Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of quenching trolley technology, and in particular to a quenching trolley with material positioning function. Background Technology
[0002] In heat treatment processes, quenching is a crucial step in improving the hardness, strength, and wear resistance of metallic materials. Quenching trolleys, as key equipment for rapidly transferring heated workpieces for quenching, are widely used in various continuous or periodic heat treatment production lines, particularly in forging, casting, and gear processing industries. Traditional quenching trolleys primarily transport heated workpieces quickly from the furnace to the quenching tank or cooling medium. Their structure typically includes basic components such as a car body, a traveling mechanism, and a support platform. However, in practical applications, due to the diverse types and complex shapes of workpieces, most existing quenching trolleys lack dedicated material positioning devices. This leads to workpieces easily shifting, tilting, or even falling during transportation and quenching, affecting the consistency and safety of quenching quality.
[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to design a quenching trolley with material positioning function to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] To overcome the shortcomings of the lack of material positioning device, which makes the workpiece prone to displacement, tilting or even falling during transportation and quenching, this utility model provides a quenching trolley with material positioning function.
[0005] Technical solution: A quenching trolley with material positioning function includes a guide rail, a moving table, a placement plate, a limiting plate, a sliding plate, a dual-axis motor, and a lead screw. The moving table is slidably connected to the guide rail, and the placement plate is fixedly connected to the top of the moving table. The limiting plate is fixedly connected to the upper right side of the placement plate. The sliding plates are slidably connected to the front and rear sides of the left side of the limiting plate. The dual-axis motor is fixedly connected to the middle of the limiting plate. The output shafts of the dual-axis motor are fixedly connected to the lead screws on the front and rear sides. The two lead screws are rotatably connected to the limiting plate, and the lead screws on the same side are threadedly connected to the sliding plates on the same side.
[0006] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, it also includes clamping plates, dual-axis motors II and lead screws II. The two sliding plates are fixedly connected to the dual-axis motors II at their ends away from the center. The output shafts on the left and right sides of the two dual-axis motors II are fixedly connected to lead screws II. Clamping plates are threaded onto the four lead screws II. The two clamping plates on the same side are slidably connected to the sliding plates on the same side.
[0007] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, it also includes a protective shell, and the two sliding plates are fixedly connected to the protective shell at the ends away from the center.
[0008] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, it also includes a support plate, a detector and a controller. The support plate is fixedly connected to the right side of the guide rail, the detector is fixedly connected to the top inner side of the support plate, and the controller is fixedly connected to the top right side of the support plate. The controller is electrically connected to the guide rail, the first dual-axis motor, the second dual-axis motor and the detector.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, it also includes an alarm, with the alarm fixedly connected to the top of the support plate, and the controller and the alarm being electrically connected.
[0010] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, it also includes a top plate, a servo motor and a threaded rod. The top plate is slidably connected between the upper part of the moving platform and the placement plate. The servo motor is fixedly connected to the bottom of the moving platform. The output shaft of the servo motor is fixedly connected to the threaded rod. The threaded rod is threadedly connected to the top plate.

[0011] Beneficial effects: 1. This utility model uses a dual-axis motor to drive a lead screw to move a sliding plate laterally, and a dual-axis motor to drive a lead screw to clamp the workpiece. It can automatically adjust the clamping position according to the workpiece of different sizes, ensuring consistent positioning accuracy each time, and effectively improving the stability of the quenching process and product quality.
[0012] 2. This utility model utilizes a detector on the support plate to scan in real time whether the workpiece exists and is centered. When the controller detects an anomaly, it immediately triggers an alarm to alert the operator for timely handling. This design not only improves operational safety but also avoids the risk of equipment damage or process failure due to workpiece displacement or loss.
[0013] 3. This utility model uses a threaded rod driven by a servo motor and a top plate structure to slightly lift the workpiece from below after transportation, making it convenient for workers to unload the material.
[0014] 4. This utility model effectively prevents external dust from entering by setting a protective shell on the outside of the sliding plate to cover the moving parts, thus extending the service life of the equipment.

Detailed Implementation
[0023] Example: A quenching trolley with material positioning function, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, it includes a guide rail 1, a moving stage 2, a placement plate 3, a limiting plate 4, a sliding plate 5, a dual-axis motor 6, and a lead screw 7. The moving stage 2 is slidably connected to the guide rail 1. The placement plate 3 is welded to the top of the moving stage 2. The limiting plate 4 is fixedly connected to the upper right side of the placement plate 3. The sliding plates 5 are slidably connected to the front and rear sides of the left side of the limiting plate 4. The dual-axis motor 6 is installed in the middle of the limiting plate 4. The lead screw 7 is fixedly connected to the output shafts on the front and rear sides of the dual-axis motor 6. The two lead screws 7 are rotatably connected to the limiting plate 4, and the lead screws 7 on the same side are threadedly connected to the sliding plates 5 on the same side.
[0024] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, it also includes clamping plates 8, dual-axis motors 9 and lead screws 10. Dual-axis motors 9 are installed on the two sliding plates 5 away from the center. Lead screws 10 are fixedly connected to the output shafts on the left and right sides of the two dual-axis motors 9. Clamping plates 8 are threaded onto the four lead screws 10. The two clamping plates 8 on the same side are slidably connected to the sliding plates 5 on the same side.
[0025] like Figure 3As shown, it also includes a protective shell 901, and the two sliding plates 5 are fixedly connected to the protective shell 901 by bolts at their ends away from the center.
[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it also includes a support plate 11, a detector 12 and a controller 13. The support plate 11 is fixedly connected to the right side of the guide rail 1 by bolts. The detector 12 is installed on the top inner side of the support plate 11. The controller 13 is fixedly connected to the top right side of the support plate 11. The controller 13 is electrically connected to the guide rail 1, the dual-axis motor 6, the dual-axis motor 9 and the detector 12.
[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, it also includes an alarm 14, which is fixedly connected to the top of the support plate 11 by bolts, and the controller 13 is electrically connected to the alarm 14.
[0028] like Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, it also includes a top plate 15, a servo motor 16 and a threaded rod 17. The top plate 15 is slidably connected between the upper part of the moving platform 2 and the placement plate 3. The servo motor 16 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the moving platform 2 by bolts. The output shaft of the servo motor 16 is fixedly connected to the threaded rod 17. The threaded rod 17 is threadedly connected to the top plate 15. The threaded rod 17 is rotatably connected to the moving platform 2. The controller 13 is electrically connected to the servo motor 16.
[0029] When this device is needed to transport a workpiece to a quenching tank or cooling medium, the operator first places the workpiece in the central area of the top of the support plate 11, starts the controller 13, and then starts the dual-axis motor 6 through the controller 13. The front and rear output shafts of the dual-axis motor 6 rotate synchronously, driving the two lead screws 7 to rotate. The lead screws 7 form a threaded transmission with the sliding plate 5, pushing the sliding plate 5 to move towards the center along the limit plate 4. The sliding plate 5 drives the clamping plate 8 to move towards the workpiece synchronously. After adjustment, the dual-axis motor 6 stops running, and the sliding plate 5 is locked in the appropriate position. Then, the dual-axis motor 9 is started through the controller 13. The left and right output shafts of the dual-axis motor 9 rotate synchronously, driving the four lead screws 10 to rotate. The lead screws 10 form a threaded connection with the clamping plate 8, pushing the clamping plate 8 to move towards the center end along the sliding plate 5 until the clamping plate 8 contacts and presses the workpiece. After clamping the workpiece on both sides and positioning it, the dual-axis motor 9 stops running, and the clamping plate 8 remains clamped. Then, the controller 13 starts the guide rail 1, which drives the moving table 2 to move to the position of the support plate 11, so that the workpiece is directly below the detector 12. The controller 13 then starts the detector 12, which scans in real time to see if the workpiece exists and to determine if it is centered. If the workpiece is not centered or missing, the signal is transmitted to the controller 13, which controls the alarm 14 to issue a prompt signal to remind manual adjustment. If the detection is normal, the controller 13 starts the guide rail 1, which drives the moving table 2 to move towards the left quenching pool. During the movement, the clamping plate 8 continues to clamp the workpiece, and the sliding plate 5 and the limiting plate 4 remain relatively stable. The protective shell 901 effectively holds the workpiece while preventing dust, and moves it to the quenching pool.
[0030] After a certain period of time, the workpiece is quenched. Then, the controller 13 starts the guide rail 1 to drive the moving table 2 back. After resetting, the controller 13 starts the dual-axis motor 9 to run in reverse, driving the lead screw 10 to rotate in reverse. The clamping plate 8 moves outward along the sliding plate 5 to release the workpiece. Then, the controller 13 starts the dual-axis motor 6 to run in reverse, so that the sliding plate 5 returns to the initial position. Then, the controller 13 starts the servo motor 16, which drives the threaded rod 17 to rotate. The threaded rod 17 is threadedly connected to the top plate 15 and rotates to connect with the moving table 2, driving the top plate 15 to move upward and slightly lift the bottom of the workpiece from below. The top plate 15 maintains a stable lifting state, making it convenient for the operator to remove the workpiece. After the operator removes the workpiece, the controller 13 controls the servo motor 16 to reverse, driving the threaded rod 17 to rotate in reverse, and the top plate 15 moves downward to reset.
