Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automated control of continuous casting processes, and in particular to a sliding mechanism and a proximity switch triggering device. Background Technology

[0002] Proximity switch signals are a crucial component of process automation control. All mechanical and electrical interlocks of the casting machine are processed uniformly based on feedback from on-site electrical detection signals. These electrical signals act as the eyes of the system, participating in system control, early warning, and shutdown interlocks, and are closely related to production. Production stability depends not only on the stable operation of mechanical equipment, but also, if proximity switches are used to control the start and stop of equipment, the proximity switch signals play a decisive role. The stability of proximity switch signals directly affects production stability, and in severe cases, can even affect product quality and non-stop operation of the entire area.

[0003] Currently, the design and installation of proximity switches in continuous casting areas adhere to the principles of cost-effectiveness and ease of construction and installation. They are installed on or close to the equipment body. However, the area near the equipment body is mostly a high-temperature and high-humidity environment, and the installation space is relatively narrow. The high temperature and high humidity environment has a huge impact on electrical equipment, making the equipment prone to failure and directly affecting the feedback of the equipment's operating status. Abnormal signal feedback also directly affects production efficiency. The narrow environment increases the difficulty of daily maintenance and inspection and poses certain dangers. Problems that occur during production are difficult to handle, posing a significant hidden danger to safe production. Utility Model Content

[0025] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0026] The terminology used in this invention refers to those general terms currently widely used in the art in consideration of the functionality of this invention; however, these terms may vary according to the intent, precedent, or new technology of those skilled in the art. Furthermore, specific terms may be chosen by the applicant, and in such cases, their detailed meanings will be described in the detailed description of this invention. Therefore, the terminology used in this specification should not be construed as simple names, but rather based on the meaning of the terms and the overall description of this invention.

[0027] Reference Figures 1 to 3 This embodiment provides a sliding mechanism, including a support component 1. The support component 1 is elongated and is used to support a sliding component 2. The sliding component 2 can slide back and forth along the support component 1. The support component 1 is cut from channel steel, I-beam steel, square steel pipe, etc., as long as the surface is smooth and the sliding component 2 can slide along its surface.

[0028] It also includes a sliding component 2, which includes a sliding plate 24. The sliding plate 24 has a U-shaped cross-section and is adapted to be fastened to the support component 1. The side walls of the U-shaped groove of the sliding plate 24 can prevent the sliding plate 24 from falling off the support component 1, and at the same time, it will not interfere with the sliding of the sliding plate 24 along the support component 1. Preferably, the sliding plate 24 is made of channel steel.

[0029] In one embodiment provided in this application, reference is made to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The sliding component 2 also includes a connecting component 21, which is welded to the sliding plate 24.

[0030] Furthermore, the connecting component 21 includes a fixing plate 211, on which a fixing hole 212 is provided, and a traction member 23 is attached to the fixing hole 212 so that the traction member 23 can pull the sliding plate 24.

[0031] The sliding component 2 also includes a guide component 22, which is disposed at one end of the support component 1. The traction component 23 extends from the guide component 22 toward the connecting component 21 and passes through the guide component 22.

[0032] In one embodiment provided in this application, reference is made to Figure 4 The support component 1 is suitable for inclined installation. The horizontal height of the end of the support component 1 near the guide component 22 is higher than the horizontal height of the end of the support component 1 away from the guide component 22. The support component 1 is set at an angle α of 60 to 70 degrees with the horizontal plane so that the sliding plate 24 can slide from the higher end of the support component 1 to the lower end by its own weight.

[0033] In one embodiment provided in this application, reference is made to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The guide assembly 22 includes a base plate 221, which is welded to one end of the support component 1. Two support plates 222 are symmetrically welded to the top surface of the base plate 221, and a pulley 223 is rotatably connected between the two support plates 222.

[0034] Furthermore, the distance from the bottom surface of pulley 223 to the top surface of support member 1 is the same as the distance from fixing hole 212 to the top surface of support member 1. Pulley 223 serves as a fixed pulley, and traction member 23 slides along the surface of pulley 223. The part of traction member 23 between fixing plate 211 and pulley 223 is parallel to the top surface of support member 1. When traction member 23 pulls sliding plate 24, it makes sliding plate 24 move smoothly and prevents sliding plate 24 from falling off.

[0035] In one embodiment provided in this application, reference is made to Figure 1 and Figure 2The traction component 23 is a steel wire rope, with one end connected to the fixing hole 212 and the other end of the traction component 23 extending towards the support plate 222 and overlapping the pulley 223.

[0036] In one embodiment provided in this application, reference is made to Figure 1 It also includes a reset component 3, which includes a drive component 31. The output end of the drive component 31 is connected to a rocker arm 32. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the drive component 31 can be configured as a motor. The output end of the motor reciprocates, driving the rocker arm 32 to swing back and forth.

[0037] The driving component 31 can also be configured as a cylinder, with the piston rod of the cylinder connected to a rack, and the contact end between the rocker handle 32 and the rack configured as a gear. The reciprocating movement of the rack drives the reciprocating movement of the gear to realize the reciprocating swing of the rocker handle 32.

[0038] In one embodiment provided in this application, reference is made to Figure 1 The end of the crank 32 away from the drive member 31 is fixedly connected to the traction member 23. When the crank 32 approaches the support member 1, the traction member 23 is released and the sliding plate 24 slides down due to its own weight. When the crank 32 moves away from the support member 1, the traction member 23 pulls the sliding plate 24 up to the higher end of the support member 1.

[0039] Reference Figures 1 to 3 This utility model also proposes a proximity switch triggering device, including the aforementioned sliding mechanism.

[0040] In one embodiment provided in this application, reference is made to Figure 1 and Figure 3 It also includes a sensing component 4, which includes a trigger 41, which is disposed on one side of the sliding plate 24.

[0041] In one embodiment provided in this application, reference is made to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The trigger 41 includes a connecting rib 411, which is welded to the side wall of the sliding plate 24. A limit sensing block 412 is provided at the other end of the connecting rib 411. In this embodiment, the limit sensing block 412 is arranged perpendicular to the connecting rib 411, and the connecting rib 411 is perpendicular to the side wall of the sliding plate 24. That is, the limit sensing block 412 is arranged parallel to the side wall of the sliding plate 24.

[0042] The limit sensor block 412 is welded to the connecting rib 411, or both are formed by bending.

[0043] In one embodiment provided in this application, reference is made to Figure 1 The sensing component 4 also includes a limiting mounting bracket 42, which is disposed on one side of the supporting component 1, and the limiting mounting bracket 42 has mounting holes 43 along its length.

[0044] In this embodiment, the limiting mounting bracket 42 extends outward from the bottom side of the support member 1 and then upward, and the mounting hole 43 is opened in the upward extension of the limiting mounting bracket 42.

[0045] Mounting hole 43 is used to install proximity switches. The elongated shape of mounting hole 43 makes it easy to adjust the position of the proximity switch within the mounting hole 43. For example, two proximity switches can be installed in mounting hole 43 to work together to control the travel of the device. The relative positions of the two proximity switches can be flexibly adjusted within mounting hole 43 to control the travel of the controlled device.

[0046] The following describes the operation of the device: In the initial state, the sliding plate 24 is at the lower end of the support component 1, and the crank 32 is at position a. The drive component 31 is activated, causing the crank 32 to move to position b. During the movement of the crank 32, the sliding plate 24 is moved towards the higher end of the support component 1 by the traction component 23. After the crank 32 reaches position b, the drive component 31 stops.

[0047] When the drive unit 31 receives the return signal, it starts. The crank 32 moves from position b to position a. The traction unit 23 releases the pull on the sliding plate 24. The sliding plate 24 slides down along the support member 1 due to gravity until the drive unit 31 stops moving.

[0048] The reset component 3 can also be replaced manually. When the sliding plate 24 needs to be moved upward, the manual puller 23 can be lifted to the designated position.

[0049] The reciprocating movement of the sliding plate 24 drives the trigger element 41 to move, so that the proximity switch controls the operation of the controlled equipment.

[0050] The inclined arrangement of the support component 1 in this device allows the sliding plate 24 to slide by its own physical properties, making the overall structure of the device simpler. The setting of the traction component 23 allows the reset component 3 to be set away from harsh working environments such as high temperature, which improves the stability of the device and further ensures the stability of the survival process.

[0051] Furthermore, the limit switch in this device is flexibly installed. Depending on the site environment, the reset component 3 can be installed in an area far away from harsh working environments such as high temperature by setting the length of the traction component 23. This not only improves the stability and reliability of the reset component 3's operation and ensures the continuity of production, but also provides convenience for daily maintenance and inspection, making the trigger signal timely and accurate, and ensuring production efficiency.

[0052] Meanwhile, this device is inexpensive to manufacture, and the main body can be made of two specifications of channel steel and angle steel, which are readily available and easy to manufacture.

[0053] Finally, it should be noted that the methods and devices described in detail above are merely embodiments, and those skilled in the art can modify these embodiments in different ways as long as they do not depart from the scope of this utility model.
