The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, and cannot be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0033] Example 1: See Figure 1-3 The cooling system of the rock wool centrifuge of this embodiment includes a main shaft 1 and a roller head 2. The main shaft 1 is hollow inside, and the roller head 2 is arranged at one end of the main shaft 1 and driven to rotate by the main shaft 1. A cooling pipe 3 is arranged inside the main shaft 1, and a return water chamber 4 is formed between the inner wall of the main shaft 3 and the outer wall of the cooling pipe; one end of the cooling pipe 3 is connected to an external cooling water source, and the other end is connected to the inner cavity of the roller head 2, and one end of the return water chamber 4 is connected to the inner cavity of the roller head 2; at least one drainage hole 1-1 is arranged at one end of the main shaft 1 away from the roller head 2. When the main shaft 1 rotates, cooling water enters the inner cavity of the roller head 2 from the cooling pipe 3, and then flows out from the drainage hole 1-1 after passing through the return water chamber 4.

[0034] Specifically, a spindle frame 8 is provided outside the spindle 1, and both ends of the spindle 1 are rotatably provided on the spindle frame 8 through two bearings 9. A spacer is provided between the two bearings 9, and the bearings 9 are limited by the combined action of the spindle frame 8 and the spacer.

[0035] See Figure 4 The cooling tube 3 is located at the center of the main shaft 1. A rib 4-1 is arranged on the outside of the cooling tube 3. The two sides of the rib 4-1 are respectively connected to the cooling tube 3 and the main shaft 1. The cooling tube 3 is supported by the rib 4-1 to prevent the cooling tube 3 from being squeezed, deformed or even broken during high-speed rotation.

[0036] The outer wall of the cooling pipe 3 is the inner wall of the water return chamber 4, the inner wall of the main shaft 1 is the outer wall of the water return chamber 4, the drainage hole 1-1 is provided on the main shaft 1, and the drainage hole 1-1 is connected with the water return chamber 4. In this embodiment, a plurality of drainage holes 1-1 are provided, all of which are arranged along the radial direction of the main shaft 1. When the main shaft 1 rotates at a high speed, the cooling water in the water return chamber 4 will be discharged from the drainage channel 1-1 by centrifugal force.

[0037] The main shaft 1 is provided with a water collecting tank 5 at one end of the drainage channel 1-1. The water collecting tank 5 surrounds one end of the main shaft 1, and the cooling water discharged from the drainage channel 1-1 will be collected by the water collecting tank 5, which is conducive to the recycling of cooling water and reduces production costs.

[0038] See Figure 2 The roller head 2 includes a roller head seat 2-1 and a roller head body 2-2. The roller head seat 2-1 and the roller head body 2-2 form a cooling cavity 2-3. The roller head seat 2-1 is sleeved on one end of the main shaft 1. The cooling pipe 3 extends out of the end of the main shaft 1 and communicates with the cooling cavity 2-3. The return water cavity 4 is communicated with the cooling cavity 2-3. There is a gap between the roller head seat 2-1 and the outer wall of the main shaft 1, and a tightening device 6 is arranged in the gap. The connection between the roller head 2 and the main shaft 1 is realized by the tightening device 6 to realize torque transmission. In this embodiment, the tightening device 6 can be an expansion sleeve.

[0039] The end of the spindle 1 extending into the roller head 2 is provided with an end cover 7, which is sleeved on the cooling pipe 3 and fixedly connected to the spindle 1. The end cover 7 can prevent the water flow in the cooling cavity 2-3 from entering the gap between the spindle 1 and the roller head seat 2-1, and prevent the expansion device 6 from being soaked in water and rusting and corroding. The end cover 7 is provided with a return water channel 7-1, and the return water cavity 4 is connected to the cooling cavity 2-3 through the return water channel 7-1.

[0040] See Figure 3The end of the water return chamber 4 away from the roller head 2 is provided with a sealing device 10, which includes a sealing sleeve 10-1 and a sealing seat 10-2. The sealing sleeve 10-1 is sleeved on the outside of the sealing seat 10-2, and a plurality of sealing rings 10-3 are provided between the sealing sleeve 10-1 and the sealing seat 10-2 to prevent the cooling water in the water return chamber 4 from flowing out from the other end. The outer wall of the sealing seat 10-2 is provided with inclined surfaces at both ends to facilitate the insertion of the sealing seat 10-2 into the sealing sleeve 10-1.

[0041] The working mode of the present invention is as follows: cooling water enters from one end of the cooling pipe 3 and flows into the cooling cavity 2-3 of the roller head 2 from the other end to cool the roller head 2. The cooling water in the roller head 2 enters the return water cavity 4 through the return water channel 7-1 on the end cover 7, and the cooling water cools the main shaft 1. When the main shaft 1 rotates at high speed, the cooling water in the return water cavity 4 is discharged from the drain hole 1-1 by centrifugal force, thereby forming a negative pressure in the return water cavity 4, and the water in the cooling pipe 3 will continuously enter the roller head 2 and then enter the return water cavity 4. The cooling water thrown out by centrifugal force is collected by the water collecting tank 5 and recycled.

[0042] The present invention can fully cool the roller head 2 without the need for a water supply pump, thereby reducing the cooling time of the fiber. The fiber can be pulled longer, ultimately improving the fiberization rate and increasing the tensile and compressive properties of the rock wool board / strip. At the same time, the furnace temperature can be reduced by 75°-150°. Since the furnace temperature is reduced, the energy consumption required for production can be reduced, and the production is safer and more controllable.

[0043] Embodiment 2: A rock wool centrifuge comprises four centrifugal rollers, at least one of which adopts the cooling system in Embodiment 1. If all four centrifugal rollers adopt the aforementioned cooling system, the fiber can be drawn the longest, have the best mechanical properties, and have the highest fiberization rate.

[0044] The specific embodiments described above further illustrate the objectives, technical solutions and beneficial effects of the present invention in detail. It should be understood that the above description is only a specific embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
