Detailed Implementation

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] Reference Figures 1-4A salt spray testing device for metallic materials includes a housing 1. A testing chamber 2 is located in the upper part of the housing 1, and a salt solution storage chamber 3 and a waste liquid recovery chamber 4 are located in the lower part of the housing 1. The bottom of the testing chamber 2 is connected to the waste liquid recovery chamber 4 via a drain port 5. A first rotating shaft 6 is rotatably mounted between two opposite side walls inside the testing chamber 2. One end of the first rotating shaft 6 is fixedly connected to the output end of a first drive motor 8 on the outer wall of the housing 1. Turntables 7 are fixedly mounted on the first rotating shaft 6 on both sides of the testing chamber 2. Several second rotating shafts 9 are circumferentially mounted on each of the two turntables 7, and the second rotating shafts 9 on the two turntables 7 are rotatably connected to the turntables 7. Correspondingly, gears 10 are fixedly connected to the ends of the second rotating shafts 9 on the two turntables 7 that are far apart from each other, and fixing mechanisms 16 are fixedly connected to the ends of the second rotating shafts 9 on the two turntables 7 that are close to each other. Metal material 11 is fixed between the two fixing mechanisms 16 on both sides. Internal gear rings 12 are fixedly connected to the side walls of the test chamber 2 corresponding to the periphery of each turntable 7. All gears 10 on each turntable 7 mesh with the corresponding internal gear rings 12. Several salt spray nozzles 13 are installed on the two side walls of the test chamber 2 where internal gear rings 12 are not provided. The salt spray nozzles 13 are all connected to the submersible pump 15 in the salt solution storage chamber 3 through the infusion pipe 14. During testing, the first drive motor 8 drives the first rotating shaft 6 to rotate, and the first rotating shaft 6 drives the two turntables 7 to rotate synchronously. The turntables 7 drive the second rotating shaft, the fixing mechanism 16, and the metal material 11 between the fixing mechanism to revolve around the first rotating shaft 6. Since the gear 10 at one end of the second rotating shaft 9 meshes with the internal gear ring, the metal material 11 will also rotate on its own axis while revolving around the rotating shaft, thereby ensuring that the salt spray nozzles 13 on both sides can spray evenly onto the upper and lower surfaces of the metal material 11.

[0021] Specifically, in this embodiment, each turntable 7 is equipped with four second rotating shafts 9, which can fix four kinds of the same or different metal materials. In other embodiments, the number of second rotating shafts 9 can be set according to specific needs.

[0022] In this embodiment, the fixing mechanism 16 includes a supporting side plate 161. One side of the supporting side plate 161 is fixedly connected to the corresponding second rotating shaft 9, and the two ends of the other side are respectively vertically fixedly connected to supporting end plates 162. Adjusting bolts 163 are threadedly connected to the two supporting end plates 162 respectively. Clamping plates 164 are rotatably installed at the ends of the two adjusting bolts 163 that are close to each other. The two clamping plates 164 are used to clamp and fix the metal material 11. By rotating the adjusting bolts 163, the two clamping plates 164 can be driven to move closer or further apart, so as to facilitate the fixing and disassembly of the metal material 11.

[0023] In this embodiment, guide rods 165 are fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the two clamping plates 164. The guide rods 165 pass through the corresponding support end plates 162 and are slidably connected to the corresponding support end plates 162. The guide rods 165 provide guidance and limitation, thereby preventing the clamping plates 164 from rotating with the rotation of the adjusting bolts 163.

[0024] In this embodiment, a stirring rod 17 is horizontally arranged inside the salt solution storage chamber 3. Stirring blades are mounted on the stirring rod 17. One end of the stirring rod 17 passes through the side wall of the salt solution storage chamber 3 and is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the second drive motor 18 on the outer wall of the housing 1. The second drive motor 18 drives the stirring rod 17 to rotate, thereby using the stirring blades on the stirring rod 17 to stir the salt solution in the salt solution storage chamber 3, preventing precipitation and crystallization.

[0025] In this embodiment, a liquid level sensor 19 is installed on the side wall of the salt solution storage chamber 3, and an alarm 20 is installed on the top of the housing 1. Both the liquid level sensor 19 and the alarm 20 are electrically connected to a PLC controller fixed on the side wall of the housing 1. When the liquid level in the salt solution storage chamber 3 is low, the liquid level sensor 19 can trigger the alarm 20 through the PLC controller, thereby prompting the staff to replenish the liquid.

[0026] In this embodiment, the bottom wall of the test chamber 2 is inclined, and the drain port 5 is located at the lowest end of the bottom wall of the test chamber 2, so as to facilitate the collection of waste liquid and prevent solution residue in the test chamber 2.

[0027] In this embodiment, the bottom of the waste liquid recovery chamber 4 is connected to a drain pipe 21 for discharging waste liquid, and the top of the salt solution storage chamber 3 is connected to an inlet pipe 22 for replenishing salt solution to the salt solution storage chamber 3. Both the drain pipe 21 and the inlet pipe 22 are equipped with switch valves.

[0028] In this embodiment, an end cap is installed on the top of the box 1. After opening the end cap, the metal material 11 can be placed and removed.

[0029] In this embodiment, heating elements and temperature sensors can be installed on the side wall of the test chamber 2 and the side wall of the salt solution storage chamber 3. The temperature sensors are used to monitor the temperature inside the test chamber 2 and the temperature of the salt solution in real time. When the temperature is too low, the PLC controller automatically controls the heating elements to work, thereby ensuring that the temperature inside the test chamber 2 remains constant.

[0030] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not constitute any limitation on the technical scope of the present utility model. Therefore, any minor modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
