[0017] Please see Figure 1-3 This embodiment is an online turning device for square steel ingots, including two parallel conveyor chains. The distance between the two conveyor chains is less than the length of the square steel ingot. The two conveyor chains run synchronously, and a turning mechanism is provided between the two conveyor chains. The turning mechanism includes two fixed seats 5, and a guide support rod 10 is provided between the two fixed seats 5. The guide support rod 10 is parallel to the conveying direction of the conveyor chains. A fixed block 8 and a sliding block 7 are mounted on the guide support rod 10. The sliding block 7 is connected to a linear drive mechanism. A support plate 11 is rotatably mounted on the top of the sliding block 7. An L-shaped support 6 is mounted on one side of the upper end of the support plate 11. A connecting rod 12 is rotatably mounted on the top of the fixed block 8. The top end of the connecting rod 12 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the support plate 11.
[0018] Furthermore, the linear drive mechanism includes a cylinder 9, the cylinder body of which is connected to the fixed base 5, and the piston rod of the cylinder 9 extends horizontally and its end is connected to the sliding block 7.
[0019] Furthermore, the conveyor chain includes a drive sprocket 3, a driven sprocket, and a chain 1. The chain 1 is wound between the drive sprocket 3 and the driven sprocket. A synchronous drive shaft 4 is installed between the drive sprockets 3 of the two conveyor chains. A drive motor 2 is installed at one end of the synchronous drive shaft 4. The drive motor 2 drives the two conveyor chains to rotate synchronously in the same direction through the synchronous drive shaft 4.
[0020] Furthermore, the fixing block 8 is equipped with a locking bolt, and the fixing block 8 is slidably connected to the guide support rod 10. The locking bolt is used to lock the position of the fixing block 8 on the guide support rod 10. Through the above settings, the position of the fixing block 8 can be arbitrarily adjusted on the guide support rod 10. After adjustment, the position can be locked by the locking bolt, thereby adjusting the initial state of the L-shaped support 6 to adapt to the workpiece and ensure that the flipping action can be completed.
[0021] Furthermore, the top of the sliding block 7 is provided with two support plates, the support plate 11 is located between the two support plates, and a pin is installed between the two support plates. The pin passes through the support plate 11 and is rotatably connected to the support plate 11.
[0022] Furthermore, the top of the fixing block 8 is provided with two support plates, and a pin is installed between the two support plates. The pin is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the connecting rod 12.
[0023] See Figure 3-5 The working principle of this utility model is as follows: After being processed in the previous step, the square steel ingot flows along the conveyor line to the two conveyor chains of this utility model. The length direction of the square steel ingot is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveyor chains, so that both ends of the steel ingot span across the two conveyor chains. Since the two conveyor chains move synchronously and in the same direction, the square steel ingot is transported forward while maintaining this posture. When the square steel ingot reaches the L-shaped support 6 of the flipping mechanism, as... Figure 3 As shown, the square steel ingot is intercepted by the L-shaped support 6, with the middle part of the ingot directly above the L-shaped support 6. Then, the flipping mechanism starts to operate, and the cylinder 9 drives the sliding block 7 to move to the left. The sliding block 7 then drives the bottom end of the support plate 11 to move together. Since the top end of the support plate 11 is connected to the fixed block 8 through the connecting rod 12, the support plate 11 will flip upward while moving to the left. During the movement of the support plate 11, the L-shaped support 6 moves along the same trajectory. Figure 4 As shown, the L-shaped support 6 will first lift the square steel ingot to a certain height so that it is separated from the conveyor chain, and then drive the square steel ingot to rotate and descend to... Figure 5 As shown, the square steel ingot is flipped 90 degrees and then falls back onto the conveyor chain to continue being transported backward, thus achieving the purpose of flipping the square steel ingot online.
[0024] Obviously, if it is necessary to rotate the square steel ingot 180 degrees, then connect a set of the device of this utility model in series.
