Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steel rolling technology, and more particularly to the material box at the bottom of the flying shear of bar and wire rod rolling mill, and more specifically, to a transverse material box device. Background Technology

[0002] During the civil construction of the flying shear, a civil foundation pit is made at a position about -3000mm below the center line of the bar and wire rod flying shear rolling direction (taking +800mm of the rolling center line and +0mm of the equipment foundation as an example). The steel plate welded material box is placed in the pit as a collection device for the cutting waste generated during the flying shear cutting process.

[0003] With the entire rolling line running continuously, the amount of cut-off scrap collected in the material bins accumulates. Currently, the method for removing the cut-off scrap from the material bins is to use an overhead crane to lift the material bins from the bottom up after the entire rolling line has stopped, and then process them offline. This method is limited by the rolling rhythm, and stopping the machine to remove scrap can easily affect the production line efficiency.

[0004] In addition, the amount of waste material accumulated in the material bin needs to be checked and judged by the staff. Since the flying shear is a rotating device, the flying shear and the flying debris generated during the cutting process pose certain safety hazards to the staff checking the material bin.

[0005] Secondly, the waste material generated during the flying shearing process falls directly into the material box. During this falling process, the waste material impacts the inner wall of the material box, causing significant wear and tear and affecting the service life of the material box.

[0006] The information disclosed in this background section is intended only to enhance the understanding of the overall background of this utility model and should not be construed as an admission or in any way implying that the information constitutes prior art known to those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0007] To address the technical problems of inconvenient cleaning of cut waste material in the material bin, safety hazards in judging the accumulation amount, and short service life of the material bin in the existing technology, a mobile material bin device is provided.

[0008] This utility model provides a mobile material box device, including: a rail base, on which a transport vehicle is provided to move along its track, and a material box is fixed on the transport vehicle.

[0009] In some embodiments, the transport vehicle is equipped with a gravity sensor located below the material bin, and the gravity sensor is connected to a controller; the gravity sensor is used to weigh the material bin and transmit the weighed weight data to the controller.

[0010] In some embodiments, the top of the hopper is open, and the inner wall and bottom plate of the hopper are provided with wear-resistant plates.

[0011] In some embodiments, the hopper is also provided with several lifting lugs.

[0012] In some embodiments, the rail base is provided with a removable positioning block that can restrict the movement of the transport vehicle along the rail base.

[0013] In some embodiments, the rail base is provided with a plurality of mounting holes, and the positioning block is fixed to the mounting holes by bolts.

[0014] In some embodiments, a limiting plate is fixed on the transport vehicle, the limiting plate has a groove with the slot facing downwards, and the track of the rail seat is located in the groove.

[0015] In some embodiments, the hopper is secured to the transport vehicle by a connecting buckle.

[0016] In some embodiments, the transport vehicle is equipped with a connecting seat for connecting a traction device, which drives the transport vehicle to move along the track.

[0017] In some embodiments, the traction device includes a hydraulic cylinder, a pneumatic cylinder, or a motor.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the technical effects achieved by this utility model are as follows:

[0019] 1) By setting a rail base and a transport vehicle below the material box, the material box can move on the rail base with the transport vehicle. When the flying shear is running, the material box can be moved at any time to deal with the cut waste material inside, without having to shut down the rolling line and without affecting the normal operation of the production line, thereby ensuring the efficiency of the production line operation.

[0020] 2) This utility model uses a gravity sensor installed below the material box to transmit data to the controller, thereby determining the amount of waste material accumulated in the material box. This eliminates the need for workers to go to the flying shear material box to check the amount of waste material accumulated in the material box, thus eliminating safety hazards.

[0021] 3) This utility model prevents the waste material from falling directly into the material box body by fixing wear-resistant plates on the inner wall and bottom plate of the material box, thereby reducing the wear of the material box. After the wear-resistant plates are damaged, they can be directly replaced, thus greatly improving the service life of the material box and reducing production costs. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0030] The technical solution of this utility model is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the existence of other methods and steps before and after the combined steps mentioned in this utility model does not preclude the presence of other methods and steps, or the insertion of other methods and steps between these explicitly mentioned steps. It should also be understood that these examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Unless otherwise stated, the numbering of each method step is only for the purpose of identifying each method step, and not for limiting the order of each method or defining the scope of implementation of this utility model. Changes or adjustments to their relative relationships, without substantial changes to the technical content, can also be considered as within the scope of implementation of this utility model.

[0031] The raw materials and instruments used in the examples are not subject to any specific restrictions on their source; they can be purchased from the market or prepared according to conventional methods known to those skilled in the art.

[0032] Example:

[0033] This invention provides a mobile material box device that can clean up the cut waste material without shutting down the rolling line. It eliminates the need for staff to personally check the amount of cut waste material accumulated in the material box, ensuring production efficiency, eliminating safety hazards, and extending the service life of the material box.

[0034] like Figure 1-6 As shown, in some embodiments, a movable material box device is provided, comprising a rail base 1, on which a transport vehicle 2 moves along its track, and a material box 3 is fixed on the transport vehicle 2. When the entire rolling line is running continuously, and the material box 3 collects a large amount of waste material, the transport vehicle 2 can be pulled along the rail base 1, and the material box 3 moves with the transport vehicle 2. Figure 6 As shown, this allows the material bin 3 to move from ① the working position of the material bin to ② the offline unloading position of the material bin; this process does not require stopping the entire rolling line, thus ensuring the efficiency of the production line.

[0035] In some embodiments, the transport vehicle 2 is equipped with a gravity sensor 4, which is located below the material bin 3 and connected to a controller. The gravity sensor 4 is used to weigh the material bin 3 and transmit the measured weight data to the controller. When the material bin 3 is in the ① material bin working position, the flying shear above it is in continuous operation, and the cut waste continuously falls and accumulates in the material bin 3. The gravity sensor 4 measures the weight of the material bin 3 in real time. The controller receives the weight data transmitted by the gravity sensor 4 and can analyze the amount of cut waste accumulated in the material bin 3. The controller can be connected to an external display screen to display the amount of accumulated waste in the material bin 3, allowing workers to remotely know the amount of cut waste accumulated in the material bin 3, thereby eliminating safety hazards.

[0036] In some embodiments, the controller can also be connected to an alarm. When the controller determines that the amount of waste material in the material bin 3 has reached a preset accumulation threshold, the controller controls the alarm to send an alarm signal to notify the staff, reminding them that the material bin 3 is now full of waste material and other debris.

[0037] In some embodiments, the controller is even externally connected to a traction device that can pull the transport vehicle 2. When the controller determines that the amount of waste material in the material box 3 has reached a preset value, the controller controls the traction device to pull the transport vehicle 2 from ① the working position of the material box to ② the offline unloading position of the material box.

[0038] In some embodiments, the top of the material bin 3 is open, and the inner wall and bottom plate of the material bin 3 are provided with wear-resistant plates 32. The waste material produced by the flying shear 5 falls directly into the material bin 3. During this falling process, the waste material directly impacts the wear-resistant plates 32 in the material bin 3. The wear-resistant plates 32 are the main components that wear in the material bin 3, and after the wear-resistant plates 32 are damaged, they can be replaced with new ones, thereby improving the service life of the material bin 3. Alternatively, double-sided wear-resistant plates can also be used.

[0039] In some embodiments, since the impact points of the cut waste material falling into the hopper are limited, the wear-resistant plate 32 can be set only in the areas where the cut waste material is prone to impact. This reduces the wear of the hopper 3 and the area of ​​the wear-resistant plate 32 used, further saving costs.

[0040] In some embodiments, the material box 3 is also provided with several lifting lugs 33; when the rolling mill site is limited, or when there is a problem with the rail seat, the entire device can still be lifted out from above by a crane using the lifting lugs 33 installed on both sides of the material box 3.

[0041] In some embodiments, the rail base 1 is provided with detachable positioning blocks 11. When the transport vehicle 2 and the material box 3 are in the ① material box working position, the positioning blocks 11 on both sides of the transport vehicle 2 can reliably restrict the transport vehicle 2 and the material box 3 to that position, preventing the transport vehicle 2 from moving freely on the rail base 1. When the transport vehicle 2 needs to be moved, the positioning blocks 11 can be removed.

[0042] In some embodiments, the rail base 1 is provided with a plurality of mounting holes 13, and the positioning block 11 is fixed to the mounting holes 13 by bolts. The fixing method is not limited to bolts; other detachable methods can also be used. When the positioning block 11 is fixed to different mounting holes 13, the working positions of the transport vehicles 2 and material boxes 3 of different specifications and sizes can be restricted on the rail base 1.

[0043] In some embodiments, a limiting plate 12 is fixed on the transport vehicle 2. The limiting plate 12 has a groove with the slot facing downwards. The track of the rail seat 1 is located in the groove. When the transport vehicle 2 moves along the rail seat 1, the limiting plate 12 can prevent the transport vehicle from derailing from the track.

[0044] In some embodiments, the hopper 3 is fixed to the transport vehicle 2 by a connecting buckle 31.

[0045] In some embodiments, the transport vehicle 2 is equipped with a connecting seat 21 for connecting a traction device, which drives the transport vehicle 2 to move along the rail seat 1. The connecting seat 21 is mainly used to adapt to the traction device. For example, when the traction device consists of a motor, cable, hook, etc., the connecting seat can be provided with a pull ring hole, so that the hook can be hung on the pull ring hole. The motor drives the cable coil seat to rotate, thereby retracting the cable and pulling the transport vehicle 2.

[0046] In some embodiments, the traction device may also be a hydraulic cylinder or a pneumatic cylinder.

[0047] In some embodiments, the transport vehicle 2 and the material box 3 are connected and defined by a connecting buckle 31 formed by a key and a groove. In this embodiment, the groove is provided at the bottom of the transport vehicle 2, and a key matching the groove is provided on the transport vehicle 2. When the transport vehicle 2 and the material box 3 are matched, the key on the transport vehicle 2 can be inserted into the groove of the material box 3. The connecting buckle 31 is not limited to this structural form. This case provides a fixed approach, such as... Figure 7 As shown, but not limited to this approach, it is sufficient to achieve detachable fixing between transport vehicle 2 and the contingent 3.

[0048] The lateral movement function of the material box is a significant innovation in modern rolling technology. By improving flexibility, efficiency, quality, and ease of maintenance, it significantly enhances the overall performance of the production line. With the development of automation and intelligent technologies, such as CNC lateral movement systems and AI algorithms optimizing positioning paths, the lateral movement function, in conjunction with automation and intelligent technologies, will be further upgraded towards higher precision and higher speed, becoming one of the key supporting technologies for the digital transformation of the steel rolling industry.

[0049] The foregoing description of specific exemplary embodiments of the present invention is for illustrative and explanatory purposes. These descriptions are not intended to limit the present invention to the precise forms disclosed, and it will be apparent that many changes and variations can be made in accordance with the foregoing teachings. The exemplary embodiments were chosen and described in order to explain the specific principles of the present invention and its practical application, thereby enabling those skilled in the art to implement and utilize various different exemplary embodiments of the present invention, as well as various different choices and variations.
