Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of auxiliary equipment technology for steel production, specifically a discharge mechanism suitable for high-temperature steel billets. Background Technology
[0002] In the steel production process, the discharge and transport of high-temperature steel billets are crucial steps. Traditional high-temperature steel billet discharge mechanisms typically employ a design with bends, based on the requirements of the actual production layout and process flow in the factory. With numerous pieces of equipment and limited space within the factory, it is difficult to arrange the billet transport path entirely in a straight line. Incorporating bends allows the discharge mechanism to better adapt to the complex workshop environment, rationally plan space, and flexibly transport the billets from the continuous casting machine to different processing equipment and storage areas.
[0003] However, traditional curved conveyor designs have several drawbacks. Curved conveyors increase the length of the conveyor path, occupying more factory space and hindering a compact factory layout and efficient equipment arrangement. Furthermore, conveying billets at curves requires more complex equipment and control systems, increasing equipment costs and maintenance complexity. In addition, curved conveyors can lead to collisions and jams during transport, affecting production efficiency and billet quality.
[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a discharge mechanism suitable for high-temperature steel billets to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a discharge mechanism suitable for high-temperature steel billets, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0007] A discharge mechanism suitable for high-temperature steel billets includes a frame. A first roller conveyor using existing technology is provided at the upper end of the frame, and a second roller conveyor and a third roller conveyor using existing technology are provided at the front end of the frame. The second roller conveyor and the third roller conveyor are respectively located on both sides of the front end of the frame. Support legs are fixedly connected to the lower ends of the second roller conveyor and the third roller conveyor near both ends, and the height of the support legs is the same as the height of the frame.
[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model: guide rod one, guide rod two, and lead screw are equally spaced within the frame. Guide rod one and guide rod two are located on both sides of the lead screw. Guide rod one and guide rod two are fixedly connected to the frame, and the lead screw is rotatably connected to the frame.
[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the lower end of the first roller conveyor is fixedly connected with a first connecting plate, a second connecting plate and a third connecting plate at equal intervals, and the positions of the first connecting plate, the second connecting plate and the third connecting plate correspond to the first guide rod, the lead screw and the second guide rod in sequence.
[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: two sliding guide posts are fixedly connected to the lower ends of the first connecting plate and the third connecting plate, and the sliding guide posts are slidably connected to the corresponding guide rods one and two.
[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the lower end of the second connecting plate is fixedly connected to two threaded guide posts, and both threaded guide posts are threadedly connected to the lead screw.
[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model: a drive motor is fixedly installed on one side of the frame, and the output shaft of the drive motor is fixedly connected to the lead screw through a coupling.
[0013] As a further improvement of this utility model: a laser beam sensor transmitter is embedded on one side of the first roller conveyor near the front end, and a laser beam sensor receiver is embedded on the opposite side.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0015] Space saving: This utility model abandons the traditional curved conveyor design and adopts a combination of straight conveyor and movable first roller conveyor, which greatly reduces the space required for the conveyor path, makes the factory layout more compact, and reduces the factory construction and leasing costs.
[0016] Cost reduction: It reduces the complexity of equipment and control required for curved conveyor, thereby lowering the purchase cost and maintenance difficulty of the equipment; at the same time, the relatively simple structure of the movable first roller conveyor further reduces equipment costs.
[0017] Improved production efficiency: By accurately sensing the position of the steel billet using a laser beam sensor, automated control of the billet transport is achieved, reducing manual intervention and improving production efficiency. During transport, the steel billet can be quickly and accurately transferred from one roller conveyor to another, avoiding problems such as collisions and jams that may occur in traditional curved conveyor transport. By controlling the forward and reverse rotation of the drive motor, the first roller conveyor can switch docking positions with the second and third roller conveyors, realizing continuous transport of the steel billet and improving the continuity and stability of production.

Detailed Implementation
[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] Example 1: Refer to Figures 1-4 This embodiment provides a discharge mechanism suitable for high-temperature steel billets, including a frame 1. The upper end of the frame 1 is provided with a first roller conveyor 2 using existing technology. The front end of the frame 1 is provided with a second roller conveyor 3 and a third roller conveyor 4 using existing technology. The second roller conveyor 3 and the third roller conveyor 4 are respectively located on both sides of the front end of the frame 1. The lower ends of the second roller conveyor 3 and the third roller conveyor 4 are fixedly connected to the two ends with support legs 9. The height of the support legs 9 is the same as the height of the frame 1.
[0025] Example 2: Refer to Figures 1-4This embodiment is based on the previous embodiment, but differs in that guide rod 5, guide rod 7, and lead screw 6 are equally spaced within the frame 1. Guide rod 5 and guide rod 7 are located on both sides of lead screw 6. Guide rod 5 and guide rod 7 are fixedly connected to the frame 1, while lead screw 6 is rotatably connected to the frame 1. A first connecting plate 12, a second connecting plate 13, and a third connecting plate 14 are equally spaced and fixedly connected to the lower end of the first roller conveyor 2. The positions of the first connecting plate 12, the second connecting plate 13, and the third connecting plate 14 correspond sequentially to guide rod 5, lead screw 6, and guide rod 7. Two sliding guide posts 15 are fixedly connected to the lower ends of the first connecting plate 12 and the third connecting plate 14. The sliding guide posts 15 are slidably connected to the corresponding guide rods 5 and 7. Two threaded guide posts 16 are fixedly connected to the lower end of the second connecting plate 13. Both threaded guide posts 16 are threadedly connected to the lead screw 6. A drive motor 8 is fixedly installed on one side of the frame 1. The output shaft of the drive motor 8 is fixedly connected to the lead screw 6 through a coupling. A laser beam sensor transmitter 10 is embedded on the side of the first roller conveyor 2 near the front end, and a laser beam sensor receiver 11 is embedded on the opposite side.
[0026] Working principle: The second roller conveyor 3 and the third roller conveyor 4 are respectively connected to the continuous casting machine and the heating furnace. After the steel billet comes out of the continuous casting machine, it is conveyed to the first roller conveyor 2 via the second roller conveyor 3. The first roller conveyor 2 has a laser beam sensor transmitter 10 embedded on one side near the front end and a laser beam sensor receiver 11 embedded on the other side. When the steel billet passes through the laser beam sensor, it will block the laser beam. The laser beam sensor detects the presence of the steel billet. When the steel billet has completely passed through the laser beam sensor, it indicates that... The steel billet has fully entered the first roller conveyor 2. At this time, the laser beam sensor sends a signal to the external controller. After receiving the signal, the external controller stops the first roller conveyor 2, causing the steel billet to remain on it. Simultaneously, the drive motor 8 is started. The output shaft of the drive motor 8 is fixedly connected to the lead screw 6 via a coupling, driving the lead screw 6 to rotate. The lower end of the first roller conveyor 2 is connected to guide rod 5, lead screw 6, and guide rod 7 via the first connecting plate 12, the second connecting plate 13, and the third connecting plate 14. The sliding guide post 15 at the lower end of the first connecting plate 12 and the third connecting plate 14 is slidably connected to the first guide rod 5 and the second guide rod 7. The threaded guide post 16 at the lower end of the second connecting plate 13 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 6. When the lead screw 6 rotates, it drives the first roller conveyor 2 to move along the first guide rod 5 and the second guide rod 7 through threaded transmission, so that the first roller conveyor 2 docks with the third roller conveyor 4. After the first roller conveyor 2 docks with the third roller conveyor 4, the first roller conveyor 2 is restarted to transport the billet to the third roller conveyor 4. The three-roller conveyor 4 transports the billet to the heating furnace. When the billet has completely passed the laser beam sensor, it means that the billet has left the first roller conveyor 2 and entered the third roller conveyor 4. At this time, the laser beam sensor sends a signal to the external controller again. After receiving the signal, the external controller controls the drive motor 8 to reverse, which drives the lead screw 6 to rotate in the opposite direction, so that the first roller conveyor 2 returns to the position of docking with the second roller conveyor 3, preparing for the conveying of the next billet. This cycle is repeated to form a continuous billet conveying process.
