Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heat preservation devices, and in particular to a flux heating and heat preservation barrel. Background Technology

[0002] Flux is a substance used in the welding process, primarily to remove oxides from the welding surface, lower the melting point and surface tension of the solder, protect the weld metal from harmful gases in the surrounding atmosphere while it is in a liquid state, and ensure that the liquid filler metal has a suitable flow rate to fill the weld seam. During welding, it covers the welding area to prevent harmful gases such as nitrogen and oxygen from entering the molten pool. After welding, slag covers the weld, slowing down the cooling rate of the weld, improving the crystallization of the weld and the conditions for gas escape, thereby reducing porosity. It also alloys the weld metal, improving its chemical composition and mechanical properties. Furthermore, it can prevent the formation of porosity and cracks in the weld, improving welding quality. However, flux is susceptible to moisture and requires heating and insulation during use. Currently available flux insulation containers only provide air isolation and do not achieve real-time heating and insulation functions, affecting the storage effectiveness of the flux.

[0003] Patent application CN219428822U discloses a visual flux insulation bucket, comprising: a bucket body for holding flux, a bucket lid on top of the bucket body, a microcontroller control board on the bucket lid, a temperature sensor electrically connected to the microcontroller control board for detecting the temperature signal inside the bucket, the temperature sensor transmitting the collected temperature signal to the microcontroller control board, the LED screen of the microcontroller control board displaying the temperature data inside the bucket in real time, a viewing window on the outside of the bucket body, a stirrer at the bottom of the bucket body, an insulation layer embedded in the bucket body wall, a bucket lid sealing ring near the bucket body on the lid, and a mechanical combination lock between the lid and the bucket body.

[0004] The existing device can only monitor the flux inside the barrel during use. When the temperature is low, it cannot heat the barrel and flux, thus affecting the storage effect of the flux. Furthermore, it cannot open the barrel lid, making it complicated to remove the flux and inconvenient to clean the inside of the barrel afterward, which affects the performance.

[0005] Therefore, a new technical solution is needed to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a flux heating and insulation container. During use, a temperature controller regulates the temperature of the fiberglass heating belt to heat the flux inside the container. Furthermore, a thermocouple monitors the flux temperature in real time, ensuring it remains at a suitable temperature. The device also allows for real-time temperature display, enabling the flux to be used for extended periods at the welding site.

[0032] like Figure 1-6As shown, a flux heating and insulation bucket includes a base 1, a heating mechanism 2, and a fixing mechanism 3. The base 1 has casters 4 at its bottom, the heating mechanism 2 is mounted on the base 1, and the fixing mechanism 3 is located at its bottom. The heating mechanism 2 includes a support platform 21, an insulation bucket body 27, a fiberglass heating band 26, fiberglass cloth 28, insulation cotton 22, and a sealing cap 23. The heating mechanism 2 is fixed to the base 1 via the support platform 21. The bottom of the insulation bucket body 27 is connected to the support platform 21. A thermocouple 29 is installed through the bottom of the support platform 21, and the thermocouple 29 is in contact with the bottom of the insulation bucket body 27. The fiberglass heating band 26 is fitted onto the outer wall of the insulation bucket body 27 via an mounting block 25. The fiberglass heating band 26 is covered with fiberglass cloth 28, and insulation cotton 22 is provided around the fiberglass cloth 28. A fiberglass heating band 26 is wrapped around the outer perimeter of the insulated container body 27, contacting the outer wall of the insulated container body 27. The bottoms of the fiberglass cloth 28 and the insulation cotton 22 are in contact with the upper surface of the support platform 21, and the tops of the fiberglass cloth 28 and the insulation cotton 22 are in contact with the bottom surface of the sealing cap 23. The heating mechanism 2, when the flux needs to be heated and stored during use, places the flux into the insulated container body 27. The temperature of the fiberglass heating band 26 is controlled by a temperature controller 295 to heat the flux inside the insulated container body 27. With the help of a thermocouple 29, the temperature of the flux can be monitored in real time, ensuring the flux is at a suitable temperature. This allows for real-time display of the flux temperature, enabling the flux to be used for extended periods at the welding site. The fiberglass cloth 28 and the insulation cloth 22 on the outside of the insulated container body 27 provide insulation for both the fiberglass heating band 26 and the insulated container body 27. Both the fiberglass cloth 28 and the insulation cotton 22 have high-temperature resistance and flame-retardant properties, ensuring effective heating.

[0033] A sealing cover 23 is located on the top of the insulated container body 27. A second servo motor 296 is installed on the top of the sealing cover 23. A rotating shaft below the second servo motor 296 passes through the sealing cover 23 and is connected to a rotating rod 297 located inside the insulated container body 27. Multiple stirring rods 298 are provided on the rotating rod 297. A fixing frame 293 is provided adjacent to the heating mechanism 2. A first servo motor 292 is installed on the top of the fixing frame 293. A threaded rod 294 is provided inside the fixing frame 293 and is connected to the first servo motor 292 above. A sliding rod 24 is provided longitudinally on the side of the fixing frame 293. The upper and lower ends of the sliding rod 24 are connected and fixed to the fixing frame 293 through support blocks 291. A temperature controller 295 is connected to the fixing frame 293. The threaded rod 294 is threadedly connected to the connecting rod b232 extending from the side of the sealing cover 23. The connecting rod a231 extending from the side of the sealing cover 23 is sleeved on the sliding rod 24. The threaded rod 294 is driven to rotate by the first servo motor 292, causing the sealing cover 23 to slide up and down along the sliding rod 24. The device is equipped with a threaded rod 294 and a sliding rod 24 connected to the sealing cover 23. The threaded rod 294 can be driven to rotate by the first servo motor 292, which drives the sealing cover 23 to move up and down. This not only seals the insulation tank body 27, but also facilitates the extraction of flux and subsequent cleaning of the interior of the insulation tank body 27.

[0034] The fixing mechanism 3 includes a cylinder 31, a load-bearing plate 32, and a support base 33. The cylinder 31 is fixedly mounted on the top of the base 1, and the load-bearing plate 32 is connected below the cylinder 31. The support base 33 is located at the bottom of the load-bearing plate 32, and an anti-slip pad is provided at the bottom of the support base 33. Through the fixing mechanism 3, when the flux is in use and stored and heated under the action of the insulation tank body 27, the universal wheels 4 can move the insulation tank body 27 to the position where the flux needs to be used. When the movement is completed, the cylinder 31 can drive the load-bearing plate 32 to move, so that the support base 33 contacts the ground, which can limit the universal wheels 4, keeping the insulation tank body 27 and the flux in a stable state and preventing the universal wheels from moving due to external factors.

[0035] In actual operation, when the flux needs to be heated and stored during use, the flux is first placed into the insulation tank body 27. The first servo motor 292 drives the threaded rod 294 to rotate, controlling the movement of the connected sealing cover 23. The sealing cover 23 slides around the slide rod 24, so that the bottom of the sealing cover 23 contacts the top of the insulation tank body 27, sealing the insulation tank body 27. At the same time, the external power supply equipment supplies power to the temperature controller 295 and the glass fiber heating belt 26, so that the glass fiber heating belt 26 works to heat the flux inside the insulation tank body 27. With the help of the thermocouple 29, the temperature of the flux can be monitored in real time. The temperature controller 295 can control the temperature of the glass fiber heating belt 26 to keep the flux at a suitable temperature. With the help of the glass fiber cloth 28 and the insulation cloth 22, the glass fiber heating belt 26 and the insulation tank body 27 can be kept warm, ensuring the heating effect.

[0036] During the heating process, the stirring rod 298, which is fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the rotating rod 297, is driven by the second servo motor 296 to rotate. The flux is stirred under the action of the stirring rod 298. Stirring can fully mix the various components in the flux, ensuring the chemical stability of the flux and the welding effect, thereby improving the welding quality. When it is necessary to extract the flux, the sealing cover 23 can be moved away from the top of the heat preservation barrel body 27 under the action of the threaded rod 294.

[0037] When the position of the insulation barrel body 27 needs to be moved, the base 1 can be moved by the universal wheels 4, so that the insulation barrel body 27 moves along with the flux. Moving the flux and the insulation barrel body 27 can be easily moved to the required position, reducing the time and effort of the welder to retrieve the flux during the work process, thereby improving work efficiency. When the movement is completed, the load-bearing plate 32 can be moved by the cylinder 31, so that the support base 33 contacts the ground, which can limit the universal wheels 4, so that the insulation barrel body 27 and the flux are in a stable state, and prevent the universal wheels 4 from moving due to external factors. The thermocouple 29 used in this device is of type K, the temperature controller 295 is of type XMTD series, and the glass fiber heating belt 26 is of type FG-2.
