Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metal processing and galvanizing technology, specifically to an automatic feeding mechanism for galvanizing. Background Technology

[0002] Hot-dip galvanizing, also known as zinc plating, is a process that involves immersing metals such as steel, stainless steel, and cast iron into molten zinc or alloy to obtain a coating. Hot-dip galvanizing is an effective method of metal corrosion protection, primarily used in metal structures across various industries. It plays an immeasurable and irreplaceable role in reducing corrosion, extending the service life of steel components, and saving energy and materials. The process mainly involves immersing rust-removed steel parts in molten zinc at approximately 500°C, causing a zinc layer to adhere to the surface of the steel components, thereby achieving corrosion protection.

[0003] A search revealed a utility model patent in China with patent publication number CN217997288U, which discloses an automatic galvanizing feeding mechanism. The mechanism generally includes a base, a mounting plate and a zinc bath fixed on the base, an electric slide rail on the mounting plate, and a transport mechanism for feeding the metal parts to be galvanized into the zinc bath. In use, the transport mechanism allows for automated galvanizing operations on the metal parts without the need for on-site personnel, reducing the risk of exposure to galvanizing chemicals. The sliding mechanism allows the operator to move the metal parts while operating the rotating mechanism. The moving wire mesh plate shifts left and right, causing the metal parts to vibrate in the zinc bath, improving the galvanizing quality and increasing work efficiency. However, the above device still has some shortcomings. For example, after the metal parts are galvanized, they need to be automatically clamped out of the galvanizing bath by an electric push rod and an electric clamping device. This clamping and discharging method can clamp a small number of galvanized metal parts at a time, which is not convenient for clamping out all the galvanized metal parts. This will cause more metal parts to accumulate in the galvanizing bath without being clamped out, which will cause the galvanizing time to be disordered, affect the galvanizing effect, and reduce the discharge and feeding efficiency of the galvanized metal parts. Therefore, we propose an automatic galvanizing feeding mechanism. Utility Model Content

[0025] Example

[0026] Please see Figures 1-4 An automatic galvanizing feeding mechanism, comprising:

[0027] Base 1, with a galvanizing tank 2 fixedly connected to base 1;

[0028] The feeding galvanizing mechanism is mounted on the base 1 and includes a mounting frame 3 and two support plates 4. The mounting frame 3 and the two support plates 4 are fixedly connected to the base 1. A conveyor belt 5 is mounted on the mounting frame 3, and a mounting plate 6 is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 3. An electric cylinder 7 is mounted through the mounting plate 6, and a guide plate 8 is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric cylinder 7. A rotating shaft 9 is rotatably connected between the two support plates 4. A motor 10 is mounted on one of the support plates 4, and the output end of the motor 10 passes through the support plate 4. Plate 4 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 9. Two support frames 11 are fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 9. Four grooves 12 are rotatably connected to the support frames 11. The eight grooves 12 are in pairs. A fixing pipe 13 is detachably connected between two grooves 12. A wire basket 14 is fixedly connected to the fixing pipe 13 through two connecting plates. The mounting frame 3 and the conveyor belt 5 are used for feeding materials. The support frames 11, wire basket 14, etc. are used to place metal parts and send the metal parts into the galvanizing bath 2 for galvanizing. This makes it convenient to take out metal parts of the same batch at the same time and improves the galvanizing effect.

[0029] Two limiting rods 15 are slidably connected inside the fixed tube 13. One end of the limiting rod 15 is located in the groove 12. A spring 16 is provided between the two limiting rods 15. A control block is fixedly connected to the limiting rod 15. The control block passes through the fixed tube 13 through the control port.

[0030] An auxiliary ring 17 is fixedly connected to the control block to facilitate the workers to merge the two control blocks and remove the fixing pipe 13, net basket 14, etc.

[0031] Two fixed plates are fixedly connected to the galvanizing tank 2. An electric cylinder 18 is installed through the fixed plates. A clamping plate 19 is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric cylinder 18 for clamping and fixing the wire basket 14 during feeding.

[0032] Two telescopic rods 20 are fixedly connected through the mounting plate 6. The guide plate 8 is fixedly connected to the telescopic rods 20 to improve the stability and firmness of the guide plate 8.

[0033] Two side plates 21 are fixedly connected to the deflector 8 to prevent metal parts from falling off the side of the deflector 8.

[0034] It should be further explained that the conveyor belt 5, motor 10, electric cylinder 7 and electric cylinder 18 in this embodiment are conventional equipment known to those skilled in the art and available on the market. Models can be selected or customized according to actual needs. In this patent, we only use them without improving their structure and function. Their setting method, installation method and electrical connection method can be debugged and operated by those skilled in the art according to the requirements of their instruction manual, and will not be described in detail here. The conveyor belt 5, motor 10, electric cylinder 7 and electric cylinder 18 are equipped with matching control switches. The installation position of the control switches can be selected according to actual use needs to facilitate operation and control by the operator.

[0035] In summary, the working principle and process of this automatic galvanizing feeding mechanism are as follows: First, the automatic galvanizing feeding mechanism is placed at the desired location. Then, during use, the conveyor belt 5 is started, and the operator places metal parts onto the conveyor belt 5 sequentially. The conveyor belt 5 then transports and moves the metal parts, allowing multiple metal parts to enter the corresponding mesh basket 14 through the guide plate 8. After adding an appropriate amount of metal parts to the mesh basket 14, the electric cylinder 7 is started, causing the guide plate 8 to retract. At this point, the guide plate 8 will no longer affect the mesh basket 14. The electric cylinder 18 is then started, causing the clamping plate 19 to retract and no longer clamp the mesh basket 14. Finally, the motor 10 is started, driving the rotating shaft 9... The support frame 11 rotates, and because the groove 12 is rotatably connected to the support frame 11, the basket 14 will continue to descend due to gravity. The basket 14 containing the metal parts enters the galvanizing tank 2 to galvanize the metal parts, while another basket 14 moves to the conveyor belt 5. Then, the clamping plate 19 tightens the basket 14, and the guide plate 8 extends, allowing the metal parts to be added. After galvanizing and feeding are completed, multiple baskets 14 continue to rotate. At this time, the worker uses their hands to grab the two auxiliary rings 17, causing the two limit rods 15 to enter the fixed tube 13. The limit rods 15 move out of the slot, and the galvanized metal parts can be removed. Then, the empty basket 14 is replaced, and this cycle is repeated.

[0036] The above embodiments merely illustrate specific implementations of this utility model, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
