[0024] Before describing the embodiments of the present invention in detail, we first describe the application environment of the present invention. The technology of the present invention is primarily applied in the field of metallurgy. The present invention is intended to address the problem that existing billet centering devices are prone to being damaged by the billet while the centering device is in operation or has not reached a safe position during opening.

[0025] Please combine Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the present invention provides a billet centering and anti-collision device, comprising:

[0026] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the conveying mechanism 1 includes a conveying drive component 101 and a transmission component 102, and the conveying drive component 101 is used to drive the transmission component 102 to transport the steel billet 5; the centering mechanism 2 is used to calibrate the position of the steel billet 5 on the conveying mechanism 1, and the centering mechanism 2 includes at least two groups of centering modules 201, and the centering module 201 includes a centering drive component 201a and a centering component 201b, and the centering drive component 201a is connected to the centering component 201b, and the drive component is used to drive the centering component 201b to move along the width direction of the conveying mechanism 1; the safety detection element 3 is arranged on one side of the conveying mechanism 1 along the width direction, and the safety detection element 3 is used to detect the safety position signal of the centering component 201b to trigger the conveying mechanism 1 to perform the transportation operation; the control module 4 is used to control the conveying mechanism 1 and the centering mechanism 2 to perform the open or closed working state.

[0027] In this embodiment, when the safety detection element 3 does not detect the signal of the centering component 201b, that is, the centering mechanism 2 is in the working state and the conveying mechanism 1 is in the stopped state, when the safety detection element 3 detects the signal of the centering component 201b, the safety detection element 3 transmits the signal to the control module 4, the control module 4 controls the centering mechanism 2 to stop and wait, and at the same time controls the conveying mechanism 1 to start working. After the conveying mechanism 1 transports for a preset time, the steel billet 5 is transported to the centering position where the centering mechanism 2 is located through the conveying mechanism 1. The control module 4 controls the conveying mechanism 1 to stop and wait, and at the same time controls the centering mechanism 2 to start the centering operation. The centering drive component 201a drives the centering component 201b to move along the width direction of the conveying mechanism 1, and the centering components 201b on the left and right sides close toward the middle, thereby adjusting the position of the proofreading steel plate on the conveying mechanism 1. When the centering mechanism 2 runs a closing and opening cycle until the safety detection element 3 has a signal, the control module 4 controls the centering mechanism 2 to stop and wait, and controls the conveying mechanism 1 to start the transportation operation. By adopting the technical solution of the present application, the steel billet 5 can be effectively prevented from hitting the centering mechanism 2, thereby avoiding damage to the centering mechanism 2, reducing the number of equipment shutdowns and equipment maintenance, and thus achieving the beneficial effect of increasing efficiency.

[0028] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the conveying mechanism 1 includes a plurality of conveying components 102 uniformly arranged along the conveying direction, and the conveying components 102 are conveying rollers.

[0029] In this embodiment, conveyor rollers are used to transport the steel billets 5. These rollers facilitate continuous transport of the billets 5 along the production line, eliminating the need for manual handling and saving time and labor costs. Furthermore, the smooth surface of the rollers reduces frictional resistance on the billets 5, improving the speed and efficiency of billet 5 transportation. The special material and design of the conveyor rollers ensure that the billets 5 are less susceptible to deformation and damage during transportation, preventing defective products during production. The roller design also ensures the stability of the billets 5, minimizing the possibility of deviation and deformation. By continuously transporting the billets 5, the conveyor roller system avoids frequent stopping and starting operations, reducing energy waste. Furthermore, the roller design and its inherent rotation also reduce frictional resistance, further reducing energy consumption. Using conveyor rollers to transport the billets 5 eliminates potential injuries associated with manual handling, improves workplace safety, and reduces the occurrence of labor accidents. The conveyor rollers automatically adjust their operation based on the size, weight, and speed of the billets 5, ensuring optimal equipment operation and minimizing the time the billets 5 spend on the production line, thereby increasing equipment utilization.

[0030] In summary, using conveyor rollers to transport the steel billet 5 can improve production efficiency, ensure product quality, reduce energy consumption, and improve personnel safety and equipment utilization.

[0031] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the conveying mechanism 1 further includes a plurality of conveying drive components 101 , the plurality of conveying drive components 101 correspond one-to-one to the plurality of transmission components 102 , and the conveying drive components 101 are motors.

[0032] In this embodiment, a motor-driven conveyor roller transmission system is employed, with each conveyor roller equipped with a motor. This allows for independent control of each conveyor roller, allowing the speed and operating mode of the conveyor rollers to be adjusted according to actual needs. This motor-driven conveyor roller transmission system allows for flexible control of the motor power and speed, avoiding unnecessary energy waste. The motor-driven conveyor roller transmission system can also utilize technologies such as frequency converters to adjust the transmission system speed according to actual needs, further reducing energy consumption. Each conveyor roller is equipped with an independent motor, making troubleshooting and maintenance much easier. If a motor or conveyor roller fails, the problem can be quickly located and repaired without shutting down the entire system. This also reduces downtime and production losses. Each conveyor roller equipped with a motor allows for more flexible placement of the conveyor rollers on the production line. The position of the conveyor rollers can be installed and adjusted according to actual needs to meet different production environments and process requirements. This motor-driven conveyor roller transmission system enables continuous transportation and efficient transfer of the steel billets 5. Furthermore, the operating speed and operating mode of the conveyor rollers can be matched to other production equipment, improving production efficiency and overall production line coordination.

[0033] In summary, the motor-driven conveyor roller transmission method can achieve beneficial effects such as precise control, energy saving, convenient maintenance, flexible layout and improved production efficiency during the transportation of the steel billet 5.

[0034] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the centering mechanism 2 includes two sets of centering modules 201 , and the two sets of centering modules 201 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the conveying mechanism 1 along the width direction.

[0035] In this embodiment, the centering mechanism 2 shown in the embodiment of the present application includes two groups of centering modules 201, and the two groups of centering modules 201 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the conveying mechanism 1 along the width direction, that is, the setting distance between the initial positions of the centering modules 201 is greater than the length of the conveying roller, thereby ensuring that when the centering mechanism 2 is in a safe position, the steel billet 5 is not easy to cause impact damage to the centering mechanism 2, thereby reducing the number of equipment shutdowns and equipment maintenance times.

[0036] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the centering drive component 201a is a hydraulic drive cylinder, and a shaft of the hydraulic drive cylinder is connected to the centering component 201b.

[0037] In this embodiment, the centering component 201b is driven by a hydraulic drive cylinder. Since the hydraulic drive system has high precision and flexibility, it can accurately control the centering position and centering force of the steel billet 5, ensuring that the steel billet 5 can be accurately centered, thereby improving the quality of the product. The hydraulic drive system can be integrated with the automation control module 4 to achieve automated control and automatic centering. By cooperating with the safety detection element 3 and the control module 4, real-time monitoring and adjustment of the centering position of the steel billet 5 can be achieved without manual intervention, thereby improving the automation level of the production line. The hydraulic drive cylinder generates low noise during operation, reducing the impact on the environment and staff. The hydraulic drive cylinder operates smoothly when driving the centering device, does not damage the surface of the steel billet 5, and protects the appearance quality of the steel billet 5.

[0038] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the centering component 201b is a right quadrangular prism.

[0039] In this embodiment, the centering component 201b is a right quadrangular prism, and the long side of the centering component 201b close to the conveying mechanism 1 is used to contact the steel billet 5, thereby increasing the contact area between the centering component 201b and the steel billet 5, thereby improving the stability of the centering process, and the other side is connected to the telescopic rod of the hydraulic drive cylinder.

[0040] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the safety detection element 3 is a proximity switch.

[0041] In this embodiment, the safety detection element 3 is a proximity switch, which can accurately detect the arrival signal of the centering component 201b, thereby avoiding false triggering of the detection element, which causes the steel billet 5 to collide with the centering mechanism 2 and cause damage.

[0042] Working principle: when the safety detection element 3 does not detect the signal of the centering component 201b, the centering mechanism 2 is in the working state and the conveying mechanism 1 is in the stopped state. When the safety detection element 3 detects the signal of the centering component 201b, the safety detection element 3 transmits the signal to the control module 4. The control module 4 controls the centering mechanism 2 to stop and wait, and controls the conveying mechanism 1 to start working. After the conveying mechanism 1 transports for a preset time, the steel billet 5 is transported to the centering position where the centering mechanism 2 is located through the conveying mechanism 1. The control module 4 controls the conveying mechanism 1 to stop and wait, and controls the centering mechanism 2 to start the centering operation. The centering drive component 201a drives the centering component 201b to move along the width direction of the conveying mechanism 1, and the centering components 201b on the left and right sides close to the middle, thereby adjusting the position of the proofreading steel plate on the conveying mechanism 1. When the centering mechanism 2 runs a closing and opening cycle until the safety detection element 3 has a signal, the control module 4 controls the centering mechanism 2 to stop and wait, and controls the conveying mechanism 1 to start the transportation operation. By adopting the technical solution of the present application, the steel billet 5 can be effectively prevented from hitting the centering mechanism 2, thereby avoiding damage to the centering mechanism 2, reducing the number of equipment shutdowns and equipment maintenance, and thus achieving the beneficial effect of increasing efficiency.

[0043] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Anyone skilled in the art may modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by one of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the spirit and technical principles disclosed herein are intended to be covered by the claims of the present invention.
