DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0019] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0020] Please refer to Figures 1 - 6 , a soaking mechanism for a hub casting, including a soaking container 1. One end of the soaking container 1 is fixedly installed with a connecting guide plate 2. The connecting guide plate 2 is tightly connected to the soaking container 1 through bolts and nuts, and at the same time, a reinforcing plate is provided to increase the connection strength. The bottom of the top plate of the connecting guide plate 2 is fixedly installed with a sliding groove 3. The sliding groove 3 is located at the bottom of the top plate of the connecting guide plate 2 and is a linear groove with a smooth inner surface to reduce the resistance when the sleeve rod 4 slides. A sleeve rod 4 is slidably installed in the sliding groove 3. The sleeve rod 4 is hollow inside to facilitate the installation of the driving motor 11 and the threaded rod 12. The outside is provided with a guiding block, which cooperates with the sliding groove 3 to achieve smooth sliding. A driving motor 11 is fixedly installed at the top inside the sleeve rod 4. The output end of the driving motor 11 is fixedly installed with a threaded rod 12. A sliding rod 8 is slidably installed inside the sleeve rod 4. The threaded rod 12 is threadedly connected to the sliding rod 8. The bottom of the sliding rod 8 is fixedly installed with a rotating member 9. The rotating member 9 is a component connecting the sliding rod 8 and the placing plate 10, which can move up and down with the sliding rod 8 and allows the placing plate 10 to rotate within a certain range. The bottom of the rotating member 9 is fixedly installed with a placing plate 10. One side of the upper end of the soaking container 1 is penetrated and installed with a water inlet pipe 7. The other side of the bottom of the soaking container 1 is penetrated and installed with a drainage member 6. The drainage member 6 facilitates the rapid discharge of the old water in the soaking container 1, facilitating the replacement of new water or cleaning. A positioning groove 5 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the soaking container 1.

[0021] During use, the driving motor 11 is started through the control panel or remote control to make it start working. The driving motor 11 drives the threaded rod 12 to rotate. Since the threaded rod 12 is threadedly connected to the sliding rod 8, the sliding rod 8 will move along the axial direction of the threaded rod 12, driving the placing plate 10 and the hub casting to smoothly descend into the soaking container 1. During the descent of the hub casting or after reaching the predetermined position, the valve of the water inlet pipe 7 is opened to inject an appropriate amount of water or treatment liquid into the soaking container 1 to ensure that the hub casting is completely soaked. After the soaking time reaches, the hub casting on the placing plate 10 is lifted by the driving motor 11, and the sleeve rod 4 is slid inside it through the sliding groove 3 to move the hub casting on the placing plate 10 to the next working area. The automatic lifting and soaking of the hub casting are realized through the driving motor 11, greatly reducing manual operation and improving work efficiency. The design of the placing plate 10 enables the hub casting to uniformly contact the liquid during the soaking process, ensuring the consistency of the treatment effect. The design of the placing plate 10 enables the hub casting to uniformly contact the liquid during the soaking process, ensuring the consistency of the treatment effect. The soaking container 1 and its connecting components are all made of corrosion-resistant materials, and the structural design is reasonable, facilitating cleaning and maintenance, and extending the service life of the equipment.

[0022] As Figure 5 or Figure 6 shown, the rotating member 9 includes a connecting plate 901 fixedly installed at the bottom of the sliding rod 8, a roller column 902, a rotating plate 903, an adhesive plate 904, and a rotating rod 905. The rotating rod 905 is fixedly installed inside the roller column 902. The rotating rod 905 is rotatably installed with the rotating plate 903. The bottom of the rotating plate 903 is fixedly connected to the top of the adhesive plate 904. The bottom of the adhesive plate 904 is fixedly installed with the placing plate 10. During the above use process, when the driving motor 11 is started, the sliding rod 8 moves up and down with the rotation of the threaded rod 12, driving the connecting plate 901 and the entire rotating member 9 and the placing plate 10 to lift and lower to the designated position in the soaking container 1. The hub casting on the placing plate 10 is moved to the next working area through the sliding rod 8. When the rotating member 9 receives a rotation signal, the rotating rod 905 inside the roller column 902 will drive the rotating plate 903 to rotate around the axis of the rotating rod 905. Since the bottom of the rotating plate 903 is fixedly connected to the adhesive plate 904, and the adhesive plate 904 is fixed to the placing plate 10, the entire placing plate 10 will tilt with the rotation of the rotating plate 903. Through the tilting function of the rotating member 9, the hub casting can be cleaned or processed from multiple angles and in all directions during the soaking process, effectively removing dirt and residues that are difficult to reach, improving the processing effect. The automatic tilting operation reduces the need for manual intervention, saving processing time and labor costs.

[0023] As Figure 2 shown, the drainage member 6 includes a filter screen plate 601 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the soaking container 1, an output pipe 602, and an electromagnetic valve 603. One end of the output pipe 602 is fixedly installed with the filter screen plate 601. The other end of the output pipe 602 is fixedly installed with one end of the electromagnetic valve 603. The other end of the electromagnetic valve 603 is fixedly connected to the collection box. When the water or treatment liquid in the soaking container 1 needs to be drained, an opening signal is sent to the electromagnetic valve 603 through the control system. The electromagnetic valve 603 quickly opens after receiving the signal, allowing the water or treatment liquid to enter the collection box through the filter screen plate 601 and the output pipe 602. During the drainage process, the filter screen plate 601 plays a key role. It can effectively intercept and filter out impurities, particulate matters, etc. in the water, maintaining the cleanliness of the drainage, and at the same time extending the service life of the subsequent processing equipment. Through the filtering function of the filter screen plate 601, impurities and particulate matters in the water are effectively removed, improving the discharged water quality and reducing environmental pollution. The automatic drainage operation reduces the need for manual intervention, improving work efficiency and production capacity.

[0024] As Figure 3 or Figure 4As shown, a leakage hole is provided at the upper end of the placement plate 10. The placement plate 10 has the same internal dimensions as the soaking container 1. During the above use process, the leakage hole design on the placement plate 10 enables water or treatment liquid to penetrate more fully into the surface and interior of the hub casting, achieving all-round cleaning or treatment, thereby improving the treatment effect. During the drainage process, the leakage hole helps to accelerate the outflow speed of water or treatment liquid, shorten the drainage time, and improve work efficiency.

[0025] As Figure 4 shown, a connecting rod 13 is fixedly installed between the sleeve rods 4. The pulley in the sliding groove 3 is slidably connected to the sleeve rod 4. During the above use process, the sliding connection mode between the pulley and the sliding groove 3 reduces friction and resistance, making the lifting of the sleeve rod 4 smoother and more efficient. This helps to shorten the lifting time and improve work efficiency. The sleeve rods 4 are fixedly connected by the connecting rod 13, ensuring their synchronism and stability during the lifting process, helping to maintain the balance and stability of the placement plate 10 and the hub casting, and preventing tilting or shaking during the lifting process.

[0026] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, for those of ordinary skill in the art, it can be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
