Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of metal processing, and more specifically, to an automated processing equipment for steel components. Background Technology

[0002] Steel components refer to composite steel structural members capable of bearing and transmitting loads, constructed from steel plates, angle steel, channel steel, I-beams, welded steel, or hot-rolled H-beams that have been cold-bent or welded and connected by connectors. Steel component systems offer comprehensive advantages such as light weight, factory manufacturing, and rapid installation. Compared to reinforced concrete structures, they possess unique advantages in terms of height, size, and lightness. Globally, especially in developed countries and regions, steel components are widely and rationally applied in the field of construction engineering.

[0003] After steel components are formed, they are mostly not put into use directly, but are piled up in open areas. As a result, when the steel components are needed, their surfaces usually produce a lot of rust due to oxidation. Therefore, when using steel components, surface treatment is required. For example, the surfaces of I-beams and H-beams are provided with grooves. Therefore, when processing these steel components, the groove depth needs to be adjusted individually. This means that when grinding the grooves of the steel components, the grinding depth of the grooves needs to be adjusted, which affects the processing efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided an automated steel component processing equipment to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automated steel component processing equipment to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0007] An automated steel component processing equipment includes a support frame fixedly connected to one side of the upper end of the base plate, a processing device for grinding steel components being provided inside the support frame, and a lifting unit for controlling the lifting and lowering of the processing device being fixedly connected to the upper end of the support frame.

[0008] Furthermore, the processing device includes a connecting plate, rollers, and a grinding wheel. The output shaft of the lifting unit is fixedly connected to the connecting plate. One side of the connecting plate is connected to the grinding wheel through a buffer mechanism. Both sides of the grinding wheel are connected to rollers through a transmission mechanism. Both ends of the connecting plate are bent downward to form a baffle for connecting the rollers.

[0009] Furthermore, each roller has a recessed tooth groove on the side near the grinding wheel for transmission, and a planetary gear set is provided in the tooth groove.

[0010] Furthermore, both sides of the grinding wheel are recessed to form a relief groove, and a rotating shaft connected to the transmission mechanism is fixedly connected in the relief groove.

[0011] Furthermore, the transmission mechanism includes a first insert rod and a second insert rod. The spherical coupling at the end of the rotating shaft away from the grinding wheel has a first insert rod. The outer wall of the first insert rod has multiple grooves. The spherical coupling on the side of the planetary gear set near the grinding wheel has a second insert rod. A plug block that mates with the groove is fixedly connected to one side of the second insert rod.

[0012] Furthermore, the buffer mechanism includes a support plate, a slider, and a piston. The support plate is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting plate. The end of the support plate away from the connecting plate is recessed to form a pressure chamber. The piston is slidably sleeved in the pressure chamber. A connecting rod is fixedly connected to one side of the piston. A slider is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod away from the piston. The slider is rotatably sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating shaft.

[0013] Furthermore, a gap is left between the roller and the grinding wheel for placing the support plate, and the gap behind the support plate is smaller than the gap between the roller and the grinding wheel.

[0014] Furthermore, a spring is fixedly connected between the end of the piston away from the slider and the pressure chamber, and an adjustment unit is provided on the side of the piston near the spring.

[0015] Furthermore, the regulating unit includes a second piston and a first through hole. A plurality of first through holes for fluid flow are provided on one side of the piston. The second piston for controlling the flow rate is slidably sleeved on the side of the first through hole near the spring. The end of the second piston away from the spring is recessed to form a circular groove. The outer wall of the second piston near the spring is provided with a second through hole that communicates with the circular groove.

[0016] Furthermore, a limiting ring is formed by the outward protrusion of the piston two away from the through hole two, and a sliding groove for fitting the limiting ring is formed by the inward concavity of the inner wall of the through hole one. The distance from the axis of the through hole two to the opening of the circular groove is greater than the length of the sliding groove.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] (1) The set buffer mechanism can push the grinding wheel to fit into the groove of the steel component, and automatically adjust the grinding depth according to the groove depth, so as to avoid different groove depths of different steel components and the need to adjust the parameters separately during processing, thereby improving the processing efficiency of steel components and increasing the practicality of processing equipment.

[0019] (2) The processing device can make the grinding wheel move forward by the roller when processing the groove of the steel component, so that the processing device can continuously process the steel component and greatly improve the processing efficiency of the processing equipment.

[0020] (3) By using piston two in the pressure chamber, the flow section of hydraulic oil can be automatically controlled by the movement direction of piston one, so as to avoid the grinding wheel from bouncing during processing. At the same time, when the groove depth increases, the grinding wheel can quickly fit into the groove. Attached Figure Description

[0030] The invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0031] Example 1:

[0032] Please see Figure 1-6 According to an embodiment of the present invention, an automated steel component processing equipment is provided, wherein a support frame 2 is fixedly connected to one side of the upper end of the base plate 1, a processing device 3 for grinding steel components is provided on the inner side of the support frame 2, and a lifting unit 4 for controlling the lifting and lowering of the processing device 3 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the support frame 2.

[0033] Through the above-described solution of the present invention, the lifting unit 4 (which can be a linear feeder or a hydraulic rod or other linearly movable device) can control the lifting of the processing device 3, allowing the processing device 3 to be close to or away from the steel component. When the processing device 3 is close to the steel component, the motor 13 (see...) Figure 2 The rotation of the roller 32 causes the roller 32 to rotate, which in turn drives the planetary gear set 8 to rotate through the tooth grooves 321 within the roller 32. This causes the sun gear within the planetary gear set 8 to rotate in the opposite direction at high speed. One side of the sun gear is connected to the grinding wheel 33 via the transmission mechanism 6. Thus, when the roller 32 rotates, it drives the grinding wheel 33 to rotate in the opposite direction at high speed. This allows the roller 32 to grind the grooves of the steel component while the steel component is being moved, resulting in better processing results. The buffer mechanism 5 pushes the grinding wheel 33 to fit tightly into the groove of the steel component, automatically adjusting the grinding depth according to the groove depth. This allows the processing equipment to automatically match the groove depth of the steel component, avoiding the need for individual parameter adjustments during processing for different steel components with varying groove depths, thereby significantly improving the processing efficiency of the steel component.

[0034] Example 2:

[0035] Please see Figure 2-3According to an embodiment of the present invention, an automated steel component processing device includes a processing device 3 comprising a connecting plate 31, rollers 32, and a grinding wheel 33. The output shaft of the lifting unit 4 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 31. One side of the connecting plate 31 is connected to the grinding wheel 33 via a buffer mechanism 5. Both sides of the grinding wheel 33 are connected to rollers 32 via transmission mechanisms 6. Both ends of the connecting plate 31 are bent downward to form a baffle 7 for connecting the rollers 32. The side of each roller 32 near the grinding wheel 33 is recessed to form a toothed groove 321 for transmission. The grinding wheel 33 is internally equipped with a planetary gear set 8. Both sides of the grinding wheel 33 are recessed to form a relief groove 331. A rotating shaft 9 connected to the transmission mechanism 6 is fixedly connected in the relief groove 331. The transmission mechanism 6 includes a first insertion rod 61 and a second insertion rod 62. The end of the rotating shaft 9 away from the grinding wheel 33 has a ball joint with the first insertion rod 61. The outer wall of the first insertion rod 61 has multiple grooves 611. The planetary gear set 8 has a ball joint with the second insertion rod 62 on the side close to the grinding wheel 33. A plug block 621 that mates with the groove 611 is fixedly connected to one side of the second insertion rod 62.

[0036] Through the above-described solution of the present invention, by using a buffer mechanism 5 to connect the grinding wheel 33 on one side of the connecting plate 31, the piston 53 can be pushed to move by the spring 11 provided in the pressure chamber 511, thereby pushing the grinding wheel 33 out and making the grinding wheel 33 fit into the groove of the steel component to process the groove. When the grinding wheel 33 is pushed out, the axis of the grinding wheel 33 and the axis of the roller 32 are not on the same straight line, thereby increasing the distance between the first insertion rod 61 and the second insertion rod 62. At this time, the insertion block 621 slides in the groove 611 but does not separate, so when the roller 32 rotates, the second insertion rod 62 can still be driven to rotate by the planetary gear set 8, thereby driving the first insertion rod 61 to rotate, thus making the grinding wheel 33 rotate, ensuring the stability of the transmission.

[0037] Example 3:

[0038] Please see Figure 3-5According to an embodiment of the present invention, an automated steel component processing equipment includes a buffer mechanism 5 comprising a support plate 51, a slider 52, and a piston 53. The support plate 51 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting plate 31. The end of the support plate 51 away from the connecting plate 31 is recessed to form a pressure chamber 511. The piston 53 is slidably sleeved in the pressure chamber 511. A connecting rod 10 is fixedly connected to one side of the piston 53. The slider 52 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod 10 away from the piston 53. The slider 52 is rotatably sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 9. A gap for placing the support plate 51 is left between the roller 32 and the grinding wheel 33, and the gap between the support plate 51 and the grinding wheel 33 is smaller than that between the roller 32 and the grinding wheel 33.

[0039] Through the above-described solution of the present invention, the pressure chamber 511 within the support plate 51 allows the spring 11 to push the piston 53 to move, thereby pushing the connecting rod 10 to move the slider 52, extending the grinding wheel 33 and fitting it against the groove of the steel component for processing. Furthermore, it can automatically adjust itself according to the groove depth of the steel component, resulting in better processing performance.

[0040] Example 4:

[0041] Please see Figure 4-5 According to an embodiment of the present invention, in an automated steel component processing device, a spring 11 is fixedly connected between the end of piston 53 away from the slider 52 and the pressure chamber 511. An adjustment unit 12 is provided on the side of piston 53 near the spring 11. The adjustment unit 12 includes piston 2 121 and through hole 122. A plurality of through holes 122 for fluid flow are opened on one side of the piston. Piston 2 121 for controlling flow rate is slidably sleeved on the side of through hole 122 near the spring 11. 1. A circular groove 1211 is formed by recessing the end away from the spring 11. A through hole 1212 is opened on the outer wall of the piston 121 near the spring 11 and communicates with the circular groove 1211. A limiting ring 1213 is formed by protruding the side of the piston 121 away from the through hole 1212. A sliding groove 1221 for fitting the limiting ring 1213 is formed by recessing the inner wall of the through hole 122. The distance from the axis of the through hole 1212 to the opening of the circular groove 1211 is greater than the length of the sliding groove 1221.

[0042] Through the above-described solution of the present invention, the spring 11 can support the piston 53. When the groove depth of the processed steel component becomes shallower, the high-speed rotating grinding wheel 33 is squeezed by the steel component and pushes the piston 53 to slide within the pressure chamber 511. The piston 53 divides the pressure chamber 511 into two regions, a and b (see reference). Figure 4When piston 53 slides into pressure chamber 511 and squeezes spring 11, it compresses the hydraulic oil in region a of pressure chamber 511, causing the hydraulic oil to enter region b through through hole 122. As the hydraulic oil flows through through hole 122, it pushes piston 121 into through hole 122, thereby reducing the cross-section of through hole 1212 and reducing the flow rate of hydraulic oil. When the grinding wheel 33 encounters a groove with a smaller groove depth, it slows down the speed at which piston 53 slides into pressure chamber 511, thus preventing the grinding wheel 33 from bouncing. When the groove depth of the steel component increases, piston 53, pushed by spring 11, compresses region b of pressure chamber 511, causing the hydraulic oil in region b to enter region a through through hole 122. At this time, the hydraulic oil pushes piston 121 out of through hole 122, preventing through hole 1212 from being blocked and affecting the flow of hydraulic oil, allowing the grinding wheel 33 to quickly fit into the groove. The sliding groove 1221 restricts the movement distance of the limiting ring 1213, preventing the piston 121 from completely entering the through hole 122. The through hole 1212 used for hydraulic oil flow will not be completely closed, and the piston 121 will also be prevented from coming out of the through hole 122, which would cause the regulating unit 12 to fail.

[0043] To facilitate understanding of the above technical solutions of the present invention, the working principle or operation method of the present invention in actual process will be described in detail below.

[0044] In practical applications, the processing device 3 is lowered to fit against the steel component by the lifting unit 4. Then, the piston 53 is moved by the spring 11 to make the grinding wheel 33 fit into the groove of the steel component. The rotation of the motor 13 causes the roller 32 to rotate. Then, the grinding wheel 33 is driven to reverse at high speed by the cooperation of the planetary gear set 8 and the transmission mechanism 6. While grinding the groove, the roller 32 drives the steel component forward, which greatly improves the processing efficiency of the steel component.

[0045] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
