Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of steel rolling equipment, in particular to a sawing table control device. Background Art
[0002] The sawing table equipment is an indispensable part of the entire steel rolling mill. The sawing table equipment includes loading table, unloading table, roller table, shift fork, sawing machine and other equipment. Especially in the fixed-length sawing in the finishing workshop, the crane will lift the steel sections to be sawed to the loading end of the sawing table, and drive the steel sections to run to the sawing roller table through roller tables, chains and other equipment. After sawing, the sawn steel sections are output through the unloading table output roller table, and moved to the discharging roller table to prepare for processing in the next process.
[0003] The above working process has the following defects:
[0004] (1) The movement of the shift forks of the loading and unloading platforms depends on the operator's visual judgment, which often results in inaccurate judgments, that is, the shift forks either do not move forward to the correct position or move too far. The operator needs to repeatedly adjust the position of the shift forks, especially when working at night, where visibility is poor and adjusting the position of the shift forks becomes more difficult, which seriously restricts the continuity of production.
[0005] (2) When the shift fork moves the steel section, when it is about to reach the position, it is necessary to stop the motor in advance and rely on inertia to slow down the movement. This is also a manual judgment based on vision. If it stops too early, it will need a second manual jog operation to slowly move the material to the specified position. If it stops too late, the inertia movement will cause impact on the equipment and the surface of the steel section. This control mode not only affects the rhythm of production, but also cannot guarantee the surface quality of the steel section. Summary of the invention
[0006] The utility model provides a sawing material table control device, which realizes the automatic control process of the shift fork movement of the loading table and the unloading table. The shift fork moves accurately into place during the material shifting process to accurately pick up and feed the materials, thus solving the problems of production stagnation and surface quality of finished materials caused by poor vision or excessive impact force.

[0033] See Figure 3The PLC control system includes a CPU and a digital input module DI. The CPU adopts a 6ES7214-1AG40-0XB0 model CPU. The loading fork encoder adopts an incremental encoder, and the unloading fork encoder adopts an absolute encoder. The loading fork encoder signal lines A, B, and Z are connected to I0.0, I0.1, and I0.3 of the CPU, and the unloading fork encoder signal lines A, B, and Z are connected to I0.4, I0.5, and I0.7 of the CPU. The loading platform fork 2 corresponds to The automatic mode button SB1, manual mode button SB2, automatic start button SB3, manual forward button SB4 and manual reverse button SB5 are connected to I1.0, I1.1, I1.2, I1.3 and I1.4 of the CPU, and the automatic mode button SB6, manual mode button SB7, automatic start button SB8, manual forward button SB9 and manual reverse button SB10 corresponding to the unloading platform fork 7 are connected to I1.0, I1.1, I1.2, I1.3 and I1.4 of the digital input module DI.
[0034] See Figure 4 The input end of the shift fork driving motor is connected in series with a thermal relay FR, and the thermal relay FR is connected to the motor forward and reverse through AC contactors KM1 and KM2. The stator winding of the shift fork driving motor M is connected in series with a frequency-sensitive resistor RF.
[0035] Working principle: Set the zero point position of the loading platform fork 2, and start calibrating the incremental encoder at the tail of the loading fork drive motor 9 according to the stroke of the entire loading platform. Use the same process to calibrate the incremental encoder of the unloading platform fork 7.
[0036] 1. The loading platform fork 2 can be operated in automatic mode or manual mode by corresponding automatic mode button SB1 and manual mode button SB2:
[0037] (1) Automatic operation
[0038] After the automatic mode button SB1 is pressed, the shift fork starts to move forward. When the shift fork moves forward to the right position, after a delay of 2s, the shift fork starts to move backward, and the material on the material table starts to move toward the sawing machine 5, and then moves backward. Before reaching the backward deceleration point, the shift fork motor runs at a high speed. When reaching the backward deceleration point, the shift fork starts to run at a low speed and slowly approaches the target position. When it approaches the target position, the shift fork motor stops and the whole cycle ends.
[0039] (2) Manual operation
[0040] The operator can manually control the forward and backward movements of the fork through the manual forward button SB4 and the manual reverse button SB5 of the loading platform fork 2 on the operating table. Manual operation can be used as a second choice for normal production when an abnormality occurs in the automatic operation.
[0041] 2. Sawing:
[0042] When the shift fork pushes the material on the loading platform onto the sawing roller, the operator controls the roller drive motor to drive the sawing roller forward and backward, cooperates with the fixed-length baffle, manually moves the position of the fixed-length baffle according to the required sawing length, saws the material and transports it to the bottom of the sawing machine 5, completing the sawing action.
[0043] 3. The action of the unloading platform fork 7 can be selected through the corresponding automatic mode button SB6 and manual mode button SB7 to select automatic mode or manual mode operation:
[0044] (1) Automatic operation
[0045] After the automatic mode button SB6 is pressed, the shift fork starts to move forward, pushing the sawed material onto the lower material roller. When the shift fork moves forward to the forward deceleration point but not to the forward deceleration point, the shift fork motor runs at high speed. After reaching the forward deceleration point, the shift fork starts to run at low speed and slowly approaches the target position. After approaching the target position, the shift fork motor stops. After a delay of 2s, the shift fork motor starts to automatically move backward and moves backward to the backward target position at high speed. The shift fork motor stops, and the whole cycle ends.
[0046] (3) Manual operation
[0047] The operator can manually control the forward and backward movements of the fork through the manual forward button SB9 and the manual reverse button SB10 of the unloading platform fork 7 on the operating table. Manual operation can be used as a second choice for normal production when an abnormality occurs in the automatic operation.
