Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of metal part processing equipment, and in particular to a highly versatile automatic oil immersion device. Background Art

[0002] The main function of oil immersion of metal parts is to form a protective layer by oil penetration into material pores or surfaces, thereby improving the comprehensive performance of metal parts.

[0003] Oil immersion can endow metal parts with self-lubricating characteristics, especially prominent in porous materials (such as oil-impregnated bearings). After the lubricating oil penetrates into the pores, friction generates heat during operation, causing the oil to expand. The oil in the pores automatically seeps out with temperature changes to form an oil film. This dynamic lubrication mechanism can reduce mechanical wear, especially applicable to components operating at high speeds or starting and stopping frequently (such as automotive bearings), reducing maintenance frequency and extending service life. Currently, the oil immersion of metal parts mainly involves manually placing the products into the oil, and then fishing them out and draining them after a period of time. The above methods have problems such as low efficiency, uneven oil distribution, high labor intensity of operators, and it is difficult to achieve precise oil quantity control, resulting in residual air in some pores or the oil being unable to fully penetrate into the deep structure, affecting the final lubrication and protection effects.

[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art are committed to developing a highly versatile automatic oil immersion device to improve the oil immersion efficiency of metal parts and reduce the labor intensity of operators. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a highly versatile automatic oil immersion device to improve the oil immersion efficiency of metal parts and reduce the labor intensity of operators.

[0006] The technical solution of the present invention to solve the above technical problems is as follows: A highly versatile automatic oil immersion device includes an oil immersion tank having an oil storage cavity; a horizontal movement assembly disposed at the upper end of the oil immersion tank, and a lifting assembly is connected to the mobile end of the horizontal movement assembly; a clamping assembly installed at the mobile end of the lifting assembly; a discharging assembly located on the side wall of the oil immersion tank, and the horizontal movement assembly, the lifting assembly and the discharging assembly are all electrically connected to a control assembly.

[0007] The beneficial effect of adopting the above solution is that through the cooperation of the horizontal movement assembly, the lifting assembly and the discharging assembly, the oil immersion device can realize the automatic oil immersion and discharging of metal parts, without frequent manual operation, reducing the labor intensity of operators; The synergistic effect of the horizontal movement component and the lifting component can quickly move the parts to the oil immersion tank and perform the lifting and oil immersion operation, and the control component is used to control the oil immersion time of different metal parts to improve the oil immersion quality.

[0008] On the basis of the above technical solutions, the present invention can be further improved as follows.

[0009] Further, the horizontal movement component includes a mounting cross beam, a guide rail is mounted on the side wall of the mounting cross beam, a slider cooperating with the guide rail is arranged on the guide rail, the slider is connected to a horizontal movement plate, and the lifting component is mounted on the horizontal movement plate; A first power component is mounted at the end of the mounting cross beam, a rotating lead screw is connected to the output end of the first power component, a lead screw bearing is sleeved outside the rotating lead screw, the lead screw bearing is connected to the horizontal movement plate, and the rotation of the first power component drives the horizontal movement plate to move.

[0010] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further solution is that through the cooperation of the mounting cross beam, the guide rail, the slider and the horizontal movement plate, the stability and accuracy of the horizontal movement are ensured. The first power component drives the rotating lead screw to rotate, and then drives the horizontal movement plate to move, which is used to move the metal parts from the initial position to the oil storage cavity for oil immersion and then to the position of the discharging component.

[0011] Further, the lifting component includes a lifting cylinder, the lifting cylinder is vertically arranged and the lifting cylinder is connected to the moving end of the horizontal movement component through a mounting plate, and the output end of the lifting cylinder is connected to the clamping component.

[0012] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further solution is that the lifting cylinder is used as the power source of the lifting component, with a simple structure and a vertical arrangement, which can be stably connected to the moving end of the horizontal movement component through the mounting plate. The output end of the lifting cylinder is directly connected to the clamping component, which can realize fast and stable lifting actions, facilitate accurately immersing the parts into the oil or lifting them out of the oil, improve the efficiency and reliability of the oil immersion operation, and at the same time reduce the maintenance difficulty of the power component.

[0013] Further, the clamping component includes a clamping plate, the middle of the clamping plate is connected to the output end of the lifting cylinder, and clamping pieces for clamping the material frame are mounted at both ends of the clamping plate.

[0014] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further solution is that the clamping pieces are used to clamp both ends of the material frame, which can ensure the clamping stability, avoid the parts from shaking or shifting during the oil immersion process due to unstable clamping, so as to ensure that the oil can fully penetrate into the pores and surfaces of the parts. Moreover, it can adapt to material frames of different specifications and sizes, improving the versatility and flexibility of the device.

[0015] Furthermore, a guiding device is also provided between the clamping plate and the mounting plate.

[0016] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further solution is that the guiding device can guide the lifting movement of the clamping assembly, preventing the clamping assembly from tilting or shaking during the lifting process.

[0017] Furthermore, the guiding device includes guiding rods installed on the mounting plate. The two ends of the guiding rods are connected by a connecting piece. A guiding block is sleeved outside the guiding rods, and the guiding block is connected to the clamping plate through a connecting rod.

[0018] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further solution is that the guiding block is connected to the clamping plate through a connecting rod, making the guiding more accurate. The clamping plate always maintains a linear motion during the lifting process, effectively avoiding problems such as jamming or wear, improving the reliability and operating efficiency of the device, and reducing the maintenance cost.

[0019] Furthermore, the discharging assembly includes a discharging support. A plurality of rollers are installed on the discharging support at intervals, and the rollers are also connected to a second power assembly.

[0020] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further solution is that the oil-soaked parts are placed on the rollers. The second power assembly drives the rollers to rotate, enabling the parts to be discharged smoothly, improving the discharging efficiency, reducing manual intervention, and lowering the labor intensity. Moreover, the interval setting of the rollers facilitates the oil liquid to flow back and be collected centrally, reducing oil waste.

[0021] Furthermore, a heater and a temperature sensor are installed on the side wall of the oil immersion tank, and the heater and the temperature sensor are electrically connected to the control assembly.

[0022] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further solution is that by installing a heater and a temperature sensor on the side wall of the oil immersion tank and electrically connecting them to the control assembly, the temperature of the oil liquid can be precisely controlled and monitored. The heater can heat the oil liquid to an appropriate temperature, accelerating the penetration speed of the oil liquid and improving the oil immersion efficiency. The temperature sensor real-time feedbacks the oil liquid temperature, and the control assembly automatically adjusts the working state of the heater according to the temperature signal to ensure the stability of the oil liquid temperature, thereby ensuring the consistency of the oil immersion quality, especially suitable for temperature-sensitive metal parts.

[0023] Furthermore, an ultrasonic generator is also installed on the side wall of the oil immersion tank, and the ultrasonic generator is electrically connected to the control assembly.

[0024] The beneficial effects of adopting the above further scheme are as follows: An ultrasonic generator is installed on the side wall of the immersion oil tank and electrically connected to the control component. The cavitation effect of ultrasonic waves can be utilized to enhance the penetration ability of the oil. The high-frequency vibration generated by the ultrasonic generator causes a large number of tiny bubbles to be generated in the oil. When these bubbles burst, they release huge energy, which can break the molecular adsorption force between the oil and the metal surface, promoting the oil to penetrate into the pores and tiny gaps of the components faster and deeper. At the same time, under the action of ultrasonic waves, the oil is refined into individual oil molecules, which are conducive to quickly penetrating into the pores and tiny gaps, further improving the oil immersion effect. Meanwhile, the cleaning effect of ultrasonic waves can also remove impurities on the surface of the components, improving the product quality.

[0025] Further, a vibration device is also installed on the discharge support.

[0026] The beneficial effects of adopting the above further scheme are as follows: The vibration device can vibrate the components during discharging. The vibration causes the excess oil on the surface of the components to quickly drip and flow back into the immersion oil tank, reducing the residue and waste of the oil. At the same time, it helps the oil in the pores of the components to further seep out to form a uniform oil film, improving the surface quality and smoothness of the components. In addition, the vibration device can also prevent the components from sticking or blocking during the discharging process, ensuring the smoothness of discharging. Description of the Drawings

The lifting cylinder 13 is vertically arranged and is connected to the moving end of the horizontal moving assembly 3 through a mounting plate 14. The output end of the lifting cylinder 13 is connected to a clamping assembly 5.

Clamping members 16 for clamping the material frame are installed at both ends of the clamping plate 15. When the horizontal moving assembly 3 moves the clamping members 16 horizontally, the clamping members 16 move horizontally and are inserted into the handling handrails on both sides of the material frame and are snap-connected to the handrails.

[0040] There is also a guiding device between the clamping plate 15 and the mounting plate 14. Specifically, the guiding device includes guiding rods 17 installed on the mounting plate 14. The ends of the two guiding rods 17 are connected through a connecting member 26. A guiding block 18 is sleeved outside the guiding rod 17.

A vibration device 25 is also installed on the discharging support 20.

The oil filter is connected to the oil storage chamber 2 of the immersion oil tank 1 through a pipeline, and is used for circulating and filtering the oil to remove impurities and particulate matters in the oil, maintaining the cleanliness of the oil, extending the service life of the oil, improving the immersion quality.
