Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of hot-rolled strip steel production, in particular to an automatic traction system for coiling strip steel in a hot-rolled production line. Background Art

[0002] In the hot rolling production line, strip coiling operation is an important link. After the formed steel is rolled out, it is buffered on the plate chain conveyor through a serpentine oscillator. This process will cause the strip to be stacked in an S shape on the plate chain conveyor. The strip head may be in different states such as upright, wall-attached, fitted, bent back, and inclined, making it difficult to automatically enter the finishing roller of the subsequent coiling mechanism. It is necessary to manually use long-handled pliers to first correct the position of the strip head, and then pull it along the direction of travel of the plate chain conveyor into the finishing roller of the coiling mechanism for subsequent coiling and packaging operations.

[0003] After the strip is pressed and rolled, it is decelerated and cooled by a snake-shaped oscillator. Even so, the temperature of the cooled strip will reach hundreds of degrees when it is transported on the plate chain. The problems of manual operation under such high temperature are: there are many safety hazards in manual operation. Once an error occurs, it may cause injury to the operator. The high temperature in summer can easily cause heatstroke to the workers. A large amount of manpower investment is not only costly but also labor-intensive, which can easily lead to fatigue of the operator, thus affecting production efficiency. In addition, due to the nature of this part of the work, fewer and fewer people are willing to do this work. The many disadvantages of manual traction can no longer meet the requirements of modern industrial production such as high efficiency, safety, and stable quality. Therefore, it is necessary to seek new technical means to replace manual traction, ensure the safety of workers, reduce labor costs, and improve production efficiency and product quality.

[0004] After the formed steel is rolled out, it passes through the snake vibration area, and the speed of the strip head can reach more than 15m / s, the temperature is about 900℃, and the strip head can remain upright after rushing out for about 3 meters. As time goes by, the strip head is randomly placed on the plate chain conveyor, and the continuously emerging strip steel is stacked in an S shape behind it. In the existing theoretical technology of automatic strip traction, various claw structures are usually designed with reference to the principle of manual use of long-handled clamps to simulate the clamping of the strip steel in an upright state. Affected by high temperature and high speed, coupled with the poor field of vision around the exit, it is difficult for the manipulator to identify and grasp the strip steel at the exit. Therefore, most studies use the manipulator to identify and grasp the upright state of the strip steel after the strip steel speed has decayed. For example, the Chinese utility model patent CN202220586686.7, which was announced on June 21, 2022, provides a robot gripping device for hot-rolled strip steel, which can achieve the "straightening" function in a stable state through a claw on each side; on this basis, the Chinese utility model patent 202222610111.7, which was announced on September 30, 2022, provides a strip steel gripping robot, which is designed with an asymmetric clamping structure of three claws to adapt to the gripping of moving and uncertain strip steel, in order to achieve the straightening and traction operations of the strip steel. In summary, these methods of improving the gripping accuracy by improving the gripping claws have high requirements for the robot process design. In addition, the principle is to wait for the strip steel to be in a vertical state before gripping. Due to the fast steel output speed, dense S-shaped stacking and curling are likely to occur, resulting in the superposition, entanglement and dislocation of the strip steel, which is not conducive to machine vision to identify the state of the strip steel and perform effective gripping. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide an automatic traction system for coiling hot-rolled steel strips in a hot-rolled production line, in which a traction trolley replaces manual traction to realize automatic traction of hot-rolled steel strips. Since the instantaneous speed of the steel strips rushing out of the snake vibration area reaches 15m / s+, the trolley cannot immediately grab the head of the steel strips, so the utility model allows the steel strips to rush out of the traction trolley device and then retract the head of the steel strips at full speed. Specifically, the trolley can be opened and retracted during the movement along the plate chain. When the steel strips just rush out of the snake vibration area, they are still in an upright state. The trolley is opened and waits for steel to be discharged at the exit of the snake vibration area. The steel strips rush out of the channel opened by the trolley. At the same time, the trolley accelerates and retracts the head of the steel strips that rush out, and clamps and tractions them at a reasonable position. The process does not need to consider the posture of the steel strips, ensuring that the steel strips can be accurately grasped in any way, improving the accuracy of grasping the head of the steel strips, and solving the problems of high labor intensity, low efficiency, high cost, high quality control difficulty and safety hazards under high temperature operation caused by manual traction in the production process of hot-rolled steel strips.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0051] The utility model is described in detail below in conjunction with the embodiments and the accompanying drawings. The embodiments are only further explanations of the technical solution of the utility model and do not limit the protection scope of the utility model.

[0052] The utility model provides an automatic traction system for coiling strip steel in a hot rolling production line. It can replace manual traction and realize unmanned automatic operation of traction of strip steel in a hot rolling production line. On the one hand, it can reduce the labor intensity of workers and effectively avoid production accidents and losses. On the other hand, automatic traction can continuously and stably traction strip steel, avoid the problem of needing to pause and rest during manual traction, and greatly improve production efficiency. The advantage of the utility model is that the traction trolley is in an open manner and waits for steel to be discharged at the entrance of the snake vibration area (the traction trolley is initially stationary and the speed is 0). After the snake vibration, the strip steel rushes out of the channel opened by the traction trolley, and the speed of the strip steel is relatively fast at this time. Before the strip steel rushes out of the traction trolley, the detection sensor 231 on the traction trolley has detected the strip steel. At this time, the trolley is started to accelerate forward movement. At the same time, the transverse drive mechanism and the roller mechanism also start to work. On the one hand, the transverse drive connecting plate is driven to drive the front and rear guide mechanisms and rollers in the open state to close to the middle. On the other hand, the roller rotates forward to straighten the strip steel forward until the strip steel is closed. After the strip is caught, the trolley continues to chase the strip head forward, while the rollers rotate in the opposite direction to pull the strip head back. The servo electric cylinder of the front guide mechanism clamps the strip head and pulls it at a reasonable position. This process does not need to consider the state of the strip head, which improves the accuracy of grabbing the strip head.

The two transverse drive connecting plates 113 are respectively connected to the front guide mechanism 12, the roller mechanism 14 and the rear guide mechanism 13 in the front-to-back direction. The two ends of the upper surface of the symmetrically distributed transverse drive connecting plates 113 are respectively fixedly connected to the sliding bearings 1121 on the corresponding positions of the support screw 115, and the sliding bearing plays a guiding role.

Under the drive of the transverse drive mechanism, the transverse drive connecting plate moves laterally along the sliding platform and the support screw, thereby realizing the opening and closing of the trolley.

[0074] The transverse driving connecting plate 113 is driven by the motor of the transverse driving mechanism 112, which drives the front and rear guide mechanisms and the roller mechanism under the transverse driving connecting plate 113 to synchronously reciprocate laterally. The two symmetrical transverse driving connecting plates move toward the middle to realize the folding of the trolley, and the two symmetrical transverse driving connecting plates move to both sides to realize the opening of the trolley.

[0078] Example 3: Reference Figure 5 Description of Implementation Methods

[0079] This embodiment is a further explanation of the front guide mechanism 12 described in the traction trolley device of the automatic traction system for coiling strip in the hot rolling production line described in Example 2.

[0080] The front guide mechanism 12 includes two symmetrical high temperature resistant front baffles and two transversely arranged servo electric cylinders 1211. The high temperature resistant front baffles include a front guide long straight plate 121 and a front guide inclined plate 122. The front guide inclined plate 122 is inclined outward and connected to the front guide long straight plate 121 at a certain obtuse angle. The two high temperature resistant front baffles are respectively perpendicular to the transverse drive connecting plate 113. The front guide long straight plate 121 is fixedly connected to the front part of the lower surface of the transverse drive connecting plate 113. The parts of the two high temperature resistant front baffles extending out of the transverse drive connecting plate are the front guide inclined plates 122, which facilitate the strip to be introduced into the finishing roller.

[0081] The two symmetrical front guide inclined plates 122 are in an “eight”-shaped structure, and the distance between the front ends of the two front guide inclined plates 122 is greater than the distance between the rear ends of the two front guide inclined plates 122 .

The upper end of the servo electric cylinder 1211 is fixedly connected to the high temperature resistant flat plate 111, and the extended end of the servo electric cylinder 1211 is driven and moved laterally through the hole space left on the front guide long straight plate 121. The extended end of the servo electric cylinder 1211 is provided with a clamping plate, which passes through the hole space 1212 to clamp the strip steel, so as to realize the operation of tightening and releasing the strip steel.

[0083] Specifically, when the traction trolley device is recovering the strip that has rushed out of the traction trolley device, when the front detection sensor 232 detects that the strip head has entered the front guide mechanism, the symmetrical servo electric cylinder moves to the middle to clamp the strip head, thereby capturing the strip head. The current position of the traction trolley device is sensed by the positioning sensor 233. When it is detected that the captured strip head is pulled in front of the finishing roller, the openings of the two front guide inclined plates face the entrance of the finishing roller, and the strip head is sent into the finishing roller.

[0084] The positioning sensor uses a high temperature resistant photoelectric sensor, and photoelectric receiving devices are installed at the finishing roller and the snake vibration exit position; when returning to the snake vibration exit position to prepare for pulling the next strip, the positioning sensor and the photoelectric receiving device are electrically connected to the control unit.

[0087] The rear guide mechanism 13 includes two symmetrical high temperature resistant rear baffles, which include a rear guide long straight plate 131 and a rear guide inclined plate 132. The rear guide inclined plate 132 is inclined outward and connected to the rear guide long straight plate 131 at a certain obtuse angle. The two high temperature resistant rear baffles are respectively vertically connected to the transverse drive connecting plate 113, and the rear guide long straight plate 131 is fixedly connected to the transverse drive connecting plate 113. The openings of the two rear guide inclined plates 132 are connected to the snake vibration outlet to facilitate the smooth entry of the strip into the traction trolley device. The openings of the two rear guide inclined plates 132 are not less than the size of the snake vibration outlet;

[0088] Specifically, the traction trolley device is in an open state waiting for steel discharge at the exit of the snake vibration area, and the two symmetrical rear inclined plates of the rear guide mechanism extend to the snake vibration area and dock with the snake vibration exit, so that the strip comes out of the snake vibration area and directly rushes into the channel opened by the trolley.

[0089] Example 5: Reference Figure 3 Description of Implementation Methods

[0090] This embodiment is a further description of the roller mechanism 14 in the traction trolley device described in Example 2.

[0091] The roller mechanism 14 includes two symmetrically distributed driving rollers 141 and a servo motor 1411 for driving the driving rollers. The driving rollers 141 are located between the front guide mechanism 12 and the rear guide mechanism 13 and are symmetrically placed under two transverse driving connecting plates 113 .

[0092] The servo motor 1411 is placed above the driving roller. The servo motor 1411 is fixed on the upper surface of the transverse driving connecting plate 113 and can pass through the rectangular opening 1111 on the high temperature resistant flat plate 111. The rectangular opening 1111 provides space for the servo motor to move transversely when moving transversely. The output end of the servo motor 1411 is connected to the driving roller. The servo motor can drive the driving roller to achieve forward and reverse rotation. The speed of the driving roller can match the speed of the strip steel, and the speed can reach 15m / s+, which is used to drive the strip steel to move forward and backward.

[0093] Specifically, the traction trolley device is waiting for steel to be discharged at the snake vibration outlet. When the detection sensor 231 on the trolley detects that the strip steel has come out, the trolley accelerates forward, and the transverse drive connecting plate 113 described in Example 2 is retracted to the middle. At the same time, the servo motor drives the roller to start rotating forward to realize the strip steel straightening. When the strip steel is closed, the servo motor drives the roller to start rotating in the opposite direction to pull back the strip steel that has rushed out of the trolley. When the servo electric cylinder in the front guide mechanism clamps the strip steel head, the drive roller stops rotating until the strip steel is fed into the finishing roller, and the drive roller rotates forward to realize the introduction of the strip steel into the finishing roller.

[0094] Example 6: Reference Figure 1 , Figure 6 Description of Implementation Methods

[0095] This embodiment further illustrates the sliding device 2 described in the automated method for manual strip pulling of a hot rolling production line described in Example 1.

[0096] Slide 2 (participate in Figure 6 ) includes a trapezoidal stereoscopic frame 21, a sliding mechanism 22, a bearing platform 23, and a protective cover 24. The trapezoidal stereoscopic frame 21 includes four inclined columns 211, four crossbeams 212, and internal support columns 213 and support rods 214. The trapezoidal stereoscopic frame 21 is fixedly connected to the sliding mechanism 22 and placed on the slide rails, and slide rails are added on both sides of the plate chain II along the conveying direction. The inclined columns 211 play a supporting and stabilizing role. The bearing platform 23 is located above the frame.

[0097] The sliding mechanism 22 described in this embodiment is a rolling guide rail. A driving roller 221 is installed inside the sliding mechanism, each driving roller is driven by a driving motor. In this embodiment, four driving rollers are provided, which can drive the traction trolley to perform reciprocating linear motion along the conveyor belt direction and can provide a higher movement speed.

[0098] The protective cover 24 comprises a housing side plate, a guard plate and a housing, and is used to protect the traction trolley device. A positioning sensor 232 is arranged on the housing side plate.

[0099] The carrying platform 23 is formed into a rectangle with the upper end supported by four oblique sides, and the rectangle is covered with a high-temperature resistant steel plate of the same size. The lifting component 311 and the lifting motor 312 in the lifting device are placed on the carrying platform. The carrying platform 23 is provided with a rear detection sensor 231 and a front detection sensor 232 for detecting the presence of strip steel.

[0100] In this embodiment, the sliding mechanism is a rolling guide rail, and may also be a sliding guide rail, or other sliding mechanisms that can provide overall movement of the trolley.

[0101] In this embodiment, the trapezoidal three-dimensional structure is fixed together by a suitable connection method to form a frame of the sliding device to achieve the reciprocating motion of the trolley.

[0102] Example 7, reference Figure 6 Description of Implementation Methods

[0103] This embodiment further illustrates the lifting device described in the automatic traction method system for coiling strip in the hot rolling production line described in Example 1.

[0104] The lifting device 3 of this embodiment includes four identical lifting mechanisms 31, the upper ends of the lifting mechanisms 31 are respectively connected to four lifting components 311, and the lower end of the lifting device is connected to the suspension platform 11 of the traction trolley device 1 to achieve the lifting operation of the traction trolley.

[0105] Specifically: after the finishing roller captures the strip, the traction trolley device is lifted by the lifting device, raised to a higher height, separated from the strip, and moves back along the slide rail.

[0106] All the motors, sensors and photoelectric receiving devices mentioned above in the present invention are electrically connected to the control unit, and the control unit controls the corresponding components to complete the work.

[0107] The grabbing part in the front guide device of the small and medium-sized vehicle device of the utility model adopts a servo electric cylinder, and other grabbing devices such as a cylinder, a mechanical grab and the like can also be adopted.

[0108] The lifting device in the utility model can also adopt a scissor lift mechanism, etc. The positioning sensor in the utility model can adopt a photoelectric sensor, and can also adopt a GPS positioning sensor. The GPS positioning sensor is provided with a high temperature resistant protective shell. The GPS positioning sensor is connected to the control unit. The GPS positioning sensor is installed on the traction trolley, near the finishing roller entrance and the snake vibration exit to sense the relative positions of the three.

[0109] The utility model uses a traction trolley, and a strip steel passing channel is arranged inside the traction trolley. Since the instantaneous speed of the strip steel rushing out of the snake vibration area is not less than 15m / s, the trolley cannot immediately catch the strip steel head, and the strip steel is allowed to rush out of the traction trolley, and then the strip steel head is chased back at full speed; the traction trolley can be opened and closed in the process of moving along the plate chain, and the strip steel is still in an upright state when it just rushes out of the snake vibration area. The traction trolley is in an open state and waits for steel discharge at the exit of the snake vibration area, and the strip steel rushes out of the channel opened by the traction trolley. At the same time, the traction trolley accelerates and chases back the rushed strip steel head, and the channel of the traction trolley is gradually closed, and the strip steel is closed; after the strip steel is closed, the traction trolley continues to chase the strip steel head forward on the one hand, and on the other hand, pulls the strip steel head back backward, clamps the strip steel head near the front end of the traction trolley and pulls it to the entrance of the finishing roller.

[0110] The above description is only a preferred example of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.

[0111] Anything not described in the present invention is applicable to the prior art.
