Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of powder feeding racks, in particular to a powder feeding rack for plasma spraying. Background Art
[0002] Plasma spraying technology uses a plasma arc driven by direct current as a heat source to heat materials such as ceramics, alloys and metals to a molten or semi-molten state, and sprays them at high speed onto the pre-treated workpiece surface to form a firmly adhered surface coating. The powder feed rack for plasma spraying is usually fixedly installed on the nozzle. This design allows the powder feed rack to work in conjunction with the spray gun to ensure that the powder is fed into the plasma jet at the correct angle and position, thereby improving the quality of the coating and spraying efficiency.
[0003] For example, Chinese patent CN214811830U discloses a plasma powder feeding rack that is conducive to accelerating the flow rate, which relates to the field of spraying technology. Attached blocks are provided on all four sides of the front edge of the powder feeding piece, and the attached blocks are fixed to the powder feeding piece as a whole. Connecting ports are provided on the outer sides of the attached blocks, and powder spraying ports are provided on the front ends of the attached blocks, and inner nozzles are provided on the inner sides of the attached blocks; connecting pieces are fixed on the inner ends of the powder feeding pipes, and the inner ends of the connecting pieces pass through the outer walls of the connecting sleeve blocks and extend into the powder feeding piece, and the inner ends of the connecting pieces correspond to the inside of the connecting ports respectively, and the connecting pieces are fixedly sleeved with the connecting ports, so that the upper and lower inner nozzles are staggered, and the left and right inner nozzles are also staggered, so that the spray powder released from each other will not conflict with each other, and the flow rate of the spray powder released is accelerated to a certain extent, solving the problem that when multiple powder feeding ports are relatively positioned, the airflow is likely to conflict when feeding powder, which not only fails to increase the flow rate of powder feeding, but also easily hinders the powder feeding work.
[0004] Although the above patent solves the problem that when multiple powder feeding ports are positioned relative to each other, air flows easily conflict during powder feeding, which not only fails to increase the flow rate of powder feeding but also easily hinders the powder feeding work, a certain amount of powder is easily attached to the inner wall of the powder feeding part when conveying powder in this patent, which is more cumbersome to clean and reduces practicality.

[0016] By adopting this technical solution, the powder attached to the left side of the fixed plate can be scraped off by the two second scrapers.
[0017] Furthermore, the opposite sides of the upper and lower nozzles are connected to at least two nozzles.
[0018] By adopting this technical solution, the powder in the upper and lower powder feeding pipes can be transported to the powder feeding cylinder through the upper and lower nozzles.
[0019] Furthermore, the nozzles, which are not less than two in number, are evenly distributed on opposite sides of the upper and lower nozzles.

[0024] The powder feeding rack for plasma spraying can transport powder to the interior of the upper and lower connecting pipes through the upper and lower powder feeding pipes, and then transport it to the interior of the upper and lower nozzles through the upper and lower threaded cylinders. The upper and lower nozzles then distribute the powder. Inside the powder feeding cylinder, the powders on the two pipelines can be evenly mixed through the upper and lower nozzles to improve the spraying effect. When spraying is about to end, the motor can be started to drive the first scraper to scrape off the powder attached to the inner peripheral wall of the powder feeding cylinder. At the same time, when the rotating rod rotates, it drives the upper and lower second scrapers to scrape off the powder attached to the left side of the fixed plate. The scraped powder is transported to the nozzle through the left side of the powder feeding cylinder and then sprayed out, which makes it easy to clean the powder attached to the inner peripheral wall of the powder feeding cylinder and reduce waste.
