Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of flat angle wire processing, and in particular to a gas protection device for a flat angle wire rolling process. Background Art
[0002] Flat wire, also known as flat wire, flattened wire, flat-angle wire, or ultra-narrow strip, refers to a special-shaped metal wire with a roughly rounded rectangular cross-section. Its thickness ranges from 0.025mm to 2mm, and its width is generally less than 5mm. Its width-to-thickness ratio varies from 2:1 to 50:1. Due to its ribbon-like shape, flat wire is sometimes also called ultra-narrow flat ribbon. Compared to common round wire, this form offers unique advantages in heat dissipation, welding contact area, fatigue resistance, and hardness control.
[0003] During the production process, the flat angle wire needs to be flattened using a calender. After calendering, the flat angle wire will be cooled to shape it. In the existing technology, the cooling process is usually carried out by using a calender roller to drive the flat angle wire into a cooling water pool for cooling. Sometimes the calendered flat angle wire is specifically copper wire, which will react with oxygen in the air at a high temperature to generate copper oxide. This is a chemical reaction process, but the oxide layer produced is relatively small. However, when the copper wire enters the cooling water, the presence of water and oxygen further promotes the oxidation reaction, resulting in a thicker oxide layer formed on the surface of the copper wire. The oxide layer produced will reduce the electrical conductivity of the copper wire because the oxide has a higher resistivity. At the same time, the oxide layer may also reduce its strength and toughness, which requires further improvement. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to reduce the generation of an oxide layer on the outer surface of a copper wire, the present application provides a gas protection device for a flat wire rolling process.
[0005] The present application provides a gas protection device for a flat angle wire rolling process, which adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A gas protection device for a flat wire rolling process comprises a protection tube arranged on a rolling machine, a plug arranged at the upper end of the protection tube, and a gas supply component arranged on the rolling machine for supplying nitrogen or other inert gas into the protection tube. The plug is provided with a first through-hole for copper wire to pass through, and the plug is elastic. The rolling machine comprises a frame, a plurality of rolling rollers rotatably connected to the frame, and a drive component for driving the rolling rollers to rotate; the copper wire is serpentinely wound around the plurality of rolling rollers along the length direction of the frame, the protection tube is arranged on a winding path for the copper wire to be wound around the rolling rollers, the length direction of the protection tube is parallel to the height direction of the copper wire, a cooling water pool is provided on the frame below the protection tube, the water level in the cooling water pool is higher than the height of the protection tube at the lower end face, and a rolling roller for copper wire to be wound is also rotatably connected in the cooling water pool.
[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, a protective tube is provided, and nitrogen or other inert gas is introduced into the protective tube through a gas delivery member. Due to the inherent stability of the inert gas, it is not easy to react with other substances, thereby forming a protective layer on the outside of the copper wire, thereby isolating the copper wire from the water in the cooling water pool to a certain extent, thereby reducing the possibility of an oxide layer being formed on the copper wire when it enters the cooling water pool for cooling. In addition, when the copper wire passes through the plug and enters the protective tube, the inert gas can also have a certain air cooling effect on the temperature of the outer surface of the copper wire.
[0008] Preferably, the plug is provided with a correction member for correcting the axis of the copper wire.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, during the pulling process, due to the metallic properties of the copper wire itself, its hardness is greater than that of the plug. During the process of inserting the plug, the axis between the copper wire and the plug may be rubber, which may wear the plug, thereby increasing the spacing of the first perforations. Since the density of nitrogen itself is relatively low compared to the outside air, it will flow out of the protective tube from the first perforations too much, which may reduce the actual utilization rate of nitrogen and increase the corresponding cost. By providing a correction member to correct the axis of the copper wire, the wear of the plug when inserting it into the first perforation on the plug is reduced.
[0010] Preferably, the correcting part includes a first correcting plate and a second correcting plate respectively arranged on the upper and lower surfaces of the plug, the first correcting plate and the second correcting plate are coaxially arranged, and the first correcting plate and the second correcting plate are both penetrated by a fourth through-hole for the copper wire to pass through, and the fourth through-hole is connected to the first through-hole; a guide surface is arranged around the inner wall of the fourth through-hole near the upper surface of the second correcting plate.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, through the fourth perforation set on the first correcting plate and the second correcting plate, the guide surface set after the two first correcting plates and the second correcting plates are corrected can reduce the wear on the copper wire and also facilitate the insertion of the first correcting plate into the protective tube.
[0012] Preferably, it also includes a fixing seat arranged on the calender to fix the protective tube, the fixing seat includes a fixing block fixedly connected to the calender, a hinged plate hinged to the fixing block, and a fixing part for mounting the hinged plate on the positioning plate, an arc-shaped surface is provided between the surfaces of the fixing block and the hinged plate that are close to each other, and a second through-hole is formed between the fixing block and the hinged plate for the protective tube to pass through.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, a fixing seat is provided, the hinge plate is installed on the fixing block through the fixing piece, and the protective tube is installed on the fixing seat, so as to fix the upper end of the protective tube.
[0014] Preferably, the fixing member includes two mounting blocks respectively arranged on the fixing block and the hinge plate, a bolt passing through the two mounting blocks, and a nut threadedly connected to the bolt.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, bolts are passed through the two mounting blocks and threadedly connected with nuts to fix the fixing block and the end of the hinged plate away from its own hinge point, so as to fix the protective tube.
[0016] Preferably, elastic pads are provided on surfaces of the fixing block and the hinge plate that are close to each other.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the elastic pad is used to reduce the possibility of the rigid contact of the fixed block and the hinged plate on the protective tube to wear the protective tube, and the gap between the protective tube and the fixed block and the hinged block can be filled. When the fixing part is fixed, the elastic pad is squeezed to increase the friction between the protective tube and the protective tube, thereby improving the fixing effect of the protective tube.
[0018] Preferably, it further comprises a positioning plate arranged at the pool mouth of the cooling water pool, wherein the positioning plate is penetrated by a third through-hole for the protection tube to pass through, and an elastic ring is wound around the inner peripheral wall of the positioning plate.
[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the positioning plate is provided to cooperate with the fixing seat to improve the protection effect of the protection tube, and the elastic ring is provided mainly to reduce the wear on the outer peripheral wall of the protection tube.
[0020] Preferably, the protective tube includes, from top to bottom, a first tube, a second tube fixedly connected to the first tube, and a third tube fixedly connected to the second tube. The first tube and the third tube are both transparent glass tubes. The second tube is made of silicone. A connecting tube is fixedly penetrated through the outer peripheral wall of the second tube. The gas transmission component includes an air intake pipe slidably inserted into the connecting tube, and the air intake pipe is fixedly penetrated through the calender.
[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the first tube and the second tube are set as glass tubes to check the threading of the copper wire, and the second tube is set as silicone to connect with the air intake pipe. Since the protective tube is fixed by the fixing seat and the positioning plate, the possibility of leakage between the air intake pipe and the connecting pipe is relatively small.
[0022] In summary, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0023] A protective tube is provided, and nitrogen is introduced into the tube through a gas delivery component. Due to the inherent stability of nitrogen, it is not easily reacted with other substances, thus forming a protective layer on the copper wire. This has a certain effect of isolating the copper wire from the air when entering the cooling water tank, thereby reducing the possibility of the copper wire forming an oxide layer when entering the cooling water tank. In addition, when the copper wire passes through the plug and enters the protective tube, the nitrogen also has a certain air cooling effect on the temperature of the copper wire's outer surface.
