Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of tower tray production and processing equipment, and in particular to a raw material storage platform for tower tray production. Background Technology

[0002] Tower trays are key internal components of tower equipment in chemical, oil refining and other fields. Their production and processing usually require large metal coils as raw materials, such as steel coils. During the production process, these heavy and bulky steel coils need to be precisely transported from the storage area to the uncoiling machine for subsequent uncoiling, leveling and stamping processes.

[0003] In current production practices, simple conveyor roller platforms are typically used to transfer steel coils. However, due to the cylindrical shape and heavy weight of the steel coils, they are prone to lateral deviation or off-center movement during conveying on the rollers due to their rolling inertia and slight initial positional deviations. This positional uncertainty makes it difficult for the steel coils to precisely align with the center axis of the uncoiling machine when they arrive at the loading station, requiring manual secondary adjustments. This not only reduces production efficiency but also increases operational complexity.

[0004] More importantly, once the steel coils are conveyed to the designated location, the process of loading them from the conveyor platform onto the uncoiling machine often relies on external lifting equipment, such as overhead cranes or forklifts. This separate operation mode not only disrupts the continuity of the production process but also requires highly skilled operators, makes it difficult to guarantee the accuracy of the loading, is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and poses certain safety hazards during hoisting. Current technology lacks a device that can integrate stable conveying with automated and precise loading functions, resulting in inefficient and unstable raw material handling processes.

[0005] Therefore, this utility model proposes a raw material storage platform for tray production to address the shortcomings of the prior art. Utility Model Content

[0006] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a raw material storage platform for tray production, aiming to improve the problems of raw material storage platforms for tray production in the prior art, such as the easy deviation of raw material transportation leading to inaccurate docking, low degree of automation in the feeding process, and cumbersome process.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a raw material storage platform for tray production, comprising: a storage platform, and a conveying mechanism disposed on the storage platform; the platform further comprises a limiting mechanism and a feeding mechanism.

[0008] The limiting mechanism includes at least one adjustable limiting roller for laterally limiting the raw materials during the conveying process.

[0009] The feeding mechanism includes a bracket for carrying raw materials, a lifting assembly for driving the bracket to rise and fall vertically, and a translation assembly for moving the bracket horizontally above the unwinding machine after it is raised.

[0010] Furthermore, the limiting mechanism is located on both sides of the conveying mechanism, and its adjustable limiting rollers can adapt to raw materials of different sizes and provide stable guidance for them; the feeding mechanism is located at the end of the storage platform to receive the raw materials conveyed by the conveying mechanism, and through the coordinated action of the lifting component and the translation component, it realizes the automated feeding action of first vertically lifting and then horizontally translating.

[0011] Preferably, the conveying mechanism further includes a first motor for driving the rotation of multiple conveying rollers, a transmission wheel connected to the first motor, and a transmission belt wound around the transmission wheel and the multiple conveying rollers.

[0012] Preferably, the conveying mechanism further includes an upper push plate and a lower push plate, which are alternately arranged on multiple conveying rollers.

[0013] Preferably, the limiting mechanism further includes a support frame fixed to the storage platform, a slide rod supported at both ends by the support frame, baffles installed at both ends of the slide rod, a connecting frame slidably sleeved on the slide rod, and a first screw threaded to the connecting frame; the limiting roller is rotatably connected to the connecting frame, and the first screw is used to drive the connecting frame to move along the axial direction of the slide rod to adjust the position of the limiting roller.

[0014] Preferably, the lifting assembly includes a hydraulic cylinder for driving the bracket to lift and lower, and a guide column that passes through the bracket to guide its lifting and lowering.

[0015] Preferably, a buffer spring is also provided between the bracket and the guide post, surrounding the guide post.

[0017] Preferably, the drive assembly includes a second motor and a second screw, the output end of the second motor is connected to the second screw, and the second screw is threadedly engaged with a slider fixedly connected to the slide table.

[0018] This utility model has the following beneficial effects: 1. In this utility model, a screw-driven, adjustable-width limiting mechanism is first set up. This mechanism dynamically limits the material on both sides during the entire material conveying process, which solves the problem of the material easily deviating due to rolling and poor conveying stability in the prior art. It achieves the technical effect of precise guidance and stable conveying, and can flexibly adapt to raw materials of different sizes.

[0019] 2. In this utility model, by setting up a feeding mechanism that first lifts vertically and then moves horizontally, the raw materials are seamlessly transferred from the storage platform to the unwinding machine, which solves the problems of cumbersome feeding process, low degree of automation and difficulty in ensuring docking accuracy in the prior art, and achieves the technical effect of automated and accurate feeding, improving production efficiency and safety.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Reference Figures 1-5 The present invention provides an embodiment of a raw material storage platform for tray production, which aims to solve the problems of easy deviation during raw material transportation and low automation and inaccurate docking in the prior art.

[0024] The raw material storage platform for tray production includes a storage platform 1 as a basic support structure, and a conveying mechanism, a limiting mechanism 8, and a feeding mechanism 9 installed on the storage platform 1. The conveying mechanism is used to convey raw materials on the storage platform 1 and includes multiple conveying rollers 2. The limiting mechanism 8 is used to provide lateral restraint during the conveying of raw materials and includes at least one adjustable limiting roller 806. By adjusting the position of the limiting roller 806, it can accommodate raw materials of different specifications and sizes, ensuring that the raw materials remain centered and stable during the conveying process and preventing deviation. The loading mechanism 9 is used to automatically transfer the raw materials conveyed by the conveying mechanism to the end of the storage platform 1 to the unwinding machine 10. Structurally, it integrates a bracket 904 for carrying the raw materials, a lifting component for driving the bracket 904 to rise and fall vertically, and a translation component for driving the bracket 904 to move horizontally after it is raised. This loading mechanism 9 achieves precise, stable, and automated docking of heavy raw materials from the storage platform to the unwinding machine 10 through a combined motion of vertical lifting followed by horizontal translation. The limiting mechanism 8 includes a support frame 801 fixed to the storage platform 1. A slide rod 802 is mounted on the support frame 801 at both ends, and baffles 803 are mounted on both ends of the slide rod 802. A connecting frame 805 is slidably sleeved on the slide rod 802, and a limiting roller 806 is rotatably connected to the connecting frame 805. A first screw 804 for driving the movement of the connecting frame 805 is threadedly engaged with the connecting frame 805. When the first screw 804 is rotated, the connecting frame 805 moves along the axial direction of the slide rod 802 under the drive of the first screw 804, thereby driving the limiting roller 806 to move synchronously. Through this screw-slider type adjustment structure, the distance between the two limiting rollers 806 can be precisely adjusted so that they can fit tightly against the sides of raw materials of different diameters, providing reliable lateral support and guidance.

[0025] The core structure of the feeding mechanism 9 is described in detail below: The lifting component of the feeding mechanism 9 specifically includes a hydraulic cylinder 905 and a guide column 903. The guide column 903 passes through the bracket 904, providing stable guidance for the vertical movement of the bracket 904. The piston rod end of the hydraulic cylinder 905 is connected to the bracket 904 to drive the bracket 904 to lift. A buffer spring 906 is also provided between the bracket 904 and the guide column 903, surrounding the guide column 903, to absorb the impact and vibration of the bracket 904 during the lifting process. The translation component of the feeding mechanism 9 specifically includes a slide rail 901 fixedly installed at the end of the storage platform 1, and a slide rail 901 slidably connected to the slide rail 902. The slide table 902 of 01 is mounted and fixed on the entire lifting assembly and the bracket 904. The translation assembly also includes a drive assembly for moving the slide table 902. This drive assembly consists of a second motor 908, a second screw 909, and a slider 907. The output end of the second motor 908 is connected to the second screw 909. The second screw 909 is threadedly engaged with the slider 907 fixedly connected to the slide table 902. The second motor 908 drives the second screw 909 to rotate, thereby driving the slider 907 and the slide table 902 as a whole to reciprocate along the length of the slide rail 901, ensuring the stability of the feeding process and the accuracy of the positioning.

[0026] To achieve stable driving of the conveying rollers 2, the conveying mechanism also includes a first motor 3, a transmission wheel 4 connected to the first motor 3, and a transmission belt 5 wound around the transmission wheel 4 and the multiple conveying rollers 2; to further enhance the driving force on the cylindrical raw materials and prevent them from slipping on the conveying rollers 2, the conveying mechanism also includes an upper push plate 6 and a lower push plate 7, which are alternately arranged on the multiple conveying rollers 2.

[0027] The support frame 801 is fixed to the storage platform 1. The slide rod 802 is supported at both ends by the support frame 801. The baffle 803 is installed at both ends of the slide rod 802. The connecting frame 805 is slidably sleeved on the slide rod 802. The limiting roller 806 is rotatably connected to the connecting frame 805. The first screw 804 is threadedly engaged with the connecting frame 805.

[0028] In order to achieve a smooth and buffered vertical lifting action of the bracket 904, the specific structure of the lifting assembly is as follows: the hydraulic cylinder 905 is used to drive the bracket 904 to lift, the guide column 903 passes through the bracket 904 to provide lifting guidance, and a buffer spring 906 is also sleeved on the guide column 903 and surrounds the guide column 903.

[0029] To achieve stable and precise horizontal movement of the bracket 904 after it is raised, the specific structure of the translation component is as follows: the slide rail 901 is fixedly installed at the end of the storage platform 1, the slide table 902 is slidably connected to the slide rail 901, and the bracket 904 and its lifting component are installed on the slide table 902; the driving component for driving the slide table 902 to move along the slide rail 901 includes a second motor 908, a second screw 909 and a slider 907, the output end of the second motor 908 is connected to the second screw 909, and the second screw 909 is threadedly engaged with the slider 907 fixedly connected to the slide table 902.

[0030] Working principle: In use, firstly, according to the size of the raw material to be conveyed, the first screw 804 is rotated. The first screw 804 drives the threaded connecting frame 805 to move along the slide bar 802, thereby adjusting the distance between the two limiting rollers 806 to adapt to the width of the raw material. When the raw material needs to be conveyed, the first motor 3 is started. The first motor 3 drives multiple conveying rollers 2 to rotate synchronously through the transmission wheel 4 and the transmission belt 5. The upper push plate 6 and lower push plate 7 alternately set on the conveying rollers 2 jointly push the raw material forward on the storage platform 1. During this conveying process, the limiting rollers 806 on both sides continuously roll and limit the side wall of the raw material, ensuring that the raw material is stably conveyed along a straight path.

[0031] When the raw material is conveyed to the loading mechanism 9 at the end of the storage platform 1, the hydraulic cylinder 905 in the lifting assembly is activated, pushing the bracket 904 to rise vertically under the guidance of the guide column 903. The rising process is buffered by the buffer spring 906 until the raw material is smoothly lifted away from the conveying roller 2. Subsequently, the second motor 908 in the translation assembly is activated and drives the second screw 909 to rotate. The second screw 909, through its threaded engagement with the slider 907, drives the slide table 902, which is fixed with the bracket 904 and the lifting assembly, to move horizontally along the slide rail 901 as a whole, and finally accurately delivers the raw material to the top of the unwinding machine 10, realizing the fully automated operation from storage, conveying, limiting to loading.
