Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steel wire production and processing technology, and in particular to an online waxing device for steel wire. Background Technology
[0002] The surface of heat-treated steel wire is usually in a highly reactive state, easily reacting with moisture and oxygen in the air, leading to rapid rusting (especially for carbon steel or low-alloy steel wire). A wax layer (such as paraffin wax or microcrystalline wax) can isolate air and moisture, forming a physical barrier to prevent oxidation and corrosion. Applying wax to heat-treated steel wire before it enters the next process (such as galvanizing, drawing, stranding, etc.) provides temporary protection and prevents rusting during handling or short-term storage. The conventional waxing method is dip coating, where the steel wire is transferred from the wax liquid. However, the wax layer on the surface of the steel wire can easily become too thick. Therefore, the wax layer on the surface of the steel wire needs to be treated before entering the next process to avoid affecting the processing of the steel wire.
[0003] Therefore, the waxing device for temporary short-term rust protection of steel wire needs further improvement to facilitate subsequent steel wire processing. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an online waxing device for steel wire, which can be used for short-term protection of steel wire and facilitates subsequent processing.
[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned utility model objectives, this utility model provides an online waxing device for steel wire, including a wax collection tank, a guide assembly, and a waxing cotton spool;
[0006] The wax collection tank is equipped with a heating tube; the top of the wax collection tank is equipped with a cover plate and a mesh plate, the cover plate and the mesh plate are arranged side by side at the opening of the wax collection tank, and the waxed cotton thread is stuck on the mesh plate and extends into the wax collection tank;
[0007] The guide assembly is provided on both sides of the wax collection tank, and the guide assembly includes a plurality of driven rollers.
[0008] As a further improvement of the utility model, the wax collection tank is provided with one or more partitions, and each adjacent partition is provided with a heating tube.
[0009] As a further improvement to the utility model, a temperature sensing element is provided inside the wax collection tank.
[0010] As a further improvement to the utility model, a liquid level sensor is provided on the inner wall of the wax collection tank.
[0011] This utility model discloses an online waxing device for steel wire. The heat-treated steel wire is guided to the top of the screen plate by the driven roller on the feeding side of the wax collection tank. The steel wire passes through the waxed cotton yarn ball to achieve waxing of the steel wire surface and is discharged from the driven roller on the discharge side of the wax collection tank.
[0012] The advantages of this online wire waxing device compared to existing technologies are as follows:
[0013] (1) By applying wax to the cotton yarn ball, the wax layer on the surface of the steel wire is thin and easy to remove, and will not interfere with subsequent plating, coating or drawing processes.
[0014] (2) It has low maintenance costs, is easy to operate, has strong applicability of steel wire size, and can regularly replace the waxed cotton yarn to ensure the waxing effect. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0020] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the present invention provides an online waxing device for steel wire, comprising a wax collection tank 1, a guide assembly 2, and a waxed cotton spool 3;
[0021] The wax collection tank 1 is equipped with a heating pipe 11 and one or more partitions 11. Each adjacent partition 11 is equipped with a heating pipe 11. The heating pipe 11 heats the wax liquid in the wax collection tank 1, so that the wax always remains liquid and is convenient for application. By setting multiple adjacent partitions 11, the wax collection tank 1 is divided into multiple heating areas. According to the needs of the production line, the appropriate area can be selected to heat the wax liquid as needed, without the need to keep the entire area of the wax collection tank 1 constantly warm.
[0022] The top of the wax collecting tank 1 is equipped with a cover plate 11 and a mesh plate 13. The cover plate 11 and the mesh plate 13 are arranged side by side at the opening of the wax collecting tank 1. The cover plate 11 can reduce the opening area of the wax collecting tank 1, that is, reduce the exposed area of the wax liquid in the tank, and prevent waste debris from contaminating the wax liquid. Figure 3-4As shown, the waxed cotton thread 3 is stuck on the mesh plate 13 and extends into the wax collection tank 1. The end of the waxed cotton thread 3 extends into the wax liquid. The wax, which is in a completely molten liquid state, has a fluidity close to that of water and is siphoned by the waxed cotton thread 3. The porous structure of the cotton fibers in the waxed cotton thread 3 has a good capillary effect on low-viscosity liquids such as molten wax. The wax liquid siphoned into the cotton thread will gradually solidify after being exposed to air, forming a solid wax layer. The steel wire 4 passes through the waxed cotton thread 3, thereby achieving the waxing of the steel wire surface.
[0023] The wax collection tank 1 is equipped with a temperature sensor 15, which can be an existing temperature sensor. The probe is directly inserted into the wax liquid to sense the temperature of the liquid in the tank, thus preventing the temperature from being too low and causing the wax liquid to solidify.
[0024] The inner wall of the wax collection tank 1 is equipped with a liquid level sensor 14. The liquid level sensor 14 is set at the lowest liquid level where the wax coating cotton spool 3 can be immersed in the wax liquid. It senses the amount of wax liquid in the tank in real time and transmits the information to the terminal control box, so that the management personnel can replenish the amount of wax liquid in time and avoid the wax liquid level being too low, so that the wax coating cotton spool 3 cannot absorb the wax liquid.
[0025] The wax collection tank 1 is provided with guide components 2 on both sides, and the guide components 2 include several driven rollers 21.
[0026] The present invention relates to an online waxing device for steel wire. The heat-treated steel wire 4 is guided by the driven roller 21 on the feeding side of the wax collection tank 1 to the top of the mesh plate 13. The steel wire 4 passes through the waxed cotton yarn 3 to achieve waxing of the steel wire surface and is discharged from the driven roller 21 on the discharge side of the wax collection tank 1.
[0027] The preferred embodiments of this utility model have been described in detail above, but this utility model is not limited to the embodiments described. Those skilled in the art can make various equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of this utility model, and these equivalent modifications or substitutions are all included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
