[0002] With the continuous improvement of the production automation level of metallurgical enterprises and the demand for output, the coil output rhythm of various hot rolling and cold rolling production lines has become faster and faster. The original steel coil transportation system using fast chain + walking beam cannot meet the gradually accelerated coil output rhythm and is gradually being eliminated.

[0003] In the prior art, the steel coil transportation system of the fast chain + walking beam is usually converted into a pallet transportation system or a pallet truck steel coil transportation system. The transportation system after the conversion adopts a double-row arrangement or an up-and-down arrangement. However, for a small space, the double-row arrangement is difficult to implement, and the up-and-down arrangement has a complex structure and is not easy to maintain. Summary of the invention

[0047] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, a coil conveying system for a coiling area is proposed, and the coil conveying system for the coiling area includes: a track 10, a shuttle car 40 and a car storage device 30. The track 10 is arranged between the coiling area and the unloading area. There are at least two shuttle cars 40, and each shuttle car 40 is movably arranged on the track 10. The car storage device is arranged on the track 10, and at least two storage spaces are provided on the car storage device. Each storage space can be alternately connected to the track 10 so that the shuttle car 40 leaves or enters the track 10 through the storage space.

[0048] According to the conveying system of the coiling area of ​​the steel coil 50 of the present invention, the unloading area and the coiling area are arranged at intervals, the track 10 is arranged between the unloading area and the coiling area, and the shuttle 40 reciprocates on the track 10, so as to transport the steel coil 50 in the coiling area to the unloading area, so as to transport the steel coil 50. Specifically, the storage device 30 is arranged on the track 10, and a plurality of storage spaces are arranged on the storage device 30, each of which can store a shuttle 40, and the storage device 30 can move relative to the track 10, so that any one of the storage spaces is connected to the track 10, so that the shuttle 40 enters or leaves the storage space.

[0049] When the transportation system of the coiling area of ​​the steel coil 50 is working (the number of shuttles 40 is two and the number of parking spaces is two for explanation), the first shuttle 40 is located in the coiling area, the second shuttle 40 is located in the second parking space of the parking device 30, the first parking space of the parking device 30 is connected to the track 10, the steel coil 50 in the coiling area is placed on the first shuttle 40, the first shuttle 40 travels along the track 10 to the unloading area for unloading, and when the first shuttle 40 passes the first parking space, the parking device 30 is started, so that the first parking space is separated from the track 10. The second parking space is connected to the track 10, and the second shuttle car 40 leaves the second parking space and travels to the coiling area to receive the materials. At this time, after the first shuttle car 40 has finished unloading, the first shuttle car 40 travels in the opposite direction to the second parking space, and the parking device 30 is started, so that the first parking space is connected to the track 10 again, and the second shuttle car 40 carrying the steel coil 50 travels along the track 10 to the unloading area to unload the materials. By switching the parking device 30, the first shuttle car 40 and the second shuttle car 40 alternately receive and unload the materials, thereby effectively improving the production efficiency.

[0050] The transport system of the coiling area of ​​the steel coil 50 has a simple structure and can be effectively applied to the transformation of the steel coil 50 transport system of the fast chain + walking beam in a narrow space, thereby effectively improving the transport efficiency of the steel coil 50.

[0051] In addition, continuous transportation of the steel coil 50 can be achieved through one track 10, thereby effectively reducing the renovation cost of the steel coil 50 transportation system of the fast chain + walking beam, and at the same time, shortening the renovation period and ensuring stable and efficient production.

[0052] It is further understood that the track 10 includes a first conveying section 12 and a second conveying section 11, the first conveying section 12 is arranged between the car storage device 30 and the coiling area, and the second conveying section 11 is arranged between the car storage device 30 and the unloading area. Specifically, the first conveying section 12 connects the car storage device 30 and the coiling area, and the second conveying section 11 connects the car storage device 30 and the unloading area. By providing the first conveying section 12 and the second conveying section 11, the car storage device 30 can be effectively connected to the track 10, thereby effectively ensuring the storage of the shuttle car 40 by the car storage device 30 and the passage of the shuttle car 40, so that the transportation efficiency of the steel coil 50 is effectively improved.

[0053] Furthermore, the parking device 30 includes a platform 31 and a driving mechanism 32. Each parking space is arranged on the platform 31 at intervals.

Specifically, each parking space is arranged on the platform 31, and the driving mechanism 32 is connected to the platform 31 in a transmission manner. After the driving mechanism 32 is started, the driving mechanism 32 can drive the platform 31 to move relative to the track 10, so that each parking space on the platform 31 is switched, so that the shuttle vehicle 40 enters or leaves the parking space, thereby improving the transportation efficiency of the steel coil 50 and reducing the production cost.

[0054] It should be pointed out that the power source of the driving mechanism 32 may be a motor, a hydraulic cylinder, etc., which will not be elaborated in this application.

[0055] Furthermore, the parking device 30 also includes a guide rail 33 and a first positioning device. The guide rail 33 is arranged at the parking space. One end of the guide rail 33 can be docked with the first conveying section 12, and the other end of the guide rail 33 can be docked with the second conveying section 11. The first positioning device is arranged close to the track 10, and the first positioning device is used to position the shuttle car 40 on the parking space.

In addition, the first positioning device is arranged on the track 10 and is arranged close to the parking device 30. When the shuttle vehicle 40 needs to pass through the parking space and the parking device 30, the first positioning device is not started. When the shuttle vehicle 40 needs to be stored, it is started through the first positioning device. When the shuttle vehicle 40 passes by, the first positioning device is triggered, so that the shuttle vehicle 40 performs a parking operation, and then the shuttle vehicle 40 can be accurately parked in the parking space connected to the guide rail 33, thereby effectively improving the accuracy of control. The first positioning device can be a contact switch or a photoelectric sensor, or it can be a physical structure such as a movable block. An elastic buffer is provided on the inner side of the block. The positioning device only serves to prevent excessive movement. It can be various common structures or components in the prior art.

The driving structure is started to drive the car body 41 to move along the track 10, so as to transport the steel coil 50 located on the saddle 42 from the coiling area to the unloading area, thereby ensuring the effective transportation of the steel coil 50.

[0058] In addition, the power supply device is a pickup or a supercapacitor, etc., so that the shuttle 40 can obtain electrical energy in a non-contact manner, effectively avoiding the binding of the wire harness on the shuttle 40, thereby ensuring the stability of the operation of the shuttle 40.
