Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of forging feeding, in particular to a full-automatic feeding mechanism for forging. Background Art
[0002] Forging is a machining process that uses a forging machine to apply pressure to a metal blank, causing it to plastically deform, resulting in forgings with defined mechanical properties, shapes, and dimensions. It is one of the two main components of forging (forging and stamping). Forging eliminates defects such as as-cast porosity that occur during the metal smelting process, optimizes the microstructure, and, by preserving the metal's flow lines, generally provides forgings with superior mechanical properties compared to castings of the same material. For critical parts in machinery subjected to high loads and harsh operating conditions, forgings are often used, with the exception of simpler shapes that can be made from rolled sheet metal, profiles, or welded parts.
[0003] In the forging industry, the forging hammer, as fundamental equipment, enables part shaping and ideal internal structure. Workpiece manipulators, on the other hand, are essential tools for forging large and medium-sized forgings due to their ease of use, increased productivity, and reduced labor costs.
[0004] After searching, it was found that the existing equipment technology has the following defects: on the one hand, a large number of people are required to operate the equipment, so the labor cost is very high; on the other hand, all operations are manual, which poses potential safety hazards. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The technical solution of the present invention addresses the technical problem that the existing technical solution is too single, and provides a solution that is significantly different from the existing technology. In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the existing technology, the present invention provides a fully automatic feeding mechanism for forging, which aims to solve the problems raised in the above-mentioned background technology.
[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides a fully automatic feeding mechanism for forging, comprising: a base, a support seat is arranged above the base, and a conveying platform for feeding is arranged on the upper end surface of the support seat, and an adjustment mechanism is provided at the conveying platform for use in conjunction with it, and the adjustment mechanism includes a rotating seat, a longitudinal moving component shell and a transverse moving component to form a fully automatic feeding function.
[0007] The design of the base serves as a fixed support for the entire device. The design of the support seat serves as a fixed support for the conveying platform. The conveying platform is used to convey the workpiece to be forged. The design of the adjustment mechanism is used to adjust the direction, longitudinal height and lateral position of the conveying platform according to specified requirements, thereby forming a fully automatic feeding function. The control method of the present invention is to control by manually starting and closing the switch. The wiring diagram of the power element and the provision of power supply are common knowledge in this field, and the present invention is mainly used to protect the mechanical device, so the present invention will no longer explain the control method and wiring layout in detail.
[0008] Preferably, the base is made of stainless steel and has a size of 800*500mm.
[0009] The stainless steel base has good corrosion resistance, which extends the service life of the base. The design of this specification base makes the footprint smaller, reflecting the practicality of this device.
[0010] Preferably, the bottom of the base is provided with supporting feet, a heat dissipation grille is preset on one side of the base, and a sliding door is preset on the back of the base.
[0011] The legs are designed to cooperate with the base to provide fixed support for the entire device. The heat energy inside the base is discharged to the outside through the heat dissipation grille. The sliding door is designed to form a maintenance window, which is convenient for staff to perform maintenance procedures inside the base at a later time.
[0012] Preferably, the supporting legs are symmetrically arranged in two groups about the longitudinal mid-axis of the base, and each supporting leg is preset with an internal thread type fixing hole.
[0013] The two sets of symmetrically arranged legs can evenly distribute the weight of the entire base, thereby ensuring the stability of the base's fixed support for the device. The design of the internal threaded fixing holes makes it easy for workers to insert bolts inside them to fix the legs to the external ground.
[0014] Preferably, the conveying platform is in the form of an elongated strip structure, correspondingly forming a feeding end and a driving end, and the length of the conveying platform is greater than the length of the base, and is made of high-temperature resistant metal material.
[0015] The conveying platform made of high-temperature resistant metal material is suitable for the high-temperature environment during forging, thus ensuring the service life of the conveying platform.
[0016] Preferably, a connecting piece is provided at the feeding end of the conveying platform, and a clamping tool is installed on the connecting piece; a cylinder is installed at the driving end of the conveying platform, and the output shaft of the cylinder is connected to the connecting piece.
[0017] The connector and clamping fixture are detachable via bolts, allowing for quick replacement of the fixture. A pre-installed clamping empty sensor (not shown) is included on the conveyor platform to alert staff during use. The cylinder utilizes a commercially available structure, controlling the opening and closing of the clamping fixture via the connector to facilitate the placement of forged workpieces. The cylinder is also equipped with an oil-water separation system, a well-known feature in the field and omitted for clarity.
[0018] Preferably, the rotating seat is circular in structure and is made of carbon steel, and the rotating radius of the rotating seat is 1.4m and the height is 2.4cm.
[0019] The driving source of the rotating seat is a motor, which is preset inside the base. The rotating seat is designed to drive the support base to rotate 360 degrees within a radius of 1.4m, so as to pick up and place the workpiece at the specified position.
[0020] Preferably, the longitudinal moving component shell is vertically arranged on the upper end surface of the rotating seat, and a first servo motor is vertically arranged at the top of the interior of the longitudinal moving component shell, and the output end of the first servo motor is connected to a screw rod, and the screw rod is preset with a connecting shaft for connecting to the positioning block, and the connecting shaft passes through the interior of the longitudinal moving component shell to the outside, and the front surface of the positioning block is connected to a support seat.
[0021] The first servo motor adopts the existing structure available on the market in this field, and is used to drive the screw to rotate forward and reverse. When the screw rotates, the connecting shaft drives the positioning block along the thread on its outer surface to move longitudinally up and down parallel along the front surface of the longitudinal moving component shell. During movement, a limiting slide rail is preset inside the longitudinal moving component shell to limit the movement of the positioning block, so that it always moves within this plane.
[0022] Preferably, the lateral movement assembly includes a second servo motor, a gear and a rack; the second servo motor is laterally arranged on the rear end face of the positioning block, and the gear is arranged on the output shaft of the second servo motor; the rack is arranged on the lower end face of the conveying platform, and the rack and the gear are meshed.
[0023] The second servo motor adopts the existing structure available on the market in this field, and is used to rotate through gears, so that the conveying platform moves horizontally and parallelly along the upper end surface of the support base under the action of the rack.
[0024] The beneficial effects of the present invention are: When the present invention is in use, the design of the adjustment mechanism is used to adjust the direction, longitudinal height and lateral position of the conveying platform according to specified requirements, thereby forming a fully automatic feeding function. This design saves time and effort, improves production efficiency to a certain extent, and avoids the phenomenon of manual operation being burned by high temperature, which is conducive to its promotion and use.
