Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steel processing equipment, and in particular to a cleaning device for the oil cup of a sintering trolley wheel. Background Technology

[0002] Sintering is a crucial step in steel production. During the sintering process, sintering trolleys are typically used as transport equipment for the materials. These trolleys form a rotating chain between the head and tail wheels of the sintering machine. The upper horizontal section receives the sintering mixture, which is then preheated, ignited, sintered, cooled, and turned over before being transported to the blast furnace area and returning to the head wheel, thus forming a transmission cycle. Dust generated during the sintering trolley transport process, such as iron powder and iron filings, as well as the dried deposits formed by the lubricating oil mixed with dust under high temperatures, can easily enter the bearing assemblies along with the lubricating oil during the lubrication process. This not only easily leads to inadequate lubrication of the bearing assemblies but also causes wear on the wheel axles. Furthermore, the sintering trolley operates in a highly heated environment, and with wear on the wheel system, the wheel components are more prone to deformation, accelerating wheel axle wear and ultimately causing wheel seizure, necessitating replacement of the wheels and axles.

[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, Chinese patent application CN202010937061.6 proposes a wheel cleaning and lubrication system for a sintering trolley. This system cleans the wheels before lubrication to prevent dried deposits formed from the lubricating oil mixed with dust from entering the bearing assembly along with the lubricating oil through the wheel oil cup at the lubrication port. However, this vehicle cleaning system has the following drawbacks:

[0004] 1. Relying solely on a flexible cleaning brush is insufficient for effective cleaning. After pressure lubrication, some lubricating oil returns from the lubrication port. As the trolley undergoes the sintering process, the lubricating oil mixed with dust and debris forms a dried deposit that completely blocks the lubrication port. Therefore, a flexible cleaning brush alone cannot completely remove this dried deposit, which is then injected into the vehicle along with the lubricating oil during subsequent lubrication processes, causing wear on the axle.

[0005] 2. The longitudinal pushing mechanism of the wheel cleaning system is not equipped with position detection, which may cause jamming without being detected, resulting in the loss of cleaning function;

[0006] 3. During the cleaning process, the grease adhering to the flexible cleaning brush is flung off, polluting the equipment and the environment.

[0007] Based on this, this application provides a more rationally designed and effective oil cup cleaning device for sintering trolley wheels to solve the problems existing in the current wheel cleaning system. Utility Model Content

[0008] The present invention aims to solve the technical problems existing in the prior art. Therefore, the present invention provides a more rationally designed and effective oil cup cleaning device for the wheels of sintering trolleys.

[0009] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is:

[0010] A sintering trolley wheel oil cup cleaning device is provided, including an adjusting support, a lateral moving component disposed on the adjusting support, and a cleaning component disposed on the lateral moving component. The adjusting support is used to adjust the height of the cleaning component, and the lateral moving component is used to control the telescopic movement of the cleaning component. It also includes a blowing component, which is disposed at the front end of the cleaning component. The blowing component includes a bracket fixedly installed at the bottom of the lateral moving component and multiple blowing guns arranged side by side on the bracket, which are at the same height as the oil cup on the wheel. The blowing guns are connected to high-temperature and high-pressure steam.

[0011] In some alternative embodiments, the lateral movement assembly includes a base shell, a cylinder and a first slide rail disposed within the base shell, a movable plate connected to the cylinder and the first slide rail, two sensing plates disposed on the side of the movable plate, and limit switches disposed at both ends of the base shell.

[0012] In some optional embodiments, hydraulic buffers are provided at both ends of the bottom shell, and two limiting blocks are provided at the bottom of the movable plate, with the two limiting blocks corresponding to the two sensing plates.

[0013] In some alternative embodiments, the cleaning assembly includes a fixed plate, a pneumatic motor and bearing housing disposed on the fixed plate, a flexible cleaning brush rotatably connected to the bearing housing via a rotating shaft, and a coupling connecting the pneumatic motor and the rotating shaft.

[0014] In some optional embodiments, the cleaning assembly further includes a buffer mechanism, which includes a second slide rail mounted on a fixed plate, a base plate mounted on a slider of the second slide rail, a guide shaft mounted on the base plate, a spring sleeved on the guide shaft, and slider limiting blocks and spring top blocks respectively located at both ends of the first slide rail. The pneumatic motor and bearing seat are fixedly mounted on the base plate.

[0015] In some alternative embodiments, a leveling base is also included, the adjusting support is fixedly installed on the leveling base, and a baffle is provided on the side of the leveling base facing the sintering trolley, and the flexible cleaning brush and the blowing gun of the cleaning assembly can both move through the baffle.

[0016] In some optional embodiments, side oil baffles and top oil baffles are respectively provided on both sides and the top of the outer surface of the baffle.

[0017] In some alternative embodiments, the bottom of the baffle is provided with an oil collection groove.

[0018] In some optional embodiments, the bottom of the leveling base is provided with leveling columns, and the two sides are also provided with fixing plates for fixing the leveling base.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0020] 1. This utility model can first use a blow gun to blow the wheel with multi-stage high temperature and pressure to break down and disperse the oil mist in the wheel and oil cup, and then use the flexible cleaning brush of the cleaning component to clean the wheel and oil cup. It can effectively remove the mixture of dried grease and dust in the wheel and oil cup, ensuring the cleaning effect and extending the service life of the wheel axle.

[0021] 2. The transverse component is designed with a sensor and a limit switch, which can detect the position of the cleaning component installed on the movable plate. If jamming is detected, the control system will issue an alarm, which solves the problem that the cleaning component cannot complete the cleaning action due to jamming of the transverse component by foreign objects and no one will handle it.

[0022] 3. The baffles prevent oil from contaminating the device during cleaning, while the side and top oil baffles prevent oil from splashing and polluting the environment during cleaning. Attached Figure Description

[0036] Example 1

[0037] As attached Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a sintering trolley wheel oil cup cleaning device, including an adjusting support 2, a lateral moving assembly 3 disposed on the adjusting support, a cleaning assembly 4 disposed on the lateral moving assembly, and a blowing assembly 5 disposed at the bottom of the lateral moving assembly. The adjusting support 2 is used to adjust the height of the cleaning assembly 4, the lateral moving assembly 3 is used to control the telescopic movement of the cleaning assembly 4, the cleaning assembly 4 is used to clean the wheel and the oil cup on it, and the blowing assembly 5 is used to blow the wheel and the oil cup on it with high temperature and pressure.

[0038] As attached Figure 3 As shown, the adjusting support 2 consists of a mounting plate, four screws arranged in a rectangle on the mounting plate, and a support plate movably mounted on the four screws. The support plate is fixed by nuts located above and below the support plate on the screws. The height of the lateral movement assembly and the sweeping assembly can be adjusted by adjusting the height of the support plate, so that the sweeping assembly can meet the cleaning requirements of the wheels and the oil cups on them.

[0039] As attached Figure 4As shown, the lateral movement assembly 3 includes a base shell 3.1, a cylinder 3.2 and a first slide rail 3.3 housed within the base shell, a movable plate 3.4 connected to the cylinder and the first slide rail, two sensor plates 3.5 located on the side of the movable plate, and limit switches 3.6 located at both ends of the base shell. The cylinder and the first slide rail are arranged side-by-side. The bottom of the movable plate is fixedly connected to a slider on the first slide rail. The cylinder's push rod is fixedly connected to the end of the movable plate via a connecting plate. The distance between the two sensor plates is adjustable. The adjustment should ensure that the flexible cleaning brush of the cleaning assembly can clean the wheels and oil cup, and that it can return to a safe distance after cleaning. For specific control of the lateral movement assembly, refer to the attached diagram. Figure 4 Taking the following scenario as an example: When cleaning is required, the cylinder extends, and the cleaning component moves to the right closer to the wheel, stopping when it reaches the right limit switch. After a set time, the cylinder retracts, and the cleaning component moves to the left away from the wheel, stopping when it reaches the left limit switch, thus completing the cleaning of one wheel. If, during the control process, the control system does not detect a signal from the limit switch within the specified time, it indicates that there is a problem with the lateral movement component, and the cleaning component cannot properly clean the wheel. The control system will then issue an alarm to remind personnel to handle the situation.

[0040] Preferably, in this embodiment, hydraulic buffers 3.7 are also provided at both ends inside the bottom shell 3.1, and two limiting blocks 3.8 are provided at the bottom of the movable plate 3.4, with the two limiting blocks corresponding to the two sensing plates. This design enables the sensing plates to decelerate during contact with the limit switches.

In this embodiment, the cleaning assembly is driven by a pneumatic motor to rotate the rotating shaft at high speed, thereby causing the flexible cleaning brush to rotate at high speed to clean the wheels and oil cup. The flexible cleaning brush can be a cleaning brush with nylon bristles.

[0042] As attached Figure 3 As shown, the blowing assembly 5 is located at the front end of the cleaning assembly 4. It includes a bracket 5.1 fixedly installed at the bottom of the transverse assembly and multiple blowing guns 5.2 arranged side by side on the bracket, which are at the same height as the oil cups on the wheels. In this embodiment, there are two blowing guns. The blowing guns are connected to high-temperature and high-pressure steam to dissolve the dried grease on the wheels and oil cups, making it easier for the flexible cleaning brush to clean.

[0043] This embodiment first uses a blower gun to perform multi-stage high-temperature and high-pressure blowing on the wheel to break down and disperse the oil mist in the wheel and oil cup. Then, the flexible cleaning brush of the cleaning component cleans the wheel and oil cup. This effectively removes the mixture of dried grease and dust in the wheel and oil cup, ensuring cleaning effect and extending the service life of the wheel axle.

[0047] Based on Example 1 or Example 2, as shown in the appendix Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 As shown, a leveling base 1 is also designed. The adjusting support 2 is fixedly installed on the leveling base 1. A baffle 6 is provided on the side of the leveling base 1 facing the sintering trolley to block oil stains. The flexible cleaning brush 4.5 and the blowing gun 5.2 of the cleaning component 4 can both move through the baffle 6.

[0048] Preferably, the outer surface of the baffle 6 is provided with side oil baffles 6.1 and top oil baffles 6.2 on both sides and top respectively, and the bottom of the baffle is provided with an oil collection trough (not shown in the figure), so that the oil spilled by the flexible cleaning brush during the cleaning process can be blocked and flow into the oil collection trough, preventing the oil from polluting the device and the site environment.

[0049] Preferably, the bottom of the leveling base 1 is provided with leveling column feet 1.1, which facilitates the adjustment of the level of the device and reduces the requirements of the device on the flatness of the ground; the two sides of the leveling base are also provided with fixing plates 1.2 for fixing the leveling base, which facilitates fixing the leveling base with anchor bolts.
