Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steel wire production technology, specifically to a degreasing auxiliary tank structure for quickly removing scum. Background Technology
[0002] The wire degreasing tank is a key pretreatment equipment in steel wire production. It is mainly used to remove residual drawing lubricants (such as soap powder, borax or grease) from the surface of the steel wire, in preparation for subsequent heat treatment, electroplating and other processes.
[0003] The surface grease is dissolved by immersing a steel wire in an alkaline solution (such as a mixture containing NaOH and surfactants) in a degreasing tank, through chemical degreasing (saponification reaction, emulsification).
[0004] To maintain the stability of the degreasing process, a degreasing auxiliary tank is set up to form a water circulation system with the degreasing tank to adjust the parameters of the main tank liquid in real time. Specifically, liquid is added through the liquid addition component in the auxiliary tank, and excess tank liquid is discharged through overflow, thereby adjusting the concentration of alkali in the tank to achieve the dissolution balance of saponified substances, so that it can effectively clean the steel wire.
[0005] Existing degreasing auxiliary tanks use a single overflow pipe structure for liquid level control. When the tank level exceeds a preset height, the excess liquid is discharged through the overflow pipe. However, in actual use, the circulating liquid contains saponification reaction products and surfactants, generating foam during circulation. This foam floats on the surface and accumulates continuously during circulation. Although the overflow pipe can drain the liquid, its size limitation prevents effective foam removal, leading to a large accumulation of foam in the tank and causing overflow, thus polluting the working environment. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a degreasing auxiliary tank structure for quickly cleaning scum, which can remove scum from the degreasing auxiliary tank, prevent scum from accumulating too high and overflowing from the degreasing auxiliary tank, and prevent it from polluting the working environment.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a degreasing auxiliary tank structure for quickly cleaning scum, comprising an auxiliary tank body, wherein an overflow component is provided in the auxiliary tank body, the overflow component comprising two overflow plates disposed between opposite side walls of the auxiliary tank body, the lower ends of the two overflow plates being connected to a bottom plate, the overflow plates, the side walls of the auxiliary tank body and the bottom plate together forming an overflow channel with an open top, and an outlet communicating with the overflow channel is provided on the side wall of the auxiliary tank body.
[0008] A further improvement of this utility model is that the overflow plate extends along the width direction of the auxiliary tank, and its two ends are respectively sealed and connected to the corresponding side walls of the auxiliary tank.
[0009] A further improvement of this invention is that the top of the overflow plate is higher than the normal working liquid level of the auxiliary tank and lower than the top of the side wall of the auxiliary tank.
[0010] A further improvement of this utility model is that auxiliary spray heads are respectively provided on the upper sides of the overflow tank. The two auxiliary spray heads are arranged at an angle, and the spray trajectory of the auxiliary spray heads passes over the overflow plate corresponding to them, and finally the sprayed liquid flows into the overflow tank.
[0011] A further improvement of this utility model is that the axis of the auxiliary spray head forms an angle of 30-60° with the horizontal plane.
[0012] A further improvement of this utility model is that a horizontal pipe is provided on the wall of the auxiliary tank, two auxiliary spray heads are arranged at both ends of the horizontal pipe, and a water inlet interface is provided in the middle of the horizontal pipe to facilitate water intake.
[0013] A further improvement of this utility model is that adjustable-angle rotary joints are connected to both ends of the horizontal pipe, and the auxiliary spray head is set on the rotary joint and communicates with the horizontal pipe.
[0014] A further improvement of this utility model is that the bottom plate is inclined, and its lower end is connected to the side wall of the auxiliary tank with a discharge port.
[0015] A further improvement of this utility model is that the auxiliary tank is provided with a drain port, the drain port is connected to a drain pipe, and the outlet is connected to the drain pipe through a discharge pipe.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0017] This invention features an overflow trough with two overflow plates that collect foam from both sides. Compared to existing overflow pipes, this significantly increases the collection range, effectively removing foam from the degreasing auxiliary tank and preventing excessive foam buildup that could overflow and pollute the working environment.
[0018] This invention generates directional water flow by setting auxiliary spray heads, and pushes the foam on the edge of the overflow plate into the overflow trough through the sprayed water flow, further reducing foam accumulation and preventing excessive accumulation.
[0019] This invention utilizes an inclined base plate to guide scum towards the discharge outlet using gravity, accelerating the discharge process and reducing sediment residue. Furthermore, the discharge outlet is connected to the emptying pipe via a discharge pipe, utilizing the existing discharge pipe of the degreasing auxiliary tank, thus improving pipeline utilization and simplifying external pipeline configuration.

[0023] The present invention will be further explained below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0024] Example 1: Combination Figures 1-2 It is known that a degreasing auxiliary tank structure for quickly cleaning scum includes an auxiliary tank body 1. An overflow component is provided inside the auxiliary tank body 1. The overflow component includes two overflow plates 2 disposed between opposite side walls of the auxiliary tank body 1. The lower ends of the two overflow plates 2 are connected to a bottom plate 3. The overflow plates 2, the side walls of the auxiliary tank body 1 and the bottom plate 3 together form an overflow trough 4 with an open top. An outlet 5 communicating with the overflow trough 4 is provided on the side wall of the auxiliary tank body 1.
[0025] The overflow plate 2 extends along the width of the auxiliary tank 1, and its two ends are respectively sealed to the corresponding side walls of the auxiliary tank 1.
[0026] The top of the overflow plate 2 is higher than the normal working liquid level of the auxiliary tank 1 and lower than the top of the side wall of the auxiliary tank 1.
[0027] Auxiliary spray heads 6 are respectively installed on the upper sides of the overflow tank 4. The two auxiliary spray heads 6 are set at an angle, and the spray trajectory of the auxiliary spray heads 6 passes over the overflow plate 2 corresponding to them, and finally the sprayed liquid flows into the overflow tank 4. Preferably, the axis of the auxiliary spray head 6 forms an angle of 30-60° with the horizontal plane.
[0028] The auxiliary tank 1 has a horizontal pipe 7 on its wall, and two auxiliary spray heads 6 are located at both ends of the horizontal pipe 7. The middle of the horizontal pipe 7 has a water inlet for easy water intake. In the existing degreasing auxiliary tank, there is a liquid addition component for controlling the concentration in the tank. The liquid addition component will add liquid periodically to regulate the concentration of alkali solution in the tank.
[0029] The horizontal pipe 7 has adjustable-angle rotary joints connected to both ends. An auxiliary spray head 6 is mounted on the rotary joint and communicates with the horizontal pipe 7. The rotary joint is a conventional joint in the prior art capable of adjusting and fixing its angle. Preferably, the rotary joint has at least three angle settings: 30°, 45°, and 60°.
[0030] The base plate 3 is inclined, and its lower end is connected to the side wall of the auxiliary tank 1, which has a discharge port 5.
[0031] See Figure 2 , Figure 2 The diagram shows an auxiliary tank 1, an overflow plate 2, a bottom plate 3, a drain pipe 8, and a discharge pipe 9. The auxiliary tank 1 has a drain port, which is connected to the drain pipe 8. The discharge outlet 5 is connected to the drain pipe 8 through the discharge pipe 9. When the auxiliary tank 1 needs to be emptied, the drain port is opened, and the liquid in the tank is discharged through the drain pipe 9.
[0032] The existing degreasing auxiliary tank is also equipped with an inlet and an outlet that are connected to the main degreasing tank, so that the tank liquid can be circulated with the main degreasing tank through the inlet and outlet.
[0033] The working principle of the degreasing auxiliary tank structure for quickly removing scum provided by the utility model is as follows:
[0034] During operation, foam gradually accumulates as it circulates. After the liquid is added by the liquid adding component, the foam rises naturally with the liquid level and gradually drifts towards the overflow plate 2. When the liquid level exceeds the height of the overflow plate 2, the foam on both sides is collected by two overflow plates 2 that match the width of the auxiliary tank 1. The foam overflows with the surface liquid over the overflow plates 2 on both sides and enters the top-open overflow tank 4 for discharge. During the discharge process, the angled auxiliary spray head 6 can be activated to spray water onto the foam on the liquid surface, pushing the foam over the overflow plate 2 and into the overflow tank 4. The auxiliary spray head 6 can also push the accumulated foam before the liquid level exceeds the height of the overflow plate 2, preventing the foam from accumulating too high and overflowing the auxiliary tank 1. The foam-containing liquid entering the overflow 4 flows along the inclined bottom plate 3 to the outlet 5 and is finally discharged through the discharge pipe 9.
