Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steel ball electroplating technology, and in particular to a cooling device after steel ball electroplating. Background Technology

[0002] Bearing balls are used to mount bearings. During production, bearing balls undergo quenching to increase their hardness. After production, they are often electroplated. Electroplating is a process that uses electrolysis to deposit a layer of metal or alloy onto a metal surface. In steel ball electroplating, the steel ball acts as the cathode, and the plating metal acts as the anode. Metal ions in the electrolyte are reduced and deposited on the surface of the steel ball, forming the plating layer. Electroplating can improve the steel ball's corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and decorative properties. After electroplating, the steel balls are at a high temperature and require cooling. However, existing steel ball cooling devices have some problems in use:

[0003] Existing steel ball cooling devices mostly involve stacking high-temperature steel balls together and then immersing them in cold water to cool them down. However, because the high-temperature steel balls are stacked together, the steel balls in the middle have poor heat dissipation. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a cooling device for steel balls after electroplating.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A cooling device for electroplated steel balls includes a cooling box and a second cooling fan. Support legs are welded to the four corners of the bottom of the cooling box, and a drain pipe is connected to one inner wall of the bottom of the cooling box. Equally spaced conveyor rollers are rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the cooling box, and a perforated conveyor belt is fitted onto the outer wall of the conveyor rollers. Equally spaced U-shaped baffles are fixed to the outer wall of the perforated conveyor belt, and a servo motor is connected to one end of each conveyor roller via a coupling. A water inlet pipe is connected to one inner wall of the top of the cooling box, and a water storage shell is provided on one side of the cooling box. Equally spaced rectangular through-grooves are opened on the bottom inner wall of the water storage shell.

[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model: one end of the cooling box is fixed with a feeding guide rail along the inclined direction, and the bottom outer wall of the feeding guide rail is located on the top outer wall of the perforated conveyor belt.

[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model: a water supply pipe is connected to the bottom of the inner wall of one side of the cooling box, and the water supply pipe is connected to a miniature lift pump, and a connecting pipe is installed at the outlet end of the miniature lift pump.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a first cooling fan is installed on the top outer wall of the cooling box, and the rectangular through slot is perpendicular to the first cooling fan.

[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model: the water storage shell is fixed with symmetrically distributed second cooling fans along the width direction, and the second cooling fans are located directly above the perforated conveyor belt.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a cooling device for steel balls after electroplating, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. The steel ball electroplating cooling device designed in this paper introduces the high-temperature steel balls that need to be cooled into the cooling box. The continuously rotating perforated conveyor belt can evenly disperse them to avoid stacking and poor heat dissipation. The high-temperature steel balls are immersed in cold water to achieve rapid cooling. After completion, they are conveyed out and the second cooling fan blows out cold air, which can remove water and dry them while achieving further cooling.

[0014] 2. The steel ball electroplating cooling device of this design uses a micro-lift pump to transport heated cold water into the water storage shell, and then uses a rectangular channel to discharge it to form a multi-layer water curtain.

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0021] Example 1:

[0022] A cooling device for steel balls after electroplating, in this embodiment, as follows: Figure 1-3 As shown, the device includes a cooling box 1 and a second cooling fan 16. Support legs 2 are welded to the four corners of the bottom of the cooling box 1, and a drain pipe 3 is connected to the inner wall of one side of the bottom of the cooling box 1. Equally spaced conveyor rollers 4 are rotatably installed on the inner wall of the cooling box 1, and a perforated conveyor belt 5 is sleeved on the outer wall of the conveyor rollers 4. U-shaped baffles 6 are fixed to the outer wall of the perforated conveyor belt 5, and a servo motor 7 is connected to one end of the conveyor rollers 4 through a coupling. A water inlet pipe 8 is connected to the inner wall of one side of the top of the cooling box 1, and a water storage shell 10 is provided on one side of the cooling box 1. Equally spaced rectangular through slots 11 are opened on the inner wall of the bottom of the water storage shell 10.

[0023] By introducing the high-temperature steel balls that need to be cooled into the cooling box 1, they can be evenly distributed using the continuously rotating perforated conveyor belt 5, avoiding stacking that would lead to poor heat dissipation. The high-temperature steel balls are immersed in cold water to achieve rapid cooling. After completion, they are conveyed out and the second cooling fan 16 blows out cold air, which can remove water and dry the balls while further cooling them.

[0024] One end of the cooling box 1 is fixed with a feeding guide rail 9 along the inclined direction, and the bottom outer wall of the feeding guide rail 9 is located on the top outer wall of the perforated conveyor belt 5. The bottom of the inner wall of one side of the cooling box 1 is connected to a water supply pipe 12, and the water supply pipe 12 is connected to a micro lift pump 13. The outlet end of the micro lift pump 13 is equipped with a connecting pipe 14.

[0025] The top outer wall of the cooling box 1 is equipped with a first cooling fan 15, and the rectangular through slot 11 is perpendicular to the first cooling fan 15.

[0026] The water storage shell 10 is fixed with symmetrically distributed second cooling fans 16 along the width direction, and the second cooling fans 16 are located directly above the perforated conveyor belt 5.

[0027] After the heated cold water is transported into the water storage shell 10 by the micro lift pump 13, it is discharged through the rectangular channel 11 to form a multi-layer water curtain. The first cooling fan 15 blows air to accelerate the airflow around the water curtain to achieve cooling treatment, thereby achieving long-term and efficient cooling treatment of the steel balls.

[0028] In this embodiment, the cooling device is first connected to an external power source and powered on. Then, cold water is poured into the cooling box 1, and the steel balls to be cooled are poured into the feed guide rail 9. The steel balls will then slide onto the perforated conveyor belt 5. At this time, the servo motor 7 is started, which drives the perforated conveyor belt 5 to rotate, so that the steel balls are evenly distributed. Immersing in cold water can cool the steel balls. After leaving the cold water, the second cooling fan 16 above starts and blows out cold air, which not only dries the steel balls but also further cools them down. Then, the heated cold water is pumped into the water storage shell 10 using a micro lift pump 13. The warm water then falls from the rectangular channel 11 to form a water curtain. The first cooling fan 15 blows air to accelerate the airflow around the water curtain, which cools the warm water, thereby maintaining the efficient cooling of the steel balls for a long time.

[0029] Example 2:

[0030] A cooling device for steel balls after electroplating, such as Figure 1-3 As shown, this embodiment makes the following additions based on embodiment 1: the servo motor 7, the micro lift pump 13, the first cooling fan 15 and the second cooling fan 16 are all connected to the PLC controller through wires, and the PLC controller is connected to an external power supply through wires.
