Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pickling equipment, specifically to a pickling tank with a self-cleaning function. Background Technology
[0002] Pickling is a process that uses acidic solutions to remove oxide scale, rust, and other impurities from metal surfaces. It is commonly used for surface treatment of metals such as steel, stainless steel, copper, and aluminum.
[0003] Pickling operations are generally carried out in pickling tanks. During the pickling process, metal salts and impurities are generated. These impurities will be deposited on the bottom or side walls of the tank. Over time, the deposits will accumulate and may clog the pipes. Therefore, pickling tanks are usually cleaned regularly. During pickling, in order to prevent the acidic substances in the deposits from causing damage to the human body, workers need to wear protective equipment such as protective clothing, gloves, face shields and goggles.
[0004] While manual cleaning of pickling tanks can effectively remove deposits, it is inefficient and may cause safety accidents during the process. Therefore, a self-cleaning pickling tank is needed to replace the current manual cleaning method. Utility Model Content
[0005] This utility model aims to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background section above, and proposes the following technical solutions:
[0006] A pickling tank with self-cleaning function includes a pickling tank and a cleaning device. The pickling tank has a semi-circular internal structure. The cleaning device is installed on one side of the pickling tank and includes a cleaning turntable, a rotating shaft, a motor mounting sleeve, and a rotating motor. A mounting block is provided on one edge of the pickling tank, and a threaded hole is provided on the mounting block. The motor mounting sleeve is fixed to one side of the threaded hole. The rotating motor is fixedly installed inside the motor mounting sleeve. One end of the rotating motor is connected to a rotating shaft sleeve, which is a cylindrical structure with one open end. The rotating shaft is located inside the rotating shaft sleeve, and a plurality of sliding grooves are provided inside the rotating shaft sleeve. A plurality of sliders are provided on the outer periphery of the end of the rotating shaft, and the sliders are slidably connected to the sliding grooves. The front end of the rotating shaft passes through the threaded hole, and the outer periphery of the rotating shaft is threadedly connected to the threaded hole. The cleaning turntable is located inside the pickling tank and fixed to the front end of the rotating shaft. A plurality of cleaning brushes are provided on the outer periphery of the cleaning turntable.
[0007] Preferably, the cleaning turntable has a semi-circular structure.
[0008] Preferably, a drain outlet is provided at one end of the pickling tank, and a sealing plug is provided on the drain outlet.
[0009] Preferably, the pickling tank is hinged to a protective cover on its side, and the protective cover has a semi-circular structure.
[0010] Preferably, the protective cover is made of a transparent material.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0012] 1. This utility model provides a cleaning device installed in the pickling tank. The cleaning device uses a motor-controlled cleaning turntable to clean the pickling tank, which can effectively scrape off the deposits remaining on the inner wall of the pickling tank after pickling, eliminating the need for manual cleaning. This not only saves time and effort but also avoids the harm to the human body caused by acidic substances during manual operation.
[0013] 2. By setting a drain outlet at one end of the pickling tank, after the acidic deposits in the pickling tank are scraped off, the cleaning turntable will push the scraped residue to the drain outlet, and finally the staff can discharge the deposits from the pickling tank from the drain outlet.
[0014] 3. By installing a flip-up protective cover on the side of the pickling tank, the cover can be placed over the pickling tank while the cleaning turntable is working, which can prevent the cleaning turntable from throwing out the deposits during the cleaning process.

[0023] Example 1
[0024] Reference Figure 1-2 A pickling tank with a cleaning function includes a pickling tank 1 and a cleaning device 2. The pickling tank 1 has a semi-circular internal structure. The cleaning device 2 is installed on one side of the pickling tank 1. The cleaning device 2 includes a cleaning turntable 2-1, a rotating shaft 2-2, a motor mounting sleeve 2-3, and a rotating motor 2-4. A mounting block 3 is provided on one edge of the pickling tank 1, and a threaded hole 3-1 is provided on the mounting block 3. The motor mounting sleeve 2-3 is fixed to one side of the threaded hole 3-1. The rotating motor 2-4 is fixedly installed inside the motor mounting sleeve 2-3. The end is connected to the rotating shaft sleeve 4, which is a cylindrical structure with one end open. The rotating shaft 2-2 is located inside the rotating shaft sleeve 4. Several sliding grooves 4-1 are provided inside the rotating shaft sleeve 4. Several sliders 5 are provided on the outer periphery of the end of the rotating shaft 2-2. The sliders 5 are slidably connected to the sliding grooves 4-1 respectively. The front end of the rotating shaft 2-2 passes through the threaded hole 3-1 and the outer periphery of the rotating shaft 2-2 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole 3-1. The cleaning turntable 2-1 is located in the pickling tank 1 and fixed to the front end of the rotating shaft 2-2. Several cleaning brushes 6 are provided on the outer periphery of the cleaning turntable 2-1.
[0025] Preferably, the cleaning turntable 2-1 has a semi-circular structure.
[0026] In actual operation, when cleaning the pickling tank, first drain the liquid in the pickling tank 1, then start the rotating motor 2-4 to make the rotating motor 2-4 work, and at the same time drive the rotating shaft sleeve 4 connected to the rotating motor 2-4 to rotate. The rotating shaft 2-2 located inside the rotating shaft sleeve 4 will rotate synchronously with the rotating shaft sleeve 4 because the slider 5 installed on its side is slidably connected to the sliding groove 4-1 on the inner wall of the rotating shaft sleeve 4. Also, because the rotating shaft sleeve 4 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole 3-1 on the mounting block 3, the rotating shaft 2-2 will move laterally while rotating. The cleaning turntable 2-1 installed at the front end of the rotating shaft 2-2 will also gradually move to the other side of the pickling tank 1 as the rotating shaft 2-2 rotates. During the rotation of the cleaning turntable 2-1, the cleaning brush 6 will also scrape off the deposits on the inner wall of the pickling tank 1.
[0027] Example 2
[0028] Reference Figure 3 The difference between this embodiment and embodiment one is that a drain outlet 7 is provided at one end of the pickling tank 1, and a sealing plug 8 is provided on the drain outlet 7.
[0029] Example 3
[0030] Reference Figure 4 The difference between this embodiment and embodiment one is that the protective cover 9 is hinged to the side of the pickling tank 1. The protective cover 9 has a semi-circular structure and is made of transparent material. Using the protective cover 9 can effectively solve the problem of throwing the deposits out of the pickling tank during the operation of the cleaning turntable 2-1.
