Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metal metallurgical manufacturing, and in particular to a device for collecting metal materials at the sampling site of a radial forging machine. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, radial forging machines are frequently used in the production workshops of various metal metallurgical enterprises. With their advanced fully automatic and semi-automatic production modes, radial forging machines have become the main force for efficient production. With the development of the metallurgical industry, the proportion of alloy products in radial forging products continues to rise. Therefore, it is often necessary to sample and test these alloy materials. This directly leads to a significant increase in the number of product samples. The slow sampling process has gradually become a key issue restricting the overall production efficiency of the production line.
[0003] Traditional sampling procedures are extremely cumbersome, and the process is as follows:
[0004] After the radial forging material is conveyed to the hot saw position via roller conveyor, its cutting length must first be accurately measured. Then, the hot saw cutting operation is initiated, and the cut sample falls into a pre-set sample collection box below. The sampling box is then moved to the lower limit position to receive the sample. Next, the cut-off blank is printed, and the hot saw cuts off an 80mm sample piece, which falls into the sampling box. Finally, the same blank needs to be printed again, and another 20mm sample piece is cut and falls into the same box. Afterward, the hot saw performs subsequent processing on the blank, such as segmentation and tail cutting, until the sampling box is moved to the upper limit position, where operators manually handle the hot samples. However, according to feedback from on-site operators, the temperature of the red-hot sample material reaches 600-700℃, making the manual handling environment dangerous, prone to slipping, and slow. This severely impacts the subsequent production rhythm, often causing production line stoppages, requiring waiting for the sampling step to be completed before production can continue.
[0005] Furthermore, the existing sampling box, measuring 600×500×250mm, is made of 15mm thick steel plate cut and welded. Its sliding trajectory is set at a 45° angle, driven by a motor and a steel wire rope. Depending on its position, the lower limit is used to collect the sample, while the upper limit is used to remove it. However, this existing sampling box design has many drawbacks. For example, the sampling box is relatively heavy, and the lifting and replacement cycle is lengthy, posing a high risk to operators. Moreover, production and replacement times are difficult to coordinate, significantly hindering the smoothness of the production process.
[0006] In summary, there is an urgent need for a new type of collection device for sampling materials from radial forging mills, which can solve the problems of slow operation speed, high risk, and difficulty in coordinating with production / changeover time. Utility Model Content
[0007] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention, through on-site observation of mass production processes, aims to solve the problems of slow sampling material recovery speed, high labor intensity, and low work efficiency. Through redesign, it provides a sampling material collection device for radial forging mills, which can achieve fast, safe, and efficient sampling material collection, providing strong support for the continuous and stable operation of radial forging mill production lines.
[0008] The present invention relates to a collection device for sampling materials from a radial forging machine, the specific structure of which is described below:
[0009] A collection device for sampling materials from a radial forging mill, comprising a sample transport box, characterized in that:
[0010] The sample transport box is located at the rear of a fixed sliding track. A push rod is provided at the end of the sliding track, and a material picking component is provided on the side of the sliding track path.
[0011] The push rod pushes the sample transport box along the sliding track to the position of the material taking component on the side of its path. The material taking component takes in the sample transport box, puts the sample into the sample transport box and sends it back to the sliding track. The material changing box carrying the sample is pushed forward along the sliding track by the push rod to the hoisting area. The crane hoists the material changing box to the sampling and testing area.
[0012] According to the present invention, a collection device for sampling materials applied to a radial forging machine is characterized in that the sampling component includes a material changing chamber, a sample box, a sample box angle adjustment push rod, a reciprocating transport rod, a segmented transport track, and a box baffle. The material changing chamber is a hollow cuboid component. The sample box is located at the rear of the material changing chamber. The cut sample falls into the sample box from the top, and the interior of the sample box has an inclined design. A sample box angle adjustment push rod is provided on the side of the sample box body, which tilts the sample box forward or resets it backward. A reciprocating transport rod is provided at the lower part of the material changing chamber. A segmented transport track is provided at the front end of the reciprocating transport rod. The segmented transport track is horizontally and vertically connected to and coincides with the path of the sliding track. A box baffle is provided on the side of the segmented transport track.
[0013] The sample box features an internal sloping design, ensuring smooth and rapid sample retrieval into the sample transport box below, effectively preventing sample jamming and accumulation, and accelerating sample flow. Furthermore, the sample box is constructed from a new type of high-strength, high-temperature-resistant, and lightweight composite material, maintaining structural strength while reducing its weight for easier operation and maintenance, and avoiding the high-temperature environment required for manual handling in existing technologies.
[0014] According to the present invention, a sample collection device for a radial forging machine is characterized in that the sample transport box is pushed by a push rod to the position of the material collection component on the sliding track, the reciprocating transport rod moves backward, driving the segmented transport track and the sample transport box located on the track to move together into the material changing chamber, when the sample transport box moves to the bottom of the sample box, the sample box angle adjustment push rod drives the sample box to tilt, so that the sample falls into the sample transport box, the sample box angle adjustment push rod retracts to pull the sample box back to its original position, the reciprocating transport rod moves forward, and the sample transport box carrying the sample returns to the sliding track.
[0015] This is the key design feature of this invention: it employs a pull-and-convey method to quickly receive and move the sample transport box, significantly reducing material changeover time and production line downtime compared to traditional methods. The sample transport box is externally wrapped in specially made sheet metal, which is fire-resistant, heat-insulating, and possesses a certain degree of flexibility. This effectively protects operators from burns and sample splashes, while also cushioning impacts to some extent. Furthermore, operators can monitor in real time whether the sample has completely fallen into the sample transport box, ensuring precise and error-free operation.
[0016] The push rod, sample box angle adjustment push rod, and reciprocating transport rod used in this invention all adopt high-precision electric telescopic rods. These telescopic rods have advantages such as fast response, stable braking, and precise and controllable stroke. They can quickly and accurately complete various action commands according to preset programs, realizing automated and efficient operation.
[0017] According to the present invention, a sample collection device for use in radial forging machines is characterized in that 2 to 4 sample transport boxes are arranged on a sliding track. After the sample transport box at the front obtains the sample through the material taking component, the push rod pushes the last material changing box forward by one box position to continue receiving the sample. The trolley then hoists the first material changing box containing the sample to the sampling and testing area, forming a continuous sampling mode.
[0018] The following beneficial effects were achieved by using the collection device for sampling materials from a radial forging machine according to this invention:
[0019] 1. The sampling material collection device of this utility model applied to the radial forging machine has been verified by actual production. It has comprehensively solved the production bottleneck problem caused by the original sampling process, completely eliminated the safety hazards of manually handling red-hot sample materials, greatly improved the material collection and circulation speed, ensured the continuous and stable release of the radial forging machine production line capacity, and reduced the labor intensity by more than 15% compared with the traditional method. Operators no longer need to perform high-temperature material handling operations for a long time and at high intensity, which significantly improves the working environment.
[0020] 2. The sampling material collection device of this utility model applied to the radial forging machine significantly increases the sampling efficiency by 20% to 30%. Its various links are closely connected and can operate automatically, effectively reducing production line downtime and significantly increasing output per unit time.
