Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of steel production technology, and in particular relates to a guide groove structure with a self-abutting wear-resistant inlet guide plate. Background Technology

[0002] In the steel production and related metal processing industries, guide channels are key components that guide steel materials (such as round bars) along a predetermined path, and their performance directly affects production efficiency and product quality.

[0003] Traditional guide trough structures typically consist of a guide trough base plate and two guide trough side plates, with a guide trough cover plate on top. At the round steel inlet end of the guide trough, an inlet guide plate is inclinedly installed on the guide trough base plate, guide trough side plates, and guide trough cover plate to guide the round steel smoothly into the guide trough. However, this traditional guide trough has many significant problems in practical applications.

[0004] During steel production, round steel bars and other steel materials continuously travel within guide channels, generating frequent friction with various contact surfaces. With prolonged use, components of traditional guide channels, especially the bottom plate which directly contacts the steel, exhibit varying degrees of wear. This wear is not uniformly distributed but rather presents as strip-shaped grooves along the steel's path. This specific wear morphology has a severe negative impact on the steel's surface quality. On one hand, the grooves created by wear directly scratch the steel surface, leading to defects such as scratches and pits, reducing the steel's appearance and surface finish, and affecting its subsequent processing and performance. On the other hand, when wear reaches a certain depth, the grooves can obstruct the steel's movement, and in severe cases, even cause steel to accumulate within the guide channel, resulting in steel piling. Steel piling not only disrupts normal production rhythms and causes interruptions but can also lead to equipment malfunctions, increasing equipment maintenance and production costs, and even posing a threat to the safety of production personnel.

[0005] To address the problems caused by wear and tear on traditional guide channels, the current common solution is to replace the entire guide channel after deep grooves have developed. However, this method has significant drawbacks. First, replacing the entire guide channel is time-consuming, including disassembling the old channel, installing the new one, and debugging the equipment. This leads to extended production line downtime, severely impacting production efficiency and reducing the company's capacity. Second, replacing the entire guide channel means scrapping the original one, resulting in substantial material waste and resource depletion, increasing the company's production costs.

[0006] Therefore, developing a new type of wear-resistant guide groove structure that can effectively solve the wear problem of traditional guide grooves, improve the service life of guide grooves, reduce scratches and steel accumulation on the steel surface, and reduce production costs is of great practical significance.

On the inlet guide plate side, the wear-resistant liner plate is provided with a wear-resistant inlet guide plate that fits against the inlet guide plate of the guide channel bottom plate. A hanging plate is provided at the lower end of the wear-resistant inlet guide plate in the direction of round steel travel. The hanging plate abuts against the end face of the inlet guide plate of the guide channel bottom plate during the steel plate travel.

[0009] In a further preferred embodiment, the wear-resistant liner at the round steel outlet end of the guide groove is provided with a vertically downward mounting plate. The mounting plate is provided with mounting holes, and locking bolts are installed in the mounting holes. The locking bolts fix the mounting plate to the end face of the bottom plate of the guide groove.

[0010] More preferably, the inlet guide plate has an inclination angle of 30°.

[0011] The advantages and technical effects of this utility model are as follows: In terms of wear resistance, the wear-resistant liner and wear-resistant inlet guide plate directly bear friction, reducing wear on the guide groove bottom plate, extending the service life of the guide groove, and reducing production costs and the risk of interruption.

[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0020] Example 1, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 A guide channel structure with a self-abutting wear-resistant inlet guide plate includes a guide channel 1, which is formed by a guide channel bottom plate 11 and two guide channel side plates 12. A guide channel cover plate 13 is also provided above the guide channel. An inlet guide plate 14 is inclinedly provided on the guide channel bottom plate, the guide channel side plates, and the guide channel cover plate at the round steel inlet end of the guide channel to guide the round steel into the guide channel. It also includes a wear-resistant liner 2, which is placed on the guide channel bottom plate. On the inlet guide plate side, the wear-resistant liner is provided with a wear-resistant inlet guide plate 21 that fits against the inlet guide plate of the guide channel bottom plate. A hanging plate 22 is provided at the lower end of the wear-resistant inlet guide plate in the direction of round steel travel. The hanging plate abuts against the end face of the inlet guide plate of the guide channel bottom plate during the steel plate travel.

[0021] This embodiment has the following advantages:

[0022] Improve the wear resistance of the guide groove: The wear-resistant liner and wear-resistant inlet guide plate directly bear the friction between the round steel and the guide groove, effectively reducing the direct contact and wear between the bottom plate of the guide groove and the round steel, greatly improving the wear resistance of the guide groove at the round steel inlet end, extending the overall service life of the guide groove, and reducing the production cost and production interruption risk caused by frequent guide groove replacement.

[0023] Reduce steel surface scratches: The wear-resistant inlet guide plate is attached to the inlet guide plate of the guide groove bottom plate, and its lower end is provided with a hanging plate that abuts against the end face of the inlet guide plate of the guide groove bottom plate. This structure allows the round steel to be guided more smoothly and steadily when entering the guide groove, avoiding the problem of steel surface scratches caused by unevenness or wear at the inlet of the guide groove, thus improving the surface quality of the steel and the yield.

[0024] The self-abutting structure enhances stability: During the movement of the round steel, the hanging plate abuts against the end face of the inlet guide plate of the guide trough bottom plate, forming a self-abutting structure. This structure effectively prevents the wear-resistant liner from shifting during the round steel's movement, ensuring a tight fit between the wear-resistant inlet guide plate and the inlet guide plate of the guide trough bottom plate. This guarantees the accuracy and stability of guiding the round steel into the guide trough, further improving the performance of the guide trough.

[0025] Example 2, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 In this embodiment, the wear-resistant liner at the round steel outlet end of the guide groove is provided with a vertically downward mounting plate 23. The mounting plate is provided with mounting holes 24, and locking bolts 3 are installed in the mounting holes. The locking bolts fix the mounting plate to the end face of the bottom plate of the guide groove. The remaining features are the same as in embodiment 1.

[0026] This embodiment offers the following technical advantages: Enhanced installation stability of the wear-resistant liner: A vertically downward mounting plate is installed at the round steel outlet end of the guide groove, and the mounting plate is fixed to the end face of the guide groove bottom plate using locking bolts. This fixing method significantly enhances the installation stability of the wear-resistant liner within the guide groove. During the continuous movement of the round steel, the wear-resistant liner will not shift or loosen due to the impact and friction of the round steel, ensuring a consistently good fit between the wear-resistant inlet guide plate and the guide groove bottom plate inlet guide plate, further improving the wear resistance and service life of the guide groove.

[0027] Easy maintenance and replacement: The use of locking bolts to fix the mounting plate makes the installation and removal of the wear-resistant liner more convenient. When the wear-resistant liner becomes severely worn due to long-term use, it can be easily removed and replaced simply by loosening the locking bolts, greatly shortening maintenance time, improving production efficiency, and reducing maintenance costs.

[0028] Improving the overall performance of the guide channel: Through a stable installation method and the use of wear-resistant liners, the performance of the guide channel in guiding round steel bars into and out of the channel is comprehensively enhanced. This effectively reduces scratches and steel buildup on the steel surface, while ensuring the stability and reliability of the guide channel during long-term use, providing a strong guarantee for efficient production in enterprises.

[0029] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
