Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of chain plate processing devices, and particularly relates to an automatic heating and pressurizing device for chain plates. Background Art

[0002] Chain plates are generally made of high-hardness carbide due to their usage requirements, and have characteristics such as high hardness and wear resistance. Due to the particularity of the material of the chain plate blank, it needs to be heated and softened before corresponding processing. For example, a heating and bending device for chain plate processing with the application number 202210264090.X includes a heating device and a bending device, and needs to be bent after heating for easy processing.

[0003] However, for the initial forming of the chain plate from the chain plate blank, since the chain plate blank has a large thickness, it is necessary to pressurize it to form a thinner chain plate structure for subsequent processing. However, the temperature of the chain plate blank is relatively high after heating, and manual handling has great potential safety hazards, and manually placing it at the press also has great potential safety hazards. Therefore, it is necessary to realize the automatic feeding, heating, and pressurizing processes of the chain plate. The above-mentioned device for chain plate bending is also not suitable for the pressurizing action of the chain plate. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an automatic heating and pressurizing device for chain plates, which completes the series connection of the heating process and the pressurizing process through the coordinated actions of a multi-axis manipulator and a clamping tooling, realizes automatic loading, material transfer, heating, and pressurizing to complete the heating and softening and pressurizing of the chain plate blank, improves the processing efficiency, and can avoid manual operation, with better safety protection.

[0027] The following are specific embodiments of the utility model and in combination with the drawings, the technical solutions of the utility model are further described, but the utility model is not limited to these embodiments.

[0028] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, a chain plate automatic heating and pressing device includes a loading position 11 and an unloading position 12, a multi-axis manipulator 21, a clamping mechanism 22, a feeding device 30, a heating device 40, and a pressing device 50. A clamping mechanism 22 is provided at the output end of the multi-axis manipulator 21. The clamping mechanism 22 includes a connecting profile 22a and two clamping toolings 22b provided on opposite sides of the connecting profile 22a. The feeding device 30 includes a translation module 31 and a carrying tooling 32. The carrying tooling 32 is arranged on the translation module 31 for carrying the chain plate blank fed from the loading position 11 by the clamping tooling 22b. The heating device 40 includes a power supply, a heating wire 41, and a heat conduction plate 42. The heating wire 41 is connected to the power supply, and a heat conduction plate 42 is provided at the end. The heat conduction plate 42 can quickly heat the chain plate blank on the carrying tooling 32 through its large area. The pressing device 50 presses the chain plate blank fed by the clamping tooling 22a and heated by the heat conduction plate 42, and the multi-axis manipulator 21 drives the clamping tooling 33 to transfer the pressed chain plate 100 to the unloading position 12.

[0029] In the present utility model, the chain plate blank is placed in the loading position 11. Driven by the multi-axis manipulator 21, the clamping mechanism 22a clamps the chain plate blank from the loading position 11 and places the chain plate blank in the carrying tooling 32. Driven by the translation module 31, the carrying tooling 32 drives the chain plate blank to move to the heat conducting plate 42 connected to the heating wire 41. The chain plate blank is heated by the heat conducting plate 42 to make it softened. Then, driven by the multi-axis manipulator 21, the clamping mechanism 22a feeds the softened chain plate blank into the pressing device 50, completes the pressing and forming of the chain plate blank to make it have the preliminary appearance shape of the chain plate, and places it in the discharging position 12 through the clamping mechanism 22.

[0030] The present utility model completes the heating and softening action and the pressing action of the chain plate blank through automated loading, material transfer, heating, and pressing, which can avoid contact with the high-temperature chain plate blank and the pressing equipment during the manual operation process, effectively ensuring the personal safety of the operator. Preferably, a fence 60 can be arranged on the periphery; through the coordinated action of the multi-axis manipulator 21 and the clamping tooling 22b, the series connection of the heating process and the pressing process is completed, which can improve the work efficiency.

[0031] Preferably, as shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6 The clamping tooling 22b includes a clamping cylinder 221, clamping jaws 222, and clamping plates 223. The clamping cylinder 221 is arranged on the connecting profile 22a. A pair of clamping jaws 222 are arranged on the clamping cylinder 221, and clamping plates 223 are symmetrically arranged at the ends. The clamping action is completed by clamping the opposite side walls of the chain plate blank or the chain plate with a pair of clamping plates 223.

[0032] More specifically, the clamping plate 223 includes a mounting portion 223a, an abutting portion 223b, and a supporting portion 223c. The mounting portion 223a is disposed on the jaw 222, the abutting portion 223b is disposed on the mounting portion 223a, and the supporting portion 223c is disposed on a side of the abutting portion 223b away from the mounting portion 223a and at a side end (not the middle position) of the abutting portion 223b. Since the chain plate blank or the chain plate in the initial processing and forming is not a regular plate-like structure, that is, the side edges thereof are not completely right-angled structures but have a certain gap with its placement position. Therefore, when the clamping plate 223 performs a clamping action, the supporting portion 223c can extend into the gap between the chain plate blank or the chain plate and its placement position, thereby having a certain supporting effect, facilitating the lifting of the chain plate blank or the chain plate, and also making it more convenient for the abutting portion 223b to abut against the side, and can more effectively achieve clamping. The abutting portion 223b and the supporting portion 223c in the present invention can be a combined structure, that is, a plurality of cushion blocks 2231 and L-shaped shovel plates 2232 are jointly locked on the mounting portion 223a. Different lengths of the abutting portion 223b can be realized by setting different numbers of cushion blocks 2231 to meet the clamping requirements for different chain plates.

[0033] Furthermore, a guiding inclined surface is provided at one end of the supporting portion 223c away from the abutting portion 223b, which is convenient for extending into the gap between the chain plate blank or the chain plate and its placement position.

[0034] In another embodiment of the present invention, the clamping mechanism 22b further includes a pressing tooling. The pressing tooling includes a first cross bar 224, a second cross bar 225, a guiding column 226, and a spring 227. The first cross bar 224 is disposed on the connecting profile 22a and is provided with a guiding hole penetrating its body. Two guiding columns 226 are respectively disposed on the second cross bar 225 and respectively extend into the two guiding holes (a limiting ring 2261 is provided on a side of the guiding column 226 away from the second cross bar 225 to prevent the guiding column 226 from detaching from the guiding hole). The spring 227 is sleeved on the guiding column 226 and its two ends respectively abut against the first cross bar 224 and the second cross bar 225. The second cross bar 225 is located between a pair of clamping plates 223 and is disposed opposite to the supporting portion 223c on the clamping plate 223. When clamping the chain plate blank or the chain plate, under the drive of the multi-axis manipulator 21, the second cross bar 225 first abuts against the chain plate blank or the chain plate. During the process that the supporting portion 223c on the clamping plate 223 is driven to extend by the jaw cylinder 221, the spring 227 can be slowly compressed. Through the reaction force of the spring 227, the chain plate blank or the chain plate is pressed against the supporting portion 223c. The cooperation between the two can further achieve longitudinal clamping on the basis of realizing transverse clamping, improving the clamping stability.

[0035] Since there are two clamping toolings 22b, there are also two pressing toolings. They are arranged at both ends of the connecting profile 22a in a matching manner, which can have higher operating efficiency.

[0036] For another example Figure 3 As shown, the loading tooling 32 includes a slide plate 321 and a loading plate 322. The slide plate 321 is arranged on the translation module 31, and the loading plate 322 is arranged at one end of the slide plate 321 for loading the chain plate blank, so as to realize the automatic feeding of the chain plate blank to the position of the heating device 40; Preferably, hollow structures are provided at the overlapping parts of the slide plate 321 and the loading plate 322. The chain plate blank is placed on the loading plate 322 and covers the hollow structure. The ends of the heating wires 41 form an enclosing structure in the vertical plane, that is, after the heating wires are bent and other treatments to form a flat-ring-shaped 411 at the middle position, they are respectively connected to the positive and negative electrodes of the power supply at both ends. A pair of heat conducting plates 42 are respectively arranged at the upper and lower ends inside the ring 411. The loading tooling 322 can be driven to extend into the above-mentioned ring 411, that is, between a pair of heat conducting plates 42. The heat conducting plates 42 can quickly heat the chain plate blank in the form of heat radiation through the hollow structures on the slide plate 321 and the loading plate 322, which can improve the heating efficiency.

Those skilled in the art of the present invention can make various modifications or supplements to the described specific embodiments or use similar ways to replace them, but will not deviate from the spirit of the present invention or exceed the scope defined by the appended claims.
