Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of copper die-casting processing technology, specifically to a cooling device for copper plates and strips. Background Technology
[0002] Copper strip is a thin, flat copper material commonly used in electronics, electrical and other applications. These strip-shaped copper materials can have different thicknesses, widths and lengths depending on specific needs. Cooling devices on copper strips are typically used to cool the copper material during manufacturing or processing. The cooling process is crucial for ensuring product quality, improving production efficiency and controlling material properties.
[0003] A search revealed a Chinese patent (publication number CN115365465A) disclosing a cooling device for horizontally continuously cast copper strips, including a circulating water box and an air blowing box. This invention achieves continuous horizontal casting and traction of copper strips with wall thicknesses ranging from 2 to 20 mm without altering the horizontally continuously cast copper strip production line, exhibiting significant cooling effects and high production efficiency and equipment utilization. The air blowing box ensures the airflow temperature remains low. The circulating water box enables rapid discharge of high-temperature water and full utilization of low-temperature water, improving cooling efficiency. Furthermore, the circulating water can be reused repeatedly, meeting national energy conservation and emission reduction requirements and satisfying the process requirements for intelligent manufacturing and inspection of copper strips. However, this invention does not clean the water stains remaining on the surface of the copper strip after water cooling, thus affecting subsequent production processes.

[0014] Preferably, the plurality of wind caps are disposed between adjacent guide vanes and fan b.
[0015] Working Principle: The copper strip passes through the feed port via the control panel. The water pump, fan A, and fan B are started. After the water pump starts, the cooling water inside the tank is sprayed out through the connecting pipe from the spherical spray nozzle. As the water flows through the connecting pipe, it drives the fan blades to rotate. The fan blades drive the rotating rod A, which in turn drives the spherical spray nozzle to rotate, thus evenly spraying the cooling water onto the copper strip. After cooling the copper strip, the water temperature rises and flows into the water tank through the drain pipe. The increased temperature of the cooling water transfers heat to the drain pipe, and fan A starts to cool the drain pipe, thus cooling the drain pipe. The internal cooling water cools the copper strip, while the high temperature generated inside the ventilation box by the drain pipe is blown by fan a through the air duct and then by fan b onto the copper strip inside the water tank. After fan b starts, the air it generates blows the air cap to rotate. The air cap drives gear b, which in turn drives gear a to rotate. Gear a then drives the eccentric wheel to rotate. The eccentric wheel drives the connecting rod b through gear a, which in turn drives the guide plate to swing, thus blowing the hot air inside the air duct evenly onto the copper strip, thereby drying the cooling water on the copper strip. This completes the cooling and drying of the copper strip.
[0016] This invention provides a cooling device for copper strips. It has the following beneficial effects:
[0017] 1. This invention, through the cooperation of an inlet pipe, a stop valve, a water supply pipe, a water pump, a connecting pipe, a spherical shower head, a connecting rod a, a rotating rod a, a fan blade, a drain pipe, a fan a, a grille, and an air duct, enables the water flow inside the connecting pipe to drive the fan blade to rotate, thereby using the rotating rod a to drive the spherical shower head to rotate, thus achieving the effect of uniformly spraying cooling water.
[0018] 2. This invention utilizes the cooperation of fan b, guide plate, connecting rod b, support rod, rotating rod b, eccentric wheel, driving rod, gear a, rotating rod c, gear b, rotating frame, and wind cap to make fan b blow the wind cap to drive gear b to rotate. Gear b drives gear a, which in turn drives the eccentric wheel to rotate. The eccentric wheel drives the driving rod to move the connecting rod up and down, thereby driving the guide plate to rotate, thus making the airflow evenly applied to the copper strip.
[0019] 3. The present invention, through the cooperation of drain pipe, fan a, air duct and fan b, makes the temperature of the cooling water rise after cooling the copper strip. When it flows through the drain pipe, its temperature is further conducted to the water supply and drainage pipe. Fan a cools the drain pipe and thus the cooling water. On the other hand, the temperature of the drain pipe is blown onto the copper strip by fan b through the air duct to dry the copper strip. Attached Figure Description
