Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of belt conveyor coupling machines, and in particular to a high-efficiency air-cooled heat dissipation mechanism for coupling machines. Background Technology

[0002] A belt splicing machine is a device that heat-presses two belt segments together, enabling a seamless connection between two independent belts. Chinese utility model patent CN219667502U discloses an air-cooled splicing machine, comprising a splicing machine and an air-cooling mechanism. The splicing machine includes a support frame and a heating plate, with the heating plate mounted on the support frame for heat-pressing plastic products. The air-cooling mechanism is mounted on the support frame and includes a top plate and a housing. The top plate is mounted on the housing, and multiple blowers are evenly embedded within it. The housing contains a condenser pipe, and the bottom of the housing has an opening. A perforated plate is provided at the corresponding opening on the support frame. The advantage is that the product does not need to be stopped during the cooling process.

[0003] The above technical solution addresses the problems of previous water-cooled connectors requiring product dwell time during the cooling process, resulting in slow operation, product accumulation, and high manufacturing, installation, disassembly, and maintenance costs. This solution separates the air-cooling mechanism from the connector, placing the heated belt of the connector directly onto the air-cooling mechanism for cooling, thus improving cooling efficiency. However, the following issues still exist in practical use:

[0004] 1. During the splicing process, the belt needs to be kept under certain pressure and temperature for a period of time to ensure the splicing quality. This solution moves the belt that has just been heat-melted to the air-cooling mechanism on the other side before it has been completely cooled and solidified, which will affect the firmness of the splice.

[0005] 2. Although the air-cooling mechanism of this technical solution uses multiple blowers for cooling, the blowers blow air directly onto the product, which can cause local overheating or uneven cooling of the belt during the cooling process, affecting the connection quality. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a high-efficiency air-cooled heat dissipation mechanism for a connector, which addresses the shortcomings of the prior art. The high-efficiency air-cooled mechanism achieves higher heat dissipation efficiency and is more convenient to use.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a high-efficiency air-cooled heat dissipation mechanism for a connecting machine, comprising a support, a pressure plate, and a heating element disposed between the support and the pressure plate. The support is provided with a heat insulation component and a heat dissipation component. The heat dissipation component includes several cooling fans disposed within the support and facing the pressure plate, and several cooling plates disposed at one end away from the pressure plate. The inner cavity of the cooling plate is provided with multiple heat dissipation air channels penetrating the cooling plate. The surface of the cooling plate facing the cooling fans is provided with several ventilation openings corresponding to the cooling fans. The ventilation openings are connected to a portion of the heat dissipation air channels within the cooling plate.

[0008] The above technical solution incorporates a cooling fan and cooling plate within the support of the conveyor belt. The fan forces the airflow through the cooling plate to cool it, improving heat dissipation efficiency. The cooling plate's internal airflow channels and surface vents ensure that the airflow effectively removes heat generated by the heating elements. Multiple through-flow airflow channels within the cooling plate effectively disperse and conduct heat. Ventilation vents corresponding to the cooling fan are located on the cooling plate's surface facing the fan. These vents connect with the internal airflow channels, forming an efficient heat dissipation path. This allows heat to be quickly and evenly dissipated from the heating components, preventing localized overheating or uneven cooling, thus improving the overall quality of the belt connection. This air-cooled heat dissipation mechanism can be applied to various conveyor belts, such as PVC conveyor belts and heavy-duty conveyor belts, and can also be used on different supports, such as upper supports with airbags or lower supports serving as bases. The entire heat dissipation process involves direct cooling after heating, eliminating the need to move the belt during this process and further improving overall connection quality.

[0009] The aforementioned high-efficiency air-cooled heat dissipation mechanism for a connecting machine can be further configured such that: the number of cooling plates and cooling fans is not less than two, the cooling plates are arranged side by side in the support, and a detachable structure is provided between adjacent cooling plates.

[0010] The above technical solution utilizes side-by-side cooling plates arranged closely within the support to maximize heat dissipation efficiency. Each cooling plate is paired with at least one cooling fan, ensuring that the airflow in the cooling duct can evenly cover the entire surface of the cooling plate. Furthermore, a detachable structure is provided between adjacent cooling plates, allowing for quick installation, maintenance, or replacement of the cooling plates, thus improving the flexibility and maintainability of the equipment. By setting at least two cooling plates and cooling fans, the heat dissipation capacity of the air-cooled mechanism is enhanced, ensuring that the heat generated by the heating elements during operation in the connecting machine can be dissipated more effectively, allowing a larger surface area to contact the air, thereby increasing the rate of heat transfer.

[0011] The aforementioned high-efficiency air-cooled heat dissipation mechanism for a connector can be further configured such that: the detachable structure includes a plug-in portion on one side of the cooling plate and a slot matching the plug-in portion on the other side, and adjacent cooling plates are connected to each other by plug-in portion and slot.

[0012] The above technical solution features a plug-in part on one side of the cooling plate and a slot on the other side, which match and precisely align with each other. This plug-in design not only ensures that the physical connection between the cooling plates is not loose, but also guarantees the sealing of the connection through the tight fit between the plug-in part and the slot, preventing air leakage and maintaining the overall efficiency of the air-cooling mechanism. At the same time, it reduces the manufacturing cost of large molds and can be automatically spliced ​​and installed according to different specifications of connecting machines, improving adaptability. It provides a convenient and stable cooling plate connection method, enabling quick assembly and disassembly between cooling plates. It also allows the entire air-cooling mechanism to be maintained or replaced without disassembling the entire cooling plate when maintenance or replacement of a single cooling plate is required, thus saving maintenance time and costs.

[0013] The aforementioned high-efficiency air-cooled heat dissipation mechanism for a connector can be further configured such that: the slot has a rectangular groove and two vertical sides extending toward the groove from the end of the cooling plate; the insertion part includes a protrusion that matches the groove and a narrow side that abuts against the two vertical sides.

[0014] The above technical solution, based on the rectangular groove design of the slot, allows the protruding part of the plug to be perfectly embedded in it, forming a tight fit. The two vertical sides of the slot match the design of the end of the cooling plate, providing additional support and guidance for the plug, ensuring that the plug can be aligned along the correct path during insertion. The narrow side of the plug abuts against the vertical side of the slot, further enhancing the stability of the connection and preventing the cooling plates from sliding or misaligning during use (requiring greater force to remove). Through the specific geometric design of the slot and plug, a stable and precise connection between the cooling plates is achieved. This design ensures the alignment accuracy of the cooling plates during splicing, while providing sufficient contact area to withstand the forces that may be generated during operation, thereby ensuring the structural stability and long-term durability of the entire air-cooling mechanism.

[0015] The aforementioned high-efficiency air-cooled heat dissipation mechanism for a connector can be further configured such that the ventilation opening consists of multiple elliptical holes formed on the surface of the cooling plate, and the elliptical holes are distributed in the corresponding air-blowing coverage area of ​​the cooling fan.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the elliptical holes are evenly distributed in the airflow coverage area of ​​the cooling fan, ensuring that the airflow can cover the entire surface of the cooling plate, avoiding the generation of local hot spots, and avoiding the problem of reduced strength caused by excessively large openings. It can also withstand the mechanical and thermal stress of the connecting machine during operation, ensuring the long-term stable operation of the air-cooling mechanism, and allowing the airflow generated by the cooling fan to pass through the cooling plate more efficiently, achieving uniform heat exchange, thereby improving the cooling efficiency of the entire air-cooling mechanism.

[0017] The aforementioned high-efficiency air-cooled heat dissipation mechanism for a connecting machine can be further configured such that the cooling plate is integrally formed using a cast aluminum process.

[0018] Using the above technical solution, the cooling plate is based on the excellent heat dissipation characteristics of cast aluminum material. Cast aluminum not only has excellent thermal conductivity, but can also be manufactured into complex geometric shapes through an integral molding process, such as equidistant internal grille-type heat dissipation air channels. Then, elliptical holes are opened on the surface to achieve airflow conduction. This combination of material and manufacturing process makes the cooling plate both lightweight and has good heat dissipation capacity.

[0019] The aforementioned high-efficiency air-cooled heat dissipation mechanism for a connector can be further configured such that the ventilation opening is manufactured by a turning process.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the ventilation openings processed by turning process ensure the accuracy and surface quality of the ventilation openings, improve the airflow efficiency of the ventilation openings, and help improve the overall heat dissipation performance and surface strength.

[0021] The aforementioned high-efficiency air-cooled heat dissipation mechanism for a connecting machine can be further configured such that the heat insulation component includes a cooling panel disposed between the pressure plate and the heating element, and a galvanized plate disposed between the heating element and the cooling plate.

[0022] The above technical solution includes a cooling panel and a galvanized sheet, as well as ventilation holes between them. This helps to isolate and distribute heat evenly, improves the heat insulation effect, reduces the transfer of heat to non-working areas, and improves heat dissipation efficiency. The cooling plate abuts against the galvanized sheet and cools the entire heating element. The galvanized sheet is used to protect the heating element from damage. The cooling panel and the pressure plate are set together to even out heat and avoid local temperature differences that could affect the connection quality. The pressure plate is set to protect the belt surface and prevent the belt surface from overheating.

[0023] The aforementioned high-efficiency air-cooled heat dissipation mechanism for a connecting machine can be further configured such that: a pressurizing component is provided above the cooling plate corresponding to the support, the pressurizing component includes two stainless steel plates arranged side by side and two airbags arranged corresponding to the stainless steel plates, and each of the two stainless steel plates and the two airbags has a ventilation channel arranged corresponding to the ventilation opening of the cooling plate.

[0024] Using the above technical solution, the two parallel stainless steel plates of the pressurizing component provide a robust support structure and protect the airbag. The airbag is pressurized by the docking machine to increase the pressure on the belt docking surface and improve the docking quality. The two stainless steel plates and the airbag are arranged opposite each other to form a ventilation channel, which facilitates ventilation without affecting the inflation and expansion of the airbag, thus forming an effective air-cooling heat dissipation path.

[0025] The aforementioned high-efficiency air-cooled heat dissipation mechanism for a shuttle machine can be further configured such that: the heat insulation component also includes a heat insulation plate and an artificial stone slab located below the airbag, and both the heat insulation plate and the artificial stone slab are provided with air passage holes corresponding to the ventilation channel and the cooling plate vent, respectively.

[0026] With the above technical solution, the hot plate is located below the airbag to reduce heat transfer to the airbag and protect the airbag structure. The artificial stone slab follows closely behind for further heat insulation. The setting of the air vents further isolates heat while allowing airflow, improving the heat insulation effect and maintaining the airflow channel of the heat dissipation mechanism, which helps to maintain heat dissipation performance.
