Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to an irregular motion type impregnation device for anchor chain production and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] An anchor chain is a chain that connects the anchor to the hull of a ship, used to transmit and cushion external forces acting on the vessel. It also generates some friction.

[0003] Because they are exposed to humid environments for extended periods and are typically made of steel, anchor chains usually undergo a dipping process before leaving the factory to prevent them from rusting and affecting normal use.

[0004] Existing impregnation methods typically involve unfolding the anchor chain and immersing it in an impregnation tank using a gantry or similar device. The chain is then soaked for an extended period to achieve the desired impregnation effect. However, due to the length of the anchor chain, multiple segmented impregnations are required, resulting in low overall efficiency. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an impregnation device that can achieve rapid and continuous impregnation. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an irregular motion type impregnation device for anchor chain production and its usage method, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: including a mounting frame and a paint immersion tank, wherein the mounting frame is provided with a drive mechanism that can drive the anchor chain to unfold and drive the anchor chain to be immersed in the paint immersion tank, and the paint immersion tank is provided with an acceleration mechanism that can drive the paint to fluctuate.

[0007] The driving mechanism includes a first bracket symmetrically arranged on the surface of the mounting frame that can move towards or relative to each other. Both the first bracket and the mounting frame are provided with support wheels, and the support wheels are provided with a conveyor belt that can drive the anchor chain to move.

[0008] The acceleration mechanism includes two scrapers. The scraper located at the bottom of the impregnation tank can reciprocate along the bottom of the impregnation tank, and the scraper located on the side of the impregnation tank can reciprocate along the side of the impregnation tank.

[0009] Preferably, the mounting bracket has extension rods symmetrically arranged on its surface, and slide rails are provided on the extension rods. The first bracket is disposed on the slide rails. The mounting bracket has electric actuators symmetrically arranged on its surface, and the first bracket is disposed on the surface of the electric actuators.

[0010] Preferably, a second bracket is symmetrically arranged on the lower surface of the mounting bracket, and two support wheels are arranged on the second bracket.

[0011] Preferably, the surface of the impregnation tank is provided with a transmission chamber, and driven gears are symmetrically arranged inside the transmission chamber. The two driven gears are connected to the driving gear through a rack.

[0012] Preferably, the surfaces of the two driven gears are provided with a first reciprocating lead screw, the surface of the first reciprocating lead screw is provided with a slider, and the scraper provided at the bottom of the immersion tank cavity is provided on the slider.

[0013] Preferably, the impregnation tank is provided with a rotating chamber, the surface of the rotating chamber is provided with a second reciprocating screw, and the scraper provided on the side of the inner cavity of the impregnation tank is provided on the surface of the second reciprocating screw.

[0014] Preferably, a first motor is provided on the surface of the transmission chamber, the drive gear is provided on the first motor, and a second motor is provided on the rotating chamber.

[0015] Preferably, the lower surface of the conveyor belt is symmetrically provided with fixing clips.

[0016] Preferably, a third motor is provided on the surface of the first bracket, and the third motor is connected to the support wheel on the first bracket via a chain.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0018] 1. The whole unit drives the first bracket to move back and forth via an electric push rod, thereby causing the anchor chain on the fixed clamp surface to fold and immerse in the paint immersion tank and unfold and detach from the paint immersion tank. The whole unit has good continuity. When immersing long anchor chains in sections, the traditional method of transporting the entire immersed anchor chain section to the conveying point before it can be transported by the transport device is abandoned. Instead, the transport is carried out by loading materials while transporting, which greatly reduces the time consumed by transportation and thus increases the overall paint immersion efficiency.

[0019] 2. The entire unit moves slowly back and forth within the impregnation tank using two scrapers, causing the impregnating paint to move irregularly and slowly within the tank. This allows the paint to more easily penetrate the gaps in the anchor chain for effective coating. Furthermore, the slow movement of the entire unit does not affect paint adhesion, and there is no paint sedimentation during the movement. Therefore, no special anti-settling device is required, making the entire unit widely applicable for impregnation treatment of anchor chains. Attached Figure Description

Obviously, the described invention is only a part of this invention, not all of it. All other inventions obtained by those skilled in the art based on this invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0027] Please see Figure 1-5 The present invention provides an irregular motion type dipping device for anchor chain production, including a mounting frame 1 and a dipping tank 4. The mounting frame is provided with a drive mechanism that can drive the anchor chain to unfold and immerse the anchor chain in the dipping tank 4. The dipping tank 4 is provided with an acceleration mechanism that can drive the paint to fluctuate.

[0028] The driving mechanism includes a first bracket 204 symmetrically arranged on the surface of the mounting frame 1 and capable of moving towards or relative to each other. Both the first bracket 204 and the mounting frame 1 are provided with support wheels 206, and the support wheels 206 are provided with a conveyor belt 207 capable of driving the anchor chain to move.

[0029] The acceleration mechanism includes two scrapers 508. The scraper 508 located at the bottom of the inner cavity of the paint impregnation tank 4 can reciprocate along the bottom of the paint impregnation tank 4, and the scraper 508 located on the side of the inner cavity of the paint impregnation tank 4 can reciprocate along the side of the inner cavity of the paint impregnation tank 4.

[0030] Furthermore, extension rods 201 are symmetrically arranged on the surface of the mounting bracket 1, and slide rails 203 are provided on the extension rods 201. The first bracket 204 is disposed on the slide rails 203. Electric actuators 202 are symmetrically arranged on the surface of the mounting bracket 1, and the first bracket 204 is disposed on the surface of the electric actuators 202. The slide rails 203 restrict the movement path of the first bracket 204, and the electric actuators 202 drive the first bracket 204 to move.

[0031] Furthermore, a second bracket 205 is symmetrically arranged on the lower surface of the mounting bracket 1, and two support wheels 206 are arranged on the second bracket 205; the support wheels 206 are supported by the second bracket 205.

[0032] Furthermore, a transmission chamber 503 is provided on the surface of the impregnation tank 4, and driven gears 504 are symmetrically arranged inside the transmission chamber 503. The two driven gears 504 are connected to the driving gear 505 through a rack; the driving gear 505 drives the two driven gears 504 to rotate through the rack.

[0033] Furthermore, the surfaces of the two driven gears 504 are provided with first reciprocating lead screws 506, and the surfaces of the first reciprocating lead screws 506 are provided with sliders 507. The scraper 508, which is located at the bottom of the inner cavity of the immersion tank 4, is located on the slider 507. The slider 507 is slidably connected to the inside of the immersion tank 4. When the first reciprocating lead screws 506 rotate, they will drive the slider 507 to reciprocate inside the immersion tank 4, thereby driving the scraper 508 to reciprocate inside the immersion tank 4.

[0034] Furthermore, a rotating chamber 509 is provided on the impregnation tank 4, and a second reciprocating screw 510 is provided on the surface of the rotating chamber 509. The scraper 508, which is provided on the side of the inner cavity of the impregnation tank 4, is provided on the surface of the second reciprocating screw 510. The scraper 508 is slidably connected to the inside of the impregnation tank 4. When the second reciprocating screw 510 rotates, it drives the scraper 508 to reciprocate inside the impregnation tank 4.

[0035] Furthermore, a first motor 501 is provided on the surface of the transmission chamber 503, the drive gear 505 is provided on the first motor 501, and a second motor 502 is provided on the rotating chamber 509; the first motor 501 drives the drive gear 505 to rotate, and the second motor 502 drives the second reciprocating lead screw 510 to rotate through the rotating chamber 509.

[0036] Furthermore, the lower surface of the conveyor belt 207 is symmetrically provided with fixing clips 3; the anchor chain is fixed by fixing clips 3.

[0037] Furthermore, a third motor 208 is provided on the surface of the first bracket 204, and the third motor 208 is connected to the support wheel 206 on the first bracket 204 via a chain; the third motor 208 drives the support wheel 206 on the first bracket 204 to rotate.

[0038] A method for using an irregular motion impregnation device for anchor chain production includes the following steps:

[0039] Step A, Installation: First, install the paint dipping tank 4 at the designated location. Align the center point of the mounting bracket 1 with the center point of the paint dipping tank 4, and start the electric push rod 202 to drive the first bracket 204 to retract to the end position along the slide rail 203. Adjust the height of the mounting bracket 1 so that the fixing clip 3 at the lower end of the conveyor belt 207 can be completely submerged in the paint dipping tank 4. Then fix the mounting bracket 1.

[0040] Step B, Clamping: Start the electric actuator 202 to drive the first bracket 204 to unfold along the slide rail 203. Start the third motor 208 to drive the support wheel 206 on its surface to rotate, thereby driving the conveyor belt 207 to rotate. This causes the fixing clamps 3 on the surface of the conveyor belt 207 to move, so that one fixing clamp 3 is located at the anchor chain loading position and the other fixing clamp 3 is located on the side of the conveyor belt 207 near the mounting frame 1. The anchor chain is clamped by the first fixing clamp 3. Start the third motor 208 to drive the fixing clamp 3 to move, thereby driving the anchor chain to move. When the second fixing clamp 3 contacts the anchor chain, the anchor chain is clamped for the second time. As the conveyor belt 207 continues to move, the center point of the two fixing clamps 3 moves to the center position of the paint impregnation tank 4.

[0041] Step C, Immersion: Start the electric actuator 202 to drive the first bracket 204 to retract along the slide rail 203 to the end position. During the retraction process, the anchor chain will provide tension to the conveyor belt 207 under its own weight, keeping the conveyor belt 207 taut. The two ends of the anchor chain will fold inward continuously until it is completely immersed in the paint immersion tank 4.

[0042] Step D, Irregular motion dipping: Start the first motor 501 and the second motor 502. The first motor 501 drives the drive gear 505 to rotate, which in turn drives the driven gear 504 to rotate under the action of the rack. This drives the first reciprocating screw 506 on the surface of the driven gear 504 to rotate, which in turn drives the slider 507 to move back and forth inside the dipping tank 4, thereby driving the scraper 508 on its surface to move back and forth. Similarly, the second motor 502 drives the second reciprocating screw 510 to rotate through the rotating chamber 509, which drives the scraper 508 on its surface to move back and forth. During the reciprocating movement of the scraper 508, the paint inside the dipping tank 4 moves slowly and irregularly, so that the paint can more easily enter the gaps during the flow.

[0043] Step E: After the impregnation is completed, reverse the electric actuator 202 to allow it to unfold the anchor chain and detach it from the impregnation tank 4. Let it stand for a period of time to allow the excess impregnation paint to fall under gravity. Start the third motor 208 to move the anchor chain until the fixing clamp 3 at the front section is transported to the unloading point. Open the fixing clamp 3 and move the anchor chain to the external conveying device. The external conveying device and the third motor 208 start synchronously to move the anchor chain until the idle fixing clamp 3 encounters an unimpregnated anchor chain section and fixes it. Repeat the above operation to achieve continuous impregnation.

[0044] The present invention provides an irregular motion type impregnation device for anchor chain production and its method of use, which has the following advantages:

[0045] 1. The whole is driven by the electric push rod 202 to move the first bracket 204 back and forth, thereby causing the anchor chain on the surface of the fixed clamp 3 to fold and be immersed in the paint tank 4 and unfold and detach from the paint tank 4. The whole has good continuity. When the long anchor chain is segmented for paint immersion, the traditional method of having to transport the entire painted anchor chain segment to the conveying point before it can be transported by the transport device is abandoned. Instead, the method of transporting and loading at the same time is adopted, which greatly reduces the time consumed by transportation and thus increases the overall paint immersion efficiency.

[0046] 2. The entire assembly moves slowly back and forth within the impregnation tank 4 via two scrapers 508, causing the impregnating paint to move irregularly and slowly within the tank 4. This makes it easier for the paint to enter the gaps in the anchor chain for coating. Furthermore, the slow movement of the assembly does not affect the adhesion of the impregnating paint, and there is no paint sedimentation during the movement. Therefore, no special anti-settling device is required. As a result, the assembly can be widely used for impregnation treatment of anchor chains.

[0047] Although the invention has been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these inventions without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
