Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of steel coil handling and moving equipment technology, specifically a quick positioning and anti-tipping device for a coil turning machine. Background Technology

[0002] Generally speaking, the vertical-to-horizontal conversion of steel coils is carried out using a coil turning machine. If the width of the steel coil is less than 300mm or the width-to-height ratio is less than 1 / 3, there is a risk of the steel coil tipping over during the turning process.

[0003] Equipment manufacturers typically weld a row of steel pipes on both sides of the placement platform. By inserting bar stock, the steel coil is clamped between the bar stock and the roller conveyor to prevent tipping. However, due to the limitations of the steel pipes, the distance between the bar stock is fixed, while the width of the steel coil varies, resulting in gaps between the bar stock and the steel coil. The bar stock cannot provide effective support for the steel coil, and there is still a risk of the steel coil tipping over during the flipping process. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical task of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and to provide a quick positioning anti-tipping device for a coil turning machine. This device addresses the problems existing in the coil turning process and solves the problem that the gap between the bar stock and the coil causes the anti-tipping device to fail.

[0005] The technical solution of the present invention is implemented in the following manner: the quick positioning and anti-tipping device for the turning machine of the present invention includes a turning machine, a quick positioning mechanism and an anti-tipping mechanism. The coil turning machine has a vertical steel coil support platform and a horizontal steel coil support platform, which are perpendicular to each other and intersect. Two parallel wedge-shaped bearing seats are fixedly installed on the vertical bearing platform of the steel coil. The wedge surfaces of the two wedge bearing seats are arranged opposite each other to form the bottom foot of the steel coil. The rapid positioning mechanism is configured on the vertical support platform of the steel coil; The quick positioning mechanism includes a slide rail (1), a fixing screw (2), a quick clamp (3), and a slider (4); The slide rail (1) is provided with two parallel tracks, and the two slide rails are respectively fixed on the steel coil vertical support platform on the outside of the steel coil bottom foot; each slide rail (1) is slidably sleeved with a slider (4). Each slider (4) is fixedly provided with a quick clamp (3) on its outer side. The quick clamp (3) is used to lock and fix the slider (4) at any position on the slide rail (1). The anti-tipping mechanism is mounted on the two sliders (4) of the quick positioning mechanism; The anti-tipping mechanism includes a fixing bolt (5), a protective column (6), an adjustable locking handle (9), and a protective rod (10). Each slider (4) is fixedly connected to a protective column (6) by a fixing bolt (5); Two protective posts (6) are fitted at both ends of the protective rod (10) in the horizontal direction. The protective rod (10) is equipped with adjustable locking handles (9) at both ends. The adjustable locking handles (9) are used to quickly lock the locking hinge of the protective rod (10) and the protective column (6). Two protective columns (6) and one protective rod (10) constitute an anti-tipping frame; A set of flat rolling rollers is fixedly installed on the horizontal bearing platform of the steel coil; the two ends of the flat rolling rollers are mounted on the bearing seats of the horizontal bearing platform of the steel coil.

[0006] The quick clamp (3) is fixed to the outer side of the slider (4) by the fixing screw (2).

[0007] The coil turning machine is fixedly connected to the turning platform, which is used to reciprocate the entire coil turning machine by 90 degrees, thereby changing the orientation of the steel coil carried inside the coil turning machine.

[0008] The guard rod (10) has a free sliding stroke in the direction of the two parallel guard posts (6). During the free sliding stroke, the position of the guard rod (10) on the guard post (6) is locked by the adjustable locking handle (9).

[0009] A rolling support frame is also provided on the bearing rolling surface of the flat rolling roller assembly.

[0010] A method for rapid positioning and anti-tipping of a steel coil turning machine, the method being based on the aforementioned rapid positioning and anti-tipping device for the turning machine; Step 1: Flip the vertical support platform of the unloaded coil turning machine to a horizontal position; Step 2: Hoist the steel coil onto the vertical support platform and place it on the bottom foot of the steel coil. The placement position should be close to the support surface of the horizontal support platform of the steel coil located in the vertical direction. Step 3: A rolling support frame is added between the steel coil and the horizontal support platform for operation between the steel coil and the horizontal support platform after the steel coil is flipped to a horizontal position. On the one hand, the rolling support frame protects the flat rolling roller group, and on the other hand, it helps the steel coil to be horizontally rolled and transported on the flat rolling roller group. Step 4: Open the quick clamps on the two slide rails, move the quick positioning mechanism along the slide rails toward the steel coil until the anti-tipping frame of the anti-tipping mechanism abuts against the side of the steel coil, and lock the quick clamps to prevent the steel coil from tipping over. Step 5: The flipping platform drives the coil turning machine to flip the steel coil, changing the steel coil from a vertical position to a horizontal position. The coil is then moved off the coil turning machine from the flat rolling roller group of the horizontal bearing platform of the steel coil by external force; return to step 1.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this invention compared to the prior art are: The quick positioning and anti-tipping device for the turning machine of the present invention can be fixed quickly and positioned freely.

[0012] This invention fixes the anti-tipping device onto a quick-positioning device. The protective height is adjusted according to the outer diameter of the steel coil. The quick-positioning part is slid until the steel coil is flush with the anti-tipping device, and the handle is pulled to secure it, allowing the steel coil to be flipped. Because the anti-tipping device fits tightly against the steel coil, it effectively supports the coil, achieving the purpose of preventing it from tipping over.

[0013] The disadvantages of existing technology are that there is a gap between the bar stock and the coil, the bar stock cannot provide effective support for the coil, and there is still a risk of the coil tipping over during the feeding process.

[0014] Based on the width of the steel coil, the anti-tipping device is placed on both sides of the steel coil and fixed to ensure that the protective column is in close contact with the steel coil, providing effective support for the steel coil, thereby preventing the steel coil from tipping over and ensuring the safety of life and property.

[0015] The quick positioning and anti-tipping device for the turning machine of the present invention is reasonably designed, simple in structure, safe and reliable, easy to use and easy to maintain, and has great value for promotion and use. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The following is a detailed description of the quick positioning and anti-tipping device for the turning machine of the present invention, with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0019] As shown in the attached figure, the quick positioning and anti-tipping device for the turning machine of the present invention includes a slide rail (1), a fixing screw (2), a quick clamp (3) and a slider (4) in its quick positioning part.

[0020] The slide rail (1) is fixed on the turning machine (7).

[0021] The quick clamp (3) is fixed to the side of the slider (4) by the fixing screw (2). The slider (4) is fitted on the slide rail (1) and can slide freely. It can be fixed at any position on the slide rail (1) by the quick clamp (3).

[0022] The anti-tipping component shown in the figure includes a fixing bolt (5), a protective column (6), an adjustable locking handle (9), and a protective rod (10).

[0023] The protective column (6) is fixed to the slider (4) by fixing bolts (5).

[0024] The protective rod (10) is fitted onto the protective column (6) and can slide up and down. It is fixed by means of the adjustable locking handle (9).

[0025] The working process of this invention is as follows: 1. After the steel coil is placed on the rewinding machine, the protective column is fixed on the slider.

[0026] 2. Place the protective rod onto the protective column, visually inspect the outer diameter of the steel coil, adjust the height to a suitable level, and secure it using the adjustable locking handle.

[0027] 3. Move the slider towards the steel coil until the protective column is in contact with the end face of the steel coil.

[0028] 4. Secure the quick clamps to fix the coil in place, and the anti-tipping protection for the steel coil is complete.

[0029] This invention solves the problems of easy tipping and low positioning efficiency of steel coils during the coiling process by integrating a rapid positioning mechanism and an anti-tipping mechanism. Specific benefits include: Enhanced anti-tipping safety: The anti-tipping mechanism (including protective columns and guardrails) forms an adjustable frame that can effectively support the side of the steel coil, preventing it from tipping over or sliding during rotation or movement. This significantly reduces operational risks and ensures the safety of personnel and equipment.

[0030] Rapid Positioning and Adaptability: The rapid positioning mechanism employs a slide rail and slider design, along with quick-clamping devices, allowing operators to easily adjust the position of the anti-tipping frame to accommodate steel coils of different diameters. This modular design reduces tooling change time and improves the equipment's adaptability to different specifications of steel coils.

[0031] Improved operational efficiency: The quick-release mechanism and adjustable locking handle enable rapid locking and releasing of the slider and guard bar, simplifying the operation process and shortening the cycle of steel coil positioning and anti-tipping setup, thereby improving overall production efficiency.

[0032] Equipment protection and durability: The flat rolling roller group on the horizontal bearing platform of the steel coil, combined with the rolling bearing frame, reduces the direct friction between the steel coil and the roller group, which not only protects the surface of the roller group, but also facilitates the horizontal conveying of the steel coil and extends the service life of the equipment.

[0033] Method and process optimization: The method and steps are clear, forming a standardized operation process from no-load preparation to steel coil flipping and output, which ensures the consistency and reliability of operation and reduces human error.

[0034] Structural integration innovation: The rapid positioning mechanism and anti-tipping mechanism are directly integrated into the coil turning machine platform, avoiding the cumbersome process of installing anti-tipping devices separately in the past. The slide rail is fixed to the vertical bearing platform of the steel coil and works in conjunction with the wedge-shaped bearing seat, realizing the integration of positioning and bearing, which is relatively rare in existing patent literature.

[0035] Adjustable anti-tipping mechanism: The protective bar of the anti-tipping mechanism can slide freely on the protective column and be locked by an adjustable locking handle, allowing for fine-tuning of the protective position according to the size of the steel coil, providing dynamic adaptability. This adjustable design is superior to fixed anti-tipping bars and better meets the flexibility requirements of actual production.

[0036] Quick-locking technology: Employing a quick-clamping device and an adjustable locking handle, it achieves "one-button" locking, reducing the time wasted by traditional methods such as bolt tightening. This quick-locking mechanism is advanced in heavy industrial equipment and improves ergonomics.

[0037] Integrated Tilting Platform: The coil turning machine is fixedly connected to the tilting platform, enabling 90-degree reciprocating tilting with a high degree of automation. Combined with the planar rolling roller assembly, it achieves a smooth transition of the steel coil from an upright to a horizontal position, reducing the number of lifting operations and improving process continuity.

[0038] Advanced features of the method: The method is based on device hardware, emphasizes the use of the rolling support frame and the anti-tipping frame's abutment operation, forming a complete anti-tipping solution, which reflects systematic innovation at the methodological level.

[0039] The present invention has the following advantages: High safety: The anti-tipping frame acts directly on the side of the steel coil, forming a physical barrier that effectively resists the inertial force during the overturning process, reducing the probability of tipping accidents and meeting industrial safety standards.

[0040] High versatility: With the adjustable design of the slide rail and slider, as well as the free sliding stroke of the guard rod, the device can be used for steel coils of various sizes, reducing the need for special tooling and lowering equipment investment costs.

[0041] Easy to operate: The use of quick clamps and adjustable locking handles allows operators to complete positioning and locking without tools, reducing training time and operational complexity.

[0042] Low maintenance costs: The flat rolling roller assembly and rolling support frame reduce direct wear, and the modular design of the components facilitates replacement and maintenance, extending the equipment's lifespan.

[0043] Improved production efficiency: The entire positioning and anti-tipping process can be completed in a few minutes, saving a lot of time compared to traditional methods, making it particularly suitable for high-frequency, small-batch steel coil processing scenarios.
