Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of metal powder manufacturing equipment, specifically to an automatic disassembly and assembly mechanism for the lower cone of an atomizing cylinder. Background Technology

[0002] In the process of preparing metal powders by gas atomization, the atomizing cylinder is one of the core pieces of equipment. It is typically a large, sealed container containing atomizing nozzles, a cooling medium guiding structure, and a powder collection area. Throughout the atomization process, the atomizing cylinder not only provides a stable reaction space but also directly influences the particle size distribution, sphericity, microstructure, and chemical composition of the powder through internal airflow field design, temperature control, and deposition path optimization. The lower part of the atomizing cylinder is usually designed as a conical collection area (hereinafter referred to as "lower cone"). As the primary collection and guiding channel for the powder, the lower cone has the following key functions: guiding powder particles to efficiently converge into the collection system (such as a powder collection tank); maintaining internal airflow stability and preventing powder from stagnating in localized eddies; and achieving gradual changes in airflow velocity through the conical structure design, promoting powder classification and cooling.

[0003] However, during continuous production, the lower cone section is highly susceptible to powder deposition, droplet adhesion, and oxide layer accumulation. These deposits thicken continuously, forming an uneven deposition layer that alters the geometry of the lower cone's internal surface, disrupts the preset airflow field, and causes the powder particle size distribution to deviate from the design range. Deposits may also detach at any time; large detached deposits can mix into the finished powder, contaminating batches and reducing product purity. Furthermore, the lower cone section is typically exposed to high temperature and high mechanical stress environments, and long-term use may lead to wear, deformation, or cracking of the inner protective coating, further exacerbating the powder adhesion problem. Therefore, regular maintenance of the atomizing cylinder (especially its lower cone section) is crucial. Traditional atomizing cylinder repair relies entirely on manual disassembly and assembly, which is inefficient. Therefore, this application aims to provide an automatic disassembly and assembly mechanism for the lower cone of the atomizing cylinder, which can automatically disassemble and assemble the lower cone when maintenance is required, saving manpower and improving maintenance efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address some shortcomings of the existing technology by providing an automatic disassembly and assembly mechanism for the lower cone of the atomizing cylinder, which can be used to automatically disassemble and assemble the lower cone of the atomizing cylinder, saving labor and disassembly time, and improving maintenance efficiency.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is: an automatic disassembly and assembly mechanism for the lower cone of an atomizing cylinder, comprising an atomizing cylinder and a mounting base, wherein the main body of the atomizing cylinder is relatively fixed to the mounting base; the lower cone of the atomizing cylinder is detachably connected to the main body of the atomizing cylinder through a locking mechanism; a track is provided on the mounting base; a conveying mechanism is provided on the track, and the lower cone is mounted on the conveying mechanism; the conveying mechanism is used to drive the lower cone to move along the track.

[0006] Furthermore, the conveying mechanism includes a movable frame, on which a driver, a drive wheel, a driven wheel, and a lifting device are provided; the driver is connected to the drive wheel and is used to drive the drive wheel to rotate, thereby driving the movable frame to move along the track.

[0007] Furthermore, the conveying mechanism also includes a lifting device, which supports the lower cone and controls its vertical height.

[0008] Furthermore, the lifting device uses lifting cylinders, and there are multiple lifting cylinders. All lifting cylinders achieve synchronous lifting and lowering movements through a synchronization valve to ensure the smooth lifting and lowering movement of the lower cone.

[0009] Furthermore, the mounting base is equipped with a maintenance station for repairing and maintaining the lower cone; the maintenance station and the main body of the atomizing cylinder are respectively located on both sides of the mounting base.

[0010] Furthermore, both the lower cone and the main body are provided with outwardly protruding flanges at the ends where they are connected. The locking mechanism includes a locking cylinder and a locking ring. Under the control of the locking mechanism, the locking ring clamps the two flanges together.

[0011] Furthermore, a groove is provided on the inner surface of the locking ring, so that both flanges are confined within the groove when locked, thus connecting the lower cone and the main body.

[0012] Furthermore, a sensor switch is installed on the locking cylinder. When the locking cylinder extends or retracts to its final position, the sensor switch will send a relevant signal to the control system.

[0013] Furthermore, a sensor switch is installed on the lifting cylinder. When the lifting cylinder extends or retracts to its final position, the sensor switch will send a relevant signal to the control system.

[0014] Furthermore, a limit switch is installed on the track. The limit switch is used to sense the position of the lower cone. When the lower cone moves to the limit switch, the limit switch will send a signal to the control system.

[0017] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments. Methods or functional components not specifically described in the embodiments are all prior art. Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. Example

[0018] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this embodiment is an automatic disassembly and assembly mechanism for the lower cone 3 of an atomizing cylinder, including an atomizing cylinder and a mounting base 1. The mounting base 1 consists of legs and a crossbeam. The main body 2 of the atomizing cylinder is relatively fixed to the mounting base 1, i.e., their positions are relatively static. The lower cone 3 of the atomizing cylinder is detachably connected to the main body 2 of the atomizing cylinder through a locking mechanism. A track 11 is formed on the crossbeam of the mounting base 1. A conveying mechanism is provided on the track 11, and the lower cone 3 is mounted on the conveying mechanism. The conveying mechanism can be used to drive the lower cone 3 to move along the track 11. A maintenance station is provided on the mounting base 1, which is used for maintenance and upkeep of the lower cone 3. The maintenance station and the main body 2 of the atomizing cylinder are respectively located at both ends of the mounting frame (track 11).

[0019] In this embodiment, the conveying mechanism includes a movable frame 51, on which a driver 54, a drive wheel 52, a driven wheel 53, and a lifting device are mounted. The driver 54 is connected to the drive wheel 52 and is used to drive the drive wheel 52 to rotate, thereby moving the movable frame 51 along the track 11. In this embodiment, the driver 54 is an adjustable speed motor, which is connected to the drive wheel 52 via a chain drive.

[0020] In this embodiment, the moving frame 51 of the conveying mechanism is equipped with a lifting device, which supports the lower cone 3 and controls its vertical height. The lifting device uses lifting cylinders 6, and there are multiple lifting cylinders 6. All lifting cylinders 6 achieve synchronous lifting and lowering movements through a synchronization valve to ensure the smooth lifting and lowering movement of the lower cone 3.

[0021] In this embodiment, a lower flange 31 is provided at the upper end of the lower cone 3, and an upper flange 21 is provided at the lower end of the main body 2. The lower cone 3 and the main body 2 are connected by the two flanges. The locking mechanism includes a locking cylinder 41 and a locking ring 42. Under the control of the locking mechanism, the locking ring 42 clamps the two flanges together. The locking ring 42 is provided with a groove, and the two flanges are restricted in the groove, thereby locking the lower cone 3 and the main body 2.

[0022] In this embodiment, a sensor switch is installed on the locking cylinder 41. When the locking cylinder 41 extends or retracts to its final position, the sensor switch sends a relevant signal to the control system. A sensor switch is installed on the lifting cylinder 6. When the lifting cylinder 6 extends or retracts to its final position, the sensor switch sends a relevant signal to the control system. A limit switch 7 is installed on the track 11. The limit switch 7 is used to sense the position of the lower cone 3. When the lower cone 3 moves to the limit switch 7, the limit switch 7 sends a signal to the control system. The control principle and application method of the sensor switch or the limit switch 7 are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.

[0023] The working process of the automatic disassembly and assembly mechanism of the lower cone 3 of the atomizing cylinder in this embodiment is as follows: When the lower cone 3 needs to be maintained, the control system sends a signal to drive the locking cylinder 41 to work, so that the locking cylinder 41 drives the locking ring 42 to loosen. After it is loosened, the lifting cylinder 6 is driven to descend, which drives the lower cone 3 to separate from the main body 2. After it is lowered, the adjustable speed motor in the transmission mechanism works, which drives the moving frame 51 and the lower cone 3 to move to the other end of the track 11 until it is sensed by the limit switch 7, indicating that the lower cone 3 has moved to the maintenance position and can be maintained. After the maintenance is completed, the reverse process of the above actions is performed to complete the reset.

[0024] The above are only some embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. For those skilled in the art, the present utility model can have various combinations and modifications of the aforementioned technical features. Any improvements, modifications, equivalent substitutions, or applications of the structure or method of the present utility model to other fields to achieve the same effect without departing from the spirit and scope of the present utility model shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
