[0004] To ensure that the wind power main shaft has good fatigue performance, metal mold is generally used as chilling material. However, from the actual effect, the size (thickness) of metal mold and the wall thickness of casting are not in linear relationship, which is easy to cause heat saturation, limited cooling capacity, and unable to guarantee the fatigue strength of casting. SUMMARY

[0005] The utility model provides a kind of spray water cooling device of wind power main shaft metal type for the above prior art, simple structure, convenient operation, can accelerate the cooling and solidification effect of main shaft, improve the fatigue strength of main shaft.

[0006] The utility model discloses the technical scheme adopted to solve the above problems: a kind of spray water cooling device of wind power main shaft metal type, including annular water pipe, the annular water pipe surrounds metal type bottom outside, the annular water pipe is filled with heat insulation unit between metal type, so that annular water pipe is supported on heat insulation unit;The water inlet of the annular water pipe is connected with high-pressure sprayer by main water pipe, the annular water pipe is equipped with multiple annularly distributed nozzles, the direction of the nozzle spray is towards metal type;High-pressure sprayer is equipped with power switch and pressure knob, the power switch is used to control the opening and closing of spraying, the pressure knob is used to adjust water flow.
