AI Technical Summary
In the current cable production process, directly immersing the cable in a cooling water tank can cause rapid cooling of the plastic extrusion layer, generating internal stress and leading to cracking.
A cooling system combining air and water cooling is used. The cable temperature is gradually reduced by circulating cooling water in the conveyor rollers and blowing air through the air blower, avoiding rapid cooling.
This effectively avoids the risk of cable breakage due to temperature stress, achieves uniform and rapid cooling of the cable, and ensures that the cable adapts to a lower temperature before entering the cold water cooling pool.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cable cooling technology, specifically to a cooling device for cable production and processing. Background Technology
[0002] Cables are typically composed of several or groups of conductors; Definition 1: A conductor made of one or more mutually insulated conductors and an outer insulating protective layer, used to transmit electricity or information from one place to another; Definition 2: A cable is typically a rope-like cable made of several or groups of conductors (at least two conductors per group) twisted together, with each group of conductors insulated from each other and often twisted around a central core, and the entire cable is covered with a highly insulating outer layer; Cables are characterized by being internally energized and externally insulated; Cooling is required during the cable manufacturing process.
[0003] In the existing cable production process, the cable is transported to a cooling water tank by conveyor rollers, where the cooling water in the tank cools the cable.
[0004] While the above equipment can cool the cable, direct immersion of the cable in cooling water can cause residual internal stress within the extruded plastic layer, which is not suitable for rapid cooling. This can lead to cracking of the outer surface of the plastic. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a cooling device for cable production and processing, which can avoid the risk of cable breaking due to temperature stress.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a cooling device for cable production and processing, including a cooling pool. Mounting seats are provided on both sides of the upper surface of the cooling pool, and the mounting seats are fixed to the cooling pool by welding. A conveying roller is rotatably mounted between the mounting seats, and the conveying roller can rotate on the mounting seats. Two conveying rollers are provided at the bottom of the cooling pool, and the conveying rollers can rotate inside the cooling pool. The conveying rollers are hollow inside. Four support columns are provided at the bottom of the cooling pool, and the support columns are fixed to the cooling pool by welding. Fixing plates are provided on the four support columns, and the fixing plates are fixed to the support columns by welding. A cooling box is provided on the fixing plates. A connecting conveying pipe and a connecting drain pipe are respectively provided on both sides of the cooling pool. The output ends of the connecting conveyor pipe and the connecting drain pipe are located on the cooling tank, while the connection ends of the connecting conveyor pipe and the connecting drain pipe are respectively located at the two ends of the two conveyor rollers 2 and 1. The connecting conveyor pipe and the connecting drain pipe are mounted on the two conveyor rollers 2 and 1 via bearings. A wind-cooling assembly is located in the middle of the cooling tank. The wind-cooling assembly includes an air cavity located in the middle of the cooling tank, with multiple air blowers on both sides of the air cavity, which are fixed to the air cavity. First, the freshly extruded cable is fed into the cooling tank through the first conveyor roller. During this process, a certain amount of warm water has been added to the cooling tank to perform preliminary cooling of the cable to meet the temperature requirements of the plastic extrusion layer. Then, guided by the first conveyor roller, the cable continues to move forward and gradually enters the interior of the cooling tank. At this time, the two second conveyor rollers at the bottom of the cooling tank begin to function. They not only help the cable enter the cooling tank better, but also, through their internal hollow structure, transport the cooling water in the cooling tank to the area around the cable for further cooling. The air in the air cavity is blown onto the cable during transport through multiple air blowers for additional cooling. This combination of air cooling and water cooling allows the cable to cool down quickly and evenly during transport, and then the cable is transported to a cooling pool in cold water by a conveyor roller.
[0007] The air-cooled assembly also includes a second mounting base disposed on the upper surface of the cooling pool, and an air cavity is provided between the two mounting bases; thus, it provides support for the air cavity.
[0008] The air-cooling assembly also includes a blower mounted on the upper surface of the air cavity, with the output end of the blower connected to the air cavity; that is, by generating a strong airflow and guiding it through the air cavity and the blower tube, a comprehensive, efficient and stable cooling effect on the cable is achieved.
[0009] The cooling pool is provided with two semicircular blocks, one and two, on both sides. The two semicircular blocks are located on the arc surface of the connecting conveying pipe and the connecting drain pipe; that is, the two semicircular blocks provide a fixation for the connecting conveying pipe and the connecting drain pipe.
[0010] Both the semicircular fixed shell one and the semicircular block two are fixed to the side of the cooling pool by bolts; thus, it is convenient to disassemble and replace the semicircular block one and the semicircular block two.
[0011] The cooling tank is equipped with a water inlet and a water outlet, while the cooling pool is equipped with a drain outlet; that is, the water inlet and the water outlet facilitate the addition of water to the cooling tank and the discharge of water from the cooling tank.
[0012] Each of the four support columns has a fixing plate at its bottom, which is fixed to the support column by welding; this provides stability to the support column while increasing the contact area of the support column.
[0013] In summary, compared with the prior art, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0014] 1. Cooling water in the cooling tank is transported through a connecting conveyor pipe to the interior of conveyor rollers one and two for further cooling of the cable. The cooling water flows inside the conveyor rollers, carrying away heat, and then flows back to the cooling tank through a connecting drain pipe, forming a cooling cycle. This facilitates the initial cooling of the cable while it is being transported, thus avoiding the risk of the cable breaking due to temperature stress if it directly enters the cold water cooling pool.
[0015] 2. By driving the blower, air from the air chamber is blown through the air pipe onto the cable during transmission. This air-cooling effect further reduces the cable temperature, ensuring it is acclimatized to a lower temperature before entering the subsequent cooling tank with added cold water.

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the following will be described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this utility model. Figure 1-4 The technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model are clearly and completely described herein. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the described embodiments of this utility model are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0024] like Figure 1-4As shown: This embodiment provides a cooling device for cable production and processing, including a cooling tank 100. A certain amount of warm water is added to the cooling tank 100 to initially cool the freshly extruded cable, thereby adapting it to the suitable temperature of the plastic extrusion layer. Mounting seats 108 are provided on both sides of the upper surface of the cooling tank 100. A conveying roller 106 is rotatably mounted between the mounting seats 108, rotating on the mounting seats 108 to convey the extruded cable. Two conveying rollers 115 are provided at the bottom of the cooling tank 100 to convey the cable and facilitate its entry into the cooling tank 100. To facilitate initial cooling of the cable, the conveyor rollers 106 and 115 are hollow. Four support columns 104 are installed at the bottom of the cooling pool 100 to support it. Fixing plates 101 are mounted on the support columns 104 and welded to them, thus providing support for the components above the fixing plates 101. A cooling box 105 is mounted on the fixing plate 101 and placed on its upper surface to store cooling water. Connecting conveyor pipes 101 are installed on both sides of the cooling pool 100. The output ends of the connecting pipe 103 and the connecting drain pipe 111 are respectively located on the cooling box 105. The connecting ends of the connecting pipe 103 and the connecting drain pipe 111 are respectively located at both ends of the two conveying rollers 115 and 106. Thus, the connecting pipe 103 and the connecting drain pipe 111 are installed on the two conveying rollers 115, 106, and the cooling box 105. The cooling water in the cooling box 105 can be transported to the two conveying rollers 115 and 106 through the connecting pipe 103, and then discharged back into the cooling box 105 through the connecting drain pipe 111. The water in the conveyor roller 106 is circulated, which further cools the cable during the conveying process. This prevents the cable from breaking if the subsequent cooling water comes into direct contact with the cable. A wind-cooling component 200 is provided in the middle of the cooling pool 100. The wind-cooling component 200 includes a wind cavity 203 in the middle of the cooling pool 100. Multiple air blowing pipes 204 are provided on both sides of the wind cavity 203. When the wind-cooling component 200 is in operation, the air in the wind cavity 203 is blown from the air blowing pipes 204 to the cable being conveyed to further cool the cable, so that the cable can quickly adapt to the subsequent addition of cold water to the cooling pool 100.
[0025] First, the freshly extruded cable is conveyed to the starting position of the cooling equipment via a conveying device. At this point, the cable first contacts the conveyor roller 106 on the upper surface of the cooling tank 100. The conveyor roller 106 rotates on the mounting base 108 to smoothly convey the cable into the cooling tank 100. Before the cable enters the cooling tank 100, a certain amount of warm water has been pre-added. The purpose of the warm water is to initially lower the cable temperature to meet the temperature requirements of the plastic extrusion layer. The warm water prevents a sudden drop in cable temperature, thus avoiding the risk of cable breakage due to temperature stress. Then, as the cable enters the cooling tank 100, it is further conveyed by the two conveyor rollers 115 at the bottom. The two conveyor rollers 115 also have a hollow structure, serving as channels for the cooling medium. At this time, cooling water in the cooling tank 105 is conveyed through the connecting conveyor pipe 103 to the interior of the two conveyor rollers 115 and the conveyor roller 106 for further cooling of the cable. Cooling water flows inside the conveyor rollers, carrying away heat and returning to the cooling tank 105 through the connecting drain pipe 111, forming a cooling cycle. When the air-cooling assembly 200 is activated, air from the air chamber 203 is blown onto the cable being conveyed through the air blower 204. This air-cooling effect can further reduce the temperature of the cable, ensuring it is already acclimatized to a lower temperature before entering the subsequent cooling pool 100 with added cold water.
[0026] 200 air-cooled components Figure 4 As shown,
[0027] The air-cooled assembly 200 also includes a second mounting base 201 disposed on the upper surface of the cooling pool 100, and an air cavity 203 is disposed between the second mounting bases 201, so as to facilitate fixing the air cavity 203;
[0028] The air-cooling assembly 200 also includes a blower 202 disposed on the upper surface of the air cavity 203. The output end of the blower 202 is connected to the air cavity 203, so the function of the blower 202 is to provide airflow to the air cavity 203.
[0029] Cooling box 105 Figure 4 As shown,
[0030] The cooling box 105 is provided with a semi-circular block 109 and a semi-circular block 210 on both sides. The semi-circular block 109 and the semi-circular block 210 are located on the arc surface of the connecting conveying pipe 103 and the connecting drain pipe 111, which facilitates the fixing of the connecting conveying pipe 103 and the connecting drain pipe 111.
[0031] Semicircular block 109 Figure 1 Enlarged view of point A in the image as follows Figure 3 As shown,
[0032] Both semicircular block 109 and semicircular block 210 are fixed to the side of the cooling pool 100 by bolts 112, which facilitates the fixing of semicircular block 109 and semicircular block 210 to the connecting conveying pipe 103 and the connecting drain pipe 111.
[0033] Cooling box 105 Figure 4 As shown,
[0034] The cooling tank 105 is provided with a water inlet 113 and a water outlet 107, and the cooling pool 100 is provided with a drain outlet 102, so as to facilitate adding a certain amount of water into the cooling tank 105 or draining the water in the cooling tank 105.
[0035] Four support columns, 104 as Figure 1 As shown,
[0036] Each of the four support columns 104 has a fixing plate 114 at its bottom, which increases the friction at the bottom of the support column 104.
[0037] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.
[0038] The above description is the preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
