Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sprayer technology, and more specifically, to a Y-axis structure for a sprayer. Background Technology
[0002] Sprayers are key auxiliary equipment for ensuring efficient and stable die-casting production. They are mainly used for spray lubrication and cooling of critical parts such as mold cavities and slides. Their working principle involves atomizing a mixture of release agent and compressed air through precision nozzles and spraying it evenly onto the mold surface to form a protective film. This reduces adhesion between the casting and the mold, while simultaneously quickly dissipating heat from the mold, controlling the mold temperature within a reasonable range (typically 150-300℃) and extending mold life. Sprayers can be classified into stationary and robotic types; the former is suitable for simple working conditions, while the latter is adapted for complex molds.
[0003] Currently, the Y-axis of sprayers is mainly single-stroke, and its range of motion is limited by the stroke length of a single drive unit. This makes it inconvenient to drive the nozzles to all spray positions, making it difficult to meet the multi-area spraying needs of complex molds and thus limiting the use of sprayers. In view of this, we propose a Y-axis structure for sprayers. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, adapt to practical needs, and provide a Y-axis structure for a sprayer to solve the technical problem of insufficient Y-axis stroke length in current sprayers.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a Y-axis structure for a sprayer, including a mounting box, a first movable component slidably installed inside the mounting box, and a second movable component disposed inside the first movable component. The first movable component is a box structure, and the second movable component is slidably installed inside the first movable component. Limit seats are provided on the bottom inner wall and the side inner wall of the mounting box and the second movable component. A track groove is opened at the upper end of the limit seat. Track bars are provided at the lower end and the side end of the first movable component and the second movable component. The track bars are located in the track groove. The second movable component is composed of two rectangular steel sections welded together, and a bent steel section is provided on the outer side of the rectangular steel sections.
[0006] Preferably, a first toothed plate is provided on the side end of the first moving part, a first motor is provided on the side end of the mounting box, and a first gear is provided on the main shaft of the first motor inside the mounting box, the first gear meshing with the teeth on the first toothed plate.
[0007] Preferably, a second toothed plate is provided on the side end of the second moving member, a second motor is provided on the side end of the second moving member, and a second gear is installed on the main shaft of the second motor inside the second moving member, the second gear meshing with the teeth on the second toothed plate.
[0008] Preferably, the two rectangular steel sections are welded diagonally, the bent steel section is located on the outer surface of the rectangular steel section, and the bent steel section connects the outer sides of the rectangular steel section.
[0009] Preferably, the bent steel section is configured with multiple bends, and the shape of each bend of the bent steel section is semi-circular or arc-shaped. The multiple bends of the bent steel section and the rectangular steel section together form a honeycomb structure.
[0010] Preferably, the outer side of the bent steel is provided with shell parts at equal intervals, and the shell parts form a limiting groove. The inner wall of the side end of the first moving part is provided with a positioning block. The positioning block is T-shaped and the front end of the positioning block is provided with a positioning part, which is located in the limiting groove.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0012] 1. This utility model designs a first moving part structure, adopting a nested sliding structure design between the first and second moving parts. The first moving part can slide within the mounting box, and the second moving part can slide further within the first moving part. Combined with the cross-sectional structure design of the second moving part, the weight of the second moving part is reduced while ensuring strength, achieving stable superposition of strokes. This significantly increases the movement range of the Y-axis of the sprayer, easily covering more areas to be sprayed, meeting the spraying needs of complex molds in multiple areas, and solving the problem of insufficient Y-axis stroke length in current sprayers.
[0013] 2. This utility model also designs a second moving component structure, which consists of two diagonally welded rectangular steel sections. Bending steel sections on the outer sides connect the rectangular steel sections. The multiple bends of the bending steel sections and the rectangular steel sections form a honeycomb structure. This honeycomb structure effectively disperses various stresses generated during movement, reduces deformation of the second moving component, and ensures structural stability under movement and heavy load conditions. Furthermore, this design, while ensuring sufficient structural strength and rigidity of the second moving component, significantly reduces its own weight, avoiding load problems caused by excessive weight. This improves the overall stability of the sprayer's Y-axis structure, reduces drive energy consumption, and increases equipment response speed, thus improving the sprayer's working efficiency.

Detailed Implementation
[0020] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the present invention relates to a Y-axis structure of a sprayer, including a mounting box 101, a first movable component 201 slidably installed inside the mounting box 101, and a second movable component 301 disposed inside the first movable component 201. The first movable component 201 is a box structure, and the second movable component 301 is slidably installed inside the first movable component 201. Limiting seats 205 are provided on the inner walls of the bottom end and the side end of the mounting box 101 and the second movable component 301. A track groove is provided on the upper end of the limiting seat 205. Track bars 303 are provided on the lower end and the side end of the first movable component 201 and the second movable component 301. The track bars 303 are located in the track groove. The second movable component 301 is welded from two rectangular steel sections 304, and a bent steel section 305 is provided on the outer side of the rectangular steel section 304. This utility model adopts a nested sliding design, with the first and second moving parts overlapping to extend the stroke. Combined with the 301 cross-section structure design of the second moving part, it reduces weight while ensuring strength, guarantees the stability of the extended stroke, reduces deformation, improves efficiency, and ensures precise movement with double limiting, thus meeting the needs of complex molds.
[0021] Specifically, a first toothed plate 204 is provided on the side end of the first moving component 201, and a first motor 102 is provided on the side end of the mounting box 101. The main shaft of the first motor 102 is located inside the mounting box 101 and a first gear is provided. The first gear meshes with the teeth on the first toothed plate 204. When the first motor 102 is working, it can rotate the first gear. The first gear meshes with the first toothed plate 204, so that the power of the first motor 102 can be efficiently and accurately transmitted to the first moving component 201, ensuring that the movement response of the first moving component 201 is rapid and stable.
[0022] Furthermore, a second toothed plate 302 is provided on the side end of the second moving member 301, and a second motor 202 is also provided on the side end of the second moving member 301. The main shaft of the second motor 202 is located inside the second moving member 301 and a second gear is installed thereon. The second gear meshes with the teeth on the second toothed plate 302. When the second motor 202 is working, it can rotate the second gear. The meshing of the second gear with the second toothed plate 302 can move the position of the second moving member 301, ensuring that the movement of the second moving member 301 within the first moving member 201 also has high precision and stability.
[0023] It is worth noting that the two rectangular steel sections 304 are welded diagonally, and the bent steel section 305 is located on the outer surface of the rectangular steel sections 304, connecting the outer sides of the rectangular steel sections 304. The second moving part 301 is composed of two rectangular steel sections 304 and a bent steel section 305. It does not adopt a solid structure. The diagonal welding method allows the two rectangular steel sections 304 to form a stable integral structure, while the connection of the bent steel section 305 further enhances the integrity and structural strength of the second moving part 301. While ensuring strength, it can reduce the weight of the second moving part 301, effectively preventing load on the linear moving template and improving the stability of the Y-axis structure of the sprayer.
[0024] It is worth mentioning that the bent steel 305 is set with several bends, and the shape of each bend of the bent steel 305 is semi-circular or arc-shaped. The several bends of the bent steel 305 and the honeycomb structure 3051 formed with the rectangular steel 304 are also present. The bent steel 305 and rectangular steel 304, together with the outer shell 306, give the second moving part 301 a multi-chamber, truss-like (or approximately honeycomb, frame combination) cross-section. When subjected to longitudinal and lateral loads (such as inertial forces during spraying operations, equipment weight, etc.), it can effectively disperse stress. Compared with solid or simple cross-sections, it achieves high bending and torsional resistance with better material distribution, ensuring the structural stability of the crossbeam under motion and heavy load conditions, reducing deformation, and improving the operating accuracy of the equipment. Secondly, the multi-chamber hollow structure significantly reduces its own weight while ensuring strength. For equipment such as sprayers that require frequent movement, lightweighting can reduce the load on the drive mechanism (such as servo motors and transmission components with less stress), reduce energy consumption, and also improve the equipment response speed, making the crossbeam move more flexibly and accurately, and improving the stability of the equipment.
[0025] It is worth noting that outer shell portions 306 are equidistantly arranged on the outer side of the bent steel section 305, and limiting grooves 307 are formed between the outer shell portions 306. A positioning block 203 is provided on the inner wall of the side end of the first moving member 201. The positioning block 203 is T-shaped, and a positioning part 2031 is provided at the front end of the positioning block 203, which is located in the limiting groove 307. The limiting groove 307 formed by the equidistantly arranged outer shell portions 306 can form a stable cooperation relationship with the positioning part 2031 of the positioning block 203, which can provide secondary limiting for the second moving member 301, preventing lateral or longitudinal displacement during movement and improving the stability of the equipment.
[0026] Working Principle: This embodiment provides a Y-axis structure for a sprayer. In use, power is first provided by a first motor 102, whose main shaft drives the first gear inside the mounting box 101 to rotate. Since the first gear meshes with the first toothed plate 204 on the side of the first moving part 201, under the transmission action of the gear and toothed plate, the first moving part 201 moves along the limiting seat 205 inside the mounting box 101. At this time, the track bars 303 at the lower and side ends of the first moving part 201 are embedded in the track grooves of the limiting seat 205 inside the mounting box 101. The cooperation between 303 and the track groove provides guidance and limitation for the sliding of the first moving part 201, ensuring its stable extension or retraction into the mounting box 101 along the Y-axis. When the first moving part 201 reaches its maximum stroke, the second motor 202 starts, and its main shaft drives the second gear located inside the first moving part 201 to rotate. The second gear meshes with the second toothed plate 302 on the side of the second moving part 301, thereby driving the second moving part 301 to slide along the inside of the first moving part 201. At this time, the track bars at the lower and side ends of the second moving part 301... The track bar 303 is embedded in the track groove of the inner limiting seat 205 of the first moving member 201. Simultaneously, the positioning part 2031 at the front end of the positioning block 203 on the inner wall of the side end of the first moving member 201 is embedded in the limiting groove 307 between the outer shell part 306 of the second moving member 301. Through the dual cooperation of the track bar 303 and the track groove, and the positioning part 2031 and the limiting groove 307, the stability and accuracy of the sliding of the second moving member 301 are ensured, allowing the second moving member 301 to extend further beyond the first moving member 201, thus realizing the Y-axis travel. In the superimposed extension process, the second moving part 301 is composed of two diagonally welded rectangular steel sections 304 and an outer bent steel section 305. The multiple bends of the bent steel section 305 and the rectangular steel section 304 form a honeycomb structure 3051. This structure reduces its own weight while providing sufficient structural strength and rigidity to effectively resist various stresses generated during the movement, ensuring that the second moving part 301 remains stable when carrying the spraying component, thereby achieving stable and precise operation of the sprayer within a longer Y-axis travel range.
