Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steel cord production technology, and more specifically to a device for removing soap solution from monofilaments of steel cord. Background Technology
[0002] The production of steel cord involves multiple processes, including dry drawing, electroplating, wet drawing, and stranding. After dry drawing, the steel wire is electroplated. Following electroplating, it undergoes wet drawing. Wet drawing is the process of gradually thinning a brass wire through multiple dies. Soap solution is used in the wet drawing process to act as a lubricant, facilitating the drawing process.
[0003] After drawing, it is necessary to remove the soap residue adhering to the surface of the steel wire. Excessive soap residue adhering to the surface of the steel wire, along with dust from the air, will affect the adhesion between the steel cord and the rubber in the subsequent stranding process (twisting multiple wet-drawn monofilaments into a rope), thus impacting the performance of the final product. Therefore, removing the soap residue from the surface of the monofilaments during the production process is particularly important. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the technical problems existing in the monofilament soap removal liquid in the prior art, this utility model proposes a monofilament soap removal liquid device for steel cord, including multiple swing arm structures arranged on both sides of the monofilament moving path. The swing arm structure includes a connecting seat, a swing arm, a balance arm, and a wiping component.

[0025] To better understand the technical content of this utility model, specific embodiments are provided below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0026] This utility model proposes a soap removal liquid device for monofilaments of steel cord, including multiple swing arm structures arranged on both sides of the moving path of monofilament 300, with the number of swing arm structures being greater than or equal to two. Each swing arm structure includes a connecting seat 110, a swing arm 120, a balance arm 130, and a wiping component 140.
[0027] Combination Figure 1 As shown, the connecting seat 110 is connected to the housing 210 of the wet drawing equipment 200 and is located on one side of the moving path of the monofilament 300.
[0028] Understandably, multiple swing arm structures are arranged in an alternating pattern on both sides of the monofilament 300 moving path, for example... Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 As shown, the first swing arm structure 101 is installed on the right side of the moving path of the monofilament 300, and the second swing arm structure 102 is installed on the left side of the moving path of the monofilament 300. Through this alternating arrangement, the soap liquid adhering to the surface of the monofilament 300 can be better removed.
[0029] In an optional embodiment, the connecting seat 110 is configured as a sheet structure, and the connecting seat 110 is fixed to the surface of the housing 210 by two screws, and the swing arm 120 is hinged to the connecting seat 110 by a pin.
[0030] Preferably, the connector 110 has a waist-shaped groove, and the screw is installed into the waist-shaped groove.
[0031] In this way, the connecting seat 110 can be adjusted in lateral position along the length of the waist-shaped groove, which is more conducive to installation and adjustment to a suitable position.
[0032] Combination Figure 2 As shown, the first end of the swing arm 120 is hinged to the connecting seat 110, and the second end is connected to the wiping component 140.
[0033] Optionally, the swing arm 120 is configured as a rod with a rectangular cross-section, and the balance arm 130 is mounted on the side surface of the swing arm 120 away from the monofilament 300.
[0034] Thus, the swing arm 120 has four sides, all of which can serve as connection surfaces with other structures, which is beneficial for connecting other structures from multiple sides.
[0035] The wiping component 140 wipes the surface of the monofilament 300. Optionally, the wiping component 140 is made of wool felt.
[0036] Furthermore, the balance arm 130 is connected to the swing arm 120 and extends toward the side of the swing arm 120 away from the moving path of the monofilament 300, so that the wiping component 140 maintains a certain contact pressure with the monofilament 300.
[0037] Understandably, the further the balance arm 130 extends away from the moving path of the monofilament 300, the greater the contact pressure of the bottom wiping component 140 on the monofilament 300. While achieving a better cleaning effect, this also easily causes wear on the wiping component 140.
[0038] Understandably, the contact pressure between the wiping component 140 and the monofilament 300 can be controlled by adjusting the position or weight of the balance arm 130, but the wiping component 140 is a consumable part with a corresponding replacement cycle. Therefore, the wiping component 140 is detachably connected to the second end of the swing arm 120.
[0039] When the wiping component 140 is used to the point of reaching the replacement condition, the wiping component 140 shall be replaced. Optionally, the wool felt may be replaced when the surface of the wool felt is dirty or has deep indentations.
[0040] Specifically, during replacement, grasp the balance arm 130 by hand to disengage the wiping component 140 from the monofilament 300. At this point, the wiping component 140 can be replaced. It is understandable that when the wiping component 140 is disengaged from the monofilament 300, the wiping component 140 will not perform the wiping function. Therefore, by setting multiple swing arm structures alternately on the left and right, the wiping blind spot caused by replacing a single wiping component 140 can be effectively avoided.
[0041] Combination Figure 3 As shown, the balance arm 130 is configured as a cylindrical rod, and the outer wall of the balance arm 130 is provided with a counterweight 132, which can move along the length of the balance arm 130.
[0042] Specifically, the outer wall of the balance arm 130 is provided with a threaded section 131, and the counterweight 132 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the threaded section 131 of the balance arm 130.
[0043] Thus, when the counterweight 132 is rotated, the counterweight 132 moves along the axis of the balance arm 130 on the surface of the balance arm 130. The farther the counterweight 132 is from the swing arm 120, the greater the contact pressure between the wiping component 140 and the monofilament 300. The closer the counterweight 132 is to the swing arm 120, the smaller the contact pressure between the wiping component 140 and the monofilament 300.
[0044] Optionally, the bottom of the swing arm 120 is connected to a connecting structure 150, and the wiping component 140 is detachably connected to the connecting structure 150.
[0045] Combination Figure 4 As shown, the connection structure 150 includes a connection block 151, which is fixed to the swing arm 120 by screws 153. The connection block 151 has a plug-in block 152 at one end facing the swing arm 120, and a pin 154 at the end of the connection block 151 away from the connection seat 110. The pin 154 can be inserted into the wiping component 140 to fix the wiping component 140 to the connection block 151.
[0046] The bottom of the swing arm 120 is provided with a slot 121, into which the plug block 152 can be inserted.
[0047] In a specific embodiment, the plug block 52 is inserted into the slot 121, and then the screw 153 is tightened to fix the connecting block 151 to the outer wall of the swing arm 120. Then the wiping component 140 is inserted into the pin 154. When the wiping component 140 needs to be replaced, the old wiping component 140 is pulled out and the new wiping component 140 is inserted.
[0048] In conjunction with the above embodiments, the monofilament soap removal device proposed in this utility model has two or more swing arm structures that are staggered on both sides of the monofilament. A wiping component is provided at the bottom of the swing arm structure. The wiping component is kept in close contact with the monofilament by the weight of the swing arm structure itself, and a certain contact pressure is maintained. The soap on the surface of the monofilament is wiped away by the wiping component. By replacing the wiping component, the multiple staggered swing arm structures can avoid cleaning blind spots caused by the window period of replacing the wiping component, and keep the monofilament in a continuously clean state.
[0049] Although the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art to which this invention pertains can make various modifications and refinements without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of this invention shall be determined by the claims.
