Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steel stacking technology, specifically a novel steel stacking guide trough structure for a reducing mill. Background Technology

[0002] The steel stacking guide trough structure is a key piece of equipment on steel rolling production lines (especially for bar and wire rod rolling) used to guide rolled pieces and prevent and handle "steel stacking" accidents. Its main function is to ensure stable transmission of rolled pieces between different rolling equipment (such as finishing mills and reducing mills), and to provide convenient handling conditions when rolled pieces are stuck or piled up, especially in reducing mills. The steel stacking guide trough structure is a key process accessory installed in the area behind the exit of the reducing mill. It is mainly used to guide and accommodate the piled-up wire rod when a steel stacking failure occurs, preventing it from directly impacting the rolling mill equipment and playing a protective role.

[0003] The existing patent (publication number: CN218014912U) discloses a steel stacking guide groove to prevent abrasion. This utility model changes the original U-shaped guide groove upper and lower pieces to an L-shaped structure and sets the inner wall bend to a rounded corner. After assembly at 45° along the rolling center line, the original circular steel passage hole becomes an elliptical structure. The assembly gap is also located on both sides of the bar and wire rod, completely avoiding direct friction between the bar and wire rod and the gap due to gravity during rolling.

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, existing patents have proposed solutions that, by changing the original U-shaped guide channel upper and lower sections to an L-shaped structure and using rounded corners at the inner wall bends, can avoid direct friction. However, in actual use, the steel stacking guide channels are distributed at a 45° angle. During normal production, the upper and lower sections are prone to misalignment, leading to marking defects in the finished product and affecting the overall quality of the product. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this section is to outline some aspects of embodiments of the present invention and to briefly describe some preferred embodiments. Simplifications or omissions may be made in this section, as well as in the abstract and title of this application, to avoid obscuring the purpose of these documents; however, such simplifications or omissions should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention.

[0006] Given that the existing technology has steel stacking guide channels distributed at 45°, during normal production, the upper and lower pieces are very prone to misalignment, which can lead to marking defects in the finished product and thus affect the overall quality of the product.

[0007] To solve the above problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0008] A novel steel stacking guide channel structure for a reducing machine includes an upper plate, the bottom end of which is movably connected to a lower plate, and both the upper and lower plates have through holes inside, with a centering mechanism provided inside the lower plate.

[0009] The centering mechanism includes a centering block, which is fixedly installed at both axial ends of the upper piece, and a rubber head is embedded at the bottom end of the centering block. The top end of the lower piece is provided with a mounting groove, and a first bonding plate is slidably connected inside the mounting groove. A second bonding plate is slidably connected to one side of the first bonding plate inside the mounting groove, and a spring is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the first bonding plate.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: an abutment block is fixedly installed on one side of the outer wall of the first bonding plate where the spring is installed, and a limit plate is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the abutment block.

[0011] As a further improvement of this utility model: the outer wall of the lower piece is provided with a through groove, and a positioning mechanism is provided on one side of the through groove.

[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the positioning mechanism includes a rotating groove, which is opened at the front end of the contact block, and a retaining plate extends through the interior of the rotating groove.

[0013] As a further improvement of this utility model: the inner wall of the card plate is slidably connected with a rotating rod, and both ends of the rotating rod that pass through the contact block are fixedly installed with rotating blocks.

[0014] As a further improvement of this utility model: a groove is provided on the inner wall of the card plate corresponding to the position of the rotating rod, and an abutment plate is fixedly installed inside the groove.

[0015] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the rotating rod and the card plate form a rotating structure, and the rotating rod and the sliding groove form a sliding structure.

[0016] As a further improvement of this utility model: the first bonding plate and the centering block are tightly bonded together, and the first bonding plate and the mounting groove form a sliding structure.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0018] 1. This utility model allows the centering block and rubber head of the inclined structure to be inserted and aligned through the gap reserved in the first and second bonding plates. With the upper and lower pieces being horizontally distributed, the overall centering effect can be further improved, avoiding misalignment of the upper and lower pieces and preventing marking defects in the product during later processing. In addition, with the elastic extension and contraction of the spring, the first and second bonding plates can be reset after the lower piece is detached.

[0019] 2. This utility model uses the adjustment and rotation of the clamping plate to form a locking mechanism with the lower piece, thereby positioning the contact block and preventing the first and second bonding plates from excessively squeezing the centering block due to the elastic contraction of the spring, which could cause the upper piece to become loose. This provides stability after the upper and lower pieces are aligned. Attached Figure Description

[0026] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more readily understood, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0028] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single embodiment or an embodiment selectively excluded from other embodiments.

[0029] Please see Figures 1-5 This embodiment provides a novel steel stacking guide channel structure for a reducing machine, including an upper plate 1, with a lower plate 2 movably connected to the bottom end of the upper plate 1. Both the upper plate 1 and the lower plate 2 have through holes 3 inside, and the lower plate 2 has a centering mechanism 4 inside.

[0030] The centering mechanism 4 includes a centering block 401, which is fixedly installed at both axial ends of the upper piece 1. A rubber head 402 is embedded at the bottom end of the centering block 401. A mounting groove 403 is provided at the top end of the lower piece 2. A first bonding plate 404 is slidably connected inside the mounting groove 403. A second bonding plate 405 is slidably connected to one side of the first bonding plate 404 inside the mounting groove 403. A spring 406 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the first bonding plate 404.

[0031] Specifically, an abutment block 407 is fixedly installed on one side of the outer wall of the first bonding plate 404 where the spring 406 is installed, and a limit plate 408 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the abutment block 407.

[0032] Furthermore, the limiting plate 408 allows the abutting block 407 to engage with the placement groove 403 to achieve a positioning effect, thereby enabling the first bonding plate 404 and the second bonding plate 405 to clamp and limit the centering block 401.

[0033] Specifically, the first bonding plate 404 is tightly bonded to the centering block 401, and the first bonding plate 404 and the mounting groove 403 form a sliding structure.

[0034] Furthermore, a space is reserved between the first bonding plate 404 and the second bonding plate 405 to allow the rubber head 402 to be inserted and to guide the upper piece 1 to align with the lower piece 2 to avoid misalignment.

[0035] In use, the upper piece 1, the lower piece 2, and the through hole 3 form a conventional steel stacking guide groove. When the upper piece 1 and the lower piece 2 are connected, the rubber head 402 at the bottom of the centering block 401 is inserted into the placement groove 403 and positioned between the first bonding plate 404 and the second bonding plate 405. Then, it continues to be inserted until the centering block 401 is fully inserted into the placement groove 403. This causes the first bonding plate 404 and the second bonding plate 405 to compress the spring 406 and push the abutment block 407 to abut against the lower piece 2 through the limiting plate 408 to form a lock. This achieves a limiting effect and prevents the upper piece 1 and the lower piece 2 from being misaligned. The spring 406 can also achieve a reset effect after the piece is released later.

[0036] In summary, this embodiment adjusts the rotation position of the support end cap from the original 45° to a horizontal position, and allows the steel stacking guide groove composed of the upper piece 1, lower piece 2 and through hole 3 to be horizontally distributed along the rolling center line, initially avoiding misalignment during the butt joint. Subsequently, with the gap between the first bonding plate 404 and the second bonding plate 405, the rubber head 402 is inserted and guides the centering block 401 into the placement groove 403. With the engagement of the contact block 407 and the limiting plate 408, and the contraction of the spring 406, the centering effect can be further improved, avoiding the offset during the butt joint that would cause the upper piece 1 and lower piece 2 to be misaligned, thereby avoiding scratches and defects in the finished product.

[0037] The outer wall of the lower piece 2 is provided with a through groove 5, and a positioning mechanism 6 is provided on one side of the through groove 5.

[0038] Furthermore, the positioning mechanism 6 can fix the contact block 407 after centering is completed.

[0039] Specifically, the positioning mechanism 6 includes a rotating groove 601, which is located at the front end of the contact block 407, and a retaining plate 602 extends through the interior of the rotating groove 601.

[0040] Furthermore, the card plate 602, pushed by the contact block 407, can pass through the through slot 5 and out of the mounting slot 403, and detach from the lower piece 2.

[0041] Specifically, a rotating rod 603 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the card plate 602, and rotating blocks 604 are fixedly installed at both ends of the rotating rod 603 that pass through the contact block 407.

[0042] Furthermore, the rotating rod 603 is rotatably connected to the contact block 407 via the rotating latch 604, thereby avoiding friction when adjusting the latch plate 602, which would affect the smoothness of rotation or sliding.

[0043] Specifically, a groove 605 is provided on the inner wall of the card plate 602 at the position corresponding to the rotating rod 603, and an abutment plate 606 is fixedly installed inside the groove 605.

[0044] Furthermore, the sliding groove 605 allows the card plate 602 to rotate as it passes through the lower piece 2, and it is abutted by the abutment plate 606, thereby allowing the card plate 602 to fit against the lower piece 2 and achieve the effect of locking and positioning the abutment block 407.

[0045] Specifically, the rotating rod 603 and the clamping plate 602 form a rotating structure, and the rotating rod 603 and the sliding groove 605 form a sliding structure.

[0046] Furthermore, by rotating the rotating rod 603 and the clamping plate 602, and cooperating with the sliding groove 605 to form a sliding, friction between the clamping plate 602 and the rotating rod 603 is avoided, resulting in smooth adjustment of the lead wire.

[0047] In use, the first bonding plate 404 and the second bonding plate 405 push the corresponding abutment block 407 to move, so that one end of the abutment block 407 passes through the through slot 5 and exits the lower piece 2, and can push the locking plate 602 to pass through. Then, the rotating rod 603 and the rotating locking block 604 make the locking plate 602 rotate stably in the rotating slot 601 and slide in conjunction with the sliding groove 605. After adjusting to ninety degrees, the lower piece 2 is attached to the abutment of the abutment plate 606, thereby locking the abutment block 407 and preventing the upper piece 1 from becoming loose due to excessive elasticity of the spring 406.

[0048] In summary, after the centering mechanism 4 aligns the upper piece 1 and the lower piece 2, the clamping plate 602 can pass through the lower piece 2. After adjustment and rotation, the clamping plate 606 engages with the contact block 407, thus preventing the elastic extension and contraction of the spring 406 from squeezing the centering block 401 and causing the upper piece 1 to be pushed and squeezed out.
