Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of steel-shifting machine equipment in the furnace feeding area of steel rolling heating furnaces in iron and steel enterprises, specifically to a steel-shifting fork pulley device. Background Technology
[0002] In the steel rolling production line of steel enterprises, the steel billet feeder in the heating furnace inlet area is one of the key pieces of equipment. Its function is to accurately feed the steel billets from the feeding roller table into the furnace roller table, thereby ensuring the rhythm of continuous production.
[0003] Currently, the existing technology commonly used in this field works on the following principle: the steel billet is monitored by a photoelectric sensor or hot metal detector installed at the steel dropping trough. When a "steel present" signal is detected, the signal is transmitted to the central control system, which then triggers the drive motor of the steel-shifting machine (usually amplified by a reducer) to drive the steel-shifting fork to perform a fixed, preset cycle of circular motion, thereby completing a single steel-shifting operation.
[0004] However, this type of automated system, which heavily relies on signal interlocking control, has obvious inherent defects and technical challenges. In actual production environments, due to the harsh working conditions such as high temperatures, dust, and vibration, the detection device is prone to generating false signals (i.e., "false signals"). In addition, if an abnormality occurs in the previous process, such as the steel billet on the feeding roller conveyor failing to be transported in time due to jamming or slippage, that area is actually still in a "steel-containing" state.
[0005] Under the aforementioned abnormal conditions, the existing steel shifting machine control system cannot effectively identify the true state. Upon receiving an erroneous action command, the shifting fork will still execute the shifting operation according to the predetermined program, its arm forcefully pushing subsequent steel billets to collide with those that have not yet been moved away. Because the shifting fork and its drive system are rigidly connected and possess enormous power, this will result in a huge torque being applied entirely to the reducer output shaft and the shifting fork body, thus causing a serious "steel jamming" accident. This accident not only causes equipment failures such as shifting fork deformation, drive shaft breakage, and reducer gear damage, leading to production line shutdowns, affecting production efficiency and equipment lifespan, but also poses a significant safety threat to on-site equipment and operators under high-speed impact.
[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a steel fork pulley device to solve the problem that the existing steel fork cannot recognize false signals, causing the steel to jam, resulting in machine damage and huge maintenance costs. Utility Model Content
[0007] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a steel fork pulley device.
[0008] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a steel fork pulley device, including a steel fork assembly and a pulley assembly. The steel fork assembly includes a fork head and a base. The pulley assembly is installed on one side of the fork head. The pulley assembly includes a pulley, a wheel axle and a fixing member. The pulley is fixed to the fork head by the wheel axle and the fixing member.
[0009] Specifically, the fork head is a groove-shaped structure composed of two fork arms, and a pulley assembly is connected to the outer side of one end of the fork head.
[0010] Specifically, the base is the part where the bottom of the fork is connected to the moving motor, and the base is equipped with a fork rod and a fork head.
[0011] Specifically, the pulley is fixedly connected to the outside of the fork head through an axle and a fixing member, and the pulley has a central hole in the center, and the pulley rotates through the axle.
[0012] Specifically, the axle is inserted into the central hole of the pulley and the top hole of the fixing member, and the axle is provided with buckles at both ends to prevent it from slipping out.
[0013] Specifically, the fixing component consists of two symmetrical columns. The bottom of the fixing component is welded to the outside of the fork head, and the top of the fixing component has a through hole. After the two fixing components are aligned with the center hole of the pulley, they are inserted into the wheel axle.
[0014] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] The steel fork pulley device designed in this utility model allows the steel fork to move continuously and without resistance, avoiding steel jamming accidents that could damage the machine and significantly reducing maintenance costs. Attached Figure Description
