DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0032] Referring to Figures 1-3 The utility model provides an embodiment: a quick cooling device for fused quartz production, including cooling tank 1, cooling tank 1 top rotationally connected with cover plate 2, cooling tank 1 one side is connected with water inlet valve 4, and cooling tank 1 other side is connected with water outlet valve 3, and cooling tank 1 inside is provided with cooling assembly and cleaning assembly;

[0033] The cooling assembly comprises a plurality of stirring blocks 13 located inside the cooling tank 1 for generating water flow stirring effect by rotation, improving the uniformity of water flow inside the cooling tank 1, and further accelerating the cooling efficiency. The bottom of the cooling tank 1 is fixedly connected with a motor 7, which provides power for the cooling assembly and drives the support column 8 to rotate through the output rotary force, ensuring the normal operation of the stirring blocks 13 and realizing efficient circulation of water flow. The output end of the motor 7 is fixedly connected with the support column 8, which transmits the power of the motor 7 to the connecting ring 11 through its rotary action, thereby driving the stirring blocks 13 to rotate synchronously. The outer wall of the support column 8 is fixedly connected with the connecting ring 11, which fixes a plurality of stirring blocks 13 to ensure the synchronism and stability of the stirring action. The inside of the support column 8 is rotatably connected with the connecting column 9, which provides a stable fulcrum for the support cylinder 10 by flexible rotation, reduces mechanical friction, and improves the operating efficiency of the equipment. The top of the connecting column 9 is fixedly connected with the support cylinder 10, which is used to carry the fused quartz and optimize heat transfer during the cooling process. The top of the connecting ring 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the plurality of stirring blocks 13. The structural design of the connecting ring 11 ensures that the stirring blocks 13 are uniformly distributed when rotating, preventing the formation of cooling blind areas, enhancing the cooling effect. The outer wall of the cooling tank 1 is fixedly connected with the support frame 5, which provides stable support for the equipment and reduces vibration during operation through stable design. The bottom of the support frame 5 is fixedly connected with the bottom plate 6, which provides bearing support for the entire equipment and improves the operating stability. The top of the bottom plate 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the motor 7, further stabilizing the equipment operation. The top of the cover plate 2 is fixedly connected with the handle 17, which is used to conveniently open and close the cover plate 2, facilitating the operation of the operator during loading and unloading of the fused quartz, improving the convenience and safety of use.

[0034] Specifically, during the use of the equipment, first, open the cover plate 2, pour the fused quartz into the inside of the support cylinder 10, and ensure that the quartz material is safely placed and fully contacts with the cooling system. Then, start the motor 7, which drives the support column 8 to rotate through its output end. The rotary force of the support column 8 is further transmitted to the connecting ring 11, and the stirring blocks 13 fixedly connected to the top of the connecting ring 11 rotate accordingly. The revolution of the stirring blocks 13 forms a strong water flow stirring effect inside the cooling tank 1, and the water distribution in the cooling tank 1 is more uniform through accelerated water circulation. This water flow can significantly enhance the cooling effect and avoid the problem of low local cooling efficiency caused by uneven water temperature distribution during cooling. At the same time, the rapid flow of cooling water can timely remove the heat from the surface of the fused quartz in the support cylinder 10, forming a uniform and rapid cooling environment, thereby effectively improving the overall cooling efficiency of the equipment. This design not only accelerates the cooling speed of the fused quartz, but also avoids the problem of heat stress concentration during cooling, providing a strong guarantee for the stability of product quality.

[0035] Reference Figures 3-5The cleaning assembly comprises a plurality of cleaning plates 14 located inside the cooling tank 1, mainly used for cleaning the scale and impurities attached to the inner wall of the cooling tank 1, and ensuring that the inside of the cooling tank 1 remains clean. Each cleaning plate 14 is slidingly connected inside the stirring block 13, and the sliding design allows the cleaning plate 14 to adjust its position flexibly under the action of the stirring block 13 to adapt to the cleaning needs of different parts. A spring 15 is provided inside each stirring block 13, which is used to provide a rebound force to push the cleaning plate 14 tightly against the inner wall of the cooling tank 1, thereby enhancing the friction between the cleaning plate 14 and the inner wall and ensuring the cleaning effect. One end of the spring 15 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the stirring block 13 to ensure the stability of the spring 15 during operation, and the other end is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cleaning plate 14, so that the spring 15 can effectively transmit pressure and maintain the stable contact of the cleaning plate 14. A cleaning plate 12 is slidingly connected inside the connecting ring 11, which is connected to the connecting ring 11 by sliding, and can adjust its position flexibly during the operation of the cooling tank 1. The bottom of the cleaning plate 12 is in close contact with the bottom of the inner wall of the cooling tank 1, which is used to clean the deposits at the bottom of the cooling tank 1, and prevent the accumulation of impurities from affecting the cooling performance. A spring 16 is provided inside the connecting ring 11, which is used to push the cleaning plate 12 towards the bottom of the inner wall of the cooling tank 1 to ensure that the cleaning plate 12 is always tightly attached to the inner wall for cleaning operation. One end of the spring 16 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cleaning plate 12 to ensure the reliability of the spring 16 during operation, and the other end is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting ring 11, which realizes the automatic reset function of the cleaning plate 12 and further improves the working efficiency and stability of the cleaning assembly.

[0036] Specifically, during the operation of the device, the inner wall of the cooling tank 1 pushes the cleaning plate two 14 and the cleaning plate one 12 to move inward, so that the two cleaning plates gradually apply extrusion force to the inner wall of the cooling tank 1. At the same time, during the extrusion of the cleaning plate two 14 and the cleaning plate one 12, the spring one 15 and the spring two 16 are compressed, thereby accumulating elastic potential energy. Then, the rebounding force of the spring one 15 and the spring two 16 pushes the cleaning plate one 12 and the cleaning plate two 14 to tightly adhere to the inner wall surface of the cooling tank 1. In this way, it is ensured that the cleaning plate can form good contact with the inner wall of the cooling tank 1, thereby improving the coverage rate and cleaning efficiency of the attached matter during cleaning. At the same time, through the rotating force of the connecting ring 11, the cleaning plate two 14 and the cleaning plate one 12 are driven to rotate synchronously. During the rotation of the cleaning plate, friction is generated between the cleaning plate and the inner wall of the cooling tank 1, thereby effectively cleaning the scale and other deposits attached to the inner wall. During the cleaning process, the generated sewage and impurities are discharged outside the device through the water outlet valve 3, thereby ensuring the cleaning effect and normal operation of the cooling tank 1. This design not only greatly improves the cleaning efficiency of the device, but also avoids the complex operation of manual cleaning. Through the elastic force of the spring one 15 and the spring two 16, the cleaning plate can automatically adapt to the curvature and shape of the inner wall of the cooling tank 1, thereby improving the cleaning coverage. Combined with the rotating motion, the stubborn scale and impurities on the inner wall can be completely removed, thereby prolonging the service life of the device and ensuring the stability of the cooling performance.

[0037] Working principle: during the use of the device, open the cover plate 2, pour the molten quartz into the support cylinder 10, then start the motor 7, and drive the support column 8 to rotate by the output end of the motor 7. The rotating force of the support column 8 drives the stirring block 13 at the top of the connecting ring 11 to revolve, thereby stirring and flowing the water in the cooling tank 1, accelerating the cooling of the molten quartz in the support cylinder 10 through the flow of water, improving the cooling efficiency of the device. At the same time, the inner wall of the cooling tank 1 pushes the cleaning plate two 14 and the cleaning plate one 12 inward to be extruded, so that the spring one 15 and the spring two 16 are compressed. The rebounding force of the spring one 15 and the spring two 16 pushes the cleaning plate one 12 and the cleaning plate two 14 to tightly adhere to the inner wall of the cooling tank 1. The rotating force of the connecting ring 11 pushes the cleaning plate two 14 and the cleaning plate one 12 to rotate synchronously, thereby cleaning the scale attached to the inner wall of the cooling tank 1, and discharging the scale through the water outlet valve 3, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency of the device.

[0038] Finally, it should be noted that: the above only for the preferred embodiments of the present application, and is not intended to limit the present application, although the foregoing embodiments of the present application has been described in detail, for the skilled in the art, it still can be modified, or for part of the technical features of the equivalent replacement, the spirit and principles of the present application, made any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc., should be included within the scope of the present application.
