Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of metal forging technology, and in particular to a drag chain forging device. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of mechanical manufacturing and processing, cable chains are an important component widely used in various mechanical equipment to protect cables, air pipes and other pipelines, and to ensure the stability and safety of equipment operation. Temperature control is one of the key factors in the cable chain forging process.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the processing table is internally fixedly equipped with multiple pressure plates, and multiple rigid buffers are provided between two pressure plates. A shelf is fixedly installed on the top of the pressure plate.
[0013] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the outer surface of the processing table is provided with a cleaning mechanism with an electrostatic adsorption plate.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0016] 1. This invention, through the coordinated operation of a heating box, an air pump, a heat outlet pipe, and a heating ring, can deliver heat flow to the ring frame and blow air onto the cable chain on the processing table through the air outlet nozzles on the long plate, providing a stable and suitable temperature environment for the cable chain. Compared with traditional equipment, this temperature control method can more accurately maintain the temperature of the cable chain during the forging process, avoid changes in material properties due to temperature fluctuations, thereby effectively ensuring the quality and precision of cable chain forging and improving the mechanical properties and stability of the finished cable chain.
[0017] 2. In this invention, the first gear meshes with the tooth groove on the outer surface of the ring frame, driving the ring frame to rotate at the top of the processing table. During the rotation, the hot flow ejected from the exhaust nozzle will be stirred at the top of the cable chain, so that the hot flow can be more evenly distributed around the cable chain. This uniform hot flow distribution can ensure that all parts of the cable chain are heated evenly, avoiding problems such as forging deformation or uneven stress caused by local temperature differences, further improving the forging accuracy of the cable chain, and ensuring the dimensional accuracy and shape consistency of the cable chain after forging.
[0018] 3. The present invention uses an adhesive plate installed in the cavity inside the long plate to adhere impurities in the gas, which can effectively filter the heat flow delivered to the surface of the cable chain. This design not only ensures the purity of the heat flow during the cable chain forging process and avoids impurities from damaging the surface of the cable chain or affecting the forging quality, but also reduces the risk of equipment failure caused by impurity accumulation in the forging area to a certain extent and extends the service life of the equipment.
[0019] 4. This invention uses a telescopic component formed by the cylinder and slide rod in the stabilizing mechanism, in conjunction with a damping spring, to provide viscous buffering during the limiting process, reducing the impact force on the cable chain during forging and preventing damage to the cable chain due to excessive compression. At the same time, this limiting method can be adaptively adjusted according to the actual size of different specifications of cable chains, without the need for frequent replacement or adjustment of limiting components, which greatly improves the versatility and ease of operation of the equipment, and reduces production costs and operational difficulty.
[0020] 5. This invention connects the connecting pipe to the heat outlet pipe, allowing heat to enter the cylinder. The first and second heat-conducting rods installed on the inner walls of the cylinder and slide bar facilitate heat conduction. The thermal expansion effect enables the telescopic component to better clamp the cable chain during the limiting process, improving the clamping effect. Furthermore, the support rod maintains a certain temperature during the limiting process, preventing the cable chain from being affected by low temperatures at the limiting point. This further optimizes the limiting conditions, ensuring the stability of the cable chain position during forging, thereby improving forging precision and finished product quality.

[0031] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0032] Please see Figure 1-9The present invention provides a cable chain forging device, including a base 1, an auxiliary mechanism 2 with a processing table 21 installed at the top of the base 1, the processing table 21 being fixedly installed at the top of the base 1, a turbulence-disrupting mechanism 5 with a ring frame 54 being provided near the top of the processing table 21 on the base 1, the ring frame 54 being rotatably installed at the top of the processing table 21, a long plate 55 being connected to the surface of the ring frame 54 near the processing table 21, and a plurality of air nozzles 56 for blowing air and turbulence on the cable chain being connected to the surface of the long plate 55 near the processing table 21.
[0033] The cable chain forging equipment is based on a base 1 as its supporting structure. An auxiliary mechanism 2 with a processing table 21 is fixedly installed on the top of the base 1. The processing table 21 provides an operating platform for cable chain forging. When forging the cable chain, gas is input from the ring frame 54 and enters the inside of the long plate 55. The gas is then blown out onto the cable chain on the processing table 21 through multiple exhaust nozzles 56, forming an airflow. This creates a dynamic turbulence effect around the cable chain. The dynamic turbulence can improve the air circulation around the processing table 21, carrying away the waste gas and odor generated during the forging process. At the same time, good air circulation also helps to prevent excessively high local temperatures or excessive gas concentrations, improving the safety and stability of the equipment operation.
[0034] In the technical solution of this application embodiment, the top end of the ring frame 54 is provided with a heating component 59 with a heating ring 591. The heating ring 591 for heat preservation of the drag chain is fixedly installed on the top end of the ring frame 54. The top end of the base 1 is fixedly installed with an air pump 593. A heat outlet pipe 592 is installed between the output end of the air pump 593 and the heating ring 591. The output end of the air pump 593 is connected to a heating box 594 for conveying heat flow.
[0035] The heating chamber 594 generates heat flow, which is then transported by the air pump 593. Part of the heat flow enters the relevant structure of the heating component 59 through the heat outlet pipe 592, while the other part enters the ring frame 54. Finally, the heat flow is blown out from the air outlet nozzle 56 to create airflow turbulence on the cable chain. The heating ring 591 can keep the cable chain warm. By blowing the cable chain with the heat flow, the cable chain can be heated and kept warm, maintaining a suitable temperature for the cable chain during the forging process. This avoids changes in material properties due to temperature drop, which would affect the forging quality and help improve the precision of cable chain forging and the quality of the finished product.
[0036] In some embodiments, a drive motor 51 is fixedly installed on the top of the base 1, a first gear 52 is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the drive motor 51, and a toothed groove 53 is opened on the outer surface of the ring frame 54, and the first gear 52 meshes with the toothed groove 53.
[0037] When the drive motor 51 is working, the output shaft drives the first gear 52 to rotate. Since the first gear 52 meshes with the tooth groove 53, it drives the ring frame 54 to rotate at the top of the processing table 21. The rotation of the ring frame 54 can cause the hot flow sprayed from the air nozzle 56 to be stirred at the top of the cable chain, so that the hot flow is more evenly distributed around the cable chain, ensuring that all parts of the cable chain are heated evenly, avoiding forging problems caused by local temperature differences, and further improving the precision and effect of cable chain forging.
[0038] In some embodiments, an adhesive plate 57 for adhering gaseous impurities is installed in the internal cavity of the long plate 55, and a plurality of filter screens 510 for filtering gas are provided between the long plate 55 and the gas outlet nozzle 56.
[0039] When the hot flow enters the annular frame 54 from the heat outlet pipe 592 and is then ejected from the air outlet nozzle 56 through the long plate 55, the hot flow will pass through the sticking plate 57 and the filter screen 510 in sequence. The sticking plate 57 and the filter screen 510 can effectively filter impurities in the hot flow, prevent impurities from being blown onto the surface of the cable chain with the hot flow, avoid impurities from damaging the surface of the cable chain or affecting the forging quality, and at the same time reduce the risk of equipment failure caused by the accumulation of impurities in the forging area, and extend the service life of the equipment.
[0040] In some embodiments, the surface of the long plate 55 near the interior of the ring frame 54 is provided with a plurality of conical holes 58 for pressurizing and venting air.
[0041] When the hot flow enters the interior of the long plate 55, the special shape of the conical hole 58 pressurizes the hot flow, giving it higher pressure and speed when it is ejected from the exhaust nozzle 56. The pressurized hot flow can more effectively blow on the surface of the cable chain, enhancing the turbulence effect of the hot flow on the cable chain, improving heat transfer efficiency, and allowing the cable chain temperature to reach and be maintained within a suitable range more quickly, which helps to improve forging efficiency and quality.
[0042] In some embodiments, the top of the base 1 is provided with a stabilizing mechanism 6 with a support rod 62, and a plurality of cylinders 64 are fixedly installed on the top of the base 1. The plurality of cylinders 64 are connected and installed through a connecting pipe 61, and a sliding rod 63 for limiting and stabilizing the cable chain is slidably installed inside the cylinder 64.
[0043] By inflating and pressurizing the inside of the cylinder 64, the slide bar 63 can slide inside the cylinder 64, thereby limiting the drag chains of different sizes. This telescopic limiting structure can flexibly adapt to drag chains of different specifications without the need for frequent replacement or adjustment of the limiting components, thus improving the versatility and ease of operation of the equipment and reducing production costs and operational difficulty.
[0044] In some embodiments, one end of the connecting pipe 61 is connected to the heat outlet pipe 592. The inner walls of the cylinder 64 and the slide rod 63 are respectively provided with a first circular groove 65 and a second circular groove. The first heat-conducting rod 68 and the second heat-conducting rod 69 are respectively installed inside the first circular groove 65 and the second circular groove. The outer surface of the cylinder 64 is provided with a plurality of heat-conducting grooves.
[0045] When the heat flow enters the cylinder 64, the heat is transferred through the heat-conducting rod and the heat-conducting groove, causing the cylinder 64 and the slide rod 63 to expand due to heat. This enhances the clamping effect on the cable chain, ensures the stability of the cable chain position during the forging process, and improves the forging accuracy. At the same time, the support rod 62 maintains a certain temperature to prevent the cable chain limit point from being affected by cooling interference due to excessively low temperature.
[0046] In some embodiments, a damping spring 67 is installed between the inner wall of the cylinder 64 and one end of the slide bar 63, and a protective pad 66 is installed at the end of the slide bar 63 near the cable chain.
[0047] When the cable chain is subjected to the impact force of the forging hammer 4, the slide bar 63 will be squeezed. The viscous buffer provided by the damping spring 67 can reduce the impact force on the cable chain during forging and prevent the cable chain from being damaged due to excessive compression. The protective pad 66 can prevent the slide bar 63 from directly contacting the cable chain and causing scratches, protect the surface quality of the cable chain, and improve the finished product qualification rate.
[0048] In some embodiments, a plurality of pressure plates 23 are fixedly installed inside the processing table 21, and a plurality of rigid buffer members 24 are provided between two pressure plates 23. A shelf 22 is fixedly installed on the top of the pressure plate 23.
[0049] When the cable chain is placed on the platform 22 for forging, the impact force of the forging hammer 4 is transmitted to the pressure plate 23 through the platform 22. The rigid buffer 24 will undergo elastic deformation to absorb part of the impact force, reduce the vibration and deformation of the processing table 21, improve the stability and service life of the processing table 21, and at the same time ensure the positional accuracy of the cable chain during the forging process, which is conducive to improving the forging quality.
[0050] In some embodiments, the outer surface of the processing table 21 is provided with a cleaning mechanism 7 having an electrostatic adsorption plate 72. A plurality of mounting plates 71 are fixedly installed on the outer surface of the processing table 21. The electrostatic adsorption plate 72 is fixedly installed on the surface of the mounting plate 71 near the processing table 21, and a rubber plate 73 is installed on the side wall of the electrostatic adsorption plate 72. A collection groove is opened on the surface of the mounting plate 71 near the rubber plate 73.
[0051] During the forging process, the electrostatic adsorption plate 72 is energized by an external electrostatic generator, thus making the electrostatic adsorption plate 72 charged. The forging debris and dust generated will be adsorbed by the electrostatic adsorption plate 72. The rubber plate 73 can prevent the debris from directly hitting the electrostatic adsorption plate 72 and causing damage. The debris adsorbed on the rubber plate 73 will fall into the collection tank, thereby keeping the environment around the processing table 21 clean, reducing the impact of debris and dust on the forging process, improving forging accuracy and product quality, and facilitating the cleaning of the collected debris.
[0052] In some embodiments, a support frame 3 is fixedly installed at the top of the base 1, and a forging hammer 4 for forging a cable chain is provided at the middle position of the support frame 3, and the forging hammer 4 is located at the top of the processing table 21.
[0053] The forging hammer 4 is usually driven by a hydraulic system. Under the action of power, the forging hammer 4 can reciprocate in the vertical direction. When forging the cable chain, the power system is started, driving the forging hammer 4 to move downward, and applying a certain impact force or pressure to the cable chain placed on the processing table 21, thereby realizing repeated forging of the cable chain. This ensures that each strike of the forging hammer 4 can accurately act on the part of the cable chain that needs to be forged, avoiding forging errors caused by position deviation, and improving the forging accuracy and finished product quality.
[0054] The above are merely specific embodiments of the present invention, but the technical features of the present invention are not limited thereto. Any simple changes, equivalent substitutions, or modifications made based on the present invention to solve essentially the same technical problems and achieve essentially the same technical effects are all covered within the protection scope of the present invention.
