Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metal rod processing technology, and specifically to a transfer device for moving metal rods. Background Technology

[0002] Metal bars are raw materials used to process other metal workpieces. Depending on the processing requirements, their diameter is generally between 10-50 cm.

[0003] Existing metal bar transfer devices use transfer trolleys equipped with lifting tools to move and transfer metal bars individually, with a transfer efficiency of 10 pieces / hour. This results in low transfer efficiency for metal bars. However, when transferring multiple metal bars, collisions occur between them, leading to scratches or damage on the surface. This affects the subsequent processing quality of the metal bars and also impacts the overall quality of the metal bars during operation. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned defects or deficiencies in the prior art, it is desirable to provide a transfer device for moving metal bars, which solves the technical problems of low efficiency of existing metal bar transfer devices through hoisting and the collision damage caused by simultaneous transfer of multiple metal bars.

[0005] According to the technical solution provided in the embodiments of this application, a transfer device for moving metal bars includes a transfer trolley;

[0006] An adjustment mechanism is installed between the base of the transfer trolley and the support plate to adjust the transfer height of the support plate;

[0007] Several clamping mechanisms are arranged side by side and spaced apart along the length of the support plate for clamping the metal rods to be transferred.

[0008] The clamping mechanism includes several clamping rods and several cylinders, with each cylinder nested in sequence. Each clamping rod is installed at the output port of the cylinder, and the cylinder located at the air supply end is connected to an air pump through an air supply pipe so that the air pump outputs negative pressure gas, thereby driving each cylinder to move in sync and clamp and fix the metal rod placed between each clamping rod.

[0009] Furthermore, each of the cylinders is also equipped with a corresponding return element, which is a metal spring.

[0010] Furthermore, corresponding elastic blocks are installed on both sides of the clamping rod to increase the friction between the clamping rod and the metal rod contact surface.

[0011] Furthermore, the clamping mechanism is installed in a corresponding groove on the support plate.

[0012] Furthermore, the adjustment mechanism includes several support rods, connecting rods, and telescopic drive components. The support rods are divided into two groups and are connected in pairs. The connecting rod is installed in the middle of the cross-connected support rods. The middle position of the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the output end of the telescopic drive component, so that the telescopic drive component drives the connecting rod to move upward, thereby causing the cross-connected support rods to reduce the cross angle and adjust the cross height.

[0013] Furthermore, the base is provided with a storage slot for storing the adjustment mechanism.

[0014] Furthermore, corresponding infrared sensors are installed around the base, and these infrared sensors are used to identify obstacles during the movement of the base, preventing collisions during the transfer process.

[0015] Furthermore, the adjustment mechanism also includes eight guide rods, which are divided into two groups. One group is installed in the storage groove on the base, and the other group is installed at the bottom of the support plate. Each guide rod is equipped with a corresponding slider, and each slider is movably connected to the corresponding support rod, so that when the telescopic drive member drives the connecting rod to rise, the bottom of each cross-connected support rod moves along the corresponding guide rod.

[0016] In summary, the beneficial effects of this application are as follows:

[0017] 1. By setting an interlocking clamping mechanism on the support plate of the transfer trolley on the transfer device, the cylinders on the clamping mechanism are stacked and connected, and contracted under the compression of the negative pressure air source delivered by the air supply pipe, so that the clamping rods installed at the front end of each cylinder are linked and retracted, and the metal rod placed between the two clamping rods is clamped and fixed, preventing collisions during the transfer process, reducing the damage rate by 70%, and improving the transfer efficiency of metal rods by 80%.

[0018] Second, by setting an adjustment mechanism between the base and the support plate of the transfer trolley, the angle of the cross-connection of several support rods on the adjustment mechanism can be adjusted under the drive of the telescopic drive component, and the support height of the support rods can be adjusted so that the support plate can be adjusted according to the transfer needs, thereby improving the ease of use of the transfer device.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the relevant utility model and not intended to limit the scope of the utility model. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts relevant to the utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0026] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. This application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0027] A transfer device for moving metal bars, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, it includes a transfer trolley 100, which drives the wheels of the transfer trolley 100 to rotate via a motor, thereby enabling the transfer trolley 100 to move and transfer the metal rod.

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the adjustment mechanism 130 is installed between the base 110 and the support plate 120 of the transfer trolley 100. The adjustment mechanism 130 includes several support rods 131, connecting rods 132, and telescopic drive components 133. The support rods 131 are divided into two groups and are cross-connected in pairs. The connecting rods 132 are installed in the middle of the four cross-connected support rods 131 located at the bottom. The middle position of the connecting rod 132 is fixedly connected to the output end of the telescopic drive component 133. The telescopic drive component 133 adopts hydraulic lifting. The adjustment mechanism 130 also includes eight guide rods 134, which are divided into two groups. One group is installed in the storage slot on the base 110. Inside, another set is installed at the bottom of the support plate 120, and each guide rod 134 is equipped with a corresponding slider. Each slider is movably connected to the corresponding support rod 131, so that when the telescopic drive member 133 drives the connecting rod 132 to rise, the bottom of each cross-connected support rod 131 moves along the corresponding guide rod 134, thereby driving the cross-connected support rods 131 to reduce the cross angle and adjust the cross height of each support rod 131, thereby adjusting the height of the support plate 120. This allows the transfer trolley 100 to adjust the transfer and handling height according to the transfer needs of the metal rods, thereby improving the convenience of the transfer device for the metal rods.

[0029] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, several clamping mechanisms 140 are arranged side-by-side and spaced apart in each slide groove along the length of the support plate 120. Each clamping mechanism 140 includes several clamping rods 141 and several cylinders 142. The cylinders 142 are stacked sequentially, and each clamping rod 141 is installed at the output port of each cylinder 142. The cylinder 142 located at the air supply end is connected to an air pump through an air supply pipe. Each cylinder 142 is also equipped with a corresponding return element 144, which is a metal spring. This allows the air pump to output negative pressure gas, thereby driving each cylinder 142 to move synchronously. Under the compression of the negative pressure gas, each cylinder 142 moves synchronously to contract, thereby causing the clamping rods 141 installed at the ends of each cylinder 142 to retract. This clamps and fixes the metal rod placed between the clamping rods 141, preventing collisions during transportation and improving the transportation efficiency of the metal rod.

[0030] like Figure 4 As shown, corresponding elastic blocks 143 are installed on both sides of the clamping rod 141. The elastic blocks 143 are made of rubber and are used to increase the friction between the clamping rod 141 and the metal rod contact surface.

[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the base 110 is provided with a storage slot, which is a rectangular slot used to store the adjustment mechanism 130 after it is folded up.

[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, corresponding infrared sensors 150 are installed around the base 110. The infrared sensors 150 are used to identify obstacles during the movement of the base 110, so as to prevent the transfer trolley 100 from having a collision during the transfer process.

[0033] The working principle of the transfer device for moving metal rods according to this utility model is as follows:

[0034] In the process of transferring metal bars by the transfer trolley 100 on the transfer device, traditional transfer devices use suspension tools to move the metal bars. However, suspension can only suspend a single bar at a time, thus affecting the transfer efficiency and quality. Therefore, by setting an interlocking clamping mechanism 140 on the support plate 120 of the transfer trolley 100, the cylinders 142 on the clamping mechanism 140 are stacked and connected. After the air pump is started, a negative pressure air source is supplied to the air pipe, causing the cylinders 142 to contract. This causes the clamping rods 141 installed at the front end of each cylinder 142 to retract in unison, clamping and fixing the metal bar placed between the two clamping rods 141. Simultaneously, the elastic blocks 143 installed on each clamping rod 141 deform during clamping, increasing the friction between the clamping rods 141 and the metal bar, preventing collisions during transfer, thereby improving the transfer efficiency and quality. Meanwhile, by setting an adjustment mechanism 130 between the base 110 and the support plate 120 of the transfer trolley 100, the angle of the cross-connection of several cross-connected support rods 131 on the adjustment mechanism 130 is adjusted under the drive of the telescopic drive member 133, and the support height of the support rods 131 is also adjusted. This allows the support plate 120 to be adjusted in height according to the transfer needs, thereby improving the ease of use of the transfer device. Simultaneously, corresponding infrared sensors 150 are installed around the base 110 of the transfer trolley 100 to allow the infrared sensors 150 to avoid obstacles during the movement of the trolley, preventing collisions during transfer and thus improving the transfer quality of the metal rods.

[0035] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and an explanation of the technical principles and solutions employed. Furthermore, the scope of the utility model involved in this application is not limited to the specific combination of the above-described technical features, but should also cover other technical solutions formed by any combination of the above-described technical features or their equivalents without departing from the inventive concept. For example, technical solutions formed by substituting the above features with (but not limited to) technical features with similar functions disclosed in this application.
