TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of hot galvanizing, and particularly relates to a cooling device for hot galvanizing. BACKGROUND
[0002] Hot galvanizing, also called hot dip zinc and hot dip galvanizing, is to immerse a steel piece after rust removal into molten zinc at about 500 DEG C, so that a zinc layer is attached to the surface of the steel member, thereby achieving the purpose of corrosion resistance. When the steel is taken out of the molten zinc bath, the temperature is relatively high, and needs to be cooled. Water cooling is a common cooling method, which can reduce the temperature of the steel, inhibit the adverse reaction of the newly formed coating with the atmosphere, and make the hot galvanizing product stabilize as soon as possible, thereby ensuring the product quality.
[0003] When the steel pipe is cooled by hot galvanizing, the steel pipe is lifted by lifting equipment and then immersed into the cooling pool. Since the length of the steel pipe is relatively long, the steel pipe cannot be kept in a horizontal state during lifting, so that one end of the steel pipe enters the cooling pool first, and the cooling of the steel pipe is uneven. In order to avoid splashing of the cooling water, the steel pipe is slowly immersed into the cooling water during the process of immersion into the cooling pool. The temperature difference between the lower side and the upper side of the steel pipe causes residual stress, thereby causing cracking of the galvanized layer.
