[0028] Reference Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a special tool for cleaning oxide scale on heated surfaces, including a steel wire rope 1.
[0029] The following is a detailed explanation of its overall setup and function.
[0030] In this implementation scheme: one end of the wire rope 1 is fixedly connected to a metal block 3, the other end of the metal block 3 is fixedly connected to a cone 4, and a strong magnet 2 is fixedly installed at the other end of the wire rope 1. This oxide scale cleaning tool is inexpensive to manufacture, simple to operate, requires no operator training, improves work efficiency, and saves costs.
[0031] Specifically, the side wall of the metal block 3 has two guide grooves 9, and guide blocks 12 are slidably connected to the inner sides of the two guide grooves 9. Protective caps 5 are fixedly connected to the outer sides of the two guide blocks 12. By placing the protective caps 5 on the outside of the cone 4, the tip of the cone 4 can be shielded, preventing injury to workers from the cone 4 later. A spring 11 is fixedly connected between the guide blocks 12 and the guide grooves 9. The spring 11 improves the stability of locking the protective caps 5 after movement. A row of slots 10 is evenly distributed on the side wall of the metal block 3. A pivot pin 13 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the protective cap 5, and a locking block 14 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the pivot pin 13. Rotating the locking block 14 on the outer side of the pivot pin 13 to the inner side of the corresponding slot 10 on the metal block 3 can fix the protective cap 5 after it is pulled out. An elastic rope 7 is fixedly connected to the surface of the powerful magnet 2, and a plastic cover 6 is fixedly connected to the other end of the elastic rope 7. When the plastic cover 6 is released, it retracts to the surface of the powerful magnet 2 under the pulling force of the elastic rope 7. An arc-shaped ring 8 is fixedly connected to one end of the plastic cover 6. The arc-shaped ring 8 facilitates the removal of oxide scale impurities. The cross-section of the arc-shaped ring 8 is a semi-circular ring structure. This semi-circular cross-section further improves the treatment effect on oxide scale.
[0032] Working principle: This oxide scale cleaning tool has a simple structure and is easy to operate. The main body uses an 8mm steel wire rope 1, the actual length of which can be adjusted according to the site. The front end of the steel wire rope 1 is ground into a cone shape to remove oxide scale inside the pipe, and the tail end is connected to a strong magnet to attract the oxide scale that has fallen into the pipe, thereby achieving oxide scale cleaning. When using the cone 4, the protective cap 5 can be slid to expose the cone 4. Then, the locking block 14 on the outside of the pivot pin 13 is rotated to the inner side of the corresponding slot 10 on the metal block 3 to fix the protective cap 5 after it has been pulled out. At this time, the cone 4 can be used stably. The spring 11 improves the stability of locking the protective cap 5 after it has been moved. The guide block 12 slides inside the guide groove 9 to limit the movement direction of the protective cap 5. After using the cone 4... By placing the protective cap 5 over the outside of the cone 4, the tip of the cone 4 can be shielded, preventing injury to workers from the cone 4 later. During the use of the powerful magnet 2, oxide scale will be attracted to the surface of the plastic cover 6. After the plastic cover 6 is pulled out from the outside of the powerful magnet 2, the impurities can be removed from the surface of the plastic cover 6, facilitating the removal of oxide scale impurities. The arc-shaped structure and arc ring 8 facilitate the removal of oxide scale impurities, preventing them from adhering to the surface of the powerful magnet 2 again. When the plastic cover 6 is released, it will be pulled back to the surface of the powerful magnet 2 by the elastic rope 7, allowing for subsequent reuse of the powerful magnet 2. This oxide scale cleaning tool is inexpensive to manufacture, simple to operate, requires no operator training, improves work efficiency, and saves costs.
