Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of copper rod technology, and in particular to a copper rod straightening and feeding platform. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of metal processing, copper rods are an important industrial raw material, widely used in various industries such as machinery manufacturing, power engineering, and aerospace. Among them, large-diameter copper rods (diameter range of 100mm-150mm) play an irreplaceable role in key parts such as conductive components and structural support components of large equipment due to their good electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, and mechanical strength.

[0003] However, large-diameter copper bars are prone to bending deformation after cold working (such as rolling and drawing) or heat treatment (such as annealing and quenching) processes due to uneven internal stress distribution. This bending not only affects the subsequent processing accuracy of the copper bars, leading to dimensional deviations, but may also cause safety hazards during use due to uneven stress. Therefore, a straightening process is necessary to correct its straightness. Currently, the industry commonly uses equipment such as roller straighteners and pressure straighteners to force the copper bars back to a straight state using mechanical force, ensuring that their straightness along the length direction meets relevant standards.

[0004] In actual production, large-diameter copper rods are quite heavy (a single rod can weigh hundreds of kilograms), which poses many challenges to the feeding process in the straightening stage. Furthermore, to improve production efficiency, the feed inlet of the straightening machine is usually located at a high position, further increasing the difficulty of feeding.

[0005] In existing technologies, feeding large-diameter copper rods mostly employs direct hoisting or simple conveyor frames. Direct hoisting is difficult to operate, requiring the copper rod to be aligned with the feed inlet of the straightening machine and then manually pushed into the machine, which is difficult to meet the needs of continuous production and also poses a safety risk of the copper rod falling due to improper operation. Simple conveyor frames mostly lack material storage functions, requiring frequent machine stops for reloading, which seriously affects production continuity, and also requires manual pushing, resulting in high labor intensity for workers.

[0006] It is evident that existing technologies still need improvement and enhancement. Utility Model Content

[0007] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a copper rod straightening and feeding platform that simultaneously has the functions of material storage, material distribution and lateral feeding.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0009] A copper rod straightening and feeding platform includes a foot pedal, a support frame located in front of the foot pedal, and a transverse feeding structure, a storage structure, and a distribution structure located on top of the support frame. The transverse feeding structure is located adjacent to the foot pedal. The storage structure stores copper rods and causes them to roll towards the transverse feeding structure. A limiting block is provided at the lowest point of the storage structure. The distribution structure pushes the copper rod that is against the limiting block upward away from the limiting block, causing the copper rod to roll onto the transverse feeding structure. The transverse feeding structure includes two transversely extending crossbeams, a longitudinal beam connecting the two crossbeams, and multiple feeding wheels rotatably arranged between the two crossbeams and spaced apart. A reduction motor is provided on each crossbeam, and the reduction motor is driven by the feeding wheel closest to the straightener.

[0010] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the material storage structure includes multiple guide plates inclined towards the crossbeam, the lower end of the guide plates being connected to the crossbeam located on the inner side, and the upper ends of all the guide plates being connected by a connecting beam.

[0011] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the material distribution structure is provided in at least two parts, each material distribution structure including a material distribution plate and a lifting cylinder for driving the material distribution plate to move up and down, and the top of the material distribution plate is provided with a sliding slope.

[0012] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, a sliding sleeve for guiding the material distribution plate to move up and down is provided at the connection angle between the guide plate and the crossbeam.

[0013] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, a U-shaped groove is provided on the crossbeam, the feeding wheels are all V-shaped grooved wheel structures, and a bearing is sleeved on the end shaft of the feeding shaft, the bearing being embedded in the U-shaped groove.

[0014] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the feeding wheel is a solid stainless steel material with an anti-slip rubber layer on its surface.

[0015] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, a first controller for controlling the start and stop of the motor and a second controller for controlling the start and stop of the lifting cylinder are provided on the outer crossbeam.

[0016] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the highest point of the storage structure is provided with an upwardly extending baffle, and the side of the transverse feeding structure near the foot pedal is provided with an upwardly extending baffle.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The copper rod straightening and feeding platform provided by this utility model can store a certain number of copper rods through the storage structure, eliminating the need for frequent machine stops to replenish materials. The material distribution structure precisely pushes away the copper rods that are pressed against the limit block, ensuring that only one copper rod is conveyed to the transverse feeding structure at a time. The single-rod separation conveying method avoids congestion or collisions caused by multiple copper rods rolling down at the same time, ensuring the orderliness of the feeding process and allowing copper rods to be continuously supplied according to the processing rhythm of the straightener. This completely solves the problem of chaotic feeding caused by the lack of material distribution function in simple conveyor frames, ensuring that the transverse feeding structure can continuously and stably convey copper rods to the straightener, meeting the needs of continuous production, and significantly improving overall production efficiency.

Detailed Implementation

[0024] This utility model provides a copper rod straightening and feeding platform. To make the purpose, technical solution, and effects of this utility model clearer and more explicit, the following describes this utility model in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0025] Please see Figures 1 to 5This utility model provides a copper rod straightening and feeding platform, including a foot pedal 1, a support 2 set in front of the foot pedal 1, a transverse feeding structure 3, a storage structure 4, and a distribution structure 5 set on the top of the support 2. The transverse feeding structure 3 is set adjacent to the foot pedal 1. The storage structure 4 is used to store copper rods 91 and make the copper rods 91 tend to roll towards the transverse feeding structure 3. The lowest point of the storage structure 4 is provided with a limiting block 41. The distribution structure 5 is used to push the copper rod 91 that is abutting against the limiting block 41 upward away from the limiting block 41, so that the copper rod 91 rolls down onto the transverse feeding structure 3. The transverse feeding structure 3 includes two transversely extending crossbeams 31, a longitudinal beam 32 connecting the two crossbeams 31, and a plurality of feeding wheels 33 rotatably arranged between the two crossbeams 31 and spaced apart. A reduction motor 34 is provided on the crossbeam 31, and the reduction motor 34 is drivenly connected to the feeding wheel 33 closest to the straightener 6.

[0026] In this copper rod straightening and feeding platform, the footrest 1 provides standing and operating space for the operator. The storage structure 4 is used to store a large number of copper rods 91. Due to the rolling slope formed by the storage structure 4, the copper rods 91 naturally tend to roll towards the transverse feeding structure 3. The limiting block 41 is set at the lowest point of the storage structure 4 to prevent the copper rods 91 from rolling, ensuring that only one copper rod 91 is to be fed at a time. When feeding is required, the distribution structure 5 is activated, lifting the copper rod 91 that is against the limiting block 41 upwards, allowing it to break free from the constraint of the limiting block 41 and then roll down onto the transverse feeding structure 3 under the action of gravity.

[0027] The two crossbeams 31 and the longitudinal beam 32 of the transverse feeding structure 3 form a stable frame. When the reduction motor 34 on the crossbeam 31 starts, its power is transmitted to the feeding wheel 33 (i.e. the driving wheel) closest to the straightener 6. The feeding wheel 33 rotates and pulls the copper rod 91 to move towards the straightener 6. The other feeding wheels 33 are driven wheels, which passively support the copper rod 91, thereby driving the copper rod 91 placed on the feeding wheel 33 to move towards the straightener 6, thus completing the feeding process.

[0028] The copper rod straightening and feeding platform provided by this utility model can store a certain number of copper rods 91 through the storage structure 4, eliminating the need for frequent machine shutdowns to replenish materials. The material distribution structure 5 precisely pushes the copper rods 91 that are abutting against the limit block 41 away, ensuring that only one copper rod 91 is conveyed to the transverse feeding structure 3 at a time. The single-rod separation conveying method avoids congestion or collisions caused by multiple copper rods 91 rolling down at the same time, ensuring the orderliness of the feeding process and allowing the copper rods 91 to be continuously supplied according to the processing rhythm of the straightener 6. It completely solves the problem of chaotic feeding caused by the lack of material distribution function in simple conveyor frames, ensuring that the transverse feeding structure 3 can continuously and stably convey the copper rods 91 to the straightener 6, meeting the needs of continuous production and greatly improving the overall production efficiency.

[0029] The outer crossbeam 31 is equipped with a first controller 71 for controlling the start and stop of the motor and a second controller 72 for controlling the start and stop of the lifting cylinder 52. Since the first controller 71 and the second controller 72 are located on the outer crossbeam 31, which is easily accessible to the operator, the operator can easily operate them while standing on the foot pedal 1, making the start and stop control of the feeding platform more efficient and convenient, especially suitable for quickly responding to feeding needs in continuous production.

[0030] The first controller 71 is dedicated to controlling the start and stop of the geared motor 34, while the second controller 72 focuses on the start and stop of the lifting cylinder 52 (the driving component of the material distribution structure 5). Their functions are clearly defined. The operator can flexibly control the operation and stop of the feeding wheel 33 in the transverse feeding structure 3 according to the processing rhythm of the straightener 6, ensuring that the conveying speed of the copper rod 91 matches the feeding speed of the straightener 6. Simultaneously, the second controller 72 precisely controls the lifting action of the material distribution structure 5, achieving accurate separation and transfer of individual copper rods 91, avoiding excessive feeding due to inaccurate control, and further ensuring the orderly and accurate feeding.

[0031] Specifically, the storage structure 4 includes multiple guide plates 42 inclined towards the crossbeam 31. The lower ends of the guide plates 42 are connected to the inner crossbeam 31, and the higher ends of all the guide plates 42 are connected by connecting beams 43. The multiple guide plates 42 cooperate to form a stable storage space, which can simultaneously store multiple large-diameter copper rods 91. The surface of the guide plates 42 is smooth, and with the help of gravity, the copper rods 91 placed on them naturally tend to roll towards the transverse feeding structure 3, without the need for additional power to drive the copper rods 91 to move, thus saving energy consumption and simplifying the feeding process.

[0032] It is worth mentioning that the large-diameter copper rod 91 is heavy and bulky, and there is a certain gap between the guide plates 42, which reduces the contact area between the copper rod 91 and the storage structure 4, thereby reducing the friction of the copper rod 91 during rolling and allowing it to move more smoothly towards the lower end (i.e., towards the inner crossbeam 31). In addition, the tilt angle (e.g., 8°-10°) can be reasonably designed according to the weight and size of the copper rod 91 to ensure that the copper rod 91 can roll smoothly without colliding or going out of control due to excessive rolling speed, effectively protecting the surface quality of the copper rod 91 and the safety of the equipment.

[0033] In this embodiment, at least two material distribution structures 5 are provided, which can push the copper rod 91 from different positions, avoiding the problems of uneven force, tilting, or even jamming that may occur when pushing with a single material distribution structure 5. Each material distribution structure 5 includes a material distribution plate 51 and a lifting cylinder 52 for driving the material distribution plate 51 to move up and down. The top of the material distribution plate 51 is provided with a sliding ramp 511. When the lifting cylinder 52 drives the material distribution plate 51 to push the copper rod 91 upward, the sliding ramp 511 on the top of the material distribution plate 51 plays a guiding role, and the copper rod 91 will slide naturally along the sliding ramp 511, making the movement trajectory of the copper rod 91 smoother and more controllable.

[0034] When material distribution is required, the piston rods of all lifting cylinders 52 extend upwards synchronously, driving each distribution plate 51 to move upwards. At this time, the sliding ramp 511 at the top of the distribution plate 51 will contact the copper rod 91 to be distributed that abuts against the limiting block 41 in the storage structure 4. Due to the inclined angle of the sliding ramp 511, the copper rod 91 will slide upwards along the sliding ramp 511 under the combined action of the upward pushing force of the distribution plate 51 and the component of its own weight along the ramp direction, gradually breaking away from the obstruction of the limiting block 41. As the distribution plate 51 continues to rise, the copper rod 91 is completely pushed away from the limiting block 41, and then, under the action of gravity, it slides smoothly down onto the transverse feeding structure 3 along the inclined direction of the sliding ramp 511. The back of the distribution plate 51 is set as a retaining ramp perpendicular to the guide ramp 42, which prevents other copper rods 91 on the storage structure 4 from rolling downwards during material distribution. After one material distribution is completed, the lifting cylinder 52 retracts, and the material distribution plate 51 returns to its original position, awaiting the next material distribution command.

[0035] Furthermore, a sliding sleeve 53 is provided at the connection angle between the guide plate 42 and the crossbeam 31 to guide the material distribution plate 51 to move up and down. The sliding sleeve 53 provides a clear guide path for the up and down movement of the material distribution plate 51, which can effectively constrain the movement direction of the material distribution plate 51 and prevent it from deviating, tilting or shaking due to uneven force, vibration or other factors during lifting or lowering.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment, the crossbeam 31 is provided with a U-shaped groove 311, and the feeding wheels 33 are all V-grooved wheel structures with bearings 312 sleeved on the end shaft of the feeding shaft. The bearings 312 are embedded in the U-shaped groove 311. The feeding wheel 33 adopts a V-grooved wheel structure, and its V-groove can form a good fit with the outer surface of the large-diameter copper rod 91, which can reliably guide and limit the copper rod 91 from both sides, preventing the copper rod 91 from axially shifting or rolling off during the conveying process. At the same time, the V-groove design allows the weight of the copper rod 91 to be evenly distributed on the inclined surfaces on both sides of the groove wheel, reducing local wear and extending the service life of the feeding wheel 33, which is especially suitable for conveying heavy, large-diameter copper rods 91.

[0037] Preferably, the feeding wheel 33 is made of stainless steel and has an anti-slip rubber layer on its surface. Stainless steel has high mechanical strength and excellent corrosion resistance. As the solid base material of the feeding wheel 33, it can withstand the heavy pressure of the large-diameter copper rod 91 and the wear caused by long-term rotation, and is not easily deformed or damaged. The anti-slip rubber layer on the surface of the feeding wheel 33 can significantly improve the coefficient of friction with the surface of the copper rod 91, avoiding slippage when conveying the large-diameter copper rod 91 due to its large weight and smooth surface. The reliable friction between the anti-slip rubber layer and the copper rod 91 ensures that the rotational power of the feeding wheel 33 can be effectively transmitted to the copper rod 91, so that the copper rod 91 can move forward synchronously and smoothly with the feeding wheel 33 without stagnation or displacement deviation. This further improves the accuracy and stability of the transverse feeding structure 3, and works synergistically with the guiding and limiting function of the V-grooved wheel to provide double protection for the efficient conveying of the copper rod 91.

[0038] Preferably, the highest point of the storage structure 4 is provided with an upwardly extending baffle 81, and the side of the transverse feeding structure 3 near the footrest 1 is provided with an upwardly extending baffle 82. The upward extension of the baffle 81 forms a physical barrier at the edge of the storage area, preventing the copper rod 91 from rolling outwards. In particular, it reliably limits the copper rod 91 located at the top of the storage structure 4, preventing it from falling and causing equipment damage or personal injury, thus significantly improving the safety of the storage process. In addition, the baffle 82 is located on the side of the transverse feeding structure 3 near the footrest 1, effectively blocking the copper rod 91 during transport from this side, preventing the copper rod 91 from deviating towards the footrest 1 where the operator is located and falling. This design protects the safety of the operator and avoids material loss or equipment collision caused by the falling copper rod 91, ensuring a smooth and orderly transverse feeding process.
