Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of aluminum processing equipment, and particularly relates to an aluminum cooling equipment. Background Art
[0002] With the continuous advancement of industrialization, aluminum, as a lightweight and high-strength metal material, has been widely used in fields such as construction, automobile manufacturing, and aerospace. Therefore, the aluminum processing industry has witnessed rapid development, posing higher requirements for the quality and production efficiency of aluminum. In the process of aluminum production, cooling is a crucial link. A large amount of heat is generated during processes such as melting, extrusion, and rolling of aluminum. If not cooled in time, it will not only affect the mechanical properties and microstructure of aluminum but may also cause damage to production equipment. Therefore, the cooling device plays an indispensable role in aluminum production.
[0003] The existing Chinese utility model patent with the publication number CN216014076U discloses an air-cooling control system for aluminum processing, which specifically includes an air-cooling device, a temperature detection unit, and a controller. The temperature detection unit includes an infrared temperature sensor arranged above the processing pipeline. The detection signal of the infrared temperature sensor is processed by a filtering conditioning circuit and a stabilization conditioning circuit in sequence and then sent into the controller. The infrared temperature sensor is used to directly collect the temperature on the surface of the aluminum, improving the intuitiveness of temperature collection. The filtering conditioning circuit and the stabilization conditioning circuit are used to process the output signal of the infrared temperature sensor, effectively ensuring the accuracy of temperature collection. After analyzing and processing the waveform of the collected signal by the controller, a real-time temperature curve of the aluminum surface is drawn. The controller controls the fan power according to the detected temperature curve, thereby realizing the automatic cooling process during the aluminum extrusion forming process.
[0004] However, in the above technical solution, the air-cooling technology dissipates heat through air flow, relying on the heat conduction and convection of air. Due to the unevenness of air flow, it is impossible to ensure that the temperature in the cooling environment is consistent, resulting in possible differences in the cooling rates of different parts of the aluminum, causing internal stress in the aluminum and affecting the product quality.

The cooling box 22 is provided with a feeding port 221. The cooling box 22 is fixedly connected to the support frame 21. The liquid cooling structure 23 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cooling box 22. The spraying structure 24 is fixedly connected to the top of the cooling box 22. A drain port 222 is arranged at the bottom of the cooling box 22. One end of the conveying mechanism 1 penetrates through the feeding port 221, and a blocking curtain 223 is arranged on the feeding port 221 to prevent the spraying water from overflowing. By providing the conveying mechanism 1, it is used to stably convey the aluminum material to be cooled; by providing the cooling device 2, the cooling device 2 includes a support frame 21, a cooling box 22, a liquid cooling structure 23 and a spraying structure 24. By providing the cooling box 22, a stable cooling area is provided for the cooling of the aluminum material; by providing the liquid cooling structure 23, it provides a stable cooling environment for the cooling box 22 by circulating the cooling liquid, ensures that the temperature inside the cooling box 22 is constant, effectively improves the cooling efficiency, ensures that the temperature of the aluminum material drops evenly during the cooling process, reduces the internal stress generated due to temperature differences, and improves the product quality; by providing the spraying structure 24, the spraying cooling of the aluminum material is realized, which can directly cool the surface of the aluminum material, cooperate with the liquid cooling structure 23, and improve the cooling speed and effect; by providing the drying device 3, it is used to dry the moisture on the aluminum material after spraying treatment, reduce the water stain residue on the surface of the aluminum material, and at the same time, it can also perform the final cooling of the aluminum material to improve the cooling quality of the aluminum material.
[0036] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it may further have the following additional technical features: The liquid cooling structure 23 includes a first liquid storage tank 231, a liquid inlet structure 232, a cooling plate 233, and a liquid outlet structure 234. A first liquid inlet pipe 2311 is provided on the first liquid storage tank 231 for introducing a coolant. A liquid outlet pipe 2312 and a liquid inlet pipe 2313 are provided on one side of the first liquid storage tank 231. The cooling plate 233 is disposed on both sides of the cooling tank 22 and fixedly connected to the cooling tank 22. One end of the liquid inlet structure 232 is fixedly connected to the liquid outlet pipe 2312, and the end of the liquid inlet structure 232 away from the liquid outlet pipe 2312 is fixedly connected to the cooling plate 233. One end of the liquid outlet structure 234 is fixedly connected to the cooling plate 233, and the end of the liquid outlet structure 234 away from the cooling plate 233 is fixedly connected to the liquid inlet pipe 2313. By circulating the coolant in the system, heat can be taken away from the cooling tank 22 more evenly. Compared with air cooling relying on air flow for heat dissipation, it can avoid temperature differences caused by uneven local air flow, thereby providing a more uniform and stable cooling environment for the cooling tank 22. In this embodiment, the cooling tank 22 is arranged in an inverted triangle, and two sets of the liquid inlet structure 232, the cooling plate 233, and the liquid outlet structure 234 are respectively provided. The two cooling plates 233 are respectively fixedly connected to two sides of the cooling tank 22. Specifically, the cooling plate 233 can be fixedly connected to the cooling tank 22 by screws.
[0037] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it may further have the following additional technical features: A cooling pipe 2331 is arranged inside the cooling plate 233. The cooling pipe 2331 is arranged in a spiral shape, which greatly increases the flow path length of the coolant inside the cooling plate 233, enables the coolant to have a more sufficient contact time with the cooling plate 233 and the surrounding cooling tank 22 environment, and thus improves the heat exchange efficiency. A number of cooling protrusions 2332 are evenly and equidistantly arranged on the cooling pipe 2331, and each cooling protrusion 2332 communicates with the cooling pipe 2331, further increasing the heat exchange area and increasing the contact points between the coolant and the inside of the cooling plate 233, so that heat can be transferred from the cooling tank 22 to the coolant more quickly. One end of the cooling pipe 2331 is connected to the liquid inlet structure 232, and the end of the cooling pipe 2331 away from the liquid inlet structure 232 is connected to the liquid outlet structure 234. Specifically, in this embodiment, the spiral pipe design will cause the coolant to generate turbulence during the flow process. Turbulence can destroy the thermal boundary layer formed by the coolant in the pipe, reduce the thermal resistance, and make the heat transfer more efficient. The cooling protrusions 2332 will also cause disturbances to the flow of the coolant, further enhancing the turbulence effect and improving the heat exchange capacity of the coolant, ensuring that the heat in the cooling tank 22 can be taken away in time and maintaining the constancy of the internal temperature of the cooling tank 22.
[0038] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it may also have the following additional technical features: the liquid inlet structure 232 includes a liquid pump 2321, a first liquid flow pipe 2322, a first filter cartridge 2323 and a second liquid flow pipe 2324, the liquid pump 2321 is connected to the liquid outlet pipe 2312, the water outlet of the liquid pump 2321 is connected to one end of the first liquid flow pipe 2322, the end of the first liquid flow pipe 2322 away from the liquid pump 2321 is connected to the bottom of the first filter cartridge 2323, one end of the second liquid flow pipe 2324 is connected to the top of the first filter cartridge 2323, the end of the second liquid flow pipe 2324 away from the first filter cartridge 2323 is connected to the cooling pipe 2331, and a metal mesh 2325 is arranged in the first filter cartridge 2323 to block large pieces of floating sediment. During the operation of the liquid cooling system, the coolant may carry some impurities, such as metal particles, dust, etc. If these impurities enter the cooling pipe 2331, they may block the pipeline, affect the flow of the coolant and the heat exchange effect, and even damage the cooling plate 233 and other equipment. The metal mesh 2325 can intercept these large impurities in the first filter cartridge 2323 to prevent the impurities from floating up and entering the second liquid flow pipe 2324, ensuring that the coolant entering the cooling pipe 2331 is relatively clean. In the liquid cooling structure 23, the coolant needs to circulate continuously between the liquid storage tank, the liquid inlet structure 232, the cooling plate 233 and the liquid outlet structure 234 to take away the heat generated by the cooling box 22. The liquid pump 2321 generates a pressure difference to extract the coolant from the liquid outlet pipe 2312, promote it to circulate in the entire system, and ensure the continuous liquid cooling process. After the coolant flows out of the liquid pump 2321, it passes through the first liquid flow pipe 2322, the first filter cartridge 2323 and the second liquid flow pipe 2324 in sequence, and finally enters the cooling pipe 2331.
[0039] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it may further have the following additional technical features: The liquid outlet structure 234 includes a third liquid flow pipe 2341, a second filter cartridge 2342, and a fourth liquid flow pipe 2343. The third liquid flow pipe 2341, the second filter cartridge 2342, and the fourth liquid flow pipe 2343 are connected in sequence. One end of the third liquid flow pipe 2341 away from the second filter cartridge 2342 is connected to the cooling pipe 2331, and one end of the fourth liquid flow pipe 2343 away from the second filter cartridge 2342 is connected to the liquid inlet pipe 2313. An activated carbon layer 2344 is provided inside the second filter cartridge 2342 for adsorbing odors. The third liquid flow pipe 2341, the second filter cartridge 2342, and the fourth liquid flow pipe 2343 are connected in sequence to form a complete liquid outlet path. After the coolant flows out from the cooling plate 233, it enters the second filter cartridge 2342 through the third liquid flow pipe 2341, and then returns to the liquid inlet pipe 2313 through the fourth liquid flow pipe 2343, and finally returns to the liquid storage tank, realizing the circulating flow of the coolant, ensuring the smooth circulation of the coolant in the system, avoiding problems such as coolant accumulation or difficult backflow caused by unsmooth paths, and ensuring the continuous and stable operation of the liquid cooling system. The activated carbon layer 2344 provided inside the second filter cartridge 2342 has a strong adsorption capacity and can adsorb odor substances in the coolant. During the operation of the liquid cooling system, the coolant may generate odors due to contact with various components, heat decomposition, etc. The activated carbon layer 2344 can effectively remove these odors, further purify the coolant, and improve the quality of the coolant.
[0040] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it may further have the following additional technical features: The spraying structure 24 includes a second liquid storage tank 241, a water pump 242, a connecting pipe 243, and a spray head 244. A second liquid inlet pipe 2411 is provided on the second liquid storage tank 241 for introducing the spraying liquid. One side of the bottom of the second liquid storage tank 241 is provided with a drain pipe 2412. The water pump 242 is connected to the drain pipe 2412. The water outlet of the water pump 242 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting pipe 243, and one end of the connecting pipe 243 away from the water pump 242 is fixedly connected to the spray head 244. The spray head 244 is arranged on the top of the cooling tank 22 and is fixedly connected to the cooling tank 22. The water pump 242 pumps out the spraying liquid at the bottom of the liquid storage tank, transports it through the connecting pipe 243 to the spray head 244, and the spray head 244 then evenly sprays the spraying liquid in the cooling tank 22. In this embodiment, by adjusting the power of the water pump 242 and the structure of the spray head 244, the flow rate, pressure, and spraying range of the spraying liquid can be flexibly adjusted. A drain port 222 is provided at the bottom of the cooling tank 22 for draining the spraying liquid. Two standby water pumps 242 are also provided, so that they can be replaced in time if the water pump 242 is damaged.
[0041] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it may further have the following additional technical features: The spray head 244 includes a spray frame 2441, a first jet block 2442, and a second jet block 2443. A connecting pipe 2444 is provided on the spray frame 2441. One end of the connecting pipe 243 away from the water pump 242 is connected to the connecting pipe 2444. The first jet block 2442 and the second jet block 2443 are respectively nested inside the spray frame 2441. The first jet block 2442 is arranged at the center of the spray frame 2441. A plurality of second jet blocks 2443 are provided and are circumferentially arranged around the first jet block 2442 at equal intervals. A plurality of first jet openings 24421 are provided on the first jet block 2442, and a plurality of second jet openings 24431 are provided on the second jet block 2443. The aperture of each first jet opening 24421 is larger than the aperture of each second jet opening 24431. The first jet block 2442 is arranged at the center of the spray frame 2441, and the second jet blocks 2443 are circumferentially arranged around it at equal intervals, forming a hierarchical spraying structure, which can enable the coolant to be sprayed onto the surface of the object to be cooled in different ways and angles. The first jet openings 24421 with larger apertures on the first jet block 2442 can spray a larger flow rate of coolant to perform preliminary large-area cooling on the object surface; while the second jet openings 24431 with smaller apertures on the second jet block 2443 can spray a finer and faster coolant to further deeply cool the object surface, strengthen the heat exchange effect, and improve the cooling efficiency. The second jet blocks 2443 are circumferentially arranged around the first jet block 2442 at equal intervals, which can ensure the uniform distribution of the coolant around the object and expand the coverage range of the spraying. Regardless of the shape of the aluminum material, it can ensure that sufficient cooling can be obtained in all directions, avoid the situation of insufficient local cooling, and improve the uniformity and comprehensiveness of cooling. In this embodiment, the multiple jet openings on the first jet block 2442 and the second jet block 2443 work simultaneously and cooperate with each other to form an all-round spraying network. This multi-jet opening collaborative operation method can increase the contact area between the coolant and the object surface, improve the cooling effect, and further expand the cooling range at the same time.
[0042] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it may further have the following additional technical features: The conveying mechanism 1 includes a fixed frame 11, a conveying frame 12, a driving motor 13 and a plurality of conveying rollers 14. The conveying frame 12 is fixedly connected to the fixed frame 11. One end of the conveying frame 12 penetrates through the feeding port 221. Each conveying roller 14 is rotatably connected to the conveying frame 12. The output end of the driving motor 13 is fixedly connected to one of the conveying rollers 14. The conveying rollers 14 are meshed and driven with each other through gears. The conveying roller 14 arranged outside the cooling box 22 is covered with absorbent soft hairs 141. When the material comes out of the cooling box 22, its surface may carry some coolant or moisture. The absorbent soft hairs 141 can absorb these liquids, avoiding the dripping phenomenon of the material during subsequent processing or storage. At the same time, during the process of absorbing moisture, the absorbent soft hairs 141 can also slightly wipe the surface of the material, removing some impurities or attachments, further improving the cleanliness of the material surface. In this embodiment, one end of the conveying frame 12 penetrates through the feeding port 221, enabling the material to directly enter the cooling box 22 from the conveying mechanism 1, realizing the seamless connection of material transmission and cooling. In other embodiments, the setting of the plurality of conveying rollers 14 can be flexibly adjusted according to the length, weight and transmission speed requirements of the actual material. For longer materials, the number of conveying rollers 14 can be increased to provide more uniform support and transmission force; for heavier materials, the power of the driving motor 13 and the spacing between the conveying rollers 14 can be appropriately adjusted to ensure the smooth transmission of the material.
[0043] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it may further have the following additional technical features: The air-drying device 3 includes a housing 31 and an air outlet structure 32. A plurality of air outlet structures 32 are provided and evenly arranged at equal intervals inside the housing 31. The air outlet structure 32 includes a mounting seat 321, a hub 322 and fan blades 323. A starting motor is provided on the mounting seat 321. A plurality of fan blades 323 are provided and evenly arranged at equal intervals on the hub 322. The hub 322 is installed on the output shaft of the starting motor. The hub 322 is installed on the output shaft of the starting motor, which can accurately transmit the power of the starting motor to the fan blades 323, ensuring the normal rotation of the fan blades 323. When multiple air outlet structures 32 work simultaneously, a large amount of air flow can be generated. These air flows blow towards the aluminum material from different positions at the same time, greatly increasing the contact area between the aluminum material and the air flow, accelerating the evaporation speed of the moisture on the surface of the aluminum material, thus significantly improving the air-drying efficiency, shortening the air-drying time, and at the same time also performing further cooling treatment on the aluminum material. In other embodiments, the number and layout of the air outlet structures 32 can be flexibly adjusted according to different air-drying requirements and material characteristics.
[0044] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it may further have the following additional technical features: The fan blade 323 includes a leading edge 3231 and a trailing edge 3232 corresponding to the leading edge 3231. A plurality of air-cutting blocks 3233 are provided on the leading edge 3231, which can cut the passing air flow like a blade when the fan blade 323 rotates, enabling the originally relatively stable air flow to generate more turbulence and eddy currents, increasing the degree of air flow chaos and energy dispersion. The connection between adjacent air-cutting blocks 3233 forms a convex edge 3234, which enables the air flow to be more fully dispersed, thereby improving the kinetic energy and diffusion ability of the air flow. The convex edge 3234 extends along the leading edge 3231 towards the trailing edge 3232 on the leeward side of the fan blade 323 to form a groove 3235, which can guide the air flow to accelerate in the groove 3235. According to the principle of fluid mechanics, when the air flow passes through the narrow groove 3235, the flow rate will increase and the pressure will decrease, forming a phenomenon similar to the Venturi effect. Therefore, this structure can effectively increase the speed of the air flow, make the air flow blowing towards the material stronger, and accelerate the evaporation rate of the moisture on the surface of the material.
[0045] Specifically, in this embodiment, a position-correcting structure 4 is provided at one end of the conveying mechanism 1 away from the cooling box 22 for correcting the position of the aluminum material. The position-correcting structure 4 includes a correcting plate 41 and a connecting plate 42. The correcting plate 41 is connected to the connecting plate 42, and the correcting plate 41 is gradually enlarged in the direction away from the connecting plate 42. The connecting plate 42 is fixedly connected to the conveying frame 12. When the aluminum material is offset during the conveying process, the aluminum material entering the range of the correcting plate 41 will be guided by the gradually enlarged plate surface and return to the correct conveying position. For example, if the aluminum material deviates to one side due to vibration or collision during the conveying process, the correcting plate 41 can "push" it back to the central position to ensure that the aluminum material enters the subsequent process in the correct posture. Regardless of the direction in which the aluminum material deviates, the gradually enlarged correcting plate 41 can provide sufficient space and guiding effect, and can effectively correct different degrees of deviation. This comprehensive correcting ability ensures the accuracy of the position of the aluminum material and improves the accuracy of subsequent processing.
[0046] The working principle of the aluminum cooling equipment in this embodiment is as follows: The aluminum to be cooled is stably conveyed by the conveying mechanism 1. One end of the conveying mechanism 1 penetrates through the feed port 221 of the cooling box 22, and the blocking curtain 223 at the feed port 221 prevents the spray water from overflowing. After the aluminum enters the cooling box 22, the liquid cooling structure 23 provides a stable cooling environment for the cooling box 22 through circulating coolant. The spiral cooling pipe 2331 and the cooling protrusions 2332 in the cooling plate 233 enhance heat exchange to ensure a constant temperature inside the box. At the same time, the spraying structure 24 pumps the spraying liquid from the second liquid storage tank 241 through the water pump 242, transports it to the spray head 244 through the connecting pipe 243, and the spray head 244 evenly sprays it on the surface of the aluminum in a layered spraying manner to achieve direct cooling. The cooled aluminum discharges the spraying liquid from the drain port 222 at the bottom of the cooling box 22 and continues to be conveyed by the conveying mechanism 1. First, it passes through the absorbent soft hair 141, and then reaches the air drying device 3. The air drying device 3 generates a large amount of air flow through the air outlet structure 32 to accelerate the evaporation of the moisture on the surface of the aluminum, completing cooling and air drying to ensure the quality of the aluminum.
[0047] The structural design of the aluminum cooling equipment in this embodiment is reasonable and convenient to use. For other equipment with similar usage requirements, this structure can also be adopted. In this embodiment, the aluminum cooling equipment, through the combined cooperation of the liquid cooling structure 23 and the spraying structure 24, can ensure the cooling environment while quickly and evenly taking away the heat of the aluminum, improving the cooling efficiency and product quality.
