Apparently, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Next, refer to Figures 1-3 to understand the subsequent embodiments

[0024] In the first embodiment, a metal part moisture vacuum drying device is disclosed, including: a part fixing turntable 110 and a vacuum cover 120 that are connected to form a first chamber 100; wherein, the vacuum cover 120 is disposed on the part fixing turntable 110, and the vacuum cover 120 and the part fixing turntable 110 form the first cavity, and the first cavity is a closed chamber.

[0025] This example can be understood in combination with Figure 1 the sorting structure shown. In this example, the first chamber 100 becomes a vacuum cavity after being evacuated, actually forming a low-pressure environment. In this low-pressure environment, moisture rapidly volatilizes from the surface of the metal part, thereby realizing the drying of the metal part.

[0026] On the disc surface of the part fixing turntable 110, there is a part fixing portion 150, and the part fixing portion 150 is located in the first cavity. The part fixing turntable 110 is externally connected with a vacuum extraction pipe 130, and the vacuum extraction pipe 130 is connected to the closed chamber; a main pipe 140 also extends below the part fixing turntable 110, and the other end of the vacuum extraction pipe 130 is connected to the main pipe 140; the main pipe 140 is rotatably connected to a vacuum suction device 200, the suction section of the vacuum suction device 200 is connected to the main pipe 140, and the connection part between the suction section of the vacuum suction device 200 and the main pipe 140 is a sealed structure. In this metal part moisture vacuum drying device, by connecting the vacuum suction device 200 to the main pipe 140 and the vacuum extraction pipe 130 to the closed chamber, in this example, the area where each vacuum extraction pipe 130 is connected to the first cavity is the second through hole 112, forming a closed system. When the vacuum suction device 200 is started, it extracts air and moisture from the closed chamber through the main pipe 140, causing the pressure in the closed chamber to gradually decrease. In a low-pressure environment, moisture rapidly volatilizes from the surface of the metal part, achieving the drying of the metal part.

[0027] In this example, the rotation of the part fixing turntable 110 drives the part to be dried to rotate, and combined with centrifugal force and suction vacuum, the drying function of the part to be dried is realized. Specifically, when the part fixing turntable 110 starts to rotate, the part to be dried rotates together. During the rotation process, under the action of centrifugal force, the moisture on the surface of the part to be dried is rapidly dispersed to the surroundings.

[0028] It can be understood that the device in this embodiment combines the rotation function of the part fixing turntable 110, and uses centrifugal force to rapidly disperse the moisture on the surface of the part to be dried to the surroundings. This method can distribute moisture more evenly, improving the drying efficiency and speed. Through the closed system connecting the vacuum suction device 200 to the main pipe 140 and the vacuum extraction pipe 130 to the closed chamber, a closed environment is formed. Compared with the simple vacuum suction method, this closed system can more effectively control the environmental pressure, ensure that moisture volatilizes more rapidly in a low-pressure environment, thereby accelerating the drying process. Moreover, the device in this embodiment enables the part to be dried to rotate along with the rotation of the part fixing turntable 110, thus achieving more comprehensive coverage during the drying process and ensuring that every part of the metal part surface can be effectively dried.

[0029] Second embodiment, based on the foregoing embodiment, combined with Figure 2 the internal structure shown. The part fixing portion 150 is a cylinder 151 extending from the disc surface of the part fixing turntable 110, and any side of the cylinder 151 has a flange body 152. In Figure 2In the structure shown, the column 151 is a cylinder 151, and the flange 152 is a rectangular strip structure extending from the side wall of the cylinder 151.

[0030] In this example, the part to be dried has at least one pore; the integral structure formed by the column 151 and the flange 152 is riveted to the pore of the part to be dried. For example, when the part to be dried is a gear, it usually has a shaft hole for installation in a mechanical device. Before the operation of the device, the operator places the gear to be dried on the part fixing turntable 110. Subsequently, the part fixing turntable 110 starts to rotate, rotating the gear to be dried together. At this time, the integral structure formed by the shaft hole of the gear to be dried and the part fixing portion 150 of the part fixing turntable 110 fits perfectly. Specifically, the shaft hole of the gear to be dried coincides with the column 151 part and the flange 152 part of the part fixing portion 150, forming a tight connection. The rectangular strip structure of the flange 152 will be in close contact with the wall surface of the shaft hole of the gear, ensuring the stability of the connection, ensuring that the part to be dried can be fixed during the drying process, and making the drying effect more uniform and effective.

[0031] Combined with the description of the foregoing embodiments, when the part to be dried is placed on the part fixing turntable 110, the integral structure formed by it and the part fixing portion 150 can ensure a tight connection between the part and the turntable. The column 151 part of the part fixing portion 150 coincides with the pore of the part (such as the shaft hole of the gear), forming a stable support structure. The design of the flange 152 further strengthens the stability of the connection. The flange 152 is in close contact with the wall surface of the pore of the part, forming additional fixation, effectively preventing the part from shaking and displacing during rotation. Therefore, the part to be dried can be firmly fixed on the part fixing turntable 110 and remain stable even at high speeds. In this way, whether under the action of centrifugal force or during drying in a vacuum environment, the part to be dried can always maintain a relatively static state with the part fixing turntable 110, thus ensuring the drying process.

[0032] Continue to refer to Figure 1It is understood that a heater 121 is provided around the outer wall of the vacuum chamber 120 in this example. In this example, the heater 121 is a number of infrared heaters 121 arranged around the outside of the outer wall of the vacuum chamber 120. In this embodiment, the heater 121 heats the vacuum chamber 120. In a vacuum state, water will evaporate rapidly when heated because, in a low-pressure environment, the boiling point of water decreases, making it easier for water molecules to change from the liquid state to the gaseous state. When the heater 121 applies heat to the vacuum chamber 120, the temperature inside the vacuum chamber 120 rises, causing the moisture attached to the surface of the metal part to start heating up and turn into water vapor. Since the first chamber 100 is in a vacuum state, water vapor cannot exist under high pressure, so it will immediately evaporate into a gaseous state. Then, the vacuum pump 200 extracts the gas containing water vapor from the first chamber through the main pipe 140, causing the pressure inside the first chamber 100 to continue to drop, promoting more water molecules to volatilize from the surface of the metal part into the chamber. In this way, through the synergistic effect of heating and vacuum pumping, moisture can be quickly and effectively volatilized from the surface of the metal part and extracted from the first chamber, thus achieving the drying of the metal part.

[0033] During the working process of the device in this embodiment, in addition to the effects of heating and vacuum pumping, liquid centrifugal force also plays a key role. The metal part to be dried is fixed on the part fixing turntable 110 and rotates with it. When the part fixing turntable 110 starts to rotate, the metal part to be dried also rotates accordingly. During the rotation process, under the action of centrifugal force, the moisture attached to the surface of the metal part is quickly thrown to the inner wall of the first chamber.

[0034] The action of this liquid centrifugal force enables the moisture to be evenly dispersed on the inner wall of the chamber, increasing the surface area of contact between the moisture and the vacuum environment, thereby accelerating the evaporation rate of the moisture. Subsequently, the heater 121 applies heat to the vacuum chamber 120, causing the moisture to quickly heat up and turn into water vapor. In a low-pressure environment, the water vapor will quickly evaporate into a gaseous state and then be extracted from the first chamber by the vacuum pump 200 through the main pipe 140.

[0035] Therefore, by using liquid centrifugal force to throw the moisture to the inner wall of the first chamber and combining the effects of heating and vacuum pumping, the moisture can be quickly and efficiently volatilized from the surface of the metal part. This working principle improves the drying speed and ensures that every part of the surface of the metal part can be fully dried.

[0036] In some specific examples, the connection part between the suction section of the vacuum pump 200 and the main pipe 140 is a pair of rotary sealing disks. Before use, the cover can be removed from the part fixing turntable 110. After fixing the part, the cover is set on the part fixing disk. After evacuating the vacuum, the sealing disks form a seal for the connection area.

[0037] Third Embodiment. Based on the foregoing embodiments, the structure in this example can be further understood with reference to Figure 3 The upper surface of the part fixing turntable 110 is provided with a first groove 111, and the edge of the cover body of the vacuum cover 120 has a first protrusion 122. The first protrusion 122 is fitted and fixed with the first groove 111. Among them, at least one of the first groove 111 and the first protrusion 122 is wrapped with a rubber ring (not shown in the figure), and the rubber ring forms an interference fit structure with the first groove 111 and the first protrusion 122. When the vacuum cover 120 is installed on the part fixing turntable 110, the first protrusion 122 will be embedded in the first groove 111 to form a locking connection. And, the rubber ring is wrapped between the first groove 111 and the first protrusion 122 to form an interference fit structure. This design enables the rubber ring to fill the tiny gap between the groove and the protrusion, forming a tighter seal. The elasticity and sealing performance of the rubber ring can effectively prevent gas from leaking from the connection part and maintain the stability of the vacuum environment inside the first chamber 100.

[0038] Fourth Embodiment. Based on the foregoing embodiments, continue to understand with reference to Figure 1 the structure shown. The device in this example further includes a driver. A pulley 310 is wound around the driver 300 and the part fixing turntable 110. The driver 300 can be an electric driver 300 or a pneumatic driver 300. In the case of the electric driver 300, the driver 300 is composed of an electric motor and a transmission device. The electric motor serves as a power source, and the rotational motion is transmitted to the output disk 320 through the transmission device, thereby driving the part fixing turntable 110 to rotate. The device rotates the part fixing turntable 110 through the output disk 320. A pulley 310 is wound around the output disk 320, and the pulley 310 on the output disk 320 is connected to the pulley 310 on the part fixing turntable 110. When the driver 300 is started, the pulley 310 on the output disk 320 rotates, thereby driving the part fixing turntable 110 to rotate, so that the parts to be dried also rotate accordingly. In this way, through the action of the driver 300, the parts to be dried can remain in a relatively stationary state during the drying process, ensuring the drying effect.

[0039] In Figure 3In the illustrated example, the connection between the vacuum extraction pipe 130 and the part fixing turntable 110 is a rigid bent pipe 210. The bent pipe 210 is arranged around the part fixing turntable 110, and the pulley 310 is wound around the bent pipe 210. In this device, the transmission process is achieved by the driver 300. The driver 300 can be an electric driver 300 or a pneumatic driver 300, and its function is to transmit the rotational motion to the output disk 320, thereby driving the part fixing turntable 110 to rotate. Specifically, in the case of the electric driver 300, the electric motor serves as the power source, and the rotational motion is transmitted to the output disk 320 through the transmission device, and then drives the part fixing turntable 110 to rotate. The pulley 310 wound on the output disk 320 is connected to the pulley 310 on the part fixing turntable 110. When the driver 300 is started, the pulley 310 on the output disk 320 rotates, thereby driving the part fixing turntable 110 to rotate, so that the parts to be dried also rotate accordingly. During the drying process, the metal parts to be dried are fixed on the part fixing turntable 110 and rotate with it. When the part fixing turntable 110 starts to rotate, the metal parts to be dried also rotate accordingly. During the rotation process, under the action of the centrifugal force, the moisture attached to the surface of the metal parts is quickly thrown to the inner wall of the first cavity.

[0040] The fifth embodiment, based on the foregoing embodiments, continues to refer to Figure 2 In the structure shown, the starting end of the main pipe 140 is located below the part fixing turntable 110. A first through hole 160 is provided at the center of the part fixing turntable 110. After passing through the first through hole 160, the main pipe 140 extends above the vacuum hood 120. The vacuum extraction pipe 130 is connected to the side wall of the main pipe 140, and then connected to the part fixing turntable 110 through a hose, so as to suck the first cavity.

[0041] Combined with Figures 1-2 For understanding, a control panel 141 is provided at the top of the main pipe 140. In this example, the control panel 141 can control the degree of vacuum extraction. In some examples, the driver 300 is also provided with a second control panel 141 for controlling the rotation speed of the driver 300 and whether to start the driver 300.

[0042] 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 described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements on some of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
