[0034] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment proposes a flip-top guide channel, including a crossbeam 1, a guide channel 2, at least one flip-top assembly 3, and at least one first guide wheel 4. The guide channel 2 is disposed above the crossbeam 1, and a first opening is formed at the top of the guide channel 2. The first flip-top assembly 3 is disposed on the crossbeam 1 and is used to support the guide channel 2. The first guide wheel 4 is disposed on the crossbeam 1 and located below the guide channel 2. In addition, a second opening 21 is formed on the guide channel 2 for each first guide wheel 4 to extend into and contact the rolled piece. By providing at least one flip-top assembly 3 on the crossbeam 1, it can be used to support the guide channel 2; by providing at least one first guide wheel 4 on the crossbeam 1 and located below the guide channel 2, the rolled piece can be rolled forward by the first guide wheel 4, so that the rolling piece changes from sliding friction to rolling friction, making the movement smoother and more efficient, while effectively reducing the noise of the rolled piece movement and reducing the wear on the surface of the rolled piece.

[0035] Further, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the crossbeam 1 is also equipped with at least one pair of second guide wheels 5, which are distributed on opposite sides of the vertical guide groove 2. The guide groove 2 has a third opening 22, which allows the pair of second guide wheels 5 to extend into and contact the rolled piece. By providing at least one pair of second guide wheels 5 on both sides of the crossbeam 1, the movement trajectory of the rolled piece can be corrected by the pair of second guide wheels 5, thereby improving the accuracy of the movement trajectory and effectively preventing steel jamming accidents.

[0036] Further, please refer to Figure 1 As shown, a support base 6 is provided on the crossbeam 1, and the first guide wheel 4 is rotatably mounted on the support base 6 via a rotating shaft. By setting the support base 6, the first guide wheel 4 can be rotatably mounted on the support base 6 via a rotating shaft, thereby realizing the flexible rotation of the first guide wheel 4 on the support base 6, ensuring that the first guide wheel 4 can smoothly contact the workpiece and roll forward, further improving the smoothness and efficiency of the workpiece movement.

[0037] Further, please refer to Figure 4 As shown, the crossbeam 1 is also provided with a positioning pin 11 for positioning the support seat 6. By setting the positioning pin 11, the support seat 6 can be accurately positioned, which on the one hand ensures that the support seat 6 can be stably installed on the crossbeam 1, further improving the installation stability and reliability of the first guide wheel 4; on the other hand, it also ensures the accurate positioning of the first guide wheel 4.

[0038] Furthermore, there are multiple first guide wheels 4 and multiple pairs of second guide wheels 5, with each first guide wheel 4 and each pair of second guide wheels 5 distributed alternately along the extension direction of the guide groove 2. This alternating distribution of the first guide wheels 4 and second guide wheels 5 allows for more even support and guidance of the rolled piece as it rolls forward in the guide groove, further improving the smoothness and accuracy of the rolled piece's movement. Simultaneously, this alternating distribution also ensures that the rolled piece receives a more uniform force during movement, reducing the risk of deformation or damage due to uneven force distribution.

[0039] Further, please refer to Figure 4 As shown, the flip-top assembly 3 includes a mounting base 31, a cover plate 32, a pressure cap 33, and a handle 34. The mounting base 31 is mounted on the crossbeam 1 and supports the guide groove 2. The cover plate 32 is fastened to the top of the guide groove 2 to seal the first opening. The pressure cap 33 is rotatably mounted on the mounting base 31 and presses against the cover plate 32. The handle 34 is rotatably mounted on the mounting base 31 and locks the pressure cap 33. With this design, the flip-top assembly 3 can be easily opened or closed. In the event of a steel stacking accident, the rolled steel in the guide groove 2 can be removed by opening the cover plate 32, facilitating the quick removal of scrap steel.

[0040] Further, please refer to Figure 4 As shown, in order to improve the connection stability between the pressure cap 33 and the handle 34, the pressure cap 33 is provided with an extension plate 35, and the handle 34 is provided with a slot 36 for the extension plate 35 to extend into. When the handle 34 is rotated to the locked position, the extension plate 35 will extend into the slot 36, thereby preventing the pressure cap 33 from being opened accidentally.

[0041] Further, please refer to Figure 1As shown, the cover 32 is provided with a handle 37 for easy operation. The operator can easily open or close the cover 32 by holding the handle 37.

[0042] Furthermore, the mounting base 31 is provided with a receiving groove (not shown in the attached drawing), in which the guide groove 2 can be placed. This design allows the guide groove 2 to be securely mounted on the mounting base 31, while also providing some protection for the guide groove 2, preventing damage during use. In addition, the receiving groove design facilitates the installation and removal of the guide groove 2, improving work efficiency.

[0043] Further, please refer to Figure 3 As shown, the mounting base 31 is also equipped with a support plate 7 for supporting the second guide wheel 5. The support plate 7 can effectively support the second guide wheel 5, ensuring that the second guide wheel 5 can rotate stably during use, further improving the motion trajectory accuracy of the rolled piece. At the same time, the design of the support plate 7 also facilitates the user's installation and adjustment operations for the second guide wheel 5.

[0044] Finally, it should be noted that the above preferred embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail through the above preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes can be made to it in form and detail without departing from the scope defined by the claims of this utility model.
