Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of zinc slag separation technology, specifically relating to a device for separating residual zinc liquid from zinc slag. Background Technology

[0002] Zinc is readily soluble in both acids and alkalis, hence it is called an amphoteric metal. During the galvanizing process, when operators retrieve zinc dross, the surface of the dross often carries hot molten zinc. The dross cools down quickly, resulting in a large amount of molten zinc remaining on the surface of the dross, causing high zinc consumption in the galvanizing production line. Therefore, it is necessary to design a device to separate the residual molten zinc from the dross.

[0003] Traditional zinc dross separation equipment that uses heating to separate large quantities of zinc dross often lacks a mixing mechanism due to the simple nature of its internal structure. This results in uneven heating of the zinc dross during the separation process, which in turn affects the separation effect and quality of the zinc dross. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a device with a simple structure and reasonable design for separating residual zinc liquid from zinc dross in order to solve the above problems.

[0005] This utility model achieves the above objectives through the following technical solutions:

[0006] An apparatus for separating residual zinc liquid from zinc slag includes a separation component, a drive component fixedly mounted on the top of the outer side of the separation component, four support rods mounted on the bottom of the outer side of the separation component, and a buffer component cooperating with the bottom of the four support rods.

[0007] As a further optimization of this utility model, the separation component includes a storage outer chamber, a centrifugal mesh barrel extending into the inner top of the storage outer chamber is rotatably installed therein, an installation sleeve extending into the outside is placed at the middle position inside the centrifugal mesh barrel, a heating wire extending into the outside is installed at the top inside the installation sleeve, and a plurality of mixing rods placed inside the centrifugal mesh barrel are installed on both sides of the installation sleeve.

[0008] As a further optimization of this utility model, the drive assembly includes a servo motor fixedly installed on the top of one side of the storage outer compartment, and a gear fixedly installed on the output end of the top of the servo motor. The drive assembly also includes an external gear ring fixedly fitted on the top of the outer side of the centrifuge mesh barrel, and the external gear ring meshes with the gear.

[0009] As a further optimization of this utility model, the buffer assembly includes four mounting grooves formed at the bottom of the support rod. A spring is fixedly installed in the top of each of the four mounting grooves, and a sleeve rod extending to the outside is slidably connected to the bottom of each of the four mounting grooves. The top of the sleeve rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the spring. A through groove is formed at the bottom of one side of each of the four mounting grooves, and a push block fixed to the sleeve rod slides through the bottom of the four through grooves.

[0010] As a further optimization of this utility model, the buffer assembly also includes four U-shaped mounting seats fixedly installed at the middle position of the support rod near the through groove. Each of the four U-shaped mounting seats has a hinge rod rotatably installed inside, which is placed above the push block. The hinge rod cooperates with the push block. Both ends of the top of each of the four hinge rods are fixedly installed with coil springs connected to the U-shaped mounting seats.

[0011] As a further optimization of this utility model, L-shaped fixing brackets are fixedly installed on the top of both sides of the mounting sleeve, and the bottom of the two L-shaped fixing brackets are fixedly connected to the outside of the storage compartment.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

During centrifugation, the zinc dross is heated by the heating wire, which facilitates the melting of the solidified zinc liquid remaining on the outside of the zinc dross into a liquid state, making it easier for operators to collect and separate it later. At the same time, the design of the sleeve and mixing rod can also realize the mixing operation of zinc dross, so as to improve the uniformity of the zinc dross heating in the later stage and ensure the efficiency and quality of zinc dross separation.

[0014] 2. Through the structural design of the buffer component, this utility model can also easily realize the buffer function of the separation component during operation, effectively prevent the vibration phenomenon caused by its collision with the foundation during operation, and alleviate the loosening of some parts caused by vibration.

Those skilled in the art can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present application based on the above application content.

[0022] Example 1

[0023] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4As shown, a device for separating residual zinc liquid from zinc dross includes a separation component 1. The separation component 1's structural design enables the storage and separation of zinc dross. The separation component 1 includes a storage outer chamber 100. A fixing ring is fixedly fitted to the bottom of the outer side of the storage outer chamber 100. An annular guide groove is fixedly installed on the top of the inner side of the storage outer chamber 100. An annular guide slider is slidably connected inside the annular guide groove. A centrifugal mesh bucket 101 extending into the storage outer chamber 100 is fixedly installed inside the annular guide slider. A centrifugal mesh bucket 101 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the centrifugal mesh bucket 101. The discharge cylinder extends to the bottom of the outer storage chamber 100 and is rotatably sealed to the bottom of the outer storage chamber 100. A sealing cover is fitted to the inner bottom of the discharge cylinder; opening the sealing cover later allows the zinc dross inside the centrifugal mesh drum 101 to be discharged. A discharge pipe is installed on one side of the bottom of the outer storage chamber 100. A matching sealing plate is fitted to the side of the discharge pipe away from the outer storage chamber 100; opening the sealing plate later allows the discharge of molten zinc inside the outer storage chamber 100. Multiple [unclear - possibly referring to openings or features] are located at the middle and bottom of the outer side of the centrifugal mesh drum 101. The centrifugal mesh drum 101 has a mesh design that facilitates the separation of molten zinc. A lid covers the top of the drum, and an inlet is located on one side of the top of the lid. A sealing plug covers the inner top of the inlet. A mounting sleeve 104, extending to the bottom of the centrifugal mesh drum 101, is rotatably fitted at the center of the top of the lid. L-shaped fixing brackets are fixedly installed on both sides of the top of the mounting sleeve 104, and these brackets are connected to a fixing ring at the bottom of the outer side of the storage outer chamber 100, facilitating the fixed support of the mounting sleeve 104. The heating wire 103 extending to the outside is fixedly installed inside the 4. Mixing rods 102 are evenly installed on both sides of the mounting sleeve 104. The aluminum material design of the mounting sleeve 104 and the mixing rods 102 facilitates the transfer of heat generated by the heating wire 103 during operation, so as to facilitate the heating of zinc dross placed inside the centrifugal mesh barrel 101. Furthermore, the installation design of the mounting sleeve 104 and the mixing rods 102 can also facilitate the mixing of zinc dross, which can improve the uniformity of heating of zinc dross in the later stage and ensure the separation efficiency in the later stage.

[0024] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4As shown, a drive assembly 2 is fixedly installed on the top of the outer side of the separation assembly 1. The drive assembly 2 can drive the centrifugal mesh barrel 101 to rotate, thereby completing the centrifugal rotation and separation operation of the zinc slag driven by the centrifugal mesh barrel 101. The drive assembly 2 includes a servo motor 200 fixedly installed on the top of one side of the storage outer chamber 100. The specific model of the servo motor 200 is DS2P-01AS. A mounting bracket is fixedly installed on the outside of the servo motor 200 and is fixedly connected to the outside of the storage outer chamber 100. A gear 201 is fixedly installed on the output end of the top of the servo motor 200. The drive assembly 2 also includes an outer gear ring 202 fixedly fitted on the top of the outer side of the centrifugal mesh barrel 101. The outer gear ring 202 meshes with the gear 201. Later, the servo motor 200 drives the gear 201 to rotate. Through the meshing design of the gear 201 and the outer gear ring 202, the centrifugal mesh barrel 101 can be driven to rotate the zinc slag inside the storage outer chamber 100, which facilitates the centrifugal separation of zinc slag.

[0025] like Figure 4 , Figure 5As shown, four support rods 3 connected to the fixing ring are fixedly installed on the outer side of the storage outer chamber 100. A buffer assembly 4 is installed at the bottom of each of the four support rods 3. The support rods 3 support the storage outer chamber 100 and its components. The buffer assembly 4 buffers the vibrations generated during centrifugal operation of the storage outer chamber 100 and its components, thus providing protection during operation and extending the service life of the separation device. The buffer assembly 4 includes four mounting grooves 400, which are located at the bottom of the four support rods 3. Each of the four mounting grooves 400 has a bottom edge on one side that connects to its inner and outer surfaces. The interconnected through groove 405 has four mounting grooves 400, each with a spring 401 fixedly mounted on its inner top. Each of the four mounting grooves 400 has a sleeve 407 extending to the outside of the support rod 3 slidably fitted onto its inner bottom. The tops of the four sleeves 407 are fixedly connected to the bottoms of the springs 401. Each of the four sleeves 407 has a push block 406 fixedly mounted on one side of its top. The four push blocks 406 extend through the through groove 405 to the outside of the support rod 3. Each of the four push blocks 406 has a guide slope on its top side away from the sleeve 407. The buffer assembly 4 also includes four U-shaped mounting seats 403 fixedly mounted on the top of the support rod 3 near the through groove 405. The interiors of the four U-shaped mounting seats 403 are all... The device is equipped with four hinge rods 404, each with a rotating shaft connected to a U-shaped mounting base 403. Both ends of the four rotating shafts are fixedly fitted with coil springs 402 connected to the U-shaped mounting base 403. Each of the four hinge rods 404 has a second guide slope near the through groove 405 at its bottom, which fits against the first guide slope. During centrifugal rotation, the vibration generated by the centrifugal mesh tank 101 can be controlled by the storage outer chamber 100, causing the support rod 3 and mounting groove 400 to slide up and down outside the sleeve rod 407. Simultaneously, the lateral vibration can be limited by the sliding connection design between the support rod 3 and the sleeve rod 407, thus controlling the movement of the support rod. 3. The sliding operation on the outside of the sleeve rod 407 allows the spring 401 to be compressed by the sliding of the support rod 3 and the components above it. The elastic restoring force of the spring 401 can achieve the first buffering of vibration force. At the same time, the downward movement of the support rod 3 can also drive the hinge rod 404 to move on the top of the push block 406. Then, with the cooperation design of the guide slope one and guide slope two, the through groove 405 can push the hinge rod 404 to rotate along the rotating shaft inside the U-shaped mounting base 403, which can then achieve the rotation and stretching operation of the coil spring 402. Finally, the elastic buffering force of the coil spring 402 can achieve the second buffering of vibration force, thereby improving the protection performance of the equipment in the later stage.

[0026] It should be noted that, in the operation of this device for separating residual zinc liquid from zinc dross, the operator can first feed the zinc dross into the centrifugal mesh drum 101 through the feed inlet. Then, the zinc dross inside the centrifugal mesh drum 101 can be heated by the heating wire 103 in conjunction with the mounting sleeve 104. At the same time, the servo motor 200 can drive the gear 201 to rotate. Through the meshing design of the gear 201 and the outer gear ring 202, the centrifugal mesh drum 101 can be driven to rotate centrifugally inside the storage outer chamber 100, thereby realizing the separation operation of zinc dross. At the same time, through the fixed installation design of the mounting sleeve 104 and the mixing rod 102, the zinc dross in the centrifugation process can be mixed to improve the uniformity of the zinc dross heating and ensure the efficiency of the subsequent separation.

[0027] The vibration generated during the centrifugal rotation of the centrifugal mesh tank 101 can be mitigated by the storage outer chamber 100 driving the support rod 3 and the mounting groove 400 to slide up and down outside the sleeve rod 407. Simultaneously, the lateral vibrations generated can be limited by the sliding connection design between the support rod 3 and the sleeve rod 407, allowing the support rod 3 to slide up and down outside the sleeve rod 407. The sliding of the support rod 3 and its components compresses the spring 401, and the elastic restoring force of the spring 401 provides initial cushioning of the vibration. Simultaneously, the downward movement of the support rod 3 drives the hinge rod 404 to move on top of the push block 406. With the coordinated design of guide slope one and guide slope two, the through groove 405 pushes the hinge rod 404 to rotate along the shaft inside the U-shaped mounting base 403, thus achieving the rotational stretching operation of the coil spring 402. Finally, the elastic buffering force of the coil spring 402 provides secondary cushioning of the vibration, thereby improving the subsequent protective performance of the equipment.

[0028] The above embodiments only illustrate several implementation methods 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.
