Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steel processing technology, and in particular to an automated steel stacking mechanism for rolling mills. Background Technology
[0002] The feeding mechanism of a steel rolling mill is a crucial link in the steel production process. As industry transitions from traditional mechanization to automation and intelligentization, companies are increasingly demanding high-efficiency, energy-saving, safe, stable, and flexible production capabilities. Automation not only improves production efficiency but also reduces labor costs and reliance on operator skills. Traditional feeding mechanisms, however, have significant limitations in speed and flexibility, making them unsuitable for the demands of modern steel production.
[0003] After the existing rolling mill finishes processing the steel, it is usually bundled and stacked manually for subsequent processing or transportation and storage. However, manual operation makes it difficult to stack the steel neatly. The uneven stacking of steel affects subsequent steps such as cooling, segmentation, shearing and transfer, which affects the accuracy of processing and production efficiency, reduces the stability of the production process and brings certain safety hazards. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the problem in existing technologies where manual stacking of steel after unloading from the rolling mill affects processing accuracy, production efficiency, and reduces the stability of the production process, this utility model provides an automated steel stacking mechanism for rolling mills.
[0005] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is:
[0006] An automated steel stacking mechanism for a rolling mill includes a feeding conveying mechanism and a layered stacking mechanism. The feeding conveying mechanism and the layered stacking mechanism are connected by a docking component, which is an insert-type disassembly and assembly structure.
[0007] The material feeding and conveying mechanism includes a conveying platform and a height adjustment component. The height adjustment component is connected to the bottom of the conveying platform. Multiple conveying rollers are arranged on the conveying platform. Lifting cylinders are respectively arranged on both sides of the conveying rollers. A stacking height control console is connected between the lifting cylinders.
[0008] The layered stacking mechanism includes a multi-layered stacking platform along the vertical direction, and stacking positioning baffles are provided on the stacking platform.
[0009] Furthermore, the docking assembly includes a first docking member connected to one side of the conveying platform and a second docking member connected to one side of the stacking platform, the first docking member and the second docking member being used for insertion and mating.
[0010] Furthermore, the material feeding and conveying mechanism is connected to guide lifting frames on both sides, the guide lifting frames are provided with guide grooves, and the side of the conveying platform is connected to guide blocks that cooperate with the guide grooves.
[0011] Furthermore, a stabilizing mechanism is connected to the guide lifting frame. The stabilizing mechanism includes a hinge connected to the guide lifting frame, and a side support sleeve is connected to the hinge. The side support sleeve has a U-shaped cross-section and is used to rotate in the horizontal plane and clamp the conveying platform.
[0012] Furthermore, the stabilizing mechanism is provided in multiple sets, and the height of each stabilizing mechanism on the guide lifting frame corresponds one-to-one with the height of each stacking platform of the layered stacking mechanism. The stabilizing mechanisms are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the conveying platform.
[0013] Furthermore, the stacking platform includes a first stacking plate and a second stacking plate. The first stacking plate has a telescopic groove for installing the second stacking plate. The second stacking plate is partially disposed in the telescopic groove and can slide along the telescopic groove.
[0014] Furthermore, the first stacking plate is connected to a first side support, the second stacking plate is connected to a second side support, and the bottom ends of both the first side support and the second side support are connected to movable rollers.
[0015] Furthermore, the bottom of the feeding conveyor is provided with a working platform, the working platform is provided with a slide rail, the bottom of the feeding conveyor is connected with a slider that cooperates with the slide rail, and the working platform on the side of the feeding conveyor away from the layer stacking mechanism is provided with an installation positioning block, the installation positioning block is hinged to the working platform.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0017] This invention utilizes a feeding conveyor mechanism and a layered stacking mechanism to transport and stack steel processed by a steel rolling mill. The feeding conveyor mechanism and the layered stacking mechanism are connected by a docking component, allowing for quick insertion, installation, and removal, ensuring relative stability during the conveying and stacking process. A height adjustment component allows for adjustment of the conveying platform height to accommodate different steel rolling mill discharge heights, preventing excessive height differences between the discharge position and the conveying platform, which could lead to steel falling and reduce safety hazards, thus improving versatility. During feeding and stacking, a stacking height control console connected to the lifting cylinders can be adjusted... Driven by the lowering cylinder, the height gradually increases over time, allowing continuously fed steel to be continuously stacked on top of the already stacked steel after being conveyed to the stacking platform of the layered stacking mechanism. The stacking positioning baffle limits the stacking, ensuring neatness and consistency. After stacking is completed, the layered stacking mechanism is separated from the feeding conveyor mechanism, and the stacked steel is transferred for subsequent processing. This mechanism significantly reduces the operational difficulty of feeding and stacking steel in the rolling mill, facilitates subsequent processing of the steel, greatly saves time, and results in more neat and uniform stacking. It also prevents the steel from falling during transfer and facilitates transportation and subsequent processing. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0025] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

It addresses the problems of difficult manual operation and uneven stacking of steel after rolling mill processing, which affect processing accuracy, production efficiency, and reduce production stability. Please refer to [the relevant documentation / reference]. Figure 1 This utility model includes a material feeding and conveying mechanism and a layered stacking mechanism. The material feeding and conveying mechanism are connected by a docking component 1, which is an insert-type disassembly and assembly structure. The material feeding and conveying mechanism includes a conveying platform 2 and a height adjustment component 3. The height adjustment component 3 is connected to the bottom of the conveying platform 2. Multiple conveying rollers 4 are arranged on the conveying platform 2.

The layered stacking mechanism includes a multi-layer stacking platform 6 along the vertical direction. Stacking positioning baffles 8 are arranged on the stacking platform 6.
[0028] This utility model uses a feeding conveyor mechanism and a layered stacking mechanism to convey and stack steel processed by a steel rolling mill. The feeding conveyor mechanism and the layered stacking mechanism are connected by a docking component 1, allowing for quick insertion, installation, and removal, ensuring relative stability during the conveying and stacking process. The height adjustment component 3 can adjust the height of the conveying platform 2 to adapt to different steel rolling mill discharge heights, preventing excessive height differences between the discharge position and the conveying platform 2, which could lead to steel falling, reducing safety hazards and improving versatility. When feeding and stacking, the stacking height control console 10 connected between the lifting cylinders 15 can... Driven by the lifting cylinder 15, the height gradually increases with the stacking time, allowing the continuously fed steel to be continuously stacked on top of the already stacked steel after being conveyed to the stacking platform 6 of the layered stacking mechanism. The stacking positioning baffle 8 limits the stacking and keeps it neat and consistent. After the stacking is completed, the layered stacking mechanism is separated from the feeding conveyor mechanism, and the stacked steel is transferred for subsequent processing. This mechanism significantly reduces the difficulty of the rolling mill feeding and stacking operation, facilitates the subsequent processing of steel, greatly saves time, makes the stacking more neat and uniform, prevents falling during transfer, and facilitates transportation and subsequent processing.

The first docking member 5 and the second docking member 7 are used for insertion and mating. Before the device operates, simply docking the first docking member 5 and the second docking member 7 is sufficient to maintain the relative stability of the two mechanisms during operation. The first docking member 5 and the second docking member 7 can be connected by a certain interference fit or by using components such as pins, facilitating docking and disassembly.
[0031] Example 3

Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, to ensure more stable lifting and lowering of the material conveying mechanism and prevent tilting, guide lifting frames 9 are connected to both sides of the material conveying mechanism. Guide lifting frames 9 have guide grooves 11 inside, and guide blocks 12 that cooperate with the guide grooves 11 are connected to the sides of the conveying platform 2. During lifting and lowering, the guide blocks 12 move in the guide grooves 11 to guide the lifting and lowering of the conveying platform 2, making the lifting direction more stable.
[0033] In a preferred embodiment, a stabilizing mechanism is connected to the guide lifting frame 9. The stabilizing mechanism includes a hinge 13 connected to the guide lifting frame 9, and a side support sleeve 14 connected to the hinge 13.

[0037] In a preferred embodiment, the first stacking plate 16 is connected to a first side support, and the second stacking plate 17 is connected to a second side support. Both the first and second side supports are equipped with movable rollers 18 at their bottom ends.
