Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of storage technology for intermediate packing stopper rods, and in particular to a temporary storage structure for intermediate packing stopper rods. Background Technology

[0002] Tundish stopper rods, or simply stopper rods, are refractory material rods installed inside the tundish that control the opening and closing of the molten steel outlet and the flow rate of molten steel through lifting and displacement. However, before and after coating, to reduce the number of transfers, the tundish stopper rods to be coated need to be stacked near the coating equipment.

[0003] A Chinese patent (CN219075628U) discloses a stopper rod fixing and placement device. This device uses a first fixing block with orderly arranged first fixing holes to place the stopper rods. It works in conjunction with a push-out device at the rear and a lifting and lowering picking device at the front to facilitate material handling. However, this device has the following shortcomings: 1. Each fixing hole is equipped with an electric telescopic rod, which occupies a large amount of space when not in use; 2. An axial pushing and pulling method is required to pick up and place the stopper rods on the picking device, requiring a large operating space, which limits efficiency, especially in confined working environments.

[0004] To address this, we designed a temporary storage structure for intermediate packing stopper rods. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model discloses a temporary storage structure for intermediate packing stopper rods.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A temporary storage structure for intermediate package stopper rods includes a main support, which has multiple storage positions for accommodating intermediate package stopper rods. Vertical lifting mechanisms are installed on both sides of the main support. The structure also includes:

[0008] A horizontal drive mechanism is installed at the moving end of the vertical lifting mechanism, and the fixed end of the horizontal drive mechanism extends forward.

[0009] A fixed support frame is connected to the fixed ends of two horizontal drive mechanisms, and the fixed support frame is provided with multiple fixed slots corresponding to the storage positions;

[0010] A movable frame is installed on the moving end of the horizontal drive mechanism. The front end of the movable frame is provided with a movable support frame. The movable support frame is provided with multiple movable slots corresponding to the storage positions. The movable slots cooperate with the fixed slots to form a channel for taking out and putting in the intermediate package stopper rod.

[0011] A pushing mechanism is located at the rear of the movable frame. The pushing mechanism corresponds to a storage station and is used to push the intermediate package stopper rod in the storage station to the pick-up and put-away channel.

[0012] Furthermore, the movable frame is provided with guide grooves at both front ends, and the two ends of the fixed support frame are slidably fitted into the guide grooves to support the horizontal movement of the movable frame.

[0013] Furthermore, the cross-sectional shape of the fixed slot and the movable slot is semi-circular, U-shaped or V-shaped.

[0014] Furthermore, the pushing mechanism includes a mounting plate located at the rear end of the movable frame, and the front surface of the mounting plate is provided with a plurality of push rods corresponding one-to-one with the storage positions; the pushing mechanism also includes telescopic devices for driving the mounting plate to move back and forth, and two telescopic devices are provided, which are respectively installed on the rear sections of both sides of the movable frame.

[0015] Furthermore, the front end of the push rod is provided with a buffer push plate, and the front surface of the buffer push plate is provided with an elastic material layer.

[0016] Furthermore, the main support consists of three individual frames: front, middle, and rear. Each individual frame has multiple positioning holes, and the three coaxial positioning holes constitute a storage station. The top of the main support is provided with a reinforcing top plate, which is fixedly connected to the three individual frames.

[0017] Furthermore, the vertical lifting mechanism includes:

[0018] The lifting drive unit is vertically installed on the side of the central single frame;

[0019] Guide rails are vertically installed on the sides of the front and rear single-unit frames;

[0020] The lifting beam is connected to the lifting drive unit and slides along the guide rail. The front end of the lifting beam extends to the front of the front single frame.

[0021] Furthermore, the fixed end of the horizontal drive mechanism is integrated with the lifting beam, and the moving end of the horizontal drive mechanism is integrated with the movable frame.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0023] By using a movable frame to connect the pushing mechanism and the pick-and-place channel, and in conjunction with a vertical lifting mechanism, the pushing mechanism, movable frame, and pick-and-place channel can be located at the top or bottom of the main support when not in operation, thus reducing the space occupied.

[0024] By combining the telescopic device and horizontal drive mechanism in the pushing mechanism, as well as the coordinated operation of the movable frame and the fixed support frame, a pick-and-place channel with an open top is formed. Combined with the precise pushing of the pushing mechanism, the stopper rod can be stored and retrieved without manual axial pushing and pulling, reducing the operating space requirements. At the same time, it can also reduce the overall size of the pushing mechanism, movable frame and pick-and-place channel when not in operation, thus reducing the space occupied.

[0031] The present invention will be explained in detail through the following embodiments. The purpose of disclosing the present invention is to protect all technical improvements within the scope of the present invention.

[0032] Example 1, in conjunction with Appendix Figure 1-5A temporary storage structure for intermediate packing stopper rods, comprising:

[0033] Main support 1: Consists of three individual frames 11 (front, middle, and rear) aligned and connected via positioning holes 12 to form multiple storage stations. Each storage station consists of three coaxial positioning holes 12 for stable placement of the intermediate package stopper rod. A reinforcing top plate 13 is installed on the top of the main support 1 and fixedly connected to the three individual frames 11 to enhance the overall structural strength.

[0034] As needed, the positioning hole 12 on the rear single frame 11 can be designed as a stepped hole, with the rear section of the stepped hole cavity being a small-diameter section. Specifically, the diameter of the small-diameter section is smaller than the diameter of the intermediate packing stopper rod, which can prevent the intermediate packing stopper rod from falling off from the rear of the storage station. Furthermore, the diameter of the small-diameter section is larger than the diameter of the push rod 62 and the buffer push plate 64.

[0035] As needed, the bottom of the main support 1 may be provided with longitudinal foot beams arranged in front and behind, and the longitudinal foot beams are fixedly connected to the three individual frames 11 to enhance the overall structural strength.

[0036] Vertical lifting mechanism 2: The lifting drive unit 21 of the vertical lifting mechanism 2 is vertically installed on the side of the middle single frame 11, and guide rails 22 are installed on the sides of the front and rear single frames 11. The lifting beam 23 is connected to the lifting drive unit 21 and slides along the guide rail 22. Its front end extends to the front of the front single frame 11 to provide a lifting base for the horizontal drive mechanism 3.

[0037] Depending on the requirements, the lifting drive unit 21 can be a lead screw motor, a cylinder, or an electric telescopic rod.

[0038] Horizontal drive mechanism 3: The fixed end of the horizontal drive mechanism 3 is integrated with the lifting beam 23, and the moving end is connected to the movable frame 5. The movable frame 5 has a movable support frame 51 at its front end, on which a movable slot 52 is arranged. The fixed support frame 4 is connected through the fixed end of the horizontal drive mechanism 3, or in other words, the fixed support frame 4 is installed at the front end of the lifting beam 23. The fixed slot 41 of the fixed support frame 4 cooperates with the movable slot 52 to form a pick-and-place channel. The guide grooves 53 on both sides of the movable frame 5 slide and engage with the two ends of the fixed support frame 4 to ensure the stability of horizontal movement.

[0039] Depending on the requirements, the cross-sectional shape of the fixed slot 41 and the movable slot 52 is semi-circular, U-shaped or V-shaped.

[0040] Pushing mechanism 6: The two telescopic devices 63 of the pushing mechanism 6 are respectively installed on the rear sections of both sides of the movable frame 5. Mounting plates 61 are installed on their telescopic ends, and push rods 62 on the mounting plates 61 correspond one-to-one with the storage positions. A buffer push plate 64 is provided at the front end of the push rod 62, and its surface is covered with an elastic material layer to reduce the impact on the stopper rod during the pushing process. Preferably, the buffer push plate 64 is circular.

[0041] Depending on the requirements, the telescopic device 63 can be a cylinder or an electric telescopic rod, etc.

[0042] It should be noted that when the telescopic device 63 is extended to its maximum length, the distance between the push rod 62 and the movable support frame 51 is greater than the distance between the rear side of the main support 1 and the front side of the fixed support frame 4. When the telescopic device 63 is in the retracted state, the distance between the push rod 62 and the movable support frame 51 is less than the length of the main support 1 in the front-rear direction.

[0043] It should be noted that the structure of the horizontal drive mechanism 3 can be a modified structure of the vertical lifting mechanism 2, or other structures in the prior art, which will not be elaborated here.

[0044] When removing the intermediate package stopper: First, the lifting beam 23 is adjusted to the target height by the lifting drive unit 21; then, the movable frame 5 is moved forward horizontally by the horizontal drive mechanism 3. At this time, the fixed support frame 4 and the movable slot 52 move forward to form a pick-up and put-out channel. At the same time, the push rod 62 of the pushing mechanism 6 pushes the intermediate package stopper in the storage station to the pick-up and put-out channel under the joint action of the horizontal drive mechanism 3 and the telescopic device 63; then, the extension of the telescopic device 63 drives the mounting plate 61 and the push rod 62 to move backward and extend out of the storage station; finally, the lifting beam 23 is adjusted to a suitable height by the lifting drive unit 21.

[0045] When inserting the intermediate package stopper: First, the lifting beam 23 is adjusted to a suitable height by the lifting drive unit 21; then, the movable frame 5 is moved forward horizontally by the horizontal drive mechanism 3. At this time, the fixed support frame 4 and the movable slot 52 move forward to form a pick-up and put-in channel, where the intermediate package stopper to be inserted can be placed; then, the lifting beam 23 is adjusted to the target height by the lifting drive unit 21; finally, the movable frame 5 is moved backward horizontally by the horizontal drive mechanism 3. At this time, the fixed support frame 4 and the movable slot 52 move backward, and at the same time, the push rod 62 of the pushing mechanism 6, under the combined action of the extension of the telescopic device 63 and the horizontal drive mechanism 3, comes out from the storage position to make room for the intermediate package stopper, and the intermediate package stopper is pushed into the storage position.

[0046] It should be noted that after storing the intermediate package stopper, the uppermost or lowermost storage position of the main support 1 can be used to store the intermediate package stopper, which can be used to place the push rod 62, so that the telescopic device 63 is in a retracted state, thus minimizing the overall space occupied.
