Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pre-coated metal coil production technology, and in particular to a high-efficiency and homogeneous cleaning device for pre-coated metal coil color coating. Background Technology
[0002] In pre-coated metal coil coating production lines, the surface of the metal substrate needs to be treated to ensure good adhesion between the coating and the substrate. First, grease and dirt adhering to the substrate surface must be cleaned, otherwise the coating adhesion will be affected. This cleaning process primarily removes oil, iron powder, or conversion films (such as zinc passivation films) that negatively impact product quality, providing a clean surface for subsequent processes. Ultimately, this lays the foundation for improved adhesion between the substrate and the paint, as well as enhanced corrosion resistance of the product.
[0003] Currently, most pre-coated metal coil color coating cleaning equipment uses ordinary tanks filled with alkaline solutions or water to perform degreasing and cleaning pretreatment through different combinations of alkaline spraying, alkaline brushing, and water spraying. When the line speed of pre-coated metal coils is low, this traditional cleaning equipment can basically meet the pretreatment requirements of the metal coil surface. However, when high-line-speed production is used, existing equipment often faces the following key problems:
[0004] (1) Uneven cleaning: At high linear speed, the surface of metal coil is prone to inadequate or uneven cleaning, resulting in residual dirt on the substrate surface, which affects the quality of subsequent coating.
[0005] (2) Liquid cross-contamination problem: During the transportation of metal coils, the cleaning liquid from the previous cleaning section is often carried into the next section. This not only leads to dilution or uneven mixing of the cleaning liquid concentration, but may also cause cross-contamination of alkaline solution and demineralized water, further affecting the cleaning effect.
[0006] (3) Decreased lifespan of cleaning solution: Due to frequent liquid cross-contamination, the lifespan of alkaline solution and desalination water is significantly shortened, the frequency of cleaning solution replacement increases, leading to increased solid waste discharge and resource waste.
[0007] Based on the problems of low surface treatment efficiency, uneven cleaning, and serious liquid cross-contamination in existing pre-coated metal coil cleaning equipment under high line speed conditions, there is an urgent need to develop a high-efficiency and homogeneous pre-coated metal coil color coating cleaning equipment that can meet the production needs of high line speed surface treatment of pre-coated metal coils, while taking into account coating quality, resource utilization and environmental protection requirements.

[0029] To provide a clearer understanding of the technical solution, purpose, and effects of this utility model, the specific embodiments of this utility model are now described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides a high-efficiency and homogeneous cleaning device for pre-coated metal coil color coating. The cleaning device includes: a tension machine 1, an ultrasonic cleaning device 2, an alkaline washing device 3, a clean water washing device 4, and a rinsing device 5, arranged sequentially along the metal coil conveying direction. Each device is isolated by a squeezing roller group 7 and is equipped with an internal circulating spray device 502 for mixing and circulating alkaline and demineralized water solutions to ensure homogeneity of the cleaning solution. The equipment has a reasonable structure, and the squeezing roller group 7 isolates each process, preventing liquid cross-contamination and improving cleaning efficiency and resource utilization.
[0031] The ultrasonic cleaning equipment includes an ultrasonic cleaning tank 201, multiple ultrasonic generators 202 located at the bottom of the tank, guide roller groups 203 (including conveyor rollers 2031 for horizontally conveying the metal coil and pressure rollers 2032 for downwardly pressing the metal coil) located at the front and rear ends of the tank, and an internal circulation spray device 502. The ultrasonic generators 202 are distributed at the bottom of the ultrasonic cleaning tank 201, and their number is set according to the tank length and cleaning requirements to ensure uniform distribution of ultrasonic energy within the cleaning area. The guide roller groups 203, through horizontally conveying and downwardly pressing the metal coil, ensure that the metal coil remains stable during the cleaning process, avoiding vibration or displacement.
[0032] The alkaline washing equipment 3 and the clean water washing equipment 4 each include a washing tank 301, a set of vertically staggered roller brushes 302, and an internal circulation spray device 502 located in front of the roller brushes. The vertically staggered design of the roller brushes 302 facilitates thorough washing of both sides of the metal coil. Simultaneously, the internal circulation spray device 502 sprays alkaline solution or clean water evenly onto the surface of the metal coil through nozzles 5023. Combined with the washing action of the roller brushes, this ensures sufficient contact between the cleaning solution and the surface of the metal coil. The vertically staggered distance of the roller brushes 302 is 15-30mm, the spray pressure of the internal circulation spray device 502 is 0.2-0.8MPa, and the nozzles 5023 adopt a double-layer fan-shaped design, with a coverage width reaching 1.2 times the width of the coil, ensuring uniformity of the cleaning effect.
[0033] The rinsing equipment 5 includes a rinsing tank 501 and an internal circulation spray device 502. The internal circulation spray device 502, through a combination of a U-shaped circulation pipe 5021, a spray pipe 5022, and nozzles 5023, circulates the cleaning solution onto the surface of the metal coil, ensuring the homogeneity of the rinsing effect. One end of the U-shaped circulation pipe 5021 is connected to a liquid storage tank 601 via a switch valve, and the other end is connected to the spray pipe 5022 via a switch valve. The spray pipe 5022 is equipped with nozzles 5023, facilitating adjustment of the spray flow rate and pressure to ensure uniform distribution of the cleaning solution on the surface of the metal coil.
[0034] The internal circulation spray device 502 is the core innovative component of this equipment, used to mix and circulate alkaline solution and demineralized water to ensure the homogeneity and stability of the cleaning solution. In the ultrasonic cleaning device 1, the internal circulation spray device 502 works in conjunction with the guide roller group 203 to ensure that the surface of the metal coil is thoroughly cleaned under the action of ultrasound. In the alkaline solution brushing device 3 and the clean water brushing device 4, the internal circulation spray device 502 works in conjunction with the roller brush group 302 to achieve comprehensive cleaning of both sides of the metal coil. In the rinsing device 5, the internal circulation spray device 502 sprays the cleaning solution evenly onto the surface of the metal coil through the nozzle 5023 to ensure the homogeneous distribution of the cleaning solution.
[0035] The squeeze roller assembly 7 is used to isolate different cleaning sections, prevent the cleaning solution from mixing, and ensure the recycling of the cleaning solution. The surface of the squeeze roller is coated with a nitrile rubber layer, which has good wear resistance and corrosion resistance. The lifting stroke of the squeeze roller is 0~75mm, and the pressure of the squeeze roller can be adjusted according to actual needs to ensure uniform distribution of cleaning solution on the surface of the metal coil, while avoiding excessive cleaning solution residue. The squeeze roller assembly includes squeeze roller 1 701 (between the ultrasonic cleaning equipment and the alkaline washing equipment), squeeze roller 2 702 (between the alkaline washing equipment and the clean water washing equipment), squeeze roller 3 703 (between the clean water washing equipment and the rinsing equipment), and squeeze roller 4 704 (after the rinsing equipment). Each squeeze roller can independently adjust its pressure and height to adapt to the needs of different cleaning sections.
[0036] Each cleaning device is equipped with an independent liquid supply system 6, including a storage tank 601 and a delivery pipe 603 with a control valve 602. The storage tank 601 is located below the tank body of each cleaning device, and the delivery pipe 603 is lowered from above the cleaning device to one side of the tank body and is equipped with a switch valve to facilitate the introduction of fresh alkaline solution and demineralized water. Through the coordinated operation of the internal circulation spray device 502 and the independent liquid supply system, the cleaning solution can be recycled and homogenized, reducing the discharge of cleaning waste liquid and improving resource utilization.
[0037] In summary, after the tension of the metal coil is adjusted by the tensioner 1, it enters the ultrasonic cleaning equipment 2. The ultrasonic generator 201 generates high-intensity ultrasonic waves to clean the oil and impurities on the surface of the metal coil. At the same time, the roller brush assembly 302 brushes the surface of the metal coil in both directions to initially remove stubborn dirt. The internal circulation spray device 502 sprays alkaline cleaning solution (pH value 9-11) evenly onto the surface of the metal coil to ensure the homogeneity of the cleaning solution. The metal coil then enters the alkaline washing equipment 3 from the ultrasonic cleaning equipment 2. The roller brush assembly 302 is staggered vertically by 15-30mm to brush the surface of the metal coil in both directions, combined with the internal circulation spray device. The spraying action of 502 further removes dirt from the surface of the metal coil. The metal coil enters the clean water washing equipment 4 from the alkaline washing equipment 3. The roller brush group 302 and the internal circulation spraying device 502 work together to use desalinated water with a conductivity ≤0.3µs / cm to wash the surface of the metal coil and remove residual alkaline substances. Finally, the metal coil enters the rinsing equipment 5. The internal circulation spraying device 502 sprays desalinated water with a conductivity ≤0.3µs / cm evenly onto the surface of the metal coil to thoroughly remove residual cleaning liquid and impurities, ensuring that the surface of the metal coil is clean and hygienic, providing a good foundation for subsequent coating processes.
[0038] This invention achieves efficient and homogeneous cleaning through multi-stage coordinated cleaning, internal circulation spray homogenization design, and anti-liquid cross-contamination design. It solves the problems of uneven cleaning, severe liquid cross-contamination, and resource waste associated with traditional cleaning equipment under high linear speed conditions. The equipment is suitable for high-linear-speed pretreatment of pre-coated metal coils, effectively improving cleaning efficiency and coating quality, reducing production costs and environmental pollution, and providing an efficient and environmentally friendly cleaning solution for coating production lines of pre-coated metal coils.
[0039] The cleaning equipment for pre-coated metal coils described above is merely an illustrative embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Any equivalent changes and modifications made by those skilled in the art without departing from the concept and principles of this utility model should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
