Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0019] EMBODIMENT
[0020] As shown in the drawing, the utility model discloses a novel rotary storage rack, which comprises a bottom plate 1; Figs. 1-2
[0021] The bottom plate 1 serves as the bottom support structure of the entire storage rack and provides a stable mounting base for other components.
[0022] The bottom plate 1 serves as the bottom support structure of the entire storage rack and provides a stable mounting base for other components.
[0023] The cover 2 is made of high-strength transparent material and is provided with a material taking opening 3 on one side, and the size of the material taking opening 3 is suitable for taking out one measuring rod 7.
[0024] The high-strength transparent material facilitates the operator to observe the storage condition of the internal measuring rod 7, and the number, position and state of the measuring rod 7 can be known at any time without opening the outer cover 2, thereby facilitating inventory management and equipment maintenance.
[0025] The design of the material taking port 3 ensures that the robot or operator can accurately and conveniently take out the measuring rod 7, while limiting the taking out of only one measuring rod 7 at a time, avoiding the disorder or falling of the measuring rod 7 caused by misoperation, and ensuring the orderliness and accuracy of the material taking process.
[0026] The slewing bearing 4 is installed on the bottom plate 1 and fixedly connected with the rotating shaft 5, and is provided with teeth which can engage with the gear 8.
[0027] Under the drive of the gear 8, the rotating shaft 5 is driven to realize stable rotary motion, thereby changing the position of the measuring rod 7 so that it can be rotated to the material taking port 3 as required, providing the necessary mechanical rotation function for the robot to automatically grab the measuring rod 7, and being one of the key components to realize the automatic operation of the storage rack.
[0028] The rotating shaft 5 is fixedly connected with the slewing bearing 4 and has two rotating shaft frames 6 fixedly connected thereto.
[0029] As an intermediate component connecting the slewing bearing 4 and the rotating shaft frame 6, the slewing bearing 4 transmits the rotary motion to the rotating shaft frame 6, ensuring that the rotating shaft frame 6 can rotate synchronously and stably, and further driving the measuring rod 7 to complete position adjustment, thereby ensuring the orderly rotation and positioning of the measuring rod 7 in the storage rack.
[0030] The rotating shaft frame 6 is fixed on the rotating shaft 5 and is used to clamp the measuring rod 7, and the measuring rod 7 is circumferentially distributed around the rotating shaft frame 6, with a number of ten.
[0031] The rotating shaft frame 6 provides stable support and fixed position for the measuring rod 7, and through the circumferential distribution design, the space is fully utilized, so that a larger number of measuring rods 7 can be stored at one time, thereby improving the storage capacity of the storage rack. At the same time, the measuring rod 7 can always be kept in a predetermined position during rotation, which facilitates accurate rotation to the material taking port 3 and facilitates robot grabbing.
[0032] The measuring rod 7 is clamped on the rotating shaft frame 6 and rotates between the outer cover 2 and the rotating shaft 5.
[0033] As a key tool for molten steel level detection, the measuring rod 7 is in a standby state in the storage rack. The clamping design of the measuring rod 7 on the rotating shaft frame 6 ensures the stability during storage and rotation, preventing it from falling. The rotating design facilitates smooth rotation to the material taking port 3 when needed, facilitating quick grabbing by the robot and putting into use.
[0034] Gear 8 is rotationally fixed in the support shell 9 and engages with the teeth on the slewing bearing 4.
[0035] The power is transmitted to the slewing bearing 4 under the drive of the speed reducer 10 and the servo motor 11, and the precise rotation control of the slewing bearing 4 is realized by the gear 8 transmission, which has high transmission efficiency and stability, and can accurately rotate the slewing bearing 4 according to the preset angle and speed, thereby rotating the measuring rod 7 to the designated position, meeting the requirements of the position accuracy of the measuring rod 7 in the automatic production.
[0036] The support shell 9 is used to install the speed reducer 10 and fix the gear 8.
[0037] The gear 8 and the speed reducer 10 are provided with stable mounting support to ensure their relative position fixed during the working process and ensure the normal operation of the transmission system.
[0038] The speed reducer 10 is connected to the servo motor 11 at one end and installed on the support shell 9.
[0039] It plays a role in reducing the rotating speed of the servo motor 11 and increasing the torque, converts the high-speed rotating motion of the servo motor 11 into low-speed large-torque motion suitable for the transmission of the slewing bearing 4 and the gear 8, ensures that the rotary storage rack can rotate smoothly and slowly, accurately controls the rotating position of the measuring rod 7, and at the same time protects the entire transmission system from damage due to excessive torque impact, improves the safety and reliability of the equipment operation.
[0040] The servo motor 11 is connected with the speed reducer 10 and can be connected with a controller, and the accurate control of the rotating speed and direction can be realized through the controller.
[0041] As the power source of the entire rotary storage rack, it provides rotary power for the equipment. Under the cooperation of the controller, it can accurately control the rotating speed and direction according to the production requirements, realize the rapid and accurate rotation positioning of the measuring rod 7, meet the different work rhythm and process requirements on the automatic production line, and improve the automation degree and production efficiency of the equipment.
[0042] In work, the servo motor 11 is started, its power is transmitted to the gear 8 after the speed is reduced and the torque is increased by the speed reducer 10, the gear 8 rotates under the support of the support shell 9 and engages with the teeth on the slewing bearing 4, driving the slewing bearing 4 to rotate on the bottom plate 1, and then the rotating shaft 5 fixed on the slewing bearing 4 rotates, the two rotating shaft frames 6 are synchronously rotated, and the ten measuring rods 7 distributed circumferentially around the rotating shaft frames 6 rotate, when one of the measuring rods 7 rotates to the suitable taking-out port 3 on one side of the outer cover 2, the robot can grab the measuring rod 7 for molten steel level detection work, and the outer cover 2 is made of high-strength transparent material, which is convenient for observing the storage condition of the internal measuring rod 7 at any time.
[0043] AsFig. 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the number of measuring rods 7 distributed circumferentially around the rotating shaft frame 6 is ten; the circumferential distribution of the ten measuring rods 7 makes full use of the surrounding space of the rotating shaft frame 6, ensuring a certain storage capacity, which can meet the needs of multiple molten steel level detections.
[0044] like Fig. 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the size of the feeding port 3 is suitable for taking out one measuring rod 7. From the perspective of operational accuracy, it effectively avoids problems such as accidentally taking out multiple measuring rods 7 or deviation in feeding position that may be caused by the opening being too large during the feeding process. It ensures that the robot or operator can only accurately grab one measuring rod 7 each time, which greatly improves the accuracy and stability of feeding.
[0045] like Fig. 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the outer cover 2 is made of a high-strength transparent material to allow observation of the storage of the internal measuring rods 7; the operator can intuitively and clearly observe the number, position and status of the internal measuring rods 7 without opening the outer cover 2, which greatly improves the convenience of operation and management efficiency.
[0046] like Fig. 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the measuring rod 7 rotates between the outer cover 2 and the rotating shaft frame 6; this design enables the measuring rod 7 to maintain a stable trajectory during rotation. The outer cover 2 provides a certain degree of protection and limitation for the measuring rod 7, preventing it from deviating from its predetermined position due to external forces or other factors during rotation.
[0047] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
