Abstract

This utility model provides a frame diversion and transfer device. A bridge crane lifts a frame containing pickled steel pipes onto an automated guided vehicle (AGV) on a track. The AAV moves towards a transfer and rinsing platform. A crane on the transfer and rinsing platform lifts the steel pipes from the frame for rinsing. The AAV moves the empty frame above a first lifting mechanism. The first lifting mechanism drives the AAV to descend, entering the transfer channel. It then moves along the track on the transfer channel to a second lifting mechanism, transferring the frame to a frame collection area on one side of the rinsing platform. The AAV, with the cooperation of the first and second lifting mechanisms, returns to its initial position, achieving continuous frame transfer. This invention does not affect the rinsing of the steel pipes while simultaneously achieving the transfer function of the frame, greatly improving the production efficiency of the steel pipes.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of work frame diversion and transfer, and in particular to a work frame diversion and transfer device. Background Technology

[0002] To remove impurities such as oxide scale, rust, and oil from the surface of steel pipes, pickling is required. Typically, the pipes are placed in a pickling frame and then immersed in a pickling tank. After pickling, the pipes are lifted by a crane to a rinsing platform for cleaning. The frame used to support the pipes needs to be reused and transferred to a collection area on one side of the rinsing platform. The traditional method involves setting up a mobile trolley on the rinsing platform. The frame carrying the pipes falls onto the trolley and is then moved to the rinsing platform. A crane then lifts the pipes from the frame for rinsing. Because the rinsing platform needs to provide temporary storage and cleaning space for the pipes, the mobile trolley cannot easily return to its initial position to receive the frames containing the pipes, making continuous operation impossible.

[0032] To better explain and facilitate understanding of this utility model, the present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0033] Please refer to Figures 1 to 2 This utility model provides a work frame diversion and transfer device, including a transfer and washing platform 1, a bridge crane 3, an automatic guide transport vehicle 2, a first lifting mechanism 4 and a second lifting mechanism 6;

[0034] The transfer and rinsing platform 1 is respectively provided with an inlet and an outlet.

[0035] A transfer channel is provided between the inlet and outlet of the frame;

[0036] The first lifting mechanism 4 and the second lifting mechanism 6 are respectively installed in the inlet and outlet of the frame;

[0037] The surfaces of the transfer washing platform 1, the first lifting mechanism 4, the second lifting mechanism 6, and the bottom of the transfer channel are all equipped with tracks 8 for the automatic guided transport vehicle 2 to travel on.

[0038] The bridge crane 3 is used to lift the material frame and move it to the automatic guide transport vehicle 2 on the first lifting mechanism 4;

[0039] In use, the bridge crane 3 lifts the pickled steel pipe-filled material frame onto the automatic guide transport vehicle 2 on the track 8. The automatic guide transport vehicle 2 moves towards the transfer and rinsing platform 1. The crane on the transfer and rinsing platform 1 lifts the steel pipe in the material frame for rinsing. The automatic guide transport vehicle 2 moves the empty material frame above the first lifting mechanism 4. The first lifting mechanism 4 drives the automatic guide transport vehicle 2 to descend, so that it enters the transfer channel and moves to the second lifting mechanism 6 using the track 8 on the transfer channel. Under the action of the second lifting mechanism 6, the automatic guide transport vehicle 2 rises, so that the material frame is transferred to the material frame collection area on one side of the rinsing platform. The automatic guide transport vehicle 2 can return to the initial position with the cooperation of the first lifting mechanism 4 and the second lifting mechanism 6 to achieve continuous material frame transfer.

[0040] In this embodiment, both the first lifting mechanism 4 and the second lifting mechanism 6 are scissor lifts.

[0041] In this embodiment, a transfer lifting mechanism 5 is also included, which is located in the middle of the transfer channel;

[0042] The purpose of setting up the transfer lifting mechanism 5 is to lift the material frame on the automatic guide vehicle 2 so that the automatic guide vehicle 2 can be inspected and maintained.

[0043] In this embodiment, the upper surfaces of the first lifting mechanism 4 and the second lifting mechanism 6 are both connected to the track 8 via pressure sensor 7, and the pressure sensor 7 and the automatic guided transport vehicle 2 are both electrically connected to the PLC controller.

[0044] During use, the pressure sensor 7 determines whether the automatic guide conveyor is on the track 8 of the first lifting mechanism 4 or the second lifting mechanism 6, thereby improving the accuracy of equipment operation.

[0045] In this embodiment, a limit baffle 9 is provided at the end of the guide rail on the upper surface of the first lifting mechanism 4 to prevent the automatic guided transport vehicle 2 from detaching from the guide rail on the upper surface of the first lifting mechanism 4.

[0046] In this embodiment, a rinsing pool is provided on the upper surface of the transfer rinsing platform 1.

[0047] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0048] The bridge crane 3 lifts the pickled steel pipe-filled material frame onto the automatic guide transport vehicle 2 on the track 8. The automatic guide transport vehicle 2 moves towards the transfer and washing platform 1. The crane on the transfer and washing platform 1 lifts the steel pipes in the material frame for washing. The automatic guide transport vehicle 2 moves the empty material frame above the first lifting mechanism 4. The first lifting mechanism 4 drives the automatic guide transport vehicle 2 to descend, so that it enters the transfer channel and moves to the second lifting mechanism 6 using the track 8 on the transfer channel. Under the action of the second lifting mechanism 6, the automatic guide transport vehicle 2 rises, so that the material frame is transferred to the material frame collection area on one side of the washing platform. The automatic guide transport vehicle 2 can return to the initial position with the cooperation of the first lifting mechanism 4 and the second lifting mechanism 6, realizing continuous material frame transfer. This application does not affect the washing operation of steel pipes, but can realize the transfer function of material frames, greatly improving the production efficiency of steel pipes.
