Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of copper tube rolling technology, and in particular to a novel three-roll planetary mill tube cooler. Background Technology

[0002] In the production of seamless copper tubes for air conditioning and communication cables, planetary rolling technology and three-roll planetary rolling mill equipment are commonly used. When rolling copper tubes with a three-roll planetary rolling mill, the copper tubes are at a high temperature and need to enter a cooling system for cooling after exiting the rolls.

[0003] Currently, most three-roll planetary rolling mill cooling systems are double-layer cooling systems, consisting of interconnected inner and outer cooling sleeves. The inner cooling sleeve includes an inlet water seal assembly, an inner cooling tube, an outlet water seal assembly, and an outlet guide sleeve. Both the front and rear water seal assemblies have inlet pipes, and the upper part of the inner cooling tube has an outlet hole. The outer cooling sleeve is fitted over the inner cooling sleeve, and the bottom of the outer cooling sleeve has an outlet hole. The principle of this cooling system is that the cooling tubes are filled with cooling water to prevent air from entering and thus preventing copper tube oxidation. The copper tubes are cooled as they pass through the cooling tubes.

[0004] Production practice has revealed that cooling water rapidly vaporizes upon contact with the copper pipe surface, forming a gas layer that hinders cooling and severely impacts the cooling effect. This also results in significant oxidation on the copper pipe surface. Furthermore, the inner cooling tube is typically made of hard stainless steel, and when the copper pipe passes through it, the bent portion easily scrapes against the inner wall of the water tank, causing surface damage. In severe cases, this can lead to product scrap, affecting both product quality and yield.

[0005] Therefore, through beneficial exploration and research, the applicant has found a solution to the above problems, and the technical solution to be introduced below is the result of this research. Utility Model Content

[0034] See Figures 1 to 4 The novel three-roll planetary mill tube cooler shown includes an inlet water seal assembly 100, a cooling pipe 200, a backflow water seal assembly 300, and an outlet water pipe 400.

[0035] The inlet water seal assembly 100 is installed on the mill cover and is used to allow copper pipes and cooling water to enter. In this embodiment, there are two inlet water seal assemblies 100, which are arranged symmetrically.

[0036] The cooling pipe 200 is installed on the inlet water seal assembly 100 and is used to create turbulent flow of cooling water. In this embodiment, the cooling pipe 200 is arranged behind the inlet water seal assembly 100, and the middle part of the cooling pipe 200 is a cavity structure for the copper pipe and cooling water to pass through.

[0037] The backwater seal assembly 300 is installed on the cooling pipe 200 and is used to allow copper pipe and cooling water to enter. In this embodiment, there are two backwater seal assemblies 300, and the two backwater seal assemblies 300 are arranged symmetrically.

[0038] The water outlet pipe 400 is installed on the backwater seal assembly 300. In this embodiment, the middle part of the water outlet pipe 400 is also a cavity structure to discharge copper pipe and cooling water.

[0039] The inlet water seal assembly 100 includes an inlet water seal housing 110, an inlet water seal guide nozzle 120 disposed on the inlet water seal housing 110, and an inlet adjusting nut 130 disposed between the inlet water seal housing 110 and the inlet water seal guide nozzle 120. Inlet water seal inlet pipes 140 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the inlet water seal housing 110. In this embodiment, one end of the inlet water seal guide nozzle 120 is an outer conical surface 120a, and the other end is a flared guide structure 120b for the copper pipe to enter. One end of the inlet adjusting nut 130 is an inner conical surface 130a with the same angle as the outer conical surface 120a, and the other end is a threaded surface 130b that is threadedly connected to the inlet water seal housing 110. The inlet adjusting nut 130 is provided with a positioning surface 131 that mates with the outer diameter surface of the inlet water seal guide nozzle 120, and the positioning surface 131 is provided with an inlet hole 131a for cooling water to enter.

[0040] A first adjustable water gap 10 is formed between the inner conical surface 130a and the outer conical surface 120a to allow cooling water to pass through. The first adjustable water gap 10 is inclined towards the cooling pipe 200, and the jet direction of the first adjustable water gap 10 makes an angle of 30 degrees with the horizontal line. When cooling water enters the inlet water seal assembly 100 through the inlet water seal inlet pipe 140, it passes through the inlet hole 131a and sprays out from the first adjustable water gap 10 into the cooling pipe 200.

[0041] The cooling pipe 200 includes a cooling pipe housing 210 disposed behind the inlet water seal housing 110 and several contraction sections 220 disposed on the inner wall of the cooling pipe housing 210. The inner diameter of the contraction sections 220 is smaller than the inner diameter of the inlet water seal nozzle 120. In this embodiment, there are four contraction sections 220. The four contraction sections can change the water flow velocity, forming turbulence and improving the cooling effect of the copper pipe. At the same time, the four contraction sections are made of materials with a lower hardness than the copper pipe to avoid damage to the copper pipe.

[0042] The backflow prevention water seal assembly 300 includes a backflow prevention water seal housing 310 disposed behind the cooling pipe housing 110, a backflow prevention inlet nozzle 320 disposed on the backflow prevention water seal housing 310, and a backflow prevention adjusting nut 330 disposed on the backflow prevention water seal housing 310. Backflow prevention water seal inlet pipes 340 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the backflow prevention water seal housing 310. In this embodiment, one end of the backflow prevention inlet nozzle 320 has an outer conical surface 320a, and the other end of the backflow prevention inlet nozzle 320 has a flared guide structure 320b for the copper pipe to enter. One end of the backflow prevention adjusting nut 330 has an inner conical surface 330a with the same angle as the outer conical surface 320a, and the other end of the backflow prevention adjusting nut 330 has a threaded surface 330b that is threadedly connected to the backflow prevention water seal housing 310.

[0043] A second adjustable water gap 20 is formed between the inner conical surface 330a and the outer conical surface 320a to allow cooling water to pass through. The second adjustable water gap 20 is inclined towards the cooling pipe 200, and the jet direction of the second adjustable water gap 20 makes an angle of 60 degrees with the horizontal line. When cooling water enters the backwater seal assembly 2 from the backwater seal inlet pipe 340, it is sprayed out from the second adjustable water gap 20 and enters the cooling pipe 200.

[0044] The water outlet pipe 400 includes a water outlet pipe housing 410 disposed behind the backwater seal housing 310 and a guide sleeve 420 disposed on the inner wall of the water outlet pipe housing 410. In this embodiment, the guide sleeve 420 is made of a material with a hardness lower than that of copper pipe, and one end of the guide sleeve 420 has a flared guide structure. The inner diameter of the guide sleeve 420 is smaller than the inner diameter of the backwater inlet nozzle 320.

[0045] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0046] Cooling water enters through the inlet water seal inlet pipe 140 and the backwater water seal inlet pipe 340 of the inlet water seal assembly 100 and the backwater water seal assembly 300, filling the cooling pipe 200 and flowing out through the outlet pipe 400. The cooling water fills the cooling pipe 200 and forms turbulence, thereby breaking the gas layer on the surface of the copper pipe, strengthening the effective contact between the cooling water and the copper pipe, and improving the cooling effect. At the same time, the hardness of the several contraction sections 220 and the guide sleeve 420 that are in contact with the copper pipe is lower than that of the copper pipe, preventing the surface of the copper pipe from being damaged by impact.

Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values. It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters in the following drawings denote similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it need not be further discussed in subsequent drawings.

[0048] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by directional terms such as "front, back, up, down, left, right", "horizontal, vertical, horizontal" and "top, bottom" is usually based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description. Unless otherwise stated, these directional terms do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of protection of this application; the directional terms "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours relative to the outline of each component itself.

[0049] For ease of description, spatial relative terms such as "above," "on top of," "on the upper surface of," "above," etc., are used herein to describe the spatial positional relationship of a device or feature as shown in the figures to other devices or features. It should be understood that spatial relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations in use or operation beyond the orientation of the device as described in the figures.

Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below." The device may also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatial relative descriptions used herein will be interpreted accordingly.

[0050] Furthermore, it should be noted that the use of terms such as "first" and "second" to define components is merely for the purpose of distinguishing the corresponding components. Unless otherwise stated, the above terms have no special meaning and therefore cannot be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this application.

[0051] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
