Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of rod retraction devices, specifically to a rod retraction device used in the continuous casting and rolling process of aluminum rods. Background Technology
[0002] In the continuous casting and rolling process of aluminum rods, the rod winding device is a key piece of equipment used to orderly wind the rolled aluminum rods (usually round rods with a diameter between 9.5-12mm) into coils for subsequent storage, transportation, and further processing (such as drawing into aluminum wire). Its core function is to mechanically wind the continuously output aluminum rods into regular coils while ensuring stable tension of the aluminum rods during the winding process, avoiding problems such as tangled wires, overlapping wires, or damage to the aluminum rods.
[0003] In the continuous casting and rolling production line of aluminum rods, the rod winding device is a key piece of equipment for achieving continuous winding of aluminum rods. Its core function is to orderly wind the rolled aluminum rods onto the I-beams (winding reels) to form neat aluminum rod coils. The I-beams, as the core component carrying the aluminum rod coils, must be replaced with empty I-beams promptly after being fully wound to ensure the continuous operation of the production line. The efficiency and stability of the I-beam replacement directly affect the continuity of operation, production efficiency, and quality stability of the finished aluminum rods of the entire production line, making it a crucial link in the automated and efficient operation of the rod winding device.
[0004] In existing technologies, the replacement process of the I-beam reel mostly relies on manual or semi-automatic methods. The specific operation procedure is usually as follows: when the I-beam reel is fully wound with aluminum rod, the production line stops. The operator manually loosens several bolts between the I-beam reel and the main shaft, and uses a crane or simple lifting tools to unload the fully wound I-beam reel from the main shaft of the rod winding device. Then, the empty I-beam reel is hoisted to the position of the main shaft, its coaxiality is manually adjusted and several bolts are turned to lock it, and finally the production line is restarted.
[0005] However, since the I-beam is usually locked to the main shaft by multiple bolts, each replacement requires tightening these bolts sequentially, resulting in low efficiency for replacing the I-beam. Utility Model Content

[0026] 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 protection scope of the present utility model.
[0027] Please see Figures 1-5 A rod-collecting device for continuous casting and rolling of aluminum rods includes a support frame 1, a support column 2, an I-beam wheel 4, a first motor 5, and a positioning mechanism. The support column 2 is rotatably mounted on the support frame 1. A limit plate 3 is fixedly installed at one end of the side wall of the support column 2 near the support frame 1. The I-beam wheel 4 is fitted onto the support column 2. The first motor 5 is mounted on the support frame 1, and the output end of the first motor 5 is fixedly connected to the support column 2. The positioning mechanism is located inside the support column 2 and is used to position the relative position of the I-beam wheel 4 and the support column 2.
[0028] Reference Figures 1-5The positioning mechanism includes a first cavity 6, a positioning groove 8, a positioning disc 9, a limiting mechanism, and a fastening mechanism. The first cavity 6 is located within the support column 2. Multiple positioning openings 7 are formed on the sidewall of the first cavity 6. A positioning groove 8 is formed on the sidewall of the I-beam wheel 4 away from the support frame 1, located on the side of the positioning opening 7. The positioning disc 9 is slidably disposed within the first cavity 6. The limiting mechanism is disposed on the positioning disc 9 to limit the movement between the positioning disc 9 and the I-beam wheel 4. The fastening mechanism is disposed on the positioning disc 9 to adjust the position of the positioning disc 9 within the first cavity 6. The limiting mechanism includes a limiting groove 10, a limiting block 11, and a synchronous movement mechanism. A limiting groove 10 is provided on one side of the positioning port 7 on the side wall of the disk 9. A convex limiting block 11 is slidably arranged in the limiting groove 10. One end of the limiting block 11 extends into the positioning slide groove 8 and is adapted to the shape of the positioning slide groove 8. A synchronous moving mechanism is provided on the positioning disk 9 to drive multiple limiting blocks 11 to move synchronously. Specifically, the operation of the synchronous moving mechanism can drive the limiting blocks 11 to move synchronously, thereby driving the limiting blocks 11 to extend out of the positioning port 7 or retract into the limiting groove 10. This facilitates the limiting of the H-shaped wheel 4 by the cooperation of the limiting blocks 11 and the limiting disk 3 after the limiting blocks 11 extend out of the positioning port 7.
[0029] Reference Figures 3-5The synchronous movement mechanism includes a second cavity 12, a limiting rod 13, a limiting post 14, an adjusting plate 15, a support spring 17, and a drive mechanism. The positioning plate 9 has a second cavity 12, with a limiting opening between the second cavity 12 and the limiting groove 10. The limiting rod 13 is fixedly mounted on the limiting block 11, extending through the limiting opening into the second cavity 12. The limiting post 14 is fixedly mounted at the end of the limiting rod 13 away from the limiting block 11. The adjusting plate 15 is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the second cavity 12. An arc-shaped adjusting through hole 16 is provided on one side of the limiting opening at the eccentric position of the adjusting plate 15, with the limiting post 14 extending into the adjusting through hole 16. The support spring 17 is fitted onto the limiting rod 13, with both ends of the support spring 17 contacting the limiting block 11 and the bottom of the limiting groove 10, respectively. The drive mechanism is mounted on the positioning plate 9 and is used to drive the adjusting plate 15 to rotate. The device includes a first drive port 18, a second drive port 19, a drive prism 20, and a first handwheel 21. The first drive port 18 is located on the positioning plate 9, and the second drive port 19 is located on the adjustment plate 15. The drive prism 20 is rotatably disposed in the first cavity 6 and passes through the first drive port 18 and the second drive port 19. The drive prism 20 is slidably connected to the side wall of the second drive port 19. The first handwheel 21 is rotatably disposed on the support column 2 and is fixedly connected to the drive prism 20. Specifically, the rotation of the first handwheel 21 can drive the drive prism 20 to rotate. At the same time, the cooperation between the drive prism 20 and the second drive port 19 drives the adjustment plate 15 to rotate. In turn, the compression of the limiting column 14 by the side wall of the adjustment through hole 16 can drive the limiting column 14, the limiting rod 13, and the limiting block 11 to move, thereby facilitating the position adjustment of the limiting block 11.
[0030] Reference Figures 2-4 The fastening mechanism includes a threaded rod 22, a second handwheel 23, and guide rods 24. The threaded rod 22 is rotatably disposed in the first cavity 6 and passes through the positioning plate 9 through a threaded engagement. The second handwheel 23 is rotatably disposed on the support column 2 and is fixedly connected to the threaded rod 22. Multiple guide rods 24 are fixedly disposed in the first cavity 6, passing through the positioning plate 9 and slidably connected to the positioning plate 9. Specifically, the rotation of the second handwheel 23 can drive the threaded rod 22 to rotate. At the same time, the threaded engagement between the threaded rod 22 and the positioning plate 9 can drive the positioning plate 9 and the limiting block 11 to move. Thus, the limiting block 11 can press against the surface of the I-beam wheel 4, thereby improving the installation stability of the I-beam wheel 4.
[0031] Working principle: During use, the operator rotates the first handwheel 21, which drives the drive prism 20 to rotate. Simultaneously, the drive prism 20, in conjunction with the second drive port 19, drives the adjusting plate 15 to rotate. This, in turn, causes the limiting post 14, the limiting rod 13, and the limiting block 11 to move by the pressure of the side wall of the adjusting through hole 16. This causes the limiting block 11 to retract into the limiting groove 10. Afterward, the operator uses a crane to mount the I-beam wheel 4 onto the support column 2, and then releases the first handwheel 21. Under the action of the support spring 17, one end of the limiting block 11 extends out to a fixed position. Position 7, then the operator rotates the second handwheel 23, which drives the threaded rod 22 to rotate. At the same time, the threaded rod 22 and the positioning plate 9 are engaged by the thread, which drives the positioning plate 9 and the limiting block 11 to move. Then, the limiting block 11 is pressed against the surface of the I-beam wheel 4, and one end of the limiting block 11 extends into the positioning groove 8. At this time, the operation of the first motor 5 drives the support column 2, the positioning plate 9 and the limiting block 11 to rotate. At the same time, the I-beam wheel 4 is rotated by the cooperation of the limiting block 11 and the positioning groove 8, which facilitates the retraction of the aluminum rod by rotating the I-beam wheel 4.
