Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material box maintenance technology, specifically to a material box maintenance and rust removal device. Background Technology

[0002] In modern industrial production, warehousing, logistics, and material recycling, metal bins (such as steel turnover boxes and shelving boxes) are widely used due to their high strength and load-bearing capacity. However, due to long-term exposure to humid, dusty, or corrosive environments, the surface of these bins is highly susceptible to rust. Rust not only affects the appearance of the bins but also weakens their structural strength, reduces their service life, and in severe cases, may even lead to material contamination or safety accidents. Therefore, regular maintenance of the bins, especially surface rust removal, is a crucial step in ensuring production safety and the long-term operation of equipment.

[0003] Currently, common methods for rust removal from trolleys mainly include manual grinding, sandblasting, and chemical cleaning. Manual grinding is inefficient, labor-intensive, and its quality is highly dependent on operator skill, making it difficult to guarantee consistency. Sandblasting, while more efficient, requires complex equipment, is costly, and generates large amounts of dust, negatively impacting the working environment and operator health, necessitating sophisticated dust collection systems. Chemical cleaning presents challenges in wastewater treatment, potentially causing environmental pollution and posing a risk of corrosion to certain materials. Furthermore, most existing rust removal equipment lacks automatic positioning and clamping functions for the trolley, leading to trolley displacement during processing, affecting the uniformity and safety of rust removal.

[0004] In view of the problems in the related technologies, this utility model proposes a rust removal and maintenance device for a material box to overcome the above-mentioned technical problems existing in the existing related technologies.

[0005] Therefore, the specific technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A rust removal and maintenance device for a hopper includes a fixed base, a support frame connected above the fixed base, a rust removal mechanism inside the support frame, and a connecting seat on both sides inside the support frame. Two sets of stainless steel wire brushes are evenly arranged at the front end of the connecting seat, a rotating shaft is connected to the middle of the stainless steel wire brushes, the rotating shaft is connected to the connecting seat through a bearing, a drive shaft is provided on one side of the rotating shaft, the drive shaft is connected to the connecting seat through a bearing, pulleys are connected to the rotating shaft and the drive shaft, and the two pulleys are connected by belt drive. The rear end of the connecting seat is connected to the output end of a hydraulic telescopic rod, and the hydraulic telescopic rod is connected to the fixed base.

[0007] Furthermore, the drive shaft is connected to a rotary motor, which is fixed inside the connecting seat. A limit rod is connected to the middle of the connecting seat, and the limit rod is connected through the support frame.

[0008] Furthermore, the fixed seat is provided with a groove, and a one-way threaded rod is provided inside the groove. A movable seat is threadedly connected to the one-way threaded rod. A placement seat is provided above the movable seat. A sliding groove is provided inside the placement seat. A two-way threaded rod is provided inside the sliding groove.

[0013] Furthermore, leather curtains are connected to both sides of the support frame.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] (1) By using a stainless steel wire brush driven by a rotary motor as the rust removal actuator, and driving the two sets of wire brushes to rotate synchronously through belt transmission, efficient and uniform rust removal is achieved on the surface of the material box. This significantly improves the rust removal efficiency and the consistency of the processing quality, reduces labor intensity, and the rust removal mechanism is connected to the fixed seat through a hydraulic telescopic rod, which can push the connecting seat to move back and forth along the guide of the limit rod, thereby adjusting the contact pressure and working position between the stainless steel wire brush and the surface of the material box. The hydraulic system has a smooth response and controllable thrust, which can adapt to material boxes of different thicknesses or surface conditions, ensuring that the rust removal force is moderate and avoiding damage to the box body.

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a rust removal and maintenance device for a material box is provided.

[0027] like Figures 1-4As shown, the rust removal device for the material box according to an embodiment of this utility model includes a fixed base 1, which serves as the basic support structure for the entire machine. A support frame 2 is connected above the fixed base 1. A rust removal mechanism 3 is installed inside the support frame 2. A leather curtain 25 is connected to both sides of the support frame 2. The support frame 2 provides an installation platform for the rust removal mechanism 3, the dust collection hood 17, the photoelectric sensor 23, etc., and together with the leather curtain 25, forms a relatively enclosed working area. The rust removal mechanism 3 includes connecting seats 301 located on both sides inside the support frame 2. Two sets of stainless steel wire brushes 302 are evenly arranged at the front end of the connecting seats 301, directly contacting the surface of the material box. The stainless steel wire brush 302 removes oxide layers and rust through high-speed rotational friction. A rotating shaft 303 is connected to the middle of the brush, and the shaft 303 is connected to a connecting seat 301 via a bearing. A drive shaft 304 is located on one side of the rotating shaft 303, and the drive shaft 304 is connected to the connecting seat 301 via a bearing. Pulleys 305 are connected to the rotating shaft 303 and the drive shaft 304, and the two pulleys 305 are connected by a belt drive. The rear end of the connecting seat 301 is connected to the output end of a hydraulic telescopic rod 306, which is connected to a fixed base 1. The hydraulic telescopic rod 306 is used to push... The connecting seat 301 moves back and forth to adjust the contact pressure and working position of the stainless steel wire brush 302 with the surface of the material box. The drive shaft 304 is connected to the rotary motor 4, which is fixed inside the connecting seat 301. A limit rod 5 is connected to the middle of the connecting seat 301. The limit rod 5 is connected through the support frame 2 to provide linear guidance for the back and forth movement of the connecting seat 301. A dust collection hood 17, shaped like an inverted "U" or a cone, is provided at the top of the support frame 2, facing the rust removal area. A dust collector 19 is connected to the top of the dust collection hood 17 through a dust collection pipe 18. The dust collector 19 contains a filter element (such as a cloth bag or filter). The dust collector 19 is connected to a fan 20 via a connecting pipe on one side. The fan 20 and the dust collector 19 are located below the fixed base 1. A laser rangefinder 22 is connected to a connecting rod 21 on one side of the connecting base 301. The laser emits a laser towards the material box and measures the distance between the material box and the connecting base 301 in real time. A photoelectric sensor 23 is installed at the top of the support frame 2 to detect whether the material box has entered the working position. The sensor determines the position of the material box as a prerequisite for starting the equipment. A controller 24 is provided on one side of the fixed base 1. The core of the controller adopts a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) system to realize intelligent control.

[0028] like Figures 1-5As shown, the fixed base 1 has a groove 6, and a one-way threaded rod 7 is provided inside the groove 6. A movable base 8 is threadedly connected to the one-way threaded rod 7. By rotating the one-way threaded rod 7, the movable base 8 can be moved, so that the material box above the movable base 8 can be moved to the rust removal mechanism 3. A placement base 9 is provided above the movable base 8. A sliding groove 10 is provided inside the placement base 9. A two-way threaded rod 11 is provided inside the sliding groove 10. The two sides of the two-way threaded rod 11 have opposite threads. A slider 12 is threadedly connected to the two-way threaded rod 11. The slider moves along the sliding groove 10 as the two-way threaded rod 11 rotates. The connecting block 13 drives the clamping plate 14 to move synchronously, thus completing the clamping of the material box. For tightening or loosening operations, the slider 12 is connected to the clamping plate 14 via the connecting block 13. The clamping plate 14 is equipped with a pressure sensor. The one-way threaded rod 7 is connected to the fixed seat 1 via a bearing. One end of the one-way threaded rod 7 passes through the fixed seat 1 and is connected to the first drive motor 15. The first drive motor 15 is fixed to the outside of the fixed seat 1. The two-way threaded rod 11 is connected to the placement seat 9 via a bearing. One end of the two-way threaded rod 11 passes through the placement seat 9 and is connected to the second drive motor 16, which provides a power source for the two-way threaded rod 11 to drive the slider 12 to move in opposite directions or in opposite directions, thereby realizing the automatic clamping or loosening of the material box. The second drive motor 16 is fixed to the outside of the placement seat 9.

[0029] To facilitate understanding of the above-mentioned technical solutions of this utility model, the working principle or operation method of this utility model in actual process will be described in detail below.

[0030] In practical use, the rust-removing bin is first placed on the placement seat 9 of the device. Then, the controller 24 starts the second drive motor 16, driving the bidirectional threaded rod 11 to rotate. Since the threads on both sides of the bidirectional threaded rod 11 are in opposite directions, the two sliders 12 mounted on it move synchronously in opposite directions under the guidance of the sliding groove 10. Through the connecting block 13, the clamping plates 14 on both sides move towards the center, realizing automatic clamping of the bin. The pressure sensor installed inside the clamping plate 14 monitors the clamping force in real time to prevent the bin from deforming due to excessive clamping or slipping due to excessive looseness, ensuring stable and reliable clamping. After clamping is complete, the controller 24 starts the first drive motor 15, driving the one-way threaded rod 7 to rotate. This causes the moving seat 8, which is threadedly connected to it, along with the placement seat 9 and the entire material box, to move forward along the groove 6 on the fixed seat 1, precisely feeding it into the rust removal station inside the support frame 2. This ensures that the surface of the material box is directly facing the working area of ​​the stainless steel wire brush 302. The photoelectric sensor 23 detects the material box entering the working area and transmits a signal to the controller 24 (PLC system), triggering the rust removal mechanism 3 to enter the ready-to-run state. Once the material box is in place, the laser rangefinder 22 is installed on one side of the connecting seat 301 via the connecting rod 21, measuring the distance between the surface of the material box and the connecting seat 301 in real time and feeding the data back to the controller 24. The controller 24 automatically adjusts the extension stroke of the hydraulic telescopic rod 306 according to preset parameters, pushing the connecting seat 301 forward along the guide of the limit rod 5, so that the stainless steel wire brush 302 smoothly adheres to the surface of the material box, ensuring moderate brushing pressure and avoiding damage to the box or incomplete rust removal. Next, the rotary motor 4 starts, driving the rotating shaft 303 and the two sets of stainless steel wire brushes 302 mounted on it to rotate at high speed through the drive shaft 304 and the pulley 305 belt transmission mechanism. This thoroughly cleans the surface of the material box, effectively removing the oxide layer and rust. During the cleaning process, the curtains 25 on both sides effectively block rust residue and dust from splashing. At the same time, the dust suction hood 17 at the top creates negative pressure under the action of the exhaust fan 20, drawing the generated dust and debris into the dust collector 19 through the suction pipe 18. After being filtered by the filter element, clean air is discharged, ensuring a clean and safe working environment. During the rust removal process, the first drive motor 15 runs continuously, driving the moving seat 8 to move the material box forward slowly and evenly, allowing the stainless steel wire brushes 302 to cover the entire side of the material box section by section, achieving uniform rust removal treatment on every area of ​​the surface. When the material box has completely passed through the rust removal area, the first drive motor 15 stops running, and the moving seat 8 stops moving forward. Subsequently, the hydraulic telescopic rod 306 automatically retracts, causing the connecting seat 301 to move backward, so that the stainless steel wire brush 302 is detached from the surface of the material box. Then, the second drive motor 16 reverses, the clamping plate 14 is released, and the operator can remove the processed material box. By reversing the first drive motor 15, the moving seat 8 is returned to the starting position, and the next material box to be processed is placed in, and the next cycle begins.

[0031] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
