Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of steel wire manufacturing technology, and in particular relates to a uniform lubricant applicator for steel wire surfaces. Background Technology

[0002] Steel wire is a slender metal wire made of carbon steel or alloy steel through cold drawing or hot rolling processes. It has high strength, good elasticity and toughness and is widely used in many fields. Its manufacturing process usually involves multiple steps, starting from steel billet, including heating, drawing, and annealing, to achieve the required diameter and mechanical properties.

[0003] The current steel wire manufacturing process lacks a lubricant applicator that can control the amount of lubricant dispensed and ensure uniform lubrication on the wire surface. The problem with this technology is that the lack of a lubricant applicator that can precisely control the amount of lubricant dispensed makes it difficult to accurately adjust the amount of lubricant applied during steel wire production, thus affecting the quality of the final product. Insufficient or excessive lubrication can cause a series of problems, such as scratches and cracks on the steel wire surface, or unnecessary waste of resources. Insufficient lubrication also increases friction between the steel wire and the die, accelerating die wear, reducing its service life, and potentially causing wire breakage and increasing the scrap rate. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a wire surface lubricating uniform applicator that can overcome or at least partially solve the above problems.

[0005] This utility model is implemented as follows: a uniform lubricant applicator for steel wire surfaces includes a mounting frame, a storage box, a feed plate, a connecting pipe, and a brush plate.

The surface of the adjusting screw is threadedly connected to the upper inner wall of the transmission block, the lower surface of the transmission block is fixedly connected to the right surface of the connecting block, the left surface of the connecting block is fixedly connected to the right surface of the baffle, the stroke groove is located on the left side of the baffle, the front end of the stroke groove is slidably connected to the surface of the fixing block, the rear end of the fixing block is fixedly connected to the front end of the spring, and the rear end of the spring is fixedly connected to the front end of the receiving block. Through the threaded connection, the linear movement of the transmission block can be achieved by simply rotating the adjusting screw, simplifying the operation process and ensuring that each adjustment accurately responds to the needs of different specifications of steel wire.

[0009] To improve the mixing effect, preferably, the mixing mechanism includes a support frame, a servo motor, support blocks, a mixing plate, and turbulence grooves.

The surface of the protective plate is fixedly connected to the surface of the storage tank. By providing the liquid discharge groove, the lubricant can be discharged according to actual needs, allowing the operator to adjust the amount of lubricant discharged according to the specific type and thickness of the steel wire, thereby avoiding unnecessary waste and ensuring that each steel wire receives appropriate and uniform lubrication.

[0011] To improve work efficiency, preferably, the two ends of the adjusting screw are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the protective plate, the surface of the transmission block is slidably connected to the inner wall of the protective plate, the surface of the connecting block is slidably connected to the lower right inner wall of the storage box via a sliding groove, the surface of the fixing block is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the storage box, the surface of the receiving block is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the rear end of the stroke groove, and the two ends of the baffle are slidably connected to the inner wall of the storage box via a sliding groove.

[0013] To improve the reliability of the equipment, preferably, the inner side of the liquid outlet groove is slidably connected to the surface of the baffle, which helps to improve the seal between the two, prevents the lubricant from leaking under non-specified conditions, and ensures that the lubricant can be applied to the steel wire surface under optimal conditions, thereby improving processing quality and efficiency.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] This invention incorporates an adjustment mechanism, a stirring mechanism, an adjusting screw, a transmission block, a connecting block, a baffle, a servo motor, a support block, a stirring plate, and turbulence grooves.

The stirring plate has turbulence grooves on its surface, which effectively promote vortex formation during stirring, further enhancing the stirring effect and ensuring the lubricant components are fully integrated, preventing stratification. The occurrence of this phenomenon provides optimal conditions for subsequent wire lubrication, solving the problem of the lack of a wire surface lubricator that can precisely control the amount of lubricant dispensed in the current wire manufacturing process. This lack makes it difficult to accurately adjust the amount of lubricant applied in wire production, thus affecting the quality of the final product. Insufficient or excessive lubrication can cause a series of problems, such as scratches and cracks on the wire surface, or unnecessary waste of resources. Insufficient lubrication will also increase the friction between the wire and the mold, accelerate mold wear, reduce its service life, and may even lead to wire breakage and increase the scrap rate.

The rear surface of the support blocks 203 is fixedly connected to the front surface of the stirring plate 204. Turbulence channels 205 are formed on the surface of the stirring plate 204.

The surface of the support frame 201 is fixedly connected to the front surface of the storage tank 6. The output end of the servo motor 202 is rotatably connected to the front surface of the storage tank 6 via a rotating shaft. The surface of the support block 203 is rotatably connected to the inner walls on both sides of the front end of the storage tank 6.

[0024] The working principle of this utility model:

[0025] During the processing of steel wire, to reduce friction between the wire and the mold and minimize defects such as scratches and cracks on the wire surface, ensuring a high surface finish in the final product, a layer of lubricant is typically applied to the wire surface. First, an appropriate amount of lubricant is added to the storage tank 6 through the feed plate 7. Then, the servo motor 202 located at the front of the storage tank 6 is activated. This motor drives the two support blocks 203 to rotate on the inner wall of the storage tank 6 via a transmission component connected to its output end. These support blocks 203 are connected to a stirring plate 204, causing them to rotate synchronously and thoroughly agitate the lubricant in the storage tank 6, ensuring its fluidity. It is worth noting that the stirring plate 204 has turbulence grooves 205 on its surface, which can create vortices during agitation, thereby improving the agitation effect. When lubrication of the steel wire is required, the lubricant output can be adjusted according to the specific type and thickness of the wire to avoid unnecessary waste. Specifically, this is done by rotating the right side of the storage tank 6. Adjusting screw 101, through the threaded engagement between adjusting screw 101 and transmission block 102, causes the lower connecting block 103 of transmission block 102 to move along the sliding groove on the inner wall of storage tank 6, thereby driving baffle 104 to slide outward along the inner wall of storage tank 6, gradually opening the liquid outlet groove 3 at the bottom of the liquid storage tank. This allows for flexible adjustment of the position of baffle 104 according to actual needs, controlling the liquid output. In addition, a stroke groove 105 is provided on the left side of baffle 104, in which the spring 107 is compressed when baffle 104 moves, and simultaneously pushes baffle 104 with its own elastic restoring force, ensuring the synchronicity of the movement of both ends of baffle 104. The lubricating fluid flowing out of the liquid outlet groove 3 is guided by the connecting plate and finally reaches the brush plate 9. The lubricating fluid is evenly coated on the surface of the steel wire by the sliding plate, ensuring that every inch of steel wire receives proper lubrication, thereby effectively improving processing quality and efficiency. This process not only helps protect the steel wire from damage, but also improves the smoothness of subsequent processing steps.

[0026] The specific models and specifications of the brush plate 9, adjusting screw 101, spring 107, and servo motor 202 proposed in this application need to be selected and determined according to the actual specifications of the device. The specific selection and calculation method adopts the existing technology in this field, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0027] The wiring connection methods and control methods of the brush plate 9, adjusting screw 101, spring 107, and servo motor 202 proposed in this application are all existing technologies in this field, and therefore will not be described in detail.
