Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of auxiliary tooling for induction heating equipment, in particular to a round table material alignment device with accurate positioning used on an induction furnace conveying device. Background Art

[0002] Induction heating is the use of electromagnetic induction to generate current inside the heated material, relying on the energy of these eddy currents to achieve the purpose of heating. The basic components of the induction heating system include an induction coil, an AC power supply and a workpiece. Depending on the heating object, the coil can be made into different shapes. The coil is connected to the power supply, which provides an alternating current to the coil. The alternating current flowing through the coil generates an alternating magnetic field passing through the workpiece, which causes the workpiece to generate eddy currents for heating. Induction heating is a method of heating conductive materials such as metal materials. It is mainly used for metal hot processing, heat treatment, welding and melting. At present, most induction heating equipment is single-station, requiring operators to place the workpiece on the heating platform, but the production efficiency is low. Therefore, it has gradually developed into an automated system in which the workpiece is transported by a conveyor belt into the induction furnace for heating. For automated conveyor belt devices, how to accurately align is a technical difficulty. The relative position of the coil and the workpiece determines the effect of induction heating, and the coil is basically slightly larger than the outer contour of the workpiece. The alignment deviation affects the heating effect at the least, and the interference between the coil and the workpiece is easy to cause equipment damage. Summary of the invention

[0003] In order to improve at least one defect of the prior art, the utility model provides a round table material alignment device for an induction furnace conveying device, which solves the problem of inaccurate positioning of workpieces conveyed by an automated conveyor belt and the induction furnace coil.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by the utility model is a frustum material alignment device for an induction furnace conveying device, which includes a cylinder and a profiling plate. The cylinder is fixed on a cylinder fixing seat, the lower part of the cylinder fixing seat is connected with an adjusting seat, the adjusting seat is installed on a conveyor belt seat body, and long holes are processed on the adjusting seat and the cylinder fixing seat and are connected by bolts so that the cylinder fixing seat can be finely adjusted in the X, Y, and Z directions relative to the adjusting seat. The cylinder fixing seat is of a "U" - shaped structure, with the cylinder fixed at the upper end. The front end of the extending rod of the cylinder is fixed with a vertical plate, and the profiling plate is fixedly connected to the vertical plate. The profiling plate is an arc plate, and its radian matches the outer diameter of the relative position of the frustum material. That is, when the frustum material is placed with its large end facing down on the lifting device of the conveying device, the height of the profiling plate is exactly flush with the position of the large end of the frustum material, and the center of the profiling plate is collinear with the center line of the working station. The lower end of the vertical plate is connected with a guide rod, and the guide rod passes through the front side plate of the cylinder fixing seat. The alignment device has two sets and is respectively arranged on both sides of the lifting device at the same working station of the conveying device. The alignment device is perpendicular to the running direction of the conveyor belt. The lifting device is a structure of multiple ejector rods located inside the lower end face of the frustum material to lift the frustum material, and the cylinder is connected with a pneumatic device.

[0005] Preferably, a guide sleeve is arranged on the inner side of the front side plate of the cylinder fixing seat, and the guide rod is inserted into the guide sleeve to improve the stability of the guide rod.

[0006] Preferably, the alignment device is arranged at the lifting device of the previous working station adjacent to the entrance of the induction furnace to align the workpiece before it enters the furnace.

[0007] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: The alignment device of the utility model is a two - way cylinder push - type positioning, which can be adjusted to be fixed on one side and pushed on the other side, or pushed on both sides simultaneously according to the on - site requirements. The structure is simple, which can accurately adjust the position of the workpiece, ensure accurate positioning with the coil, reduce the labor intensity of the operator, and lower the production cost.

[0013] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present utility model. Generally, the components of the embodiments of the present utility model described and shown in the drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0014] This application provides a frustum material alignment device for an induction furnace conveying device, which is an auxiliary tooling配套设置在一体化的全自动中频感应加热生产线上, mainly used for precise alignment of frustum materials before entering the furnace, and achieving adaptation to the position of the induction furnace coil through precise control of the workpiece to ensure stable product quality.

[0015] As Figure 1 to Figure 2 shown, the alignment device mainly includes a cylinder 3 and a profiling plate 6. The cylinder 3 is fixed on the cylinder fixing seat 2. The lower part of the cylinder fixing seat 2 is connected to the adjusting seat 1. The adjusting seat 1 is installed on the conveyor belt seat body 9. The adjusting seat 1 and the cylinder fixing seat 2 are processed with long holes and are connected by bolts, enabling the cylinder fixing seat 2 to have fine adjustment functions in the XYZ three directions relative to the adjusting seat 1 to adapt to workpieces of different models. The cylinder fixing seat 2 is of a "U" - shaped structure. The bottom plate is screwed to the adjusting seat 1. The upper ends of the front and rear side plates fix the shell of the cylinder 3. The front end of the extending rod of the cylinder 3 is fixed with a vertical plate 5. On the upper surface of the vertical plate 5 facing the frustum material 7, a profiling plate 6 is fixedly connected. The profiling plate 6 is an arc plate, and its radian matches the outer diameter of the relative position of the frustum material 7. That is, when the frustum material 7 is placed with its large end facing down on the lifting device 8 of the conveying device, the height of the profiling plate 6 is exactly flush with the cylindrical section at the large - end position of the frustum material 7. The center of the profiling plate 6 is collinear with the horizontal center line of the lifting device 8 at this station. The alignment device has 2 sets and is respectively arranged on both sides of the lifting device 8 at the same station of the conveying device (the alignment device is arranged at the previous station adjacent to the induction furnace entrance). The alignment device is perpendicular to the running direction of the conveyor belt. The lifting device is a structure of multiple ejector rods located inside the lower end surface of the frustum material 7 to lift the frustum material 7 without interfering with the profiling plate 6 of the alignment device. Therefore, when the cylinder 3 pushes the profiling plate 6 towards the frustum material 7 according to the preset extending length, the frustum material 7 with a deviation in position placed on the lifting device 8 can be pushed to the alignment position (the axis is consistent with the vertical center line of the lifting device 8).

[0016] It should be noted that there is an unclear expression "配套设置在一体化的全自动中频感应加热生产线上" in the original text. I have translated it as "配套设置在一体化的全自动中频感应加热生产线上" as accurately as possible, but it may need to be adjusted according to the correct meaning.A guide rod 4 is connected to the surface of the lower part of the vertical plate 5 facing the cylinder fixing seat 2, and the guide rod 4 passes through the front side plate of the cylinder fixing seat 2 (facing the side of the frustum material 7). A guide sleeve 10 is provided on the inner side of the front side plate of the cylinder fixing seat 2, and the guide rod 4 is passed through the guide sleeve 10. When the guide rod 4 is extended to the maximum position, the tail end of the guide rod 4 is located in the guide sleeve 10. When the guide rod 4 is retracted to the maximum position, the tail end of the guide rod 4 does not interfere with the rear side plate of the cylinder fixing seat 2, and the cylinder 3 is connected to the pneumatic device.

[0017] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, when in use, start the power supply (which can be controlled by the console), turn on the equipment control switch (water, electricity, gas, etc.), manually operate the balance crane to absorb the round table material 7 and place it on the upper end of the first round table material lifting station 7 of the conveyor chain assembly, and stay for 10 minutes; the stepper receives the signal and moves forward one station (travel 10 seconds), the servo furnace body lifting mechanism receives the signal, and the induction furnace descends to the heating position (travel 10 seconds); the workpiece starts to heat (10 minutes), and at the same time, the alignment device cylinder 3 on both sides of the second station pushes out the profiling plate 6 to push the rod material for center alignment (within 2 minutes to 3 minutes of starting heating, that is, the set time is 1 minute), the alignment device cylinder 3 returns to its position and the discharge prompt light flashes, the balance crane starts to grab the second round table material 10 and place it on the first round table material lifting station 7 of the conveyor chain assembly 9 (heating starts in 3-7 minutes, and the set time is 4 minutes to complete), the prompt light goes out, and the induction furnace rises 3 minutes later (10 seconds), and the stepper receives the signal and steps one station again. The servo furnace lifting mechanism 6 receives the signal, and the induction furnace descends to the heating position (travel 10 seconds); the workpiece is heated again, and the workpieces of the 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th stations begin to be placed, aligned, and heated one by one. When the workpiece steps to the 9th station, the detection device sends a signal, the discharge indicator light flashes, and the manual operation robot takes away the hot blank. The time is set within 6 minutes.
