanism, which is used for unloading and loading rollers in a grinding and brushing production line 4 for steel plates, and includes a base 1 and a roller seat 2 for supporting brush rollers, wherein a first track plate 11 is installed on the base 1, and a second track plate 12 connected to the first track plate 11 is installed in the grinding and brushing production line 4, and rotating wheels are installed on the side of the roller seat 2, which roll on the first track plate 11 and the second track plate 12 so that the roller seat 2 can move forward or backward on the base 1 along its own length direction; the base 1 is also provided with a power assembly 3, which includes an action rod 31 and a telescopic drive member 39, which is connected to the action rod 31 and can drive the action rod 31 to extend forward or retract backward by its own telescopic movement; the action rod 31 is provided with a plurality of protrusions 32 arranged at intervals front and back; the roller seat 2 is provided with a hanging structure 5, and the protrusion 32 has a front side surface 321 and a rear side surface 322 opposite to each other;

[0057] The roller changing mechanism has an advancing state and a retreating state. The advancing state means that the roller seat 2 advances toward the inside of the grinding and brushing production line 4 to receive the old brush roller or feed in the new brush roller, and the retreating state means that the roller seat 2 drives out of the grinding and brushing production line 4. When the roller changing mechanism is in the advancing state, the action rod 31 retracts and makes the front side surface 321 of the protrusion 32 at the rearmost position cooperate with the hanging structure 5. At this time, the telescopic driving member 39 can drive the action rod 31 to extend forward to drive the roller seat 2 to advance forward. Then the telescopic driving member 39 drives the action rod 31 to retract and makes the front side surface 321 of the next protrusion 32 cooperate with the hanging structure 5. This cycle is repeated until the roller seat 2 advances to the corresponding position. Figure 1-9 As shown, when the roller changing mechanism is in the retracting state, the action rod 31 extends forward and makes the rear side surface 322 of the protrusion 32 at the front end position cooperate with the hanging structure 5. At this time, the telescopic driving member 39 drives the action rod 31 to retract backward to drive the roller seat 2 to retract backward. Then the telescopic driving member 39 drives the action rod 31 to extend forward and makes the rear side surface 322 of the next protrusion 32 cooperate with the hanging structure 5. This cycle is repeated until the roller seat 2 retracts backward to the corresponding position.

[0058] Furthermore, since the directions of the force received by the projection 32 and the hooking structure 5 are opposite when the roller seat 2 is in the advancing state and the retreating state, the hooking structure 5 has the function of switching the hooking direction. Specifically, Figure 16-17 As shown, the hanging structure 5 includes a base 51 connected to the roller base 2, and a swinging member 52 is rotatably connected to the base 51. The swinging member 52 has a rear hook 54 and a front hook 53. The intersection of the front hook 53 and the rear hook 54 has a center hole. The base 51 is provided with a rotation support shaft, which passes through the center hole so that the swinging hook 52 can rotate back and forth on the base 51; the base 51 is provided with a rear limit member 55 and a front limit member 56 corresponding to the positions of the rear hook 54 and the front hook 53 respectively;

[0059] The swing member 52 has a rear hooking mode corresponding to the advancing state and a front hooking mode corresponding to the retreating state. When the swing member 52 is in the rear hooking mode, the swing member 52 rotates and causes the front hook 53 to abut against the front limit member 56. At this time, the rear hook 54 is exposed outside the base 51 and forms a hooking fit with the front side surface 321 of the corresponding protrusion 32. At this time, after the action rod 31 extends forward, the front side surface 321 of the protrusion 32 will act forward on the rear hook 54. Since the front limit member 56 abuts against the front hook 53, the rear hook 54 will not rotate, so that the roller seat 2 can move stably. When the swing member 52 switches to the front hooking mode, the swing member 52 rotates and The rear hook 54 is abutted against the rear limit member 55. At this time, the front hook 53 is exposed outside the base 51 and forms a hooking fit with the rear side surface 322 of the corresponding protrusion 32; at this time, after the action rod 31 retracts backward, the rear side surface 322 of the protrusion 32 will act backward on the front hook 53. Since the rear limit member 55 abuts against the rear hook 54, the front hook 53 will not rotate, so that the roller seat 2 can retreat stably; by controlling the swing member 52 to swing, the protrusion 32 is hooked and matched with the front hook 53 or the rear hook 54 in different directions, so as to drive the roller seat 2 to slide in the corresponding direction. The design is sophisticated, so that the roller seat 2 can switch between the advancing state and the retreating state.

[0060] Furthermore, the protrusion 32 is to be engaged with the front hook 53 or the rear hook 54. When the protrusion 32 moves along with the actuating rod 31, the front hook 53 or the rear hook 54 is to leave corresponding space for the protrusion 32 to move. For example, when the front side surface 321 of the protrusion 32 is engaged with the rear hook 54, the protrusion 32 is to cross the rear hook 54 backward. Therefore, when the swing member 52 is in the rear hooking mode, the front hook 53 is in contact with the front limit member 56. At this time, a swing space is formed between the rear hook 54 and the rear limit member 55 to allow the rear hook 54 to rotate. To allow the protrusion 32 to cross over the rear hook 54 when the action rod 31 is retracted; when the swing member 52 is in the front hooking mode, the rear hook 54 abuts against the rear limit member 55. At this time, a swinging space is formed between the front hook 53 and the front limit member 56 to allow the front hook 53 to rotate, so as to allow the protrusion 32 to cross over the front hook 53 when the action rod 31 is extended; the reserved rotation space can prevent the protrusion 32 from interfering when crossing the front hook 53 or the rear hook 54, so that multiple protrusions 32 can form corresponding hooking cooperation with the front hook 53 or the rear hook 54 in turn.

[0061] Furthermore, a conversion drive member for acting on the swing member 52 is provided on the base 51, and the conversion drive member can drive the swing member 52 to swing back and forth, so that the swing member 52 switches between the rear hooking mode and the front hooking mode; by controlling the conversion drive member, the swinging direction of the swing member 52 can be controlled, so that the switching efficiency of the swing member 52 is improved; specifically, the conversion drive member is a cylinder 57, and the base 51 has a pipe connection 512 reserved for the air pipe at the position of the cylinder 57 to facilitate the installation of the air pipe; the cylinder 57 has a telescopic rod 571 for making the swing member 52 swing back and forth; the telescopic rod 571 of the cylinder 57 has a fast and sensitive telescopic process, and the switching efficiency is high.

[0062] Furthermore, to prevent the telescopic rod 571 from getting stuck during extension and retraction, the cylinder body of the cylinder 57 is rotatably connected to the base 51 via a rotating shaft 513. When the telescopic rod 571 is extended and retracted, the cylinder 57 can rotate to adapt to the moving direction of the telescopic rod 571.

[0063] Furthermore, the swing angles of the front hook 53 and the rear hook 54 of the swing member 52 should be within a reasonable range. If the swing angle is too large, the telescopic rod 571 must be extended, which requires a larger stroke of the cylinder 57. If the swing angle is too small, the front hook 53 or the rear hook 54 will not be able to fully retract or be exposed from the base 51. Therefore, in this embodiment, the swing angle range of the swing member 52 is 15°-25°. Within this angle range, the telescopic rod 571 can be extended and the front hook 53 and the rear hook 54 can be freely switched between being exposed from the base 51 or being rotated back to the base 51.

[0064] Furthermore, the telescopic rod 571 and the swing member 52 are elastically connected. The telescopic rod 571 is extended and retracted to form an elastic force on the swing member 52, so that the swing member 52 switches between the rear hooking mode and the front hooking mode. When the swing member 52 is in the rear hooking mode and the protrusion 32 crosses the rear hook 54, the rear hook 54 can be elastically reset, so that the front side surface 321 of the protrusion 32 forms a hooking fit with the rear hook 54; when the swing member 52 switches to the front hooking mode and the protrusion 32 crosses the front hook 53, the front hook 53 can be elastically reset, so that the rear side surface 322 of the protrusion 32 forms a hooking fit with the rear hook 54. The front hook 53 forms a hooking fit; after the telescopic rod 571 forms an elastic connection with the swinging member 52, it does not affect the driving and control effects of the swinging member 52, and can also make the front hook 53 or the rear hook 54 elastically reset after rotation, completing the hooking fit with the front side surface 321 or the rear side surface 322 of the protrusion 32; and when the front hook 53 or the rear hook 54 rotates and swings within the corresponding swinging space, the design of the elastic connection prevents the swinging member 52 from transmitting the reaction force of the swinging to the telescopic rod 571, effectively protecting the telescopic rod 571, achieving three goals in one go, and the design is ingenious.

[0065] Furthermore, the telescopic rod 571 and the swinging member 52 are elastically connected as follows: a support 511 is provided on the base 51, and a shaft sleeve 59 is rotatably connected to the swinging member 52. A through guide hole 593 is provided on the shaft sleeve 59, and the telescopic rod 571 passes through the guide hole 593 and is slidably connected to the support 511; an elastic connection component is sleeved on the telescopic rod 571, and the elastic connection component includes a first compression spring 58 and a second compression spring 58a. A boss is provided on the side of the telescopic rod 571 close to the cylinder 57. The first compression spring 58 is arranged between the boss and the shaft sleeve 59 and provides a reset elastic force for the rear hook 54. The second compression spring 58a is arranged between the support 511 and the shaft sleeve 59 And provide a reset elastic force for the rear hook 54; specifically, the boss has a first step surface 572 on the side facing the sleeve 59, and along the penetration direction of the telescopic rod 571, countersunk holes 592 concentric with the guide hole 593 are opened at both ends of the sleeve 59, and the diameter of the countersunk hole 592 is larger than the diameter of the guide hole 593, and a second step surface 591 is formed at the junction with the guide hole 593. The two ends of the first compression spring 58 are pressed between the first step surface 572 and the corresponding second step surface 591 to provide a reset elastic force for the rear hook 54, and the two ends of the second compression spring 58a are pressed between the support 511 and the corresponding second step surface 591 to provide a reset elastic force for the front hook 53.

[0066] Furthermore, in order to prevent the protrusion 32 from being easily disengaged after being engaged with the front hook 53 or the rear hook 54, thereby affecting the effect of the action rod 31 on the roller seat 2, a snap-fitting protrusion 52a is provided on the rear hook 54 and the front hook 53, and a snap-fitting groove 32a is also provided on the front side 321 and the rear side 322 of the protrusion 32. When the rear hook 54 or the front hook 53 is engaged with the protrusion 32, the snap-fitting protrusion 52a is engaged with the corresponding snap-fitting groove 32a, thereby preventing the rear hook 54 or the front hook 53 from loosening when engaged with the protrusion 32.

[0067] Furthermore, the telescopic drive member 39 in this embodiment is a hydraulic cylinder or an electric push rod, which has a piston rod 391. A connecting seat 313 is provided on the action rod 31, and the piston rod 391 is connected to the action rod 31 through the connecting seat 313. In order to save the cost and space layout of the roller changing mechanism, the telescopic drive member 39 in this embodiment is a hydraulic cylinder or an electric push rod with a small stroke, that is, the distance that the piston rod 391 is extended or retracted each time is less than the total distance that the roller seat 2 gradually slides from the initial position to the corresponding position. Since the action rod 31 in this embodiment is repeatedly hooked and matched with the front hook 53 or the rear hook 54 through multiple protrusions 32, the roller seat 2 gradually slides to the corresponding position in multiple times, which is equivalent to dividing the sliding stroke of the entire roller seat 2 into multiple small strokes. Therefore, the telescopic formation of the hydraulic cylinder or electric push rod does not have to be the same as the total sliding stroke of the entire roller seat 2, thereby reducing the cost and occupied space of the telescopic drive member 39.

[0068] Furthermore, due to the harsh working environment inside the grinding and brushing production line 4, the linear guide mechanism with high precision and high cost is not applicable to the action rod 31. Considering the cost and the roll-changing stability of the roll-changing mechanism, in this embodiment, support rails 36 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the action rod 31 are provided on the base 1. A laterally extending guide groove 361 is formed inside the support rail 36, and the cross-sectional shape of the guide groove 361 is "匚"-shaped; the support rail 36 is usually a channel steel with high structural strength and reasonable cost. The action rod 31 has a plurality of installation segments 33 spaced front and rear. The installation segment 33 refers to the length segment on the action rod 31 for installing the roller 34. A roller 34 matching the guide groove 361 is provided on the installation segment 33; the plurality of rollers 34 roll in the guide groove 361 and form telescopic guidance for the action rod 31; by rolling the rollers 34 in the guide groove 361, the action rod 31 can be stably extended or retracted.

[0069] Furthermore, the support rail 36 needs to provide stable support for the telescopic movement of the action rod 31. However, considering the use cost and the spatial layout of the roll-changing mechanism, the support rail 36 cannot be too long. Therefore, in this embodiment, the ratio of the length of the support rail 36 to the length of the action rod 31 ranges from 1:1 to 10:7. That is to say, the support rail 36 can be slightly longer than the length of the action rod 31, which can not only ensure the stable telescopic movement of the action rod 31 but also optimize the use cost and spatial layout of the roll-changing mechanism.

[0070] Furthermore, as Figure 15a shown, in an ideal state, the outer diameter of the roller 34 matches the width of the guide groove 361. However, due to manufacturing errors and installation errors, it is difficult for the outer diameter of the roller 34 to exactly match the guide groove 361. If the outer diameter of the roller 34 is too large, it cannot freely roll in the guide groove 34, affecting the smoothness of the telescopic movement of the action rod 31. Therefore, when the action rod 31 is not extended, there will be a gap s between the roller 34 in the guide groove 361 and the top wall of the guide groove 361. Due to the existence of this gap s, when the action rod 31 extends, it will exceed the end of the support rail 36. The extended part will deflect downward under its own gravity, making it difficult for the action rod 31 to maintain a horizontal state. If the deflection angle is too large, it will not only affect the smoothness of the retraction of the action rod 31 but may also cause the bump 32 on the action rod 31 to fail to engage with the front hook 53 or the rear hook 54, affecting the roll-changing efficiency; therefore, to avoid this phenomenon, as Figure 15bThe cam 35 is provided with a plurality of grooves 311 extending longitudinally therethrough, and a wheel axle 35 is provided in the groove 311 so as to extend the cam 35 upwards and downwards.

[0071] Further, if Figure 10-13 As shown, the adjustment member is arranged as follows: support blocks 37 are connected to both sides of the adjustment section 33a, and the strip groove 311 passes through the support block 37 horizontally; the upper and lower ends of the support block 37 are provided with adjustment screw holes 371 connected to the strip groove 311, and the adjustment member is an adjustment screw 38 that is threadedly connected to the adjustment screw hole 371 and acts on the wheel shaft 35; the position adjustment of the roller 34 can be completed by simply rotating the adjustment screw 38, and the adjustment efficiency is high; specifically, when adjusting, first rotate the adjustment screw 38 at the upper end of the wheel shaft 35 The adjusting screw 38 is then turned to separate it from the wheel axle 35. The adjusting screw 38 at the lower end of the wheel axle 35 is then rotated to press the wheel axle 35 and the roller 34 to move upward until the roller 34 contacts the top wall of the guide groove 361. Finally, the screw 38 at the upper end of the wheel axle 35 is rotated again to act on the wheel axle 35 again. The upper and lower ends of the wheel axle 35 that has been adjusted into place are again held in place by the two adjusting screws 38. Due to the self-locking effect of the threaded fit, the two adjusting screws 38 can form a stable support for the wheel axle 35 that has been adjusted into place.

[0072] Furthermore, in this embodiment, not all axles 35 of the rollers 34 can float up and down. Specifically, the mounting section 33 includes an adjusting section 33a with a strip groove 311 and a non-adjusting section without a strip groove 311. The non-adjusting section also uses an axle 35 to provide rotational support for the roller 34. The difference is that a circular hole 312 is provided on the non-adjusting section that runs through the non-adjusting section horizontally and is used to pass the axle 35. The aperture of the circular hole 312 matches the outer diameter of the axle 35. Therefore, the roller 34 installed on the non-adjusting section cannot float up and down. After the action rod 31 is extended, an upper contact point is formed between the adjusting section 33a and the top wall of the guide groove 361, and a lower contact point is formed between the roller 34 at the non-adjusting section position and the bottom wall of the guide groove 361. In order to ensure the telescopic stability of the action rod 31, the ratio of the number of adjusting sections 33a to the number of non-adjusting sections is 1:1, so that the number of upper contact points is the same as the number of lower contact points, making the action rod 31 more stable when telescoping.

[0073] Furthermore, in order to prevent the action rod 31 from shifting laterally when it is extended or retracted, and to make the retraction process smoother, an anti-lateral displacement structure is provided on the support rail 36 and some rollers 34. For example, a guide wheel 315 that can rotate along a vertical axis is provided in each guide groove 361, and the outer peripheral surfaces of the two guide wheels 315 are respectively against the left and right sides of the action rod 31 to form a further retraction guide for the action rod 31; for example, two rollers 34 rotatably connected to the two ends of the wheel axle 35 form a roller group on the corresponding mounting section 33; wherein in at least one roller group on the action rod 31, the inner sides of the two rollers 34 are provided with a wheel edge 314 protruding from the outer peripheral edge of the roller 34, and the wheel edge 314 is attached to the inner side of the corresponding support rail 36 to prevent the action rod 31 from shifting laterally when it is extended or retracted.

[0074] Example 2: Figure 14 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and the above embodiment is that the two leveling screws 28 in this embodiment are not arranged on the support block 37, but are directly arranged on the action rod 31. Specifically, the upper and lower ends of the action rod 31 are provided with adjusting screw holes 371, and the wheel axle 35 is connected to the outside world through the adjusting screw holes 371; the two adjusting screws 38 are screwed into the corresponding adjusting screw holes 371, and act on the upper and lower ends of the wheel axle 35 respectively. Rotating the leveling screws 38 can also achieve the same adjustment effect as in the above embodiment.

[0075] Furthermore, rollers 34 are installed on both sides of the action rod 31. Therefore, it is difficult to provide sufficient force for the axle 35 by relying solely on the two adjusting screws 38 acting on the upper and lower axles 35. Therefore, in this embodiment, multiple adjusting screw holes 371 spaced left and right are provided at the upper and lower ends of the adjusting section 33a. Multiple adjusting screws 38 are inserted into the corresponding adjusting screw holes 371 to form multiple adjustment support points on the axle 35, so that the axle 35 on the adjusting section 33a can better provide rotational support for the roller 34.

[0076] Example 3: Figures 18a-18b As shown, the difference between this embodiment and the above embodiment is that the hanging structure 5 includes a base 51 connected to the roller seat 2. The difference is that in this embodiment, a hanging pin 5a that can elastically extend and retract in the longitudinal direction is connected to the base 51; specifically, a shell that allows the hanging pin 5a to extend and retract in the longitudinal direction is provided on the base 51, and an annular protrusion is specifically provided in the middle part of the hanging pin 5a. A spring 5c ​​is provided between the upper end of the annular protrusion and the top of the shell, and a spring 5c ​​is also provided between the lower end of the annular protrusion and the bottom of the shell, so that the hanging pin 5a can elastically extend and retract in the longitudinal direction;

[0077] The hooking pin 5a has a rear hooking mode and a front hooking mode. When the hooking pin 5a is in the rear hooking mode, the hooking pin 5a elastically extends downward from the base 51 and forms a hooking fit with the front side surface 321 of the corresponding protrusion 32; when the hooking pin 5a switches to the front hooking mode, the hooking pin 5a elastically extends downward from the base 51 and forms a hooking fit with the rear side surface 322 of the corresponding protrusion 32; by controlling the extension and retraction of the hooking pin 5a, the protrusion 32 and the hooking pin 5a form hooking fits in different directions, thereby driving the roller seat 2 to slide along the corresponding direction.

[0078] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the hook pin 5a is rotatable along a vertical axis, and a guide slope 5b is formed at the bottom end of the hook pin 5a. The guide slope 5a can cause the hook pin 5a to elastically retract upward when subjected to a force in the forward and backward directions, thereby providing a structural basis for the protrusion 32 to straddle the hook pin 5a.

[0079] When the hook pin 5a is in the rear hooking mode, the guide bevel 5b faces the front side to allow the protrusion 32 to cross the hook pin 5a when the action rod 31 is retracted. The side without the guide bevel 5b can form a hooking fit with the front side surface 321 of the protrusion 32 to pull the roller seat 2 forward. When the hook pin 5a is in the rear hooking mode, the hook pin 5a can be rotated along the vertical axis under the action of external force and make the guide bevel 5b face the rear side to allow the protrusion 32 to cross the hook pin 5a when the action rod 31 is extended; the side without the guide bevel 5b can form a hooking fit with the rear side surface 322 of the protrusion 32 to pull the roller seat 2 back backward.

[0080] The above is a schematic description of the present invention and its embodiments, which is not restrictive. The drawings show only one embodiment of the present invention, and the actual structure is not limited thereto. Therefore, if a person skilled in the art is inspired by this and, without departing from the inventive purpose of the present invention, designs a structure and embodiment similar to the technical solution without inventiveness, they shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
