[0021] The present invention also provides a method for using a plasma spray protection device for a metal universal shaft, which is applied to the above-mentioned plasma spray protection device and includes the following steps:
[0022] S1: Before use, turn on the power supply and computer controller, and pre-store oil in the oil tank;
[0023] S2: Place the universal joint on top of the conveyor belt, with its two end shafts facing the inner walls of the conveyor box. The stepper motor drives one conveyor roller to rotate, and the other conveyor roller cooperates with the conveyor belt to drive the universal joint forward until the universal joint moves between the two universal joint fixing adjustment mechanisms. The universal joint is monitored by two sensors, and the stepper motor stops working.
[0024] S3: Four horizontal electric push rods push the two rectangular blocks closer to each other, and the rectangular blocks drive the corresponding two arc-shaped clamping plates close to the position of the universal joint until the two arc-shaped clamping plates move to the outside of the end of the universal joint. Two cylinders push the corresponding two clamping rods and the two arc-shaped clamping plates closer to each other, which can clamp and fix the universal joint. It can adapt to the fixation of universal joints of different sizes.
[0025] S4: Two vertical electric push rods push the rectangular block upward through the support plate, and the rectangular block drives the universal joint upward through two arc-shaped clamping plates. Since the universal joint fixing and adjustment mechanism is symmetrically arranged, the two ends of the universal joint can be clamped and fixed and pushed upward to make the universal joint leave the conveyor belt;
[0026] S5: The intelligent pressure valve is working, and the inert gas enters the plasma spray gun through the gas delivery pipe and the inert gas inlet pipe, and the gas pressure is automatically controlled. The particle delivery pump works to deliver particles through the particle delivery pipe and the particle inlet pipe into the plasma spray gun. The particles are sprayed on the surface of the universal shaft under the action of the inert gas pressure to protect the metal surface. The reciprocating linear motor drives the clamping block to perform reciprocating linear motion. The clamping block drives the plasma spray gun to reciprocate horizontally, spraying plasma evenly on the universal shaft. When the plasma spray gun moves, it drives the particle inlet pipe and the inert gas inlet pipe to move between the two strip holes;
[0027] S6: Two servo motors drive two reciprocating screws to rotate. The two reciprocating screws drive the column to rotate through the cooperation of the sliding ball rod and the long sliding ball groove. The column drives the universal shaft to rotate 360 degrees through the sealing plate, the fixing box and the two arc splints. The universal shaft can be fully sprayed with plasma. At the same time, the arc plate ensures that the arc plate and the sealing plate rotate relative to each other through the annular groove through the cooperation of the slider and the slide groove, and the arc plate will not rotate. The arc plate can only move horizontally forward and backward through the cooperation of the slider and the slide groove. Due to the reciprocating screw Rotation causes the round rod to slide in the reciprocating screw groove through the ball bearing, causing the round rod to be squeezed. The round rod is fixedly connected to the arc plate, causing the arc plate to push the sealing plate and the fixed box to reciprocate back and forth, so that the fixed box drives the universal joint through the two arc clamping plates. It can not only rotate, but also bend continuously and change the angle, so that the joint position of the universal joint can be sprayed with plasma, further improving the metal protection effect. After the plasma spraying of the universal joint is completed, the fixation of the universal joint is released, and the two universal joint fixing adjustment mechanisms are reset;
[0028] S7: The conveyor belt continues to transport the universal joint shaft, and then it is discharged through the guide box.
[0029] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0030] 1. Four horizontal electric push rods push the two rectangular blocks closer to each other. The rectangular blocks drive the corresponding two arc-shaped splints close to the position of the universal joint until the two arc-shaped splints move to the outside of the end of the universal joint. The two cylinders push the corresponding two clamping rods and the two arc-shaped splints close to each other, which can clamp and fix the universal joint and can adapt to the fixation of universal joints of different sizes.
[0031] 2. The intelligent pressure valve works, and the inert gas enters the plasma spray gun through the gas delivery pipe and the inert gas inlet pipe, and the air pressure is automatically controlled. The particle delivery pump works to deliver particles through the particle delivery pipe and the particle inlet pipe into the plasma spray gun. The particles are sprayed on the surface of the universal shaft under the action of the inert gas pressure to protect the metal surface. The reciprocating linear motor drives the block to perform reciprocating linear motion, and the block drives the plasma spray gun to reciprocate horizontally, spraying plasma evenly on the universal shaft. When the plasma spray gun moves, it drives the particle inlet pipe and the inert gas inlet pipe to move in the two strip holes. Using inert gas spraying can reduce the degree of particle oxidation.
[0032] 3. Two servo motors drive two reciprocating screws to rotate. The two reciprocating screws drive the column rod to rotate through the cooperation of the sliding ball rod and the long sliding ball groove. The column rod drives the universal shaft to rotate 360° through the sealing plate, the fixing box, and the two arc-shaped splints, and the universal shaft can be fully sprayed with plasma.
[0033] 4. Due to the cooperation of the slider and the slide groove of the arc plate, the arc plate and the sealing plate rotate relative to each other through the annular groove, and the arc plate does not rotate. The arc plate can only move horizontally back and forth through the cooperation of the slider and the slide groove. Due to the rotation of the reciprocating screw, the round rod slides in the reciprocating screw groove through the ball bearing, so that the round rod is squeezed. The round rod and the arc plate are fixedly connected, so that the arc plate pushes the sealing plate and the fixed box to move back and forth, so that the fixed box drives the universal shaft through the two arc splints. It can not only rotate, but also bend continuously and change the angle, so that the joint position of the universal shaft can be sprayed with plasma, further improving the metal protection effect.
[0034] In summary, the present invention can adapt to the fixation of universal joints of different sizes by adjusting the position of the arc plate. It can not only control the universal joint to rotate 360° to achieve comprehensive plasma spraying, but also can bend continuously and change the angle, so that the joint position of the universal joint can spray plasma, further improving the metal protection effect.

The other conveyor roller 21 cooperates with the conveyor belt 22 to drive the universal joint forward until the universal joint moves between the two universal joint fixing adjustment mechanisms 3. The universal joint is monitored by two sensors 44, and the stepper motor 24 stops working.
[0075] S3: The four horizontal electric push rods 51 push the two rectangular blocks 31 closer to each other. The rectangular blocks 31 drive the corresponding two arc-shaped clamping plates 32 closer to the position of the universal joint until the two arc-shaped clamping plates 32 move to the outside of the end of the universal joint. The two cylinders 322 push the corresponding two clamping rods 321 and the two arc-shaped clamping plates 32 closer to each other, thereby clamping and fixing the universal joint. This can adapt to fixing universal joints of different sizes.
[0076] S4: Two vertical electric push rods 52 push the rectangular block 31 upward through the support plate 5. The rectangular block 31 drives the universal joint upward through the two arc-shaped clamping plates 32. Since the universal joint fixing and adjusting mechanism 3 is symmetrically arranged, the two ends of the universal joint can be clamped and fixed and pushed upward, so that the universal joint leaves the conveyor belt 22.
[0077] S5: The intelligent pressure valve 431 operates, and the inert gas enters the plasma spray gun 45 through the gas delivery pipe 432 and the inert gas inlet pipe 452, and the gas pressure is automatically controlled. The particle delivery pump 422 operates to deliver particles through the particle delivery pipe 432 and the particle inlet pipe 451 into the plasma spray gun 45. Under the action of the inert gas pressure, the particles are sprayed on the surface of the universal shaft to protect the metal surface. The reciprocating linear motor 46 drives the clamping block 47 to perform reciprocating linear motion. The clamping block 47 drives the plasma spray gun 45 to reciprocate horizontally, spraying plasma evenly on the universal shaft. When the plasma spray gun 45 moves, it drives the particle inlet pipe 451 and the inert gas inlet pipe 452 to move in the two strip holes 411;
[0078] S6: Two servo motors 34 drive two reciprocating screws 35 to rotate, and the two reciprocating screws 35 drive the column 36 to rotate through the cooperation of the sliding ball rod 352 and the elongated sliding ball groove 362. The column 36 drives the universal shaft to rotate 360 degrees through the sealing plate 37, the fixed box 33, and the two arc-shaped clamping plates 32, and the universal shaft can be fully sprayed with plasma. At the same time, since the arc plate 38 cooperates with the slider 381 and the slide groove 312 to ensure that the arc plate 38 and the sealing plate 37 rotate relative to each other through the annular groove 371, and the arc plate 38 will not rotate, the arc plate 38 can only move horizontally forward and backward through the cooperation of the slider 381 and the slide groove 312. Due to the rotation of the reciprocating screw 35, the round rod 383 slides in the reciprocating screw groove 351 through the ball 384, so that the round rod 383 is squeezed. The round rod 383 is fixedly connected to the arc plate 38, so that the arc plate 38 pushes the sealing plate 37 and the fixed box 33 to reciprocate back and forth, so that the fixed box 33 drives the universal shaft through the two arc clamping plates 32. It can not only rotate, but also bend continuously and change the angle, so that the joint position of the universal shaft can be sprayed with plasma, further improving the metal protection effect. After the plasma spraying of the universal shaft is completed, the fixation of the universal shaft is released, and the two universal shaft fixing adjustment mechanisms 3 are reset;
[0079] S7: The conveyor belt 22 continues to convey the universal joint shaft, and then guides it out through the guide box 12.
[0080] While embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, and that the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.

6. A method for using a plasma spray protection device for a metal universal shaft, applied to the plasma spray protection device according to claim 5, characterized in that: The following steps are involved: S1: Before use, turn on the power supply and computer controller; S2: Place the universal joint on top of the conveyor belt (22), with the two end shafts of the universal joint facing the inner walls of the conveyor box (1). The stepper motor (24) drives one conveyor roller (21) to rotate. Through the cooperation of the other conveyor roller (21), the conveyor belt (22) drives the universal joint to move forward until the universal joint moves between the two universal joint fixing adjustment mechanisms (3). The universal joint is monitored by two sensors (44), and the stepper motor (24) stops working. S3: Four lateral electric push rods (51) push the two rectangular blocks (31) closer to each other, and the rectangular blocks (31) drive the corresponding two arc-shaped clamping plates (32) closer to the position of the universal shaft until the two arc-shaped clamping plates (32) move to the outside of the end of the universal shaft, and the two cylinders (322) push the corresponding two clamping rods (321) and the two arc-shaped clamping plates (32) closer to each other, so that the universal shaft can be clamped and fixed, which can adapt to the fixing of universal shafts of different sizes; S4: Two vertical electric push rods (52) push the rectangular block (31) upward through the support plate (5), and the rectangular block (31) drives the universal joint to move upward through the two arc-shaped clamping plates (32). Since the universal joint fixing and adjusting mechanism (3) is symmetrically arranged, the two ends of the universal joint can be clamped and fixed and pushed upward, so that the universal joint leaves the conveyor belt (22); S5: The intelligent pressure valve (431) works, and the inert gas enters the plasma spray gun (45) through the gas delivery pipe (432) and the inert gas inlet pipe (452), and the gas pressure is automatically controlled. The particle delivery pump (422) works to deliver particles through the particle delivery pipe (423) and the particle inlet pipe (451) into the plasma spray gun (45). The particles are sprayed on the surface of the universal shaft under the action of the gas pressure of the inert gas to protect the metal surface. The reciprocating linear motor (46) drives the block (47) to perform reciprocating linear motion. The block (47) drives the plasma spray gun (45) to reciprocate laterally, and plasma is evenly sprayed on the universal shaft. When the plasma spray gun (45) moves, it drives the particle inlet pipe (451) and the inert gas inlet pipe (452) to move in the two strip holes (411); S6: Two servo motors (34) drive two reciprocating screws (35) to rotate, and the two reciprocating screws (35) drive the column rod (36) to rotate through the cooperation of the ball rod (352) and the long ball groove (362). The column rod (36) drives the universal shaft to rotate 360 degrees through the sealing plate (37), the fixed box (33), and the two arc-shaped clamping plates (32), and the universal shaft can be fully sprayed with plasma. At the same time, since the arc plate (38) ensures that the arc plate (38) and the sealing plate (37) rotate relative to each other through the annular groove (371) through the cooperation of the slider (381) and the slide groove (312), and the arc plate (38) does not rotate, the arc plate (38) can only rotate relative to the sealing plate (37) through the cooperation of the slider (381) and the slide groove (312). The circular rod (383) is moved horizontally forward and backward. Due to the rotation of the reciprocating screw (35), the circular rod (383) slides in the reciprocating screw groove (351) through the ball (384), so that the circular rod (383) is squeezed. The circular rod (383) is fixedly connected to the arc plate (38), so that the arc plate (38) pushes the sealing plate (37) and the fixed box (33) to reciprocate forward and backward, so that the fixed box (33) drives the universal shaft through the two arc clamping plates (32) to not only rotate but also bend continuously and change the angle, so that the joint position of the universal shaft can be sprayed with plasma, further improving the metal protection effect. After the plasma spraying of the universal shaft is completed, the fixation of the universal shaft is released, and the two universal shaft fixing adjustment mechanisms (3) are reset; S7: The conveyor belt (22) continues to convey the universal joint shaft, and then it is discharged through the guide box (12).
