Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of steel plate processing and conveying, and in particular to a conveying device for steel plate processing. Background Art

[0002] Steel plate processing refers to the process of processing raw steel plates into finished products that meet specific size, shape and performance requirements through a series of processes such as cutting, forming, welding and surface treatment. This process is widely used in industries such as construction, automobiles, and machinery manufacturing, with the aim of improving product quality and production efficiency to meet the needs of different fields. The conveying device for steel plate processing is one of the indispensable equipment in modern manufacturing, designed to achieve efficient movement and transmission of steel plates. The device plays an important role in the steel plate processing process. It is not only responsible for transferring steel plates from one process to another, but also bears the responsibilities of support and guidance to ensure the stability and safety of steel plates during processing. In addition to ensuring the safety and stability of transportation, the conveying device for steel plate processing also significantly improves production efficiency. Through automated transportation, the dependence on manual handling is reduced, which not only reduces labor costs but also speeds up the pace of production.

When the steel plate is transported, the rotating roller rotates, and the steel plate needs to be placed on the rotating roller to realize the conveying operation of the steel plate by means of the friction between the rotating roller and the steel plate. When the steel plate is placed on the rotating roller, when the steel plate is bent as a whole or the surface of the rotating roller at the discharge position becomes uneven due to long-term discharge, the friction between the rotating roller and the steel plate will be smaller, so that the steel plate itself cannot be subjected to sufficient friction and the initial velocity is low, so that the rotating roller rotates and the steel plate cannot be transported normally or the steel plate may be skewed and displaced. For this reason, we propose a conveying device for steel plate processing. Summary of the invention

Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] Example

[0030] See also Figure 1-Figure 9 , a conveying device for steel plate processing shown in the figure includes a bracket 100, a plurality of rotating rollers 110 are arranged on the top of the bracket 100, and the rotating rollers 110 are made of hollow steel pipes commonly seen on the market. A driving motor 120 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the bracket 100, and the driving motor 120 uses a common model on the market. The basic working principle is to use the magnetic field generated when the current passes through the conductor to drive the rotor to rotate, and then drive the transmission belt 121 to rotate. A transmission belt 121 is arranged at the power output end of the driving motor 120, and a metal strip matched with a transmission gear 122 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the circumference of the transmission belt 121. A transmission gear 122 is arranged inside the transmission belt 121, and the transmission gear 122 is fixedly connected to the power input end of the rotating roller 110. When the driving motor 120 drives the transmission belt 121 to rotate, the transmission gear 122 can be rotated to realize the rotation of the rotating roller 110, and the outer wall of the transmission belt 121 is matched with an upper roller 123;

[0031] In some embodiments, the top roller 123 is arranged on the side wall of the bracket 100, and a support column passes through the top roller 123. At the same time, the side wall of the bracket 100 is provided with a vertical hole that cooperates with the support column to realize the upward sliding of the top roller 123 and a bolt for fixing the position with the rear side of the support column. The bolt is arranged on the inner side of the bracket 100. When the bolt is tightened, the position of the support column in the vertical hole can be locked in cooperation with the bracket 100, thereby fixing the position of the top roller 123. After the top roller 123 slides upward, the transmission belt 121 can be tightened and fit against the outer wall of the transmission gear 122 to drive the transmission gear 122 to rotate.

[0032] The top of the bracket 100 is fixedly connected with a conveying assembly 130 that matches the rotating roller 110. The side wall of the conveying assembly 130 is fixedly connected with a limit frame 131 by bolts. The limit frame 131 is used to limit the push plate 141. The side wall of the limit frame 131 is fixedly connected with a support plate 132. The bottom of the limit frame 131 is provided with a placement platform 140.

The servo motor 142 uses a common model on the market. The servo motor 142 is composed of a stator, a rotor, an encoder, a driver and a control system. The stator generates a rotating magnetic field, and the rotor rotates under its action. The encoder monitors the rotor position and transmits the feedback signal to the control system, which adjusts the motor operation state in real time, thereby realizing the forward and reverse rotation of the screw 143, prompting the push plate 141 to run to the right and reset the push plate 141. The power output end of the servo motor 142 is provided with a screw 143, and the screw 143 is provided with a push plate 141 on the top of the placement platform 140. The push plate 141 is provided with a thread that matches the screw 143. The top of the push plate 141 is fixedly connected with a rack 145. The rack 145 uses a common The rack 145 is made of stainless steel, and a tooth groove matched with the second gear 153 is provided on the top thereof, which can drive the second gear 153 to rotate when the rack 145 is displaced, and the second gear 153 rotates to make the third gear 154 rotate, and the third gear 154 rotates to make the first gear 151 rotate, so that the pressing roller 152 rotates inside the conveying assembly 130 to realize the rolling and pressing operation of the steel plate. The top of the rack 145 is matched with the second gear 153, the rear side of the second gear 153 is matched with the third gear 154, the side wall of the third gear 154 is matched with the first gear 151, and the side wall of the first gear 151 is provided with a tooth groove matched with the conveying The pressing roller 152 inside the conveying component 130 is made of a chrome-plated stainless steel roller commonly available on the market. It can press down the steel plate pushed by the push plate 141 while rotating, so that the overall flatness of the steel plate is better, and the steel plate can better avoid unevenness, so that the bottom surface of the steel plate can better contact the rotating drum 110 to realize the conveying operation of the steel plate. The side wall of the conveying component 130 is provided with a protective shell 150 that cooperates with gear one 151. The protective shell 150 is used to protect and structurally support gear one 151, gear two 153 and gear three 154.

[0033] Specifically, the top of the bracket 100 is equipped with a rotating plate 200, the rotating plate 200 is made of common hard plastic injection molding, and the side wall of the rotating plate 200 is equipped with a fixed block 202 fixed to the bracket 100, and the fixed block 202 is used to support the rotating plate 200 to rotate;

[0034] In some embodiments, a rotating shaft that cooperates with the inside of the rotating plate 200 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed block 202, and a reset torsion spring 201 is set on the top of the rotating shaft. When the rotating plate 200 is not pushed by the rack 145, the reset torsion spring 201 can be used to realize the reset of the rotating plate 200, and at the same time cooperate with the blocking of the baffle 204 to limit the position.

[0035] A return torsion spring 201 is disposed on the top of the rotating plate 200 , and a sliding groove 203 is provided on the side wall of the rotating plate 200 .

[0036] Furthermore, the side wall of the slide groove 203 is matched with a limit piece 210, and the limit piece 210 is made of wear-resistant hard plastic commonly found on the market. The side wall of the limit piece 210 is provided with a groove 211 matched with the rack 145, and a locking bolt is provided at the bottom of the limit piece 210. The position of the limit piece 210 can be adjusted by sliding the limit piece 210 in cooperation with the slide groove 203, so that the rack 145 can contact the limit piece 210, causing the rotation angle of the rotating plate 200 to change accordingly, and then the spacing between the fixed rollers 230 after the two rotating plates 200 rotate inward can be changed.

[0037] Furthermore, a sliding hole 220 is provided at the top of the rotating plate 200, and a sliding member 221 is provided at the top of the sliding hole 220. The sliding member 221 is made of a common plastic disc, and a sliding roller 222 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the plastic disc. The sliding roller 222 can rotate when the inner side of the rotating plate 200 contacts the steel plate to guide the transported steel plate. The sliding member 221 can slide with the sliding hole 220 to adjust the position of the sliding roller 222. The side wall of the rotating plate 200 is provided with a sliding roller 222 and a fixed The roller 230, the fixed roller 230 and the sliding roller 222 are made of common rubber. When the rack 145 moves to the right, it can abut against the groove 211 on the side wall of the limit member 210. At this time, the limit member 210 can be pushed by the rack 145, so that the rotating plate 200 overcomes the elasticity of the reset torsion spring 201 and rotates toward the inner side of the top of the rotating drum 110 of the bracket 100. Therefore, when the steel plate is discharged from the outlet 133, the fixed roller 230 arranged on the inner side of the rotating plate 200 can be used to guide the steel plate when it contacts the steel plate.

[0038] Furthermore, an outlet 133 is provided on the side wall of the conveying assembly 130 . The outlet 133 is matched with the top of the rotating drum 110 . The outlet 133 is in a rectangular structure, and the size of the outlet 133 is slightly larger than the size of the steel plate material.

[0039] Furthermore, the side wall of the rotating plate 200 is matched with a baffle 204 , which is a common hard plastic sheet. The baffle 204 is fixed to the side wall of the bracket 100 by bolts.

[0040] Furthermore, the side wall of the conveying component 130 is fixedly connected with a fixing plate 144 that cooperates with the rack 145 by bolts, and the screw 143 passes through the side wall of the fixing plate 144. The fixing plate 144 can support the screw 143 and also support the rack 145 when the rack 145 is displaced.

[0041] It is worth noting that the screw rod 143 is matched with the bottom of the rack 145 , and the rack 145 is matched with the bottom of the protective shell 150 .

[0042] It is worth noting that the limiting frame 131 is fixed to the top of the placement platform 140 by bolts, and the push plate 141 is matched with the bottom of the limiting frame 131.

[0043] In some embodiments, a lower pressure roller is provided at the right end of the bracket 100 to cooperate with the top of the rotating roller 110. At the tail end of the conveying process of the bracket 100, the lower pressure roller can be used in cooperation with the rotating roller 110 to achieve rolling clamping of the steel plate material to prevent the steel plate material from slipping at the tail end of the bracket 100, so that it can be better used with subsequent devices and facilitate the use of the conveying device.

[0044] In addition, the electrical components and electrical equipment mentioned above all use external power supplies. The circuits, electronic components and modules involved in the present invention are all prior art, and those skilled in the art can fully implement them. Needless to say, the content protected by the present invention does not involve improvements to the internal structure and method.

[0045] Working principle: the steel plate can be placed directly on the placing platform 140, and the driving motor 120 drives the screw 143 to rotate so that the push plate 141 pushes the steel plate to the right. At this time, the steel plate cooperates with the bottom of the downward pressure roller 152 inside the conveying assembly 130, so that the steel plate has a certain initial velocity under the pushing effect. When the push plate 141 moves, the rack 145 moves to the right and can cooperate with multiple gears to rotate the downward pressure roller 152. Under the pressure of the downward pressure roller 152, the steel plate is flattened. Then, the steel plate is discharged to the right from the outlet 133 and cooperates with the top of the rotating roller 110. At this time, the steel plate has a certain initial velocity when it contacts the rotating roller 110 and can fit well with the surface of the rotating roller 110, so that there is enough friction to realize the subsequent conveying work; at the same time, when the rack 145 moves to the right, the rear side wall of the rack 145 can resist the groove 211 of the limiter 210, so that the rotating plate 200g The steel plates are continuously discharged from the outlet 133 and discharged in a straight line, which is convenient for positioning the steel plates when being transported on the conveying device, and at the same time enables the conveying device to be better used with subsequent devices; and when the rotating plate 200 is used to guide the steel plates, the position of the limiter 210 can be changed by sliding in conjunction with the slide groove 203, so that the position of the rack 145 when it contacts the limiter 210 changes, so that the rack 145 contacts the limiter 210 to cause the rotation angle of the rotating plate 200 to change, and then the spacing between the fixed rollers 230 after the two rotating plates 200 are rotated inwardly can be changed, so that the rotating plate 200 can be used with steel plates of various widths, which increases the convenience of using the conveying device.
