Even with the accumulation of a certain amount of dirt, the flow channels remain unobstructed, preventing blockages. Attached Figure Description

[0028] To explain in detail the technical content, structural features, achieved objectives and effects of this application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0029] In this application, spatial relative terms such as “below,” “under,” “below,” “down,” “above,” “above,” “higher,” and “side” (e.g., as in a “sidewall”) are used to describe the relationship between one element and another element as shown in the accompanying drawings. Spatial relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use, operation, and / or manufacture other than those depicted in the drawings. For example, if the device in the drawings is flipped, an element described as “below” or “under” another element or feature would then be positioned “above” said other element or feature. Thus, the exemplary term “below” can include both above and below orientations. Furthermore, the device may be otherwise positioned (e.g., rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), thus interpreting the spatial relative descriptive terms used herein accordingly.
[0030] In this application, unless otherwise specified, the term "axial" refers to the direction of the axis of the rapid cooling roller; the term "nested" means that at least part of one component is located inside another component; the term "fixed connection" means that two components are connected in a relatively fixed manner, either directly or indirectly through a third component; and the term "outer diameter" is used.
[0031] In this application, unless otherwise specified, the terms "inner wall surface", "outer wall surface" and "radial end face" of the hollow tube body refer to the circumferential wall surface of the hollow tube body on the side closer to the axis, the circumferential wall surface on the side farther from the axis, and the radial end face located at the outermost point of the hollow tube body in the axial direction, respectively.
[0032] This utility model provides a rapid cooling roller 100 for sheet forming, which can calender and draw high-temperature sheets while simultaneously cooling them. Figure 1 As shown, the rapid cooling roller 100 defines a centerline Y and a fluid path for cooling water flow (not shown in the figure). The rapid cooling roller 100 also has an axially extending inner liner (not shown in the figure), an inlet end cap 2 and an outlet end cap 3 fixedly connected to the inner liner from both axial sides, an inlet shaft head 4 and an outlet shaft head 5 fixedly connected to the inlet end cap 2 and the outlet end cap 3, and an outer cylinder 6 defined between the inlet end cap 2 and the outlet end cap 3. An intermediate flow channel 73 for cooling water flow is formed between the outer cylinder 6 and the inner liner.
[0033] The inner container is the main body of the rapid cooling roller 100, which can provide support for other components including the outer cylinder 6. The inner container of the present embodiment is in the form of a barrel structure, which includes an axially extending tube body 11 and radially extending water inlet flange 12 and water outlet flange 13 fixedly connected to both sides of the tube body 11 respectively. The tube body 11 has an axially extending water inlet end and a water outlet end, the water inlet end protrudes axially outward relative to the water inlet flange 12 and forms a water inlet surrounding edge (not marked in the figure), and the water outlet end protrudes axially outward relative to the water outlet flange 13 and forms a water outlet surrounding edge (not marked in the figure).
[0034] The tube body 11 of the present embodiment is made of a thick-walled seamless steel pipe to increase the overall rigidity of the rapid cooling roller 100 and reduce the deflection deformation of the roller.
[0035] Further, the inner container further includes a support flange 14 fixedly connected to the inside of the tube body 11 at the middle position, which radially extends and has a central hole (not marked in the figure). The support flange 14 is used to increase the structural strength of the tube body 11 to avoid radial deformation of the tube body 11.
[0036] In other embodiments, the inner container can also have other structures, such as a sleeve structure with a double-layer hollow tube body, as long as the water inlet flange, the water outlet flange, the water inlet surrounding edge and the water outlet surrounding edge are formed on the inner container.
[0037] In combination with Figure 2 The water inlet end cover 2 has a mounting hole (not marked in the figure) for connecting the water inlet shaft head 4, and the outer wall of the water inlet end cover 2 forms a first step structure. The first step structure has a first outer circumferential surface (not marked in the figure) contacting the inner wall surface of the water inlet surrounding edge of the tube body 11 and a first radial surface (not marked in the figure) contacting the radial end surface of the water inlet surrounding edge of the tube body 11.

The water inlet surrounding edge has a plurality of radial through-flow passages 15, each of which is in fluid communication with the water inlet cavity 72. The water inlet cavity 72 has a larger fluid space, which can increase the fluid flow while avoiding dirt from blocking the connection between the water inlet flow passage 71 and the intermediate flow passage 73, thereby ensuring smooth fluid flow.

[0039] The water inlet end cover 2 of the present embodiment is fixed to the tube body 11 by welding. In other embodiments, the water inlet end cover can be fixed to the tube body by various ways such as bolt connection, threaded connection, etc. as long as the water inlet end cover and the inner container can form a transition cavity.
[0040] Similarly, in combination with Figure 3 The water outlet end cover 3 is provided with a mounting hole (not shown in the figure) for connecting the water outlet shaft head 5, and the outer wall of the water outlet end cover 3 is formed with a second stepped structure. The second stepped structure has a second outer circumferential surface (not shown in the figure) contacting the inner wall surface of the water outlet surrounding edge and a second radial surface (not shown in the figure) contacting the radial end surface of the water outlet surrounding edge. The water outlet end cover 3, the water outlet flange and the water outlet surrounding edge together define a water outlet cavity 74 in which cooling water can flow. The second end of the pipe body 11 is provided with a plurality of radial through-flow passages 16, and each flow passage outlet 16 is in fluid communication with the water outlet cavity 74. The water outlet cavity 74 has a larger fluid space, which can increase the fluid flow while avoiding dirt from blocking the connection between the water outlet flow passage 75 and the intermediate flow passage 73, ensuring smooth fluid flow.
[0041] Each of the above flow passage outlets 16 is a waist-shaped hole to maximize the flow of the flow passage outlet 16 while ensuring the strength of the first end.
[0042] The water outlet end cover 3 of the embodiment is fixed to the pipe body 11 by welding. In other embodiments, the water outlet end cover can be fixed to the pipe body by various means such as bolt connection, threaded connection, etc., provided that the water outlet end cover and the inner container can form a transition cavity.
[0043] The water inlet shaft head 4 is fixedly installed in the mounting hole of the water inlet end cover 2. The water inlet shaft head 4 is provided with a water inlet flow passage 71 for cooling water to flow into the quick cooling roller 100, and the water inlet flow passage 71 is in fluid communication with the above-mentioned water inlet cavity 72.

[0044] Further, the water inlet flow passage 71 includes a first constant diameter section away from the water inlet cavity 72 and a diameter expanding section close to the water inlet cavity 72. The first constant diameter section of the water inlet flow passage 71 has a constant inner diameter, and the diameter expanding section of the water inlet flow passage 71 has an inner diameter that continuously expands in the direction towards the water inlet cavity 72. The provision of the diameter expanding section expands the space of the water inlet flow passage 71, avoiding the complete blockage of the water inlet flow passage by dirt attached thereto.
[0045] Similarly, the water outlet shaft head 5 is fixedly installed in the mounting hole of the water outlet end cover 3. The water outlet shaft head 5 is provided with a water outlet flow passage 75 for cooling water to flow out of the quick cooling roller 100, and the water outlet flow passage 75 is in fluid communication with the above-mentioned water outlet cavity 74. The water outlet shaft head 5 and the water outlet end cover 3 can be fixedly connected by welding, fastener connection, threaded connection, etc.
[0046] The water outlet channel 75 includes a second constant diameter section away from the water outlet cavity 74 and a reduced diameter section close to the water outlet cavity 74. The second constant diameter section of the water outlet channel 75 has a constant inner diameter, and the reduced diameter section of the water outlet channel 75 has a continuously reduced inner diameter in a direction away from the water outlet cavity 74. The reduced diameter section is used to increase the flow rate of the cooling water to flush away dirt formed on the water outlet channel 75.
[0047] The outer wall surface of the inner container is fixedly provided with a helical member 17 extending in a helical shape with the axis Y as the generatrix. The intermediate channel 73 is formed by the inner wall of the outer cylinder 6, the pipe body 11 and the helical member 17, and extends axially in a helical shape defined by the above three. The cross-sectional area of the intermediate channel 73 is configured to gradually decrease in a direction from the water inlet end to the water outlet end, so as to gradually increase the flow rate of the cooling water and ensure that the cooling capacity of the rapid cooling roller 100 in the axial direction does not decrease significantly. The outer diameter of the water inlet end of the inner container is greater than the outer diameter of the water outlet end. The outer cutting surface of the helical member 17 forms a taper in the range of 1:160-1:250.
