Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of mechanical manufacturing and hot working technology, specifically an automatic material unloading device for hot die forging production. Background Technology
[0002] An automatic unloading device for hot forging production is a piece of equipment used in the hot forging production process that can automatically complete unloading operations such as transferring heated billets from the loading position to the forging die, and removing the forgings from the die and transferring them to a designated position after forging.
[0003] The specific design and structure of automatic unloading devices for hot forging production may vary depending on the manufacturer and application requirements, but generally they include the following key components: main frame, hopper, and conveying structure. The main frame is usually constructed from robust metal profiles to form a stable three-dimensional structure that supports the entire device. The overall frame structure is designed in a relatively regular shape according to the layout of components such as the robotic arm and hopper. The hopper and conveying structure are located near the hot forging equipment and include a hopper for storing billets. The hopper is generally funnel-shaped, with a larger upper opening for feeding and a smaller lower opening that connects to the conveying channel. The hopper is made of high-temperature resistant and wear-resistant metal materials, and the surface may have some reinforced textures or plates. The conveying channel can be a pipe-like structure or an open slide with a smooth inner wall to ensure that the billet can slide down smoothly.
[0004] To achieve the tilting of the hopper box in existing automatic unloading devices for hot forging production, a separate and complex power system and transmission mechanism are required to drive the tilting action, resulting in a complex equipment structure. In hot forging production, different materials and different processes have different requirements for the tilting angle of the hopper box. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies and address the problems of existing equipment, this utility model proposes an automatic unloading device for hot forging production.
[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is an automatic unloading device for hot forging production, including a tilting frame. Two transmission rollers are arranged at the top of the tilting frame, and rotating rods are rotatably mounted on each of the two transmission rollers. Toothed driven wheels are arranged on each of the two rotating rods. Motor brackets are arranged on both sides of the tilting frame, and transmission motors are mounted on both of the two motor brackets. Toothed transmission wheels are arranged on the output ends of both transmission motors, and transmission chains are sleeved on the toothed transmission wheels and toothed driven wheels. Two guide rails are arranged on each of the two support pillars of the tilting frame, and transmission blocks are slidably arranged on both sets of guide rails. Fixed blocks are arranged on each of the two transmission blocks, and each of the two fixed blocks is fixed to a transmission chain.
[0007] Preferably, each of the two transmission blocks is provided with a flipping plate, and a flipping rod is rotatably arranged between the two flipping plates. A mounting block is provided on the flipping rod, and a hopper box is provided on the mounting block. The cooperation of the flipping plate and the flipping rod enables the hopper box to flip, thereby accurately pouring the material into the designated position. This design cleverly utilizes the motion principle of the mechanical structure to realize the automated material pouring process, improve production efficiency, and reduce the labor intensity and error of manual operation.
[0008] Preferably, both ends of the flipping rod are provided with fixing frames, each fixing frame is provided with a mounting plate, each mounting plate is provided with a fixing cylinder, and each output end of the fixing cylinder is provided with a positioning plate. The fixing cylinders and positioning plates can fix and position the material when the hopper is loaded with material, preventing the material from shaking or falling during transportation and flipping. This helps to ensure the integrity and safety of the material and avoids environmental pollution and material waste caused by material spillage.
[0009] Preferably, both transmission blocks are provided with sliding holes, and both ends of the tilting rod are fixedly provided with tilting gears. The two tilting gears are respectively set in the sliding holes opened on one of the transmission blocks. The two pillars of the tilting frame are provided with tilting racks. After the two tilting gears move upward to a certain position, they mesh with the tilting racks for transmission. When the transmission block drives the tilting gears on the tilting rod to move upward to a certain position, the tilting gears mesh with the tilting racks for transmission, realizing the automatic tilting of the hopper box. This design does not require an additional power device to drive the hopper box to tilt, which simplifies the structure of the equipment and reduces the manufacturing cost and maintenance difficulty of the equipment.
[0010] Preferably, the tilting frame is equipped with a feeding hopper, the feeding hopper is equipped with a second motor bracket, and the second motor bracket is equipped with a vibration motor. The feeding hopper facilitates the centralized feeding of materials, and the vibration motor keeps the materials in a uniform flow state before entering the hopper box. Through vibration, the accumulation or blockage of materials in the hopper can be avoided, ensuring that the materials can enter the hopper box smoothly, thus improving the feeding efficiency and uniformity.
[0011] Preferably, both the drive motor and the vibration motor are electrically connected to an external power source, which provides stable power to the device's transmission system.
[0012] The advantages of this invention are as follows: when the transmission block drives the flipping gear on the flipping rod to move upward to a certain position, the flipping gear meshes with the flipping rack to achieve automatic flipping of the hopper box. This design eliminates the need for an additional power device to drive the hopper box to flip, simplifying the structure of the equipment, reducing manufacturing costs and maintenance difficulty. By rationally designing the parameters of the flipping gear and the flipping rack, the flipping angle of the hopper box can be precisely controlled. According to different hot forging production requirements, the flipping angle can be adjusted to ensure that the material can be completely poured out and to avoid material splashing or spilling, thus improving the effect and quality of material pouring.

[0020] 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 scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0021] Please see Figure 1-5 As shown, an automatic unloading device for hot forging production includes a tilting frame 1. Two transmission rollers 5 are provided at the top of the tilting frame 1. Rotating rods 6 are rotatably mounted on both transmission rollers 5. Toothed driven wheels 7 are provided on both rotating rods 6. Motor brackets 2 are provided on both sides of the tilting frame 1. Transmission motors 3 are mounted on both motor brackets 2. Toothed transmission wheels 4 are provided on the output ends of both transmission motors 3. Transmission chains 8 are sleeved on the toothed transmission wheels 4 and the toothed driven wheels 7.
[0022] The flipping frame 1 has two guide rails 9 on each of its two support pillars. A transmission block 10 is slidably mounted on each of the two sets of guide rails 9. A fixing block 11 is mounted on each of the two transmission blocks 10. The two fixing blocks 11 are respectively fixed on a transmission chain 8.
[0023] Each of the two transmission blocks 10 is provided with a flipping plate 12, and a flipping rod 13 is rotatably arranged between the two flipping plates 12. A mounting block 24 is provided on the flipping rod 13, and a hopper box 23 is provided on the mounting block 24.
[0024] During operation, in order to control the rise of the hopper box 23, the fixing cylinder 21 is activated. The output end of the fixing cylinder 21 pushes the positioning plate 22 to extend, positioning and fixing the hopper box 23. Then, the transmission motor 3 is activated, which drives the toothed transmission wheel 4 to rotate. The toothed transmission wheel 4 and the toothed driven wheel 7 are driven by the transmission chain 8, causing the transmission chain 8 to perform cyclical motion. Since the fixing blocks 11 on the transmission block 10 are fixed on the transmission chain 8 respectively, and the transmission block 10 can slide on the guide rail 9 on the support of the tilting frame 1, the movement of the transmission chain 8 will drive the transmission block 10 to move upward along the guide rail 9, thereby causing the hopper box 23 to rise with the rise of the transmission block 10.
[0025] Both ends of the flipping rod 13 are provided with fixing brackets 19, both fixing brackets 19 are provided with mounting plates 20, both mounting plates 20 are provided with fixing cylinders 21, and both fixing cylinders 21 are provided with positioning plates 22 at their output ends.
[0026] Both transmission blocks 10 are provided with sliding holes, and both ends of the flipping rod 13 are fixedly provided with flipping gears 14. The two flipping gears 14 are respectively provided in the sliding holes opened on one of the transmission blocks 10. The two pillars of the flipping frame 1 are provided with flipping racks 15. After the two flipping gears 14 move upward to a certain position, they mesh with the flipping racks 15 for transmission.
[0027] During operation, in order to automatically unload materials, the transmission block 10 continues to rise, and the flipping gears 14 at both ends of the flipping rod 13 also rise accordingly. When the flipping gears 14 rise to a certain position, they mesh with the flipping rack 15 on the support of the flipping frame 1. The flipping gears 14 rotate under the meshing action, driving the flipping rod 13 to rotate, thereby flipping the hopper box 23 and unloading the material from the hopper box 23. After unloading is completed, the transmission motor 3 reverses, driving the transmission chain 8 to move in the opposite direction. The transmission block 10 descends along the guide rail 9, and the flipping gears 14 disengage from the flipping rack 15 as the transmission block 10 descends. The hopper box 23 returns to its initial horizontal state and returns to the loading position, ready for the next cycle.
[0028] The tilting frame 1 is equipped with a feeding hopper 16, and a second motor bracket 17 is provided on the feeding hopper 16. A vibration motor 18 is installed on the second motor bracket 17. Both the transmission motor 3 and the vibration motor 18 are electrically connected to an external power source.
[0029] During operation, in order to ensure smooth material feeding, the vibration motor 18 is turned on. The vibration motor 18 generates vibration, which is transmitted to the feeding hopper 16, causing the material in the feeding hopper 16 to overcome friction and adhesion, and flow into the subsequent device evenly and smoothly.
[0030] Working principle: In order to control the hopper box 23 to rise, the fixed cylinder 21 is started. The output end of the fixed cylinder 21 pushes the positioning plate 22 to extend, positioning and fixing the hopper box 23. Then, the transmission motor 3 is started. The transmission motor 3 drives the toothed transmission wheel 4 to rotate. The toothed transmission wheel 4 and the toothed driven wheel 7 are driven by the transmission chain 8 through meshing, so that the transmission chain 8 makes the transmission chain 8 circulate. Since the fixed blocks 11 on the transmission block 10 are fixed on the transmission chain 8 respectively, and the transmission block 10 can slide on the guide rail 9 on the support of the tilting frame 1, the movement of the transmission chain 8 will drive the transmission block 10 to move upward along the guide rail 9, thereby driving the hopper box 23 to rise with the rise of the transmission block 10.
[0031] To enable automatic material unloading, the transmission block 10 continues to rise, and the flipping gears 14 at both ends of the flipping rod 13 also rise accordingly. When the flipping gears 14 rise to a certain position, they mesh with the flipping rack 15 on the support of the flipping frame 1. The flipping gears 14 rotate under the meshing action, driving the flipping rod 13 to rotate, thereby causing the hopper box 23 to flip and the material to be poured out of the hopper box 23. After the material unloading is completed, the transmission motor 3 reverses, driving the transmission chain 8 to move in the opposite direction. The transmission block 10 descends along the guide rail 9, and the flipping gears 14 disengage from the flipping rack 15 as the transmission block 10 descends. The hopper box 23 returns to its initial horizontal state and returns to the feeding position, ready for the next cycle.
[0032] To ensure smooth material feeding, the vibration motor 18 is turned on. The vibration motor 18 generates vibration, which is transmitted to the feeding hopper 16, causing the material in the feeding hopper 16 to overcome friction and adhesion, and flow into the subsequent equipment evenly and smoothly.
