Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of cast iron parts transfer equipment, specifically an automated transfer device for the production of ductile iron parts. Background Technology
[0002] Ductile iron is a cast iron material that has undergone spheroidizing treatment, in which carbon precipitates in the form of spheroidal graphite. Ductile iron possesses excellent mechanical and casting properties, making it an important engineering material. There are many types of ductile iron fittings, among which ductile iron pipes are one category. As ductile iron fittings, ductile iron pipes are commonly used in water supply, drainage, or gas transmission pipelines.
[0003] During the production and reprocessing of cast iron pipes, it is usually necessary to handle the cast iron pipes. For pipes that are large in size and heavy in weight, hoisting is generally used for transportation. However, the transportation range of overhead cranes is limited by the installation location, resulting in low flexibility in the transportation process.
[0004] In existing transfer equipment, cast iron pipes are often transferred using transfer trolleys. However, due to the considerable height of the caster wheels and support frames, cast iron pipes on the ground need to be moved to the transfer equipment by crane or workers, increasing additional manpower and material resources and making it inconvenient to use. Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided an automated transfer device for the production of ductile iron parts to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content
[0005] (a) Technical problems to be solved
[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an automated transfer device for the production of ductile iron parts. This device solves the problem that existing transfer equipment often uses transfer trolleys to transfer cast iron pipes. However, due to the height of the cast iron pipes and support frames, the cast iron pipes on the ground need to be moved to the transfer equipment by crane or workers, which increases the additional manpower and material resources and is inconvenient to use.
[0007] (II) Technical Solution
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automated transfer device for the production of ductile iron parts, comprising a first L-shaped seat and a second L-shaped seat. A first inclined block is installed on one side of the bottom of the first L-shaped seat, and a second inclined block is installed on the side of the bottom of the second L-shaped seat facing the first inclined block. A first hydraulic rod is installed on the top of the first L-shaped seat, and a limit rod is fixedly installed on the side of the second L-shaped seat facing the first L-shaped seat. A mounting groove is formed on the bottom side of the first L-shaped seat and the second L-shaped seat, and a second hydraulic rod is arranged in the mounting groove. A caster wheel is installed at the bottom output end of the second hydraulic rod.
[0009] Preferably, the first hydraulic rod is fixedly installed with the first L-shaped seat, and the output end of the first hydraulic rod is fixedly connected with the second L-shaped seat.
[0010] Preferably, the limiting rod is slidably inserted into the first L-shaped seat to increase the stability of the first L-shaped seat and the second L-shaped seat during relative contraction.
[0011] Preferably, an insert plate is installed on the inner side wall of the first inclined block, and slots are provided on the outer side walls of both sides of the second inclined block. The insert plate is slidably inserted into the slot. After the insert plate is inserted into the slot, the support stability when the first inclined block and the second inclined block intersect can be enhanced.
[0012] Preferably, a push rod is installed at the end of the limiting rod away from the second L-shaped seat.
[0013] Preferably, the end of the second hydraulic rod away from the universal wheel is fixedly installed to the inner wall of the mounting groove. By pushing the push rod, when the universal wheel pushes out of the mounting groove, the first L-shaped seat and the second L-shaped seat supporting the ductile iron pipe can be moved.
[0014] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0015] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides an automated transfer device for the production of ductile iron parts, which has the following advantages:
[0016] By design, the device is moved and the first hydraulic rod extends. When the ductile iron pipe is positioned between the first L-shaped seat and the second L-shaped seat, the second hydraulic rod drives the universal wheel to retract into the mounting groove. At this time, the bottoms of the first and second L-shaped seats are in contact with the ground. The retraction of the first hydraulic rod drives the first and second L-shaped seats to retract relative to each other. Subsequently, the first and second inclined blocks are interlocked, thereby lifting the ductile iron pipe off the ground. Then, the second hydraulic rod drives the universal wheel to push out of the mounting groove, allowing the first and second L-shaped seats supporting the ductile iron pipe to be transferred and moved. This transfer device can automatically lift the ductile iron pipe on the ground through the first and second L-shaped seats without additional manpower or resources, making it convenient to use.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] This utility model provides a technical solution: an automated transfer device for the production of ductile iron parts. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 The device includes a first L-shaped seat 1 and a second L-shaped seat 4. A first inclined block 2 is installed on one side of the bottom of the first L-shaped seat 1, and a second inclined block 5 is installed on the side of the bottom of the second L-shaped seat 4 facing the first inclined block 2. A first hydraulic rod 7 is installed on the top of the first L-shaped seat 1, and a limit rod 8 is fixedly installed on the side of the second L-shaped seat 4 facing the first L-shaped seat 1. A mounting groove 101 is opened on the bottom side of the first L-shaped seat 1 and the second L-shaped seat 4. A second hydraulic rod 10 is installed in the mounting groove 101, and a universal wheel 11 is installed at the bottom output end of the second hydraulic rod 10. This transfer device can automatically lift ductile iron pipes on the ground through the first L-shaped seat 1 and the second L-shaped seat 4.
[0024] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4The first hydraulic rod 7 is fixedly installed with the first L-shaped seat 1, and the output end of the first hydraulic rod 7 is fixedly connected with the second L-shaped seat 4. The limiting rod 8 is slidably inserted with the first L-shaped seat 1 to increase the stability of the first L-shaped seat 1 and the second L-shaped seat 4 when they retract relative to each other. An insert plate 3 is installed on the inner side wall of the first inclined block 2, and slots 6 are opened on the outer side walls of the two sides of the second inclined block 5. The insert plate 3 is slidably inserted with the slot 6. After the insert plate 3 is inserted with the slot 6, the support stability of the first inclined block 2 and the second inclined block 5 when they intersect can be enhanced. A push rod 9 is installed at the end of the limiting rod 8 away from the second L-shaped seat 4. The end of the second hydraulic rod 10 away from the universal wheel 11 is fixedly installed with the inner wall of the mounting groove 101. By pushing the push rod 9, when the universal wheel 11 pushes out of the mounting groove 101, the first L-shaped seat 1 and the second L-shaped seat 4 supporting the ductile iron pipe can be moved.
[0025] The automated transfer device for the production of ductile iron parts in this utility model consists of a first L-shaped seat 1 and a second L-shaped seat 4. A first inclined block 2 is installed on one side of the bottom end of the first L-shaped seat 1, and a second inclined block 5 is installed on the side of the second L-shaped seat 4 facing the first inclined block 2. The first inclined block 2 can be inserted into the second inclined block 5. An insert plate 3 is installed on the inner side wall of the first inclined block 2, and slots 6 are opened on the outer side walls of the two sides of the second inclined block 5 respectively.
[0026] A first hydraulic rod 7 is installed at the top of the first L-shaped seat 1. The output end of the first hydraulic rod 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the second L-shaped seat 4. A limit rod 8 is installed on the side of the second L-shaped seat 4 facing the first L-shaped seat 1. The limit rod 8 is slidably sleeved with the first L-shaped seat 1.
[0027] A mounting groove 101 is provided on the bottom side of both the first L-shaped seat 1 and the second L-shaped seat 4. A caster wheel 11 is provided in the mounting groove 101, and a second hydraulic rod 10 is installed on the upper part of the caster wheel 11. The end of the second hydraulic rod 10 away from the output end is fixedly installed to the top side wall of the mounting groove 101 away from the ground.
[0028] Furthermore, both the first hydraulic rod 7 and the second hydraulic rod 10 in this device are controlled by an automated control system for extension and retraction. When it is necessary to transport the ductile iron pipe placed on the ground, the second hydraulic rod 10 extends and pushes the caster wheel 11 out of the mounting groove 101. At this time, the push rod 9 on the limit rod 8 can push the first L-shaped seat 1 and the second L-shaped seat 4 to both sides of the ductile iron pipe. In the initial state, the first hydraulic rod 7 is extended, and the first L-shaped seat 1 and the second L-shaped seat 4 are not connected. When the ductile iron pipe is between the first L-shaped seat 1 and the second L-shaped seat 4, the second hydraulic rod 10 drives the caster wheel 11 to retract into the mounting groove 101. At this time, the first L-shaped seat 1 and the second L-shaped seat 4 are connected. The bottom of the second L-shaped seat 4 contacts the ground. Then, the first hydraulic rod 7 retracts, causing the first L-shaped seat 1 and the second L-shaped seat 4 to retract relative to each other. When the first L-shaped seat 1 and the second L-shaped seat 4 retract, the first inclined block 2 and the second inclined block 5 interlock, thereby lifting the ductile iron pipe off the ground. During the interlocking process of the first inclined block 2 and the second inclined block 5, the insert plate 3 and the slot 6 are inserted, thereby enhancing the support stability when the first inclined block 2 and the second inclined block 5 interlock. Then, the second hydraulic rod 10 drives the caster wheel 11 to push out of the mounting slot 101, thereby allowing the first L-shaped seat 1 and the second L-shaped seat 4 supporting the ductile iron pipe to move.
[0029] This transfer equipment can automatically lift ductile iron pipes on the ground through the first L-shaped seat 1 and the second L-shaped seat 4, without the need for additional manpower and resources, and is easy to use.
