The temperature of the strip-shaped strip output by continuous extrusion is usually about 560℃, and the alloy inside the strip-shaped strip needs to be rapidly cooled to produce solid solution.

[0010] Further, a pair of fixed plates is installed between the strip inlet and the strip outlet in the water tank, and the limiting mechanisms are arranged in the transverse direction between the pair of fixed plates.

[0011] Further, the limiting mechanism comprises a lower limiting graphite block fixed to the pair of fixed plates, a slot is arranged on the upper surface of the lower limiting graphite block in the transverse direction, and an upper limiting graphite block capable of being opened and closed by turning over is arranged on the upper side of the lower limiting graphite block.

[0012] Furthermore, the fixing grooves are provided laterally spaced within a pair of fixing plates, and the lower limit graphite block is disposed within the fixing grooves and locked by a locking mechanism.

[0013] Furthermore, the locking mechanism includes two pairs of locking bolts screwed onto the fixed plate, with one end of each locking bolt penetrating the lower limit graphite block.

[0014] Furthermore, the upper limit graphite block is fixed inside the grooved cover plate, one side of the grooved cover plate is hinged to a fixed plate located on one side, and the other side of the grooved cover plate is connected to a fixed plate located on the other side via a quick-locking clamp.
