Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of air knives, in particular to a device for adjusting the angle of an air knife in a zinc pot process section of a galvanizing line. Background Art
[0002] The galvanizing process in the hot-dip galvanizing line is that the strip passes through the immersion roller and reaches the stabilizing roller. After coming out of the stabilizing roller, the thickness of the zinc layer is purged with an air knife. The working principle of the air knife is to purge the zinc liquid adhered to the strip. After the strip leaves the zinc pot, the upward process, part of the zinc liquid adhered to its surface flows back to the zinc pot. The air knife is the core to ensure the quality of the coating. The coating quality is mainly affected by the smoothness of the inner wall of the air knife, the lip shape of the air knife, the gap of the air knife, the position of the air knife, the angle of the air knife, the pressure of the air knife, etc. In the production process, if the angle of the air knife is unreasonable, it is easy to cause problems such as horizontal stripes on the surface of the strip, over-galvanizing of the edge, and air knife marks.
[0003] For example, Chinese patent CN218146896U proposes an air knife installation structure for a galvanizing line, which is installed on one side of the zinc pot outlet of the galvanizing line and includes an air knife. The air knife includes a knife lip for blowing air on the galvanized surface of the steel strip and an air flow input port connected to the air outlet of the fan, wherein the air inlet of the fan is connected to a nitrogen gas supply source; thereby avoiding oxidation between the blowing air flow and the zinc layer.
[0004] However, the above patent is not convenient for adjusting the angle of the air knife. Even if various factors of the air knife are adjusted in place, the uniform air flow is only stable within a very small range from the knife lip. Therefore, in actual production, the air knife angle still needs to be adjusted online.
[0005] Based on this, the utility model designs a device for adjusting the air knife angle of a zinc pot process section of a galvanizing line to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0016] Furthermore, the welding base plate is made of SUS304 stainless steel.
