Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of recycling device technology, specifically a flux recycling device. Background Technology

[0002] In flux recovery, flux is typically drawn into the device through a pipe using an air pump, and then the metals in the flux are screened, which greatly improves the reusability of the flux. However, existing flux recovery devices have certain problems. A large amount of iron filings are present in the flux, which need to be cleaned in a timely manner. If the cleaning is not timely, it will affect the reusability of the flux.

[0003] To address the aforementioned technical problems, Chinese patent CN101386104B, a submerged arc welding flux recovery device, specifies a magnetic separation hopper installed between the suction hopper and the storage hopper. The magnetic separation hopper contains a magnet device, which adsorbs iron filings from the recovered flux onto the magnet device. While this patent achieves the adsorption and removal of iron filings from the flux using a magnet device, according to the appendix of the aforementioned patent… Figure 2 As shown, due to the strong suction during air extraction, a large amount of iron filings will not be attracted by the magnetic device as the suction increases. Secondly, the patent is laborious in cleaning iron filings and cannot achieve centralized collection, thus presenting certain technical problems.

[0004] Therefore, in order to increase the adsorption capacity for iron filings, thereby significantly reducing the iron filings content in the flux, and also to facilitate the collection of iron filings, a flux recycling device is proposed to solve the technical problems in the prior art.

A cleaning structure is symmetrically installed within the outer shell structure, comprising a discharge cylinder, a mounting plate, an electromagnet, a triangular pyramid, and a second discharge funnel. Circular holes are symmetrically opened on the surface of the outer shell structure. The discharge cylinder is installed on the inner surface of the outer shell structure corresponding to the circular holes. Mounting plates are equidistantly distributed on the outer surface of the discharge cylinder. Electromagnets are installed on the upper surface of the mounting plates. A triangular pyramid and a second discharge funnel are respectively installed on the inner surface of the discharge cylinder. In the initial state, any set of discharge cylinders corresponds to the center of the discharge storage structure.

[0007] Furthermore, the outer shell structure includes a box shell, and a T-shaped plate is provided on the upper surface of the box shell. Circular holes are symmetrically opened on the T-shaped plate. Additionally, an elongated opening is provided on the right side of the box shell. The drive structure is installed on the inner side of the box shell, and its lower material cylinder is installed on the inner surface of the T-shaped plate.

[0008] Furthermore, the drive structure is installed on the inner surface of the housing shell. The drive structure consists of a servo motor and a gear. The servo motor is installed on the surface of the housing shell, and the gear is connected to the output end of the servo motor. The gear passes through the elongated opening and engages with the frame structure.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution, the frame structure includes a frame, an upper crossbar, a lower crossbar, a guide rail, and a long toothed bar; the upper crossbar and the lower crossbar are symmetrically installed on the frame, wherein the guide rail is installed on the inner side of the upper crossbar and on the inner side of any set of lower crossbars, and the long toothed bar is installed on the inner side of the other set of lower crossbars, and the long toothed bar and the gear form a gear connection.

[0010] Furthermore, the flux suction box structure includes a suction box, a first connecting pipe, a suction pipe, a nozzle, and a second connecting pipe; the suction box is installed on the upper end face of the frame, the first connecting pipe is located on the upper end face of the suction box and communicates with the inner cavity of the suction box, the second connecting pipe is located on the left side face of the suction box and communicates with the inner cavity, the suction pipe is installed on the surface of the second connecting pipe, the nozzle is installed at the end of the suction pipe, and the end of the first connecting pipe is connected to the vacuum pump through a pipe.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution, the feeding and storage structure includes a first feeding funnel, a storage box, and a discharger; the first feeding funnel is installed on the lower end face of the suction box and connected to the storage box through a pipe, and a discharger is installed at the lower opening of the storage box, with the lower opening of the discharger corresponding to the upper opening of any set of feeding cylinders.

[0012] Furthermore, an internal baffle is installed inside the inhalation chamber, and a filter screen is installed between the surface of the internal baffle and the inner surface of the inhalation chamber.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution, an extension tube is symmetrically installed on the upper end face of the T-shaped plate.

[0014] Furthermore, a collection box is placed on the inner end face of the frame, and partitions are symmetrically installed on the inner surface of the collection box to divide it into three parts: a left collection chamber, a middle collection chamber, and a right collection chamber.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a flux recycling device, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. This device uses a vacuum pump to draw flux into the suction box, where it falls to the storage box under gravity. Then, it is discharged through a discharge device. The flux enters the discharge cylinder, where an electromagnet magnetizes it, attracting iron filings from the flux to its inner surface. Upon entering the discharge cylinder, the flux first contacts a triangular pyramid and then slides outwards. This downward movement shortens the distance between the flux and the discharge cylinder, further facilitating the attraction of iron filings. The flux then falls into a second discharge hopper, and then into the next triangular pyramid, repeating this process. This device effectively adsorbs iron filings from the flux. After the flux has passed through one set of feeding cylinders for a long time, a drive structure aligns the upper port of the other set of feeding cylinders with the feeding port of the unloader. At this point, the feeding cylinder that has adsorbed more iron filings moves the outer shell of the box to the right or left collection chamber of the collection box via the drive structure. Then, the electromagnet is de-energized, causing the iron filings to fall into the corresponding collection chamber, thus facilitating the collection of iron filings. By repeating the adsorption process several times, the content of iron filings in the flux can be reduced. This solves the problems of existing flux recovery devices, which cannot reduce the content of iron filings in the flux and are not convenient for centralized collection and processing of iron filings.

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0029] Example

[0030] Please see Figure 1-10This utility model provides the following technical solution: a flux recycling device, comprising a frame structure, a flux suction box structure, and a discharge storage structure. The flux suction box structure is installed on the upper end of the frame structure. The discharge storage structure is connected and communicates with the flux suction box structure. A removal structure for facilitating the removal of metal debris is installed below the discharge storage structure within the frame structure. This removal structure includes a shell structure, a drive structure, and a cleaning structure. The drive structure is geared to the frame structure, and the drive structure drives the shell structure to move laterally. Within the shell structure, the metal debris is removed... The device is equipped with a cleaning structure, which includes a feeding cylinder 22, a mounting plate 23, an electromagnet 24, a triangular pyramid 25, and a second feeding funnel 26. Circular holes are symmetrically opened on the surface of the outer shell structure. The feeding cylinder 22 is installed on the inner surface of the outer shell structure corresponding to the circular holes. Mounting plates 23 are equidistantly distributed on the outer surface of the feeding cylinder 22. Electromagnets 24 are installed on the upper surface of the mounting plates 23. The triangular pyramid 25 and the second feeding funnel 26 are respectively installed on the inner surface of the feeding cylinder 22. In the initial state, any set of feeding cylinders 22 corresponds to the center of the feeding and storage structure.

[0031] In this implementation scheme, the specific working principle is as follows: The device uses an air suction machine to draw flux into the box structure, and then the flux falls onto the removal structure through the discharge storage structure. Initially, a set of discharge cylinders 22 corresponds to the discharge port of the discharge storage structure. After the discharge storage structure stores a certain amount of flux, the discharge port opens, allowing the flux to fall into the discharge cylinders 22. At this time, the electromagnet 24 is activated, making the discharge cylinders 22 magnetic. Since the discharge cylinders 22 are made of iron, when the flux falls, it first contacts the surface of the triangular pyramid 25. Then, the flux slides outwards with the inclined surface, bringing it closer to the inner surface of the discharge cylinders 22, making it easier to collect iron filings from the flux. The flux then slides into the second discharge funnel 26, concentrating it in the center before falling back to the lower triangular pyramid 25, where it slides outwards again (see figure for details). Figure 8 , Figure 9 , Figure 10 As can be seen, this solves the problems of existing flux recovery devices, which cannot reduce the content of iron filings in the flux and are inconvenient for centralized collection and processing of iron filings. At this time, during the flux feeding process, the feeding cylinder 22 is located in the middle of the collection box 2. After the feeding cylinder 22 has been adsorbing iron filings for a certain period of time, the outer shell 18 of the box is moved laterally by the drive structure, so that the feeding cylinder 22 that has adsorbed iron filings is located on one side of the collection box 2, so that the feeding cylinder 22 that has not adsorbed iron filings corresponds to the feeding port of the feeding storage structure. The corresponding feeding cylinder 22 electromagnet 24 is activated, and the other set is de-energized, so that the iron filings fall down and are easy to collect.
