[0021] The utility model relates to copper and copper alloy strips, in particular to red copper and copper alloys with a thickness of 0.1mm-0.6mm.

[0022] When processing copper and copper alloy strips, especially thin strips, the heat treatment process requires the use of imported air cushion continuous annealing furnaces or domestic roller-type continuous annealing furnaces. After heating, the strips must be cooled during the cooling phase, requiring strict control over the cooling rate and decomposition gas flow rate. Through research, our company has modified the hydrogen spray cooling section. The air duct of the hydrogen spray cooling section has been converted into three independent ventilation channels. A butterfly valve has been added to the entrance of each independent ventilation channel to control the flow of decomposition gas entering. Each air duct corresponds to the edge, middle, and edge of the strip. Due to the different cooling rates at the edge and middle, the cross-sectional grain uniformity of the strip is affected. By adjusting the fan frequency and the opening of the air duct, the cross-sectional grain uniformity of the strip can be greatly improved, thereby increasing the yield rate.

[0023] The present invention is further described below through examples.

[0024] Example 1 Figures 1-4 As shown, an improved hydrogen spray cooling device includes a transport cooling box, a cooler 4, a fan 5, and a motor driving the fan 5. The transport cooling box is internally divided into an upper chamber 1, a lower chamber 2, and a transport chamber 3 located between the upper and lower chambers. The upper chamber 1 is provided with a supplementary decomposition gas inlet 8 (equipped with a valve). The transport chamber 3 is connected to the inlet and outlet of the transport cooling box. A transport device is horizontally installed in the transport chamber 3, and the transport chamber 3 is connected to the cooler 4 and the fan 5 in sequence through pipes. The upper chamber 1 and the lower chamber 2 are both equipped with air knives 10 corresponding to the transport device from front to back. The fan outlet branches into four pipelines, extending into the front and rear ends of the upper chamber 1 and the lower chamber 2, respectively. Before entering the upper and lower chambers, the four pipelines are divided into three independent ventilation channels and arranged perpendicular to the transport direction of the transport device. A valve is installed at the entrance (air inlet 7) of each independent ventilation channel. The air knife for the upper chamber 1 is located at the bottom of the upper chamber, and the air knife for the lower chamber 2 is located at the top of the lower chamber.

[0025] Embodiment 2 The air knives 10 are arranged in multiple rows and front to back, with multiple air knives in each row. The air knives 10 corresponding to the middle ventilation channel are arranged closely, while the air knives 10 corresponding to the ventilation channels on both sides are arranged loosely.

[0026] Example 3 Figure 1 、 2It can be seen that the ventilation channel extending into the upper chamber 1 extends from top to bottom into the interior of the upper chamber 1, and the ventilation channel extending into the lower chamber 2 extends from bottom to top into the interior of the lower chamber 2.

[0027] In the embodiment 4, the fan is a variable frequency fan 6, the valve is a butterfly valve 9, and the cooler 4 is a water-cooled air radiator.

[0028] The device works as follows: the device is a component of a continuous annealing furnace unit, hydrogen injection cooling is hydrogen injection cooling of the strip after heating by a muffle pipe into a protective gas atmosphere, and the hydrogen injection cooling device performs strong cooling according to process requirements. The hydrogen injection cooling device is supplemented with ammonia decomposition gas from the top of the strip outlet direction, and the gas in the upper and lower chambers has a certain pressure. The hydrogen injection cooling device is cooled by the strip, and the decomposition gas is discharged to the chamber on both sides. The decomposition gas is circulated by the centrifugal fan through the pipeline, passes through the water-cooled air radiator first, and the water takes away the heat from the radiator to realize the cooling of the decomposition gas, and then is sent to the upper and lower chambers through the outlet of the centrifugal fan to form the circulation of the decomposition gas.

[0029] The utility model mainly has two transformations: first, the strip after heating by a muffle pipe enters the hydrogen injection cooling device in a protective gas atmosphere, and an ammonia decomposition gas supplement port is arranged above the strip outlet direction to supplement the upper chamber. The upper and lower chamber air ducts of the hydrogen injection cooling device in the upper and lower chambers are transformed into three independent ventilation channels, a butterfly valve is added at the inlet of each independent ventilation channel to control the flow of the decomposition gas, and each air duct corresponds to the edge, middle and edge of the strip. Since the cooling speeds of the edge and middle are different, the uniformity of the cross-sectional grains of the strip is affected. The decomposition gas is discharged from the air knife to cool the strip, and the decomposition gas is discharged to the chamber on both sides. The decomposition gas is circulated by the centrifugal fan through the pipeline, passes through the water-cooled air radiator first, and the water takes away the heat from the radiator to realize the cooling of the decomposition gas, and then is sent to the upper and lower chambers through the outlet of the centrifugal fan to form the circulation of the decomposition gas.

[0030] Second, the power frequency fan is replaced by a variable frequency centrifugal fan. According to the heat absorption of different strips, the cooling flow of the fan is adjusted to greatly improve the cooling uniformity and cooling degree of the strip, thereby improving the yield.
