Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of seamless ring component testing equipment, specifically a positioning and testing mechanism for seamless ring component processing. Background Technology
[0002] Seamless ring components for wind power are mainly produced by large CNC ring rolling machines. After processing, the surface flatness of the seamless ring components needs to be tested, which requires the use of testing agencies.
[0003] The utility model patent application with publication number "CN219624730U" discloses a positioning and detection mechanism for seamless ring processing. It mainly consists of a main frame, an electrically controlled conveyor belt, a distance sensing module, and an assembly frame. This technical solution utilizes a tilting adjustment arm controlled by a drive motor mounted on the main frame. This tilting adjustment arm allows for the separation of the driven ring from the conveyor belt, ensuring clamping stability. The built-in layout design significantly improves space utilization and makes the structure more compact. By installing side-mounted electrically driven wheels on the tilting adjustment arm, and cooperating with the distance sensing module on the electrically controlled tilting bracket, the flatness of the ring surface is detected. This eliminates the need for fixed detection positions and transfer operations, greatly improving processing and detection efficiency and reducing costs.
[0004] The positioning and detection mechanism for seamless ring processing disclosed in the above document has the following defects: When there are hard particles (such as metal shavings) on the contact surface between the seamless ring and the conveyor belt, its positioning stability may be compromised. After the hard particles are embedded in the surface of the conveyor belt, not only will the local rolling friction coefficient increase significantly, but it will also cause intermittent vibration. This asymmetric change in friction characteristics will generate a difference in lateral driving force during the conveying process, forcing the seamless ring to shift axially. Ultimately, this will cause an angular error between the reference surface of the detection mechanism and the actual processing surface of the seamless ring, which seriously interferes with the accuracy of the flatness detection results. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a positioning and detection mechanism for seamless ring processing, which solves the problem of axial displacement of existing seamless rings due to hard particles on the conveyor belt.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0007] This utility model relates to a positioning and detection mechanism for seamless ring processing, comprising a base plate, two sets of conveying structures arranged on the upper surface of the base plate, and a detection mechanism arranged between the two sets of conveying structures. Each conveying structure includes four support plates, all of which are mounted on the upper surface of the base plate. An electric roller is installed between each pair of adjacent support plates, and a conveyor belt is arranged between the two electric rollers. A cleaning structure and a limiting structure are provided on the upper surface of the base plate. The cleaning structure is located on the lower surface of the conveyor belt, and the limiting structure is located between the four support plates.
[0008] Furthermore, the cleaning structure includes a rotating shaft, wherein a rotating shaft is rotatably connected between two adjacent support plates, and a cleaning kit is mounted on the outer surface of the rotating shaft, the outer surface of the cleaning kit being in contact with the outer surface of the conveyor belt.
[0009] Furthermore, a housing is installed on the upper surface of the base plate, the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the inside of the housing, an opening is provided on the outer surface of the housing, a collection box is slidably connected inside the opening, a handle is provided on the outer surface of the collection box, and a motor is installed on the outer surface of one of the support plates, the output end of the motor is installed to the rotating shaft through a coupling.
[0010] Furthermore, the limiting structure includes two vertical plates, both of which are mounted on the upper surface of the base plate, and a horizontal plate is installed between the two vertical plates. The upper surface of the horizontal plate has a mounting hole, and a first connecting shaft is rotatably connected inside the mounting hole. A first gear is mounted on the upper end of the first connecting shaft. Two racks are provided on the upper surface of the horizontal plate. A connecting plate is mounted on one end of each rack, and a limiting plate is mounted on the other end of each connecting plate. Both racks are meshed with the first gear.
[0011] Furthermore, both limiting plates are located at both ends of the conveyor belt, a second gear is installed at the lower end of the first connecting shaft, and a worm gear is rotatably connected to the lower surface of the cross plate, the worm gear meshing with the second gear.
[0012] Furthermore, a second connecting shaft is installed at one end of the worm gear, and a through hole is opened on the outer surface of one of the vertical plates. The second connecting shaft is rotatably connected inside the through hole, and a rotating handle is installed at the other end of the second connecting shaft.
[0013] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] (1) By setting a limiting structure, the seamless ring can be restricted to the middle of the conveyor belt to prevent it from shifting during transportation. By rotating the rotating handle, the rotating handle drives the second connecting shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the worm gear to rotate synchronously. Since the worm gear meshes with the second gear, the second gear rotates, and the rotation of the second gear is transmitted to the first connecting shaft, causing the first connecting shaft and the first gear to rotate accordingly. When the first gear rotates, it drives the two racks to move in opposite directions, which in turn drives the limiting plate to move through the connecting plate, so that the two limiting plates move closer or further apart synchronously, thereby achieving the effect of adjusting the distance between the two limiting plates.
[0015] (2) When the conveyor belt of this utility model is running in the preset direction, the motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate in the opposite direction to the direction of the conveyor belt, which drives the cleaning kit to rotate at high speed. The elastic scraper on the surface of the cleaning kit makes reverse friction contact with the lower surface of the conveyor belt. Through shearing action, the hard particles attached to the surface of the conveyor belt are peeled off. The removed pollutants are thrown out along the tangent of the cleaning kit under the action of centrifugal force. After being guided by the inner wall of the outer shell, they fall into the collection box. The operator regularly pulls out the collection box by the handle to clean it in a concentrated manner, so as to achieve continuous self-cleaning of the contact surface of the conveyor belt.
[0016] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

[0025] 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 some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0026] Please see Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model is a positioning and detection mechanism for seamless ring processing, including a base plate 1. Two sets of conveying structures 2 are provided on the upper surface of the base plate 1, and a detection mechanism 3 is provided between the two sets of conveying structures 2. The conveying structure 2 includes four support plates 201, all four support plates 201 are installed on the upper surface of the base plate 1, an electric roller 202 is installed between each two adjacent support plates 201, and a conveyor belt 203 is provided between two electric rollers 202. A cleaning structure 4 and a limiting structure 5 are provided on the upper surface of the base plate 1. The cleaning structure 4 is located on the lower surface of the conveyor belt 203, and the limiting structure 5 is located between the four support plates 201.
[0027] The cleaning structure 4 can clean the surface of the conveyor belt 203, preventing hard particles from adhering to the surface of the conveyor belt 203. At the same time, the limiting structure 5 can restrict the seamless ring to the middle of the conveyor belt 203, preventing it from shifting during transportation.
[0028] When the equipment is running, the electric rollers 202 of the two sets of conveyor structures 2 are started simultaneously, driving the conveyor belt 203 to rotate in the set direction. The operator places the seamless ring to be inspected at the feed end of one side of the conveyor belt 203, and it moves with the conveyor belt 203 to the scanning station of the inspection mechanism 3 to complete the flatness inspection. After the inspection data is collected, the ring is automatically transferred to the other side of the conveyor belt 203 through the transition area between the two sets of conveyor structures 2, and is unloaded in the discharge direction, forming a closed-loop automated transmission path.
[0029] The cleaning structure 4 includes a rotating shaft 401, wherein the rotating shaft 401 is rotatably connected between two adjacent support plates 201, and a cleaning kit 402 is installed on the outer surface of the rotating shaft 401, and the outer surface of the cleaning kit 402 is in contact with the outer surface of the conveyor belt 203.
[0030] A housing 403 is mounted on the upper surface of the base plate 1. A rotating shaft 401 is rotatably connected to the inside of the housing 403. An opening is provided on the outer surface of the housing 403. A collection box 404 is slidably connected inside the opening. A handle 405 is provided on the outer surface of the collection box 404. A motor 406 is mounted on the outer surface of one of the support plates 201. The output end of the motor 406 is mounted to the rotating shaft 401 through a coupling.
[0031] When the conveyor belt 203 runs in a preset direction, the motor 406 drives the rotating shaft 401 to rotate in the opposite direction to the movement of the conveyor belt 203, causing the cleaning kit 402 to rotate at high speed. The elastic scraper on the surface of the cleaning kit 402 makes reverse friction contact with the lower surface of the conveyor belt 203, and peels off the hard particles attached to the surface of the conveyor belt 203 through shearing action. The removed contaminants are thrown out along the tangential direction of the cleaning kit 402 under the action of centrifugal force, and fall into the collection box 404 after being guided by the inner wall of the outer shell 403. The operator regularly pulls out the collection box 404 through the handle 405 for centralized cleaning, so as to achieve continuous self-cleaning of the contact surface of the conveyor belt 203.
[0032] The limiting structure 5 includes two vertical plates 501, both of which are mounted on the upper surface of the base plate 1. A horizontal plate 502 is installed between the two vertical plates 501. The upper surface of the horizontal plate 502 has a mounting hole. A first connecting shaft 503 is rotatably connected inside the mounting hole. A first gear 504 is mounted on the upper end of the first connecting shaft 503. Two racks 505 are provided on the upper surface of the horizontal plate 502. A connecting plate 506 is installed on one end of each rack 505. A limiting plate 507 is installed on the other end of each connecting plate 506. Both racks 505 are meshed with the first gear 504.
[0033] Both limiting plates 507 are located at both ends of the conveyor belt 203. The lower end of the first connecting shaft 503 is equipped with a second gear 508. The lower surface of the cross plate 502 is rotatably connected to a worm gear 509, which meshes with the second gear 508.
[0034] A second connecting shaft 5010 is installed at one end of the worm gear 509. A through hole is opened on the outer surface of one of the vertical plates 501. The second connecting shaft 5010 is rotatably connected inside the through hole. A rotating handle 5011 is installed at the other end of the second connecting shaft 501.
[0035] Before inspecting the seamless ring, the seamless ring is first placed on the conveyor belt 203. By rotating the rotary handle 5011, the rotary handle 5011 drives the second connecting shaft 5010 to rotate, which in turn drives the worm gear 509 to rotate synchronously. Since the worm gear 509 meshes with the second gear 508, the second gear 508 rotates, and the rotation of the second gear 508 is transmitted to the first connecting shaft 503, causing the first connecting shaft 503 and the first gear 504 to rotate accordingly. When the first gear 504 rotates, it drives the two racks 505 to move linearly in opposite directions, which in turn drives the limiting plate 507 to move through the connecting plate 506. This allows the two limiting plates 507 to move closer or further apart synchronously, thus adjusting the distance between the two limiting plates 507. Once both limiting plates 507 are in contact with the surface of the seamless ring, the rotary handle 5011 is stopped, and the seamless ring can then be conveyed and inspected.
