Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a forging billet feeding device, belonging to the technical field of forging production equipment. Background Technology
[0002] In the production of roller bearing rings, round steel is first sawn into billet segments, which are then heated to forging temperature. The heated, high-temperature billets are then sent to a ring rolling mill for forging. During this process, operators must manually clamp the high-temperature billets from the furnace outlet onto the forging anvil of the forging press for forging. Because there is a distance between the furnace outlet and the forging press, relying on manual clamping and transport of the high-temperature billets presents problems of high labor intensity, significant safety hazards, and low efficiency.
[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an automatic feeding device for forging billets to improve feeding efficiency, reduce the labor intensity of workers, and eliminate safety hazards. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings and provide an automatic feeding device for forging billets, which improves feeding efficiency, reduces the labor intensity of workers, and eliminates safety hazards.
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is achieved as follows:
[0006] A billet feeding device is installed between a heating furnace and the anvil of a forging press, comprising a horizontal conveyor, a lifting conveyor, and a receiving box arranged in sequence.
[0007] One side of the horizontal conveyor is connected to the outlet of the heating furnace via a receiving plate, which facilitates the entry of the billet from the outlet of the heating furnace into the horizontal conveyor. A baffle is installed on the other side to prevent the billet from falling.
[0008] The feed end of the lifting conveyor corresponds to the discharge end of the horizontal conveyor. Guide plates are set on both sides of the feed end of the lifting conveyor to guide the billet conveyed by the horizontal conveyor into the lifting conveyor.
[0009] The receiving box is located between the discharge end of the lifting conveyor and the anvil. A buffer mechanism is provided at the bottom of the receiving box to reduce the impact and noise when the billet falls.
[0010] Furthermore, the horizontal conveyor is connected to multiple parallel heating furnaces.
[0011] Furthermore, the horizontal conveyor and the lifting conveyor are chain conveyors or chain plate conveyors.
[0012] Furthermore, the conveyor chain of the chain conveyor is a double-row chain.
[0013] Furthermore, the buffer mechanism includes a support plate and a shock-absorbing spring connecting the bottom surface of the support plate and the bottom of the receiving box.
[0014] Furthermore, the projections of the conveying axes of the horizontal conveyor and the lifting conveyor onto the horizontal plane are not in a straight line, and the included angle between them is not less than 150°.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0016] This invention uses a horizontal conveyor to collect and transport the high-temperature billet heated in the furnace to a lifting conveyor. The lifting conveyor then transports the high-temperature billet to a receiving box located next to the anvil of the forging press. A buffer mechanism inside the receiving box buffers the material, thus automating the transportation of the high-temperature billet. This replaces manual transportation, improves feeding efficiency, reduces the labor intensity of workers, and eliminates safety hazards. Attached Figure Description

[0022] See Figures 1-3 The present invention relates to a forging billet feeding device, which is set between a heating furnace 1 and an anvil 2 of a forging press, and includes a horizontal conveyor 3, a lifting conveyor 4 and a receiving box 5 arranged in sequence.
[0023] One side of the horizontal conveyor 3 is connected to the outlet of the heating furnace 1 via a receiving plate 6, facilitating the entry of billets from the outlet of the heating furnace 1 into the horizontal conveyor 3. A baffle is installed on the other side to prevent billets from falling. The receiving plate 6 has a bent-end structure, connecting the heating furnace 1 and the horizontal conveyor 3 respectively. Billets discharged from the outlet of the heating furnace 1 automatically roll down the inclined surface of the outlet onto the receiving plate 6, and then enter the horizontal conveyor 3. The horizontal conveyor 3 is a chain conveyor or a chain plate conveyor, preferably a chain conveyor. In this embodiment, a double-row chain is used as the transport carrier. In this embodiment, two parallel heating furnaces 1 are provided. In other embodiments, the number of heating furnaces 1 can be set according to actual needs. They can be arranged side-by-side on one side of the horizontal conveyor 3, or separately on both sides of the horizontal conveyor 3. In both cases, the horizontal conveyor 3 automatically collects the billets discharged from the outlet of the heating furnace 1.
[0024] The feed end of the lifting conveyor 4 corresponds to the discharge end of the horizontal conveyor 3. Guide plates 7 are provided on both sides of the feed end of the lifting conveyor 4 to guide the billet conveyed by the horizontal conveyor 3 into the lifting conveyor 4. The lifting conveyor 4 and the horizontal conveyor 3 are selected in the same way, preferably chain conveyors. In this embodiment, double-row chains are selected as the transport carrier.
[0025] In order to accommodate the fact that the positions of the forging press anvil 2 and the outlet of the heating furnace 1 are not on a straight line, the projections of the conveying axes of the horizontal conveyor 3 and the lifting conveyor 4 on the horizontal plane are not on a straight line, and the included angle between them is not less than 150°, so as to avoid the lifting conveyor 4 being unable to receive the billet sent out by the horizontal conveyor 3 normally.
[0026] The receiving box 5 is located between the discharge end of the lifting conveyor 4 and the anvil 2. A buffer mechanism is provided at the bottom of the receiving box 5 to reduce the impact and noise when the billet falls from the lifting conveyor 4. The mechanism includes a support plate 8 and a shock-absorbing spring 9 connecting the bottom surface of the support plate 8 and the bottom of the receiving box 5.
[0027] During production, the billet is heated by the heating furnace 1 and then rolls from its outlet to the horizontal conveyor 3. The horizontal conveyor 3 collects the billets heated by each heating furnace 1 and transports them to the inlet of the lifting conveyor 4. The billet is guided into the lifting conveyor 4 by the guide plate 7. The lifting conveyor 4 sends the billet into the receiving box 5. The forging operator clamps the billet in the receiving box 5 onto the anvil 2 next to it for forging operation. This completes the automatic conveying of high-temperature billets from the heating furnace 1 to the forging anvil 2, which greatly reduces the labor intensity of the operators, improves the feeding efficiency, and avoids the safety risks that may occur if the workers directly clamp the high-temperature billets.
[0028] Additionally, it should be noted that the above-described specific implementation is merely an optimized solution of this patent, and any modifications or improvements made by those skilled in the art based on the above concept are within the scope of protection of this patent.
