Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steel ingot processing technology for fork production, and more specifically, to a fork forging steel ingot clamping, flipping and feeding device. Background Technology
[0002] The forks are an important lifting device of a forklift, mainly used for picking up, moving, and stacking goods. They are one of the core components that enable a forklift to perform its material handling function. They come into direct contact with the goods and move them from one position to another through the lifting, forward, and backward movements of the forklift.
[0003] During the production process of forklifts, a forging manipulator is used to transfer unprocessed steel ingots to the forging area for processing. During forging, the forging manipulator rotates the steel ingot to change different positions on the circumference. However, one end of the steel ingot held by the forging manipulator cannot be effectively forged due to obstruction. After forging the remaining area of the steel ingot except for the holding area, the steel ingot needs to be repositioned and the other end needs to be held. Currently, the repositioning of the steel ingot requires an overhead crane and a self-locking spreader. The overhead crane and spreader are prone to swaying during the repositioning process, resulting in poor directional control and requiring repeated adjustments. Therefore, the process for repositioning forklift steel ingots used for forging needs to be optimized. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, and then to propose a forklift for forging steel ingot clamping and turning feeding device.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: A forging forklift device for clamping, flipping, and feeding steel ingots includes a forging manipulator body that moves in the left-right direction to feed the steel ingots, and an electric flatcar. The servo gear deflection assembly is mounted on an electric flatcar that reciprocates in the front-to-back direction. The mounting platform is connected to a servo gear deflection assembly. The first telescopic cylinder is mounted on the mounting platform and is connected to a V-shaped platform. An adjustable-spacing clamping and limiting assembly is mounted on the mounting platform; Position limiting components are respectively installed on the forging manipulator body and the clamping limiting component to limit the relative position of the clamping part of the forging manipulator body and the V-shaped table.
[0006] Furthermore, the servo gear deflection assembly includes a connecting roller, a servo motor, a main gear, and a secondary gear. One end of the connecting roller is rotatably mounted on an electric flatcar, and the other end of the connecting roller is connected to a mounting platform; The servo motor is fixed on the electric flatcar and is connected to the main gear; The auxiliary gear is fixed on the connecting roller and meshes with the main gear.
[0007] Furthermore, the clamping and limiting assembly includes a second telescopic cylinder and a clamping plate. The second telescopic cylinder is symmetrically fixed on the mounting platform; The clamping plate corresponds to and is connected to the second telescopic cylinder.
[0008] Furthermore, both the clamping plate and the V-shaped platform are provided with a high-temperature resistant coating.
[0009] Furthermore, the location defining component includes an infrared transmitter and an infrared receiver. The infrared emitter is fixed on the body of the forging manipulator; An infrared receiver electrically connected to an infrared transmitter is fixed to the outside of one of the clamping plates.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: Compared to existing technologies, this application allows for the automatic unloading, transfer, and repositioning of the steel ingot after the remaining area excluding the clamping area has been forged, in conjunction with a forging manipulator. During the repositioning process, the position of the steel ingot is stably limited, preventing wobbling, and the orientation is accurately controlled without repeated adjustments. After the steel ingot is repositioned, it can be moved back to the clamping side of the forging manipulator for secondary clamping, resulting in a better forging process. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0012] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model. The present utility model will be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments: like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a forging ingot clamping and flipping feeding device for forging production includes a forging manipulator body 1 that moves in the left and right direction to feed the ingots, and also includes an electric flatcar 2, a servo gear deflection assembly 3, a mounting platform 4, a first telescopic cylinder 5, a V-shaped platform 6, a clamping and limiting assembly 7, and a position limiting assembly 8. The servo gear deflection assembly 3 is mounted on the electric flatcar 2, which reciprocates in the front-to-back direction; Mounting platform 4 is connected to servo gear deflection assembly 3; The first telescopic cylinder 5 is mounted on the mounting platform 4, and the first telescopic cylinder 5 is connected to the V-shaped platform 6. An adjustable-spacing clamping and limiting assembly 7 is mounted on the mounting platform 4; Position limiting components 8 are respectively installed on the forging manipulator body 1 and the clamping limiting component 7 to limit the relative position of the clamping part of the forging manipulator body 1 and the V-shaped table 6.
[0013] Specific implementation of the embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the servo gear deflection assembly 3 includes a connecting roller 31, a servo motor 32, a main gear 33, and a secondary gear 34. One end of the connecting roller 31 is rotatably mounted on the electric flat car 2, and the other end of the connecting roller 31 is connected to the mounting platform 4; The servo motor 32 is fixed on the electric flatcar 2, and the servo motor 32 is connected to the main gear 33; The auxiliary gear 34 is fixed on the connecting roller 31 and meshes with the main gear 33.
[0014] Specific implementation of the embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the clamping and limiting assembly 7 includes a second telescopic cylinder 71 and a clamping plate 72. The second telescopic cylinder 71 is symmetrically fixed on the mounting platform 4; The clamping plate 72 corresponds to and is connected to the second telescopic cylinder 71; In order to extend the service life of the clamping plate 72 and the V-shaped stage 6, the above embodiment is further optimized by providing a high-temperature resistant coating on both the clamping plate 72 and the V-shaped stage 6.
[0015] Specific implementation of the embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the position limiting component 8 includes an infrared transmitter 81 and an infrared receiver 82. Infrared emitter 81 is fixed on the forging manipulator body 1; An infrared receiver 82, electrically connected to an infrared transmitter 81, is fixed to the outside of one of the clamping plates 72 (which is close to the forging machine body 1 located in the region to its left).
[0016] It should be noted that the forging manipulator body 1, electric flat car 2, servo motor 32, first telescopic cylinder 5, second telescopic cylinder 71, infrared transmitter 81 and infrared receiver 82 are all electrically connected to the controller, which is installed on the forging manipulator body 1.
[0017] The working process of this utility model: First, the steel ingot is clamped by the forging manipulator. Then, the forging manipulator is manually controlled by the controller to move to the right and transport the steel ingot to the forging position for forging (at this time, the electric flatcar 2 is away from the travel path of the forging manipulator). After the remaining area of the steel ingot except the clamping area has been forged, the forging manipulator is controlled by the controller to move back to the left side of the travel path of the electric flatcar 2 (i.e., move to the left and away from the forging area). Then, the electric flatcar 2 is controlled by the controller to move closer to the travel path of the forging manipulator. When the signal emitted by the infrared transmitter 81 is received by the infrared receiver 82, the electric flatcar 2 stops. At this time, the V-shaped platform 6 is just below the steel ingot. It should be noted that the length of the steel ingot after forging is longer than the V-shaped platform 6. Then, the controller operates the first telescopic cylinder 5, which drives the V-shaped platform 6 to rise. When the V-shaped platform 6 contacts the steel ingot, the operation of the first telescopic cylinder 5 stops. Before the forging manipulator releases the clamp on one end of the steel ingot, the left and right positions of the steel ingot can be finely adjusted so that both ends of the steel ingot extend to the outside of the V-shaped platform 6 and are placed stably on the V-shaped platform 6. Then, the steel ingot can move down with the V-shaped platform 6 after the clamp is released. After the movement is completed, both ends of the steel ingot are in the area between the two clamping plates 72. Then, the controller controls the operation of the second telescopic cylinder 71 to achieve the clamping limit of the steel ingot. After the clamping and limiting are completed, the servo gear deflection component 3 is controlled by the controller to achieve a 180-degree rotation of the steel ingot. This allows for accurate reversal of the steel ingot without any shaking during the reversal. After the steel ingot is repositioned, the clamping is released, and the steel ingot is driven to move upwards to one side of the clamping part of the forging manipulator. The other end of the steel ingot can then be clamped a second time by the forging manipulator. Once the other end of the steel ingot is clamped, the V-shaped table 6 moves away from the steel ingot, and the electric flatcar 2 moves away from the travel path of the forging manipulator. This allows for effective conveying and forging of the previously clamped area of the steel ingot. After forging is completed, subsequent processing of the forks can be performed.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments.
