Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of air cooling equipment, and in particular relates to an air cooling mechanism, an air guide and a heating device. Background Art

[0002] When shrinking heat shrink tubing, the part to be shrunk, along with the tubing, is typically placed on a synchronous belt. This belt then transports the part into a heat shrink machine, where the tubing shrinks under the heat of the machine, completing the shrinking process. The part to be shrunk can be cables, for example. When the shrunk cable is moved from the synchronous belt to the collection bin, the temperature of the tubing remains high, and the glue flowing out of the tubing has not yet solidified. This can lead to the accumulation of cables, causing adhesion and affecting the quality and appearance of the finished product. However, improper cooling of the tubing within the conveyor channel can lower the temperature within the heat shrink machine, resulting in incomplete shrinkage and increased energy consumption.

[0040] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of the technical features being referred to. Thus, a feature identified as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present invention, "plurality" means two or more, unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0041] In the present invention, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," "connect," "fixed," etc. should be understood broadly. For example, they may refer to fixed connection, detachable connection, or integration; mechanical connection or electrical connection; direct connection or indirect connection through an intermediate medium; internal communication between two components or interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on specific circumstances.

[0042] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0043] The present invention provides an air cooling mechanism 100 for cooling a component to be cooled, wherein the component to be cooled may be a cable covered with a heat shrink tube that has been heat shrunk.

[0044] See also Figure 1 The air cooling mechanism 100 includes an air guide 10 and an air blowing member 20. The air guide 10 and the air blowing member 20 are spaced apart, forming an air cooling area 901 between the air guide 10 and the air blowing member 20. The air cooling area 901 is provided with a cooling member inlet 9011 and a cooling member outlet 9012 along a first predetermined direction for the passage of the member to be cooled. The cooling member inlet 9011 is located near a heating area 902. In other words, after the member to be cooled is discharged from the heating area 902, it can enter the air cooling area 901 through the cooling member inlet 9011 and then be discharged through the cooling member outlet 9012.

[0045] Among them, see Figure 1 and Figure 3 The air guide 10 includes a plurality of air shields 11 and a plurality of flow guide plates 12. The plurality of air shields 11 are arranged at intervals along a second predetermined direction, with air outlet gaps 101 formed between adjacent air shields 11. A flow guide plate 12 is connected to a wind shield 11 and extends into the air cooling area 901. In other words, the plurality of flow guide plates 12 are arranged at intervals along the second predetermined direction, and the flow guide plates 12 extend toward the air cooling area 901. The second predetermined direction can be any direction. The length directions of the air outlet gaps 101 and the air shields 11 are both perpendicular to the second predetermined direction, and the width directions are both in the same direction as the second predetermined direction.

[0046] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The air blowing member 20 is configured to blow air toward the air guide member 10 to form a cooling airflow. The cooling airflow flows from the air blowing member 20 toward the air guide member 11. The wind shield 11 is configured to prevent the cooling airflow from flowing out of the air-cooling area 901. The air blowing member 20 may include multiple fans 21 arranged along a first predetermined direction, i.e., the multiple fans 21 are arranged from the cooling member inlet 9011 to the cooling member outlet 9012. One fan 21 corresponds to multiple air outlet gaps 101 to improve heat dissipation efficiency. In other embodiments, the air blowing member 20 may also be a fan.

[0047] The guide plate 12 can block the cooling airflow in the cooling area 901 from flowing toward the heating area 902, and guide the cooling airflow in the cooling area 901 toward the air outlet gap 101, so that the cooling airflow flows out of the air outlet gap 101. Due to the guiding effect of the guide plate 12, the cooling airflow cannot spread in the second predetermined direction, thereby reducing the loss and diffusion of heat in the cooling area 901.

[0048] In this embodiment, the first preset direction is in the same direction as the second preset direction. At this time, the guide plate 12 can prevent the cooling airflow in the air-cooling area 901 from flowing toward the heating area 902 along the first preset direction, thereby reducing the impact of the cooling airflow in the air-cooling area 901 on the heat in the heating area 902.

[0049] Specifically, the guide plate 12 can guide the cooling airflow in the air-cooling area 901 toward the wind shield 11, so that the cooling airflow is blocked by the wind shield 11 and eventually flows out of the air outlet gap 101 due to the action of air pressure. The guide plate 12 can also guide the cooling airflow in the air-cooling area 901 toward the air outlet gap 101, so that the cooling airflow flows out of the air outlet gap 101. The guide plate 12 can also guide the cooling airflow blocked by the wind shield 11 toward the air outlet gap 101, so that the cooling airflow flows out of the air outlet gap 101. The first diversion 91 can flow directly out of the air outlet gap 101. The guide plate has a first surface 121 and a second surface 122. The following description uses the example of a guide plate connected to the edge of the wind shield, with the first surface 121 of the guide plate being closer to the air outlet gap than the second surface 122.

[0050] Understandable, see Figure 2, the guide plate 12 and the wind shield 11 are set at an angle. When the angle between the two is 90°, the cooling airflow can be divided into a first diversion 91 that blows directly toward the air outlet gap 101 and a second diversion 92 that blows directly toward the wind shield 11. The first diversion 91 can flow out directly from the air outlet gap 101. The second diversion 92 is blocked by the second surface 122 of the wind shield 12 and accumulates on the side of the wind shield 12 facing the air-cooling area 901. As the second diversion continues to accumulate, the air pressure in the area of ​​the air-cooling area 901 close to the wind shield 11 eventually increases, until the second diversion 92 flows to the first surface 121 of another adjacent guide plate 12 under the action of air pressure. Due to the guiding effect of the first surface 121 of the other guide plate 12, the first diversion 91 and the second diversion 92 flow out of the air outlet gap 101 along the extension direction of the guide plate 12.

[0051] When the angle between the two is not 90°, the cooling airflow can be divided into a first split flow 91 that blows directly toward the air outlet gap 101, a second split flow 92 that blows directly toward the wind shield 11, and a third split flow 93 that blows directly toward the guide plate 12. The first split flow 91 can flow directly out of the air outlet gap 101. The second split flow 92 is blocked by the wind shield 12 and accumulates on the side of the wind shield 12 facing the air cooling area 901. The third split flow 93, guided by the guide plate 12, flows toward the air outlet gap 101 or the wind shield 11.

[0052] Taking the example where the first surface 121 of the guide plate is generally facing downward and the second surface 122 is generally facing upward, the first surface 121 of the guide plate 12 guides the third split flow 93 to flow directly toward the air outlet gap 101 , and the third split flow 93 flows out from the air outlet gap 101 .

[0053] Taking the example of the first surface 121 of the guide plate facing roughly upward and the second surface 122 facing roughly downward, the second surface 122 of the guide plate 12 guides the third diversion flow 93 to flow directly to the wind shield 11, and the third diversion flow 93 merges with the second diversion flow 92. Due to the blocking effect of the wind shield 11, the third diversion flow 93 and the second diversion flow 92 are accumulated on the side of the wind shield 11 facing the air-cooling area 901, resulting in a higher air pressure in the area of ​​the air-cooling area 901 close to the wind shield 11. Until the third diversion flow 93 and the second diversion flow 92 flow to the first surface 121 of another adjacent guide plate 12 under the action of air pressure, due to the guiding effect of the first surface 121 of the other guide plate 12, the third diversion flow 93 and the second diversion flow 92 flow out of the air outlet gap 101 along the extension direction of the guide plate 12. At the same time, the first diversion flow 91 is affected by the second diversion flow 92 and the third diversion flow 93 and also flows out of the air outlet gap 101 roughly along the extension direction of the guide plate 12. The obstruction of the windshield 11 thus acts as a buffer for the flow of the cooling airflow generated by the air blowing member 20, slowing the speed at which the cooling airflow flows out of the cooling area 901, thereby reducing heat loss from the cooling area 901 and insulating the heat within the cooling area 901. Simultaneously, the diversion function of the guide plate 12 can limit the diffusion of heat, not only achieving a certain insulation effect but also preventing the cooling airflow from affecting the heat within the heating area 902. The cooling mechanism 100 can cool and solidify the material within the cooling area 901 through the flow of cooling air, with minimal impact on the heat within the cooling area 901.

[0054] The plurality of guide plates 12 are arranged substantially in parallel so that the cooling airflow flowing out of the air outlet gap 101 has substantially the same wind direction. Substantially parallel means that the plurality of guide plates 12 are parallel or the angle difference between them does not exceed 5°.

[0055] In this example, see Figure 1 The windshields 11 are parallel to the second predetermined direction, so that the multiple windshields 11 are in the same plane, and the resulting air outlet gaps 101 are also in the same plane as the windshields 11. This further restricts the third diversion flow 93 and the second diversion flow 92 accumulated within the windshields 11 from flowing out of the air outlet gaps 101 along the windshields 11. Instead, the third diversion flow 93 and the second diversion flow 92 can only flow out through the guide plate 12, which further reduces the flow rate of the cooling airflow during the diversion process. The cooling airflow generated by the air blowing member 20 can be directed perpendicular to the plane of the windshields 11. In this case, the windshield 11 only blocks the cooling airflow, further restricting the third diversion flow 93 and the second diversion flow 92 from flowing along the windshield 11.

[0056] Optionally, the width of the wind shield 11 in the second preset direction may be greater than the width of the air outlet gap 101 in the second preset direction, so as to reduce the proportion of the ventilation openings formed by multiple air outlet gaps 101, so that the multiple wind shields 11 have a better thermal insulation effect and reduce the heat loss in the air-cooling area 901.

[0057] Optionally, the extension length of the guide plate 12 is greater than or equal to the width of the air outlet gap 101 in the preset direction. At this time, the extension length of the guide plate 12 toward the air-cooling area 901 is longer, which can guide more cooling airflow toward the wind shield 11, so as to better limit the cooling airflow in the air-cooling area 901 from spreading to the surrounding area.

[0058] Optionally, the extension length of the guide plate 12 is smaller than the width of the wind shield 11 in the second preset direction. In this case, the wind shield 11 is wider to achieve a better heat preservation effect.

[0059] See also Figure 1 In order to guide the cooling airflow to flow out from the air outlet gap 101, the guide plate 12 is connected to the edge of the wind shield 11. At this time, one side of the guide plate 12 is the air outlet gap 101, and the other side is the wind shield 11. The side facing the wind shield 11 can guide the cooling airflow to gather at the wind shield 11, and the side facing the air outlet gap 101 can guide the cooling airflow to flow directly out of the air outlet gap 101, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect and facilitating processing.

[0060] As an example, see Figure 1 The guide plate 12 and the wind shield 11 are arranged at an obtuse angle. This allows the third diversion flow 93, which flows directly toward the guide plate 12, to flow toward the wind shield 11 under the guidance of the guide plate 12. Simultaneously, the guide plate 12 blocks a portion of the air outlet gap 101 in the blowing direction of the air blowing member 20, thereby reducing the flow of the first diversion flow 91. This further reduces the amount of cooling air flowing out of the air outlet gap 101 and improves the thermal insulation effect. In other embodiments, the guide plate 12 and the wind shield 11 may also be arranged at an acute or right angle.

[0061] However, if the third diversion 93 and the second diversion 92 accumulate too much and cannot flow out in time, it is easy to generate an internal circulation of the cooling airflow in the air-cooling area 901, affecting the heat of the heating area 902. Therefore, the projection of the air outlet gap 101 on the blowing member 20 covers the projection of the guide plate 12 on the blowing member 20. That is to say, the guide plate 12 does not completely block the air outlet gap 101 in the blowing direction of the blowing member 20, so that part of the cooling airflow can flow out directly through the air outlet gap 101 to ensure good heat dissipation and air cooling effects.

[0062] If the angle between the guide plate 12 and the wind shield 11 is too large, not only will excessive cooling airflow be blocked from flowing directly out of the air outlet gap 101, affecting the cooling effect, but the guide plate 12 will also reduce its ability to guide the cooling airflow. Therefore, the angle between the guide plate 12 and the wind shield 11 can be set to be greater than or equal to 90° and less than or equal to 135°.

[0063] In this example, see Figure 1 The included angle between the guide plate 12 and the wind shield 11 is 100°. At this angle, the guide plate 12 can better guide the cooling airflow accumulated in the wind shield 11 to flow out from the air outlet gap 101 without blocking too much air outlet gap 101, and limit the diffusion of the cooling airflow.

[0064] The guide plate 12 is connected to the side of the corresponding windshield 11 near the heating area 902. The guide plate 12 guides the cooling airflow from the air outlet gap 101 and discharges it toward the side away from the heating area 902, thereby preventing the cooling airflow from blowing back toward the heating area 902 and preventing hot air from spraying onto operators working near the heating area 902.

[0065] See also Figure 1 and Figure 3 For ease of processing, the windshield 11 and the guide plate 12 are integrally formed. The air guide 10 can be formed from a flat plate by cutting the outline of the guide plate 12 into the plate and then bending the guide plate 12 to one side through a stamping process. In this embodiment, the guide plate 12 is bent 80°, creating gaps in the plate that serve as outlet gaps 101. The windshield 11 is formed between adjacent outlet gaps 101. This method of processing offers low cost and a stable structure. Compared to air guides assembled by welding or other methods, the air guide 10 is more precise and less prone to breakage.

[0066] In this embodiment, the connection between the guide plate 12 and the wind shield 11 is rounded so that the third diversion 93 guided by the guide plate 12 generates an impulse to flow toward another adjacent guide plate 12 when passing through the wind shield 11, and at the same time drives the second diversion 92 to flow toward another adjacent guide plate 12, until the third diversion 93 and the second diversion 92 flow to another adjacent guide plate 12, and then are guided by another adjacent guide plate 12 to flow out from the air outlet gap 101.

[0067] Optionally, the length of the outlet gap 101 along the second predetermined direction, projected onto the air blowing member 20, is greater than the length of the fan 21 along the second predetermined direction. This allows the cooling airflow generated by the fan 21 to be covered by the air guide 10 along its length, preventing the cooling airflow from spreading. It should be noted that the length of the outlet gap 101 is perpendicular to the second predetermined direction, and the length of the fan 21 is the length along the length of the outlet gap 101. In the second predetermined direction, one fan corresponds to multiple outlet gaps.

[0068] In this example, see Figure 1 , at least one guide plate 12 is closer to the cooling member inlet 9011 than the blast member 20 in the second preset direction, and the guide plate 12 closer to the cooling member inlet 9011 can limit the cooling airflow from the cooling member inlet 9011. At least one guide plate 12 is closer to the cooling member outlet 9012 than the blast member 20 in the second preset direction, and the guide plate 12 closer to the cooling member outlet 9012 can limit the cooling airflow from the cooling member outlet 9012. In this way, the cooling airflow blown out by the blast member 20 is all within the coverage of the air guide member 10, that is, the cooling airflow can be guided by the guide plates 12, and the guide plates 12 at both ends of the air guide member 10 can limit the cooling airflow from diffusing to the surrounding area.

[0069] The present invention further provides an air guide 10 for guiding the cooling airflow from the air inlet to the air outlet. The air inlet may be provided with an air blowing member 20 to generate the cooling airflow flowing toward the air outlet.

[0070] See also Figure 3 The wind guide 10 includes a bracket body 13, a plurality of wind shields 11 and a plurality of guide plates 12. The plurality of wind shields 11 are respectively connected to the bracket body 13 and are configured to block the passage of the cooling airflow; the plurality of wind shields 11 are arranged at intervals along a first preset direction; an air outlet gap 101 is formed between two adjacent wind shields 11, and a guide plate 12 is connected to a wind shield 11 and extends toward the air inlet. Among them, the wind shields 11 and the guide plates 12 have the same structure and function as the wind shields 11 and the guide plates 12 in the above-mentioned embodiments, and are not described in detail here. The bracket body 13 is used to support the wind shields 11 so that the plurality of wind shields 11 are arranged at intervals along the first preset direction. In this embodiment, the plurality of wind shields 11 and the bracket body 13 are arranged coplanarly for ease of processing. The bracket body 13 can be connected to the edge of the air outlet, and the guide plates 12 extend out of the air outlet to guide the airflow blown from the air inlet into the air outlet. The guide member 10 is an integrally formed part, that is, formed by punching a flat plate. The air guide member 10 made by this processing method is easy to process and has low cost.

[0071] The present invention also provides a heating device, see Figure 1 and Figure 4, the heating device includes a heating mechanism 200 and an air-cooling mechanism 100 as in the above-mentioned embodiments, wherein the air-cooling mechanism 100 has the same structure and the same function as the air-cooling mechanism 100 in the above-mentioned embodiments, and will not be described in detail here. The heating mechanism 200 is provided with a heating area 902, and the heat in the heating area 902 can heat the material in the heating area 902. The air-cooling area 901 is arranged close to the heating area 902, so that the material enters the air-cooling area 901 for cooling after the heating treatment. When in use, the material is first placed in the heating area 902 for heating. After the material completes the heating process, it becomes a part to be cooled, and then the part to be cooled is transported to the air-cooling area 901 of the air-cooling mechanism 100 for heat dissipation, so that the material is cooled and solidified by the cooling airflow. Among them, the air guide 10 can guide the cooling airflow blown out by the blowing member 20 to flow back to the heating mechanism 200 and be discharged from the air-cooling area 901. Specifically, the guide plate 12 is positioned at the edge of the windshield 11 near the heating region 902 and is arranged at an obtuse angle to the windshield 11. Thus, when the air cooling mechanism 100 cools and solidifies the material, the cooling airflow within the air cooling region 901 is blocked by the guide plate 12 and prevented from flowing toward the heating region 902. At the same time, the windshield 11 insulates the air cooling region 901 from the heating region 902, thereby preventing it from affecting the heat within the heating region 902. Furthermore, the cooling airflow exiting the air cooling region 901 flows away from the heating mechanism 200, thereby preventing operators working near the heating mechanism 200 from being affected by the hot cooling airflow.

[0072] In this embodiment, the material can be a cable with heat shrink tubing, and the heating mechanism 200 is a heat shrink unit. When the material is placed in the heating area 902 of the heating mechanism 200, the heat shrink tubing shrinks, melting the colloid inside the tubing. When the material is transported to the cooling area 901 of the air cooling mechanism 100, the colloid is solidified by the cooling airflow generated by the air blast member 20. Due to the heat-insulating effect of the windshield 11 and the diffusion-preventing effect of the guide plate 12, this cooling airflow does not affect the shrinkage of the heat shrink tubing in the heating area 902, thereby avoiding increasing the energy consumption of the heat shrink unit.

[0073] The above is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and specifically describes the technical principles of the present invention. These descriptions are intended only to explain the principles of the present invention and should not be construed in any way as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention. Based on the explanations herein, any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention, as well as other specific embodiments of the present invention that can be imagined by those skilled in the art without inventive effort, shall be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
