Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of mechanical equipment technology, and specifically relates to a steel sleeve transport device. Background Technology

[0002] In the production line of aluminum processing tension bending and straightening machines, most of the time it is necessary to hoist the inner support steel core (steel sleeve) of the aluminum coil, which is unloaded from the uncoiler after one aluminum coil is produced, to the coiler for use as the support steel core for new aluminum coils. However, the hoisting process of the aforementioned steel sleeve is quite frequent, which not only requires a dedicated hoisting operator but also poses a significant safety risk.

[0003] Currently, rolling mills typically use robotic arms and transport tracks to move steel sleeves, transporting sleeves unloaded from the uncoiler to the coiler for reuse. However, such transport systems with robotic arms and tracks are expensive and require significant space. Currently, no domestic manufacturers use automated sleeve transport devices on tension bending and straightening mills to automatically move sleeves from the uncoiler to the uncoiler for later use; all operations still rely on manual overhead crane hoisting.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a safe, efficient, low-cost, and highly adaptable steel sleeve transport device. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the aforementioned shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a steel sleeve transport device, aiming to solve the problems of low efficiency and high risk in manually operating overhead cranes to transport steel sleeves, as well as the high cost, site limitations, and poor applicability of existing sleeve transport devices.

[0006] This utility model solves the above-mentioned technical problems through the following technical means:

[0007] A steel sleeve transport device includes an underground passage, an unloading track, a transport vehicle, and a storage rack;

[0008] The underground passage is equipped with a limit guide rail. The underground passage has a feed port at the end near the uncoiling machine of the aluminum processing tension bending straightening machine. A receiving component for receiving steel sleeves is provided at the upper end of the feed port. The underground passage has a discharge port at the end near the coiling machine of the aluminum processing tension bending straightening machine. The storage rack is located at the upper end of the discharge port.

[0009] The unloading track is located on the uncoiler side of the aluminum processing bending and straightening machine train. The unloading track is used to receive the steel sleeves disassembled from the uncoiler and transport the steel sleeves to the receiving assembly.

[0010] The lower end of the transport vehicle is slidably connected to the limiting guide rail. The transport vehicle is equipped with a linear motor, which is used to drive the transport vehicle to move horizontally along the limiting guide rail. The transport vehicle has a lifting and adjusting function. The transport vehicle is used to transfer the steel sleeve on the receiving component to the storage rack.

[0011] The steel sleeve transport device is also equipped with a controller, which is electrically connected to the transport vehicle and the linear motor.

[0012] Furthermore, the receiving assembly includes a receiving plate fixedly installed at the upper end of the feed inlet of the underground channel. A through groove is opened in the middle of the receiving plate. The receiving plate is provided with a base arranged in the shape of a "mountain" on both sides away from the through groove. Two receiving rollers inclined towards the middle are rotatably connected to each base. The two receiving rollers on the base are arranged in a V-shape.

[0013] This structural design allows the steel sleeve to be supported by receiving rollers arranged in a V-shape, resulting in good stability.

[0014] Furthermore, the storage rack is H-shaped and is placed horizontally above the discharge port. A placement groove is provided on the upper surface of the storage rack, and the bottom of the placement groove is inclined towards the end away from the receiving component.

[0015] With this structural design, the steel sleeves placed on the storage rack can automatically move outward under the action of gravity, which facilitates the subsequent storage of steel sleeves. Moreover, the steel sleeves placed on the storage rack are highly stable and will not fall off the storage rack.

[0016] Furthermore, the unloading track includes a guide groove set on the side of the feed inlet of the underground channel. The guide groove is provided with several evenly spaced bases. A baffle is fixedly connected to the side of the feed inlet away from the guide groove, and the baffle is directly opposite the guide groove.

[0017] This structural design makes unloading and transporting steel sleeves more convenient. The steel sleeves disassembled from the uncoiler can be placed on the unloading track nearby, and then the steel sleeves can be transported to the receiving components with a gentle push. It is efficient, convenient, time-saving and labor-saving.

[0018] Furthermore, the transport vehicle includes a vehicle body, the bottom of which is provided with a limiting pulley that slides in cooperation with the limiting guide rail, and a lifting platform on the upper side of the vehicle body. The lifting platform is equipped with a hydraulic pump station and a lifting cylinder. Two support frames that are fixedly connected to the lifting platform are respectively provided at both ends of the upper side of the lifting platform, and each support frame is rotatably connected with a support roller.

[0019] This structural design allows for the safe and efficient transfer of the steel sleeves on the receiving components to the storage rack via a transport vehicle.

[0020] Beneficial effects:

[0021] 1. Compared with existing transportation systems with robotic arms and transport tracks, the steel sleeve transport device of this utility model has a simple structure and low cost.

[0022] 2. The steel sleeve transport device of this utility model is equipped with an underground passage, unloading track, transport vehicle, storage rack and receiving component. The steel sleeve is transported in the underground passage by the transport vehicle. The unloading track, storage rack and receiving component work together to solve the problem of existing transport devices being limited by the site, greatly improve the applicability of the device, and improve the transport efficiency and safety.

[0035] The lower end of the transport vehicle 3 is slidably connected to the limiting guide rail 5. The transport vehicle 3 is equipped with a linear motor, which is used to drive the transport vehicle 3 to move horizontally along the limiting guide rail 5. The transport vehicle 3 has a lifting adjustment function. The transport vehicle 3 is used to transfer the steel sleeve on the receiving component to the storage rack 4.

[0036] The steel sleeve transport device is also equipped with a controller, which is electrically connected to the transport vehicle 3 and the linear motor.

[0037] As a preferred embodiment, the receiving assembly includes a receiving plate 8 fixedly installed at the upper end of the feed inlet 6 of the underground channel 1. A through groove is opened in the middle of the receiving plate 8. A base 9 arranged in a "mountain" shape is installed on both the left and right sides of the receiving plate 8. The base 9 is fixedly connected to the receiving plate 8 by bolts. Two receiving rollers 10 inclined towards the middle are rotatably connected to each base 9.

[0039] In a preferred embodiment, the unloading track 2 includes a guide groove 12 located on the left side of the feed inlet 6 of the underground channel 1. In this embodiment, the guide groove 12 is inclined toward the feed inlet 6. Several evenly spaced bases 9 are installed inside the guide groove 12.

At this point, the steel sleeve is stably placed on the receiving component. Then, the linear motor is started by the controller, driving the transport vehicle 3 to move along the limit guide rail 5 to the feed inlet 6 of the underground passage 1. Next, the lifting platform 16 is raised. During the raising process, the support rollers 18 at both ends of the lifting platform 16 first make close contact with the steel sleeve, then drive the steel sleeve upwards with the support rollers 18 until the steel sleeve is completely separated from the receiving component and until the height of the steel sleeve is completely higher than the height of the receiving component. Then, the transport vehicle 3 is driven by the linear motor to move towards the discharge port 7, and the lifting platform 16 is raised until the height of the steel sleeve on the lifting platform 16 is completely higher than the storage rack 4. Then, the transport vehicle 3 is driven to move towards the storage rack 4 until the steel sleeve on the transport vehicle 3 is directly above the storage rack 4. Finally, the lifting platform 16 is lowered, thus placing the steel sleeve on the storage rack. This process is repeated to transport subsequent steel sleeves.
