Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to cable powdering, and more particularly to a powdering machine. Background Technology
[0002] During the production of wires and cables, semi-finished wires and stranded wires are coated with a layer of talcum powder through a powdering device to prevent them from sticking together after being wound onto the spool. This also makes it easier to separate the wire core from the sheath when the finished product is wrapped in a sheath.
[0003] During cable production, not all cables need to be powdered. When the produced cables do not need to be powdered, the cable powdering machine needs to be moved away to avoid interfering with the passage of the cables. Alternatively, an isolation layer (bag) can be placed on the cable powdering machine so that the cables can slide on the isolation layer. In order to prevent the powdering machine from raising the height of the cables, the cover needs to be opened and the isolation layer placed on the upper part of the powdering chamber. This is not convenient to use. Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0005] A powder coating machine includes a frame, a powder trough on the upper part of the frame, the space inside the powder trough being divided by a partition into a powder coating trough in the middle and recovery troughs at both ends, the ends of the powder coating trough and the recovery troughs at both ends being provided with wire passage ports, an auger being rotatably installed inside the powder trough, and a flip-up cover being provided on the top of the powder trough, the cover being provided with a groove that fits with the wire passage port.
[0006] In one possible implementation, the wire passage is arranged along the central axis of the partition and the end plates at both ends of the powder tank, and the wire passage is a strip-shaped opening that is open at the top and extends vertically.
[0007] In one possible implementation, the auger is provided with at least one set of helical blades facing opposite directions.
[0008] In one possible implementation, the end plates at both ends of the powder trough are provided with a horizontal conveying roller with adjustable height and a set of vertical conveying rollers with spacing.
[0009] In one possible implementation, the bottom of both the powder coating tank and the recycling tanks at both ends are provided with discharge ports.
[0010] In one possible implementation, the outlet of the powder coating tank is equipped with a sealing door, and the outlet of the recycling tank is connected to a Y-shaped guide pipe.
[0011] In one possible implementation, a motor is mounted on the frame, and the motor drives the auger to rotate via a transmission assembly, which is housed inside a protective cover.
[0012] In one possible implementation, an electrical control box is provided on the Y-shaped feed tube.
[0013] In one possible implementation, the bottom of the frame is also provided with height-adjustable feet.
[0014] It should be understood that the above general description and the following detailed description are merely exemplary and do not limit the present invention.
[0015] In this invention, when the wire core needs to be powdered, the cover is flipped open, opening the powder coating tank and the tops of the recycling tanks at both ends. By driving the auger to rotate forward and backward, the powder in the powder coating tank rises upward. The wire core is then passed through the wire passage openings of the powder coating tank and the recycling tanks at both ends, and the wire core comes into contact with the talcum powder in the powder coating tank, thus performing the powder coating operation. After the wire core passes through the recycling tank, the excess talcum powder falls off and is collected by the recycling tank. When the wire core does not need to be powdered, the cover is flipped over to cover the top of the powder tank, and the wire core passes directly through the groove of the cover, thus avoiding contact between the wire core and the powder. Therefore, it is not necessary to frequently adjust the position of the powder passing machine, and it can be used as a conductor mechanism when the wire core does not need to be powdered.
[0016] When the auger rotates, both the first and second spiral blades convey powder towards the center, causing the powder to rise in the middle. This helps to keep the raised part of the powder away from the recycling troughs at both ends, thus preventing the wire core from carrying away too much powder and avoiding frequent powder refilling.

[0028] Reference Figures 1-4 In some embodiments, the present invention provides a powder coating machine; including a frame 14, a powder trough on the upper part of the frame 14, the space inside the powder trough being divided by a partition into a powder coating trough 21 in the middle and recovery troughs 20 at both ends, the ends of the powder coating trough 21 and the recovery troughs 20 at both ends being provided with wire passages, an auger 23 being rotatably installed inside the powder trough, and a flip-up cover 5 being provided on the top of the powder trough, the cover 5 being provided with a groove 6 that fits with the wire passage.
[0029] In the above embodiments, when it is necessary to coat the wire core with powder, the cover 5 is opened by flipping it over. At this time, the top of the powder coating tank 21 and the recovery tanks 20 at both ends are open. By driving the auger 23 to rotate forward and reverse, the powder in the powder coating tank 21 can be raised upward. Then the wire core is passed through the wire passage of the powder coating tank 21 and the recovery tanks 20 at both ends in sequence. The wire core comes into contact with the talcum powder in the powder coating tank 21, thereby coating the wire core. After the wire core passes through the recovery tank 20, the excess talcum powder falls off and is collected by the recovery tank 20. When it is not necessary to coat the wire core with powder, the cover 5 is covered on the top of the powder tank by flipping it over. The wire core passes directly through the groove 6 of the cover 5, thereby avoiding contact between the wire core and the powder. Therefore, it is not necessary to frequently adjust the position of the powder passing machine. When it is not necessary to coat the wire core with powder, it can be used as a wire conductor mechanism.
[0030] Specifically, the cover 5 is flipped and connected to the frame 14 via the hinge assembly 10.
[0031] In some embodiments, the wire passage is arranged along the central axis of the partition and the end plates at both ends of the powder tank, and the wire passage is a strip-shaped opening that is open at the top and extends vertically.
[0032] In the above embodiment, by setting the wire passage, the wire core can pass through the powder coating tank 21 and the recycling tanks 20 at both ends, and can block the powder, preventing the wire core from taking away too much powder during the passage. By opening the top, the cover 5 can be closed so that the groove 6 of the cover 5 fits with the wire passage, thereby covering the powder while forming the groove 6 for the wire core to pass through.
[0033] For example, the cable passage can be configured as a V-shape, U-shape, W-shape, etc., and in this embodiment, a V-shape is preferred.
[0034] In some embodiments, the auger 23 is provided with at least one set of spiral blades in opposite directions. For example, one, two, or three sets of spiral blades in opposite directions can be provided, and their lengths are evenly arranged. Specifically, taking one set of spiral blades in opposite directions as an example, it includes a first spiral blade 24 in a forward / reverse direction and a second spiral blade 25 in a reverse / forward direction, and the first spiral blade 24 and the second spiral blade 25 have the same length.
[0035] In the above embodiment, when the auger 23 rotates, the first spiral blade 24 and the second spiral blade 25 both convey powder to the middle, so that the powder rises in the middle, so that the raised part of the powder is far away from the recycling troughs 20 at both ends, thereby avoiding the core from carrying away too much powder and avoiding frequent powder filling.
[0036] In some embodiments, the end plates at both ends of the powder trough are provided with height-adjustable horizontal conveying rollers and a set of spaced vertical conveying rollers. For example, the height and spacing can be adjusted by setting strip holes or positioning sliders, or other adjustment structures. Specifically, in one embodiment, the end plates at both ends of the powder trough are respectively equipped with a first mounting plate 2 and a second mounting plate 8. The first mounting plate 2 is equipped with a first lug 4 and two first vertical rollers 3. The first lug 4 is provided with vertical strip holes, and a first horizontal roller 19 is installed on the first lug 4. Roller 19 includes a central mounting shaft and a rotating roller on the shaft. The two ends of the mounting shaft of the first horizontal roller 19 pass through the strip-shaped holes of the first ear seat 4. The spacing of the first vertical rollers 3 matches the wire passage opening. The second mounting plate 8 is equipped with a second ear seat 9 and two second vertical rollers 11. The second ear seat 9 is provided with vertical strip-shaped holes. The second ear seat 9 is equipped with a second horizontal roller 7. The second horizontal roller 7 includes a central mounting shaft and a rotating roller on the shaft. The two ends of the mounting shaft of the second horizontal roller 7 pass through the strip-shaped holes of the second ear seat 9. The spacing of the second vertical rollers 11 matches the wire passage opening.
[0037] In the above embodiment, when the cover 5 is opened, the wire core first passes between the two first vertical rollers 3, then passes over the upper part of the first horizontal roller 19, and then passes through the wire passage of the first recycling trough 20, the powder coating trough 21 and the second recycling trough 20 in sequence, and then passes over the upper part of the second horizontal roller 7 and between the two second vertical rollers 11; when the cover 5 is closed, the wire core passes between the two first vertical rollers 3, then passes through the V-shaped groove 6 of the cover 5, and then passes over the upper part of the second horizontal roller 7 and between the two second vertical rollers 11. The passing height of the wire core can be adjusted by adjusting the installation height of the first horizontal roller 19 and the second horizontal roller 7.
[0038] In some embodiments, the bottom of the powder coating tank 21 and the recovery tanks 20 at both ends are provided with discharge ports, which can be used to recover the powder in the powder coating tank 21 and the recovery tank 20.
[0039] In some embodiments, the outlet of the powder coating tank 21 is provided with a sealing door 22, and the outlet of the recycling tank 20 is connected to a Y-shaped guide pipe 12. By setting the sealing door 22, the outlet of the powder coating tank 21 can be sealed. When cleaning is required, the sealing door 22 can be opened to clean the powder in the powder coating tank 21. By setting the Y-shaped guide pipe 12, the powder in the recycling tanks 20 at both ends can be recycled at the same time. The bottom opening of the Y-shaped guide pipe 12 can be equipped with a switch or directly inserted into a water tank for powder recycling to avoid dust.
[0040] A motor 18 is mounted on the frame 14. The motor 18 drives the auger 23 to rotate through a transmission assembly. The transmission assembly is located inside the protective cover 1. For example, the transmission assembly can be a belt and pulley assembly, a chain and sprocket assembly, a reducer, an output shaft, and a helical gear transmission assembly, etc. Specifically, in this embodiment, a first pulley is mounted on the output shaft of the motor 18, and a second pulley is mounted on the end of the main shaft of the auger 23. The first pulley and the second pulley are connected by a belt drive. The first pulley, the second pulley, and the belt are located inside the protective cover 1. The auger 23 is rotatably connected to the powder trough through the bearing seat 13.
[0041] An electrical control box 17 is installed on the Y-shaped guide tube 12. The electrical control box 17 is triangular to facilitate its fixed installation on the Y-shaped guide tube 12. The electrical control box 17 is equipped with a power switch, a PLC / microcontroller, a thermal relay / circuit breaker, a stop button, and a start button. The wiring method between the power switch, PLC / microcontroller, thermal relay / circuit breaker, stop button, start button, and motor 18 is conventional and will not be described in detail here. The motor 18 is started and stopped through the electrical control box 17.
[0042] The bottom of the frame 14 is also provided with height-adjustable feet 16. For example, the feet 16 can be directly installed on the bottom of the frame 14, or they can be installed through L-shaped connectors 15. The feet 16 include a base and a column. The top of the column is provided with a threaded connector. Two locking nuts are installed on the threaded connector. The locking nuts are used to fix the column to the L-shaped connectors 15. By adjusting the height of the two locking nuts on the threaded connector, the height of the frame 14 and the ground can be adjusted, so that the powdering machine can be used for production lines of different heights. By adjusting the height of the frame 14, it can be matched with the height of the cable conveyor after the cover 5 is closed, so that the powdering machine can be processed normally without removing the powdering machine.
[0043] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
