Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of steel processing, and in particular to a billet transfer and orientation device. Background Technology

[0002] In modern steel production and processing, the processing of steel billets is a crucial step. As the initial raw material for steel production, the quality of subsequent processing of steel billets directly affects the performance and quality of the final steel products. In the steel production process, the rapid and precise transfer of steel billets from the heating furnace to the rolling mill production line after heating is a key link in maintaining a smooth and efficient production process.

[0003] However, when steel billets exit the self-heating furnace, their surface temperature often reaches 1000℃-1300℃. Therefore, commonly used billet transfer equipment, such as cylinders or hydraulic cylinders, directly abuts the billets. This method is ineffective when dealing with high-temperature billets. The high temperature causes significant changes in the billet's physical properties, drastically reducing its surface hardness and softening its texture. During transfer, it is highly susceptible to deformation upon encountering significant external forces. This deformation not only affects the dimensional accuracy of the billet but also hinders subsequent rolling processes, potentially leading to substandard rolled steel products, increased defect rates, and resource waste. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to reduce the impact of transfer equipment on steel billets, this application provides a steel billet transfer and reorientation device.

[0005] The billet transfer and orientation device provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A billet transfer and orientation device includes a conveyor table with multiple conveyor rollers rotatably connected to it. A limiting component is provided on one side of the conveyor table to restrict the position of the billet on the multiple conveyor rollers. A rotating component is provided on one side of each conveyor roller to drive it to rotate. Multiple mounting frames are provided on one side of each conveyor roller, with the mounting direction parallel to the axis of the conveyor rollers. First sprockets are rotatably connected to both ends of each mounting frame. A first chain is connected to two first sprockets on the same mounting frame, and an abutment block is fixedly connected to the first chain. A driving component for driving the first sprockets to rotate is mounted on the mounting frame.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the heated steel billet can be conveyed by the conveyor rollers on the conveyor table to the limiting position of the limiting component. Then, the position of the steel billet is restricted on multiple conveyor rollers by the limiting component. Then, by controlling the driving component, the driving component drives the first sprocket to rotate, thereby driving the first chain to drive, which in turn drives the abutment block fixedly connected to the first chain.

[0008] Optionally, the limiting component includes a support platform, a limiting frame is fixedly connected to the support platform, an abutment post is provided in the limiting frame, one end of the abutment post near the conveying roller extends out of the limiting frame, and the abutment post is slidably connected in the limiting frame, and an elastic element for limiting the sliding of the abutment post is provided in the limiting frame.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the steel billet can be blocked by the abutment column. At the same time, the elastic element can be set so that the abutment column has a certain amount of expansion and contraction, reducing the rigidity of the abutment column and thus reducing the impact on the steel billet.

[0010] Optionally, the elastic element is configured as a spring, which is sleeved on the outer wall of the abutment post, with one end of the spring fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the limiting frame and the other end of the spring fixedly connected to the abutment post.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the abutment rod can be reset by a spring, which facilitates the secondary operation of the abutment rod.

[0012] Optionally, an abutment plate is fixedly connected to one end of the abutment post near the conveyor roller.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the steel billet can be received by the abutment plate, thereby reducing the pressure of the abutment rod on the steel billet.

[0014] Optionally, the abutment block is fixedly connected to the first chain by welding.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the abutment block can be firmly fixed to the first chain by welding.

[0016] Optionally, the driving component is configured as a drive motor, and the output shaft of the drive motor is coaxially arranged and fixedly connected to the first sprocket.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the drive motor can be controlled to make the first sprocket rotate.

[0018] Optionally, the rotating assembly includes a geared motor, a second sprocket is fixedly connected to the end of the conveying roller, a second chain is sleeved between two adjacent second sprockets, an output sprocket is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the geared motor, and a third chain is sleeved between the output sprocket and one of the second sprockets.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the geared motor can be controlled to drive the output sprocket to rotate, which in turn drives the second sprocket to rotate via the third chain. Under the action of the second chain, multiple conveyor rollers will rotate.

[0020] Optionally, a position sensor for monitoring the position of the billet on the conveying roller is installed on one side of the conveying roller, and the position sensor is electrically connected to both the drive motor and the reduction motor.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, it can be achieved.

[0022] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0023] 1. The steel billet can be blocked by the abutment column, and the elastic element can be set to allow the abutment column to have a certain amount of expansion and contraction, thereby reducing the rigidity of the abutment column and thus reducing the impact on the steel billet.

[0024] 2. By controlling the geared motor, the geared motor can drive the output sprocket to rotate, which in turn drives the second sprocket to rotate through the third chain. Under the action of the second chain, multiple conveyor rollers will rotate.

[0025] 3. The position of the billet can be restricted on multiple conveying rollers by the limiting component. Then, by controlling the driving component, the driving component drives the first sprocket to rotate, thereby driving the first chain to transmit power, which in turn drives the abutment block fixedly connected to the first chain.

In this embodiment, the drive component 8 is a drive motor, which is mounted on the mounting bracket 5. The output shaft of the drive motor is coaxially arranged and fixedly connected to the plurality of first sprockets 6.

[0033] Then, by controlling the drive motor, the drive motor drives the first sprocket 6 to rotate, so that the first chain 7 is transmitted on the mounting frame 5.

[0034] A rotating assembly 4 for driving the conveyor roller 2 to rotate is provided on one side. The rotating assembly 4 includes a geared motor 41, and a second sprocket 42 is fixedly connected to the end of the conveyor roller 2.
