The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the utility model, and cannot be understood as limiting the utility model.

[0031] After extrusion molding, metal profiles typically require rapid cooling through a cooling system to stabilize their physical properties and geometry. The quality of the cooling process directly affects the profile's strength, hardness, straightness, and surface quality; therefore, the design and optimization of cooling systems have always been a key focus in the industry. Traditional metal profile cooling methods mainly include air cooling and water cooling. Air cooling uses airflow to cool the surface of the metal profile, but this method has low cooling efficiency and high processing costs. Water cooling, on the other hand, involves directly spraying cooling water onto the surface of the metal profile for rapid cooling, but this method results in uneven cooling and poor cooling and forming quality of the metal profile.
[0032] It should be further explained that traditional spray water cooling systems often fail to achieve uniform cooling, leading to uneven stress distribution within the metal profiles. This can easily cause deformation, cracks, or other defects, affecting product performance. During the cooling process, the metal profiles may become skewed or twisted due to the impact of the cooling water flow or uneven stress, resulting in non-compliance with straightness and dimensional accuracy standards. After cooling, water stains often remain on the surface of the metal profiles. If not removed promptly, these can cause oxidation, corrosion, or surface defects, reducing the product's appearance quality and corrosion resistance. Traditional cooling systems have low water recycling rates, resulting in significant water waste and increasing wastewater treatment costs and environmental burden. With the manufacturing industry's ever-increasing demands for product quality and environmental protection, developing a cooling system that can achieve efficient cooling, prevent metal profile deformation, improve surface quality, and reduce resource waste has become an urgent need for the industry. This technical solution is proposed against this backdrop, aiming to solve the technical bottlenecks in traditional cooling processes and provide a more efficient and environmentally friendly solution for metal profile manufacturing.
