Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of heat preservation sleeves, in particular to a heat preservation sleeve for hot-rolled steel billets. Background Art

[0002] Hot-rolled steel strip is a key industrial material, widely used in a variety of fields, including construction, automotive, machinery manufacturing, and shipbuilding. It exhibits high strength, good toughness, and weldability. In the construction sector, hot-rolled steel strip is used to create steel structures such as steel frames and beams, which are widely used in large buildings, bridges, and highways. In the automotive industry, hot-rolled steel strip is used to manufacture vehicle body and engine components, providing sufficient strength and rigidity to ensure vehicle safety and stability. It is also used in machinery manufacturing to manufacture various mechanical components, such as gears, bearings, and transmissions.

[0003] During the hot-rolled strip production process, billet temperature management is a key factor in ensuring product quality and production efficiency. Due to the large spans of hot-rolling lines, heat loss during billet transportation becomes a technical challenge that needs to be addressed. To minimize heat loss and maintain billet temperature, insulation devices are typically installed at the junction of the front and rear conveyor rollers of the production line. This provides an insulated environment for the billets, minimizing heat exchange with the surrounding cold air.

[0004] Traditional insulation devices primarily consist of an insulation sleeve and a cover. The sleeve is installed inside the cover, directly contacting the steel billet. During actual production, because the bottom of the sleeve is in direct contact with the hot steel billet, the inner panel is susceptible to thermal deformation, affecting the insulation effect. Furthermore, the bottom insulation panel is typically welded to the base plate, making it difficult to replace the deformed inner panel alone. This often necessitates replacing the entire insulation sleeve, shortening the sleeve's service life and increasing production costs. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an insulation cover for hot-rolled steel billets, which improves the thermal insulation effect, facilitates the replacement of insulation boards, prolongs the service life, and reduces maintenance costs, so as to solve the technical problems that the bottom of the insulation cover directly contacts the high-temperature steel billet, causing the inner side plate to be easily deformed by heat, the insulation board is welded to the bottom plate, and is difficult to replace separately, which shortens the service life and increases the production cost.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the solutions adopted by the present invention are as follows:

[0007] A heat preservation sleeve for hot-rolled steel billets, comprising a heat preservation sleeve body, side plates, a rotating device, heat insulation plates, a support plate and support columns; there are two side plates, which are respectively rotatably connected to the bottom ends of both sides of the heat preservation sleeve body; there are several support columns, which are evenly distributed on the inner bottom side of the heat preservation sleeve; the bottom end of the support plate is connected to the support column, and the top end is connected to the heat insulation plate;

[0008] The rotating device includes a first hinge rod, a hydraulic cylinder, a rotating arm and a second hinge rod; the lower end of the hydraulic cylinder is fixedly connected to one end of the heat preservation sleeve body; one end of the first hinge rod is rotatably connected to the extending end of the hydraulic cylinder, and the other end is rotatably connected to the middle of the rotating arm. The first hinge rod moves by the telescopic movement of the hydraulic cylinder; one end of the rotating arm is rotatably connected to the lower side of one end of the heat preservation sleeve body, and the other end is rotatably connected to one end of the second hinge rod. The rotation of the first hinge rod drives the rotation of the rotating arm, thereby driving the rotation of the second hinge rod; the other end of the second hinge rod is rotatably connected to the side plate. When the second hinge rod rotates, it drives the side plate to open or close; there are two first hinge rods, rotating arms and second hinge rods, which are symmetrically installed on both sides of the hydraulic cylinder and are connected to the two side plates, so as to conveniently drive the side plates on both sides of the heat preservation sleeve body to extend or fold up at the same time; heat preservation layers are provided inside both the heat preservation sleeve body and the side plates, and the heat preservation layers can further heat-preserve the steel billets, extend the heat preservation time, and the whole is powered by an external power supply.

[0009] Furthermore, the rotating device is provided with a chute and a slider; the chute is opened on the surface of one end of the heat preservation sleeve body, above the hydraulic cylinder; the slider is fixedly installed on the extending end of the hydraulic cylinder; the first hinge rod is rotatably connected to the hydraulic cylinder through the slider; the chute and the slider match each other. The slider is slidably connected to the chute. When the hydraulic cylinder makes a telescopic movement, the telescopic displacement of the hydraulic cylinder is restricted within the range of the chute. At the same time, the first hinge rod is connected to the slider, and the first hinge rod is driven to move through the slider, thereby driving the second hinge rod at one end of the rotating arm to push the side plate to unfold.

[0010] Furthermore, there are two rotating devices, which are respectively installed at both ends of the heat preservation sleeve body and are connected to the side plates. The second hinge rods of the two rotating devices are respectively connected to both ends of the side plates. The side plates are pushed to unfold or close simultaneously through the second hinge rods, making the unfolding or closing of the side plates smoother. At the same time, it avoids the phenomenon that the device cannot be used due to the damage of the rotating device at any end of the heat preservation sleeve body.

[0011] Furthermore, the side plates are arranged in an L shape, and the two side plates match each other; the other end of the second hinge rod is rotatably connected to the corner of the side plate. By pulling the corner of the side plate through the second hinge rod, the two L-shaped side plates are closed into a "冂" shape to seal the heat preservation sleeve body and heat-preserve the steel billets.

[0012] Furthermore, the support plate is concavely arranged; the heat insulation board is detachably mounted on the support plate. The concavely arranged support plate facilitates the placement of the heat insulation board and facilitates the removal and installation of the heat insulation board on the support plate.

[0013] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0014] When in use, the hydraulic cylinder is started to retract, driving the slider to move on the slide, and the slider drives the hinge rod 1 to rotate and extend outward, pushing the swing arm to rotate outward, thereby driving the hinge rod 2 at one end of the swing arm to push the side panel to expand, and after the side panel is expanded, the insulation cover body is opened, and the steel billet is hoisted onto the insulation board inside the insulation cover body. The hydraulic cylinder extends, driving the hinge rod 1 to rotate and retract, driving the swing arm to rotate inward, thereby driving the hinge rod 2 at one end of the swing arm to pull the side panel to retract, and the side panel is closed, sealing the insulation cover body, and insulating the steel billet through the insulation layer inside the insulation cover body and the side panel. When the insulation board is damaged, the side panel can be opened and the insulation board can be taken out from the pallet for replacement.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows:

[0016] 1. The utility model drives the side panels on both sides of the insulation cover body to rotate through the hinge rod 1 of the rotating device, the hydraulic cylinder, the swing arm and the hinge rod 2, so as to facilitate the opening and closing of the insulation cover body. The steel billet is placed on the insulation plate of the support plate on the support column, and the steel billet is lifted away from the insulation cover to avoid excessive deformation of the insulation layer due to heat. The extension and retraction of the side panels are achieved through the cooperation of the hydraulic cylinder and the hinge rod, which facilitates the maintenance and replacement of the insulation plate inside the insulation cover body and extends the service life of the protective cover body.

[0017] 2. The slider of the utility model is connected to the output end of the hydraulic cylinder, and the slider is slidably connected to the slide groove, which can limit the telescopic displacement of the hydraulic cylinder within the range of the slide groove, thereby limiting the rotation angle of the swing arm and the hinge rod 2 through the hinge rod 1, limiting the opening angle of the side panel, and avoiding excessive opening that causes the internal temperature to dissipate faster and reduce the insulation effect.
