DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to embodiments.
[0021] Referring to Figure 1-7 , a conveying device for processing metal parts includes a processing box 1. The processing box 1 is a rectangular box body with openings on both sides. One side is the feeding end for adding workpieces after heat treatment, and the other side is the discharging end for discharging cooled workpieces. A conical cover is provided at the top of the processing box 1 for guiding hot air to discharge. A spray rack 12 is movably installed in the processing box 1, and the spray rack 12 can move longitudinally and transversely in the processing box 1.
[0022] Specifically, a limiting groove 101 is provided on the inner wall of the processing box 1. A fixing sleeve 121 is correspondingly provided on the side surface of the spray rack 12. A guide post 122 is slidably installed on the fixing sleeve 121, and the guide post 122 is slidably arranged on the processing box 1 and extends into the limiting groove 101. A limiting member is provided between the guide post 122 and the processing box 1 to prevent the guide post 122 from detaching from the processing box 1. When the spray rack 12 moves transversely, the guide post 122 on the side of the non-inlet / outlet end slides in the limiting groove 101 on the processing box 1, while the guide post 122 on the side of the inlet / outlet end extends into the fixing sleeve 121. Conversely, when the spray rack 12 moves longitudinally, the guide post 122 on the side of the non-inlet / outlet end extends into the fixing sleeve 121, while the guide post 122 on the side of the inlet / outlet end slides in the limiting groove 101 on the processing box 1.
[0023] Furthermore, N groups of limiting grooves 101 are provided on the processing box 1 and are distributed on the four side walls of the processing box 1. The number of fixing sleeves 121 and guide posts 122 corresponds to that of the limiting grooves 101, and N≥4. The specific number of the limiting grooves 101 is specifically set according to the length of the processing box 1. For example, two or three groups are provided on both sides of the non-inlet / outlet end of the processing box 1 to improve the stability of the spray rack 12 during transverse movement. The specific set number depends on the specific situation and is not limited here.
[0024] A fixing ring 13 is provided on the spray rack 12, and an exhaust fan 11 for active exhaust is provided on the top of the processing box 1. A driving source for driving the exhaust fan 11 to rotate is provided on the processing box 1, such as a motor, etc., which is not limited here, as long as it is a power device that can drive the exhaust fan 11 to rotate and exhaust. A cam 14 for toggling the fixing ring 13 is coaxially installed on the exhaust fan 11. Both sides of the long radius of the cam 14 are in contact with the inner wall of the fixing ring 13. When the cam 14 rotates, the fixing ring 13 is toggled to drive the spray rack 12 to move longitudinally and transversely. The fixing sleeve 121 arranged on the side of the spray rack 12 cooperates with the guide column 122 to keep the spray rack 12 stable. A plurality of nozzles are arranged at the bottom of the spray rack 12. The spray direction of the nozzles is toward the workpiece. When the exhaust fan 11 rotates to exhaust, it drives the cam 14 to cyclically turn the fixing ring 13, thereby cyclically adjusting the position of the spray rack 12 in the processing box 1, further preventing the nozzle setting gap from affecting the spraying range of the cooling liquid, and more fully spraying the cooling liquid to the workpiece, so that all parts of the workpiece can be fully in contact with the cooling liquid and cooled.
[0025] On the other hand, a gear ring 141 and a driven gear 142 that are meshed with each other are provided in the cam 14. A driving rod 15 that is coaxially connected to the exhaust fan 11 is rotatably installed on the cam 14, and a driving gear 151 that is meshed with the driven gear 142 is provided on the driving rod 15. The diameter ratio of the driving gear 151 and the driven gear 142 is 1:10. Since the rotation speed of the industrial exhaust fan is 1000-3000 revolutions per minute, in order to prevent the spray rack 12 from swinging too frequently, the gear ring 141, the driven gears 142 and 152 are provided to reduce the swing speed of the spray rack 12 to protect it.
[0026] In the above technical scheme, the workpiece is cooled by spraying cooling liquid onto the workpiece through the spray rack 12, and the hot vapor generated by the cooling is actively discharged through the exhaust fan 11 and recovered and processed by external equipment. While the exhaust fan 11 discharges the gas, the cam 14 is continuously rotated through the cooperation of the driving gear 151, the driven gear 142 and the ring gear 141 to continuously move the fixing ring 13, and cooperate with the fixing sleeve 121, the guide column 122 on the side of the spray rack 12 and the limiting groove 101 on the inner wall of the processing box 1, so as to realize the longitudinal and lateral circulation of the spray rack 12, fully spray the coolant on the workpiece after the heat treatment, prevent the gap between the nozzles from causing insufficient spraying, and cool it quickly to improve the cooling efficiency.
[0027] The conveying assembly 2 includes a fixed sleeve 121 arranged in the processing box 1 and located below the spray rack 12. A plurality of groups of rollers 22 for conveying workpieces are rotatably mounted on the fixed sleeve 121. The workpieces are conveyed from the entry end to the exit end through the cooperation of the plurality of groups of rollers 22.
[0028] Among them, a lever 1211 is provided on the fixed sleeve 121 on one side of the spray rack 12, and a reciprocating plate 16 is slidably installed on the side of the fixed rack 21 close to the lever 1211, the sliding direction of the reciprocating plate 16 is toward the feeding end and the outlet end, a guide plate 161 is provided on the reciprocating plate 16, and a guide groove 1601 is provided on the guide plate 161, and the lever 1211 extends into the guide groove 1601. When the spray rack 12 moves toward the side with the lever 1211, the lever 1211 slides in the guide groove 1601 and drives the reciprocating plate 16 to move horizontally. At this time, the reciprocating plate 16 moves toward the outlet end. When the spray rack 12 moves toward the side away from the lever 1211, the lever 1211 slides in the guide groove 1601 and drives the reciprocating plate 16 to move in the direction. At this time, the reciprocating plate 16 moves toward the feeding end.
[0029] In addition, a ratchet 222 is provided on the side of the roller 22 close to the reciprocating plate 16, and a pawl 162 cooperating with the ratchet 222 is provided on the reciprocating plate 16. A torsion spring is provided between the pawl 162 and the reciprocating plate 16, and the torsion spring is used to always push the pawl 162 against the ratchet 222, and push the ratchet 222 to rotate when the reciprocating plate 16 moves laterally and toward the discharge end, thereby conveying the workpiece on the roller 22; when the reciprocating plate 16 moves laterally and toward the feed end, the reciprocating plate 16 drives the pawl 162 to reset, and at this time, the ratchet 222 will not be pushed to rotate. Therefore, as the reciprocating plate 16 circulates between the feed end and the discharge end, it continuously drives multiple groups of rollers 22 to rotate to convey the workpiece.
[0030] In addition, the roller 22 is provided with a plurality of groups of equidistantly distributed wire brushes 221, and each group of wire brushes 221 is provided with a plurality of wire brushes 221 and distributed in a circular array on the roller 22. When the roller 22 rotates, the wire brushes 221 are moved to realize the movement of the workpiece between adjacent rollers 22. At the same time, the wire brushes 221 on adjacent rollers 22 are staggered to prevent interference between adjacent wire brushes 221. The wire brushes 221 can also be used to clean the workpiece while following the rotation of the roller 22.
[0031] It is worth noting that the lever 1211 is rotatably set on the fixed sleeve 121. When the lever 1211 rotatably set on the fixed sleeve 121 is relatively displaced with the guide plate 161, the sliding friction between the lever 1211 and the guide groove 1601 can be replaced by rotational friction, so as to reduce the overall friction coefficient, reduce wear and improve the smoothness of the structural connection.
[0032] In the above technical scheme, when the spray rack 12 is constantly moved and the spray rack 12 is displaced in the longitudinal direction, that is, when the spray rack 12 is close to the reciprocating plate 16 and away from the reciprocating plate 16, the fixed sleeve 121 will drive the lever 1211 to move and cooperate with the guide plate 161 on the reciprocating plate 16, and at this time, the reciprocating plate 16 will be continuously driven to move horizontally, that is, the reciprocating plate 16 moves back and forth between the feeding end and the discharging end, and the reciprocating reciprocating plate 16 will drive the pawl 162 to continuously move the ratchet 222, thereby realizing the continuous rotation of the roller 22, and the wire brush 221 arranged on the roller 22 cooperates with each other to move the workpiece. Since the carbon element in the fastener material may react with the oxygen in the air at high temperature to form carbon slag, and the residue or impurities in the heat treatment equipment may also react with the surface of the fastener at high temperature to form a slag layer, when the roller 22 rotates, the wire brush 221 can move the fastener while cleaning the slag layer on the surface of the heat-treated workpiece.
[0033] Working principle: first, the spray rack 12 is filled with cooling liquid, and the cooling liquid is sprayed onto the workpiece to cool the workpiece. The hot steam generated by the cooling is actively discharged through the exhaust fan 11, and the hot steam is recovered and processed through external equipment. While the exhaust fan 11 is discharging the gas, the driving gear 151 rotates with the exhaust fan 11 and drives the driven gear 142 and the ring gear 141 to continuously rotate the cam 14. The continuously rotating cam 14 will continuously move the fixing ring 13, and cooperate with the fixing sleeve 121, the guide column 122 on the side of the spray rack 12 and the limiting groove 101 on the inner wall of the processing box 1 to realize the longitudinal and lateral circulation of the spray rack 12, and fully spray the coolant on the workpiece after the heat treatment, so as to prevent the gap between the nozzles from causing insufficient spraying, and quickly cool it to improve the cooling efficiency; during the continuous movement of the spray rack 12, and When the spray rack 12 is displaced longitudinally, that is, when the spray rack 12 is close to the reciprocating plate 16 and away from the reciprocating plate 16, the fixed sleeve 121 will drive the lever 1211 to move and cooperate with the guide plate 161 on the reciprocating plate 16, and at this time, it will continuously reciprocate and drive the reciprocating plate 16 to move horizontally, that is, the reciprocating plate 16 moves back and forth between the feeding end and the discharging end. When the reciprocating plate 16 moves toward the discharging end, it will drive the pawl 162 to push the ratchet 222, thereby driving the roller 22 to rotate. When the reciprocating plate 16 moves toward the feeding end, it will pull the pawl 162 to reset. At this time, the pawl 162 cannot move the ratchet 222. This reciprocating action is used to realize the continuous rotation of the roller 22. The wire brushes 221 arranged on the roller 22 cooperate with each other to move the workpiece. When the roller 22 rotates, the wire brush 221 can move the fastener while cleaning the slag layer on the surface of the heat-treated workpiece.
[0034] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that: they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements on some of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements will not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the protection scope of the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the present invention.
