Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of metal material processing equipment technology, specifically a steel coil unloading rack. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, steel coil unloading racks are common equipment in steel processing, warehousing and logistics. Traditional unloading racks typically consist of a support base, V-shaped support arms or saddles, and their main function is to stably store steel coils and facilitate their traction by equipment such as uncoilers.
[0003] Although existing steel coil unloading racks can store steel coils, manual intervention is required when transferring the stored steel coils to the uncoiler, and the stability of the steel coil placement needs to be improved. To solve the above problems, a new steel coil unloading rack is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this application provides a steel coil unloading rack that, while ensuring stable placement of steel coils of different sizes, achieves a more automated steel coil transfer function, thus solving the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: a steel coil unloading rack, comprising an uncoiler body, an uncoiling assembly, a transfer assembly, and an unloading assembly. The transfer assembly includes a movable transfer base mounted on one side of the uncoiler body. The unloading assembly includes a hydraulic assembly fixedly connected to the upper surface of the transfer base. A V-shaped support plate is fixedly connected to the output end of the hydraulic assembly. Brackets are fixedly connected to both sides of the V-shaped support plate. A U-shaped frame is rotatably fitted on the inner wall of each bracket. A worm gear is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft end of each U-shaped frame. A worm and a second servo motor are installed on one side of each bracket. The worm meshes with the worm gear. The output shaft end of the second servo motor is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft end of the worm. Two movable sleeve blocks are installed inside each U-shaped frame. A positioning arm is fixedly connected to the outer surface of each sleeve block.
[0006] The above solution utilizes a transfer assembly to automatically transfer the unloading assembly carrying the steel coil to the uncoiling position, significantly reducing manual intervention. Simultaneously, the unloading assembly uses a second servo motor to drive a worm gear, which in turn rotates the worm wheel, controlling the angles of the four positioning arms to adapt to the needs of transfer and positioning. A third servo motor drives a bidirectional lead screw, causing the positioning arms to move synchronously in opposite directions, achieving adaptive clamping and positioning for steel coils of different sizes. The hydraulic assembly provides the necessary lifting and adjustment capabilities for the V-shaped pallet, facilitating the automatic transfer of the steel coil. Ultimately, while ensuring stable placement, the solution achieves automated and precise transfer of the steel coil from the unloading rack to the uncoiling assembly, making it more practical.
[0007] Furthermore, a fixing plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of one side of the uncoiler body, and a first servo motor is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the fixing plate. The output shaft end of the first servo motor passes through the fixing plate and is fixedly connected to a one-way lead screw.
[0008] With the above solution, when the first servo motor starts, it can drive the unidirectional lead screw to rotate, which in turn can drive other components to move.
[0009] Furthermore, one end of the one-way lead screw is rotatably sleeved on the inner wall of the uncoiler body, and the transfer base is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the one-way lead screw.
[0010] With the above scheme, when the unidirectional lead screw rotates, it will drive the transfer base to move.
[0011] Furthermore, two grooves are provided on the bottom of one side of the uncoiler body, and two sliders are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the transfer base. The two sliders are respectively slidably sleeved on the inner walls of the two grooves.
[0012] The above scheme, through the cooperation of the slide and the slider, allows the transfer base to move linearly along the slide when the unidirectional screw rotates, which is beneficial for the automatic transfer of steel coils.
[0013] Furthermore, a third servo motor is fixedly connected to the inner wall of each U-shaped frame, and a bidirectional lead screw is fixedly connected to the output end of each third servo motor. The other end of the bidirectional lead screw is rotatably sleeved on the inner wall of the corresponding U-shaped frame.
[0014] With the above solution, when the third servo motor starts, it can drive the corresponding bidirectional lead screw to rotate in the inner wall of the corresponding U-shaped frame, which is convenient to use.
[0015] Furthermore, each of the U-shaped frames has two guide rods installed on its inner wall, and the four sleeve blocks are respectively threaded to both sides of the two bidirectional lead screws, with the two sides of the four sleeve blocks slidably sleeved on the outer surfaces of the four guide rods.
[0016] The above scheme allows the guide rod to limit the movement trajectory of the sleeve blocks. When the bidirectional lead screw rotates, it can drive the two corresponding sleeve blocks to move closer to or further away from each other.
[0017] Furthermore, each of the guide rods has a limiting piece fixedly connected to both ends, and an anti-slip pad is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the V-shaped support plate.
[0018] The above scheme limits the movement trajectory of the sleeve block by setting the limiting plate, which is beneficial to the stable storage and convenient transfer of steel coils. The anti-slip pad increases the friction between the steel coil and the upper surface of the V-shaped pallet, thereby improving the stability of the stored steel coil.
[0019] Furthermore, the uncoiling assembly is installed on one side of the uncoiler body, and a main controller is installed on the outer surface of the uncoiler body. The electrical components inside the uncoiler body, the uncoiling assembly, the transfer assembly, and the feeding assembly are all electrically connected to the main controller.
[0020] The above scheme allows for convenient control of the internal electrical components of the uncoiler body, uncoiler assembly, transfer assembly, and unloading assembly via a central controller, which facilitates the realization of automated control functions and makes the system easy to use.
[0021] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects:
[0022] This steel coil unloading rack uses a first servo motor to drive a unidirectional lead screw, which in turn moves a threaded transfer base along a slide groove and is guided by a slider to move stably. This automatically transfers the unloading assembly carrying the steel coil to the uncoiling position, significantly reducing manual intervention. Simultaneously, a second servo motor drives a worm gear to rotate the unloading assembly, controlling the angles of four positioning arms to adapt to transfer and positioning needs. A third servo motor drives a bidirectional lead screw, causing the positioning arms to move synchronously in opposite directions, achieving adaptive clamping and positioning for steel coils of different sizes. Combined with a V-shaped pallet and its anti-slip pads, this greatly improves the stability and safety of the steel coil during storage, transfer, and uncoiling preparation. The hydraulic assembly provides the necessary lifting and adjustment capabilities for the V-shaped pallet, facilitating the automatic transfer of the steel coil. All actions are coordinated and controlled by a central controller, ultimately achieving automated and precise transfer of the steel coil from the unloading rack to the uncoiling assembly while ensuring stable placement, making it more practical.

[0030] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0031] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 This embodiment of a steel coil unloading rack includes an uncoiler body 1, an uncoiler assembly 2, a transfer assembly 3, and an unloading assembly 4. The transfer assembly 3 includes a transfer base 304 that is movable and installed on one side of the uncoiler body 1. A fixing plate 301 is fixedly connected to the bottom of one side of the uncoiler body 1. A first servo motor 302 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the fixing plate 301. The output shaft end of the first servo motor 302 passes through the fixing plate 301 and is fixedly connected to a one-way lead screw 303. When the first servo motor 302 is started, it can drive the one-way lead screw 303 to rotate, thereby driving other components to move. One end of the one-way lead screw 303 is rotatably sleeved on the inner wall of the uncoiler body 1. The transfer base 304 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the one-way lead screw 303. When the one-way lead screw 303 rotates, it will drive the transfer base 304 to move.
[0032] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4Two grooves 305 are provided on the bottom of one side of the uncoiler body 1. Two sliders 306 are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the transfer base 304. The two sliders 306 are slidably sleeved on the inner walls of the two grooves 305. Through the cooperation of the grooves 305 and the sliders 306, when the one-way screw 303 rotates, it can drive the transfer base 304 to move linearly along the grooves 305, which is beneficial to the automatic transfer of steel coils. The feeding component 4 includes a hydraulic component 401 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the transfer base 304. A V-shaped support plate 402 is fixedly connected to the output end of the hydraulic component 401. A bracket 403 is fixedly connected to both sides of the V-shaped support plate 402. A U-shaped frame 404 is rotatably sleeved on the inner wall of each bracket 403. Each U-shaped frame 404 is rotatably sleeved on the inner wall of the bracket 403. Each frame 404 has a worm gear 405 fixedly connected to its rotating shaft end. Each bracket 403 has a worm 406 and a second servo motor 407 installed on one side. The worm 406 meshes with the worm gear 405. The output shaft end of the second servo motor 407 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft end of the worm 406. When the second servo motor 407 starts, it can drive the worm 406 to rotate. The rotation of the worm 406 can drive the worm gear 405 to drive the U-shaped frame 404 to rotate. The combination of the worm 406 and the worm gear 405 has a self-locking effect, thereby optimizing the stability of the steel coil during actual storage. Each U-shaped frame 404 has two movable sleeve blocks 410 installed inside. Each sleeve block 410 has a positioning arm 411 fixedly connected to its outer surface.
[0033] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 Each U-shaped frame 404 has a third servo motor 408 fixedly connected to its inner wall. The output end of each third servo motor 408 is fixedly connected to a bidirectional lead screw 409. The other end of the bidirectional lead screw 409 is rotatably sleeved on the inner wall of the corresponding U-shaped frame 404. When the third servo motor 408 is started, it can drive the corresponding bidirectional lead screw 409 to rotate in the inner wall of the corresponding U-shaped frame 404, which is convenient to use. Each U-shaped frame 404 has two guide rods 412 installed on its inner wall. Four sleeves 410 are threadedly connected to both sides of the two bidirectional lead screws 409. The two sides of the four sleeves 410 are slidably sleeved on the outer surface of the four guide rods 412. The guide rods 412 can limit the movement trajectory of the sleeves 410. When the bidirectional lead screw 409 rotates, it can drive the corresponding two sleeves 410 to move closer or further away from each other, thereby driving the positioning arm 411 to move synchronously. This is beneficial for the stable storage of steel coils and also facilitates the automatic transfer of steel coils.
[0034] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3Each guide rod 412 has a limiting piece 413 fixedly connected to both ends. The upper surface of the V-shaped pallet 402 is fixedly connected to an anti-slip pad 414. The limiting piece 413 can limit the movement trajectory of the sleeve block 410, which is beneficial to the stable storage and convenient transfer of steel coils. The anti-slip pad 414 can increase the friction between the steel coil and the upper surface of the V-shaped pallet 402, thereby improving the stability of the stored steel coil. The uncoiling assembly 2 is installed on one side of the uncoiler body 1. The main controller 5 is installed on the outer surface of the uncoiler body 1. The electrical components inside the uncoiler body 1, the uncoiling assembly 2, the transfer assembly 3 and the unloading assembly 4 are all electrically connected to the main controller 5. The main controller 5 can conveniently control the operation of the electrical components inside the uncoiler body 1, the uncoiling assembly 2, the transfer assembly 3 and the unloading assembly 4, which is beneficial to the realization of automated control functions and convenient to use.
[0035] In this embodiment, a steel coil unloading rack uses a first servo motor 302 to drive a unidirectional lead screw 303 to rotate, causing a threaded transfer base 304 to move stably along a slide groove 305 and guided by a slider 306. This automatically transfers the unloading assembly 4 carrying the steel coil to the uncoiling position, significantly reducing manual intervention. Simultaneously, the unloading assembly 4 uses a second servo motor 407 to drive a worm gear 406 to rotate a worm wheel 405, thereby controlling the angles of the four positioning arms 411 to adapt to the needs of transfer and positioning. A third servo motor 408 drives a bidirectional lead screw 409. The rotation drives the positioning arm 411 to move synchronously towards or away from each other, realizing adaptive clamping and positioning of steel coils of different sizes. Combined with the V-shaped pallet 402 and its surface anti-slip pad 414, the stability and safety of the steel coils during storage, transfer and uncoiling preparation are greatly improved. The hydraulic component 401 provides the necessary lifting and adjustment capabilities of the V-shaped pallet 402, which is beneficial to the automatic transfer of steel coils. All actions are coordinated and controlled by the main controller 5. Finally, under the premise of ensuring stable placement, the automatic and precise transfer function of steel coils from the unloading rack to the uncoiling component 2 is realized, making it more practical.
[0036] The working principle of the above embodiment is as follows: When it is necessary to transfer the steel coil from the unloading position to the uncoiling position, the main controller 5 starts the workflow. First, it controls the first servo motor 302 to drive the one-way lead screw 303 to rotate, so that the transfer base 304 can move stably in a straight line along the slide 305. This automatically transfers the entire unloading assembly 4, along with the steel coil it carries, mounted on the upper surface of the transfer base 304, to the uncoiling station near the uncoiling assembly 2. During the transfer process or after arriving at the station, in order to adapt to the uncoiling requirements and ensure the stability of the steel coil, the main controller 5 can control the second servo motor 407 to drive the worm gear 406 to rotate. The worm gear 406 meshes with the worm wheel 405 fixed at the shaft end of the U-shaped frame 404, causing the U-shaped frame 404 to rotate on the bracket 403 to a suitable angle, so that the four positioning arms 411 are obliquely clamped on the outside of the steel coil. At the same time, in order to accurately clamp and position the steel coil to adapt to different sizes, the main controller 5 controls the third servo motor 408. The bidirectional lead screw 409 is driven to rotate. When the bidirectional lead screw 409 rotates, the two sleeves 410 move synchronously towards or away from each other under the constraint of the guide rod 412. The positioning arm 411 fixed on the outer surface of the sleeve 410 moves synchronously, thereby realizing adaptive clamping or loosening of the outer circumference of the steel coil, ensuring its stable storage on the V-shaped pallet 402. The V-shaped pallet 402 can be raised and lowered by the hydraulic component 401. The anti-slip pad 414 on its surface further increases the friction with the steel coil, jointly ensuring the stability and safety of the steel coil in the entire process of storage, transfer and uncoiling preparation. Finally, under the unified and coordinated control of the main controller 5, through the automatic transfer of the transfer component 3, the angle adjustment of the feeding component 4, the adaptive clamping and positioning, and the synergistic effect of the stable support function, the automated and precise transfer and preparation process of the steel coil from the feeding component 4 to the uncoiling component 2 is realized, which significantly reduces manual intervention and improves work efficiency and safety.
