Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of valve block processing equipment technology, and in particular to a placement rack for drying valve blocks. Background Technology
[0002] Hydraulic valve blocks are control elements in hydraulic systems, used to control the pressure, flow rate, and flow direction of fluids within the system, thereby meeting the different operational requirements of various actuators. Due to their advantages such as compact structure, good sealing performance, and convenient maintenance, they are widely used in various hydraulic transmission systems.
[0003] After machining, the valve block will have debris and oil stains on its surface and inside the channels, requiring cleaning. After cleaning, residual cleaning water will remain on the surface and inside the channels, necessitating drying. Since each face of the valve block has holes, and existing valve block drying fixtures often fail to maintain stable clamping without shielding all six faces, heat exchange between the valve block surface and its channels and hot air is easily obstructed. Therefore, improvements are necessary. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of the prior art, this application provides a valve block drying rack that enables batch clamping of valve blocks of different sizes and allows for more thorough and rapid heat exchange between the valve block surface and its channels and hot air during drying, thereby improving drying efficiency.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention employs the following technology:
[0006] A valve block drying rack includes a mounting base and a clamping assembly rotatably mounted thereon. The clamping assembly includes a first rectangular frame and a second rectangular frame that are identical in structure, parallel and correspondingly arranged. The distance between the first rectangular frame and the second rectangular frame is adjustable. Multiple limiting components are provided on the outer sides of the first rectangular frame and the second rectangular frame along the length direction.
[0007] The limiting component includes a first T-shaped plate that is slidably installed on the outside of the first rectangular frame and parallel to its width direction, and a second T-shaped plate that is slidably installed on the outside of the second rectangular frame and parallel to the first T-shaped plate. The small ends of the first T-shaped plate and the second T-shaped plate are arranged opposite to each other, and the first T-shaped plate and the second T-shaped plate are connected by an elastic connector.
[0008] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0009] 1. The setting of multiple limit components enables the placement rack to be suitable for clamping multiple valve blocks, which is suitable for assembly line operation and improves production efficiency;
[0010] 2. The movable limit component and the adjustable distance between the first and second rectangular frames make the placement rack suitable for clamping valve blocks of different sizes, which is highly practical.
[0011] 3. The corresponding arrangement of the first T-shaped plate and the second T-shaped plate ensures that the placement rack does not obstruct the six sides of the valve block when clamping it, and exposes all the holes on it. This allows the residual cleaning water in the valve block's channels to be shaken out during drying, and also allows the surface of the valve block and its channels to exchange heat with the hot air more fully and quickly, thus improving drying efficiency.

[0017] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present utility model clearer, the implementation methods of the present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the embodiments described in the present utility model are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0018] This application provides a placement rack for drying valve blocks, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes a mounting base 1 and a clamping assembly rotatably mounted thereon. The clamping assembly can be driven to rotate by a motor, which can be mounted on the mounting base 1. The clamping assembly includes a first rectangular frame 2 and a second rectangular frame 3 that are identical in structure, parallel and correspondingly arranged. The distance between the first rectangular frame 2 and the second rectangular frame 3 is adjustable. Multiple limiting components 4 are provided on the outer sides of the first rectangular frame 2 and the second rectangular frame 3 along the length direction.
[0019] The limiting component 4 includes a first T-shaped plate 41 slidably mounted on the outside of the first rectangular frame 2 and parallel to its width direction, and a second T-shaped plate 42 slidably mounted on the outside of the second rectangular frame 3 and parallel to the first T-shaped plate 41. The small ends of the first T-shaped plate 41 and the second T-shaped plate 42 are arranged opposite each other to ensure that the right-angle segments of the first T-shaped plate 41 and the second T-shaped plate 42 can be arranged facing inward. The plane formed by the two is perpendicular to the length direction of the first rectangular frame 2, that is, the first T-shaped plate 41 and the second T-shaped plate 42 can form a vertical correspondence. The first T-shaped plate 41 and the second T-shaped plate 42 are connected by an elastic connector 43. While ensuring that the first T-shaped plate 41 and the second T-shaped plate 42 can maintain consistent movement in the length direction of the first rectangular frame 2, the distance between the two can automatically follow the change in distance between the first rectangular frame 2 and the second rectangular frame 3. The dimensions of the first T-shaped plate 41 and the second T-shaped plate 42 should be carefully set so that they are not too large. They only need to cover the right-angle section of the valve block to avoid excessive obstruction of the six sides of the valve block and to expose all the holes on it.
[0020] In application, the right-angled segments on both sides of the first T-plate 41 and the second T-plate 42 are used to clamp the upper and lower right-angled segments of the valve block, respectively. The two opposite right-angled segments of the first T-plate 41 or the second T-plate 42 in the adjacent limiting components 4 are used to clamp the left and right right-angled segments of the valve block, thereby simultaneously limiting all four right-angled segments of the valve block and completing the clamping and fixing of the valve block without obstructing the holes on the six faces of the valve block. Specifically, the operation is as follows: adjust the distance between the two adjacent limiting components 4, and use the first T-plate 41 in the two adjacent limiting components 4 to clamp the lower left and right right-angled segments of the valve block. Adjust the distance between the first rectangular frame 2 and the second rectangular frame 3 so that the corresponding two second T-plates 42 clamp the upper left and right right-angled segments of the valve block. Then, the rack is placed in the drying chamber, and the rotation of the clamping assembly on the mounting base 1 is used to shake out the residual cleaning water in the valve block channel, while the valve block surface and its channels can have a more thorough and rapid heat exchange with the hot air, thus improving the drying efficiency.
[0021] Specifically, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the elastic connector 43 includes two sliders 431 that are slidably installed on both sides of the outside of the first rectangular frame 2 and are arranged parallel to its height direction. The sliders 431 are hollow inside and a movable column 432 is slidably inserted inside them along their own length direction. The movable column 432 is connected to both ends of the second T-shaped plate 42 by a connecting rod 433. A spring 434 is sleeved on the connecting rod 433. The spring 434 abuts against the inner top surface of the slider 431 and the movable column 432. When the distance between the corresponding first T-shaped plate 41 and the second T-shaped plate 42 is a predetermined minimum value, the spring 434 is in a natural or compressed state. The two ends of the first T-shaped plate 41 are respectively connected to the outer walls of the two sliders 431.
[0022] Specifically, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the outer two sides of the first rectangular frame 2 are provided with grooves 21 along its length direction, and the slider 431 slides in cooperation with the grooves 21 through the protrusions provided thereon.
[0023] Specifically, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a first positioning groove 31 is formed through one side of the second rectangular frame 3 along its length. A first positioning hole 421 is formed at one end of the second T-shaped plate 42 corresponding to the first positioning groove 31. The first positioning hole 421 is used to install a locking screw to fix the second T-shaped plate 42. The above structure can prevent relative displacement between the limiting component 4 and the first rectangular frame 2, and prevent displacement of the second T-shaped plate 42 in the height direction of the first rectangular frame 2, thereby improving stability during use.
[0024] Specifically, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, multiple limiting blocks 5 are slidably provided on the first T-shaped plate 41 or the second T-shaped plate 42 along its own length direction. The limiting blocks 5 are used to prevent the valve block from sliding along the width direction of the first rectangular frame 2. A second positioning groove 6 is provided through the first T-shaped plate 41 or the second T-shaped plate 42 along its own length direction. A second positioning hole 51 is provided on the limiting block 5 corresponding to the second positioning groove 6. The second positioning hole 51 is used to install locking screws to fix the limiting block 5. By limiting the two ends of the valve block through the two limiting blocks 5, the valve block can be prevented from moving along the width direction of the first rectangular frame 2. The setting of the limiting blocks 5 not only improves the clamping and fixing effect of the valve block, but also plays a role in separating the valve blocks when multiple valve blocks are clamped by two adjacent limiting components 4, preventing the two adjacent valve blocks from sticking together and obscuring the surface of the valve block. The size of the limiting blocks 5 should not be too large, it is only necessary to limit the two ends of the valve block.
[0025] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a screw 7, threaded through the first rectangular frame 2, is vertically and rotatably provided at one corner of the second rectangular frame 3, while guide rods 8, slidably passing through the first rectangular frame 2, are vertically provided at the other triangular parts of the second rectangular frame 3. The distance between the first rectangular frame 2 and the second rectangular frame 3 can be adjusted by manually rotating the screw 7.
[0026] In application, the above description is only a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this application without departing from the spirit and scope of this application.
