Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a ingot centering and trimming machine, which relates to the technical field of ingot centering and clamping assembly lines, and particularly relates to a device for centering, positioning, clamping and trimming burr edges of an ingot. Background Art

[0002] The existing ingot centering and clamping fixture has the following deficiencies:

[0003] At present, by means of the Internet, information on ingot trimming is searched, and no ingot centering and trimming equipment on the assembly line is retrieved.

[0004] The new fixture design should fully consider the characteristics and processing requirements of the ingot, improve the automation, light weight and reliability of the fixture to adapt to a wider production scenario; aiming at the above deficiencies, the technological innovation of the ingot centering and trimming machine is mainly to improve stability, achieve centering and positioning, and optimize the clamping force control; this will help improve the production efficiency and quality of trimming the burr edges of the ingot and reduce the production cost. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to overcome the deficiencies of the existing ingot centering and trimming machine technology, an ingot centering and trimming machine is invented.

[0006] An ingot centering and trimming machine includes: a control cabinet, a conveyor, an ingot, an ingot centering and trimming machine frame component, and a centering fixture component;

[0007] The ingot centering and trimming machine frame component includes a right scraper, a left scraper, an ingot centering and trimming machine frame, a guide shaft seat plate, and a guide shaft; the ingot centering and trimming machine frame is made of welded section steel, and guide shaft seat plates are fixedly connected to both transverse ends. Two guide shafts are fixedly connected in the holes of the guide shaft seat plates. The guide shafts are the installation and guiding benchmarks for the centering claws, and move closer or separate from each other along the axis of the guide shafts; on the side of the ingot centering and trimming machine frame close to the trimming station in the longitudinal direction, there are a right scraper and a left scraper; on the top of the ingot centering and trimming machine frame, there are a cylinder mounting seat plate and screw holes for fixing a swing cylinder and a middle support;

[0008] The centering fixture component described above includes a swing cylinder, a cylinder mounting plate, centering claws, racks, a middle support, and a gear; the swing cylinder is the power source of the centering fixture; the swing cylinder is fixedly connected to the cylinder mounting plate; the cylinder mounting plate is fixedly connected to the top of the ingot centering and trimming machine frame by bolts; the output shaft of the swing cylinder is vertically downward and is connected to a cylindrical gear through a coupling to drive the cylindrical gear to rotate; the middle support is a box structure and is the installation reference for the gear and rack. The upper end surface of the middle support is fixedly connected to the ingot centering and trimming machine frame, and a gear and rack are installed in the middle. The gear rotates relative to the middle support, the gear meshes with the rack, and the rack moves linearly relative to the middle support; there are two racks, symmetrically installed on both sides of the gear and meshing with the gear. When the gear rotates, the two racks move linearly towards or away from each other; there are two centering claws, and two guiding holes are provided on the centering claws. The guiding holes are respectively in sliding fit with the guiding shafts. The centering claws are fixedly connected to the ends of the racks, and the linear movement of the racks drives the centering claws to move along the axis of the guiding shafts.

[0009] The connection relationship of the ingot centering and trimming machine is as follows: The conveyor transports the ingot to the positioning station. The swing cylinder drives the cylindrical gear to rotate, and the cylindrical gear drives the two racks to move linearly relative to each other. The racks drive the centering claws to move closer to or away from each other.

[0010] Centering state: The swing cylinder drives the gear to rotate. The forward rotation of the gear drives the two racks to move towards each other. The racks drive the centering claws to move towards each other along the guiding shafts to center and clamp the ingot.

[0011] Separation and relaxation state: The swing cylinder drives the gear to rotate. The reverse rotation of the gear drives the two racks to move away from each other. The racks drive the centering claws to move away from each other along the guiding shafts and leave the ingot.

[0012] The two guiding shafts described above are arranged in parallel.

[0013] The technological method for centering, clamping, and trimming the short sides of the ingot is as follows:

[0014] Standby state: First, check that all equipment is safe and reliable and meets the requirements of safe production, and the conveyor has been started and is running normally; then confirm that all components of the centering and trimming machine are in a normal working state, and the centering claws are in a separated and relaxed state.

[0015] Method step one: Check the technical requirements of the ingot centering and trimming machine, and the conveyor transports the ingot to the positioning station.

[0016] Method step two: Y-axis positioning process: The swing cylinder drives the gear to rotate. The gear rotates forward, and the gear drives

[0017] the rack to move linearly. The forward rotation of the gear drives the two racks to move towards each other. The racks drive the centering claws to move towards each other along the guiding shafts to center and clamp, realizing the Y-axis positioning of the ingot.

[0018] Method Step 3. X-axis positioning process: The clamping jaws push the ingot towards the positioning jaws and clamp it to achieve the X-axis positioning of the ingot;

[0019] Method Step 4. Y-axis relaxation process: The swing cylinder drives the gear to rotate. The gear rotates in reverse and drives the centering jaws to move away from each other through the rack, and the centering jaws separate and relax the ingot;

[0020] Method Step 5. Feeding and trimming short sides process; The feeder feeds the ingot to the long side trimming station. During the process of feeding the ingot forward, the right scraper and the left scraper arranged on the longitudinal side of the ingot centering and trimming machine frame close to the trimming station simultaneously trim the left and right short sides of the ingot;

[0021] The ingot is sent out of the positioning process, and the work of the ingot centering and trimming machine is completed, waiting for the next cycle.

[0022] Description of the short side trimming process: The servo motor II of the lead screw slide assembly II of the positioning clamping feeder drives the lead screw II to rotate forward. The lead screw II drives the slide II to move linearly forward, and the slide II drives the positioning fixture assembly fixedly connected thereto together with the ingot to be sent to the long side trimming station; During this feeding process, the ingot passes through the ingot centering and trimming machine frame, and the right scraper and the left scraper arranged on the longitudinal side of the ingot centering and trimming machine frame close to the trimming station simultaneously complete the short side trimming work of the ingot.

[0023] The long side of the ingot is trimmed by the ingot long side trimming device.
