Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of forging furnace technology, specifically to a forging furnace feeding mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] In traditional forging processes, the feeding mechanism delivers metal billets into the forging furnace or forging press in a predetermined sequence for heating or forming. Existing feeding mechanisms face efficiency bottlenecks in many forging processes, especially in scenarios requiring multiple workpiece clamping and feeding. Traditional feeding equipment often cannot handle multiple workpieces simultaneously, leading to low feeding efficiency, complex operation, and wasted time. Therefore, existing feeding mechanisms typically exhibit the following technical background and shortcomings:

[0003] In existing feeding mechanisms, most designs can only handle feeding a single workpiece and cannot meet the needs of processing multiple workpieces simultaneously. For some forging production lines, multiple metal billets need to be fed into the furnace for heating at the same time, but existing feeding mechanisms often face problems such as insufficient space and insecure clamping when clamping multiple workpieces at the same time, resulting in inaccurate feeding or workpiece damage.

[0004] Because most existing feeding mechanisms are designed for single-feed operations, and each feeding requires a stop and waiting period, production efficiency is reduced. Especially in mass production, the repetitive feeding process can become a bottleneck, affecting the output speed of the entire production line.

[0005] Therefore, based on the above-mentioned technical problems, it is necessary for those skilled in the art to develop a feeding mechanism for a forging furnace. Utility Model Content

[0025] The features and exemplary embodiments of various aspects of this utility model will now be described in detail. To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, will provide a further detailed description. For those skilled in the art, this utility model can be implemented without some of these specific details. The following description of the embodiments is merely intended to provide a better understanding of this utility model by illustrating examples.

[0026] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution for a forging furnace feeding mechanism: it includes a vertical frame 11, which is fixedly installed in the working area. A reinforcing base frame 12 is connected to the bottom of the vertical frame 11, and a reinforcing top frame 13 is connected to the top. The reinforcing base frame 12 and the reinforcing top frame 13 provide a stable support structure for the feeding mechanism.

[0027] The feeding seat 2 is mounted on the reinforced top frame 13 and can move along the length of the reinforced top frame 13. A movable mold base 21 is provided on the back of the feeding seat 2, which is slidably connected to the reinforced top frame 13 via a linear guide rail and is controlled to move horizontally by a drive motor. The design of the movable mold base 21 allows the feeding seat 2 to move horizontally on the reinforced top frame 13, facilitating the feeding of workpieces at different positions.

[0028] The front end of the feeding base 2 is provided with a feeding plate 22 for carrying and pushing the workpiece. Multiple sets of lifting cylinders 3 are installed on the feeding plate 22, and the lifting column end of the lifting cylinder 3 is connected to a clamping top seat 32. The clamping top seat 32 is used to support and position the workpiece.

[0029] A clamp cylinder 33 is located below the clamp top seat 32, and its output end is connected to a movable plate 34. Multiple movable arms 35 are mounted above the movable plate 34, and each movable arm 35 is movably connected to the clamp top seat 32. A linkage arm 36 is mounted at its tail end and hinged to the linkage arm 35. The linkage arm 36 is rotatably connected to the movable plate 34 to achieve the lifting and lowering action of the linkage arm 36.

[0030] A clamping block 37 is located at the end of the linkage arm 36 and is used to clamp the workpiece. The inner side of the clamping block 37 is provided with a high-temperature resistant elastic pad to prevent damage to the workpiece surface. An angle sensor is installed at the hinge point of the linkage arm 36 to monitor the clamping status in real time.

[0031] The lifting cylinder 3 and the clamping cylinder 33 are controlled by air circuit linkage to achieve synchronous lifting and clamping actions. This linkage control ensures that the actions of the lifting cylinder 3 and the clamping cylinder 33 are coordinated and consistent, thereby guaranteeing stable clamping and accurate feeding of the workpiece.

[0032] In practical applications, the drive motor of the feeding mechanism can receive signals from the control system and control the moving mold base 21 of the feeding seat 2 to move precisely horizontally according to the requirements of the forging process. At the same time, the lifting cylinder 3 and the clamping cylinder 33 perform synchronous lifting actions according to the control signal, and the clamping block 37 clamps the workpiece and sends it into the forging furnace for heating or forming.

[0033] The forging furnace feeding mechanism of this invention enables simultaneous clamping and lifting of multiple workpieces, significantly improving feeding efficiency. Simultaneously, the design of the movable mold base 21 allows the feeding seat 2 to move horizontally on the reinforced top frame 13, facilitating feeding workpieces at different positions. Furthermore, the high-temperature resistant elastic pad on the inner side of the clamping block 37 effectively prevents workpiece surface damage, ensuring workpiece quality. The installation of an angle sensor allows for real-time monitoring of the clamping status, further improving feeding accuracy and safety. This invention boasts advantages such as simple structure, convenient operation, high feeding efficiency, and good workpiece quality, making it widely applicable in various forging production lines.
