Description

A type of I-beam wheel turning mechanism Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steel cord production, specifically to an I-beam reversing mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of science and technology in my country, the demand for automation in traditional industries is increasing. Many large factories that produce steel cord or tire bead wire are increasingly in need of using automated products to reduce the pressure on workers.

[0003] Previously, in steel cord production, empty I-beam spools needed to be stored and used later. Before automation was widespread, the spools had to be manually rolled to the work site, which easily damaged the outer edge of the spools and negatively affected the overall product appearance. With the popularization of automation, cylindrical conveyor tables are now commonly used to transport the I-beam spools vertically on the conveyor table to the designated position. However, after reaching the designated position, the spools still need to be manually flipped and laid flat before further operations, requiring operators to still perform heavy physical labor.

[0004] To address the above issues, a mechanism for flipping I-beams is needed to change the vertical placement of the I-beams to a horizontal placement for transfer. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention provides an I-beam wheel flipping mechanism, which involves placing the I-beam wheel vertically on a cylindrical conveyor for transport. When the wheel reaches a designated position, a flipping platform flips the wheel and moves it a short distance to a convenient operating position, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0006] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] This utility model is disclosed.

[0008] A type of I-beam wheel tilting mechanism, comprising,

[0009] A cylindrical conveyor table includes multiple parallel rollers, with both ends of each roller rotatably connected to a support.

[0010] A tilting table is set at a side position of the cylindrical conveyor table. An L-shaped tilting frame is rotatably connected to the tilting table. The tilting frame is driven by a drive device A and can perform a 90° tilting motion in the vertical plane toward the cylindrical conveyor table.

[0011] The L-shaped structure of the flipping frame includes a vertical arm connected to the drive device A and a horizontal arm for supporting the I-beam wheel. During the flipping process, the horizontal arm lifts the I-beam wheel on the roller and flips it 90° in the vertical plane.

[0012] Furthermore, the horizontal arm includes multiple spaced support rods, and the bracket near the tilting table has multiple notches, which are respectively located between the rollers. When the support rod is in a horizontal state, the support rod passes through the notches and rests between the rollers, and the upper surface of the support rod is lower than the upper surface of the roller.

[0013] Furthermore, a support plate is fixedly connected to the bracket, and the support plate is disposed between the rollers. When the support rod is in a horizontal state, its free end rests on the support plate.

[0014] Furthermore, the drive device A is a cylinder, with its tail end hinged to the tilting table and its guide rod end hinged to the back side of the vertical arm.

[0015] Furthermore, a support plate is slidably connected to the horizontal arm. The support plate carries the I-beams that slide down to the vertical arm when the horizontal arm is flipped. The support plate is driven by the drive device B to transport the I-beams carried from one end of the horizontal arm to the other end.

[0016] Furthermore, the bearing surface of the pallet is arc-shaped.

[0017] Furthermore, the driving device B is a cylinder, the tail end of which is hinged and fixed to the end of the vertical arm away from the horizontal arm, the guide rod end is fixedly connected to the support plate, the bottom of the support plate is provided with a guide hole, a guide post is sleeved in the guide hole, and the guide post is arranged along the length direction of the vertical arm.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0019] By setting a tilting table on one side of the cylindrical conveyor, and using drive device A to drive the tilting frame to lift and tilt the I-beam wheel, the overall structure is relatively simple, the cost is low, and it is easy to maintain.

[0020] By setting multiple support rods with a horizontal arm and setting multiple notches on the bracket, the support rods can be placed under the I-beams for lifting by passing through the notches, which makes lifting the I-beams more convenient.

[0021] By setting a support plate, the horizontal arm is supported when it is horizontal and can be rotated and limited at the same time.

[0022] By setting the pallet to an arc shape, it is possible to prevent the I-beam roller from rolling off the pallet when the pallet supports it. Attached Figure Description

[0027] The accompanying drawings are provided to further understand the present invention and form part of the specification. They are used together with the embodiments of the present invention to explain the invention and do not constitute a limitation thereof.

[0028] As shown in Figures 1-4

[0029] A type of I-beam wheel tilting mechanism, comprising,

[0030] The cylindrical conveyor table 10 includes a plurality of parallel rollers 101, the two ends of which are rotatably connected to the support 102.

[0031] A tilting table 20 is set at a lateral work position of the cylindrical conveyor table 10. An L-shaped tilting frame 201 is rotatably connected to the tilting table 20. The tilting frame 201 is driven by a driving device A202 and can perform a 90° tilting motion in the vertical plane toward the cylindrical conveyor table 10.

[0032] The L-shaped structure of the flipping frame 201 includes a vertical arm 2011 connected to the drive device A202 and a horizontal arm 2012 for supporting the I-beam wheel. During the flipping process, the horizontal arm 2012 lifts the I-beam wheel on the roller 101 and flips it 90° in the vertical plane.

[0033] Specifically, the tilting frame 201 is rotatably connected to the bearing of the tilting table 20 at the right angle by a tilting shaft.

[0034] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the horizontal arm 2012 being lifted under the I-beam when horizontal, the horizontal arm 2012 includes multiple spaced support rods 20121. The bracket 102 near the tilting table 20 is provided with multiple notches, which are respectively located between the rollers 101. When the support rods 20121 are in a horizontal state, the support rods 20121 pass through the notches and rest between the rollers 101, and the upper surface of the support rods 20121 is lower than the upper surface of the rollers 101.

[0035] Furthermore, to prevent the horizontal arm 2012 from pulling the drive device A due to its own weight when it is horizontal after the tilting frame 201 is tilted, a support plate 1021 is fixedly connected to the bracket 102. The support plate 1021 is arranged between the rollers 101. When the support rod 20121 is in a horizontal state, its free end rests on the support plate 1021.

[0036] Furthermore, the driving device A202 is a cylinder, with its tail end hinged to the tilting table 20 and its guide rod end hinged to the back of the vertical arm 2011. This configuration is simpler and more convenient for the tilting frame 201 to tilt.

[0037] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the transport of the flipped I-beams, a pallet 2021 is slidably connected to the horizontal arm 2011. The pallet 2021 carries the I-beams that slide down to the vertical arm 2011 when the horizontal arm 2012 is flipped. The pallet 2021 is driven by the drive device B203 to transport the I-beams carried from one end of the horizontal arm 2012 to the other end.

[0038] Furthermore, to prevent the I-beams from rolling off the pallet 2021, the bearing surface of the pallet 2021 is arc-shaped.

[0039] Furthermore, in order to better pull the I-beam wheel to move and displace, the drive device B203 is a cylinder, the tail end of which is hinged and fixed to the end of the vertical arm 2011 away from the horizontal arm 2012, and the guide rod end is fixedly connected to the support plate 2021. The bottom of the support plate 2021 is provided with a guide hole 20211, and a guide post 20212 is sleeved in the guide hole 20211. The guide post 20212 is arranged along the length direction of the vertical arm 2011.

[0040] In practical use, the I-beam is placed vertically at one end on the cylindrical conveyor table 10. As the roller rolls to the tilting table 20, the I-beam above the tilting frame 201 retracts with the guide rod of the drive device A202. During the tilting process, the horizontal arm 2012 lifts the I-beam and changes it from vertical to horizontal. The I-beam slides onto the support plate 2021 on the vertical arm 2011. As the guide rod of the drive device B retracts, the support plate 2021 carries the I-beam along the guide column 20212 to the designated position. This eliminates the need for manual tilting, saving time and effort and improving work efficiency.

[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
