Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steel billet forging technology, and in particular to an automatic flipping and positioning device for steel billets during the forging process. Background Technology
[0002] Steel billets are products obtained by casting molten steel produced in a steelmaking furnace. During billet production, a hydraulic hammer is used to repeatedly strike the billet, heating it to a suitable temperature. Then, it undergoes forging and extrusion operations on a forging press to change its shape and improve its performance. During this process, the billet's position needs to be constantly turned and adjusted to ensure even stress distribution. Currently, manual turning is mostly used. However, due to the high temperature of the billet and severe heat radiation, this not only harms the health of workers but also significantly increases their workload. It also makes rapid forging difficult, leading to challenges in turning and positioning the billet during forging. Utility Model Content
[0003] To overcome the technical defects of the existing technology, this utility model provides an automatic billet flipping and positioning device in the forging process, which can automatically flip and position the billet, improve forging efficiency, and reduce the labor intensity of operators.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is: an automatic billet flipping and positioning device during forging, including a base, a lifting plate installed at the middle of the upper end of the base, and a bearing turntable rotatably installed at the upper end of the lifting plate. Support plates are symmetrically fixedly installed on both sides of the upper surface of the base, and telescopic cylinders are fixedly installed on the support plates. A motor frame is fixedly installed at the output end of the telescopic cylinder, and a drive motor is fixedly installed inside the motor frame. A clamping turntable is fixedly installed at the output end of the drive motor. The clamping turntables on both sides are symmetrically distributed and located on both sides of the bearing turntable. In use, the base is first fixed below an external forging press. The billet to be forged is heated and placed on the bearing turntable. The lifting plate drives the bearing turntable to rise to a high position, and the rotation of the bearing turntable... The telescopic cylinder pushes the clamping turntable, which pushes the steel billet to the center of the bearing turntable for easy positioning. After positioning, the telescopic cylinder retracts, and the steel billet is forged by the forging press. When the steel billet needs to be flipped, the telescopic cylinder drives the motor frame to move towards the steel billet, so that the clamping turntables on both sides clamp the steel billet. After clamping, the lifting plate drives the bearing turntable to descend, so that the steel billet is suspended in the air. The driving motor rotates the clamping turntable, causing the steel billet to flip. After flipping, the lifting plate drives the bearing turntable to rise, supporting the steel billet again. Before clamping, the bearing turntable rotates the steel billet to adjust the clamping position, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the flipping direction and improving the applicability during flipping.
[0005] Preferably, a groove is provided in the middle of the base, and a load-bearing hydraulic cylinder is fixedly installed in a circumferential array inside the groove. The lifting plate is fixedly installed between the telescopic ends of the load-bearing hydraulic cylinder. The load-bearing hydraulic cylinder not only facilitates the height adjustment of the lifting plate, but also provides load-bearing support for the lifting plate during forging, which facilitates the forging process of the steel billet.
[0006] Preferably, the base is symmetrically fixed with fixing feet on both sides, and the center point of the support plate and the bearing turntable are on the same straight line. The fixing feet facilitate the installation of the base.
[0007] Preferably, the upper surface of the lifting plate is provided with a concave groove, the bearing turntable is rotatably installed inside the concave groove, and a servo motor is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the lifting plate. The output end of the servo motor is fixedly connected to the lower end of the bearing turntable. The concave groove facilitates the installation of the bearing turntable, and during use, the servo motor drives the bearing turntable to rotate inside the concave groove, which facilitates the rotation of the steel billet on the bearing turntable and makes it convenient to adjust the clamping position.
[0008] Preferably, L-shaped guide rods are fixedly installed on both sides of the motor frame. The guide rods are inserted into the support plate to improve the radial bearing capacity when clamping the steel billet and reduce the radial force on the telescopic rod of the telescopic cylinder.
[0009] Preferably, a bearing sleeve is fixedly installed on both sides of the support plate, and the guide rod is inserted into the bearing sleeve. One end of the guide rod has a T-shaped structure. The bearing sleeve facilitates the guidance of the guide rod and the bearing of radial force.
[0010] Preferably, the clamping turntable has anti-slip texture on one side opposite to the main plate, the clamping turntable has a disc-shaped structure, and the lowermost end of the clamping turntable is on the same horizontal plane as the upper surface of the supporting turntable, thereby increasing the friction between the clamping turntable and the steel billet and improving the stability during flipping.
[0011] Preferably, one side of the support plate is symmetrically equipped with reinforcing ribs, which are triangular in structure, and the lower end of the reinforcing rib is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base. The reinforcing ribs improve the stability and deformation resistance of the connection between the support plate and the base.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the lifting bearing turntable drives the steel billet to rotate, which makes it easy to adjust the position of the clamping turntable on the steel billet. After the clamping turntable clamps the steel billet, the bearing turntable descends and the clamping turntable rotates the clamped steel billet to achieve the effect of flipping. Furthermore, by adjusting different clamping positions, the flipping direction can be flexibly adjusted, which improves the uniformity of force on the steel billet during forging, increases the flipping efficiency, and reduces the labor intensity of the operators.
