Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metal processing technology, and in particular to an automatic cutting and feeding device for sodium metal rods. Background Technology
[0002] In chemical production processes, sodium metal rod cutting and feeding devices are directly installed on the main body of the reaction equipment. This integrated installation method is common in some continuous chemical production processes, such as in some ammonia synthesis production units. The various reaction stages are closely connected, and materials are directly transported to the next process through pipelines, reducing various problems that may occur during intermediate transfer processes.
[0003] While existing automated cutting equipment improves production efficiency to some extent, it often suffers from problems such as insufficient driving force and inaccurate motion control, resulting in poor practicality and affecting the safety of chemical reactions. Therefore, this utility model discloses an automatic cutting and feeding device for sodium metal rods to solve the problems of insufficient driving force and inaccurate motion control in existing sodium metal rod cutting equipment.

[0021] This utility model provides, for example Figures 1 to 2 An automatic cutting and feeding device for sodium metal rods is shown, comprising: a hydraulic station 11, with two third pipes 10 installed at the upper end of the hydraulic station 11. Each third pipe 10 has an external interface 9 installed at its other end, and a hydraulic cylinder 8 is installed at the other end of the external interface 9. A PLC is installed on the hydraulic station 11. A push column 13 is installed at one end of the hydraulic cylinder 8, and an L-shaped tube 6 is installed at the end of the hydraulic cylinder 8 near the push column 13. A mounting plate 14 is installed on the L-shaped tube 6 corresponding to the end of the push column 13, and a circular hole with the same diameter as the push column 13 is opened on the mounting plate 14 at the position corresponding to the push column 13. The push column 13 is slidably inserted into the circular hole. The hydraulic drive provides a large driving force, ensuring that large or hard metal rods can be easily handled during the cutting process, improving cutting efficiency and quality. By adjusting the oil supply pressure and flow rate of the hydraulic station 11, the movement speed and force of the cutter 12 can be flexibly controlled to achieve precise cutting and meet the cutting needs of sodium metal rods of different sizes and shapes. The automated cutting and feeding device reduces manual operation, lowers safety risks, and improves production efficiency, achieving automation and intelligence in the cutting of sodium rods. This invention features a compact structure, tightly connected components, easy installation and maintenance, and reduced operating costs.
[0022] Furthermore, in this example, such as Figure 2As shown, a cutter 12 is installed at the other end of the push column 13. The diameter of the cutter 12 is the same as the inner diameter of the L-shaped tube 6. A second pipe 7 is installed at the upper end of the L-shaped tube 6, and the second pipe 7 is connected to the L-shaped tube 6. A second flange 4 is installed at the bottom of the other end of the L-shaped tube 6. An upper tapered tube 5 is installed at the lower end of the second flange 4, and the upper tapered tube 5 is inverted. A pneumatic valve 3 is installed at the lower end of the upper tapered tube 5, and a lower tapered tube 2 is installed at the lower end of the pneumatic valve 3. The lower tapered tube 2 is in the opposite direction to the upper tapered tube 5, and a first flange 1 is installed at the lower end of the lower tapered tube 2. After the device is started, the hydraulic station 11 starts to work, providing stable hydraulic power to the entire system. The hydraulic station 11 delivers hydraulic oil to the hydraulic cylinder 8 through two third pipes 10. The PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) precisely controls the oil supply pressure and flow rate of the hydraulic station 11 according to the preset program, thereby adjusting the extension and retraction speed and force of the hydraulic cylinder 8. After receiving hydraulic power, the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 8, i.e., the push column 13, begins to reciprocate. The push column 13, through a circular hole on the mounting plate 14, forms a stable connection with the L-shaped tube 6, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the cutter 12 during the cutting process. The cutter 12 is mounted at the other end of the push column 13, and with the reciprocating motion of the push column 13, the cutter 12 cuts the sodium metal rod. Because the diameter of the cutter 12 matches the inner diameter of the L-shaped tube 6, the stability and cutting accuracy of the cutter 12 during the cutting process are ensured.
