Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to finished product length cutting equipment of a steel rolling bar production line, in particular to a device for separating short lengths and fixed lengths of bars. Background Art

[0002] The products of the rolled steel bar production line are mainly φ12mm~φ32mm straight threaded building materials, and the fixed length of the finished products is generally between 9 and 12 meters. In the production process, due to the influence of many factors such as the length error of the steel billet, the material tolerance between the rolling mills, and the segmentation accuracy of the double-length flying shear, a certain amount of bars that are less than the fixed length will inevitably be produced after the finished products are cut to the fixed length, which is called short length. Only those that meet the fixed length requirements are qualified finished products, called fixed length. Short length is an unqualified finished product, which is generally treated as scrap steel or sold at a reduced price. In the production process, fixed length and short length cannot be mixed. If short length is mixed with fixed length after packaging, it is a quality accident. Therefore, fixed length and short length must be collected and packaged separately before the finished products are collected and packaged. How to quickly separate fixed length and short length has always been a difficult problem that all steel mills want to solve. According to the on-site process layout, there are No. 1 finishing line 04 and No. 2 finishing line 05 on the side of the post-shear roller 01 at the roller entrance. A set of lifting baffles 03 are installed on the post-shear roller 01 between the two finishing lines to divert the incoming materials and collect them from the two finishing lines (such as Figure 1 As shown). The traditional method is to manually pick out the short lengths on the No. 1 finishing line 04 or No. 2 finishing line 05 after the shear roller 01, and then transport the picked short lengths out of the two finishing lines to the special short length collection tank for packaging through the lifting roller and lifting chain in the No. 1 finishing line 04 or No. 2 finishing line 05. This method can achieve the purpose, but the labor intensity is very high. This position is already the hardest position in the bar production line.

[0029] The improved short-length and fixed-length separation device of the utility model is respectively installed at the fixed-length position of 9 meters to 12 meters in front of the lifting baffle 03 of the first finishing line 04 at the entrance of the roller conveyor (such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Fig.14 The position of the electromagnet 154 at a low position is adjusted by the walking mechanism 17 to correspond to the current production length specification.

[0030] Principle of transverse movement: The first motor 173 in the walking mechanism 17 is powered, and the first reducer 172 rotates, driving the gears 171 on both sides of the output end of the first reducer 172 to rotate. Since the rack 7 meshing with the gear 171 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the beam 2, the rotation of the gear 171 will push the first reducer 172 to move horizontally, and the first reducer 172 is installed on the upper frame 18 of the trolley assembly 1. A pair of wheel assemblies 16 are installed at the front and rear of the upper frame 18. The wheels 161 in the wheel assembly 16 roll on the tracks 8 on both sides of the bottom of the beam 2. The rims of the four wheels 161 are designed on the inside to play a guiding role. The travel switches 9 are provided at the front and rear extreme positions of the track 8, which are the extreme positions of the trolley's transverse movement to prevent the trolley from rushing over. An electromagnetic brake structure is installed inside the first motor 173. When the power is off, the motor is braked, and the trolley assembly 1 will be locked in the power-off position through the gear 171 and the rack 7. Principle of lifting and lowering movement. The second motor 195 in the lifting mechanism 19 is powered, and drives the two eccentric wheels 192 to rotate through the second reducer 191. The deviation distance between the center of the guide wheel 193 and the rotation center of the eccentric wheel 192 determines the lifting stroke. The guide wheel 193 is a double-rim structure to prevent the slide rail 194 from deviating. The slide rail 194 is installed at the middle bottom position of the lifting arm 151 to protect the contact part between the lifting arm 151 and the guide wheel 193 and reduce wear. Since the center of the guide wheel 193 deviates from the rotation center, it can only make a circular motion around the output center of the second reducer 191, thereby driving the slide rail 194 and the lifting arm 151 to do lifting and lowering motion. Since one end of the lifting arm 151 is fixed to the lower frame 11 through the copper sleeve 12 and the long shaft 13, the lifting arm assembly 15 can only make a cycloidal motion with the center of the long shaft 13, and the electromagnet 154 installed at the other end of the lifting arm 151 realizes the lifting action.

[0031] All power lines and signal lines on the trolley assembly 1, such as the first motor 173, the second motor 195, the low proximity switch 102, the high proximity switch 103, and the electromagnet 154, move with the trolley. The terminal box of the cable is located at the fixed connection between the cable drag chain 4 and the top of the crossbeam 2. All cables are routed from the terminal box along the cable drag chain 4, and then pass through the hollow cable bracket 3 to reach each terminal use point on the trolley assembly 1. This reduces the wear of the cable when the trolley assembly 1 moves horizontally, and also avoids the risk of accidental injury caused by exposed cables.

[0032] Working principle of the equipment: In standby mode, the electromagnet 154 is adjusted to a high position through the lifting mechanism 19 and the power is cut off for braking. When working, when the last cut of the bar material cut to length is transported in groups to the lifting baffle 03 and aligned, the longest tail is the fixed length, which is directly below the electromagnet 154. At this time, the operator presses the automatic working switch, the second motor 195 in the lifting mechanism 19 is energized, and the eccentric wheel 192 starts to rotate counterclockwise (such as Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the lifting arm 151 starts to descend under the guidance of the guide wheel 193, and drives the electromagnet to descend at the same time. When the lifting arm 151 drops to the lowest position, the low-position proximity switch 102 signal is triggered. The electromagnet 154 is immediately energized by the issuance of this signal, and all the tails of the fixed lengths in contact with the electromagnet 154 are sucked. As the eccentric wheel 192 continues to rotate counterclockwise, when the lifting arm 151 rises to the highest position, the high-position proximity switch 103 signal is triggered. With the issuance of this signal, the second motor 195 is automatically powered off and braked. At this time, all the finished products that are not sucked and lifted up are short lengths. Then the operator opens the lifting baffle 03 and starts the roller 01 to continue to transport the short lengths that are not sucked forward to the second finishing line 05 for separate collection. After the short length has moved forward, the operator finally presses the power-off switch of the electromagnet 154. At this time, all the sucked fixed lengths are released and fall freely back into the roller table 01. The electromagnet 154 remains at the highest point, waiting for the next working cycle. All the released fixed lengths can be continuously collected through the No. 1 finishing line 04 or the No. 2 finishing line 05 (such as Figure 1 As shown in the figure), because there is no short length mixed in. At this time, the function of separating short length from fixed length is achieved (as shown in the figure). Fig.14 As shown in the figure, in order to adapt to different specifications of bars, the rigidity of small and large specifications is different, that is, when the electromagnet 154 sucks one end of the fixed length and lifts it, the bending arc of the small and large specifications of the bars is also different. In order to achieve the vertical attraction of the bar and the magnet 154, the angle of the electromagnet 154 can be changed by adjusting the screw rod 157 and the locking nut 156 to prevent the steel from falling off.

[0033] The utility model utilizes the electromechanical action of the equipment to replace some simple, repetitive and labor-intensive positions, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing labor intensity or optimizing human resources. The labor intensity of the position is reduced by at least 80%. And because the staff is affected by various factors such as age, skills, and physical condition, the accuracy of the short ruler picking work is very unstable. After adopting the utility model device, the qualified rate of the factory products is increased by more than 50%.
