Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of forging technology and relates to an automatic turning device for a forging production line. Background Technology

[0002] While manual turning has advantages such as low cost and high flexibility in forging production lines, it also suffers from several drawbacks due to human operation and physical limitations, affecting production efficiency, product quality, and safety management.

[0009] Preferably, two balance bars are fixedly connected to each opposite side of the limiting component, and the balance bars are slidably connected to the fixed plate.

[0010] Preferably, the limiting component includes a flip plate slidably connected to the inner wall of the flip seat, a push plate slidably connected to the inner wall of the flip plate, and a moving rod fixedly connected to opposite sides of the two push plates.

[0013] The positive and progressive effects of this application are as follows:

[0014] The automatic turning device for a forging production line provided in this embodiment of the invention has the following advantages:

[0015] 1. By coordinating the different structures, the workpiece can be flipped quickly using a simple design, thereby improving the efficiency of the forging production line.

[0016] 2. By using a first spring in conjunction with a push plate and a moving rod, the workpiece, after being flipped and detached from the flipping plate, is positioned at the center of the top of the lifting assembly due to the elastic force of the first spring. This facilitates the forging machine structure's limiting forging process after conveying. The limiting plate, controlled by a second spring, provides high compressive strength to the workpiece, allowing it to withstand higher pressure during flipping. This effectively limits the workpiece's position and maintains its stability. Furthermore, the second spring structure allows for the adaptation to various workpiece types, thus expanding the applicability of this device.

[0017] 3. By coordinating the different structures, the workpiece is automatically flipped, thereby improving the flipping accuracy and speed, reducing damage to the workpiece surface caused by manual flipping, and ultimately improving the processing quality of the workpiece on the forging line.

[0025] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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 should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] like Figure 1-6 As shown, the present invention is an automatic turning device for a forging production line; it includes: a forging machine 1, a turning seat 2 fixedly connected between two forging machines 1, a turning unit 3 fixedly connected between the front and rear inner sides of the turning seat 2, a cavity opened inside the turning unit 3, and protective covers 4 fixedly connected to both the front and rear sides of the turning seat 2.

[0027] The flipping unit 3 includes a motor 31 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the flipping base 2. The output end of the motor 31 is fixedly connected to a first gear 32 via a rotating shaft. Two sets of symmetrically arranged movable brackets 33 are slidably connected inside the flipping base 2. A rotating cylinder 34 is fixedly connected to one side of each movable bracket 33. A limit component 35 is fixedly connected to the side of the rotating cylinder 34 closest to the flipping base 2. A fixed plate 38 is connected to the opposite side of each of the two limit components 35. The fixed plate 38 is fixedly connected to the flipping base 2. A cavity is opened inside the fixed plate 38. A flipping component 36 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fixed plate 38. A lifting component 37 is connected to the bottom surface of the limit component 35, and the lifting component 37 is slidably connected to the flipping base 2.

[0028] Specifically, when using this device, the workpiece to be processed needs to be forged by the forging machine 1 on the left, and then transported to the position of the flipping seat 2. Then, the flipping unit 3 is started to flip the workpiece. The motor 31 starts and drives the moving bracket 33 to move through the first gear 32. The moving bracket 33 is L-shaped. During the movement, the moving bracket 33 drives the rotating drum 34 to move. The moving bracket 33 pushes the limiting component 35 through the rotating drum 34. After the limiting component 35 contacts the workpiece, it limits and fixes the workpiece through its own structure, thereby effectively preventing the workpiece from shifting or falling during the flipping process, thus maintaining the safety of the workpiece during the flipping process.

[0029] During the process of the limiting component 35 contacting the workpiece, the moving bracket 33 drives the lifting component 37 to move, causing the workpiece conveying structure to move downward, thereby maintaining the smooth operation of the structure. At the same time, the moving bracket 33 drives the flipping component 36 to move during the movement, and the flipping component 36 drives the workpiece to flip 180 degrees during the operation.

[0030] Preferably, the flipping assembly 36 includes a second ball screw 361 fixedly connected to one side of the front and rear movable supports 33. The outer wall of the second ball screw 361 is slidably connected to a ratchet 362 by a thread, and the ratchet 362 is rotatably connected to the fixed plate 38. The outer wall of the ratchet 362 is fixedly connected to a second gear 363, and the outer wall of the rotating drum 34 is fixedly connected to a third gear 364. The second gear 363 and the third gear 364 mesh with each other.

[0031] Specifically, during the movement of the movable bracket 33, the second ball screw 361 is moved. When the thread on the surface of the second ball screw 361 contacts the ratchet 362, the second ball screw 361 drives the second gear 363 to rotate through the ratchet 362. The second gear 363 drives the rotating drum 34 to rotate through the rotation of the third gear 364. The rotating drum 34 and the third gear 364 are provided with stripes for sliding connection.

[0032] The third gear 364 is fixedly connected to the limiting component 35, so that the third gear 364 drives the limiting component 35 to rotate, thereby completing the workpiece rotation operation. The threaded structure on the outer wall of the second ball screw 361 is located near the movable bracket 33, so that the limiting component 35 completely covers the workpiece before rotation, thereby ensuring the safety of the rotation operation and preventing the workpiece from slipping. Through the cooperation between the structures, the workpiece can be quickly rotated through a simple structure, thereby improving the working efficiency of the forging production line.

[0033] Ideally, two balance bars 365 are fixedly connected to each side of the limiting component 35, and the balance bars 365 are slidably connected to the fixing plate 38.

[0034] Specifically, by setting the structure of the balance bar 365 as the balance structure of the limit component 35, it can be ensured that after the balance bar 365 is completely separated from the fixed plate 38, the second ball screw 361 drives the ratchet 362 to rotate through the surface thread, thereby serving as the start and end line for observation, and ensuring that the progress of the work can be effectively observed.

[0035] Preferably, the limiting component 35 includes a flip plate 3510 slidably connected to the inner wall of the flip seat 2, a push plate 351 slidably connected to the inner wall of the flip plate 3510, and a moving rod 352 fixedly connected to opposite sides of the two push plates 351. A first spring 353 is sleeved on the outer wall of the moving rod 352, and the front and rear ends of the first spring 353 are fixedly connected to the flip plate 3510 or the push plate 351 respectively.

[0036] Specifically, the structure of the limiting component 35 is pushed to contact the workpiece by the rotating cylinder 34. The rotating cylinder 34 pushes the flip plate 3510 to move. After the front and rear flip plates 3510 contact the workpiece simultaneously, they make smooth contact through the chamfered angle opened on the side of the contact flip plate 3510 close to the workpiece, so that the workpiece is contained by the front and rear flip plates 3510. During the continuous movement of the flip plate 3510, the push plate 351 is pushed to move under the action of the moving rod 352 by the volume of the workpiece itself.

[0037] By setting the first spring 353 to work with the push plate 351 and the moving rod 352, the workpiece is separated from the flip plate 3510 after being flipped. The elastic force of the first spring 353 makes the workpiece located in the middle position at the top of the lifting assembly 37 after being separated from the flip plate 3510, so that it can be forged by the forging machine 1 structure after being transported.

[0038] Preferably, a worm gear 354 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the moving rod 352 via a thread. The worm gear 354 is rotatably connected to the flip plate 3510. The flip plate 3510 has a cavity inside. Two first ball screws 355 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the flip plate 3510. A worm wheel 356 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first ball screw 355. The worm wheel 356 and the worm gear 354 mesh with each other. A moving plate 357 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the two first ball screws 355 via a thread. Multiple second springs 359 are fixedly connected to opposite sides of the two moving plates 357. The second springs 359 are slidably connected to the first ball screws 355. Two limiting plates 358 are slidably connected to the outer wall of the first ball screws 355. The moving plate 357 is located between the worm wheel 356 and the limiting plate 358. The end of the second spring 359 away from the moving plate 357 is fixedly connected to the limiting plate 358.

[0039] Specifically, when the volume of the workpiece limits the movement of the push plate 351, the rotating drum 34 continuously drives the flipping plate 3510 to move, causing the moving rod 352 to drive the worm gear 354 to rotate through the surface thread. The worm gear 354 rotates, driving the worm wheel 356 to rotate. The worm gear 354 drives the first ball screw 355 to rotate through the worm wheel 356. During the rotation of the first ball screw 355, the moving plate 357 moves through the surface thread. The moving plate 357 drives the limiting plate 358 to move through the second spring 359. The limiting plate 358 is limited by the second spring 359, thus providing the workpiece with high compressive strength. It can withstand higher pressure during the workpiece flipping process, effectively limiting the workpiece during flipping and maintaining its stability. Furthermore, the structure with the second spring 359 can adapt to various types of workpieces, thereby improving the applicability of this device.

[0040] Preferably, the lifting assembly 37 includes a conveyor frame 371 slidably connected to the inner wall of the flipping seat 2. Multiple sets of slide plates 372 are fixedly connected to both the front and rear sides of the conveyor frame 371. The three slide plates 372 are spaced at the same interval. A third ball screw 373 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the slide plate 372 by a thread. A fourth gear 374 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the middle slide plate 372 by a thread. The outer wall of the moving bracket 33 is provided with a tooth groove 375 that matches the fourth gear 374.

[0041] Specifically, by setting the structure of the lifting assembly 37, both the front and rear flipping plates 3510 contact the workpiece. After the workpiece is lifted, the moving bracket 33 drives the fourth gear 374 to rotate through the toothed grooves 375 on its surface. The fourth gear 374 drives the third ball screw 373 to rotate. The third ball screw 373 drives the conveyor frame 371 to move downward through the cooperation of its surface threads with the sliding plate 372. This allows the conveyor frame 371 to complete its downward movement between the second ball screw 361 and the ratchet 362. Through the cooperation between the structures, the workpiece is automatically flipped, thereby improving the flipping accuracy and speed, reducing the damage to the workpiece surface caused by manual flipping, and thus improving the processing quality of the workpiece on the forging line.

[0042] The work process is as follows:

[0043] When using this device, the workpiece to be processed needs to be forged by the forging machine 1 on the left, and then conveyed to the position of the flipping seat 2. Then, the flipping unit 3 is started to flip the workpiece. The motor 31 starts and drives the moving bracket 33 to move through the first gear 32. The moving bracket 33 is L-shaped. During the movement, the moving bracket 33 drives the rotating drum 34 to move. The moving bracket 33 pushes the limiting component 35 through the rotating drum 34. After the limiting component 35 contacts the workpiece, it limits and fixes the workpiece through its own structure, thereby effectively preventing the workpiece from shifting or falling during the flipping process, thus maintaining the safety of the workpiece during the flipping process. During the contact of the limiting component 35 with the workpiece, the moving bracket 33 drives the lifting component 37 to move, so that the structure conveying the workpiece moves downward, thereby maintaining the smooth operation of the structure. At the same time, the moving bracket 33 drives the flipping component 36 to move during the movement. The flipping component 36 drives the workpiece to flip 180 degrees during the operation. Through the cooperation between the structures, the workpiece can be flipped quickly and efficiently, so as not to affect the efficiency of the forging production line.

[0044] It is understood that the above embodiments are merely exemplary implementations used to illustrate the principles of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited thereto. For those skilled in the art, various modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the spirit and essence of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements are also considered to be within the scope of protection of the present invention.
