Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of zinc spraying technology for cast iron pipes, specifically a zinc spraying machine for cast iron pipes. Background Technology
[0002] The zinc spraying machine mainly consists of a frame, clamping and rotating mechanism, lifting mechanism, zinc spraying mechanism, electro-hydraulic control system, and flue gas recovery system. It is primarily used for the protection of cast iron pipes buried in highly corrosive soils, such as swampy soil, muddy soil, sulfate-containing soil, garbage soil, and soil contaminated by drainage.
[0003] CN110201829A discloses a zinc spraying machine for cast iron pipes with a rapid zinc spraying function. The machine includes a zinc spraying chamber with a through hole on one vertical wall and a sliding groove on the side wall near the bottom. This zinc spraying machine for cast iron pipes solves the problem that current methods require fixing the cast iron pipes during painting, but using clamps prevents sufficient zinc spraying at the clamped areas, reducing the quality of the zinc spraying.

The feeding mechanism is installed at the bottom of the support frame, and the traveling trolley is installed at the top of the support frame. The feeding mechanism and the traveling trolley are arranged sequentially along the feeding direction. This invention features stable operation, low wear, precise transmission, convenient control, and lower maintenance costs.

When the cast iron pipes are passed through the zinc spraying mechanism, electro-hydraulic control system and flue gas recovery system, positioning, movement and unloading are all cumbersome and the work efficiency is low.

[0027] Example: Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a zinc spraying machine for cast iron pipes, including a base 1. A clamping and rotating mechanism 2 is fixedly installed on one side of the top of the base 1. A support mechanism 4 is provided in the middle of the top of the base 1. A zinc spraying mechanism 3 is provided at the top of the base 1 between the clamping and rotating mechanism 2 and the support mechanism 4. A material fixing mechanism 5 is fixedly installed on the side of the top of the base 1 away from the clamping and rotating mechanism 2.
[0028] The material fixing mechanism 5 includes two symmetrically distributed rotating outer frames 51. The rotating outer frames 51 are fixedly installed on the top of the base 1 away from the clamping rotating mechanism 2. A rotating inner frame 52 is rotatably mounted on the rotating outer frame 51. The rotating inner frame 52 can rotate on the corresponding rotating outer frame 51. A base frame 53 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the opposite sides of the two rotating inner frames 52. A first ring frame 54 is fixedly installed on the top of the base frame 53 near the support mechanism 4. A second ring frame 55 is slidably installed on the top of the base frame 53 away from the support mechanism 4. A driving mechanism is provided between the second ring frame 55 and the rotating outer frame 51. Activating the driving mechanism can drive the second ring frame 55 to slide horizontally on the top of the base frame 53. A first lifting cylinder 56 is fixedly installed at the middle of the bottom of the first ring frame 54 and the second ring frame 55. A second lifting cylinder 57 is fixedly mounted on both sides of the top of the first ring frame 54 and the second ring frame 55. The driving ends of the first lifting cylinder 56 and the second lifting cylinder 57 point to the center of the first ring frame 54 and the second ring frame 55, respectively.
[0029] The first lifting cylinder 56 and the second lifting cylinder 57 on the first ring frame 54 are each rotatably equipped with a first positioning ball 58. In use, according to the outer diameter of the cast iron pipe, the first lifting cylinder 56 and the second lifting cylinder 57 on the first ring frame 54 are controlled to drive the corresponding first positioning ball 58 to move towards each other, so that the first positioning ball 58 contacts the outer wall of the cast iron pipe and performs ball-type positioning of the cast iron pipe, which facilitates the rotation of the cast iron pipe. The first lifting cylinder 56 and the second lifting cylinder 57 on the second ring frame 55 are each fixedly equipped with a positioning protrusion 59. According to the outer diameter of the cast iron pipe, the first lifting cylinder 56 and the second lifting cylinder 57 on the second ring frame 55 are controlled to drive the corresponding positioning protrusion 59 to move towards each other, so that the positioning protrusion 59 contacts the outer wall of the cast iron pipe and performs convex positioning of the cast iron pipe, which prevents the cast iron pipe from rotating. The bottom of the opposite sides of the two rotating outer frames 51 are fixedly equipped with guide plates 6 to facilitate subsequent material unloading.
[0030] Gear rings 7 are fixedly fitted on opposite sides of the rotating inner frame 52. Drive gears 71 are meshed with the bottom of the gear rings 7. Drive shafts 72 are fixedly installed in the middle of the two drive gears 71, and are rotatably mounted on the bottom of the rotating outer frame 51. A U-shaped frame 8 is fixedly installed on the bottom side of one of the rotating outer frames 51. An auxiliary shaft 81 is rotatably mounted in the middle of the U-shaped frame 8. One end of the auxiliary shaft 81 is coaxially fixedly installed with the end of the drive shaft 72. A driven worm gear 83 is fixedly fitted on the other end of the auxiliary shaft 81. A drive worm 84 is meshed with the top of the driven worm gear 83, and is rotatably mounted on... A motor 9 is fixedly installed on the side of the U-shaped frame 8 near the drive worm gear 84. The drive end of the motor 9 and the end of the drive worm gear 84 are coaxially fixedly installed. When in use, the motor 9 is turned on to drive the drive worm gear 84 to drive the driven worm wheel 83 to rotate, thereby driving the auxiliary shaft 81 and the drive shaft 72 to rotate, which in turn drives the two drive gears 71 to rotate, thereby driving the gear ring 7 to drive the rotating inner frame 52 to rotate on the corresponding rotating outer frame 51. Through the fixed connection of the base frame 53, the first ring frame 54 and the second ring frame 55 are driven to rotate, driving the cast iron pipe to rotate from the original upper position to the lower position.
[0031] The support mechanism 4 includes a support base ring frame 41, which is fixedly installed at the top center of the base 1. Two symmetrically distributed crossbeams 42 are vertically mounted on the top of the support base ring frame 41. A third lifting cylinder 43 is fixedly installed at the bottom center of the support base ring frame 41. A fourth lifting cylinder 44 is fixedly mounted in the middle of the crossbeams 42. The driving ends of the third and fourth lifting cylinders 43 and 44 point towards the center of the support base ring frame 41. A third lifting cylinder 43 is fixedly mounted on its driving end. The first cylinder 45 and the driving end of the fourth lifting cylinder 44 are fixedly installed with the second cylinder 46. The opposite ends of the first cylinder 45 and the second cylinder 46 are rotatably installed with the second positioning ball 47. In use, according to the outer diameter of the cast iron pipe, the third lifting cylinder 43 and the fourth lifting cylinder 44 are controlled to drive the corresponding first cylinder 45, second cylinder 46 and second positioning ball 47 to move towards each other, so that the second positioning ball 47 contacts the outer wall of the cast iron pipe, and provides ball-type positioning support for the cast iron pipe, thereby improving the stability of the subsequent rotational zinc spraying of the cast iron pipe.
[0032] The center positions of the first ring frame 54, the second ring frame 55 and the supporting bottom ring frame 41 are coaxially corresponding to the position of the rotating shaft end of the clamping rotating mechanism 2.
[0033] The length of the cast iron pipe shall not exceed the distance between two rotating inner frames 52.
[0034] Working principle: In use, with the openings of the first ring frame 54 and the second ring frame 55 facing upwards, the cast iron pipe is lifted using an external lifting mechanism. The cast iron pipe passes through the space between the two rotating inner frames 52, through the openings above the first ring frame 54 and the second ring frame 55, and is positioned between the first ring frame 54 and the second ring frame 55. The length of the cast iron pipe is limited to not exceeding the distance between the two rotating inner frames 52, so as not to affect the placement of the cast iron pipe between the first ring frame 54 and the second ring frame 55. Subsequently, according to the outer diameter of the cast iron pipe, the first lifting cylinder 56 and the second lifting cylinder 57 on the first ring frame 54 are controlled to drive the corresponding first positioning ball 58 to move towards each other, so that the first positioning ball 58 contacts the outer wall of the cast iron pipe, and performs ball-type positioning of the cast iron pipe, which facilitates the rotation of the cast iron pipe.
[0035] According to the outer diameter of the cast iron pipe, control the opening of the first lifting cylinder 56 and the second lifting cylinder 57 on the second ring frame 55 to drive the corresponding positioning protrusion 59 to move towards each other, so that the positioning protrusion 59 contacts the outer wall of the cast iron pipe, and performs convex positioning of the cast iron pipe to prevent the cast iron pipe from rotating.
[0036] Based on the outer diameter of the cast iron pipe, the third lifting cylinder 43 and the fourth lifting cylinder 44 are controlled to drive the corresponding first cylinder 45, second cylinder 46 and second positioning ball 47 to move towards each other, so that the second positioning ball 47 can contact the outer wall of the cast iron pipe.
[0037] At this time, the center positions of the first ring frame 54, the second ring frame 55 and the supporting bottom ring frame 41 are coaxially corresponding to the position of the rotating shaft end of the clamping rotating mechanism 2.
[0038] Subsequently, the drive mechanism is activated to drive the second ring frame 55 to slide horizontally at the top of the base frame 53 toward the support base ring frame 41, pushing the cast iron pipe to move horizontally to the support base ring frame 41 and pass through the support base ring frame 41. The second positioning ball 47 contacts the outer wall of the cast iron pipe to provide ball-type positioning support for the cast iron pipe. Then, it is placed on the clamping and rotating mechanism 2.
[0039] Subsequently, the positioning of the cast iron pipe on the second ring frame 55 was released;
[0040] Subsequently, the clamping and rotating mechanism 2 is activated in conjunction with the zinc spraying mechanism 3 to spray zinc onto the cast iron pipe;
[0041] After the zinc spraying operation is completed, the second ring frame 55 is repositioned on the cast iron pipe. Then, the second ring frame 55 pulls the cast iron pipe away from the support bottom ring frame 41, so that the cast iron pipe is separated from the clamping and rotating mechanism 2 and the support mechanism 4 and placed above the guide plate 6.
[0042] Subsequently, the control motor 9 drives the drive worm gear 84 to drive the driven worm wheel 83 to rotate, thereby driving the auxiliary shaft 81 and drive shaft 72 to rotate, which in turn drives the two drive gears 71 to rotate, thereby driving the gear ring 7 to drive the rotating inner frame 52 to rotate on the corresponding rotating outer frame 51. Since the base frame 53 is fixedly connected to the rotating inner frame 52, the first ring frame 54, and the second ring frame 55, when the rotating inner frame 52 rotates, it simultaneously drives the first ring frame 54 and the second ring frame 55 to rotate together, and drives the cast iron pipe on it to rotate together, so that the cast iron pipe rotates from its original upper position. After turning to the lower position (rotation angle above 90 degrees), the first lifting cylinder 56 and the second lifting cylinder 57 on the first ring frame 54 are activated to drive the corresponding first positioning ball 58 to move in the opposite direction, and the first lifting cylinder 56 and the second lifting cylinder 57 on the second ring frame 55 are activated to drive the corresponding positioning protrusion 59 to move in the opposite direction, so that the positioning protrusion 59 and the outer wall of the cast iron pipe are disengaged. The cast iron pipe automatically rolls onto the guide plate 6 through the openings of the first ring frame 54 and the second ring frame 55, and is automatically fed out along the inclined guide plate 6.
[0043] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
