Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical automation technology, specifically to a continuous feeding device for forgings in a forging production line, which is particularly suitable for automated and sequential feeding of cylindrical or near-cylindrical forgings. Background Technology

[0002] In the forging production process, efficient and stable feeding of forgings is a key step in achieving continuous operation. Existing feeding devices commonly used in technology mainly suffer from the following problems and drawbacks: 1. Poor material distribution stability: When using a vibratory feeder or inclined hopper for direct feeding, forgings are prone to stacking and clogging at the outlet, requiring manual intervention for material distribution, resulting in low production efficiency and inability to meet the needs of continuous production.

[0003] 2. Insufficient transfer accuracy: When using traditional cylinder push rods or mechanical claws to pick up materials, it is difficult to achieve precise separation of multiple rows of forgings one by one. This can easily lead to errors in the number of forgings transferred at one time or jamming of forgings, which affects the cycle time of subsequent processes.

[0004] 3. Weak controllability of material feeding: Dial-type feeding mechanisms mostly use fixed speed drive, which cannot dynamically adjust the feeding speed according to the real-time status of the production line. This can easily cause excessive feeding or interruption, requiring additional manual monitoring and speed adjustment devices.

[0005] The aforementioned shortcomings result in a high failure rate and low automation level of existing feeding devices, making it difficult to meet the stability requirements of high-cycle forging production lines. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a forging feeding device with precise material distribution, continuous conveying, and intelligent speed regulation capabilities. Utility Model Content

[0006] In order to overcome the problems of easy clogging, low material separation accuracy and uncontrollable unloading speed in the existing technology of forgings, this utility model provides a continuous forging feeding device. The device uses a cylinder to drive the push block and support block to alternately lift the forgings to achieve precise separation of a single row. Based on sensor monitoring and linkage with PLC, the speed of the rotary disc is dynamically adjusted to achieve continuous anti-clogging feeding and adaptive matching of the unloading rhythm of forgings.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: a continuous forging feeding device, including a frame; a conveyor belt arranged along the length of the frame on the upper part of the frame; a baffle plate disposed on one side of the conveyor belt; a first motor installed at one end of the frame and driving the conveyor belt; a hopper disposed on one side of the frame with its outlet facing the conveyor belt; and a material handling assembly located on the upper part of the frame near the hopper, including a cylinder, a plate seat, and push blocks; the cylinder body is fixed to the frame, and the cylinder rod is connected to the plate seat; the push blocks are spaced apart on the plate seat, and the top of the push blocks forms a shape facing away from the hopper. The inclined slope; the feeding assembly, located at the end of the conveyor belt, includes support plates, a second motor, a shaft, and a deflector disc; the support plates are fixed to the frame at intervals, and the shaft is horizontally placed between the support plates via bearings; the deflector disc is keyed to the shaft and has multiple grooves in its circumference; the second motor is connected to the shaft via a coupling; wherein, the picking assembly drives the plate seat to rise and fall via a cylinder, so that the push block slope receives the forgings falling from the hopper and transfers them to the conveyor belt; the feeding assembly rotates the deflector disc to make the grooves receive the forgings at the end of the conveyor belt and realize single-piece feeding.

[0008] The aforementioned continuous forging feeding device further includes a support block in the material handling component; the support block is fixed to the frame and located in the gap between the push blocks, and the tops of both the push blocks and the support blocks are inclined slopes with a linear height difference.

[0009] The aforementioned continuous forging feeding device further includes a guide post and a slider in the material handling assembly; the guide post is symmetrically arranged on the back of the plate seat, and the slider is sleeved on the guide post and bolted to the plate seat.

[0010] In the aforementioned continuous forging feeding device, the cross-sectional widths of the push block slope and the support block slope are adapted to the diameter of the forging.

[0011] In the aforementioned continuous forging feeding device, the hopper is arranged at an angle.

[0012] The above-mentioned continuous forging feeding device further includes a stop block in the unloading assembly; the stop block is located at the end of the support plate and axially limits the forging.

[0013] The aforementioned continuous forging feeding device further includes a proximity sensor in the unloading assembly; the proximity sensor is located under the support plate to detect the forging arrival signal.

[0014] The aforementioned continuous forging feeding device further includes an induction plate and a photoelectric sensor in the unloading assembly; the induction plate is snapped onto the shaft and has a circumferential notch; the photoelectric sensor is located on one side of the support plate to monitor the rotation frequency of the induction plate notch.

[0015] In the aforementioned continuous forging feeding device, the proximity sensor trigger signal controls the start of the second motor.

[0016] In the aforementioned continuous forging feeding device, the photoelectric sensor dynamically adjusts the speed of the second motor through a PLC control system.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. Anti-clogging material distribution: The linear height difference slope of the push block and the support block alternately raises to achieve precise separation of forgings in a single row, avoiding stacking at the hopper outlet; 2. Continuous and stable conveying: The guide column-slider structure ensures smooth lifting of the plate seat, and the slope width is adapted to the diameter of the forgings to ensure that the intermittent conveying of multiple rows of forgings is smooth without jamming; 3. Intelligent speed-controlled feeding: Proximity sensors trigger feeding, photoelectric sensors and induction plates work together to monitor the rotation speed, and the PLC dynamically adjusts the motor speed to achieve precise matching between the feeding rhythm and subsequent processes.

Detailed Implementation

[0023] This embodiment provides a continuous forging feeding device. This device achieves efficient and stable forging feeding through automated design, such as... Figure 1-3 As shown, this device includes a frame 1, a conveyor belt 2, a baffle 3, a first motor 4, a hopper 5, a material handling assembly 6, and a material unloading assembly 7. The frame 1 serves as the basic support structure, with the conveyor belt 2 arranged along its length on its upper part. A baffle 3 is installed on one side of the conveyor belt 2 to prevent forgings from rolling off. The first motor 4, which drives the conveyor belt 2, is installed at one end of the frame 1. The hopper 5, which holds forgings, is bolted to one side of the frame 1. The hopper 5 is arranged at an angle so that the forgings can automatically be fed to the side of the conveyor belt 2 under their own weight. The material handling assembly 6 is located on the upper part of the frame 1 near the hopper 5 to realize the sequential handling of multiple forgings. The material unloading assembly 7 is arranged at the end of the conveyor belt 2 to realize the sequential unloading of individual forgings.

[0024] The material handling assembly 6 consists of a cylinder 61, a plate base 62, a push block 63, a support block 64, a guide column 65, and a slider 66. The plate base 62 is vertically arranged inside the frame 1 and is driven by the cylinder 61 to achieve lifting. The end of the cylinder body of the cylinder 61 is fixed to the frame 1, and the front end of the cylinder rod is connected to one side of the plate base 62. When the cylinder 61 extends or retracts, the plate base 62 moves in the vertical direction. The push block 63 is connected to the plate base 62 by bolts at intervals, forming a gap between the push blocks 63. The support block 64 is arranged in the gap and is bolted to the frame 1. The tops of the push block 63 and the support block 64 are both designed as inclined slopes facing away from the hopper 5, and the width of the slope section is adapted to the diameter of the forging. At the same time, the push block 63 and the support block 64 have a linear height difference.

[0025] Working principle: In the initial state, cylinder 61 retracts, plate seat 62 is at its lowest position, and the slope of push block 63 is lower than the outlet of hopper 5. Only the bottom row of concentrically placed forgings falls into the slope of push block 63. When picking up materials, cylinder 61 extends, plate seat 62 rises, and the slope of push block 63 lifts the forgings. When the height of push block 63 exceeds the adjacent support block 64, the forgings roll down to the slope of support block 64, completing the transfer of a single row of forgings. Through multiple lifting and lowering by cylinder 61, multiple rows of forgings are gradually and intermittently transported to conveyor belt 2, avoiding forgings from accumulating and blocking. To improve stability, guide pillars 65 are symmetrically arranged on the back of plate seat 62. Sliding blocks 66 are sleeved on the guide pillars 65 and bolted to plate seat 62 to ensure smooth lifting and lowering.

[0026] The feeding assembly 7 consists of a support plate 71, a second motor 72, a shaft 73, a dial plate 74, a stop block 75, a sensing plate 76, a photoelectric sensor 77, and a proximity sensor 78. The support plates 71 are spaced apart at the end of the conveyor belt 2 and fixed with bolts. The shaft 73 is placed horizontally between the support plates 71 through bearings. The dial plate 74 is keyed to the shaft 73. The dial plate 74 has multiple grooves evenly opened around its circumference to accommodate the forgings. The stop block 75 is located at the end of the support plate 71 to limit and position the forgings axially. The proximity sensor 78 is arranged at the lower part of the support plate 71 to monitor whether the forgings are in place in real time. The second motor 72 is connected to the shaft 73 through a coupling to drive the dial plate 74 to rotate.

[0027] Working principle: When the forging is conveyed to the support plate 71, the proximity sensor 78 triggers a signal, the second motor 72 starts, and the actuating disk 74 rotates to make the groove receive the forging. The stop block 75 ensures that the forging falls accurately into the groove. Each rotation of the actuating disk 74 causes a single forging to roll off the groove, realizing one-by-one feeding. The shaft 73 is clamped with the sensing plate 76, which has a notch in the circumference. A photoelectric sensor 77 is arranged on one side of the support plate 71. When the actuating disk 74 rotates, the photoelectric sensor 77 monitors the rotation frequency of the notch of the sensing plate 76, calculates the rotation speed of the actuating disk 74, and then feeds it back to the second motor 72 through the PLC control system to dynamically adjust the motor speed to control the feeding amount and speed.

[0028] The overall workflow of the feeding device is as follows: Forgings are stacked in the hopper 5. The material handling component 6 uses the cylinder 61 to lift and transfer multiple rows of forgings to the conveyor belt 2. The conveyor belt 2, driven by the first motor 4, transports the forgings to the end. After the proximity sensor 78 detects that the forging is in place, the second motor 72 starts and the actuating disk 74 rotates to realize the unloading of a single forging. The photoelectric sensor 77 works with the sensing plate 76 to adjust the speed of the second motor 72 in real time through the PLC control system to ensure that the unloading rhythm matches the subsequent processes.

[0029] This embodiment achieves automation and precision in forging loading through the coordinated design of mechanical structure and sensor control, significantly improving production efficiency and stability.
