Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ductile iron water grate production technology, specifically a handling equipment for ductile iron water grate production. Background Technology
[0002] Ductile iron grates are a type of grating used in municipal drainage systems. Installed at road storm drains or open ditches, their main functions are to intercept debris, prevent it from falling, and ensure unobstructed drainage. They are primarily made of ductile iron, with some products featuring a resin coating to enhance corrosion resistance. The structure consists of a support and the grate itself, with drainage holes on the grate surface (hole width ≤ 32mm, drainage area ≥ 25%). Compared to traditional cast iron, this material offers higher strength and durability, making it suitable for diverse applications such as green spaces and driveways.
[0003] After production, ductile iron water grates reach high temperatures. Existing handling equipment cannot cool the grates during transport, resulting in prolonged cooling times and disruptions to subsequent production processes. Therefore, we have designed a handling device for ductile iron water grate production. Utility Model Content

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0022] Please see Figures 1-5 A handling device for the production of ductile iron water grates includes a base 1, with shock-absorbing casters 8 installed at the four corners of the bottom of the base 1. A heat insulation baffle 2 is fixedly connected to the left side of the top of the base 1. A support plate 10 is connected to the left side of the base 1. A drive motor 9 is installed at the bottom of the support plate 10. The output end of the drive motor 9 passes through the support plate 10 and is connected to an electric telescopic rod 11. The telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 11 is connected to a top plate 6. Moving slots 5 are opened through the front and rear sides of the top ...
[0023] As a technical optimization of this utility model, mounting screw holes are provided through the four corners of the top of the cooling fan 7 and the top of the support block 15. A protective cover 14 is installed at the center of the top of the top plate 6 and outside the cooling fan 7. The top of the protective cover 14 is on the same plane as the top of the cooling fan 7. The mounting screw holes facilitate the positioning and installation of the cooling fan 7 using external bolts. The protective cover 14 provides protection for the top of the cooling fan 7.
[0024] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a control panel 13 is installed on the rear side of the left side of the heat insulation baffle 2, a rechargeable battery 12 is installed on the top of the support plate 10, and push rods 4 are connected to the top of the front and rear sides of the electric telescopic rod 11. The control panel 13 can be used to control each electrical component, and the rechargeable battery 12 can be used to provide power to each electrical component. The two push rods 4 are installed on the outer shell of the fixed end of the electric telescopic rod 11. With the cooperation of the shock-absorbing casters 8, the push rods 4 can be used to facilitate the movement of the transport equipment.
[0025] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the conveying component 3 includes two positioning blocks 31, and a guide rod 32 is connected between the two positioning blocks 31. A linear motor 38 is sleeved on the outside of the guide rod 32. A moving plate 34 is connected to the bottom of the opposite side of the two linear motors 38. The moving plate 34 is located at the top of the moving slot 5. The bottom of the positioning block 31 is connected to the top plate 6. The positioning block 31 can support the guide rod 32, which facilitates the left and right movement of the linear motor 38. The bottom of the linear motor 38 slides in contact with the top of the top plate 6. A gap is left between the opposite side of the two moving plates 34 and the protective cover 14.
[0026] As a technical optimization of this utility model, an electric telescopic rod 33 is installed through the top of the movable plate 34, and an L-shaped plate 35 is connected to the bottom of the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 33; the electric telescopic rod 33 can drive the L-shaped plate 35 to move down when it extends.
[0027] As a technical optimization of this utility model, an electric telescopic rod 37 is installed through the two L-shaped plates 35 on opposite sides. The telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 37 is connected to a heat-insulating clamp 39. An electromagnetic chuck 36 is installed on the opposite sides of the two heat-insulating clamps 39. The heat-insulating clamp 39 is made of silicon carbide ceramic and has a thickness of 3-5mm. When the heat-insulating clamp 39 clamps the ductile iron grate, the temperature of the ductile iron grate must be below 600℃. The silicon carbide ceramic can withstand a maximum temperature of 800℃. When the temperature of the ductile iron is ≤700℃, it retains its ferromagnetism and can be attracted. When the thickness of the silicon carbide ceramic is ≤5mm, the magnetic attraction force attenuation rate is <15%, and the magnetic attraction force attenuation is negligible. At this time, the energized electromagnetic chuck 36 can attract the ductile iron grate.
[0028] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the bottom of the movable plate 34 slides in contact with the top of the top plate 6, and the distance between the two positioning blocks 31 is the same as the lateral length of the inner wall of the movable slot 5; the movable plate 34 facilitates the installation of the electric telescopic rod 33.
[0029] In use, the handling equipment is moved to the vicinity of the ductile iron grate to be moved, and the braking function of the shock-absorbing caster wheel 8 is restored. At this time, the temperature of the produced ductile iron grate needs to be cooled to below 600℃. The operation of the handling equipment is controlled by the control panel 13. The drive motor 9 first rotates forward or in reverse, driving the electric telescopic rod 11 to rotate. The electric telescopic rod 11 drives the top plate 6 on its top to rotate, so that the top plate 6 moves above the ductile iron grate to be moved. When the drive motor 9 is running, the cooling fan 7 is turned on simultaneously, so that the air on the top of the top plate 6 is drawn to the bottom of the top plate 6, increasing the air flow speed, and using the high-speed air flow to cool the ductile iron grate.
[0030] When the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 11 retracts, it moves the top plate 6 and its components downwards, causing the heat insulation clamp 39 to move down to both sides of the ductile iron grate. If the heat insulation clamp 39 is still above the ductile iron grate, the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 33 can extend, moving the heat insulation clamp 39 down to both sides of the ductile iron grate. Subsequently, the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 37 extends, causing the heat insulation clamp 39 to move toward the ductile iron grate. After clamping the ductile iron grate, the electromagnetic chuck 36 is energized, using the electromagnetic chuck 36 to attract the ductile iron grate, preventing the ductile iron grate from detaching from the two heat insulation clamps 39 during subsequent transfer.
[0031] The telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 11 extends (the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 33 retracts), and simultaneously the drive motor 9 rotates in reverse or forward, causing the top plate 6 to move above the base 1. Then, the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 11 retracts (the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 33 extends), causing the heat insulation plate 39 to move downwards, placing the ductile iron sump grate on top of the base 1. The electromagnetic chuck 36 is de-energized, placing the ductile iron sump grate on the base 1. The next ductile iron sump grate is then transferred to the transport equipment, and this process is repeated to transfer several ductile iron sump grate grates. The braking function of the shock-absorbing caster 8 is then removed, and the push rod 4 is pushed. With the cooperation of the shock-absorbing caster 8, the transport equipment moves to the unloading point. The braking function of the shock-absorbing caster 8 is then restored, and the ductile iron sump grate is unloaded. Furthermore, during the loading and unloading of the ductile iron water grate, depending on the position of the ductile iron water grate, the linear motor 38 can move to the left or right outside the guide rod 32, thereby changing the position of the heat insulation plate 39.
[0032] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model, but the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of this utility model, should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
