Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of copper processing, and in particular to a copper transfer device and a copper processing line. Background Technology

[0002] A copper processing line uses multiple copper processing devices to continuously roll, cut, surface treat, and shape copper materials, ultimately producing strip-shaped copper products. The transfer of copper materials from one processing device to another is typically achieved using conveyor belts. For example, after the copper strip is heated and shaped, it needs to be cooled and transported to subsequent welding and coiling processes. Due to the relatively long length of the copper strip, multiple high-speed transport lines are needed to transport it to downstream processes at high speed to improve production line efficiency. However, in existing technologies, if high-speed transport lines are used to transport the copper strip, several high-speed transport lines need to be connected to ensure transport efficiency, and the drive motor needs to transmit power to the transport line through a gearbox. This results in a large number of copper material transport lines required and low transport efficiency. Especially when the copper material is water-cooled, the water tank requires a long horizontal distance, and combined with the horizontal distance of the copper material transport lines themselves, the space required for transporting the copper material during the cooling process is increased. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to propose a copper material transfer device, which uses two moving seats to move towards each other and uses a transfer clamping column provided on the moving seats to clamp the copper material passing by. The copper material is transferred from one station to another under the rotation of the transfer clamping column.

[0004] This utility model also proposes a copper processing line, which is equipped with the aforementioned copper transfer device.

[0005] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

The fixed end of the rotation driver is connected to the movable base, and the output end of the rotation driver is connected to the transfer clamp, which is used to drive the transfer clamp to rotate. The transfer clamps of the two movable bases rotate in opposite directions. When the two movable bases move towards each other, the transfer clamps of the two move closer together and form a clamp, which is used to transport the copper material.

[0010] Optimally, it may also include: a motion drive mechanism;

[0011] The mobile drive mechanism includes: a driving wheel, a driven wheel, a connecting belt, and a mobile motor;

The connecting belt extends along the moving direction of the movable seat, and the movable seat is connected to the connecting belt. The output end of the moving motor is connected to the driving wheel to drive the driving wheel to rotate. The connecting belt drives the movable seat to move on the base.

[0013] Alternatively, the driving wheel and the driven wheel can both divide the same connecting belt into an upper belt and a lower belt, with one of the movable seats connected to the upper belt and the other movable seat connected to the lower belt, and the connecting belt driving the two movable seats to move towards each other or away from each other.

[0014] Optimally, the driving wheel and the driven wheel are gears, and the connecting belt is a toothed chain; the connecting belt meshes with the driving wheel and the driven wheel respectively.

[0015] Alternatively, the movable seat may be provided with casters that contact the base or the ground, and the casters support the movable seat.

[0017] The connecting belt drives the drive block to move, which in turn drives the limit frame to move and moves the movable seat.

[0018] Alternatively, the base may be provided with a positioning frame in the middle, and the movable seats may be located to the left and right of the positioning frame respectively; when the movable seats move to abut against the positioning frame, the positioning frame restricts the movable seats from continuing to move towards each other.

[0019] Alternatively, the transfer clamp may be provided with a rubber pad, which is fitted onto the outer surface of the transfer clamp.

[0020] A copper processing line includes: processing equipment and the aforementioned copper transfer device;

[0021] Multiple processing devices are arranged in sequence, and the copper material transfer device is set between two adjacent processing devices to output the copper material from one processing device to the other processing device through the clamp.

[0022] Optimally, some of the processing equipment is a cooling device, which has multiple cooling channels arranged in sequence, and the copper material transfer device is located at one end of some of the cooling channels.

[0038] like Figure 1-5 A copper material transfer device includes: a base 1, a movable base 2, and a rotating mechanism 3;

[0039] A pair of movable seats 2 are repositionably and movably disposed on the base 1;

[0040] The rotating mechanism 3 includes: a transfer clamping column 31 and a rotating driver 32;

[0041] The transfer clamping column 31 is vertically arranged and rotatably connected to the movable seat 2. The fixed end of the rotation driver 32 is connected to the movable seat 2, and the output end of the rotation driver 32 is connected to the transfer clamping column 31 for driving the transfer clamping column 31 to rotate. The transfer clamping columns 31 of the two movable seats 2 rotate in opposite directions. When the two movable seats 2 move towards each other, the transfer clamping columns 31 of the two move closer together, and the transfer clamping columns 31 of the two form a clamping opening 30, which is used to transport the copper material.

[0042] This solution provides a copper material transfer device, which uses two moving seats 2 to move towards each other and uses transfer clamping columns 31 provided on the moving seats 2 to clamp the copper material passing by. The copper material is transferred from one station to another under the rotation of the transfer clamping columns 31, which solves the problems of low conveying efficiency and large space occupation of the copper material conveying line in the existing copper processing line.

[0043] Specifically, a pair of movable seats 2 are provided on the base 1, and the movable seats 2 can move towards each other on the base 1; the two movable seats 2 can move closer together or further apart; each movable seat 2 is provided with a rotating mechanism 3, and the rotating mechanism 3 is provided with a vertically arranged transfer clamp 31, which can be in an upright state or in a slightly inclined state; the transfer clamp 31 is rotatably connected to the movable seat 2; a rotating driver 32 is provided on the movable seat 2, and the output end of the rotating driver 32 is directly or indirectly connected to the transfer clamp 31 to drive the transfer clamp 31 to rotate; in the initial state, there is a certain gap between the movable seats 2; one side of the gap corresponds to a processing device, and the other side corresponds to another processing device; when the copper material is transferred from one processing device to another processing device... The copper material passes between the two moving seats 2. At this time, the rotary driver 32 can be activated, which drives the transfer clamping column 31 to rotate. The transfer clamping column 31 rotates relative to the moving seat 2. At the same time, the transfer clamping columns 31 of the two moving seats 2 rotate in opposite directions, that is, one transfer clamping column 31 rotates clockwise and the other transfer clamping column 31 rotates counterclockwise. While the transfer clamping column 31 is in a rotating state, the moving seats 2 are activated and move towards each other. The transfer clamping columns 31 of the two moving seats 2 move towards each other. When the transfer clamping columns 31 of the two moving seats 2 are close together, they form a clamping opening 30. The clamping opening 30 clamps the copper material. Since the two transfer clamping columns 31 on the clamping opening 30 rotate in different directions, the transfer clamping columns 31 of the clamping opening 30 can transfer the copper material from one processing device to another, thereby realizing the transfer of the copper material. Compared to traditional conveyor lines, the copper transfer device is only installed between two processing devices. The copper transfer in this solution does not require a large horizontal distance. Furthermore, this application mainly uses the transfer clamp 31 to clamp and pull the copper material, and the transfer of the copper material can be achieved by rotating the transfer clamp 31. Therefore, this application eliminates the need for a conveyor belt structure, and the transfer of long copper materials does not require multiple motors, thus improving the conveying efficiency.

[0044] The movable seat 2 is moved by a known method, such as manual pushing, or by using a combination of cylinders, hydraulic cylinders, gears and racks, motors and lead screws, or robotic arms, as long as the drive mechanism 3 is moved.

[0045] The rotary actuator 32 is a known mechanism with a rotational function, such as a motor or a combination of a motor and a reducer, which only needs to directly or indirectly drive the transfer clamp 31 to rotate; for example Figure 4 In the process, the rotary driver 32 is a combination of a motor, a synchronous belt, and a drive wheel. The drive wheel is connected to the conveying end of the motor and the transfer clamp 31 respectively. The synchronous belt connects the two drive wheels to rotate synchronously. When the motor is started, the transfer clamp 31 can be driven to rotate under the action of the synchronous belt.

[0046] Optimally, it also includes: a movement drive mechanism 4;

[0047] The mobile drive mechanism 4 includes: a drive wheel 41, a driven wheel 42, a connecting belt 43, and a mobile motor 44;

[0048] The driving wheel 41 and the driven wheel 42 are rotatably connected to the base 1. The connecting belt 43 connects the driving wheel 41 and the driven wheel 42 synchronously. The connecting belt 43 extends along the moving direction of the movable seat 2, and the movable seat 2 is connected to the connecting belt 43. The output end of the moving motor 44 is connected to the driving wheel 41 and is used to drive the driving wheel 41 to rotate. The connecting belt 43 drives the movable seat 2 to move on the base 1.

[0049] The connecting belt 43 connects the driving wheel 41 and the driven wheel 42 in a synchronous rotation. The driving wheel 41 and the driven wheel 42 together open the connecting belt 43, so that the length of the connecting belt 43 extends along the moving direction of the movable seat 2. When the moving motor 44 drives the driving wheel 41 to rotate, the rotation of the driving wheel 41 drives the connecting belt 43 to drive the driven wheel 42 to rotate. The connecting belt 43 rotates around the driving wheel 41 and the driven wheel 42. Since the movable seat 2 is connected to the connecting belt 43, the connecting belt 43 drives the movable seat 2 to move on the machine base 1.

[0050] This solution can use two moving drive mechanisms 4 to drive the moving seat 2 to move respectively; in an optimized embodiment, the driving wheel 41 and the driven wheel 42 divide the same connecting belt 43 into an upper belt 431 and a lower belt 432, one of the moving seats 2 is connected to the upper belt 431, and the other moving seat 2 is connected to the lower belt 432. The connecting belt 43 drives the two moving seats 2 to move towards each other or away from each other.

[0051] This solution preferably uses a single moving drive mechanism 4 to drive a pair of moving seats 2; specifically, a connecting belt 43 connects the driving wheel 41 and the driven wheel 42 to rotate synchronously, so the connecting belt 43 wraps around the upper and lower surfaces of both the driving wheel 41 and the driven wheel 42, forming an upper belt 431 on the upper surface of both and a lower belt 432 on the lower surface of both; in one embodiment, such as Figure 5When the connecting belt 43 rotates counterclockwise, the upper belt 431 and the lower belt 432 move towards the center, thus causing the movable seats 2 to move closer together. When the connecting belt 43 rotates clockwise, the upper belt 431 and the lower belt 432 move away from the center, thus causing the movable seats 2 to move in opposite directions. In this way, this solution can achieve synchronous movement of two movable seats 2 driven by a single power source, improving movement efficiency and saving on the structure of the drive source.

[0052] Alternatively, the driving wheel 41 and the driven wheel 42 are gears, and the connecting belt 43 is a toothed chain; the connecting belt 43 is engaged with the driving wheel 41 and the driven wheel 42 respectively.

[0053] The driving wheel 41 and driven wheel 42 can be replaced by known wheel structures. However, in the preferred embodiment, gears are preferred, and the connecting belt 43 is selected as a toothed chain. The meshing action of the toothed chain with the driving wheel 41 and driven wheel 42 has the advantages of high transmission efficiency and strong working reliability.

[0054] Alternatively, the movable base 2 may be provided with movable wheels 21 that contact the base 1 or the ground, and the movable wheels 21 support the movable base 2.

[0055] The movable seat 2 is equipped with a movable wheel 21. The movable wheel 21 can be set at the position in contact with the ground or at the position in contact with the movable seat 2. The base 1 or the ground can be equipped with corresponding tracks. Since the movable seat 2 is supported by the movable wheel 21, the movable wheel 21 can roll relative to the base 1 or the ground, thereby reducing the friction between the movable seat 2 and the base 1 (or the ground) and making the movement of the movable seat 2 smoother.

[0056] Optimally, the movable seat 2 is provided with a limiting frame 22, and the movable wheel 21 is mounted on the limiting frame 22; the limiting frame 22 is provided with horizontally oriented limiting holes 221 at the upper and lower positions respectively, and the upper belt 431 and the lower belt 432 pass horizontally through the limiting holes 221 respectively; the upper belt 431 is provided with driving blocks 433 on both sides of the limiting hole 221 above one of the limiting frames 22, and the lower belt 432 is provided with driving blocks 433 on both sides of the limiting hole 221 below the other limiting frame 22;

[0057] The connecting belt 43 drives the driving block 433 to move, which in turn drives the limiting frame 22 to move, and in turn drives the moving seat 2 to move.

[0058] The limiting bracket 22 is located near the connecting belt 43; the limiting bracket 22 has horizontally oriented limiting holes 221 at both the upper and lower positions, through which the upper belt 431 and lower belt 432 can pass, and the limiting holes 221 provide a clearance function for the rotation of the connecting belt 43. Figure 5The upper belt 431 has drive blocks 433 on both sides of the limiting hole 221 above one of the limiting frames 22, and the lower belt 432 has drive blocks 433 on both sides of the limiting hole 221 below one of the limiting frames 22. Thus, when drive blocks 433 are provided on both sides of the limiting hole 221, regardless of whether the connecting belt 43 rotates clockwise or counterclockwise, at least one drive block 433 will exert force on the limiting frame 22 to drive the limiting frame 22 to move. The limiting frame 22 will then drive the moving seat 2 to move, thereby realizing that a single drive source can simultaneously drive two moving seats 2 to move relative to the base 1.

[0059] Alternatively, the base 1 may be provided with a positioning frame 11 in the middle, and the movable seats 2 may be located to the left and right of the positioning frame 11 respectively; when the movable seats 2 move to abut against the positioning frame 11, the positioning frame 11 restricts the movable seats 2 from continuing to move towards each other.

[0060] This solution can provide a positioning frame 11 in the middle of the base 1. When the two move towards each other, the moving seat 2 moves to abut against the positioning frame 11, which serves as the endpoint of the moving seat 2's movement. This restricts the moving seat 2 from continuing to move towards each other and prevents the transfer clamp 31 from continuing to move towards each other and colliding, which would otherwise damage the transfer clamp 31.

[0061] Alternatively, the transfer clamp 31 may be provided with a rubber pad 311, which is sleeved on the outer surface of the transfer clamp 31.

[0062] Rubber pad 311 replaces the outer surface of transfer clamp 31 in contact with the copper material. The main material of rubber pad 311 is rubber, which possesses excellent viscoelasticity, converting vibration energy into heat energy for dissipation. This provides vibration damping and noise reduction when the moving seats 2 move towards each other to clamp the copper material with the transfer clamp 31. In particular, rubber pad 311 has a certain degree of deformability; it deforms upon contact with the copper material, improving the clamping effect. Furthermore, the rough surface of rubber pad 311 increases the friction between itself and the copper material, preventing displacement of the copper material.

[0063] A copper processing line includes: processing equipment and the aforementioned copper transfer device;

[0064] Multiple processing devices are arranged in sequence, and the copper material transfer device is set between two adjacent processing devices to output the copper material from one processing device to the other processing device through the clamp 30.

[0065] Processing equipment refers to the mechanisms in a copper processing line that provide processing or treatment for copper materials, such as cutting devices and surface treatment devices. The copper material transfer device in this solution can transfer copper materials from one workstation to another, solving the problems of low conveying efficiency and large space occupation of copper material conveying lines in copper processing lines.

[0066] Alternatively, some of the processing equipment can be a cooling device 6, which has multiple cooling channels 61 arranged in sequence, and the copper material transfer device is located at one end of some of the cooling channels 61.

[0067] Cooling channel 61 is used to inject tap water. The copper material passes through the tap water and is cooled in the tap water of cooling channel 61; alternatively, fans are installed on both sides of cooling channel 61, and the fans blow air onto the copper material, so that the air fully contacts the surface of the copper material and removes the heat from the surface of the copper material. The number of cooling channels 61 in this solution can be one or more. Cooling channel 61 does not need to be set with a conveyor line along its length, nor does it need to be set with multiple motors along the length of cooling channel 61 to achieve high-speed transportation of copper material. Instead, a copper material transfer device is set at the front end and / or rear end of cooling channel 61. The copper material is clamped by transfer clamps 31, and high-speed transportation of copper material is achieved by the rotation of transfer clamps 31.
