Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of transportation equipment, and more specifically, to a safety bridge used in a cable trench of a coil-carrying trolley. Background Art
[0002] There are four existing uncoiling trolleys in the first-phase rolling mill to realize the function of transferring coils across bays. The full-stroke channel length of the trolley is about 35 meters, and the depth of the pit is nearly 8 meters. To ensure safety, a heavy-duty drag chain with a flake-shaped drag plate structure is used to cover the pit and reduce the harm caused by high-altitude falling. The drag chain with a drag plate is connected to the trolley and moves in a reciprocating circular motion along with the trolley. It has been used for 13 years. In the past six months, three-level accidents have occurred continuously. The main reasons include: 1. Fatigue deformation of the drag chain and wear of the edge guard; 2. The walking track is deformed and arched outwards, causing the drag chain to derail; 3. The drag plate of the drag chain is impacted and deformed and twisted by the broken strip steel; 4. The cylindrical rollers of the chain are worn into abnormal shapes and skip teeth. At the same time, the main reasons for the time length of the three-level accidents include: 1. This heavy-duty drag chain is located under the foundation on the top of the pit and cannot be directly lifted out of the pit; 2. Once the 2-meter vertical section of the circular heavy-duty drag chain falls off, due to the limited space position of the pit foundation, it is extremely difficult to repair and lift; 3. For the circular drag chain with a total length of nearly 90 meters, it is difficult to adjust the bilateral tension and position, and the full stroke needs to be repeatedly tested. According to the actual cost of purchasing chain links and drag plates, for the existing drag chain with a drag plate, the spare part cost for replacing all the safety drag plate-related components of the four trolleys is about 1 million yuan or more, and the labor cost is estimated to be about 100,000 yuan to achieve the effect of complete repair.
[0003] After years of use, the overall drag chain is severely corroded, and the chain plates and chains are severely worn. The time cost, labor cost, and spare part cost of usual maintenance are relatively high. The chain is installed circularly with a total length of nearly 90 meters. If there is a deviation phenomenon, it is very troublesome to adjust and it is not easy to achieve the expected effect. The replacement and adjustment of the chain are carried out in a narrow space position and are high-altitude operations, which are time-consuming and laborious. In the past six months, three relatively large accidents have occurred continuously, and the handling is very difficult. Once a failure occurs and the trolley cannot transport materials, it is necessary to stop the machine for handling. To solve this frequently occurring accident, improve the production line time per unit, produce more qualified products, and reduce various maintenance costs, it is very necessary to transform the chain plates, so we propose a safety bridge used in a cable trench of a coil-carrying trolley to solve the above existing problems.

[0026] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0027] Embodiment:
[0028] Please refer to Figures 1-4 , a safety bridge used for the cable trench of a coil transfer car, including a foundation 1, a walking tunnel 2 opened at the foundation 1, and a coil transfer car body 9 installed inside the walking tunnel 2. On one side of the top opening of the walking tunnel 2, first positioning tracks 3 laid on the surface of the foundation 1 are symmetrically arranged, and on the other side of the top opening of the walking tunnel 2, second positioning tracks 4 laid on the surface of the foundation 1 are symmetrically arranged;
[0029] A bridge body 5 is installed above the first positioning track 3, and safety guardrails 6 are fixedly connected to both sides of the bridge body 5. A lower guide wheel 7 connected to the first positioning track 3 is installed at the bottom of the bridge body 5;
[0030] A cylinder 8 is provided below the bridge body 5 and between the symmetrically arranged first positioning rails 3, and the movable end of the cylinder 8 is drivingly connected to the bridge body 5;
[0031] Both sides of the bridge body 5 are equipped with electric double-control switches, and the electric double-control switches are electrically connected to the cylinder 8;
[0032] It should be noted that the retractable safety bridge is designed to be telescopically moved by a long-stroke cylinder 8. A first positioning track 3 is provided at the bottom of the bridge body 5. After the bridge body 5 is extended, it crosses the walking tunnel 2, and the lower guide wheel 7 enters the second positioning track 4 on the opposite side to achieve stable movement and precise positioning. It is equipped with double-sided heightened safety guardrails 6 to ensure safe passage.
[0033] The electric double-control switches respectively arranged on both sides of the bridge body 5 can control the opening and closing of the bridge body 5. The electric double-control switches control the reversing of the pneumatic solenoid valve connected to the cylinder 8, thereby realizing the extension and retraction of the cylinder 8, driving the bridge body 5 to open and close. When people pass through, the bridge body 5 is extended and passes safely. When the coil transport trolley body 9 needs to pass through, the bridge body 5 is retracted to realize the normal passage of the steel coil 10 with the maximum coil diameter.
[0034] The estimated investment cost of four telescopic safety bridges is 100,000 to 200,000 yuan, and the subsequent maintenance cost is low.
[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, the symmetrically laid first positioning rails 3 and the symmetrically laid second positioning rails 4 correspond to each other;
[0036] It should be noted that the movable end of the cylinder 8 pushes the bridge body 5 to move, so that the lower guide wheel 7 moves in coordination with the first positioning track 3. After the bridge body 5 is extended, it crosses the walking tunnel 2, and the lower guide wheel 7 enters the second positioning track 4 on the opposite side, achieving stable movement and precise positioning.
[0037] like Figure 4 As shown, the bridge body 5 adopts a double-layer thickened bottom plate;
[0038] It should be noted that the bridge body 5 adopts a double-layer thickened bottom plate, which can effectively ensure the strength of the bottom of the bridge body 5.
[0039] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown in the figure, the cylinder 8 is fixedly connected to the surface of the foundation 1 through a bracket, and the movable end of the cylinder 8 is connected to the overpass body 5 through a connecting ear. The displacement of the movable end of the cylinder 8 is greater than the span of the top opening of the walking tunnel 2;
[0040] It should be noted that the telescopic movement of the overpass body 5 can be realized normally, so that the overpass body 5 can span the walking tunnel 2.
[0041] As Figure 1 shown in the figure, a steel coil 10 is placed on the saddle part at the top of the coil handling trolley body 9;
[0042] It should be noted that by moving the coil handling trolley body 9 inside the walking tunnel 2, the transfer of the steel coil 10 is facilitated.
[0043] During use: During normal production, the overpass body 5 is extended by the cylinder 8 so that the overpass body 5 is in the extended state for the convenience of the operator to pass. After the steel coil 10 is rolled and the quality inspection of the steel coil 10 is completed on the saddle of the coil handling trolley body 9, the cylinder 8 connecting the overpass body 5 retracts so that the overpass body 5 is in the retracted state. At this time, the coil handling trolley body 9 walks to the lower part of the steel coil 10 and jacks it up. The coil handling trolley body 9 walks inside the walking tunnel 2 to another adjacent workshop and is lifted by a crane for the next processing step.
[0044] The above is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present invention; however, the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, according to the technical solution of the present invention and its improved concept, makes equivalent substitutions or changes, and should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
