Throughout the description of this application, "plurality" means two or more, unless otherwise specifically defined.
[0030] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the cooling device 10 provided by the embodiment of the present application is now described. The cooling device 10 provided by the embodiment of the present application includes a cooling mechanism 11, a transportation mechanism 12, a loading mechanism 13 and an unloading mechanism 14. The cooling mechanism 11 includes a cooling component 111 and a receiving component 112 provided with a receiving cavity 1121. The cooling component 111 is connected to the receiving component 112 and is used to cool the receiving cavity 1121. The receiving component 112 is provided with openings at both ends along a straight line, and the openings are connected to the receiving cavity 1121. The straight line direction is defined as a first direction, which is denoted as X. The transportation mechanism 12 passes through the receiving cavity 1121 through the opening along the first direction. The loading mechanism 13 is arranged on one side of the receiving component 112 along the first direction. The loading mechanism 13 and the transportation mechanism 12 can exchange workpieces and can load the transportation mechanism 12. The unloading mechanism 14 is arranged on the other side of the receiving component 112 along the first direction. The unloading mechanism 14 and the transportation mechanism 12 can exchange workpieces and can unload the transportation mechanism 12.
[0031] The loading mechanism 13 of the cooling device 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application is used to place the workpiece to be cooled on the transportation mechanism 12. The transportation mechanism 12 transports the workpiece from the corresponding opening of the accommodating component 112 to the accommodating cavity 1121. After cooling by the cooling component 111, the transportation mechanism 12 continues to transport the workpiece from another opening of the accommodating component 112 to the unloading mechanism 14 for unloading.
[0032] Among them, the above-mentioned mechanisms can operate in an automated and coordinated manner. Compared with the setting of using a forklift, a manipulator, etc. to transport the workpiece in and out of the cooling mechanism 11, in the cooling device 10 of the embodiment of the present application, the cooling mechanism 11 cooperates with the transportation mechanism 12, so that the transportation mechanism 12 cooperates with the loading mechanism 13 and the unloading mechanism 14 to automatically load and unload, and automatically transport the workpiece in and out of the cooling mechanism 11. Such fully automated operation can significantly improve the work efficiency of workpiece production.
[0033] Furthermore, the loading mechanism 13 and the unloading mechanism 14 are respectively arranged on both sides of the first direction of the cooling mechanism 11, so that the transportation of the transportation mechanism 12 can always be from the loading mechanism 13 to the unloading mechanism 14. If the size of the accommodating cavity 1121 of the accommodating component 112 along the first direction is sufficient, and the corresponding cooling setting of the cooling component 111 can meet the needs of the accommodating cavity 1121, then the loading mechanism 13, the transportation mechanism 12 and the unloading mechanism 14 can cooperate to achieve continuous operation, that is, as the transportation mechanism 12 carries the workpiece through the accommodating cavity 1121, the cooling of the workpiece also meets the standard, so that the cooling device 10 can continuously perform the cooling process on the workpiece, thereby further improving the efficiency of workpiece production.
[0034] It should be noted that the cooling mechanism 11, the transport mechanism 12, the loading mechanism 13 and the unloading mechanism 14 in the embodiment of the present application can be any settings that can cooperate with each other.
[0035] The cooling component 111 of the above embodiment may be provided with an air outlet end (not shown in the figure) and an air extraction end (not shown in the figure), and the accommodating component 112 may also be provided with an air inlet member 1122 and an air outlet member 1123 arranged at intervals, and the air inlet member 1122 and the air outlet member 1123 are both air-conducting structures with openings at both ends; one end opening of the air inlet member 1122 and one end opening of the air outlet member 1123 are both connected to the accommodating cavity 1121, the air outlet end (not shown in the figure) of the cooling component 111 is connected to the other end opening of the air inlet member 1122, and the air extraction end (not shown in the figure) of the cooling component 111 is connected to the other end opening of the air outlet member 1123.
[0036] In the embodiment of the present application, the cooling assembly 111 is provided with both the functions of outlet and exhaust as an example. The specific outlet and exhaust configurations can be configured to meet the corresponding functional conditions. The outlet end (not shown in the figure) and the exhaust end (not shown in the figure) can be understood as both having openings. Of course, in the embodiment of the present application, the cooling assembly 111 can also be provided with an outlet end (not shown in the figure), and a separate exhaust member with an exhaust function can be provided for exhausting air, and used in conjunction with the cooling assembly 111.
[0037] The cooling component 111 inputs the gas for cooling into the accommodating cavity 1121 through the air inlet part 1122 via the air outlet end (not shown in the figure). After the gas passes through the distance between the air inlet part 1122 and the air outlet part 1123, the gas is absorbed out of the accommodating cavity 1121 from the air outlet part 1123 by the suction action of the exhaust end (not shown in the figure), so that the gas forms a flowing airflow in the accommodating cavity 1121, and the airflow takes away the heat released by the workpiece carried on the transport mechanism 12 in the accommodating cavity 1121, thereby achieving the effect of cooling the workpiece.
[0038] The number of air inlet members 1122 and air outlet members 1123 is not limited and can be determined as needed, but generally the number of air inlet members 1122 and air outlet members 1123 is equal, that is, one air inlet member 1122 corresponds to one air outlet member 1123. The air inlet members 1122 and air outlet members 1123 can also be replaced by punching holes in the sidewalls of the accommodating cavity 1121 to achieve the air inlet and air outlet functions. In the embodiment of the present application, the air inlet members 1122 and air outlet members 1123 are configured as separate structural members as an example to facilitate the docking with the cooling assembly 111 and the required flow guidance configuration.
[0039] See also Figure 2 Furthermore, the air inlet member 1122 and the air outlet member 1123 of the above embodiment are arranged at intervals along the first direction, and the opening end of the air inlet member 1122 communicating with the accommodating chamber 1121 and the opening end of the air outlet member 1123 communicating with the accommodating chamber 1121 are both provided with a guide portion 1124; the guide portion 1124 of the air inlet member 1122 is arranged to guide the flow toward the air outlet member 1123 side along the first direction, and the guide portion 1124 of the air outlet member 1123 is arranged to guide the flow toward the air inlet member 1122 side along the first direction.
[0040] The spacing between the air inlet member 1122 and the air outlet member 1123 along the first direction can be aligned with the transport direction of the transport mechanism 12, thereby helping to ensure that the workpiece carried by the transport mechanism 12 is constantly cooled as it moves, thereby improving cooling efficiency. The guide portions 1124 provided at the ends of the air inlet member 1122 and the air outlet member 1123 in the embodiment of the present application can be adjustable or fixed, with no particular limitation. The structural shape of the guide portions 1124 can be a continuation of the shape of the corresponding air inlet member 1122 or air outlet member 1123, or can be a separate plate or sheet, etc., to meet the flow guidance requirements.
[0041] The guide portion 1124 provided at the end of the air inlet member 1122 is provided to guide the air along the first direction toward the corresponding air outlet member 1123 side, so as to help improve the efficiency of the air outlet member 1123 in absorbing the gas input into the accommodating chamber 1121 by the corresponding air inlet member 1122, thereby improving the flow rate of the generated airflow, thereby helping to further improve the cooling efficiency. Similarly, the guide portion 1124 provided at the end of the air outlet member 1123 is provided to guide the air along the first direction toward the air outlet member 1123 side, which can further improve the absorption of the gas in the accommodating chamber 1121 by the air outlet member 1123. Combined with the guide portion 1124 provided at the end of the air inlet member 1122, the two are arranged in a certain direction toward each other along the first direction, which can improve the flow rate of the airflow and guide the direction of the airflow, thereby achieving the effect of improving the efficiency of the airflow cooling workpiece.
[0042] It can be understood that the guide portion 1124 of the air inlet member 1122 is arranged to guide the air along the first direction toward the air outlet member 1123 side, and the guide portion 1124 of the air outlet member 1123 is arranged to guide the air along the first direction toward the air inlet member 1122 side. The air outlet of the guide portion 1124 of the air inlet member 1122 and the air inlet of the guide portion 1124 of the air outlet member 1123 are both taken as an example of being obliquely directed toward the workpiece on the transport mechanism 12. In this way, the gas passing through the guide portion 1124 of the air inlet member 1122 and then into the accommodating cavity 1121 can be directly blown onto the workpiece carried by the transport mechanism 12, and the guide portion 1124 of the air outlet member 1123 absorbs the gas with heat from the direction of the workpiece, which can further improve the cooling efficiency of the airflow.
[0043] See also Figure 2 Furthermore, the transport mechanism 12 of the above embodiment may include a first transport component 121 and a second transport component 122, and the first transport component 121 and the second transport component 122 are spaced apart along the second direction, the second direction is denoted as Y, and the second direction has an angle with the first direction; the first transport component 121 and the second transport component 122 are both provided with a accommodating cavity 1121 through the openings at both ends of the accommodating component 112 along the first direction.
[0044] In the embodiment of the present application, the first direction is parallel to the horizontal direction and the second direction is perpendicular to the horizontal direction as an example, that is, it can be understood that the first transport component 121 and the second transport component 122 are arranged in layers along the vertical direction. Specifically, the first transport component 121 is located above the second transport component 122 as an example. The upper surface of the first transport component 121 and the second transport component 122 serves as the surface for carrying workpieces. Specifically, the first transport component 121 and the second transport component 122 can be transported by chain drive, or by conveyor belt, or by any other method that can carry the workpiece. The specific transport setting is not limited. In this way, the first transport component 121 and the second transport component 122 can operate simultaneously to improve the working efficiency of the cooling device 10. Of course, more transport components can be set as needed to improve production capacity. However, multiple transport components are all arranged in layers along the vertical direction as an example. In this way, the vertical space can be fully utilized to optimize the horizontal space occupied by the cooling device 10.
[0045] The receiving assembly 112 may have an opening at one end along the first direction, with the first transport assembly 121 and the second transport assembly 122 both extending through the same opening. Alternatively, the receiving assembly 112 may have two openings at one end along the first direction, with the two openings spaced apart along the second direction, with the first transport assembly 121 and the second transport assembly 122 extending through different openings. Alternatively, the first transport assembly 121 and the second transport assembly 122 may be disposed inside the receiving assembly 112, with the loading mechanism 13 and the unloading mechanism 14 loading and unloading materials to the first transport assembly 121 and the second transport assembly 122 through the corresponding openings at both ends of the receiving assembly 112 in the first direction.
[0046] See also Figures 2 to 4 Furthermore, the air inlet member 1122 may include a first air inlet portion 1122a and a second air inlet portion 1122b, and the air outlet member 1123 may include a first air outlet portion 1123a and a second air outlet portion 1123b. An opening at one end of the first air inlet portion 1122a and an opening at one end of the second air inlet portion 1122b are both connected to the air outlet end (not shown in the figure) of the cooling component 111, and an opening at one end of the first air outlet portion 1123a and an opening at one end of the second air outlet portion 1123b are both connected to the cooling component 111. 1; the other end opening of the first air inlet portion 1122a and the other end opening of the first air outlet portion 1123a are both arranged above the first transport component 121 and communicate with the accommodating chamber 1121; the other end opening of the second air inlet portion 1122b and the other end opening of the second air outlet portion 1123b are both arranged above the second transport component 122, and are located between the first transport component 121 and the second transport component 122, and communicate with the accommodating chamber 1121.
[0047] In the embodiment of the present application, the first air inlet portion 1122a and the second air inlet portion 1122b of the air inlet member 1122 can be relatively independently arranged, that is, the openings at both ends of the first air inlet portion 1122a and the openings at both ends of the second air inlet portion 1122b are relatively independently arranged; the first air inlet portion 1122a and the second air inlet portion 1122b can also be arranged to share an opening at one end, that is, the opening of the first air inlet portion 1122a communicating with the air outlet end (not shown in the figure) of the cooling component 111 and the opening of the second air inlet portion 1122b communicating with the air outlet end (not shown in the figure) of the cooling component 111 are shared. Similarly, the first air outlet portion 1123a and the second air outlet portion 1123b of the air outlet member 1123 can be relatively independently arranged, or the opening of the first air outlet portion 1123a communicating with the air extraction end (not shown in the figure) of the cooling component 111 and the opening of the second air outlet portion 1123b communicating with the air extraction end (not shown in the figure) of the cooling component 111 are shared.
[0048] In the embodiment of the present application, the first air inlet 1122a and the second air inlet 1122b are relatively independently arranged, and the first air outlet 1123a and the second air outlet 1123b are relatively independently arranged as an example, that is, the cooling component 111 is respectively connected to the first air inlet 1122a and the second air inlet 1122b with independent air outlet ends (not shown in the figure), and is respectively connected to the first air outlet 1123a and the second air outlet 1123b with independent air exhaust ends (not shown in the figure).
[0049] The first air inlet 1122a and the first air outlet 1123a form a group, which cooperate to guide the airflow of the cooling component 111 to cool the workpiece carried by the first transport component 121; the second air inlet 1122b and the second air outlet 1123b form a group, which cooperate to guide the airflow of the cooling component 111 to cool the workpiece carried by the second transport component 122. In this way, the transport space of the first transport component 121 and the second transport component 122 can both obtain corresponding cooling effects, so that the workpiece carried by the first transport component 121 and the workpiece carried by the second transport component 122 can be cooled equally, thereby ensuring the uniformity of the quality of the produced workpieces.
[0050] Furthermore, in the embodiment of the present application, taking the transfer of workpieces in the form of being placed on a pallet (not shown in the figure) as an example, the transport mechanism 12 may also include a third transport component 123, and the third transport component 123 is arranged on the side of the second transport component 122 away from the first transport component 121 along the second direction, and the third transport component 123 passes through the openings at both ends of the accommodating component 112 along the first direction. The third transport component 123 and the loading mechanism 13 and the unloading mechanism 14 can all receive pallets (not shown in the figure); the loading mechanism 13 is used to receive the pallet carrying the workpiece (not shown in the figure) to the first transport component 121 and the second transport component 122, and the unloading mechanism 14 is used to receive the pallet carrying the workpiece (not shown in the figure) from the first transport component 121 and the second transport component 122, and to receive the empty pallet (not shown in the figure) after the workpiece is taken away to the third transport component 123, and the third transport component 123 is used to transport the empty pallet (not shown in the figure) to the loading mechanism 13 to hold the workpiece.
[0051] In the embodiment of the present application, the third transport assembly 123 is used to transport an empty pallet (not shown in the figure), and the first transport assembly 121 and the second transport assembly 122 are used to transport a pallet loaded with workpieces (not shown in the figure). The specific working principle is as follows:
[0052] The loading mechanism 13 places the tray (not shown in the figure) containing the workpiece to be cooled on the first transport component 121 and the second transport component 122, and then the first transport component 121 and the second transport component 122 transport the corresponding tray (not shown in the figure) containing the workpiece along the first direction, and in the process of passing through the accommodating cavity 1121, it is cooled by the cooling component 111 until the cooling process is completed, and then the tray (not shown in the figure) containing the workpiece is transported to the unloading mechanism 14 to complete the unloading, and then the workpiece is taken away at the unloading mechanism 14, and the empty tray (not shown in the figure) is left on the unloading mechanism 14, and then the unloading mechanism 14 An empty pallet (not shown in the figure) is placed on the third transport component 123, and the third transport component 123 transports the empty pallet (not shown in the figure) to the loading mechanism 13. After the loading mechanism 13 receives the empty pallet (not shown in the figure), it is used to continue to receive incoming workpieces, and then the pallet (not shown in the figure) continues to circulate for loading, so that a circular operation can be achieved. The setting of the pallet (not shown in the figure) can not only protect the workpiece from damage during transportation, but also help to adapt the pallet (not shown in the figure) to the loading mechanism 13, the unloading mechanism 14 and the transport mechanism 12, thereby improving the matching stability, and thus helping to improve the accuracy of the loading and unloading process of the workpiece.
[0053] Of course, in the above embodiment where only the first transport component 121 and the second transport component 122 are set, one of the first transport component 121 and the second transport component 122 can be used to transport a pallet loaded with workpieces (not shown in the figure), while the other is used to transport an empty pallet (not shown in the figure). The principle of transferring the pallets (not shown in the figure) is the same and will not be elaborated here.
[0054] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the openings connecting the first air inlet portion 1122a and the second air inlet portion 1122b to the air outlet end (not shown in the figure) of the cooling component 111 are arranged on the upper end side of the accommodating component 112, and the openings connecting the first air outlet portion 1123a and the second air outlet portion 1123b to the air extraction end (not shown in the figure) of the cooling component 111 are also arranged on the upper end side of the accommodating component 112, and the cooling component 111 is arranged at the upper end of the accommodating component 112.
[0055] It can be understood that the cooperation between the cooling component 111 and the accommodating component 112 is along the vertical direction to make full use of the vertical space to save the space occupied in the horizontal direction. The openings for connecting the first air inlet 1122a, the second air inlet 1122b, the first air outlet 1123a and the second air outlet 1123b with the cooling component 111 are all arranged on the upper end side of the accommodating component 112, which can help to integrate the connection of the cooling component 111 and can further help to optimize the space occupied in the horizontal direction.
[0056] See also Figure 2 Furthermore, the loading mechanism 13 and the unloading mechanism 14 of the above embodiment may include a carrier 131 and a support 132. The carrier 131 is movably arranged on the support 132 along the second direction, and the carrier 131 and the transportation mechanism 12 can transfer the workpiece.
[0057] The supporting members 132 corresponding to the loading mechanism 13 and the unloading mechanism 14 are respectively arranged on the two end sides of the accommodating component 112 along the first direction, specifically taking a fixed arrangement relative to the accommodating component 112 as an example, thereby providing a stable support for the corresponding material carrier 131, and the material carrier 131 corresponding to the loading mechanism 13 and the unloading mechanism 14 are both used to carry workpieces, specifically a carrying tray (not shown in the figure), and the material carrier 131 is movably arranged on the supporting member 132 along the vertical direction, that is, it is a liftable arrangement, so that it can be conveniently used to respectively dock the first transport component 121, the second transport component 122 and the third transport component 123. Regarding the adjustable lifting arrangement of the material carrier 131, it can be any arrangement that can control the lifting and lowering of the material carrier 131, without limitation.
[0058] See also Figure 5The carrier 131 may be provided with a transport portion 133 and a driving portion 134 , the driving portion 134 is drivingly connected to the transport portion 133 , and the driving portion 134 may drive the transport portion 133 to move along a first direction to deliver the workpiece to the transport mechanism 12 .
[0059] The transport part 133 can be a component with a transport function, such as a conveyor belt or a conveyor chain, and the driving part 134 can drive the transport part 133 to transport along the first direction, so as to have a transport function on the carried pallet (not shown in the figure) along the first direction for a certain distance. During implementation, for example, when the carrier 131 is raised to the same height as the first transport component 121, the driving part 134 drives the transport part 133 to transport the carried pallet (not shown in the figure) along the first direction to the first transport component 121 to complete the handover. Similarly, if it is a unloading process, when the first transport component 121 transports the pallet (not shown in the figure) to the transport part 133, by driving the transport part 133, it can play a traction role on the pallet (not shown in the figure), which is helpful for unloading.
[0060] The present application also provides a processing device (not shown) including a feeding device (not shown), a receiving device (not shown), and the cooling device 10 of any of the above embodiments. The feeding device (not shown) is used to place the workpiece to be cooled onto the loading mechanism 13, and the receiving device (not shown) is used to remove the cooled workpiece from the unloading mechanism 14. With respect to the cooling device 10, the feeding device (not shown) can be any process device before the cooling process, and similarly, the receiving device (not shown) can be any process device after the cooling process.
[0061] The processing equipment (not shown in the figure) of the embodiment of the present application includes the cooling device 10 in any of the above embodiments, and therefore has the beneficial effects brought by the cooling device 10 in any of the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.
