Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of drill rod replacement devices and relates to an automatic unhooking device for a drill rod. Background Art

[0002] The iron mouth opening machine is a key equipment in front of the blast furnace ironmaking furnace. The drill rod used for opening the iron mouth is installed on the iron mouth opening machine. However, due to the long length of the drill rod, the middle part is easy to bend obliquely downward due to gravity. Therefore, a support hook is provided in the middle position between the drill rod joint and the drill rod head of the iron mouth opening machine to support the drill rod. On the one hand, it can prevent the drill rod from bending downward, and on the other hand, it can prevent excessive swinging due to centrifugal force when rotating during the opening operation. However, the above-mentioned support hook is directly welded to the mobile frame.

[0003] At present, most steel companies use manual operation to replace drill rods. Since the support hook is fixed, the drill rod can be placed on the support hook smoothly during replacement, but it is time-consuming and laborious. As my country's industry continues to advance from traditional to intelligent manufacturing, some steel companies have put forward the demand for automatic replacement of drill rods to replace manual operation. The original fixed support hook is difficult to achieve automatic unhooking and hooking of the drill rod. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an automatic unhooking device for the drill rod to solve the problem that the drill rod cannot be automatically unhooked. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of the present application is to provide a drill rod automatic unhooking device, which realizes automatic unhooking and hooking of the drill rod.

[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0009] Optionally, the reset mechanism comprises a tension spring, one end of which is connected to the rotating arm and is located between the rotating fulcrum and the overlap surface of the rotating arm, and the other end of which is connected to a mounting seat on a side of the rotating arm away from the movable frame.

[0010] Optionally, the reset mechanism includes a torsion spring, a first rotating shaft is provided at the rotating fulcrum of the rotating arm, the torsion spring is sleeved on the first rotating shaft, one end of the torsion spring is connected to the rotating arm and is located between the rotating fulcrum and the lap surface of the rotating arm, and the other end is connected to the mounting seat on the side of the rotating arm close to the movable frame.

[0011] Optionally, the center of gravity of the support hook is located below the rotation fulcrum of the support hook and close to one side of the overlapping end of the rotating arm.

The limiting surface and the drill rod supporting surface are respectively arranged on the limiting arm and the load-bearing arm, and are located on the inner side of the V-shaped structure. A guide surface is provided on the side of the load-bearing arm away from the drill rod supporting surface. When the support hook is in a free state, the angle α between the guide surface and the vertical direction is greater than 0°.

[0013] Optionally, a first rounded portion is provided on a side of the end of the limiting arm away from the load-bearing arm.

[0014] Optionally, a second chamfer is provided on a side of the end of the hook stopper away from the limiting surface.

[0031] The support hook 9 has a limiting arm and a load-bearing arm, and the two form a V-shaped structure. The limiting surface 8 and the drill rod supporting surface 20 are respectively arranged on the limiting arm and the load-bearing arm, and are located on the inner side of the V-shaped structure.

[0035] Example 1

[0036] See also Figure 1 A drill rod automatic unhooking device comprises a mounting base 3, a supporting base 12, a rotating arm 4, a supporting hook 9 and a reset mechanism. The mounting base 3 and the supporting base 12 are respectively fixed on the left and right sides of a bottom plate 2 located at the bottom of a moving frame 1.

[0037] A second fulcrum 10 is provided at the bottom of the mounting seat 3, and a support hook 9 is rotatably connected through the second fulcrum 10. The support hook 9 is an eccentric structure, and its center of gravity is located at the lower right of the second fulcrum 10. A first rounded surface 6 is processed on one side of the upper side of the support hook 9, and a limited position surface 8 is processed on the other side of the upper side. A drill rod support surface 20 and a drill rod stopper 19 are provided on one side of the support hook 9. The drill rod support surface 20 is arc-shaped and is used to support the drill rod 18. The drill rod stopper 19 prevents the drill rod 18 from sliding out during operation. A guide surface 21 is processed on one side of the support hook 9 and is located below the drill rod support surface 20.

[0038] A first fulcrum 5 is provided on the upper part of the mounting seat 3, and a rotating arm 4 is rotatably connected through the first fulcrum 5. A hook stopper 7 is processed at the lower middle part of the rotating arm 4. An upper limiting surface 8 of the hook 9 acts on the side of the hook stopper 7. A second chamfer 17 is processed on one side of the lower part of the hook stopper 7, and a limiting groove 15 is processed at the tail of the rotating arm 4.

[0039] A support seat 12 is welded on the other side of the bottom plate 2, a guide column 13 is processed on the upper part of the support seat 12, and a boss 16 is processed on the lower part;

[0040] An elastic member 14 is installed between the rotating arm 4 and the support seat 12. The upper part of the elastic member 14 is installed on the guide column 13, and the lower part of the elastic member 14 is installed on the limiting groove 15. Under the action of the elastic member 14, one end of the rotating arm 4 acts on the boss 16 of the support seat 12.

[0041] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:

[0042] Under normal working conditions, under the action of the elastic member 14, the lower tail of the rotating arm 4 acts on the boss 16 of the support seat 12, and the limiting surface 8 on the upper part of the support hook 9 acts on the support hook stopper 7 in the middle part of the rotating arm 4. The support hook 9 cannot rotate, and the drill rod 18 is supported by the drill rod support surface 20.

[0043] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 When it is necessary to remove the drill rod 18, the drill changing device clamps the drill rod 18 and moves upward. After the drill rod 18 presses against the bottom of the rotating arm 4, it continues to move upward. The rotating arm 4 overcomes the elastic force of the elastic member 14 and rotates counterclockwise around the first fulcrum 5. The middle hook stopper 7 of the rotating arm 4 also moves upward until the limiting surface 8 on the upper part of the hook 9 is completely separated from the hook stopper 7. The hook 9 rotates clockwise around the second fulcrum 10 due to the eccentric structure and is separated from the action of the hook stopper 7. Then the drill rod 18 moves downward, and the rotating arm 4 returns to its original position under the action of the elastic member 14. The drill rod 18 continues to move downward until it is completely separated from the drill rod support surface 20 of the hook 9. Then the hook 9 returns to its natural state (the center of gravity of the hook 9 is located directly below the second fulcrum 10), and the automatic unhooking process ends.

[0044] See also Figure 4 and Figure 5 When the drill rod 18 needs to be installed, the drill changing device clamps the drill rod 18 and moves upward from the bottom of the hook 9. After the drill rod 18 presses against the guide surface 21 of the hook 9, it continues to move upward, and the hook 9 rotates counterclockwise around the second fulcrum 10. The first chamfer 6 on the upper part of the hook 9 contacts and acts on the second chamfer 17 on the hook stopper 7 of the rotating arm 4. Then the rotating arm 4 overcomes the elastic force of the elastic member 14 and rotates counterclockwise around the first fulcrum 5 until the upper part of the hook 9 passes over the hook stopper 7 of the rotating arm 4. After that, the rotating arm 4 returns to its original position under the action of the elastic member 14, and the drill rod 18 continues to move upward, and the support hook 9 continues to rotate counterclockwise around the second fulcrum 10 until the drill rod 18 passes over the drill rod stopper 19 at the end of the support hook 9. At this time, the support hook 9 immediately rotates clockwise around the second fulcrum 10 due to its eccentric structure to reset until the limit surface 8 is blocked by the support hook stopper 7 of the rotating arm 4, and then the drill rod 18 starts to move downward until it acts on the drill rod support surface 20 of the support hook 9, and the automatic hooking process ends.

[0045] Example 2

[0046] See also Figure 6Different from Example 1, a first connecting column 22 is welded on the rotating arm 4, a second connecting column 24 is welded on the mounting seat 3, a tension spring 23 is arranged between the first connecting column 22 and the second connecting column 24, one end of the tension spring 23 is installed on the first connecting column 22, and the other end is installed on the second connecting column 24.

[0047] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:

[0048] What is different from the first embodiment is that the resetting of the rotating arm 4 in the first embodiment depends on the action of the elastic member 14 , while the resetting of the rotating arm 4 in the present embodiment depends on the action of the tension spring 23 .

[0049] Embodiment 3:

[0050] See also Figure 7 Different from Example 1, a third connecting column 25 is welded on the mounting seat 3, a fourth connecting column 27 is welded on the rotating arm 4, a torsion spring 26 is sleeved on the first fulcrum 5, one end of the torsion spring 26 is mounted on the third connecting column 25, and the other end is mounted on the fourth connecting column 27.

[0051] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:

[0052] What is different from the first embodiment is that the resetting of the rotating arm 4 in the first embodiment depends on the action of the elastic member 14 , while the resetting of the rotating arm 4 in the present embodiment depends on the action of the torsion spring 26 .

[0053] The present invention can be used in the field of automatic replacement of drill rods in a blast furnace ironmaking taphole opening machine. By providing a rotatable support hook 9, the drill rod 18 can be automatically hooked or unhooked, which effectively solves the problem that the taphole opening machine cannot automatically unhook or hook the drill rod due to the original fixed support hook, which ultimately leads to the inability to automatically replace the drill rod.

[0054] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solution of the present invention can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the purpose and scope of the technical solution, which should be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
