Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field to Which the Invention Pertains] The present invention relates to a billet conveying device for a billet heater that has a compact structure and is capable of intermittent conveying of a fixed amount of billets at once.

[Prior art and its problems]

In the billet conveying device of a billet heater, which pushes the billet with a pusher and sends it from the conveyor table into the induction heating coil, the pusher gets in the way, so generally the billet feeder's billet outlet is arranged parallel to the conveyor table and the billet is transferred from the outlet to the conveyor table. However, this structure had the disadvantage of increasing the size of the entire device.

[Purpose of the invention]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks, it is an object of the present invention to provide a billet conveying device for a billet heater which has a compact structure and is capable of intermittently conveying a certain amount of billets in batches.

[Key points of the invention]

According to the present invention, these objects include: a billet feeder that continuously aligns and feeds billets from a billet delivery port; a first fixed table into which the billets sent from the billet delivery port are fed; a second fixed base located on an extension of the fixed base; a movable base arranged reciprocally on the second fixed base for receiving and conveying a certain amount of billets from the first fixed base; and the first fixed base. quantification means for passing a fixed amount of billets from the table onto the movable table; and a quantification means provided above the second fixed table so as to be movable up and down, after the billets have been lowered and conveyed by the movable table. a stopper that engages with the end face and places the billet on the movable base onto the second fixed base by the return motion of the movable base; and an induction heating member that feeds the billet placed on the second fixed base. This is achieved by comprising a coil and.

[Embodiments of the invention]

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention, in which a billet outlet 1a of a billet feeder 1 and a conveying means 4 for feeding a metal billet 2 sent from the outlet 1a into an induction heating coil 3 are arranged on the same straight line. It is set up. The feeder 1 is capable of feeding the billets 2 in pieces from an input port (not shown) and then feeding them out in a continuous line from the delivery port 1a.
The flow can be temporarily stopped by pressing with the piston-shaped stopper 5 shown in the figure. The conveyance means 4 consists of fixed tables 6 and 7 having an inverted C-shaped cross section and a movable table 8 of an appropriate length, and this movable table 8 is adjacent to the fixed table 6 at the same level and is movable toward the coil 3. As shown in FIG. 3, it is supported by rollers 9 and placed on the upper surface of a fixed base 7. As shown in FIG.
A detection means 10 which also serves as a stopper for the billet 2 placed on the movable table 8 through the detection means 10 is provided to be movable in the vertical direction and adjustable in position in the transport direction.

The detection means 10 is for quantifying the billet 2 on the movable table 8;
0 and the stopper 5 constitute a quantification means for passing a fixed amount of billet 2 from the fixed table 6 onto the movable table 8. When the detection means 10 is activated, the stopper 5 is interlocked to press down the billet 2 on the fixing base 6, as shown in FIG. In this state, the detection means 10 is raised as shown in FIG. 6, and then the movable table 8 on which a certain amount of billet 2 is placed is advanced toward the coil 3 to a predetermined position as shown in FIG. In this state, a stopper 11 such as a cylinder that also serves as a pusher for the billet 2 is provided near the rear end of the billet 2 so as to be movable in the vertical direction and in the transport direction. When the billet 2 is engaged with the movable base 8 and moved back to its original position, the billet 2 is placed on the fixed base 7 as shown in FIG. This billet 2 is connected to a stopper 11 as shown in FIG.
is pushed into the coil 3, while the detection means 10 and the stopper 5 are lowered or raised to repeat the above operation. The stopper 11 is provided so as to be movable only in the vertical direction, and the stopper 11 is movable only in the vertical direction.
It is also possible to push and feed the movable table 8, which moves forward in the next takt.

In FIG. 11 showing another embodiment, as the movable table 18 moves forward, it lowers diagonally to a level lower than the fixed table 17, and transports the billet 2 on the movable table 18 so that it can be transferred onto the fixed table 17. It is divided into two strips in the direction. The movable table 18 can also be configured to hold the billet 2 between chucks or the like from both sides. According to this embodiment, even if the stopper 11 is omitted, the billet 2 can be transferred onto the fixed table 17 and the movable table 18 can be moved backward.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to this invention, in a billet conveying device for a billet heater, the billet feeder's billet outlet and the billet conveying means are disposed on the same straight line, and a detecting means for quantifying the billet on the conveying means and a detecting means for quantifying the billet on the conveying means and a detecting means for quantifying the billet on the conveying means are connected to each other. Since a stopper is provided on the conveying means to control the billets sent out from the outlet so that they can be sent out intermittently, it is possible to achieve the effect that billets can be conveyed in a fixed amount at a constant tact with a compact structure.
