Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of machining equipment technology, specifically to the field of metal parts surface treatment technology, and more specifically, to an intelligent air drying device and its control system and process for a digital machining center for winch drums. Background Technology
[0002] During machining operations, especially turning and drilling, winch drums require a large amount of coolant to control temperature and improve machining accuracy. However, this process generates a large amount of metal shavings (commonly known as "shavings") mixed with coolant. These mixtures accumulate on the outer circumference and inner drum of the winch drum, making cleaning difficult.
[0003] Due to its inherent viscosity, coolant causes metal shavings to adhere to the surface of the drum, especially those inside the drum, which are particularly difficult to remove quickly and effectively. This not only affects subsequent processing and assembly steps but can also reduce product quality and increase cleaning time and costs. Therefore, effectively solving the problem of coolant and metal shaving removal is crucial for improving production efficiency and product quality. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This invention provides an intelligent winch drum air-drying device, air-drying system, and process. Through the continuous flow of vertical and horizontal channels, the synergistic effect of swing and flipping mechanisms, and the real-time monitoring and adjustment of the intelligent control system, efficient and automated air-drying of the cutting fluid on the surface and inside of the winch drum is achieved.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention proposes a drying treatment device for a digital machining center of winch drums, comprising:
[0006] Air guide frame assembly, the air guide frame assembly comprising:
[0007] Vertical columns, fixedly connected to the external structure;
[0008] A horizontal column is located on one side of the vertical column, with both ends fixedly connected to an external fixing body.
[0009] An L-shaped column is installed on one side of the top of the horizontal column;
[0010] A fixing bracket is used to fix both ends of the L-shaped column to an external fixing body or external structure, respectively.
[0011] A vertical channel is formed by the space between the L-shaped column and the vertical column;
[0012] A horizontal channel is formed by the space between the L-shaped column and the horizontal column, and the horizontal channel is internally connected to the vertical channel.
[0013] The horizontal channel has a positioning groove on the bottom wall of the end away from the vertical channel, and a discharge port is provided on the top wall of the horizontal channel at the position corresponding to the positioning groove.
[0014] In addition, the air-drying device for a digital machining center for winch drums proposed in the above application may also have the following additional technical features:
[0015] Preferably, the device also includes a swinging component, the swinging component comprising:
[0016] The carriage is vertically slidably connected to the outer surface of the vertical column;
[0017] The swing frame is slidably connected to the inner wall of the vertical channel and rotatably connected to one side surface of the carriage.

[0020] The column is rotatably connected to the surface of the carriage and corresponds to the position of the synchronizing seat.
[0021] An irregular turntable is fixedly connected to the top of the column and slidably connected to the bottom of the adjusting shaft.
[0022] The design of this oscillating component effectively enables the roller to swing up and down, which helps to eject the cutting fluid from the hole and promotes the entry of hot air into the hole for drying, significantly improving drying efficiency and quality.
[0023] As a preferred option, irregular turntables include:
[0024] The disc body is fixedly connected to the top of the column.
[0025] The protrusion, the balancing part, and the recess are integrally formed and arranged in sequence on the top of the disc body;
[0026] The adjusting shaft is slidably connected to the surfaces of the protrusion, the balancing part, and the recess, respectively.
[0027] This irregular turntable design generates periodic height changes, which in turn drive the swing frame to swing up and down in a regular manner, ensuring that the surface and interior of the roller are thoroughly dried.
[0028] Preferably, a buffer component is also included, the buffer component comprising:
[0029] A limiting groove is formed on the surface of the horizontal column rod, located outside the positioning groove;

At the same time, automatic reset is achieved through the pneumatic push rod, which greatly improves the efficiency of continuously processing multiple rollers.
[0036] Preferably, a flipping mechanism is also included, the flipping mechanism comprising:
[0037] The toothed groove is formed on the side surface of the carriage near the vertical column;

[0040] The third gear is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the vertical column and meshes with the second gear.
[0041] The drive roller is rotatably connected to the surface of the vertical column, with one end of its central shaft penetrating into the interior of the vertical column and fixedly connected to one end of the central shaft of the third gear.
[0042] The design of the flipping mechanism enables the roller to flip synchronously during the descent process, ensuring that the hot air can thoroughly dry the cutting fluid on both ends of the roller, greatly improving the uniformity and effectiveness of the drying process.
[0043] Preferably, it also includes an intelligent air-drying control system, which includes:

[0048] Adjustable hot air generator;
[0049] An electric regulating valve is installed on the air supply pipe of the pneumatic push rod;
[0050] A touchscreen display is mounted on the outside of the air guide assembly.
[0051] The introduction of an intelligent air-drying control system enables real-time monitoring and parameter adjustment of the air-drying process. It automatically optimizes drying parameters based on the materials and sizes of the rollers, significantly improving drying quality and energy efficiency. Simultaneously, the system records and analyzes drying data, providing crucial information for process improvement and demonstrating its advanced digital and intelligent characteristics.
[0052] In summary, these optimized designs significantly improve the efficiency, quality, and automation of the air-drying process, while enhancing the adaptability and intelligence of the equipment, providing a comprehensive and efficient solution for the digital processing of winch drums.

[0138] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the invention, and should not be construed as limiting the invention. Rather, embodiments of the invention include all variations, modifications, and equivalents falling within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
[0139] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0140] like Figures 3-8 As shown, the present invention provides a drying device for a digital machining center of a winch drum. The device includes a guide frame assembly 13, which mainly comprises the following parts:
[0141] 1. Vertical column 131: Fixed connection to the external structure.
[0142] 2. Horizontal column 132: Located on one side of the vertical column 131; both ends are fixedly connected to external fixing bodies.
[0143] 3. L-shaped column 133: installed on one side of the top of the horizontal column 132.
[0144] 4. Fixing bracket 134: Used to fix both ends of the L-shaped column 133 to the external fixing body or external structure respectively.
[0145] 5. Vertical channel 135: formed by the space between L-shaped column 133 and vertical column 131.
[0146] 6. Horizontal channel 136: formed by the space between L-shaped column 133 and horizontal column 132.
[0147] The horizontal channel 136 is internally connected to the vertical channel 135. A positioning groove 01 is provided on the inner bottom wall of the end of the horizontal channel 136 away from the vertical channel 135, and a discharge port 02 is provided on the inner top wall of the horizontal channel 136 at a position corresponding to the positioning groove 01.
[0148] Vertical column 131, horizontal column 132, and L-shaped column 133 are all located on the side of the hot air dryer, facilitating the air drying operation on both ends of the drum body 100. The height of the horizontal channel 136 is greater than the width of the vertical channel 135, allowing the drum body 100 to automatically enter the interior of the horizontal channel 136.
[0149] In use, the roller 100 is moved to the top of the vertical column 131, aligned with the entrance of the vertical channel 135, and then released. Under gravity, the roller 100 falls into the vertical channel 135 and moves along the inner wall. Simultaneously, the hot air dryer operates to dry the cutting fluid on both ends of the roller 100. When the roller 100 reaches its end position, it automatically enters the horizontal channel 136 and moves along the inner wall to its end, partially settling into the positioning groove 01 for positioning.
[0150] In one embodiment (such as) Figures 3-4 As shown), the air deflector assembly 13 also includes a swing assembly 14. The swing assembly 14 includes the following parts:
[0151] 1. Carriage 141: It is vertically slidably connected to the outer surface of the vertical column 131.
[0152] 2. Swing frame 142: Slidably connected to the inner wall of the vertical channel 135, and rotatably connected to one side surface of the slide 141.
[0153] 3. Synchronous seat 143: Rotatably connected to the other side surface of the slide 141, and fixedly connected to one end of the central shaft of the swing frame 142.
[0154] 4. Adjusting shaft 144: symmetrically fixedly connected to the bottom of the synchronous seat 143.
[0155] 5. Column 145: Rotatably connected to the surface of slide 141, corresponding to the position of synchronous seat 143.
[0156] 6. Irregular turntable 146: Fixedly connected to the top of the column 145 and slidably connected to the bottom of the adjusting shaft 144.
[0157] 7. Fixing rod 147: It is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the column groove, and one end penetrates into the inside of the column tube 145.
[0158] 8. Protruding shaft 148: It is fixedly connected to the end of the fixed rod 147 and located in the limiting guide groove 149 opened on the surface of the column 145.
[0159] 9. First spring 03: Sleeved on the outside of fixed rod 147.
[0160] 10. Rotating seat 04: Rotatably connected to the bottom of the column 145 and fixedly connected to one end of the first spring 03.
[0161] The swing assembly 14 is used to mitigate the impact force when the roller body 100 descends, allowing it to fall smoothly, and to drive the end of the roller body 100 to swing up and down, facilitating the entry of cutting fluid and hot air from the hole for drying. The swing frame 142 is adapted to the external dimensions of the roller body 100 and is used to support and limit the roller body 100.
[0162] In use, the roller 100 is placed on the swing frame 142. Under the action of gravity, the roller 100 and the swing frame 142 descend together, driving the movement of other components. The first spring 03 relieves the impact force of descent, and the cam shaft 148 moves along the limiting guide groove 149 to drive the column cylinder 145 to rotate. In turn, the irregular turntable 146 and the adjusting shaft 144 cause the swing frame 142 and the roller 100 to swing up and down, which facilitates the discharge of cutting fluid and air drying.
[0163] In one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figures 4-5 As shown, the structure of the irregular turntable 146 includes:
[0164] 1. Disc 461: Fixedly connected to the top of column 145.
[0165] 2. Protrusion 462, balancing part 463 and recessed part 464: are integrally formed on the top of the disc body 461 in sequence.
[0166] 3. The adjusting shaft 144 is slidably connected to the surfaces of the protrusion 462, the balancing part 463 and the recess 464 respectively.
[0167] 4. The structure of the limiting guide groove 149 includes: an upper vertical section 491, a middle spiral section 492, and a lower vertical section 493.
[0168] These three parts are sequentially opened on the surface of the column 145 from top to bottom and are interconnected.
[0169] In the initial state, the adjusting shaft 144 is located at the top of the balance part 463.
[0170] The specific work process is as follows:
[0171] The rotation of the S1 column 145 drives the disk 461 to rotate, which in turn drives the protrusion 462, the balancing part 463 and the recessed part 464 to move.
[0172] Since the positions of the two sets of adjusting shafts 144 are fixed, when the disc 461 rotates, one set of adjusting shafts 144 will slide in connection with the surface of the protrusion 462, and the other set will slide in connection with the surface of the recess 464.
[0173] The height change of the two sets of adjusting shafts 144 in S3 caused the synchronous seat 143 to become unbalanced and tilt to one side.
[0174] As the disc 461 rotates rapidly, the height of the adjusting shaft 144 changes more quickly, causing the synchronizing seat 143 to swing up and down.
[0175] The swing of the S5 synchronous seat 143 drives the swing frame 142 and the roller 100 to swing up and down, which is beneficial for throwing out the cutting fluid in the hole and for hot air to enter the hole for drying.
[0176] When the S6 cam shaft 148 moves within the upper vertical section 491 and the lower vertical section 493, it will not cause the column cylinder 145 to rotate, so that the roller body 100 falls smoothly.
[0177] When the S7 cam shaft 148 moves within the middle helical section 492, it will drive the cylinder 145 to rotate.
[0178] This design effectively enables the roller 100 to fall smoothly and oscillate periodically, improving the drying effect.
[0179] In one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 6 As shown, the air deflector assembly 13 also includes a buffer assembly 16. The buffer assembly 16 includes the following parts:
[0180] 1. Limiting groove 161: It is formed on the surface of the horizontal column 132 and is located outside the positioning groove 01.
[0181] 2. Rectangular slider 162: Sliding connection to the inner wall of the limiting groove 161.
[0182] 3. Second spring 163: connects the rectangular slider 162 to the inner wall of the limiting groove 161.
[0183] 4. Elastic locking post 164: Threaded connection to the top of one end of the rectangular slider 162, and engaged and fixed with the locking hole on the inner wall of the limiting groove 161.
[0184] 5. Fixing seat 165: The bolt is fastened to the top of one end of the horizontal column 132, corresponding to the position of the locking hole.
[0185] 6. Pneumatic push rod 166: Threaded to the inner wall of the fixed base 165, and connected to an external air source through an air supply pipe. One end of the push rod penetrates into the locking hole and abuts against one end of the elastic locking post 164.
[0186] The pneumatic actuator 166 has a solenoid valve on its air supply pipe, which is electrically connected to an external controller.
[0187] The buffer assembly 16 is used to buffer the impact force when the roller body 100 moves horizontally, reducing vibration. The pneumatic push rod 166 is used to trigger the rectangular slider 162 to reset.
[0188] The usage process is as follows:
[0189] When the S1 roller 100 enters the horizontal channel 136, it first contacts the rectangular slider 162.
[0190] S2 rectangular slider 162 is pressed into the limiting groove 161, compressing the second spring 163.
[0191] The S3 elastic locking post 164 moves with the rectangular slider 162 and engages with the locking hole when it reaches the locking position.
[0192] S4 roller 100 continues to move to positioning groove 01, partially sinking into it to achieve a limit. At this time, the position of roller 100 corresponds to the discharge port 02.
[0193] S5 prepares for the next round of buffering, and the pneumatic push rod 166 operates, with its output end extending.
[0194] The output end of S6 contacts the elastic retaining post 164, squeezing it back into the rectangular slider 162.
[0195] Under the elastic force of the second spring 163, the rectangular slider 162 resets and extends out of the limiting groove 161.
[0196] This design achieves effective buffering and accurate positioning of the roller body 100, while the pneumatic push rod 166 enables the automatic reset of the buffer mechanism, providing convenience for the continuous processing of multiple roller bodies 100.
[0197] In one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 , Figures 4-8 As shown, the swing assembly 14 also includes a flipping mechanism 15. The flipping mechanism 15 includes the following parts:
[0198] 1. Gear 151: It is formed on the side surface of the carriage 141 near the vertical column 131.
[0199] 2. First gear 152: Rotatably connected to the inner wall of the vertical column 131, with one end extending through the outside of the vertical column 131 and meshing with the teeth of the inner wall of the tooth groove 151.
[0200] 3. Second gear 153: Rotatably connected to the inner wall of the vertical column 131, meshing with the first gear 152.
[0201] 4. Third gear 154: Rotatably connected to the inner wall of the vertical column 131, meshing with the second gear 153.
[0202] 5. Drive roller 155: Rotatably connected to the surface of the vertical column 131 and in contact with the surface of the roller body 100. One end of its central shaft passes through the interior of the vertical column 131 and is fixedly connected to one end of the central shaft of the third gear 154.
[0203] The flipping mechanism 15 is provided in multiple sets, which correspond to the positions of the upper vertical section 491 and the lower vertical section 493 in the limiting guide groove 149, respectively.
[0204] The flipping mechanism 15 is used to synchronously drive the roller body 100 to flip during the descent of the roller body 100, so that the hot air can thoroughly dry the cutting fluid on both ends of the roller body 100.
[0205] The work process is as follows:
[0206] The S1 roller 100 descends, causing the swing frame 142 and slide 141 to descend along the surface of the vertical column 131.
[0207] During the descent of the S2 carriage 141, the teeth on the inner wall of the tooth groove 151 contact and mesh with multiple sets of first gears 152.
[0208] The rotation of the first gear 152 in S3 drives the rotation of the second gear 153, which in turn drives the rotation of the third gear 154.
[0209] The rotation of the third gear 154 in S4 drives the drive roller 155 to rotate.
[0210] S5 drives the roller 155 to contact the surface of the drum body 100, and drives the drum body 100 to rotate through friction, which facilitates the drying of the cutting fluid on the surface.
[0211] The setup of multiple flipping mechanisms 15 enables the following functions:
[0212] 1. Tilting mechanism 15 at the upper vertical section 491: After the roller body 100 enters the vertical channel 135, its outer surfaces at both ends are initially air-dried.
[0213] 2. Intermediate oscillation stage: The drum body oscillates 100 degrees, throwing out the cutting fluid in the hole, while hot air enters the hole to dry it.
[0214] 3. Tilting mechanism 15 at the lower vertical section 493: to perform secondary air drying on the residual cutting fluid that may flow back to the outer surfaces of both ends of the roller body 100 after swinging.
[0215] This design ensures that the cutting fluid on and inside the roller body 100 is fully dried, improving the drying effect.
[0216] Example 2: An intelligent air-drying control system is formed based on Example 1.
[0217] like Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment adds the following components to the original structure:
[0218] Central control unit: Installed outside the flow guide assembly 13, used to coordinate and control the operation of the entire system.
[0219] Temperature and humidity sensors: installed in vertical channel 135 and horizontal channel 136 to monitor the air-drying environment in real time.
[0220] Infrared temperature sensor: installed in vertical channel 135 and horizontal channel 136, used to monitor the surface temperature of roller body 100.
[0221] Weight sensor: Installed at the bottom of positioning slot 01, used to detect changes in the weight of roller body 100.
[0222] Adjustable hot air generator: Replaces the original hot air dryer, and the air temperature and speed can be adjusted as needed.
[0223] Electric regulating valve: installed on the air supply pipeline of pneumatic push rod 166, replacing the original solenoid valve.
[0224] Touch screen display: mounted on the outside of the air guide assembly 13, used for human-computer interaction and system status display.
[0225] Workflow:
[0226] S1. The operator inputs parameters such as the material type and size of the roller 100 via a touch screen display.
[0227] S2. The central control unit sets the initial drying parameters (such as temperature, wind speed, time, etc.) based on the input parameters.
[0228] S3. After the roller body 100 enters the system, the temperature and humidity sensor and the infrared temperature sensor begin to monitor the environment and the surface condition of the roller body 100 in real time.
[0229] S4. During the descent of the vertical channel 135, the central control unit adjusts the parameters of the adjustable hot air generator in real time based on sensor data to ensure the best drying effect.
[0230] S5. When the swing assembly 14 is working, the central control unit adjusts the swing frequency and amplitude according to the data from the infrared temperature sensor to optimize the internal drying effect.
[0231] S6. After the roller 100 enters the horizontal channel 136, the weight sensor begins to detect weight changes. The central control unit determines the drying progress based on the rate of weight change.
[0232] S7. If the weight change rate is lower than the set threshold, it indicates that the drying process is nearing completion, and the system will reduce the hot air temperature and enter the cooling stage.
[0233] S8. After air drying is completed, the central control unit controls the electric regulating valve to open and starts the pneumatic push rod 166 to reset the buffer assembly 16.
[0234] S9. Throughout the process, the touch screen display shows information such as drying progress and temperature curve in real time.
[0235] S10. The system can also record the drying data of each roller 100 for subsequent analysis and process optimization.
[0236] This new embodiment achieves the following improvements by introducing intelligent control and sensor networks:
[0237] 1. The drying parameters are automatically adjusted according to the different materials and sizes of the roller body 100 to improve adaptability.
[0238] 2. Monitor and adjust the drying process in real time to ensure optimal results and energy efficiency.
[0239] 3. Provides detailed process data to facilitate quality control and process optimization.
[0240] 4. It enhances the automation level of the system and reduces human intervention.
[0241] 5. Through precise control, the overall drying time may be shortened, and production efficiency may be improved.
[0242] This intelligent air-drying control system not only improves air-drying quality and efficiency, but also provides a data foundation for process improvement, meeting the requirements of modern manufacturing for intelligence and digitalization.
