Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of aluminum profile quenching technology, and more specifically, to an aluminum profile quenching system. Background Technology

[0002] As is well known, metal heat treatment involves heating a metal workpiece to a suitable temperature and holding it for a period of time, followed by rapid cooling by immersion in a quenching medium. Commonly used quenching media include brine, water, mineral oil, and air. Quenching can improve the hardness and wear resistance of metal workpieces. Quenching of extruded aluminum profiles is one of the key technologies for obtaining high-quality aluminum profiles. Aluminum profiles generally require high strength and good surface quality; a reasonable and effective quenching process can improve the mechanical strength of aluminum profiles.

[0003] The existing quenching system often has the following problems in its cooling section: (1) Due to the limited space of the production workshop, the workshop cannot be constructed, so only a single-function cooling equipment can be installed; (2) The single-function quenching equipment can only cool a single type of aluminum profile; (3) One extrusion press is fixedly equipped with one set of cooling equipment, and different functions of cooling equipment cannot be used selectively; (4) The existing quenching cooling equipment in the production workshop cannot meet the cooling requirements of different types of aluminum profiles. Summary of the Invention

The water-cooling device includes a water-cooling chamber and a baffle plate covering the discharge end of the water-cooling chamber, with multiple water inlets spaced apart on the water-cooling chamber. The aluminum profiles are conveyed inside the atomizing chamber, the air-cooling chamber, and the water-cooling chamber via conveying structures.

[0006] The aforementioned aluminum profile quenching system, through the inclusion of a displacement structure, allows the atomizing cooling device, air-cooling cooling device, and water-cooling device to move freely within the production workshop. This enables rapid assembly of the quenching system based on the workshop's site conditions, accommodating different types of aluminum profiles and solving the problem of existing quenching systems failing to meet the cooling requirements of various profile types. The system also incorporates a spray assembly for effective cooling of the aluminum profiles within the atomizing chamber, and water-absorbing strips to facilitate the unloading process after quenching within the atomizing chamber. In this system, the absorbent strip can absorb and clean residual moisture on the surface of the aluminum profile; an air outlet allows external air to enter the air-cooled chamber, achieving air cooling of the aluminum profile; a water inlet allows external coolant to be introduced into the water tank, accumulating the liquid level inside the water tank to a certain height, enabling water cooling of the aluminum profile when it is transported into the water tank; and a baffle plate prevents leakage of liquid inside the water tank, avoiding contamination of the production workshop environment.

[0007] Furthermore, the displacement structure includes a first support frame and pulleys rotatably mounted on the bottom of the first support frame. The three first support frames are respectively used to support and fix the atomizing box, the air-cooling box, and the water-passing box; a fixing structure is connected to one side of the first support frame of the atomizing cooling device.

[0010] Furthermore, an extension rod is connected above the discharge end of the atomizing box, and a positioning plate is installed on the extension rod. Multiple water-absorbing strips are threadedly installed on the positioning plate at intervals. A drain outlet communicating with the interior of the atomizing box is provided at the bottom of the atomizing box.

[0011] Furthermore, the air-cooled device also includes a plurality of air boxes respectively disposed on the outer side wall of the air-cooled box, each air box being connected to an air outlet, and the air box and the air outlet corresponding one-to-one.

[0028] In this invention, the terms "first" and "second" do not represent a specific quantity or order, but are merely used to distinguish names.

[0029] like Figure 1-6As shown, an aluminum profile quenching system according to one embodiment of the present invention includes an atomizing cooling device, an air-cooling cooling device, and a water-cooling device, all equipped with displacement structures 1. The atomizing cooling device includes an atomizing box 2 and a spray assembly disposed on the atomizing box 2, with multiple water-absorbing strips 21 spaced apart on the discharge end of the atomizing box 2. The air-cooling cooling device includes an air-cooling box 4 and multiple air outlets 41 distributed on the inner sidewall of the air-cooling box 4. The water-cooling device includes a water-cooling box 5 and a baffle plate 6 covering the feed end of the water-cooling box 5, with multiple water inlets 51 spaced apart on the water-cooling box 5. The aluminum profiles are conveyed inside the atomizing box 2, the air-cooling box 4, and the water-cooling box 5 through a conveying structure 7.

[0030] The aforementioned aluminum profile quenching system, through the installation of a displacement structure 1, allows the atomizing cooling device, air-cooling cooling device, and water-cooling device to move back and forth within the production workshop. This enables rapid assembly of the quenching system based on the workshop's site conditions, accommodating different types of aluminum profiles and solving the problem that existing quenching systems cannot meet the cooling requirements of various aluminum profile types. A spray assembly is included to achieve spray cooling of the aluminum profiles within the atomizing chamber 2. Furthermore, water-absorbing strips 21 are installed to facilitate the removal of the aluminum profiles after quenching within the atomizing chamber 2. 1. It can absorb and clean residual moisture on the surface of aluminum profiles; 2. With an air outlet 41, external air enters the air-cooled box 4 through the air outlet 41 to achieve air cooling of the aluminum profiles; 3. With a water inlet 51, external coolant is introduced into the water tank 5 through the water inlet 51, and the liquid level inside the water tank 5 is accumulated to a certain height. When the aluminum profile is transported into the water tank 5, water cooling of the aluminum profile can be achieved; 4. With a baffle 6, the baffle 6 can prevent leakage of liquid inside the water tank 5 and avoid contaminating the working environment of the production workshop.

[0031] Specifically, the conveying structure includes, but is not limited to, rollers.

[0032] like Figure 1-6 As shown, in one embodiment, the displacement structure 1 includes a first support frame 11 and pulleys 12 rotatably mounted on the bottom of the first support frame 11. The three first support frames 11 are respectively used to support and fix the atomizing box 2, the air-cooling box 4, and the water-passing box 5; a fixing structure 8 is connected to one side of the first support frame 11 of the atomizing cooling device. Thus, by providing pulleys 12, it is convenient to adjust the work positions between devices, and selective assembly can be performed in real time according to the cooling requirements of the aluminum profile, such as: spray atomizing cooling device + air-cooling cooling device, air-cooling cooling device + spray atomizing cooling device, etc., which solves the problem that an extrusion press can only be fixedly configured with one set of cooling equipment and cannot selectively use cooling equipment with different functions.

[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the fixing structure 8 includes a fixing block 81, a first connecting arm 82 and a second connecting arm 83, and a plug-in block 84 inserted into the first support frame 11. The first connecting arm 82 is connected between the plug-in block 84 and the second connecting arm 83, and the fixing block 81 is rotatably mounted on the second connecting arm 83. Thus, by providing the fixing block 81, the fixing block 81 can smoothly abut against the ground or wall surface by rotation, providing certain support for the first support frame 11. After the work position is fixed, it prevents the pulley 12 on the first support frame 11 from sliding, improving the stability of the device during installation.

[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the spray assembly includes two sets of nozzle pipes 31 and two sets of atomizing pipes 32, all arranged facing each other. The two sets of nozzle pipes 31 are respectively located at the upper and lower ends inside the atomizing chamber 2, and the two sets of atomizing pipes 32 are respectively located on the inner sidewalls of opposite sides of the atomizing chamber 2. Thus, by providing the nozzle pipes 31, the aluminum profile is simultaneously sprayed and cooled at the top and bottom of the conveying structure 7; by providing the atomizing pipes 32, the liquid is dispersed into tiny droplets through nozzles or high-speed airflow and sprayed onto the aluminum profile, achieving spray cooling of the aluminum profile.

[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, an extension rod 22 is connected above the discharge end of the atomizing box 2, and a positioning plate 23 is installed on the extension rod 22. Multiple water-absorbing strips 21 are threadedly installed on the positioning plate 23 at intervals. A drain outlet 24 communicating with the interior of the atomizing box 2 is provided at the bottom of the atomizing box 2. In this way, by providing the extension rod 22, the discharge distance of the aluminum profile is extended, and during this conveying process, the water-absorbing strips 21 can absorb the residual moisture on the surface of the quenched aluminum profile.

[0036] Preferably, the absorbent strip 21 is made of felt. In this way, the felt has good water absorption properties and can effectively absorb moisture.

[0037] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the air-cooled device further includes multiple air boxes 42 respectively disposed on the outer wall of the air-cooled housing 4. Each air box 42 is connected to an air outlet 41, and the air box 42 and the air outlet 41 correspond one-to-one. In this way, by providing air boxes 42, external air source is introduced into the air outlet 41 through the air box 42, and then cold air is blown into the air-cooled housing 4 through the air outlet 41 corresponding to the air box 42, thereby achieving air-cooling and cooling of the aluminum profile.

[0038] Specifically, each of the bellows 42 is provided with an air inlet 421.

[0039] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, the baffle plate 6 is detachably installed at the feed end of the water tank 5; side baffles 52 are provided on both sides of the water tank 5, and multiple through holes are spaced through the side baffles 52, with the water inlet 51 formed in the through holes. Thus, by providing the side baffles 52, the installation of the water inlet structure 53 is facilitated.

[0040] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, each water inlet 51 is equipped with a water inlet structure 53. The water inlet structure 53 includes a connecting pipe 531 and a connecting collar 532 sleeved on the connecting pipe 531. The end of the connecting pipe 531 away from the connecting collar 532 is inserted into a through hole and communicates with the water inlet 51. The connecting collar 532 is annular and has multiple water inlet slots 5321 spaced apart along its circumference. Each water inlet slot 5321 is connected to an external water source.

[0041] like Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, a return water space 9 is formed inside the water tank 5, extending beyond the conveying range of the conveying structure 7. The return water space 9 is funnel-shaped, and a drain outlet 91 is provided at the bottom of the return water space 9. A sealing cap 92 is detachably provided at the drain outlet 91. Thus, by providing the return water space 9, when the liquid in the water tank 5 exceeds the liquid level, the overflowing liquid will flow into the return water space 9 for storage and collection. This effectively prevents liquid from splashing outside the water tank 5 and causing pollution to the working environment, and also allows for the recycling and reuse of the overflowing liquid.

[0042] In one embodiment, the pulley 12 is a caster wheel. This allows for flexible steering, suitability for confined spaces, high reliability, long service life, and effectively reduces production costs.

[0043] Working principle:

[0044] The aluminum profile quenching system of this invention does not have fixed upper and lower workstations. Workers can quickly install quenching devices using casters and a fixed structure 8, based on the workshop conditions. This allows for the determination of suitable workstations and different quenching devices for different types of aluminum profiles. Selective assembly is performed in real-time according to the cooling requirements of the aluminum profiles, such as a spray atomization cooling device + an air-cooling device, or an air-cooling device + a spray atomization cooling device. This solves the problem that an extrusion press can only be equipped with one set of cooling equipment, and cannot selectively use different functional cooling devices, thus meeting the cooling requirements of different types of aluminum profiles. Each functional quenching device can be quickly assembled using flanges and quick clamps. The water inlet 51 is quickly installed using a quick connector, and the air inlet 421 is clamped using flanges and quick clamps. When producing an aluminum profile with high cooling requirements, if the existing quenching equipment cannot meet the cooling needs, additional quenching devices can be selectively added to meet production requirements.

[0045] The advantages or benefits of the aluminum profile quenching system in this invention are as follows: (1) It can be adapted to the installation of the equipment without civil construction. The installation of the device can be achieved quickly by the movement of the casters and the support of the fixed structure 8, thereby reducing the installation cost; (2) It breaks the rule of one quenching device for one extrusion press. The quenching device can be selected according to the aluminum profile produced by the extrusion press at that time, so that one set of quenching devices can be used by multiple extrusion presses; (3) It can be selectively assembled according to the aluminum profiles with different cooling requirements, so as to maximize the performance of the aluminum profiles; (4) The quenching device can be mass-produced, so that extrusion presses of the same tonnage can be used together, thereby reducing the design cost; (5) It can upgrade and transform the old version of the online quenching equipment to improve the performance of the aluminum profiles.

[0046] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0047] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of the present invention, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of this invention patent should be determined by the appended claims.
