Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of feeding equipment, in particular to a feeding device for hot copper segments. Background Art
[0002] A gas valve is a safety feature of gas pipeline projects, used to shut off, connect, and regulate gas in the pipeline. It features excellent control characteristics and a tight seal. The gas valve body is primarily made of copper, requiring the copper segment to be placed in a heating device for heating. A worker then clamps the heated copper segment to a specific location near a forging machine. A robotic arm or gripper then takes the hot copper segment to the forging machine for forging, forming the rough blank of the valve body. The heated copper segment is clamped to a specific location near the forging machine, a considerable distance away. Not only do workers need to constantly monitor the location for vacancies, but they also have to individually clamp the hot copper segments to a distant location, a time-consuming and labor-intensive process.

[0015] The following describes the embodiments of the present utility model in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0016] See Figures 1 to 4The present invention provides a feeding device for hot copper segments, comprising a first mounting block 1 and a second mounting block 3. The first mounting block is mounted on a device for heating the copper segments, and the second mounting block is mounted on a forging machine. A V-shaped, inclined slideway 2 is connected above the first mounting block 1 via an adjustment assembly 10. A conveyor frame 4 is horizontally mounted on the upper end of the second mounting block 3. A conveyor chain 6, driven by a first motor 5, is rotatably mounted within the conveyor frame 4. Baffles are symmetrically positioned above the conveyor chain 6 at the upper end of the conveyor frame 4. A limit block 7 is longitudinally positioned on the left side of the top of the conveyor frame 4. After being heated, the hot copper segments slide down the slideway one by one and then fall onto the conveyor chain (the inclined hot copper segments fall horizontally onto the conveyor chain). The copper segments, blocked by the baffles on both sides, are conveyed horizontally to the left side of the conveyor chain and abut against the limit blocks. A robot or gripper external to the device grabs the hot copper segments and carries them to the forging machine, where they are forged into rough valve body blanks.
[0017] An escape groove is provided on the left side of the upper end of the slide 2. A second motor 8 is provided on the slide 2. A roller 9 is keyed to the output shaft of the second motor 8 and extends longitudinally into the escape groove. Sometimes, multiple hot copper segments come down the slide at once, which can easily cause a blockage. The roller driven by the second motor can push away the blocked hot copper segments.
[0018] See Figure 2 、 Figure 3 To adjust the position and tilt angle of the slide, the adjustment assembly 10 includes an adjustment screw 10.1, which is locked to the first mounting block 1 via a locking nut. The first mounting block has a slot at its front end, into which the adjustment screw is locked. A stabilizing block 10.2 is attached to the top of the vertically positioned adjustment screw 10.1. A tilted hinge block 10.3 is locked to this hinge block 10.2 via a first locking bolt. The slide 2 is mounted on top of hinge block 10.3. The lock nut, which is screwed to the adjustment screw, allows the slide to be adjusted vertically and forward and backward. The first locking bolt adjusts the hinge block and the slide's tilt angle.
[0019] A flat plate is vertically mounted at the front end of the conveyor frame 4. A toggle 11 is rotatably mounted on the left side of the flat plate. A paddle is tilted at the rear end of the toggle 11 and rests against the conveyor frame 4. A sensor 12 is mounted on the left side of the flat plate to sense the paddle. The hot copper segment being conveyed pushes the paddle, which is sensed by the sensor. The sensor then controls a manipulator or gripper outside the device to grab the hot copper segment resting against the stop block and place it on the forging machine.
[0020] Adjustment holes are vertically and symmetrically provided on the left and right sides of the flat plate, and the flat plate is locked to the conveyor frame 4 by a second locking bolt passing through the adjustment hole. The upper and lower positions of the flat plate can be adjusted by the second locking bolt, thereby adjusting the upper and lower positions of the dial and the sensor.
[0021] The adjustment hole on the right is locked with a longitudinally arranged height limiting bolt 13. The hot copper section slides from the slideway to the conveyor chain, and the height limiting bolt can prevent the stacked hot copper section from passing.
[0022] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as within the scope of protection of the present invention.
