Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of steel bar production and processing, and in particular to an integral automatic feeding device for horizontal reinforcements of flange plates. Background Art

[0002] Against the backdrop of accelerated building industrialization, automatic flange mesh welding technology is widely used in the production of steel structure components, improving production efficiency and welding quality through automated welding. However, significant technical bottlenecks remain in the key process of automatic flange mesh welding: inserting horizontal ribs into a single flange plate and completing the welding. Currently, this process mostly relies on manual operation, with workers manually inserting the horizontal ribs one by one into the preset holes or positioning slots in the flange plate, and then the welding equipment completes the welding. Because manual operation is affected by factors such as fatigue, emotion, and skill proficiency, problems such as horizontal rib insertion position deviation and insufficient depth are very likely to occur, resulting in substandard mesh structural strength after welding and difficulty in ensuring product qualification rate. At the same time, the efficiency of manual feeding is far lower than the operating cycle of automatic welding equipment, which often causes the welding equipment to be in a waiting state, seriously restricting the overall production line capacity expansion and making it difficult to meet the needs of large-scale industrial production.
