Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steel cord production technology, specifically to a protective device for hot water rinsing of steel wire. Background Technology

[0002] During the manufacturing process of steel cord, the steel wires may come into contact with lubricating oil, coolant, or other types of grease. If these substances are not thoroughly removed, they can affect the effectiveness of subsequent plating and coating processes, leading to reduced adhesion, uneven coating, and ultimately impacting product quality and performance. Therefore, hot water rinsing is an important pretreatment step. Its main purpose is to remove oil stains, dust, and other contaminants from the wire surface, thereby improving the quality of subsequent processing and ensuring the reliability and durability of the final product.

[0003] Currently, existing hot water washing and degreasing tanks are semi-open, using steam heat exchange to heat the water, with the water temperature inside the tank not lower than 85℃. During the cleaning of steel wire, a large amount of water vapor is generated, obstructing the operator's vision and increasing operational difficulty and safety hazards. Furthermore, a significant amount of heat is carried away by the water vapor, leading to increased energy consumption and higher production costs. The temperature inside the workshop also rises accordingly, making the working environment stuffy and affecting employee efficiency and comfort. Moreover, the equipment located on both sides of the hot water washing and degreasing tank on the production line consists of vibrating wire brushes and alkaline washing tanks. During the processing of steel wire, some contaminants may enter the semi-open washing tank, causing tank contamination, further reducing cleaning effectiveness, and increasing maintenance frequency and costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a protective device for hot water rinsing of steel wire, which can block the large amount of water vapor generated by hot water rinsing as much as possible, reduce equipment energy consumption, and protect the steel wire from open environment pollution.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a protective device for hot water rinsing of steel wire, comprising a hot water washing and degreasing tank, a support provided on one side of the hot water washing and degreasing tank, a suction hood positioned above the support along the length direction of the hot water washing and degreasing tank, a fixed baffle and a lifting baffle respectively provided on both sides of the suction hood along the length direction, which cooperate with the two long sides of the hot water washing and degreasing tank, and soft curtains respectively provided on both sides of the suction hood along the width direction, which cooperate with the two short sides of the hot water washing and degreasing tank.

[0006] A further improvement of this utility model is that the top of the suction hood is provided with an exhaust port connected to a pipe, and a control valve is provided inside the exhaust port.

[0007] A further improvement of this utility model is that the lifting baffle includes a plate body and a control component for controlling the lifting of the plate body. The control component includes a counterweight located on the side of the fixed baffle away from the plate body and at least two pulleys located on the bracket. The plate body and the counterweight are connected by a steel cable passing around the pulleys and can maintain a natural balance.

[0008] A further improvement of this utility model is that the suction hood has vertically symmetrical guide grooves on one side where the lifting baffle is provided, and the two sides of the plate body cooperate with the two guide grooves. The upper end of the plate body is provided with a limiting block. After the plate body descends to the position, the lower end of the limiting block abuts against the upper end of the guide groove and restricts the plate body from continuing to descend.

[0009] A further improvement of this utility model is that the fixed baffle is provided with a guide barrel with an upper opening on the side away from the lifting baffle, and the counterweight is a columnar body slidably connected in the guide barrel. After the columnar body descends to the position, its lower end abuts against the inner bottom surface of the guide barrel and restricts the plate from continuing to rise.

[0010] A further improvement of this utility model is that the upper end face of the guide groove is located below the upper end face of the plate when the counterweight and the plate are in a natural balanced state, and the bottom surface of the guide barrel is located below the lower end face of the counterweight when the counterweight and the plate are in a natural balanced state.

[0011] A further improvement of this utility model is that the counterweight is provided in two parts, and the total weight of the two counterweights is equal to the weight of the plate.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] This invention features a suction hood installed above the hot water washing and degreasing tank. The suction hood, along with a fixed baffle, lifting plate, and soft curtain, forms a barrier around the tank, effectively isolating the large amount of water vapor generated by the hot water washing process, reducing steam dispersion, lowering equipment energy consumption, and protecting the steel wire from open environmental contamination.

[0014] When the equipment is operating normally, the control air valve can be closed to ensure that the equipment is within a certain temperature range. The control air valve can be opened as needed to start the fan to draw away the steam and quickly discharge the water vapor to the outside through the pipe. When the staff is working on the hot water washing and degreasing tank, the steam is discharged to protect the staff.

[0015] This invention features a lifting baffle that creates an opening on one side of the suction hood, facilitating maintenance and repair of the hot water washing and degreasing tank. The lifting baffle is controlled by a counterweight and steel cable. Utilizing the natural balance between the counterweight and the baffle, lifting the baffle breaks the balance when necessary, causing the counterweight to descend and the baffle to rise, thus enabling workers to operate the hot water washing and degreasing tank and saving energy.

[0020] The present invention will be further explained below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Example

[0021] Combination Figures 1-3 It is known that a protective device for hot water rinsing of steel wire includes a hot water washing and degreasing tank 1. A support 2 is provided on one side of the hot water washing and degreasing tank 1. An air suction hood 3 is mounted on the support 2, positioned above the hot water washing and degreasing tank 1 along its length. Fixed baffles 4 and lifting baffles, respectively, are provided on both sides of the length direction of the air suction hood 3, cooperating with the two long sides of the hot water washing and degreasing tank 1. Soft curtains 5, cooperating with the two short sides of the hot water washing and degreasing tank 1, are provided on both sides of the width direction of the air suction hood 3. The lifting baffles facilitate operation and maintenance. Preferably, the soft curtains 5 are PVC soft curtains, allowing workers to easily observe the operating status of the equipment through the soft curtains.

[0022] Preferably, the bracket 2 includes a bottom bracket for supporting the hot water washing and degreasing tank 1 and a vertical support rod disposed on one side of the bottom bracket. The upper end of the vertical support rod is provided with a horizontal bracket, which is located above the bottom bracket, and the suction hood 3 is installed below the horizontal bracket.

[0023] The top of the suction hood 3 is equipped with an exhaust port 6 connected to a pipe, and a control valve is installed inside the exhaust port 6. A fan at one end of the pipe exhausts the large amount of water vapor generated by the equipment, and the control valve controls the on / off state. When the equipment is operating normally, the control valve can be closed to ensure that the equipment is within a certain temperature range. As needed, the control valve can be opened and the fan can be started to draw away the steam and quickly exhaust the water vapor to the outside through the pipe. When the staff is working on the hot water washing and degreasing tank 1, the steam is exhausted to protect the staff.

[0024] The suction hood 3 is fixed to the bracket 2 by bolts. Preferably, the suction hood 3 is made of PP welding to reduce weight.

[0025] The lifting baffle includes a plate body 7 and a control component for controlling the lifting and lowering of the plate body 7.

[0026] Optionally, the control components include a winch located above the suction hood 3 and at least one pulley 13 located on the support 2. The plate 78 is connected to the output shaft of the winch via a steel cable 9 passing over the pulley 13. Lifting and lowering are stable under motor control.

[0027] Optionally, the control components include a counterweight 8 located on the side of the fixed baffle 4 away from the plate 7 and at least two pulleys 13 located on the support 2. The plate 7 and the counterweight 8 are connected by a steel cable 9 passing over the pulleys 13 and can maintain a natural balance. By using the weights at both ends of the steel cable to achieve natural balance, and breaking this balance to raise or lower the plate 7, energy consumption can be saved.

[0028] The suction hood 3 has vertically symmetrical guide grooves 10 on one side with a lifting baffle. The two sides of the plate 7 cooperate with the two guide grooves 10. A limiting block 11 is provided at the upper end of the plate 7. After the plate 7 descends to its designated position, the lower end of the limiting block 11 abuts against the upper end of the guide groove 10, restricting the plate 7 from further descent. This limits the descent range of the plate 7, preventing excessive descent and improving safety during use.

[0029] A guide barrel 12 with an upper opening is provided on the side of the fixed baffle 4 away from the lifting baffle. The counterweight 8 is a columnar body that is slidably connected inside the guide barrel 12. After the columnar body descends to its position, its lower end abuts against the inner bottom surface of the guide barrel 12, restricting the plate 7 from continuing to rise. This limits the rising range of the plate 7, preventing it from rising excessively and further improving the safety of use.

[0030] The upper end face of the guide groove 10 is located below the upper end face of the plate 7 when the counterweight 8 and the plate 7 are in a natural balanced state, and the bottom surface of the guide barrel 12 is located below the lower end face of the counterweight 8 when the counterweight 8 and the plate 7 are in a natural balanced state.

[0031] Two counterweights 8 are provided, and the total weight of the two counterweights 8 is similar to the weight of the plate 7. Preferably, the total weight of the two counterweights 8 is equal to the weight of the plate 7, which can better achieve balance.

[0032] The working principle of the protective device for hot water washing of steel wire provided by the utility model is as follows: During operation, most of the water vapor generated by the hot water washing and degreasing tank 1 is blocked by the suction hood, fixed baffle, lifting plate, and soft curtain. This effectively isolates the large amount of water vapor generated by hot water washing, reduces steam dispersion, lowers equipment energy consumption, and protects the steel wire from open environment contamination. When maintenance or repair is required inside the hot water washing and degreasing tank 1, the control air valve is opened, the fan is started to suck away the steam, and the water vapor is quickly discharged outdoors through the pipe. Then, the plate is manually lifted. 7. When the plate 7 rises to a certain extent, the counterweight 8 at the other end of the steel cable 9 can drive the plate 7 to rise. At this time, there is no need for manual lifting of the plate 7. The inner bottom surface of the guide barrel 12 can limit the descent range of the counterweight 8, thereby preventing the plate 7 from rising excessively. After maintenance and adjustment are completed, the plate 7 is pulled down. When the plate 7 falls to a certain extent, it can overcome the tension of the counterweight 8 at the other end of the steel cable and fall automatically. At this time, there is no need for manual pulling of the plate 7. The descent range of the plate 7 is limited by the contact between the limiting block 11 at the upper end of the plate 7 and the upper end of the guide groove 10.
