Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metal filter element production technology, specifically to an automated equipment for surface treatment of metal filter elements. Background Technology

[0002] Surface treatment of metal filter elements is a key process to improve their filtration performance, corrosion resistance and service life. For example, spraying hydrophobic coatings, spraying fluorocarbon coatings or silane coupling agents can reduce the surface tension of liquids, prevent oily contaminants from clogging the pores, reduce dust adhesion and extend the cleaning cycle.

[0003] Currently, the hydrophobic coating process for metal filter elements is done manually, which is not only labor-intensive and inefficient, but also cannot guarantee the consistency of the coating process. In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, we propose an automated equipment for surface treatment of metal filter elements. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide an automated surface treatment device for metal filter elements, which can effectively solve the problems in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] An automated surface treatment device for metal filter elements includes a base with four sets of vertical support rails. A set of corresponding transverse lifting rails is provided between the side walls of the front and rear sets of vertical support rails. A movable frame is provided between the two sets of transverse lifting rails. A set of mounting plates is provided at both the front and rear ends of the movable frame. Two sets of guide rods are provided between the two sets of mounting plates. A set of movable blocks is slidably provided outside the two sets of guide rods. A nozzle is provided at the lower end of the movable block.

[0007] The base is also provided with a fixing frame, and the fixing frame is provided with a fourth motor. The front end of the fixing frame is provided with a fixing mechanism for extending into the filter element and supporting the filter element. The fourth motor drives the fixing mechanism.

[0008] The horizontal lifting track can move up and down along the vertical support track, the moving frame can move left and right along the horizontal lifting track, and the moving block can move back and forth along the guide rod on the moving frame. Therefore, the nozzle can move with the moving block to adjust its position in the up, down, left, right, forward and backward directions. The metal filter element is fixed and supported by the fixing mechanism. Since the fixing mechanism extends into the inside of the metal filter element, it will not block the surface to be sprayed during surface spraying. At the same time, the metal filter element can rotate with the fixing mechanism to achieve full surface spraying, realize automated spraying operation, reduce manual operation, and make the spraying process more convenient and efficient.

[0009] Preferably, the front end of the fixing frame is provided with a connecting frame, the middle of the connecting frame is rotatably connected to a rotating rod, the rear end of the rotating rod is connected to the first motor, and the front end is rotatably connected to the rotating frame.

[0010] The fixing mechanism includes a rotating frame, a positioning tube fixed to the front end of the rotating frame, multiple sets of movable grooves provided on the outer wall of the positioning tube, and an installation cap provided at the front end of the positioning tube; a threaded tube is provided inside the positioning tube, and a threaded rod is threadedly connected to the rear end of the threaded tube; a third motor is installed inside the rotating frame, and the third motor drives the threaded rod; multiple sets of support rods are rotatably connected to the positioning tube, one end of the support rod is movably connected to the threaded tube through a connecting rod assembly, and the other end extends out of the movable groove, with a rubber head fixed at the end position.

The rotating connecting plate is fixedly connected to a threaded pipe, the lower end of the telescopic rod is rotatably connected to the rotating connecting plate, and the telescopic rod is slidably engaged with a support rod.

[0012] When fixing the metal filter element, simply put the filter element over the positioning tube, then start the third motor. The third motor can drive the threaded rod to rotate, and the threaded rod drives the threaded tube to slide laterally. The threaded tube, through the connecting rod assembly, drives the support rod to open outward, thereby fixing the metal filter element.

[0013] Preferably, the four sets of vertical support rails are fixed at the four corners of the upper end of the base, and each end of the horizontal lifting rail is provided with a first slider, which is slidably connected to two of the sets of vertical support rails through the first slider. A connecting frame is fixed between the two sets of horizontal lifting rails, and a top frame is provided at the upper end of the four sets of vertical support rails.

When the surface is sprayed, the fixed position will not obstruct the spraying process, resulting in a better spraying effect. Furthermore, the fourth motor and rotating rod can drive the rotating frame to rotate, allowing the fixed metal filter to rotate and switch between different surfaces for processing, making the spraying process more convenient and efficient.

[0019] 2. In this utility model, the vertical support rail, horizontal lifting rail, movable frame, and movable block allow the spray head to move flexibly, making the movement operation more convenient when the spray head is spraying the surface of the metal filter element.

[0027] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0028] like Figures 1-6 As shown, an automated surface treatment device for metal filter elements includes a base 1, a fixing mechanism 7 for fixing the metal filter element, and an automatic spraying mechanism for spraying the surface of the metal filter element.

[0029] The fixing mechanism 7 includes a fixing frame 22, on which a fourth motor 28 is mounted. The front end of the fixing frame 22 is provided with a fixing mechanism 7 for extending into and supporting the filter element. The fourth motor 28 drives and connects to the fixing mechanism 7. When the metal filter element is fixed to the fixing mechanism 7, since the fixing mechanism 7 extends into the metal filter element along one end of the filter element's interface, it does not obstruct the surface of the metal filter element. Simultaneously, the fourth motor 28 drives the fixing mechanism 7 to rotate, allowing the metal filter element to rotate continuously with the fixing mechanism 7. Therefore, during the spraying operation on the surface of the metal filter element, a comprehensive spraying treatment can be achieved on its outer surface.

[0030] The fixing mechanism 7 includes a rotating frame 25, a third motor 26, a positioning tube 27, a threaded tube 32, a support rod 30, a threaded rod 36, and a connecting rod assembly. The fourth motor 28 drives and connects to the rotating frame 25. The positioning tube 27 is fixed to the front end of the rotating frame 25. The outer wall of the positioning tube 27 is provided with four sets of movable grooves 29. An installation cap 33 is installed at the end of the positioning tube 27. The threaded tube 32 is located inside the positioning tube 27. The rear end of the threaded tube 32 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 36. The third motor 26 is installed inside the rotating frame 25 and drives and connects to the threaded rod 36. The support rod 30 is provided with multiple sets. The support rod 30 is rotatably connected to the positioning tube 27. One end of the support rod is movably connected to the threaded tube 32 through the connecting rod assembly, and the other end extends out of the movable groove 29.

[0031] The connecting rod assembly includes a rotating connecting plate 34 and a telescopic rod 35 that are hinged to each other. The rotating connecting plate 34 is fixedly connected to the threaded pipe 32, and the lower end of the telescopic rod 35 is rotatably connected to the rotating connecting plate 34. The telescopic rod 35 is slidably engaged with the support rod 30.

[0032] When the third motor 26 drives the threaded rod 36 to rotate, the threaded tube 32 cannot rotate due to the limiting effect of the linkage mechanism and the support rod 30. Therefore, the threaded tube 32 can only move back and forth inside the positioning tube 27. When the threaded tube 32 moves back and forth, the linkage mechanism can drive the support rod 30 to rotate relative to the positioning tube 27, either expanding outward or contracting inward. Therefore, when it is necessary to fix the metal filter element, simply put the metal filter element on the outside of the positioning tube 27 and start the third motor 26. The third motor 26 drives the support rod 30 to expand outward, and the end of the support rod 30 can make close contact with the inside of the metal filter element's inner skeleton, thereby achieving reliable fixation of the metal filter element. When it is necessary to remove the metal filter element, the third motor 26 reverses, driving the support rod 30 to contract inward, and the end of the support rod 30 separates from the metal filter element, allowing the metal filter element to be easily removed.

[0033] The fixing mechanism 7 with the above structure can be well adapted to cylindrical metal filter elements. It can not only adapt to metal filter elements of different diameters, but also achieve a stable and reliable clamping effect, and is very convenient to operate.

[0034] In addition, a rubber head 31 is fixed at the end of the support rod 30. When the metal filter element is fixed, the rubber head 31 contacts the inner wall of the inner skeleton of the metal filter element, which can not only increase the friction but also prevent the inner wall of the metal filter element from wearing.

[0035] The front end of the fixed frame 22 is provided with a connecting frame 23, and a rotating rod 24 is rotatably connected to the middle of the connecting frame 23. The rear end of the rotating rod 24 is connected to the fourth motor 28, and the front end is connected to the rotating frame 25. The connecting frame 23 provides positioning support for both ends of the rotating rod 24, making the structure more stable and the rotation of the rotating rod 24 smoother.

[0036] like Figures 1-6 As shown, the automatic spraying mechanism includes four sets of vertical support rails 2. A set of corresponding horizontal lifting rails 3 is provided between the side walls of the front and rear sets of vertical support rails 2. A movable frame 12 is provided between the two sets of horizontal lifting rails 3. A set of mounting plates 14 is provided at both the front and rear ends below the movable frame 12. A guide rod 16 is provided between the two sets of mounting plates 14. A set of moving blocks 17 is slidably provided outside the guide rod 16.

[0037] A paint tank 20 is also provided on one side of the upper end of the base 1. The paint tank 20 is filled with hydrophobic paint. A nozzle 19 is provided at the lower end of the moving block 17. The nozzle 19 and the paint tank 20 are connected by a pipe. Of course, the paint tank 20 must be connected to a water pump to extract the liquid paint inside and spray it out from the nozzle 19. An atomizing mechanism can be provided in the nozzle 19 to better contact the surface of the metal filter element during spraying. Of course, the water pump and atomizing mechanism are existing technologies and are not shown in the figure. The pipe between the paint tank 20 and the nozzle 19 is at least partially a delivery hose 21, which can better accommodate the movement of the nozzle 19.

[0038] The horizontal lifting track 3, the movable frame 12, and the movable block 17 are each connected to a power source that drives their movement. Therefore, the horizontal lifting track 3 can move up and down along the vertical support track 2, the movable frame 12 can move horizontally left and right along the horizontal lifting track 3, and the movable block 17 can move horizontally back and forth along the guide rod 16. Thus, the nozzle 19 on the movable block 17 can move in multiple directions relative to the base 1, including up, down, left, right, forward, and backward. There are many possible power source options.

[0039] The four sets of vertical support rails 2 are fixed at the four corners of the upper end of the base 1. Each end of the horizontal lifting rail 3 is equipped with a first slider 8, which is slidably connected to two of the sets of vertical support rails 2. A connecting frame 4 is fixed between the two sets of horizontal lifting rails 3. A top frame 5 is provided at the upper end of the four sets of vertical support rails 2, and a cylinder 6 is mounted on the top frame 5, connected to the connecting frame 4. The two sets of horizontal lifting rails 3 are connected as one unit via the connecting frame 4. Therefore, the cylinder 6 can drive the two sets of horizontal lifting rails 3 to move synchronously and more smoothly. Using the cylinder 6 as the driving method enables rapid lifting of the horizontal lifting rails 3.

[0040] The two ends of the movable frame 12 are respectively provided with second sliders 13, and are slidably connected to two sets of transverse lifting rails 3 through the second sliders 13; the two ends of the two sets of transverse lifting rails 3 are connected by fixed plates 9, and a set of first lead screws 10 are rotatably connected between the two sets of fixed plates 9. The first lead screws 10 pass through the movable frame 12 and are threadedly engaged with it. A first motor 11 is installed on the outer wall of one set of fixed plates 9, and the first motor 11 drives the first lead screws 10.

[0041] A second lead screw 15 is also provided between the two sets of mounting plates 14. The second lead screw 15 passes through the moving block 17 and is threadedly engaged with it. A second motor 18 is provided on the side wall of one set of mounting plates 14. The second motor 18 drives the second lead screw 15.

[0042] Both the movable frame 12 and the movable block 17 are driven by a motor screw, making their movements more stable and accurate, and ensuring a comprehensive coating operation on the filter element.

[0043] It should be noted that this utility model is an automated surface treatment device for metal filter elements. In use, the metal filter element is first fixed and placed on the outside of the positioning tube 27. The third motor 26 inside the rotating frame 25 is started, which drives the threaded rod 36 inside the positioning tube 27 to rotate. When the threaded rod 36 rotates, the threaded tube 32 will move on the outer wall of the threaded rod 36, which will drive multiple sets of connecting rod assemblies to move. The connecting rod assemblies will drive the support rod 30 to rotate in the middle of the movable groove 29, so that the support rod 30 unfolds outward. The rubber head 31 at the end of the support rod 30 will contact the inner wall of the inner skeleton of the metal filter element and apply a certain spreading force to fix the metal filter element.

[0044] After the metal filter element is fixed, the position of the nozzle 19 is adjusted. First, the cylinder 6 is activated, driving the connecting frame 4 to move the horizontal lifting track 3 downward, lowering the nozzle 19 to the specified height. Then, the first motor 11 starts and drives the first lead screw 10 to rotate, allowing the moving frame 12 to move between the horizontal lifting tracks 3 to adjust the left and right position of the nozzle 19. At the same time, the second motor 18 starts and drives the second lead screw 15 to rotate, causing the moving block 17 to move back and forth, adjusting the front and back position of the nozzle 19 so that the nozzle 19 is accurately aligned with the metal filter element.

[0045] Finally, the spraying process begins. The paint inside the paint tank 20 is delivered into the nozzle 19 through the delivery hose 21 and sprayed out by the nozzle 19 to spray the surface of the metal filter element. During the spraying process, the second motor 18 will rotate back and forth, driving the nozzle 19 to move back and forth. At the same time, the fourth motor 28 will also start, driving the rotating frame 25 to rotate through the rotating rod 24, which will drive the metal filter element to rotate continuously, so that the surface of the metal filter element can be sprayed more comprehensively, making the spraying process more efficient.

[0046] After the metal filter element is coated, the third motor 26 resets and rotates, driving the support rod 30 to retract and release the metal filter element from its fixation. At the same time, the nozzle 19 can reset and move away from the metal filter element along with the moving block 17, making it convenient to disassemble and assemble the metal filter element.

[0047] In addition, multiple sets of fixing components can be arranged in parallel, and multiple metal filter elements can be sprayed alternately to further improve work efficiency.

[0048] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims.
