Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steel surface treatment technology, and in particular to a post-treatment device for hardening the surface of spray-formed steel. Background Technology
[0002] Spray forming technology, as an advanced rapid solidification material preparation process, demonstrates significant advantages in manufacturing high-performance special steels due to its ability to effectively refine microstructure, reduce segregation, and improve material properties. To further enhance the surface hardness, wear resistance, and fatigue strength of such steels, surface hardening treatment is typically required. However, the surface of the spray-formed steel workpiece after hardening often retains processing media, oxide scale, or other process contaminants. These residues not only affect the appearance quality of the workpiece but may also impair the adhesion of subsequent coatings, precision assembly accuracy, or direct service performance. Therefore, efficient and thorough cleaning of the hardened surface is an indispensable and critical post-processing step.
[0003] However, spray-formed workpieces may have complex curved surfaces or irregular geometries, making it difficult for rigid cleaning tools to fully adhere to the surface, especially in deep grooves, inner holes, or angular areas, which can easily create cleaning dead zones and result in incomplete removal of residues. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to at least solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art, and to provide a post-treatment device for surface hardening of spray-formed steel, which solves the problem that traditional rigid tools cannot effectively adhere to the surface of the workpiece, resulting in "cleaning dead corners" and incomplete removal of residues.
[0005] This utility model also provides a post-treatment device for surface hardening of the above-mentioned spray-formed steel, comprising: a worktable, a clamping assembly, and a cleaning assembly. A guide rail is fixedly connected to the top of the worktable. The clamping assembly includes a connecting plate, and an electric telescopic rod is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting plate. A clamping block is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric telescopic rod. The cleaning assembly includes a rotating disk, a sliding support frame, and a motor. The sliding support frame slides on the guide rail. A damping rod is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the rotating disk, and a spring is sleeved on the damping rod. A brush is fixedly connected to one side of the damping rod. A gear is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor, and the gear meshes with the outer tooth surface of the rotating disk. A connecting block is fixedly connected to one side of the sliding support frame, and a rotating rod is rotatably connected to one side of the connecting block. The rotating disk has an internal mounting groove for the rotating rod to rotate, providing stable support for the cleaning assembly and enabling its movement along the workpiece axial direction, thus expanding the cleaning range.
[0006] According to the post-treatment device for surface hardening of spray-formed steel described in this utility model, a water pump is fixedly connected to the top of the sliding support frame, and a nozzle is fixedly connected to the output end of the water pump. The nozzle is set towards the center area of the rotating disk to ensure that the liquid can be accurately sprayed onto the surface of the clamped workpiece, thereby improving the utilization rate and treatment effect.
[0007] According to the post-treatment device for surface hardening of spray-formed steel described in this utility model, a water collection box is fixedly connected to the bottom of the workbench, and a filter plate is fixedly installed at the top opening of the water collection box to prevent it from entering the bottom of the water collection box and the circulation pipeline, thus protecting the water pump and nozzle from being blocked.
[0008] According to the post-treatment device for surface hardening of spray-formed steel described in this utility model, the input end of the water pump extends into the interior of the water collection box through a pipe and is located below the filter plate, thus saving water resource costs.
[0009] According to the post-treatment device for surface hardening of spray-formed steel described in this utility model, the number of clamping components is four sets, which are fixedly connected to the four corners of the top of the workbench to ensure the stability of the workpiece during the processing and prevent loosening or displacement.
[0010] According to the post-treatment device for surface hardening of spray-formed steel described in this utility model, the damping rod, spring and brush constitute a cleaning unit, and multiple sets are provided. The multiple sets of cleaning units are uniformly fixedly connected to the inner wall of the rotating disk along the circumference of the rotating disk to ensure that all parts of the workpiece can be cleaned evenly and fully in the circumferential direction.
[0011] According to the post-treatment device for surface hardening of spray-formed steel described in this utility model, the rotation axis of the brush is aligned with the central axis of the clamping block when holding the workpiece, so as to avoid local excessive wear or uneven cleaning caused by misalignment of axes.
[0012] According to the post-treatment device for surface hardening of spray-formed steel described in this utility model, the input end of the water pump is connected to the water collection box through a retractable hose to ensure smooth operation of the equipment. Beneficial effects
[0013] This technical solution's post-treatment device for hardened spray-formed steel surface uses clamping components distributed at four corners to securely fix the workpiece. Combined with the combined motion of the rotating disc and the horizontal movement of the sliding support frame in the cleaning component, it drives the evenly distributed, elastic brushes on the inner circumference to approach the workpiece surface, ensuring that the brush rotation axis is aligned with the workpiece's central axis. This improves the uniformity and adaptability of the cleaning action on the workpiece surface, effectively avoiding cleaning dead corners or uneven force. At the same time, the synchronously directional spraying of liquid further ensures the uniformity of wetting in the cleaning area, ultimately achieving a highly efficient and uniform cleaning effect on the hardened surface of the spray-formed steel. Furthermore, the addition of a liquid recycling system improves processing efficiency and environmental friendliness. Attached Figure Description

[0022] This section will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present utility model. The preferred embodiments of the present utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings. The purpose of the drawings is to supplement the textual description with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical solution of the present utility model, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0023] Reference Figure 1-4 The present invention provides a post-treatment device for surface hardening of spray-formed steel, comprising: a workbench 1, a clamping assembly 2, and a cleaning assembly 3. The workbench 1 forms the basic platform of the device, with a guide rail 101 fixedly connected to its top and a water collection box 103 fixedly connected to its bottom. A filter plate 102 is fixedly installed at the top opening of the water collection box 103 for collecting and preliminarily filtering the liquid after use.
[0024] The clamping assembly 2 is used to fix the workpiece to be processed. There are four sets of clamping assemblies, which are fixedly connected to the four corners of the top of the workbench 1. Each clamping assembly 2 includes a connecting plate 201. An electric telescopic rod 202 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting plate 201. The output end of the electric telescopic rod 202 is fixedly connected to a clamping block 203 for directly contacting and clamping the workpiece.
[0025] The cleaning component 3 is the core part for performing surface cleaning. It mainly includes a rotating disk 301, a sliding support frame 302, and a motor 307. The sliding support frame 302 is slidably mounted on the guide rail 101 of the worktable 1 to achieve horizontal movement. The motor 307 is fixedly mounted on the sliding support frame 302, and its output end is fixedly connected to a gear 308. The gear 308 meshes with the tooth surface on the outer circumference of the rotating disk 301, thereby driving the rotating disk 301 to rotate.
[0026] On the inner wall of the rotating disk 301, multiple sets of cleaning units are uniformly fixedly connected along its circumference. Each cleaning unit consists of a damping rod 304, a spring 305 sleeved on the damping rod 304, and a brush 306 fixedly connected to one side of the damping rod 304.
[0027] Specifically, when the brush 306 contacts the workpiece surface, it can achieve a certain elastic extension and contraction through the cooperation of the spring 305 and the damping rod 304 to adapt to the workpiece contour. The rotation axis of the brush 306 is set to be aligned with the central axis when the clamping block 203 clamps the workpiece to ensure that the cleaning evenly covers the workpiece surface.
[0028] A connecting block 303 is fixedly connected to one side of the sliding support frame 302, and a rotating rod 3031 is rotatably connected to one side of the connecting block 303. Correspondingly, the interior of the rotating disk 301 is provided with a mounting groove 3011 for the rotating rod 3031 to rotate. This structure plays a supporting and stabilizing role when the rotating disk 301 rotates. In addition, a water pump 309 is fixedly connected to the top of the sliding support frame 302, and a nozzle 310 is fixedly connected to the output end of the water pump 309. The spray direction of the nozzle 310 is set towards the central area of the rotating disk 301 so as to spray liquid on the workpiece cleaning area.
[0029] Specifically, to achieve liquid recycling, the input end of the water pump 309 extends into the interior of the water collection box 103 through a pipe and is located below the filter plate 102 to draw the filtered liquid. The connecting pipe between the input end of the water pump 309 and the water collection box 103 is preferably a retractable flexible hose to accommodate the positional changes of the sliding support frame 302 when it moves on the guide rail 101, and to avoid pipe entanglement or obstruction of movement.
[0030] Working principle: During use, the workpiece to be processed is fixed on the worktable 1 by the clamping assemblies 2 at the four corners via the electric telescopic rod 202 driving the clamping blocks 203; the motor 307 is started, which drives the rotating disk 301 to rotate through the gear 308, while the sliding support frame 302 moves horizontally along the guide rail 101, causing the rotating disk 301 and the brushes 306 on its inner wall, which are elastically connected by the damping rod 304 and the spring 305, to approach and evenly clean the surface of the workpiece; at the same time, the water pump 309 draws the liquid that has been preliminarily filtered by the filter plate 102 in the water collection box 103 and sprays it onto the workpiece cleaning area through the nozzle 310; the liquid after use falls back, is filtered by the filter plate 102 and collected in the water collection box 103 for recycling.
[0031] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
