Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of conveying equipment, and specifically to an automatic conveying equipment and a conveying method for the production of stainless steel products. Background Art

[0002] The production of stainless steel products includes multiple processes, such as cutting, stamping, welding, grinding, spraying, etc. The conveying equipment can convey the products from one process to the next in sequence to ensure the continuity of the production process. When conveying columnar or tubular stainless steel products, a roller feeder is used. A roller feeder is a device that uses the rotation of rollers to achieve material conveying, mainly composed of a frame, a bin, rollers, a driving device, a conveyor, etc. When in use, the driving device drives the rollers to rotate, and the columnar or tubular stainless steel products fall into the grooves on the rollers in sequence from the bin. The stainless steel products will automatically fall onto the conveyor in sequence as the rollers rotate, thereby realizing the continuous conveying of columnar or tubular stainless steel products.

[0003] However, the space size of the grooves on the rollers of the existing roller feeder cannot be adjusted, and it can only convey columnar or tubular stainless steel products with the same diameter. When it is necessary to convey columnar or tubular stainless steel products with different diameters, it is necessary to replace the roller feeder with other models, or disassemble the rollers on this roller feeder and replace them with rollers of other models, which brings great inconvenience to the staff and also affects the conveying efficiency to a certain extent.

[0037] Embodiment 1: Please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 14, An automated conveying device for the production of a stainless-steel product shown in the figure, including a conveyor main body 1. Above the conveyor main body 1, a pipe body 3 is installed through a support assembly. The outer ring surface of the pipe body 3 is symmetrically provided with blanking grooves 32 up and down, and a material bin 6 is fixedly installed at the top of the outer ring surface of the pipe body 3. A material blocking mechanism is provided on the pipe body 3. A cylinder 12 is rotatably arranged on the inner ring surface of the pipe body 3 through a driving mechanism. Three square grooves 13 are annularly arranged around the center on the outer wall of the cylinder 12. Two baffle plates 14 are symmetrically attached to the inner walls of the three square grooves 13. In front of the cylinder 12, a circular ring 10 is installed through a transmission mechanism. Elastic mechanisms are provided between the two baffle plates 14 in each square groove 13 and the cylinder 12. Pushing members are provided between the three elastic mechanisms and the circular ring 10. The front ends of the two baffle plates 14 in each square groove 13 are jointly attached to a T-shaped frame 41. The three T-shaped frames 41 are respectively slidably matched with the three square grooves 13, and a regulating mechanism is provided between the three T-shaped frames 41 and the cylinder 12.

[0038] The support assembly includes two L-shaped frames 2. The two L-shaped frames 2 are symmetrically and fixedly connected to the outer wall of the pipe body 3, and the bottom ends of the two L-shaped frames 2 are respectively fixedly connected to the two side edges of the upper end of the conveyor main body 1.

[0039] The driving mechanism includes an L-shaped plate 5. The L-shaped plate 5 is fixedly connected to the rear end near the lower edge of the material bin 6, and a first motor 4 is fixedly installed through the vertical wall of the L-shaped plate 5. The output shaft end of the first motor 4 is fixedly connected to the center of the rear end of the cylinder 12.

[0040] The transmission mechanism includes a screw 18 and a guide rod 27. The screw 18 is rotatably connected to an eccentric position at the front end of the cylinder 12. The circular ring 10 is threadedly sleeved on the outer wall of the screw 18. The guide rod 27 is fixedly connected to another eccentric position at the front end of the cylinder 12, and the guide rod 27 movably penetrates through the front end of the circular ring 10.

A second knob screw 26 is screwed through the inner wall of the U-shaped block 25, and the end of the second knob screw 26 is closely attached to the outer wall of the circular ring 10.

[0041] The elastic mechanism includes a rectangular groove 29. The rectangular groove 29 is opened at the front end of the cylinder 12 corresponding to the square groove 13, and the rectangular groove 29 is communicated with the square groove 13. Two square rods 15 are symmetrically attached to the inner wall of the rectangular groove 29. The rear ends of the two square rods 15 are respectively fixedly connected to the front ends of the two baffle plates 14. Connecting blocks 22 are attached to the walls of the two square rods 15 away from each other. The rear ends of the two connecting blocks 22 are fixedly connected to the front end of the cylinder 12. A connecting column 16 is fixedly connected between the two connecting blocks 22. The connecting column 16 sequentially movably penetrates through the two square rods 15, and a spring 17 is slidably sleeved on the outer wall of the connecting column 16. The spring 17 is fixedly connected between the two square rods 15.

[0042] The driving member includes an L-shaped rod 9 which is fixedly connected to the outer ring surface of the circular ring 10, and a V-shaped plate 8 is fixedly connected to the end of the L-shaped rod 9 away from the circular ring 10. The inner V-shaped surface of the V-shaped plate 8 is in contact with the front edges of the two square rods 15.

[0043] The regulating mechanism includes a stud 11 and three cross-shaped grooves 23. The stud 11 is rotatably connected to the front center of the cylinder 12, and the stud 11 passes through the circular ring 10. An internal thread ring 28 is threadedly sleeved on the outer wall of the stud 11 near the front edge. Three connecting rods 21 are rotatably connected to the outer wall of the internal thread ring 28 in a circumferential array around its center. The rear ends of the three connecting rods 21 are all rotatably connected to a cross-shaped block 24. The three cross-shaped grooves 23 are respectively opened at the front end of the cylinder 12 corresponding to the three cross-shaped blocks 24, and the three cross-shaped grooves 23 are respectively communicated with the three square grooves 13, and the three cross-shaped grooves 23 are respectively in sliding fit with the three cross-shaped blocks 24. The rear ends of the three cross-shaped blocks 24 are respectively fixedly connected to the front ends of the three T-shaped frames 41. A U-shaped plate 19 is fixedly connected to the front end of the cylinder 12 near the stud 11. A first knob screw 20 is screwed through the inner wall of the U-shaped plate 19, and the end of the first knob screw 20 is in close contact with the outer wall of the stud 11.

[0044] In this embodiment, first, columnar or tubular stainless steel products (hereinafter referred to as steel products) are neatly placed in the bin 6. One of the steel products at the bottom will fall into the uppermost square groove 13 on the cylinder 12 through a blanking groove 32 located above on the pipe body 3, and the steel product will be located between the T-shaped frame 41 and the two baffle plates 14 in the square groove 13 (under the limiting action of the T-shaped frame 41 and the two baffle plates 14, it can be ensured that only one steel product can be accommodated in the square groove 13). Subsequently, the conveyor main body 1 and the motor 1 on the L-shaped plate 5 are started. The motor 1 will drive the cylinder 12 to rotate in the pipe body 3, and the components connected to the cylinder 12 will also rotate accordingly. Among them, the cylinder 12 will drive the three square grooves 13 on it and the T-shaped frames 41 and the two baffle plates 14 in each of the three square grooves 13 to rotate together. When the uppermost square groove 13 rotates 180 degrees, the steel product in the square groove 13 can fall onto the conveyor main body 1 through a blanking groove 32 located below on the pipe body 3 and be conveyed by the conveyor main body 1 to the rear for the next step of processing.

[0045] While the cylinder 12 is rotating, a square groove 13 adjacent to the originally uppermost square groove 13 will rotate to the uppermost position. At this time, another steel product in the bin 6 will also fall between the T-shaped frame 41 and the two baffle plates 14 in this square groove 13. Similarly, as the cylinder 12 continues to rotate, multiple steel products in the bin 6 will fall onto the conveyor main body 1 in sequence and orderly as the cylinder 12 rotates. Then, the intervals between the multiple steel products conveyed on the conveyor main body 1 are consistent, thereby ensuring the continuity of subsequent processing.

[0046] It should be noted that when it is necessary to convey steel products with a shorter diameter, in order to prevent two or more steel products from being accommodated in the square groove 13 at the same time and ensure that only one steel product can be accommodated in the square groove 13, before starting the conveying operation, first rotate the knob screw two 26 upward. The knob screw two 26 will rotate upward within the U-shaped block 25 on the ring 10, and the end of the knob screw two 26 will leave the screw rod 18, thus loosening the screw rod 18. Subsequently, rotate the screw rod 18. The screw rod 18 will rotate on the cylinder 12, and the screw rod 18 will drive the ring 10 to move backward (during this process, the ring 10 will also slide backward outside the guide rod 27 on the cylinder 12). The ring 10 will drive the three L-shaped rods 9 to move backward together, and the three L-shaped rods 9 will drive the V-shaped plates 8 on them to move backward together. Refer to Figure 2 : During the backward movement of one of the V-shaped plates 8, the inner V-shaped surface of the V-shaped plate 8 will contact the two square rods 15, causing the two square rods 15 to slide closer to each other within the corresponding rectangular grooves 29 on the cylinder 12. The two square rods 15 will also slide closer to each other outside the connecting columns 16 connected between the corresponding two connecting blocks 22 (during this process, the spring 17 between the two square rods 15 will be compressed on the outer wall of the corresponding connecting column 16). The two square rods 15 will drive the baffles 14 on them to slide closer to each other within the corresponding square grooves 13 until the distance between the two baffles 14 can accommodate at most only one steel product with a shorter diameter. Similarly, the backward movement of the other two V-shaped plates 8 will also make the distance between the two baffles 14 in each of the other two square grooves 13 accommodate at most only one steel product with a shorter diameter. At this time, stop rotating the screw rod 18 and rotate the knob screw two 26 downward so that the knob screw two 26 presses against the screw rod 18 again, thereby making the screw rod 18 maintain a fixed state again. Then, the two baffles 14 in each square groove 13 can maintain a fixed state after moving.

[0047] It is worth mentioning that although the two baffles 14 can only accommodate at most one steel product after moving at this time, in order to prevent the depth of the square groove 13 from accommodating more than one steel product, the knob screw one 20 can be rotated downward first. The knob screw one 20 will rotate downward within the U-shaped plate 19 on the cylinder 12, and the end of the knob screw one 20 will leave the stud 11, so that the stud 11 can be loosened. Subsequently, the stud 11 is rotated, and the stud 11 will drive the internal thread ring 28 to slide backward on the outer wall of the stud 11. The internal thread ring 28 will drive the front ends of the three connecting rods 21 to move backward together, and the rear ends of the three connecting rods 21 will move away from each other and drive the cross-shaped blocks 24 on them to slide away from each other within the corresponding cross-shaped grooves 23 (during this process, the three connecting rods 21 will rotate between the internal thread ring 28 and their corresponding cross-shaped blocks 24). The three cross-shaped blocks 24 will drive the T-shaped frames 41 on them to move away from the central axis of the cylinder 12 within the corresponding square grooves 13 (the transverse parts of the three T-shaped frames 41 will also slide on the front ends of the corresponding two baffles 14). Then, the depth of the three square grooves 13 can become shallower due to the movement of the T-shaped frames 41 within them until the depth of each of the three square grooves 13 can at most accommodate one steel product, and then the rotation of the stud 11 can be stopped. Subsequently, the knob screw one 20 is rotated upward so that the stud 11 is fixed again, and the T-shaped frame 41 within each square groove 13 can be fixed again after moving. At this time, at most one steel product can be accommodated between the T-shaped frames 41 within the three square grooves 13 and the two baffles 14 respectively, which is convenient for conveying columnar or tubular stainless steel products with different diameters.

[0048] Embodiment 2: Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 7 - Figure 14 This embodiment further illustrates Embodiment 1. In the figure, the material blocking mechanism includes two arc grooves 33 and two second arc holes 40. The two arc grooves 33 are symmetrically opened in the inner wall of the pipe body 3, and the two arc grooves 33 are respectively communicated with the two blanking grooves 32. The upper parts of the inner walls of the two arc grooves 33 are both attached with arc-shaped blocks 36. The two arc-shaped blocks 36 are symmetrically arranged, and the front ends of the two arc-shaped blocks 36 are both fixedly connected with splicing columns 35. The two second arc holes 40 are respectively opened at the front end of the pipe body 3 corresponding to the two splicing columns 35, and the two second arc holes 40 are respectively in sliding fit with the two splicing columns 35. A linkage mechanism is provided between the front ends of the two splicing columns 35 and the front end of the bin 6.

[0049] The linkage mechanism includes an arc-shaped shell 7, which is fixedly connected to the lower front edge of the silo 6. And at the upper front edge of the arc-shaped shell 7, an L-shaped block 30 is fixedly connected. A second motor 31 is fixedly installed through the vertical wall of the L-shaped block 30. The output shaft of the second motor 31 movably penetrates the inner wall of the front end of the arc-shaped shell 7. And at the end of the output shaft of the second motor 31, a gear 37 is fixedly connected. The upper and lower tooth surfaces of the gear 37 are respectively meshed and connected with an upper arc-shaped tooth plate 38 and a lower arc-shaped tooth plate 34. Both the upper arc-shaped tooth plate 38 and the lower arc-shaped tooth plate 34 are slidably attached to the inner wall of the arc-shaped shell 7. At the rear end of the arc-shaped shell 7, arc-shaped holes one 39 are respectively opened at the positions corresponding to the two splicing columns 35. The two arc-shaped holes one 39 are respectively in sliding fit with the two splicing columns 35. The front ends of the two splicing columns 35 are respectively fixedly connected to the rear ends of the upper arc-shaped tooth plate 38 and the lower arc-shaped tooth plate 34.

[0050] In this embodiment, since the two baffle plates 14 in the first embodiment move closer to each other in their respective corresponding square grooves 13, the walls of the two baffle plates 14 that were originally far from each other will both leave the inner walls of the square grooves 13. Then there will be a gap between the inner walls of the square grooves 13 and the two baffle plates 14. To prevent steel products with a shorter diameter from falling into the gap between the square groove 13 and the two baffle plates 14 when falling from the silo 6 into the square groove 13, the second motor 31 on the L-shaped block 30 can be started. The output shaft of the second motor 31 will rotate in the arc-shaped shell 7 and drive the gear 37 to rotate in the arc-shaped shell 7. The gear 37 will drive the upper arc-shaped tooth plate 38 and the lower arc-shaped tooth plate 34 to slide closer to each other in the arc-shaped shell 7. The upper arc-shaped tooth plate 38 and the lower arc-shaped tooth plate 34 will drive the splicing columns 35 on them to slide in their respective corresponding arc-shaped holes one 39 (the two splicing columns 35 will also slide in the arc-shaped holes two 40 corresponding to them on the pipe body 3). The two splicing columns 35 will drive the arc-shaped stoppers 36 on them to slide in the arc-shaped grooves 33 corresponding to them on the pipe body 3. The opposite ends of the two arc-shaped stoppers 36 will move closer to each other at the upper material dropping groove 32 on the pipe body 3 until the opposite ends of the two arc-shaped stoppers 36 correspond to the upper ends of their respective corresponding baffle plates 14. The gap between the walls of the two baffle plates 14 that are far from each other and the inner wall of the square groove 13 can be blocked by the two arc-shaped stoppers 36 (at this time, the second motor 31 can be turned off). This ensures that during the process of conveying steel products with a shorter diameter, the steel products with a shorter diameter will not fall into the gap between the square groove 13 and the two baffle plates 14, further ensuring the continuity and orderliness of the conveying.

[0051] Please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 14 The present invention also discloses an automatic conveying method for the production of stainless steel products, including the following steps:

[0052] S1: First, place the columnar or tubular stainless steel products in the silo 6. The lowermost columnar or tubular stainless steel product will enter the uppermost square groove 13 on the cylinder 12 through the upper blanking groove 32 on the pipe body 3, and the columnar or tubular stainless steel product will be exactly located between the T-shaped frame 41 and the two baffles 14 in the square groove 13.

[0053] S2: Subsequently, drive the cylinder 12 to rotate through the driving mechanism.
