Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aluminum coil processing technology, and in particular to a semi-automatic aluminum coil material checking station. Background Technology

[0002] During the production of aluminum coils using a rolling mill, operators need to regularly inspect the quality, dimensions, and surface condition of the rolled aluminum coils. Given the large volume of the rolled aluminum coils, the current process involves using an overhead crane to lift them to a material handling platform after rolling. Operators then inspect the various parameters and surface quality of the aluminum coils according to technical standards.

[0003] However, the existing inspection table cannot rotate the aluminum coil around its own axis, forcing operators to repeatedly flip the coil during inspection. This flipping process becomes even more strenuous when dealing with large-diameter aluminum coils, significantly reducing inspection efficiency and increasing the workload of operators.

The output end of the linear drive unit is connected to the moving unit. The moving unit has rollers on the side near the mandrel sleeve, and the rollers form the rotating part. The rotary drive unit is mounted on the moving unit and connected to the rollers. The diameter of the rollers is smaller than the diameter of the mandrel sleeve. The expansion block and the expansion drive unit are mounted on the rollers, and the expansion drive unit is connected to the expansion block.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the expansion drive unit is an expansion cylinder, which is mounted on a roller and has its output end set vertically. The expansion blocks are semi-circular, with one end of each of the two expansion blocks hinged to the roller and the other end of each expansion block connected to the output end of the expansion cylinder.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the device further includes an elastic element, the two ends of which are respectively connected to the other ends of the two expansion blocks.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the linear drive unit is a drive cylinder, which is mounted on the drive platform.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model after adopting the above solution are as follows: This utility model places the aluminum coil on the storage seat in a rotatable manner through its own mandrel sleeve, and uses the rotating part of the drive component set at the matching position with the mandrel sleeve to drive the aluminum coil to rotate around the axis of the mandrel sleeve. This allows the operator to control the rotation of the aluminum coil through the drive component when inspecting the surface quality of the aluminum coil, thereby improving the inspection efficiency of the aluminum coil, eliminating the need for manual turning of the aluminum coil, and effectively reducing the labor intensity of the operator.

[0030] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0031] This embodiment provides a semi-automatic aluminum coil checking station, such as... Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the device includes a storage base 1 and a drive assembly 3 disposed on the storage base 1. The aluminum coil 2 is rotatably placed on the storage base 1 through its own mandrel sleeve 20. The position of the drive assembly 3 matches the position of the mandrel sleeve 20. The drive assembly 3 is provided with a rotating part, which abuts against the mandrel sleeve 20 and is used to drive the aluminum coil 2 to rotate around the axis of the mandrel sleeve 20.

[0032] In this embodiment, the aluminum coil 2 can rotate around the axis of its own mandrel sleeve 20 via the drive component 3. Operators do not need to repeatedly move or flip the aluminum coil 2, thus improving inspection efficiency and reducing operator workload. Of course, operators can configure the drive component 3 to adjust the rotation speed of the aluminum coil 2. In other embodiments, the storage seat 1 can be configured to accommodate aluminum coils 2 of various diameters.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, the storage seat 1 includes a drive platform 10 and an operating platform 11, which are arranged opposite to each other. The drive assembly 3 is arranged on the drive platform 10. The drive platform 10 and the operating platform 11 are respectively provided with a plurality of driven wheels 13 on opposite sides. The two ends of the mandrel sleeve 20 are respectively placed on the driven wheels 13 of the drive platform 10 and the operating platform 11.

[0034] In this embodiment, the mandrel sleeve 20 is placed at both ends on the driven wheels 13 of the drive platform 10 and the operating platform 11, respectively, forming a double-point support structure, which can improve the stability of the aluminum coil 2. The drive assembly 3 only needs to act on the mandrel sleeve 20 on one side of the drive platform 10 to drive the entire aluminum coil 2 to rotate around the axis of the mandrel sleeve 20, which is simple in structure. Of course, in other embodiments, the distance between the operating platform 11 and the drive platform 10, as well as the size and number of driven wheels 13, can be set to accommodate aluminum coils 2 with different diameters and lengths.

[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the number of driven wheels 13 on the drive platform 10 and the operating platform 11 are both two, but it is not limited to this. The structure is simple and can ensure the stability of the aluminum coil 2.

[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the drive assembly 3 includes a linear drive unit 30, a moving unit 31, a roller 32, a rotation drive unit, an expansion block 33, and an expansion drive unit 34. The output end of the linear drive unit 30 is connected to the moving unit 31. The moving unit 31 has a roller 32 on the side near the mandrel sleeve 20. The roller 32 forms the rotating part. The rotation drive unit is disposed on the moving unit 31 and connected to the roller 32. The diameter of the roller 32 is smaller than the diameter of the mandrel sleeve 20. The expansion block 33 and the expansion drive unit 34 are disposed on the roller 32, and the expansion drive unit 34 is connected to the expansion block 33.

[0037] In this embodiment, the linear drive unit 30 drives the moving unit 31 to reciprocate on the drive table 10. When inspection is required, as the moving unit 31 approaches the mandrel sleeve 20, the roller 32 of the moving unit 31 extends into the mandrel sleeve 20. At this time, the expansion drive unit 34 drives the expansion block 33 to expand and abut against the inner wall of the mandrel sleeve 20. Simultaneously, the rotation drive unit (not shown in the figure) drives the roller 32 to rotate around its own axis, thereby enabling the mandrel sleeve 20 to rotate synchronously through the expansion block 33. The structure is simple, eliminates the need for manual turning of the aluminum coil 2, effectively improves inspection efficiency, and reduces manual labor intensity.

[0038] The rotation drive unit in this embodiment can drive the aluminum coil 2 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise around the axis of the mandrel sleeve 20, thus facilitating manual inspection. After the inspection is completed, the expansion drive unit 34 drives the expansion block 33 to reset, and at the same time, the linear drive unit 30 drives the moving unit 31 on the drive table 10 to reset and move away from the aluminum coil 2, making the operation simple.

[0039] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, the expansion drive unit 34 is an expansion cylinder 340, which is mounted on the roller 32. The output end of the expansion cylinder 340 is vertically positioned. The expansion block 33 is semi-circular in shape. One end of each of the two expansion blocks 33 is hinged to the roller 32, and the other end of each of the two expansion blocks 33 is connected to the output end of the expansion cylinder 340.

[0040] In this embodiment, the expansion drive unit 34 is an expansion cylinder 340, but it is not limited to this; other drive structures such as electric rods can also be used in other embodiments. Two semi-circular annular expansion blocks 33 are hinged to the roller 32, which can adapt to changes in the inner diameter of the mandrel sleeve 20. The two semi-circular annular expansion blocks 33 are symmetrically arranged and can be made of a material with high friction to ensure that the roller 32 can smoothly drive the aluminum coil 2 to rotate around the axis of the mandrel sleeve 20 by passing smoothly through the expansion blocks 33. Of course, in other embodiments, the shape and material of the expansion blocks 33 can be customized.

[0041] like Figure 3 As shown, it also includes an elastic element 35. In this embodiment, the two ends of the elastic element 35 are respectively connected to the other ends of the two expansion blocks 33. After the inspection is completed, the elastic element 35 can cooperate with the expansion driving unit 34 to drive the expansion blocks 33 to reset, making the reset process faster and improving the inspection efficiency.

[0042] In this embodiment, the elastic element 35 is a tension spring 350, but it is not limited to this. Two semi-circular expansion blocks 33 are arranged symmetrically above and below. One end of the tension spring 350 is connected to the other end of the upper expansion block 33, and the other end of the tension spring 350 is connected to the other end of the lower expansion block 33. The structure is simple.

[0043] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, the linear drive unit 30 is a drive cylinder 300, which is mounted on the drive platform 10. The direction of movement of the output end of the drive cylinder 300 is consistent with the axial direction of the mandrel sleeve 20. The output end of the drive cylinder 300 is connected to the moving unit 31.

[0044] In this embodiment, the linear drive unit 30 is a drive cylinder 300, but it is not limited to this. In other embodiments, other drive structures such as electric poles can also be used. The drive cylinder 300 drives the moving unit 31 to reciprocate on the drive table 10 in a direction consistent with the axis of the mandrel sleeve 20, ensuring the smooth progress of the inspection process.

[0045] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the moving unit 31 is a moving trolley 310. One end of the moving trolley 310 is connected to the output end of the driving cylinder 300, and the other end of the moving trolley 310 is provided with the roller 32. The moving trolley 310 is slidably mounted on the driving platform 10.

[0046] In this embodiment, the moving unit 31 is a mobile trolley 310, but it is not limited to this; other slidable carriers can also be used in other embodiments. The method of directly driving the mobile trolley 310 through the linear drive unit 30 results in a simple structure and convenient control.

[0047] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in order to ensure the smooth sliding of the mobile trolley 310, this embodiment also includes a track 312 and a roller 311. The track 312 is set on the drive platform 10, and the length direction of the track 312 is consistent with the axial direction of the mandrel sleeve 20. The roller 311 is set at the bottom of the mobile trolley 310. The mobile trolley 310 slides on the track 312 through the roller 311. The structure is simple and conducive to later maintenance.

[0048] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment also includes a limiting block 313, which is set at both ends of the track 312. It can effectively prevent the moving trolley 310 from falling off the drive platform 10 and ensure that the roller 32 can smoothly pass through the expansion block 33 to drive the aluminum coil 2 to rotate around the axis of the mandrel sleeve 20.

[0049] The mobile trolley 310 in this embodiment is equipped with four rollers 311 at its bottom. Correspondingly, the drive platform 10 is equipped with two tracks 312. Each track 312 has a limit block 313 at both ends, but is not limited to this. The structure is simple and easy to load and unload.

[0050] The working process of this embodiment is as follows:

[0051] When starting the inspection, such as Figure 4 As shown, the drive cylinder 300 drives the moving trolley 310 to slide along the track 312 towards the mandrel sleeve 20. The rollers 311 of the moving trolley 310 abut against the limiting block 313 on the track 312 near the mandrel sleeve 20. The rollers 32 of the moving trolley 310 extend into the mandrel sleeve 20. At this time, the expansion cylinder 340 drives the expansion block 33 to expand and abut against the inner wall of the mandrel sleeve 20. The rotation drive unit (not shown in the figure) drives the rollers 32 to rotate around their own axis, thereby driving the mandrel sleeve 20 to rotate synchronously through the expansion block 33. The operator inspects the rotating aluminum coil 2.

[0052] After the inspection is completed, the expansion cylinder 340, in conjunction with the elastic element 35, drives the expansion block 33 to expand and reset. The drive cylinder 300 drives the moving trolley 310 to slide along the track 312 away from the mandrel sleeve 20. The rollers 311 of the moving trolley 310 abut against the limit block 313 on the track 312 away from the mandrel sleeve 20. Figure 1 As shown.

[0053] The directional terms used in this specification are defined relative to the structures shown in the accompanying drawings. They are relative concepts and may therefore vary depending on their location and usage. Therefore, these or other directional terms should not be interpreted as restrictive.

[0054] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the design of this case. All equivalent changes made based on the key design of this case shall fall within the protection scope of this case.
