Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of auxiliary equipment technology for crucible furnaces, and in particular to a crucible furnace tilting auxiliary device. Background Technology

[0002] During the use of crucible furnaces, they often need to be tilted to complete operations such as dumping or transferring materials. However, existing tilting auxiliary equipment has many shortcomings: Firstly, the support structure design of traditional devices is unreasonable, lacking balanced and stable support components, which makes the crucible furnace prone to shaking during tilting, and may even cause component bending and damage, affecting the service life of the equipment. Secondly, the transmission method often has the risk of slippage, making the tilting speed unstable and prone to causing the crucible furnace to deviate during tilting, posing a safety hazard. At the same time, the connection method between the forks and the equipment is cumbersome and difficult to adjust the installation position according to different specifications of crucible furnaces, resulting in poor versatility and increasing the difficulty of operation and time costs. In addition, the rotation axis is not accurately set, which can easily generate additional torque due to eccentric rotation, aggravating equipment wear, and lacks an effective protective structure, making it easy for materials to spill during tilting, affecting work efficiency and safety. These problems make it difficult for existing crucible furnace tilting operations to meet actual needs in terms of stability, accuracy, safety, and versatility. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a crucible furnace tilting auxiliary device, which solves the above-mentioned problems.

[0004] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: A crucible furnace tilting auxiliary device includes a device body installed on the mast of a forklift in front of a retaining rack. The device body includes a basin-shaped mounting plate, a slewing bearing, a drive motor, a first gear, a rotating column, a second gear, a support rod, and a rotating plate. The basin-shaped mounting plate is fixedly installed on the retaining rack with its opening facing away from it. A slewing bearing is provided on the bottom surface inside the opening of the basin-shaped mounting plate, and support rods are evenly and vertically arranged on the slewing bearing. A drive motor is installed on the bottom surface near the slewing bearing within the range of the slewing bearing, and a first gear is provided at the output end of the drive motor. The rotating column is rotatably and vertically installed on the bottom surface inside the opening of the basin-shaped mounting plate, and a second gear is fixedly sleeved on the rotating column. The rotating plate is parallel to the bottom of the basin-shaped mounting plate and is located at the opening of the basin-shaped mounting plate, and is perpendicularly connected to the rotating column and the support rod.

[0005] Furthermore, A mounting plate is set on the surface of the rotating plate away from the bottom of the basin-shaped mounting plate, passing through the center of the plate surface, and a fork is set on the mounting plate.

[0006] Furthermore, The rotating column is located at the center of the bottom of the basin-shaped mounting plate.

[0007] Furthermore, The center of the slewing bearing coincides with the installation position of the rotating column, and the slewing bearing is close to the side wall of the basin-shaped mounting plate.

[0008] Furthermore, The first gear and the second gear mesh.

[0009] Furthermore, The upper end of the mounting plate has a groove on the side near the rotating plate, and the other end of the upper end of the mounting plate has mounting holes evenly spaced along the length of the mounting plate.

[0010] Furthermore, The forks are provided with insertion plates at the ends that can be inserted into grooves, and fixing holes are opened at the mounting holes at the upper end of the corresponding mounting plates, and the connection is made by fixing with pins.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. The basin-shaped mounting plate provides a stable mounting foundation for the whole. The slewing bearing and the evenly distributed support rods work together to provide balanced support for the rotating plate, effectively dispersing the force on the rotating column and preventing it from bending due to excessive force. This ensures that the rotating plate remains stable during the process of driving the crucible furnace to rotate, reduces the risk of component damage, and ensures long-term reliable operation of the device.

[0012] 2. The rotating column is located at the center of the bottom of the basin-shaped mounting plate, and the center of the slewing bearing coincides with it. This ensures that the force is evenly distributed when the rotating plate rotates, avoids extra torque generated by eccentric rotation, and reduces wear on the bottom of the basin-shaped mounting plate and the rotating column. At the same time, the fixed rotation axis ensures that the crucible furnace always rotates around a fixed trajectory, improving operational accuracy and reducing the risk of accidents caused by rotational deviation.

[0013] 3. The grooves on the mounting plate can quickly align with the insertion plates at the ends of the forks, achieving initial positioning of the forks and reducing the difficulty of installation alignment; the evenly distributed mounting holes, combined with the pin fixing method, not only facilitate the quick installation and removal of the forks and make it convenient for later maintenance or replacement, but also allow the fork installation position to be adjusted according to the size of the crucible furnace, adapting to the load-bearing requirements of different specifications of crucible furnaces, and improving the versatility and ease of operation of the device.

[0019] See the example. Figures 1 to 6 : A crucible furnace tilting auxiliary device includes a device body 1 installed in front of a retaining rack 21 on the mast 20 of a forklift 2. The device body 1 includes a basin-shaped mounting plate 10, a slewing bearing 11, a drive motor 12, a first gear 13, a rotating column 14, a second gear 15, a support rod 16, and a rotating plate 17. The basin-shaped mounting plate 10 is fixedly mounted on the retaining rack 21 with its opening facing away from the retaining rack 21. The slewing bearing 11 is provided on the bottom surface inside the opening of the basin-shaped mounting plate 10, and the slewing bearing 11 is evenly vertically inclined. A support rod 16 is provided, and a drive motor 12 is installed on the bottom surface of the slewing bearing 11 near the reinstallation bearing. A first gear 13 is provided at the output end of the drive motor 12. The rotating column 14 is rotatably and vertically installed on the bottom surface of the opening of the basin-shaped mounting plate 10, and a second gear 15 is fixedly sleeved on the rotating column 14. The rotating plate 17 is parallel to the bottom of the basin-shaped mounting plate 10 and is set at the opening of the basin-shaped mounting plate 10, and is perpendicularly connected to the rotating column 14 and the support rod 16.

[0020] The basin-shaped mounting plate 10 provides a stable mounting base for the whole. The slewing bearing 11 and the support rod 16 cooperate to provide uniform support for the rotating plate 17, ensuring stability during rotation. The drive motor 12 transmits power to the rotating column 14 through the cooperation of the first gear 13 and the second gear 15, thereby driving the rotating plate 17 to rotate and providing a power source for the flipping of the crucible furnace 3. The support rod 16 can disperse the force on the rotating column 14, preventing the rotating column 14 from bending due to excessive force.

[0021] Furthermore, The rotating plate 17 has an installation plate 4 located on its surface away from the bottom of the basin-shaped installation plate 10, with a fork 22 mounted on the installation plate 4.

[0022] The central setting of the mounting plate 4 can prevent the rotating plate 17 from tilting or deforming due to eccentricity when the forks 22 are under load, thus ensuring the stability of the crucible furnace 3 during the flipping process. At the same time, the connection between the forks 22 and the rotating plate 17 through the mounting plate 4 can reduce the direct force on the rotating plate 17, distribute the load, extend the overall service life of the device, and facilitate the replacement of forks 22 of different specifications as needed.

[0023] Furthermore, The rotating column 14 is located at the center of the bottom of the basin-shaped mounting plate 10.

[0024] The central positioning of the rotating column 14 ensures uniform force distribution on the rotating plate 17 during rotation, avoiding additional torque caused by eccentric rotation and reducing wear on the bottom of the basin-shaped mounting plate 10 and the rotating column 14 itself. Simultaneously, the centrally located rotation axis ensures that the crucible furnace 3 always moves around a fixed axis during tilting, improving operational precision and preventing the risk of the crucible furnace 3 shaking or falling due to rotational deviation. Furthermore, The center of the slewing bearing 11 coincides with the center of the mounting position of the rotating column 14, and the slewing bearing 11 is close to the side wall of the basin-shaped mounting plate 10.

[0025] The slewing bearing 11 and the rotating column 14 are aligned at their installation centers to ensure synchronous rotation of the slewing machine and avoid jamming or wear caused by axial deviation. The slewing bearing 11 is close to the side wall to provide sufficient installation space for the drive motor 12 and the rotating column 14.

[0026] Furthermore, The first gear 13 meshes with the second gear 15.

[0027] Through the meshing of the first gear 13 and the second gear 15, the first gear 13 drives the second gear 15 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating column 14 to rotate together. The use of gears ensures that the angle of the rotating column 14 is controllable. At the same time, compared with belt drive, gears are less prone to slippage, which can ensure the stable rotation speed of the rotating column 14 and avoid sudden speed changes when the crucible furnace 3 is flipped due to unstable power transmission, thereby improving the safety and reliability of operation.

[0028] Furthermore, The upper end of the mounting plate 4 has a groove 40 on one side near the rotating plate 17, and the other end of the upper end of the mounting plate 4 has mounting holes 41 evenly spaced along the length of the mounting plate 4.

[0029] The groove 40 can quickly connect to the insertion plate 220 at the end of the fork 22, realizing the initial positioning and initial installation of the fork 22 and the mounting plate 4, reducing the difficulty of alignment during installation. The evenly distributed mounting holes 41 allow the installation position of the fork 22 to be adjusted according to the size of the crucible, adapting to the load-bearing requirements of different crucible furnaces 3.

[0030] Furthermore, The fork 22 is provided with an insertion plate 220 at the end that can be inserted into the groove 40, and a fixing hole is opened at the mounting hole 41 at the upper end of the corresponding mounting plate 4, and is connected by a pin 5 for fixing.

[0031] The insertion plate 220 and the groove 40 work together to quickly position the forks 22, ensuring that the forks 22 are installed in the correct position. The pin 5 fixing method is simple to operate, making it easy to quickly install and remove the forks 22, and facilitating the maintenance or replacement of the forks 22 in the future. At the same time, the stability of the pin 5 connection ensures that the forks 22 will not detach from the mounting plate 4 during load-bearing and flipping, effectively reducing safety risks.

[0032] The method of using this utility model is as follows: This device is installed on the rack 21 of the mast 20 of the forklift 2. The basin-shaped mounting plate 10 with the opening facing away from the rack 21 is the basic load-bearing structure. The slewing bearing 11 and the evenly distributed support rods 16 in the basin-shaped mounting plate 10 provide stable support for the rotating plate 17 to ensure the balance during rotation. When the drive motor 12 is working, the first gear 13 at its output end meshes with the second gear 15 on the rotating column 14 to drive the rotating column 14 located at the center of the basin-shaped mounting plate 10 to rotate, thereby causing the rotating plate 17, which is perpendicularly connected to the rotating column 14 and the support rods 16, to rotate synchronously. In use, the insertion plate 220 at the end of the fork 22 is first inserted into the groove 40 of the mounting plate 4 on the rotating plate 17 for initial positioning. Then, the pin 5 passes through the fixing hole of the fork 22 and is fixed to the corresponding mounting hole 41 on the mounting plate 4. Subsequently, the fork 22 is inserted into the fork 22 hole on the base 31 of the crucible furnace 3 to support the crucible furnace 3. At the same time, the crucible furnace frame 32 is set at the opening of the furnace body 30 by the locking post 33 and the side wall of the furnace body 30. The rotating plate 17 is rotated by the drive motor 12 through gear transmission, thereby realizing the stable rotation of the crucible furnace 3. The crucible furnace frame 32 can prevent the material in the furnace body 30 from spilling out during the rotation process. After the rotation, the weight of the material causes the crucible furnace frame 32 to fall to the ground, and the material in the furnace is placed on the crucible furnace frame 32, thus completing the rotation of the crucible furnace 3.

It should be understood that the above description is only a specific embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
