Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of distributing and conveying linear components, and more specifically, to a receiving platform and processing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Bridge structures, such as T-beams, require various lengths of straightened steel bars during production. In related technologies, manual labor and straightening machines are typically used to straighten the steel bars in batches, then cut them into different lengths. The steel bars of various lengths are then transported together to the next work station via a receiving platform located on one side of the straightening machine. For example, the steel bars of different lengths at the next work station can be manually sorted, and then the sorted materials of different lengths are processed accordingly.

[0003] Because the receiving platform simultaneously transports steel bars of various lengths to the next work station, it causes a chaotic accumulation of steel bars of different lengths at the next work station, which increases the sorting work before processing the different lengths and consequently increases labor costs. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The problem solved by this invention is how to effectively sort and transport materials of various lengths to reduce labor costs.

[0005] To address the above problems, the present invention provides a material receiving platform.

[0006] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a receiving platform, including a lifting device and a conveying device. The conveying device is installed on the discharge end side of a straightening machine. The conveying device has multiple conveying channels for conveying materials of different lengths respectively. The multiple conveying channels are arranged at intervals in a vertical direction. The end of the conveying channel near the straightening machine is the inlet end. The lifting device is drivenly connected to the conveying device and is used to drive the conveying device to move vertically so that the inlet end of each conveying channel corresponds to the discharge end of the straightening machine.

[0007] Optionally, the conveying device includes a connecting frame and multiple receiving and conveying assemblies. The multiple receiving and conveying assemblies are arranged at intervals in the vertical direction and installed on the connecting frame. The lifting device is driven to the connecting frame, and the receiving and conveying assemblies are provided with the conveying channels.

[0008] Optionally, the lifting device includes a lifting drive assembly and a plurality of guide rods arranged at intervals. The guide rods extend vertically, and the connecting frame is slidably connected to the guide rods. The lifting drive assembly is connected to the connecting frame and is used to drive the connecting frame to drive the plurality of material receiving and conveying assemblies to move up and down vertically on the guide rods.

[0009] Optionally, the lifting drive assembly includes a first driving device, a first driving wheel, a first driven wheel, and a first transmission component. The first driving device is mounted on the guide rod, the first driving wheel and the first driven wheel are respectively mounted at both ends of the guide rod, the first driving wheel and the first driven wheel are connected through the first transmission component, the first transmission component is connected to the connecting frame, and the first driving device is connected to the first driving wheel to drive the first driving wheel to rotate.

[0010] Optionally, the receiving and conveying assembly includes a bracket, a conveying drive assembly, a second transmission component, and a plurality of second driven wheels. The plurality of second driven wheels are spaced apart on the bracket along the extending direction of the receiving and conveying assembly. The plurality of second driven wheels are connected by the second transmission component. The second driven wheels are provided with a first groove. The first grooves of the plurality of second driven wheels form the conveying channel. The conveying drive assembly is connected to the second transmission component and is used to drive the plurality of second driven wheels to rotate through the second transmission component.

[0011] Optionally, the conveying drive assembly includes a second drive device, a second drive wheel, and a third transmission component. The second driven wheel includes a transmission wheel, a first rotating shaft, and a roller. The roller is mounted on the bracket via the first rotating shaft. The first rotating shaft passes through the end of the bracket to mount the transmission wheel. The second drive wheel and the transmission wheel are connected via the third transmission component. The second drive device is connected to the second drive wheel and is used to drive the second drive wheel to rotate.

[0012] Optionally, the receiving platform also includes multiple metering devices, each of which is installed on the corresponding receiving and conveying assembly and is used to measure the total length and quantity of the material conveyed on the corresponding receiving and conveying assembly.

[0013] Optionally, the metering device includes a pressing assembly, a metering wheel, a second rotating shaft, and an encoder. The metering wheel is positioned above the idler roller of the receiving and conveying assembly, and the material passes between the metering wheel and the idler roller. The metering wheel is mounted on the pressing assembly via the second rotating shaft, and the pressing assembly is used to press the material onto the idler roller via the metering wheel. The metering wheel is used to rotate under the action of the idler roller driving the material conveying. The encoder is mounted on the second rotating shaft and is used to measure the total length and quantity of the material based on the number of rotations of the metering wheel.

[0014] Optionally, the clamping assembly includes a clamping cylinder, a clamping arm, a third rotating shaft, a fourth rotating shaft, and a roller frame. The metering wheel is mounted on the roller frame via the second rotating shaft. The roller frame is mounted on one end of the clamping arm. The clamping arm is mounted on the bracket of the receiving and conveying assembly via the third rotating shaft. The clamping cylinder is mounted on the bracket. The clamping cylinder is rotatably connected to the other end of the clamping arm via the fourth rotating shaft, for driving the clamping arm to rotate around the third rotating shaft.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the receiving platform of the present invention are as follows: The receiving platform includes a lifting device and a conveying device, wherein multiple conveying channels of the conveying device are arranged vertically at intervals, and the multiple conveying channels are respectively used to convey materials of different lengths. When the straightening machine outputs materials cut into different lengths, such as straightened steel bars, from the discharge end, the lifting device can drive the entire conveying device to move up and down, so that the conveying channel used to convey the corresponding length of material corresponds to the discharge end of the straightening machine, that is, the inlet end of the conveying channel is at the same height as the discharge end of the straightening machine, so that the material of the corresponding length can smoothly enter the conveying channel from the discharge end of the straightening machine through the inlet end of the conveying channel, so as to pass through the conveying channel. The conveyor system automatically sorts materials of different lengths output from the straightener and, driven by the lifting device, automatically transports them to the next processing station. This replaces the manual sorting of materials of different lengths in the prior art. Instead, it automatically sorts materials of different lengths output from the straightener and transports them to the next process through each conveyor channel. This avoids the chaotic accumulation of materials of different lengths in the next process, thereby reducing the cost of manual sorting and facilitating subsequent processing of materials of different lengths.

[0016] Secondly, the present invention provides a processing device, including a straightening machine and a receiving platform as described above.

[0017] Since the processing equipment includes the aforementioned receiving platform, the processing equipment possesses at least all the technical effects of the aforementioned receiving platform, which will not be elaborated further here. Attached Figure Description

[0030] To address the problems existing in the aforementioned related technologies, this embodiment provides a material receiving platform.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present invention provides a receiving platform, including a lifting device 2 and a conveying device 3. The conveying device 3 is installed on the discharge end side of the straightening machine 1. The conveying device 3 has multiple conveying channels 311 for conveying materials of different lengths respectively. The multiple conveying channels 311 are arranged at intervals in the vertical direction. The end of the conveying channel 311 near the straightening machine 1 is the feeding end. The lifting device 2 is driven to the conveying device 3 and is used to drive the conveying device 3 to move vertically so that the feeding end of each conveying channel 311 corresponds to the discharge end of the straightening machine 1 respectively.

[0032] Specifically, the lifting end of the lifting device 2 can be connected to the conveying device 3 to drive the conveying device 3 to move vertically upwards and downwards. Figure 1 The Z-axis of the coordinate system is parallel. Figure 1 The double-headed arrows in the diagram indicate the direction of movement of the conveying device 3. The multiple conveying channels 311 of the conveying device 3 are used to convey materials of different lengths. The receiving platform, driven by the lifting device 2, aligns the corresponding conveying channels 311 in the conveying device 3 with the discharge end of the straightener 1, based on the different lengths of materials output from the straightener 1. This facilitates automatic sorting and conveying of materials of different lengths through the multiple conveying channels 311 of the conveying device 3.

[0033] The discharge end of the straightener 1 refers to the end from which the material after straightening and cutting by the straightener 1 is output, and the feed end of the conveying channel 311 refers to the end from which the material enters the conveying channel 311.

[0034] In this embodiment, the receiving platform includes a lifting device 2 and a conveying device 3. Multiple conveying channels 311 of the conveying device 3 are arranged vertically at intervals, and each conveying channel 311 is used to convey materials of different lengths. After the straightening machine 1 outputs materials cut into different lengths, such as straightened steel bars, from the discharge end, the lifting device 2 can drive the entire conveying device 3 to move up and down, so that the conveying channel 311 used to convey the corresponding length of material corresponds to the discharge end of the straightening machine 1. That is, the inlet end of the conveying channel 311 is at the same height as the discharge end of the straightening machine 1, so that materials of the corresponding length can smoothly enter the conveying channel 311 from the discharge end of the straightening machine 1 through the inlet end of the conveying channel 311. The conveying channel 311 transports materials of corresponding length to the next workstation. In other words, the multiple conveying channels 311 of the conveying device 3 can selectively correspond to the position of the discharge end of the straightener 1 according to the different lengths of materials output from the discharge end of the straightener 1, under the driving action of the lifting device 2, so as to separately receive the materials. This replaces the manual sorting operation of multiple materials of different lengths in the prior art, so as to automatically sort the materials of different lengths output from the straightener 1, and automatically transport the materials of corresponding lengths to the next process through each conveying channel 311. This avoids multiple materials of different lengths from being piled up in the next process, thereby reducing the cost of manual sorting of materials and providing convenience for subsequent processing of materials of corresponding lengths.

[0035] Optionally, combined Figure 2 As shown, the conveying device 3 includes a connecting frame 32 and a plurality of receiving and conveying components 31. The plurality of receiving and conveying components 31 are arranged at intervals in the vertical direction and installed on the connecting frame 32. The lifting device 2 is driven to connect with the connecting frame 32. The receiving and conveying components 31 are provided with the conveying channel 311.

[0036] Specifically, multiple receiving and conveying assemblies 31 are arranged vertically at intervals and installed on a connecting frame 32, so that the multiple receiving and conveying assemblies 31 are fixed into an integral structure by the connecting frame 32. Therefore, the connecting frame 32 can be a connecting plate structure. Each receiving and conveying assembly 31 has a conveying channel 311 for conveying materials of a corresponding length. The materials are components of bridge facilities, such as T-beams, that need to be straightened and cut by the straightening machine 1. The materials are not limited to steel bars, but can also be other components that need to be straightened, such as I-beams, etc., without specific limitations. The straightening machine 1 is used to straighten and cut the materials passing through it. Therefore, the straightening machine 1 can be a device with the function of straightening and cutting materials in the prior art, which will not be described in detail here.

[0037] In this optional embodiment, when the straightening machine 1 outputs straightened and cut material, such as straightened steel bars, at the discharge end, the lifting device 2 drives the connecting frame 32 to simultaneously drive multiple receiving and conveying components 31 to move vertically. Thus, according to the different lengths of material output by the straightening machine 1, under the driving action of the lifting device 2, the corresponding receiving and conveying components 31 are at the same height as the discharge end of the straightening machine 1, so that the material output from the discharge end of the straightening machine 1 can smoothly enter the conveying channel 311 through the feeding end, and be conveyed to the next station through the conveying channel 311.

[0038] Optionally, combined Figure 3 As shown, the lifting device 2 includes a lifting drive assembly 21 and a plurality of guide rods 22 arranged at intervals. The guide rods 22 extend vertically. The connecting frame 32 is slidably connected to the guide rods 22. The lifting drive assembly 21 is connected to the connecting frame 32 and is used to drive the connecting frame 32 to drive the plurality of material receiving and conveying assemblies 31 to move up and down vertically on the guide rods 22.

[0039] Specifically, multiple guide rods 22 are arranged at intervals in the horizontal direction, and each guide rod 22 extends vertically. The connecting frame 32 is slidably connected to the multiple guide rods 22, thereby providing guidance and support for the lifting and lowering movement of the connecting frame 32 to avoid tilting of the conveying device 3 during the lifting and lowering process.

[0040] The connecting frame 32 can be slidably connected to the guide rod 22 in the following ways: for example, multiple guide sleeves are provided on the connecting frame 32, and each guide sleeve is sleeved on the corresponding guide rod 22, so that the connecting frame 32 can move up and down vertically with the corresponding guide rod 22 through multiple guide sleeves, so as to further improve the stability of the lifting and lowering movement of the connecting frame 32 relative to the guide rod 22.

[0041] In this optional embodiment, during the lifting and lowering movement of the conveying device 3, the lifting end of the lifting drive assembly 21 drives the connecting frame 32 to lift and lower, so that the connecting frame 32 drives multiple receiving and conveying assemblies 31 to perform a smooth vertical lifting and lowering movement on multiple guide rods 22. By utilizing the sliding connection between the multiple guide rods 22 and the connecting frame 32, the stability of the lifting and lowering movement of the multiple receiving and conveying assemblies 31 is improved, thereby reducing the problem of unstable speed of the receiving and conveying assemblies 31 during the lifting and lowering movement, which may cause overtravel or undertravel. This ensures that the receiving and conveying assemblies 31 can be accurately positioned at the same height as the discharge end of the straightening machine 1, thereby improving the accuracy of the receiving and conveying assemblies 31 in receiving materials.

[0042] Optionally, combined Figure 3As shown, the lifting drive assembly 21 includes a first drive component 211, a first drive wheel 212, a first driven wheel 213, and a first transmission component 214. The first drive component 211 is mounted on the guide rod 22. The first drive wheel 212 and the first driven wheel 213 are respectively mounted at both ends of the guide rod 22. The first drive wheel 212 and the first driven wheel 213 are connected through the first transmission component 214. The first transmission component 214 is connected to the connecting frame 32. The first drive component 211 is connected to the first drive wheel 212 and is used to drive the first drive wheel 212 to rotate.

[0043] Specifically, the lifting drive assembly 21 can drive the connecting frame 32 to drive multiple receiving and conveying assemblies 31 to perform lifting and lowering movements through the following specific structure: the first driving device 211 can be fixedly installed at the bottom end of the guide rod 22, so as not to interfere with the lifting and lowering movement of the connecting frame 32 on the guide rod 22; the first driving wheel 212 and the first driven wheel 213 can be respectively installed at the bottom end and the top end of the guide rod 22, wherein the first transmission component 214 can be sleeved on the first driving wheel 212 and the first driven wheel 213, and the first driving device 211 can be drivenly connected to the first driving wheel 212 to drive the first transmission component 214 to rotate by driving the first driving wheel 212 to rotate; since the first transmission component 214 is fixedly connected to the connecting frame 32, and the connecting frame 32 is slidably connected to the guide rod, the rotational movement of the first transmission component 214 can be converted into the vertical lifting and lowering movement of the connecting frame 32 relative to the guide rod 22.

[0044] The first driving pulley 212, the first driven pulley 213, and the first transmission component 214 are matched in terms of transmission type. For example, if the first driving pulley 212 and the first driven pulley 213 are belt pulleys, then the first transmission component 214 is a transmission belt; if the first driving pulley 212 and the first driven pulley 213 are sprockets, then the first transmission component 214 is a transmission chain. The first driving device 211 can be a rotary motor.

[0045] In this optional embodiment, the specific working process of the lifting drive assembly 21 is as follows: the first drive device 211 works to drive the first drive wheel 212 to rotate. Since the first transmission component 214 is sleeved outside the first drive wheel 212 and the first driven wheel 213, the first drive wheel 212 drives the first transmission component 214 to rotate. Since the first transmission component 214 is fixedly connected to the connecting frame 32 and the connecting frame 32 is slidably connected to the guide rod 22, the first transmission component 214 drives the connecting frame 32 to move vertically relative to the guide rod 22.

[0046] Optionally, combined Figure 4As shown, the receiving and conveying assembly 31 includes a bracket 312, a conveying drive assembly 313, a second transmission component 314, and a plurality of second driven wheels 315. The plurality of second driven wheels 315 are spaced apart on the bracket 312 along the extending direction of the receiving and conveying assembly 31. The plurality of second driven wheels 315 are connected by transmission through the second transmission component 314. The second driven wheels 315 are provided with a first groove. The first groove of the plurality of second driven wheels 315 forms the conveying channel 311. The conveying drive assembly 313 is connected to the second transmission component 314 and is used to drive the plurality of second driven wheels 315 to rotate through the second transmission component 314.

[0047] Specifically, the extension direction of the receiving and conveying assembly 31 is... Figure 4 Since the X-axis of the coordinate system is parallel, multiple second transmission wheels 3151 are spaced apart along the X-axis on the bracket 312. A second transmission component 314 can be sleeved around the multiple second transmission wheels 3151. The conveying drive assembly 313 is connected to the second transmission component 314, so that the second transmission component 314 can be driven to rotate, thereby driving the multiple second transmission wheels 3151 to rotate synchronously. Each second driven wheel 315 has a first groove. The multiple first grooves of the multiple second driven wheels 315 arranged horizontally at intervals can form a conveying channel 311, facilitating the smooth conveying of materials within the conveying channel 311 under the action of the rotation of the multiple second transmission wheels 3151.

[0048] In addition, each receiving and conveying assembly 31 is equipped with a conveying drive assembly 313. Therefore, the material conveying operations of multiple receiving and conveying assemblies 31 do not affect each other. In other words, the receiving and conveying assembly 31 at the same height as the discharge end of the straightener 1 receives and conveys the material. At this time, other receiving and conveying assemblies 31 can not work, thereby reducing the power output of the conveying device 3 and correspondingly reducing energy consumption.

[0049] The bracket 312 provides a mounting base for the conveying drive assembly 313 and the multiple second driven wheels 315. The multiple second driven wheels 315 can rotate synchronously under the transmission action of the second transmission component 314, so that the material in the conveying channel 311 can be horizontally conveyed under the rotation action of the multiple second driven wheels 315.

[0050] The second driven wheel 315 and the second transmission component 314 are matched in terms of transmission type. For example, if the second driven wheel 315 is a sprocket, then the second transmission component 314 is a transmission chain. The vertical interface of the first groove can be a U-shaped groove or a V-shaped groove, so that the material can be stably installed in the conveying channel 311.

[0051] Optionally, combined Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the conveying drive assembly 313 includes a second drive device 3131, a second drive wheel 3132, and a third transmission component 3133. The second driven wheel 315 includes a transmission wheel 3151, a first rotating shaft 3152, and a roller 3153. The roller 3153 is mounted on the bracket 312 via the first rotating shaft 3152. The first rotating shaft 3152 passes through the end of the bracket 312 and mounts the transmission wheel 3151. The second drive wheel 3132 and the transmission wheel 3151 are connected via the third transmission component 3133. The second drive device 3131 is connected to the second drive wheel 3132 and is used to drive the second drive wheel 3132 to rotate.

[0052] Specifically, a second driven wheel 315 near the second driving device 3131 may include a first rotating shaft 3152, a roller 3153, and two drive wheels 3151. Second driven wheels 315 at other locations may include a first rotating shaft 3152, a roller 3153, and a drive wheel 3151. Therefore, among the two drive wheels 3151 of the second driven wheel 315 near the second driving device 3131, one drive wheel 3151 is connected to the second driving wheel 3132 via a third transmission component 3133, and the other drive wheel 3151 is connected to the drive wheels 3151 of the second drive wheels 3151 at other locations via a second transmission component 314. The idler roller 3153 can be mounted on the bracket 312 via the first rotating shaft 3152. The drive wheel 3151 is installed at the end of the first rotating shaft 3152 that passes through the bracket 312, so that when the drive wheel 3151 rotates, it can drive the idler roller 3153 to rotate via the first rotating shaft 3152. The idler roller 3153 has the first groove, so the material can move horizontally on the idler roller 3153.

[0053] The second driving device 3131 can be a rotary motor used to drive the second driving wheel 3132 to rotate. If the second driving wheel 3132 and the transmission wheel 3151 are pulleys, the third transmission component 3133 is a transmission belt; if the second driving wheel 3132 and the transmission wheel 3151 are sprockets, the third transmission component 3133 is a transmission chain.

[0054] In this optional embodiment, the receiving and conveying assembly 31 can convey materials in the following manner: for example, the second driving device 3131 operates to drive the second driving wheel 3132 to rotate, and the third transmission component 3133 is sleeved on a transmission wheel 3151 of the second driving wheel 3132 and the second driven wheel 315, so that the second driving wheel 3132 drives the transmission wheel 3151 to rotate via the third transmission component 3133. The transmission wheel 3151 and the idler roller 3153 are mounted on the same first rotating shaft 3152, so that the transmission wheel 3151 drives the idler roller 3153 to rotate synchronously. Since the other transmission wheel 3151 of the second driven wheel 315 is connected to the other second driven wheels 315 through the second transmission component 314, the second transmission component 314 drives the idler rollers 3153 of the other second driven wheels 315 to rotate, so that the material is horizontally conveyed on the idler rollers 3153 of all the second driven wheels 315 in the receiving and conveying assembly 31.

[0055] Optionally, combined Figure 1 As shown, the receiving platform also includes multiple metering devices 4, each of which is installed on the corresponding receiving and conveying assembly 31 and is used to measure the total length and quantity of the materials conveyed on the corresponding receiving and conveying assembly 31.

[0056] Specifically, a metering device 4 is installed on the end of the support 312 of each receiving and conveying assembly 31 away from the feed end, so that the total length and quantity of the material on the corresponding receiving and conveying assembly 31 can be measured by multiple metering devices 4. The total length and quantity of the material conveyed on the receiving and conveying assembly (31) refers to the sum of the lengths and the total quantity of all the material passing through the metering device 4 on a single receiving and conveying assembly 31 within a certain period of time.

[0057] In this optional embodiment, since a metering device 4 is installed on the support 312 of each receiving and conveying assembly 31, the metering device 4 is used to measure the total length and quantity of the materials conveyed on the receiving and conveying assembly 31. This facilitates the counting of the total length and quantity of materials of different lengths that are automatically sorted and conveyed, replacing the manual metering of materials of different lengths in the prior art, and effectively reducing labor costs.

[0058] Optionally, combined Figure 6As shown, the metering device 4 includes a pressing assembly 41, a metering wheel 42, a second rotating shaft 43, and an encoder 44. The metering wheel 42 is positioned above the idler roller 3153 of the material receiving and conveying assembly 31. The metering wheel 42 and the idler roller 3153 are used to allow the material to pass through. The metering wheel 42 is mounted on the pressing assembly 41 via the second rotating shaft 43. The pressing assembly 41 is used to press the material onto the idler roller 3153 via the metering wheel 42. The metering wheel 42 is used to rotate under the action of the idler roller 3153 driving the material conveying. The encoder 44 is mounted on the second rotating shaft 43 and is used to measure the total length and quantity of the material based on the number of rotations of the metering wheel 42.

[0059] Specifically, the clamping assembly 41 is used to press the metering wheel 42 closer to or loosen it away from the idler roller 3153. For example, when the conveyor is working to convey materials, the clamping assembly 41 presses the metering wheel 42 closer to the idler roller 3153. When the conveyor is not working and not conveying materials, the clamping assembly 41 can drive the metering wheel 42 away from the idler roller 3153. The metering wheel 42 and the idler roller 3153 are arranged vertically at intervals. When material passes between the metering wheel 42 and the idler roller 3153, the pressing component 41 presses the material, such as a straightened steel bar, close to the idler roller 3153 via the metering wheel 42. Since the idler roller 3153 rotates under the drive of the conveying drive component 313, it drives the material on the idler roller 3153 to be conveyed horizontally. At this time, the material can transmit the rotational force of the idler roller 3153 to the metering wheel 42, causing the metering wheel 42 to rotate. The metering wheel 42 and the encoder 44 can be installed on the same second rotating shaft 43. Therefore, the encoder 44 can collect the number of rotations of the metering wheel 42 in real time and measure the total length and quantity of the material based on the number of rotations. The encoder 44 can be a Hall encoder, photoelectric encoder, etc. Any encoder 44 capable of collecting the number of rotations of the metering wheel 42 is suitable for this technical solution and is not specifically limited here.

[0060] The total length and quantity of materials can be measured separately in the following ways. For example, when a single receiving conveyor assembly 31 horizontally conveys a single section of material, such as a straightened steel bar, with a length of a1, the encoder 44 can pre-measure the number of rotations of the measuring wheel 42 after a single piece of material has completely passed through it, which is n1. Then, over a period of time, the encoder 44 measures the number of rotations of the measuring wheel 42 when all the material passes through it, which is n2. Therefore, the total length of the material passing through the measuring wheel 42 during this period is a. 总 Then a 总 = (n2*a1) / n1; The total amount of material passing through the metering wheel 42 during this period is x, then x = a 总 / a1=n2 / n1.

[0061] In this optional embodiment, since the pressing assembly 41 is used to press the material onto the idler roller 3153 through the metering roller 42, the material can transmit the rotational force of the idler roller 3153 to the metering roller 42, so that the metering roller 42 rotates. Since the encoder 44 and the metering roller 42 are mounted on the same second rotating shaft 43, the encoder 44 can measure the number of rotations of the metering roller 42 in real time.

[0062] Optionally, combined Figure 6 As shown, the clamping assembly 41 includes a clamping cylinder 411, a clamping arm 412, a third rotating shaft 413, a fourth rotating shaft 414, and a roller frame 415. The metering wheel 42 is mounted on the roller frame 415 via the second rotating shaft 43. The roller frame 415 is mounted on one end of the clamping arm 412. The clamping arm 412 is mounted on the bracket 312 of the receiving and conveying assembly 31 via the third rotating shaft 413. The clamping cylinder 411 is mounted on the bracket 312. The clamping cylinder 411 is rotatably connected to the other end of the clamping arm 412 via the fourth rotating shaft 414, and is used to drive the clamping arm 412 to rotate around the third rotating shaft 413.

[0063] Specifically, the pressing assembly 41 can press the material onto the roller 3153 via the metering wheel 42 in the following ways: for example, the fixed end of the pressing cylinder 411 is mounted on the bracket 312, the telescopic end of the pressing cylinder 411 is rotatably connected to the pressing arm 412 via the fourth rotating shaft 414, the middle part of the pressing arm 412 is mounted on the bracket 312 via the third rotating shaft 413, and a roller frame 415 is mounted on the bottom of the end of the pressing arm 412 away from the pressing cylinder 411. The metering wheel 42 can be mounted on the roller frame 415 via the second rotating shaft 43.

[0064] The measuring device 4 also includes two bearings 45, namely, bearings 45 are installed at both ends where the second rotating shaft 43 is connected to the roller frame 415, thereby improving the smoothness of the rotation of the measuring wheel 42 relative to the roller frame 415 through the second rotating shaft 43.

[0065] In this optional embodiment, when the material passes between the metering wheel 42 and the idler roller 3153, the telescopic end of the pressing cylinder 411 extends to apply a thrust to the pressing arm 412, causing the pressing arm 412 to rotate around the third rotating shaft 413. At this time, the end of the pressing arm 412 away from the pressing cylinder 411 drives the roller frame 415 and the metering wheel 42 to move downward, so as to press the material onto the idler roller 3153 through the metering wheel 42. Since the idler roller 3153 rotates, it drives the material to be conveyed in a straight line, and correspondingly drives the metering wheel 42 to rotate around the second rotating shaft 43, so that the encoder 44 installed on the second rotating shaft 43 can collect the number of rotations of the metering wheel 42 in real time, and thus the total length and quantity of the material passing through in a certain period of time can be calculated based on the number of rotations of the metering wheel 42.

[0066] In addition, the clamping cylinder is equipped with a valve used to adjust the internal air pressure. This allows the clamping force exerted by the clamping cylinder on the measuring wheel via the clamping arm to be adjusted to accommodate materials of different diameters, such as straightened rebars, thus enabling metering operations on materials of varying diameters. For example, when the diameter of the material passing through the measuring wheel, such as a straightened rebar, decreases, the internal air pressure of the clamping cylinder should be reduced. Consequently, the clamping force exerted by the clamping cylinder on the straightened rebar via the clamping arm and measuring wheel should be reduced to prevent excessive pressure from the measuring wheel on the straightened rebar, which could cause the straightened rebar to bend.

[0067] The present invention provides a processing device including a straightening machine 1 and a receiving platform as described in the above embodiment.

[0068] Specifically, the conveying device 3 in the receiving platform can be installed on one side, such as the right side, of the discharge end of the straightener 1, so that the material output from the discharge end of the straightener 1 can enter the corresponding conveying channel 311 of the conveying device 3 through the feeding end, and then be horizontally conveyed to the next station through the receiving conveying assembly 31.

[0069] The processing equipment in this embodiment has the same beneficial effects as the prior art compared to the material receiving platform described above, and will not be repeated here.

[0070] While the present invention has been disclosed above, its scope of protection is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and all such changes and modifications will fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
