Abstract
Description
An aluminum coil feeding device Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aluminum coil conveying equipment, and more specifically, to an aluminum coil feeding device. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, thin-width aluminum coils are used in the processing of semi-finished license plates. After the thin-width aluminum coils are installed on the uncoiler, they are driven to rotate and unfold into aluminum strips. The unfolded aluminum strips are then transported to the stamping equipment for stamping to obtain license plates of standard fixed size.
[0003] Currently, thin-width aluminum coils are typically transferred over long distances and over a wide area from the aluminum coil stacking area to the uncoiler using overhead cranes and lifting devices. During this long-distance transfer, the thin-width aluminum coils will shake for a long time, resulting in significant safety hazards during the loading process. The loading efficiency of aluminum coils in the license plate semi-finished product processing flow needs to be improved. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems mentioned in the background art and to propose an aluminum coil feeding device.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is:
[0006] An aluminum coil feeding device includes a track-mounted electric flatcar, hydraulic equipment, a support platform, a mounting rod, a U-shaped frame, a clamping assembly, and a limiting assembly.
[0007] The track-mounted electric flatcar slides along the ground rail.
[0008] The hydraulic equipment is mounted on a rail-mounted electric flatcar and connected to a support platform, and the support platform has a placement groove with the same width as the aluminum strip of the aluminum coil.
[0009] The mounting rods, which are L-shaped in shape, are symmetrically arranged on the support platform;
[0010] U-shaped frames are symmetrically arranged on the mounting rod;
[0011] The clamping components are symmetrically arranged on the U-shaped frame to clamp the end face of the aluminum coil;
[0012] Two sets of opposing limiting components are respectively set on the inner walls of the two U-shaped frames and roll in contact with the surface of the aluminum coil. The limiting components and the clamping components are spaced apart.
[0013] Furthermore, the clamping assembly includes telescopic components and clamping plates. The U-shaped frame is symmetrically provided with synchronously moving telescopic components, and the telescopic components are connected to the clamping plates.
[0014] The above solution uses a clamping assembly to effectively limit the position of the aluminum coil on the device.
[0015] Furthermore, the limiting component includes fixed rods, a rotating shaft, and a rotating roller. Several sets of fixed rods are equidistantly arranged along the height direction of the inner wall of the U-shaped frame, and are spaced apart from the clamping plate. A rotating shaft is rotatably connected between each set of fixed rods, and a rotating roller is arranged on the outer side of the rotating shaft to roll in contact with the surface of the aluminum coil.
[0016] The above solution can initially define the placement area of the aluminum coil by using a placement slot, a U-shaped frame, and a rotating roller.
[0017] Furthermore, the wall of the placement groove is provided with a rubber layer that contacts the aluminum coil.
[0018] The above solution can reduce the probability of wear between the aluminum coil and the placement groove during the placement process through the rubber layer.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0020] Compared to existing technologies, this device eliminates the need for long-distance, large-scale transfer of thin-width aluminum coils to the uncoiler for subsequent semi-finished license plate production. A track-mounted electric flatcar, coupled with clamping, limiting, and placement slots, provides stable control over the thin-width aluminum coils. During the transfer process with the track-mounted electric flatcar, the aluminum coils do not wobble, significantly improving safety during loading. The device can then directly and accurately connect to the uncoiler for loading. After loading, the aluminum coils can be quickly detached from the device by adjusting the height. The track-mounted electric flatcar then moves away from the uncoiler and back to the aluminum coil stacking area to await the next loading of thin-width aluminum coils. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model. The present utility model will be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:
[0027] As shown in Figures 1 to 3, an aluminum coil feeding device includes a track-mounted electric flatcar 1, a hydraulic device 2, a support platform 3, a mounting rod 4, a U-shaped frame 5, a clamping assembly, and a limiting assembly.
[0028] The track-type electric flatcar 1 slides with the ground rail (not shown in the figure).
[0029] The hydraulic equipment 2 is mounted on the rail-type electric flat car 1 and connected to the support platform 3, and the support platform 3 is provided with a placement groove 11 that is the same width as the aluminum strip of the aluminum coil.
[0030] The mounting rods 4, which are L-shaped in shape, are symmetrically arranged on the support platform 3;
[0031] U-shaped frames 5 are symmetrically arranged on mounting rods 4;
[0032] The clamping components are symmetrically arranged on the U-shaped frame 5 to clamp the end face of the aluminum coil;
[0033] Two sets of opposing limiting components are respectively set on the inner walls of the two U-shaped frames 5 and roll in contact with the surface of the aluminum coil. The limiting components and the clamping components are spaced apart.
[0034] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the clamping assembly includes a telescopic member 6 and a clamping plate 7. The telescopic members 6 are symmetrically arranged on the U-shaped frame 5 and move synchronously. The telescopic members 6 are connected to the clamping plate 7.
[0035] As shown in Figure 2, the limiting component includes a fixed rod 8, a rotating shaft 9, and a rotating roller 10. Several sets of fixed rods 8 are equidistantly arranged along the height direction of the inner wall of the U-shaped frame 5 and are spaced apart from the clamping plate 7. A rotating shaft 9 is rotatably connected between each set of fixed rods 8. A rotating roller 10 is arranged on the outer side of the rotating shaft 9 to roll in contact with the surface of the aluminum coil.
[0036] It should be noted that the rail-mounted electric flatcar 1, the hydraulic equipment 2, and the telescopic component 6 are all electrically connected to the controller, which is not shown in the figure.
[0037] The working process of this utility model:
[0038] First, the overhead crane drives the lifting device to move to a certain thin aluminum coil and lift it (the overhead crane is existing technology and will not be improved; at the same time, the overhead crane is equipped with a special rotating mechanism so that the aluminum coil can be rotated after it is lifted). Meanwhile, the controller controls the rail-mounted electric flatcar 1 to run under the aluminum coil being lifted (the rail-mounted electric flatcar 1 is existing technology and its working principle will not be described).
[0039] The overhead crane then drives the thin aluminum coil downwards (after hoisting, the overhead crane drives the aluminum coil to make small horizontal adjustments within a small range while rotating at the same time). This allows the thin aluminum coil to pass between the two U-shaped frames 5. At this time, the surface of the aluminum coil will contact the rotating roller 10 (it should be noted that the width of the aluminum strip and the number of turns of the aluminum coil required for the semi-finished license plate processing are determined). After the aluminum coil passes through the U-shaped frame 5 from top to bottom, it continues to move downwards. When the bottom end of the aluminum coil enters the placement groove and contacts the bottom of the placement groove, the aluminum coil stops descending. At this time, the position of the aluminum coil can be initially defined. Then, the controller controls the clamping component to work, which can effectively define the position of the aluminum coil. At this time, the aluminum coil is in an upright position. Then, the connection between the aluminum coil and the overhead crane can be released. Then, the lifting and lowering of the hydraulic cylinder can make the center hole of the aluminum coil and the center of the drive shaft of the uncoiler be on the same straight line.
[0040] The controller then controls the track-mounted electric flatcar 1 to move towards the uncoiler. During the entire movement, the position of the aluminum coil will not shift, thus greatly improving the safety of the loading and transfer process. The movement of the track-mounted electric flatcar 1 allows the drive shaft of the uncoiler to accurately pass through the center hole of the aluminum coil. The uncoiler then locks the inner hole of the aluminum coil (the process of locking the inner hole of the aluminum coil by the uncoiler is existing technology and will not be described). After locking, the controller first controls the clamping component to release the clamp on the end face of the aluminum coil. After the end face is released, the controller controls the hydraulic device 2 to retract, thereby separating the U-shaped frame 5 from the aluminum coil. Then, the controller controls the track-mounted electric flatcar 1 to maintain the current height and move horizontally away from the coil, thus completing the loading process of a thin-width aluminum coil.
[0041] Compared to existing technologies, this device eliminates the need for long-distance, large-scale transfer of thin-width aluminum coils to the uncoiler for subsequent semi-finished license plate production. The thin-width aluminum coils are stably contained by a track-mounted electric flatcar 1 equipped with clamping, limiting, and placement slots. During the transfer process with the track-mounted electric flatcar 1, the aluminum coils do not wobble, significantly improving safety during loading. Subsequently, the device can directly and accurately dock with the uncoiler for loading. After loading, the aluminum coils can be quickly detached from the device by adjusting the height. The track-mounted electric flatcar 1 then moves away from the uncoiler and back to the aluminum coil stacking area to await the next loading process for thin-width aluminum coils.
[0042] In other embodiments, a rubber layer that contacts the aluminum coil is provided on the wall of the placement groove; the rubber layer is not shown in the figure; this embodiment can reduce the probability of wear between the aluminum coil and the placement groove during placement by means of the rubber layer.
[0043] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The descriptions of the above embodiments and specifications are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
