Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of titanium ingot smelting, in particular to a material inlet and outlet guide rail for titanium ingot smelting. Background Art

[0002] As is known, titanium ingot casting requires placing the raw titanium ingot in a vacuum consumable melting furnace; the raw titanium ingot is cylindrical, and each raw titanium ingot weighs more than 100 kilograms, so it needs to be loaded with the help of lifting equipment; the existing loading method is to first take out the remaining head of the previous raw titanium ingot in the vacuum consumable melting furnace, and then lift the new raw titanium ingot by lifting equipment for loading. The loading operation takes a long time and cannot keep up with the casting production rhythm, delaying the production period; therefore, it is urgent to develop a device that can automatically load materials to reduce the loading operation time;

[0003] A Chinese patent (publication number: CN117516179A) discloses an automatic feeding machine and a feeding method for round steel used in a medium frequency furnace; the feeding machine of the patent includes a feeding assembly, an arranging assembly is arranged on one side of the feeding assembly, and a feeding assembly is arranged on one side of the arranging assembly. A raw material box filled with material rods is placed inside a support frame by a forklift, and the first cylinders on both sides are started to extend, so that the rollers on both sides are against the back of the support frame. As the first cylinders extend, the support frame is turned over on the outer wall of the sleeve rod through a sleeve. During the turning, the baffle limits the upper end of the raw material box close to the outside to prevent the material rods from falling when the raw material box is rotated to an inclined position, so that the material rods can be poured into the interior of the shell, and there is no need to manually add the material rods to the interior of the shell; however, in actual use, it is found that the patent is only applicable to round steel with a small diameter and light weight. If the round steel has a large diameter and a heavy weight, it is easy to get stuck and cannot be fed normally. Utility Model Content

[0018] The present invention can be explained in detail through the following embodiments. The purpose of disclosing the present invention is to protect all technical improvements within the scope of the present invention. In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that if there are terms such as "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", etc. indicating directions or positional relationships, they only correspond to the drawings of the present application for the convenience of describing the present invention, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction.

[0019] Embodiment 1, in combination with Figures 1 to 3 , a feed and discharge guide rail for titanium ingot smelting, comprising a feed track 1 and a discharge track 2; the feed track 1 is tilted, and its feed end is higher than the discharge end. After the titanium ingot is placed on the feed end of the feed track 1, the titanium ingot can roll toward the discharge end of the feed track 1 under the action of its own gravity; the feed track 1 is provided with a plurality of partition baffles 3 for separating the titanium ingots along the length direction, and the partition baffles 3 are in a teardrop-shaped structure, and a rotating shaft 4 is provided between the small end of the partition baffle 3 and its center of gravity, which is rotatably connected to the feed track 1, that is, when not subject to external force, the large end of the partition baffle 3 naturally droops under the action of its own gravity, so that the partition baffle 3 is in a vertical state; the titanium ingot can crush the partition baffle 3 during rolling along the feed track 1, so that the partition baffle 3 is turned from a vertical state to a horizontal state. When the titanium ingot leaves the corresponding dividing baffle 3, the dividing baffle 3 restores its vertical state under the action of its own gravity; when the titanium ingot stays at the small end position of the corresponding dividing baffle 3, the large end part of the dividing baffle 3 is higher than the feeding track 1, blocking the subsequent titanium ingot from continuing to move forward. When the titanium ingot at the small end position of the dividing baffle 3 leaves, the large end of the dividing baffle 3 automatically droops, allowing the subsequent titanium ingot to continue to move forward; that is, by setting up a plurality of dividing baffles 3, the plurality of titanium ingots on the feeding track 1 can be automatically fed in sequence independently, thereby avoiding the plurality of titanium ingots from relying on each other, so that the titanium ingot at the discharge end of the feeding track 1 is subject to a greater driving force from the subsequent titanium ingots; at the same time, the dividing baffle 3 does not require additional power drive, has a simple structure, and effectively reduces the cost of use;

[0020] In order to prevent the partition baffle 3 from getting stuck accidentally, the partition baffle 3 has not yet returned to the vertical state when the titanium ingot leaves the small end of the partition baffle 3. The shaft body of the rotating shaft 4 is provided with a torsion spring for deflecting the large end of the partition baffle 3 downward, that is, the partition baffle 3 can return to the vertical state under the dual action of the torsion spring and its own gravity, thereby effectively preventing the partition baffle 3 from getting stuck accidentally.

[0021] An inclined chute 5 is provided at the discharging end of the feeding track 1, and a telescopic cylinder 6 for pushing the titanium ingot is provided at the lower end of the chute 5. When the titanium ingot rolls into the chute 5, it can slide toward the lower end of the chute 5 under the action of its own gravity until it contacts the corresponding telescopic end of the telescopic cylinder 6. The telescopic cylinder 6 can be controlled to extend to push the titanium ingot to feed; a discharging track 2 is provided between the telescopic cylinder 6 and the chute 5. After the titanium ingot is smelted, a section of the material head will remain. The telescopic cylinder 6 can be controlled to shorten, and the material head will slide along the chute 5 toward the lower end of the chute 5 until it falls into the discharging track 2. The operator can recover the material head from the discharging track 2;

[0022] During use, the operator can put multiple titanium ingots in from the feed end of the feed track 1, and the titanium ingots can roll to the discharge end of the feed track 1 under the action of their own gravity; when the previous titanium ingot stays at the small end position of the corresponding dividing baffle 3, the large end part of the dividing baffle 3 is raised above the feed track 1, blocking the next titanium ingot from moving forward, thereby separating the multiple titanium ingots and achieving the purpose of automatically loading the multiple titanium ingots on the feed track 1 one by one; when the titanium ingot rolls into the chute 5, the telescopic cylinder 6 is controlled to extend to push the titanium ingot to be fed and smelted; when the titanium ingot is smelted until only the head of the material is left, the telescopic cylinder 6 is controlled to shorten, and the head of the material slides along the chute 5 to the lower end of the chute 5 under the action of its own gravity until it falls into the discharge track 2, and the operator can recover the head of the material from the discharge track 2.

[0023] Embodiment 2, in combination with Figures 1 to 3 , a feed and discharge guide rail for titanium ingot smelting, which is different from Example 1 in that, on the basis of Example 1, legs 7 are provided at both ends of the bottom of the feed track 1, the top of the legs 7 is hinged to the bottom of the feed track 1, and the legs 7 located at the feed end of the feed track 1 are telescopic rods with adjustable lengths, that is, the inclination of the feed track 1 can be adjusted by adjusting the length of the telescopic rod to ensure that the titanium ingot can smoothly roll along the feed track 1 from the feed end to the discharge end under the action of its own gravity; it should be noted that when adjusting the inclination of the feed track 1, avoid making the inclination of the feed track 1 too large, which will cause the titanium ingot to roll too fast and produce a large impact force on the chute 5;

[0024] The feed end of the feed track 1 is provided with an upward arc-shaped bending portion, which can play a blocking role to prevent the titanium ingot from accidentally rolling off the feed end of the feed track 1 during the loading process.

[0025] Embodiment 3, in combination with Figures 1 to 3 , a feed and discharge guide rail for titanium ingot smelting. On the basis of Example 1 or 2, a cross dial 8 driven by a motor is provided between the feed end of the feed track 1 and the chute 5, that is, the titanium ingots at the discharge end of the feed track 1 can be driven to roll toward the chute 5 one by one in sequence by rotating the cross dial 8 90 degrees each time, thereby preventing the titanium ingots at the discharge end of the feed track 1 from contacting the head of the titanium ingot, resulting in the head being unable to roll to the discharge track 2 under the action of its own gravity.

[0026] The parts of the present invention that are not described in detail are prior art. It is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the above-mentioned exemplary embodiments, and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic features of the present invention. Therefore, no matter from which point of view, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-restrictive, and it is intended that all changes that fall within the meaning and scope of equivalent elements are included in the present invention.
