Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of iron oxide cleaning technology, specifically to a high-efficiency iron oxide cleaning vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] In the continuous casting process, when the billet exits the machine, its surface reacts with oxygen at high temperatures, generating a large amount of iron oxide scale. The adhesion of this scale is particularly pronounced on the sides of the billet, causing numerous adverse effects on subsequent processes.

[0003] Taking side marking machines as an example, if the iron oxide scale on the side of the continuously cast billet is not cleaned in time, the markings printed on the side of the billet by the marking machine, such as the furnace number and steel grade information, will be incomplete or illegible due to the removal of the iron oxide scale. This not only makes it difficult to trace the quality of the product, but also easily leads to confusion in subsequent processing, affecting the accuracy and efficiency of production. Poor marking due to iron oxide scale will bring additional manpower and time costs to enterprises for checking and verifying product information.

[0004] Furthermore, if the iron oxide scale is not thoroughly cleaned during subsequent rolling processes, it will be pressed into the surface of the steel billet under the rolling force, forming surface defects, reducing the surface quality of the product, and in severe cases, potentially leading to product scrap. Surface defects caused by the indentation of iron oxide scale will significantly impact the economic benefits of enterprises.

[0005] Currently, existing methods for cleaning iron oxide scale, such as manual cleaning, are extremely inefficient and labor-intensive, and cannot meet the needs of continuous and efficient production in continuous casting machines. Some high-pressure water spraying methods are not suitable for continuous casting processes due to issues such as quality, energy consumption, and difficulty in handling accumulated water. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of this, the present invention provides a high-efficiency iron oxide sweeper, which aims to solve the technical problems described in the prior art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a high-efficiency iron oxide sweeper, comprising:

[0008] The movable seat is located on the base and moves horizontally under the drive of the moving components;

[0009] The upper support is fixed to the movable seat via a connector;

[0010] The motor is fixedly mounted on the upper support;

[0011] A rotating shaft is horizontally mounted on the upper support, with its first end connected to the power output end of the motor.

[0012] A flange is fixed to the second end of the rotating shaft, and multiple steel wires are fixed on the flange.

[0013] A further improvement of this utility model is that the moving component includes a lead screw, which is horizontally mounted on the base and parallel to the rotation axis, and the lead screw is threadedly connected to the movable seat.

[0014] A further improvement of this utility model is that an adjusting wheel is fixedly provided at the end of the lead screw.

[0015] A further improvement of this utility model is that a first connector is fixedly provided on the power output end of the motor, and a second connector is fixedly provided on the first end of the rotating shaft, and the first connector and the second connector are connected by a plurality of first bolts.

[0016] A further improvement of this utility model is that the connecting member is a pin.

[0017] A further improvement of this utility model is that a bushing is fitted on the rotating shaft and is coaxial with it. The outside of the bushing is fixedly connected to the upper support, and the inside of the bushing is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft.

[0018] A further improvement of this utility model is that the steel wire is mounted on the flange by a second bolt.

[0019] The technological advancements achieved by this utility model due to the adoption of the above technical solution are as follows:

[0020] This invention provides a high-efficiency iron oxide cleaning vehicle. A motor drives a rotating shaft, causing the flange and steel wire to rotate at high speed. As the steel wire rotates, it comes into contact with stubborn iron oxide scale on the sides of the cast billet, quickly and effectively removing it. Compared with existing technologies, this significantly improves cleaning efficiency, meets the needs of continuous and high-efficiency production in continuous casting machines, and solves the problems of low efficiency and high labor intensity associated with manual cleaning.

[0021] In this invention, after a period of use, the steel wire in contact with the iron oxide scale will wear out. The lead screw in the moving assembly is threadedly connected to the movable seat. The movable seat moves horizontally, which in turn drives the upper support to move horizontally. The upper support drives the motor, rotating shaft, flange, and steel wire to move synchronously, thereby adjusting the distance between the steel wire and the iron oxide scale. This allows the steel wire that was not previously in contact with the iron oxide scale to come into contact with it, thus saving the use of steel wire. Attached Figure Description

[0022] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model, the drawings used in the description of the embodiments will be briefly introduced below. Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort.

[0026] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, in the following description, specific details such as particular system structures and technologies are set forth for illustrative purposes rather than for limiting purposes, in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the present invention. However, those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention can also be implemented in other embodiments without these specific details. In other cases, detailed descriptions of well-known systems, devices, circuits, and methods are omitted to avoid unnecessary details hindering the description of the present invention.

[0027] This utility model provides a high-efficiency iron oxide sweeper, as detailed in the attached instruction manual. Figure 1 It can be seen that a high-efficiency iron oxide sweeper mainly includes the following parts or components: movable seat 15, upper support 13, motor 4, rotating shaft 8, and flange 9.

[0028] In this utility model, the movable seat 15 is mounted on the base 1 and moves horizontally under the drive of the moving component; the upper support 13 is fixed on the movable seat 15 through a connector; the motor 4 is fixed on the upper support 13; the rotating shaft 8 is horizontally mounted on the upper support 13, and its first end is connected to the power output end of the motor 4; the flange 9 is fixed on the second end of the rotating shaft 8, and multiple steel wires 10 are fixed on the flange 9.

[0029] The motor 4 drives the rotating shaft 8, which in turn drives the flange 9 and the steel wire 10 to rotate at high speed. When the steel wire 10 rotates, it comes into contact with the stubborn iron oxide scale on the side of the billet, and the steel wire 10 can quickly and effectively remove the stubborn iron oxide scale on the side of the billet. This greatly improves the cleaning efficiency, meets the needs of continuous and high-efficiency production of continuous casting machines, and solves the problems of low efficiency and high labor intensity of manual cleaning.

[0030] After a period of use, the steel wire 10 that is in contact with the iron oxide scale will wear out. The moving component drives the movable seat 15 to move horizontally, and the movable seat 15 drives the upper support 13 to move horizontally. The upper support 13 drives the motor 4, the rotating shaft 8, the flange 9, and the steel wire 10 to move closer to the iron oxide scale, thereby adjusting the distance between the steel wire 10 and the iron oxide scale, so that the steel wire 10 that was not in contact with the iron oxide scale before will come into contact with the iron oxide scale, thereby saving the use of steel wire 10.

[0031] Specifically, a first connector 5 is fixedly mounted on the power output end of the motor 4, and a second connector 6 is fixedly mounted on the first end of the rotating shaft 8. The first connector 5 and the second connector 6 are connected by multiple first bolts (not shown in the figure). Through the cooperation of the first connector 5 and the second connector 6, the torque output by the motor 4 can be smoothly and efficiently transmitted to the rotating shaft 8, driving the steel wire 10 to rotate at high speed to clean the iron oxide scale. The tight connection of the multiple first bolts ensures that the first connector 5 and the second connector 6 do not loosen when transmitting large torques, ensuring the stability and reliability of power transmission, and enabling it to continuously and effectively carry out the iron oxide scale cleaning work.

[0032] Specifically, the connecting component is pin 14. Pin 14 has a simple structure, is cylindrical, and has a low manufacturing process and low cost. During assembly, simply inserting pin 14 into the corresponding pin holes of the upper support 13 and the movable seat 15 quickly completes the connection between the two, without the need for complicated tools or operations. This significantly reduces the difficulty of installation, improves the overall assembly efficiency of the sweeper, and ensures that the equipment can be put into use quickly.

[0033] Specifically, a bushing 7 is fitted onto the rotating shaft 8 and is coaxial with it. The outer side of the bushing 7 is fixedly connected to the upper support 13, and the inner side of the bushing 7 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 8. During operation, the rotating shaft 8 drives the steel wire 10 to rotate at high speed to clean the iron oxide scale, which will generate vibration and impact. The bushing 7 provides a stable support structure for the rotating shaft 8. By being fixedly connected to the upper support 13, the rotating shaft 8 is firmly fixed in a predetermined position, effectively limiting its radial and axial displacement. This ensures that the rotating shaft 8 maintains coaxial rotation at high speed, reduces additional wear and noise caused by shaking, improves the stability and reliability of the sweeper operation, and thus ensures the efficient and precise cleaning of the iron oxide scale.

[0034] Specifically, the steel wire 10 is mounted on the flange 9 via a second bolt 12. This bolted connection allows for quick disassembly and replacement of the steel wire 10. When the steel wire 10 requires maintenance due to wear or breakage, the component can be separated simply by loosening the second bolt 12, without the need for complex tools or specialized skills. Compared to welded or one-piece designs, this method reduces maintenance time and costs.

[0035] As one embodiment, in conjunction with the appendix to the specification Figure 1As can be seen, the moving component includes a lead screw 3, which is horizontally mounted on the base 1 and parallel to the rotating shaft 8. The lead screw 3 is threadedly connected to the movable seat 15. An adjusting wheel 2 is fixed at the end of the lead screw 3. By rotating the adjusting wheel 2 at the end of the lead screw 3, the lead screw 3 is driven to rotate horizontally on the base 1. Since the lead screw 3 is threadedly connected to the movable seat 15, according to the principle of threaded transmission, the rotational motion of the lead screw 3 will be converted into the linear horizontal movement of the movable seat 15. The movable seat 15 drives the upper support 13, motor 4, rotating shaft 8, and steel wire 10 to move synchronously.

[0037] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features.
