Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of steel cord production, in particular to a cleaning device for steel wire drawing. Background Art

[0002] The steel cord drawing process is a crucial step in the production process. Its primary purpose is to reduce the diameter of the metal wire, increase its length, and simultaneously improve its mechanical properties through continuous drawing operations. This continuous drawing process refines the wire's grain size and aligns the orientation of the metal fibers, thereby increasing the wire's strength, hardness, and toughness, enhancing its fatigue resistance and mechanical properties.

[0003] During the drawing process of steel wire, drawing powder is usually used. After the steel wire is treated with drawing powder, the surface will become smoother, which can improve the tensile strength, corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance. This also causes the surface of the steel wire to be stained with drawing powder after drawing. If it is not removed, it will directly affect the electroplating quality of the electroplating process after the drawing process. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the technical problems existing in the steel cord drawing process in the prior art, the first aspect of the present invention proposes a cleaning device for steel cord drawing, comprising:

[0005] A cleaning box is provided at the outlet of the drawing equipment, wherein the cleaning box is provided with a first wire passing groove and a second wire passing groove along the wire drawing direction, and a cleaning structure is provided around the wire passing path in the cleaning box;

[0007] A wire passing component is arranged on the wire outlet side of the wire pressing groove;

[0008] In which, the cleaning structure includes a sheet or block structure composed of synthetic fibers and / or natural fibers. The cleaning structure contacts the surface of the steel wire to scrape off the wire drawing powder attached to the surface of the steel wire. The wire pressing groove is configured to include a release state and a compression state. When the wire pressing groove is in the release state, the steel wire can pass through the wire pressing groove freely. When the wire pressing groove is in the compression state, the steel wire is squeezed by the wire pressing groove and remains fixed.

[0009] Preferably, an inner frame is provided inside the cleaning box, and there is a gap between the two ends of the inner frame along the wire passing direction and the inner wall of the cleaning box. The two ends of the inner frame along the wire passing direction are also provided with a first wire passing groove and a second wire passing groove respectively, forming a first interlayer and a second interlayer between the inner frame and the cleaning box.

[0023] In order to better understand the technical content of the present invention, specific embodiments are given and described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the first aspect of the utility model proposes a cleaning device for wire drawing, including a cleaning box 1, a wire pressing component 2 and a wire passing component 3. The cleaning box 1 is arranged at the outlet of the drawing equipment, and the cleaning box 1 is provided with a first wire passing groove 101 and a second wire passing groove 102 along the wire drawing direction. A cleaning structure is provided around the wire passing path in the cleaning box 1.

[0025] After being drawn, the steel wire passes through the first wire passing groove 101 and the second wire passing groove 102 in sequence with drawing powder adhering to the surface, and the drawing powder adhering to the surface is scraped off by the cleaning structure in the cleaning box 1 .

[0026] The cleaning structure includes a sheet or block structure composed of synthetic fibers and / or natural fibers. The cleaning structure contacts the surface of the steel wire to scrape off the wire drawing powder attached to the surface of the steel wire.

[0027] In this way, most of the wire drawing powder on the surface of the steel wire can be scraped off by this physical scraping method, thereby reducing the impact in the subsequent electroplating process.

[0028] Furthermore, an inner frame 12 is provided inside the cleaning box 1, and there is a gap between the inner frame 12 and the inner wall of the cleaning box 1 at both ends along the wire passing direction. The inner frame 12 is also provided with a first wire passing groove 101 and a second wire passing groove 102 at both ends along the wire passing direction, forming a first interlayer and a second interlayer between the inner frame 12 and the cleaning box 1.

[0029] The first cleaning structure is filled between the first interlayer and the second interlayer, and the second cleaning structure is provided in the inner frame 12 .

[0030] In this way, 95% of the wire drawing powder can be removed by physically scraping the surface of the steel wire through the three-layer cleaning structure.

[0031] In an optional embodiment, the first cleaning structure includes lint balls or cleaning cloths. For example, the lint balls or cleaning cloths are filled in the first interlayer and the second interlayer and surround the steel wire. This filling method ensures that the cleaning structure is closely attached to the surface of the steel wire, thereby achieving a better cleaning effect.

[0032] In an optional embodiment, the second cleaning structure includes velvet balls or velvet blocks, which are arranged on both sides of the steel wire path and spaced apart. In this way, the velvet balls or velvet blocks surrounding the steel wire can effectively scrape off the wire drawing powder on the surface of the steel wire, and the scraped powder can fall to the bottom of the inner frame 12.

[0033] like Figure 3-4 As shown, a collecting hopper 14 is provided at the bottom of the cleaning box 1, and a through hole is provided at the bottom of the inner frame 12, which is connected to the collecting hopper 14. In this way, the wire drawing powder falls from the through hole at the bottom of the inner frame 12 into the collecting hopper 14 and is collected centrally.

[0034] A cover plate 11 is provided on the top of the cleaning box 1. When the steel wire is passed through the line, the cover plate 11 is closed to prevent the scraped wire drawing powder from floating in the air.

[0035] Furthermore, during the wire drawing process, the wire may break due to changes in the drawing speed or stress. Once the wire breaks, the wire will jump, resulting in poor wire winding and arrangement of the I-shaped wheel. Therefore, a wire pressing component 2 is provided at the outlet of the second wire passing groove 102. The wire pressing component 2 includes a wire pressing groove 201. The steel wire passing through the second wire passing groove 102 passes through the wire pressing groove 201. Once the wire breaks, the wire is pressed by the wire pressing component 2 to avoid wire jumping and tangled wires.

[0036] Among them, the wire pressing groove 201 is set to include a release state and a compression state. When the wire pressing groove 201 is in the release state, the steel wire can freely pass through the wire pressing groove 201. When the wire pressing groove 201 is in the compression state, the steel wire is squeezed by the wire pressing groove 201 and remains fixed.

[0037] Optionally, the wire pressing component 2 includes a fixed plate, a movable plate 22 and a cylinder 21. The fixed plate is fixed to the cleaning box 1. A wire pressing groove 201 is formed between the fixed plate and the movable plate 22. The cylinder 21 is used to drive the movable plate 22 closer to or away from the fixed plate, so that the wire pressing groove 201 is in a compressed state or a released state.

[0038] Furthermore, the wire passing component 3 is arranged on the outlet side of the wire pressing groove 201, and the wire passing component 3 includes an L-shaped support plate 31 and a wire passing wheel 32, and the wire passing wheel 32 is connected to the L-shaped support plate 31. The steel wire passing through the second wire passing groove 102 passes through the wire pressing groove 201, and then passes around the wire passing wheel 32 and winds upward.

[0039] In this way, by detecting the rotation of the wire-passing wheel 32, it can be determined whether the wire is broken. Once the wire-passing wheel 32 stops rotating, it means that the wire is broken. At this time, the cylinder 21 pushes the movable plate 22 upward close to the fixed plate, and compresses the steel wire in the wire pressing groove 201 to prevent the free end of the broken wire from moving forward and causing tangled wires.

[0040] In combination with the above embodiments, the utility model provides a cleaning device between the steel wire drawing equipment and the electroplating equipment. The cleaning device includes a box body, which is filled with fiber structures such as velvet balls or cleaning cloths to physically erase the surface of the steel wire. This erasing can scrape off most of the drawing powder on the surface of the steel wire, which can effectively avoid poor electroplating caused by the drawing powder in the next process. In addition, a wire pressing groove is provided on one side of the box body. When the steel wire breaks, the free end of the steel wire can be pressed in time to avoid tangled wires.

[0041] While the present invention has been described above with reference to preferred embodiments, this is not intended to limit the present invention. Persons skilled in the art will readily appreciate that various modifications and variations may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention shall be determined by the claims.
