Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of workpiece processing technology, and in particular to a material turning machine. Background Technology

[0002] During the workpiece manufacturing process, rust and corrosion prevention treatment on the workpiece surface typically involves coating the surface with a film. Currently, existing coating processes generally employ a three-step process: impregnation, centrifugation, and drying. The workpieces to be processed are stacked inside a cylinder, which is then filled with a coating tank. The coating passes through the cylinder's pores, impregnating the workpiece. Once the workpiece surface is coated, the cylinder is removed and placed in a centrifuge for centrifugation. This impregnation-centrifugation process can be repeated several times depending on the required coating thickness, until a uniform film of thickness is formed on the workpiece. Finally, the cylinder is removed, tilted, and the workpiece is transferred to the drying line's feed chute for drying.

[0003] Currently, existing tilting cylinders for transferring workpieces to the drying conveyor typically require manual labor and the use of a robotic arm to effectively hold the cylinder during tilting, or a hoisting structure where the cylinder is lifted into the air and one side is lifted using a wire rope linkage to tilt it, allowing the workpiece to fall into the drying production line conveyor. During these tilting processes, it is necessary to maintain effective positioning and gripping or traction of the cylinder while simultaneously allowing space for the workpiece to fall, avoiding obstruction. To address this need, it is necessary to design a tilting machine that can effectively perform the tilting operation, has a simple mechanical structure, and does not obstruct the workpiece's descent. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is: in order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides a material turning machine with a simple and reasonable mechanical structure. The positioning process of the material cylinder will not hinder the falling of the workpiece. The production cost and operating cost are low and the material turning operation is convenient and quick.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a material turning machine for tilting workpieces from a material cylinder onto the material channel of a drying production line, including a frame, a turning hopper, and a power mechanism; the turning hopper is hinged on the frame and controlled by the power mechanism to reciprocate relative to the frame; the turning hopper is provided with a turning flow channel, and a placement platform for placing the material cylinder is provided at the bottom of the turning hopper corresponding to the turning flow channel; the turning hopper has a baffle above the material cylinder to prevent the material cylinder from sliding and falling off along the turning flow channel during turning.

[0006] Furthermore, to facilitate the lateral transfer of the material cylinder from the tipping hopper into the tipping hopper, the radial cross-section of the tipping hopper channel is arc-shaped, and the baffles are adjustablely installed at both ends of the arc-shaped structure of the tipping hopper channel. The material cylinder can be horizontally inserted from the opening of the arc-shaped structure without hoisting, making the transfer process of the material cylinder more convenient and faster.

[0007] Furthermore, the arc-shaped structure of the hopper flow channel has supports fixed to the outer ends of both ends, and the middle section of the baffle is hinged to the supports. A tilting cylinder is installed below the corresponding support of the frame. The tilting cylinder is fixed to the frame by a cylinder bracket, and its output end is hinged to one end of the baffle. The other end of the baffle rotates relative to the hinge point under the control of the tilting cylinder and presses against the outer edge of the top of the material cylinder. The action of the tilting cylinder drives the baffle to rotate and press against the outer edge of the top of the material cylinder. This pressing structure positions the material cylinder and the hopper placement platform, preventing the material cylinder from sliding down the hopper flow channel when the hopper rotates. Simultaneously, the baffle is pressed against the outer edge of the top of the material cylinder, and this position is relatively high in space during the hopper's rotation and unloading process, ensuring that it does not interfere with or obstruct the workpiece's descent.

[0008] Furthermore, the baffle has a Z-shaped structure. One end of the Z-shaped structure is hinged to the output end of the tilting cylinder, the middle part of the Z-shaped structure is hinged to the support of the outer wall of the tilting hopper, and the other end of the Z-shaped structure is pressed into the material cylinder under the control of the tilting cylinder.

[0009] Furthermore, the baffle has several spaced hinge holes at the middle to the end of the Z-shaped structure, and the support of the outer wall of the tipping hopper is hinged to the baffle through any one of the hinge holes. The spaced hinge holes allow for selection as needed during actual installation, and the hinge position is controllable, thus enabling fine-tuning of the baffle's pressing position based on the height of the material cylinder.

[0010] Preferably, the power mechanism includes a cylinder support and a tilting cylinder. The cylinder support is fixed on the frame, the tilting cylinder is fixedly connected to the frame through the cylinder support, and the output end of the tilting cylinder is hinged to the outer wall of the tilting hopper.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are that the material turning machine provided by this utility model has a simple and reasonable structural design. It uses a turning cylinder to provide the turning power for the turning hopper, and completes the turning operation through the hinged rotation process of the turning hopper. At the same time, during this process, the cooperation between the turning cylinder and the baffle can effectively press and position the material cylinder, preventing the material cylinder from loosening during the turning process. The material cylinder is reliably positioned, and the baffle presses against the top edge of the material cylinder, so it will not obstruct the falling of the workpiece. Attached Figure Description

[0017] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the present invention. Therefore, they only show the components relevant to the present invention. Orientations and references (e.g., up, down, left, right, etc.) are only used to aid in the description of the features in the drawings. Therefore, the following specific embodiments are not intended to be restrictive, and the scope of the claimed subject matter is defined solely by the appended claims and their equivalents.

[0018] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 The shown material turning machine is the preferred embodiment of this utility model. This material turning machine is used to tilt workpieces from the material cylinder 3 onto the material channel of the drying production line.

[0019] Specifically, the system includes a frame 10, a tipping hopper 2, and a power mechanism. The frame 10 adopts a frame-type structural design and can be constructed using welded steel profiles. The power mechanism includes a cylinder support 12 and a tipping cylinder 11. The cylinder support 12 is fixed to the frame 10, and the tipping cylinder 11 is positioned relative to the frame 10 via the cylinder support 12. Above the output end of the tipping cylinder 11, the frame 10 has a support frame 9 for supporting the tipping hopper 2. A hinge seat 14 is located above the support frame 9, and the tipping hopper 2 is hinged to the frame 10 via the hinge seat 14. A tipping positioning seat 13 is also fixed to the outer wall of the tipping hopper 2, and the output end of the tipping cylinder 11 is hinged to the tipping positioning seat 13 on the outer wall of the tipping hopper 2. When the tipping cylinder 11 operates, it drives the tipping hopper 2 to reciprocate relative to the hinge seat 14. Rotating the top of the tipping cylinder 11 downwards tilts the hopper, and rotating it upwards resets it. When the tilting cylinder 11 has no power output, the support frame 9 supports the bottom of the tilting hopper 2, keeping the axis of the tilting hopper 2 perpendicular to the horizontal plane.

[0020] The tipping hopper 2 is equipped with a tipping channel 1. A placement platform 7 for placing the feeding cylinder 3 is located at the bottom of the tipping hopper 2 corresponding to the tipping channel 1. Above the feeding cylinder 3, the tipping hopper 2 has a baffle 4 to prevent the feeding cylinder 3 from sliding and falling off along the tipping channel 1 during tipping. The radial cross-section of the tipping hopper 2 is arc-shaped, and the baffle 4 is adjustablely positioned at both ends of the arc-shaped structure. The feeding cylinder 3 can be horizontally inserted through the opening of the arc-shaped structure without hoisting, making the transfer of the feeding cylinder 3 more convenient and faster.

[0021] In the actual design, the movement between the baffle 4 and the tipping hopper 2 can be controlled by hinged connection via the tilting cylinder 6. Specifically, supports 5 are fixed to the outer ends of the arc-shaped flow channel structure of the tipping hopper 2, and the middle section of the baffle 4 is hinged to the supports 5. Specifically, as shown... Figure 3 As shown, a tilting cylinder 6 is provided below the corresponding support of the frame 10, and the tilting cylinder 6 is fixed to the frame 10 by a cylinder bracket 8. The baffle 4 can be designed as a Z-shaped structure, wherein one end of the Z-shaped structure is hinged to the output end of the tilting cylinder 6, the middle part of the Z-shaped structure is hinged to the support 5 on the outer wall of the tilting hopper 2, and the other end is pressed and positioned by the lowering cylinder 3 under the control of the tilting cylinder 6. The baffle 4 rotates relative to the hinge point under the control of the tilting cylinder 6 and presses against the outer edge of the top of the cylinder 3.

[0022] like Figure 3 As shown, the baffle 4 has three spaced hinge holes 15 at the middle to the end of the Z-shaped structure. In actual installation, any one of the hinge holes 15 can be selected to hinge the support 5 on the outer wall of the tipping hopper 2 to the baffle 4 as needed. The multi-hole design facilitates fine-tuning of the installation position according to the height of the material cylinder 3 during actual assembly, and allows for adjustment of the rotation and pressing position of the baffle 4 as required.

[0023] During operation, initially, the tilting cylinder 11 is not powered, and the tilting hopper 2 is supported by the support frame 9. Then, the material cylinder 3 is transferred to the platform of the tilting hopper 2. The tilting cylinder 6 actuates, causing the baffle 4 to rotate. After rotating, the baffle 4 presses against the outer edge of the top of the material cylinder 3, positioning the material cylinder 3 with the placement platform 7 of the tilting hopper 2. The tilting cylinder 11 actuates, and its output end actuates, causing the top of the tilting hopper 2 to rotate and press down. The material cylinder 3, located inside the tilting hopper 2, rotates synchronously with the tilting hopper 2. Under the action of gravity, the workpiece slides out of the material cylinder 3 and slides along the tilting flow channel 1 of the tilting hopper 2 until it falls onto the material channel of the drying production line.

[0024] During this process, the structural design of the baffle 4 effectively prevents the material cylinder 3 from sliding down the flow channel of the tipping hopper 2 when the tipping hopper 2 is hinged and rotated. At the same time, the baffle 4 is pressed against the outer edge of the top of the material cylinder 3. First, this position will not interfere with the falling of the workpiece. Even if the end of the baffle 4 extends relative to the outer edge of the material cylinder 3 in the direction of the axis of the material cylinder 3, since the position of the baffle 4 is relatively above the arc-shaped structure of the flow channel during the rotation and material feeding of the tipping hopper 2, this position will still not interfere with or obstruct the falling of the workpiece. Therefore, the tipping and material feeding can be effectively carried out without causing obstruction.

[0025] Compared to traditional manual turning, clamping turning, and hoisting turning, the turning machine with this design can complete the rotation and positioning of the material cylinder 3 by using two hinged structures. The structure is reasonable, the production cost is low, and the turning process is convenient and fast, which has wide application value.

[0026] Based on the above-described preferred embodiments of this utility model, and through the foregoing description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical concept of this utility model. The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
