Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Steel ball air drying technology is mainly used to remove residual moisture or other liquids from the surface of steel balls in order to carry out subsequent processing steps. The development of modern steel ball air drying technology aims to improve work efficiency, reduce the labor intensity of operators, and improve the air drying effect.

[0003] A search revealed Chinese patent publication number CN220335260U, which discloses a special air-cooling device for steel ball processing. This patent involves placing steel balls in individual filter baskets, then placing the filter baskets inside a filter screen. A telescopic rod moves the filter screen to submerge the steel balls in a water tank for cooling. After cooling, the telescopic rod moves the filter screen to a location under a cooling fan for air drying. However, this device has a problem: multiple filter baskets are stacked inside the filter screen, resulting in uneven drying of the steel balls in each basket, making it time-consuming to dry all the steel balls.

They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0025] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0026] like Figures 1-6 As shown, a steel ball drying device includes a base 101, a plurality of support columns 102 are fixedly connected to the top of the base 101 along the circumference, a cylinder 103 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the support columns 102, a transmission mechanism is provided on one side of the cylinder 103, a storage frame 203 is coaxially provided inside the cylinder 103, a lifting mechanism is provided between the storage frame 203 and the cylinder 103, and a drying mechanism is provided on the cylinder 103.

[0027] The drying mechanism includes a connecting cylinder 401, which is rotatably connected to the top wall of the cylinder 103. The connecting cylinder 401 is coaxial with the cylinder 103. A driven gear 402 is fixedly connected to the connecting cylinder 401. A fixed pipe 403 is rotatably connected to the connecting cylinder 401 on the same axis. The upper end of the fixed pipe 403 is fixedly connected to the top wall of the cylinder 103. Two sets of air outlet pipes 404 are fixedly installed on the fixed pipe 403 along the axial direction. Each set of air outlet pipes 404 is evenly distributed around the fixed pipe 403 and forms a vortex away from the fixed pipe 403. A fan 405 is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the 103. The output pipe of the fan 405 is connected to the inside of the fixed pipe 403. When the storage frame 203 rises to the outside of the fixed pipe 403, the fan 405 is started to deliver external air into the fixed pipe 403 through the output pipe. The airflow is blown out from multiple air outlet pipes 404, so that the airflow blows into the storage frame 203 in a horizontal vortex shape, increasing the contact area between the airflow and the workpiece. At the same time, the connecting cylinder 401 drives the storage frame 203 to rotate, so that the storage frame 203 and the airflow rotate in opposite directions on the same axis, making the workpiece air dry more thoroughly.

[0028] The transmission mechanism includes a motor 301, which is fixedly installed on the top of the cylinder 103 on the side away from the fan 405. The output shaft of the motor 301 is fixedly connected to a drive gear 302, which meshes with a driven gear 402. The motor 301 drives the drive gear 302 to rotate, and the meshing of the drive gear 302 with the driven gear 402 drives the connecting cylinder 401 to rotate.

[0029] The lifting mechanism includes a hydraulic cylinder 201, which is fixedly connected to the top of the cylinder 103. A fixed plate 202 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the output shaft of the hydraulic cylinder 201. A storage frame 203 is rotatably connected to the fixed plate 202. The storage frame 203 has an opening facing upwards and its projection on the horizontal plane is annular. Multiple protrusions 7 are evenly distributed around the upper end of the storage frame 203. The hydraulic cylinder 201 drives the fixed plate 202 to rise, and the fixed plate 202 moves the storage frame 203 closer to the connecting cylinder 401.

[0030] Multiple locking blocks 501 are evenly distributed circumferentially at the lower end of the connecting cylinder 401, and multiple grooves 502 are evenly distributed circumferentially at the upper end of the storage frame 203. The locking blocks 501 and the grooves 502 correspond vertically. An isolation component is provided inside the storage frame 203. The storage frame 203 moves upward until the locking blocks 501 and the grooves 502 engage, causing the connecting cylinder 401 to drive the storage frame 203 to rotate.

[0031] The isolation assembly includes multiple mounting plates, which are fixedly connected to the storage frame 203. The mounting plates are evenly distributed along the inner wall of the storage frame 203. Multiple telescopic rods are fixedly connected to the mounting plates, and return springs are sleeved on the telescopic rods. Support blocks are fixed to the upper ends of the telescopic rods. A partition 503 is placed inside the storage frame 203. The partition 503 is circular and abuts against the support block. Part of the workpiece is placed at the bottom of the storage frame 203, and then the partition 503 is placed into the storage frame 203 so that the partition 503 abuts against the support block. The remaining workpiece is then placed on the partition 503.

[0032] A fixed column 601 is fixedly connected to the top wall of the cylinder 103 on the side away from the motor 301. A striking plate 602 is hinged to the lower end of the fixed column 601. A compression spring 603 is fixedly connected between the striking plate 602 and the fixed column 601. When the storage frame 203 rotates, the protrusion 7 squeezes the striking plate 602, causing the compression spring 603 to compress and deform. Then the protrusion 7 disengages from the striking plate 602, and the compression spring 603 pushes the striking plate 602 to strike the upper end of the storage frame 203, thereby causing the storage frame 203 to vibrate and shake off the water droplets attached to the storage frame 203. At the same time, as the storage frame 203 vibrates, the return spring deforms, causing the partition plate 503 to vibrate, further reducing the moisture on the surface of the workpiece.

[0033] Working principle: After cooling, the workpiece with water droplets on its surface is placed on the bottom wall of the storage frame 203. Then, the partition 503 is placed into the storage frame 203, so that the partition 503 abuts against the support block. The remaining workpiece is then placed on the partition 503. Subsequently, the hydraulic cylinder 201 drives the fixing plate 202 to rise. The fixing plate 202 moves the storage frame 203 closer to the connecting cylinder 401. The storage frame 203 moves upward until the locking block 501 engages with the groove 502. The motor 301 drives the drive gear 302 to rotate. The drive gear 302 meshes with the driven gear 402, causing the connecting cylinder 401 to rotate. This causes the connecting cylinder 401 to rotate the storage frame 203. The fan 405 is started to deliver external air to the fixing pipe 4 through the output pipe. Inside the 03, airflow is blown out from multiple air outlets 404, causing the airflow to blow into the storage frame 203 in a horizontal vortex shape, increasing the contact area between the airflow and the workpiece. At the same time, the connecting cylinder 401 drives the storage frame 203 to rotate, making the storage frame 203 rotate in the opposite direction to the airflow on the same axis, so that the workpiece is dried more thoroughly. When the storage frame 203 rotates, the protrusion 7 squeezes the striking plate 602, causing the compression spring 603 to compress and deform. Then the protrusion 7 disengages from the striking plate 602, and the compression spring 603 pushes the striking plate 602 to strike the upper end of the storage frame 203, thereby causing the storage frame 203 to vibrate and shake off the water droplets attached to the storage frame 203. At the same time, as the storage frame 203 vibrates, the return spring deforms, causing the partition plate 503 to vibrate, further reducing the moisture on the surface of the workpiece.
