Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rotating electrode manufacturing of spherical powder, and in particular to a device for rotating electrode manufacturing of spherical powder. Background Technology
[0002] Rotating electrode manufacturing of spherical powder involves using the centrifugal force of a high-speed rotating electrode to throw out and pulverize liquid into fine droplets, which are then condensed into powder. Specifically, this method uses consumable electrodes made of metal or alloy. The electrode end face is heated and melted by a heat source such as an electric arc, plasma, or electron beam. The molten metal is thrown out and condensed into spherical powder under the action of high-speed rotating centrifugal force.
[0003] Existing equipment for manufacturing spherical powder using rotating electrodes typically employs two methods for adding titanium alloy materials: manual addition and machine addition. Manual addition not only requires physical exertion from workers and increases their workload, but also has low efficiency. On the other hand, existing mechanical addition methods can only feed titanium alloy materials one at a time and cannot replenish them in a timely manner, which can easily affect the quality of spherical powder manufactured by rotating electrodes.

[0036] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0037] Please see Figure 3-4 As shown, this embodiment is an apparatus for manufacturing spherical powder using a rotating electrode, comprising:
[0038] Main components: The main components include a vacuum furnace 11, a frame 12, a housing 13, and a feeding hopper 14;
[0039] The frame 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the vacuum furnace 11, the housing 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the frame 12, and the feeding hopper 14 is installed on the top of the housing 13.
[0040] The main components also include a refining box 15 and a power cord 16;
[0041] The refining box 15 is fixedly connected to the top of the vacuum furnace 11, and the power cord 16 is located on one side of the vacuum furnace 11.
[0042] The vacuum furnace 11 is achieved through motor-induced gas atomization technology. The equipment is protected by appropriate vacuum conditions. The pre-made titanium alloy rods are fed into the refining box 15 for regional refining. The molten metal flows continuously and vertically through the nozzle. The molten metal is atomized and broken into a large number of fine droplets by the high-pressure airflow through the tightly coupled nozzle installed in the vacuum furnace 11. The fine droplets solidify into particles during flight.
[0043] All of the above parts are existing technologies;
[0044] Furthermore, it also includes feeding components;
[0045] The feeding assembly includes a hydraulic rod 21, a slide rail 22, an auxiliary frame 23, a storage box 24, and a feeding plate 27;
[0046] The hydraulic rod 21 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the box 13, the slide rail 22 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the box 13, the auxiliary frame 23 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the slide rail 22, the feeding plate 27 is fixedly connected to one end of the hydraulic rod 21, and the storage box 24 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the feeding plate 27.
[0047] The feeding assembly also includes a baffle 25 and a feeding chute 26;
[0048] The baffle 25 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the storage box 24, and the discharge chute 26 is opened at the front end of the inside of the box body 13;
[0049] The bottom of the feeding hopper 14 is attached to the center of the top of the feeding plate 27, and the center of the top of the feeding plate 27 is connected. The slide rail 22 is used to provide space for the feeding plate 27 to slide. The bottom of the baffle 25 is attached to the top of the auxiliary frame 23.
[0050] Through the auxiliary cooperation between the hydraulic rod 21 and the feeding plate 27, the hydraulic rod 21 can be activated to work, causing the feeding plate 27 to slide repeatedly while achieving quantitative feeding;
[0051] Working principle: When workers are cutting titanium alloy materials;
[0052] First, the workers pour titanium alloy material into the inside of the feeding hopper 14, and let the titanium alloy material fall through the feeding plate 27 to fill the inside of the storage box 24. At the same time, the hydraulic rod 21 is expected to work to drive the feeding plate 27 to slide repeatedly inside the slide rail 22.
[0053] Next, when the slide rail 22 and the feeding bin 14 are misaligned, the auxiliary frame 23 and the baffle 25 can be released from obstruction, so that the baffle 25 flips down above the feeding trough 26, allowing the titanium alloy material to fall into the inside of the feeding trough 26. When the feeding plate 27 is reset, the feeding bin 14 can be aligned with it again, so that the remaining titanium alloy material in the feeding bin 14 falls into the inside of the storage box 24 again.
[0054] This step allows for automatic feeding and replenishment of titanium alloy materials.
[0055] Please see Figure 1-2 As shown, this embodiment, based on the above embodiment, also includes a retracting component;
[0056] The retraction assembly includes a power supply box 31, a half gear 32, an electric threaded rod 33, a stud 34, and a guide frame 35;
[0057] The power supply box 31 is fixedly connected to the outside of the vacuum furnace 11, the half gear 32 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the power supply box 31, the electric threaded rod 33 is fixedly connected to one end of the half gear 32, the stud 34 is threadedly connected to one end of the electric threaded rod 33, and the guide frame 35 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the power supply box 31.
[0058] The take-up and take-down assembly also includes a guide rail 36, a toothed block 37, a locking lever 38, and a winding drum 39;
[0059] The guide rail 36 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the power supply box 31, the toothed block 37 is slidably connected to the inside of the guide rail 36, the locking rod 38 is fixedly connected to one end of the toothed block 37, and the winding drum 39 is fixedly connected to one end of the stud 34.
[0060] The electric threaded rod 33 and the stud 34 are set on the same central axis. The guide frame 35 is used to provide space for guiding and sliding of the stud 34. The winding drum 39 is used to provide space for winding the power cord 16. The guide rail 36 is used to provide space for sliding of the toothed block 37.
[0061] Through the meshing between the half gear 32 and the tooth block 37, the winding drum 39 can be extended to the outside of the power box 31 while the half gear 32 is started to rotate, and the locking lever 38 is released from the restriction on the power cord 16.
[0062] Working principle: When the staff uses the equipment;
[0063] First, the operator can drive the half gear 32 to work, which can drive the stud 34 with a threaded connection at one end to slide vertically inside the guide frame 35, thereby driving the cable reel 39 installed at one end to extend to the outside of the power box 31. The operator can then take out and use the power cord 16 wound on the outside of the cable reel 39.
[0064] Next, while the electric threaded rod 33 rotates, it can drive the half gear 32 to rotate, so that the half gear 32 and the tooth block 37 mesh and connect, allowing the tooth block 37 to slide within the guide rail 36, and driving the clamping rod 38 to release the clamping of the power line 16.
[0065] This step can help staff wind up the power cord 16, reducing the damage to the power cord 16 caused by unpredictable external factors.
