Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mobile storage equipment, and in particular to a mobile fastening and dense arrangement device for square billet workpieces. Background Technology
[0002] In the fields of iron and steel metallurgy, metal processing, and warehousing and logistics, the movement, close arrangement, and temporary fastening of rectangular cross-section long products such as steel billets and aluminum billets are common process requirements. For example, before rolling, heated billets need to be transferred from the heat preservation pit to the rolling mill roller table, or during storage, billets need to be stacked tightly and neatly for subsequent hoisting or counting. Currently, the main methods for moving, arranging, and fastening billets include: Manual prying / handling: Operators use tools such as pry bars to move and arrange billets one by one. This method is not only extremely labor-intensive and inefficient, but also poses serious safety hazards (such as crushing injuries and burns) in high-temperature and heavy-load environments. Manual operation makes it difficult to guarantee the tightness and consistency of the arrangement, and cannot achieve reliable temporary fastening. Overhead crane / slinging: Using overhead cranes in conjunction with electromagnetic chucks or special clamps to hoist and place single or multiple billets. Although this method reduces the burden on manual labor, the equipment investment is high, the operation depends on skilled overhead crane operators, the positioning accuracy is limited, and the efficiency is low, especially when close arrangement is required. Frequent lifting and lowering can easily damage the surface of the billet. For scenarios requiring precise movement and close arrangement of billets on horizontal tracks, lifting methods are cumbersome and inefficient. Hydraulic / pneumatic push rod mechanism: This method uses hydraulic or pneumatic cylinders to push push plates or linkage mechanisms to move and arrange billets along the track. This method can achieve a certain degree of automation and thrust, but it has significant disadvantages: Complex system and high cost: It requires hydraulic stations / air sources, pipelines, control systems, etc., and has high installation and maintenance requirements. Poor flexibility: It can usually only achieve linear pushing action, and it is difficult to adjust for situations that need to adapt to billets of different sizes or different arrangement requirements. Large space occupation: Hydraulic cylinders / pneumatic cylinders and their auxiliary mechanisms are often bulky, occupying valuable working space. Impact and damage: Direct hard pushing can easily cause damage to the end face of the billet or positional displacement. Dedicated robotic arm / gripping device: This method uses a multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm in conjunction with a complex gripper mechanism for grasping, moving, and placing. While such devices are powerful, they are extremely complex in structure, expensive, and difficult to program and maintain. For single-function scenarios requiring only horizontal movement, close arrangement, and simple fastening, they suffer from significant functional redundancy and cost waste. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a dedicated device that is simple in structure, easy to operate, low in cost, safe, reliable, and efficient, specifically designed for horizontal movement, close arrangement, and temporary fastening of billets on a workpiece track. Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is to provide a device for moving, fastening, and compacting square billet workpieces. This device can quickly and conveniently achieve the movement, compacting, and fastening of square billet workpieces.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a square billet workpiece moving and fastening close-packing device, including a crossbeam that can move horizontally back and forth, a rotating shaft that runs through the crossbeam, a V-shaped part for moving the square billet workpiece that is fixedly sleeved on the rotating shaft, the V-shaped part that can rotate freely with the help of the rotating shaft, a horizontal square billet workpiece moving track that is set below the crossbeam, a baffle that is set at one end of the track, and a square billet workpiece placed on the track.
[0005] A further improvement of this utility model is that the head of the V-shaped part is semi-circular, and the bottom of the V-shaped part is divided into two branches, the end closer to the baffle is the long end, and the end farther from the baffle is the short end, with an included angle of 90° between the long end and the short end, which is suitable for use with preform workpieces.
[0006] A further improvement of this utility model is that anti-slip pads are provided on the inner surfaces of both the long and short ends of the V-shaped part.
[0007] A further improvement of this utility model is that a counterweight plate is provided on the outer side of the long end of the V-shaped part.
[0008] A further improvement of this utility model is that a guide rail is provided above the top of the crossbeam, and an electric wheel that can run is provided on the guide rail. The crossbeam is fixed to the electric wheel by a vertical connecting rod, and the crossbeam moves horizontally back and forth by the movement of the electric wheel.
[0009] The technological advancements achieved by this invention, due to the adoption of the above-mentioned technical solutions, are as follows: By setting a movable, suspended beam, the movement of the beam is unaffected by the square billet workpieces placed on the ground, allowing for convenient and free movement, thereby repositioning the square billet workpieces that need to be pushed. Furthermore, by incorporating a rotatable V-shaped component, the V-shaped component can smoothly pass over the square billet workpiece from above, and can also hold the workpiece in place by the angle between its long and short ends, enabling convenient and rapid pushing.

[0019] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to embodiments:
[0020] like Figure 1 The diagram shows a schematic of a square billet workpiece moving and fastening assembly device. It includes a horizontally movable crossbeam 1. In this embodiment, the crossbeam 1 is moved by a suspended guide rail above its top, supported by ground supports. Several electric wheels are mounted on the guide rail, rotating to move the workpiece. A downward connecting rod is connected to the axle of each wheel, and the horizontal crossbeam 1 is fixed to the connecting rod. Thus, the crossbeam 1 is fixed to the electric wheels via a vertically upward connecting rod. The movement of the electric wheels on the guide rail drives the crossbeam 1 to move horizontally forward and backward in mid-air. A rotating shaft 2 passes through the crossbeam 1. Specifically, a bearing is embedded inside the crossbeam 1, and the rotating shaft 2 extends into the middle of the bearing, allowing free rotation. The length of the rotating shaft 2 is longer than the thickness of the crossbeam 1. A V-shaped component 3 is fixedly fitted onto the portion of the rotating shaft protruding from the crossbeam 1, allowing the V-shaped component 3 to rotate with the rotation of the rotating shaft. The V-shaped component 3 uses rotation to lock the opening and the edges of the square billet workpiece. Then, through the movement of the crossbeam 1, the V-shaped component 3 moves the square billet workpiece to achieve a tight and dense arrangement. A horizontal moving track 5 is set below the crossbeam 1. A baffle is set at one end of the track 5. Square billet workpieces that are not densely arranged and face the same are placed on the track 5.
[0021] The V-shaped part 3 has a flat, elongated plate-like structure. Its head is semi-circular, with a pivot shaft fitted at the center. This shaft can be fixed by welding or nuts. The bottom of the V-shaped part 3 branches into two triangular sections: a long end 31 closer to the baffle and a short end 32 further away. The angle between the long and short ends 31 and 32 is 90°, suitable for use with preform workpieces. To better push the workpiece and increase friction, anti-slip pads are provided on the inner surfaces of the angle between the long and short ends 31 and 32 of the V-shaped part 3. Under gravity, the V-shaped part 3 will naturally sag and return to its original position. However, to prevent bearing jamming and incomplete sag and return, a counterweight plate is placed on the outer side of the long end 31, on the other side of the angle. This does not affect the pushing force of the angle on the workpiece but also adds weight to one side, making sag and return easier.
[0022] As attached Figure 2-7 The diagram illustrates the process of using this novel method to move and tightly fasten a square billet workpiece. During operation, the crossbeam 1 drives the V-shaped component 3 to move horizontally forward along the square billet workpiece track 5 until the V-shaped opening of the V-shaped component 3 is fully engaged with the square billet workpiece 4. At this point, the crossbeam 1 and the V-shaped component 3 drive the square billet workpiece to move horizontally backward. This method enables the square billet workpiece to be moved, tightly packed, and fastened.
[0023] The embodiments described above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model. Various modifications and improvements made to the technical solutions of the present utility model by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present utility model should fall within the protection scope defined by the claims of the present utility model.
