Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of seamless steel pipe flange processing technology, specifically to an automatic feeding mechanism for metal billets during the forging process of a forging machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the forging process of seamless steel pipe flanges, traditional feeding methods often rely on manual operation, which is not only labor-intensive and inefficient, but also makes it difficult to guarantee the accuracy and stability of billet delivery, easily affecting forging quality and production efficiency. With the development of industrial automation, the demand for automated feeding in seamless steel pipe flange forging is becoming increasingly urgent in order to improve production efficiency, reduce labor costs, and ensure the stability of product quality.

[0003] Chinese patent document CN218402299U discloses an automatic feeding mechanism for metal billets during the forging process of a forging machine. It includes a support and a feeding device body. The feeding device body is fixedly connected inside the support. Side plates are fixedly connected to both sides of the support. A top plate is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the side plates. A limiting mechanism is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the top plate. A guide mechanism is fixedly connected to the outer side of the support. The limiting mechanism includes a motor fixedly connected to the upper surface of the top plate. A drive wheel is fixedly connected to the outer side of the motor's output shaft, and a driven wheel meshes with the outer side of the drive wheel. This flange processing feeding device, under the action of the limiting mechanism, restricts the range of the flange on both sides of the feeding device body during feeding, preventing it from falling off the top of the feeding device. During unloading, the flange is guided by the guide mechanism to the middle position of the feeding device body before unloading, facilitating subsequent processing.

[0004] Although the equipment in the aforementioned literature can automatically feed materials, its structure is relatively simple, and its actual effect on conveying components is still insufficient. Furthermore, the flange is prone to displacement during conveying, which affects subsequent operations and reduces the practical value of the equipment. Utility Model Content

[0005] The main purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic feeding mechanism for metal billets during the forging process of a forging machine, which can effectively solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] An automatic feeding mechanism for metal billets during the forging process of a forging machine includes a worktable, a sloping groove plate fixedly connected to the left end of the worktable, a protective device fixedly connected to the right end of the sloping groove plate, a fixed frame fixedly connected to the upper left part of the worktable, a detector fixedly connected to the upper end of the fixed frame, a sorting device fixedly connected to the upper middle part of the worktable, and a conveying roller fixedly connected to the right end of the protective device.

[0008] The protective device includes a connecting plate, the left end of which is fixedly connected to the right end of the inclined plate;

[0009] The sorting device includes a fixed base, the lower end of which is fixedly connected to the middle of the upper end of the workbench.

[0010] Preferably, a controller is fixedly connected to one side of the fixed frame, and a support frame is fixedly connected to the lower end of the workbench.

[0011] Preferably, a first groove is provided on one side of the connecting plate, a first spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first groove, and a buffer plate is fixedly connected to the upper end of the first spring.

[0012] Preferably, a motor is fixedly connected to one bottom side of the buffer plate, and a first rotating roller is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor.

[0013] Preferably, two second rotating rollers are provided above the first rotating roller, and a conveyor belt is movably connected to one side of each of the second rotating rollers.

[0014] Preferably, a first electric telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the upper end of the fixed base, a first fixed plate is fixedly connected to the upper end of the first electric telescopic rod, and a second electric telescopic rod is fixedly connected to one side of the first fixed plate.

[0015] Preferably, one end of the second electric telescopic rod is fixedly connected to a second fixing plate, a second sliding groove is provided on one side of the second fixing plate, and a second spring is slidably connected to the inner wall of the second sliding groove.

[0016] Preferably, one end of the second spring is fixedly connected to a slide rod, one end of the slide rod is fixedly connected to a push plate, and one side of the push plate is fixedly connected to a buffer pad.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. This utility model provides an automatic feeding mechanism for metal billets during the forging process of a forging machine. The equipment is equipped with a protective device. By rationally designing the protective buffer device and the conveyor belt system, the entire process of metal billet feeding from feeding to forging can be automated, taking into account efficiency, quality and safety. When the metal billet falls freely from the feeding ramp, the impact of gravity on the conveyor belt or equipment may cause the billet to deform, surface scratches or internal stress concentration, affecting the subsequent forging accuracy. Free fall may cause the billet to roll or tilt, causing positioning deviation and affecting the accurate pushing of the conveyor belt. To ensure that the billet enters the conveyor belt in a stable state, the present invention reduces the risk of jamming or deviation. The first rotating roller is driven by a motor to start the conveyor belt, which facilitates the automatic conveying of flanges. In addition, a first sliding groove is set inside the connecting plate, allowing the buffer plate to move inside it. A first spring is added to buffer the impact force of its movement, which has a certain protective effect and prevents the flange from being directly slipped and damaged by impact.

[0019] 2. This utility model provides an automatic feeding mechanism for metal billets during the forging process of a forging machine. The equipment is equipped with a sorting device, which enables intelligent means to achieve "zero offset" in billet feeding. Its comprehensive benefits encompass multiple dimensions, including quality improvement, efficiency optimization, cost savings, and safety assurance. The sorting device uses a detector to sense the billet position in real time and drives the sorting components to reset the offset flange to a preset position, ensuring that the billet axis is completely aligned with the forging die. This avoids forming errors caused by positional deviations. If the offset billet directly enters the die, it may cause uneven flange wall thickness, shape distortion, or internal stress concentration. The sorting device effectively avoids such defects, improving efficiency and safety. To improve product qualification rate, automated sorting eliminates the randomness of manual intervention, ensuring consistent feeding posture and position for each blank, thereby guaranteeing the stability of flange dimensions, weight, and surface quality. The device can be fixed by a fixed base, improving the stability of the equipment structure. The height of the equipment can be adjusted by extending and retracting the first electric telescopic rod, and the position of the push plate can be moved by extending and retracting the second electric telescopic rod, making adjustment very simple. A second slide groove is set on one side of the second fixed plate, and the second spring inside can buffer the impact force of the second slide rod, preventing the equipment from directly contacting and damaging the flange. In addition, a buffer pad is set on one side of the push plate to further improve the buffering effect. Attached Figure Description

[0026] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, an automatic feeding mechanism for metal billets during the forging process of a forging machine includes a worktable 1. A sloping groove plate 2 is fixedly connected to the left end of the worktable 1, and a protective device 3 is fixedly connected to the right end of the sloping groove plate 2. This device, through the rational design of the protective buffer device and the conveyor belt system, enables full automation of the metal billet process from feeding to forging, balancing efficiency, quality, and safety. When the metal billet falls freely from the feeding ramp, the impact of gravity on the conveyor belt or equipment may cause billet deformation, surface scratches, or internal stress concentration, affecting the subsequent forging accuracy. Free fall may also cause the billet to roll or tilt, resulting in positioning deviation and affecting the precise pushing of the conveyor belt. Ensuring the billet enters the conveyor belt in a stable state reduces the risk of jamming or deviation. A fixed frame 4 is fixedly connected to the upper left part of the worktable 1, and a detector 5 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the fixed frame 4. A sorting device 6 is fixedly connected to the upper middle part of the workbench 1. This device can achieve the goal of "zero offset" in billet conveying through intelligent means. Its comprehensive benefits cover multiple dimensions such as quality improvement, efficiency optimization, cost saving, and safety assurance. The sorting device senses the position of the billet in real time through the detector and drives the sorting component to reset the offset flange to the preset position, ensuring that the axis of the billet is completely aligned with the forging die, avoiding forming errors caused by position deviation. If the offset billet enters the die directly, it may cause uneven flange wall thickness, shape distortion, or internal stress concentration. The sorting device can effectively avoid such defects and improve the product qualification rate. Automated sorting eliminates the randomness of manual intervention and ensures that the feeding posture and position of each billet are consistent, thereby ensuring the stability of flange size, weight, and surface quality. A conveyor roller 7 is fixedly connected to the right end of the protective device 3.

The first rotating roller 36 is driven to rotate by the motor 35, so that the conveyor belt 38 can start working, which facilitates the automatic conveying of the flange. In addition, the first slide groove 32 is provided inside the connecting plate 31, so that the buffer plate 34 can move inside it. The first spring 33 is added to buffer the impact force of its movement, which plays a certain protective role and prevents the flange from sliding down and being damaged by impact.

[0032] like Figure 4 As shown, a first electric telescopic rod 62 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the fixed base 61. A first fixed plate 63 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the first electric telescopic rod 62. A second electric telescopic rod 64 is fixedly connected to one side of the first fixed plate 63.

A second spring 67 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the second slide groove 66. A slide rod 68 is fixedly connected to one end of the second spring 67. A push plate 69 is fixedly connected to one end of the slide rod 68. A push plate 69 is fixedly connected to one side of the push plate 69. The device is fixed with a buffer pad and can be secured by the fixed seat 61, improving the stability of the equipment structure. The height of the equipment can be adjusted by extending and retracting the first electric telescopic rod 62. Similarly, the position of the push plate 69 can be moved by extending and retracting the second electric telescopic rod 64. The adjustment is very simple. A second slide groove 66 is provided on one side of the second fixed plate 65. The second spring 67 inside can buffer the impact force of the second slide rod 68 to avoid direct contact and damage between the equipment and the flange. In addition, a buffer pad is provided on one side of the push plate 69 to further improve the buffering effect.

[0033] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: Through the protective device 3, the motor 35 drives the first rotating roller 36 to rotate, so that the conveyor belt 38 can start working, which facilitates the automatic conveying of the flange. In addition, a first sliding groove 32 is set inside the connecting plate 31, so that the buffer plate 34 can move inside it, and a first spring 33 is added to buffer the impact force of its movement, which plays a certain protective role and prevents the flange from directly slipping and being damaged by impact. The sorting device 6 is used to fix the device through the fixing seat 61, which improves the stability of the equipment structure. The height of the equipment can be adjusted by extending and retracting the first electric telescopic rod 62. Similarly, the position of the push plate 69 can be moved by extending and retracting the second electric telescopic rod 64. The adjustment is very simple.
