AUTOMATED FLOW LINE FOR MANUFACTURING ARTICLES BY MOULDING METHOD Russian patent published in 1994 - IPC

FIELD: mechanical engineering. SUBSTANCE: automated flow line for manufacturing articles by method of moulding with preliminary scalping of blanks has induction heating furnace, device for scalping blanks before moulding and horizontal hydraulic press for moulding articles which are engaged with one another by means of transport and transferring devices and are positioned in the technological sequence along the axes parallel in plan. The transport- transferring device for transferring blanks from the heating furnace to the scalping device and their subsequent transfer to mechanism for loading them on press axle is in the form of turntable turnable to both sides and lifting-turning guide chute. The turntable is driven from two parallel hydraulic cylinders whose control rods are hinged with table base. The lifting-turning guide chute is hinged with actuating hydraulic cylinder and is provided with guiding rod and spring-loaded stops for fixing the blanks along the axis of scalping. The scalping device is provided with blank loading mechanism in the form of slide with pusher movable along the guiding bar and engageable with the actuating hydraulic cylinder via linkage mechanism. EFFECT: extended operating capacities. 3 dwg
