Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of forging technology, specifically to a heating device for forging billets. Background Technology

[0002] Forging is a processing method that uses forging machinery to apply pressure to a metal billet, causing it to undergo plastic deformation to obtain forgings with specific mechanical properties, shapes, and dimensions. It is one of the two major components of forging and pressing (forging and stamping). Forging can eliminate defects such as casting porosity generated during the smelting process, optimize the microstructure, and, because it preserves the complete metal flow lines, the mechanical properties of forgings are generally superior to those of castings made of the same material. Important parts in related machinery that bear high loads and operate under harsh conditions are mostly forgings, except for simpler shapes that can be made from rolled plates, profiles, or welded parts.

[0003] Forging typically involves placing a heated forging billet into the cavity of a die, and then hammering the billet using forging equipment. After entering the die cavity, the forging billet needs to be heated to a specified temperature range. Forging billets are generally cylindrical, and heating is usually carried out in a furnace. Because heating in the furnace is continuous, the forging billet needs to be fed into the furnace at a specific frequency.

[0004] Currently, the method for feeding forging billets into the heating furnace is to use an automatic feeding device. This automatic feeding device includes a tilting mechanism, a feeding mechanism, a conveying mechanism, a pushing mechanism, a receiving component, and a feeding component. The tilting mechanism is connected to one end of the feeding mechanism, the conveying mechanism is connected to the other end of the feeding mechanism, the conveying mechanism is connected to the pushing mechanism, the pushing mechanism is connected to the receiving component, and the receiving component is connected to the feeding component and the heating furnace. During operation, the forging billet is placed in the tilting mechanism. After the tilting mechanism flips, it pours the forging billet into the feeding mechanism. The feeding mechanism conveys the forging billet to the conveying mechanism. The forging billet moves under the action of the conveying mechanism. When the forging billet reaches the position corresponding to the pushing mechanism, the pushing mechanism applies a pushing force to bring the forging billet into the receiving component. Then, the feeding component pushes the forging billet in the receiving component into the heating furnace.

[0005] For the above structure, since the material turning mechanism and the material feeding mechanism are arranged in the same direction, and the conveying mechanism and the heating furnace are arranged in the same direction, for example, in the factory building, the material turning mechanism and the material feeding mechanism are arranged along the longitudinal direction of the factory building, and the conveying mechanism and the heating furnace are arranged along the transverse direction of the factory building, and the heating furnace is arranged along the length of the conveying mechanism, this method results in the disadvantage of a large footprint. Utility Model Content

[0006] This invention provides a heating device for forging billets, which can reduce the floor space required.

[0007] The technical solutions to the above technical problems are as follows:

[0008] A forging billet heating device includes a turning mechanism, a feeding mechanism, a conveying mechanism, a pushing mechanism, a receiving component, a feeding component, and a heating furnace. The turning mechanism is connected to the input end of the feeding mechanism, the conveying mechanism is connected to the output end of the feeding mechanism, the conveying mechanism is connected to the pushing mechanism, the pushing mechanism is connected to the receiving component, and the receiving component is connected to the input end of the feeding component and the heating furnace. The arrangement direction of the turning mechanism is perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the feeding mechanism, the arrangement direction of the heating furnace is parallel to the arrangement direction of the conveying mechanism, and the conveying mechanism is located between the feeding mechanism and the heating furnace.

[0009] Furthermore, it also includes an incoming material detection switch and a first material blocking mechanism. The incoming material detection switch is installed on the conveying mechanism, and the first material blocking mechanism cooperates with the conveying mechanism and is located upstream of the incoming material detection switch.

[0010] Furthermore, the first material blocking mechanism includes a first support, a first rotating shaft, a first baffle, and a first driver that drives the first rotating shaft to rotate. The first rotating shaft is movably disposed on the first support, one end of the baffle is fixed to the first rotating shaft, the other end of the first baffle cooperates with the conveying mechanism, and the output end of the first driver is connected to the first rotating shaft.

[0011] Furthermore, it also includes a pressing mechanism, which is located upstream of the blocking mechanism. A first support is provided on one side of the conveying mechanism, and a baffle is provided on the other side of the conveying mechanism. The pressing mechanism is installed on the first support.

[0012] Furthermore, it also includes a quick-lifting mechanism, a second baffle mechanism, a temperature sensor, a side-push component, and a receiving component. The quick-lifting mechanism cooperates with the output end of the heating furnace, the second baffle mechanism cooperates with the quick-lifting mechanism, the temperature sensor is installed on the quick-lifting mechanism or the second baffle mechanism, the side-push component cooperates with the quick-lifting mechanism, the side-push component is located upstream of the second baffle mechanism, and the receiving component corresponds to the side-push component and is distributed on both sides of the quick-lifting mechanism.

[0013] In this invention, the arrangement direction of the turning mechanism is perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the feeding mechanism. This positional relationship allows the conveying mechanism, the turning mechanism, and the heating furnace to be arranged in parallel. The arrangement direction of the feeding mechanism is perpendicular to both the turning mechanism and the heating furnace. By placing the turning mechanism within the matrix space occupied by the feeding and conveying mechanisms, the longitudinal space occupied by the turning mechanism is reduced. Furthermore, the arrangement direction of the heating furnace is parallel to the arrangement direction of the conveying mechanism, and the conveying mechanism is located between the feeding mechanism and the heating furnace. This arrangement allows the conveying mechanism and the heating furnace to be arranged side-by-side, reducing the lateral space occupied by the heating furnace. Therefore, this invention significantly reduces the floor space required. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0019] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the forging billet heating equipment of this utility model includes a turning mechanism 1, a feeding mechanism 2, a conveying mechanism 3, a pushing mechanism 4, a receiving component 5, a feeding component 6, and a heating furnace 7. The turning mechanism 1 is connected to the input end of the feeding mechanism 2, the conveying mechanism 3 is connected to the output end of the feeding mechanism 2, the conveying mechanism 3 is connected to the pushing mechanism 4, the pushing mechanism 4 is connected to the receiving component 5, and the receiving component 5 is connected to the input ends of the feeding component 6 and the heating furnace 7 respectively. The arrangement direction of the turning mechanism 1 is perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the feeding mechanism 2, the arrangement direction of the heating furnace 7 is parallel to the arrangement direction of the conveying mechanism 3, and the conveying mechanism 3 is located between the feeding mechanism 2 and the heating furnace 7. In this embodiment, the turning mechanism 1 adopts the turning mechanism disclosed in CN106429489A, the feeding mechanism 2 adopts the feeding mechanism disclosed in CN106429489A, the conveying mechanism 3 adopts the chain plate conveyor, the pushing mechanism 4 adopts the cylinder, the receiving component 5 is composed of a slide and a first receiving container component with a V-groove, the feeding component 6 adopts the cylinder, and the heating furnace 7 adopts the medium frequency furnace.

[0020] In this invention, the arrangement direction of the turning mechanism 1 is perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the feeding mechanism 2. This positional relationship allows the conveying mechanism 3 to be arranged parallel to the turning mechanism 1 and the heating furnace 7. The arrangement direction of the feeding mechanism 2 is perpendicular to both the turning mechanism 1 and the heating furnace 7. By placing the turning mechanism 1 within the matrix space occupied by the feeding mechanism 2 and the conveying mechanism 3, the longitudinal space originally occupied by the turning mechanism 1 is reduced. Furthermore, the arrangement direction of the heating furnace 7 is parallel to the arrangement direction of the conveying mechanism 3, and the conveying mechanism 3 is located between the feeding mechanism 2 and the heating furnace 7. This arrangement allows the conveying mechanism 3 and the heating furnace 7 to be arranged side-by-side, reducing the lateral space originally occupied by the heating furnace 7. Therefore, this invention significantly reduces the floor space required.

[0021] This utility model also includes an incoming material detection switch 8 and a first material blocking mechanism 9. The incoming material detection switch 8 adopts the high-temperature bar material detection device disclosed in CN210952909U. The incoming material detection switch 8 is installed on the conveying mechanism 3. The first material blocking mechanism 9 cooperates with the conveying mechanism 3 and is located upstream of the incoming material detection switch 8. The forging blank A moves toward the incoming material detection switch 8 under the conveying mechanism 3. When the forging blank A comes into contact with the incoming material detection switch 8, the incoming material detection switch 8 is turned on. The signal of the incoming material detection switch 8 being turned on is sent to the PLC control circuit (not shown in the figure). The PLC control circuit controls the first blocking mechanism 9 to work. The first blocking mechanism 9 blocks the forging blank A that is subsequently conveyed by the conveying mechanism 3, so as to avoid the subsequent forging blank A from squeezing the forging blank A that is currently cooperating with the incoming material detection switch 8. After the pushing mechanism 4 pushes away the forging blank A that is cooperating with the incoming material detection switch 8, the first blocking mechanism 9 can release the next forging blank A to move toward the incoming material detection switch 8.

[0022] In this invention, the first material-stopping mechanism 9 includes a first support 9a, a first rotating shaft 9b, a first baffle 9c, and a first driver 9d that drives the first rotating shaft 9b to rotate. The first rotating shaft 9b is movably mounted on the first support 9a. One end of the first baffle 9c is fixed to the first rotating shaft 9b, and the other end of the first baffle 9c cooperates with the conveying mechanism 3. The output end of the first driver 9d is connected to the first rotating shaft 9b. A connecting component 9e protruding along the circumference of the first rotating shaft 9b is provided on the circumference of the first rotating shaft 9b. The first driver 9d is connected to the first connecting component 9e. The first driver 9d can be a pneumatic cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder.

[0023] It also includes a pressing mechanism 10, which is located upstream of the blocking mechanism 9. A first support 11 is provided on one side of the conveying mechanism 3, and a baffle 12 is provided on the other side. The pressing mechanism 10 is mounted on the first support 11. When there are many forging blanks A on the conveying mechanism 3, the pressing mechanism 10 operates, pressing one of the forging blanks A on the conveying mechanism 3 between the pressing mechanism 10 and the baffle 12 to prevent the forging blank A from continuing to move towards the incoming material detection switch 8. Simultaneously, the feeding mechanism 2 stops operating, cutting off the supply of forging blanks A from the feeding mechanism 2 to the conveying mechanism 3.

[0024] This utility model also includes a quick-lifting mechanism 12a, a second baffle mechanism 13, a temperature sensor 14, a side-pushing component 15, and a receiving component 16. The quick-lifting mechanism 12a cooperates with the output end of the heating furnace 7, and the second baffle mechanism 13 cooperates with the quick-lifting mechanism 12a. The temperature sensor 14 is installed on either the quick-lifting mechanism 12a or the second baffle mechanism 13. The side-pushing component 15 cooperates with the quick-lifting mechanism 12a and is located upstream of the second baffle mechanism 13. The receiving component 16 corresponds to the side-pushing component 15 and is distributed on both sides of the quick-lifting mechanism 12a. The quick-lifting mechanism 12a adopts a chain plate transmission mechanism. The structure of the second baffle mechanism 13 is the same as that of the first baffle mechanism 9. The side-pushing component 15 adopts a cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder. The receiving component 16 consists of a slide and a second receiving component with a V-groove. This utility model also includes a sorting mechanism 17 and a pusher cylinder 18. The sorting mechanism 17 preferably adopts the automatic screening device disclosed in CN112809317B. The receiving component 16 cooperates with the sorting mechanism 17 and the pusher cylinder 18 respectively. The sorting mechanism 17 screens the qualified and unqualified forging blanks A and guides the qualified forging blanks A into the forging equipment.

[0025] The working process of this utility model is as follows: Forging blank A is placed in the turning mechanism 1. After the turning mechanism 1 turns over, the forging blank A is poured into the feeding mechanism 2. The feeding mechanism 2 conveys the forging blank A to the conveying mechanism 3. The forging blank A moves under the action of the conveying mechanism 3. When the forging blank A reaches the position corresponding to the pushing mechanism 4, it interacts with the incoming material detection switch 8. The pushing mechanism 4 then applies a pushing force to the forging blank A, which is coordinated with the incoming material detection switch 8, causing the forging blank A to slide into the receiving component 5. Then, the feeding component 6 pushes the forging blank A from the receiving component 5 into the receiving part. Inside the heating furnace 7, the forging billet A is heated and then output from the heating furnace 7. The forging billet A reaches the quick-lift mechanism 12a, which transports the forging billet A to the position of the second baffle mechanism 13. After the forging billet A is blocked by the second baffle mechanism 13, the temperature sensor 14 detects the temperature of the forging billet A. After the detection is completed, the side push component 15 applies a pushing force to the forging billet A that cooperates with the second baffle mechanism 13, causing the forging billet A to slide into the receiving component 16. The pusher cylinder 18 pushes the forging billet A in the receiving component 16 toward the sorting mechanism 17.
