Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of wire rod cleaning mechanisms, specifically a wire rod cleaning mechanism for welding electrode production. Background Technology
[0002] The welding core, as the metal core of the welding electrode, directly affects the chemical composition and mechanical properties of the weld metal. The welding core production process mainly includes rust removal, drawing, straightening and cutting, and cleaning. Rust removal refers to the rust removal treatment of raw materials (such as steel wire) before drawing to remove surface oxide scale and impurities. Rust removal methods include mechanical rust removal (such as using a peeling machine or belt sander) and chemical rust removal (such as pickling or hot alkaline water rinsing).
[0003] Utility model CN215163175U discloses a steel strand pickling device, which includes a pickling tank, a support plate, and a hoisting vibration mechanism. The hoisting vibration mechanism includes a mounting plate and a hanging plate, connected by at least two lifting rods. These lifting rods are movably mounted on the support plate. Springs are fitted onto the lifting rods at positions between the support plate and the mounting plate. A vibrator is installed on the bottom surface of the mounting plate. The hanging plate is equipped with a hanging component for suspending the steel strand wire rods to be pickled. In this utility model, the support plate is vertically movable, meeting the requirements of both the pickling state and the post-pickling cooling state of the steel strand wire rods. This removes the pickling solution carried on the wire rods, preventing excessive pickling solution from entering the cleaning tank and improving the subsequent water cleaning effect. Simultaneously, the vibrator ensures vibration cleaning when the wire rods are immersed in the pickling solution, improving the pickling effect.
[0004] While the aforementioned device can improve the cleaning effect of wire rod by moving the hanging plate up and down with the help of a vibrator and spring, this approach only allows the hanging plate to move up and down within a small range. Furthermore, the spring's buffering effect absorbs and reduces the vibration energy of the vibrator, resulting in a less than ideal vibration effect. Due to the limited range of motion, the contact area between the wire rod placed on the hanger and the solution in the pickling tank is also limited, making it difficult to agitate the solution and ensure a thorough reaction with the wire rod. It is also difficult to remove any adhering impurities or precipitates produced during the reaction, further contributing to the poor cleaning effect. In addition, since the hanger only supports the wire rod and cannot limit or fix it, the wire rod is prone to detaching from the hanger and falling into the pickling tank during vibration and movement, hindering efficient cleaning and causing inconvenience for wire rod removal. Therefore, to address these issues, a wire rod cleaning mechanism for welding electrode production is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the technical problems in comparative technologies, such as the limited vibration amplitude of wire rod cleaning mechanisms resulting in insignificant cleaning effects, difficulty in agitating the solution during vibration to maintain its uniformity, and the lack of measures to secure the wire rods, which makes them prone to falling into the cleaning tank and difficult to remove, this utility model provides a wire rod cleaning mechanism for welding electrode production.
[0006] The technical solution adopted by the embodiments of this application to solve its technical problem is:
[0007] A wire rod cleaning mechanism for welding electrode production includes a cleaning tank containing an acidic or alkaline cleaning solution; a lifting frame with a shaking frame mounted on top, positioned directly above the cleaning tank, the lifting frame driving the shaking frame to move up and down; and wire rod hanging rods mounted symmetrically on the lower end face of the shaking frame. Each hanging rod includes a main body with several arrayed mounting forks inserted into it, and anti-detachment pins for securing the mounting forks are inserted into the main body, locking them in the mounting forks during wire rod installation. The shaking frame includes a base plate and a movable plate, the movable plate being slidably connected to the base plate via a sliding rod fixedly connected thereto, and a reciprocating drive mechanism for driving the movable plate to move up and down is mounted on the base plate.
[0008] In one possible implementation, the reciprocating drive mechanism includes a drive motor mounted on a base plate, with an active link fixedly connected to the output shaft end of the motor, a driven link rotatably connected to the end of the active link, and the bottom end of the driven link rotatably connected to the movable plate via a hinge seat.
[0009] In one possible implementation, a mating groove matching the size of the driven link is formed in the middle of the substrate, the driven link does not contact the groove wall, and an anti-detachment end piece is fixedly connected to the top of the sliding rod.
[0010] In one possible implementation, the main body of the hanging rod is provided with a plurality of insertion holes, the mounting fork head includes a limiting piece, the rear end of which is fixedly connected to an insertion block that matches the size of the insertion hole, the front end of which is fixedly connected to a shaft, and the front end of the shaft is fixedly connected to a positioning fork.
[0011] In one possible implementation, the fork front end is machined with an inwardly sloping guide opening, and the fork is machined with several anti-slip grooves.
[0012] In one possible implementation, the main body of the hanging rod has several anti-detachment holes communicating with the insertion holes on its side, the insertion block has through holes corresponding to the anti-detachment holes, and the anti-detachment pin includes a pin shaft with several anti-detachment grooves machined on it, and an end cap is fixedly connected to its bottom end.
[0013] In one possible implementation, the lifting frame includes a bracket and a hydraulic cylinder, wherein the bracket is fixedly installed at both ends of the base plate, the hydraulic cylinder is fixedly installed on both sides of the cleaning tank, and the output shaft end of the hydraulic cylinder is fixedly connected to the bracket.
[0014] In one possible implementation, the lifting frame further includes guide cylinders fixedly installed on both sides of the hydraulic cylinder, wherein guide rods are slidably arranged, and the top ends of the guide rods are fixedly connected to the bracket.
[0015] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial technical effects:
[0016] By setting up a shaking frame, it can drive the wire rod hanging rod installed below it to move up and down at a high frequency during operation, producing a significant shaking effect. This allows the wire rod fixedly installed on it to fully contact and react with the cleaning solution, and can also shake off foreign matter attached to it or precipitates generated by the reaction. In addition, the wire rod hanging rod can also stir the solution and maintain uniform dissolution when it shakes at a high frequency. The above shaking drive scheme is specifically manifested as follows: during operation, the drive motor drives the active connecting rod fixedly connected to it to rotate continuously, thereby driving the bottom end of the driven connecting rod rotatably connected to the active connecting rod to move up and down, and then pushing and pulling the movable plate rotatably connected to it to move up and down, thereby driving the wire rod hanging rod installed on the movable plate to shake up and down.
[0017] Because the wire rod is equipped with several detachable mounting forks, the wire rod can be clamped and fixed by the positioning forks on the mounting forks during installation, preventing it from falling off the wire rod and sinking into the cleaning tank during movement. Furthermore, based on the detachable mounting feature of the mounting forks, the corresponding mounting forks can be replaced according to different wire rod sizes to securely fix them, thereby expanding the applicability of the cleaning mechanism.

[0025] The technical solution in this application embodiment is to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, and the overall idea is as follows:
[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a wire rod cleaning mechanism for welding rod production, including a cleaning tank 1 containing an acidic or alkaline cleaning solution; a lifting frame 2 with a shaking frame 3 installed on its top, the shaking frame 3 being located directly above the cleaning tank 1, the lifting frame 2 being used to drive the shaking frame 3 to move up and down; and wire rod hanging rods 4, which are installed on the lower end face of the shaking frame 3 and arranged symmetrically.
[0027] Based on the above technical solution, during operation, the lifting frame 2 can drive the shaking frame 3 to move up and down, thereby removing the wire rod hanging rod 4 installed below it from the cleaning box 1 or sinking the wire rod hanging rod 4 into the cleaning box 1 for cleaning. This makes it convenient for operators to install wire rods to be cleaned on the wire rod hanging rod 4 or remove the cleaned wire rods from the wire rod hanging rod 4.
[0028] like Figure 2 - Figure 3As shown, the shaking frame 3 includes a base plate 31 and a movable plate 32. The movable plate 32 is slidably connected to the base plate 31 via a sliding rod 33 fixedly connected thereto. Based on the above scheme, the movable plate 32 can slide back and forth relative to the base plate 31, providing the necessary structural basis for its shaking. In addition, a reciprocating drive mechanism 34 for driving the movable plate 32 to move up and down is installed on the base plate 31. It includes a drive motor 341 mounted on the base plate 31, with an active connecting rod 342 fixedly connected to its output shaft end. A driven connecting rod 343 is rotatably connected to the end of the active connecting rod 342. The bottom end of the driven connecting rod 343 is rotatably connected to the movable plate 32 via a hinge seat 344. During operation, the drive motor 341 drives the active connecting rod 342 fixedly connected thereto to rotate continuously, thereby driving the bottom end of the driven connecting rod 343 rotatably connected to the active connecting rod 342 to move up and down, thereby pushing and pulling the movable plate 32 rotatably connected thereto to move up and down, thus driving the wire rod hanging rod 4 mounted on the movable plate 32 to shake up and down.
[0029] Based on the above scheme, the wire rod 4 installed below can be driven to move up and down at high frequency during operation, producing a significant shaking effect. This allows the wire rod fixed on it to fully contact and react with the cleaning solution, and also shakes off foreign matter or precipitates generated by the reaction. In addition, the wire rod 4 can also stir the solution and maintain uniform dissolution when it shakes at high frequency.
[0030] As a complement, such as Figure 3 As shown, a mating groove 311 matching the size of the driven link 343 is provided in the middle of the substrate 31. The driven link 343 does not contact the groove wall of the mating groove 311. The above structure can provide the necessary structural basis for the movement of the driving link 342 and the driven link 343, and avoid collision with the substrate 31 during the movement. An anti-detachment end piece 331 is fixedly connected to the top of the sliding rod 33. This structure can play a limiting role and prevent the sliding rod 33 from separating from the substrate 31.
[0031] like Figure 4 - Figure 5As shown, the wire rod hanging rod 4 includes a hanging rod body 41, on which a plurality of arrayed mounting forks 42 are inserted. Anti-detachment pins 43 for fixing the mounting forks 42 are also inserted into the hanging rod body 41. When installing wire rod, the forks are secured in the mounting forks 42. The hanging rod body 41 has a plurality of insertion holes 411. The mounting forks 42 include a limiting piece 421, with a matching insertion block 422 at its rear end and a fixed shaft 423 at its front end. A positioning fork 424 is fixedly connected to the front end of the shaft 423. During wire rod installation, the positioning fork 424 on the mounting fork 42 clamps and secures the wire rod, preventing it from falling off the hanging rod 4 and sinking into the cleaning tank 1 during movement. Furthermore, due to the detachable installation feature of the mounting forks 42, the corresponding mounting forks 42 can be replaced according to different wire rod sizes for secure fixing, thereby expanding the applicability of the cleaning mechanism.
[0032] The positioning fork 424 has an inwardly sloping guide at the front fork opening. This guide structure facilitates the smooth insertion of the wire rod into the positioning fork 424. The positioning fork 424 also has several anti-slip grooves 425. These grooves enhance the lateral friction between the positioning fork 424 and the wire rod, preventing the wire rod from sliding laterally and detaching from the positioning fork 424.
[0033] To achieve the locking and anti-detachment function of anti-detachment pin 43, such as Figure 5 As shown, the main body 41 of the hanging rod has several anti-detachment holes 412 connected to the insertion holes 411 on its side. The insertion block 422 has through holes corresponding to the anti-detachment holes 412. The anti-detachment pin 43 includes a pin shaft 431, on which several anti-detachment textures 432 are machined, and an end cap 433 is fixedly connected to its bottom end. After the insertion block 422 is fully inserted into the insertion hole 411, the pin shaft 431 of the anti-detachment pin 43 is inserted into the anti-detachment hole 412. At this time, the insertion block 422 cannot slide out of the insertion hole 411. In addition, the anti-detachment textures 432 can significantly enhance the friction between the pin shaft 431 and the anti-detachment hole 412, preventing the pin shaft 431 from sliding out of the anti-detachment hole 412.
[0034] like Figure 1As shown, the lifting frame 2 includes a bracket 21 and a hydraulic cylinder 22. The bracket 21 is fixedly installed at both ends of the base plate 31, and the hydraulic cylinder 22 is fixedly installed on both sides of the cleaning tank 1. The output shaft end of the hydraulic cylinder 22 is fixedly connected to the bracket 21. The hydraulic cylinder 22 can drive the bracket 21 connected to it to move up and down through its own operation, thereby driving the base plate 31 fixedly connected to the bracket 21 to move up and down, thus driving the overall up and down movement of the shaking frame 3. In addition, in order to improve the stability of the bracket 21 during the up and down movement, the lifting frame 2 also includes guide cylinders 23 fixedly installed on both sides of the hydraulic cylinder 22. Guide rods 24 are slidably arranged in the guide cylinders 23, and the top end of the guide rods 24 is fixedly connected to the bracket 21. Based on the above scheme, the sliding connection between the guide rods 24 and the guide cylinders 23 can guide and support the bracket 21 during the up and down sliding process, preventing it from deviating during the movement.
[0035] The working principle and usage process of this utility model:
[0036] During operation, the lifting frame 2 can drive the shaking frame 3 to move up and down, thereby removing the wire rod hanging rod 4 installed below it from the cleaning box 1 or sinking the wire rod hanging rod 4 into the cleaning box 1 for cleaning. This makes it convenient for operators to install wire rods to be cleaned on the wire rod hanging rod 4 or remove the cleaned wire rods from the wire rod hanging rod 4.
[0037] When the wire rod hanger 4 is submerged in the cleaning tank 1 for cleaning, the drive motor 341 drives the active connecting rod 342, which is fixedly connected to it, to rotate continuously. This causes the bottom end of the driven connecting rod 343, which is rotatably connected to the active connecting rod 342, to move up and down. This pushes and pulls the movable plate 32, which is rotatably connected to it, to move up and down. This causes the wire rod hanger 4, which is mounted on the movable plate 32, to shake up and down. This allows the wire rod fixedly mounted on it to fully contact and react with the cleaning solution, and also shakes off any foreign matter attached to it or any precipitates generated by the reaction. In addition, the high-frequency shaking of the wire rod hanger 4 can also agitate the solution and maintain uniform dissolution.
[0038] When installing the wire rod, the positioning fork 424 on the mounting fork 42 can clamp and fix the wire rod, preventing it from falling off the wire rod hanging rod 4 and sinking into the cleaning tank 1 during movement. Furthermore, based on the detachable installation feature of the mounting fork 42, the corresponding mounting fork 42 can be replaced according to different wire rod sizes to securely fix it, thereby expanding the application range of the cleaning mechanism.
[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
