Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steel ball manufacturing technology, specifically a conveying mechanism for steel ball quenching. Background Technology

[0002] In the production of steel balls, quenching is a crucial step, significantly improving their hardness, wear resistance, and other mechanical properties to meet the quality and performance requirements of various industrial sectors. A key challenge in steel ball production is efficiently and reliably transporting the steel balls to the quenching position and successfully completing the quenching process.

[0003] Traditional steel ball quenching conveying methods often have many drawbacks. On the one hand, some conveying methods rely on manual handling, which is not only labor-intensive and inefficient, but also makes it difficult to guarantee the accuracy and stability of each conveying, easily leading to problems such as steel balls spilling and conveying position deviations, affecting production progress and product quality. On the other hand, although some simple mechanical conveying devices reduce the manual burden to a certain extent, the friction between the steel balls and the conveying device, and between the material frame and the conveying channel, is relatively large during the conveying process, which can easily lead to smooth conveying, or even the material frame jamming and damage, increasing equipment maintenance costs and the risk of production interruption.

[0004] Furthermore, during the process of transferring steel balls from the conveying device to the quenching oil tank, traditional operating methods may not be able to accurately control the timing and method of transfer, which can easily cause problems such as steel balls scattering and uneven quenching, further affecting the quenching effect and overall quality of the steel balls. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the above-mentioned technical problems and thus provide a conveying mechanism for steel ball quenching.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] This utility model provides a conveying mechanism for quenching steel balls.

[0008] The system includes a conveying channel, a frame, a conveying plate, a material frame, a tipping bucket, and a quenching oil tank. The conveying channel runs through the left and right side walls of the frame. The material frame is located on the conveying channel and is used to store steel balls to be quenched. A conveying plate is located at the conveying end of the conveying channel, with its right end inclined downwards. A support is located on one side of the frame, and the tipping bucket is located on the support. A pushing mechanism is located at the end of the conveying channel away from the frame, which pushes the material frame along the conveying channel onto the conveying plate and slides it along the conveying plate into the tipping bucket. The quenching oil tank is located on one side of the tipping bucket, and a flipping mechanism is located below the tipping bucket, which flips the tipping bucket so that the material frame and steel balls inside the tipping bucket fall into the quenching oil tank for quenching.

[0009] Optionally, a button is provided on the frame. The button is electrically connected to the tilting mechanism. The button is used to control the opening and resetting of the tilting mechanism. When the manual observes that the material frame has entered the tilting hopper, the manual presses the button, so that the tilting mechanism can tilt the tilting hopper, thereby tilting the material frame and steel ball in the tilting hopper as a whole into the quenching oil bath for quenching.

[0010] Optionally, the pushing mechanism is configured as a hydraulic pusher cylinder, and the flipping mechanism is configured as a flipping pusher cylinder.

[0011] Optionally, the conveying channel is provided with a plurality of guide rollers, which are evenly distributed along the length of the conveying channel and the rotation axis of the guide rollers is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveying channel.

[0012] Optionally, baffles are provided on both sides of the conveyor plate, and the height of the baffles is higher than the height of the material frame. The baffles are used to prevent the material frame from sliding off the sides during the sliding process along the conveyor plate, so as to ensure that the material frame can accurately enter the tipping bucket.

[0013] Optionally, a buffer pad is provided at the bottom of the tipping bucket. The buffer pad is used to cushion the material frame when the material frame and steel ball are flipped and fall into the tipping bucket, thereby reducing the impact force between the material frame and the bottom of the tipping bucket and extending the service life of the material frame and the tipping bucket.

[0019] 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 protection scope of this utility model.

[0020] Example:

[0021] like Figures 1-2 As shown, this utility model provides a conveying mechanism for quenching steel balls.

[0022] The system includes a conveying channel 1, a frame 2, a conveying plate 3, a material frame 4, a tipping bucket 5, and a quenching oil tank 6. The conveying channel 1 runs through the left and right side walls of the frame 2. The material frame 4 is located on the conveying channel 1 and is used to store steel balls to be quenched. The conveying end of the conveying channel 1 is provided with a conveying plate 3, the right end of which is inclined downwards. A support 7 is provided on one side of the frame 2, and the tipping bucket 5 is located on the support 7. A pushing mechanism 8 is provided at the end of the conveying channel 1 away from the frame 2. The pushing mechanism 8 is used to push the material frame 4 along the conveying channel 1 onto the conveying plate 3 and slide it along the conveying plate 3 into the tipping bucket 5. The quenching oil tank 6 is located on one side of the tipping bucket 5. A flipping mechanism 9 is provided below the tipping bucket 5. The flipping mechanism 9 is used to flip the tipping bucket 5, thereby flipping the material frame 4 and the steel balls inside the tipping bucket 5 and dropping them into the quenching oil tank 6 for quenching.

[0023] This application provides a stable path for conveying the material frame 4 by setting a conveying channel 1 that runs through the left and right side walls of the frame 2, ensuring that the material frame 4 can move in a predetermined direction. The material frame 4 is set on the conveying channel 1 to store the steel balls to be quenched. The material frame 4 is pushed along the conveying channel 1 to the conveying plate 3 by the pushing mechanism 8, and then slid along the conveying plate 3 into the tipping bucket 5. Finally, the material frame 4 and the steel balls in the tipping bucket 5 are flipped and dropped into the quenching oil tank 6 by the tipping mechanism 9 for quenching. This realizes the automated process of steel balls from storage to conveying and then to quenching, reduces manual intervention, and improves production efficiency and the consistency of quenching quality.

[0024] The right end of the conveyor plate 3 is inclined downwards, which allows the material frame 4 to slide more smoothly along the conveyor plate 3 into the tipping bucket 5 by using gravity. This reduces the thrust requirement of the pushing mechanism 8 and also reduces the energy consumption and wear of the material frame 4 during the sliding process.

[0025] Optionally, a button 10 is provided on the frame 2. The button 10 is electrically connected to the flipping mechanism 9. The button 10 is used to control the opening and resetting of the flipping mechanism 9. When the manual observes that the material frame 4 has entered the tipping bucket 5, the manual presses the button 10, so that the flipping mechanism 9 flips the tipping bucket 5, thereby flipping the material frame 4 and the steel ball in the tipping bucket 5 into the quenching oil tank 6 for quenching.

[0026] A button 10 is installed on the frame 2 and is electrically connected to the flipping mechanism 9. The operator can control the opening and resetting of the flipping mechanism 9 by observing the material frame 4 entering the tipping bucket 5 and pressing the button 10 in time. The manual control method can ensure that the flipping operation is carried out after the material frame 4 is accurately in place, avoiding errors or malfunctions that may occur due to automatic control, and improving the accuracy and reliability of the flipping.

[0027] The manual pressing of button 10 provides a certain degree of flexibility. Operators can react promptly based on actual conditions, such as the position and status of the material frame 4, to ensure the smooth progress of the entire quenching process. At the same time, in case of abnormalities, operators can quickly stop the flipping operation and take appropriate measures to ensure production safety.

[0028] Optionally, the pushing mechanism 8 is configured as a hydraulic push cylinder, and the flipping mechanism 9 is configured as a flipping push cylinder.

[0029] The pushing mechanism 8 is set as a hydraulic pusher cylinder. The hydraulic pusher cylinder has the characteristics of large thrust, smooth operation and high control precision. During the process of pushing the material frame 4 to move along the conveying channel 1, it can provide stable and powerful power to ensure that the material frame 4 can accurately reach the designated position and run smoothly, reducing the shaking and collision of the material frame 4 during the conveying process and protecting the safety of the material frame 4 and the steel ball.

[0030] The flipping mechanism 9 is set as a flipping push cylinder, which can quickly and accurately realize the flipping action of the bucket 5. It can react quickly according to the control signal and flip the material frame 4 and steel balls in the bucket 5 into the quenching oil tank 6. The action is flexible and reliable, which improves the efficiency of quenching operation.

[0031] Optionally, a plurality of guide rollers 11 are provided on the conveying channel 1. The guide rollers 11 are evenly distributed along the length direction of the conveying channel 1, and the rotation axis of the guide rollers 11 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveying channel 1. The guide rollers 11 are used to assist the material frame 4 to move smoothly on the conveying channel 1 and reduce the friction between the material frame 4 and the conveying channel 1.

[0032] Several guide rollers 11 are set on the conveying channel 1, and the guide rollers 11 are evenly distributed along the length of the conveying channel 1. Their rotation axis is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveying channel 1, so that when the material frame 4 moves on the conveying channel 1, rolling friction is formed between it and the guide rollers 11, which greatly reduces the sliding friction between the material frame 4 and the conveying channel 1, reduces the energy loss of the material frame 4 during the conveying process, and also reduces the wear of the material frame 4 and the conveying channel 1, thus extending the service life of the equipment.

[0033] The presence of the guide rollers 11 also provides auxiliary support and guidance for the material frame 4, enabling the material frame 4 to move more smoothly on the conveying channel 1. This avoids tilting or jamming of the material frame 4 due to uneven force, thus improving the stability and reliability of the conveying process.

[0034] Optionally, baffles 12 are provided on both sides of the conveyor plate 3. The height of the baffles 12 is higher than the height of the material frame 4. The baffles 12 are used to prevent the material frame 4 from sliding off the sides during the sliding process along the conveyor plate 3, so as to ensure that the material frame 4 can accurately enter the tipping bucket 5.

[0035] Baffles 12 are installed on both sides of the conveyor plate 3, and the height of the baffles 12 is higher than the height of the material frame 4. This can effectively prevent the material frame 4 from sliding off the sides during the sliding process along the conveyor plate 3, ensuring that the material frame 4 can accurately enter the tipping bucket 5 according to the predetermined path. This avoids problems such as steel balls spilling and equipment damage caused by the material frame 4 sliding off, and improves the safety and efficiency of production.

[0036] The baffle 12 increases the constraints on the conveying process, restricting the material frame 4 on both sides during sliding, reducing the lateral offset of the material frame 4, thereby improving the accuracy of the material frame 4 entering the tipping bucket 5, and providing a good foundation for subsequent quenching operations.

[0037] Optionally, a buffer pad is provided at the bottom of the tipping bucket 5. The buffer pad is used to cushion the material frame 4 when the material frame 4 and the steel ball are flipped and fall into the tipping bucket 5, thereby reducing the impact force between the material frame 4 and the bottom of the tipping bucket 5 and extending the service life of the material frame 4 and the tipping bucket 5.

[0038] A buffer pad is installed at the bottom of the tipping bucket 5. When the material frame 4 and the steel ball are flipped and fall into the tipping bucket 5, the buffer pad can play a buffering role, reducing the impact force between the material frame 4 and the bottom of the tipping bucket 5. This not only protects the material frame 4 and prevents it from being damaged due to excessive impact, thus extending the service life of the material frame 4, but also reduces the impact on the tipping bucket 5, reduces the vibration and deformation of the tipping bucket 5, and extends the service life of the tipping bucket 5.

[0039] The cushioning layer can also absorb some of the energy generated when the material frame 4 falls, reduce noise, improve the working environment, and meet the requirements of modern industrial production for environmental protection and comfort.

[0040] The conveying mechanism of this application realizes the automated process of steel balls from storage to conveying and then to quenching. The material frame 4 is pushed by the pushing mechanism 8 on the conveying channel 1, slides along the conveying plate 3 into the tipping bucket 5, and finally flips to the quenching oil tank 6 for quenching by the flipping mechanism 9. The whole process does not require frequent manual handling and operation, which greatly shortens the time interval of steel ball quenching and significantly improves production efficiency. For example, in the traditional manual operation mode, it may take a long time to handle and adjust the position to complete the quenching of a batch of steel balls, while the production efficiency can be greatly improved by adopting the mechanism of this application.

[0041] The right end of the conveyor plate 3 is inclined downward, which allows the material frame 4 to slide more smoothly along the conveyor plate 3 into the tipping bucket 5 by gravity. This reduces the thrust requirement of the pushing mechanism 8 and also reduces the energy consumption and wear of the material frame 4 during the sliding process. In addition, the guide roller 11 reduces the friction between the material frame 4 and the conveying channel 1, enabling the material frame 4 to move quickly and smoothly, further improving the conveying efficiency.

[0042] By manually observing the material frame 4 entering the tipping bucket 5 and using button 10 to control the opening and resetting of the tipping mechanism 9, it is possible to ensure that the tipping operation is performed only after the material frame 4 is accurately in place. This avoids errors or malfunctions that may occur due to automatic control, improves the accuracy and reliability of the tipping, and ensures that the steel balls fall accurately into the quenching oil bath 6, guaranteeing the consistency and uniformity of quenching, thereby improving the quenching quality of the steel balls.

[0043] Traditional manual handling and operation methods are easily affected by human factors, such as lack of operator skill or fatigue, leading to problems such as spillage and collisions of steel balls during transportation and quenching, which affect product quality. The conveying mechanism of this application reduces manual intervention, minimizes the impact of human factors on product quality, and improves product quality stability.

[0044] The guide rollers 11 create rolling friction between the material frame 4 and the guide rollers 11 as the material frame 4 moves on the conveying channel 1, which greatly reduces the sliding friction between the material frame 4 and the conveying channel 1, and reduces the wear of the material frame 4 and the conveying channel 1. At the same time, the buffer pad plays a buffering role when the material frame 4 falls into the tipping bucket 5, reducing the impact force between the material frame 4 and the bottom of the tipping bucket 5, protecting the material frame 4 and the tipping bucket 5, extending the service life of the equipment, and reducing the replacement cost of the equipment.

[0045] The operator manually presses button 10 to control the opening and resetting of the flipping mechanism 9. This allows the operator to react promptly based on actual conditions, such as the position and status of the material frame 4, ensuring the smooth operation of the entire quenching process. In case of any abnormalities, the operator can also quickly stop the flipping operation and take appropriate action, ensuring production safety.

[0046] Manual control offers a degree of flexibility, adapting to diverse production needs and specific circumstances. For instance, when adjusting the quenching rhythm or handling special situations, operators can flexibly control the flipping operation based on the actual conditions, enhancing production adaptability and flexibility.

[0047] The buffer layer can absorb some of the energy generated when the material frame 4 falls, reducing noise. In traditional manual operation or simple mechanical conveying, the collision and falling of the material frame 4 will generate a lot of noise and pollute the working environment. However, the conveying mechanism of this application effectively reduces the noise level and improves the working environment by setting the buffer layer, which meets the requirements of modern industrial production for environmental protection and comfort.
