[0021] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] The utility model provides a steel sample discarding device, which can collect discarded stored steel samples and realize the function of automatic dumping, thereby reducing the labor intensity of the operator and improving work efficiency.

[0023] The present invention provides a steel sample discarding device, comprising a motor 1, an output shaft 2, a reducer 3, a connecting shaft 4, a main shaft 5, a V-groove 6, a bearing column A7, a sensor A8, a bearing column B9, and a sensor B10. The motor 1 is connected to the output shaft 2; the output shaft 2 is connected to the reducer 3; the reducer 3 is connected to the connecting shaft 4, and the reducer 3 is mounted on a wall 11. The motor 1 can be connected to the reducer 3 via the output shaft 2, or the motor 1 can be mounted on a bracket mounted on the ground. The connecting shaft 4 is connected to the main shaft 5; the main shaft 5 is connected to the V-groove 6. The main shaft 5 is mounted on the wall 11. The bearing columns A7 and B9 are located on either side of the V-groove 6. The sensor A8 is mounted on the bearing column A7; the sensor B10 is mounted on the bearing column B9. Both sensors A8 and B10 are electrically connected to the motor 1. Specifically, the interior of the V-shaped groove 6 has a storage space, an upward-facing opening, and a triangular cross-sectional shape. The main shaft 5 is connected to the V-shaped base of the V-shaped groove 6, and the V-shaped groove 6 has inclined left and right walls, the bottoms of which are welded to the V-shaped base. The height of the load-bearing column A7 is higher than that of the load-bearing column B9, and the height of the sensor A8 is higher than that of the sensor B10. The height of the load-bearing column A7 is higher than the height of the V-shaped base of the V-shaped groove 6, and the height of the load-bearing column B9 is lower than the height of the V-shaped base of the V-shaped groove 6. The heights of the load-bearing columns A7 and B9 are set according to actual on-site use requirements. There is one sensor A8, which is installed on the top of the load-bearing column A7. There is one sensor B10, which is installed on the top of the load-bearing column B9. The utility model occupies a small footprint, has a simple structure, is easy to use, avoids manual cleaning operations, and improves work efficiency.

[0024] Sensor A8 and sensor B10 are respectively used to detect the position information of the left side wall and the right side wall of the V-shaped groove 6. Sensor A8 and sensor B10 can be contact sensors or proximity switches.

[0025] When sensors A8 and B10 use proximity switches, the sensing distance is adjustable. In this embodiment, sensors A8 and B10 can be Omron photoelectric switches, model E3FB-RN22 or E3FB-RN12 2M, with an adjustable sensing distance range of 0 to 500 mm. The sensing distance can be set based on on-site requirements. When the V-groove 6 rotates counterclockwise to the detection position set by sensor A8, motor 1 stops. When the V-groove 6 rotates clockwise to the detection position set by sensor B10, motor 1 stops.

[0026] If sensors A8 and B10 are contact sensors, model number CS067A is acceptable. When V-groove 6 rotates counterclockwise until sensor A8 contacts the left sidewall of V-groove 6 (in this case, the contact surface of support column A7 contacts the left sidewall of V-groove 6, meaning the contact end of sensor A8 is flush with the contact surface of support column A7), motor 1 stops. When V-groove 6 rotates clockwise until sensor B10 contacts the right sidewall of V-groove 6 (in this case, the contact surface of support column B9 contacts the right sidewall of V-groove 6, meaning the contact end of sensor B10 is flush with the contact surface of support column B9), motor 1 stops.

[0027] A window is opened on the wall 11, and the other end of the main shaft 5 is rotatably connected to one side of the window of the wall 11. The motor 1 is installed on the other side of the window of the wall 11. The load-bearing column A7 and the sensor A8 are located on the inner side of the wall 11, and the load-bearing column B9 and the sensor B10 are located on the outer side of the wall 11. Figure 2 As shown, when the top surface of the V-shaped groove 6 is horizontal, the wall 11 can divide the cross section of the V-shaped groove 6 into two.

[0028] The working principle of the steel sample discarding device of the utility model is as follows:

[0029] 1. Turn on the power switch of the device (use the existing switch, connected to motor 1), and motor 1 starts working;

[0030] 2. The reducer 3 drives the connecting shaft 4 to move, thereby rotating the main shaft 5;

[0031] 3. Spindle 5 drives V-groove 6 counterclockwise. When it reaches bearing column A7, sensor A8 senses the left side of V-groove 6, and motor 1 stops. The device is now in its initial position, with the left side of V-groove 6 in contact with bearing column A7 and the right side parallel to wall 11. This allows V-groove 6 to be enclosed within wall 11, protecting the specimen from theft.

[0032] 4. The operator throws the discarded steel samples into the V-shaped groove 6 every day. When the V-shaped groove 6 is full, the dumping switch is activated (an existing switch is used and connected to the motor 1). The motor 1 starts working and drives the V-shaped groove 6 to move clockwise. When it reaches the position of the load-bearing column B9, the sensor B10 senses the right wall of the V-shaped groove 6 and the motor 1 stops working.

[0033] 5. At this time, the sample in the V-shaped groove 6 is poured into the bucket of the forklift by gravity, and is finally transported to the scrap steel room by the forklift.

[0034] 6. Activate the recovery switch and the device returns to its initial position.

[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the above embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
