Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of tunnel furnaces, in particular to a return line lifting structure of a tunnel furnace. Background Art
[0002] With the continuous improvement of industrial automation level, tunnel furnaces have been widely used in various industrial production lines. Tunnel furnaces are mainly used for continuous heating and processing of workpieces to meet the needs of different process flows. In these production lines, workpieces often need to go through different processes, and sometimes they encounter equipment connections at different heights, which requires an effective lifting mechanism to ensure that the workpieces can smoothly transition between different heights.
[0003] The existing jacking structure for tunnel furnaces has certain limitations in adaptability and stability. First of all, the traditional jacking mechanism can only adapt to specific height changes. When there is a large height difference between different equipment in the production line or a large change in the size of the workpiece, the jacking operation may not be performed effectively. In addition, most jacking devices are not designed to fully consider the stability of the workpiece during the jacking process, and are prone to shaking or tilting, which not only affects the quality of the workpiece, but may also cause damage to the equipment. Therefore, designing a jacking structure with better adaptability and higher stability is of great significance to improving the overall efficiency and reliability of the production line.

Detailed implementation manner
[0017] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without making creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0018] Please refer to Figures 1-4, the present utility model provides a technical solution: a lifting structure for a return line of a tunnel furnace, which includes a base 1. Installation holes are provided at the four corners of the base 1 for fixed installation at a suitable position near the return line inside the tunnel furnace. On both sides of the top of the base 1, there are lifting cylinders 2. The connection between the bottom end of the lifting cylinder 2 and the base 1 is fixed by welding. A lifting rod 3 is movably arranged inside the lifting cylinder 2, and a bottom bracket 4 is connected between the tops of the lifting rods 3. Above the bottom bracket 4, there is a workpiece bracket 5. The workpiece bracket 5 is jointly composed of a left bracket 51, a middle bracket 52, and a right bracket 53. A positioning stud 9 connected to the bottom of the middle bracket 52 is inserted through the middle of the bottom bracket 4. And in the middle of the top of the base 1, a hydraulic cylinder 8 is fixedly installed through a fixing bolt. The output end of the hydraulic cylinder 8 is fixedly connected to a push rod 7. Both ends of the push rod 7 extend into the inside of the lifting cylinder 2 and are fixedly connected to the bottom ends of the lifting rods 3. On the tops of both the left bracket 51 and the right bracket 53, there are symmetrically arranged fixture brackets 6. The fixture brackets 6 are connected to the connection parts at the tops of the left bracket 51 and the right bracket 53 through linear guides. And inside the fixture brackets 6, there are pneumatic pressing blocks 61. And on the outside of the fixture brackets 6, a cylinder 62 for driving the pneumatic pressing block 61 to move is fixed by screws. The output end of the cylinder 62 is fixedly connected to the back side of the pneumatic pressing block 61. In this structure, the hydraulic cylinder 8 drives the push rod 7 to lift and lower on the base 1. The push rod 7 drives the two lifting rods 3 to slide in the lifting cylinders 2. When the lifting rods 3 lift and lower synchronously, the workpiece bracket 5 can be lifted through the bottom bracket 4. And the distance between the bottom bracket 4 and the workpiece bracket 5 can be pre-adjusted through the positioning stud 9, with stronger adaptability, capable of coping with the height difference changes between different equipment in the production line or the changes in workpiece sizes. And the workpiece bracket 5 can extend on both sides of the middle bracket 52 through the left bracket 51 and the right bracket 53, expanding the support range and further improving the applicability. At the same time, the pneumatic pressing block 61 on the fixture bracket 6 realizes the firm clamping of the workpiece under the drive of the cylinder 62, reducing the vibration and displacement of the workpiece during the lifting process, solving the problems of poor adaptability and insufficient stability of the traditional lifting mechanism, improving the reliability of the lifting and the continuous operation ability of the production line. On the corresponding sides of the left bracket 51 and the right bracket 53, there are movable grooves matching the structure of the middle bracket 52. And at the front and rear ends of the corresponding sides of the left bracket 51 and the right bracket 53, there are locking bolts connected through a threaded structure. In this structure, both the left bracket 51 and the right bracket 53 can extend and move on both sides of the middle bracket 52 through the movable grooves, and are limited by the locking bolts on the left bracket 51 and the right bracket 53, so as to control the relative distance between the left bracket 51 and the right bracket 53 and the middle bracket 52, and further adjust the effective support width of the entire workpiece bracket 5 according to the specific size of the workpiece. On both sides of the top of the bottom bracket 4, there are support rods 10 movably arranged through hinge pieces. And at the bottoms of both the left bracket 51 and the right bracket 53, there are also docking blocks 11 connected to the outer ends of the support rods 10 through hinge pieces. The docking block 11 is of a U-shaped structure. In this structure, when the bottom bracket 4 is lifted to a suitable height position,The support rod 10 can be tilted by rotation so that its top end is connected to the docking block 11 and fixed with screws. In this way, the support rod 10 can provide additional support force and play an auxiliary support role, ensuring the overall stability and balance of the workpiece bracket 5. The positioning stud 9 is inserted through the middle of the bottom bracket 4 through a threaded sleeve, and a threaded interface that matches the top structure of the positioning stud 9 is provided in the middle of the bottom of the middle bracket 52. With this structure, the user can rotate the positioning stud 9 and dock it with the threaded interface at the bottom of the middle bracket 52 to finely adjust the height position of the middle bracket 52 relative to the bottom bracket 4, ensuring that the workpiece bracket 5 can accurately adapt to the height differences of workpieces with different height requirements or between production line equipment. Vertical openings are provided on the corresponding sides of the lifting cylinders 2, and the ends of the push rods 7 are movably inserted through the vertical openings on the lifting cylinders 2. This structure enables the push rods 7 to perform smooth linear motion along the vertical openings under the driving force of the hydraulic cylinders 8, ensuring that the push rods 7 will not deviate horizontally during the lifting process, thereby ensuring the stability of the lifting rods 3 moving up and down inside the lifting cylinders 2.,
[0019] Working principle: When using the lifting structure of the tunnel furnace return line, first fix it at a position near the return line in the tunnel furnace through the mounting holes on the base 1, and then pre-rotate the positioning stud 9 to adjust the height position of the middle bracket 52 relative to the bottom bracket 4 until the bottom bracket 4 and the workpiece bracket 5 are adjusted to an appropriate distance. Then, the left bracket 51 and the right bracket 53 of the workpiece bracket 5 can extend on both sides of the middle bracket 52 through the movable slots and be limited by the locking bolts to adjust the effective support width of the entire workpiece bracket 5. At this time, when lifting is required, the hydraulic cylinder 8 drives the push rod 7 to lift and lower. The push rod 7 drives the lifting rod 3 to slide inside the lifting cylinder 2. When the lifting rod 3 rises, it jacks up the workpiece bracket 5 through the bottom bracket 4. When the bottom bracket 4 is jacked up to an appropriate height, the support rod 10 provides additional support force by connecting and fixing its top end to the docking block 11. At the same time, the pneumatic pressing block 61 on the fixture rack 6 firmly clamps the workpiece under the drive of the cylinder 62, thus completing a series of operations.,

Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.,
