Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a bead sintering transfer and conveying device. Background Technology

[0002] Diamond wire saws, used in wire sawing, consist of three parts: diamond beads, a retainer sleeve, and a steel wire rope. The beads serve to hold the diamond abrasive grains in place and enable effective cutting during the sawing process. Although the structure of diamond wire saws varies depending on the application, it encompasses the basic components of a diamond wire saw. The sawing drive of a diamond wire saw is based on the principle of pulley transmission.

[0003] When preparing beads, sintering is required in a bead sintering furnace. After sintering, the beads need to be cooled and transported to the next station, which is usually the demolding process. The transfer is usually done manually, which is hot and poses a risk of burns. The automation level is low and the efficiency is low, which urgently needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0009] Furthermore, the bottom of the support base and the mounting base are both fixedly connected to the main frame. The bead sintering furnace, the transition table, the first electric slide rail, and the second electric slide rail are all mounted on the main frame. A dust collection hood for dust collection is provided above the transition roller and the guide rod.

[0010] Furthermore, a limiting plate is coaxially fixed to the middle of the main body of the lifting cylinder.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] To make the above-mentioned features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, specific embodiments are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings for detailed explanation.

[0023] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the bead sintering transfer and conveying device includes a bead sintering furnace 1. The outlet end of the bead sintering furnace is transferred via an inclined guide rail 2 to a transition platform 4, where a tray 3 receiving beads is transferred. The guide rail surface has many perforations, which are used to reduce temperature or increase friction to slow down the conveying speed of the tray and ensure the cooling effect. A horizontal conveyor belt 5 is provided on the transition platform to transport the tray to a clamping and transfer station 6. A lifting cylinder 7 is provided above the clamping and transfer station, and a bidirectional cylinder 8 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the lifting cylinder. Both ends of the bidirectional cylinder are fixedly connected to clamping arms 9 that extend and retract in opposite directions. The top of the lifting cylinder is driven and slides longitudinally via a first electric slide rail 10. A second electric slide rail 11 is provided below the first electric slide rail to receive the tray and drive it to slide laterally. The lower end of one clamping arm is fixedly provided with a top plate 13 to facilitate downward contact with a limit switch 12.

[0024] In this embodiment of the utility model, a bracket 14 is provided on the second electric slide rail to support the tray, and the bracket has symmetrically provided clearance grooves 15 on both longitudinal sides to allow for the movement of the clamping arms.

[0025] In this embodiment of the utility model, the transition platform is symmetrically provided with clearance openings 16 at the clamping and transfer station to allow for the clearance of the clamping arms.

[0026] In this embodiment of the utility model, a transition roller 17 is provided between the guide rail and the transition platform. The transition roller extends horizontally and its two longitudinal ends are hinged to the support base 18. A plurality of guide rods 19 are provided between the transition roller and the guide rail. The guide rods all extend horizontally and their two longitudinal ends are rotatably connected to the mounting base 20. The guide rods are all arranged laterally at intervals. A sensor 21 for sensing the tray is provided on the side of the transition platform near the transition roller.

[0027] In this embodiment of the utility model, the bottom of the support base and the mounting base are both fixedly connected to the main frame 22. The bead sintering furnace, the transition table, the first electric slide rail, and the second electric slide rail are all mounted on the main frame. A dust collection hood 23 for dust collection is provided above the transition roller and the guide rod.

[0028] In this embodiment of the utility model, a limiting plate 24 is coaxially fixed to the middle of the outer side of the lifting cylinder body. A contact sensor 25 is fixed on the limiting plate to detect the lifting state of the clamping tray. When the lifting cylinder retracts and resets, the top of the bidirectional cylinder touches the contact sensor and starts the first electric slide rail. A guide rod 26 extending vertically upward is fixed on the top of the bidirectional cylinder. A guide hole 27 is provided on the limiting plate for the guide rod to pass through.

[0029] In this embodiment of the invention, a sensor 28 for detecting whether the pallet has arrived at the clamping and transfer station is fixed on the transition platform at the end of the horizontal conveyor belt.

[0030] In this embodiment of the invention, limit switches are provided at both ends of the first electric slide rail and the second electric slide rail, as well as on the downward path of the top plate. The limit switches at both ends of the first electric slide rail control the stopping of the first electric slide rail and the starting downward movement of the lifting cylinder when it reaches above the second electric slide rail. The limit switches at both ends of the second electric slide rail control the stopping of the second electric slide rail. The limit switches on the downward path of the top plate are connected to the main frame. When the tray is at the first end of the second electric slide rail, the top of the limit switch is located in the clearance groove so that the top plate can abut against it as it moves downward. The tray is driven downward by the lifting cylinder. Then the top plate abuts against the limit switch, the lifting cylinder stops moving downward, and the bidirectional switch opens to release the tray. Afterward, the lifting cylinder resets, and the contact sensor senses and starts the first electric slide rail to reset it. At the same time, the second electric slide rail starts to transfer and transport the tray to the next work station.

[0031] In this embodiment of the utility model, the clamping arms are all L-shaped, the top plate is L-shaped, its vertical section is fixedly connected to the clamping arm on the side, and its horizontal section extends in the opposite direction to the clamping arm on the side.

[0032] The working principle of this utility model embodiment is as follows: After sintering in the bead sintering furnace, the beads and tray conveyed out slide onto the guide rod via the guide rail and are guided to the transition roller. Under the action of gravity, they slide slowly, and with the help of the dust suction hood, the debris and dust generated during sintering are removed, further dissipating heat. Then, they pass the end of the tray to the transition platform, where they are sensed by the sensor. The horizontal conveyor belt starts and transfers the tray to the clamping and transfer station. After the sensor senses the position, it starts the lifting cylinder and the bidirectional cylinder. After descending to the position, the bidirectional cylinder retracts into the clearance slot to clamp the tray. After clamping, the lifting cylinder retracts and moves upward, touching the contact sensor. The signal is then transmitted to the first electric slide rail, which starts and moves the tray to the top of the second electric slide rail. It stops when it touches the limit switch and starts the lifting cylinder to move the tray downward. The top plate on the clamping arm touches the limit switch at the clearance slot, causing the lifting cylinder to stop, the clamping arm to release, the lifting cylinder to reset, and the second electric slide rail starts to transport the tray and bracket to the next station.

[0033] This utility model is not limited to the preferred embodiment described above. Anyone can derive other forms of beaded sintering transfer and conveying devices based on the teachings of this utility model. All equivalent variations and modifications made within the scope of the claims of this utility model should be considered within the scope of this utility model.
