[0022] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0023] This application discloses an automatic material rack 1 for a steel bar straightening machine 6 with a safe length-fixing function, referring to... Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The system includes a rebar straightening machine 6 and a material rack 1. The material rack 1 is located on one side of the discharge end of the rebar straightening machine 6. A receiving groove 11 is provided on the material rack 1 along its own length direction. The receiving groove 11 is composed of two parallel and spaced side plates. The top and bottom of the receiving groove 11 are open. A bottom plate 4 is provided at the bottom opening of the receiving groove 11. A second drive assembly is provided on the material rack 1 to drive the bottom plate 4 to move, thereby realizing the opening and closing of the lower opening of the receiving groove 11. A baffle plate 3 is provided on the material rack 1 to close the upper opening of the receiving groove 11. One end opening of the receiving groove 11 is aligned with the discharge end of the rebar straightening machine 6. A length fixing mechanism 2 is provided on the material rack 1. The length fixing mechanism 2 is located on one side of the receiving groove 11 and is used to determine the length of the rebar after passing through the rebar straightening machine 6 and entering the receiving groove 11. A first drive assembly is provided on the material rack 1 to drive the length fixing mechanism 2 to slide along the length direction of the receiving groove 11.
[0024] Reference Figure 4 In this embodiment, the length-fixing mechanism 2 includes a movable base 21. A first slide rail 22 is parallel to one side of the receiving groove 11 on the material rack 1, and the movable base 21 is slidably connected to the first slide rail 22. A rotating rod 23 is rotatably mounted on the movable base 21. The bottom end of the rotating rod 23 extends into the receiving groove 11, and a cylindrical proximity sensor 24 is connected to the top end of the rotating rod 23. A limiting hole 25 is provided on the movable base 21, and the cylindrical proximity sensor 24 passes through the limiting hole 25. The bottom end of the rotating rod 23 hangs down by its own weight to keep the cylindrical proximity sensor 24 in a normally centered state in the limiting hole 25. When the reinforcing bar in the receiving groove 11 passes through, the reinforcing bar abuts against the bottom end of the rotating rod 23, causing the rotating rod 23 to move downwards. 3. Unidirectional rotation: The cylindrical proximity sensor 24 at the top of the rotating rod 23 approaches or abuts the inner wall of the limiting hole 25. The cylindrical proximity sensor 24 is electrically connected to the industrial control terminal, which is also electrically connected to the rebar straightening machine 6. The industrial control terminal receives the distance between the cylindrical proximity sensor 24 and the inner wall of the limiting hole 25 in real time. When the distance is less than the set syntactic distance, it is determined that the rebar has passed the rotating rod 23, and the industrial control terminal controls the rebar straightening machine 6 to stop outputting rebar to the receiving trough 11. After the rebar is discharged from the opening below the receiving trough 11, the rotating rod 23 rotates back to its original position under the action of gravity.
[0025] To ensure that the rotating rod 23 can quickly return to the centered state of the cylindrical proximity sensor 24 in the limiting hole 25 when it rotates and resets, in this embodiment of the application, a limiting block is fixed on the moving seat 21. When the rotating rod 23 rotates and returns to its original position under the action of gravity, the rotating rod 23 abuts against the limiting block, that is, it restricts the cylindrical proximity sensor 24 from being centered in the limiting hole 25, and avoids the situation of false start caused by the reciprocating rotation of the rotating block during the reset process.
[0026] In this embodiment, the first drive assembly includes a first drive motor 51, a drive gear 52, and a rack 53. The rack 53 is fixedly mounted on the material rack 1 along the length of the receiving groove 11. The first drive motor 51 is fixedly mounted on the movable seat 21 by bolts. The drive gear 52 is coaxially connected to the output shaft of the first drive motor 51, and the drive gear 52 meshes with the rack 53. The first drive motor 51 drives the drive gear 52 to rotate in both directions, causing the movable seat 21 to slide on the first slide rail 22.
[0027] Furthermore, to ensure that the contact point of the rebar against the rotating rod 23 is close to the bottom of the rotating rod 23 when it touches the receiving trough 11, and to prevent damage to the cylindrical proximity sensor 24 of the rotating rod 23 due to an excessively high contact point, a guide block 26 is provided on the movable base 21 on the side of the rotating rod 23 closest to the rebar straightening machine 6. The bottom of the guide block 26, on the side closest to the rebar straightening machine 6, has a guide slope, and the bottom of the rotating rod 23 is lower than the bottom of the guide block 26. When the rebar is fed into the receiving trough 11, the end of the rebar abuts against the guide slope. Under the guidance of the guide block 26, the end of the rebar passes under the guide block 26, ensuring that the contact point of the rebar against the rotating rod 23 is close to the bottom of the rotating rod 23.
[0028] To ensure that the reinforcing bar stops feeding promptly after passing the rotating rod 23, in this embodiment, a stop block 27 is provided on the side of the movable seat 21 away from the reinforcing bar straightening machine 6. The stop block 27 extends into the receiving groove 11, and the reinforcing bar abuts against the stop block 27 after passing the bottom end of the rotating rod 23. Furthermore, a second slide rail 27122 is fixedly installed on the transfer seat. The second slide rail 27122 is parallel to the length direction of the receiving groove 11. The stop block 27 is slidably connected to the second slide rail 27122. A threaded hole 272 is provided on the stop block 27. The stop block 27 is fixedly connected to the movable seat 21 by a fastening bolt. The fastening bolt is threaded into the threaded hole 272 and abuts against the movable seat 21. The operator can adjust the position of the stop block 27 on the movable seat 21 to adjust the distance between the stop block 27 and the rotating rod 23, thereby adapting to the response time of the cylindrical proximity sensor 24 from triggering to controlling the rebar straightening machine 6 to stop feeding, so that the stop block 27 can stop the rebar in time.
[0029] Reference Figure 5 To ensure that the rotating rod 23, guide block 26, and stop block 27 on the moving seat 21 can smoothly enter the receiving groove 11 and maintain the blocking effect of the baffle plate 3 on the top opening of the receiving groove 11 during operation, in this embodiment, multiple baffle plates 3 are provided along the length of the receiving groove 11. Each baffle plate 3 is horizontally slidable on the material rack 1 along the width of the receiving groove 11. By sliding the baffle plates 3, the upper opening of the receiving groove 11 can be opened / closed. An elastic element 31 corresponding to the baffle plate 3 and used to drive the baffle plate 3 to slide and maintain the closure of the upper opening of the receiving groove 11 is provided on the material rack 1. Specifically, the elastic element 31 can be a spring, with one end abutting against the material rack 1 and the other end abutting against the baffle plate 3. To ensure the pushing effect of the elastic element 31 on the baffle plate 3, each baffle plate 3 is provided with at least three elastic elements 31.
[0030] A clearance assembly is provided on the movable seat 21 to move the baffle plates 3 on the moving path of the movable seat 21 to one side to open the opening on the receiving groove 11. Specifically, the clearance assembly can be composed of a guide plate 28 and a guide wheel 32. A connecting shaft is vertically fixed to the middle of each baffle plate 3, and a guide wheel 32 is rotatably mounted on the connecting shaft. The guide plate 28 is fixed on the movable seat 21 on the side near the guide wheel 32. Guide surfaces are provided at both ends of the guide plate 28 along the length of the receiving groove 11, and the guide surfaces are inclined away from the side away from the guide wheel 32. When the movable seat 21 moves on the material rack 1, the guide wheel 32 on the path rolls over the side of the guide plate 28 facing the guide wheel 32. Through the guide surfaces on both sides of the guide plate 28, the baffle plates 3 on the path can be pushed to slide, so that only the baffle plate 3 located at the movable seat 21 and pushed by the guide plate 28 opens, while the rest remains closed, maintaining a safe production state.
[0031] In this embodiment, the second driving component can be a driving cylinder. A crank is fixedly connected to the base plate 4, and the end of the crank away from the base plate 4 is rotatably connected to the material rack 1. The driving cylinder is installed on the material rack 1 and drives the crank to rotate. An inclined feeding plate is provided on the material rack 1 below the receiving groove 11. After the steel bar is cut to length, it can be cut manually or automatically. Then, the driving cylinder drives the base plate 4 to rotate and open the lower opening of the receiving groove 11. Under the action of gravity, the steel bar naturally slides down to the feeding plate below and is fed out.
