Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of steel pipe galvanizing, and in particular to a zinc slag grabbing device. Background Technology

[0002] In the hot-dip galvanizing process of steel pipes, zinc dross in the zinc pot has a significant impact on the quality of the hot-dip galvanized products. Therefore, it is necessary to clean the zinc dross in the zinc pot regularly to keep the galvanizing solution clean. In order not to affect production efficiency, most dross removers scrape the bottom of the zinc pot at high temperatures. Most existing dross removers use cylinders or hydraulic cylinders to control the grabbing and unloading actions of the grab bucket, achieving semi-automatic control of the grab bucket. However, cylinders or hydraulic cylinders require air or hydraulic oil, making the control mechanism complex, and their use in the high-temperature area of ​​the zinc pot poses significant safety hazards.

[0014] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 2 The present invention will be described in further detail below.

[0015] Embodiment 1 of this utility model

[0016] Reference Figure 1 This utility model discloses a zinc slag grabbing device, including a first grab bucket 1, a second grab bucket 2, and a mounting plate 3. Both the first grab bucket 1 and the second grab bucket 2 are located below the mounting plate 3. A rotating shaft 4 is provided between the first grab bucket 1 and the second grab bucket 2, and the first grab bucket 1 and the second grab bucket 2 are symmetrically arranged about the rotating shaft 4. Two separately arranged first connecting rods 41 are fixed on the rotating shaft 4. The first connecting rods 41 extend upward through the mounting plate 3 and are fixed to a connecting plate 42. The first connecting rods 41 are capable of moving up and down.

[0017] Both sides of the first grab bucket 1 are fixed with first fixing blocks 11, which are rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 4. Both sides of the second grab bucket 2 are fixed with second fixing blocks 21, which are also rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 4. Two second connecting rods 12 are provided between the first grab bucket 1 and the mounting plate 3. One end of the second connecting rod 12 is hinged to the bottom of the mounting plate 3, and the other end of the second connecting rod 12 is hinged to the top wall of the first grab bucket 1. A third connecting rod 22 is provided between the second grab bucket 2 and the mounting plate 3. One end of the third connecting rod 22 is hinged to the bottom of the mounting plate 3, and the other end of the third connecting rod 22 is hinged to the top wall of the second grab bucket 2.

[0018] The mounting plate 3 is equipped with a drive assembly 5 that drives the connecting plate 42 to move upward. When the mounting plate 3 moves upward, the first connecting rod 41 drives the rotating shaft 4 to move upward, thereby closing the first grab bucket 1 and the second grab bucket 2.

[0019] The drive assembly 5 includes two moving rods 51 and hooks 52. The two moving rods 51 pass through the mounting plate 3. A limit plate 53 is fixed to the bottom of each moving rod 51, and a fourth connecting rod 54 is fixed to the top of each moving rod 51. The hook 52 is fixed to the fourth connecting rod 54, and a first lifting ring 55 is fixed to the top of each moving rod 51. The crane's hook is hooked onto the first lifting ring 55. A mounting block 56 is fixed to the top of the connecting plate 42. Mounting holes 561 are provided on the mounting block 56, and the mounting holes 561 are secured to the hooks 52 by rope.

[0020] When grabbing zinc dross, firstly, a rope is tied between the mounting block 56 and the hook 52. Then, the first lifting ring 55 is pulled upward by the overhead crane. The first lifting ring 55 drives the moving rod 51 to move upward (at this time, the mounting plate 3 has not yet moved). This causes the fourth connecting rod 54 to drive the connecting plate 42 to move upward. The connecting plate 42 drives the first connecting rod 41 to move upward. The first connecting rod 41 drives the rotating shaft 4 to move upward. The rotating shaft 4 drives the first grab bucket 1 and the second grab bucket 2 to grab the zinc dross and then close. When the first grab bucket 1 and the second grab bucket 2 are closed, the limiting plate 53 abuts against the bottom of the mounting plate 3. When the moving rod 51 is pulled upward, the mounting plate 3, the first grab bucket 1, and the second grab bucket 2 move upward together.

[0021] When it is necessary to open the first grab bucket 1 and the second grab bucket 2, the operator needs to untie the rope between the hook 52 and the mounting block 56. Then, the first connecting rod 41 moves downward under the action of gravity, and the rotating shaft 4 moves downward accordingly, opening the first grab bucket 1 and the second grab bucket 2.

[0022] Embodiment 2 of this utility model

[0023] Reference Figure 2The difference from Embodiment 1 lies in the drive assembly 5. The drive assembly 5 includes a winch 57 and a support frame 58. The support frame 58 includes a top plate 581 and support plates 582. Two spaced-apart support plates 582 are fixed to the bottom of the top plate 581. The winch 57 is fixed below the support plates 582, and the wire rope 571 of the winch 57 is fixed to the connecting plate 42.

[0024] A second lifting ring 583 is fixed to the top of the top plate 581, and the hook of the overhead crane hooks onto the second lifting ring 583. When the first grab bucket 1 and the second grab bucket 2 are closed, the wire rope 571 of the winch 57 rises, driving the connecting plate 42 to rise, thereby driving the first connecting rod 41 and the rotating shaft 4 to rise, thus closing the first grab bucket 1 and the second grab bucket 2. When the first grab bucket 1 and the second grab bucket 2 are opened, the wire rope 571 of the winch 57 descends, the first connecting rod 41 and the rotating shaft 4 descend, thereby opening the first grab bucket 1 and the second grab bucket 2.

[0025] Connecting blocks 584 are fixed on both sides of the top plate 581, and electromagnets 585 are fixed below the connecting blocks 584. Two magnetic blocks 586 are fixed on the top of the connecting plate 42, each corresponding to an electromagnet 585. When the connecting plate 42 moves upward and the first grab bucket 1 and the second grab bucket 2 are closed, the electromagnets 585 are energized, and the magnetic blocks 586 are attracted and fixed to the electromagnets 585. When it is necessary to open the first grab bucket 1 and the second grab bucket 2, the electromagnets 585 are de-energized first.

[0026] The advantage of Embodiment 2 of this utility model is that it eliminates the need for operators to tie the hook 52 and the mounting block 56 with ropes, thereby improving work efficiency and the personal safety of operators.

[0027] The above are all preferred embodiments of this utility model, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape and principle of this utility model should be covered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
