Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of quenching basket handling technology, specifically to a quenching basket picking and placing device. Background Technology
[0002] In the production and processing of wear-resistant steel balls, quenching is a key step in improving their performance. After the wear-resistant steel balls have completed the heat treatment process in the quenching furnace, the quenching basket containing the wear-resistant steel balls needs to be removed from the quenching furnace and placed on the conveyor line for subsequent processing.
[0003] Currently, in most production scenarios, manual labor is used to pull quenching baskets. However, quenching baskets are often at high temperatures after quenching, and workers are easily burned by the high temperature when pulling them manually, posing a significant safety hazard. In addition, the quenching baskets and wear-resistant steel balls are quite heavy, and manual pulling is physically demanding, inefficient, and makes it difficult to accurately control the placement position. This can easily lead to misalignment between the quenching baskets and the conveyor line, affecting the smoothness of subsequent processing and hindering the company's need for automated and efficient production. Utility Model Content
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, a quenching basket picking and placing device is provided, which solves the problems existing in the background technology.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a quenching basket picking and placing device, which consists of a support mechanism and a working mechanism;
[0006] The support mechanism consists of two support frames, which are symmetrically distributed front and back to provide sliding guidance and load support for the working mechanism.
[0007] The working mechanism includes a sliding worktable that slides between the two support frames. One side of the sliding worktable is provided with a docking component for extending into the furnace to connect with a quenching basket, and the other side of the sliding worktable is provided with a pushing component.
[0008] The docking component includes a connecting assembly rotatable within the sliding worktable, a fastening assembly located at one end of the connecting assembly, and a matching assembly located at the other end of the connecting assembly.
[0009] Preferably, the pushing component is a cylinder, the telescopic end of the cylinder is fixedly connected to the sliding worktable, and a bearing plate is fixed between the two support frames. The cylinder is mounted on the bearing plate by a mounting hoop.
[0010] Preferably, the connecting assembly includes a pivot that rotates laterally between the inner walls of both sides of the sliding worktable and two swing arms that are symmetrically fitted at an angle to the pivot shaft.
[0011] Preferably, the fastening assembly includes a connecting plate fixedly connected between the ends of the two swing arms away from the cylinder, and the connecting plate is provided with a connecting block in the shape of a right trapezoid.
[0012] Preferably, the distribution unit includes a cargo box fixed between the two swing arms near one end of the cylinder, and the cargo box has a box-like structure.
[0013] Preferably, the connecting plate has an opening on the side away from the swing arm, and a flipping component is provided in the opening;
[0014] The flipping component includes a flipping rod located laterally within the opening and a flipping plate sleeved on the body of the flipping rod. One end of the flipping rod rotates through the connecting plate and is fixed with a torsion block. There are four connecting blocks, divided into two groups and respectively disposed on the upper and lower surfaces of the flipping plate.
[0015] Preferably, the rotating rod outside the connecting plate has a sliding sleeve slidably fitted onto its body via a keyway structure. A compression spring is provided between one side of the sliding sleeve and the torsion block, and an insert block is fixed to the other side of the sliding sleeve.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: Through the setting of the working mechanism, when the furnace door of the quenching furnace needs to be opened for the removal of the quenching basket, the sliding working table is pushed smoothly to one side of the quenching furnace by the pushing component in advance, so that the docking component extends into the furnace and docks with the quenching basket. Then, the sliding working table is pulled back by the pushing component again. With the connection force between the docking component and the quenching basket, the quenching basket is stably pulled out of the furnace along the preset trajectory. During the process, the guide limit of the support mechanism ensures that the quenching basket moves straight, avoiding scratching the furnace mouth or tilting. The quenching basket is efficiently and safely transferred to the connection position of the external conveyor line, laying a solid foundation for the subsequent processing.

[0024] The following description is intended to disclose the present invention so that those skilled in the art can implement it. The preferred embodiments described below are merely examples, and other obvious variations will occur to those skilled in the art.
[0025] Reference Figure 1-3 As shown, a quenching basket picking and placing device is provided, which consists of a support mechanism and a working mechanism;
[0026] The support mechanism consists of two support frames 1, which are symmetrically distributed front and back to provide sliding guidance and load support for the working mechanism.
[0027] The working mechanism includes a sliding worktable 2 that slides between two support frames 1. One side of the sliding worktable 2 is provided with a docking component for extending into the furnace to connect with the quenching basket, and the other side of the sliding worktable 2 is provided with a pushing component.
[0028] By setting up the working mechanism, when the furnace door of the quenching furnace needs to be opened and the quenching basket needs to be removed, the sliding worktable 2 is pushed smoothly towards one side of the quenching furnace using the pushing component, so that the docking component extends into the furnace and docks with the quenching basket. Then, the sliding worktable 2 is pulled back by the pushing component again. With the connection force between the docking component and the quenching basket, the quenching basket is stably pulled out of the furnace along the preset trajectory. During the process, the guide limit of the support mechanism ensures that the quenching basket moves straight, avoiding scratching the furnace mouth or tilting. The quenching basket is efficiently and safely transferred to the connection position of the external conveyor line, laying a solid foundation for the subsequent processing.
[0029] Furthermore, referring to Figure 1 As shown, it is worth noting that the pushing component is a cylinder 3. The telescopic end of the cylinder 3 is fixedly connected to the sliding worktable 2. A bearing plate 4 is also fixed between the two support frames 1. The cylinder 3 is installed on the bearing plate 4 through the mounting clamp 5.
[0030] When the quenching basket is picked up or placed, the extension of cylinder 3 can smoothly push the sliding worktable 2 towards the quenching furnace side, so that the docking parts can be smoothly inserted into the furnace to dock with the quenching basket; the retraction of cylinder 3 can precisely pull the sliding worktable 2 back, carrying the quenching basket back along the support mechanism, realizing the efficient and controllable transfer of the quenching basket from the furnace to the conveyor line, ensuring the stability of power output and the continuity of action in the picking and placing operation.
[0031] Furthermore, referring to Figure 2 As shown, it is worth noting that the docking components include a connecting group that can rotate within the sliding worktable 2, a fastening group located at one end of the connecting group, and a matching group located at the other end of the connecting group.
[0032] The connecting assembly includes a pivot 7 that rotates laterally between the inner walls of both sides of the sliding worktable 2 and two swing arms 6 that are symmetrically fitted at an angle to the shaft of the pivot 7.
[0033] The fastening assembly includes a connecting plate 9 fixedly connected between the ends of the two swing arms 6 away from the cylinder 3, and the connecting plate 9 is provided with a connecting block 10 in the shape of a right trapezoid.
[0034] The assembly includes a cargo box 8 fixed between the two swing arms 6 near one end of the cylinder 3, and the cargo box 8 has a box-like structure.
[0035] By setting up the docking components, when the cylinder 3 pushes the sliding worktable 2 close to the quenching furnace, the connecting block 10 of the fastening group is guided by the right-angled trapezoidal inclined surface, automatically corrects the deviation, and accurately snaps into the quenching basket slot. The swing arm 6 and the rotating shaft 7 of the connecting group can adapt to small errors in the furnace and avoid rigid collisions. When the sliding worktable 2 is pulled in the opposite direction, the load box 8 is used to balance the gravitational torque with a counterweight to prevent the fastening group from overturning and ensure that the connecting block 10 is always firmly fastened to the quenching basket. The corner structure of the swing arm 6 creates a lever balance. No additional power is required. Stable docking and pulling are achieved by mechanical characteristics, which improves the reliability and life of the device.
[0036] Furthermore, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, it is worth noting that the connecting plate 9 has an opening on the side away from the swing arm 6, and a flipping component is provided in the opening.
[0037] The flipping component includes a flipping rod 12 located laterally in the opening and a flipping plate 11 sleeved on the body of the flipping rod 12. One end of the flipping rod 12 rotates through the connecting plate 9 and is fixed with a torsion block 13. There are four connecting blocks 10, which are divided into two groups and respectively set on the upper and lower surfaces of the flipping plate 11.
[0038] One set of connecting blocks 10 is symmetrically distributed on the left edge of the upper surface of the flip plate 11, and the other set of connecting blocks 10 is symmetrically distributed on the right edge of the lower surface of the flip plate 11. The two sets of connecting blocks 10 are diagonally staggered in the thickness direction of the flip plate 11.
[0039] By using the flipping mechanism, when the connecting block 10 on one side of the flipping plate 11 wears out after long-term use, the operator can use a tool to rotate the torsion block 13, causing the flipping rod 12 to rotate 180°, thus switching the connecting block 10 on the other side of the flipping plate 11 to the working position. This design eliminates the need to disassemble and replace the entire docking component; the docking function can be quickly restored through a simple flipping operation, significantly reducing equipment maintenance time and costs.
[0040] Furthermore, referring to Figure 4 As shown, it is worth noting that the rotating rod 12 is located outside the connecting plate 9 and is slidably fitted with a sliding sleeve 14 through a keyway structure. A compression spring 16 is provided between one side of the sliding sleeve 14 and the torsion block 13, and an insert block 15 is fixed on the other side of the sliding sleeve 14. A fixing hole adapted to the insert block 15 is provided on the side wall of the connecting plate 9.
[0041] There are two fixing holes, which are symmetrically distributed on the upper and lower sides of the axis of the flipping rod 12, and the line connecting the centers of the two fixing holes is perpendicular to the flipping plane of the flipping plate 11.
[0042] With the sliding sleeve 14, the insert block 15, and the compression spring 16, when the connecting block 10 needs to be flipped and switched, the sliding sleeve 14 is pulled outward, the compression spring 16 deforms, and the insert block 15 disengages from the fixing hole, releasing the circumferential limit on the flipping rod 12; rotating the torsion block 13 drives the flipping rod 12 and the flipping plate 11 to rotate 180°, so that the other connecting block 10 is switched to the working position. The sliding sleeve 14 is released, the compression spring 16 elastically resets and pushes the sliding sleeve 14 back, and the insert block 15 accurately engages in the other fixing hole, relocking the position of the flipping rod 12. This structure does not require additional tools. With the automatic reset of the compression spring 16 and the mechanical limit of the insert block 15-fixing hole, a fast and stable flipping and locking is achieved. This not only ensures the docking accuracy of the connecting block 10 after flipping, but also simplifies the operation process, avoids the positioning failure problem caused by frequent flipping, and improves the reliability and maintenance convenience of the device.
[0043] Furthermore, it is worth noting that a stud is fixed to one end of the connecting block 10 facing the flip plate 11, and a screw hole adapted to the stud is provided on the flip plate 11.
[0044] With the studs and screw holes, the connecting block 10 and the flip plate 11 form a detachable threaded connection structure. When the connecting block 10 is severely worn due to long-term high-intensity docking, and can no longer meet the usage requirements by flipping, the operator does not need to replace the entire flip plate 11. He only needs to use a tool to unscrew the worn connecting block 10 and align the studs of the new connecting block with the screw holes on the flip plate 11 and tighten them to complete the replacement.
