Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of injection molding machine technology, and in particular to an injection molding machine brake resistor heat dissipation and cooling structure. Background Technology
[0002] The braking resistor in an injection molding machine plays a crucial role in slowing down or stopping the machine during operation, making it an essential electrical component. Its main function is to convert the regenerative electrical energy generated during motor braking into heat energy, thus helping the motor stop quickly and smoothly. Specifically, when the motor stops rapidly, the braking resistor converts the regenerative electrical energy generated by the rapid stopping into heat energy, preventing electrical energy feedback to the power grid and causing voltage fluctuations, ensuring stable power grid operation, protecting the motor and frequency converter, and guaranteeing the normal operation of the injection molding machine. Existing braking resistors generate a large amount of heat, causing the machine surface temperature to reach over 90℃, exceeding the human contact temperature requirement of (64±11)℃. Therefore, a larger braking resistor is needed. This braking resistor is installed inside the machine frame, but the internal space of an injection molding machine is compact. An excessively large braking resistor would occupy a significant amount of space and generate considerable heat, affecting the lifespan of surrounding components. Therefore, the performance requirements of the components surrounding the braking resistor must be correspondingly increased. Utility Model Content

Then, the three cooling plates are connected in series by connecting pipes to cool the braking resistor. The hot oil after passing through the cooling plate is pumped to the plate cooler through the motor pump unit via pipeline for cooling, completing the entire cooling process.

The output terminal of the motor pump assembly is connected to the oil input terminal of the cooler. The oil output terminal of the cooler is connected to the oil input terminal of the second cooling component and the oil input terminal of the oil tank.
[0006] To address the issue of how the second cooling assembly can efficiently cool the braking resistor, the second cooling assembly further includes several cooling plates with cavities, and the cooling plates are fixedly connected to the braking resistor end face on their respective sides.
[0007] When there is only one cooling plate, the oil inlet of the cooling plate is connected to the oil outlet of the first cooling component, and the oil outlet of the cooling plate is connected to the oil inlet of the first cooling component.
[0008] When there are at least two cooling plates, the oil inlet of the first cooling plate is connected to the oil outlet of the first cooling component, the two cooling plates are connected by a connecting pipe, and the oil outlet of the last cooling plate is connected to the oil inlet of the first cooling component.
[0009] To address the issue of improving the cooling efficiency of the second cooling component, the system further includes an input port and an output port arranged opposite each other on the same cooling plate.
[0010] The device further includes a braking resistor comprising a housing and a resistor body disposed within the housing, the resistor body and the housing being fixedly connected, and three cooling plates disposed on the top surface and left and right end faces of the housing, respectively.
[0011] To address the issue of improving the cooling efficiency of braking resistors, a further step is to have cooling pipes wound around the resistor body.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The injection molding machine brake resistor heat dissipation and cooling structure provided by this utility model utilizes the oil cooled by the first cooling component after cooling the oil in the injection molding machine through the design of the second cooling component. After cooling, 90% of the oil returns to the oil tank, realizing the cooling of the hydraulic oil of the injection molding machine. After cooling, 10% of the oil enters the cooling plate. Then, the three cooling plates are connected in series by connecting pipes to cool the brake resistor. The hot oil after passing through the cooling plate is pumped to the plate cooler through the motor pump unit through the pipeline for cooling, completing the entire cooling process.

The first cooling component 3 is used to provide cooling for the oil. The second cooling component 4 is arranged on the braking resistor 1. The second cooling component 4 is used for... To provide cooling for the braking resistor 1, the design of the second cooling component 4 utilizes the oil cooled by the first cooling component 3 in the injection molding machine. After cooling, 90% of the oil returns to the oil tank, thus cooling the hydraulic oil of the injection molding machine. After cooling, 10% of the oil enters the cooling plate. Then, the three cooling plates 41 are connected in series by the connecting pipe 42 to cool the braking resistor 1. The hot oil after passing through the cooling plate 41 is pumped to the plate cooler 13 through the motor pump group 31 via the pipeline for cooling, completing the entire cooling process.
[0023] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the first cooling component 3 includes a motor pump set 31 and a cooler 32. The oil output end of the oil tank 2 and the oil output end of the second cooling component 4 are connected to the input end of the motor pump set 31. The output end of the motor pump set 31 is connected to the oil input end of the cooler 32. The oil output end of the cooler 32 is connected to the oil input end of the second cooling component 4 and the oil input end of the oil tank 2. The cooler 32 is a plate cooler. The motor pump set 31 is a pump set composed of oil pumps. The motor pump set 31 is used to transport oil. The cooler 32 has a cooling medium inlet 321 and a cooling medium outlet 322. The cooler 32 has a tube side and a shell side. Oil is input into the shell side through a pipe and output through another pipe. The cooling medium inlet 321 and the cooling medium outlet 322 are connected to the tube side. The cooling medium inlet 321 and the cooling medium outlet 322 are used for the input and output of cooling medium. In the cooler 32, the cooling medium and oil can exchange heat, thereby achieving the cooling of the oil.

[0031] The oil cooled by the first cooling component 3 is utilized. After cooling by the cooler 32, 90% of the oil returns to the oil tank 2, thus cooling the hydraulic oil of the injection molding machine. After cooling by the cooler 32, 10% of the oil enters the cooling plate 41. Then, the three cooling plates 41 are connected in series by the connecting pipe 42 to cool the braking resistor 1. The hot oil after passing through the cooling plate 41 is pumped to the plate cooler 13 through the motor pump group 31 via the pipeline for cooling, thus completing the entire cooling process.
