Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steel plate alignment technology, and in particular to a plate alignment device and a steel plate conveying device. Background Technology

[0002] Since steel plates are prone to shifting when transported from trucks to the conveying device, affecting the stability of the conveying process, centering equipment is needed to adjust the orientation of the steel plates to ensure that the center line of the steel plates coincides with the center line of the processing equipment, thereby improving processing accuracy and efficiency.

[0003] In the existing technology, a lead screw drives a pair of guide rollers to move closer or further apart, and the steel plate is squeezed and centered between the guide rollers, so that the steel plate can move to the middle of the conveying device, avoiding the problem of the steel plate's position shifting and affecting the steel plate's transmission.

[0004] However, in the above scheme, since the guide roller is driven by a lead screw to center the steel plate, when the guide roller and the steel plate are pressed and contacted, the lead screw is suddenly impacted by the contact of the guide roller. Since the lead screw is sensitive to impact load, the sudden impact may cause the lead screw to deform or be damaged, affecting the centering operation of the guide roller on the steel plate.

[0005] Therefore, this application aims to improve the transmission stability of the roller alignment and reduce the impact of sudden impacts on the transmission. Utility Model Content

[0006] The main purpose of this invention is to provide a plate alignment device and a steel plate conveying device, which aims to optimize the transmission structure and reduce the impact of sudden impact on transmission accuracy when the plates are aligned.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes a plate alignment device, comprising:

[0008] Main beam;

[0009] A flexible component is reciprocated along a predetermined trajectory on the main beam;

[0010] A pair of guide members are respectively placed at both ends of the main beam, and each guide member includes:

[0011] Guide seat, connected to the flexible member;

[0012] A guide post is connected to one side of the guide seat;

[0013] The guide seats of the pair of guide members are respectively connected to the two ends of the flexible member and to different transmission paths of the flexible member.

[0014] Furthermore, gaps are provided on different transmission paths at both ends of the flexible member, and the guide seat fills and connects to the gaps in the flexible member.

[0015] Furthermore, the guide seat includes a pair of side plates and rollers. The pair of side plates are respectively connected to both ends of the notch of the flexible member, and the rollers are disposed between the pair of side plates and connected to the main beam.

[0016] Furthermore, at least one of the guide seats is provided with an adjustment mechanism, which is capable of tensioning the flexible member.

[0017] Furthermore, the adjustment mechanism includes a threaded rod connected between the pair of side plates.

[0018] Furthermore, an elastic element is provided at the connection between the flexible element and the side plate.

[0019] Furthermore, the main beam includes a first guide rail and a second guide rail connected to each other. The second guide rail is parallel to the transmission direction of the flexible member, and the plate surface of the first guide rail is perpendicular to the plate surface of the second guide rail. The first guide rail carries the roller, and the second guide rail carries part of the flexible member.

[0020] Furthermore, the guide seat is provided with a blocking member along one or both sides of the first guide rail. The blocking member is foldable and unfolds to block the first guide rail when a pair of guide seats approach each other.

[0021] Furthermore, the pair of side plates are slidably placed on the second guide rail.

[0022] This application discloses a steel plate conveying device, which is equipped with the aforementioned plate alignment equipment.

[0023] The above technical solution has the following advantages:

[0024] This utility model adopts a combination design of flexible component and guide seat. The flexible component drives the guide seat to move along the track, so that the guide columns on both sides center and guide the plate. The elastic buffering characteristics of the flexible component effectively absorb the impact force, reduce transmission error, ensure centering accuracy, avoid the breakage or jamming caused by sudden collision of the lead screw, extend the service life of the equipment, and improve the overall operational stability.

[0025] The adjustment mechanism precisely controls the tightness of the flexible component through the tensioning action of the threaded rod, further optimizing the alignment effect of the guide column and ensuring high-precision alignment under different working conditions, thereby improving the adaptability and reliability of the equipment. The combination of the elastic component and the side plate effectively mitigates displacement deviations caused by vibration, enhances the device's anti-interference capability, and absorbs the impact force generated by the collision between the guide column and the plate, reducing the risk of plate damage.

[0033] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the following specific embodiments are only used to explain this utility model and do not constitute a limitation on this utility model.

[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a plate alignment device includes a main beam 1, a flexible member 2, and a pair of guide members 3. The flexible member 2 is reciprocated along a predetermined trajectory on the main beam 1. The pair of guide members 3 are respectively placed at both ends of the main beam 1. Each guide member 3 includes a guide seat 31 and a guide post 32. The guide seat 31 is connected to the flexible member 2. The guide post 32 is connected to one side of the guide seat 31. The guide seats 31 of the pair of guide members 3 are respectively connected to both ends of the flexible member 2 and connected to different transmission paths of the flexible member 2. The main beam 1 is used to support and install the flexible component 2. Different transmission paths refer to the different directions in which the flexible component 2 is transported, namely the upper half and the lower half of the flexible component 2. Two guide seats 31 are respectively installed on the upper half and the lower half of the flexible component 2, so that the two guide seats 31 move in different directions, either towards each other or away from each other. The flexible component 2 rotates forward and backward on the main beam 1 according to a predetermined trajectory, driving the two guide components 3 to move closer or further away from each other, and moving the plate towards the center in sequence. The position of the guide component 3 can also be adjusted by the flexible component 2 on the roller conveyor of the plate. During the plate conveying process, it plays a limiting role on both sides of the plate to prevent the plate from deviating during the conveying process.

[0035] Specifically, the guide column 32 adopts a bearing structure. The outer ring contacts the plate to press and move the plate towards the center of the main beam 1. The inner ring is fixed to the guide seat 31 and moves back and forth on the main beam 1 along with the guide seat 31. The transmission path of the flexible component 2 is divided into upper and lower parts. The guide seats 31 are respectively installed in the upper and lower parts of the flexible component 2 and are symmetrically arranged about the center of the main beam 1. As one example, when the flexible component 2 is in the forward rotation state, it drives the guide seats 31 on both sides to move closer to each other and drives the guide column 32 to press the plate, so that the plate is centered. When the flexible component 2 is in the reverse rotation state, it drives the guide seats 31 on both sides to move away from each other, so that the guide column 32 is away from the plate, ensuring the subsequent working state. If the plate is being transported, the guide columns 32 on both sides can also be adjusted by the flexible component 2 to guide the plate transport process. The flexible component 2 itself has a partial buffering effect, which can effectively prevent the lead screw from being damaged due to sudden collision.

[0036] The flexible component 2 can be driven by belt, chain, or rope, etc., and the specific method can be selected according to the knowledge of those skilled in the art. In this application, chain drive is preferred, and the specific solution is as follows:

[0037] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the two guide seats 31 are directly installed at both ends of the belt, chain, or rope at different heights. When the transmission is in one direction via the belt, chain, or rope, the two guide seats 31 move closer to each other. When the transmission is in the other direction, the two guide seats 31 move away from each other to ensure synchronization of alignment. In addition, gaps are provided on the different transmission paths at both ends of the flexible member 2. The guide seats 31 fill and connect to the gaps of the flexible member 2. The guide seats 31 slide with the main beam 1. The guide seats 31 can serve as additional support points to help distribute the load on the flexible member 2, thereby improving the load-bearing capacity of the flexible member 2 and more accurately controlling the running trajectory of the flexible member 2. The flexible member 2 absorbs some vibration energy during operation, thereby reducing the noise level of the overall transmission system.

[0038] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the guide seat 31 can be directly installed at the notch of the flexible member 2 using a fixed frame, as long as the frame can provide a support point; preferably, the guide seat 31 includes a pair of side plates 311 and rollers 312. The pair of side plates 311 are respectively connected to both ends of the notch of the flexible member 2, and the rollers 312 are disposed between the pair of side plates 311 and connected to the main beam 1. The two side plates 311 are respectively installed at the ends corresponding to the notches of the flexible member 2, and the rollers 312 are assembled between the two side plates 311. The guide wheels are symmetrically distributed relative to the main beam 1, so that the guide wheels roll and rub against the main beam 1 to reduce friction.

[0039] Specifically, one pair of side plates 311 are placed in the lower half of the flexible member 2, and the other pair of side plates 311 are placed in the upper half of the flexible member 2. The pair of side plates 311 in the upper half are horizontally arranged and extend at both ends to be connected to the frame where the roller 312 is located. The pair of side plates 311 in the lower half are U-shaped, with the middle part avoiding the flexible member 2 in the upper half, and the two ends extending from both sides of the flexible member 2 in the upper half and connected to the frame where its roller 312 is located.

[0040] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the main beam 1 includes a first guide rail 11 and a second guide rail 12 connected to each other. The second guide rail 12 is parallel to the transmission direction of the flexible member 2, and the plate surface of the first guide rail 11 is perpendicular to the plate surface of the second guide rail 12. The first guide rail 11 carries the roller 312, and the second guide rail 12 carries part of the flexible member 2. The second guide rail 12 is located on different transmission paths of the flexible member 2, that is, the second guide rail 12 is divided into upper and lower parts, which can respectively contact the upper and lower parts of the corresponding flexible member 2. The flexible member 2 located in the upper part is affected by gravity. The guide seat 31 rests on the upper half of the second guide rail 12 to guide and support the flexible member 2. At the same time, the guide seat 31 of the upper half also rests on the upper half of the second guide rail 12 to improve its support capacity. The middle part of the side plate 311 of the lower half rests on the lower half of the second guide rail 12 and slides along the lower half of the second guide rail 12. Both ends of the side plate 311 are connected to rollers 312 with frames. The rollers 312 roll on the groove of the first guide rail 11 to ensure the stability of the guide seat 31 adjustment.

[0041] like Figure 4 As shown, at least one guide seat 31 is provided with an adjustment mechanism, which can tension the flexible member 2. The adjustment mechanism can be provided on one guide seat 31 or on two guide seats 31, depending on the length of the flexible member 2. In this application, it is preferred to provide an adjustment mechanism on only a single guide seat 31, as follows:

[0042] like Figure 4As shown, to ensure the tensioning effect of the flexible member 2, the adjustment mechanism is adjusted by a combination of ratchet and ratchet teeth, or by a tensioning wheel and rope, to adjust the distance between the two side plates 311. Preferably, the adjustment mechanism includes a threaded rod 314 connected between the pair of side plates 311. The threaded rod 314 is threaded between the two side plates 311. By rotating the threaded rod 314, the threaded rod 314 tensions the pair of side plates 311, thereby tensioning the flexible member 2 and ensuring that the flexible member 2 can maintain a tensioned state. In this application, the adjustment mechanism is set at the guide seat 31, which improves the simplification of the structure.

[0043] Specifically, an elastic element 313 is provided at the connection between the flexible component 2 and the side plate 311. One end of the flexible component 2 is mounted on the side plate 311 via a guide rod, and the elastic element 313 is sleeved on the outside of the guide rod. This allows the elastic element 313 to sense changes in chain tension in real time and adjust automatically. The elastic element 313 can be a spring, disc spring, etc. When the guide post 32 contacts and collides with the plate, the elastic element 313 provides elastic force to ensure that the flexible component 2 can have a buffering effect upon contact, minimizing the impact loss of the guide seat 31 on the flexible component 2 and avoiding the use of the original lead screw structure. The elastic force of the elastic element 313 can be adjusted according to actual needs to ensure that the flexible component 2 maintains optimal tension under different working conditions, extending its service life. The design of the adjustment mechanism not only simplifies the structure but also improves adjustment efficiency and accuracy, making the entire device more stable and reliable during operation.

[0044] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the guide seat 31 is provided with a blocking element 4 along one or both sides of the first guide rail 11. The blocking element 4 is foldable, and when a pair of guide seats 31 approach each other, the blocking element 4 unfolds and covers the first guide rail 11. The blocking element 4 can cover the groove of the first guide rail 11 to prevent foreign objects from entering and ensure smooth sliding of the guide seat 31. At the same time, the design of the blocking element 4 allows it to be folded and stored when not in use, saving space and improving the compactness and aesthetics of the overall device. The blocking element 4 can adopt a accordion cover, chain-type protective curtain, or other structures. The material and form can be selected according to actual needs to ensure effective protection in different environments. The folding and unfolding mechanism of the blocking element 4 is ingeniously designed and easy to operate, further improving the practicality of the device and the user experience. The blocking element 4 of this application is preferably installed on both sides of the guide seat 31 and connected by hinges. When the guide seat 31 is centered on the main beam 1, the blocking element 4 automatically unfolds to cover the guide rail to ensure safety; when the guide seat 31 moves to the edge, the blocking element 4 folds up for easy operation and optimized space utilization. In addition, the surface of the blocking component 4 is coated with a wear-resistant coating to enhance its durability and meet the needs of frequent folding and unfolding.

[0045] like Figure 4 andFigure 5 As shown, this application increases the width of the flexible member 2, which increases the contact area between the chain and the sprocket, thereby allowing the chain to better distribute tension during operation. By increasing the contact area, chain wear is effectively reduced, service life is extended, transmission efficiency is improved, the device remains stable even at high speeds, maintenance frequency is reduced, and operating costs are lowered.

[0046] Guide wheels 51 are installed at both ends of the main beam 1. The guide wheels 51 are selected according to the different flexible components 2 used. For example, in this application, the flexible component 2 is a chain, so the guide wheels 51 are sprockets. The sprocket is rotated at one end of the main beam 1, and a drive component 5 is installed at one end of the main beam 1. The drive component 5 drives the sprocket to rotate, realizing the cyclic movement of the chain. The drive component 5 uses a high-efficiency motor, such as a servo motor, to ensure stable power output and reduce energy consumption. The precise matching between the sprocket and the chain further optimizes transmission efficiency, reduces noise, improves overall operational stability, extends equipment service life, and reduces maintenance costs.

[0047] A steel plate conveying device, equipped with the aforementioned plate alignment equipment, ensures a smooth transition of the steel plate during its transport from a truck to the production line through precise alignment guidance. This prevents directional shifts caused by vibration during transport, improving conveying efficiency, reducing downtime for adjustments due to misalignment, ensuring production line continuity and stability, lowering manual intervention costs, enhancing overall operational safety, and facilitating storage in different warehouses and easy retrieval. The device is also equipped with an intelligent monitoring system that monitors the steel plate's position and status in real time, automatically adjusting alignment parameters to ensure accuracy. The system records operational data for later analysis and optimization, further enhancing the device's intelligence level and achieving efficient, precise, and automated production, creating greater value for enterprises.

All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
