[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 This embodiment exemplarily demonstrates a silicon-manganese alloy granulation rapid cooling tower, including a storage tank 1. A partition 3 is fixedly connected to the middle of the inner wall of the storage tank 1. A compressor 4 is fixedly connected to the top left side of the partition 3. The compressor 4 is installed on the top left side of the partition 3. The main function of the compressor 4 is to compress the refrigerant in the cooling system. A connecting pipe 26 is fixedly connected to the top of the compressor 4. A condenser 5 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting pipe 26. The condenser 5 is one of the key components of heat exchange. A water pump 6 is fixedly connected to the top right side of the partition 3. When the water pump 6 is started, it pumps the coolant out of the water pump 6 through mechanical power. A water outlet pipe 7 is fixedly connected to the front end of the water pump 6. The coolant flows to the part that needs to be cooled through the water outlet pipe 7. A water suction pipe 8 is fixedly connected to the top. The function of the water suction pipe 8 is to draw the cooled liquid in the cooling tank 9 back into the water pump 6 to form a continuous coolant circulation loop. One end of the water suction pipe 8 is fixedly connected to the cooling tank 9. A water injection pipe 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom right side of the outer wall of the storage tank 1. The main function of the water injection pipe 10 is to replenish the coolant in the cooling tank 9. The right end of the water injection pipe 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom left side of the outer wall of the cooling tank 9. A rotary valve 11 is rotatably connected to the front side of the outer wall of the water injection pipe 10. The rotary valve 11 controls the opening and closing of the water injection pipe 10. A partition plate 2 12 is fixedly connected to the middle of the inner wall of the cooling tank 9. A de-fogging mechanism 2 is set at the top rear side of the cooling tank 9. The de-fogging mechanism 2 is used to generate water vapor when the silicon manganese alloy liquid comes into contact with water.
[0024] Specifically, storage tank 1 is the basic container of the entire system, providing installation space and storage for other components. Partition 3 divides storage tank 1 into upper and lower layers, providing independent space for different functional components and ensuring the orderly operation of the system. Compressor 4 is installed on the top left side of partition 3, compressing the low-temperature, low-pressure gaseous refrigerant into a high-temperature, high-pressure gaseous state, which is then transported to condenser 5 via connecting pipe 26. Condenser 5 is connected to compressor 4 via connecting pipe 26, where the high-temperature, high-pressure gaseous refrigerant exchanges heat with the outside environment, becoming a high-temperature, high-pressure liquid and releasing heat. To prepare for the refrigeration cycle, water pump 6, located on the top right side of partition 3, is the power source for coolant circulation. It draws coolant from cooling tank 9 through suction pipe 8 and then delivers it to the area requiring cooling through outlet pipe 7. Suction pipe 8 connects water pump 6 and cooling tank 9, ensuring coolant flows smoothly from cooling tank 9 to water pump 6. Cooling tank 9 is the storage and heat exchange area for coolant, divided into upper and lower layers by internal partition 12 to optimize coolant flow and cooling effect. Inlet pipe 10 connects storage tank 1 and cooling tank 9, and rotary valve 11 controls its on / off state. When rotary valve 11 is turned, cooling water from the lower layer of storage tank 1 flows into the lower layer of cooling tank 9 through inlet pipe 10, achieving rapid cooling of the silicon-manganese alloy.
[0025] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 The de-fogging mechanism 2 includes a fixed box 201. The front side of the fixed box 201 is fixedly connected to the top rear side of the cooling box 9. Fixed brackets 202 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the bottom of the fixed box 201. The front side of the fixed box 201 is firmly fixed to the top rear side of the cooling box 9. Multiple air intakes 203 are provided at the bottom front side of the fixed box 201. During the cooling process of silicon-manganese alloy granulation, a large amount of mist is generated inside the cooling box 9 due to heat exchange and other reasons. The multiple air intakes 203 are connected to the rear side of the outer wall of the cooling box 9. The rotation of motor 204 drives the rotating fan 205 to rotate rapidly. During the rotation, the rotating fan 205 will quickly push the air in the fixed box 201 to flow towards the exhaust pipe 206. The motor 204 is fixedly connected to the top of the rear side of the inner wall of the fixed box 201. The output end of the motor 204 is fixedly connected to the rotating fan 205. The top of the fixed box 201 is fixedly connected to the exhaust pipe 206. The design of the diameter, length and outlet direction of the exhaust pipe 206 will affect the smoothness of the mist discharge and the final emission effect.
[0026] Specifically, the fixed brackets 202 on the left and right sides of the bottom of the fixed box 201 support the fixed box 201, ensuring that it is stable and does not shake during operation, providing a stable foundation for the normal operation of internal components. Multiple air intakes 203 opened on the bottom front side of the fixed box 201 are connected to the rear side of the outer wall of the cooling box 9. When a negative pressure is generated inside, the pressure difference is used to draw the mist generated in the cooling box 9 due to the granulation cooling process of silicon-manganese alloy into the fixed box 201. The multiple air intakes 203 greatly improve the mist intake efficiency. The motor 204 on the top rear side of the inner wall of the fixed box 201 serves as a power source, driving the rotating fan 205 to operate. After the motor 204 starts, the rotating fan 205 rotates at high speed, quickly pushing the air in the fixed box 201 towards the exhaust pipe 206, thereby creating a negative pressure environment near the air intakes 203. The exhaust pipe 206 on the top of the fixed box 201 is responsible for expelling the mist and air drawn into the fixed box 201 to the outside, ensuring that the discharged mist will not have an adverse effect on the surrounding environment and equipment.
[0027] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 Support columns 13 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom of the outer wall of the cooling box 9. As the main support structure of the cooling box 9, the support columns 13 play a crucial role. Foot pads 14 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the multiple support columns 13. The foot pads 14 play a buffering role and reduce the impact force transmitted to the cooling box 9 due to uneven ground or external vibration. A rotating door 15 is provided on the top right side of the cooling box 9. Hinges 16 are threadedly connected to the top left side of the rotating door 15. The structure of the hinges 16 allows the rotating door 15 to open and close with the hinges as the axis. A mounting groove 17 is provided on the top right side of the rotating door 15. A handle 18 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting groove 17. When it is necessary to open or close the rotating door 15, the operator applies external force by holding the handle 18.
[0028] Specifically, the support columns 13 are evenly distributed to distribute the weight of the cooling box 9 to the ground, preventing tilting or swaying due to an unstable center of gravity, and ensuring its stable placement during operation. The foot pads 14 connected to the bottom of each support column 13 are mostly made of elastic anti-slip materials such as rubber to prevent the cooling box 9 from sliding and further enhance the stability of the placement. The hinge 16 connected to the top left of the rotating door 15 by threads acts like a flexible joint, allowing the rotating door 15 to rotate around the axis. The operator can easily open or close the rotating door 15 by holding the handle 18 and applying force, using the hinge 16 as a fulcrum.
[0029] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4The top of the storage tank 1 is provided with a sealing cover 19, and a sealing ring 20 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sealing cover 19. A sealing groove 21 is opened on the top of the storage tank 1. The sealing ring 20 is usually made of rubber with good elasticity and sealing performance. The outer wall of the sealing ring 20 is engaged with the sealing groove 21. The lifting ring 23 provides a connection point for the lifting equipment. Mounting holes 22 are opened on the left and right sides of the top of the sealing cover 19. The inner walls of the two mounting holes 22 are threaded with lifting rings 23. The display screen 24 and the display meter 25 play the role of information feedback and monitoring in the entire cooling system. The display screen 24 is fixedly connected to the front side of the outer wall of the storage tank 1, and multiple display meters 25 are fixedly connected to the top front side of the storage tank 1.
[0030] Specifically, during installation, the sealing ring 20 is embedded in the sealing groove 21 and fills the tiny gap between the sealing cover 19 and the top of the storage tank 1 by its own elastic deformation. The hook can be firmly connected to the sealing cover 19 through the threaded lifting ring 23, so as to complete the movement operation conveniently and safely. The display screen 24 can intuitively present the key parameters of the coolant or refrigerant temperature, pressure and flow rate in the form of numbers and charts.
[0031] Working principle: The storage tank 1 serves as the storage container for the cooling medium, playing a fundamental role in ensuring continuous cooling operation. The compressor 4 starts and compresses the refrigerant gas, increasing its pressure, raising its temperature, and reducing its volume. Through the connecting pipe 26, a channel constructed based on the principle of communicating vessels, the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas is transported to the condenser 5. In the condenser 5, through the principle of heat exchange, the refrigerant gas dissipates heat to the external environment and gradually liquefies. At the same time, the water pump 6 utilizes the pressure difference principle of fluid mechanics, forming a low-pressure zone in the pump casing by means of the high-speed rotation of the impeller. The water pump 6 draws in the cooling medium from the cooling tank 9 through the suction pipe 8. After being pressurized, the cooling medium is sent to the contact point with the silicon-manganese alloy through the water outlet pipe 7, carrying away the heat of the silicon-manganese alloy. Subsequently, the cooling medium flows back to the cooling tank 9. When the cooling medium in the cooling tank 9 decreases due to evaporation, the rotary valve 11, which operates based on the valve throttling principle, can be opened. Using the liquid level difference between the storage tank 1 and the cooling tank 9, the cooling medium is replenished to the cooling tank 9 through the water injection pipe 10.
[0032] Furthermore, the fixed box 201 is fixedly connected to the top rear side of the cooling box 9 via the front side of the fixed box 201. The fixed brackets 202 on the left and right sides of its bottom provide stability. Multiple air intakes 203 on the bottom front side of the fixed box 201 are connected to the rear side of the outer wall of the cooling box 9. When the motor 204 on the top rear side of the inner wall of the fixed box 201 is started, its output end drives the rotating fan 205 to rotate, generating suction, which draws the mist in the cooling box 9 into the fixed box 201 through the air intakes 203. Then, under the action of the rotating fan 205, the mist is transported to the exhaust pipe 206 on the top of the fixed box 201, and finally discharged from the device through the exhaust pipe 206, thus realizing the function of discharging the mist in the cooling box 9.
[0033] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
