Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of rod surface treatment, and relates to a rod feeding device, in particular to an automatic feeding device suitable for nickel electrolytic pole rods. Background Art

[0002] Bar stock is a specific type of metal material that is characterized by a certain length, usually in the shape of a long stick of round or polygonal shape. Bar stock can be obtained in a variety of ways, including casting and forging. Bar stock has a wide range of applications in many fields, including but not limited to machining, construction, shipbuilding, etc. Their sizes can vary, and common bar stock types include steel bars, copper bars, aluminum bars, etc. Due to its lower cost and higher processing convenience, bar stock is widely used in the manufacture of various mechanical parts, tools, construction materials, and electronic components.

[0003] In the production and processing of various bars, since the metal itself is prone to chemical reactions and impurities are easily attached to the surface during the production process, in order to further improve its metal properties, it is often necessary to remove the surface impurities before leaving the factory. When performing the surface treatment of the bars, the bars need to be fed into the surface treatment device one by one. In this loading process, the existing technology mainly uses manual loading, and a large number of bars are manually loaded into the bar surface treatment device. This is not only inefficient and easy to keep up with the rhythm of bar processing, but also, there are certain safety hazards when personnel participate in the surface treatment process, which is not conducive to the expansion of the production scale of enterprises and the automation and intelligent reform. With the continuous advancement of modern machinery, many mechanical grippers have appeared on the market to replace manual loading, but they still have problems such as complex structure and single loading. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model aims to provide an automatic feeding device suitable for nickel electrolytic poles, so as to realize efficient, unmanned and automated feeding of the nickel electrolytic poles.

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] An automatic feeding device for nickel electrolytic poles comprises a base, on which a liftable bearing platform, a step-rod feeding device and a rod discharging guide device are arranged according to the material feeding order, the liftable bearing platform comprises a lifting plate hinged on the table surface and a bearing lifting cylinder connected to the lifting plate; the step-rod feeding device comprises rod side baffles installed on the left and right sides of the base, a plurality of feeding steps are fixed between the rod side baffles, each feeding step is provided with a step-feeding lifting mechanism, and the step-feeding lifting mechanism is connected to the step-feeding lifting cylinder fixed on the base; a temporary discharging storage platform is also arranged between the step-rod feeding device and the rod discharging guide device, and a discharging lifting cylinder is arranged at the bottom of the temporary discharging storage platform; the rod discharging guide device comprises a conveyor belt and a discharging side baffle arranged at the end of the conveyor belt in a closed shape.

[0007] It also includes several material detection sensors, namely, a first material detection sensor arranged beside the liftable load platform, a second material detection sensor arranged beside the temporary discharge storage platform, and a third material detection sensor arranged beside the bar discharge guide device.

[0008] The working principle of the utility model is as follows:

[0009] First, when the first material detection sensor detects that there is no bar material on the liftable load platform, it gives a feeding signal to the front-end mechanism. After the front-end mechanism completes the feeding, the solenoid valve controls the load-bearing lifting cylinder to start, driving the lifting plate to tilt toward the step rod feeding device, and the bar materials enter the first-level feeding step of the step rod feeding device in turn. The step feeding lifting cylinder drives the step feeding lifting mechanism to lift the bar material to the second-level feeding step, and then to the third-level feeding step, and enter the temporary storage platform for discharge. The first bar material to enter is lifted by the discharge lifting cylinder located in front of the temporary storage platform for discharge and sent to the conveyor belt of the bar discharge guide device for transmission. At the end of the transmission, the discharge side baffle controls the position of the bar material to ensure that the bar material can be accurately sent to the next process. At the same time, if the second material detection sensor detects that there is a bar material on the third-level feeding step for a long time, the temporary storage platform for discharge is full at this time, and the step feeding lifting mechanism stops working. When the second material detection sensor detects that there is no material, the step feeding lifting mechanism continues to work. When the third material detection sensor at the discharge port of the bar discharge guiding device detects material, the discharge lifting cylinder under the temporary storage platform waits on standby. After it detects that there is no material, the lifting mechanism moves to push the single bar on the storage platform onto the conveyor belt, thereby avoiding the problem of collision of multiple bars.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0011] 1. Through the coordinated use of the base, the liftable load platform, the step-type bar feeding device, the bar discharging guide device, the material detection sensor, etc., the problems of the inconvenient use of the feeding device of the existing bar surface treatment equipment and the inefficiency of manual feeding are solved, and the bar conveying efficiency is effectively improved. At the same time, it is very convenient to use and has great promotion value;

[0012] 2. Through the coordinated operation of various sub-mechanisms and sensors, the preceding mechanism of the utility model can load large quantities of rod materials of various sizes at one time, and the rods are loaded separately through the device described in this article. The whole system is closely linked to ensure the continuity of the system to the greatest extent, while also reducing unnecessary repeated loading of the preceding loading mechanism, thereby increasing efficiency and reducing consumption.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The present invention will be further explained below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.

[0020] like Figure 1-5 As shown, an automatic feeding device for nickel electrolytic rods comprises a base 1, on which a liftable support platform 2, a step-by-step rod feeding device 3 and a rod material discharging guide device 5 are arranged according to the material feeding sequence.

[0021] The liftable bearing platform 2 includes a lifting plate 18 hinged on the platform surface and a bearing lifting cylinder 17 connected to the lifting plate 18 , and the bearing lifting cylinder 17 is fixed on the base 1 .

[0022] like Figure 1 and 3 As shown, the stepped rod feeding device 3 includes rod side baffles 8 installed on the left and right sides of the base 1, and multiple feeding steps 9 are fixed between the rod side baffles 8. Each feeding step 9 is provided with a stepped feeding jacking mechanism 15. The stepped feeding jacking mechanism 15 includes a jacking frame which is in an inverted "F" shape when viewed from the side, and jacking legs are provided at the front of the jacking frame corresponding to the surface of each feeding step 9. The back of the jacking frame is slidably connected to the guide plate fixed on the base 1, and a stepped feeding jacking cylinder 16 is also installed on the guide plate. The step feeding jacking cylinder 16 is connected to the bottom of the jacking frame to achieve the same rise and fall of all jacking legs.

[0023] A temporary discharge storage platform 4 is also arranged between the stepped rod loading device 3 and the rod discharge guiding device 5. The bottom of the temporary discharge storage platform 4 has a certain slope, and a discharge lifting cylinder 14 is arranged at the bottom of the slope. The discharge lifting cylinder 14 is used to push the rod into the rod discharge guiding device 5; the rod discharge guiding device 5 includes a conveyor belt 6 and a discharge side baffle 11 which is arranged at the end of the conveyor belt 6 and is in a closed shape. The conveyor belt 6 is powered by a conveyor belt motor 13 installed at the end of the conveyor belt 6.

[0024] When in use, the front follow-up mechanism places a large number of bars to be processed on the liftable bearing platform 2. The bearing platform controls the lifting plate 18 through the bearing lifting cylinder 17 to raise one side and keep it in an inclined posture. The bars roll into the first loading step 9 at the bottom of the step-type rod feeding device 3. At this time, the step-type feeding lifting mechanism 15 is driven by the step-type feeding lifting cylinder 16 to reciprocate up and down, and transports the bars to the second loading step 9 above, and so on, until it is sent to the last loading step 9. Since the plane above the lifting legs of the step-type feeding lifting mechanism 15 is in an inclined state and a wedge-shaped inclined block is also installed on the table top of the loading step 9 (which can only accommodate one bar), the cooperation between the two can ensure that the bars roll into the next loading step in an ideal state without falling out. The bar material entering the last loading step 9 automatically rolls down into the temporary storage platform 4 for discharging to wait for the signal. When there are no bar materials on the conveyor belt 6 of the subsequent bar material discharging guide device 5, the discharging lifting cylinder 14 under the temporary storage platform 4 will push the first bar material onto the conveyor belt 6, and the conveyor belt 6 will accurately transport it to the subsequent processing device.

[0025] The actions of the above-mentioned components are assisted by the PLC control system / DCS industrial control system to realize full-process automated loading.

[0026] The automatic feeding device of the utility model also includes a plurality of material detection sensors, namely, a first material detection sensor 7 arranged beside the liftable bearing platform 2, a second material detection sensor 10 arranged beside the temporary material storage platform 4, and a third material detection sensor 12 arranged beside the bar material discharging guide device 5. The material detection sensor adopts a photoelectric detection sensor in the prior art.

[0027] It should be noted that when the first material detection sensor 7 detects that there are rods on the liftable support platform 2, the front-end mechanism will not feed the material to the feeding device described in this article. When the first material detection sensor 7 detects that there are no rods, it will give a feeding signal to the front-end mechanism. After a certain delay, the front-end mechanism will replenish the rods. Similarly, when the second material detection sensor 10 detects that the topmost feeding step 9 has been filled with material for a long time (this means that the temporary storage platform 4 for discharging materials is full), it will give a signal to the step-type rod feeding device 3, causing its step-type feeding lifting mechanism 15 to stop running and wait. When the second material detection sensor 10 detects that there is no material, the latter will continue to move. The third material detection sensor 12 is used to detect whether there is material at the bar discharge guiding device 5. When it detects that there is material, the discharge lifting cylinder 14 under the temporary discharge storage table 4 waits. After it detects that there is no material, the discharge lifting cylinder 14 moves to push the bar on the temporary discharge storage table 4 onto the conveyor belt 6 to avoid the problem of multiple bar collisions.
