Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of machining, in particular to a feeding system for welding electrode powder materials. Background Art

[0002] In the early stage, the powder blending of welding electrodes was completely manual. Workers weighed each powder material with a platform scale and then poured it into a powder bucket. After weighing each powder material in sequence and pouring it into the powder bucket, a bucket of powder materials was considered to be blended. This method had extremely low efficiency, high labor intensity, and could not meet the production requirements.

[0003] Subsequently, an automatic powder blending production line was developed and introduced. As long as various powder materials were poured into the specified powder bins, the platform scales of each bin were controlled by a computer, and pneumatic valves were opened to directly flow the powder materials into the bucket, thus easily completing the powder blending. Workers only needed to lift out the powder bucket after blending, place it in the designated area, and then put the empty bucket in for powder blending.

[0004] When the welding electrode production line needs powder materials for production, it is necessary to manually pull a flatbed cart to the powder blending area to pull the powder bucket to the corresponding production line. Manually transporting the powder materials has high labor intensity and low operation efficiency.

[0005] How to improve the efficiency of transporting the powder bucket is a problem to be solved. Summary of the Utility Model

[0006] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a feeding system for welding electrode powder materials, which solves the problem of low efficiency in transporting the powder bin.

[0007] To achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is as follows:

[0008] The utility model provides a feeding system for welding electrode powder materials, including a gantry crane, a hoist, a transfer vehicle, a material releasing rack, and a mixing bin. A first feeding track is arranged between the gantry crane and the hoist, and a second feeding track is arranged between the hoist and the transfer vehicle. The second feeding track and the material releasing rack are within the transfer range of the transfer vehicle;

[0009] The mixing bin is used to accommodate the mixed materials, and a bracket is arranged in cooperation with the mixing bin. The mixing bin is arranged in the bracket;

[0010] The gantry crane is used to lift the bracket, and the transfer vehicle is used to transfer the bracket.

[0011] Optionally, a plurality of suspension rods are arranged on the bracket to support the mixing bin.

[0012] Furthermore, a plurality of hanging blocks are arranged on the outer wall of the mixing bin, and the hanging blocks are lapped on the suspension rods.

[0013] Optionally, a first support rod and a second support rod are arranged at intervals at the bottom of the bracket, and the first support rod and the second support rod cooperate with the transfer vehicle for transfer.

[0014] Furthermore, a first limiting rod and a second limiting rod are also arranged at intervals on the bracket, and the first limiting rod and the second limiting rod are located at the bottom of the mixing bin.

[0015] Optionally, the transfer vehicle includes a first insertion rod and a second insertion rod that are movably arranged, and the transfer vehicle further includes a vehicle body. The first insertion rod and the second insertion rod are arranged in parallel, and the included angles between the first insertion rod and the second insertion rod and the vehicle body are obtuse angles.

[0016] Optionally, a first return track arranged in parallel with the first feeding track and a second return track arranged in parallel with the second feeding track are provided. Both the first return track and the second return track are used for returning the empty mixing bin.

[0017] Due to the application of the above technical solutions, the present utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0018] For a welding electrode powder feeding system of the present utility model, since a gantry crane is used to first lift the mixing bin, place the mixing bin on the first feeding track, then lift and transfer it to other positions through a hoist, then send out the mixing bin through the second feeding track, and then transfer it to the discharging rack through the transfer vehicle, the mixing bin can move in a three-dimensional space, which is more convenient compared to manual pulling.

[0029] In addition, the technical features involved in different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0030] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the electrode powder feeding system includes a gantry crane 1, a hoist 2, a transfer vehicle 3, a discharge rack 4, and a mixing bin 5. The mixing bin 5 is used to accommodate the mixed materials. There are powders configured in proportion in the mixing bin 5. A bracket 6 is arranged in cooperation with the mixing bin 5, and the mixing bin 5 is arranged in the bracket 6.

[0031] The gantry crane 1 first lifts the bracket 6, so that the mixing bin 5 is lifted together. The mixing bin 5 is fixed on the bracket 6, and the bracket 6 can also prevent the mixing bin 5 from being collided. There is a first feeding track 7 between the gantry crane 1 and the elevator 2. The gantry crane 1 places the mixing bin 5 and the bracket 6 on the first feeding track 7, and the first feeding track 7 transports the mixing bin 5 and the bracket 6 to the elevator 2 through transportation. The elevator 2 is docked with the output end of the first feeding track 7.

[0032] The elevator 2 lifts the mixing bin 5 and the bracket 6 upward to a set height, and then the elevator 2 carries the mixing bin 5 and the bracket 6 and moves to a set position. After the elevator 2 moves to the set position, there is a second feeding track 8 between the elevator 2 and the transfer vehicle 3. The first feeding track 7 and the second feeding track 8 are arranged on different floors.

[0033] The second feeding track 8 and the discharging rack 4 are within the transfer range of the transfer vehicle 3. The transfer vehicle 3 is docked with the output end of the second feeding track 8. The mixing bin 5 and the bracket 6 flow out from the second feeding track 8. The transfer vehicle 3 holds up the mixing bin 5 and the bracket 6, transfers the bracket 6 to the discharging rack 4, and the mixing bin 5 discharges the powder on the discharging rack 4.

[0034] A plurality of suspension rods 60 are arranged on the bracket 6. The plurality of suspension rods 60 support the mixing bin 5. The mixing bin 5 is located in the middle position of the bracket 6, and the suspension rods 60 are arranged around the mixing bin 5.

[0035] A plurality of hanging blocks 50 are arranged on the outer wall of the mixing bin 5. The hanging blocks 50 are lapped on the suspension rods 60. In this way, the suspension rods 60 support the hanging blocks 50. In this example, the hanging blocks 50 are welded to the suspension rods 60.

[0036] A first support rod 61 and a second support rod 62 are arranged at intervals at the bottom of the bracket 6. The first support rod 61 and the second support rod 62 cooperate with the transfer vehicle 3 for transfer. The transfer vehicle 3 holds up the first support rod 61 and the second support rod 62, and the first support rod 61 and the second support rod 62 can also strengthen the bracket 6.

[0037] A first limiting rod 63 and a second limiting rod 64 are also arranged at intervals on the bracket 6. The first limiting rod 63 and the second limiting rod 64 are located at the bottom of the mixing bin 5. Both ends of the first limiting rod 63 are connected to the first support rod 61 and the second support rod 62, and both ends of the second limiting rod 64 are connected to the first support rod 61 and the second support rod 62. The first limiting rod 63 and the second limiting rod 64 can jointly support the mixing bin 5 to prevent the mixing bin 5 from falling off.

[0038] Parallel to the first feeding track 7, there is a first return track 9. Parallel to the second feeding track 8, there is a second return track 10. Both the first return track 9 and the second return track 10 are used for returning the empty mixing bin 5. After the powder in the mixing bin 5 is released, the transfer vehicle 3 uses the first inserting rod 31 and the second inserting rod 32 to lift the bracket 6 and the mixing bin 5 for transfer, and turns to the second return track 10. The second return track 10 transfers the bracket 6 and the mixing bin 5 to the extraction area of the elevator 2. The elevator 2 extracts the bracket 6, transfers the bracket 6 and then places it on the first return track 9. The first return track 9 returns the bracket 6 and the mixing bin 5 to the storage area through circulation.

[0039] As Figure 4 shown, the transfer vehicle 3 includes a first inserting rod 31 and a second inserting rod 32 that are movably arranged. The transfer vehicle 3 further includes a vehicle body 30. The first inserting rod 31 and the second inserting rod 32 are arranged in parallel, and the first inserting rod 31 and the second inserting rod 32 also remain parallel. The first inserting rod 31 and the second inserting rod 32 can rise or fall simultaneously, and the included angles between the first inserting rod 31 and the second inserting rod 32 and the vehicle body 30 are obtuse angles. The first inserting rod 31 and the second inserting rod 32 are inserted at the bottoms of the first supporting rod 61 and the second supporting rod 62, and then lift the bracket 6 and the mixing bin 5 by rising. Then the transfer vehicle 3 moves to realize the transfer of the bracket 6 and the mixing bin 5. In addition, because the included angles are obtuse angles, the first inserting rod 31 and the second inserting rod 32 can maintain balance with the vehicle body 30, and the transfer vehicle 3 will not tip over.

[0040] Furthermore, a sliding plate 33 is slidably arranged on the vehicle body 30. The first inserting rod 31 and the second inserting rod 32 are respectively arranged on both sides of the sliding plate 33. The sliding plate 33 moves under the drive of a hydraulic cylinder (not shown in the figure). The vehicle body 30 is also provided with a position sensor (not shown in the figure), and the position sensor is used to assist the first inserting rod 31 and the second inserting rod 32 to lift the bracket 6.

[0041] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical concept and characteristics of the present invention. The purpose is to enable those who are familiar with this technology to understand the content of the present invention and implement it accordingly. It cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the present invention. All equivalent changes or modifications made according to the spirit of the present invention should be covered within the protection scope of the present invention.
