Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of steel component processing technology, specifically relating to an auxiliary collection device for scrap materials in steel component manufacturing. Background Technology
[0002] In the modern production process of steel components (such as H-beams, box girders, etc.), cutting, welding, and assembly are usually required. Among them, plasma cutting, flame cutting and other processes generate a large number of irregularly shaped and sharp-edged metal scraps. The collection and treatment of these scraps is an indispensable part of the production process, but the existing treatment methods have many drawbacks, which seriously affect production efficiency and operational safety.
[0003] In the production and processing of steel components, the collection of scrap materials is extremely reliant on manual labor, which is inefficient and poses significant safety hazards. In order to improve efficiency, some workshops will set up fixed collection funnels and conveyor belts. However, steel scrap materials falling from heights are heavy and have sharp edges, which have a huge impact force. They will continuously and violently hit the inner wall of the fixed collection funnel and the surface of the conveyor belt. Long-term impact will cause pits, deformation or even cracks on the inner wall of the funnel, and scratches and tears on the conveyor belt. Frequent equipment maintenance and parts replacement greatly increase maintenance costs and affect use. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an auxiliary collection device for scrap materials in the fabrication of steel components, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A scrap material collection device for steel component manufacturing includes: a frame, a conveyor belt mounted on the frame at an angle, a plurality of pusher plates evenly spaced on the conveyor belt, a receiving funnel fixedly mounted on the top of the frame by a mounting frame, the receiving funnel being a frustum-shaped structure with a larger top and a smaller bottom, the receiving funnel being located at the lowest point directly above the conveyor belt, and a flipping mechanism being provided inside the receiving funnel;
[0007] The flipping mechanism includes a rotating rod rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the receiving funnel. A flipping plate is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating rod. The two ends of the flipping plate are arc-shaped. A counterweight assembly is provided at the bottom of the flipping plate. An installation frame is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the receiving funnel. The corresponding end of the rotating rod passes through the receiving funnel and extends into the installation frame. A buffer assembly is provided inside the installation frame.
[0008] Preferably, a rubber plate is fixedly provided on the top of the flip plate, and a wear-resistant liner is provided on the top of the rubber plate. The wear-resistant liner and the flip plate are fixedly connected by bolts, and multiple reinforcing ribs are fixedly provided on the bottom of the flip plate.
[0009] Preferably, the counterweight assembly includes two fixed rods fixedly disposed at the bottom of the flip plate. The two fixed rods are symmetrically disposed at the bottom of the flip plate near the two side edges, and multiple counterweight blocks are sleeved on the outer side walls of the two fixed rods.
[0010] Preferably, the bottom of the fixing rod is provided with an external thread, and the bottom of the fixing rod is threadedly connected to a limiting block, and the inner sidewall of the limiting block is provided with a threaded groove that matches the external thread.
[0011] Preferably, the buffer assembly includes a rotating seat rotatably mounted on the inner side wall of the mounting frame, a connecting block fixedly mounted at the end of the rotating seat, a mounting block fixedly mounted at the end of the rotating rod, a key block fixedly mounted on the outer side wall of the mounting block, and a keyway adapted to the key block on the outer side wall of the connecting block, with the key block inserted into the keyway.
[0012] Preferably, a movable plate is fixedly provided on the top of the rotating seat, the top of the movable plate is arc-shaped, two symmetrically arranged fixed plates are fixedly provided on the inner side wall of the mounting frame, a movable plate is slidably provided on the top of the fixed plate, and a wedge block is fixedly provided on the top of the movable plate, the inclined surface of the wedge block is in contact with the top of the movable plate.
[0013] Preferably, two symmetrically arranged dampers are fixedly installed on the inner sidewall of the mounting frame, and springs are sleeved on the outer sidewall of the dampers. The movable ends of the two dampers are respectively fixedly connected to the outer sidewalls of the corresponding two wedge blocks.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0015] By using a tilting plate mechanism inside the receiving hopper, the huge vertical impact force of the falling scrap is converted into the rotational kinetic energy of the tilting plate, achieving effective buffering and diversion. This greatly reduces direct impact damage to the inner wall of the receiving hopper and the bottom conveyor belt, significantly extending the service life of the equipment. The buffer assembly, through the synergistic action of the damper and the spring, efficiently absorbs the residual energy during the tilting plate's reset process, enabling it to reset quickly and smoothly, ready to meet the next impact, thus ensuring the continuity and stability of the operation.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] Example 1:
[0024] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 5 As shown, an auxiliary collection device for scrap materials in steel component manufacturing includes: a frame 1, a conveyor belt 2 installed on the frame 1, the conveyor belt 2 being inclined, a plurality of pusher plates 3 being equidistantly arranged on the conveyor belt 2, a receiving hopper 5 being fixedly installed on the top of the frame 1 by a mounting frame 4, the receiving hopper 5 being a frustum-shaped structure with a larger top and a smaller bottom, the receiving hopper 5 being located at the lowest point directly above the conveyor belt 2, and a flipping mechanism being installed inside the receiving hopper 5;
[0025] The flipping mechanism includes a rotating rod 6 rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the receiving hopper 5, a flipping plate 7 fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating rod 6, the two ends of the flipping plate 7 being arc-shaped, a counterweight assembly at the bottom of the flipping plate 7, an installation frame 9 fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the receiving hopper 5, the corresponding end of the rotating rod 6 penetrating the receiving hopper 5 and extending into the installation frame 9, and a buffer assembly inside the installation frame 9.
[0026] As can be seen from the above, when the receiving hopper 5 is placed below the cutting equipment, the scraps of the steel components are cut off during the manufacturing process and fall into the receiving hopper 5, landing on the tilting plate 7. The weight of the scraps themselves causes the tilting plate 7 to tilt, so that the scraps slide down from the side wall of the receiving hopper 5, avoiding the scraps from directly hitting the inner wall of the receiving hopper 5 and the conveyor belt 2, preventing damage to the receiving hopper 5 and the conveyor belt 2, and ensuring a longer service life of the equipment.
[0027] After the scrap material is flipped by the tilting plate 7, it slides down. The tilting plate 7 is stably reset under the combined action of the counterweight component and the buffer component, so that the device can continue to work. The conveyor belt 2 and the pusher plate 3 drive the material to move upward. A collection box is placed at the end of the conveyor belt 2 to collect the scrap material in a concentrated manner, which is convenient for subsequent recycling and processing of the scrap material.
[0028] Specifically, regarding the aforementioned counterweight assembly, the counterweight assembly includes two fixed rods 11 fixedly installed at the bottom of the flip plate 7. The two fixed rods 11 are symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the flip plate 7 near the two side edges, and multiple counterweight blocks 12 are sleeved on the outer side walls of the two fixed rods 11.
[0029] The bottom of the fixing rod 11 is provided with an external thread, and the bottom of the fixing rod 11 is threadedly connected to a limiting block 13. The inner side wall of the limiting block 13 is provided with a threaded groove that matches the external thread.
[0030] A rubber plate 10 is fixedly installed on the top of the flip plate 7, and a wear-resistant liner 8 is provided on the top of the rubber plate 10. The wear-resistant liner 8 and the flip plate 7 are fixedly connected by bolts. Multiple reinforcing ribs 14 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the flip plate 7.
[0031] As can be seen from the above, after the tilting plate 7 tilts, the counterweight component facilitates its reset and restoration to a horizontal state. The wear-resistant liner 8 on the top of the tilting plate 7 is connected by bolts and directly bears the violent impact and friction of the material. It can be easily replaced after wear, which greatly reduces maintenance costs and downtime. The rubber plate 10 below the wear-resistant liner 8 further absorbs high-frequency impact energy and plays a role in shock absorption and noise reduction. The multiple reinforcing ribs 14 welded to the bottom of the tilting plate 7 enhance its structural rigidity and effectively resist bending plastic deformation that may be caused by long-term heavy-load impact, ensuring the long-term operating accuracy and stability of the entire tilting mechanism.
[0032] Example 2:
[0033] Specifically, regarding the aforementioned buffer assembly, the buffer assembly includes a rotating seat 15 rotatably mounted on the inner side wall of the mounting frame 9, a connecting block 16 fixedly mounted at the end of the rotating seat 15, a mounting block 17 fixedly mounted at the end of the rotating rod 6, a key block 18 fixedly mounted on the outer side wall of the mounting block 17, and a key groove adapted to the key block 18 opened on the outer side wall of the connecting block 16, with the key block 18 inserted into the key groove;
[0034] A movable plate 19 is fixedly installed on the top of the rotating seat 15. The top of the movable plate 19 is arc-shaped. Two fixed plates 20 are fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the mounting frame 9. A movable plate 21 is slidably installed on the top of the fixed plate 20. A wedge block 22 is fixedly installed on the top of the movable plate 21. The inclined surface of the wedge block 22 contacts the top of the movable plate 19.
[0035] Two symmetrically arranged dampers 23 are fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the mounting frame 9. Springs 24 are sleeved on the outer side wall of the dampers 23. The movable ends of the two dampers 23 are respectively fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the corresponding two wedge blocks 22.
[0036] As can be seen from the above, when the scrap material impacts the flipping plate 7, the flipping plate 7 drives the rotating rod 6 to rotate. The torque is transmitted to the keyway of the connecting block 16 through the mounting block 17 and key block 18 at its end, thereby driving the rotating seat 15 to deflect. The movable plate 19 at the top of the rotating seat 15 swings accordingly, and its arc-shaped top slope presses the slope of the wedge block 22 on both sides. Through this slope mechanism, the rotational motion of the rotating seat 15 is converted into the horizontal linear motion of the wedge block 22 and the moving plate 21, thereby compressing the damper 23 and the spring 24.
[0037] The damper 23 provides stable fluid resistance and consumes a large amount of impact energy, while the spring 24 plays the role of storing and releasing energy, efficiently dissipating the huge kinetic energy generated by the impact, and significantly suppressing the reciprocating oscillation of the tilting plate 7 during the recovery process. With the use of the counterweight assembly, the tilting plate 7 can return to the horizontal standby position smoothly, quickly and quietly in a very short time after experiencing the impact, avoiding fatigue damage to the mechanical structure caused by residual oscillation, and ensuring that the equipment can immediately meet the next material impact in the best condition, greatly improving the continuity, reliability and durability of the equipment operation.
[0038] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
