Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aluminum rod feeding technology, and in particular to an automatic feeding device for an aluminum rod heating furnace. Background Technology

[0002] In the production process of aluminum profiles, aluminum rods are extruded into the required profiles under the action of a die. Before extrusion, the aluminum rods need to be heated in a controlled manner to make them easier to deform. The general heating method is to push the aluminum rods into a heating furnace for heating. However, in terms of the aluminum rod feeding method, sometimes workers need to assist in placing the aluminum rods into the feeding port of the heating furnace. This is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, increasing labor costs and resulting in low feeding efficiency, but also poses certain dangers due to the high temperature and poor environment at the feeding port of the heating furnace. Although some devices can realize automatic feeding of aluminum rods, the overall feeding operation is relatively cumbersome and needs to be optimized. Therefore, those skilled in the art provide an automatic feeding device for aluminum rod heating furnaces to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing an automatic feeding device for an aluminum rod heating furnace.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

A pressing component for fixing the aluminum rods is provided on the fixing frame. A driving component for moving the pressing component is provided on the pushing component. When the pushing component pushes the aluminum rods, the driving component drives the pressing component to move downwards to press the aluminum rods on the guide plate, preventing them from rolling off.

[0006] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the pushing assembly is a pusher head, and a hydraulic cylinder is fixedly connected to one side of the fixed frame. One end of the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder passes through the fixed frame and is fixed to the pusher head, and the pusher head is in contact with the aluminum rod body.

[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the pressing assembly is a pressing plate, and two sliding rods are movably connected through the top of the fixed frame. The pressing plate is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the sliding rods, and the pressing plate is in contact with one of the aluminum rod bodies on the guide plate.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the driving assembly includes an inclined block and a top head. A fixed seat is fixedly connected to the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder. The top head is fixedly connected to the fixed seat. The inclined block is fixedly connected to one end of the pressure plate, and the top head is in contact with the inclined block. Springs are movably connected to the outer circumference of the two slide rods, and the two ends of the springs are fixed to the slide rods and the fixed frame, respectively.

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection", and "setting" should be interpreted broadly. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in this patent can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0021] Reference Figures 1-4 An automatic feeding device for an aluminum rod heating furnace includes a heating furnace 1 and a conveying plate 7. A feed inlet 2 is provided on one side of the heating furnace 1, and one end of the conveying plate 7 corresponds to the feed inlet 2. A guide groove 8 is provided on the surface of the conveying plate 7. A guide plate 6 is bolted to one side of the conveying plate 7 and is arranged at an angle. Multiple aluminum rod bodies 3 are sequentially stacked on the surface of the guide plate 6, with the lowest aluminum rod body 3 located within the guide groove 8 on the conveying plate 7. The aluminum rod bodies 3 are hoisted onto the guide plate 6 by external hoisting equipment, ensuring that the aluminum rod bodies 3 are stacked neatly in sequence. The aluminum rod body 3 rolls down along the guide plate 6 and the bottom aluminum rod body 3 rolls down into the guide groove 8 on the conveyor plate 7. The end of the conveyor plate 7 away from the feed port 2 is fixed with a fixing frame 4 by bolts. The fixing frame 4 is provided with a pushing component to push the aluminum rod body 3 and a pressing component to fix the aluminum rod body 3. The pushing component is provided with a driving component to move the pressing component. When the pushing component pushes the aluminum rod body 3 to move, the driving component drives the pressing component to move downward to press the aluminum rod body 3 on the guide plate 6 to prevent the aluminum rod body 3 from rolling down.

[0022] In this utility model, the pushing component is a pusher head 18. A hydraulic cylinder 5 is fixed to one side of the fixed frame 4 by bolts. One end of the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 5 passes through the fixed frame 4 and is fixed to the pusher head 18. The pusher head 18 is in contact with the aluminum rod body 3. When the hydraulic cylinder 5 is activated, the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 5 extends, causing the pusher head 18 to move. The movement of the pusher head 18 pushes the aluminum rod body 3 along the guide groove 8. As the pusher head 18 pushes, the aluminum rod bodies 3 push against each other and are finally pushed into the heating furnace 1 from the feed port 2.

[0023] In this invention, the pressing assembly is a pressing plate 13. Two sliding rods 15 are slidably connected through the top of the fixed frame 4. The pressing plate 13 is fixed to the bottom end of the sliding rods 15 by bolts. The pressing plate 13 contacts one of the aluminum rod bodies 3 on the guide plate 6. The driving assembly includes an inclined block 12 and a top head 10. A fixed seat 11 is fixed to the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 5 by bolts. The top head 10 is fixed to the fixed seat 11 by bolts. The inclined block 12 is fixed to one end of the pressing plate 13 by bolts, and the top head 10 contacts the inclined block 12. Springs 14 are sleeved on the outer circumference of both sliding rods 15, and the two ends of the springs 14 are respectively fixed to the sliding rods 15 and the fixed frame 4. During the elongation process, the fixed seat 11 drives the top head 10 to move. The top head 10 moves and presses the inclined block 12, causing the inclined block 12 to drive the pressure plate 13 to move downward. The two sliding rods 15 on the pressure plate 13 move downward along the fixed frame 4. The spring 14 is stretched by force, and the pressure plate 13 moves downward to fit against the aluminum rod body 3 that is about to roll into the guide trough 8, pressing the aluminum rod body 3. At this time, the aluminum rod body 3 stops rolling. When the hydraulic cylinder 5 drives the piston rod to retract until the top head 10 moves to disengage from the inclined block 12, the spring 14 rebounds and resets, causing the sliding rod 15 to drive the pressure plate 13 to move upward and disengage from the aluminum rod body 3. Then the aluminum rod body 3 continues to roll into the guide trough 8.

[0024] In this invention, the guide plate 6 has sliding openings 19 on both sides of its surface. Sliding blocks 21 are slidably connected inside the sliding openings 19. Limiting strips 16 are fixed to the top of the sliding blocks 21 by bolts, and the limiting strips 16 are in contact with both ends of the aluminum rod body 3. The bottom of the guide plate 6 is rotatably connected to a bidirectional screw 20, which passes through the two sliding blocks 21 and is threadedly connected to them. According to the length of the aluminum rod body 3, before the aluminum rod body 3 is placed on the guide plate 6, the bidirectional screw 20 is rotated to make the two sliding blocks 21 move towards each other along the sliding openings 19, and the two limiting strips 16 move closer to the middle. When the aluminum rod body 3 is placed on the guide plate 6, both ends of the aluminum rod body 3 are in contact with the limiting strips 16, so that the limiting strips 16 limit the aluminum rod body 3 and prevent the aluminum rod body 3 from deviating during the rolling process.

[0025] In this utility model, a baffle 9 is fixed to the conveying plate 7 by bolts, and the baffle 9 is in contact with the side of the aluminum rod body 3. When the aluminum rod body 3 rolls into the guide trough 8, due to inertia, the aluminum rod body 3 impacts the baffle 9, and the baffle 9 blocks the aluminum rod body 3, ensuring that the aluminum rod body 3 can be located in the guide trough 8.

[0026] In this utility model, a rubber pad 17 is bonded to the bottom of the pressure plate 13. During the downward movement of the pressure plate 13, the rubber pad 17 comes into contact with the aluminum rod body 3, which can protect the aluminum rod body 3 and at the same time allow the pressure plate 13 to move downward without restriction.

[0027] Working principle: When feeding aluminum rod body 3, the aluminum rod body 3 is hoisted onto the guide plate 6 by external hoisting equipment, and the aluminum rod bodies 3 are stacked in sequence. The aluminum rod bodies 3 roll down along the guide plate 6, and the bottom aluminum rod body 3 rolls into the guide groove 8 on the conveying plate 7. The hydraulic cylinder 5 is activated, and the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 5 extends, causing the push head 18 to move. The push head 18 moves and pushes the aluminum rod body 3 along the guide groove 8. During the extension of the piston rod, the fixed seat 11 drives the top head 10 to move. The top head 10 moves and presses the inclined block 12, causing the inclined block 12 to drive the pressure plate 13 to move downward. The two sliding rods 15 on the pressure plate 13 move downward along the fixed frame 4, and the spring 14 is stretched by force. The pressure plate 13 moves downward, causing the pressure plate 13 to move downward. The rubber pad 17 is in contact with the aluminum rod body 3 that is about to roll into the guide trough 8, pressing the aluminum rod body 3 down. At this time, the aluminum rod body 3 stops rolling. As the pusher head 18 pushes the aluminum rod body 3 to move, after the aluminum rod body 3 moves to one end of the guide trough 8, the hydraulic cylinder 5 drives the piston rod to retract until the top head 10 moves to disengage from the inclined block 12. At this time, the spring 14 rebounds and resets, causing the slide rod 15 to drive the pressure plate 13 to move upward and disengage from the aluminum rod body 3. Then the aluminum rod body 3 rolls into the guide trough 8. Repeating the above operation can push the aluminum rod body 3 again. When a lot of aluminum rod bodies 3 are placed in the guide trough 8, as the pusher head 18 pushes, the aluminum rod bodies 3 push each other and are finally pushed into the heating furnace 1 from the feed port 2.

[0029] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
