Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of copper pipe processing, in particular to a continuous small-sized copper pipe annealing device. Background Art

[0002] Small copper pipe fittings such as straight ends, elbows, and tees need to be annealed to eliminate processing stress and improve their performance. Figure 7 As shown, the device includes a resistance furnace and a horizontal conveyor belt that passes through it. During annealing, workpieces such as small copper pipes are laid flat on the conveyor belt. As the conveyor belt slowly moves, the workpieces are heated in the resistance furnace for a period of time, completing the annealing process. However, existing annealing equipment has relatively low annealing efficiency. To improve annealing efficiency, the horizontal conveyor belt must be lengthened, which increases the overall length of the equipment and thus the space required. Furthermore, existing annealing equipment has difficulty controlling the thickness of the workpieces laid on the conveyor belt. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a continuous small copper pipe annealing device, which can lengthen the overall length of segment A through the arch adjustment mechanism, so that more workpieces can be laid when the thickness of the laid workpieces is the same, thereby improving the annealing efficiency without increasing the occupied space.

[0004] The above technical objectives of the present invention are achieved through the following technical solutions: A continuous small copper pipe annealing device includes a housing, a wire mesh conveyor belt, an input pulley, an output pulley, a tensioning pulley, a driving pulley, and a guide pulley. The input pulley and the output pulley are arranged at the same height and are rotatably connected to the front and rear ends of the housing, respectively. The wire mesh conveyor belt is tensioned on the input pulley, the output pulley, the tensioning pulley, the driving pulley, and the guide pulley. The driving pulley is connected to a motor that drives it to rotate. The motor is electrically connected to a control panel. The guide pulley is rotatably connected to the interior of the housing. A camber adjustment mechanism is provided below section A of the wire mesh conveyor belt located between the input pulley and the output pulley. The arch adjustment mechanism includes two groups of adjustment wheels arranged in parallel on the left and right sides, and the adjustment wheels are close to the bottom of segment A; the outer walls of the adjustment wheels are arranged to diverge in a spiral line.

[0005] When the workpiece (small copper pipe) needs to be annealed, the workpiece is laid flat on the wire mesh conveyor belt and flows from the input pulley end to the output pulley end. The wire mesh conveyor belt flows slowly, so that the workpiece on the wire mesh conveyor belt is heated in the box for a period of time, thereby heat treating the workpiece; The arch adjustment mechanism arches segment A upward, thereby increasing the overall length of segment A (i.e., the upper end of the wire mesh conveyor belt between the input and output pulleys). This allows more workpieces to enter the box for heat treatment simultaneously while maintaining the same laying thickness, thereby improving heat treatment efficiency by approximately 4%-8%. Furthermore, as the distance between the outer wall of the adjusting wheel and its rotational center gradually increases, the arch angle can be adjusted to any desired value within a certain range, enabling infinite adjustment.

[0006] The present invention is further configured as follows: each group of adjusting wheels is symmetrically provided with two adjusting wheels in the front and rear, and the two adjusting wheels are fixed on the adjusting shaft; the two ends of the adjusting shaft are rotatably connected to the box body, one end of the adjusting shaft is connected to a synchronous gear, and the two synchronous gears are engaged with a driving gear A, and the driving gear A is fixed on the motor shaft of the servo motor, and the servo motor is fixed on the box body and electrically connected to the control panel.

[0007] When it is necessary to adjust the arch degree of segment A, the control panel is operated to control the rotation of the servo motor, which drives the driving gear A to rotate. The driving gear A drives the two synchronous gears to rotate at the same speed and in the same direction. The synchronous gears drive the corresponding adjusting wheels to rotate through the adjusting shafts. The outer wall of the adjusting wheel is abutted against the bottom of segment A, thereby arching segment A upward. The angle of rotation of the adjusting wheel A can be precisely controlled by the servo motor.

[0008] The present invention is further configured as follows: a plurality of large semicircular grooves are formed on the outer wall of the adjusting wheel, two large semicircular grooves aligned with each other in two adjusting wheels of the same group are sleeved with rollers, and the outer ends of the rollers are arranged higher than the outer walls of the adjusting wheels.

[0009] The bottom surface of the large semicircular groove can axially limit the end of the roller, and the roller can reduce the adjustment resistance when the adjusting wheel rotates, and reduce the conveying resistance between the wire mesh conveyor belt and the adjusting wheel during the conveying of the wire mesh conveyor belt.

[0010] The present invention further provides that: the adjusting wheel is formed with a limit groove, and a limit rod is sleeved in the limit groove. Through the cooperation between the limit rod and the limit groove, the rotation range and the rotation limit position of the adjusting wheel can be limited, and the zero point position of the adjusting wheel can also be calibrated.

[0011] The present invention is further configured as follows: two tensioning wheels are provided at the front and rear and are rotatably connected to the same support shaft, the support shaft is fixed to one end of the slider, the other end of the slider is inserted into the sliding sleeve, an electric telescopic cylinder is fixed to the end of the sliding sleeve away from the tensioning wheel, the telescopic rod end of the electric telescopic cylinder is connected to the slider through a pressure sensor, the sliding sleeve is fixed in the box, and the electric telescopic cylinder and the pressure sensor are both electrically connected to the control panel.

[0012] The pressure sensor can monitor the tension of the wire mesh conveyor belt in real time. When the adjusting wheel is rotated, the tension of the wire mesh conveyor belt changes. The control panel processes the signal of the pressure sensor and drives the telescopic rod of the corresponding electric telescopic cylinder to move, thereby adjusting the position of the slider, and then adjusting the position of the tensioning wheel to transmit the wire mesh conveyor belt.

[0013] The present invention is further configured as follows: an electric heater is provided on the upper portion of the box; A heat circulation fan is provided on the top of the box; the control panel is electrically connected to the electric heater and the heat circulation fan; A baffle is provided below the two sets of regulating wheels, which separates the box into an upper annealing chamber and a lower power chamber.

[0014] The electric heater heats the upper space of the box, so that the workpiece passing through the box can be heated; the heat in the box can be distributed by the heat circulation fan; The baffle can prevent the heat in the upper annealing chamber from entering the lower power chamber, thereby reducing heat loss and improving energy utilization.

[0015] The present invention is further configured as follows: the baffle includes a pair of oblique guide plates, a pair of arc guide plates, a pair of transverse guide plates and a pair of arc baffles that are symmetrically arranged on the left and right.

[0016] The heat can be conducted back to the wire mesh conveyor belt through the inclined guide plate, so that the workpieces on the wire mesh conveyor belt are heated evenly from top to bottom.

[0017] The present invention is further configured as follows: a feed notch and a discharge notch are respectively provided at the front and rear ends of the box body; the input pulley is arranged on the outside of the feed notch, and the output pulley is arranged on the outside of the discharge notch; The upper end of the feed notch is provided with a material laying plate with an adjustable angle; The upper end of the material discharging notch is provided with a material blocking plate with an adjustable angle, and the inner end of the material blocking plate is formed with an arc material guiding folding plate.

[0018] By rotating the paving plate, the distance between the paving plate and segment A and the slope of segment A can be adjusted; by controlling the distance between segment A and the inner end of the paving plate, the thickness of the workpiece laid on segment A can be adjusted to ensure consistent laying thickness; By rotating the material-control plate, the distance between the inner end of the material-control plate and segment A can be adjusted. The smaller the distance between the two, the less likely the workpiece will automatically slide out. At the same time, the material-control plate contacts the workpiece and provides a friction resistance to the workpiece, which can also prevent the workpiece on segment A from sliding out freely. The arc material-guide folding plate can be used to guide the workpiece discharge and prevent the workpiece from entering above the material-control plate.

[0019] The present invention is further configured as follows: the material spreading plate and the material blocking plate are each provided with an angle adjustment device; The angle adjustment device includes a "B"-shaped base and a rotating part, and the base is detachably fixed to the box body by screws; The inner end of the arc portion of the base is formed with a fan-shaped notch, and the upper side wall of the fan-shaped notch is formed with an arc groove; the rotating part includes an arc plate A, an arc plate B, and a connecting plate connecting the arc plates A and B; the arc plate A is inserted into the arc groove, and the arc plate B is abutted against the outer wall of the arc portion of the base; The arc plate A is formed with an arc-shaped rack, which is meshed with a gear. The gear is fixed with a worm wheel via a synchronous shaft, and the worm wheel is meshed with a worm. The end of the worm wheel is formed with a square head, and the square head does not extend outside the base. The synchronous shaft and the worm are rotatably connected in the base. The material spreading plate and the material blocking plate are each integrally formed on the corresponding rotating part; The lower bottom surfaces of the material spreading plate and the material blocking plate are respectively arranged tangent to the arc portion of the corresponding base.

[0020] The square head is rotated by the tool, and the square head drives the worm to rotate, and the worm drives the worm wheel to rotate, and the worm wheel drives the gear to rotate synchronously through the synchronous shaft, and the gear drives the arc rack to rotate, thereby driving the rotating part to rotate, and the rotating part drives the corresponding paving plate or material blocking plate to rotate, thereby adjusting the distance between the end of the paving plate or material blocking plate and segment A.

[0021] The outstanding effects of the present invention are: Compared with the existing technology, the overall length of segment A can be lengthened by the arch adjustment mechanism. When the thickness of the laid workpieces is the same, more workpieces can be laid, thereby improving the annealing efficiency without increasing the occupied space. The distance between the paving plate and segment A can be adjusted by the angle-adjustable paving plate, thereby adjusting the paving thickness of the workpiece and ensuring that the paving thickness of the workpiece is uniform; The material blocking plate can increase the resistance when the workpiece is discharged, and can prevent the workpiece from sliding out freely and quickly.
