Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of tungsten wire processing equipment, and more particularly to a tungsten electrode cleaning cylinder and cleaning equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Tungsten electrodes are slender tungsten products made of pure tungsten or tungsten alloys. They are widely used as electrode materials in argon arc welding technology and can also be used as instrument probes. They have advantages such as high temperature resistance, high hardness, and good electrical conductivity.

[0003] Tungsten electrodes are produced using a wire drawing process. This process involves heating the metal raw material to a plastic state, stretching it to the desired diameter, straightening it, and finally cooling and cutting it to obtain a tungsten electrode of the specified length. However, the heating, drawing, straightening, and cutting processes leave stains such as graphite, oil, and powder agglomerates on the surface of the tungsten electrode. There is no dedicated cleaning equipment for tungsten electrodes, so manual washing of the electrodes in a water tank is required, which greatly increases the labor intensity of workers and reduces work efficiency. This is a problem. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention provides a tungsten electrode cleaning cylinder and cleaning equipment to improve existing problems.

[0005] This invention is achieved through the following technical solution: A tungsten electrode cleaning cylinder and cleaning equipment are disclosed, comprising a cleaning cylinder, a fixing frame, and a cleaning tank. The cleaning cylinder is cylindrical and closed at one end, with several evenly distributed through holes on its wall. The fixing frame includes a horizontal plate and two vertical plates, the vertical plates being vertically fixed to both ends of the horizontal plate. Limit strips are fixed to both sides of the horizontal plate, and several evenly distributed through holes are also provided on the vertical and horizontal plates. The cleaning tank has two water inlets at the upper part of its side wall and a water outlet at the bottom of its side wall. A partition plate is fixed inside the cleaning tank. A partition divides the cleaning tank into two areas: a larger cleaning area and a smaller non-cleaning area. A support frame is located at the bottom of the cleaning tank, with two tracks fixed to it. Rollers are mounted on the bottom of the cleaning tank and rotate along the tracks. A drive mechanism is fixed to one side of the cleaning tank and connected to it. A row of cleaning cylinders is placed within the fixed frame, and several layers of fixed frames are stacked within the cleaning area. Tungsten electrodes are installed inside the cleaning cylinders. The drive mechanism causes the cleaning tank to reciprocate left and right on the support frame to shake and clean the tungsten electrodes.

[0006] In a further optimized configuration, the water outlet is located in the middle of the cleaning zone and the non-cleaning zone, and both the cleaning zone and the non-cleaning zone are connected to the water outlet.

[0007] Further optimized, the upper middle part of the partition plate is provided with several evenly distributed second through holes, which connect the cleaning area and the non-cleaning area.

[0008] Further optimized, a lifting block is fixed on the inner wall of the fixed frame vertical plate, the lifting block has a hook hole, and a sliding groove is provided on one side of the hook hole.

[0009] Further optimized, it also includes a carrying handle with hooks at both ends. The hooks are inserted into hook holes through the slide grooves. The carrying handle is used to lift the fixed frame that holds the cleaning cylinder.

[0010] In a further optimized manner, the drive mechanism includes a motor and a synchronization plate. The motor is fixed to one side of the bracket, a drive wheel is fixed to the output shaft of the motor, an eccentric shaft is fixed to the drive wheel, a connecting rod is hinged to the eccentric shaft, the connecting rod is hinged to the synchronization plate, and the synchronization plate is fixed to the bottom of the cleaning tank.

[0011] In a further optimized manner, a panel is fixed on the bracket, the track is fixed on the panel, buffer blocks are fixed at both ends of the track, a strip opening is opened on the panel between the two tracks, the synchronization plate passes through the strip opening, and a limiting roller is provided at the bottom of the synchronization plate, the limiting roller is in contact with the bottom of the panel.

[0012] In a further optimized manner, a limiting block is provided at the bottom of the synchronization plate, the limiting block is connected to the synchronization plate by adjusting bolts, and the limiting roller is rotatably connected to the limiting block.

[0013] Further optimized, the inlet and outlet are connected to pleated tubes, and the distal end of the pleated tubes is equipped with a solenoid valve.

[0014] Further optimized, the closed end of the cleaning cylinder has 4-8 small holes.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are: This invention provides a cleaning device specifically for cleaning tungsten electrodes. The tungsten electrode is placed inside a cleaning cylinder, which is then placed in a fixed frame and stacked in a cleaning tank. A drive mechanism drives the cleaning tank to reciprocate on a track for shaking cleaning.

[0016] The cleaning tank in this invention is equipped with a partition, which divides the cleaning tank into a cleaning zone and a non-cleaning zone. The non-cleaning zone and the cleaning zone are connected by a through hole in the upper part of the partition. The cleaning cylinder is placed in the cleaning zone, while the non-cleaning zone is relatively small. When the cleaning tank is shaken, the sloshing amplitude of the cleaning liquid in the two zones will be different. Some metal debris will settle in the non-cleaning zone, avoiding continuous retention in the cleaning zone and helping to improve the cleaning effect.

[0017] In this invention, the cleaning box is driven by a motor and a connecting rod. The connecting rod drives the cleaning box to roll back and forth on the track through a synchronous plate. At the same time, a limiting roller is provided at the bottom of the synchronous plate to restrict the cleaning box on the track. The design structure is simple, stable and reliable.

[0018] In this invention, a small hole is designed at the closed end of the cleaning cylinder. After the cleaning is completed, the cleaning cylinder will be vertically placed into the drying device for drying. The small hole facilitates water seepage. Attached Figure Description

[0030] To clearly illustrate the technical features of this solution, the invention will be described in detail below through specific embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the description of this invention, it should be noted that the terms "left," "right," "front," "rear," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for the convenience of describing the invention and for simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the invention.

[0031] like Figures 1-10 As shown, this invention provides a tungsten electrode cleaning cylinder and cleaning equipment, including a cleaning cylinder 2, a fixing frame 1, and a cleaning tank 3. The cleaning cylinder 2 is cylindrical and closed at one end, and several evenly distributed through holes are formed on the cylinder wall. The tungsten electrode 9 is installed inside the cleaning cylinder. It should be noted that during cleaning, the tungsten electrode should not fill the cleaning cylinder completely, generally occupying 1 / 2 to 2 / 3 of the space, to allow sufficient space for the tungsten electrode to move.

[0032] The fixed frame 1 includes a horizontal plate 13 and two vertical plates 14. The vertical plates 14 are vertically fixed to both ends of the horizontal plate 13. Limiting strips 11 are fixed on both sides of the horizontal plate 13. Several evenly distributed through holes are also provided on the vertical plates 14 and the horizontal plate 13. The limiting strips restrict the front and rear positions of the cleaning cylinder.

[0033] The cleaning tank 3 has two water inlets 31 on the upper part of its side wall, one for adding clean water and the other for adding cleaning agent. A water outlet 32 ​​is located at the bottom of the side wall for draining wastewater. A partition plate 38 is fixed inside the cleaning tank 3, dividing it into two areas: a larger cleaning area 382 and a smaller non-cleaning area 383. The cleaning cylinder and the fixing frame are stacked within the cleaning area 382. A support frame is located at the bottom of the cleaning tank 3, with two tracks 62 fixed on it. Rollers 33 are mounted on the bottom of the cleaning tank and rotate on the tracks 62. A drive mechanism 5 is fixed to one side of the cleaning tank and connected to it.

[0034] A row of cleaning cylinders 2 is placed inside the fixed frame 1, and there is a certain gap between the cleaning cylinders. Several layers of fixed frames 1 are stacked in the cleaning area 382. The tungsten electrode 9 is installed in the cleaning cylinder 2. The driving mechanism drives the cleaning box 3 to move back and forth on the support to shake and clean the tungsten electrode.

[0035] In a preferred embodiment, the water outlet 32 ​​is located in the middle of the cleaning area 382 and the non-cleaning area 383. Both the cleaning area and the non-cleaning area are connected to the water outlet 32. The water outlet is used for sewage discharge. Sharing a single water outlet can reduce the number of connecting pipes.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment, the upper middle part of the partition plate 38 is provided with several evenly distributed second through holes 381. The second through holes connect the cleaning zone and the non-cleaning zone. The cleaning cylinder 2 is placed in the cleaning zone 382. The non-cleaning zone 383 is relatively narrow. When the cleaning tank is shaken, the shaking amplitude of the cleaning liquid in the two zones will be different. Some metal debris will gradually settle in the non-cleaning zone, avoiding continuous retention in the cleaning zone and helping to improve the cleaning effect.

[0037] In a preferred embodiment, a lifting block 12 is fixed to the inner wall of the vertical plate of the fixed frame 1. The lifting block has a hook hole 122 and a sliding groove 121 on one side of the hook hole. The function of the lifting block is to facilitate the insertion or removal of the fixed frame.

[0038] As a preferred embodiment, it also includes a carrying rod 8, with hooks 81 at both ends. The hooks 81 are inserted into hook holes 122 through the slide groove 121. The carrying rod is used in conjunction with the fixed frame to lift the fixed frame that holds the cleaning cylinder. The design is ingenious and convenient to use.

[0039] In a preferred embodiment, the drive mechanism 5 includes a motor 51 and a synchronization plate 34. The motor 51 is fixed to one side of the bracket, and a drive wheel 52 is fixed to the output shaft of the motor 51. An eccentric shaft 53 is fixed to the drive wheel, and a connecting rod 54 is hinged to the eccentric shaft. The connecting rod is hinged to the synchronization plate 34, which is fixed to the bottom of the cleaning tank 3. Driven by the motor and the connecting rod, the connecting rod drives the cleaning tank to reciprocate on the track via the synchronization plate.

[0040] Furthermore, a panel 6 is fixed to the bracket, and a track 62 is fixed to the panel 6. Both ends of the track 62 are fixed with buffer blocks 63, and rubber pads are fixed inside the buffer blocks to prevent the rollers from running off the track. A strip-shaped opening 61 is provided on the panel between the two tracks 62. The synchronization plate 34 passes through the strip-shaped opening 61, and a limiting roller 37 is provided at the bottom of the synchronization plate 34. The limiting roller contacts the bottom of the panel 6. The synchronization plate 34, in conjunction with the limiting roller 37, restricts the rollers 33 of the cleaning tank 3 to the track. The limiting roller 37 moves together with the synchronization plate. The structure is ingeniously designed, stable, and reliable.

[0041] In a preferred embodiment, the bottom of the synchronization plate 34 is provided with a limiting block, the limiting block 35 is connected to the synchronization plate 34 by adjusting bolts 36, and the limiting roller 37 is rotatably connected to the limiting block 35, which facilitates equipment assembly and allows adjustment of the tension between the roller and the track.

[0042] In a preferred embodiment, a pleated tube is connected to the inlet 31 and the outlet 32. A solenoid valve is provided at the distal end of the pleated tube. The pleated tube is adapted to reciprocate with the cleaning tank, reducing the chance of damage.

[0043] In a preferred embodiment, the closed end of the cleaning cylinder has 4-8 small holes. After cleaning, the cleaning cylinder is vertically placed into a dehydration and drying device for dehydration and drying. The small holes facilitate downward water seepage.
