Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of mesh belt cleaning tooling, specifically a self-cleaning device for residual parts in the gaps of a circulating mesh belt furnace. Background Technology

[0002] Dacromet surface treatment is used in various industries, including for smaller parts. High-temperature baking is a crucial step in this process. The Dacromet industry typically uses woven metal conveyor belts for high-temperature baking. One drawback of this type of belt is that smaller parts can get stuck in the gaps and cannot fall freely at the baking end. These parts then return to the oven's starting point with other products, creating a quality risk. Currently, cleaning these smaller parts or residues requires manual removal by receiving personnel. This approach has the following disadvantages: it increases the workload of receiving personnel; and when a large number of parts are stuck, machine shutdown and manual cleaning are necessary, reducing production efficiency. Summary of the Invention

Each steel pipe has a first through hole, and the spring component is located in the first through hole of the steel pipe. The spring component has an extra part inside the steel pipe, which is a spring extension. The spring extension can abut against the mesh belt component to knock on the mesh belt gap holes and remove residual parts.

[0007] Preferably, each of the steel pipes has a threaded hole at its top, and the steel pipe is threaded through and connected to the threaded hole by a screw. The screw passes through the threaded hole and the spring in sequence to fix one end of the spring.

[0008] Preferably, the length of the spring extension is greater than the distance from the center of the gear shaft to the center of the mesh belt support rod.

Detailed Implementation

[0014] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0015] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, a self-cleaning device for residual parts in the mesh belt gap of a circulating mesh belt furnace includes several mesh belt structures and a self-cleaning mechanism. The mesh belt structure includes a mesh belt component 21, several mesh belt support rods 22, and a gear shaft 23 for driving the mesh belt component 21 to move. The several mesh belt support rods 22 are connected to the mesh belt component 21.

[0016] The self-cleaning mechanism includes a tooling bracket 31, several steel pipes 32 arranged on the tooling bracket 31, and several spring components 33. The mesh belt mechanism has a tooling bracket 31. One end of the steel pipe 32 is welded to the tooling bracket 31, and the other end of the steel pipe 32 is located directly above the gear shaft 23. Each steel pipe 32 has a first through hole 321. The spring component 33 is located in the first through hole 321 of the steel pipe 32, and the extra part of the spring component 33 in the steel pipe 32 is a spring extension 331. The spring extension 331 can abut against the mesh belt component 21 and is used to knock the mesh belt gap holes and remove residual parts.

[0017] Each of the steel pipes 32 has a threaded hole 322 on its upper part. The steel pipe 32 is threaded through and connected to the threaded hole 322 by a screw 4. The screw 4 passes through the threaded hole 322 and the spring member 33 in sequence to fix one end of the spring member 33.

[0018] Using the above structure, a tooling bracket 31 is set inside the mesh belt structure. Several steel pipes 32, each with a spring element 33, are arranged on the tooling bracket 31. First, steel pipes 32 of suitable length are welded to the tooling bracket 31. Then, the spring elements 33 are placed inside the steel pipes 32. The position of the spring elements 33 is adjusted so that the spring extension 331 of the spring element 33, in its natural state, just blocks the mesh belt load-bearing rod 22 below it. Finally, screws 4 are used to fix the spring elements 33 through the threaded holes 322 of the steel pipes 32 and the spring elements 33. The number and spacing of the tooling are adjusted appropriately according to the width of the mesh belt and its gaps. As the conveyor belt operates, the conveyor belt support rod 22 gradually bends the long spring counterclockwise, storing energy in the spring extension 331 of the spring component 33. When the spring extension 331 bends to a certain extent, its elastic potential energy and the movement of the conveyor belt support rod 22 cause it to loosen. Then, the spring extension 331 releases its elastic energy, moves clockwise, and strikes the conveyor belt component 21. Parts stuck in the gaps of the conveyor belt component 21 are removed by the spring extension 331 and the vibration, and this process is repeated. This structure facilitates real-time removal of residual parts from gaps during conveyor belt operation, preventing parts from returning to the starting point and causing material mixing. This design uses relatively few materials; it is also a mechanical design that requires no additional power supply, making it energy-efficient; it requires no downtime and zero manual intervention; in actual use, it can automatically and effectively remove parts stuck and remaining in the gaps of the conveyor belt, reducing product quality risks.

[0019] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the length of the spring extension 331 is greater than the distance from the center of the gear shaft 23 to the center of the conveyor belt support rod 22. This design allows the spring extension 331 of the spring component 33 to rotate counterclockwise and store energy under the downward pressure of the conveyor belt support rod during conveyor belt operation. After bending to a certain extent, the spring extension 331 then rebounds clockwise, applying an upward clockwise force and striking the conveyor belt component 21. Parts stuck in the gaps of the conveyor belt component 21 are removed by the spring extension 331 and the vibration, facilitating the automatic and effective removal of stuck and residual parts from the conveyor belt gaps and reducing product quality risks.

[0020] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the gear shaft 23 is configured to rotate counterclockwise.

[0021] It should be noted that all directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in the embodiments of the present invention are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0022] Furthermore, the use of terms such as "first" and "second" in this invention is for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features. Meanwhile, the word "and / or" throughout the text means including three solutions; for example, "A and / or B" includes solution A, solution B, or a solution that simultaneously satisfies A and B. Additionally, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but this must be based on the ability of those skilled in the art to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by this invention.

[0023] All of the above components are general standard parts or components known to those skilled in the art. Their structure and principles can be learned by those skilled in the art through technical manuals or conventional experimental methods.

[0024] The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative examples illustrating the spirit of this utility model.
