Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of plasma spraying technology, specifically to a plasma spraying device that can precisely control the coating thickness. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, in industrial production, spraying technology is frequently used to form a protective layer on the surface of a substrate in order to improve the corrosion resistance and wear resistance of products. Plasma spraying, as a highly efficient thermal spraying technology, can achieve molten spraying of various materials such as metals and ceramics due to its high-temperature characteristics, and is widely used in industries such as aerospace and automotive manufacturing.

[0003] A prior patent (publication number: CN214400680U) discloses a plasma spraying device, including a spraying device body. The spraying device body includes an upward-opening spray box, a nozzle located inside the spray box, and a plasma spray gun. A matching cover is provided at the opening of the spray box, and support rods are provided at the bottom corners of the spray box. The nozzle is connected to the cover via a pipe. Mounting holes are provided on the side wall of the spray box, and the plasma spray gun is fixed to the inner side wall of the spray box through a through-hole. A through-hole allowing a base plate to pass through is provided at the center of the bottom wall of the spray box. The thickness of the base plate is greater than the thickness of the bottom wall of the spray box. The top surface of the base plate is used to place implants, and the bottom surface of the base plate is connected to the output end of a stepper motor. The bottom end of the stepper motor is fixed to the top surface of a height adjustment device. This invention effectively improves spraying efficiency, eliminates the need for frequent workpiece movement, reduces the risk of internal dust diffusion, and minimizes pollution to the external environment and harm to workers.

[0004] The aforementioned comparative documents demonstrate that a stepper motor can be used to rotate the workpiece on the base plate, thereby accelerating the spraying speed of the workpiece, greatly reducing the frequency of workpiece movement, and improving spraying efficiency. However, the plasma spraying equipment in the aforementioned patents is difficult to achieve precise control of coating thickness, resulting in unstable product quality and low production efficiency. In addition, the spray head in the aforementioned patents cannot be quickly replaced, making it inconvenient to flexibly select the appropriate nozzle diameter according to different materials and process requirements, and making it difficult to meet the diversified needs of the market.

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this application provides a plasma spraying device that can precisely control coating thickness, which has advantages such as easy and quick nozzle replacement and improved control accuracy of coating thickness, thus solving the problems.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: a plasma spraying device capable of precisely controlling coating thickness, comprising a spraying device body, a support plate fixedly connected to the upper surface of the spraying device body, a spraying chamber fixedly connected to the upper surface of the support plate, a servo motor fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the spraying chamber, bearings fixedly embedded in the inner top wall and inner bottom wall of the spraying chamber, a threaded shaft fixedly connected to the inner rings of the two bearings, the top end of the threaded shaft fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor, a threaded sleeve threadedly connected to the outer surface of the threaded shaft, a limit groove formed in the inner wall of the spraying chamber, a limit block slidably connected inside the limit groove, the front of the limit block fixedly connected to the back of the threaded sleeve, a mounting frame fixedly connected to the front of the threaded sleeve, a plasma spray gun fixedly mounted on the front of the mounting frame, a threaded cylinder fixedly connected to the front of the plasma spray gun, a nozzle threadedly connected to the outer surface of the threaded cylinder, a symmetrical laser rangefinder fixedly connected to the front of the mounting frame, and a controller fixedly connected to the front of the spraying device body.

This measure effectively reduces errors caused by human negligence, thereby significantly improving the quality and consistency of the final product. Furthermore, the threaded connection structure formed by the threaded cylinder and the spray head enables quick replacement of different spray heads. This design greatly expands the equipment's applicability and meets diverse market demands. To further enhance equipment performance, key components such as servo motors, bearings, threaded shafts, and threaded sleeves are designed for efficient operation while also achieving effective cost control, making it particularly suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and research institutions.

[0008] Furthermore, the front of the spraying chamber is hinged with two sealed doors, each of which has an observation window on its front, and the inner wall of each observation window is fixedly connected with glass.

[0014] Furthermore, a sealing gasket is fitted on the outer surface of the threaded cylinder, and the sealing gasket is located in front of the plasma spray gun.

[0015] The above solution, by setting a sealing gasket, can effectively prevent the heat and sparks generated by the plasma spray gun during operation from damaging the threaded cylinder. In addition, the material selection and design of the sealing gasket also take into account the characteristics of high temperature resistance and wear resistance to ensure that a good sealing effect is maintained during long-term use.

[0016] Furthermore, the inner wall of the spraying chamber is provided with an exhaust window, and an exhaust fan is fixedly installed inside the exhaust window by a mounting bracket.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

A support plate 3 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the spraying device body 1. A spraying chamber 4 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the support plate 3. A servo motor 5 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the spraying chamber 4. Bearings 11 are fixedly embedded in the inner top wall and the inner bottom wall of the spraying chamber 4. A threaded shaft 12 is fixedly connected to the inner ring of the two bearings 11. The top end of the threaded shaft 12 is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor 5. A threaded sleeve 8 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the threaded shaft 12. A limit groove 15 is formed in the inner wall of the spraying chamber 4. A limit block 14 is slidably connected inside the limit groove 15. The front of the limit block 14 is fixedly connected to the back of the threaded sleeve 8. A mounting frame 13 is fixedly connected to the front of the threaded sleeve 8. A plasma spray gun 27 is fixedly installed on the front of the mounting frame 13. A threaded cylinder 22 is fixedly connected to the front of the plasma spray gun 27. The outer surface of the spraying equipment 2 is threaded with a nozzle 23. A symmetrical laser rangefinder 25 is fixedly connected to the front of the mounting frame 13. A controller 2 is fixedly connected to the front of the spraying equipment body 1. By setting the laser rangefinder 25, the control accuracy of the coating thickness is significantly improved. This measure effectively reduces the error caused by human operation, thereby significantly improving the quality and consistency of the final product. In addition, by combining the threaded connection structure formed by the threaded cylinder 22 and the nozzle 23, we have realized the function of quickly changing different nozzles 23. This design greatly increases the applicability of the equipment and meets the diversified needs of the market. In order to further improve the performance of the equipment, the cooperation of key components such as servo motor 5, bearing 11, threaded shaft 12 and threaded sleeve 8 is set to ensure that the equipment operates efficiently while also achieving effective cost control, which is particularly suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and research institutions.

[0032] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4The front of the spraying chamber 4 is hinged to two sealed doors 6. Each sealed door 6 has an observation window 7 on its front, and the inner wall of each observation window 7 is fixedly connected to glass. By setting the sealed doors 6, the pollution of the surrounding environment by harmful gases can be reduced. By setting the observation windows 7, the spraying effect can be clearly observed during the spraying process. The bottom surface of the spraying equipment body 1 is fixedly connected to two symmetrical support columns 16. The bottom end of each support column 16 is fixedly connected to a base 17. By setting the support columns 16 and bases 17, the stability of the spraying equipment is significantly improved, which can adapt to the needs of different working environments, making the equipment more stable during operation and reducing the movement or tilting of the equipment caused by vibration or uneven ground. This ensures the accuracy and consistency of the spraying operation. The inner top wall of the spraying chamber 4 is fixedly connected to the mounting base 9, and the bottom surface of the mounting base 9 is fixedly connected to the LED light 10. By setting the mounting base 9 and the LED light 10, the lighting of the spraying operation area can be ensured to be uniform and sufficient, thereby improving the spraying quality and work efficiency. The outer surface of the threaded cylinder 22 is fitted with a sealing gasket 24, which is located in front of the plasma spray gun 27. By setting the sealing gasket 24, the heat and sparks generated by the plasma spray gun 27 during operation can be effectively prevented from damaging the threaded cylinder 22. In addition, the material selection and design of the sealing gasket 24 also take into account the characteristics of high temperature resistance and wear resistance to ensure that a good sealing effect is maintained during long-term use.

[0033] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The inner wall of the spraying chamber 4 is provided with an exhaust window 18. An exhaust fan 19 is fixedly installed inside the exhaust window 18 by a mounting bracket. By setting the exhaust window 18 and the exhaust fan 19, the airflow in the spraying chamber 4 is optimized, thereby effectively controlling the emission of dust and volatile organic compounds generated during the spraying process. A purification pipe 20 is fixedly installed on the back of the spraying chamber 4 by screws. Activated carbon adsorption cotton 21 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the purification pipe 20. The purification pipe 20 is located behind the exhaust window 18. By setting the purification pipe 20 and the activated carbon adsorption cotton 21, harmful gases and particulate matter generated during the spraying process can be effectively filtered out, thereby protecting the health of operators and reducing environmental pollution. Two sets of reinforcing blocks 26 are fixedly connected to the front of the mounting frame 13. The side of each set of reinforcing blocks 26 that is close to each other is fixedly connected to the upper surface and the bottom surface of the laser rangefinder 25, respectively. By setting the reinforcing blocks 26, the stability of the laser rangefinder 25 during operation can be ensured, and measurement errors caused by vibration or external impact can be reduced.

[0034] In this embodiment, the laser rangefinder 25 significantly improves the control accuracy of coating thickness. This measure effectively reduces errors caused by human error, thereby significantly improving the quality and consistency of the final product. In addition, by combining the threaded connection structure formed by the threaded cylinder 22 and the nozzle 23, we realize the function of quickly changing different nozzles 23. This design greatly increases the applicability of the equipment and meets the diversified needs of the market. In order to further improve the performance of the equipment, the cooperation of key components such as servo motor 5, bearing 11, threaded shaft 12 and threaded sleeve 8 is set up to ensure that the equipment operates efficiently while also achieving effective cost control, making it particularly suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and research institutions.

[0035] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:

[0036] During the spraying process, the laser rangefinder 25 monitors the coating thickness in real time. The controller 2 precisely controls the servo motor 5, thereby adjusting the rotation speed of the threaded cylinder 22 and the movement path of the nozzle 23. When the coating thickness reaches the preset value, the controller 2 issues a command to stop or change the movement state of the servo motor 5, ensuring the uniformity and accuracy of the coating thickness. At the same time, the heat generated by the plasma spray gun 27 during operation is effectively isolated and dissipated through the cooperation of the threaded cylinder 22 and the sealing gasket 24, avoiding damage to other parts of the equipment. In addition, by combining the threaded connection structure formed by the threaded cylinder 22 and the nozzle 23, we have achieved the function of quickly changing different nozzles 23. The combination of the exhaust fan 19 and the purification pipe 20 not only ensures the air circulation in the spraying chamber 4, but also reduces the emission of harmful substances through the filtration effect of the activated carbon adsorption cotton 21, protecting the working environment and the health of the operators. The setting of the reinforcing block 26 further enhances the stability of the laser rangefinder 25 and ensures the accuracy of the measurement data, thereby enabling the plasma spraying equipment to complete the spraying of high-quality coatings efficiently and stably.
