[0002] At present, traditional steel bar conveying devices have gradually faded out of people's sight because of many limitations such as low mechanization degree and low production efficiency. Many traditional steel bar processing and conveying rely on manual handling and piecemeal processing, making the whole process relatively cumbersome and inefficient, time-consuming and laborious. Moreover, most steel bar conveying and processing on the market do not have a perfect integrated implementation method, and additional steel bar storage and classification are required. The steps are numerous and complex, which is not conducive to the automatic processing and operation of on-site steel bars. Content of the Utility Model

[0003] In order to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art, the technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a device for transporting and storing steel bars, so as to solve the problems of consuming more manpower in steel bar transportation and low efficiency due to repeated operations for many times, realize high-efficiency automatic transportation of steel bars, and be able to store and classify them for easy access.

[0004] To achieve the above object, the utility model provides a device for transporting and storing steel bars, including: a steel bar straightening part, including a steel bar concentrator for steel bar aggregation, a spring driver installed in the steel bar concentrator and driving the steel bar to transport forward, and a straightener for correcting the steel bar; a transportation and cutting part, connected to the steel bar straightening part, including a conveyor belt for driving the corrected steel bar to move forward and a steel bar cutter for cutting the steel bar; a classification and storage part, connected to the transportation and cutting part, including a semi-circular feeder for receiving the cut steel bars, two storage tanks, and a classification moving rod. The classification moving rod acts to drop the steel bars of a specified length from the semi-circular feeder into different storage tanks for classification and storage.

[0005] Preferably, the straightener includes two vertically straightening rollers, two horizontally straightening rollers, and a motor driving the two vertically straightening rollers and the two horizontally straightening rollers to rotate in opposite directions. The motor drives the two vertically straightening rollers and the two horizontally straightening rollers to rotate to correct the steel bar from four dimensions.

[0006] Further, the steel bar concentrator is installed at one end of the workbench, and the two vertically straightening rollers and the two horizontally straightening rollers are installed at the other end of the workbench through two spaced support plates; the driving end of the spring driver is fixed in the steel bar concentrator, driving the spring to extend and contract, so that the concave slider moves linearly, driving the steel bar on the concave slider to transport forward.

[0007] Preferably, the steel bar cutter is installed on a crank - connecting rod mechanism, and the crank - connecting rod mechanism is installed on a rotating wheel disc. The reciprocating rotation of the rotating wheel disc drives the steel bar cutter to rotate and cut the steel bar.

[0008] Preferably, the classification moving rod is located between two storage slots. Vertical rods are installed on the outer sides of the two storage slots. The moving rod of the classification moving rod rotates under the drive of a servo motor and in cooperation with a transmission gear to form a closed system with the vertical rod, leaving only the other storage slot for storing steel bars.

[0009] Furthermore, a four - footed motor is fixed on the vertical rod of the semi - arc feeder. A semi - arc robotic arm is installed on the rotating shaft of the four - footed motor. The semi - arc robotic arm rotates to pour the cut steel bars into the storage slot.

[0010] Furthermore, an opening plate is provided at one end of the conveyor belt close to the steel bar cutter. A number of rollers are installed on both sides of the opening plate to gather the steel bars on the conveyor belt at the center.

[0012] The transportation and cutting part is composed of a conveyor belt, a steel bar cutter and a ranging sensor. The steel bar enters the conveyor belt under the action of the straightener. The conveyor belt moves under the drive of a motor to drive the steel bar to move. When the extended length of the steel bar reaches the set value of the ranging sensor, the steel bar cutter quickly cuts the steel bar. The cut part is received by the classification and storage part.

[0013] The semi - arc feeder of the classification and storage part accepts the cut steel bars and periodically tilts towards the storage slot side to send the steel bars to the storage slot. The classification moving rod cooperates with the vertical rod to make the steel bars roll into the designated storage slot, realizing the classification and storage of steel bars of a specified length.

[0016] 2. The device is jointly controlled by a controller. When the steel bar is straightened and extends a certain length, the ranging sensor will send a signal to drive the steel bar cutter to cut a specified length. Then the steel bar is sent to the designated storage slot for storage by the semi - arc feeder, which is efficient and accurate;

[0017] 3. Compared with traditional steel bar transportation, this device has an additional function of storage and classification, which can better distribute the final products, allocate the steel bars to the required places, making it more convenient and saving sorting time and labor.

The perforated plate 104 is located at one end of the conveyor belt 102 close to the steel bar cutter 107. A number of rollers are installed on both sides of the perforated plate 104, which are used to gather the steel bars on the conveyor belt 102 at the center and pass through the holes one by one under the action of thrust to achieve subsequent precise cutting. The rotating wheel disc 105 rotates reciprocally during operation, and cooperates with the crank - connecting rod mechanism 106 thereon to realize the rotary cutting of the steel bar cutter 107 thereon. The ranging sensor 108 obtains distance information through the reception and emission of laser signals, and is linked with the rotating wheel disc 105 to stop and cut the steel bar at a specified length.

[0036] As Figure 3As shown in the figure, the steel bar straightening part 200 mainly consists of a workbench 201, a steel bar concentrator 202, a spring driver 203, a concave slider 204, a reel 205, a support plate 206, a rotating shaft a207a, a rotating shaft b207b, a large runner a208a, a large runner b208b, a corner motor a209a, a corner motor b209b, a small corner motor a210a, a small corner motor b210b, a stepping motor a211a, a stepping motor b211b, a runner a212a, a runner b212b, and a single-hole steel plate 213. The workbench 201 is used to support and stabilize the entire mechanism, and other workpieces can be installed on it. The steel bar concentrator 202 is used for the aggregation of steel bars. The bundled steel bars are placed on the steel bar concentrator 202 for subsequent straightening treatment. The driving end of the spring driver 203 is fixed inside the steel bar concentrator 202 to drive the spring to extend and contract, so that the concave slider 204 moves linearly, indirectly driving the steel bar on the concave slider 204 to be transported forward.
