Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of standard section production equipment, specifically to a diagonal brace feeder. Background Technology

[0002] The inclined web member is an important component of plate-type or frame-type standard sections, used to connect the main spiral tube and the main plate of the standard section to enhance its stability. Because the inclined web member connects the main spiral tube and the main plate at an angle, its two ends are designed with corresponding inclined surfaces. During installation, it needs to be rotated to the corresponding angle for easy installation, which requires manual or robotic arm operation. However, different material feeding angles result in different rotation angles, requiring a relatively complex robotic arm structure, which is not only structurally complex and costly but also reduces processing efficiency. Furthermore, inclined web members and other pipe fittings require a conveyor belt for transport during the conveying process, and a corresponding isolation mechanism is needed to separate them before they can be gripped by the robotic arm. However, transferring the inclined web members from the storage bin to the conveying mechanism is also a relatively tricky problem; manual handling is too time-consuming and labor-intensive, while robotic arm gripping is too resource-intensive.

[0003] Therefore, the research objective of this utility model is to design a slanted web bar feeder with a relatively simple structure, compact equipment, and the ability to conveniently discharge and transfer bar components one by one, and to rotate disordered bar bodies into a consistent feeding configuration for subsequent clamping and installation. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the technical problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides an inclined web bar feeder, which can effectively solve the technical problems existing in the prior art.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is:

[0006] A slanted web feeder, comprising:

[0007] frame;

[0008] The storage bin is fixedly installed on the rear side of the frame, and its bottom is inclined downwards towards the front of the frame in a slope shape. The inclined downward end of the storage bin is provided with a corresponding discharge port.

[0009] The material transfer mechanism uses a telescopic cylinder to drive several push plates to move up and down, which are used to receive the inclined web rods that discharge from the storage bin one by one and transfer them to the steering mechanism one by one.

[0010] The steering mechanism is installed on the front side of the frame and located above the front of the storage bin. It rotates the inclined web bar to the right side by abutting and positioning on the right side, clamping and rotating on the left side, and pushing it to the right. This is used to rotate the inclined web bar to a consistent feeding position.

[0011] The steering mechanism includes a directional component and a rotating component that are movable relative to each other. The directional component includes a positioning member that moves left and right driven by a lateral cylinder. The side of the positioning member is provided with a columnar hole adapted to the inclined web member, and a corresponding directional block is installed at the top of the inner side of the columnar hole. The bottom of the directional block is set as an inclined surface adapted to the end inclined surface of the inclined web member. The rotating component includes a bearing seat that is driven to rotate by a motor and moved left and right by a magnetic induction cylinder. A set of clamping cylinders is connected to the end of the bearing seat through a corresponding slip ring. The magnetic induction cylinder is electrically connected to the motor. When the piston rod of the magnetic induction cylinder extends to the position, its internal magnetic induction switch is triggered and electrically connects the motor and the magnetic induction cylinder to stop the operation. The end inclined surface of the inclined web member abuts against the inclined surface of the directional block, and the inclined web member rotates to the position.

[0012] The directional block can be moved up and down on the positioning component via a corresponding lifting cylinder.

[0013] The pusher plates are inclined from the rear to the front. Several pusher plates are fixedly installed at intervals and staggered vertically at the piston rod end of the same telescopic cylinder, and are driven by the telescopic cylinder to move up and down synchronously. A receiving plate, parallel to the pusher plate, is fixedly installed on the front side of the frame. The receiving plate and the pusher plate are slidably connected by corresponding slider and groove assemblies. When the piston rod of the telescopic cylinder extends to its full position, the top surface of all pusher plates and the top surface of the adjacent front receiving plate are on the same inclined plane, and the inclined web rods on the pusher plates roll down to the front receiving plate. When the piston rod of the telescopic cylinder retracts to its full position, the top surface of the first pusher plate and the bottom surface of the discharge port of the storage bin are on the same inclined plane, and the top surfaces of the remaining pusher plates and the top surfaces of the adjacent rear receiving plates are on the same inclined plane. The inclined web rods in the storage bin roll down to the first pusher plate, and the inclined web rods on the receiving plate roll down to the front pusher plate.

[0014] A corresponding buffer connection mechanism is also provided between the material transfer mechanism and the steering mechanism. The buffer connection mechanism includes a connection plate that is inclined to connect the top surface of the last receiving plate. The bottom of the connection plate is fixedly connected to the left and right L-shaped limiting members at intervals between the rotating component and the directional component. The top of the connection plate is fixedly connected to a corresponding fixing member on one side of the L-shaped limiting member. A corresponding lifting member is installed on the rear side of the fixing member by being driven up and down by a corresponding power cylinder.

[0015] Both sides of the connecting plate are fixedly connected to corresponding guard plates, and the top inner side of the guard plate is laterally fixedly connected to a corresponding height limiting member at the rear side of the lifting member.

[0016] Advantages of this utility model:

[0017] 1) This utility model achieves the transmission and turning of inclined web rods through the optimization and improvement of the storage bin, the material transfer mechanism and the turning mechanism. The equipment structure is relatively simple and compact, effectively realizing convenient material discharge and one-by-one material transfer of the rods. It can also rotate the randomly positioned rods into a consistent feeding form, so as to facilitate subsequent clamping and installation into standard sections, thereby improving processing efficiency.

[0018] 2) This utility model achieves the sequential transmission of diagonal web members by changing the relative position of the pusher plate and the receiving plate that move up and down. A single telescopic cylinder synchronously drives staggered pusher plates, and a receiving plate is provided to improve the stability of the pusher plate movement and to receive materials. The pusher plates and the receiving plate are parallel and inclined in the same direction. When the piston rod of the telescopic cylinder retracts to its position, the top surface of the first pusher plate is on the same inclined plane as the bottom surface of the discharge port of the storage bin. The inclined web rod in the storage bin can smoothly roll onto the first pusher plate, and the top surfaces of the remaining pusher plates are on the same inclined plane as the top surfaces of the adjacent receiving plates. The inclined web rod on the receiving plate can continue to roll onto the front pusher plate. When the piston rod of the telescopic cylinder moves upward, it drives the pusher plates upward, and the inclined web rod is conveyed upward with the moving pusher plates. When the piston rod of the telescopic cylinder extends to its position, the top surfaces of all pusher plates are on the same inclined plane as the top surfaces of the adjacent front receiving plates. The inclined web rod on the pusher plates continues to roll onto the front receiving plates. Through the repeated extension and retraction of the telescopic cylinder, the inclined web rod is gradually transferred upward to the last receiving plate. It can effectively remove and transfer materials one by one from the storage bin without the need for complex structures and drive methods.

[0019] 3) After the stacked materials are transferred by the material transfer mechanism, they are temporarily buffered in a single row by the buffer connection mechanism to prevent the transferred materials from accumulating at the turning mechanism. Then, the lifting parts that move up and down push them to roll down and are supported by the L-shaped limiting parts set in the middle of the turning mechanism, which facilitates the subsequent turning action and improves the use effect of this utility model.

[0020] 4) This utility model transforms the random and unpredictable rotation angle adjustment of the inclined web rod into a simple coordination between rotation and the extension and retraction of a cylinder with a fixed stroke. By fixing the inclined web rod to its right side and pushing it to its left side, if the angle is just right when the inclined web rod falls onto the L-shaped limiting member, the left pushing stroke is the set stroke of the magnetic induction cylinder. Once pushed to the desired position, the electromagnetic switch built into the magnetic induction cylinder is triggered, stopping the left pushing action. The inclined web rod does not need to rotate, and its end is in contact with the directional block. If the angle of the inclined web rod deviates, the end of the inclined web rod abuts against the inclined surface of the directional block. The initial pushing distance on the left is smaller. After clamping the inclined web rod with the clamping cylinder, it is pushed while rotating until the total pushing distance reaches the set distance of the magnetic induction cylinder. At this point, the end of the inclined web rod is in contact with the inclined surface of the directional block, and the inclined web rod rotates to the same position. The built-in electromagnetic switch is triggered, stopping the left pushing and rotating actions. This conveniently and simply achieves the adjustment of the inclined web rod to a consistent feeding position. Attached Figure Description

[0027] To facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art, the structure of this utility model will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0028] refer to Figure 1-5 A slanted web bar feeder, comprising:

[0029] Rack 1;

[0030] The storage bin 2 is fixedly installed on the rear side of the frame 1, and its bottom is inclined downwards facing the front side of the frame 1 in a slope shape. The inclined downward end of the storage bin 2 is provided with a corresponding discharge port.

[0031] The material transfer mechanism 3, through the telescopic cylinder 301, drives several push plates 302 to move up and down, which are used to receive the inclined web rods 4 that are discharging from the storage bin 2 one by one and transfer them to the steering mechanism 5 one by one.

[0032] The steering mechanism 5 is installed on the front side of the frame 1 and located above the front of the storage bin 2. It rotates the inclined web bar 4 to the right side by abutting and positioning on the right side, clamping and rotating on the left side and pushing it to the right side, so that the inclined surface of its end abuts and fits against the directional block 501 on the right side. This is used to rotate the inclined web bar 4 to a consistent feeding position.

[0033] This utility model achieves the transmission and steering of the inclined web rod 4 through the optimization and improvement of the storage bin 2, the material transfer mechanism 3 and the steering mechanism 5. The equipment structure is relatively simple and compact, effectively realizing convenient material discharge and one-by-one material transfer of the rods. It can also rotate the randomly positioned rods into a consistent feeding form, so as to facilitate subsequent clamping and installation into standard sections, thereby improving processing efficiency.

[0034] The steering mechanism 5 includes a directional component and a rotating component that are movably disposed relative to each other. The directional component includes a positioning member 503 that is driven to move left and right by a lateral cylinder 502. The side of the positioning member 503 is provided with a columnar hole that matches the inclined web member 4, and a corresponding directional block 501 is installed on the top inner side of the columnar hole. The bottom of the directional block 501 is provided with an inclined surface that matches the end inclined surface of the inclined web member 4. The rotating component includes a component that is driven to rotate by a motor 504 and connected to a magnetic field. The induction cylinder 505 drives the left and right movement of the bearing seat 506. The end of the bearing seat 506 is connected to a set of clamping cylinders 508 through a corresponding slip ring 507. The magnetic induction cylinder 505 is electrically connected to the motor 504. When the piston rod of the magnetic induction cylinder 505 extends to the position, the magnetic induction switch inside it is triggered and electrically connected to the motor 504 and the magnetic induction cylinder 505 to stop the operation. The inclined surface of the end of the inclined web rod 4 fits and abuts against the inclined surface of the directional block 501 and the inclined web rod 4 rotates to the position.

[0035] This invention transforms the random and unpredictable rotation angle adjustment of the inclined web rod 4 into a simple interaction between rotation and the extension and retraction of a cylinder with a fixed stroke. By fixing the inclined web rod 4 to the right and pushing it to the left, if the angle of the inclined web rod 4 is just right when it falls onto the L-shaped limiting piece, the pushing and abutting stroke of the left side is the set stroke of the magnetic induction cylinder. After the push is in place, the electromagnetic switch built into the magnetic induction cylinder 505 is triggered, stopping the pushing action on the left side. The inclined web rod 4 does not need to rotate, and its end is in contact with the orientation block 501. If the angle of the inclined web rod 4 is deviated, the end of the inclined web rod 4 abuts against the upper side of the inclined surface of the orientation block 501. The initial pushing distance on the left side is smaller. After clamping the inclined web rod 4 by the clamping cylinder 508, it is pushed while rotating until the total pushing stroke reaches the set distance of the magnetic induction cylinder 505. At this point, the end of the inclined web rod 4 is in contact with the inclined surface of the orientation block 501, and the rotation position of the inclined web rod 4 is consistent. The built-in electromagnetic switch is triggered, stopping the pushing and rotating action on the left side. This makes it convenient and simple to turn the inclined web rod 4 to a consistent feeding position.

[0036] The directional block 501 can be moved up and down on the positioning component 503 via a corresponding lifting cylinder 509.

[0037] The pusher plates 302 are inclined from the rear to the front. Several pusher plates 302 are fixedly installed at intervals and staggered vertically at the piston rod end of the same telescopic cylinder 301, and are driven by the telescopic cylinder 301 to move synchronously up and down. On the frame 1, receiving plates 303 are fixedly installed parallel to the pusher plates 302 on the front side of each pusher plate 302. The receiving plates 303 and pusher plates 302 are slidably connected via corresponding slider and groove assemblies. When the piston rod of the telescopic cylinder 301 extends to its full position, all pusher plates 302... The top surface of the first pusher plate 302 and the top surface of the adjacent front receiving plate 303 are on the same inclined plane. The inclined web rod 4 on the pusher plate 302 rolls down onto the front receiving plate 303. When the piston rod of the telescopic cylinder 301 retracts into place, the top surface of the first pusher plate 302 and the bottom surface of the discharge port of the storage bin 2 are on the same inclined plane, and the top surfaces of the remaining pusher plates 302 and the top surfaces of the adjacent rear receiving plates 303 are on the same inclined plane. The inclined web rod 4 in the storage bin 2 rolls down onto the first pusher plate 302, and the inclined web rod 4 on the receiving plate 303 rolls down onto the front pusher plate 302.

[0038] This invention achieves the sequential transmission of the inclined web rod 4 by changing the relative positions of the vertically moving pusher plate 302 and the receiving plate 303. The same telescopic cylinder 301 synchronously drives the vertically staggered pusher plates 302. A receiving plate 303 is provided to improve the stability of the pusher plate 302's movement and to receive the material. The pusher plate 302 and the receiving plate 303 are parallel and inclined in the same direction. When the piston rod of the telescopic cylinder 301 retracts to its position, the top surface of the first pusher plate 302 is on the same inclined plane as the bottom surface of the discharge port of the storage bin 2. The inclined web rod 4 in the storage bin 2 can smoothly roll onto the first pusher plate 302, and the top surfaces of the remaining pusher plates 302 are on the same inclined plane as the top surfaces of the adjacent rear receiving plates 303. The inclined web rod 4 on the receiving plate 303 can continue to roll down to the front pusher plate 302; when the piston rod of the telescopic cylinder 301 moves upward, it drives the pusher plate 302 upward, and the inclined web rod 4 is conveyed upward with the moving pusher plate 302; when the piston rod of the telescopic cylinder 301 extends to its full position, the top surface of all the pusher plates 302 and the top surface of the adjacent front receiving plate 303 are on the same inclined plane, and the inclined web rod 4 on the pusher plate 302 continues to roll down to the front receiving plate 303; through the repeated extension and retraction of the telescopic cylinder 301, the inclined web rod 4 is gradually transferred upward to the last receiving plate 303. This effectively achieves the extraction and transfer of materials from the storage bin without the need for complex structures and drive methods.

[0039] A corresponding buffer connection mechanism 6 is also provided between the material transfer mechanism 3 and the steering mechanism 5. The buffer connection mechanism 6 includes a connection plate 601 that is inclinedly connected to the top surface of the last receiving plate 303. The bottom of the connection plate 601 is fixedly connected to the left and right L-shaped limiting members 602 at intervals between the rotating component and the directional component. The top of the connection plate 601 is fixedly connected to a corresponding fixing member 603 on one side of the L-shaped limiting member 602. A corresponding lifting member 605 is installed on the rear side of the fixing member 603 by being driven up and down by a corresponding power cylinder 604.

[0040] Both sides of the connecting plate 601 are fixedly connected to corresponding guard plates 606, and the top inner side of the guard plate 606 is laterally fixedly connected to a corresponding height limiting member 607 at the rear side of the lifting member 605.

[0041] After being transferred by the material transfer mechanism 3, the stacked materials are temporarily buffered in a single row by the buffer connection mechanism 6 to prevent the transferred materials from accumulating at the turning mechanism 5. Then, the lifting member 605, which moves up and down, pushes the materials to roll down and supports them on the L-shaped limiting member 602 set in the middle of the turning mechanism 5, which facilitates the subsequent turning action and improves the use effect of this utility model.

[0042] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
