[0027] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0028] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution for an automatic material collection device for the tail of a sintering furnace: an automatic material collection device for the tail of a sintering furnace, including a box 1, a sintering furnace tail body 2 and a transport device 3. The sintering furnace tail body 2 is installed on the right side above the box 1, the transport device 3 is installed on the left side above the box 1, and the storage device 4 is installed on the left side of the box 1.

[0029] Storage device 4 includes rotating rollers 401, bearings 402, and a first fixed plate 403. Multiple rotating rollers 401 are located on the upper left side of the housing 1. The two sides of the rotating rollers 401 are connected to the inner wall of the first fixed plate 403 via bearings 402. First baffles 404 are installed on both sides above the first fixed plate 403. Support columns 405 are installed on both sides below the first fixed plate 403. The support columns 405 are installed on the right side above the base plate 406. A storage box 407 is located between the right side above the base plate 406 and the support columns 405. A fixing frame 409 is installed on the left side of the first fixed plate 403. The fixing frame 409 is installed on the left side above the base plate 406. A second baffle 410 is installed above the fixing frame 409. A second fixing plate 410 is located inside the fixing frame 409. 1. Multiple connecting blocks 412 are installed on both sides of the outer wall of the second fixed plate 411. The outer side of the connecting blocks 412 passes through the first slide groove 413 and connects to the outer wall of the slide table 414. The two sides of the slide table 414 are connected to the inner wall of the storage tank 415, which is located inside the fixed frame 409. Push plates 416 are installed on both sides above the second fixed plate 411. Fixed blocks 417 are installed on both sides below the push plates 416. The lower part of the fixed blocks 417 passes through the second slide groove 418 and is installed on both sides above the fixed rod 419. Cylinders 420 are installed on both sides of the right wall of the fixed rod 419. The cylinders 420 are installed inside the second fixed plate 411. At least one or all of the multiple rotating rollers 401 are connected to the drive motor via belt drive. The drive motor is located below the first fixed plate 403 and is controlled by a central controller. When the workpiece is conveyed from the conveyor device 3, the drive motor drives the rotating roller 401 to rotate actively, ensuring that the workpiece transitions smoothly and moves forward or to the left along the surface of the rotating roller 401. At the same time, the rotation speed of the rotating roller 401 can be matched according to the workpiece conveying speed to avoid workpiece accumulation or jamming.

[0030] When the equipment is needed for lunch, after the sintering furnace tail body 2 has finished processing the workpiece, the workpiece is transported to the top of the rotating roller 401 by the transport device 3. Through the continuous transport of the workpiece above the rotating roller 401 by the transport device 3, the workpiece above the rotating roller 401 can be pushed to the top of the second fixed plate 411. After the workpiece is pushed to the top of the second fixed plate 411, the slide table 414 is activated to drive the connecting block 412 to slide downward inside the first slide groove 413. The connecting block 412 drives the second fixed plate 411 to slide inside the fixed frame 409, so that the second fixed plate 411 is aligned with the bottom of the storage box 407. Next, the cylinder 420 is activated to drive the fixed block connected to the fixed rod 419. The fixed block 417 slides inside the second slide 418. The fixed block 417 drives the push plate 416 to slide, and the push plate 416 pushes the workpiece above the second fixed plate 411 to the right, so as to push the workpiece into the inner side of the storage box 407 for storage. During transportation, no manual operation is required, which allows enough time for workers to eat and rest, making the device more automated and improving its working efficiency. The lower part of the slide table 414 is connected to a small vertical cylinder, which is controlled by the central controller. When it receives the command to move downward, it drives the slide table 414 to drive the connecting block 412 to slide smoothly and accurately downward inside the first slide 413. The connecting block 412 drives the second fixed plate 411 to slide vertically inside the fixed frame 409 until the lower surface of the second fixed plate 411 is precisely aligned or tightly attached to the bottom of the storage box 407, so as to facilitate the subsequent pushing and storage of workpieces. The inner wall of the first slide 413 is provided with guide rails to ensure the smoothness and accuracy of the sliding process.

[0031] The top of the transport device 3 is on the same horizontal line as the top of the rotating roller 401, and the rotating roller 401 and the bearing 402 are rotatably connected.

[0032] The first fixing plate 403 and the first baffle 404 are arranged perpendicularly to each other, and the first fixing plate 403 and the support column 405 are fixedly connected.

[0033] The base plate 406 is fixedly connected to the support column 405 and the fixing frame 409, and the inner side of the support column 405 is correspondingly set with the storage box 407.

[0034] The fixed frame 409 is fixedly connected to the fixed frame 409, and the fixed frame 409 and the storage tank 415 are integrated.

[0035] The inner wall of the storage tank 415 is fixedly connected to both sides of the slide 414, and the slide 414 is fixedly connected to the connecting block 412.

[0036] The connecting block 412 and the first slide groove 413 are slidably connected, and the first slide groove 413 and the fixing frame 409 are integrated.

[0037] The connecting block 412 is fixedly connected to the second fixing plate 411, and the second fixing plate 411 and the push plate 416 are set perpendicular to each other.

[0038] The push plate 416 is fixedly connected to the fixed block 417, and the fixed block 417 is slidably connected to the second slide groove 418.

[0039] The second slide 418 and the second fixing plate 411 are integrated, and the fixing rods 419 are fixedly connected to the fixing block 417 and the cylinder 420.

[0040] The operating steps of this device are as follows:

[0041] This device achieves fully automated operation through a central controller, which is electrically connected to and coordinates the operation of the drive motor of the transport device 3, the rotating roller 401, the small cylinder of the slide table 414, and the cylinder 420.

[0042] ① Workpiece arrival detection: A photoelectric sensor is set at the end of the conveying device 3 or above the rotating roller 401 to detect in real time whether the workpiece processed by the sintering furnace tail body 2 has arrived at the material collection area.

[0043] ② Rotary roller conveying and temporary storage: When the sensor detects the arrival of the workpiece, the central controller starts the drive motor of the rotating roller 401, so that the workpiece is smoothly transferred from the transport device 3 to the top of the rotating roller 401. The rotating roller 401 can temporarily store the workpiece according to the workpiece flow rate. When it detects that there is empty space in the area above the second fixed plate 411, or that there are enough workpieces to push at once, the next action is triggered.

[0044] ③ Second fixed plate descent positioning: The central controller commands the small cylinder of the slide 414 to start, driving the slide 414 to move the second fixed plate 411 precisely downward along the first slide groove 413, so that it is aligned with the bottom of the storage box 407. This descent process is ensured by feedback from the position sensor.

[0045] ④ Cylinder push into the box: When the second fixing plate 411 is in place, the central controller commands the cylinder 420 to start. The cylinder 420 drives the fixing block 417 connected to the fixing rod 419 to slide horizontally along the second slide groove 418, and the push plate 416 pushes the workpiece above the second fixing plate 411 to the right, so that it enters the storage box 407 for orderly storage.

[0046] ⑤ Reset and Cycle: After the workpiece is successfully pushed into the storage box 407, the cylinder 420 resets, pushing the plate 416 and the fixing block 417 back to their initial positions. Subsequently, the small cylinder of the slide table 414 drives the second fixing plate 411 to reset upwards, ready to receive the next batch of workpieces. The entire process requires no manual intervention, realizing continuous and automatic material collection of workpieces at the tail of the sintering furnace, greatly improving the automation level and work efficiency of the production line.

[0047] Although embodiments of the present utility have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present utility, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
