Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of cooling equipment, and particularly relates to a galvanized steel strip mobile bellows cooling device and a sealing structure in the cooling device. Background Art

[0002] The galvanizing production line needs to be regularly inspected and maintained. During the inspection, the bellows above the zinc pot needs to be moved. However, the mobile bellows has huge air ducts, bellows, steel structures and fans, which are very cumbersome and unsafe to move. In order to solve the problem of inconvenience in movement, the technicians modified the equipment and designed a detachable connection structure between the bellows and the air duct or part of the air duct to make the bellows more flexible and safer to move. However, the equipment must be disassembled and assembled for each inspection, which adds a lot of workload to the relevant staff. Moreover, the connectors are prone to deformation after multiple disassembly and assembly, which leads to a decrease in sealing and may pose a safety hazard. However, if the connectors are replaced uniformly after a certain number of disassembly and assembly, it will increase the equipment cost and spare parts pressure. Therefore, it is necessary to continue to improve and find more flexible connection methods.
