Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of zinc strip preparation equipment, specifically relating to an electric control and adjustment device for zinc liquid. Background Technology
[0002] Zinc has a wide range of applications in the automotive, construction, electrical equipment, home appliance, and toy industries. It is also a crucial component of dry cell batteries, serving as the negative electrode active material, battery container, and negative electrode lead. It is a key material determining battery storage performance. The zinc canister used to manufacture dry cell battery containers is formed by stamping zinc granules onto raw zinc strips. The production quality of the raw zinc strip directly affects the quality of the finished battery, making quality control paramount. This technology primarily addresses one step in the production process of zinc strips for dry cell batteries.
[0003] In the manufacturing process of zinc strip, zinc ingots are first heated and melted in a furnace. The molten zinc flows through an outlet into a molten zinc tank outside the furnace. One end of the molten zinc tank is connected to the furnace, while the other end directs the molten zinc through a nozzle into a forming wheel to cool and form zinc strip. The formed zinc strip is then demolded for further processing. When the molten zinc is directly introduced into the forming wheel through the nozzle, the flow rate of the zinc from the furnace to the molten zinc tank is constant. Therefore, the thickness of the zinc strip can only be determined by manually controlling the amount of zinc entering the forming wheel using a switch in the molten zinc tank. The disadvantages are: 1. It is difficult to control the uniformity of the zinc strip thickness, resulting in inconsistent thicknesses. 2. The zinc strip is prone to bubbles, inclusions, and impurities, seriously affecting product quality. 3. It involves high labor intensity for workers and makes it difficult to control product quality. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides an electric control and adjustment device for zinc liquid, which solves the problems of difficulty in controlling the thickness and the occurrence of bubbles, inclusions and impurities in the existing zinc strip preparation. This electric control and adjustment device for zinc liquid can quickly regulate the zinc liquid discharge speed, while reducing bubbles, inclusions and impurities.
[0005] This utility model provides an electric control and adjustment device for molten zinc, including a zinc strip forming wheel, a filtering mechanism, a liquid outlet tank, a control rod, an adjusting frame, a lifting screw, a manual rotating wheel, a motor gear, a conversion seat, a screw gear, and a motor. The liquid outlet tank has a liquid outlet nozzle at its bottom. The filtering mechanism includes a liquid hopper with a liquid outlet on its side, facing the outer wall of the zinc strip forming wheel. A filter screen is provided at the liquid outlet. The adjusting frame is located at the top of the liquid outlet tank. The lifting screw is rotatably mounted on the adjusting frame. The bottom of the lifting screw is threadedly connected to the top of the control rod. The control rod is vertically movable within the liquid outlet tank. When the control rod descends, the bottom of the control rod blocks the liquid outlet; when the control rod rises, the liquid outlet is exposed. The manual rotary wheel is located at the top of the lifting screw. The motor is connected to the motor gear, and the screw gear is sleeved on the lifting screw. The motor and the motor gear are located on the conversion seat, which is oscillatingly mounted on the adjusting frame. The conversion seat can switch between a manual control locking position and an electric control locking position. When the conversion seat is in the electric control locking position, the motor gear and the screw gear mesh with each other; when the conversion seat is in the manual control locking position, the motor gear and the screw gear disengage.
[0006] Furthermore, the bottom of the control lever is tapered.
[0007] Furthermore, the top of the control lever is provided with a threaded seat, the top of the threaded seat is provided with a guide shaft, the adjustment frame is provided with a guide hole, and the guide shaft passes through the guide hole.
[0008] Furthermore, the liquid-filling hopper includes a sedimentation section and a liquid outlet section that are horizontally connected in parallel. The depth of the sedimentation section is greater than the depth of the liquid outlet section, and the liquid outlet is located in the liquid outlet section.
[0009] The zinc liquid electric control and adjustment device provided by this utility model eliminates the need for frequent manual switching. The flow rate of the zinc liquid is controlled by the height of a control lever via an electric motor. Electric control is more convenient and faster than manual control, with a quicker response time. Furthermore, the control lever's uniform movement significantly reduces the formation of air bubbles. A liquid-filling hopper is added between the outlet nozzle and the zinc strip forming wheel, improving the stability of the zinc liquid flow. Simultaneously, the zinc liquid in the hopper flows towards the zinc strip forming wheel end, where a filter screen removes inclusions and impurities. Since the hopper stores a certain amount of zinc liquid, the electric control switch's size does not directly affect the thickness of the zinc strip. Therefore, the uniformity of the zinc strip's thickness and the overall product quality are greatly improved. Attached Figure Description

[0014] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, what is described is only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0015] See Figure 1-3As shown, this utility model discloses an electric control and adjustment device for liquid zinc, including a zinc strip forming wheel 6, a filtering mechanism, a liquid outlet tank 4, a control rod 10, an adjusting frame 7, a lifting screw 8, a manual rotating wheel 1, a motor gear 16, a conversion seat 18, a screw gear 17, and a motor 15. The liquid outlet tank 4 has a liquid outlet nozzle 11 at its bottom. The filtering mechanism includes a liquid hopper 12 with a liquid outlet on its side, facing the outer wall of the zinc strip forming wheel 6. A filter screen 5 is provided at the liquid outlet. The adjusting frame 7 is located at the top of the liquid outlet tank 4. The lifting screw 8 is rotatably mounted on the adjusting frame 7. The bottom of the lifting screw 8 is sleeved and threadedly fixed to the top of the control rod 10. The control rod 10 is vertically movable within the liquid outlet tank 4. When the control rod 10 descends, the bottom of the control rod 10 blocks the liquid outlet 11; when the control rod 10 rises, the liquid outlet 11 is exposed. The manual rotating wheel 1 is located at the top of the lifting screw 8. The motor 15 is connected to the motor gear 16, and the screw gear 17 is sleeved on the lifting screw 8. The motor 15 and the motor gear 16 are located on the conversion seat 18, which is rotatably mounted on the adjusting frame 7. The conversion seat 18 can switch between a manual control locking position and an electric control locking position. When the conversion seat 18 is in the electric control locking position, the motor gear and the screw gear 17 are engaged; when the conversion seat 18 is in the manual control locking position, the motor gear and the screw gear 17 are disengaged.
[0016] The bottom of the control lever 10 is tapered.
[0017] The top of the control lever 10 is provided with a threaded seat 9, the top of the threaded seat 9 is provided with a guide shaft 2, the adjustment frame 7 is provided with a guide hole, and the guide shaft 2 passes through the guide hole.
[0018] The liquid hopper 12 includes a sedimentation section 13 and a liquid outlet section 14 that are horizontally connected in parallel. The depth of the sedimentation section 13 is greater than the depth of the liquid outlet section 14, and the liquid outlet is located in the liquid outlet section 14.
[0019] Its working principle is as follows: First, adjust the appropriate position and relative height of the adjusting frame 7, rotate the handwheel (1) to move the control lever 10 downward and contact the liquid outlet 11 to achieve a blocked state, then open the liquid outlet plunger that connects the heating furnace and the liquid outlet tank 4, so that the molten zinc in the furnace can continuously flow into the liquid outlet tank 4. When the zinc liquid in the liquid outlet tank 4 is consistent with the zinc liquid level in the heating furnace canteen, rotate the manual rotating wheel 1 again to move the control lever 10 upward and separate it from the liquid outlet 11 to achieve an open state. At this time, rotate the conversion seat 18 to make the motor gear 16 mesh with the screw gear 17 to realize the conversion from manual to electric control, and then enter the normal working mode. The rotation of motor gear 16 drives screw gear 17, which in turn moves control rod 10 vertically up and down via lifting screw 8. This adjusts the sealing area between control rod 10 and outlet nozzle 11. As control rod 10 rises, the outlet area of outlet nozzle 11 gradually increases, and the flow rate of zinc liquid also gradually increases. Conversely, as control rod 10 falls, the flow rate of zinc liquid decreases. Thus, the flow rate of zinc liquid is controlled by adjusting the height of control rod 10. Zinc liquid flows through outlet nozzle 11 into filling hopper 12. From there, it flows to zinc strip forming wheel 6, where filter screen 5 removes inclusions and impurities generated during zinc sintering. When these inclusions and impurities reach a certain amount, the operator cleans them off with a scraper, allowing purer zinc liquid to flow to zinc strip forming wheel 6. The forming wheel carries the strip of zinc liquid through a cooling device, and the formed zinc strip is then demolded for further processing. This completes the entire zinc strip forming process.
[0020] The advantages of this invention are: 1. It allows for free switching between manual and electric control at any time, making operation more convenient, faster, and more flexible according to actual needs, thus greatly improving production efficiency. 2. After entering the normal working mode, the flow rate of the zinc liquid is changed from traditional manual control to electric control. Electric control has a faster response time than manual control, and the control lever 10 is raised and lowered at a uniform speed to control the flow rate of the zinc liquid, thereby greatly reducing the occurrence of air bubbles and ensuring product quality. 3. A filtration mechanism is added between the liquid outlet 11 and the zinc strip forming wheel 6, making the produced zinc strip purer. Furthermore, the liquid storage hopper 12 stores a certain amount of zinc liquid. The size of the electric control switch does not directly affect the thickness of the zinc strip, thus greatly improving the uniformity of zinc strip thickness and product quality.
[0021] The above description, in conjunction with specific preferred embodiments, provides a further detailed explanation of the present invention. It should not be construed that the specific implementation of the present invention is limited to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art, various simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, and all such modifications and substitutions should be considered within the protection scope of the present invention.
