Secondly, traditional transfer devices are often monolithic structures; if a part is damaged, repair and replacement are extremely difficult, leading to prolonged downtime of the entire production line and severely impacting production efficiency.

[0022] Example See attached document Figure 1 A modular water-cooled billet rapid transfer device includes a first transfer module unit 1 and a second transfer module unit 2. A rapid positioning mechanism is provided between the first transfer module unit 1 and the second transfer module unit 2 for fixing the assembly of the first transfer module unit 1 and the second transfer module unit 2.
[0023] Cooling mechanisms are provided above and below the first transfer module unit 1, and the height of the cooling mechanism above the first transfer module unit 1 is adjustable. The cooling mechanism consists of a water-cooling module and an air-cooling module.
[0024] In this embodiment, refer to the appendix Figure 2The water-cooled module includes a water collection pipe 3, with multiple atomizing nozzles 4 on its side wall. The air-cooled module includes a mounting plate 5 located behind the water collection pipe 3. A first motor 6 is fixedly mounted on the rear side wall of the mounting plate 5, and a fan blade 7 is located on the front side wall of the mounting plate 5. One end of the fan blade 7 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor 6. A water tank 15 is fixedly mounted below the first transfer module unit 1. A partition is provided in the middle of the water tank 15, and a water storage area is located below the partition. A water pump 16 is mounted on the outer side wall of the water tank 15. The input end of the water pump 16 is connected to the water storage area, and the output end of the water pump 16 is connected to a water delivery pipe 17. A water supply pipe 18 is connected between the water collection pipes 3 above and below the first transfer module unit 1, and one end of the water supply pipe 17 is connected to the interior of the water supply pipe 18.
[0025] It should be noted that during the billet transfer process, the water pump 16 is started to pump the water from the water storage area inside the water tank 15 into the water delivery pipe 17, and then the water delivery pipe 17 delivers the water to the water supply pipe 18. Finally, the water is distributed and delivered to the upper and lower water collection pipes 3 through the water supply pipe 18, and finally sprayed onto the billet through multiple atomizing nozzles 4. At the same time, the first motor 6 is started to drive the fan blades 7 to rotate, which can expand the spray range of the water mist and improve the cooling efficiency of the billet.
[0026] In this embodiment, refer to the appendix Figure 2 A fixed connecting rod 8 is fixedly connected between the water collection pipe 3 above the first transfer module unit 1 and the side wall of the mounting plate 5. The water collection pipe 3 and the mounting plate 5 are synchronously adjusted in height through a drive assembly. The drive assembly includes a first side plate 9 fixedly installed on both sides of the outer wall of the first transfer module unit 1. A lead screw 10 is rotatably connected inside the first side plate 9. A second motor 11 is fixedly installed at the top of the first side plate 9. The top of the lead screw 10 passes through the top of the first side plate 9 and is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor 11. A movable mounting block 12 is threadedly connected to the outside of the lead screw 10. Both ends of the water collection pipe 3 are installed inside the movable mounting block 12. A second side plate 13 is fixedly installed on both sides of the outer wall of the first transfer module unit 1 near the first side plate 9. A sliding groove 14 is opened inside the second side plate 13. Both ends of the mounting plate 5 are slidably connected to the inside of the sliding groove 14.
[0027] It should be noted that by starting the second motor 11 to drive the lead screw 10 to rotate, the movable mounting block 12 moves up and down along the inside of the lead screw 10 and the first side plate 9, and drives the mounting plate 5 to move up and down together, thus making it applicable to steel billets of different heights.
[0028] In this embodiment, refer to the appendix Figure 3 A filter screen 19 is provided above the partition, and the area between the partition and the filter screen 19 is a heat exchange zone; both ends of the water tank 15 have fitting grooves 20 on their inner sidewalls, and both ends of the top of the filter screen 19 are fixedly connected to fitting columns 21, which are fitted and installed inside the fitting grooves 20.
[0029] It should be noted that the cooled wastewater falls onto the filter screen 19 and is filtered first. The filtered water flows downwards to the heat exchange zone and can be used as hot water for heat exchange. Furthermore, the filter screen 19 can be quickly disassembled and installed through the engagement between the fitting column 21 and the fitting groove 20.
[0030] In this embodiment, refer to the appendix Figure 4 The rapid positioning mechanism includes positioning pins 22 fixedly connected to both ends of the second transfer module unit 2 near the end of the first transfer module unit 1. Positioning grooves 23 are provided at both ends of the first transfer module unit 1 near the end of the second transfer module unit 2. The positioning pins 22 are inserted into the positioning grooves 23. The positioning pins 22 are provided with threaded grooves 24. Fastening bolts 25 are provided at the top of the first transfer module unit 1 corresponding to the position of the threaded grooves 24. The fastening bolts 25 and the threaded grooves 24 form a threaded connection.
[0031] It should be noted that the second transfer module unit 2 and the first transfer module unit 1 can be quickly positioned by inserting the positioning pin 22 into the positioning groove 23 and tightening the fastening bolt 25 so that the bottom end of the fastening bolt 25 is locked inside the threaded groove 24.
[0032] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: A high-temperature steel billet is placed on top of the first transfer module unit 1, and the steel billet is transferred by rotating the conveying roller on the first transfer module unit 1. During the transfer of the steel billet, the water pump 16 is started to pump water from the water storage area inside the water tank 15 into the water delivery pipe 17, and then the water delivery pipe 17 delivers it to the water supply pipe 18. Finally, the water is distributed and delivered to the upper and lower water collection pipes 3 through the water supply pipe 18, and finally sprayed onto the steel billet through multiple atomizing nozzles 4. At the same time, the first motor 6 is turned on to drive the fan blades 7 to rotate, which can expand the spray range of water mist and improve the cooling efficiency of the steel billet. When the size of the steel billet is different, the second motor 11 can be started to drive the lead screw 10 to rotate, so that the movable mounting block 12 moves up and down along the inside of the lead screw 10 and the first side plate 9, and drives the mounting plate 5 to move up and down together, thus making it suitable for steel billets of different heights. The cooled wastewater falls onto filter screen 19 for filtration. The filtered water flows downwards to the heat exchange zone and can be used as hot water for heat exchange. The second transfer module unit 2 and the first transfer module unit 1 can be quickly positioned by inserting the positioning pin 22 into the positioning groove 23 and tightening the fastening bolt 25 so that the bottom end of the fastening bolt 25 is locked inside the threaded groove 24.
[0033] The above-described embodiments are merely illustrative of certain implementations of this utility model, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed. However, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
