Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steel structure processing, and in particular to a roll forming and conveying equipment for steel structure processing. Background Technology

[0002] Roll forming conveying equipment for steel structure processing can continuously and efficiently transport metal sheets through multiple sets of orderly arranged rollers, and gradually roll them into steel structure profiles with the required cross-sectional shape, such as channel steel and strip steel of various specifications, which effectively ensures the large-scale and standardized processing of steel structures.

[0003] Traditional equipment uses manual placement of steel, which is prone to swaying when the contact rollers rotate, posing a safety threat to operators. This is because the hydraulic pushing mechanism lacks a self-locking function, causing the steel to easily shift under the roller pressure torque during conveying. At the same time, hard impurities such as iron filings on the steel surface can cause scratches or dents during the roller pressing process, seriously affecting the quality of the finished product. This is because the equipment is not equipped with an effective cleaning device, and relying on manual pre-cleaning is not only inefficient but also makes it difficult to guarantee the cleaning effect. Utility Model Content

[0015] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0016] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 6This utility model provides an embodiment of a roll forming conveying device for steel structure processing, including a processing table 1. The lower end of the processing table 1 is provided with support legs 2. Two parallel grooves 3 are formed on the processing table 1. A linear drive unit is installed in one groove 3, and a sliding mechanism for linearly guiding the linear drive unit is installed in the other groove 3. The linear drive unit and the sliding mechanism are connected to a support plate 4. A feeding seat 5 is fixedly installed on the support plate 4. An anti-deviation unit is integrated within the feeding seat 5. The anti-deviation unit applies lateral force to the steel structure during conveying. The processing table 1 is equipped with a pressure module. A cleaning unit is located in the transition area between the pressure module and the feeding seat 5. This cleaning unit removes impurities from the surface of the steel structure during the transfer process from the feeding seat 5 to the pressure module. The pressure module includes a fixedly installed lower roller unit and a vertically movable upper roller unit. The gap between the upper roller unit and the lower roller unit is dynamically adjusted. The processing table 1 serves as the main support structure of the entire equipment. The linear drive unit can generate linear motion, and its moving end is connected to the support plate 4, providing forward support for the support plate 4 and the feeding seat 5 on it. The sliding mechanism, acting as a linear guide for the linear drive unit, ensures that the support plate 4 maintains a straight trajectory during movement, preventing deviation or swaying and achieving stable conveying of the steel structure. The support plate 4, as the connecting component between the linear drive unit and the feeding seat 5, transmits the power generated by the linear drive unit to the feeding seat 5. The anti-deviation unit applies lateral constraint during steel structure conveying to prevent deviation due to vibration, inertia, or other external forces. Through contact with the steel structure surface, the anti-deviation unit provides precise guidance and positioning. The cleaning unit removes impurities from the surface of the steel structure during its transfer from the feeding seat 5 to the pressing module, ensuring a clean surface before entry. The pressing module presses the steel structure material into the required shape. The lower roller unit acts as a fixed support, providing a stable pressing reference surface. The upper roller unit dynamically adjusts the gap between itself and the lower roller unit to accommodate steel structure materials of different thicknesses and shapes. During pressing, the upper and lower roller units work together to apply pressure to the steel structure, causing plastic deformation and forming the desired shape.

[0017] Please see Figure 3In this embodiment, the linear drive unit includes a bearing seat 6 disposed on the inner wall of the groove 3, a servo motor 7 disposed on the outer wall of the processing table 1, a lead screw 8 rotatably connected to the output shaft of the servo motor 7 inside the bearing seat 6, a movable seat 9 threadedly connected to the outer wall of the lead screw 8, the end face of the movable seat 9 connected to the lower end of the support plate 4, and a sliding mechanism including a slide rail 10 disposed at the bottom of the groove 3, a slider 11 slidably connected on the slide rail 10, the end face of the slider 11 connected to the lower end of the support plate 4, and the bearing seat 6 providing a stable rotation support point for the lead screw 8. When the servo motor 7 is started, the output shaft drives the lead screw 8 to rotate within the bearing seat 6. Rotational motion occurs within 6. The moving seat 9 engages with the thread on the outer wall of the lead screw 8 through the thread on its inner wall, forming a threaded transmission pair. When the lead screw 8 rotates, the moving seat 9 moves linearly along the axis of the lead screw 8 under the drive of the thread. The end face of the moving seat 9 is tightly connected to the lower end of the support plate 4, thereby transmitting the linear motion to the support plate 4. The slide rail 10 provides a linear sliding track for the slider 11, which can slide freely along the length of the slide rail 10. When the support plate 4 moves under the driving force of the linear drive unit, the slider 11 slides on the slide rail 10 accordingly, providing a stable guiding effect for the movement of the support plate 4.

[0018] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 4In this embodiment, the anti-deviation unit includes a through groove opened in the feeding seat 5. A bearing seat 2 12 is provided on the side wall of the through groove. A feeding roller 13 is rotatably connected in the bearing seat 2 12. An installation groove is opened on the side wall of the feeding seat 5. A cylinder 14 is provided in the installation groove. A limit plate 15 is provided at the output end of the cylinder 14. The cleaning unit includes a gantry 16 set on the processing table 1. A fixing column 17 is provided at the lower end of the gantry 16 and the upper end of the processing table 1. A cleaning plate 18 is provided at the end of the fixing column 17. The feeding roller 13 contacts the surface of the steel structure material. During the conveying of the steel structure material, the material movement is assisted by rolling friction, reducing the frictional resistance between the material and the feeding seat 5, making the conveying process smoother. The cylinder 14 is a power actuator. When it is necessary to laterally limit the steel structure material, the cylinder 14 is activated to push the limit plate. The limiting plate 15 moves towards the material until it is in close contact with the side of the material, applying lateral restraint to prevent the material from shifting during transport. The position of the limiting plate 15 can be adjusted according to different specifications of steel structure materials through the extension and retraction control of the cylinder 14, adapting to diverse production needs. The fixing column 17 includes a threaded sleeve and a screw installed inside the threaded sleeve. The end of the screw provides a stable installation position for the cleaning plate 18. By rotating the screw, the position of the cleaning plate 18 can be adjusted. When the steel structure material is transferred from the feeding seat 5 to the pressing module, the material passes between the cleaning plates 18. The cleaning plates 18 are made of materials with a certain degree of elasticity and friction, such as rubber or brushes. During material movement, the cleaning plates 18 contact the material surface, removing dust, iron filings, and other impurities through friction, preventing impurities from entering the pressing module.

[0019] Please see Figure 5 - Figure 6In this embodiment, the lower roller unit includes two support plates 19 arranged parallel to each other on the processing table 1. A servo motor 20 is mounted on the end face of one support plate 19. The output shaft of the servo motor 20 is connected to a driving roller 21. A driven roller 22 is mounted on one side of the driving roller 21. The driving roller 21 and the driven roller 22 are connected by a synchronous belt drive. Adjacent driven rollers 22 are also connected by a synchronous belt drive. The upper roller unit includes a bracket 23 mounted on the support plate 19. A hydraulic cylinder 24 is mounted at the lower end of the bracket 23. A U-shaped frame 25 is mounted at the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 24. Rotatable pressure rollers 26 are arranged in an array within the U-shaped frame 25. The servo motor 20 serves as the power source. When the servo motor 20 is started, its output shaft drives the driving roller 21 to rotate. The driving roller 21 and the driven roller 22 are connected by a synchronous belt drive. Adjacent driven rollers 22 are also connected by a synchronous belt drive. This synchronous belt drive method enables the driving roller 21 and the driven roller 22 to rotate. The synchronous rotation between rollers 2 and 2 ensures consistent rotation speed among the rollers. The lower roller unit serves as a fixed support for the pressing module, providing a stable pressing reference surface for the steel structure material. The bracket 23 is mounted on the support plate 19, providing mounting support for the hydraulic cylinder 24. The hydraulic cylinder 24 serves as a power actuator, powered by a hydraulic system, enabling linear extension and retraction at the output end. When pressing the steel structure material is required, the hydraulic cylinder 24 actuates, pushing the U-shaped frame 25 downward, causing the pressure roller 26 to cooperate with the lower roller unit and apply pressure to the material. Under pressure, the pressure roller 26 contacts the material surface and rolls, forming continuous indentations on the material surface, causing plastic deformation and achieving the desired processing shape. Through the extension and retraction control of the hydraulic cylinder 24, the gap between the upper and lower roller units can be precisely adjusted to adapt to the processing requirements of steel structure materials of different thicknesses and specifications, ensuring the accuracy and flexibility of the pressing process.

[0020] Working principle: First, the steel structure material is placed on the feeding seat 5. The feeding roller 13 inside the feeding seat 5 contacts the surface of the steel structure material. The material moves by rolling friction. The servo motor 7 is started. The output shaft drives the lead screw 8 to rotate in the bearing seat 6. The moving seat 9 moves linearly along the axis of the lead screw 8 under the thread drive. The linear motion is transmitted to the feeding seat 5 through the support plate 4, driving the steel structure material to be conveyed forward. At the same time, the slider 11 in the sliding mechanism slides on the slide rail 10, providing stable guidance for the movement of the support plate 4, ensuring that the conveying process is stable and without deviation. During the process of the steel structure material being transferred from the feeding seat 5 to the pressing module, the cleaning unit starts to work. The cleaning plate 18 under the gantry 16 cooperates with the cleaning plate 18 on the processing table 1. When the material passes between the cleaning plates 18, the cleaning plates 18 remove dust, iron filings and other impurities from the surface of the material through friction, ensuring the surface of the material is clean and preventing impurities from entering the pressing module. Next, the steel structure material enters the pressing module, the servo motor 20 starts, and the output shaft drives the active roller 21 to rotate. Through the synchronous belt drive, the active roller 21 and the driven roller 22 are connected to achieve synchronous rotation. The lower roller unit serves as a fixed support part, providing a stable pressing reference surface for the steel structure material. At the same time, the hydraulic cylinder 24 is activated, pushing the U-shaped frame 25 to move downward, so that the pressure roller 26 cooperates with the lower roller unit to apply pressure to the material. Under the action of pressure, the pressure roller 26 contacts the material surface and rolls, causing the material to undergo plastic deformation and gradually form the required processing shape. Throughout the processing, the cylinder 14 of the anti-deviation unit moves as needed, pushing the limit plate 15 to move in the material direction and applying lateral constraint force to prevent the material from deviating during conveying and pressing. Through the extension and retraction control of the cylinder 14, the position of the limit plate 15 can be adjusted according to different specifications of steel structure materials to adapt to diverse production needs. Finally, the processed steel structure materials are stably conveyed out of the equipment, completing the entire processing flow.

[0021] Through the above steps, by integrating the linear drive unit and the sliding mechanism, stable conveying of the steel structure is ensured. The cleaning unit removes impurities before the steel structure enters the pressing module, ensuring processing quality. This solves the problems of traditional equipment where the lack of self-locking function in hydraulic pushing causes the steel to swing easily, and the absence of an effective cleaning device causes impurities on the steel surface to affect the quality of the finished product.
