Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to an automatic loading and unloading mechanism for an electric induction heating heading furnace, and is particularly concerned with improving the automation of the production line, saving labor, shortening the heating time, limiting the heat-sensitive area of ​​the steel pipe, reducing the floor space occupied by the heating furnace, and an operating mode that can improve production efficiency and reduce production costs. Background Art

[0002] Steel pipe heading is an important process before cold drawing of steel pipes. It has always been done by manual loading and unloading. The steel pipe head is heated by a gas furnace before entering the press for heading. As the price of labor and gas continues to rise, the operating cost of the factory has increased. Moreover, the use of a gas heating furnace to heat the steel pipe head radiates a large amount of heat, which inevitably expands the length of the sensitized zone of the steel pipe and seriously affects the quality of the steel pipe product. This involves the problem of operating cost and product quality in the steel pipe heading process.

[0003] Currently, manual loading and unloading operations are adopted, and a gas furnace is used to heat the steel pipe head, resulting in low product quality and high labor costs, which seriously affects product quality and qualification rate. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an automatic loading and unloading mechanism for an electric induction heating heading furnace, which can improve production efficiency, reduce operating costs, optimize process conditions and improve economic benefits.

[0005] The technical solution of the utility model is as follows: it includes a feeding device, an electric induction heating transmission device, an electric induction heating furnace, a press and a feeding device.

The collection frame is set at the rear of the head roller and is connected through the discharge flip mechanism.

[0006] Further, the upper feeding turnover plate mechanism is composed of an upper feeding turnover plate, an upper feeding turnover plate support, an upper feeding turnover plate shaft and an upper feeding turnover plate cylinder, etc. The upper feeding turnover plate support is fixedly installed on the ground in front of the electric induction heating transmission device. The upper feeding turnover plate has a circular arc-shaped hook at one end, is fixedly installed on the upper feeding turnover shaft through a bearing seat and is installed on the upper feeding turnover plate support, the bottom of the circular arc-shaped hook is provided with a pin shaft hole and is connected with the upper feeding turnover plate cylinder telescopic rod end fixedly installed on the alignment roller support through a pin shaft.

[0007] Further, the electric induction heating transmission device is composed of a transmission support, a V-shaped chain mechanism and a V-shaped chain transmission motor, etc. The V-shaped chain mechanism is composed of a sprocket and a V-shaped chain installed on the transmission support. The V-shaped chain transmission motor drives the sprocket driving shaft to rotate through a gear pair to drive the V-shaped chain to rotate forward. The electric induction heating furnace is installed at the workpiece alignment end of the V-shaped chain mechanism.

[0008] Further, the head striking turnover plate mechanism is composed of a head striking turnover plate, a rotating shaft, a head striking turnover plate crank and a head striking turnover plate cylinder, etc. The rotating shaft is arranged along the length direction of the head striking turnover plate. The shaft is fixedly installed on the head roller support through bearing seats at both ends. The shaft extends out of the bearing seat at one end. The head striking turnover plate crank is installed at the end of the shaft. The other end of the head striking turnover plate crank is connected with a through shaft arranged below the side of the head roller. The through shaft has a head striking turnover plate cylinder at the end.

[0009] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: by adopting electric induction heating of steel pipe heads and inclined platform for material distribution, the steel pipes are pushed from the inclined platform to the alignment roller by the loading push rod, the aligned steel pipes are sent to the V-chain groove by the loading flap mechanism, and the steel pipes are slowly fed into the furnace one by one under the support of the chain. After the steel pipes are heated, the heated steel pipes are sent to the heading roller by the heading flap mechanism, and the pipe heads are automatically headed and pressed by the press. After the steel pipes are headed, they are moved to the collection frame by the unloading flap mechanism. Each steel pipe is put into the furnace after alignment, and the heating length of the steel pipe head is accurately controlled, which saves the heating time of the pipe head. It not only provides a good heating method for steel pipe heading, improves the labor operation form, but also greatly improves productivity. Compared with the manual loading and unloading method of the traditional gas-fired heading furnace, it has the advantages of reasonable and compact structure, high degree of automation, reduced labor intensity, low accident rate, saved operating cost, improved product quality, etc., and can be widely used in the steel pipe head pressing process.
