Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of equipment related to a polishing process of a stainless steel pot, and in particular to an automatic waxing system for pots. Background Art

[0002] When polishing stainless steel products, in order to ensure the polishing effect, an appropriate amount of polishing wax needs to be added during polishing. There are two main traditional methods: the first is to add water wax (polishing wax with a concentration of less than 30%), using a pressure barrel to generate pressure to supply the water wax to the spray gun, and then the spray gun sprays the water wax to the point where the product and the polishing wheel meet during polishing. Although water wax is simple to use and easy to automate, it also has disadvantages: first, due to its relatively low concentration, the polishing quality is relatively poor; second, due to the high-speed rotation of the polishing wheel, the sprayed wax has difficulty adhering to the polishing wheel. Moreover, since the entire product needs to be covered, the wax gun needs to be located at a distance from the product (more than 30cm). Therefore, most of the polishing wax is usually either thrown off by the polishing wheel or directly sprayed elsewhere by the wax gun, which is a serious waste and results in low polishing consumables. The second method is to add solid wax, using a solid wax stick to stick the wax to the polishing wheel, and using the high-speed rotation of the polishing wheel to grind the wax stick and melt it inside the polishing wheel. Using solid wax provides high wax utilization and excellent polishing quality. However, the wax stick needs to fit the polishing wheel, which rotates at high speed and is subject to wear, making the waxing device complex and expensive. Furthermore, since the wax stick is usually no longer than 50cm, it needs to be frequently replaced, increasing labor costs. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the above-mentioned deficiencies in the prior art and provide an automatic waxing system for pots.

The provision of the first sealing ring ensures the airtightness of the wax storage tank. The stirrer and stirring paddle ensure uniform mixing of the paste polishing wax, thereby improving spraying quality.

[0008] The pressure device is a pressure barrel comprising a barrel body and a lid that covers the barrel body.
