Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of low-oxygen copper processing technology, and more specifically to a cooling mechanism based on low-oxygen copper busbar forming. Background Technology

[0002] Low-oxygen copper is widely used in various industrial fields such as power, electronics, and communications due to its excellent electrical and thermal conductivity and processing performance. Extrusion molding is one of the core processing steps in the production of low-oxygen copper. After extrusion molding, low-oxygen copper needs to be cooled immediately to ensure its molding accuracy, mechanical properties, and subsequent processing quality. Currently, the industry commonly uses water bath cooling, which involves continuously passing the extruded low-oxygen copper through a water bath to achieve cooling.

[0003] During the cooling process of low-oxygen copper in a water tank, if the water tank is long, the conveying distance of the low-oxygen copper busbar within the tank increases accordingly. Since the copper busbar has just been extruded and has a certain weight, and is in a continuous moving state, to prevent it from sagging or shifting due to gravity in the middle of the tank and to ensure stable conveying and cooling, a support structure needs to be installed in the middle of the tank to provide auxiliary support. Currently, existing technologies commonly use support rollers as support components, supporting the copper busbar by contacting its surface. However, with this support method, when the low-oxygen copper busbar moves to the middle of the tank, its cooling process is not yet complete, and its surface is still in a high-temperature softened state. Using support rollers at this time results in a line contact between the support roller and the low-oxygen copper busbar. This line contact causes the support pressure to be highly concentrated on the contact line. Under the combined action of the support pressure and the friction generated by the movement of the copper busbar, it is very easy to press patterns, indentations, and other appearance defects onto the surface of the incompletely cooled and shaped copper busbar. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cooling mechanism based on low-oxygen copper busbar forming to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A cooling mechanism based on low-oxygen copper busbar molding includes a water tank body, on which two vertical plates are fixedly mounted, and multiple support members are arranged between the two vertical plates;

[0007] Each of the aforementioned support members alternately supports the copper busbar, and each support member moves along with the copper busbar during support;

[0008] The support member includes a support rod, and the contact surface between the support rod and the copper busbar is a plane;

[0009] Two square blocks are fixedly installed on the support rod, and two rectangular slots are provided on the vertical plate. The two square blocks correspond to the two rectangular slots respectively, and the square blocks are slidably installed in the rectangular slots.

[0010] Preferably, the vertical plate is rotatably provided with a plurality of rotating rods corresponding to the support rods, the rotating rods are provided with elongated grooves, and the support rods are fixedly provided with protrusions, the protrusions being slidably disposed within the elongated grooves.

[0011] Preferably, each of the rotating rods is fixedly provided with a first sprocket, and a first chain is provided between the first sprockets on adjacent rotating rods for transmission.

[0012] Preferably, it also includes two straightening elements that intermittently correct the horizontal deviation of the copper busbar;

[0013] The corrective component includes a sliding plate slidably disposed on a vertical plate, and a corrective rod rotatably disposed on the sliding plate.

[0014] Preferably, a rotating tube is rotatably mounted on the sliding plate, a sliding rod is slidably mounted on the rotating tube, a gear is fixedly mounted on the sliding rod, and the gear is rotatably mounted on the water tank body;

[0015] The two gears mesh and drive each other.

[0016] Preferably, a reciprocating threaded cylinder is fixedly mounted on one of the rotating rods, and a sliding plate located on that side is threadedly connected to the reciprocating threaded cylinder.

[0017] Preferably, a tail support roller is rotatably mounted on the main body of the water tank, a second sprocket is fixedly mounted on the tail support roller, a second sprocket is also fixedly mounted on one of the rotating rods, and a second chain is driven between the two second sprockets.

[0018] Preferably, it also includes a pressure roller, on which a pressure rod is rotatably mounted, and the pressure rod is slidably connected to the main body of the water tank.

[0019] Preferably, a spring is provided between the pressure rod and the water tank body, and the two ends of the spring are fixedly connected to the pressure rod and the water tank body, respectively.

[0020] In the above technical solution, the cooling mechanism based on low-oxygen copper busbar forming provided by the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] By setting multiple support rods, each with two square blocks positioned within two rectangular slots, the support rods are guided. When a square block on a support rod moves to the top edge of the rectangular slot, the support rod contacts and supports the copper busbar. This allows multiple support rods to alternately support the copper busbar, preventing prolonged local contact between the support point and the copper busbar, which could affect the cooling effect. It also avoids line contact at the support point, which could cause appearance defects in the uncooled copper busbar. Simultaneously, the directional blocks slide at the top edge of the rectangular slots, causing the support rods to move with the copper busbar, preventing friction and effectively improving the cooling effect of the copper busbar.

[0032] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this disclosure clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this disclosure. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the described embodiments of this disclosure without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0033] Please refer to 1-5. A cooling mechanism based on low-oxygen copper busbar forming includes a water tank body 1. Two vertical plates 2 are fixedly installed on the water tank body 1, and multiple support members are arranged between the two vertical plates 2. Each support member alternately supports the copper busbar, and each support member moves with the copper busbar during support. Each support member includes a support rod 3, and the contact surface between the support rod 3 and the copper busbar is flat. Two square blocks 31 are fixedly installed on the support rod 3, and two rectangular slots 21 are provided on the vertical plates 2. The two square blocks 31 correspond to the two rectangular slots 21 respectively, and the square blocks 31 are slidably installed in the rectangular slots 21. During the copper busbar cooling process, the support members alternately support the copper busbar, avoiding prolonged contact between the support members and the support points of the copper busbar, which would lead to poor cooling effect at the support points. At the same time, the support rod 3 supports the copper busbar to avoid... To prevent line contact and improve the cooling effect of the copper busbar, when the square block 31 is located at the top edge of the corresponding rectangular groove 21, the corresponding support rod 3 supports the copper busbar. At this time, other support rods 3 are not in contact with the copper busbar. When the support rod 3 is separated from the copper busbar, the square blocks 31 on the other support rods 3 move to the top edge of the rectangular groove 21, so that the corresponding support rod 3 supports the copper busbar. In this way, multiple support rods 3 alternately support the copper busbar. After the support rod 3 is separated from the copper busbar, it can also fully contact the cooling water in the water tank body 1 for cooling, avoiding a large temperature difference between it and the copper busbar when supporting it again. The square block 31 slides on the top edge of the rectangular groove 21, synchronized with the movement of the copper busbar, avoiding friction between the support rod 3 and the support point of the copper busbar, effectively improving the cooling efficiency and quality of the copper busbar.

[0034] Specifically, the vertical plate 2 is rotatably equipped with multiple rotating rods 7 corresponding to the support rods 3. The rotating rods 7 are provided with long grooves 71, and the support rods 3 are fixedly provided with protrusions 32. The protrusions 32 are slidably disposed in the long grooves 71. When the rotating rods 7 rotate, the support rods 3 are moved by the cooperation of the long grooves 71 and the protrusions 32. Furthermore, the square block 31 and the rectangular groove 21 cooperate to control the movement path of the support rods 3, so that the support rods 3 support the copper busbars.

[0035] In a further embodiment of the present invention, each rotating rod 7 is fixedly provided with a first sprocket 6, and a first chain 61 is provided between the first sprockets 6 on adjacent rotating rods 7. Through the transmission of multiple first sprockets 6 and first chains 61, multiple rotating rods 7 are made to rotate synchronously. The synchronous rotation of the rotating rods 7 makes the moving speed of each support rod 3 the same, which can effectively enable each support rod 3 to complete the support of the copper busbar and the separation from the copper busbar, thereby improving the stability of the alternating support of each support rod 3.

[0036] Furthermore, it also includes two straightening components that intermittently correct the horizontal deviation of the copper busbar. The straightening components include sliding plates 4 slidably disposed on the vertical plate 2, and straightening rods 41 rotatably disposed on the sliding plates 4. The two sliding plates 4 slide relative to each other, so that the straightening rods 41 on both sides contact the sides of the copper busbar and correct it, so as to avoid excessive deviation of the copper busbar during the cooling process, which would affect the cooling effect of the copper busbar. After correction, the two sliding plates 4 slide in opposite directions and disengage from the copper busbar, so as to avoid the straightening rods 41 contacting the copper busbar for a long time, which would affect the cooling effect of the contact point.

[0037] Furthermore, a rotating tube 42 is rotatably mounted on the sliding plate 4, and a sliding rod 43 is slidably mounted on the rotating tube 42. A gear 44 is fixedly mounted on the sliding rod 43, and the gear 44 is rotatably mounted on the water tank body 1. The two gears 44 mesh and drive each other. When the sliding plate 4 slides, the rotating tube 42 and the sliding rod 43 drive the gear 44 to rotate, thereby driving the gear 44 on the other side to rotate. This achieves synchronous relative sliding of the two sliding plates 4. When the sliding plate 4 slides and drives the gear 44 to rotate, and when the gear 44 rotates and drives the sliding plate 4 to slide, the sliding rod 43 and the rotating tube 42 slide relative to each other while rotating.

[0038] In a further embodiment of the present invention, a reciprocating threaded cylinder 72 is fixedly mounted on one of the rotating rods 7. The sliding plate 4 on this side is threadedly connected to the reciprocating threaded cylinder 72. When multiple rotating rods 7 rotate simultaneously, causing multiple support rods 3 to alternately support the copper busbar, one of the rotating rods 7 drives the sliding plate 4 to slide through the reciprocating threaded cylinder 72. The sliding plate 4 drives the sliding plate 4 on the other side to slide through the transmission of the rotating tube 42, the sliding rod 43, and the gear 44, thereby realizing the relative sliding of the sliding plates 4. This allows the correction rods 41 on both sides to correct the offset of the copper busbar. After correction, the reciprocating threaded cylinder 72 drives the sliding plate 4 to slide in the opposite direction, thereby causing the correction rods 41 to disengage from the copper busbar and avoid prolonged contact with the copper busbar, which would affect the cooling effect of the copper busbar.

[0039] In the embodiment provided by the present invention, a tail support roller 5 is rotatably mounted on the water tank body 1, and a second sprocket 62 is fixedly mounted on the tail support roller 5. A second sprocket 62 is also fixedly mounted on one of the rotating rods 7. A second chain 63 is driven between the two second sprockets 62. The tail support roller 5 is located at the outlet of the water tank body 1. When the copper busbar comes into contact with it, the temperature has been cooled down. At this time, the copper busbar drives the roller 5 to rotate without affecting the cooling quality of the copper busbar. Furthermore, when the tail support roller 5 rotates, it drives one of the rotating rods 7 to rotate through the second sprocket 62 and the second chain 63. The rotating rods 7 rotate synchronously through the first sprocket 6 and the first chain 61, thus completing the alternating support of the copper busbar by the support rod 3.

[0040] Specifically, it also includes a pressure roller 51, on which a pressure rod 52 is rotatably mounted. The pressure rod 52 is slidably connected to the water tank body 1. A spring 53 is provided between the pressure rod 52 and the water tank body 1. The two ends of the spring 53 are fixedly connected to the pressure rod 52 and the water tank body 1, respectively. The copper busbar is located between the pressure roller 51 and the tail support roller 5. Under the action of the spring 53, the pressure roller 51 applies a certain pressure to the cooled copper busbar to ensure contact between the copper busbar and the tail support roller 5. During the movement of the copper busbar, the tail support roller 5 slides. Through the transmission between the sprocket and the chain, the copper busbar located in the middle of the water tank body 1 is alternately supported.

[0041] Working principle: During the cooling process of the copper busbar entering the main body 1 of the water tank, the traction movement of the copper busbar drives the support roller at the tail end to rotate. Through the transmission of the second sprocket 62 and the second chain 63, a rotating rod 7 is driven to rotate. Multiple rotating rods 7 rotate synchronously through the transmission of the first sprocket 6 and the first chain 61. During the rotation, the rotation of the rotating rod 7 drives the support rod 3 through the cooperation of the long groove 71 and the protrusion 32. Under the limiting action of the square block 31 and the rectangular groove 21, the support rod 3 moves along the path of the rectangular groove 21. When the square block 31 is located at the top edge of the corresponding rectangular groove 21, the support rod 3 supports the copper busbar. When the copper busbar moves, the support rod 3 also moves synchronously with the copper busbar along the path of the top edge of the rectangular groove 21. When the square block 31 moves to the top edge... At one end, the support rod 3 disengages from the copper busbar, and the square block 31 on the other support rod 3 enters the top edge of the corresponding rectangular groove 21 to support the copper busbar. In this way, multiple support rods 3 intermittently and alternately support the copper busbar. When the rotating rod 7 drives the reciprocating threaded cylinder 72 to rotate, causing the sliding plate 4 on that side to slide, the sliding plate 4 drives the gear 44 to rotate through the rotating tube 42 and the sliding rod 43. Through the transmission of the gear 44, the sliding plate 4 on the other side slides synchronously. In this way, the straightening rod 41 on the two sliding plates 4 contacts the two sides of the copper busbar to correct the horizontal position of the copper busbar and prevent excessive deviation. After correction, under the continuous rotation of the reciprocating threaded cylinder 72, the two sliding plates 4 disengage from the copper busbar, avoiding prolonged contact with the copper busbar and affecting the cooling effect of the copper busbar.

[0042] The foregoing has only described certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention by way of illustration. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the foregoing drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
