Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shot blasting machines, specifically to a novel aluminum foam spiral cover. Background Technology

[0002] In shot blasting machines, the spiral cover plate serves as a protective plate for the spiral. A V-shaped plate is generally made by welding two plates together or bending a single plate. Regardless of whether it is welded or bent, the resulting weld seams or creases will reduce the lifespan of the spiral and create potential hazards.

[0003] However, whether it is welding or bending, the resulting weld seam or crease will reduce the service life and create hidden dangers, making it easy to be damaged under the original working conditions. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a novel aluminum foam spiral cover.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a novel aluminum foam spiral cover, the cover comprising a connecting cover plate and a crossbeam plate disposed between the two connecting cover plates; a cavity is also provided between the connecting cover plate and the crossbeam plate; the crossbeam plate has a trapezoidal structure; a middle connecting column and an edge connecting column are provided in the middle and on the left and right sides of the crossbeam plate; high-density buffer material is filled between adjacent middle connecting columns and edge connecting columns.

[0006] Preferably, the high-density cushioning material is aluminum foam.

[0007] Preferably, the outer top of the connecting cover plate is provided with a rounded corner structure.

[0008] Preferably, the cavity is further provided with a replaceable buffer support layer in the middle.

[0009] Preferably, the cavity is further provided with detachable cavity plugs on the left and right sides; the inner wall of the cavity plug is provided with a slot.

[0010] Preferably, a locking block is provided between the cavity and the slot; the locking block and the slot are engaged.

[0011] Preferably, the cavity plug is non-penetrating, and a handle is provided in the middle of the other end face of the cavity plug that is not connected to the card block.

[0012] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By filling the crossbeam plate with high-density aluminum foam material, this utility model can effectively absorb and mitigate the impact force of steel shot, improving the compressive strength and protective performance of the cover. The high density and good buffering properties of aluminum foam can disperse and absorb energy when subjected to external forces, reducing damage to the protected object. The trapezoidal structure of the crossbeam plate makes the overall structure of the cover more stable and better distributes external pressure. The trapezoidal design improves the load-bearing capacity of the cover and reduces the local impact of external forces on the cover. The setting of the middle and side connecting columns further enhances the strength of the connection part, making the fixation between the connecting cover plate and the crossbeam plate more secure.

[0018] To provide a better understanding of the purpose, structure, features, and functions of this utility model, detailed descriptions are provided below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0019] Please refer to the reference. Figures 1 to 4 A novel aluminum foam spiral cover includes a connecting cover plate 1 and a crossbeam plate 2 disposed between the two connecting cover plates 1 on both sides; a cavity 3 is also provided between the connecting cover plate 1 and the crossbeam plate 2; the crossbeam plate 2 has a trapezoidal structure; the middle part and the left and right sides of the crossbeam plate 2 are provided with a middle connecting column 21 and an edge connecting column 22; high-density buffer material 23 is filled between adjacent middle connecting columns 21 and edge connecting columns 22.

[0020] The design of cavity 3 provides the cover with internal partitions and buffer space. This allows the cover to more effectively absorb and disperse the impact of steel shot from the outside, especially against potential impact forces. The cavity creates a soft "buffer zone" inside, which helps reduce the pressure on the cover itself and enhances its impact resistance. The crossbeam plate 2 adopts a trapezoidal structure design, mainly to improve the overall structural strength and stability of the cover. The trapezoidal structure can better disperse external impact forces and avoid excessive local pressure. The middle connecting column 21 and the side connecting column 22 are fixed between the two cover plates 1 through the crossbeam plate 2, forming a strong connection structure. Their function is to ensure a stable connection between the cover plate and the crossbeam plate and prevent structural displacement of the cover under stress.

[0021] The high-density buffer material 23 filling the space between the middle connecting post 21 and the side connecting post 22 plays an important role in buffering and energy absorption. The high-density buffer material can quickly absorb and disperse the impact energy when an external impact occurs, reducing damage to the cover.

[0022] Preferably, the high-density cushioning material 23 is aluminum foam.

[0023] The use of aluminum foam improves the seismic performance of the cover, effectively absorbing vibrations and impacts, and reducing the damage to the crossbeam plate 2 structure caused by steel shot collisions. The advantages of aluminum foam as a cushioning material lie in its high density, light weight, and good cushioning effect, which makes the cover not only have good protective performance but also does not add excessive weight.

[0024] Preferably, the outer top of the connecting cover plate 1 is provided with a rounded corner structure.

[0025] The rounded corner design on the top outer side of the connecting cover plate 1 effectively eliminates sharp edges, preventing damage to external objects during collisions.

[0026] Preferably, the cavity 3 is further provided with a replaceable buffer support layer 31 in the middle.

[0027] The buffer layer 31 can be made of any material and serves as a second layer of protection against steel shot impacting the crossbeam plate 2. Even if the weld or crease between the connecting cover plates 1 is penetrated, the buffer layer 31 can provide a second buffer, minimizing the impact force of the steel shot impacting the crossbeam plate 2; at the same time, the cavity 3 will be filled with impacting steel shot, thus providing a protective effect.

[0028] A cavity 3 is provided between the connecting cover plate 1 and the crossbeam plate 2, giving the cover a more flexible structure that can withstand impacts of varying degrees. Furthermore, a replaceable buffer layer 31 is provided within the cavity 3, allowing the cover to adjust the buffer material as needed under different usage conditions, thereby further enhancing the cover's adaptability and protective effect.

[0029] Preferably, the cavity 3 is further provided with detachable cavity plugs 32 on the left and right sides; the cavity plugs 32 are provided with slots 33 on their inner sidewalls.

[0030] Preferably, a locking block 34 is provided between the cavity 3 and the slot 33; the locking block 34 and the slot 33 are engaged.

[0031] The detachable design of the cavity plug 32 makes the cover more flexible in actual use, allowing for easy adjustment of the cavity filling as needed. If the cover needs to be replaced or cleaned during use, the cavity plug component can be quickly disassembled and replaced. The matching design of the locking block 34 and the locking groove 33 ensures the cavity plug component is firmly fixed, preventing loosening or falling off.

[0032] Preferably, the cavity plug 32 is non-penetrating, and a handle 35 is provided in the middle of the other end face of the cavity plug 32 that is not connected to the card block 34.

[0033] The design of the handle 35 makes the cavity plug 32 easier to install and remove, improving the convenience of use and maintenance.

[0034] This utility model has been described by the above-described embodiments; however, these embodiments are merely examples for implementing this utility model. It must be noted that the disclosed embodiments do not limit the scope of this utility model. Conversely, any modifications and refinements made without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model are within the scope of patent protection of this utility model.
