Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shot blasting technology for fastener production, specifically to a shot blasting device for fastener production. Background Technology

[0002] The working principle of shot blasting equipment is to use shot blasters to spray shot at high speed, so that the shot has a certain kinetic energy, which can effectively remove oxide layer, burrs, dirt and other impurities from the surface of fasteners. This not only improves the surface smoothness of fasteners, but also enhances their surface adhesion, providing good surface conditions for subsequent coating or plating processes.

[0003] However, in existing shot blasting equipment for fastener production, the shot material generates a large amount of heat due to its high-speed movement and friction with the fastener surface, causing its temperature to rise. During the automatic recovery and continued shot blasting process, the shot material cannot be cooled down, and its temperature will gradually increase. If the shot material temperature is too high, it will lead to changes in its properties, such as a decrease in mechanical properties like hardness and strength, and may even cause corrosion, thus affecting its subsequent use and lifespan. In addition, if the shot material is not handled properly during the heating process, it may also damage the shot blasting equipment or affect the quality and efficiency of the shot blasting process. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a shot blasting device for fastener production, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] This utility model relates to a shot blasting device for fastener production, comprising a shot blasting box and an internal rack, a cooling cylinder located on the right side of the shot blasting box, with its top left side connected to the lower end of the shot blasting box via a feed hopper, and spray nozzles evenly distributed laterally at its upper end to spray water onto the shot after blasting to cool it down and prevent it from overheating, a drying cylinder whose lower end is connected to the right side of the bottom of the cooling cylinder via a feed pipe, a drying fan located on the right side of the shot blasting box with its outlet connected to an air nozzle installed on the side wall of the drying cylinder via an air outlet pipe to dry the shot after water spraying and cooling, removing surface moisture, and a shot blaster installed on the inner left side of the shot blasting box and connected to a shot hopper located above the shot blasting box via a shot conveying pipe, with the upper right side of the shot hopper connected to the upper end of the drying cylinder via a discharge pipe.

[0007] Furthermore, the placement rack is hung on a hook, and a motor-driven hook is provided above the shot blasting box to rotate.

[0008] Furthermore, an auger is horizontally arranged inside the cooling cylinder, and a motor for driving the auger to rotate is provided on the left side of the cooling cylinder.

[0009] Furthermore, a second auger is longitudinally arranged inside the drying cylinder, and a second motor for driving the second auger is arranged above the drying cylinder.

[0010] Furthermore, a drain pipe is connected to the bottom end of the drying cylinder, and a filter screen is installed on the top surface of the bottom plate of the drying cylinder to intercept the shot entering the drying cylinder.

[0011] Furthermore, the air outlet of the air nozzle is equipped with a filter screen to block the pellets.

[0012] Furthermore, an inclined filter plate is provided at the bottom of the shot blasting box to separate the shot and impurities after shot blasting.

[0013] Furthermore, the dust extraction fan has a dust extraction hood on the right end that connects to the bottom of the shot blasting box, and a collection box on the left end for storing the extracted impurities.

[0014] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] This invention uses a nozzle to spray water onto the shot to cool it down, thus reducing the temperature of the shot and preventing its mechanical properties from weakening. This helps to extend the service life of the shot. At the same time, the nozzle cleans the shot, keeping it clean and enabling more effective removal of impurities from the workpiece surface during shot blasting.

[0016] This invention uses a drying fan to dry the shot, removing surface moisture and preventing the formation of a barrier layer that weakens the direct contact and impact force between the shot and fasteners, thereby reducing the effectiveness of shot blasting and making it impossible to completely remove impurities from the shot surface.

[0017] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

[0027] Please see Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model is...

[0028] A shot blasting device for fastener production includes a shot blasting box 1 and a placement rack 2 inside it, a cooling cylinder 5 located on the right side of the shot blasting box 1, with its top left side connected to the lower end of the shot blasting box 1 via a feed hopper 501, and spray nozzles 6 evenly distributed horizontally at its upper end. Water is sprayed through the spray nozzles 6 to cool the shot material after blasting, preventing the shot material temperature from becoming too high. A drying cylinder 9 is connected at its lower end to the right side of the bottom of the cooling cylinder 5 via a feed pipe 901. A drying fan 17 is provided on the right side of the shot blasting box 1, and the air outlet of the drying fan 17 is connected to an air outlet 18 installed on the side wall of the drying cylinder 9 via an air outlet pipe 1701. The drying fan 17 blows air to dry the shot material after water spraying and cooling, removing surface moisture from the shot material. A shot blaster 13 is installed on the left inner wall of the shot blasting box 1 and is connected to a shot material box 12 located above the shot blasting box 1 via a shot conveying pipe 1201. The upper right side of the shot material box 12 is connected to the upper end of the drying cylinder 9 via a discharge pipe 902.

[0029] This embodiment provides a shot blasting device for fastener production. After shot blasting, the heated shot enters a cooling cylinder 5, where water is sprayed onto the shot through a nozzle 6 to cool and clean it. This prevents the shot from overheating and altering its mechanical properties, thus extending its service life. After cleaning, the shot enters a drying cylinder 9, where air generated by a drying fan 17 is blown out through an air outlet 18 to dry the shot. This removes surface moisture, keeping the shot dry and preventing moisture from forming a buffer layer that reduces the impact of the shot and ensures the fastener surface is not properly cleaned.

[0030] The placement rack 2 is hung on the hook 3. The shot blasting box 1 is equipped with a motor 4 above it to drive the hook 3 to rotate. The rotation of the hook 3 by the motor 4 allows the fasteners placed on the hook 3 to be shot blasted by the shot blaster 13 in the front, thereby improving the shot blasting effect.

[0031] The cooling cylinder 5 is equipped with a horizontally placed auger 8. The left side of the cooling cylinder 5 is equipped with a motor 7 that drives the auger 8 to rotate. The motor 7 drives the auger 8 to rotate, transferring the shot from the left end to the right end of the cooling cylinder 5. At the same time, the cooling cylinder 5 is turned over to increase the contact area between the shot and water, ensuring the cooling and rinsing effect of the shot.

[0032] The drying cylinder 9 is equipped with a screw conveyor 11 arranged longitudinally inside, and a motor 10 is arranged above the drying cylinder 9 to drive the screw conveyor 11. The motor 10 drives the screw conveyor 11 to rotate, thereby moving the cleaned pellets upward.

[0033] The bottom end of the drying cylinder 9 is connected to a drain pipe 19. A filter screen is installed on the top surface of the bottom plate of the drying cylinder 9 to intercept the pellets entering the drying cylinder 9. The water sprayed from the nozzle 6 enters the drying cylinder 9 through the feed pipe 901 and leaves through the drain pipe 19. The filter screen intercepts the pellets to prevent them from being washed away by the water flow.

[0034] The air outlet of the air nozzle 18 is equipped with a filter screen to block the pellets and prevent them from entering the air outlet 18.

[0035] The shot blasting box 1 is equipped with an inclined filter plate 20 at the bottom, which is used to separate the shot and impurities after shot blasting. The filter plate 20 separates the freshly shot from the dust and waste generated by shot blasting. The filter plate 20 intercepts the shot, and the shot rolls along the filter plate 20 and finally enters the cooling cylinder 5 through the feed hopper 501.

[0036] The dust extraction fan 15 has a dust extraction hood 14 on its right end, which is connected to the bottom of the shot blasting box 1. The left end has a collection box 16 for storing the extracted impurities. After passing through the filter plate 20, the impurities are sucked into the dust extraction hood 14 under the negative pressure of the dust extraction fan 15 and finally discharged into the collection box 16 for collection, thereby reducing the dust generated during processing.

[0037] Understandably, this invention can spray water to cool the shot, preventing the shot from overheating and causing a decrease in its mechanical properties, allowing the shot to be directly recycled. Secondly, it can dry the cooled shot, preventing the surface moisture from reducing the impact force of the shot and thus reducing the shot blasting quality.

[0038] A specific application of this embodiment is as follows: shot blasting is performed on fasteners placed on the placement rack 2 by the shot blasting machine 13 fed from the shot hopper 12. During the shot blasting process, the placement rack 2 is rotated by the motor 4, so that the fasteners placed in the placement rack 2 can face the shot blasting machine 13 directly for shot blasting. After shot blasting, the shot is filtered by the filter plate 20 and enters the cooling cylinder 5. The nozzle 6 sprays water to cool the shot. If the temperature of the nozzle 6 is too high, it will affect its mechanical strength and improve the service life of the shot. Then the shot enters the drying cylinder 9 from the nozzle 6 and moves upward under the drive of the auger 11. During the movement, the drying fan 17 blows air from the air outlet 18 to dry the shot, remove the surface moisture of the shot, and prevent the moisture from forming a barrier layer on the surface of the shot, which will reduce the shot blasting effect. Finally, the dried shot enters the shot hopper 12 through the discharge pipe 902 to complete the circulating feeding.
