Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of forging processing equipment, and specifically relates to a forging loading device. Background Technology
[0002] Forging is a processing method that applies pressure to a metal billet to cause plastic deformation in order to obtain a forging with certain mechanical properties, shape and size.
[0003] Forging is usually done by forging on both sides. After one side is forged to the appropriate deformation, the forging needs to be flipped. For some small and light forgings, manual hand-held pliers are usually used for forging, which is not only convenient for forging but also makes it easy to control the forging situation in time and to flip the edges in time, with less physical exertion. However, for some large and heavy metal forgings, manual flipping is necessary due to the lack of flipping tools, resulting in low efficiency in forging processing.
[0004] Existing patent (CN113680948B) discloses a forging loader, including a support base, two frames fixed on the top of the support base, the same rotating shaft rotatably connected to the two frames, a servo motor fixed on the top of the support base, the output shaft of the servo motor being connected to the rotating shaft via a transmission chain, a forging transfer structure slidably connected on the top of the support base, a clamping and flipping structure fixed on the rotating shaft, and a support transfer structure fixed at the bottom of the support base.
[0005] The clamping and flipping mechanism in the above scheme uses a telescopic rod to clamp the forging, and then manually rotates the adjusting wheel to press down the upper clamping plate to clamp the forging. Then, the motor drives the whole structure to rotate to complete the flipping of the forging. The above scheme requires manual operation to clamp the forging, which is cumbersome and prone to insufficient clamping force, causing the forging to slip when flipping. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a forging loading device to solve the technical problems of requiring manual clamping of forgings, which is cumbersome and prone to insufficient clamping force, causing the forgings to slip when flipped.
[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned technical objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:
[0008] A forging loading device includes a support base with a support platform on it. The support platform has a mounting groove, and a first telescopic mechanism is vertically mounted within the mounting groove. A support plate is mounted on the moving end of the first telescopic mechanism. Support frames are fixedly mounted on both sides of the support base, and a rotating shaft is installed between the two support frames. A drive motor is mounted on the support base, and the output shaft of the drive motor is connected to the rotating shaft. Two second telescopic mechanisms are symmetrically mounted on the rotating shaft, and the second telescopic mechanisms are hinged to the rotating shaft. A clamping arm is hinged to the moving end of each second telescopic mechanism. A mounting bracket is fixedly installed on the moving shaft. The clamping arm is rotatably connected to the mounting bracket. An L-shaped frame is fixedly installed at the free end of the clamping arm. A through groove is opened horizontally on the L-shaped frame. A T-shaped rod is slidably installed on the L-shaped frame within the through groove. A first spring is sleeved on the T-shaped rod. An inclined block is fixedly installed at the end of the T-shaped rod near the support platform. A sliding groove is opened above the T-shaped rod on the L-shaped frame. A slider is slidably installed on the L-shaped frame within the sliding groove. An inclined plate that rests against the inclined block is fixedly connected to the slider. A clamping plate is fixedly installed on the inclined plate. A second spring is fixedly connected between the slider and the L-shaped frame through the through groove.
[0009] Furthermore, both the first telescopic mechanism and the second telescopic mechanism employ cylinders.
[0010] Furthermore, the mounting groove is a stepped groove, and the support plate engages with the upper end of the stepped groove. This structural design, by incorporating the stepped groove, allows the first telescopic mechanism to disengage from the support plate during forging processing. The support plate is then supported by the limiting groove, preventing the first telescopic mechanism from being subjected to the impact force during forging, thereby improving the service life of the first telescopic mechanism.
[0011] Furthermore, the movable end of the first telescopic mechanism is fixedly mounted with a guide rail, and the support plate is slidably mounted on the guide rail. This structural design, by setting the guide rail, allows the support plate to slide along the guide rail, and when the first telescopic mechanism extends, the guide rail can engage with the support plate.
[0012] Further specifying, a limiting seat is fixedly connected to the end of the support platform away from the support plate. A connecting plate is slidably mounted on the limiting seat above the support plate. A slot is formed on the support plate, and a locking block is formed above the slot on the connecting plate. A lateral translation mechanism is mounted on the support platform, and the moving end of the lateral translation mechanism is drivenly connected to the connecting plate. With this structural design, when the forging is flipped, the lateral translation mechanism moves the support plate to below the forging. After the forging is placed, the lateral translation mechanism moves the support plate back to its original position, realizing the in-situ flipping of the forging without requiring the operator to change the processing position.
[0013] Further specifying, the lateral translation mechanism includes a first gear, a first rod, and a second gear. The first gear is mounted on a rotating shaft, the first rod is rotatably mounted on one of the support frames, the second gear is mounted on one end of the first rod and meshes with the first gear, and a first pulley is mounted on the other end of the first rod. A mounting cavity is formed below the connecting plate on the support platform. A second rod is rotatably mounted on the support platform within the mounting cavity. A second pulley is mounted on the outside of the second rod on the support platform. A first belt is wound between the first pulley and the second pulley. A third gear is mounted on the second rod within the mounting cavity. An L-shaped rod is mounted on the connecting plate within the mounting cavity, and a rack that meshes with the third gear is fixedly connected to the L-shaped rod. This structural design, through the first gear, second gear, first pulley, second pulley, third gear, and rack, allows the rotating shaft to move the support plate via the rack when clamping and rotating, receiving the forging. After the rotating shaft resets, the forging moves to its original position, eliminating the need for the operator to change the processing position.
[0014] Furthermore, the rotating shaft is provided with a clearance groove. This structural design prevents interference between the forging and the rotating shaft during movement.
[0015] Furthermore, the output end of the drive motor is equipped with a third pulley, and a fourth pulley is mounted above the third pulley on the rotating shaft. A second belt is wound between the third and fourth pulleys. With this structural design, by setting the third and fourth pulleys, the drive motor, during operation, is driven by the second belt to complete the rotation of the rotating shaft.
[0016] The invention employing the above technical solution has the following advantages:
[0017] 1. Through the cooperation of the first telescopic mechanism, the second telescopic mechanism, the rotating shaft and the clamping arm, when the forging needs to be flipped, the first telescopic mechanism lifts the support plate, the second telescopic mechanism causes the clamping arm to press against the forging, the forging squeezes the inclined block, the T-shaped rod moves outward, and due to the elasticity of the second spring, the inclined plate drives the clamping plate to move downward along the inclined block, thereby clamping the forging. There is no need for manual clamping of the forging, which ensures the stability of the forging clamping.
[0018] 2. By setting a stepped groove, when processing forgings, the first telescopic mechanism is disengaged from the support plate, and the support plate is supported by the limiting groove, so that the first telescopic mechanism will not be subjected to the impact force during forging, thereby improving the service life of the first telescopic mechanism.
[0019] 3. Through the first gear, second gear, first pulley, second pulley, third gear and rack, when the rotating shaft completes clamping and flipping, it drives the support plate to move to receive the forging. After the rotating shaft resets, the forging moves to its original position, without the operator needing to change the processing position. Attached Figure Description

[0030] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that similar or identical parts are referred to by the same reference numerals in the drawings or description. Implementations not shown or described in the drawings are forms known to those skilled in the art. In addition, directional terms mentioned in the embodiments, such as "up," "down," "top," "bottom," "left," "right," "front," and "back," are only for reference to the directions in the drawings and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0031] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a forging loading device of the present invention includes a support base 1, a support platform 11 on the support base 1, an installation groove on the support platform 11, a first telescopic mechanism 12 vertically mounted in the installation groove on the support platform 11, a support plate 13 mounted on the moving end of the first telescopic mechanism 12, support frames 14 fixedly mounted on both sides of the support base 1, a rotating shaft 2 installed between the two support frames 14, a drive motor 3 mounted on the support base 1, the output shaft of the drive motor 3 being connected to the rotating shaft 2, two second telescopic mechanisms 4 symmetrically mounted on the rotating shaft 2, the second telescopic mechanisms 4 being hinged to the rotating shaft 2, a clamping arm 41 hinged to the moving end of the second telescopic mechanism 4, and a fixed mounting plate 13 on the rotating shaft 2. The system is equipped with a mounting bracket 21, and a clamping arm 41 is rotatably connected to the mounting bracket 21. An L-shaped frame 42 is fixedly mounted on the free end of the clamping arm 41. A through groove is horizontally opened on the L-shaped frame 42, and a T-shaped rod 43 is slidably mounted on the L-shaped frame 42 within the through groove. A first spring 44 is sleeved on the T-shaped rod 43. A wedge block 45 is fixedly mounted on the end of the T-shaped rod 43 near the support platform 11. A sliding groove is opened above the T-shaped rod 43 on the L-shaped frame 42, and a slider 46 is slidably mounted on the L-shaped frame 42 within the sliding groove. An inclined plate 47 is fixedly connected to the slider 46 and rests against the inclined block 45. A clamping plate 48 is fixedly mounted on the inclined plate 47. A second spring 49 is fixedly connected between the through groove and the slider 46 and the L-shaped frame 42.
[0032] Both the first telescopic mechanism 12 and the second telescopic mechanism 4 use cylinders.
[0033] The mounting groove is a stepped groove 15, and the support plate 13 is engaged with the upper end of the stepped groove 15. By setting the stepped groove 15, when processing forgings, the first telescopic mechanism 12 disengages from the support plate 13, and the support plate 13 is supported by the limiting groove, so that the first telescopic mechanism 12 will not be subjected to the impact force during forging, thereby improving the service life of the first telescopic mechanism 12.
[0034] The movable end of the first telescopic mechanism 12 is fixedly mounted with a guide rail 16, and the support plate 13 is slidably mounted on the guide rail 16. By setting the guide rail 16, the support plate 13 can slide along the guide rail 16, and when the first telescopic mechanism 12 extends, the guide rail 16 can engage with the support plate 13.
[0035] like Figure 2 and 3 As shown, a limiting seat 5 is fixedly connected to the end of the support platform 11 away from the support plate 13. A connecting plate 51 is slidably mounted on the limiting seat 5 above the support plate 13. A slot is provided on the support plate 13, and a locking block 52 is provided on the connecting plate 51 above the slot. A transverse translation mechanism is installed on the support platform 1, and the moving end of the transverse translation mechanism is connected to the connecting plate 51 through a transmission connection. When the forging is flipped, the transverse translation mechanism drives the support plate 13 to move to the bottom of the forging. After the forging is placed, the transverse translation mechanism drives the support plate to reset, realizing the in-situ flipping of the forging without requiring the operator to change the processing position.
[0036] The lateral translation mechanism includes a first gear 31, a first rod 32, and a second gear 33. The first gear 31 is mounted on the rotating shaft 2. The first rod 32 is rotatably mounted on one of the support frames 14. The second gear 33 is mounted on one end of the first rod 32 and meshes with the first gear 31. A first pulley 34 is mounted on the other end of the first rod 32. The support platform 11 has an installation cavity below the connecting plate 51. The second rod 35 is rotatably mounted in the installation cavity of the support platform 11. A second pulley 36 is mounted on the outside of the second rod 35 of the support platform 11. A first belt is wound between the first pulley 34 and the second pulley 36. A third gear 37 is mounted in the installation cavity of the second rod 35. An L-shaped rod 53 is mounted in the installation cavity of the connecting plate 51. A rack 54 that meshes with the third gear 37 is fixedly connected to the L-shaped rod 53. The first gear 31, the second gear 33, the first pulley 34, the second pulley 36, the third gear 37, and the rack 54 enable the rotating shaft 2 to move the support plate 13 via the rack 54 when it completes clamping and flipping, so as to receive the forging. After the rotating shaft 2 is reset, the forging moves to its original position without the operator having to change the processing position.
[0037] A clearance groove 22 is provided on the rotating shaft 2 to prevent interference between the forging and the rotating shaft 2 during movement.
[0038] A third pulley 38 is mounted on the output end of the drive motor 3, and a fourth pulley 39 is mounted on the rotating shaft 2 above the third pulley 38. A second belt is wound between the third pulley 38 and the fourth pulley 39. By setting the third pulley 38 and the fourth pulley 39, the drive motor 3 is driven by the second belt during operation, thereby completing the rotation of the rotating shaft 2.
[0039] The usage method and principle of this embodiment are as follows:
[0040] During forging, the clamping arm 41 is located at the right end of the support platform 11, that is, above the connecting plate 51, and the guide rail 16 is detached from the support plate 13 and supported by the stepped groove 15.
[0041] When flipping is required, the drive motor 3 drives the third pulley 38 to rotate forward. The third pulley 38 drives the rotating shaft 2 to rotate through the fourth pulley, so that the rotating shaft drives the clamping arm 41 to rotate to the left end of the support platform 11. The first telescopic mechanism 12 lifts the guide rail 16, and the guide rail 16 engages with the support plate 13 until the upper end face of the support platform 11 and the inner end face of the L-shaped frame 42 are on the same horizontal plane. At this time, the slot on the support plate 13 engages with the locking block 52.
[0042] The second telescopic mechanism 4 on both sides extends, causing the clamping arm 41 to press inward, the forging presses the inclined block 45, and the T-shaped rod 43 moves outward. Due to the elasticity of the second spring 49, the inclined plate 47 moves downward along the inclined block 45, causing the clamping plate 48 to move downward, thereby clamping the forging.
[0043] After clamping the forging, the drive motor 3 reverses, causing the clamping arm 41 to rotate the forging to the right end of the support platform 11. While rotating, the forging is driven by the first gear 31, the second gear 33, the first pulley 34, the second pulley 36, the third gear 37 and the rack 54 in sequence. This causes the L-shaped rod 53 to move the connecting plate 51 and the support plate 13 to the right, so that the support plate 13 moves to the bottom of the rotated forging. The second telescopic rod extends, releasing the forging, and the forging is placed on top of the support plate 13. At this time, the drive motor 3 rotates forward again, so that the forging and the support plate 13 are reset. The first telescopic mechanism 12 descends, so that the support plate 13 and the forging move to the top of the support platform 11, completing the in-situ rotation of the forging.
[0044] After the support plate 13 and the connecting plate 51 are separated, the drive motor 3 reverses, so that the clamping arm 41 is located at the right end of the support table 11, and the forging can continue to be processed.

The specific embodiments are provided only to help understand the method and core ideas of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications to the present invention without departing from its principles, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
