Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of steel coil packaging, and more specifically to a lifting saddle device for a walking beam. Background Art
[0002] In cold rolling production lines, finished steel coils, including color coating lines, galvanizing lines, etc., often use walking beam conveyors. The characteristic of walking beam transportation is that it is intermittent step-by-step motion, which is conducive to the outer packaging and coding of steel coils. However, sometimes some packaging processes require the steel coils to be raised to a certain height to have enough space for operation, or during transportation, large-width steel coils need to be lifted to a certain height to pass certain specific equipment on both sides of the walking beam. The current technology provided is to add a lifting mechanism on one side of the walking beam, or to use a crane for lifting. The former solution has complex and bulky equipment and increases the construction cost of civil engineering. The latter solution increases the frequent use of the crane and requires manual support, which increases the workload and the risk factor.
[0003] After searching, the patent with publication number CN216425301U provides a step-beam lifting saddle. This design focuses on solving the problem that the lifting mechanism is subject to greater gravity when lifting the steel coil due to the inability of the support mechanism itself to rise and fall, which is easy to cause damage to the inside of the equipment over time. The patent with publication number CN208104555U provides a step-beam rotating saddle overall quick replacement device, a groove-shaped notch is provided on the end of the step-beam close to the saddle; a circle of protrusions is provided on the inner wall of the groove-shaped notch near the upper edge, and a step structure is formed between the edge of the protrusion structure and the inner wall of the groove-shaped notch; the upper and lower parts of the saddle rotating device are respectively fixedly connected to an upper positioning plate and a lower positioning plate; a positioning block is provided on the outer side of the saddle device, and matching positioning holes are provided on the positioning block and the end of the step-beam; this design focuses on achieving quick replacement of bearings. This type of design is obviously not applicable to the production difficulties mentioned above. Utility Model Content
