DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantage of the utility model embodiment more clear, the utility model technical scheme will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the embodiment.

[0020] EMBODIMENT

[0021] As shown in the whole schematic diagram of the waste heat recovery cooling bin in the embodiment, Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown in the cross section structure schematic diagram of the heat exchange component in the embodiment, Figure 1 As shown in the whole schematic diagram of the waste heat recovery cooling bin in the embodiment, Figure 2 As shown in the cross section structure schematic diagram of the heat exchange component in the embodiment,

[0022] The device comprises:

[0023] The bin body 10 comprises a plurality of independent cooling chambers 11, and the top of the bin body 10 is provided with a gas conveying main pipe 22 communicated with the cooling chambers 11.

[0024] The heat exchange assembly 30 includes an induced draft fan 23. The air inlet of the induced draft fan 23 is connected to the main air supply pipe 22, and the air outlet of the induced draft fan 23 is connected to a housing 31. A U-shaped bend 32 is installed inside the housing 31. One end of the U-shaped bend 32 is connected to the air outlet of the induced draft fan 23, and the other end of the U-shaped bend 32 extends through the housing 31 to the outside.

[0025] The liquid medium is stored inside the box 31, and the airflow inside the U-shaped bend 32 exchanges heat with the liquid medium.

[0026] Each cooling chamber 11 is used to contain the high-temperature casting that has just come out of the casting process. In this embodiment, the number of cooling chambers 11 is set to four. The main air supply pipe 22 is connected to each cooling chamber 11 and is used to collect the high-temperature air emitted from the casting and flowing upward.

[0027] The induced draft fan 23 is installed after the main air supply pipe 22. It is responsible for drawing the high-temperature air collected in each cooling chamber 11 and guiding it to the heat exchange component 30. Specifically, the air is introduced into the U-shaped bend 32 inside the housing 31, while the outside of the U-shaped bend 32 is the liquid medium (such as water or a specific type of heat transfer oil) stored in the housing 31. In this way, the heat in the air can be effectively transferred to the liquid, thereby realizing the recovery and utilization of heat.

[0028] After heat exchange, the high-temperature air cools down and is eventually discharged into the atmosphere, or it can be discharged after certain filtration treatment. The heated liquid can be used in other industrial processes according to actual needs, such as preheating water, providing domestic hot water, or driving steam generators, thereby achieving the purpose of energy conservation and emission reduction.

[0029] Furthermore, the outer casing 31 is fitted with an insulation sleeve 40.

[0030] The insulation jacket 40 can reduce heat loss from the outer wall of the enclosure 31 to the surrounding environment.

[0031] like Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 The diagram shown is a schematic representation of the layers of the insulation sleeve in the embodiment;

[0032] The insulation jacket 40 includes, from the inside out, a reflective layer 41, an insulation layer 42, and a protective layer 43.

[0033] The reflective layer 41 is tightly attached to the surface of the box 31. The reflective layer 41 is mainly used to reduce heat radiation loss and improve the overall heat preservation effect by reflecting heat back into the box 31. The material of the reflective layer 41 can be a high reflectivity material such as aluminum foil or metallized polyester film.

[0034] The main function of the thermal insulation layer 42 is to prevent heat loss through conduction and convection. The thermal insulation layer 42 is made of high-efficiency insulation materials such as polyurethane foam (PU), rock wool, glass wool, or aerogel felt.

[0035] The main purpose of the protective layer 43 is to protect the internal thermal insulation layer 42 from external environmental factors such as mechanical damage, ultraviolet radiation, and moisture erosion. The material of the protective layer 43 includes stainless steel sheet, galvanized steel sheet, aluminum alloy sheet, or weather-resistant plastic.

[0036] As shown in Figure 2 , Figure 2 The cross-sectional structure of the heat exchange assembly in the embodiment is shown.

[0037] The tank 31 is provided with a water inlet pipe 311 and a water outlet pipe 312 that communicate with the inside of the tank 31. The water inlet pipe 311 is arranged at the top of the tank 31, and the water outlet pipe 312 is arranged at the bottom of the tank 31.

[0038] The water inlet pipe 311 and the water outlet pipe 312 are used to introduce and discharge liquid media in the tank 31. Valves that function as control switches are arranged on the water inlet pipe 311 and the water outlet pipe 312.

[0039] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 1 The overall schematic diagram of the waste heat recovery cooling bin in the embodiment is shown.

[0040] The cooling chamber 11 is open at the front side, and each cooling chamber 11 is provided with a support frame 12 for holding the casting at the lower part. The upper part of the cooling chamber 11 is provided with a baffle 13 at the front side.

[0041] The upper part of the cooling chamber 11 is provided with a gas delivery branch pipe 21, and the other end of the gas delivery branch pipe 21 communicates with a gas delivery main pipe 22.

[0042] The front side of each cooling chamber 11 is designed to be open, which facilitates the operator to put or take out the high-temperature casting into or out of the cooling chamber 11. The support frame 12 is arranged at the lower part of the cooling chamber 11, which not only provides stable support for the casting but also allows air (or other cooling medium) to flow under the casting, thereby enhancing the cooling effect. Specifically, the support frame 12 can be adjusted according to the size and shape of the casting to adapt to different production needs.

[0043] The baffle 13 located at the upper front side of the cooling chamber 11 helps to ensure that air can be more effectively collected and discharged to the gas delivery main pipe 22 through the gas delivery branch pipe 21.

[0044] Working principle: high temperature castings are placed on the support frame 12 in the cooling chamber 11, and are naturally cooled or accelerated cooling by forced ventilation, etc., as the castings cool, start the air blower 23, the high temperature air generated in the cooling chamber 11 is guided by the baffle 13, and is transported to the gas supply main pipe 22 through the gas supply branch pipe 21, and then is sent into the U-shaped bend pipe 32 in the box 31, the high temperature air in the U-shaped bend pipe 32 is indirectly contacted with the liquid medium (such as water) in the box 31 for heat exchange, so that the liquid is heated, and the air is cooled and discharged.

[0045] The heated liquid can be discharged from the box 31 through the water outlet pipe 312 for other industrial processes or domestic use, realizing effective utilization of waste heat.

[0046] The above examples are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, and are not limited thereto.
