Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of optical cable production equipment technology, and in particular to a cooling device in optical cable production. Background Technology
[0002] Optical fiber cable is a type of cable composed of multiple optical fibers and covered with a protective structure. It transmits optical signals by utilizing the principle of total internal reflection of light in optical fibers, and has advantages such as high transmission rate, large capacity, and strong anti-interference. It is widely used in communication, data transmission and other fields.
[0003] During the production of optical cables, processes such as wire drawing and extrusion generate a large amount of heat, causing the cable temperature to rise sharply. This not only affects the material properties but may also lead to dimensional deviations. Cooling is usually required to reduce the temperature, stabilize the material properties, and ensure the quality of the optical cable. The cooling device in optical cable production immerses the optical cable in cooling water to accelerate heat transfer. The excellent thermal conductivity of water quickly removes the heat, thereby rapidly cooling the optical cable to meet the temperature requirements of subsequent processes.
[0004] However, existing cooling devices in optical cable production have the following shortcomings:
[0005] In existing technologies, cooling devices in optical cable production typically cannot quickly cool the heat-absorbing cooling water and reuse it during the cooling process. Therefore, cooling water needs to be added frequently to maintain the cooling effect, resulting in a large waste of water resources and increased production costs.
[0006] Therefore, we propose a cooling device for optical cable production to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content
[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cooling device for optical cable production. By combining the driving force of the fan assembly with the spraying function of the spray assembly, the cold air can be made to flow from bottom to top in the processing box and have a deep heat exchange with the downward flowing cooling water. Furthermore, the metal corrugated plate can increase the contact area between the cooling water and the air, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a cooling device for optical cable production, comprising a cooling mechanism, wherein a circulation mechanism is provided on the outer wall of the cooling mechanism;
[0009] The circulation mechanism includes a processing box, with two exhaust fans fixedly installed on the top of the processing box.

A coarse filter screen is fixedly connected to the inner wall of one of the two sliding frames, and a fine filter screen is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the other of the two sliding frames. A handle is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of each of the two sliding frames. A wire mesh demister is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the processing box. A metal corrugated perforated plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the processing box.
[0010] Preferably, the outer wall of the treatment tank is fixedly connected to a connecting pipe, the output end of the connecting pipe is fixedly connected to a second water pump, and the output end of the second water pump is fixedly connected to a water inlet pipe.
[0011] Preferably, the cooling mechanism includes a support frame, a cooling box is fixedly connected to the top of the support frame, and two first guide wheels are fixedly installed on the top of the cooling box.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0017] 1. In this utility model, through the interaction of the cooling mechanism and the circulation mechanism, the driving force of the fan assembly is combined with the spraying function of the spray assembly to promote the upward flow of cold air in the processing box, which undergoes deep heat exchange with the downward flowing cooling water. Furthermore, the metal corrugated plate increases the contact area between the cooling water and the air, thereby achieving efficient cooling treatment of the cooling water.

[0024] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0025] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.
[0026] Example 1, as shown in the attached document Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 4 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a cooling device in optical cable production, including a cooling mechanism 1, and a circulation mechanism 2 is provided on the outer wall of the cooling mechanism 1;
[0027] The circulation mechanism 2 includes a processing box 201. Two exhaust fans 202 are fixedly installed on the top of the processing box 201. Four intake fans 203 are fixedly inserted into the inner wall of the processing box 201. Four spray pipes 204 are fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the processing box 201. A set of nozzles 205 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of each of the four spray pipes 204. A conveying pipe 206 is fixedly connected between the input ends of the four spray pipes 204. A first water pump 207 is fixedly connected to the input end of the conveying pipe 206. A water outlet pipe 208 is fixedly connected to the input end of the first water pump 207. A water valve 209 is provided on the inner wall of the water outlet pipe 208. Two sliding grooves 21 are opened on one side of the outer wall of the processing box 201. 0. Sliding frames 211 are slidably embedded in the inner walls of both sliding grooves 210. A coarse filter screen 212 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of one of the two sliding frames 211, and a fine filter screen 213 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the other sliding frame 211. A handle 214 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of both sliding frames 211. A wire mesh demister 215 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the treatment box 201. A metal corrugated perforated plate 216 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the treatment box 201. A connecting pipe 217 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the treatment box 201. A second water pump 218 is fixedly connected to the output end of the connecting pipe 217. A water inlet pipe 219 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second water pump 218.
[0028] The overall effect achieved in Embodiment 1 is as follows: During use, the used cooling water is pumped to four spray pipes 204 by the first water pump 207, and then evenly sprayed out in the form of a fine stream at four sets of nozzles 205. At this time, the coarse filter 212 can initially intercept larger impurity particles, while the fine filter 213 further filters out fine impurities, ensuring the cleanliness of the cooling water. At the same time, two exhaust fans 202 and four intake fans 203 are started. After the two exhaust fans 202 are started, they generate a suction effect, creating a negative pressure environment inside the treatment box 201. The four intake fans 203 draw in outside cold air into the treatment box 201, causing the air to flow from bottom to top inside the treatment box 201, forming a countercurrent contact with the downward-moving cooling water, thereby fully exchanging heat and effectively cooling the used cooling water. As the cooling water drips downwards, it will pass through... The metal corrugated perforated plate 216 is made of corrugated metal wire, which can effectively increase the contact area between cooling water and air, thereby further improving heat exchange efficiency. When the air that has exchanged heat is discharged through the two exhaust fans 202, it will pass through the wire mesh demister 215. The demister is made of fine wire mesh material, which can effectively capture water vapor in the air and prevent water loss caused by water vapor being discharged with the air. In this way, the used cooling water can be quickly and efficiently cooled and filtered to ensure that it meets the standard of recycling, thereby reducing the replacement cost of cooling water and effectively saving water resources. In addition, by pulling the two handles 214, the user can easily remove the two sliding brackets 211 to easily clean the coarse filter screen 212 and the fine filter screen 213, ensuring the continuous and efficient operation of the filtration system and extending the service life of the equipment.
[0029] Example 2, as Figure 2-4 As shown, the cooling mechanism 1 includes a support frame 101, a cooling box 102 fixedly connected to the top of the support frame 101, two first guide wheels 103 fixedly installed on the top of the cooling box 102, two mounting plates 104 fixedly installed on the top of the cooling box 102, and second guide wheels 105 fixedly installed on the bottom of each of the two mounting plates 104. Two sets of movable grooves 106 are formed on the outer wall of the cooling box 102, and bearings 107 are fixedly inserted into the inner wall of each of the two sets of movable grooves 106. The two sets of bearings 107 are internally fixedly connected. A stirring shaft 108 is fixedly inserted. Two mounting rings 109 are fixedly fitted on the outer wall of each set of stirring shafts 108. Three stirring blades 110 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of each set of mounting rings 109. Gears 111 are fixedly fitted on the outer wall of each set of stirring shafts 108. A drive motor 112 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of one of the stirring shafts 108. One side of the outer wall of the cooling box 102 is fixedly connected to the input end of the water outlet pipe 208. One side of the outer wall of the cooling box 102 is fixedly connected to the output end of the water inlet pipe 219.
[0030] The effect achieved by the entire embodiment 2 is as follows: During use, by starting the drive motor 112, the output end of the drive motor 112 can drive a stirring shaft 108 to rotate. Then, through the meshing transmission of a set of gears 111, the stirring shafts 108 rotate synchronously in opposite directions. The stirring shafts 108 can then drive the corresponding stirring blades 110 to perform efficient rotation and stirring, fully mixing and agitating the cooling water inside the cooling tank 102. This stirring action effectively promotes the heat exchange inside the cooling water, making the temperature distribution of the internal cooling water more uniform and avoiding the phenomenon of local excessively high or low temperatures. At the same time, this uniform temperature distribution ensures that the cooling water can continuously and stably provide the required cooling effect for the optical cable, thereby ensuring the operating efficiency and stability of the entire cooling system.
[0031] The working principle of the entire device is as follows: First, the device's power supply must be correctly connected to the external power supply to ensure a stable power supply to the internal electrical components and that they are in normal working order. Then, an appropriate amount of cooling water is injected into the cooling tank 102 to prepare for the cooling process of the optical cable. During transmission, the optical cable passes through the tops of the two first guide wheels 103 and the bottoms of the two second guide wheels 105, allowing the optical cable to be fully immersed in the cooling water, ensuring effective heat exchange between the optical cable and the cooling water. Next, the drive motor 112 is started. The output of the drive motor 112 drives a stirring shaft 108 to rotate. This stirring shaft 108, in turn, drives the gear 111 fixedly mounted on its outer wall to rotate. Due to a set of stirring... Gears 111 are fixedly fitted onto the outer walls of shafts 108, and the outer walls of a set of gears 111 mesh with each other. Therefore, the rotation of one gear 111 can drive a set of stirring shafts 108 to rotate synchronously in opposite directions. The set of stirring shafts 108 then drives the corresponding stirring blades 110 to rotate, thereby fully stirring the cooling water inside the cooling tank 102, making the temperature distribution of the cooling water more uniform. When the temperature of the cooling water inside the cooling tank 102 begins to rise, the operator first opens the water valve 209 and starts the first water pump 207. After the first water pump 207 starts, it pumps the used cooling water to the four spray pipes 204. Subsequently, under the action of the four sets of spray nozzles 205, the used cooling water is sprayed in a thin stream. The cooling water is sprayed evenly. At this time, the coarse filter 212 can initially filter out large particulate impurities in the cooling water, while the fine filter 213 further filters out fine impurities and particles, ensuring the cleanliness of the cooling water. At the same time, two exhaust fans 202 and four intake fans 203 are started. After the two exhaust fans 202 are started, a negative pressure effect is generated, creating a negative pressure environment inside the processing box 201. The four intake fans 203 draw in outside cold air into the processing box 201. This cold air flows from bottom to top inside the processing box 201, fully exchanging heat with the downward-moving cooling water, causing the cooling water temperature to drop rapidly. As the cooling water drips downwards, it passes through the metal corrugated plate 216. The design of plate 216 effectively increases the contact area between cooling water and air, thereby further enhancing the heat exchange effect. After heat exchange, the air exiting the treatment box 201 passes through the wire mesh demister 215. The wire mesh demister 215 can effectively capture water vapor in the air, avoiding waste of water resources. Finally, the cooled and filtered cooling water accumulates at the bottom of the treatment box 201. By starting the second water pump 218, the treated cooling water can be pumped back to the cooling box 102 through the water inlet pipe 219, realizing the recycling of cooling water. This method not only saves water resources, but also ensures that the cooling water inside the cooling box 102 is continuously maintained within a stable temperature range, thereby achieving a high-efficiency and continuous cooling effect.
[0032] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
