Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of metal surface treatment, and particularly relates to a coverless roller. Background Art
[0002] Phosphating is a chemical surface treatment process that involves contacting a metal surface with a phosphating solution, forming a protective phosphate film that protects the metal from corrosion and prepares the base for subsequent painting. During the phosphating process, the metal workpiece to be treated is fed into a drum. A phosphating solution tank connected to the drum body holds the solution. The drum's rotation causes the workpiece inside to tumble, ensuring uniform contact between the workpiece surface and the solution. Existing drums feature a feed port with a lid. Workers must open the lid to feed the workpiece during feeding and then securely close it during phosphating. After phosphating, the lid must be opened again to remove the workpiece, wasting labor and reducing equipment utilization. This wastes manpower and fails to meet the requirements of automated phosphating production lines. Furthermore, the phosphating solution is toxic, and operators exposed to it during the process of opening the lid can be harmful to their health. Furthermore, the drum's lid is prone to wear and tear over extended use, leading to loose lids and detachment during the phosphating process. The gap between the lid and the feed port can easily trap smaller workpieces, causing quality issues.
[0003] Therefore, the above problems need to be solved urgently. Utility Model Content
[0004] Purpose of the utility model: In order to overcome the above shortcomings, the utility model provides a coverless roller, which abandons the cover of the traditional roller, ensuring that the metal workpiece is always in the roller during the phosphating process. After the phosphating is completed, the metal workpiece can be poured out of the roller only by changing the rotation direction of the roller. It solves the problem that there is a gap between the cover and the feed port, which makes it easy for smaller metal workpieces to be stuck, and the problem that the cover is not tightly closed due to long-term wear. No manual operation is required, and the whole process is automated, which reduces labor costs and improves production efficiency.
[0005] Technical Solution: To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention provides a coverless drum comprising a support and a drum body, the support and drum body being connected in a rolling manner. The drum body comprises a drum body and end caps disposed at each end of the drum body. The end caps are gear-shaped and have gear teeth disposed on their outer peripheries. The support is provided with a drive shaft, which is movably connected to the support shaft and provided with a drive gear. The drive shaft is keyed to the drive gear shaft, and the gear teeth disposed on the outer periphery of the drive gear mesh with gear teeth disposed on the outer peripheries of the end caps. The drum body has a spiral cross-section, and the drum body and the end caps define a cavity, which includes a feed channel and an immersion chamber. Material enters the immersion chamber from the feed channel for immersion. During the phosphating process, a metal workpiece is fed from the feed channel into the immersion chamber, and the drum body enters the phosphating liquid tank. When a motor connected to the drive shaft is activated, the motor drives the drive shaft to rotate, and the drive gear keyed to the drive shaft drives the end caps to rotate, thereby driving the drum body to rotate in the spiral direction of the drum body cross-section. For example, if the drum body cross-section is clockwise, the drum body rotates clockwise; otherwise, it rotates counterclockwise. During the immersion process, the metal workpiece is always turned over in the immersion chamber, and the surface of the metal workpiece is in full contact with the phosphating solution. After the phosphating is completed, the cylinder rotates in the opposite direction. If the cross section of the cylinder is a clockwise spiral, the cylinder rotates counterclockwise, otherwise it rotates in the opposite direction, and the metal workpiece is sent out from the feed channel. The utility model abandons the lid through the spiral cylinder design, avoiding the gap between the lid and the feed port, which makes it easy for smaller metal workpieces to be stuck, and the problem of the lid not closing tightly due to long-term wear. It ensures that the metal workpiece will not fall out during the phosphating process. When the phosphating is completed, the metal workpiece can be poured out of the drum by simply rotating the drum in the opposite direction. No manual operation is required throughout the process, which realizes the automation of the phosphating process, reduces labor costs, improves production efficiency, and protects the life and health of personnel.
[0006] Furthermore, in the aforementioned uncovered drum, the drum body comprises a plurality of long plates, two of which are connected along their long sides, and the plurality of long plates form a spiral fold line. During the drum body's rotation, the spiral fold line can carry the metal workpiece to a higher position than a circular arc, thereby improving the efficiency of metal workpiece turnover, leaching, and phosphating.
[0007] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned uncovered drum, in order to improve the structural strength of the drum body, the drum body includes ribs, which are arranged perpendicular to the long plates. The ribs are spiral-shaped in side view, and the long plates are spirally arranged along the inner wall of the ribs.
[0008] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned uncovered drum, in order to improve the immersion efficiency, the long plate is set to be a punched square plate.
[0009] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned uncovered drum, in order to improve the stability of the bracket, the bracket includes two parallel supporting plates, a pillar arranged between the two supporting plates, and both ends of the pillar are respectively connected to the supporting plates, and the pillar supports the supporting plates.
[0010] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned uncovered drum, pillars are arranged around the drum body, and the pillars are respectively connected to the four corners of the support plate.
[0011] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned uncovered drum, four pillars are provided on the upper side of the drum body, and support plates extend from both ends of the above-mentioned pillars.
[0012] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned uncovered drum, in order to increase the driving force of the driving gear, the number of teeth provided on the driving gear is smaller than the number of teeth provided on the outer periphery of the end cover.
[0013] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned uncovered drum, in order to improve the corrosion resistance of the uncovered drum and increase its service life, the material of the bracket and the drum is set to be 316L stainless steel.
[0014] As can be seen from the above technical solution, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: The coverless drum of the present invention avoids the problem of a gap between the lid and the feed port, which can easily trap small metal workpieces and cause the lid to not close tightly due to long-term wear. It ensures that metal workpieces will not fall out during the phosphating process. When phosphating is completed, the metal workpiece can be poured out of the drum by simply changing the rotation direction of the drum. No manual operation is required throughout the process, thus automating the phosphating process, reducing labor costs, improving production efficiency, and protecting the lives and health of personnel.
