[0042] like Figures 1 to 7 The bidirectional steel transfer machine shown includes: a crossbeam 1, two slide rail mechanisms 2, and a push rod mechanism 3. The crossbeam 1 spans across the steel transfer channel. The two slide rail mechanisms 2 are located at both ends of the crossbeam 1 and are perpendicular to the crossbeam 1, used to support and drive the crossbeam 1 to move. The push rod mechanism 3 is set on the crossbeam 1 and includes several push rod connecting rod assemblies 31 and a swing drive assembly 32 for connecting the several push rod connecting rod assemblies 31. The several push rod connecting rod assemblies 31 form a first pushing surface 3A and a second pushing surface 3B on the two sides of the crossbeam 1. The first pushing surface 3A is used to push the steel billet 02 to the cooling bed position, and the second pushing surface 3B is used to push the steel billet 02 to the hoisting position.

[0043] Among them, a limiting plate 4 is provided below the slide rail mechanism 2 which is far away from the cutting machine 01, and a proximity switch 5 is provided at the end of the limiting plate 4 facing the cutting machine 01.

[0044] When billet 02 moves to the position of limit plate 4, proximity switch 5 on the front beam of billet 02 collecting platform detects billet 02 and triggers push rod mechanism 3 to automatically push billet 02 to the hoisting position. The limit plate 4 and proximity switch 5 prevent the crossbeam 1 from moving too far, and automatically trigger push rod mechanism 3 after a certain number of billets 02 have been collected. This automates the movement of crossbeam 1 and push rod mechanism 3, reducing human error and improving production efficiency and safety. Furthermore, the design of the first pushing surface 3A and the second pushing surface 3B allows the steel transfer machine to simultaneously meet the needs of the cooling bed station and the hoisting station, improving the equipment's flexibility.

[0045] In this invention, the slide rail mechanism 2 includes a column 21, a sliding trolley 22 mounted on the column 21, and a transverse drive assembly 23 for driving the sliding trolley 22. The sliding trolley 22 is mounted on the column 21 via a guide rail 24, providing good stability and guidance, ensuring the smoothness and accuracy of the sliding trolley 22 during movement. The transverse drive assembly 23 includes a drive motor 231, a transmission shaft 232, and drive gears 233 mounted at both ends of the transmission shaft 232. The drive motor 231 is positioned in the middle of the transmission shaft 232, and both ends of the transmission shaft 232 are mounted within the corresponding sliding trolleys 22 and rotated via bearings. A rack 234 meshes with the drive gear 233 on the column 21. The meshing design of the rack 234 and the drive gear 233 allows the slide rail mechanism 2 to adapt to different load and speed requirements, exhibiting good adaptability.

[0046] As a preferred embodiment of the above scheme, the guide rail 24 includes a guide rail 241 and at least two sets of sliding wheels 242 disposed on the sliding trolley 22. The two sets of sliding wheels 242 are disposed at both ends of the sliding trolley 22 along the sliding direction. Each set of sliding wheels 242 includes two rollers, which are symmetrically disposed on both sides of the guide rail 241. The end of the crossbeam 1 is provided with an auxiliary beam inclined downward, and a limiting roller 243 is provided at the end of the auxiliary beam along the horizontal direction. The limiting roller 243 abuts against the bottom of the column 21, which can provide better balance and stability, reduce the possibility of off-center loading and tilting, and thus ensure the smooth operation of the sliding trolley 22 on the guide rail 241.

[0047] In another preferred structure, the crossbeam 1 includes a horizontal mounting part 11 and inclined connecting parts 12 disposed at both ends of the horizontal mounting part 11. The inclined connecting parts 12 are connected to the inner side of the sliding trolley 22. The design of the horizontal mounting part 11 and the inclined connecting parts 12 can make the crossbeam 1 more compact in spatial layout, optimize space utilization, and reduce the floor area, which is especially suitable for space-constrained occasions. In addition, the connection end of the inclined connecting parts 12 and the sliding trolley 22 is higher than the crossbeam 1, which can reduce the center of gravity of the entire structure and improve the stability of the structure, especially when subjected to large loads or external forces.

[0048] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the push rod connecting rod assembly 31 includes two abutment plates 311 arranged in a vertical direction and a drive plate 312 disposed between the two abutment plates 311; the two ends of the drive plate 312 are respectively hinged to the two abutment plates 311. During the rotation of the drive plate 312, the end heights of the two abutment plates 311 can be adjusted to ensure the reliability of pushing the billet 02.

[0049] Based on the above scheme, the swing drive assembly 32 includes a drive cylinder 321, a drive shaft 322 arranged along the length of the crossbeam 1, and a support frame 323 supporting the drive shaft 322; a connecting block 324 connected to the drive cylinder 321 is provided at the middle position of the drive shaft 322, and the drive end of the drive cylinder 321 is hinged to the connecting block 324.

[0050] The drive cylinder 321 extends or retracts under hydraulic or pneumatic pressure, pushing the connecting block 324 to rotate. Simultaneously, the drive shaft 322 rotates synchronously, further rotating the drive plate 312 fixed to the drive shaft 322, thereby adjusting the height of the two abutment plates 311. By configuring the swing drive assembly 32, the relative height between the two abutment plates 311 can be precisely controlled to accommodate steel billets 02 or other loads of different heights, achieving precise positioning and operation. This mechanism is commonly used on automated production lines to adjust the height of push rods to accommodate workpieces of different heights.

[0051] As a preferred embodiment, the support frame 323 includes a plurality of support beams arranged along the length of the crossbeam 1; and a bearing seat is provided above the support beams, with the drive shaft 322 rotatably disposed within the bearing seat. By providing a bearing seat above the support beams and rotatably disposing the drive shaft 322 within the bearing seat, the stability, ease of maintenance, transmission efficiency, and service life of the entire mechanical system are improved.

[0052] To ensure the stability of the drive plate 312 under dynamic conditions, the middle position of the drive plate 312 is set on the drive shaft 322 to reduce the imbalance caused by eccentric mass. In addition, the drive plate 312 and the support beam are staggered to ensure that the drive plate 312 will not have physical contact or interference with the support beam during rotation, thereby avoiding the limitation of rotation angle caused by the obstruction of the support beam.

[0053] In a preferred embodiment, the drive plate 312 includes a first connecting plate 3121 and a second connecting plate 3122. Both the first connecting plate 3121 and the second connecting plate 3122 are provided with connecting flanges at their connecting ends to the drive shaft 322. Mounting holes for the drive shaft 322 are provided on the opposite sides of the connecting flanges. This modular design facilitates disassembly and installation, and allows for independent replacement of each part of the drive plate 312 should a fault occur, reducing maintenance costs and complexity.

[0054] In this utility model, a heat-insulating and shock-absorbing pad 6 is provided between the limiting plate 4 and the slide rail mechanism 2. It can absorb the energy generated by mechanical movement or external impact, reduce the impact on the structure, thereby protecting the integrity of the mechanical equipment and structure. In addition, the heat-insulating and shock-absorbing pad 6 can also block heat energy from being transferred from the limiting plate 4 to the slide rail mechanism 2, avoid the decline or damage of sliding performance caused by overheating, and maintain the sliding stability of the sliding trolley 22.

[0055] Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
