Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of metallurgical machinery technology, and in particular to a lifting and positioning machine for T-shaped guide rail steel. Background Technology

[0002] In the production of T-shaped guide rail steel in the metallurgical industry, due to the requirements of the cross-sectional shape and stacking pattern of the T-shaped guide rail steel, it is necessary to perform a stacking operation before automatic stacking. Due to incompleteness after this operation, the following problems arise during stacking:

[0003] 1) The gap between adjacent guide rails is too small or uncertain after stacking steel, making it impossible to snap the stacks in the right and wrong directions;

[0004] 2) After the positive code is completed, the fixed distance correction is not performed before the negative code, which makes it impossible to snap the positive and negative stacks together.

[0005] 3) Previously, the palletizing lifting platform was the forward and reverse palletizing area, and the functional areas were not clearly distributed. At the same time, due to the electromagnetic effect of the electromagnet, it may cause the phenomenon of "irregular steel". Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a lifting and positioning machine for T-shaped guide rail steel, which solves the problems of insufficient or uncertain gaps between adjacent guide rail steels after stacking, making it impossible to stack them in both directions, as well as the electromagnetic "irregular steel" phenomenon.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a T-shaped guide rail steel lifting and positioning machine, comprising a modular base; the modular base is a square frame structure; and a positioning device is installed on one side of the modular base.

[0008] A lifting hydraulic cylinder is installed on the combined base; a height-fixed and distance-fixed device is installed inside the combined base; the lifting hydraulic cylinder is connected to the height-fixed and distance-fixed device via a pin to drive the height-fixed and distance-fixed device to rise and fall. The T-shaped guide rail steel lifting height-fixed and distance-fixed machine is installed and used symmetrically.

[0009] Furthermore, the distance fixing device includes a distance fixing base, in which a first distance fixing hydraulic cylinder is disposed; a first distance fixing unit is horizontally slidably disposed in the distance fixing base; the free end of the first distance fixing hydraulic cylinder is connected to the first distance fixing unit for driving the first distance fixing unit to move in and out of the distance fixing base.

[0010] Furthermore, the height and distance fixing device includes a frame, within which a height fixing unit and a distance fixing unit are horizontally slidably arranged; wherein, the second distance fixing unit is arranged parallel above the height fixing unit;

[0011] A height-fixing hydraulic cylinder is installed inside the frame corresponding to the height-fixing unit, and the free end of the height-fixing hydraulic cylinder is connected to the height-fixing unit.

[0012] A second distance hydraulic cylinder is provided inside the frame corresponding to the distance unit, and the free end of the second distance hydraulic cylinder is connected to the second distance unit.

[0013] Furthermore, a limit bar is provided on the combined base corresponding to the height and distance fixing device.

[0014] Furthermore, the fixed-distance base has concave slides on both sides inside, and the fixed-distance unit is slidably disposed in the concave slides.

[0015] Furthermore, the distance-fixing unit consists of a base plate and several sets of distance-fixing bars of varying lengths installed on one side of the base plate.

[0016] Furthermore, the height-fixing unit and the distance-fixing unit are integrated and installed on a frame with an internal concave slide rail, and the height-fixing unit and the distance-fixing unit are slidably installed within the concave slide rail. The height-fixing unit contains several sets of support plates for different series of guide rail steels, and the distance-fixing unit consists of several sets of semi-circular distance-fixing bars.

[0017] Furthermore, a row of guide bearings is provided on each of the two sides of the combined base, and C-shaped guide rails are provided on the two sides of the outer side of the frame corresponding to the guide bearings. The frame is slidably connected to the row of guide bearings of the combined base via the C-shaped guide rails.

[0018] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a height and distance fixing method for a height and distance fixing machine, wherein the height and distance fixing machine is the aforementioned height and distance fixing machine for lifting T-shaped guide rail steel; the method includes the following steps:

[0019] The spacing rods in the spacing device will sequentially extend and fix the spacing of the rows of T-shaped guide rails until the palletizer completes the correct stacking.

[0020] The T-shaped guide rails are supported by the support plate in the height and distance fixing device, and the T-shaped guide rails are fixed and fixed by the distance fixing bar in the height and distance fixing device.

[0021] After the palletizer delivers the reverse-stacked T-shaped guide rails to the top of the forward-stacked T-shaped guide rails, adjust the height of the fixed height and fixed distance device according to the specifications of the T-shaped guide rails to complete the forward and reverse stacking and deliver it to the stacking and collection platform.

[0022] Return to the initial position, thus completing one single-layer palletizing process.

[0035] Please see Figure 1-5This invention relates to a T-shaped guide rail steel lifting and positioning machine for symmetrical installation and use. It includes a combined base 1, a positioning device 2, a combined roller bearing 3, a positioning and positioning device 4, a driving hydraulic cylinder 5, a correction device 6, a detection device 7, and a limit bar 8. The main body of the combined base 1 is a square frame structure. The positioning device 2 is installed on one side of the combined base 1. The positioning device 2 includes a positioning base 2.1, a hydraulic cylinder 2.2, a sensing device 2.3, and several sets of positioning units 2.4. The positioning units 2.4 are installed on the positioning base 2.1, which has an internal concave slide rail. Each positioning unit 2.4 consists of several sets of positioning bars 2.4.1 of varying lengths. The hydraulic cylinder 2.2 is connected to the positioning base 2.1 and the positioning units 2.4 at both ends via pins, driving the extension and retraction of the positioning units 2.4. The sensing device 2.3 includes a sensor switch 2.3.1 and a sensing block 2.3.2. The inductive switch 2.3.1 is fixedly installed on the distance-fixing base 2.1, and the inductive block 2.3.2 is fixedly installed on the distance-fixing unit 2.4. The combined roller bearing 3 is installed vertically on the combined base 1 for the height-fixing and distance-fixing device 4 to slide up and down. A limiting bar 8 is installed between the combined base 1 and the height-fixing and distance-fixing device 4 for the safety support and mechanical limitation of the height-fixing and distance-fixing device 4. The height-fixing and distance-fixing device 4 includes a height-fixing unit 4.1, a distance-fixing unit 4.2, a frame 4.3, a hydraulic cylinder 4.4, and a detection device 4.5. The height-fixing unit 4.1 and the distance-fixing unit 4.2 are integrated and installed on the frame 4.3, which has a concave slide rail inside. The height-fixing unit 4.1 contains several sets of support plates 4.1.1 for different series of guide rail steels, and the distance-fixing unit 4.2 is composed of several sets of semi-circular distance-fixing bars 4.2.1. The detection device 4.5 is installed on the sides of the height-fixing unit 4.1 and the distance-fixing unit 4.2 respectively. The driving hydraulic cylinder 5 is fixed on the combined base 1 and connected to the height-fixing and distance-fixing device 4 through a pin shaft to drive the height-fixing and distance-fixing device 4 to rise and fall. The correction device 6 includes a sensing plate 6.1 and a proximity switch 6.2. The sensing plate 6.1 is installed on the height-fixing and distance-fixing device 4, and the proximity switch 6.2 is installed on the combined base 1; it is used to correct the position of the height-fixing and distance-fixing device 4. The detection device 7 includes an electronic ruler 7.1 and a connecting shaft 7.2 set on the combined base 1. One end of the electronic ruler 7.1 is connected to the height-fixing and distance-fixing device 4, and the other end is connected to the connecting shaft 7.2. It is used to control the movement position of the driving hydraulic cylinder 5.

[0036] During operation, the combined follow-up lifting and positioning machine is configured and installed with positioning units and height units according to the specifications of the T-shaped guide rail steel, and the initial position height is set. The conveyor chain transports the first set of T-shaped guide rail steel, which has been initially stacked, to the adjustable stop at the end of the conveyor chain and stops. After the row of lifting platforms rises, the positioning devices 2 arranged on both sides are simultaneously activated (hydraulic cylinder 2.2 is activated). The positioning bars 2.4.1 of different lengths in the positioning unit 2.4 are inserted into the gaps between the initially stacked T-shaped guide rail steel in sequence to complete the spacing and positioning. Then the palletizer receives the first set of T-shaped guide rail steel that has been positioned and moves, while the positioning and positioning devices 4 on both sides slide to the appropriate position (according to the specifications of the T-shaped guide rail steel) driven by the hydraulic cylinder 5. The pallet 4.1.1 in the positioning and positioning device 4 extends after the hydraulic cylinder 4.4 is activated to receive the first set of T-shaped guide rail steel that has been positioned on the palletizer. Figure 5 As shown in (a), the correct positioning is now complete. Simultaneously with the completion of the second set of T-shaped guide rail spacing (repeating the first set of actions), the spacing rod 4.2.1 in the height and spacing device 4 extends after being activated by the hydraulic cylinder 4.4, as shown... Figure 5 As shown in (b), after the first set of T-shaped guide rails is aligned and fixed, and the palletizer connects and flips the second set of T-shaped guide rails to a position above the first set, the height and distance fixing device 4, driven by the hydraulic cylinder 5, slides to a suitable position (according to the specifications of the T-shaped guide rails), and the distance fixing bar 4.2.1 quickly retracts. Figure 5 As shown in (c), the palletizer lowers the second set of T-shaped guide rails to complete the forward and reverse palletizing and snapping. Figure 5 As shown in (d), the height and distance control device 4 then descends. After the successfully stacked T-shaped guide rails fall onto the stacking and collection platform, the pallet 4.1.1 retracts, as shown. Figure 5 As shown in (e), the height and distance fixing device 4 rises to the initial fixed position, thus completing one single-layer stacking.

[0037] In summary, this combined follow-up lifting and height-fixed spacing machine for T-shaped guide rail steel is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the palletizer. The spacing rods in the spacing device sequentially extend and fix the spacing of rows of T-shaped guide rail steel. After the palletizer completes the forward stacking, the tray in the height-fixed spacing device supports the completed rows of T-shaped guide rail steel. The spacing rods in the height-fixed spacing device complete the spacing correction and fixation of the T-shaped guide rail steel. After the palletizer delivers the reverse-stacked rows of T-shaped guide rail steel above the completed rows of T-shaped guide rail steel, the height of the height-fixed spacing device is adjusted according to the specifications of the T-shaped guide rail steel to complete the forward and reverse stacking and delivery to the stacking and collection platform. Then, it returns to the initial fixed position, thus completing one single-layer palletizing process. This integrated equipment meets the requirements of continuous production, improves work efficiency, and can achieve forward and reverse stacking of different series of T-shaped guide rail steel by installing different specifications of height-fixed and spacing modules.
