Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of solution cooling equipment technology, specifically to a controllable and constant cooling device after solution treatment. Background Technology

[0002] Solution treatment is a common heat treatment process for metals, typically used to improve the hardness and strength of materials. This process involves heating the metal to a certain temperature to achieve a solution state, followed by cooling to alter its microstructure. The cooling process is crucial to the performance of the final product and therefore requires precise control.

[0003] Existing solution treatment equipment mainly includes a solution furnace and a cooling system. The cooling system may use water cooling or air cooling to reduce the temperature of the treated metal. However, in practical applications, the cooling rate and cooling uniformity are important factors affecting product quality.

[0004] The shortcomings of existing technology:

[0005] 1. Difficulty in controlling the cooling rate: Existing cooling equipment often cannot control the cooling rate well, especially in the transition from high temperature to low temperature. This may lead to uneven stress distribution inside the metal material, thus affecting the quality of the final product.

[0006] 2. Poor cooling uniformity: Due to uneven airflow or uneven distribution of cooling medium, the temperature gradient during the cooling process is large, resulting in different cooling rates for different parts of the product, which can easily lead to deformation or cracks.

[0007] 3. Low level of automation: Traditional equipment requires a lot of manual operation, which is not only inefficient, but also results in poor consistency and stability of production due to human factors.

[0008] Therefore, existing technologies have shortcomings and need further improvement. Summary of the Invention

[0009] To address the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a controllable and constant cooling device after solution treatment.

[0010] To achieve the above objectives, the specific solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0011] This invention provides a controllable and constant cooling device after solution treatment, comprising:

[0012] The first-stage cooling mechanism and the second-stage cooling mechanism are used for rapid cooling and natural cooling, respectively.

[0013] A solution furnace and a second-stage cooling mechanism are respectively installed on both sides of the first-stage cooling mechanism;

[0014] A first conveyor chain assembly is provided in the solution furnace, and a hanging basket is provided on the first conveyor chain assembly for placing the product to be dissolved.

[0015] The first-stage cooling mechanism and the second-stage cooling mechanism are used to cool the product after solution treatment.

[0016] The first-stage cooling mechanism cools faster than the second-stage cooling mechanism;

[0017] The first-stage cooling mechanism is equipped with an air intake fan and a temperature sensor, and constant cooling is achieved by controlling the speed of the air intake fan through the temperature sensor.

[0018] Furthermore, the air intake fan is positioned above the first-stage cooling mechanism and is connected to the first-stage cooling mechanism via an air intake pipe. The lower part of the first-stage cooling mechanism is connected to the air outlet fan via a ventilation pipe.

[0019] Furthermore, the cooling device also includes a hooking assembly disposed between the solution furnace and the first-stage cooling mechanism, which is used to hook the hanging basket from the solution furnace to the first-stage cooling mechanism.

[0020] A first movable door assembly is provided between the hooking assembly and the solution furnace;

[0021] The hook assembly includes a first motor, a first belt, a first connecting rod, a first push-pull rod, and a hook;

[0022] The first belt is located below the first push-pull rod. The upper and lower ends of the first connecting rod are connected to the first push-pull rod and the first belt, respectively. The hook is located at the front end of the first push-pull rod. The shaft of the first motor is used to drive the first belt to rotate in both directions, thereby driving the first push-pull rod to achieve push-pull movement. The hook is provided with an inclined surface. After the first movable door assembly is opened, the first push-pull rod pushes forward, and the inclined surface of the hook slides into the bottom of the hanging basket to hook the hanging basket, thereby pulling the hanging basket to the second transport chain assembly of the first-stage cooling mechanism.

[0023] Furthermore, a second movable door assembly is provided between the first-stage cooling mechanism and the hook assembly;

[0024] A third movable door assembly is provided between the second-stage cooling mechanism and the first-stage cooling mechanism.

[0025] Furthermore, the first-stage cooling mechanism includes a second transport chain assembly;

[0026] The hooking assembly is used to hook the basket from the end of the first transport chain assembly to the second transport chain assembly;

[0027] The hook assembly is located at the left end of the second transport chain assembly, and the air inlet of the air inlet fan is located above the right end of the second transport chain assembly. The products in the hanging basket undergo the first cooling process here, during which the second and third movable door assemblies are closed.

[0028] Photoelectric switches are also provided on both sides of the second transport chain assembly to determine whether the basket has reached the first-stage cooling mechanism;

[0029] The upper side of the second transport chain assembly is also equipped with an anemometer, a temperature and humidity sensor and an infrared temperature sensor, which are used to detect wind speed, humidity and temperature, respectively, and to control the cooling rate.

[0030] Furthermore, the second-stage cooling mechanism includes a third transport chain assembly and an axial flow fan;

[0031] The axial flow fan is installed above the third transport chain assembly;

[0032] After the first cooling mechanism performs the first cooling, the third movable door assembly opens the second and third transport chain assemblies to transport the basket onto the third transport chain assembly for the second cooling.

[0033] Furthermore, the cooling device also includes a control mechanism;

[0034] The control system includes an industrial control all-in-one computer and a touch screen;

[0035] The industrial control all-in-one computer is electrically connected to the touch screen, the air intake fan, the air outlet fan, the first motor, the axial flow fan, the first transport chain assembly, the second transport chain assembly, the third transport chain assembly, the first movable door assembly, the second movable door assembly, the third movable door assembly, the photoelectric switch, the anemometer, the temperature and humidity sensor, and the infrared temperature sensor.

[0036] Furthermore, a guide vane is provided in the air inlet duct.

[0037] Furthermore, a wind deflector is also provided above the hanging basket.

[0038] The technical solution of this invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0039] 1. Precise control of cooling rate: By setting up a first-stage rapid cooling mechanism and a second-stage natural cooling mechanism, and combining monitoring equipment such as anemometers, temperature and humidity sensors and infrared temperature sensors, the cooling rate can be monitored and adjusted in real time to ensure that the product obtains a uniform cooling effect during the cooling process after solution treatment.

[0040] 2. Improve cooling uniformity: By utilizing the design of the inlet fan, outlet fan, and guide vanes, the cooling medium (such as air) is ensured to be evenly distributed in the cooling area, avoiding local overcooling or undercooling and reducing the risk of material deformation or cracking caused by uneven cooling.

[0041] 3. Enhanced automation: The design of hook components, multiple transport chain components, and movable door components enables automatic transfer from the solution furnace to the cooling device, reducing the need for manual intervention and improving production efficiency and product consistency.

[0042] 4. Enhanced operability and flexibility: The combination of industrial control all-in-one computer and touch screen provides a user-friendly interface, making operation simpler and more intuitive. At the same time, cooling parameters can be flexibly adjusted according to different process requirements to meet diverse production needs. Attached Figure Description

[0047] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely for explaining the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. It should also be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts related to the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings, and not all of them.

[0048] Combination Figures 1-2 As shown, the present invention provides a controllable constant cooling device after solution treatment, comprising:

[0049] The first-stage cooling mechanism 1 and the second-stage cooling mechanism 2 are used for rapid cooling and natural cooling, respectively.

[0050] The first-stage cooling mechanism 1 is connected to the second-stage cooling mechanism 2 by a solution furnace 3 on each side.

[0051] The solution furnace 3 is equipped with a first transport chain assembly 4, on which a hanging basket 5 is provided for placing the product to be dissolved.

[0052] The first-stage cooling mechanism 1 and the second-stage cooling mechanism 2 are used to cool the product after solution treatment.

[0053] The first-stage cooling mechanism 1 cools faster than the second-stage cooling mechanism 2;

[0054] The first-stage cooling mechanism 1 is equipped with an air intake fan 6 and a temperature sensor. Constant cooling is achieved by controlling the speed of the air intake fan 6 through the temperature sensor.

[0055] The air intake fan 6 is located above the first-stage cooling mechanism 1 and is connected to the first-stage cooling mechanism 1 through an air intake pipe 7. The lower part of the first-stage cooling mechanism 1 is connected to the air outlet fan 27 through a ventilation pipe 8.

[0056] The cooling device also includes a hooking assembly, which is disposed between the solution furnace 3 and the first-stage cooling mechanism 1, and is used to hook the hanging basket 5 from the solution furnace 3 to the first-stage cooling mechanism 1.

[0058] The hook assembly includes a first motor 10, a first belt 11, a first connecting rod 12, a first push-pull rod 13, and a hook 14;

[0059] The first belt 11 is located below the first push-pull rod 13. The upper and lower ends of the first connecting rod 12 are respectively connected to the first push-pull rod 13 and the first belt 11. The hook 14 is located at the front end of the first push-pull rod 13. The rotating shaft of the first motor 10 is used to drive the first belt 11 to rotate in both directions, thereby driving the first push-pull rod 13 to achieve push-pull movement. The hook 14 is provided with an inclined surface. After the first movable door assembly 9 is opened, the first push-pull rod 13 pushes forward and the inclined surface of the hook 14 slides into the bottom of the hanging basket 5 to hook the hanging basket 5, thereby pulling the hanging basket 5 to the second transport chain assembly 17 of the first-stage cooling mechanism 1.

[0060] A second movable door assembly 15 is provided between the first-stage cooling mechanism and the hook assembly;

[0061] A third movable door assembly 16 is provided between the second-stage cooling mechanism 2 and the first-stage cooling mechanism 1.

[0063] The hooking assembly is used to hook the basket 5 from the end of the first transport chain assembly 4 to the second transport chain assembly 17;

[0064] The hook assembly is located at the left end of the second transport chain assembly 17, and the air inlet of the air inlet fan 6 is located above the right end of the second transport chain assembly 17. The product in the hanging basket 5 undergoes its first cooling process here. During the cooling process, the second movable door assembly 15 and the third movable door assembly 16 are closed.

[0065] The second transport chain assembly 17 is also provided with photoelectric switches 18 on both sides to determine whether the hanging basket 5 has reached the first-stage cooling mechanism 1;

[0066] The upper side of the second transport chain assembly 17 is also provided with an anemometer, a temperature and humidity sensor 19 and an infrared temperature sensor 20, which are used to detect wind speed, humidity and temperature, respectively, and to control the cooling rate.

[0067] The second-stage cooling mechanism 2 includes a third transport chain assembly 21 and an axial flow fan 22;

[0068] The axial flow fan 22 is installed above the third transport chain assembly 21;

[0069] After the first cooling mechanism 1 performs the first cooling, the third movable door assembly 16 opens the second transport chain assembly 17 and the third transport chain assembly 21 to transport the hanging basket 5 onto the third transport chain assembly 21 for the second cooling.

[0070] The cooling device also includes a control mechanism;

[0073] A guide plate 25 is provided in the air inlet pipe 7; a wind baffle 26 is also provided above the hanging basket 5.

[0074] This invention relates to a controllable and constant cooling device after solution treatment, the working principle of which is as follows:

[0075] Working principle:

[0076] 1. Start-up of the solution treatment process

[0077] The product to be processed is placed in the hanging basket 5 and transported by the first transport chain assembly 4 to the solution furnace 3 for heat treatment.

[0078] 2. Hook component action

[0079] The product that has completed the solution treatment needs to be quickly transferred to the cooling stage. At this time, the first movable door assembly 9 opens, and the hook assembly is activated.

[0080] The first motor 10 drives the first belt 11 to rotate in both directions, and pushes the first push-pull rod 13 forward through the first connecting rod 12, so that the hook 14 with the inclined surface is inserted into the bottom of the hanging basket 5, and the hanging basket 5 is hooked from the end of the first transport chain assembly 4 to the first-stage cooling mechanism 1.

[0081] After the hanging basket 5 is hooked, the first movable door assembly 9 closes to prevent heat loss.

[0082] 3. Rapid cooling phase

[0083] The hanging basket 5 is transported to the first-stage cooling mechanism 1 via the second transport chain assembly 17.

[0084] When the air intake fan 6 starts working, it delivers cooling air to the first-stage cooling mechanism 1 through the air intake pipe 7. The air is evenly distributed through the guide plate 25, which accelerates the heat exchange on the product surface.

[0085] The exhaust fan 27 discharges hot air through the ventilation duct 8, ensuring air circulation in the cooling area.

[0086] During this process, photoelectric switch 18 detects the position of hanging basket 5, and an anemometer, temperature and humidity sensor 19 and infrared temperature sensor 20 monitor the cooling conditions in real time to ensure that the cooling rate meets the set requirements.

[0087] When the product reaches the preset temperature, the second movable door assembly 15 closes to prevent cold air from entering the subsequent natural cooling zone.

[0088] 4. Natural cooling stage

[0089] After the first-stage cooling target is achieved, the third movable door assembly 16 opens, and the hanging basket 5 is transported to the second-stage cooling mechanism 2.

[0090] In the second-stage cooling mechanism 2, the product undergoes slower natural cooling via the third transport chain assembly 21.

[0091] The axial fan 22 continues to maintain a certain airflow circulation to help dissipate heat evenly.

[0092] 5. Fully intelligent control

[0093] The entire cooling process is monitored and managed by the industrial control computer 23, and the touch screen 24 displays the operation interface.

[0094] The control system adjusts the working status of each component, such as fan speed and door opening / closing, based on real-time data to ensure that the entire cooling process is controllable and stable.

[0095] 6. End

[0096] Once the product has cooled, it is removed from the cooling unit using a suitable transport mechanism, ready to proceed to the next process.

[0097] Through the above steps, the present invention achieves rapid and uniform cooling of the solution-treated product, while ensuring the controllability of the cooling process and the consistency of product quality.

[0098] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the scope of the invention. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present invention using the description and drawings of the present invention, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the protection scope of the present invention.
