Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of auxiliary equipment for machining, and in particular to an automated turning device for mold steel billets. Background Technology

[0002] In the machining process of mold steel, it is usually necessary to first cut the mold steel blank into multiple steel blocks. Even after cutting, the volume and weight of the steel blocks are still relatively large. Before subsequent milling or finishing of the cut steel blocks, it is often necessary to adjust the placement of the steel blocks (i.e., flip them) to facilitate machining of different sides.

[0003] Currently, the turning of mold steel mainly relies on manual labor in conjunction with forklifts or gantry cranes. During the lifting and turning process, the steel blocks are prone to shaking or detaching from the hook, posing a risk of injuring workers or damaging equipment, which is a significant safety hazard. It also requires multiple adjustments to the position of the lifting equipment or the angle of the forklift, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, making it difficult to meet the needs of efficient production. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the issues of high risk and low efficiency in mold steel turning operations, this application provides an automated turning device for mold steel blanks.

[0005] The automated turning device for mold steel billets provided in this application adopts the following technical solution: An automated turning device for mold steel billets includes a fixed base and a movable base. The movable base is movable toward the fixed base. A receiving plate is rotatably mounted on the movable base. Two fork arms are fixed to one end of the receiving plate near the fixed base. A receiving plate is rotatably mounted on the fixed base. Two fork arms are fixed to one end of the receiving plate near the movable base.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, in the initial state, receiving plate one is in a horizontal state and fork arm one is in a vertical state. The mold steel is placed horizontally on the top surface of receiving plate one, and then receiving plate one is flipped towards the direction of the fixed seat. When receiving plate one is flipped to a vertical state, fork arm one is in a horizontal state, and the mold steel is placed vertically on the top surface of fork arm one. Then the moving seat is moved towards the direction of the fixed seat. At this time, fork arm two is in a horizontal state and receiving plate two is in a vertical state. Fork arm one and fork arm two are intersected, so that the mold steel is located on the top surface of fork arm two. The moving seat stops moving, and fork arm two drives the mold steel to flip upward. When fork arm two is flipped to a vertical state, receiving plate two is in a horizontal state, and the mold steel is placed horizontally on the top surface of receiving plate two, thus completing the flipping of the mold steel. No manual operation is required, the risk is low, and the flipping efficiency is high.

[0007] Preferably, a first rotary hydraulic cylinder is installed on the movable seat, and the rotation shaft of the first rotary hydraulic cylinder is fixedly connected to the side of the first receiving plate. A second rotary hydraulic cylinder is installed on the fixed seat, and the rotation shaft of the second rotary hydraulic cylinder is fixedly connected to the side of the second receiving plate.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, hydraulically driven mechanical flipping is used instead of hoisting, eliminating the risk of workpieces swaying and falling in the air, ensuring personnel safety, realizing automatic loading, flipping and transfer of workpieces, and reducing the labor intensity of workers.

[0009] Preferably, the receiving plate one includes a placement plate, and connecting plates are fixed on both sides of the placement plate. The end of the connecting plate is fixedly connected to the adjacent fork arm one. The thickness of the connecting plate is greater than the thickness of the placement plate. The structure of the receiving plate two is the same as that of the receiving plate one.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the thickness of the connecting plate is greater than the thickness of the placement plate, so as to facilitate the placement of the mold steel on the top surface of the connecting plate and the subsequent transfer of the mold steel.

[0011] Preferably, the movable seat includes a horizontally arranged mounting plate one, the side of which can fit against the top surface of the mounting plate one; the fixed seat includes a horizontally arranged mounting plate two, the side of which can fit against the top surface of the mounting plate two.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, when receiving plate one is rotated to a horizontal state, it can fit against the top surface of mounting plate one, and when receiving plate two is rotated to a horizontal state, it can fit against the top surface of mounting plate two, thereby ensuring that the mold steel is not easy to tip over when it is flipped to a horizontal state, thus ensuring personnel safety.

[0013] Preferably, the two connecting plates are provided with sliding grooves on their opposite inner sides. A sliding block is slidably mounted on the connecting plate along its own length direction through the sliding groove. A baffle is rotatably mounted on the sliding block. An abutment plate is mounted on the side of the baffle near the first fork arm. The abutment plate can abut against the side of the mold steel away from the placement plate. The connecting plate is provided with a moving component for driving the sliding block to move and a rotating component for driving the baffle to rotate.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the mold steel is placed horizontally on the top surface of the placement plate, so that the mold steel is in contact with the side of the first fork arm, so that the receiving plate can drive the mold steel to flip smoothly. Then, the baffle is rotated to be parallel to the first fork arm, so that the baffle moves towards the direction close to the mold steel. The abutment plate moves to the top of the mold steel and limits the mold steel, avoiding the possibility of the mold steel tipping over when it flips from a horizontal state to a vertical state.

[0015] Preferably, the moving component includes a reciprocating lead screw rotatably mounted in the sliding groove, a sliding block sleeved on the outer periphery of the reciprocating lead screw, the sliding block and the reciprocating lead screw being threadedly driven together, and a motor mounted on the connecting plate, the output end of the motor being coaxially and fixedly connected to the end of the reciprocating lead screw.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the motor is started, and the motor drives the reciprocating screw to rotate. The reciprocating screw drives the sliding block to move towards the direction close to the mold steel, so that when the baffle rotates to be parallel to the fork arm, the abutment plate can rotate to the top of the mold steel.

[0017] Preferably, a rotating rod is rotatably mounted on the sliding block, the baffle is sleeved and fixed to the outer periphery of the rotating rod, the rotating assembly includes a gear sleeved and fixed to the outer periphery of the rotating rod, a rack is slidably mounted on the sliding block along its own length direction, the rack meshes with the gear, a cylinder is mounted on the sliding block, and the piston rod end of the cylinder is fixedly connected to the end face of the rack.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the cylinder is started, and the cylinder drives the rack to move away from the first fork arm. The rack drives the gear to rotate, and the gear drives the rotating rod to rotate, which in turn drives the baffle to rotate to a state parallel to the first fork arm.

[0019] Preferably, an adjusting screw is rotatably mounted on the side of the baffle, the abutment plate is sleeved on the outer periphery of the adjusting screw, the abutment plate is threadedly connected to the adjusting screw, and a guide rod passing through the abutment plate is mounted on the side of the baffle.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, for mold steel of different thicknesses, the distance between the abutment plate and the baffle can be adjusted by rotating the adjusting screw, so that the abutment plate can fit against the side of the mold steel.

[0021] Preferably, a limiting block 1 and a limiting block 2 are fixed to the opposite inner sides of the two baffles, respectively. A magnetic block 1 is embedded and fixed on the side of the limiting block 1 away from the receiving plate 1, and a magnetic block 2 is embedded and fixed on the side of the limiting block 2 close to the receiving plate 1. The magnetic block 1 and the magnetic block 2 can attract each other.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, when both baffles are rotated to a horizontal state, limit block one and limit block two are in contact with each other, and magnetic block one and magnetic block two attract each other, making the two baffles more stable.

[0023] Preferably, a guide rail is provided below the movable seat, and a movable wheel is installed at the bottom of the movable seat, with the movable wheel slidably mounted on the guide rail.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the guide rail limits the movable seat, so that the movable seat always moves along the length of the guide rail toward or away from the fixed seat, so that the movable seat can smoothly transport the mold steel to the fixed seat.

[0025] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: Initially, receiving plate one is horizontal and fork arm one is vertical. The mold steel is placed horizontally on the top surface of receiving plate one, and then receiving plate one is flipped towards the direction of the fixed seat. When receiving plate one is flipped to the vertical position, fork arm one is horizontal, and the mold steel is placed vertically on the top surface of fork arm one. Then, the moving seat is moved towards the direction of the fixed seat. At this time, fork arm two is horizontal and receiving plate two is vertical. Fork arm one and fork arm two are intersected, so that the mold steel is located on the top surface of fork arm two. The moving seat stops moving, and fork arm two drives the mold steel to flip upward. When fork arm two is flipped to the vertical position, receiving plate two is horizontal, and the mold steel is placed horizontally on the top surface of receiving plate two, thus completing the flipping of the mold steel. No manual operation is required, the risk is low, and the flipping efficiency is high. The use of hydraulically driven mechanical tilting instead of hoisting eliminates the risk of workpieces swaying and falling in the air, ensuring personnel safety, and realizing automatic loading, tilting and transfer of workpieces, thus reducing the labor intensity of workers. After placing the mold steel horizontally on the top surface of the placement plate, make the mold steel fit against the side of the first fork arm so that the receiving plate can smoothly rotate the mold steel. Then rotate the baffle to be parallel to the first fork arm and move the baffle towards the mold steel. The abutment plate moves to the top of the mold steel and limits the mold steel to prevent it from tipping over when it is rotated from a horizontal to a vertical position.

[0031] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.

[0032] This application discloses an automated turning device for mold steel billets. (Refer to...) Figure 1 The automated turning equipment for mold steel billets includes a fixed base 1 and a movable base 2. The movable base 2 can move towards the fixed base 1. A guide rail 25 is provided below the movable base 2, and a movable wheel 26 is installed on the bottom of the movable base 2. The movable wheel 26 is slidably mounted on the guide rail 25.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 A receiving plate 21 is rotatably mounted on the movable base 2, and two fork arms 22 are fixed to one end of the receiving plate 21 near the fixed base 1. A rotary hydraulic cylinder 23 is mounted on the movable base 2, and the rotation shaft of the rotary hydraulic cylinder 23 is fixedly connected to the side of the receiving plate 21. The movable base 2 includes a horizontally arranged mounting plate 24, and the side of the receiving plate 21 can fit against the top surface of the mounting plate 24. A receiving plate 11 is rotatably mounted on the fixed base 1, and two fork arms 12 are fixed to one end of the receiving plate 11 near the movable base 2. A rotary hydraulic cylinder 13 is mounted on the fixed base 1, and the rotation shaft of the rotary hydraulic cylinder 13 is fixedly connected to the side of the receiving plate 11. The fixed base 1 includes a horizontally arranged mounting plate 14, and the side of the receiving plate 11 can fit against the top surface of the mounting plate 14.

[0034] Initially, receiving plate 21 is horizontal and fork arm 22 is vertical. The mold steel is placed horizontally on the top surface of receiving plate 21. Then, receiving plate 21 is flipped towards the fixed seat 1. When receiving plate 21 is flipped to the vertical position, fork arm 22 is horizontal, and the mold steel is placed vertically on the top surface of fork arm 22. Then, moving seat 2 is moved towards the fixed seat 1. At this time, fork arm 12 is horizontal and receiving plate 11 is vertical. Fork arm 22 and fork arm 12 intersect, so that the mold steel is located on the top surface of fork arm 12. Moving seat 2 stops moving, and fork arm 12 drives the mold steel to flip upward. When fork arm 12 is flipped to the vertical position, receiving plate 11 is horizontal, and the mold steel is placed horizontally on the top surface of receiving plate 11, thus completing the flipping of the mold steel. No manual operation is required, the risk is low, and the flipping efficiency is high.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The receiving plate 21 includes a placement plate 3, and connecting plates 4 are fixed on both sides of the placement plate 3. The end of the connecting plate 4 is fixedly connected to the adjacent fork arm 22, and the thickness of the connecting plate 4 is greater than the thickness of the placement plate 3.

[0036] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 Two connecting plates 4 have sliding grooves 31 on their opposite inner sides. Sliding blocks 32 are mounted on the connecting plates 4 along their length via the sliding grooves 31. A reciprocating screw 33 is rotatably mounted within the sliding grooves 31. The sliding blocks 32 are sleeved on the outer circumference of the reciprocating screw 33, and the sliding blocks 32 and the reciprocating screw 33 are threadedly connected. A motor 34 is mounted on the connecting plate 4, and the output end of the motor 34 is coaxially and fixedly connected to the end of the reciprocating screw 33. A rotating rod 35 is rotatably mounted on the sliding block 32. A baffle 5 is fixedly sleeved on the outer circumference of the rotating rod 35, and an abutment plate 51 is mounted on the side of the baffle 5 near the fork arm 22.

[0037] After placing the mold steel horizontally on the top surface of the placement plate 3, the mold steel is made to fit against the side of the fork arm 22 so that the receiving plate 21 can smoothly rotate the mold steel. Then, the baffle 5 is rotated to be parallel to the fork arm 22, so that the baffle 5 moves towards the direction of the mold steel. The abutment plate 51 moves to the top of the mold steel and limits the mold steel to prevent the mold steel from tipping over when it is rotated from a horizontal state to a vertical state.

[0038] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 A rack 36 is slidably mounted on the sliding block 32 along its own length direction, and a gear 37 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the rotating rod 35. The rack 36 and the gear 37 mesh with each other. A cylinder 38 is mounted on the sliding block 32, and the end of the piston rod of the cylinder 38 is fixedly connected to the end face of the rack 36.

[0039] The motor 34 is started, which drives the reciprocating screw 33 to rotate. The reciprocating screw 33 drives the sliding block 32 to move towards the mold steel. The cylinder 38 is started, which drives the rack 36 to move away from the fork arm 22. The rack 36 drives the gear 37 to rotate, and the gear 37 drives the rotating rod 35 to rotate, thereby causing the baffle 5 to rotate to a state parallel to the fork arm 22, so that the abutment plate 51 can rotate above the mold steel. Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 Limiting blocks 52 and 53 are fixed to the inner sides of the two baffles 5 respectively. A magnetic block 521 is embedded in the side of limiting block 52 away from receiving plate 21, and a magnetic block 531 is embedded in the side of limiting block 53 near receiving plate 21. Magnetic blocks 521 and 531 can attract each other. An adjusting screw 54 is rotatably mounted on the side of the baffle 5. An abutment plate 51 is sleeved on the outer circumference of the adjusting screw 54 and threadedly connected to the adjusting screw 54. A guide rod 55 is fixed to the side of the baffle 5, passing through the abutment plate 51. For mold steel of different thicknesses, the distance between the abutment plate 51 and the baffle 5 can be adjusted by rotating the adjusting screw 54, thereby allowing the abutment plate 51 to fit against the side of the mold steel.

[0040] The implementation principle of the automated mold steel billet flipping device in this application embodiment is as follows: In the initial state, the receiving plate 21 is in a horizontal state and the fork arm 22 is in a vertical state. The mold steel is placed horizontally on the top surface of the receiving plate 21, and then the receiving plate 21 is flipped towards the fixed seat 1. When the receiving plate 21 is flipped to a vertical state, the fork arm 22 is in a horizontal state, and the mold steel is placed vertically on the top surface of the fork arm 22. Then the moving seat 2 is moved towards the fixed seat 1. At this time, fork arm 22 is in a horizontal state, receiving plate 21 is in a vertical state, fork arm 12 and fork arm 22 intersect, so that the mold steel is located on the top surface of fork arm 22. The moving seat 2 stops moving, and fork arm 22 drives the mold steel to flip upward. When fork arm 22 flips to a vertical state, receiving plate 21 is in a horizontal state, and the mold steel is placed horizontally on the top surface of receiving plate 21, thus completing the flipping of the mold steel. No manual operation is required, the risk is low, and the flipping efficiency is high.

[0041] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
