Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of casting cooling devices, specifically a novel casting cooling device. Background Technology

[0002] In the casting industry, the cooling process of castings has a crucial impact on the quality, performance, and production efficiency of castings. The cooling process directly determines the microstructure and macroscopic properties of castings, such as hardness, strength, and toughness. If the cooling is uneven or the cooling rate is inappropriate, it may lead to defects such as deformation, cracks, and shrinkage cavities in the castings, reducing the pass rate and service life of the castings and increasing production costs.

[0003] In actual use, the lack of an optimized air duct structure prevents air from flowing along a reasonable path, which may create turbulence or local dead zones within the device. This leads to increased airflow resistance, making it difficult for fresh air to enter quickly and make full contact with the castings, and hot air cannot be discharged in time. As a result, the overall air renewal speed is slow, and the cooling efficiency is greatly reduced. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a novel casting cooling device that further enhances airflow speed through the installation of an exhaust fan. The rapidly flowing air can more quickly remove heat from the casting surface, accelerating the heat dissipation process. The exhaust duct discharges the hot air to the outside of the device, preventing hot air from accumulating inside and ensuring the stability of the cooling environment, thereby significantly improving the cooling efficiency of the casting.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, a novel casting cooling device is provided, comprising: two fixed plates, each fixedly connected to two connecting blocks, and a first air duct fixedly connected to each connecting block. The first air duct contains several first air inlet pipes, each of which communicates with the upper surface of the first air duct. Each connecting block contains an air outlet slot. Two exhaust fans are mounted on the sidewalls of the two fixed plates, with their input ends communicating with the interior of the air outlet slots.

The conveyor belt has several sieve holes inside, and the interior of each sieve hole is connected to the inner and outer surfaces of the conveyor belt. The rotating roller drives the conveyor belt to transport the casting, and the sieve holes facilitate air circulation, improving the uniformity of casting cooling.

[0009] According to the novel casting cooling device, protective frames and control boxes are fixedly connected to the side walls of both fixed plates. A second air duct is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the protective frame. Two fan housings are installed inside the second air duct, and the interiors of the two fan housings are connected to the interiors of the second air duct and the protective frame. The protective frame and fan housings protect the internal components, the control box facilitates operation, and the second air duct provides conditions for secondary cooling.

[0010] According to the novel casting cooling device, positioning blocks are fixedly connected to the upper surfaces of both fan housings.

[0011] According to the novel casting cooling device, two second air inlet pipes are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the second air duct, and the interiors of the two second air inlet pipes are connected to the interior of the second air duct. Two support legs are fixed to the lower surface of each of the two fixed plates. The two air inlet pipes introduce fresh air, and the support legs stabilize the device to ensure the smooth progress of the cooling process.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] This invention comprises a connecting block, a first air duct, a first air inlet pipe, an air outlet slot, an exhaust fan, and an exhaust pipe, with the exhaust fan further enhancing the airflow speed.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-5This utility model provides a technical solution: a novel casting cooling device, comprising: two fixing plates 1, each fixedly connected to two connecting blocks 13, which provide an installation base for the connecting blocks 13, ensuring the stability of the entire structure and creating conditions for the installation of subsequent components such as air ducts; a first air duct 10 is fixedly connected between each of the two connecting blocks 13, supporting and fixing the first air duct 10, ensuring its fixed position and providing a stable channel for airflow; several first air inlet pipes 11 are provided inside the first air duct 10, each connected to the upper surface of the first air duct 10, providing integrated space for the first air inlet pipes 11, allowing outside air to pass through. The first air inlet pipe 11 enters the first air duct 10 to collect and transport air. Both connecting blocks 13 have air outlet slots 12 inside. The connecting blocks 13 provide a carrier for the opening of the air outlet slots 12. The air outlet slots 12 can guide the air in the first air duct 10 to the subsequent exhaust equipment, playing a role in transitioning and guiding airflow. Two exhaust fans 3 are installed on the side walls of the two fixed plates 1. The input ends of the two exhaust fans 3 are connected to the inside of the air outlet slots 12. The fixed plates 1 provide installation positions for the exhaust fans 3. The exhaust fans 3 generate suction by communicating with the air outlet slots 12 to draw the air in the first air duct 10 out through the air outlet slots 12, realizing the flow and circulation of air. The output ends of the two exhaust fans 3 are fixedly connected to the air outlet pipes 4. After the exhaust fans 3 draw out the air, the air outlet pipes 4 are used to discharge the air to a designated location to ensure orderly air discharge and avoid adverse effects on the surrounding environment.

[0024] There are four connecting blocks 13 and two air outlet slots 12. The reasonable layout of the four connecting blocks 13 provides suitable space for the two air outlet slots 12, allowing the air outlet slots 12 to better cooperate with the first air duct 10 and the exhaust fan 3 to achieve effective air delivery. Two drive motors 9 are fixedly connected to the side walls of the two fixed plates 1. The output ends of the two drive motors 9 are fixedly connected to the second rotating column 21. The fixed plates 1 provide fixed support for the drive motors 9. The drive motors 9 drive the second rotating column 21 to rotate through their output ends, providing power for the subsequent movement of the conveyor belt 7. A rotating roller 22 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the second rotating column 21. The second rotating column 21 drives the rotating roller 22 to rotate, and the rotating roller 22 acts as the moving conveyor belt 7. The transmission components transmit the power of the drive motor 9 to the conveyor belt 7, enabling it to operate normally. The outer surface of the rotating roller 22 is rolledly connected to the conveyor belt 7. The rotating roller 22 drives the conveyor belt 7 to move by rolling. The conveyor belt 7 is used to transport the castings, realizing the movement of the castings in the cooling device for easy cooling treatment. Several sieve holes 8 are opened inside the conveyor belt 7. The sieve holes 8 on the conveyor belt 7 facilitate air circulation during the transportation of castings, so that the upper and lower surfaces of the castings can contact the flowing air, improving the cooling effect. Moreover, the interior of each sieve hole 8 is connected to the inner and outer surfaces of the conveyor belt 7. The sieve holes 8 ensure the rationality and necessity of air circulation. The side walls of the two fixed plates 1 are fixedly connected to the protective frame 5 and the control box 6. The fixed plate 1 is the protective frame. The protective frame 5 and control box 6 provide installation positions. The protective frame 5 protects the internal equipment, and the control box 6 controls the operation of the entire cooling device, ensuring stable and safe operation. A second air duct 14 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the protective frame 5, providing support for the second air duct 14 and allowing it to be stably installed in a suitable position, providing a channel for airflow. Two fan housings 15 are installed inside the second air duct 14, providing installation space for them. The fan housings 15 protect internal equipment such as the rotating motor 16 from damage by external factors. The interiors of both fan housings 15 are connected to the interiors of the second air duct 14 and the protective frame 5, ensuring that outside air flows freely within them. To quickly replenish the fan housings, positioning blocks 17 are fixedly connected to the upper surfaces of both fan housings 15. A rotating motor 16 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of each positioning block 17. The fan housings 15 provide fixed support for the rotating motor 16 via the positioning blocks 17, ensuring the stable position of the rotating motor 16 and enabling its normal operation. A first rotating column 18 is fixedly connected to the output end of the rotating motor 16. The rotating motor 16 drives the first rotating column 18 to rotate, providing power for the rotation of the fan blades 19, enabling the fan blades 19 to generate airflow. Four fan blades 19 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the first rotating column 18. The first rotating column 18 drives the fan blades 19 to rotate, and the rotation of the fan blades 19 generates airflow, accelerating the airflow within the second air duct 14 and providing additional airflow for casting cooling.Two second air inlet pipes 20 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the second air duct 14. The interiors of the two second air inlet pipes 20 are connected to the interior of the second air duct 14. The second air duct 14 provides a channel for connection and air circulation for the second air inlet pipes 20. The second air inlet pipes 20 are used to introduce outside air into the second air duct 14, increasing the air supply. Two support legs 2 are fixed to the lower surface of each of the two fixed plates 1. The fixed plates 1 support the entire cooling device through the support legs 2, enabling the device to be placed stably on the ground and ensuring the stability of the device during operation.

[0025] Working Principle: First, place the cooling device in a suitable position, with support legs 2 ensuring stability. Connect the power supply to the control box 6, start the control box 6 to power the entire device, and the control box 6 starts the two drive motors 9. The output of the drive motors 9 drives the second rotating column 21 to rotate, and the rotating roller 22 on the outer surface of the second rotating column 21 rotates accordingly, thereby driving the conveyor belt 7 to start running. Place the casting to be cooled on the conveyor belt 7, and the casting moves with the conveyor belt 7. Since the conveyor belt 7 has several sieve holes 8 inside, it is conducive to air circulation. Start the relevant system of the first air duct 10, and outside air enters the first air duct 10 through the first air inlet pipe 11. Then, the air is drawn in by the exhaust fans 3 set on the side walls of the two fixed plates 1 through the air outlet slot 12, and then discharged through the air outlet pipe 4, realizing air circulation and initial cooling of the casting. Start the relevant system of the second air duct 14, and outside air enters the second air duct 14 through the second air inlet pipe 20. Simultaneously, the rotating motor 16 is started, and its output drives the first rotating column 18 to rotate. The four fan blades 19 on the outer surface of the first rotating column 18 rotate accordingly, generating airflow and accelerating the airflow within the second air duct 14, further enhancing the cooling effect on the casting. The casting continues to move on the conveyor belt 7, gradually cooling under the synergistic cooling effect of the first air duct 10 and the second air duct 14. Operators can monitor the cooling device's operating status in real time through the control box 6, adjusting the operating parameters of each component according to the casting's cooling progress. When the casting moves to the designated position with the conveyor belt 7 and cooling is complete, the operator removes the cooled casting, completing the entire cooling process.

[0026] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
