The application discloses a cooling device and method for forming stable
temperature gradient by large cylinder segment differential temperature rolling, and relates to the technical field of rolling
metallurgy process. The flow of cooling water can be automatically adjusted according to the temperature distribution in the thickness direction of the cylinder segment and the flow fluctuation in the pipeline, thereby reducing the axial
temperature difference of the cylinder segment and the risk of surface
cracking, and the cooling water can be recycled without
filtration. The cooling device comprises a temperature acquisition device, a
control unit, an upper cooling support device and a lower cooling support device; the upper cooling support device and the lower cooling support device are respectively supported on the inner and outer wall surfaces of the cylinder segment; the upper cooling support device comprises an upper cooling roller and a cooling
system symmetrically arranged on both sides of the upper cooling roller; the upper cooling roller comprises a shell, a
reflux cylinder and a center support plate; the lower cooling support device is the same in structure as the upper cooling device; the cooling
system comprises a water inlet pipeline, a water return pipeline, a water pump, a water tank and a plurality of spraying assemblies. The application also provides a cooling method based on the device.
