[0030] Example
[0031] Please refer to Figures 1-4 This embodiment provides an automatic rust removal device for pipes, which includes: a support 1; a rust removal mechanism, the rust removal mechanism including a feeding component 2 disposed on the support 1 and a rust removal component disposed on the support 1, wherein the feeding component 2 is used to transport the pipe to be rusted to the working end of the rust removal component, the rust removal component includes a gantry frame 3, a guide rail 4, a slide block 5 and a grinding element 6, the gantry frame 3 is disposed on the support 1, the guide rail 4 is disposed on the gantry frame 3, the slide block 5 is slidably disposed on the guide rail 4, the grinding element 6 is disposed on the slide block 5, the output end of the grinding element 6 abuts against the outer surface of the pipe to be rusted, and the grinding element 6 can move circumferentially around the pipe to be rusted.
[0032] In this embodiment, the bracket 1 is used to install the feeding component 2 and the rust removal component of the rust removal mechanism, so as to facilitate the coordinated operation of the feeding component 2 and the rust removal component and ensure the rust removal effect of the pipe.
[0033] In this embodiment, the feeding component 2 is used to transport the raw pipe material to be derusted to the derusting component. The derusting component is used to grind the damaged and rusted parts of the pipe's outer wall. Grinding can also remove oxides, dirt, and other impurities from the pipe surface, forming a denser and more uniform protective film. This protective film can isolate the pipe from direct contact with the external environment, thereby enhancing its corrosion resistance and extending its service life.
[0034] Specifically, the gantry 3 is used to hoist the guide rail 4, slide 5, and grinding element 6, facilitating the cooperation between the guide rail 4 and slide 5. This allows the grinding element 6 to move around the outer side of the pipe wall to be cleaned, thereby polishing and removing rust from the outer wall of the pipe. The guide rail 4 supports the sliding of the slide 5. Both the guide rail 4 and the slide 5 are semi-circular structures. By sliding the slide 5 on the guide rail 4, the rust-removing element on the slide 5 can move circumferentially around the outer wall of the pipe to be cleaned, thereby performing circumferential grinding on the annular pipe material. This facilitates automated grinding and improves the accuracy and effectiveness of rust removal.
[0035] It should be noted that both the guide rail 4 and the slide block 5 are arc-shaped structures. The guide rail 4 is fixed on the gantry frame 3, and the slide block 5 slides freely back and forth along the installation direction of the guide rail 4, thereby driving the rust removal parts installed on the slide block 5 to move around the pipe to be rusted, thereby performing circumferential grinding to ensure consistent grinding thickness.
[0036] Please refer to Figure 4 In some embodiments of this example, the grinding element 6 includes a grinding wheel 601, a first drive motor 602, and a mounting platform 603. The mounting platform 603 is disposed on the slide 5, the first drive motor 602 is disposed on the mounting platform 603, and the grinding wheel 601 is disposed on the first drive motor 602. The grinding wheel 601 can abut against the outer wall of the pipe to be derusted.
[0037] In this embodiment, the aforementioned grinding element 6 is used to smooth the defects and rust spots on the outer wall of the pipe to be derusted, forming a denser and more uniform protective film. Specifically, the aforementioned grinding wheel 601, through high-speed rotation, generates friction with the surface of the element, thereby removing defects such as rust, oxide layer, deposits, burrs, and roughness. During the grinding process, the grinding wheel 601 can process the element according to a predetermined size and shape, ensuring that the accuracy and shape of the element meet the design requirements. The aforementioned first drive motor 602 is the core component of the grinding system, providing the necessary power to drive the grinding wheel 601 or other grinding tools to rotate at high speed, thereby achieving friction and grinding with the surface of the element.
[0038] Preferably, the first drive motor 602 is a servo motor. A servo motor can control its speed by adjusting parameters such as current and voltage, thereby adapting to the processing requirements of different materials and components. This speed control capability is crucial for achieving precise grinding results and ensuring processing quality.
[0039] In this embodiment, the mounting platform 603 is used to mount the first drive motor 602, so that the position of the first drive component can be adjusted by adjusting the mounting platform 603.
[0040] Please refer to Figure 2 In some embodiments of this example, the guide rail 4 is provided with a power mechanism for driving the slide 5 to move. The power mechanism includes a plurality of transmission components 7, a transmission chain 8, and a second drive motor 9. The plurality of transmission components 7 are spaced apart on the guide rail 4. Each transmission component 7 includes a support 701 and a transmission gear 702. The support 701 is provided on the guide rail 4, and the transmission gear 702 is rotatably provided on the support 701. The slide 5 is provided with a driven gear 14 that meshes with the transmission gear 702. The second drive motor 9 is provided at the end of the guide rail 4, and the output end of the second drive motor 9 is connected to the transmission component 7 located at the end.
[0041] In this embodiment, the aforementioned power mechanism provides kinetic energy for the movement of the slide block 5, thereby driving the rust removal component to move freely around the outer wall of the pipe to be rusted. Specifically, there are three transmission components 7, evenly spaced on the guide rail 4, used to clamp the slide block 5 on the guide rail 4. By driving the second drive motor 9 to move, the second drive motor 9 drives the rotating component to work, and the transmission components 7 drive the transmission chain 8 to transmit kinetic energy to the other end of the guide rail 4. Thus, all three transmission components 7 have the ability to actively drive the slide block 5 to move, thereby ensuring the circumferential movement of the slide block 5.
[0042] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 In some embodiments of this example, the mounting platform 603 and the slide 5 are connected by an adjustment mechanism. The adjustment mechanism includes an adjustment seat 10 and an adjustment screw 11. The adjustment seat 10 is fixed on the slide 5. The adjustment seat 10 has a groove for accommodating the mounting platform 603. The mounting platform 603 is slidably disposed in the groove. The adjustment screw 11 passes through the adjustment seat 10 and the mounting platform 603. The mounting platform 603 and the adjustment seat 10 are threadedly connected.
[0043] In this embodiment, the aforementioned adjustment mechanism is used to adjust the distance between the outer surface of the grinding wheel 601 and the central axis of the arc-shaped guide rail 4, thereby adjusting the grinding depth of the grinding wheel 601, which is convenient for adjustment according to actual work requirements. The aforementioned adjustment seat 10 is used to connect the aforementioned mounting table 603 and the slide 5. The aforementioned adjustment seat 10 has a groove for accommodating the aforementioned mounting table 603. The aforementioned mounting table 603 can reciprocate along the opening direction of the groove under the drive of the adjusting screw 11, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the grinding thickness.
[0044] Please refer to Figure 2 In some embodiments of this example, the adjusting screw 11 is provided with a driving nut 12 at one end of the adjusting seat 10.
[0045] In this embodiment, the drive nut 12 is integrally formed with the adjusting rod. The adjusting screw 11 is driven by tools such as a wrench, thereby adjusting the distance between the grinding wheel 601 and the central axis of the guide rail 4.
[0046] Please refer to Figure 4 In some embodiments of this example, a ranging element 13 is provided at the end of the mounting platform 603 away from the first drive motor 602, and the output end of the ranging element 13 is aligned with the pipe to be derusted.
[0047] In this embodiment, the ranging element 13 is used to measure the distance between the mounting platform 603 and the pipe to be derusted, thereby obtaining accurate grinding thickness and improving the precision of pipe grinding. Specifically, the ranging element 13 is an infrared rangefinder.
[0048] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 In some embodiments of this example, the output end of the rust removal mechanism is provided with a feeding mechanism 15. The feeding mechanism 15 includes a mounting base 1501, a feeding roller 1502 and a third drive motor 1503. The mounting base 1501 is disposed on the bracket 1, the feeding roller 1502 is rotatably disposed on the bracket 1, and the third drive motor 1503 is mounted on the mounting base 1501, and the output end of the third drive motor 1503 is connected to the feeding roller 1502.
[0049] In this embodiment, the feeding mechanism 15 is located at the end of the bracket 1 away from the grinding element 6. The feeding mechanism 15 drives the rust-removed pipe that has been fully output from the loading component 2, facilitating the transport of the processed pipe to the next work station. Specifically, the mounting base 1501 is used to mount the feeding roller 1502 and the third drive motor 1503, and the feeding roller 1502 drives the pipe to be output.
[0050] In use, the pipe to be derusted is conveyed to the derusting mechanism through the feeding component 2. The first drive motor 602 is started and drives the grinding wheel 601. The adjusting screw 11 is rotated by the wrench to adjust the polishing thickness. Then the second drive motor 9 is driven, which drives the grinding element 6 to rotate around the pipe to be derusted. As the pipe continues to enter the derusting mechanism, it is ground and derusted.
[0051] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
