Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of aluminum profile extrusion dies, and particularly to a stainless steel die for aluminum profile extrusion molding. Background Art

[0002] A stainless steel die for aluminum profile extrusion molding is a die specifically designed for an aluminum profile extruder, made of materials such as stainless steel with high strength and high wear resistance. It can extrude molten aluminum through the cavity of the die to form aluminum profiles with specific cross-sectional shapes, dimensions, and mechanical properties.

[0003] After retrieval, Chinese Patent with Publication No. CN218452504U discloses a cooling mechanism for an aluminum profile extrusion molding die. The aluminum profile extrusion molding die is installed at the discharge end of the output end of the extruder, and the cooling mechanism is installed outside the aluminum profile extrusion molding die. The cooling mechanism includes an outer cover, and the outer cover is connected with a uniform cooling component; the inner wall of the end of the outer cover is in sliding connection with the outer wall of the aluminum profile extrusion molding die in a fitting manner; the cooling component includes an inlet pipe, an outlet pipe, spray holes, a spiral pipe, and straight holes. A straight hole is opened at the bottom of one end of the outer cover, and the outer cover is fixedly connected with the outlet pipe at the outer end of the straight hole; through the above method, the above solution enters the spiral pipe through the inlet pipe of the cooling component, and then sprays out evenly from the spray holes. The evenly sprayed refrigerant fully and evenly contacts the outer wall of the aluminum profile extrusion molding die, which is beneficial to the rapid and uniform cooling of the aluminum profile extrusion molding die, beneficial to controlling the set temperature of the aluminum profile extrusion molding die, and beneficial to ensuring the forming quality of the aluminum profile. However, when the above solution is actually used, there are still the following deficiencies:

[0004] The above solution cools and reduces the temperature of the extruded aluminum profile by arranging a spiral pipe inside the outer cover. The spiral pipe is sleeved on the entire die. Since the spiral pipe covers the entire die, the cooling effect not only acts on the extruded aluminum profile, but also acts in advance on the stage before the aluminum rod is pressed into the die core. This will cause the aluminum rod to start cooling and solidifying before it completely enters the die cavity, increasing the extrusion force exerted on the die during the extrusion process. This additional pressure will accelerate the wear of the die and shorten its service life. In addition, although rapid cooling helps the shaping of the aluminum profile, premature cooling and solidification may lead to uneven stress distribution inside the aluminum profile, affecting its mechanical properties and surface quality. Especially when the aluminum rod has not been completely shaped into the required shape and starts to cool, it may cause defects such as cracks and deformation in the aluminum profile. Secondly, the flow of the refrigerant in the spiral pipe needs to be driven by an external liquid pump, which not only increases the complexity and energy consumption of the equipment, but also raises the production cost.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to design a stainless steel die for aluminum profile extrusion molding to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

The heat-conducting surface of the semiconductor refrigeration sheet faces the outside of the cooling seat. Heat dissipation fins are fixed on the heat-conducting surface of the semiconductor refrigeration sheet.

[0022] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0023] 1. Through the innovative design of the buffer unit, the protection performance and service life of the mold are significantly improved. During the extrusion molding process of the aluminum rod, the buffer unit effectively absorbs the impact force before the aluminum rod contacts the upper mold through the chain reaction of several buffer plates, annular plates, connecting rods and annular sliding plates. This design not only reduces the force generated when the aluminum rod directly collides with the upper mold, playing a key protective role for the upper mold, but also further enhances the buffer effect through the oil damping effect;

[0024] 2. By setting the sliding component and the pushing component, it is ensured that when the buffer plate moves to the position facing the upper die sinking groove, it can move synchronously and automatically in the direction away from the center of the annular plate, so as to separate from the aluminum rod, avoiding the obstruction of the buffer plate to the aluminum rod entering the upper die shunt hole. This design not only ensures the smooth feeding of the aluminum rod, but also ensures the continuous buffering effect of the buffer unit before the aluminum rod contacts the upper die, effectively reducing the impact force and protecting the upper die. Through the precise cooperation of the sliding component and the pushing component, and the linkage effect of the movable rod, the fixed block and the clamping block, the automatic separation between the buffer plate and the aluminum rod is realized;

[0025] 3. The ball can significantly reduce the friction force generated between the aluminum rod and the buffer plate. This characteristic ensures that when the buffer plate moves in the direction away from the center of the annular plate under the push of the aluminum rod, the ball can roll smoothly under the action of the friction force, thereby ensuring that the buffer plate can be separated from the aluminum rod smoothly and stably;

[0026] 4. The refrigerant circulating in the outer layer tube performs liquid cooling and temperature reduction on the inside of the cooling cylinder, directly and efficiently taking away the heat of the aluminum profile. At the same time, the refrigerant in the inner layer tube cools the gas flowing in the tube. These cooled gases are then re-injected into the cooling cylinder through multiple air jet ports to form an air cooling effect, further enhancing the temperature reduction efficiency inside the cooling cylinder. The combination of liquid cooling and air cooling not only ensures that a stable low-temperature environment is maintained inside the cooling cylinder, but also improves the temperature reduction and curing effect of the aluminum profile, avoiding deformation or cracking of the formed aluminum profile;

[0027] 5. The operation of the pumping component is directly powered by the movement of the aluminum profile, without relying on an external liquid pump, reducing the investment in additional equipment and lowering the operating cost of the device;

[0028] 6. The heat preservation curtain arranged in the discharge port and the ingenious layout of the air injection pipe together constitute an efficient mechanism to prevent cold air from escaping. The heat preservation curtain is composed of several curtain belts made of flexible materials. When the aluminum profile passes through the discharge port, only the corresponding curtain belt is pushed, and the remaining curtain belts keep blocking the discharge port. This design significantly reduces the loss of cold air inside the cooling cylinder. At the same time, the air injection pipe is arranged facing the discharge port, and the air injection direction is from the discharge port to the inside of the cooling cylinder. Such a layout further hinders the escape of cold air through the discharge port, effectively maintaining the low-temperature environment inside the cooling cylinder. This design improves the cooling efficiency and ensures the cooling and curing quality of the aluminum profile;

[0029] 7. When the refrigerant flows through the cooling seat, the semiconductor refrigeration sheet can effectively further cool down the refrigerant, ensuring that the circulating refrigerant always maintains a sufficiently low temperature, which is crucial for maintaining the low-temperature environment inside the cooling cylinder. At the same time, the heat-conducting surface of the semiconductor refrigeration sheet extends to the outside of the cooling seat, facilitating heat dissipation and further enhancing the refrigeration effect.

[0046] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0047] Refer to Figures 1 - 15 , a stainless steel mold for aluminum profile extrusion molding, including an upper die 1, a lower die 2, a buffer unit and a cooling unit. A shunt hole 11 is opened on the upper die 1, a welding chamber 22 is opened at one end of the lower die 2, and a die outlet 23 is opened at the other end. A number of sunk grooves 511 are opened on the side surface of the upper die 1;

[0048] The buffer unit is arranged on the upper die 1. The buffer unit is composed of a buffer assembly, a fixed frame 52, a number of sliding assemblies and a number of pushing assemblies. The buffer assembly includes a buffer plate 42 and a number of blocking structures. The number of blocking structures is circumferentially and arrayedly distributed on the buffer plate 42. The fixed frame 52 is fixed on the upper die 1 through a number of fixed rods 51. A number of avoidance openings 510 are opened on the fixed frame 52. The number of avoidance openings 510 are respectively arranged opposite to a number of sunk grooves 511. The number of sliding assemblies is circumferentially and arrayedly distributed on the inner ring of the fixed frame 52. The number of blocking structures are respectively arranged opposite to a number of sliding structures. The number of pushing assemblies are respectively arranged on a number of sliding assemblies;

[0049] The buffer assembly further includes a buffer box 31 and an annular sliding plate 32. The buffer box 31 is fixed on the outer peripheral surface of the upper die 1. The buffer box 31 is of an annular structure and stores hydraulic oil inside. A plurality of holes are provided on the side surface of the buffer box 31. The annular sliding plate 32 is slidably arranged inside the buffer box 31. The annular sliding plate 32 is immersed in the hydraulic oil. A plurality of through holes 33 are provided on the annular sliding plate 32. The annular sliding plate 32 and the inner surface of the buffer box 31 are connected by a buffer spring 34. The annular sliding plate 32 and the annular plate 36 are connected by a plurality of connecting rods 35. The plurality of connecting rods 35 respectively pass through the plurality of holes, and the connecting rods 35 are hermetically and slidably connected in the holes. The blocking structure includes a first limiting frame 41, a buffer plate 42 and a tension spring 46. The first limiting frame 41 is fixed on the side surface of the annular plate 36. The buffer plate 42 is slidably assembled on the first limiting frame 41. An installation opening 43 is provided at one end of the buffer plate 42 away from the tension spring 46. An installation seat 44 is fixed in the installation opening 43. A rollable ball 45 is arranged on the installation seat 44. The design of the ball 45 can reduce the friction force generated between the aluminum rod and the buffer plate 42. When the buffer plate 42 moves towards a position away from the center of the annular plate 36, the ball 45 will roll under the action of the friction force. This design ensures that the buffer plate 42 can still be smoothly separated from the aluminum rod under the pushing action of the aluminum rod. One end of the tension spring 46 is connected to the first limiting frame 41, and the other end is connected to the end position of the buffer plate 42. The tension spring 46 is used for the automatic reset of the buffer plate 42;

[0050] When the stainless steel mold for extruding aluminum profiles proposed by the present invention is in use, in the initial state, the annular plate 36 is located away from the upper die 1, and several buffer plates 42 are all located near the center of the annular plate 36. When extruding and forming the aluminum rod, the aluminum rod feeds toward the upper die 1 under the action of the feeding module. Before the aluminum rod contacts the upper die 1, the aluminum rod will first contact several balls 45 on several buffer plates 42, and push several buffer plates 42 to move through several balls 45. When several buffer plates 42 move, they can drive the annular plate 36 to move, so that the annular plate 36 moves toward the direction close to the buffer box 31. When the annular plate 36 moves, it can drive the annular sliding plate 32 to move through several connecting rods 35, so that the annular sliding plate 32 moves inside the buffer box 31. When the annular sliding plate 32 moves, it will squeeze the buffer spring 34. In this process, the buffer spring 34 will provide a buffering effect on the movement of the annular sliding plate 32, and this buffering effect is transmitted to the aluminum rod through several connecting rods 35, the annular plate 36 and several buffer plates 42. The purpose is to reduce the impact force generated when the aluminum rod contacts the upper die 1 and protect the upper die 1. In addition, the buffer box 31 stores oil, the annular sliding plate 32 is immersed in the oil, and several through holes 33 are formed on the annular sliding plate 32. When the annular sliding plate 32 moves, the oil will pass through several through holes 33. This design can provide a damping effect on the movement of the annular sliding plate 32, thereby further improving the buffering effect of the buffer unit on the aluminum rod. Through the design of the buffer unit, before the aluminum rod contacts the upper die 1, through the chain reaction of several buffer plates 42, the annular plate 36, the connecting rods 35 and the annular sliding plate 32, the impact force is effectively absorbed. This buffering process significantly reduces the force generated when the aluminum rod directly collides with the upper die 1, plays an important role in protecting the upper die 1, and prolongs the service life of the mold;

[0051] The sliding structure includes a second limiting frame 53, a sliding plate 54, a through hole 55, a movable rod 56, a fixing block 57 and a clamping block 59. The second limiting frame 53 is fixed on the inner ring of the fixing frame 52. The sliding plate 54 is slidably assembled on the second limiting frame 53. Limiting ridges are fixed at both ends of the sliding plate 54, and the two limiting ridges provide limitation for the sliding plate 54 to prevent the sliding plate 54 from falling off the second limiting frame 53. The through hole 55 is formed in the sliding plate 54. The movable rod 56 is slidably arranged in the through hole 55. The fixing block 57 is fixed at one end of the movable rod 56 away from the sliding plate 54, and a clamping groove 58 is formed in the side surface of the fixing block 57. The clamping block 59 is fixed at one end of the buffer plate 42 close to the fixing frame 52. The clamping block 59 is arranged opposite to the clamping groove 58, and the cross sections of the clamping block 59 and the clamping groove 58 are both of T-shaped structures. The pushing assembly includes a fixing frame 61, an outer cylinder 62, a top rod 63 and a connecting block 65. The fixing frame 61 is fixed on the side surface of the sliding plate 54, and the fixing frame 61 is of an L-shaped structure. The outer cylinder 62 is fixed at one end of the fixing frame 61 away from the sliding plate 54. One end of the outer cylinder 62 is open. The top rod 63 is movably inserted into the outer cylinder 62. The top rod 63 and the outer cylinder 62 are connected by a boosting spring 64. The connecting block 65 is fixed on the movable rod 56. One end of the top rod 63 extends to the outside of the outer cylinder 62 and is fixedly connected to the connecting block 65;

[0052] When the buffer plate 42 moves into the facing sinking groove 511, the end position of the aluminum rod will contact the upper die 1. To prevent the buffer plate 42 from obstructing the aluminum rod from being pressed into several shunt holes 11 in the upper die 1, the present invention designs an automatic displacement mechanism for the buffer plate 42. Specifically, when the buffer plate 42 moves, the clamping block 59 thereon moves accordingly. During the process of the buffer plate 42 moving following the feeding aluminum rod, the clamping block 59 will move into the card slot 58 and drive the fixed block 57 to move. When the fixed block 57 moves, it will drive the movable rod 56 to move. In the initial state, the through hole 55 on the sliding plate 54 and the avoidance hole 510 on the fixed frame 52 are in a staggered state. At this time, one end of the movable rod 56 extends into the through hole 55 and abuts against the fixed frame 52. Therefore, when the movable rod 56 moves, it can drive the sliding plate 54 to move. When the buffer plate 42 moves into the facing sinking groove 511, the through hole 55 on the sliding plate 54 and the avoidance hole 510 on the fixed frame 52 happen to be aligned with each other. At this time, the movable rod 56 can slide into the avoidance hole 510. In this case, the pushing assembly plays a role. The pressurizing spring 64 in the pushing assembly makes the ejector rod 63 always have a tendency to push the connecting block 65. Under the combined action of the pressurizing spring 64 and the ejector rod 63, the movable rod 56 is always in a state of pressing tightly against the fixed frame 52. When the through hole 55 on the sliding plate 54 and the avoidance hole 510 on the fixed frame 52 are aligned, the ejector rod 63 can push the movable rod 56 to move through the connecting block 65, so that the movable rod 56 is inserted into the avoidance hole 510. When the movable rod 56 moves, it can drive the buffer plate 42 to move through the fixed block 57 and the clamping block 59, so that the buffer plate 42 and the aluminum rod are separated from each other. Based on the above process, under the combined action of the sliding assembly and the pushing assembly, when the buffer plate 42 moves into the facing sinking groove 511, several buffer plates 42 can synchronously move in the direction away from the center position of the annular plate 36 and separate from the aluminum rod. This design can prevent the buffer plate 42 from obstructing the continuous feeding of the aluminum rod and ensure the smooth feeding of the aluminum rod. It is worth noting that the buffering effect provided by several buffer plates 42 to the aluminum rod lasts until the aluminum rod contacts the upper die 1, so as to ensure the buffering effect of the buffer unit on the aluminum rod;

[0053] The cooling unit is composed of a cooling cylinder 71, a cooling assembly, a driving assembly, two pumping assemblies and a temperature reduction assembly. One end of the cooling cylinder 71 is open, and the other end is closed. The open end of the cooling cylinder 71 is fixed on the side of the lower die 2.

[0054] The stainless steel mold for extruding aluminum profiles proposed by the present invention also has the function of cooling and curing the extruded aluminum profiles. Through the design of the cooling unit, the extruded aluminum profiles can be quickly cured and shaped. Specifically, after the aluminum profiles are extruded through the die outlet 23, they will move into the interior of the cooling cylinder 71 and finally move out through the discharge outlet 72 on the cooling cylinder 71. Before processing, the staff can adjust the position of the wheel frame 81 according to the size of the aluminum profiles so that the extruded aluminum profiles just come into contact with the rollers 83. The adjustment of the wheel frame 81 is achieved by rotating the adjustment screw 84, which will not be elaborated here. After adjusting the positions of the wheel frame 81 and the rollers 83, the moving aluminum profiles will drive the rollers 83 to rotate under the action of friction. When the rollers 83 rotate, they drive the wheel shafts 82 to rotate. When the wheel shafts 82 rotate, they will drive the two pumping components to operate. Further, anti-slip patterns can be set on the surface of the rollers 83 to increase the friction between them and the aluminum profiles, so as to facilitate the aluminum profiles to drive the rollers 83 to rotate;

[0055] The cooling component includes an outer layer pipe 74, an inner layer pipe 75 and a jet pipe 76. The outer layer pipe 74 is fixed inside the cooling cylinder 71, and the inner layer pipe 75 is fixed inside the outer layer pipe 74. A liquid flow area is formed between the outer layer pipe 74 and the inner layer pipe 75. One end of the inner layer pipe 75 extends to the outside of the outer layer pipe 74. The jet pipe 76 is fixed inside the cooling cylinder 71 and is arranged facing the discharge outlet 72. A number of jet openings 77 are provided on the jet pipe 76. One end of the inner layer pipe 75 located outside the outer layer pipe 74 is connected to the jet pipe 76 through a hose. The liquid flow area, the pumping component for pumping liquid and the cooling component together form a liquid flow path, and the inner layer pipe 75, the pumping component for pumping gas and the jet pipe 76 together form a gas flow path;

[0056] The driving assembly includes a wheel frame 81, a wheel axle 82, a roller 83, an adjusting screw 84 and two guide rods 85. The wheel frame 81 is arranged inside the cooling cylinder 71. The wheel axle 82 is rotatably assembled on the wheel frame 81. The roller 83 is fixedly sleeved on the wheel axle 82. The adjusting screw 84 passes through the cooling cylinder 71 and is threadedly connected to the cooling cylinder 71. One end of the adjusting screw 84 located inside the cooling cylinder 71 is rotatably installed on the wheel frame 81. Both of the two guide rods 85 pass through the cooling cylinder 71 and are slidably connected to the cooling cylinder 71. One end of each of the two guide rods 85 located inside the cooling cylinder 71 is fixed on the wheel frame 81. A hexagonal nut is fixed to the end of the adjusting screw 84 located outside the cooling cylinder 71. The pumping assembly includes an installation cylinder 91, a rotating block 92, a moving block 93 and an elastic expansion bladder 96. The installation cylinder 91 is fixed to the wheel frame 81 through a bracket. The rotating block 92 and the moving block 93 are both arranged inside the installation cylinder 91. The rotating block 92 and the moving block 93 together form a cylindrical structure. The rotating block 92 and the moving block 93 are of the same size. Bevels are provided at the opposite ends of the rotating block 92 and the moving block 93. The rotating block 92 is rotatably assembled inside the installation cylinder 91. The moving block 93 is slidably assembled inside the installation cylinder 91. The rotating block 92 is fixedly connected to the end of the wheel axle 82. A limiting block 95 is fixed to the moving block 93. A limiting groove 94 is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the installation cylinder 91. The limiting block 95 is slidably arranged in the limiting groove 94. One end of the elastic expansion bladder 96 is connected to the inner surface of the installation cylinder 91, and the other end is connected to the moving block 93. Two installation pipes 97 are connected to the elastic expansion bladder 96. One-way valves 98 are installed on both of the two installation pipes 97. The current-limiting directions of the two one-way valves 98 are opposite;

[0057] For two pumping components, one is used to pump liquid and the other is used to pump gas. When the two pumping components operate under the action of the axle 82, the cooling unit plays a role in cooling the aluminum profile. First, the pipeline connection method in the cooling unit is introduced. For the pumping component that pumps liquid, one end of an installation pipe 97 away from the elastic expansion bladder 96 is connected to the cooling seat 101, and the other end of the installation pipe 97 away from the elastic expansion bladder 96 is connected to the liquid circulation area between the outer layer pipe 74 and the inner layer pipe 75. This liquid circulation area is also connected to the cooling seat 101 through a return pipe. For the pumping component that pumps gas, one end of an installation pipe 97 away from the elastic expansion bladder 96 is connected to the internal space of the cooling cylinder 71, and the other end of the installation pipe 97 away from the elastic expansion bladder 96 is connected to one end of the inner layer pipe 75. The working principle of the pumping component is that when the axle 82 rotates, it drives the rotating block 92 to rotate. The rotating block 92 and the moving block 93 together form a cylindrical structure. The rotating block 92 and the moving block 93 are of the same size, and inclined surfaces are provided at the opposite ends of the rotating block 92 and the moving block 93. During the rotation of the rotating block 92, the inclined surface of the rotating block 92 continuously presses against the inclined surface of the moving block 93. The moving block 93 is connected to the installation cylinder 91 through a limiting groove 94 and a limiting block 95, which enables the moving block 93 to only move linearly inside the installation cylinder 91. Therefore, with the rotation of the rotating block 92 and the self-elastic force of the elastic expansion bladder 96, the moving block 93 will move back and forth inside the installation cylinder 91, which causes the elastic expansion bladder 96 to continuously perform squeezing and restoring actions. Two installation pipes 97 are connected to the elastic expansion bladder 96, and one-way valves 98 are installed on both installation pipes 97, and the flow-limiting directions of the two one-way valves 98 are opposite. Specifically, one one-way valve 98 restricts the gas or liquid to only enter the elastic expansion bladder 96, and the other one-way valve 98 restricts the gas or liquid to only flow out of the elastic expansion bladder 96. When the elastic expansion bladder 96 is squeezed, the gas or liquid inside the elastic expansion bladder 96 will be pressed out. When the elastic expansion bladder 96 restores, the elastic expansion bladder 96 will perform an air intake or liquid intake action again. Based on the above process, for the pumping component that pumps liquid, during its operation, it can continuously extract the refrigerant in the cooling seat 101 and pump the refrigerant into the liquid circulation area between the outer layer pipe 74 and the inner layer pipe 75, so that the refrigerant flows in the liquid circulation area. The refrigerant finally returns to the cooling seat 101 through the return pipe, realizing the circulating flow of the refrigerant. For the pumping component that pumps gas, during its operation, it can continuously extract the air in the cooling cylinder 71 and pump the gas into the inner layer pipe 75. The gas will finally enter the jet pipe 76 through a hose and be ejected through a number of jet ports 77;

[0058] During the process of refrigerant circulation, the internal environment of the cooling cylinder 71 can be cooled by liquid through the outer tube 74, thereby cooling the aluminum profile moving inside the cooling cylinder 71. At the same time, the circulating refrigerant can also cool the gas flowing inside the inner tube 75 through the inner tube 75. The cooled gas is finally sprayed back into the cooling cylinder 71 through a plurality of jet ports 77 to achieve air cooling of the internal environment of the cooling cylinder 71. The combination of liquid cooling and air cooling can effectively maintain the low-temperature environment inside the cooling cylinder 71, thereby ensuring the cooling and solidification effect of the aluminum profile. It should be noted that a heat preservation curtain 73 is provided in the discharge port 72. The heat preservation curtain 73 is composed of a plurality of curtain belts made of flexible materials. When the aluminum profile passes through the discharge port 72, it will push the corresponding curtain belt, while the remaining curtain belts are still in the state of blocking the discharge port 72. Through the design of the heat preservation curtain 73, the dissipation of cold air inside the cooling cylinder 71 can be greatly reduced. In addition, the jet pipe 76 is arranged opposite to the discharge port 72, and the jet direction of the jet port 77 is from the discharge port 72 to the inside of the cooling cylinder 71. This design can also prevent cold air from escaping through the discharge port 72, which is beneficial to maintaining the low-temperature environment inside the cooling cylinder 71. It is worth mentioning that the operation of the two pumping components is powered by the movement of the aluminum profile, without an external liquid pump, which reduces the operation cost of the device;

[0059] The cooling component includes a cooling seat 101 and a semiconductor refrigeration sheet 102. The cooling seat 101 is fixed on the outer peripheral surface of the cooling cylinder 71. The inside of the cooling seat 101 is hollow. An assembly port is opened on the top surface of the cooling seat 101, and the assembly port is communicated with the inside of the cooling seat 101. The semiconductor refrigeration sheet 102 is installed in the assembly port. The refrigerating surface of the semiconductor refrigeration sheet 102 extends into the inside of the cooling seat 101, and the heat conducting surface of the semiconductor refrigeration sheet 102 faces the outside of the cooling seat 101. Heat dissipation fins are fixed on the heat conducting surface of the semiconductor refrigeration sheet 102. For the cooling seat 101, the semiconductor refrigeration sheet 102 is provided on it. When the refrigerant flows through the cooling seat 101, the semiconductor refrigeration sheet 102 cools and reduces the temperature of the refrigerant, so that the circulating refrigerant always has a low enough temperature. The heat conducting surface of the semiconductor refrigeration sheet 102 extends to the outside of the cooling seat 101 for heat dissipation. In addition, heat dissipation fins are also provided on the heat conducting surface of the semiconductor refrigeration sheet 102, and the design of the heat dissipation fins is more conducive to the rapid dissipation of heat from the heat conducting surface of the semiconductor refrigeration sheet 102.
