Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material management equipment, and in particular to a batch management device for heat treatment materials. Background Technology

[0002] Heat treatment material batch management equipment is a specialized device used for classifying, storing, managing, and precisely scheduling materials that have undergone or are about to undergo heat treatment. It is mainly used in heat treatment workshops or related production processes. Through a series of mechanical structures and control systems, it ensures that materials can be rationally stored, retrieved, and transported according to different batches, specifications, process requirements, and other factors, thereby improving the efficiency and quality of heat treatment production.

[0003] In heat treatment material management scenarios, most existing batch management equipment is basically limited to storing materials and maintaining surface order. From the perspective of the first-in, first-out principle, the equipment is not equipped with precise timing and control mechanisms, and is completely unaware of the material's entry time. It cannot automatically prioritize the exit of materials that entered earlier, resulting in material backlog, expired storage, and a significant reduction in warehouse utilization. In batch management, the equipment only achieves rough zoning, relying entirely on manual visual identification and recording. When faced with a large amount of materials, information is easily confused, and retrieval is often chaotic, seriously slowing down the material flow speed, increasing the probability of material misuse, and hindering the efficient advancement of production.

[0004] Therefore, in the management of heat treatment materials, most current batch management equipment functions primarily for storing materials and implementing first-in-first-out (FIFO) systems. They lack precise timing and control, failing to achieve FIFO, leading to material backlog and expiration, low warehouse utilization, and reliance on manual identification and recording during batch management. This results in information confusion and slow flow when the material volume is large, hindering efficient production and failing to keep pace with industry development. To address these issues, a new batch management device for heat treatment materials can be designed. This device uses multiple sets of mounting columns and partitions, along with push rods and cylinders, to achieve precise material separation. A barcode scanner accurately records the time of material entry, and the control console queues the materials accordingly, strictly arranging their outbound shipments in sequence. This solves the problem of unordered shipments and prevents material backlog and expiration. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the problems in heat treatment material management, most current batch management equipment functions are basically limited to storing materials and implementing first-in-first-out (FIFO) systems. They lack precise timing and control, and cannot achieve FIFO, leading to material backlog and expiration, low warehouse utilization, and reliance on manual identification and recording during batch management. When the material volume is large, information is easily confused, the flow is slow, and it hinders efficient production and fails to keep pace with industrial development.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a batch management device for heat treatment materials, including a chassis, a storage component and a lifting component; multiple sets of storage components are installed from top to bottom on the top of the chassis, and lifting components for feeding materials that need to be managed in batches into the storage components are installed at both ends of the storage components. The storage components include support platforms, which are arranged symmetrically in two sets. A transmission belt is installed between the two sets of support platforms. Multiple sets of mounting columns are linearly installed on the top of one set of support platforms. A partition is slidably installed at the center of the mounting column. A push rod located outside the mounting column is installed at one end of the partition, and a cylinder is installed at the end of the push rod away from the mounting column.

[0007] Preferably, when heat-treated materials require batch management, the materials are placed in a set of lifting components. The lifting components lift the materials to the side of the corresponding storage component. The conveyor belt of the storage component carries the materials into the interior. The innermost partition is pushed out by a push rod under the action of a cylinder. When the materials enter the innermost part of the storage component, they are blocked by the partition and the transmission stops. According to the width of the materials, the partition closest to the rear end of the materials extends, and the materials are stored in the storage component. When the materials are needed, the front partition of the materials retracts, the conveyor belt runs, and the materials are sent to another set of lifting components. The lifting components send the materials back to ground level.

[0008] Preferably, a square groove for installing the partition is opened through the center of the mounting column, and multiple sets of rotating shafts are linearly installed inside the transmission belt. Two sets of rotating shafts are equipped with a transmission motor located outside the support platform at one end. Buffer pads are installed on both sides of the partition, and square grooves for installing the buffer pads are opened on both sides of the partition.

[0009] As a preferred option, a front baffle is installed on the top of another support platform. A sign slot for placing signs is opened on the outside of the front baffle near the corner. Multiple sets of support columns are linearly installed at the bottom of the front baffle, and support plates are installed on the top of the support columns and the mounting columns.

[0010] Preferably, an auxiliary plate is installed at one end of each of the two sets of support platforms, and the top of the auxiliary plate has an inclined surface with a ceramic coating.

[0011] Preferably, the lifting assembly includes two sets of lifting rods arranged symmetrically. Each lifting rod has a fixing plate installed at its bottom end, and each fixing plate has two sets of threaded fixing holes through its top end. Each lifting rod has a lifting groove on its inner side, and three sets of transmission screws are linearly installed in each lifting groove. Each lifting rod has a screw motor installed at its top end, and a transfer case located inside the lifting rod is installed between the output end of the screw motor and the three sets of transmission screws.

[0012] Preferably, each transmission screw is fitted with a slider, and a lifting plate is installed between the sliders on the inner sides of the two sets of symmetrical lifting rods. A shock-absorbing pad is installed on the top of the lifting plate, and a square groove for installing the shock-absorbing pad is opened on the top of the lifting plate.

[0013] Preferably, a mounting plate is installed on the top of the symmetrically arranged lifting rods in a set of lifting components. A barcode scanner is installed through the top of the mounting plate. A power supply is installed on the top of the mounting plate next to the barcode scanner. A positioning camera is installed at the front of the mounting plate near the set of lifting rods. A control console is installed on the outside of the set of lifting rods.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: In the material storage assembly, multiple sets of mounting columns are linearly installed on the top of a set of support platforms, and a square groove is provided at the center of the mounting column for sliding installation of partitions. Combined with a push rod and cylinder at one end, precise separation of materials is achieved. Compared with existing equipment that simply stores materials, this system can flexibly adjust the partitions and positions according to the actual size of the materials and batch requirements, customizing independent storage space for each batch of materials, avoiding mixing, significantly improving the precision of material storage and space utilization, ensuring that materials remain orderly throughout the storage process, and laying a solid foundation for subsequent first-in-first-out management and rapid retrieval. This is further enhanced by the use of barcode scanning. The system accurately records the time when materials enter the warehouse, and the control console uses this time to queue the materials and strictly arrange the outbound shipment in sequence. This solves the problem of existing equipment lacking time control and unable to ship in sequence, preventing material backlog and expiration, ensuring that materials are processed within the optimal time frame, guaranteeing stable product quality, improving warehouse turnover efficiency, and reducing costs and losses. When the materials are outbound, the control console efficiently links the transmission belt and lifting components. Driven by the motor, the transmission belt quickly delivers the earliest-entered materials to the designated lifting position. The lifting rod, with the cooperation of the screw motor and the transfer case, accurately lowers the materials. The entire process is automated, significantly reducing time and improving efficiency compared to manual operation. It ensures accurate execution of first-in-first-out (FIFO) and supports continuous and efficient production, laying a solid foundation for intelligent production in enterprises.

[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0021] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides an embodiment: a batch management device for heat treatment materials, including a chassis 3, a storage assembly, and a lifting assembly; multiple sets of storage assemblies are installed from top to bottom on the top of the chassis 3, and lifting assemblies are installed at both ends of the storage assemblies for feeding materials that need to be managed in batches into the storage assemblies. The storage assembly includes a support platform 101, which is arranged symmetrically in two sets. A transmission belt 113 is installed between the two sets of support platforms 101. Multiple sets of mounting columns 104 are linearly installed on the top of one set of support platforms 101. A partition 108 is slidably installed at the center of the mounting column 104. A push rod 109 located outside the mounting column 104 is installed at one end of the partition 108. The push rod 109 is away from the mounting column 104. A cylinder 110 is installed at one end of column 104. When heat-treated materials need to be managed in batches, the materials are placed in a set of lifting components. The lifting components lift the materials to the side of the corresponding storage component. The conveyor belt of the storage component brings the materials into the interior. The innermost partition 108 is pushed out by push rod 109 under the action of cylinder 110. When the materials enter the innermost part of the storage component, they are blocked by partition 108 and the transmission stops. According to the width of the materials, the partition 108 closest to the rear end of the materials extends, and the materials are stored in the storage component. When the materials are needed, the front partition 108 of the materials retracts, the conveyor belt 113 runs, and the materials are sent to another set of lifting components. The lifting components send the materials back to ground height.

[0022] Please see Figures 1-4In this embodiment, a square groove for mounting the partition 108 is provided through the center of the mounting column 104. Multiple sets of rotating shafts 112 are linearly installed inside the transmission belt 113. Two sets of rotating shafts 112 have a drive motor 111 located outside the support platform 101 installed at one end. Buffer pads are installed on both sides of the partition 108, and square grooves are provided on both sides of the partition 108 for mounting the buffer pads. The buffer pads on both sides of the partition 108 absorb impact energy and buffer collision force at the moment of material contact, protecting the material surface from scratches and damage, maintaining the integrity and quality of the material. Especially for surface-sensitive or high-precision heat-treated materials, the square groove installation method of the buffer pads is stable, easy to replace and maintain, extends the service life of the partition 108, and reduces... Low equipment wear and maintenance costs, enhanced long-term operational stability of the equipment, and ensure a mild and safe storage environment during frequent material handling. A front baffle 105 is installed on the top of another support platform 101. A label slot 106 for placing labels is opened on the outside of the front baffle 105 near the corner. Multiple sets of support columns 102 are linearly installed at the bottom of the front baffle 105. Support plates 103 are installed on the top of the support columns 102 and the mounting columns 104. The support columns 102 and the mounting columns 104 jointly bear the heavy responsibility of supporting the structure above. The support plates 103 at the top of the two provide a solid flat platform for material storage and operation, enhance the overall structural stability and load-bearing capacity, and evenly distribute the weight of the materials and the additional force of equipment operation.

[0023] Please see Figures 1-4In this embodiment, auxiliary plates 107 are installed at one end of the two sets of support platforms 101. The top of the auxiliary plate 107 has a slope, and the surface of the slope is coated with a ceramic coating. In the heat treatment environment, there may be complex media such as high temperature, oxidizing gas, and coolant mist. The ceramic coating, with its excellent chemical stability, can effectively resist the corrosion of these media on the auxiliary plate 107, prevent the equipment from rusting and deteriorating, maintain the structural and functional integrity of the auxiliary plate 107, and ensure the stability and reliability of material discharge. The lifting assembly includes lifting rods 201, which are arranged symmetrically in two sets. The bottom of each lifting rod 201 is equipped with a fixing plate 206. The top of each fixing plate 206 has two sets of threaded fixing holes 207. The inner side of each lifting rod 201 is provided with a lifting slide groove, and three sets of transmission screws are linearly installed in each lifting slide groove. 202. Each lifting rod 201 is equipped with a lead screw motor 203 at its top. The output end of the lead screw motor 203 and the three sets of transmission lead screws 202 are each connected by a transfer case located inside the lifting rod 201. The two sets of symmetrically arranged lifting rods 201, together with the fixing plate 206 at the bottom, form a stable vertical lifting structure foundation. This structure can effectively bear the weight of the material and maintain balance during the lifting process, preventing tilting and shaking. The two sets of threaded fixing holes 207 on the fixing plate 206 provide a variety of installation options and a secure connection method. The fixing method with the ground or base can be flexibly adjusted according to site conditions and equipment layout, ensuring that the lifting components stand firmly under different working conditions. This provides a solid guarantee for precise material lifting operations, adapts to complex and ever-changing heat treatment material handling environments, reduces equipment installation and commissioning time and costs, and improves equipment deployment efficiency and adaptability.

[0024] Please see Figures 1-3In this embodiment, each transmission screw 202 is fitted with a slider 212. A lifting plate 204 is installed between the sliders 212 on the inner sides of the two sets of symmetrical lifting rods 201. A shock-absorbing pad 205 is installed on the top of the lifting plate 204. A square groove for installing the shock-absorbing pad 205 is opened on the top of the lifting plate 204. During the lifting process, especially during start-up, stop, and when encountering slight shaking or impact, the shock-absorbing pad 205 can absorb and buffer vibrations and impacts from all directions. Installed in the square groove, this installation method not only ensures the stability of the shock-absorbing pad 205, making it less prone to displacement, but also better fits the bottom of the material, providing a uniform shock absorption effect. A mounting plate 213 is installed on the top of the symmetrically arranged lifting rods 201 in a set of lifting components. A barcode scanner 209 is installed through the top of the mounting plate 213. An electric motor is installed on the top of the mounting plate 213 on one side of the barcode scanner 209. A positioning camera 210 is installed at the front end of the mounting plate 213 near a set of lifting rods 201. A control console 211 is installed on the outside of the set of lifting rods 201. A barcode scanner 209 is installed on the top of the mounting plate 213, which is located at a key position in the material transportation path. It can accurately scan the barcode attached to the material the moment it is placed on the lifting component, quickly obtain key information such as material batch, model, and processing parameters, and realize digital management of materials. The positioning camera 210 captures visual images of the material at the front end of the mounting plate 213. After image analysis algorithm processing, it accurately determines the position and posture of the material on the lifting component, such as offset and tilt angle. The data is fed back to the control console 211. The control console 211 adjusts the lifting component and the transmission screw 202 in real time to correct the material position deviation, ensure that the material is accurately aligned with the receiving position, prevent collisions and jamming, and improve the safety and accuracy of material transportation.

[0025] During operation, the operator places the heat-treated materials to be managed in batches on the lifting plate 204 of a set of lifting components. At this time, the barcode scanner 209 located at the top of the mounting plate 213 automatically scans the barcode on the material, quickly obtaining key information such as the batch and specifications of the material, and transmits it to the control console 211 for recording and storage. Simultaneously, the positioning camera 210 captures images of the material's position on the lifting plate 204, analyzes whether the material is centered and whether it is tilted, and feeds the relevant data back to the control console 211. The control console 211 then controls the screw motor 203 to work, driving the transmission screw 202 to rotate through the transfer case, which in turn moves the slider 212 within the lifting groove, thereby raising or fine-tuning the position of the lifting plate 204 to ensure the material is properly positioned. With the material correctly positioned and awaiting further transport, under the unified control of the control console 211, the lead screw motor 203 starts, driving the transmission lead screw 202 to raise the slider 212, thus smoothly lifting the lifting plate 204 and transporting the material to the corresponding storage component height. During this process, the shock-absorbing pad 205 plays a role in buffering the vibrations caused by the lifting motion and protecting the material from damage. When the lifting plate 204 reaches the designated height and is on the same plane as the transmission belt 113 of the storage component, it stops rising. The transmission belt 113 at one end of the storage component starts to rotate under the drive of the transmission motor 111, slowly bringing the material into the storage component. At the same time, a set of cylinders 110 on the support platform 101 starts, pushing the push rod 109 to... The partition 108 slides along the square groove at the center of the mounting column 104. The innermost partition 108 extends first. When the material touches this partition 108, it stops moving forward, and the conveyor belt 113 temporarily stops running. Then, according to the material width information, the corresponding cylinder 110 drives other partitions 108 to extend, confining the material within the specific area separated by the partitions 108, thus completing the storage of the material in the storage component. During this process, the buffer pads on both sides of the partition 108 effectively reduce the impact force generated when the material collides with the partition 108, preventing damage to the material surface. At the same time, the inclined surface at the top of the auxiliary plate 107 utilizes the low-friction characteristics of its ceramic coating to guide the material more smoothly into the conveyor belt 113, ensuring that the entire introduction process is stable and efficient. When it is necessary to retrieve a certain material... When materials are processed in batches, after receiving the corresponding instruction, the control console 211 controls the partition 108 at the front of the material in the corresponding storage component to retract under the drive of the cylinder 110, thus removing the obstruction to the material. At the same time, the transmission belt 113 starts again under the drive of the transmission motor 111, moving the material towards the lifting component at the other end. After the material is conveyed to the corresponding position of the lifting component at the other end, the transmission belt 113 stops running, and the lifting component at this end starts working. The lead screw motor 203 drives the transmission lead screw 202 to lower the slider 212, which in turn drives the lifting plate 204 to descend smoothly. The shock-absorbing pad 205 further buffers the vibration, ensuring that the material is safely lowered to the ground height, facilitating subsequent heat treatment processing or transfer operations. This completes the material outbound process.

[0026] Through the above steps, when heat-treated materials require batch management, the materials are placed in a set of lifting components. The lifting components lift the materials to the side of the corresponding storage component. The conveyor belt of the storage component carries the materials into the interior. The innermost partition 108 is pushed out by the push rod 109 under the action of the cylinder 110. When the materials enter the innermost part of the storage component, they are blocked by the partition 108 and the transmission stops. According to the width of the materials, the partition 108 closest to the rear end of the materials extends, and the materials are stored in the storage component. When the materials are needed, the front partition 108 of the materials retracts, the conveyor belt 113 runs, and the materials are sent to another set of lifting components. The lifting components send the materials back to ground height.
