Specific embodiments
[0021] The following will further describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present utility model in conjunction with the attached drawings and embodiments. The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present utility model, but are not used to limit the scope of the present utility model.
[0022] As Figures 1 to 4 shown, the cooling system of the oxygen-free copper rod continuous casting machine of the present utility model includes:
[0023] A mounting frame 1 and a cooler 2. The cooler 2 is installed inside the mounting frame 1 through a support mechanism. The coolant flow cross-section of the mounting frame 1 is set as a semi-circular structure, where the end in contact with the continuous casting machine is a plane, and the non-contact end with the continuous casting machine is an arc surface. At the same time, the structure of the cooler 2 inside the mounting frame 1 is a U-shaped structure connected reciprocally at equal intervals. Adapter members 3 are respectively installed at the water inlet end and the water outlet end of the mounting frame 1. The adapter members 3 are set as Z-shaped structures, and the two groups of adapter members 3 are on the same side;
[0024] A water supply assembly, which is respectively connected to the adapter member 3 at the water inlet end and the adapter member 3 at the water outlet end of the cooler 2; The connecting mechanism is used to stably support the cooler 2 inside the mounting frame 1. The mounting frame 1 is used for the coolant in the water supply assembly to circulate and exchange heat with the continuous casting machine. The coolant flow cross-section of the mounting frame 1 is circular, and the plane structure with the continuous casting machine increases the heat exchange area. The non-contact surface is set as an arc surface, which increases the heat dissipation area of the coolant passing through the cooler 2 during heat exchange flow. At the same time, it can ensure the cross-sectional area of the coolant flow while reducing the production cost of the cooler 2. The adapter member 3 makes it convenient to connect the water inlet end and the water outlet end of the cooler 2 to the water supply assembly. At the same time, the adapter member 3 is set as a Z-shaped structure, so that it is far away from the continuous casting machine when installed with the water supply assembly, protecting the water supply assembly and improving the assembly safety. The water supply assembly is used for the coolant to circulate in the cooler 2 to cool down the continuous casting machine.
[0025] The cooling system of the oxygen-free copper rod continuous casting machine of the present utility model.

A driven member 6 is coaxially threadedly engaged inside the shaft cavity of the adjusting member 5. An auxiliary member 16 is installed at one end of the driven member 6 at the cooler 2. The auxiliary member 16 is disposed on the cooler 2, and the two groups of auxiliary members 16 are respectively located at both ends of the cooler 2; the auxiliary member 16 is used to increase the contact area and connection strength between the driven member 6 and the cooler 2. By setting the threaded structures of the two groups of adjusting members 5 and the driven member 6, the trajectory is limited when the auxiliary member 16 drives the cooler 2 to move. The rotation of the adjusting member 5 is threadedly connected to the driven member 6, so that the auxiliary member 16 drives the position of the cooler 2 inside the mounting frame 1 to be adjusted, making it convenient for the cooler 2 to stably fit on the continuous casting machine. The driven member 6 is located at both ends of the cooler 2 to ensure that while the support of the cooler 2 is reduced, the hindrance to the heat dissipation of the cooler 2 is reduced. The adjusting member 5 is provided with a regular hexagonal lead-out end to reduce the relative rotation difficulty with the driven member 6. It should be noted here that the two groups of adjusting members 5 need to be synchronously driven to prevent damage to the cooler 2 and reduce the rotation resistance.

[0032] The cooling system of the oxygen-free copper rod continuous casting machine of the present utility model, when working, first installs the mounting frame 1 in the area to be cooled of the continuous casting machine by passing bolts through the long slot holes of the ear plate 17, and then adjusts the position of the cooler 2 by threadedly connecting the rotating adjusting member 5 and the driven member 6 to make it contact with the continuous casting machine. After that, install the radiator 7 behind the continuous casting machine, connect the water pump 8 and the adapter 3 by the transfer pipe 9, and install the return pipe 10 on another set of adapters 3.
