Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of steel wire processing equipment, specifically relating to a steel wire coil finishing turning machine. Background Technology
[0002] In the steel wire production process, steel wire is drawn and wound to form a wire coil. Subsequent finishing processes, such as surface rust removal, dimensional straightening, end treatment, and segmentation, are required to obtain finished steel wire that meets usage requirements. During the finishing process, because the winding direction of the wire coil is fixed, some finishing processes, such as rust removal on the inner surface of the wire coil and end alignment, require flipping the wire coil so that different sides and ends of the wire coil correspond to the working positions of the finishing equipment.
[0003] In existing technology, a steel wire coil can be considered to have a first face and a second face (or two end faces), and the first face and the second face are connected by a perforation. The turning operation during the finishing process of the steel wire coil mainly relies on manual turning on the factory floor or using simple hoisting equipment. Manual turning is labor-intensive, inefficient, and the steel wire coils are heavy, typically weighing tens to hundreds of kilograms. During turning, they are prone to swaying and shifting, making precise turning difficult, and the turning angle cannot be precisely controlled, easily leading to positioning deviations in subsequent finishing processes, affecting the finishing effect. This not only causes surface damage to the steel wire coil, affecting product quality, but also poses significant safety hazards. Furthermore, the equipment is complex to operate, has poor adaptability, and cannot meet the turning requirements of steel wire coils of different specifications. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This invention provides a steel coil turning machine for finishing steel coils, which aims to solve the problems of existing steel coil turning equipment being complicated to operate, having poor finishing effect, and being unable to meet the turning requirements of steel coils of different specifications.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: to provide a steel coil finishing turning machine, comprising: The conveying mechanism has a horizontal linear conveying section for conveying steel wire coils; the conveying direction of the linear conveying section is set as a first direction, and the horizontal direction perpendicular to the first direction is set as a second direction; A steel-turning mechanism is provided on the discharge end side of the conveying mechanism. The steel-turning mechanism has a lifting part that can receive the steel wire roll transmitted by the linear conveying section and can support the steel wire roll. The steel-turning mechanism can drive the lifting part to flip outward from the linear conveying section. A transfer mechanism is disposed along the first direction on the side of the steel-turning mechanism away from the conveying mechanism, and the transfer mechanism has a plurality of suspension parts for the steel wire rolls to be sleeved. The first side of the wire coil contacts the linear conveying section and is transferred on the linear conveying section; after the wire coil slides into the lifting section, the perforation is set outward; then the wire coil is driven by the flipping mechanism to continue to flip until the first side is above the second side, and then slides into the suspension section accordingly.
[0006] In one possible implementation, the steel-turning mechanism includes: Flip-up steel plate, which has two opposing plates; Two limiting rollers are provided, and the two limiting rollers are spaced apart along the second direction. Each limiting roller is located at one end of the flipping steel plate and on one side of the flipping steel plate.

The axes of the first hinge position and the second hinge position are both set along the second direction. The first drive structure has an outwardly extending and rotatable first hinge segment, the extended end of the first hinge segment being rotatably connected to the first hinge position, and the rotation axis being set along the second direction; The second drive structure is spaced apart from the first drive structure along a first direction and is located on the side of the first drive structure near the linear conveying section; the second drive structure has an outwardly extending and rotatable second hinge section, the extended end of the second hinge section is rotatably connected to the second hinge position, and the rotation axis is set along the second direction.
[0008] In one possible implementation, the first driving structure includes: First fixed seat; The first drive shaft is rotatably mounted on the first fixed seat, and the axis of rotation is set along the second direction; Two first hinge rods are provided, and the two first hinge rods are spaced apart along the second direction. One end of each first hinge rod is connected to the first drive shaft, and the other end of each first hinge rod is hinged to the first hinge position of the flip-connecting block; the first hinge rod is the first hinge segment. A first driver is used to drive the first drive shaft to rotate.
[0009] In one possible implementation, the second driving structure includes: The second fixing seat is spaced apart from the first fixing seat along the first direction; The second hinge rod has one end hinged to the second fixed base, with the hinge axis set along the second direction, and the other end hinged to the second hinge position of the flip-connecting block; the second hinge rod is the second hinge segment. The second driver is used to drive the second hinge rod to pitch and rotate. The second fixed seat is disposed between the first fixed seat and the conveying mechanism.
[0010] In one possible implementation, the steel-turning mechanism further includes two limit adjustment structures, which are disposed between the two limit rollers and spaced apart along the second direction. Each limit adjustment structure includes: A fixing block is fixed to the bottom of the flip-up steel plate; A sliding block is slidably disposed at the bottom of the flip-up steel plate along the extending direction of the flip-up steel plate; A connecting shaft is set perpendicular to the flip steel plate. One end of the connecting shaft is fixed on the sliding block, and the other end of the connecting shaft extends upward through the flip steel plate. A telescopic unit, wherein the fixed end of the telescopic unit is fixed to the fixed block, and the telescopic end of the telescopic unit is connected to the sliding block; The flip steel plate is provided with a long through hole for each of the connecting shafts to pass through and slide, and the flip steel plate is provided with a slide rail for each of the sliding blocks to slide.
[0011] In one possible implementation, the transfer mechanism includes: A rotating seat is provided at a distance from the steel-turning mechanism along the first direction. The rotating seat is inclined and set on the factory floor. The higher end of the rotating seat is close to the steel-turning mechanism, and the lower end of the rotating seat is far away from the steel-turning mechanism. A rotating column is rotatably mounted on the rotating seat, with its rotation axis set at an angle. The transfer structure is provided in multiple ways, and each transfer structure is arranged in a ring at intervals along the axis of the rotating column. Each transfer structure has a transfer part that extends radially along the rotating column. Each transfer part is used for hanging the wire coil. The transfer structure is the suspension part. The third actuator is used to drive the rotating column to rotate.
[0012] In one possible implementation, each of the transport structures includes: An extension cantilever extends outward, with one end fixed to the side wall of the rotating column and the other end extending obliquely upward in the radial direction of the rotating column. A baffle plate is installed at the connection end between each of the extended cantilever and the rotating column to prevent the wire coil from scattering.
[0013] In one possible implementation, the flip plate has a perforated opening.
[0014] Compared with existing technologies, this implementation significantly reduces labor intensity and improves operational efficiency. The linear conveying section of the conveying mechanism can horizontally and smoothly transport the wire coil from the pre-finishing stage to the turning mechanism, eliminating the need for manual handling and pushing. The lifting section of the turning mechanism automatically receives the wire coil from the linear conveying section and, under the driving force, rotates the lifting section outward from the linear conveying section, achieving automatic turning of the wire coil without manual assistance or the use of simple lifting equipment. The suspension section of the transfer mechanism can automatically mount the turned wire coil, achieving automatic transfer of the turned wire coil and avoiding the tedious operations during manual transfer. The entire process eliminates the need for direct manual contact with heavy wire coils, not only completely freeing up manpower and reducing the labor intensity of operators, but also avoiding problems such as operation delays and rest intervals during manual operation, significantly improving the overall efficiency of the turning operation and solving the shortcomings of low turning efficiency in existing technologies.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.
[0019] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. Additionally, "multiple" and "several" mean two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.
[0020] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 6The present invention will now describe the wire coil finishing turning machine provided. The wire coil finishing turning machine includes a conveying mechanism 10, a turning mechanism 20, and a transfer mechanism 30. The conveying mechanism 10 has a horizontal linear conveying section 11 for conveying the wire coil. The conveying direction of the linear conveying section 11 is defined as a first direction, and the horizontal direction perpendicular to the first direction is defined as a second direction. The turning mechanism 20 is disposed on the discharge end side of the conveying mechanism 10. The turning mechanism 20 has a lifting section that can receive the wire coil conveyed by the linear conveying section 11 and support the wire coil. The turning mechanism 20 can drive the lifting section to flip outward from the linear conveying section 11. The transfer mechanism 30 is disposed along the first direction on the side of the turning mechanism 20 away from the conveying mechanism 10. The transfer mechanism 30 has multiple suspension sections for mounting the wire coil.
[0021] In this process, the first side of the wire coil contacts the linear conveyor 11 and is transferred on the linear conveyor 11. After the wire coil slides into the support part, the perforation is set outward. Then, the wire coil is driven by the flipping mechanism 20 to continue to flip until the first side is above the second side, and then slides into the suspension part accordingly.
[0022] The wire coil turning machine provided in this embodiment significantly reduces labor intensity and improves work efficiency compared to existing technologies. The linear conveying section 11 of the conveying mechanism 10 can horizontally and smoothly transport the wire coil from the pre-processing stage to the turning mechanism 20, eliminating the need for manual handling and pushing. The lifting section of the turning mechanism 20 automatically receives the wire coil from the linear conveying section 11 and, under driving action, rotates the lifting section outward from the linear conveying section 11, achieving automatic turning of the wire coil without manual assistance or the use of simple lifting equipment. The suspension section of the transfer mechanism 30 automatically mounts the turned wire coil, achieving automatic transfer and avoiding cumbersome manual handling. The entire process eliminates the need for direct manual contact with heavy wire coils, completely freeing up manpower, reducing operator labor intensity, and avoiding operational delays and rest intervals during manual operation. This significantly improves the overall efficiency of the turning operation and solves the problem of low turning efficiency in existing technologies.
[0023] The wire coil finishing turning machine, through the coordinated operation of the conveying mechanism 10, the turning mechanism 20, and the transfer mechanism 30, forms a complete automated conveying, turning, and transfer process, replacing manual labor and simple hoisting equipment to achieve automated and precise turning of the wire coil. The conveying mechanism 10 is equipped with a horizontal linear conveying section 11, which can stably carry and convey the wire coil along a first direction, ensuring that the wire coil is conveyed with its first surface in contact with the linear conveying section 11. The conveying path is straight and stable, avoiding swaying and deviation during conveying, providing a stable material base for subsequent precise turning. The linear conveying section 11 can be a conveying roller, which is the core actuator of the roller conveyor. The roller rotation supports and conveys materials with a flat bottom surface. The standard structure consists of a roller body, shaft, bearing, and bearing seat / end cover. The powered version is additionally equipped with a sprocket, pulley, or built-in motor (electric roller).
[0024] The steel-turning mechanism 20 is located on the discharge end side of the conveying mechanism 10. Its lifting section can receive the steel wire coils transmitted by the linear conveying section 11, achieving a smooth transition from conveying to turning, preventing the steel wire coils from falling or shifting position, and ensuring the stability and continuity of the receiving process. The steel-turning mechanism 20 can drive the lifting section to turn outwards from the linear conveying section 11, providing stable and controllable turning power for the steel wire coils. This replaces the unstable turning methods of manual force application and simple hoisting. The turning process is characterized by uniform force distribution without violent shaking, and precise control of the turning posture, preventing deformation or surface damage to the steel wire coils due to uneven force distribution. The transfer mechanism 30 is located along the first direction on the side of the steel-turning mechanism 20 away from the conveying mechanism 10. Multiple suspension sections can orderly receive the turned steel wire coils, achieving a seamless connection between turning and transfer, eliminating the need for manual handling and improving overall operational efficiency. The wire coil is conveyed with its first surface in contact with the linear conveyor 11. After sliding into the lifting section, the perforation tilts outward, facilitating the flipping mechanism 20 to apply force for flipping. This also avoids interference between the perforation and the lifting section, ensuring smooth flipping. The flipping mechanism 20 flips the wire coil until the first surface is above the second surface, achieving precise reversal of the wire coil's end face. This aligns the inner side and end of the wire coil with the finishing equipment's working position, solving the finishing positioning deviation problem caused by the inaccurate control of the traditional flipping angle, thus improving finishing effect and product quality. After flipping, the wire coil slides directly into the suspension section for automatic unloading and transfer, eliminating the need for manual intervention, reducing labor intensity, eliminating safety hazards associated with manual flipping and handling, and preventing collision damage to the wire coil.
[0025] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned steel-turning mechanism 20 may employ, as follows: Figures 1 to 4 The structure shown. See also Figures 1 to 4The steel-turning mechanism 20 includes a steel-turning plate 21, limiting rollers 22, and a drive assembly 23. The steel-turning plate 21 has two opposing plate surfaces. Two limiting rollers 22 are provided, spaced apart along a second direction. Each limiting roller 22 is located at one end of the steel-turning plate 21 and on one plate surface side of the steel-turning plate 21. Each limiting roller 22 and the steel-turning plate 21 combine to form a lifting part. The drive assembly 23 is located on the other plate surface side of the steel-turning plate 21 and is connected to the steel-turning plate 21. It is used to drive the steel-turning plate 21 to turn, and the turning axis is arranged along the second direction.
[0026] The combination of the flipping plate 21, the limiting roller 22, and the drive assembly 23 refines the structure of the flipping mechanism 20, improving the stability and accuracy of the flipping process. The flipping plate 21 has two opposing surfaces, providing an installation base for the limiting roller 22 and the drive assembly 23. This ensures precise installation of each component, a robust structural connection, and sufficient overall rigidity, enabling stable support of wire coils of varying weights and preventing deformation during the flipping process. The two limiting rollers 22 are spaced apart along the second direction, located on the same surface at one end of the flipping plate 21. Combined with the flipping plate 21, they form a support section. The limiting rollers 22 laterally limit the wire coil, restricting its displacement along the second direction and preventing it from shifting or slipping to either side during the flipping process. This ensures the wire coil remains centered within the support section, improving the flipping positioning accuracy. The limiting roller 22 adopts a roller structure and makes rolling contact with the wire coil, reducing the frictional resistance when the wire coil slides into the lifting part, preventing scratch damage to the surface of the wire coil, and facilitating the smooth sliding of the wire coil into and out of the lifting part. The drive assembly 23 is located on the other side of the flipping plate 21 and is connected to the flipping plate 21. The flipping axis is set along the second direction, so that the flipping plate 21 flips smoothly around the fixed axis. The flipping trajectory is fixed and controllable, avoiding shaking or deflection during the flipping process and ensuring precise control of the flipping angle. The drive assembly 23 is directly connected to the flipping plate 21, and the power transmission is direct and efficient. The flipping action responds quickly and can be completed quickly according to the operation requirements, improving the operation efficiency. The combination structure of the limiting roller 22 and the flipping plate 21 is simple, easy to process and assemble, and has low maintenance costs. At the same time, it can adapt to wire coils with different outer diameters. The spaced limiting rollers 22 form an adaptation space, improving the equipment's adaptability to wire coils of different specifications. The flipping steel plate 21 serves as the supporting body, providing ample support area to evenly bear the weight of the wire coil, preventing localized stress concentration that could lead to deformation and further protecting the surface quality of the wire coil. An implementable embodiment of the technical solution of this claim is as follows: The flipping steel plate 21 is a rectangular steel plate with a smooth and flat surface. The limiting rollers 22 are cylindrical metal rollers with wear-resistant rubber sleeves covering their exterior. Two limiting rollers 22 are fixed to one side of the upper surface of the flipping steel plate 21 via brackets, with the roller axis arranged along a first direction. The drive assembly 23 is a combination of a flipping cylinder and a rotating shaft. The rotating shaft passes through the middle of the flipping steel plate 21 along a second direction. The cylinder body of the flipping cylinder is hinged to the factory floor, and the piston rod is hinged to the lower surface of the flipping steel plate 21, causing the flipping steel plate 21 to flip around the rotating shaft.
[0027] In some embodiments, the driving component 23 described above may employ, for example... Figures 1 to 4 The structure shown. See also Figures 1 to 4The drive assembly 23 includes a flipping connecting block 231, a first drive structure 232, and a second drive structure 233. One end of the flipping connecting block 231 is connected to the flipping steel plate 21, and the other end of the flipping steel plate 21 extends outward. A first hinge position is provided in the middle section of the flipping connecting block 231, and a second hinge position is provided at the extended end of the flipping connecting block 231. The axes of both the first and second hinge positions are arranged along a second direction. The first drive structure 232 has an outwardly extending and flippable first hinge section, the extended end of which is rotatably connected to the first hinge position, and the rotation axis is arranged along the second direction. The second drive structure 233 is spaced apart from the first drive structure 232 along a first direction and is located on the side of the first drive structure 232 closest to the linear conveyor section 11. The second drive structure 233 has an outwardly extending and flippable second hinge section, the extended end of which is rotatably connected to the second hinge position, and the rotation axis is arranged along the second direction.
[0028] The combination of the flipping connecting block 231, the first drive structure 232, and the second drive structure 233 forms a dual-drive collaborative flipping structure, improving the stability of the flipping power and the controllable precision of the flipping angle. One end of the flipping connecting block 231 is connected to the flipping steel plate 21, and the other end extends outward. A first hinge position is set in the middle section, and a second hinge position is set at the extended end. The axes of both hinge positions are set along the second direction, so that the flipping connecting block 231 forms a double-hinged support structure, providing a precise hinged connection foundation for the first drive structure 232 and the second drive structure 233, ensuring a clear power transmission path and uniform force distribution. The first hinge section of the first drive structure 232 is rotatably connected to the first hinge position, and the second hinge section of the second drive structure 233 is rotatably connected to the second hinge position. The two drive structures are arranged at intervals along the first direction. The second drive structure 233 is close to the linear conveyor section 11, forming a front and rear dual-point drive support. During the flipping process, it provides segmented power support to the flipping plate 21, avoiding uneven force, swaying, or deflection of the flipping plate 21 caused by single-point drive, and improving the stability of the flipping process. The coordinated action of the dual drive structures can accurately control the flipping speed and flipping angle of the flipping plate 21. The flipping rhythm can be adjusted according to the specifications of the wire coil and the operation requirements to achieve stepless adjustment and precise flipping, solving the problem that the traditional flipping angle cannot be accurately controlled, and ensuring that the position of the wire coil is accurately aligned with the transfer mechanism 30 after flipping. The first hinge position and the second hinge position are set along the second direction, and the rotational connection is smooth and there is no jamming, reducing the wear of the hinge parts, improving the service life of the mechanism, and ensuring continuous and smooth flipping action. The flipping connecting block 231 has a compact structure, occupies little installation space, and is easy to arrange below the flipping steel plate 21, making the overall flipping mechanism 20 simple in structure and reasonable in layout, facilitating equipment assembly and subsequent maintenance. The dual-drive structure enhances the overall flipping power, enabling it to support heavier wire coils, expanding the equipment's applicability, meeting the flipping needs of wire coils of different weights and specifications, and further improving the equipment's adaptability. An implementable embodiment of the technical solution of this claim is as follows: The flipping connecting block 231 is a rectangular metal block, welded and fixed to the lower surface of the flipping steel plate 21. Hinge holes are respectively provided at the first and second hinge positions, with bearings installed in the holes. The first drive structure 232 is a servo electric cylinder, with the piston rod end connected to the first hinge position via a pin. The second drive structure 233 is a hydraulic cylinder, with the piston rod end connected to the second hinge position via a pin. The two drive structures move synchronously to flip the flipping steel plate 21.
[0029] In some embodiments, the first driving structure 232 described above may adopt the following... Figures 1 to 4 The structure shown. See also Figures 1 to 4The first drive structure 232 includes: a first fixed base 2321, a first drive shaft 2322, a first hinge rod 2323, and a first driver 2324. The first drive shaft 2322 is rotatably mounted on the first fixed base 2321, with its rotation axis arranged along a second direction. Two first hinge rods 2323 are provided, spaced apart along the second direction. One end of each first hinge rod 2323 is connected to the first drive shaft 2322, and the other end is hinged to a first hinge position on the flip-connecting block 231. The first hinge rod 2323 is a first hinge segment. The first driver 2324 is used to drive the first drive shaft 2322 to rotate.
[0030] The combination of the first fixed base 2321, the first drive shaft 2322, the first hinge rod 2323, and the first driver 2324 improves the operational stability and power output uniformity of the first drive structure 232. The first fixed base 2321 provides a stable mounting foundation for the first drive shaft 2322, fixing it to the factory floor or equipment base, ensuring precise installation of the first drive shaft 2322 and preventing wobbling during rotation, thus providing stable support for power transmission. The first drive shaft 2322 is rotatably mounted on the first fixed base 2321, with its rotation axis set along a second direction, allowing it to rotate smoothly around the fixed axis. This uniformly transmits the power of the first driver 2324 to the first hinge rods 2323 on both sides, ensuring consistent power output on both sides. Two first hinge rods 2323 are spaced apart along the second direction, one end connected to the first drive shaft 2322, and the other end hinged to the first hinge position of the flipping connecting block 231, forming a double-sided symmetrical drive structure. This applies symmetrical driving force to the flipping connecting block 231, avoiding deflection or jamming caused by unilateral force, and further improving the stability of the flipping process. The first hinge rod 2323, as the first hinge segment, has a simple structure, a firm connection, and direct power transmission. It can convert the rotation of the first drive shaft 2322 into the flipping power of the flipping connecting block 231, resulting in efficient and lossless action conversion. The first driver 2324 drives the first drive shaft 2322 to rotate, providing stable and controllable power output. By adjusting the speed and direction of the first driver 2324, the rotation speed and angle of the first drive shaft 2322 can be precisely controlled, thereby precisely controlling the flipping speed and angle of the flipping plate 21 and improving the flipping control accuracy. The double-sided first hinge rods 2323 increase the driving support range and enhance the load-bearing capacity of the first drive structure 232, enabling it to adapt to the turning requirements of heavy wire coils. Simultaneously, they distribute the force, reduce the stress load on individual components, and extend the service life of the components. The first drive structure 232 adopts a mechanical transmission structure, ensuring reliable operation, low failure rate, and adaptability to the harsh environment of industrial production sites, guaranteeing long-term continuous and stable operation. An implementable embodiment of the technical solution of this claim is as follows: The first fixed seat 2321 uses two symmetrically arranged metal supports, fixed to a concrete base. The first drive shaft 2322 is a round steel shaft, passing through the bearings of the two metal supports. The first hinge rods 2323 are metal connecting rods, with two connecting rods respectively fixed to both ends of the first drive shaft 2322. The first driver 2324 is a servo motor, connected to one end of the first drive shaft 2322 via a reducer, driving the first drive shaft 2322 to rotate.
[0031] In some embodiments, the second driving structure 233 described above may adopt the following... Figures 1 to 4 The structure shown. See also Figures 1 to 4The second drive structure 233 includes a second fixed base 2331, a second hinge rod 2332, and a second driver 2333. The second fixed base 2331 and the first fixed base 2321 are spaced apart along a first direction. One end of the second hinge rod 2332 is hinged to the second fixed base 2331, with the hinge axis arranged along a second direction. The other end of the second hinge rod 2332 is hinged to the second hinge position of the flip connecting block 231. The second hinge rod 2332 is a second hinge segment. The second driver 2333 is used to drive the second hinge rod 2332 to pitch and rotate.
[0032] The second fixed seat 2331 is disposed between the first fixed seat 2321 and the conveying mechanism 10.
[0033] The combination of the second fixed base 2331, the second hinge rod 2332, and the second driver 2333, together with the first drive structure 232, forms a complete dual-drive system, improving the overall operational coordination and stability of the tilting mechanism. The second fixed base 2331 and the first fixed base 2321 are spaced apart along the first direction and located between the first fixed base 2321 and the conveying mechanism 10, providing a stable mounting base for the second hinge rod 2332, ensuring accurate installation of the second hinge rod 2332 and smooth hinge rotation. At the same time, it allows the second drive structure 233 and the first drive structure 232 to form a reasonable spatial layout, avoiding component interference. The second hinge rod 2332 is hinged at one end to the second fixed seat 2331 and at the second hinge position of the flipping connecting block 231. Both hinge axes are set along the second direction, allowing it to pitch and rotate with the movement of the flipping connecting block 231. This, combined with the first drive structure 232, completes the flipping action, forming a front-to-back linkage drive support. It provides auxiliary lifting power at the beginning of the flipping process and stable support during the flipping process, ensuring a smooth transition of the flipping steel plate 21 from a horizontal receiving state to an inclined flipping state. The second driver 2333 drives the second hinge rod 2332 to pitch and rotate. Its power output is independently controllable and can be adjusted synchronously with the first driver 2324, ensuring consistent movement rhythm between the two drive structures, guaranteeing a smooth and uninterrupted flipping action, and improving the overall coordination of the mechanism. The second drive structure 233 is located close to the conveying mechanism 10. When the wire coil just slides into the lifting part, it provides initial support force, preventing the flipping steel plate 21 from sinking or shifting due to the weight of the wire coil, ensuring accurate receiving of the wire coil, and laying the foundation for subsequent flipping. The second hinge rod 2332 adopts a single-bar hinge structure, which is simple in structure, easy to assemble, flexible in rotation, and free of unnecessary constraints, reducing the running resistance of the mechanism and improving the action response speed. The second drive structure 233 works in cooperation with the first drive structure 232. The first drive structure 232 mainly outputs the flipping power, while the second drive structure 233 provides auxiliary support and power supplementation, making the overall power distribution reasonable, reducing energy consumption, and improving the accuracy of flipping angle control. It can achieve small-angle fine adjustment to meet the requirements of high-precision flipping operations. An implementable embodiment of the technical solution of this claim is as follows: The second fixed seat 2331 adopts a metal bracket and is fixed on the base between the first fixed seat 2321 and the roller conveyor. The second hinge rod 2332 adopts a metal telescopic rod, one end of which is hinged to the second fixed seat 2331 through a pin, and the other end is hinged to the second hinge position of the flipping connecting block 231. The second driver 2333 adopts a lead screw mechanism driven by a stepper motor, which drives the second hinge rod 2332 to pitch and rotate.
[0034] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned steel-turning mechanism 20 may employ, as follows: Figures 1 to 4 The structure shown. See also Figures 1 to 4The steel-turning mechanism 20 also includes two limiting adjustment structures 24, which are disposed between two limiting rollers 22 and spaced apart along a second direction. Each limiting adjustment structure 24 includes a fixed block 241, a sliding block 242, a connecting shaft 243, and a telescopic unit 244. The fixed block 241 is fixed to the bottom of the steel-turning plate 21. The sliding block 242 is slidably disposed at the bottom of the steel-turning plate 21 along the extension direction of the steel-turning plate 21. The connecting shaft 243 is perpendicular to the steel-turning plate 21, with one end fixed to the sliding block 242 and the other end extending upward through the steel-turning plate 21. The fixed end of the telescopic unit 244 is fixed to the fixed block 241, and the telescopic end of the telescopic unit 244 is connected to the sliding block 242.
[0035] The flip plate 21 is provided with a long through hole for each connecting shaft 243 to pass through and slide, and the flip plate 21 is provided with a slide rail for each sliding block 242 to slide.
[0036] Two limit adjustment structures 24 are added and spaced apart between the two limit rollers 22 along the second direction to achieve adjustable adaptation of the lifting part size and improve the equipment's adaptability to wire coils of different inner diameters and widths. A fixing block 241 is fixed to the bottom of the flip plate 21, providing a fixed installation base for the telescopic unit 244, ensuring the telescopic unit 244 is firmly installed and has no displacement during operation, and providing a stable power source for the movement of the sliding block 242. The sliding block 242 is slidably set along the extension direction of the flip plate 21. The connecting shaft 243 is set perpendicular to the flip plate 21, with one end fixed to the sliding block 242 and the other end extending upward through the flip plate 21. The telescopic end of the telescopic unit 244 is connected to the sliding block 242. The telescopic movement of the telescopic unit 244 drives the sliding block 242 and the connecting shaft 243 to move synchronously, achieving precise adjustment of the position of the connecting shaft 243. The connecting shafts 243 of the two limit adjustment structures 24 form an inner limit, which, together with the two outer limit rollers 22, forms a four-sided limit structure. This structure provides all-around limit on the outer periphery and perforation of the wire roll, further restricting the displacement of the wire roll during the flipping process. This ensures that the wire roll remains centered on the support section, improving the flipping positioning accuracy. The flipping plate 21 has a through hole for the connecting shafts 243 to slide through, and a slide rail for the sliding block 242 to slide. This ensures that the sliding block 242 and the connecting shafts 243 move along a straight and precise trajectory without deviation or jamming, resulting in a smooth and stable adjustment process. The telescopic unit 244 can flexibly adjust the distance between the two connecting shafts 243 according to the perforation size and width of the wire roll, adapting to the limit requirements of different specifications of wire rolls. Specification switching can be completed without replacing parts, improving equipment adjustment efficiency and versatility. The limit adjustment structure 24 is located at the bottom of the flipping plate 21, not occupying the upper support space, not affecting the sliding of the wire roll in and out, and protecting the adjustment components from collision damage by the wire roll, extending the service life of the components. Two limit adjustment structures 24 are symmetrically arranged at intervals along the second direction, ensuring uniform force distribution and good adjustment synchronization. This guarantees that the limit center coincides with the center of the lifting part, avoiding overturning deviation caused by eccentric limit adjustment. An implementable embodiment of the technical solution of this claim is as follows: The fixing block 241 is a metal block welded to the lower surface of the flip steel plate 21. The sliding block 242 is a slider that cooperates with a linear guide rail, fixed to the lower surface of the flip steel plate 21. The connecting shaft 243 is a round shaft, passing through an elongated through hole in the flip steel plate 21. The telescopic unit 244 is an electric push rod, with its fixed end fixed to the fixing block 241 and its telescopic end connected to the sliding block 242.
[0037] In some embodiments, the aforementioned transfer mechanism 30 may employ, for example... Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 The structure shown. See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 6The transfer mechanism 30 includes a rotating seat 31, a rotating column 32, a transfer structure 33, and a third driver. The rotating seat 31 and the steel-turning mechanism 20 are spaced apart along a first direction. The rotating seat 31 is inclined on the factory floor, with its higher end closer to the steel-turning mechanism 20 and its lower end further away. The rotating column 32 is rotatably mounted on the rotating seat 31, with its rotation axis inclined. Multiple transfer structures 33 are provided, each arranged annularly at intervals along the axis of the rotating column 32. Each transfer structure 33 has a transfer portion extending radially along the rotating column 32, used for hanging the steel wire coil. The third driver drives the rotating column 32 to rotate.
[0038] The combination of rotating seat 31, rotating column 32, transfer structure 33, and third drive enables multi-station cyclic transfer of wire coils, improving transfer efficiency and space utilization. The rotating seat 31 is inclinedly positioned on the factory floor, with its higher end closer to the steel-turning mechanism 20 and its lower end further away. This inclined arrangement of the rotating column 32 and transfer structure 33 facilitates the smooth sliding of the turned wire coils into the transfer section under their own weight, eliminating the need for additional power assistance for unloading, simplifying the structure, and reducing energy consumption. The rotating column 32 is rotatably mounted on the rotating seat 31, with its rotation axis inclined, allowing for stable rotation around the inclined axis. This drives the multiple transfer structures 33 to rotate cyclically, enabling switching between loading and unloading stations and meeting the transfer requirements of continuous production. Multiple transfer structures 33 are arranged in a ring along the axis of the rotating column 32, with the transfer section extending radially along the rotating column 32, forming a multi-station suspension structure capable of simultaneously supporting multiple wire coils, increasing single-transfer capacity, reducing transfer frequency, and improving overall operational efficiency. The transfer structure 33, acting as a suspension unit, provides stable support, facilitates easy installation of the wire coil, and prevents it from easily falling off, ensuring safety during the transfer process. The third drive unit rotates the rotating column 32, providing stable power output. The rotation speed can be adjusted according to the steel-turning rhythm, achieving a match between the turning and transfer rhythms and ensuring a continuous and smooth workflow. The inclined arrangement of the rotating seat 31 and rotating column 32 allows the transferred wire coil to tilt naturally, facilitating subsequent finishing processes without requiring additional posture adjustments, thus improving the efficiency of subsequent processes. The transfer mechanism 30 has a compact overall structure, and its circular arrangement saves lateral space in the factory. Its rational layout facilitates integration with the steel-turning mechanism 20 and finishing equipment, forming a complete production line layout. The multi-station cyclic transfer method achieves uninterrupted transfer, avoids equipment waiting, improves the overall operating efficiency of the production line, reduces the need for manual transfer, and further eliminates safety hazards. An implementable embodiment of the technical solution of this claim is as follows: The rotating seat 31 uses a metal frame, fixed to the factory floor with bolts, and the tilt angle is set to accommodate the sliding of the wire coil's own weight. The rotating column 32 is a cylindrical column, mounted on the rotating seat 31 via bearings. The transfer structure 33 employs multiple metal cantilever arms, evenly arranged circumferentially along the rotating column 32. The third drive unit is a geared motor, which drives the rotating column 32 to rotate via gear transmission.
[0039] In some embodiments, the transfer structure 33 described above can be adopted as follows: Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 The structure shown. See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 6Each transfer structure 33 includes an extended cantilever 331 and a baffle plate 332. One end of the extended cantilever 331 is fixed to the side wall of the rotating column 32, and the other end extends obliquely upward along the radial direction of the rotating column 32. The baffle plate 332 is provided at the connection end between each extended cantilever 331 and the rotating column 32 to prevent the wire coil from scattering.
[0040] The combination of the extended cantilever 331 and the baffle plate 332 enhances the stability of the wire coil transfer process and prevents the wire coil from scattering and falling off. One end of the extended cantilever 331 is fixed to the side wall of the rotating column 32, and the other end extends radially upward along the rotating column 32. This upward arrangement prevents the wire coil from slipping outward after being fitted, maintaining stability through the inclined support of the cantilever and its own weight, thus improving transfer safety. The radial extension of the extended cantilever 331 provides ample support area, enabling stable support of wire coils with different outer diameters, offering strong adaptability. Simultaneously, the cantilever structure is simple and lightweight, reducing the rotational load on the rotating column 32 and minimizing drive energy consumption. The baffle plate 332, located at the connection between the extended cantilever 331 and the rotating column 32, prevents the wire coil from moving towards the rotating column 32, avoiding collisions and friction between the wire coil and the rotating column 32, protecting the surface of the wire coil and the structure of the rotating column 32. It also prevents the wire coil from scattering towards the center during rotation, ensuring that the wire coil remains in the designated position on the cantilever for precise gripping in subsequent processes. The baffle plate 332 cooperates with the extended cantilever 331 to form a single-sided limiting structure, which not only ensures the smooth insertion of the wire coil but also effectively limits its displacement, improving the regularity of the transfer process. The extended cantilever 331 extends obliquely upwards, working in conjunction with the baffle plate 332 to ensure the wire coil remains stable after insertion, preventing wobbling or deviation, and ensuring that the wire coils do not collide during transfer, avoiding surface damage and improving product quality. The transfer structure 33 is simple to manufacture, low in cost, easy to maintain, and durable, meeting the needs of long-term continuous transfer operations. An implementable embodiment of the technical solution of this claim is as follows: the extended cantilever 331 is a rectangular metal tube, obliquely welded upwards to the rotating column 32. The baffle plate 332 is a rectangular steel plate, vertically welded to the connection between the cantilever and the rotating column 32, with a height higher than the upper surface of the cantilever, forming a blocking surface. In some embodiments, the aforementioned flip plate 21 can be adopted as follows: Figure 1 , Figure 4 The structure shown. See also Figure 1 , Figure 4 The steel plate 21 has a hollowed-out opening.
[0041] A perforation is provided on the flipping plate 21 to optimize its structural performance, reduce the equipment's weight and energy consumption, and improve the mechanism's operating efficiency. The perforation reduces the material usage of the flipping plate 21, lowering its weight and reducing the drive load on the drive assembly 23. This allows the drive assembly 23 to complete the flipping action with less power, reducing equipment energy consumption and extending the service life of the drive components. The perforations are evenly distributed on the flipping plate 21, ensuring overall rigidity and structural strength while reducing weight. The perforations prevent deformation and allow for stable support of the wire coil, meeting load-bearing requirements. The perforation creates a hollow structure on the flipping plate 21, reducing the contact area between the plate and the wire coil, lowering frictional resistance, and facilitating smooth sliding of the wire coil into and out of the support section, preventing surface damage due to friction. The perforation also reduces air resistance during flipping, making the flipping action smoother and more responsive, improving the fluidity of the flipping motion. The perforated structure facilitates heat dissipation for components such as the drive assembly 23 and the limit adjustment structure 24 located beneath the flipping steel plate 21, preventing heat accumulation during long-term operation, ensuring stable component performance, and extending the overall service life of the equipment. The perforations also allow maintenance personnel to easily observe the operating status of components beneath the flipping steel plate 21, promptly identifying potential faults and improving maintenance convenience. With the perforations on the flipping steel plate 21, the structure is simpler and the appearance is more regular, without affecting the original support, limit, and flipping functions, optimizing performance while ensuring complete equipment functionality. An implementable embodiment of the technical solution of this claim is as follows: multiple circular or rectangular perforations are opened on the flipping steel plate 21, symmetrically distributed along the center of the flipping steel plate 21, with the total area of the perforated area not exceeding half the area of the flipping steel plate 21, ensuring that the rigidity of the flipping steel plate 21 meets usage requirements.
[0042] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
