Abstract

A feeding device for wire derusting equipment includes a support frame and a transfer mechanism defining a receiving groove with an opening facing upward. The support frame defines a penetration space and a feed port connected to the penetration space along a lateral direction. The support frame is recessed downward from the top to form two limit grooves spaced apart from each other along the lateral direction, and the limit grooves are located relatively above the penetration space. The transfer mechanism can be controlled to move back and forth along the lateral direction. When the transfer mechanism passes through the feed port and enters the support frame, the receiving groove is connected to the penetration space upward. In the process of the transfer mechanism passing through the feed port and moving to the bottom of the penetration space, the wire in the receiving groove will be passed through by the hanger under relative movement, thereby completing the feeding operation automatically.

Description

Feeding device for wire derusting equipment

The present invention relates to a feeding device, and in particular to a feeding device for a highly automated wire rod derusting device.

Generally, wire rods are made through four processes: rough drawing, spheroidizing, pickling, and fine drawing. The pickling process is to place the coiled wire rods after spheroidizing in an acidic chemical tank to remove rust on the wire rod surface. During the pickling process, the wire rods that have been wound multiple times must first be manually inserted into the hanger of the overhead crane, so that the overhead crane can hang the hanger to transfer the wire rods to the pickling line. However, the aforementioned feeding method is too time-consuming, and the alignment and insertion can only rely on the experience and skills of the operators, resulting in too many human interference factors and is not conducive to automated mass production.

Therefore, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a feeding device which saves time and effort.

Therefore, the feeding device of the wire derusting equipment of the present invention comprises a support frame and a transfer mechanism defining a receiving groove with an opening facing upwards, the support frame defines a through-space and a feeding port connected to the through-space along a lateral direction, the support frame is recessed downward from the top end to form two limit grooves spaced from each other along the lateral direction, and the limit grooves are located at the upper side of the through-space. The transfer mechanism can be controlled to reciprocate along the lateral direction, and when the transfer mechanism passes through the feeding port and enters the support frame, the receiving groove is connected to the through-space upwards.

The effect of the present invention is that when the present invention is used, the two ends of a hanger are placed in the limiting grooves respectively, so that the hanger is placed in the insertion space, and then a wire is placed in the receiving groove, and the transfer mechanism is driven to move toward the support frame along the lateral direction. When the transfer mechanism passes through the feed port and moves to the bottom of the insertion space, the wire in the receiving groove will be passed by the hanger under the relative movement, thereby completing the feeding operation of putting the wire on the hanger. The present invention can reduce human interference factors to a minimum, is conducive to automation and can reduce work safety issues, achieving the effect of saving time and labor.

Referring to Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, an embodiment of the feeding device of the wire rod derusting equipment of the present invention comprises a track 1 laid on the ground and extending along a lateral direction A, a support frame 2 movably arranged on the track 1, and a transfer mechanism 3 arranged corresponding to the support frame 2. The support frame 2 comprises two supporting parts 21 spaced from each other along a working direction B perpendicular to the lateral direction A, a connecting part 22 connected to one side of the supporting parts 21 along the working direction B, and two receiving parts 23 connected to the supporting parts 21 along the working direction B and located above the connecting parts 22. The supporting parts 21 are slidably arranged on the track 1, and each supporting part 21 is generally H-shaped. The supporting parts 21, the connecting part 22, and the receiving parts 23 cooperate to define a through-space 24. The side of the supporting parts 21 not connected to the connecting part 22 cooperates with one of the adjacent receiving parts 23 to define a feed inlet 25 connected to the through-space 24 along the lateral direction A. Each receiving part 23 is recessed downward from the top surface to form a limiting groove 231 that passes through along the lateral direction A, and the limiting grooves 231 are spaced apart from each other along the lateral direction A.

The transfer mechanism 3 includes a guide rail 31 disposed on the ground and extending below the penetration space 24 along the lateral direction A through the feed port 25, a vehicle body 32 movably disposed on the guide rail 31, a power source 33 capable of driving the vehicle body 32 to move along the guide rail 31, and a placement seat 34 disposed on the vehicle body 32 and defining a receiving groove 340 with an opening facing upward. The placement seat 34 has two groove wall portions 341 spaced apart from each other along the working direction B and extending obliquely outward from the top surface of the vehicle body 32, a first end wall portion 342 connected to one side of the groove wall portions 341 along the working direction B, and a second end wall portion 343 connected to the other side of the groove wall portions 341 along the working direction B and spaced apart from the first end wall portion 342 along the lateral direction A. The first end wall portion 342 of the placement seat 34 forms a through opening 344 connected to the accommodating groove 340 along the lateral direction A.

Referring to FIG. 1 , FIG. 3 , and FIG. 4 , when feeding, the overhead crane will place the two ends of the hanger C in the limiting grooves 231 respectively, so that the hanger C is placed in the insertion space 24. The wire D to be pickled is also placed in the receiving groove 340, and then the vehicle body 32 is controlled to move toward the support frame 2 along the guide rail 31, and after passing through the feeding port 25, it enters between the supporting parts 21 and is located below the insertion space 24. At this time, the receiving groove 340 is connected to the insertion space 24 upward. In the above process, the support frame 2 and the placement seat 34 will move relative to each other and approach each other, so that the hanger C passes through the through opening 344 and the wire D in sequence, and then the wire D is sleeved on the hanger C, so that the feeding can be completed automatically. In addition, the supporting parts 21 can also slide along the wheel rail 1, so as to move the support frame 2 to different positions to receive the hanger C, thereby improving versatility.

In summary, the present invention can automatically complete the feeding of the wire D under the condition of low human interference factors, which can save a lot of manpower and working hours, and at the same time can also reduce the safety risks of personnel during operation, so it can indeed achieve the purpose of the present invention.

However, the above is only an example of the implementation of the present invention, and it should not be used to limit the scope of the implementation of the present invention. All simple equivalent changes and modifications made according to the scope of the patent application of the present invention and the content of the patent specification are still within the scope of the patent of the present invention.
