Detailed Implementation

[0029] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0030] A rectangular steel billet loading and moving device for a steel rolling mill has four identical lifting and translating mechanisms. The structure of each lifting and translating mechanism is as follows: Figures 1-3 As shown, it includes: a translation beam 1, a lifting frame 2, a base frame 3, a lifting cylinder 4, a lifting cylinder base 5, a connecting pin 6, a translation cylinder 7, a translation cylinder head seat 8, a connecting steel fork 9, a transverse wheel 10, and a longitudinal wheel 11.

[0031] like Figure 4 As shown, the translation beam 1, as the translation component in this embodiment, includes two guide rails 1.1 and multiple stiffening plates 1.2. The two guide rails 1.1 are located on both sides and are welded together through the stiffening plates 1.2.

[0032] like Figure 5 , 6 As shown, the lifting frame 2, as the core transmission and support component of this embodiment, is T-shaped and includes a vertical frame 21, a horizontal frame 22, and a saddle-shaped plate 23. The vertical frame 21 includes a connecting rod 24, a flat plate 25, and vertical plates 26. Two vertical plates 26 are symmetrically arranged and symmetrically machined with four mounting holes. One bottom side is connected to the two vertical plates 26 via the connecting rod 24, and the other side is connected to the two vertical plates 26 via the flat plate 25. The horizontal frame 22 is designed as a square hollow structure with four mounting holes symmetrically distributed on both sides. The upper part of the vertical plates 26 of the vertical frame 21 is fixedly connected to the side surface of the horizontal frame 22. The saddle-shaped plate 23 includes a front axle (i.e., Figure 5 The right side portion of the saddle-shaped plate 23 and the rear axle portion (i.e. Figure 5 The left side of the saddle-shaped plate 23 is welded to the middle part of the lower surface of the cross frame 22.

[0033] like Figure 7 , 8 As shown, the base frame 3, as the core load-bearing support component of this embodiment, is welded together from steel plate 31, horizontal channel steel 32, inclined channel steel 33 and C-shaped rail 34. The two C-shaped rails 34 are welded together from two steel plates 31 to form a whole. The bottom of the whole is welded vertically to the horizontal channel steel 32 to play a vertical guiding role. One end of each of the two inclined channel steels 33 is welded to the C-shaped rail 34, and the other end is welded to the mounting surface on the right side of the horizontal channel steel 32 (the side away from the lifting cylinder 4).

[0034] like Figure 9 , 10 As shown, the steel fork 9, as the core component for moving steel in this embodiment, directly contacts and lifts the steel billet during operation, and it is necessary to prevent the steel billet from rolling or sliding. The steel fork 9 includes a flat plate 91, a vertical plate 92, and a stiffening plate 1.2. The flat plate and the vertical plate are fixedly connected, and the included angle between the flat plate 91 and the vertical plate 92 is designed to be 88° (close to vertical but slightly inward), so that the center of gravity of the steel billet is slightly tilted towards the vertical plate 92 of the steel fork 9, thereby ensuring that the friction force of the steel billet is outward, and ensuring that the steel billet always stays stably attached to the steel fork 9 during the steel moving process, and is not prone to slippage; the bottom of the flat plate 91 and the rear end of the vertical plate 92 are both welded with stiffening plates 1.2 with reinforcing structures.

[0035] The front end of the translation beam 1 is fully welded to the connecting steel fork 9 to support the steel billet; and the translation beam 1 passes through the horizontal frame 22 of the lifting frame 2; the vertical frame 21 of the lifting frame 2 is set around the C-shaped track 34 of the base frame 3.

[0036] The lifting cylinder 4 is located between the lifting frame 2 and the base frame 3. The specific arrangement of the lifting cylinder 4 is as follows: the lifting cylinder base 5 is connected through the groove on the left side (the side closest to the lifting cylinder 4) of the horizontal channel steel 32; one end of the lifting cylinder 4 is connected to the lifting cylinder base 5 through the connecting pin 6 to support the movement of the lifting cylinder 4; the other end of the lifting cylinder 4 is connected to the rear axle of the saddle-shaped plate 23 through the connecting pin 6.

[0037] The translation cylinder 7 is located between the translation beam 1 and the lifting frame 2. The specific arrangement of the translation cylinder 7 is as follows: the translation cylinder head seat 8 is installed on the rear end face of the translation beam 1, one end of the translation cylinder 7 is connected to the translation cylinder head seat 8 through the connecting pin 6; the other end of the translation cylinder 7 is connected to the front axle part of the saddle-shaped plate 23 through the connecting pin 6.

[0038] The transverse wheels 10 are positioned between the translation beam 1 and the lifting frame 2. The four transverse wheels 10 serve as horizontal guides and load-bearing components in this embodiment. They are installed inside the transverse frame 22 via mounting holes and nuts. The guide rail 1.1 of the translation beam 1 contacts the wheel surface and flange of the transverse wheels 10, providing guidance and transmission for forward and backward movement and reducing frictional resistance.

[0039] The longitudinal wheels 11 are arranged between the lifting frame 2 and the base frame 3. The four longitudinal wheels 11 serve as vertical guide components in this embodiment. They are installed on the inner side of the vertical plate 26 through the mounting holes and nuts of the vertical plate 26. The C-shaped track 34 of the base frame 3 contacts the wheel surface and the edge of the longitudinal wheels 11, which plays a role in guiding and transmitting the vertical movement and reducing frictional resistance.

[0040] Based on the above structure, the working process of the rectangular billet furnace moving device is as follows: During operation, when the billet loading platform reaches the billet position, the stop hook descends, the piston rod of the translation cylinder 7 retracts, driving the translation beam 1 to move forward to the left to the forward stop position a. The piston rod of the lifting cylinder 4 extends, driving the lifting frame 2, translation beam 1, and receiving fork 9 to rise, lifting the billet to the rising stop position b. The piston rod of the translation cylinder 7 extends, driving the translation beam 1 to move backward to the right to the stop position c. The piston rod of the lifting cylinder 4 retracts, driving the lifting frame 2, translation beam 1, and receiving fork 9 to descend to the stop position d. At this time, the billet is stably placed on the furnace loading roller conveyor, and finally the roller conveyor transports the billet into the furnace.

[0041] The entire set of equipment of this invention is precisely designed, with each device closely connected and easy to disassemble. The equipment can adjust the action speed of the hydraulic cylinder according to the actual site conditions to achieve controllable lifting and lowering speed. By storing the power parameters of the hydraulic solenoid valves for different specifications of billets through PLC, the lifting and lowering positions of the equipment can be effectively adjusted, thereby realizing the steel transfer function of various specifications of billets. It can complete the billet translation work with high quality and high efficiency, with low operating cost and high efficiency.

[0042] The embodiments described above are preferred embodiments of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Any obvious improvements, substitutions or modifications that can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the essence of the present invention shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
