Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of wire technology, and in particular relates to a device for cleaning impurities on the surface of wires. Background Technology

[0002] In the welding wire production process, the wire needs to be drawn and reduced in diameter through multiple passes according to product specifications. The high-intensity friction between the wire and the die during drawing easily causes surface damage and die wear. Therefore, the industry commonly uses calcium-based, sodium-based, or composite-based lubricating powders to form a lubricating film between the two, ensuring wire linearity and reducing damage. However, a large amount of lubricating powder remains on the wire surface after drawing. Under the high temperature and pressure of drawing, the lubricating powder mixes with oxide scale and metal debris to form a tightly adhered "powder layer." Incomplete cleaning will seriously affect subsequent processes, especially in the plating process, where the powder layer damages the plating adhesion, leading to blistering and peeling. Currently used water washing processes with drying equipment sometimes cannot meet high cleanliness requirements, necessitating the addition of cleaning devices. Utility Model Content

[0020] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other.

[0021] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

Thus, features defined with "first," "second," etc., may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0023] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0024] The rotary brush cleaning structure is responsible for the active and efficient preliminary cleaning of wires, and mainly consists of a power unit, a feeding unit, and a rotary brush cleaning unit.

[0025] The feeding assembly is fixed to the feeding end of the housing 21. It includes a feeding pipe 1, which is fixedly installed on the feeding port on the side wall of the housing 21 via a feeding flange 2, providing guidance and support for the wire 26. A sleeve 3 is provided on the outer side of the feeding pipe 1, which is rotatably fitted onto the feeding pipe 1 via a bearing or other mechanism.

[0026] The power unit provides power for the cleaning operation. It includes a motor 4 fixed to the outside of the housing 21. A first sprocket 5 is mounted on the output shaft of the motor 4, and a second sprocket 6 is fixedly mounted on the sleeve 3. The first sprocket 5 and the second sprocket 6 are connected by a chain 7, thereby transmitting the rotational motion of the motor 4 to the sleeve 3.

[0027] The rotary brush cleaning assembly is the core component that performs the cleaning function. A mounting block 8 is fixed to the sleeve 3 by welding or bolting, and the mounting block 8 has a first mounting hole 9. One end of a threaded rod 10 is fixedly installed in the first mounting hole 9. The threaded rod 10 is arranged horizontally, and its central axis is aligned with the central axis of the sleeve 3 and the feed pipe 1 to ensure that the wire 26 can pass through smoothly. A threaded brush 11 (such as a copper wire brush or a nylon brush) is fixed on the inner wall of the threaded rod 10. When the power motor 4 is started, it drives the sleeve 3, the mounting block 8, and the entire threaded rod 10 and threaded brush 11 to rotate together through the sprocket and chain drive, brushing away impurities on the surface of the wire 26 passing through them at high speed.

[0028] The steel wool cleaning structure, located behind the rotary brush cleaning structure, is used for deep wiping and cleaning of wires. This structure consists of a sealed, pool-like space. It is enclosed on both sides by a first side plate 12 and a second side plate 13, and internally divided into several cleaning chambers by multiple partitions 14. These plates together form the main frame of the steel wool cleaning structure and are fixed within the housing 21.

[0029] Each partition 14 and the second side plate 13 has a first through hole 15. All first through holes 15 and wire outlet holes 16 on the housing 21 are coaxially arranged to form a channel for the wire 26 to pass through. Each cleaning chamber is equipped with a steel wool cleaning assembly. It includes a first mounting plate 17 and a second mounting plate 18 that are symmetrically and obliquely installed to form a "V"-shaped or trapezoidal groove. A bottom mesh 19 is laid at the bottom of the groove. A large number of steel wool balls 20 fill the space enclosed by the first mounting plate 17, the second mounting plate 18 and the bottom mesh 19. When the wire 26 passes through the steel wool balls 20, it will rub and squeeze against the steel wool balls, thereby being further wiped clean.

[0030] The housing 21 serves as the supporting and sealed outer shell of the entire device. Inside the housing 21 are two important partition plates. A hinged top cover is mounted on the housing 21. The first partition plate 22 is located near the sleeve 3 and has a second through-hole for the sleeve 3 to pass through. This plate primarily isolates the rotating brush cleaning area, preventing the spread of dust. The second partition plate 23 is located between the rotating brush cleaning structure and the steel wool cleaning structure, and has a third through-hole for the wire 26 to pass through. This plate clearly separates the two functional areas. Symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bottom of the housing 21 are a first inclined plate 24 and a second inclined plate 25. Their function is to guide impurities (such as lubricating powder, metal shavings, etc.) that are cleaned off the wire to the central area at the bottom of the housing for centralized cleaning or discharge.

[0031] After being drawn, the wire 26 passes sequentially through the feed pipe 1, the rotating threaded brush 11, and multiple cleaning chambers filled with steel wool 20, finally exiting from the wire outlet 16. During this process, the rotating threaded brush 11 powerfully sweeps the wire surface, removing most of the adhering substances; subsequently, as the wire passes through the steel wool pile, the tightly wrapped steel wool 20 performs a thorough, all-around fine wiping, removing any remaining microparticles. The entire cleaning process is continuous and efficient, significantly improving the surface cleanliness of the wire.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this utility model provides a device for cleaning impurities on the surface of wire. Its core components include a housing 21, and a rotating brush cleaning structure and a steel wool cleaning structure sequentially installed inside the housing 21. This device is installed after the wire drawing process. During operation, the wire 26 is fed in from the inlet end. First, it undergoes preliminary, active mechanical cleaning by the rotating brush cleaning structure to remove most of the adhering substances (such as lubricating powder). Then, the wire 26 enters the steel wool cleaning structure for fine, all-around wiping cleaning. Finally, the clean wire 26 is led out from the outlet end of the housing 21 and wound and collected by a subsequent take-up machine (not shown in the figure, and the take-up machine is the power source for the wire and uses existing technology).

[0033] 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.
