DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0027] See also Figures 1 to 3 The utility model provides a technical solution: a temperature regulating device for a hot pressing mold, including a heat exchange part, such as Figure 2 As shown, the heat exchange part is arranged on the surface of the mold, so that the temperature of the mold can be directly transferred to the heat exchange part. The specific structure of the heat exchange part includes two arc-shaped shells 14, and a heat exchange tube 16 is bent on the inner surface of each arc-shaped shell 14. The heat exchange tube 16 is specifically bent in an "S" shape. The heat exchange tube 16 is close to the mold surface, so that the heat exchange tube 16 can directly contact the mold surface, thereby achieving heat transfer. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, one end of each heat exchange tube 16 is connected to the seventh connecting tube 12 , and the other end of each heat exchange tube 16 is connected to the eighth connecting tube 13 .

[0028] Here is a brief description of the graphite pressing process. In order to improve the application performance of graphite and meet specific usage requirements, the graphite raw materials need to be pressed into columns or blocks, such as Figure 4As shown in the figure, the mold is actually a steel cylinder. The graphite raw material is poured into the mold, and then the die head is driven by a hydraulic press to align with the mold for pressing. In this application, the arc-shaped shell 14 is clamped outside the mold, so that the heat exchange tube 16 is closely attached to the surface of the mold. Then, the two ends of the two arc-shaped shells 14 are respectively connected and fastened by locking parts. A heat insulation layer 17 is provided on the inner wall of the arc-shaped shell 14. The heat insulation layer 17 is one of a heat insulation ceramic plate, a heat insulation board or a heat insulation cotton. The heat exchange tube 16 is actually arranged on the heat insulation layer 17, so as to prevent the heat of the heat exchange tube from being transferred to the outside;

[0029] The arc-shaped shell 14 should be convenient to disassemble, so the locking parts should also be convenient to disassemble. The specific structure of the locking parts includes connecting seats 15 respectively arranged at the edges of the arc-shaped shell 14. The two connected connecting seats 15 are connected by bolts. When the arc-shaped shell 14 needs to be disassembled, only need to loosen the bolts, and the arc-shaped shell 14 can be separated from the surface of the mold.

[0030] Furthermore, this application also includes a circulation pipeline for circulating oil. The circulation pipeline includes a sixth connecting pipe 11. As Figure 1 shown, a seventh connecting pipe 12 is connected to the sixth connecting pipe 11. One end of the sixth connecting pipe 11 is respectively connected to one ends of a second connecting pipe 7 and a third connecting pipe 8. The other end of the second connecting pipe 7 is connected to one end of a radiator 9. The other end of the radiator 9 is connected to the inlet of a circulation pump 5 through a first connecting pipe 3;

[0031] The other end of the third connecting pipe 8 is connected to a heating oil furnace. There is circulating oil in the heating oil furnace. The heating oil furnace heats the circulating oil to the required temperature. The heating oil furnace is also connected to the inlet of the circulation pump 5 through a fourth connecting pipe 4. A fifth connecting pipe 6 is provided at the outlet of the circulation pump 5. As Figure 1 shown, an eighth connecting pipe 13 is connected to the fifth connecting pipe 6;

[0032] As Figure 1 shown, electric control valves 10 are respectively provided on the second connecting pipe 7, the third connecting pipe 8, the first connecting pipe 3 and the fourth connecting pipe 4. The circulation pump 5 and the electric control valves 10 are respectively electrically connected to the control part. The following is a specific description of the circulation process;

[0033] 1. The electric control valves 10 on the third connecting pipe 8, the second connecting pipe 7, the first connecting pipe 3 and the fourth connecting pipe 4 are respectively numbered as valve A, valve B, valve C and valve D;

[0034] 2. When the mold needs to be heated, valve B and valve C are closed at this time, valve A and valve D are opened. The circulating oil passes through the heating oil furnace, the fourth connecting pipe 4, the circulating pump 5, the fifth connecting pipe 6, the eighth connecting pipe 13, the heat exchange pipe 16, the seventh connecting pipe 12, and the sixth connecting pipe 11 in sequence. Finally, the circulating oil passing through the sixth connecting pipe 11 is recycled into the heating oil furnace through the third connecting pipe 8 again. Circulating like this, the circulating oil can heat the mold and can also keep it warm;

[0035] 3. When the mold needs to be cooled, valve B and valve C are opened at this time, valve A and valve D are closed. At this time, the circulating oil no longer passes through the heating oil furnace, but passes through the heat exchange pipe 16, the seventh connecting pipe 12, the sixth connecting pipe 11, the second connecting pipe 7, the radiator 9, the first connecting pipe 3, the circulating pump 5, and the fifth connecting pipe 6, the eighth connecting pipe 13 in sequence and circulates like this. The circulating oil takes away heat when passing through the mold and then is cooled by the radiator 9. The radiator is a finned tube radiator;

[0036] It should be noted that this cooling process is slow rather than rapid cooling. Because the arc-shaped outer shell 14 is included on the mold surface, the mold has a certain heat preservation effect. Through the cooperation of the radiator 9 and the fan, the surface of the mold can be slowly cooled. For example, it is first cooled to X, kept warm for a period of time and then cooled to Y, and so on, and finally cooled to the set temperature, so as to avoid the problem that the mold directly transfers heat outward and the heat dissipation cannot be controlled; at the same time, the circulating oil can pass through the surface of the grinding tool evenly, so that the mold can be cooled evenly and the temperature of the mold can be kept uniform;

[0037] It should be emphasized that when the mold is cooled, the circulating oil in each pipeline will be cooled by the radiator. At this time, the temperature of the circulating oil is lower than the temperature of the heating oil furnace. Since the oil in the pipeline is smaller in volume than the oil in the heating oil furnace, that is, compared with the entire volume of the oil in the heating oil furnace, the oil used for cooling accounts for a very small proportion. Therefore, when switching to heating the mold, the cooled oil will not have a great impact on the temperature of the entire oil when it enters the heating oil furnace.

[0038] Furthermore, as Figure 3 shown, a blower fan 20 is provided on one side of the radiator 9. The blower fan 20 and the radiator 9 are both installed in the protective cover 19 with openings at both ends. The provided protective cover 19 can not only protect the radiator 9, but also gather the wind blown out by the blower fan, so that the wind blown out by the blower fan directly blows on the radiator 9, accelerating the heat dissipation effect. Protective nets are installed at both ends of the protective cover 19, which can prevent foreign objects from entering.

[0039] Furthermore, the present application also proposes the specific structure of the heating oil furnace. As Figure 1 shown, the heating oil furnace includes a heating barrel 1, and the bottom of the heating barrel 1 is installed on the base 23; AsFigure 3 As shown, a cavity (not labeled in the figure) is provided at the top of the base 23. A heater 22 for heating the heating barrel 1 is provided inside the cavity. The heater 22 is a heating resistor or an electromagnetic heater. In actual use, a detachable lid is provided at the top of the heating barrel 1;

[0040] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the third connecting pipe 8 is arranged at a high position on the side of the heating barrel 1, and the fourth connecting pipe 4 is arranged at the bottom of the side of the heating barrel 1.

[0041] Furthermore, the control part includes a control cabinet 25. A controller is provided inside the control cabinet 25. The controller is a PLC logic controller, a mainframe or a PCB control board. The controller is electrically connected to the circulation pump 5, the electric control valve 10, the heater 22, and the blower fan 20 respectively. The controller is also electrically connected to the operation screen 26 and the operation buttons. The operation screen 26 and the operation buttons are arranged on the surface of the control cabinet 25. The operation buttons include start-stop buttons, buttons for respectively controlling heating and cooling, etc.;

[0042] The controller is also electrically connected to a first temperature sensor 18 and a second temperature sensor 24 respectively. The second temperature sensor 24 is arranged on the surface of the heating barrel 1. As Figure 1 shown, the first temperature sensor 18 is arranged between the heat exchange pipes 16. Here, the first temperature sensor 18 is used to detect the temperature of the mold, so that the temperature of the mold is monitored by the first temperature sensor 18 at all times. The second temperature sensor 24 provided is used to monitor the oil temperature, so that the circulating oil can be stabilized at the set temperature. The electrical connection in the control part is connected by wires and signal lines, so as to realize the transmission of signals and electric energy.

[0043] Based on the above embodiments, it can be further optimized. The protective cover 19, the circulation pump 5, the base 23, and the control cabinet 25 are all arranged on the support 21. Support pads or universal wheels can be arranged at the four corners of the bottom of the support 21.

[0044] Based on the above embodiments, it can be further optimized. An oil storage tank 2 is installed on the first connecting pipe 3. As Figure 1 shown, the oil storage tank 2 is used to store a small amount of circulating oil, which is used for the circulation pump to circulate and use, so as to avoid the circulation pump from idling.

[0046] Although the embodiments of the present utility model have been shown and described, for those of ordinary skill in the art, it can be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the present utility model. The scope of the present utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
