Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aluminum profile production technology, specifically a cooling and conveying device for aluminum profile production. Background Technology

[0002] Aluminum and its alloys possess a range of excellent properties. Among metallic materials, aluminum is second only to steel in application. Aluminum profiles are aluminum materials with different cross-sectional shapes, formed by hot-melting and extruding aluminum rods. They are widely used in industry, most commonly in doors, windows, and curtain walls. During the extrusion process, aluminum profiles reach high temperatures. The profiles exiting the extruder retain residual heat and often require cooling to improve their mechanical strength and properties, facilitating further processing or treatment.

[0003] According to the patent application published on the patent website, "A cooling device for aluminum profile production (publication number: CN 221715322 U; application number: 202420261541.9)," the above application optimized the process to address the problem that "in the initial stage of aluminum material cooling, the temperature is too low, the chemical structure of the aluminum alloy is damaged, the density changes, and damage occurs during processing." However, the device in the above application only cools the aluminum profile by spraying water. The rapid cooling rate of the sprayed water mist in contact with the aluminum profile makes it easy for the aluminum profile to have an excessively large internal temperature difference due to the rapid external cooling. This results in uneven internal stress after cooling, affecting the overall strength of the aluminum profile. Utility Model Content

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a cooling conveyor device for aluminum profile production, comprising a base, a conveyor belt fixedly connected inside the base, a heat dissipation mechanism on the top of the base, and locking mechanisms on the front and rear sides of the heat dissipation mechanism.

[0006] The heat dissipation mechanism includes an exhaust component, an intake component, a closing component, and a lifting component. The exhaust component is located on the top of the base, the intake component is located on the front and rear sides of the exhaust component, the closing component is located on the top of the intake component, and the lifting component is located on the top of the closing component.

[0007] The locking mechanism includes a support component, a positioning component, and an unlocking component. The support component is located outside the closing component, the positioning component is located inside the support component, and the unlocking component is located outside the positioning component.

[0008] Preferably, the exhaust assembly includes a closed housing, which is fixedly connected to the top of the base. A casing is fixedly connected to the top of the closed housing, and an exhaust fan is fixedly connected inside the casing. A ventilation mesh is fixedly connected to the top of the closed housing inside the casing, and an exhaust mesh is fixedly connected to the top of the casing.

[0009] Preferably, the air intake assembly includes a fixing frame, which is fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the closed housing. An air intake mesh plate is provided inside the fixing frame, which is fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the closed housing. A filter element is provided inside the fixing frame.

[0010] Preferably, the closing component includes a cover that snaps into the top of the fixing frame, the bottom of the cover being in contact with the top of the filter element, a limiting plate being fixedly connected to the top of the cover, the bottom of the limiting plate being in contact with the top of the fixing frame, and a handle being fixedly connected to the top of the limiting plate.

[0011] Preferably, the lifting assembly includes a cylinder, which is disposed above the limiting plate and is fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the enclosed box. A slide cylinder is slidably connected inside the cylinder, and a compression spring is fixedly connected to the top of the slide cylinder. The compression spring is fixedly connected to the top of the cylinder, and a lifting slide rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the slide cylinder. The lifting slide rod is slidably connected to the bottom of the cylinder and fixedly connected to the top of the limiting plate.

[0012] Preferably, the support assembly includes a frame plate, which is fixedly connected to the outside of the limiting plate, and a fixing cylinder is fixedly connected to the outside of the frame plate.

[0013] Preferably, the positioning component includes a sliding plate, which is slidably connected inside the fixed cylinder. A return spring is fixedly connected to the outer side of the sliding plate, and the return spring is fixedly connected to the inner and outer sides of the fixed cylinder. A locking rod is fixedly connected to the inner side of the sliding plate, and a locking seat is sleeved on the outer ring of the locking rod. The locking seat is fixedly connected to the outer side of the fixed frame.

[0014] Preferably, the unlocking component includes a telescopic slide rod, which is fixedly connected to the outside of the slide plate and slidably connected to the inside of the fixed cylinder. A pull rod is fixedly connected to the outside of the telescopic slide rod.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a cooling conveying device for aluminum profile production, which has the following advantages:

[0016] 1. This cooling conveyor device for aluminum profile production, through its heat dissipation mechanism, allows the aluminum profile to enter through the bottom of the enclosed box during conveyor belt transport. The exhaust fan draws air out of the enclosed box, allowing external cold air to continuously enter the enclosed box through the air inlet mesh and come into contact with the aluminum profile. This continuous cooling of the aluminum profile results in a more stable cooling rate compared to common spray cooling structures. This prevents uneven internal stress caused by uneven cooling rates, ensuring the overall structural strength of the aluminum profile after cooling. Furthermore, it eliminates the need for additional materials to assist in cooling the aluminum profile and for collecting additional materials to ensure circulation. The simple structure facilitates subsequent inspection and maintenance by staff.

[0017] The lifting slide rod is slidably connected to the bottom of the cylinder to restrict the movement trajectory of the cover, so that the cover can only move up and down. Under the action of the compression spring, the slide cylinder applies an upward force to the limiting plate and the cover through the lifting slide rod. This, combined with the downward movement of the cover and the limiting plate under their own weight, ensures that the cover will not fall suddenly after the worker releases the grip. Instead, it will fall slowly under the force of the compression spring, preventing the cover from causing injury to the worker during the fall and ensuring the safety of the device during use.

[0018] 2. This cooling conveying device for aluminum profile production, through a locking mechanism, after the cover is engaged with the top of the fixed frame, the sliding plate, under the action of the return spring, drives the locking rod to move inward, so that the locking rod engages with the card seat, completing the locking between the cover and the fixed frame. This prevents the cover from accidentally releasing the seal on the fixed frame, ensuring the cover's positioning of the filter element. At the same time, the operator only needs to pull the lever outward to release the lock on the cover, without affecting the disassembly of the cover. The operation is simple and convenient for the operator to use. Attached Figure Description

[0030] This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0031] Example 1

[0032] Combination Figures 1 to 7A cooling conveying device for aluminum profile production includes a base 3, a conveyor belt 4 fixedly connected inside the base 3, a heat dissipation mechanism 1 on the top of the base 3, and locking mechanisms 2 on the front and rear sides of the heat dissipation mechanism 1.

[0033] The heat dissipation mechanism 1 includes an exhaust component 11, an intake component 12, a closing component 13, and a lifting component 14.

[0034] Exhaust assembly 11 includes a closed housing 1101, which is fixedly connected to the top of the base 3. A housing 1102 is fixedly connected to the top of the closed housing 1101, and an exhaust fan 1103 is fixedly connected inside the housing 1102. A venting mesh 1104 is fixedly connected to the top of the closed housing 1101 inside the housing 1102, and an exhaust mesh 1105 is fixedly connected to the top of the housing 1102. Intake assembly 12 includes a mounting bracket 1201, which is fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the closed housing 1101.

The lifting assembly 14 includes a cylinder 1401. The cylinder 1401 is located above the limiting plate 1302. The cylinder 1401 is fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the closed box 1101. A slide cylinder 1402 is slidably connected inside the cylinder 1401. A compression spring 1403 is fixedly connected to the top of the slide cylinder 1402. The compression spring 1403 is fixedly connected to the top of the cylinder 1401. A lifting slide rod 1404 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the slide cylinder 1402. The lifting slide rod 1404 is slidably connected inside the bottom of the cylinder 1401. The lifting slide rod 1404 is fixedly connected to the top of the limiting plate 1302.

[0035] Furthermore, the filter element 1203 is installed inside the fixing frame 1201 to filter the air entering the closed box 1101 through the air inlet mesh plate 1202, so that dust and impurities in the outside air will not enter the closed box 1101 with the airflow, ensuring the cleanliness of the outer surface of the aluminum profile and preventing dust from adhering to the outer surface of the aluminum profile and affecting the heat exchange efficiency. At the same time, the staff only needs to pull the handle 1303 upward to drive the cover 1301 upward to release the closure of the fixing frame 1201, making it convenient for the staff to replace the filter element 1203.

[0036] Example 2

[0037] See Figures 1 to 5 and Figure 7 Furthermore, based on Embodiment 1, the locking mechanism 2 includes a support component 21, a positioning component 22, and an unlocking component 23. The support component 21 is disposed outside the closing component 13, the positioning component 22 is disposed inside the support component 21, and the unlocking component 23 is disposed outside the positioning component 22.

[0038] The support assembly 21 includes a frame plate 2101, which is fixedly connected to the outside of the limiting plate 1302. A fixing cylinder 2102 is fixedly connected to the outside of the frame plate 2101. The positioning assembly 22 includes a slider 2201, which is slidably connected to the inside of the fixing cylinder 2102. A return spring 2202 is fixedly connected to the outside of the slider 2201. The return spring 2202 is fixedly connected to the inside and outside of the fixing cylinder 2102. A locking rod 2203 is fixedly connected to the inside of the slider 2201. A locking seat 2204 is sleeved on the outer ring of the locking rod 2203. The locking seat 2204 is fixedly connected to the outside of the fixing frame 1201. The unlocking assembly 23 includes a telescopic slider 2301, which is fixedly connected to the outside of the slider 2201. The telescopic slider 2301 is slidably connected to the inside of the outside of the fixing cylinder 2102. A pull rod 2302 is fixedly connected to the outside of the telescopic slider 2301.

[0039] Furthermore: After the cover 1301 is engaged with the top of the fixing frame 1201, the sliding plate 2201, under the action of the return spring 2202, drives the locking rod 2203 to move inward, so that the locking rod 2203 engages with the locking seat 2204 to complete the locking between the cover 1301 and the fixing frame 1201. This prevents the cover 1301 from accidentally releasing the fixing frame 1201, ensuring the positioning of the cover 1301 on the filter element 1203. At the same time, the operator only needs to pull the lever 2302 outward to release the lock on the cover 1301, which will not affect the disassembly of the cover 1301. The operation is simple and convenient for the operator to use.

[0040] In actual operation, when this device is used, the aluminum profile is placed on top of the conveyor belt 4. The conveyor belt 4 is started and drives the aluminum profile to move. The aluminum profile moves on top of the conveyor belt 4 and passes through the bottom of the closed box 1101. When the aluminum profile enters the bottom of the closed box 1101, the exhaust fan 1103 is started. The exhaust fan 1103 starts and draws the air in the closed box 1101 upward and discharges it. At this time, a negative pressure is formed in the closed box 1101. Then, the external cold air enters the closed box 1101 through the air inlet mesh plate 1202 under the action of the negative pressure. After the cold air enters the closed box 1101, it comes into contact with the aluminum profile and cools the aluminum profile. Then the heated air is discharged again through the exhaust fan 1103 upward through the ventilation mesh plate 1104 and the air outlet mesh plate 1105. This process is repeated to cool the aluminum profile until the aluminum profile moves away from the bottom of the closed box 1101. At this time, the cooling process of the aluminum profile is completed.

[0041] When filter element 1203 needs to be replaced, first pull the lever 2302 outward. The outward movement of lever 2302, via telescopic slide rod 2301, causes slide plate 2201 to move outward. Slide plate 2201 then moves locking lever 2203 outward, retracting it into fixed cylinder 2102. This releases the lock on cover 1301. Next, pull the handle 1303 upward. The upward movement of handle 1303, via limit plate 1302, causes cover 1301 to move upward, releasing the seal on the top of fixed bracket 1201. Then, the operator can replace filter element 1203. Replace the filter element 1203 by pulling it down. Then release the pull on the handle 1303. At this time, the cover 1301 will fall down and engage with the top of the fixing frame 1201. As the cover 1301 slides down, pull the lever 2302 outward again until the cover 1301 is fully engaged with the top of the fixing frame 1201. Then release the pull on the lever 2302. At this time, the slide plate 2201 will drive the locking lever 2203 to move inward under the action of the return spring 2202. The locking lever 2203 will engage with the inner ring of the card seat 2204. This completes the locking of the cover 1301 and the replacement of the filter element 1203.

[0042] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus.
