Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steel wire cord production technology, and in particular to a lubricant copper adsorption device in the copper-plated steel wire drawing process. Background Technology
[0002] Wet drawing lubricant is a process lubricant used in the drawing of metal wires. Its function is to form a lubricating film between the drawn metal and the die wall, reducing interfacial friction, preventing metal adhesion to the die wall due to heat, thus reducing energy consumption and temperature rise during drawing, extending die life, ensuring product surface quality, and promoting uniform deformation. Especially in the production of steel cord, where most steel wires are copper-plated, long-term wet drawing of copper-plated wires can lead to an increase in the copper ion content of the lubricant. Currently, lubricant systems typically use automatic sedimentation to precipitate and remove impurities from the lubricant, thereby improving lubricant performance and reducing consumption. However, the high copper ion content in the accumulated lubricant sediment is detrimental to environmental treatment. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems existing in the prior art by proposing a copper adsorption device for copper-plated steel wire drawing lubricant.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A copper adsorption device for drawing lubricant from copper-plated steel wire includes a tank with a support at the bottom. The tank has an inlet and an outlet at its lower part. Inside the tank, slotted plates are arranged in pairs on both sides, with electrode plates installed between them. Copper busbars are installed on the outer sides of the slotted plates, and multiple RTO fuse holders are mounted on the copper busbars. Grooves are evenly spaced on one side of each slotted plate, and the grooved sides of the slotted plates on both sides are opposite each other. The thickness of the electrode plate is slightly less than the width of the grooves, allowing the electrode plate to be secured within the grooves of the slotted plates on both sides. The multiple RTO fuse holders on the copper busbars located on both sides of the slotted plates are staggered. The top of each electrode plate has protruding edges on both sides. When the electrode plate is installed on the slotted plate, only one protruding edge contacts the RTO fuse holder on the copper busbar to form an electrical connection.
[0005] Preferably, when the left convex edge of a plate is engaged with the RTO fuse holder on the left copper busbar, the right convex edge rests on the right slot plate, while the right convex edge of the adjacent plate is engaged with the RTO fuse holder on the right copper busbar, and the left convex edge rests on the left slot plate. The copper busbars on both sides are connected to the positive and negative terminals of the power supply, and the multiple plates installed on the slot plate are arranged in an alternating sequence of "+, -, +, -".
[0006] Preferably, the slot plate is connected and fixed to the inner cavity side wall of the slot by a fixing plate.
[0007] Preferably, a limiting groove is provided on the upper part of the slot plate to position it with the fixing plate and thus fix it to the slot body.
[0008] Preferably, the two protruding edges on the top of the electrode plate are of different lengths. During installation, the longer protruding edge of the electrode plate is inserted into the elastic clip of the RTO fuse holder, while the shorter protruding edge rests on the slot plate.
[0009] Preferably, the inlet is connected to a container for lubricant that has not absorbed copper, and the outlet is connected to a container for lubricant that has absorbed copper.
[0010] Even more preferably, the upper part of the electrode plate has a square hole for easy manual grasping.
[0011] Preferably, the copper busbar is connected and fixed to the slot plate by fasteners.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: the copper adsorption device for drawing lubricant from copper-plated steel wire uses PP material for the tank, which avoids corrosion of the tank during the reaction and reduces maintenance costs; multiple electrode plates are arranged between the slot plates, which increases the contact area between the lubricant and the electrode plates, thereby improving the efficiency of copper ion adsorption in the lubricant; the electrode plates are fixed by the slots to prevent misalignment during the reaction and damage to the circuit; the electrode plates are connected to the RTO fuse holder through the convex edge, which effectively prevents short circuits and enhances safety; this invention can effectively reduce the copper ion content in the lubricant, greatly improve the performance of the lubricant, and meet environmental protection requirements.

[0014] To provide a better understanding of the purpose, structure, features and functions of this utility model, detailed descriptions are provided below with reference to the embodiments.
[0015] like Figures 1-3 The copper adsorption device for drawing lubricant from copper-plated steel wire shown includes a tank 1. A support is provided at the bottom of the tank 1 to support the tank 1. The lower part of the tank 1 is provided with an inlet 2 and an outlet 3 to facilitate the entry and exit of lubricant. The tank 1 has a pair of slotted plates 4 arranged on both sides inside the tank 1. An electrode plate 5 is installed between the slotted plates 4. A copper busbar 6 is installed on the outside of the slotted plates 4. Multiple RTO fuse holders 7 are installed on the copper busbar 6.
[0016] The slotted plates 4 are fixed to both sides of the inner cavity of the groove 1, forming an installation cavity between them. Grooves are uniformly machined on one side of each slotted plate 4, and the grooved sides of the two slotted plates 4 are positioned opposite each other. Multiple electrode plates 5 are installed within the installation cavity. The thickness of the electrode plates 5 is slightly less than the width of the grooves, facilitating the insertion of the electrode plates 5 into the grooves of the two slotted plates 4, improving the stability of the electrode plate installation, and preventing misalignment. Figure 4 As shown, both sides of the top of the electrode plate 5 are provided with protruding edges to facilitate placing the electrode plate on the slot plate 4.
[0017] Reference Figure 2 As shown, the multiple RTO fuse holders 7 located on the copper busbars 6 on both sides of the slot plate 4 are staggered. Thus, when the electrode plate 5 is placed on the slot plate 4, only one side of the protruding edge contacts the RTO fuse holder 7 on the copper busbar 6 to form an electrical connection. That is, when the left protruding edge of an electrode plate 5 engages with the RTO fuse holder 7 on the left copper busbar, the right protruding edge rests on the right slot plate, while the right protruding edge of the adjacent electrode plate 5 engages with the RTO fuse holder 7 on the right copper busbar, and the left protruding edge rests on the left slot plate. Since the copper busbars 6 on both sides are connected to the positive and negative terminals of the power supply respectively, the multiple electrodes installed on the slot plate 4 are arranged in a staggered "+, -, +, -" sequence.
[0018] In a preferred embodiment, the other side of the slot plate 4 is connected to the inner wall of the groove 1 via a fixing plate 402. The horizontal plate serves as a support and fixation mechanism. To facilitate fixing the slot plate 4, as follows: Figure 5 As shown, a limiting groove 401 is provided on the upper part of the slot plate to facilitate its positioning with the fixing plate 402 and thus fixation with the slot body 1.
[0019] In another preferred embodiment, the protruding edges on both sides of the top of the electrode plate 5 are of different lengths. During installation, the longer protruding edge of the electrode plate is embedded in the elastic clip 701 of the RTO fuse holder 7, while the shorter protruding edge rests on the slot plate 4. The tank body 1 is made of PP material, which has excellent heat resistance and strong corrosion resistance, ensuring the lubricant reacts fully in the tank body 1 and preventing the lubricant from corroding the tank body 1 during the reaction process.
[0020] The inlet 2 is connected to a container for lubricant that has not absorbed copper, and the outlet 3 is connected to a container for lubricant that has absorbed copper.
[0021] like Figure 4 As shown, the upper part of the electrode plate 5 has a square hole, which makes it convenient for manual grasping of the electrode plate 5 to insert it into the slot plate and pull it out; the electrode plate 5 is made of stainless steel, which is more conducive to copper adsorption on the electrode plate 5 during the reaction.
[0022] The copper busbar 6 can be connected and fixed to the slot plate 4 by fasteners such as bolts.
[0023] The RTO fuse holder 7 includes a fuse element and a fuse holder for mounting the fuse element. When the copper busbar 6 is energized, the fuse element of the RTO fuse holder 7 will melt and break the circuit when the current in the circuit exceeds the set value, thereby protecting the equipment and circuit from damage.
[0024] In use, the copper adsorption device for the lubricant in the copper-plated steel wire drawing process involves the lubricant flowing into the tank 1 from the inlet 2, filling the entire tank 1, and then flowing out from the outlet 3. The copper busbars 6 on both sides of the top of the tank 1 are connected to the positive and negative terminals of the power supply, respectively. The electrode plates 5 are inserted into the grooves on the slot plate 4, such that the left convex edge of one electrode plate 5 engages with the RTO fuse holder 7 on the left copper busbar, and the right convex edge of the adjacent electrode plate 5 engages with the RTO fuse holder 7 on the right copper busbar. This arrangement of the electrode plates 5 in the tank, alternating between "+, -, +, -", creates a staggered arrangement. After energization, copper ions in the lubricant are deposited on the cathode electrode plate 5. Once a certain amount of copper has been deposited on the electrode plate 5, it can be periodically cleaned, allowing the electrode plate 5 to be reused.
[0025] This invention relates to a copper-plated steel wire drawing lubricant copper adsorption device. The tank is made of PP material, which ensures sufficient reaction of the lubricant to reduce the copper ion content and avoids corrosion of the tank during the reaction, thus reducing maintenance costs. Multiple electrode plates are arranged between the slot plates to increase the contact area between the lubricant and the plates, thereby improving the efficiency of copper ion adsorption. Grooves on the slot plates facilitate electrode plate installation, improve electrode plate stability, and prevent circuit damage caused by electrode misalignment during the reaction. The invention also features long and short... Different protruding edges can increase the rate of electrochemical reaction, and the connection between the protruding edges and the RTO fuse holder can effectively prevent short circuits and enhance safety. The stainless steel material of the electrode plates is more conducive to copper adsorption. This invention features an RTO fuse holder; when the current in the circuit exceeds a set value, the fusible element of the RTO fuse holder can cut off the circuit, protecting the equipment and circuit from damage. By setting multiple electrode plates, under the action of positive and negative electrodes, this invention adsorbs copper ions in the lubricant onto the electrode plates, thereby effectively reducing the copper ion content in the lubricant and greatly improving its performance. This invention has a simple structure, is easy to operate, allows the lubricant to circulate multiple times in the device, and can significantly reduce the copper ion content in the lubricant, thus meeting process requirements.
[0026] This utility model has been described by the above-described embodiments; however, these embodiments are merely examples for implementing this utility model. It must be noted that the disclosed embodiments do not limit the scope of this utility model. Conversely, any modifications and refinements made without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model are within the scope of patent protection of this utility model.
