Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of intelligent manufacturing technology, specifically to a bar end alignment and positioning structure. Background Technology

[0002] When storing bar stock in automated or conventional storage, loading with jigs (box-type support frames) is a common method. When multiple bars are stacked in the jig, the bars will go through unloading, hoisting, and handling processes from the receiving end, which can easily lead to unevenness or excessive length in the bundled bars.

[0003] In this situation, the bar stock needs to be aligned and its dimensions standardized before it can be stored in the storage equipment. Otherwise, operational accidents may occur, reducing safety. However, there is currently no standardized equipment specifically for alignment operations.

[0004] Therefore, it is essential to develop a structure that is relatively low-cost, involves fewer systems, and can meet the end-alignment positioning of bars under specific storage requirements, so as to achieve the alignment positioning of bars under specific storage conditions and provide bars of standard length for storage devices. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, this utility model provides a bar end alignment and positioning structure. This structure achieves bar end alignment and positioning through a support system and an alignment pusher system, providing standardized bars for storage. The support system includes multiple support frames, capable of holding bars of different lengths. The overall design is simple, with low cost, a simple system, and easy operation and maintenance, meeting the bar alignment and positioning requirements under specific storage needs.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: A bar end alignment positioning structure includes a support system for supporting several parallel bars and an alignment push plate system disposed at both ends of the bars. The support system has a guide groove for accommodating the bars. The alignment push plate system includes a push plate frame, a push plate, and a telescopic drive element. The push plate is hinged to the push plate frame. One end of the telescopic drive element is hinged to the push plate frame, and the other end is hinged to the push plate, for driving the push plate to rotate around the hinge point. The pusher plate has a first working state and a second working state: When in the first working state, the pusher plate rotates to a horizontal position, and its upper surface is lower than the lowest point of the guide groove so that the bar can roll or translate within the guide groove; When in the second working state, the pusher plate is driven to rotate to a vertical position by a telescopic drive element, and the distance between the pushers at both ends of the bar matches the length of the bar to limit the axial movement of the bar and achieve end alignment.

[0007] The support system includes at least two support frames arranged side by side along the axis of the bar for placing bars of different lengths. The material alignment pusher system includes two end material alignment pusher systems and several intermediate material alignment pusher systems arranged between two adjacent support frames. The two end material alignment pusher systems are respectively arranged at the outer ends of the support frames at both ends. The end material alignment pusher system includes a first pusher frame, a first pusher plate and a first telescopic drive element. The intermediate material alignment pusher system includes a second pusher frame, a second pusher plate and a second telescopic drive element.

[0008] The support frame consists of at least two parallel individual frames and a crossbeam between adjacent individual frames. Each individual frame consists of legs and circular groove support plates fixed on the legs. The circular groove support plates on each individual frame form guide grooves.

[0009] The support frame is fixed to the ground by the first anchor bolt.

[0010] Each support frame is equipped with a bar detection sensor to detect whether a bar is placed on it.

[0011] The bar material detection sensor is a photoelectric sensor.

[0012] The first push plate frame is fixedly connected to the support frame.

Detailed Implementation

[0023] like Figure 1As shown, the bar end alignment positioning structure includes a support system 200 and an alignment pusher system. The support system 200 is used to support several parallel bars 100, and the alignment pusher system is used to push the bars 100 to achieve end alignment. Several bars 100 are placed parallel to each other in the guide groove of the support system 200 along the arrangement direction of the support system 200, and the alignment pusher system is set at both ends and the middle of the bars 100.

[0024] Please refer to Figures 2 to 7 The support system 200 includes two support frames 210 arranged side by side along the axis of the bar 100 for placing bars 100 of different lengths; each support frame 210 consists of two parallel individual frames 211 and a crossbeam 212 between adjacent individual frames 211; the individual frame 211 consists of steel legs 211a and steel circular groove support plates 211b fixedly mounted on the legs 211a, and the circular groove support plates 211b on each individual frame 211 form guide circular grooves, which are steel semi-circular structures with a circular arc radius.

[0025] The support frame 210 is fixed to the ground by the first anchor bolt 213.

[0026] Each support frame 210 is equipped with a rod detection sensor for detecting whether a rod 100 is placed on it. The rod detection sensor is a photoelectric sensor, and in one specific embodiment, ELCO OS10-AK350CP6 is selected.

[0027] Please refer to Figures 8 to 11 The material pushing system includes two end material pushing systems 300 and an intermediate material pushing system 400 disposed between two adjacent support frames 210.

[0028] Two end-aligning pusher systems 300 are respectively installed at the outer ends of the support frames 210 at both ends. Each end-aligning pusher system 300 includes a first pusher frame 310, a first pusher plate 320, and a first telescopic drive element 330. The first pusher frame 310 is fixedly connected to the support frame 210. The middle-aligning pusher system 400 includes a second pusher frame 410, a second pusher plate 420, and a second telescopic drive element 450. The second pusher frame 410 is fixed to the ground by a second anchor bolt 440. A protective cover 430 is provided on the outside of the second telescopic drive element 450, and the protective cover 430 is fixedly installed on the second pusher frame 410. The telescopic drive elements (the first telescopic drive element 330 and the second telescopic drive element 450) are telescopic electric cylinders.

[0029] The pusher plate has a first working state and a second working state. When it is in the first working state, the pusher plate rotates to a horizontal position, and its upper surface is lower than the lowest point of the guide groove so that the bar 100 can roll or translate within the guide groove. When it is in the second working state, the pusher plate is driven to rotate to a vertical position by a telescopic drive element. The distance between the pushers at both ends of the bar 100 matches the length of the bar 100 to limit the axial movement of the bar and achieve end alignment.

[0030] The working process of the end-alignment positioning structure for the bar is as follows: Bar placement and detection: Several bars 100 are placed parallel to each other in the guide groove of the support system 200 along the arrangement direction of the support system 200. At this time, the bar detection sensor (photoelectric sensor) on the support frame 210 starts to work to detect whether there are bars 100 placed in the guide groove.

[0031] Determining bar length: The length of bar 100 is determined by the bar detection sensor signals at the ends and the middle. When both ends and the middle of the bar detection sensor have signals, the bar in the groove is determined to be a longer bar (e.g., a 6m long bar). When the ends of the bar detection sensor have no signal but the middle of the bar detection sensor has a signal, the bar in the groove is determined to be a shorter bar (e.g., a 3m long bar).

[0032] The push plate action achieves material collection: If the bar is determined to be a longer bar, the first telescopic drive element 330 of the end alignment pusher system 300 drives the first pusher 320 to rotate to the second working state (vertical position), so that the distance between the first pushers 320 at both ends matches the length of the longer bar, restricting the axial movement of the bar and achieving end alignment.

[0033] If the bar is determined to be shorter, the second telescopic drive element 450 of the intermediate alignment pusher system 400 drives the second pusher 420 to rotate to the second working state (vertical position), so that the second pusher 420 engages with the structure of the corresponding end, restricting the axial movement of the shorter bar and achieving end alignment.

[0034] In a specific instance (i.e.) Figures 1 to 11 As shown, the bar end alignment positioning structure includes two support frames 210 and an alignment pusher system. The bars 100 are stacked in the support frames 210 with guide grooves constraining them. That is, several bars 100 are placed parallel to each other in the support frames 210 along the arrangement direction of the support frames 210. The alignment pusher system is distributed at three points: the two ends and the middle of the two support frames 210. It pushes the two ends of the bars 100 in the support frames 210 to achieve the alignment effect of the bars 100, control the total length of the stockpile, and then use it for subsequent operations.

[0035] The support frame 210 consists of two individual frames 211 and several crossbeams 212. The top of the individual frames 211 is provided with a bar guide groove structure for stacking bars 100. The support frame 210 is fixed to the ground by the first anchor bolt 213. The bottom crossbeam meets the system's requirements for the strength and rigidity of the support frame 210. The bar detection sensors (i.e., the first bar detection sensor 220 and the second bar detection sensor 230) are installed at the outer end and middle of the support frame 210.

[0036] The end alignment and positioning of bars 100 of different lengths are achieved by combining push plates. For example, the first push plate 320 of the end alignment push plate system 300 on both sides can be used to align the ends of a 6m long bar, and the second push plate 420 of the middle alignment push plate system 400 can be used to align the ends of a 3m long bar. When there are signals from the bar detection sensors at both ends and the bar detection sensor in the middle, it is determined that the bar in the groove is 6m long, and the first telescopic drive element 330 of the end alignment push plate system 300 drives the first push plate 320 to move and align the bar. When there are no signals from the bar detection sensors at both ends and there are signals from the bar detection sensor in the middle, it is determined that the bar in the groove is 3m long, and the second telescopic drive element 450 of the middle alignment push plate system 400 drives the second push plate 420 to move and align the bar.
