Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of casting blank cooling, in particular to a casting blank cooling device. Background Art

[0002] In casting production, castings always require cold working before they can be properly used. Simply put, cooling a casting involves lowering its temperature from a high temperature to a point where it reaches equilibrium with the surrounding environment. AH70DB steel has a low controlled final cooling temperature, resulting in a rapid cooling rate on the steel surface. This can lead to uneven strength across the plate and deviation from the central axis. Research has shown that adopting a controlled cooling process followed by a normalizing heat treatment, followed by a period of holding and then air cooling, can improve ferrite and structural defects, thereby enhancing the steel's impact toughness.

[0003] The existing referenceable Chinese utility model patent has a publication number of CN211005513U, which discloses a casting cooling device for steel production, including a cooling box, a conveyor belt, a spraying device, an infrared temperature sensor and a blowing device, and an inlet and an outlet are opened on the left and right sides of the cooling box, and its characteristics are: the conveyor belt passes through the inlet and outlet and is installed above the middle part of the cooling box; more than two groups of spraying devices are installed at the top, lower end or upper part of the front and rear sides of the cooling box, and the spraying device includes a nozzle adjustable in multiple directions; a temperature sensor is installed at the upper end or top of the side of the cooling box; the blowing device is installed inside the cooling box near the outlet, and on both sides of the conveyor belt outside the outlet; a sealed water collection chamber is provided at the bottom of the conveyor belt outside the cooling box outlet, and water collection troughs are provided on both sides of the water collection chamber, and a leakage hole is provided at the bottom of the conveyor belt outside the cooling box outlet.

[0004] Existing ingot cooling equipment uses water to remove heat from the ingot by spraying. During the spraying process, if the water temperature is too low, it will increase defects such as deformation of the steel and affect the cooling effect. The optimal water temperature during spraying is around 30 degrees Celsius. Existing ingot cooling equipment cannot accurately control the water temperature, and existing ingot cooling equipment can only spray water onto the upper surface of the ingot, resulting in a higher cooling rate on the upper surface of the ingot than on the lower surface, which will cause a strength difference between the upper and lower surfaces of the ingot.

[0010] As an optimal technical solution of the present invention, a receiving block is fixedly installed above the downward pressure piston, and a downward pressure roller is installed through the center of the receiving block, a transmission belt is embedded in the left end of the downward pressure roller, and an adapter ring is embedded in the upper end of the transmission belt, and a drive motor is installed through the center of the adapter ring; the downward pressure piston can adjust the relative position between the downward pressure roller and the fixed roller through the receiving block.

[0011] As an optimal technical solution of the present invention, a water trough is fixedly installed below the support rod, and a drain pipe is installed through the bottom end of the front vertical surface of the inner wall of the water trough. The bottom surface of the inner wall of the water trough is a slope structure with a low front and a high back; the water trough can receive unevaporated liquid, and the drain pipe can facilitate the discharge of water in the water trough.

[0012] As an optimal technical solution of the present invention, the guide pipe has a "U"-shaped structure, and the guide pipe is connected to the insulation pool through a liquid pump and a connecting pipe. The atomizing nozzles are equidistantly installed inside the "U"-shaped structure of the guide pipe, and the atomizing nozzles installed on the upper and lower sides of the guide pipe are mirror-symmetrical; the liquid pump can transport the water in the insulation pool to the guide pipe through the connecting pipe.

[0013] As an optimal technical solution of the present invention, the upper end of the valve tube is connected to the negative pressure pool, and the insulation pool is connected to the negative pressure pool through the valve tube; the valve tube can connect the insulation pool and the negative pressure pool.

[0014] As an optimal technical solution of the present invention, the vacuum pump passes through the top cover and is connected to the negative pressure pool, and the water inlet pipe has a valve structure; the vacuum pump can extract the gas inside the negative pressure pool, so that the inside of the negative pressure pool is in a negative pressure state, thereby changing the boiling point of the water inside the negative pressure pool.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a casting cooling device with the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. The utility model is provided with a vacuum pump. Since the vacuum pump is connected to the negative pressure pool, when the valves on the water inlet pipe and the valve pipe are closed, the negative pressure pool is in a sealed state. The gas inside the negative pressure pool is extracted by the vacuum pump, so that the inside of the negative pressure pool is in a negative pressure state. The pressure inside the negative pressure pool is controlled by the vacuum pump to change the boiling point of the water inside the negative pressure pool to about 30 degrees Celsius. After the water reaches 30 degrees Celsius through the heating coil, the water will no longer absorb heat. In this way, the temperature of the cooling water is controlled, thereby preventing the cooling water temperature from being too high or too low and affecting the cooling of the casting.

[0017] 2. The utility model sets a guide pipe and uses a liquid pump to transport the cooling water inside the insulation pool through the guide pipe to the inside of the atomizing nozzle. When being transported by the lower pressure roller, the billet will pass through the internal area of ​​the "U"-shaped structure of the guide pipe, and the upper and lower surfaces of the billet will be sprayed and cooled by the atomizing nozzle installed in a mirror image on the guide pipe. This method can avoid the cooling rate of the upper surface of the billet being higher than that of the lower surface, thereby avoiding the strength difference between the upper and lower surfaces of the billet.

[0032] Specifically, the outer shell 2 can protect the heating coil 22, the negative pressure pool 21 can store a certain volume of water, the heating coil 22 can heat the water inside the negative pressure pool 21, and the top cover 23 can support the vacuum pump 24. The vacuum pump 24 can extract the gas inside the negative pressure pool 21, so that the inside of the negative pressure pool 21 is in a negative pressure state, thereby changing the boiling point of the water inside the negative pressure pool 21, and the water inlet pipe 25 can facilitate the addition of water to the negative pressure pool 21.

[0033] A support rod 3 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the support frame 1, and a support plate 31 is fixedly installed on the left side of the support rod 3, a fixed roller 32 is inserted through the left side of the support rod 3, a support column 33 is fixedly installed on the left side of the support rod 3, and a downward piston 34 is inserted through the upper end of the support column 33.
