Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of billet processing technology, and in particular to an automated billet sawing and detection device. Background Technology
[0002] The automatic billet sawing device is an intelligent industrial equipment that integrates mechanical cutting and quality inspection. It is mainly used for the precise cutting of continuously cast billets or primary rolled billets in steel production. It primarily employs CNC horizontal band saw technology, using sensors to detect the billet dimensions in real time and automatically adjust the sawing parameters. Compared to traditional manual cutting, it increases efficiency by 3-5 times and avoids material waste caused by operational errors.
[0003] Existing automatic billet sawing devices have achieved efficient cutting, but significant shortcomings remain in the inspection process. After cutting the billet, manual sampling of the cross-section quality is still required. Although the equipment possesses high-precision cutting capabilities, it lacks a real-time quality feedback mechanism. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This invention discloses an automated billet sawing and inspection device, aiming to solve the problem that manual sampling inspection of the cross-sectional quality is still required after the billet has been cut. Although the equipment has high-precision cutting capabilities, it lacks a real-time quality feedback mechanism.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] An automated billet sawing and inspection device includes an automated sawing device and a side baffle. The side baffle is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the automated sawing device. The device also includes: an inspection mechanism installed on one side of the side baffle and connected to the outlet of the automated sawing device; a limiting mechanism fixedly installed on the inspection mechanism; and a feeding mechanism located at the bottom of the inspection mechanism.
[0007] The detection mechanism includes: guide groove one and guide groove two, which are arranged adjacently and have different inclination directions; guide groove three, which is arranged adjacent to the output end of guide groove two and has the opposite inclination direction to guide groove one; line scan camera one, located at the top of guide groove two; line scan camera two, located at the top of guide groove three; motor, fixedly connected to the back of guide groove three; and central support, fixedly connected to the output end of the motor, with multiple baffles fixedly connected at equal intervals around the outer periphery of the central support.
[0008] The detection mechanism further includes: a camera bracket 1, fixed to one side of the outer wall of the guide groove 2, and a line scan camera 1 fixedly mounted on the camera bracket 1; a camera bracket 2, fixed to one side of the outer wall of the guide groove 3, and a line scan camera 2 fixedly mounted on the camera bracket 2.
[0009] The detection mechanism further includes: a motor bracket, which is fixedly connected to the back of the guide groove three, and the motor is fixedly installed on the motor bracket; a base, which is fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of the guide groove three and the guide groove two; and multiple protrusions, which are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the guide groove three at equal intervals.
[0010] With the addition of a detection mechanism, after the steel billet segments are cut, they fall sequentially into the guide trough 3 along the guide trough 1 and guide trough 2. Linear scan camera 1 can quickly capture the outer wall of the steel billet segment rolling in guide trough 2, while line scan camera 2 can quickly capture the latest cross-section of the steel billet segment, achieving complete detection of the sawing effect. This facilitates the rapid screening of defective products, replacing subsequent manual inspection and improving work efficiency.
[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the feeding mechanism includes: guide groove four and guide groove five, which are fixedly connected, and the input ends of the two are respectively connected to the output end of guide groove three; slider one, which is fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of guide groove five; and slider two, which is fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of guide groove four.
[0012] The feeding mechanism also includes: an electric linear guide rail, which is fixedly connected to the ground, and slider one and slider two move simultaneously on the electric linear guide rail; a feeding trough one, whose input end is connected to the output end of guide trough five;
[0013] The feeding mechanism further includes: a backing plate, which is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the feeding trough one; and a feeding trough two, which is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the user feeding trough one, and whose input end is connected to the output end of the guide trough four.
[0014] The system is equipped with a feeding mechanism. If either the linear array camera 1 or the linear array camera 2 detects an abnormality in the outer wall or cross-section of the billet segment, the electric linear guide rail will drive the guide groove 4 and guide groove 5 to switch positions. After the billet segment enters the guide groove 4, it will fall down along the feeding groove 2 under the action of the abutment plate and translation. This completes the automatic screening and feeding of abnormal billet segments, replacing manual operation and reducing the difficulty of manual operation.
[0015] In a preferred embodiment, the limiting mechanism includes: a rubber pad, fixedly laid on the inner wall of the bottom end of the guide groove two; two square through slots, which are disposed through the inner wall of the bottom end of the guide groove two; an air rod, fixedly connected to the outer wall of the bottom end of the guide groove two; and a U-shaped bracket, fixedly connected to the output end of the air rod.
[0016] The limiting mechanism further includes: two upright plates, which are fixedly connected to the two output ends of the U-shaped bracket, and the two upright plates are movably inserted into the square through groove; two soft pads, which are fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the two upright plates; and a limiting frame, which is fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of the guide groove and movably fits against the outer wall of the U-shaped bracket.
[0017] By setting a limiting mechanism, the vertical plate can be driven to move longitudinally in the square slot through the extension and retraction of the pneumatic rod output end of the limiting mechanism. When the vertical plate extends, it can provide a limiting effect on one side of the billet section, causing it to stop. The vertical plates at different positions can make the billet section stop on different surfaces, thereby assisting the line scan camera to fully cover the outer wall of the billet section.
[0018] As described above, an automated billet sawing and inspection device includes an automated sawing device and a side baffle. The side baffle is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the automated sawing device. The device also includes: a detection mechanism installed on one side of the side baffle and connected to the outlet of the automated sawing device; a limiting mechanism fixedly installed on the detection mechanism; and a feeding mechanism located at the bottom of the detection mechanism. The detection mechanism includes: a first guide groove and a second guide groove, which are adjacent to each other and have different inclination directions; a third guide groove, which is adjacent to the output end of the second guide groove and has an inclination direction opposite to that of the first guide groove; a first line scan camera located at the top of the second guide groove; a second line scan camera located at the top of the third guide groove; a motor fixedly connected to the back of the third guide groove; and a central support fixedly connected to the output end of the motor, with multiple baffles fixedly connected at equal intervals around the outer periphery of the central support. The automated billet sawing and inspection device provided by this invention achieves complete detection of the sawing effect, facilitating rapid screening of defective products, replacing subsequent manual inspection, and improving work efficiency.

[0025] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.
[0026] The automated billet sawing and inspection device disclosed in this invention is mainly used in the scenario of billet sawing and inspection.
[0027] Reference Figures 1-3 An automated billet sawing and detection device includes an automated sawing device 1 and a side baffle 2. The side baffle 2 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the automated sawing device 1. The device also includes: a detection mechanism 3, which is installed on one side of the side baffle 2 and connected to the outlet of the automated sawing device 1; a limiting mechanism 4, which is fixedly installed on the detection mechanism 3; and a feeding mechanism 5, which is located at the bottom of the detection mechanism 3.
[0028] The detection mechanism 3 includes: guide groove 1 301 and guide groove 2 302, which are arranged adjacently and have different inclination directions; guide groove 3 308, which is arranged adjacent to the output end of guide groove 2 302 and has the opposite inclination direction to guide groove 1 301; line scan camera 1 303, located at the top of guide groove 2 302; line scan camera 2 305, located at the top of guide groove 3 308; motor 312, fixedly connected to the back of guide groove 3 308; and central support 313, fixedly connected to the output end of motor 312, with multiple baffles 309 fixedly connected at equal intervals on the outer periphery of central support 313. After being cut, the steel billet segments fall sequentially along the guide grooves 1 301 and 2 302 to the guide grooves 301 and 302. Within guide groove 308, due to the different inclination directions and angles of guide groove 1 301, guide groove 2 302, and guide groove 308, the billet segment's new cross-section faces upwards when it is within guide groove 308. Based on the rotation of multiple baffles 309 driven by motor 312, when the baffles 309 are located at the bottom of guide groove 308, they provide a limiting effect, allowing the billet segment to briefly remain within guide groove 308. Thus, line scan camera 1 303 can quickly capture the outer wall of the billet segment rolling within guide groove 2 302, while line scan camera 2 305 can quickly capture the latest cross-section of the billet segment, achieving complete detection of the sawing effect. This facilitates rapid screening of defective products, replacing subsequent manual inspection and improving work efficiency.
[0029] Reference Figure 2 In a preferred embodiment, the detection mechanism 3 further includes: a camera bracket 304, fixed to one side of the outer wall of the guide groove 302, and a line scan camera 303 fixedly mounted on the camera bracket 304; a camera bracket 306, fixed to one side of the outer wall of the guide groove 308, and a line scan camera 305 fixedly mounted on the camera bracket 306.
[0030] Reference Figure 3 In a preferred embodiment, the detection mechanism 3 further includes: a motor bracket 311, fixedly connected to the back of the guide groove 308, and a motor 312 fixedly mounted on the motor bracket 311; a base 307, fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of the guide groove 308 and the guide groove 2 302; and multiple protrusions 310, equidistantly fixedly connected to the inner wall of the guide groove 308. The arrangement of the multiple protrusions 310 can slow down the downward speed of the billet segment in the guide groove 308, thereby reducing the impact force of the billet segment on each baffle 309 and ensuring the service life of the multiple baffles 309.
[0031] Reference Figure 4In a preferred embodiment, the limiting mechanism 4 includes: a rubber pad 401, which is fixedly laid on the inner wall of the bottom end of the guide groove 302; two square through slots 402, which are disposed through the inner wall of the bottom end of the guide groove 302; an air rod 403, which is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the bottom end of the guide groove 302; and a U-shaped bracket 406, which is fixedly connected to the output end of the air rod 403.
[0032] Reference Figure 4 In a preferred embodiment, the limiting mechanism 4 further includes: two upright plates 405, respectively fixedly connected to the two output ends of the U-shaped bracket 406, and the two upright plates 405 are respectively movably inserted into the square through groove 402; two soft pads 404, respectively fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the two upright plates 405; and a limiting frame 407, fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of the guide groove 302, and movably fitted against the outer wall of the U-shaped bracket 406. The limiting mechanism 4, through the extension and retraction of the output end of the air rod 403, can drive the upright plates 405 to move longitudinally within the square through groove 402. When retracted to the lowest position... When in place, the upright plate 405 can be completely housed in the square through slot 402. At the same time, based on the rubber pad 401 and the small tilt angle of the guide slot 302, the rolling speed of the billet segment in the guide slot 302 is slowed down. When the upright plate 405 extends, it can provide a limiting effect on one side of the billet segment, causing it to stop. The upright plate 405 at different positions can make the billet segment stop on different surfaces, thereby assisting the line scan camera 303 to fully cover the outer wall of the billet segment. In addition, based on the setting of the soft pad 404, a buffering effect can be provided to prevent the billet segment from rebounding and shifting after hitting the outer wall of the upright plate 405.
[0033] Reference Figure 5 In a preferred embodiment, the feeding mechanism 5 includes: a fourth guide groove 501 and a fifth guide groove 502, which are fixedly connected, and the input ends of the two are respectively connected to the output end of the third guide groove 308; a first slider 503, which is fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of the fifth guide groove 502; and a second slider 508, which is fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of the fourth guide groove 501.
[0034] Reference Figure 5 In a preferred embodiment, the feeding mechanism 5 further includes: an electric linear guide rail 504, which is fixedly connected to the ground, and slider 1 503 and slider 2 508 move simultaneously on the electric linear guide rail 504; and a feeding trough 1 506, the input end of which is connected to the output end of guide trough 502.
[0035] Reference Figure 5In a preferred embodiment, the feeding mechanism 5 further includes: a stop plate 505, fixedly connected to one side outer wall of the feeding trough 506; and a feeding trough 507, fixedly connected to one side outer wall of the user feeding trough 506, with its input end connected to the output end of the guide trough 501. In the feeding mechanism 5, if the line scan camera 303 or the line scan camera 305 detects an abnormality in the outer wall or cross-section of the billet section, the electric linear guide rail 504 drives the slider 503 and the slider 508 to move, thereby driving the guide trough 501. Switching the position of guide trough 502, guide trough 4 501 is aligned with guide trough 3 308. At this time, the abutment plate 505 abuts against the tail end of guide trough 4 501. After the steel billet segment enters guide trough 4 501, it is stopped in guide trough 4 501 by the limiting action of the abutment plate 505. As guide trough 4 501 moves back to its original position and connects with discharge trough 2 507, the steel billet segment can fall down along discharge trough 2 507. This completes the automatic screening and discharge of abnormal steel billet segments, replacing manual operation and reducing the difficulty of manual operation.
[0036] Working principle: After being cut, the steel billet segment falls sequentially into guide trough 308 along guide trough 1 (301) and guide trough 2 (302). Due to the different inclination directions and angles of guide troughs 1 (301), 2 (302), and 3 (308), the new cross-section of the steel billet segment faces upwards when it is in guide trough 3 (308). The motor 312 drives multiple baffles 309 to rotate. When the baffles 309 are at the bottom of guide trough 3 (308), they provide a limiting effect, allowing the steel billet segment to briefly remain in guide trough 3 (308). Thus, line scan camera 1 (303) can quickly capture the outer wall of the rolling steel billet segment in guide trough 2 (302), while line scan camera 2 (305) can quickly capture the latest cross-section of the steel billet segment, achieving complete detection of the sawing effect. This facilitates rapid screening of defective products, replacing subsequent manual inspection and improving work efficiency.

Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
