Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of ring forging transfer technology, and specifically to a ring forging directional transfer device. Background Technology

[0002] Ring forgings are ring-shaped metal parts made by forging processes. They are widely used in aerospace, energy, chemical, and machinery fields. Once manufactured, ring forgings need to be transferred to a warehouse for storage.

[0003] Chinese Patent No. CN119079434A discloses a reciprocating directional transfer device for ring forgings, including a stop plate, a push rod, a lifting block, a control mechanism, and a lifting mechanism. When the ring forging is placed on the placement plate and the lifting block is pressed down, the lifting mechanism can drive the stop rod to move, which in turn causes the first spring to drive the stop plate to move outward, thereby pressing against the inner wall of the ring forging to fix it. When the railcar moves to the designated position, under the action of the fixed rack, the connecting rack is driven to move, which in turn causes the lifting mechanism to move in the opposite direction, causing the stop plate to retract and the lifting block to rise, making it convenient for workers to take out the ring forging.

[0004] However, the existing technology has the following drawbacks: it still requires manual labor or the use of robotic arms to place the ring forgings on the placement tray. This necessitates moving the ring forgings to be transferred to the vicinity of the placement tray in advance, increasing the workload of the workers. Furthermore, when the placement tray transports the ring forgings to the end of the track, workers still need to remove the ring forgings. If the ring forgings are stacked, manual removal is difficult due to their large overall mass, making it hard to ensure their stability and causing them to tip over, posing a safety hazard. In addition, the existing technology requires the cooperation of a running track to realize the ring forging transfer function. Since the running track is long, it occupies a lot of space and floor space, which will affect the layout and use of other equipment. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the problems existing in the background art by proposing a directional transfer device for ring forgings.

[0032] Example 1, as Figures 1-4 as well as Figure 7 As shown, the present invention proposes a ring forging directional transfer device, which includes a moving mechanism, a conveying mechanism, a picking mechanism and a placing mechanism;

[0033] The moving mechanism includes an intelligent vehicle 1 and a support frame 2. There are two intelligent vehicles 1, and the support frame 2 is mounted on the intelligent vehicle 1. The support frame 2 is equipped with a controller 33. The intelligent vehicle 1 is a flat-top remote-controlled electric flatcar. Its load capacity is 1-100 tons, and it can realize the transfer and conveying function of ring forgings. The flat-top remote-controlled electric flatcar is existing technology. Its specific structure and how to operate its movement are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.

[0034] The conveying mechanism includes a chassis 4, a turntable 3, a motor a8, and a gear 9. The chassis 4 is mounted on the intelligent vehicle 1. The top of the intelligent vehicle 1 has an internally threaded pipe, and bolts are installed on the chassis 4. The bolts engage with the internally threaded pipe to mount the chassis 4 on the top of the intelligent vehicle 1. The internally threaded pipe has a certain height, which allows the chassis 4 to move to a position above the stacked ring forgings, facilitating the picking up of the stacked ring forgings. The turntable 3 is rotatably mounted on the chassis 4, and the motor a8 is mounted on the intelligent vehicle 1. The upper part is connected to the turntable 3 for transmission. The outer circumferential surface of the turntable 3 is provided with a toothed ring. The output end of the motor a8 is connected to a gear 9 that meshes with the toothed ring. The center of the turntable 3 and the base 4 is provided with aligned circular openings. The circular openings facilitate the picking mechanism to pass through and pick up the ring forging. The turntable 3 has multiple sets of clamping components distributed in a circle. Each set of clamping components is slidably connected to the turntable 3. The support frame 2 is provided with a telescopic component a11 that pushes the clamping components toward the axis of the turntable 3. The clamping components facilitate the clamping and fixing of the picked-up ring forging.

[0035] It should be noted that motor a8 drives gear 9 to rotate counterclockwise (refer to...). Figure 1Gear 9 drives the rotating disk 3, which meshes with it, to rotate clockwise intermittently. The rotating disk 3 rotates 1 / N angle each time, where N is the number of clamping components.

[0036] The picking mechanism is mounted on the support frame 2 and includes a lifting assembly, a box a15, an inner support plate 22, a spring a20, pressure rollers 19, a guide plate 18, a rotating block 17, and a motor b7. The lifting assembly is connected to the box a15. The rotating block 17 is rotatably mounted inside the box a15. The motor b7 is mounted on the box a15 and its output end is connected to the rotating block 17. Multiple pressure rollers 19 are provided and are circumferentially mounted on the rotating block 17. A retaining ring is provided inside the box a15, and the retaining ring has circumferentially distributed sliding openings. A sliding plate is connected to the guide plate 18 and is slidably connected to the sliding port. The guide plate 18 is arc-shaped and contacts the pressure wheel 19. Baffles are provided at both ends of the guide plate 18 to prevent the pressure wheel 19 from detaching from the guide plate 18. One end of the sliding plate is connected to the inner wall of the box a15 through a spring a20. A moving port 1501 is opened on the box a15. The sliding plate is connected to the inner support plate 22 through a connecting block. The surface of the inner support plate 22 is provided with a rubber layer, which can increase the friction between it and the inner wall of the ring forging. Stops 23 are evenly provided on the inner support plate 22.

[0037] It should be noted that the lifting assembly controls the box body a15 to move downwards, which in turn moves the inner support plate 22 downwards, causing the inner support plate 22 to move to the inside of the ring forging until the bottom of the inner support plate 22 touches the ground. Then, motor b7 is activated, and motor b7 drives the rotating block 17 to rotate counterclockwise (refer to...). Figure 3 The rotating block 17 drives the surrounding pressure rollers 19 to perform counterclockwise circular motion, causing the surrounding pressure rollers 19 to press against the guide plate 18. The guide plate 18 drives the inner support plate 22 to move through the sliding plate, causing the inner support plate 22 to spread outwards. This causes the inner support plate 22 to press against the inner wall of the ring forging. By utilizing the friction between the inner support plate 22 and the ring forging, the ring forging can be moved upwards with the inner support plate 22, thus realizing the picking function of the ring forging.

[0038] It is worth noting that the spacing between adjacent stop blocks 23 is greater than the thickness of the ring forging, and the thickness of stop block 23 is less than the thickness of the spacer block 32 between the ring forgings; when the inner support plate 22 is pressing the stacked ring forgings, the stop block 23 will be located between adjacent ring forgings.

[0039] It should be noted that when workers are stacking ring forgings, they need to ensure that there is a certain distance between the pad and the inner wall of the ring forging. The length of the stop block 23 is relatively short, so that when the inner support plate 22 presses against the inner wall of the stacked ring forging, the stop block 23 will not collide with the pad even if it is directly facing the pad (the pad here is not the pad 32 inside the box b29, but the pad placed by the workers when stacking the ring forgings. To distinguish it, the pad here is not labeled).

[0040] The placement mechanism is located on the support frame 2 and is used to place the pad block 32 on the ring forging.

[0041] Example 2, as Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, this invention proposes a ring forging directional transfer device. Compared to Embodiment 1, this embodiment further details the structure of the clamping assembly. The clamping assembly includes a conveying plate 5, a motor C25, a bidirectional lead screw 26, a moving block, and a clamping plate 10. The conveying plate 5 is slidably connected to the turntable 3. A groove 501 is provided on the conveying plate 5. The bidirectional lead screw 26 is rotatably disposed inside the groove 501. The motor C25 is disposed on the conveying plate 5, and its output end is connected to the bidirectional lead screw 26. The moving block is slidably disposed inside the groove 501 and threadedly connected to the bidirectional lead screw 26. The moving block is connected to the clamping plate 10. A push plate 6 is connected to the conveying plate 5. The telescopic component a11 includes, but is not limited to, devices such as cylinders. One end of the telescopic component a11 is connected to a magnetic component 35 that is magnetically attracted to the push plate 6. The magnetic component 35 includes, but is not limited to, structures with magnetic attraction functions such as electromagnets. The specific structure of the magnetic component 35 includes a shell connected to the telescopic component a11 and an electromagnet located inside the shell. A sponge layer 12 is provided on the clamping plate 10. The sponge layer 12 can prevent the clamping plate 10 from rigidly clamping the ring forging, which would cause deformation of the ring forging. At the same time, the sponge layer 12 can increase the friction between the clamping plate 10 and the ring forging, ensuring the stability of the clamping. A photoelectric sensor 24 is provided on the clamping plate 10.

[0042] In this embodiment, when the clamping assembly rotates to the telescopic component a11, the telescopic component a11 drives the magnetic component 35 to move. The magnetic component 35 first contacts and magnetically attracts the push plate 6, and then pushes the push plate 6 to move. The push plate 6 drives the conveyor plate 5 to move. When the telescopic component a11 reaches its maximum extension state, the conveyor plate 5 stops moving. At this time, the conveyor plate 5 is located directly below the ring forging (the width of the conveyor plate 5 is greater than the diameter of the circular opening at the center of the turntable 3 and the chassis 4; when the conveyor plate 5 moves to below the picking mechanism, the turntable 3 can support the conveyor plate 5, see reference). Figure 2 When the ring forging falls onto the conveyor plate 5, the motor C25 drives the bidirectional lead screw 26 to rotate, causing the moving blocks on both sides to move towards each other. The moving blocks drive the clamping plates 10 on both sides to move towards each other, thus clamping and fixing the ring forging. Then, the telescopic component A11 drives the magnetic component 35 to reset. The magnetic component 35 drives the push plate 6 to reset through magnetic attraction. The push plate 6 drives the conveyor plate 5 to reset. The conveyor plate 5 drives the ring forging picked up by the picking mechanism to reset together. (After the conveyor plate 5 is reset, the telescopic component A11 drives the magnetic component 35 to continue to reset. At this time, the magnetic component 35 is de-energized, loses its magnetism, and separates from the push plate 6.)

[0043] It should be noted that the multiple clamping components are numbered 1, 2, 3...n in counter-clockwise order (refer to...). Figure 1The photoelectric sensor 24 is numbered 1, 2, 3...n according to the corresponding clamping components; the transfer device in this patent is in its initial state ( Figure 1 (in the state), clamping component number 1 is facing magnetic component 35.

[0044] It is worth noting that the photoelectric sensor 24 is located on the clamping plate 10 near the top. If the topmost ring forging blocks the signal transmission between the photoelectric sensors 24 numbered 1, it means that the ring forging cannot continue to be stacked on the clamping assembly numbered 1. The photoelectric sensor 24 numbered 1 sends a signal to the controller 33, and the controller 33 controls the telescopic component a11 to stop pushing the clamping assembly numbered 1 to move. At the same time, when the clamping assembly numbered 1 moves to the placement mechanism, the controller 33 controls the placement mechanism not to perform the pad 32 placement action on the clamping assembly numbered 1.

[0045] Example 3, as Figures 1-2 As shown, the present invention proposes a ring forging directional transfer device. Compared with Embodiment 2, this embodiment also details the structure of the lifting assembly. The lifting assembly includes a motor d13, a lifting screw 16, and a guide rod. The motor d13 is mounted on the support frame 2 and its output end is connected to the lifting screw 16. Both the lifting screw 16 and the guide rod are rotatably connected to the support frame 2. A nut block 21 and a guide block are connected to the box body a15. The lifting screw 16 is threadedly connected to the nut block 21. The guide block is slidably connected to the guide rod. A camera 34 is provided at the bottom of the box body.

[0046] It is worth noting that the controller 33 is equipped with a display screen, and the camera 34 is used to capture the position of the ring forging and send the image signal back to the controller 33. The controller 33 then sends the signal to the display screen for display, so that the operator can observe whether the inner support plate 22 has moved above the ring forging.

[0047] In this embodiment, when the inner support plate 22 moves above the ring forging, the controller 33 activates the motor d13, which drives the lifting screw 16 to rotate clockwise (see reference). Figure 1 This causes the nut block 21 to drive the box body a15 and the inner support plate 22 to descend (the guide rod and guide block together realize the limiting and guiding function of the box body a15), so that the inner support plate 22 descends to the inside of the ring forging until the inner support plate 22 contacts the ground. Then the controller 33 controls the picking mechanism to pick up the ring forging. After that, the controller 33 controls the motor d13 to rotate counterclockwise, so that the lifting screws 16 on both sides rotate counterclockwise, so that the picking mechanism moves up and resets.

[0048] It is worth noting that after the picking mechanism moves the ring forging upward and resets, the bottom end of the inner support plate 22 is flush with the top end of the clamping plate 10.

[0049] Example 4, as Figure 6As shown, the present invention proposes a ring forging directional transfer device. Compared with Embodiment 3, this embodiment further details the structure of the placement mechanism. The placement mechanism includes a telescopic component b28, a plate a, a box b29, pads 32, a plate b31, a plate c14, a telescopic component c27, and a spring b30. Multiple pads b29 are arranged circumferentially on the plate c14. Multiple pads 32 are located inside the box b29 and are arranged side-by-side. The plate b31 is slidably disposed inside the box b29. b30 is connected between plate b31 and the inner wall of box b29. Telescopic device b is located on box b29 and its output end is connected to a push rod. Telescopic component b28 includes, but is not limited to, devices such as cylinders. Telescopic component c27 is located on support frame 2 and connected to plate c14. An opening 1401 is opened on plate c14 and is located at one end of box b29. An ultrasonic sensor is provided at the bottom of plate c14. The ultrasonic sensor emits ultrasonic pulses, measures the time it takes for the sound waves to reflect back, and calculates the distance.

[0050] It should be noted that the top of the box body b29 is equipped with a removable cover plate, which makes it easy to remove the cover plate and add padding block 32 inside the box body b29.

[0051] In this embodiment, the elastic force of spring b30 presses against plate b31, which in turn presses against pad 32 inside box b29. This causes pad 32 to press against the inner wall of box b29. The clamping force between pad 32 and box b29, as well as between pads 32 themselves, achieves the clamping function of pad 32 at opening 1401, ensuring that pad 32 at opening 1401 can only fall off under the pushing action of the push rod. When the clamping assembly carrying the ring forging moves to below the placement mechanism, the telescopic component c27 drives plate c14 downwards, and the ultrasonic sensor can... The distance between the monitoring plate c14 and the topmost ring forging on the clamping assembly is monitored. When the distance between the two reaches the threshold (the thickness value of the pad 32), the telescopic component c27 stops driving the plate c14 to move down. At this time, the telescopic component b28 works (the telescopic component c27 and the telescopic component b28 include, but are not limited to, cylinders and other devices). The telescopic component b28 drives the push rod at its output end to move, and uses the push rod to push the pad 32 to move, so that the pad 32 passes through the opening 1401 and falls on the ring forging to realize the automatic placement function of the pad 32, which facilitates the stacking of the ring forging on the conveyor plate 5.

[0052] It should be noted that all electronic devices in this patent are wirelessly controlled by controller 33 (except for intelligent vehicle 1).

[0053] In summary, the present invention can be applied to a single ring forging placed on the ground or ring forgings stacked on the ground.

[0054] When handling stacked ring forgings (the operator must ensure that the overall height of the stacked ring forgings is lower than the height of the chassis 4 from the ground, and that each group of stacked ring forgings is placed side by side with a certain distance between adjacent groups), the operator controls the intelligent vehicle 1 to move. The intelligent vehicle 1 moves the entire device to the production point of the ring forgings, aligning the space between the two intelligent vehicles 1 with the ring forgings. Then, the operator controls the intelligent vehicle 1 to move, using camera 34 to capture the position of the ring forgings, facilitating the accurate movement of the inner support plate 22 above the ring forgings. When the inner support plate 22 moves above the ring forgings, the intelligent vehicle 1 stops moving, and the operator inputs a "loading command" to the controller 33. The controller 33 controls the motor d13 to work, and the motor d13 drives the lifting screw 16 to rotate synchronously clockwise (refer to...). Figure 1 This causes the nut block 21 to lower the box a15 and the inner support plate 22 (the guide rod, in conjunction with the guide block, achieves the limiting and guiding function of the box a15), causing the inner support plate 22 to lower to the inside of the ring forging until the bottom end of the inner support plate 22 contacts the ground. Then, the controller 33 controls the motor b7 to start, and the motor b7 drives the rotating block 17 to rotate counterclockwise (refer to...). Figure 3 The rotating block 17 drives the surrounding pressure rollers 19 to perform a counterclockwise circular motion, causing the surrounding pressure rollers 19 to press against the guide plate 18. The guide plate 18 drives the inner support plate 22 to move through the sliding plate, causing the inner support plate 22 to spread outwards and press against the inner wall of the ring forging (at this time, the stop block 23 moves between adjacent ring forgings). Then, the controller 33 controls the motor d13 to rotate counterclockwise, causing the picking mechanism to move upwards and reset. Using the friction between the inner support plate 22 and the ring forging, the ring forging is lifted to achieve the picking function of the ring forging.

[0055] After the picking mechanism moves the stacked ring forgings upward and resets, the controller 33 activates the telescopic component a11. The telescopic component a11 moves the magnetic component 35. When the magnetic component 35 contacts the push plate 6, they attract each other magnetically. The magnetic component 35 pushes the push plate 6 to move, and the push plate 6 moves the conveyor plate 5. When the telescopic component a11 reaches its maximum extension, the conveyor plate 5 moves directly below the picking mechanism. Then, the controller 33 controls the motor d13 to rotate the lifting screws 16 on both sides clockwise, causing the picking mechanism to move the stacked ring forgings downward until the bottom ring forging contacts the conveyor plate 5. At this time, the motor d13 stops working, and at the same time, the controller 33 controls the motor b7 to rotate the rotating block 17 clockwise (see reference). Figure 3This causes the pressure roller 19 to stop pressing the guide plate 18. Under the elastic force of the spring a20, the slide plate returns to its original position, and the slide plate drives the inner support plate 22 to return to its original position. At this time, the inner support plate 22 no longer presses the inner wall of the ring forging, thus realizing the function of placing the ring forging (at this time, the topmost ring forging just blocks the signal reception between the photoelectric sensors 24, indicating that the ring forging on the conveyor plate 5 has reached the maximum placement amount). Then, the motor c25 is controlled to drive the bidirectional lead screw 26 to rotate clockwise (refer to...). Figure 5 This causes the moving blocks on both sides to drive the clamping plates 10 to move in opposite directions, realizing the clamping function of the ring forging and ensuring the stability of the ring forging placed on the conveyor plate 5; then, the motor d13 is controlled to drive the lifting screws 16 on both sides to rotate counterclockwise, causing the picking mechanism to move upward and reset, the telescopic component a11 drives the magnetic component 35 to reset, and the magnetic attraction between the magnetic component 35 and the push plate 6 pulls the push plate 6 to reset, the push plate 6 drives the conveyor plate 5 to reset, the conveyor plate 5 drives the ring forging to reset, and when the conveyor plate 5 is reset, the telescopic component a11 drives the magnetic component 35 to continue moving. At this time, the magnetic component 35 is de-energized, loses its magnetism and separates from the push plate 6. Then the controller 33 emits an alarm sound (the controller 33 has a built-in buzzer and a voice synthesis chip (such as SYN6288)) to remind the operator to control the intelligent car 1 to continue moving to the next set of ring forgings; then the motor a8 drives the gear 9 to rotate counterclockwise (refer to Figure 1 Gear 9 drives the turntable 3, which meshes with it, to rotate clockwise until the clamping assembly number 2 rotates to face the magnetic component 35. Repeat the above "loading command" operation so that the picked-up ring forging is placed on the clamping assembly number 2. This process continues until all numbered clamping assemblies have ring forgings placed on them. The controller 33 will then issue a "loading command completed" prompt.

[0056] Afterwards, the intelligent vehicle 1 transports the ring forging to the warehouse, and then inputs an "unloading command" to the controller 33. The controller 33 first uses the telescopic component a11 in conjunction with the magnetic component 35 to push the conveyor plate 5 below the picking mechanism, and then uses the lifting component to drive the picking mechanism to move down. The inner support plate 22 squeezes and clamps the inner wall of the ring forging. Then, the motor c25 is controlled to work, so that the clamping plate 10 no longer clamps the ring forging. Then, the telescopic device a is controlled to drive the conveyor plate 5 to reset. After that, the lifting component in conjunction with the picking mechanism places the ring forging on the ground, realizing the automatic unloading function of the ring forging. There is no need for manual unloading by the staff, which reduces the workload of the staff, improves the unloading efficiency of the ring forging, and avoids the ring forging from tipping over.

[0057] When handling a single ring forging, the operator needs to place the ring forgings side by side, maintaining a certain distance between adjacent ring forgings. Then, repeat the "loading instruction" process to place the single ring forging on the numbered clamping assemblies. When the clamping assemblies carry the ring forging to below the placement mechanism, the controller 33 controls the telescopic component c27 to operate. The telescopic component c27 moves the plate c14 downwards, which in turn moves the ultrasonic sensor on the plate c14 downwards. The ultrasonic sensor can monitor the topmost ring forging on the conveyor plate 5. The distance between the component and plate c14 is such that when the distance reaches a threshold (the thickness of the pad 32), the telescopic component c27 stops moving plate c14 downwards. At this time, the telescopic component b28 works, moving the push rod at its output end. The push rod pushes the pad 32, allowing it to pass through the opening 1401 and land on the ring forging, thus achieving the automatic placement function of the pad 32 and facilitating the stacking of the ring forging on the conveyor plate 5. After the push rod resets, the plate b31 is pushed to move under the elastic force of the spring b30. b31 pushes the remaining pad block 32 to move, so that the pad block 32 at the next position moves to the opening 1401; then repeat the above operation to automatically place the pad block 32 on each stacked ring forging, realizing the stacking function of the ring forging on the conveyor plate 5. When the topmost ring forging on the conveyor plate 5 blocks the signal transmission between the through-beam photoelectric sensors 24, it indicates that the stacking amount of ring forging on the conveyor plate 5 has reached the maximum. At this time, the through-beam photoelectric sensors 24 feed back to the controller 33. When the conveyor plate 5 rotates to the telescopic part at this point... When the conveyor plate 5 is at position a11, the telescopic component a11 does not work to prevent the continued stacking of ring forgings on the conveyor plate 5. At the same time, when the conveyor plate 5 at this position rotates to above the placement mechanism, the placement mechanism does not perform the placement action. When the maximum number of ring forgings is stacked on the conveyor plates 5 in all clamping assemblies, the controller 33 will issue a prompt message of "loading command ended". The operator can control the intelligent vehicle 1 to carry the ring forgings to the warehouse. After that, the operator can input the "unloading command" to the controller 33 to realize the automatic unloading function of the ring forgings.

Various changes can be made within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
