Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rebar production technology, and in particular to a novel steel pushing device inside a heating furnace. Background Technology
[0002] In the production of rebar, steel billets are typically fed into the heating furnace using conveyor rollers. The billets are then pushed onto a walking beam by a pushing device. Currently, rolling mills mainly use hydraulic cylinders for this pushing process. However, large, front-mounted hydraulic cylinders are commonly used, and the push rods are not fixed but positioned solely by the furnace wall. This results in severe wear, accelerated equipment aging, increased maintenance and production costs, and low production efficiency. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new type of pushing device that can be positioned outside the furnace and has an adjustable stroke. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a novel steel pushing device inside a heating furnace. By fixing the direction through an external guide device, it reduces contact with the furnace wall and thus reduces wear. Furthermore, the stroke of the push rod can be adjusted by a positioning switch. The structure is simple and easy to maintain, reducing maintenance and production costs, lowering equipment failure rates, and improving production efficiency.
[0004] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

The guide rod is horizontally movable within the guide device, and its other end passes through the guide device and is fixedly connected to the piston rod. The outer end of the piston rod abuts against a steel billet inside the heating furnace. The positioning switch includes a positioning seat, a connecting long rod, and a positioning short rod. One end of the connecting long rod and the positioning short rod are rotatably mounted on the positioning seat via a rotating shaft. The included angle between the connecting long rod and the positioning short rod is fixedly set. A limiting seat is provided near the positioning short rod on the positioning seat, and an arc-shaped groove is formed on the limiting seat. One end of the positioning short rod is limited and locked within the arc-shaped groove.
[0006] Preferably, a cylinder mounting base is installed on the outside of the hydraulic cylinder, and the hydraulic cylinder is rotatably connected to the cylinder mounting base.
[0007] Preferably, the output end of the hydraulic cylinder, one end of the movable connecting rod, and the connecting rod are rotatably connected by a rotating shaft, and the other end of the movable connecting rod is also rotatably connected to the guide rod by a rotating shaft.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 3The novel steel pushing device in a heating furnace includes a hydraulic cylinder 1, a guide device 2, a positioning switch 3, and a piston rod 4. The output end of the hydraulic cylinder 1 is rotatably connected to a movable connecting rod 5, and the other end of the movable connecting rod 5 is rotatably connected to a guide rod 6. The guide rod 6 is horizontally movably arranged in the guide device 2, and the other end of the guide rod 6 passes through the guide device 2 and is fixedly connected to the piston rod 4. The outer end of the piston rod 4 abuts against the steel billet in the heating furnace. The positioning switch 3 includes a positioning seat 31, a connecting long rod 32, and a positioning short rod 33. One end of the connecting long rod 32 and the positioning short rod 33 are rotatably mounted on the positioning seat 31 through a rotating shaft. The included angle between the connecting long rod 32 and the positioning short rod 33 is fixedly arranged. A limiting seat 34 is provided near the positioning short rod 33 on the positioning seat 31. An arc-shaped groove 35 is opened on the limiting seat 34, and one end of the positioning short rod 33 is limited and locked in the arc-shaped groove 35.
[0024] A cylinder mounting base 11 is installed on the outside of the hydraulic cylinder 1, and the hydraulic cylinder 1 and the cylinder mounting base 11 are rotatably connected relative to each other.
[0025] The output end of the hydraulic cylinder 1, one end of the movable connecting rod 5, and the connecting rod 32 are rotatably connected by a rotating shaft. The other end of the movable connecting rod 5 is also rotatably connected to the guide rod 6 by a rotating shaft.
[0026] One end of the positioning short rod 33 is bolted to a limiting block 36 in the arc-shaped groove 35, and the limiting block 36 is movably positioned in the arc-shaped groove 35.
[0027] An adjustable position detection switch is provided at both ends of the stroke of the limit block 36 within the arc groove 35, and the two sets of position detection switches are electrically connected to the hydraulic cylinder 1.
[0028] The guiding device 2 includes a guide seat 21 and guide wheels 22. The guide rod 6 passes horizontally through the guide seat 21, and at least three sets of guide wheels 22 are provided inside the guide seat 21 above and below the guide rod 6. The guide rod 6 is tactilely connected to the guide wheels 22 above and below.
[0029] Each set of guide wheels 22 has a groove in the middle, and the upper and lower ends of the guide rod 6 are both locked in the grooves of the upper and lower guide wheels 22.
[0030] At the lowest stroke of hydraulic cylinder 1, guide rod 6, movable connecting rod 5 and hydraulic cylinder 1 are on the same horizontal straight line.
[0031] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0032] When the steel billet passes through the furnace feed roller and stops on the cantilever roller inside the furnace, the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 1 extends. After the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 1 extends, it drives the connecting long rod 32 and the positioning short rod 33 inside the positioning switch 3 to rotate. The rotation of the connecting long rod 32 drives the guide rod 6 to extend forward. The guide rod 6 moves horizontally forward through the guide device 2 and drives the piston rod 4 to push the steel billet forward. During the forward pushing process, the position is confirmed by the position detection switch in the positioning switch 2. The steel billet is pushed to the designated position inside the furnace. After the steel billet is pushed to the designated position inside the furnace, the hydraulic cylinder 1 retracts and the piston rod 5 retracts. During the retraction process, the action is stopped by the position detection switch in the positioning switch 2.
[0033] This invention reduces contact with the furnace wall and wear by fixing the direction through an external guiding device, and ensures that the guide rod always moves in a horizontal state to prevent the billet from shifting.
[0034] This invention, by setting a positioning switch assembly, enables convenient adjustment of the piston rod's stroke, and by using a position detection switch to control the hydraulic cylinder, thereby controlling the piston rod's stroke.
[0035] This utility model has a simple structure and is easy to maintain, thereby effectively reducing maintenance and production costs, lowering equipment failure rates, and improving production efficiency.
[0036] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications or equivalent substitutions to the present utility model within its substance and protection scope, and such modifications or equivalent substitutions should also be considered to fall within the protection scope of the present utility model's technical solution.
