Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of material preparation technology, specifically, it relates to a rapidly cooling adjustable non-water-cooled movable copper mold. Background Technology

[0002] Copper molds are widely used in the material preparation process for cooling and forming. However, existing copper molds have the following problems: First, traditional water-cooled copper molds require a large amount of cooling water, which not only wastes resources but may also affect production due to problems such as water channel blockage and leakage; second, the cooling rate is difficult to control precisely, failing to meet the personalized requirements of different materials for cooling profiles. These problems are mainly due to the relatively simple cooling methods of existing copper molds and the lack of effective temperature monitoring and control methods. Utility Model Content

[0003] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a new technical solution:

[0004] A rapidly cooling adjustable non-water-cooled movable copper mold includes a temperature controller, a copper mold, thermoelectric elements, and two thermocouples. The copper mold includes a left half and a right half that match and fit tightly together. The left half and the right half of the copper mold are respectively provided with a concave wall 1 and a concave wall 2 at the fitting area. When the left half and the right half of the copper mold are fitted together, the concave wall 1 and the concave wall 2 form a copper mold cavity with an open top. The thermoelectric elements include a left thermoelectric element and a right thermoelectric element. The left thermoelectric element and the right thermoelectric element are respectively disposed in the left half of the copper mold and the right half of the copper mold. Both the left half of the copper mold and the right half of the copper mold are provided with thermocouple placement holes, and the thermocouples are placed in the thermocouple placement holes.

[0005] Furthermore, the left thermoelectric element, the right thermoelectric element, and the thermocouple are all electrically connected to the temperature controller. The power of the thermoelectric elements is controlled by the temperature controller to achieve continuous adjustment of the cooling rate of the copper mold, meet the cooling rate requirements of different materials, and improve the quality and performance of material preparation.

[0006] Furthermore, the temperature controller is equipped with a temperature display screen, which displays the temperature monitored in real time by the thermocouple. Combined with the precise temperature control of the temperature controller, high-precision control of the copper mold temperature can be achieved, ensuring that the material is formed under ideal temperature conditions.

[0007] Furthermore, the left and right thermoelectric elements are respectively positioned close to concave wall one and concave wall two, so that the thermoelectric elements are in close contact with the material to be cooled, thereby achieving rapid cooling of the material.

[0008] Furthermore, the thermoelectric element is a high-power thermoelectric element, with a power range of 50 to 500W.

[0009] This invention also includes other devices or components that enable the rapid-cooling adjustable non-water-cooled movable copper mold to function properly, all of which are conventional techniques in the field. Furthermore, the temperature controller and thermocouples not specified in this invention also employ conventional techniques in the field.

[0010] The working principle of this invention is that a high-power thermoelectric element is inserted into a copper mold, and the cooling effect brought by its reverse thermoelectric effect is used to cool the copper mold. The temperature of the copper mold is measured by a thermocouple, and the power is adjusted to control the cooling rate and temperature during the cooling process.

[0011] When cooling and molding of materials is required, the heated material is placed into a copper mold, and a specific current is applied to the thermoelectric element. The thermoelectric element generates a reverse thermoelectric effect, absorbing heat from the copper mold and thus cooling it. Thermocouples monitor the temperature of the copper mold in real time and feed the temperature back to the temperature controller. The control device automatically adjusts the power of the thermoelectric element according to the set cooling curve and the current temperature, thereby precisely controlling the cooling rate of the copper mold and achieving precise control of the cooling process.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are that this device solves the problems of the existing copper mold cooling speed being unadjustable, relying on water cooling medium, and having inaccurate temperature control; it eliminates the need for cooling water, avoids water circuit blockage and leakage, reduces production and maintenance costs, and also reduces water consumption; the copper mold includes a detachable left half copper mold and a right half copper mold, and the detachable copper mold structure makes material demolding more convenient and improves production efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0013] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0014] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of this utility model.

[0015] Figure 2 This is the cooling temperature curve of the copper mold. Detailed Implementation

[0016] The present invention will now be clearly described with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. This description is merely for explaining the present invention and is not intended to limit it. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort to obtain all other embodiments should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0017] Example

[0018] like Figure 1As shown, this utility model provides a rapidly cooling adjustable non-water-cooled movable copper mold, including a temperature controller (not shown in the figure), a copper mold, thermoelectric elements, and two thermocouples (not shown in the figure). The copper mold includes a left half copper mold 1 and a right half copper mold 2 that match and fit tightly together. The left half copper mold 1 and the right half copper mold 2 are respectively provided with a concave wall 3 and a concave wall 4 at the fitting point. When the left half copper mold 1 and the right half copper mold 2 are fitted together, the concave wall 3 and the concave wall 4 form a copper mold cavity with an open top. The thermoelectric elements include a left thermoelectric element 5 and a right thermoelectric element 6. The left thermoelectric element 5 and the right thermoelectric element 6 are respectively disposed in the left half copper mold 1 and the right half copper mold 2. The left half copper mold 1 and the right half copper mold 2 are both provided with thermocouple placement holes 7, and the thermocouples are placed in the thermocouple placement holes 7.

[0019] As a further measure of this utility model, the left thermoelectric element 5, the right thermoelectric element 6, and the thermocouple are all electrically connected to a temperature controller. The power of the thermoelectric elements is controlled by the temperature controller to achieve continuous adjustment of the cooling rate of the copper mold, meet the cooling rate requirements of different materials, and improve the quality and performance of material preparation. The temperature controller is equipped with a temperature display screen (not shown in the figure), which is used to display the temperature monitored by the thermocouple in real time. Combined with the precise temperature control of the temperature controller, high-precision control of the copper mold temperature can be achieved to ensure that the material is formed under ideal temperature conditions. The left thermoelectric element 5 and the right thermoelectric element 6 are respectively set close to the concave wall 3 and the concave wall 4, so that the thermoelectric elements are in close contact with the material to be cooled, achieving rapid cooling of the material. The thermoelectric elements are high-power thermoelectric elements with a power range of 50-500W.

[0020] The working principle of this invention is that a high-power thermoelectric element is inserted into a copper mold, and the cooling effect brought by its reverse thermoelectric effect is used to cool the copper mold. The temperature of the copper mold is measured by a thermocouple, and the power is adjusted to control the cooling rate and temperature during the cooling process.

[0021] When the material needs to be cooled and molded, the heated material is placed into the copper mold. The temperature controller starts the cooling program, applying a specific current to the thermoelectric element. The thermoelectric element generates a reverse thermoelectric effect, absorbing heat from the copper mold and cooling it. Thermocouples monitor the temperature of the copper mold in real time and feed the temperature back to the temperature controller. The control device determines the cooling rate and temperature range based on the set cooling curve and the current temperature, and automatically adjusts the power of the thermoelectric element to precisely control the cooling rate of the copper mold and achieve precise control of the cooling process. When the material cools to a solid state and reaches the set demolding temperature, the copper mold is disassembled, and the molded material is successfully demolded.

[0022] like Figure 2 The figure shows the cooling temperature curve of the copper mold. The copper mold with an initial temperature of 1200℃ can be cooled to -10℃ or 120℃ by following the cooling curve of mold temperature -10℃ or mold temperature 120℃.

[0023] The embodiments of the present invention have been described above. These descriptions are exemplary and not exhaustive, nor are they limited to the disclosed embodiments. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments.
