The solution process operation mainly relies on manual operation. The specific work process includes manually holding the pipe fittings, extending the pipe fittings into the induction area of the induction coil, staying for a period of time, and then throwing the pipe fittings into the cooling pool. After cooling, the pipe fittings are picked up.
[0004] If workers performing solution treatment operations pick up pipes from the cooling pool, their hands will be wet, which will pose a safety hazard in subsequent operations. Generally, other workers are asked to pick up the pipes, but the operating space is limited, which will affect the workers performing solution treatment operations and pose a safety hazard.
[0005] It should also be noted that some pipe fittings have been processed at both ends and need to be subjected to solid solution reduction, so they need to be taken out of the cooling pool in time.
[0006] In summary, when using old-fashioned high-frequency induction solution treatment equipment for pipe fittings, the discharge problem of the cooling pool needs to be solved urgently. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0031] The technical solution of the utility model is further described in detail below through embodiments and in combination with the accompanying drawings, but the utility model is not limited to the following embodiments.
[0032] Based on the discovery of the inventor of this application when doing solid solution treatment of pipe fittings, enterprises still use old-fashioned high-frequency induction solid solution equipment for solid solution treatment in order to save costs, such as Figure 8 As shown, a bucket is placed under the induction coil as a cooling pool, and the heated pipe fittings are directly thrown into the cooling pool for cooling. To take out the pipe fittings that have completed the solid solution treatment, the operator needs to wade in water. After wading, the water on the hands must be wiped off before continuing the solid solution treatment, otherwise there will be safety hazards, which will affect the progress of the solid solution treatment. In addition, some pipe fittings need to be solution treated at both ends and need to be taken out in time after cooling, so there is an urgent need to solve the problem of taking materials in the cooling pool.
[0033] like Figure 1-7 As shown, in order to solve the above problems, the present embodiment provides a solid solution cooling device, including a cooling pool body and a pushing mechanism, the cooling pool body includes two side plates 11, an end baffle 12 and a frame formed by connecting the bottom plate to each other. For the convenience of observation, the bottom plate is not shown in the figure, the top surface of the frame forms a first opening, and the surface opposite to the end baffle 12 forms a second opening, an inclined second material guide baffle 14 is arranged in the frame to close the second opening, and an inclined first material guide baffle 13 is also arranged in the frame, the first material guide baffle 13 and the second material guide baffle 14 form a V-shaped structure, and the V-shaped structure is combined with the two side plates 11 to form a accommodating space; the lower end of the second material guide baffle 14 extends toward one side of the end baffle 12, and the opening of the V-shaped structure formed by the combination of the first material guide baffle 13 and the second material guide baffle 14 is consistent with the first opening, and the heated pipe enters the accommodating space from the first opening for cooling.
[0034] The pushing mechanism includes a pushing head and a driving unit. The pushing head is placed on the upper surface of the second material guide baffle 14 and is driven by the driving unit to move upward along the surface of the second material guide baffle 14 to push the pipe out of the cooling pool body.
[0035] The initial position of the push head is at the bottom of the V-shaped structure. The pipes fall into the accommodating space and are pushed out by the push head after being accumulated to a certain amount. There are many options for starting the drive unit. One is to start the work at a fixed time interval; the other is to set a switch and control the start by the solution treatment operator.
[0036] Of course, detection measures can also be set up to detect the number of pipes in the cooling pool body and start again after reaching a certain number. This implementation plan only provides a direction based on the inventor's design ideas. Considering that current pipe processing companies are in urgent need of saving costs and improving the performance of old equipment, this plan is too costly and difficult to implement. It can be considered as an idea for the development of new equipment.
[0037] As a preferred solution, the pusher head includes a connecting shaft 22 and sliding blocks 21 arranged at both ends of the connecting shaft 22, and a comb-shaped push rod 23 is arranged on the connecting shaft 22; the comb-shaped push rod 23 is used to push the pipe upward to drain the cooling water;
[0038] The two side plates 11 are connected to the second material guide baffle 14 at a location where a slide groove 15 extending along the surface of the second material guide baffle 14 is provided, and the sliding block 21 is slidably engaged in the slide groove 15. Specifically, the sliding block 21 can be set as a block with a protrusion, and the slide groove 15 is provided with a groove matching the protrusion, which can greatly improve the stability of the entire push head movement.
[0039] As a preferred solution, the pusher head further includes a limit baffle 24, both ends of which are connected to the two sliding blocks 21 respectively, and the limit baffle 24 is staggered with the connecting shaft 22;
[0040] The comb-toothed push rod 23 is rotatably sleeved on the connecting shaft 22, and a torsion spring 25 is provided on the connecting shaft 22. One end of the torsion spring 25 is fixed on the connecting shaft 22, and the other end is fixed on the comb-toothed push rod 23. Under the action of the torsion spring 25, the comb-toothed push rod 23 is tightly attached to the limiting baffle 24, so that the comb-toothed push rod 23 remains in an upright state.
[0041] With regard to the specific use process of the pushing head, there must be a situation where the pipe needs to be returned to the initial position after being pushed out. In this case, the fixed comb-toothed push rod 23 will be blocked by the pipe during the movement when it returns to the initial position, and it is difficult to reset. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the blocking effect of the pipe. Then, consider setting the comb-toothed push rod 23 to be rotatable. The purpose of the staggered setting of the limit baffle 24 and the connecting shaft 22 is to leave enough installation position for the comb-toothed push rod 23 without affecting the rotation of the comb-toothed push rod 23. During the resetting process of the comb-toothed push rod 23, it is pressed by the force applied by the pipe and can be reset well. The next time it is pushed upward, it will have a tendency to return to the upright state under the action of the torsion spring 25, and will gradually reset with the upward movement until it abuts against the limit baffle 24.
[0042] As a preferred solution, a gap for the limit baffle 24 to pass through is provided at the junction of the first material guide baffle 13 and the second material guide baffle 14, and comb teeth 141 offset from the comb-toothed push rod 23 are provided at one end of the first material guide baffle 13 close to the second material guide baffle 14.
[0043] As for the rotatable comb-tooth push rod 23 mentioned above, when it returns to the initial position, it is most likely in a compressed state and needs to move upward for a while before it can return to an upright state. Then, the pipe fitting at the lower end of the V-shaped structure will not be able to be pushed out. Therefore, an area for the comb-tooth push rod 23 to return to an upright state is added below the bottom of the V-shaped structure. This area is separated from the pipe fitting in the V-shaped structure by the comb teeth 141. After reaching this area, the push head is completely separated from the pipe fitting, thereby achieving the purpose of resetting.
[0044] As a preferred solution, the driving unit is a driving motor 28, and the driving motor 28 is connected to the pusher head through a first traction rope 26. A wire wheel is provided on the driving shaft of the driving motor 28, and one end of the first traction rope 26 is connected to the wire wheel, and the other end is connected to the connecting shaft 22;
[0045] A first fixed pulley assembly 27 is disposed at the upper end of the second material guiding baffle 14 , and the first traction rope 26 is sleeved on the first fixed pulley assembly 27 .
[0046] The driving motor 28 can be a reduction motor or a servo motor. According to the design concept of this solution, it is more appropriate to select a servo motor. By controlling the stroke of the servo motor to directly control the movement stroke of the pusher head, the control of the movement of the pusher head can be omitted. The first fixed pulley assembly 27 here directly adopts a commonly used fixed pulley, that is, a fixed pulley is set on a bracket. As a conventional mechanism, it is not described here. In order to better install the first fixed pulley assembly 27 on the second material guide baffle 14, a mounting plate can be connected to the second material guide baffle 14 as shown in the figure, and the bracket can be set on the mounting plate.
[0047] Driving the movement of the push head by the first traction rope 26 can simplify the structure and save costs, but it also brings new problems accordingly. The movement process of the push head is actually the movement of the two sliding blocks 21 in the slide groove 15. In order to ensure the smooth movement of the push head during traction, the first traction rope 26 needs to be set at the midpoint of the horizontal position of the two sliding blocks 21. Even with such a setting, when the push head pushes the pipe upward, due to the force on both sides of the traction rope, or the inconsistency in the number / quality of pushed pipes, it may cause the sliding block 21 to get stuck in the slide groove 15. Therefore, rollers or balls are set on the outside of the sliding block 21 to contact the slide groove 15. This can largely avoid sliding jams.
[0048] As a preferred solution, the solid solution cooling device further comprises a reset component, the reset component comprises a counterweight block 31 and a second traction rope 32, one end of the second traction rope 32 is connected to the limit baffle 24, and the other end passes through the end baffle 12 and is connected to the counterweight block 31;
[0049] The end baffle 12 is provided with a second fixed pulley assembly 33 , and the second traction rope 32 is sleeved on the second fixed pulley assembly 33 .
[0050] It is difficult to reset the pusher head by relying on the gravity of the pusher head itself and the reversal of the drive motor 28 to release the first traction rope 26. However, if other mechanical structures are set here to control the resetting, the cost of the device will be greatly increased, which will lose its meaning for controlling the cost of using old equipment. The simplest way is to reset the pusher head by means of a counterweight block 31. The drive motor 28 is reversed, and the pusher head can be reset under the action of the counterweight block 31. Here, only the force required for the drive motor 28 to drive the pusher head to push the material upward is increased. General servo motors can achieve this effect, and the cost of the power parts is almost not increased.
[0051] As a preferred solution, the solid solution cooling device further includes a time controller, and the time controller is used to control the driving unit.
[0052] The specific control logic is as in the above-mentioned scheme. The driving motor 28 adopts a servo motor, and the servo motor is controlled to rotate forward through a time controller, that is, to complete the pushing process. The servo motor can preset a forward rotation stroke to complete the pushing process, and then reverse, and stop again after reversing to the preset stroke. Automatic discharging can be achieved by this cyclic operation.
[0053] As a preferred solution, a control component is also provided, which includes a controller and a travel switch 271. Two travel switches 271 spaced apart from each other are provided on the bracket of the first fixed pulley assembly 27, and the electric shock signals of the two travel switches 271 are input into the controller. Two trigger nodes 261 are provided on the first traction rope 26, and the positions of the two trigger nodes are set to satisfy the relationship: when the pushing head is pushed to the upper end of the second material guide baffle 14, the first trigger node 261 triggers the upper travel switch 271, and the controller controls the drive motor 28 to reverse after receiving the signal; when the pushing head returns to the bottom of the V-shaped structure, the second trigger node triggers the lower travel switch 271, and the controller controls the drive motor 28 to stop reversing after receiving the signal.
[0054] It should be noted that compared with the use of a time controller to control the drive motor 28, this solution is more expensive and more difficult to implement, requires more structural parts, and will relatively reduce the reliability of the equipment. However, the design idea of this solution is to meet more complex application scenarios. If the entire solution treatment equipment is redesigned, the timed start-up method cannot meet the flexibility requirements of intermittent operations. This solution can be combined with the technical idea of detecting the number of pipes in the V-shaped structure to work together. Only the design idea is given here, and it is not considered as the scope of protection of this application, so it will not be elaborated here.
[0055] Although 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 the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
