[0034] The following will be combined with the specific embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0035] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a cable extruder heating device of the present invention includes an extrusion barrel 1, a far-infrared heating block 2, a cooling coil 3 and a cooling air blower 4.

[0036] Among them, the far-infrared heating block 2 is wrapped on the extrusion barrel 1 and is used to perform far-infrared heating on the extrusion barrel 1. Compared with the existing heating method using cast aluminum heating blocks, the far-infrared heating is more uniform and the heating is more stable, thereby making the extrusion barrel 1 heated more uniformly and stably. In addition, the far-infrared heating method has high electrothermal conversion efficiency and significant energy-saving effect.

[0037] The cooling coil 3 is used to selectively cool the extrusion barrel 1. Specifically, the cooling coil 3 is arranged between the far-infrared heating block 2 and the extrusion barrel 1 and is wound around the extrusion barrel 1. When the extrusion barrel 1 needs to be cooled, a cooling medium, such as cooling water, is transported into the cooling coil 3. The cooling medium is used to cool the cooling coil 3, thereby indirectly cooling the extrusion barrel 1.

[0038] In the above-mentioned cable extruder heating device, several far-infrared heating blocks 2 are provided on the extrusion barrel 1, such as Figure 1 As shown, a cooling coil 3 is provided at each far-infrared heating block 2 , and each far-infrared heating block 2 includes a jacket 21 and a far-infrared heating tube 22 .

[0039] Among them, the jacket 21 includes two half shells, the extrusion barrel 1 is clamped and fixed between the two half shells, and flange structures are provided on the opposite ends of the two half shells. The two opposite flange structures are fixedly connected by bolts. When the two half shells are fixed on the extrusion barrel 1, a complete jacket 21 is formed; when the jacket 21 is fixed, an inner cavity 201 is formed between it and the extrusion barrel 1, and the far-infrared heating tube 22 is arranged in the inner cavity 201 and fixedly connected to the jacket 21. At the same time, the cooling coil 3 is also arranged in the inner cavity 201.

[0040] The far infrared heating tube 22 is used to generate infrared radiation energy to heat the extrusion barrel 1. Figure 3 As shown, the far-infrared heating tube 22 is annular, and a plurality of far-infrared heating tubes 22 are arranged equidistantly along the axial direction of the extrusion cylinder 1, so that the extrusion cylinder 1 is heated more evenly.

[0041] In addition, the far-infrared heating tube 22 can also be a straight tube. The straight far-infrared heating tube 22 is parallel to the extrusion cylinder 1 , and there are several straight far-infrared heating tubes 22 in a circular array along the circumference of the extrusion cylinder 1 .

[0042] In the above-mentioned cable extruder heating device, the cooling coil 3 is spirally wound on the extrusion barrel 1, and as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, both ends of the cooling coil 3 pass through the jacket 21 to the outside, and water pipe joints are provided on both ends of the cooling coil 3 exposed to the outside. The water pipe joints are used to connect the cooling medium delivery pipeline. Specifically, one end of the cooling coil 3 is the water inlet end, and the other end is the water outlet end. The water inlet end is connected to the liquid supply port of the cooling medium delivery pipeline through the water pipe joint, and the water outlet end is connected to the liquid return port of the cooling medium delivery pipeline through the water pipe joint. In addition, in order to control the flow rate, a solenoid valve is provided on the water inlet end of the cooling coil 3. By supplying cooling medium to the cooling coil 3, the extrusion barrel 1 can be quickly cooled, effectively preventing overheating and overheating, and has strong practical value.

[0043] In addition, the cross-section of the cooling coil 3 is a square tube, and a thermally conductive silicone sheet is sandwiched between the cooling coil 3 and the extrusion barrel 1. The contact surface between the cooling coil 3 and the extrusion barrel 1 of this shape is larger, and the heat transfer effect is better. At the same time, a thermally conductive silicone sheet is also arranged between the contact surfaces, which makes the heat transfer effect better and is conducive to the rapid cooling of the extrusion barrel 1.

[0044] The above-mentioned cable extruder heating device also includes an air cooling structure. Specifically, an air cooler 4 is provided at each jacket 21. The air cooler 4 is a snail blower or a straight blower, wherein the air outlet end of the air cooler 4 is in a trumpet shape. At the same time, an air inlet 202 is provided on the side of the jacket 21. The air inlet 202 is connected to the inner cavity 201. The air outlet end of the air cooler 4 is fixed on the air inlet 202. When the extrusion barrel 1 needs to be cooled, the air cooler 4 blows cold air into the inner cavity 201 to achieve air cooling of the extrusion barrel 1. In conjunction with the cooling coil 3, the dual cooling functions of air cooling + water cooling are realized, so that the far-infrared heating block 2 can be stably heated and the extrusion barrel 1 can be quickly cooled to prevent overheating and overheating.

[0045] In addition, in order to maintain a stable air pressure in the inner cavity 201, a ventilation hole is provided on the jacket 21. During air cooling, the air in the inner cavity 201 can be discharged from the ventilation hole.

[0046] In order to collect the temperature inside the inner cavity 201 and the extrusion barrel 1, a temperature sensor is set on the far-infrared heating block 2, and the sensing end of the temperature sensor is set in the inner cavity 201. A temperature sensor is also set on the extrusion barrel 1, and the sensing end of the temperature sensor is set in the extrusion barrel 1.

[0047] The method of using the heating device of a cable extruder of the utility model is as follows:

[0048] During the extrusion process, the far-infrared heating block 2 heats the extrusion barrel 1 so that the extrusion barrel 1 reaches the required extrusion temperature. When the extrusion temperature needs to be lowered, the cooling medium is transported to the cooling coil 3 to cool the extrusion barrel 1, or cold air is blown to the extrusion barrel 1 through the air cooler 4 to achieve cooling, or the cooling coil 3 and the air cooler 4 work simultaneously. When the temperature drops to the target temperature, the cooling medium is stopped from being transported to the cooling coil 3 and the air cooler 4 is shut down.

[0049] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
