Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steel rolling equipment technology, and more specifically, to a special device that facilitates the installation of strapping reels on a baler. Background Technology
[0002] In cold rolling continuous annealing units, the baling machine is a key piece of equipment used for bundling steel coils, and its stable operation directly affects production line efficiency. Traditional baling machines have significant drawbacks when changing the strapping reels: due to the compact equipment layout and the narrow, high-positioned installation location of the strapping reels, the original replacement method requires three operators to work together, manually moving, aligning, and securing the reels using lifting equipment. During this process, personnel must frequently climb the equipment and spend extended periods in confined spaces, which is not only time-consuming (each replacement takes more than 30 minutes) but also poses safety hazards such as falls from heights and mechanical collisions. Furthermore, the low accuracy of manual alignment easily leads to installation deviations of the strapping reels, causing the baling machine to jam or require secondary adjustments, further extending downtime. If the strapping is exhausted and not replaced in time, it will cause the exit walking beam to become clogged, forcing the unit to slow down or even stop, severely impacting production continuity. Current technology lacks specialized tools for quick single-person replacement, making it difficult to balance efficiency and safety.
[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a specialized device with an adaptable structure and simplified operation to solve the technical problems of low efficiency in changing strapping reels, high dependence on manpower, and prominent safety risks. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the aforementioned technical issues, a specialized device is provided that facilitates the installation of strapping reels on balers. Through hydraulic lifting, precise track guidance, and automatic fine-tuning claws, a single person can quickly install the strapping reels on a baler.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a special device for facilitating the installation of strapping reels on a baler, comprising: a lifting trolley, a guide rail, a positioning and locking mechanism, and an operating handle.
[0006] The lifting trolley is used to carry and lift the strapping reel to a preset height;
[0007] The guide rail is installed on the side of the baler and is slidably connected to the lifting trolley to guide the strapping reel to move in a straight line to the installation position;
[0008] The positioning and locking mechanism, located at the end of the guide rail, includes retractable claws and a drive cylinder, for automatically aligning and fixing the strapping reel to the mounting shaft of the baler;
[0009] The operating handle is integrated into the lifting trolley and controls the lifting and lowering of the trolley and the translation of the guide rail.
[0010] Furthermore, the lifting trolley includes a hydraulic lifting platform and an adjustable tray. The surface of the tray is provided with anti-slip texture and limit baffles for securely fixing strapping reels of different specifications.
[0011] Furthermore, the guide rail has a double-layer slide rail structure, including a horizontal slide rail and a vertical slide rail. The horizontal slide rail is fixedly connected to the baler base, and the vertical slide rail can be folded and stored through a hinge to adapt to narrow working spaces.
[0012] Furthermore, the positioning and locking mechanism also includes an infrared sensor installed at the front end of the adjustable tray, used to detect the axial deviation between the strap reel and the mounting shaft in real time, and to feed back the information to the drive cylinder for fine adjustment.
[0013] Furthermore, the operating handle has a built-in wireless control module that is connected to the baler control system, enabling one-button triggering of the automatic installation process of the strapping reel.
[0014] Furthermore, it also includes safety protection devices, including a fall arrestor lock located at the bottom of the lifting trolley and emergency stop buttons on both sides of the guide rail, to prevent the strapping reel from accidentally falling off during lifting or lateral movement.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, this utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art:
[0016] 1. This utility model provides a special device for easy installation of strapping reels on balers. Through the coordinated design of the lifting trolley, foldable guide rail and intelligent positioning and locking mechanism, the replacement process that originally required 3 people to operate is optimized to single-person operation, completely eliminating the risk of mechanical collisions in high-altitude climbing and multi-person cooperation, and reducing personnel safety risks.
[0017] 2. This utility model provides a special device for easy installation of strapping reels on balers. By adopting a hydraulic lifting platform and a rolling friction guide rail, the strapping reel replacement time is shortened from the original 30 minutes to less than 10 minutes, reducing the risk of blockage of the exit step beam due to machine downtime and improving the continuous operation efficiency of the unit.
[0018] 3. This utility model provides a special device for easy installation of strapping reels on a baler. The split adjustable tray is adapted to strapping reels of different diameters. Combined with infrared sensor fine adjustment and claws, the installation axis deviation control accuracy reaches ±1mm, avoiding the problem of baler jamming caused by manual alignment error and reducing the equipment failure rate.
[0019] Based on the above reasons, this utility model can be widely promoted in the field of steel rolling equipment technology. Attached Figure Description

[0032] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this utility model provides a special device for easy installation of strapping reels on a baler, including: a lifting trolley, a guide rail, a positioning and locking mechanism, and an operating handle.
[0033] Lifting trolley 1 is used to carry and lift the strapping reel to a preset height;
[0034] Guide rail 2 is installed on the side of the baler and is slidably connected to the lifting trolley to guide the strapping reel to move in a straight line to the installation position;
[0035] The positioning and locking mechanism 3 is located at the end of the guide rail and includes a retractable claw 31 and a drive cylinder 32 for automatically aligning and fixing the strapping reel to the mounting shaft of the baler.
[0036] Operating handle 4 is integrated on the lifting trolley and controls the lifting and lowering of the trolley and the translation of the guide rail.
[0037] In actual use, move the lifting trolley to the side of the baler base, start the hydraulic lifting platform 11 to lift the adjustable pallet 12 to the preset height; adjust the position of the pallet extension plate according to the diameter of the strapping reel, slide the extension plate through the slide groove and lock the limit bolt to ensure that the anti-slip texture of the pallet and the limit baffle fix the strapping reel.
[0038] Unfold the guide rail assembly and rotate the folded vertical slide rail 22 around the hinge to the vertical direction; start the motor of the horizontal slide rail 21 to drive the strapping reel to move along the track, and reduce the movement resistance by having the nylon rollers of the guide roller group roll into contact with the outer edge of the strapping reel;
[0039] When the strapping reel approaches the mounting shaft of the baler, the infrared sensor 33 of the positioning and locking mechanism detects the axis deviation and sends a signal to the cylinder 32; the cylinder drives the claw 31 to extend and retract horizontally, and the claw fits the outer diameter of the mounting shaft through the groove and the rubber buffer pad to complete the impact-free locking.
[0040] The wireless control module of the integrated operating handle 41 can be used to simultaneously control the hydraulic lifting, track translation and locking actions, enabling one-button operation by a single person; if the hydraulic system is overloaded, the safety protection device 5 will trigger the anti-fall lock 53 to automatically lock the tray, and the emergency stop button 52 will cut off the power to prevent accidents.
[0041] Furthermore, the lifting trolley 1 includes a hydraulic lifting platform 11 and an adjustable tray 12. The surface of the tray 12 is provided with anti-slip texture and limit baffles for firmly fixing strapping reels of different specifications. The adjustable tray 12 is compatible with strapping reels of different diameters, avoiding the need to change tool models and improving versatility by 80%. The anti-slip texture also prevents the strapping reels from shifting.
[0042] Furthermore, the guide rail 2 is a double-layer slide rail structure, including a horizontal slide rail 21 and a vertical slide rail 22. The horizontal slide rail 21 is fixedly connected to the baler base, and the vertical slide rail 22 can be folded and stored through the hinge 23 to adapt to narrow working spaces.
[0043] Furthermore, the positioning and locking mechanism 3 also includes an infrared sensor 33, which is installed at the front end of the adjustable tray 12 to detect the axis deviation between the strapping reel and the mounting shaft in real time and feed it back to the drive cylinder 32 for fine adjustment.
[0044] Furthermore, the operating handle 4 has a built-in wireless control module that is connected to the baler control system to trigger the automatic installation process of the strapping reel with one click.
[0045] Furthermore, it also includes a safety protection device 5, including a fall arrestor 51 located at the bottom of the lifting trolley and emergency stop buttons 52 on both sides of the guide rail, to prevent the strapping reel from accidentally falling off during lifting or translation.
[0046] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein.
