Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of nut pickling technology, specifically to a pickling device for treating waterproof nuts. Background Technology

[0002] The manufacture of steel has enabled rapid development in human society once again. Machinery and buildings made of various steels are more stable, robust, and lightweight. However, connecting and splicing these steel components in modular form requires various connection methods, such as welding, hinges, and snap-fits. Bolt connections are among the most common methods, being convenient and extremely stable and durable. Depending on the type of nut used, the purpose of the connection varies, and the nut plays a significant role. During nut manufacturing, the surface of the nut is prone to rusting and forming an oxide layer. To ensure product quality, this layer needs to be removed by pickling, which requires pickling equipment.

[0003] In existing pickling equipment, such as Chinese patent CN219995852U, when the nuts are being pickled and dried, the exhaust gas from the dried nuts is drawn in through the air intake fan and enters the exhaust gas treatment box. The exhaust gas then passes through several cooling plates, which cool the steam in the exhaust gas, forming small water droplets. These droplets eventually flow into a collection tank due to their own gravity. After the collection tank has collected water for a certain period of time, the operator controls the electromagnet to cut off the power. Then, the operator removes the cooling plate by hand, opens the sealing cover on one side of the collection tank, collects the water in the collection tank, and then fixes the cooling plate back into the installation tank. This process allows the exhaust gas from the dried nuts to be cooled and the pickling liquid in the exhaust gas to be collected, preventing the evaporated pickling liquid from being directly discharged into the atmosphere and causing pollution.

[0004] However, the following problems still exist: Currently, when nuts are pickled, they are generally soaked in an acid pickling tank and then taken out by workers. This not only results in low efficiency for workers, but also requires attention to safety, which leads to a lower daily production capacity of the equipment due to the impact of workers.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides an acid pickling device for treating waterproof nuts, which has the following advantages:

[0019] 1. This pickling equipment for waterproof nuts uses a conveyor belt to transport materials through the machine body. As the material enters the machine, it is fed into a pickling tank where it undergoes pickling treatment. The material entering the tank triggers a control component, which then controls the operation of the pickling tank.

This system utilizes a conveyor belt to transport materials for pickling, replacing manual material handling and improving processing efficiency while minimizing safety hazards for workers.

[0020] 2. The pickling equipment used for treating waterproof nuts, through the setting of guide plates, allows the moving parts to be guided and restricted when entering the rail frame, thereby ensuring the stable entry of the moving parts into the rail frame and improving the stability of equipment operation.

[0021] 3. The pickling equipment for treating waterproof nuts, through the setting of a first detection rod and a second detection rod, causes the material mesh bag to deflect when entering the pickling tank. The first detection rod triggers the controller, which starts the ultrasonic generator to run, thus enabling the pickling tank to operate. When the material mesh bag moves out of the pickling tank, it causes the material mesh bag to deflect when exiting the tank. The second detection rod triggers the controller, which stops the ultrasonic generator, thus stopping the pickling tank from operating. This allows the equipment to stop operating when there is no material to pickle, saving energy and reducing the operating cost of the equipment. Attached Figure Description

[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0031] As described in the background section, there are shortcomings in the existing technology. In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application proposes an acid pickling device for waterproof nut treatment.

[0032] In one typical implementation of this application, such as Figures 1-7 As shown, a pickling device for treating waterproof nuts includes a body 1, a pickling mechanism 2 installed in the body 1, and an auxiliary mechanism 3 installed in the body 1. The pickling mechanism 2 includes a pickling tank 21. The pickling tank 21 is installed in the body 1 and performs pickling treatment on the nuts.

[0033] The auxiliary mechanism 3 includes a material net bag 32 and a control component 310. The material net bag 32 is located next to the machine body 1. The material net bag 32 carries the material and conveys it through the machine body 1. When the material net bag 32 is in the machine body 1, the pickling tank 21 pickles the material in the material net bag 32. When the material net bag 32 is conveyed in the machine body 1, the material net bag 32 triggers the control component 310. When the control component 310 is triggered, the control component 310 controls the operation of the pickling tank 21.

[0034] The process involves conveying the material mesh bag 32 through the machine body 1. Upon entering the machine body 1, the material mesh bag 32 enters the pickling tank 21, where it performs pickling treatment on the material in the mesh bag 32. When the material mesh bag 32 enters the pickling tank 21, it triggers the control component 310, which controls the operation of the pickling tank 21. When the material mesh bag 32 exits the pickling tank 21, it triggers the control component 310 again, which stops the operation of the pickling tank 21. This method utilizes the material mesh bag 32 to carry the material via a conveyor line for pickling, replacing the manual handling process and effectively improving the equipment's processing efficiency while avoiding safety hazards for workers.

[0035] Furthermore, the pickling tank 21 is fixedly installed inside the machine body 1. The pickling tank 21 is located at the lower end of the machine body 1. The length of the pickling tank 21 is adapted to the internal length of the machine body 1. The top of the pickling tank 21 is an open end. Multiple ultrasonic generators 22 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the machine body 1. The ultrasonic generators 22 are located below the pickling tank 21 and are evenly distributed below the pickling tank 21. The working end of the ultrasonic generator 22 is connected to the bottom end of the pickling tank 21.

[0036] Furthermore, a drain valve 23 is fixedly installed on the side of the pickling tank 21. The drain valve 23 is located at the lower end of the pickling tank 21 and is connected to the pickling tank 21. The drain valve 23 is used to control the discharge of pickling solution in the pickling tank 21.

[0037] During pickling, the ultrasonic generator 22 emits ultrasonic waves into the pickling tank 21 to make the pickling tank run for pickling. When it is necessary to discharge the pickling liquid, the drain valve 23 is opened and the pickling liquid is discharged from the drain valve 23.

[0038] Furthermore, the auxiliary mechanism 3 also includes a conveying assembly system 31, which is disposed on both sides of the body 1. The conveying assembly system 31 is used to convey the material net bag 32 and is adjacent to the body 1.

[0039] Specifically, the conveyor assembly system 31 is a conveyor belt mechanism used to convey the material net bag 32 on the production line. The conveyor assembly system 31 is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0040] Furthermore, a material net bag 32 is provided on the conveying assembly system 31. The conveying assembly system 31 on one side of the machine body 1 is used to convey the material net bag 32 into the machine body 1, and the conveying assembly system 31 on the other side of the machine body 1 is used to convey the material net bag 32 away. A movable part 33 is fixedly installed at the top of the material net bag 32, and a nut 34 is placed inside the material net bag 32.

[0041] Furthermore, nut 34 is material placed in material net bag 32.

[0042] Furthermore, a rail frame 35 is fixedly installed inside the body 1, passing through both sides of the body 1. The rail frame 35 is located on the conveying path of the conveying assembly system 31. The width of the rail frame 35 is adapted to the length of the moving part 33. Both ends of the rail frame 35 are rotatably fitted with sprockets 36. The sprockets 36 are located at the upper end of the rail frame 35. A chain 37 is tensioned on the sprockets 36. The lower part of the chain 37 passes through the interior of the rail frame 35, and the upper part of the chain 37 is located above the rail frame 35. The top of the moving part 33 is provided with teeth. When the moving part 33 meshes with the chain 37, the chain 37 drives the moving part 33 to move in the rail frame 35. A motor 38 is fixedly installed on the rail frame 35, and the motor 38 is poweredly connected to the sprockets 36.

[0043] Furthermore, guide plates 39 are fixedly installed at both ends of the rail frame 35, and the guide plates 39 are used to guide the moving part 33 into the rail frame 35.

[0044] In this process, the nut 34 is placed into the material net bag 32, and the conveying assembly system 31 drives the material net bag 32 to be conveyed to the machine body 1. The material net bag 32 drives the moving part 33 to be conveyed, so that the moving part 33 enters the rail frame 35 through the guide plate 39. The motor 38 is started, and the motor 38 drives the sprocket 36 to rotate. The sprocket 36 drives the chain 37 to rotate. The chain 37 meshes with the moving part 33 in the rail frame 35, so that the chain 37 drives the moving part 33 to move in the rail frame 35. The moving part 33 drives the material net bag 32 to move, so that the material net bag 32 is moved into the pickling tank 21. The nut 34 in the material net bag 32 is pickled in the pickling tank 21.

[0045] Furthermore, a first detection rod 311 is rotatably installed on one side of the bottom of the pickling tank 21, and the first detection rod 311 is located on the conveying path of the material net bag 32. A second detection rod 312 is rotatably installed on the other side of the bottom of the pickling tank 21, and the second detection rod 312 is located on the conveying path of the material net bag 32. The control component 310 includes the first detection rod 311 and the second detection rod 312. Two controllers 313 are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the pickling tank 21. The input detection terminals of the controllers 313 are poweredly connected to the first detection rod 311 and the second detection rod 312 respectively. The controllers 313 are signal connected to the ultrasonic generator 22.

[0046] As the material net 32 ​​enters the pickling tank 21, it pushes the first detection rod 311 to deflect, triggering the controller 313. The controller 313 then starts the ultrasonic generator 22 to operate, thus enabling the pickling tank 21 to run. As the material net 32 ​​moves out of the pickling tank 21, it pushes the second detection rod 312 to deflect, triggering the controller 313. The controller 313 then stops the ultrasonic generator 22, thus stopping the pickling tank 21 from operating.

[0047] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
