Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steel cord production technology, and in particular to a steel wire surface cleaning device during the steel wire drawing process in steel cord production. Background Technology

[0002] In the production process of steel cord for automobile tires, the steel wires need to be drawn according to the specifications of the cord. The drawing process generally requires applying drawing lubricating powder to the surface of the steel wires to form a lubricating film between the drawn metal and the die wall, reducing friction between the interface, extending the service life of the die, and ensuring the surface quality of the product.

[0003] After the wire drawing process, the lubricating powder on the surface of the steel wire needs to be cleaned and removed before proceeding to the next step. The typical process involves directly immersing the steel wire in hot water to clean its surface, which requires a relatively long soaking time. If the immersion time is too short, the cleaning effect will be poor, and lubricating powder will remain on the surface of the steel wire. To improve the cleaning effect, the wire's moving speed needs to be reduced, or the length of immersion needs to be increased. Reducing the wire's moving speed will lead to a decrease in production efficiency. Increasing the immersion length will result in a larger cleaning equipment, thus requiring modifications to the cleaning equipment. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the problems existing in the prior art and to propose a steel wire surface cleaning device in the steel cord production process.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

The scrubbing tank has multiple partitioned sections inside, with adjacent partitioned sections connected to each other. Each partitioned section has at least two partitions welded in it, and each pair of partitions is set at a certain angle to each other. A steel wool ball is placed between each pair of partitions.

[0008] The rinsing mechanism includes a rinsing pipe, a circulating pump, and a connecting pipe. The rinsing pipe is installed in the mounting section, the circulating pump is connected to the cleaning tank, and the circulating pump is connected to the rinsing pipe through the connecting pipe.

The circulation pump 6 is connected to the cleaning tank 1. The circulation pump 6 is connected to the rinsing pipe 4 through the connecting pipe 8. The circulation pump 6 uses high-pressure water to flow into the rinsing pipe 4 to rinse the steel wire.

[0029] The drying mechanism includes an air blowing device 5, which is used to dry the steel wire.

[0030] The cleaning tank 1 has a first cavity and a second cavity inside, which are located below the brushing mechanism and the rinsing mechanism, respectively. The mounting part includes a first mounting part and a second mounting part, with the brushing mechanism installed in the first mounting part and the rinsing mechanism installed in the second mounting part.

[0031] The washing mechanism includes a washing tank 2, which is fixedly installed in the first mounting part and connected to the side plate of the first mounting part. A lifting pump 7 is installed on the rear side of the first mounting part. The lifting pump 7 includes a first working end and a second working end. The first working end of the lifting pump 7 is connected to the cleaning tank 1, and the second working end of the lifting pump 7 passes through the side plate of the first mounting part and is connected to the washing tank 2. A heating pipe 3 is installed on one side of the lifting pump 7. The heating part of the heating pipe 3 is located in the first cavity. Both the heating pipe 3 and the lifting pump 7 are installed on the top of the cleaning tank 1.

[0032] The bottom of the scrubbing tank 2 is provided with a water inlet channel for connecting to the second working end of the booster pump 7. The top of the scrubbing tank is not sealed, and there are gaps between the two ends of the scrubbing tank and the side wall of the first mounting part to facilitate the overflow of water in the scrubbing tank 2 back into the first cavity.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment, the internal partition groove of the scrubbing tank is provided with 8 sections, and the softness and density of the steel wool balls provided therein can be gradually graded. In this way, the cleaning effect of the steel wool surface can be guaranteed by segmented cleaning without scratching the surface of the steel wool.

The water inlet 11, the overflow outlet 12 and the drain outlet 13 are all welded to the cleaning tank 1.

[0037] When the equipment is working, the heating tube 3 first heats the cleaning fluid in the first cavity. The steel wire is then inserted into the scrubbing tank 2 from one end. Due to the tapered shape between the partitions 21, the steel wool 22 keeps in close contact with the steel wire as it moves forward. The lifting pump 7 draws the heated liquid from the first cavity into the scrubbing tank 2, immersing the steel wire in hot water. Under the action of hot water immersion and scrubbing by the steel wool 22, the lubricating powder on the surface of the steel wire is greatly removed. Then, the steel wire is inserted into the flushing pipe 4 of the flushing mechanism. The high-pressure water flow generated by the circulating pump 6 drawing water from the second cavity is used to flush the surface of the steel wire with high-pressure water, further removing the lubricating powder. Finally, the steel wire passes through the air blowing device 5, which uses compressed air to blow away the water droplets on the surface of the steel wire, making the surface of the steel wire clean and dry.

[0038] This invention features a brushing mechanism that uses a lift pump 7 to pump hot water from the first cavity to a brushing tank, immersing the steel wire in hot water and then brushing it with a steel wool ball 22. This effectively removes lubricating powder from the steel wire surface with high efficiency. A rinsing mechanism uses a circulating pump 6 to generate high-pressure water to rinse the steel wire surface, removing water stains containing lubricating powder left over from brushing and further removing the lubricating powder. A drying mechanism uses compressed air generated by an air blowing device 5 to blow away water droplets from the steel wire surface, preventing water stains and ensuring the wire remains dry for subsequent processing. An overflow port 12 effectively controls the water level in the cavity, and a drain port 13 facilitates the timely discharge of wastewater. The lift pump 7 and circulating pump 6 enable water circulation, saving resources and improving production efficiency.
