Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of material cooling technology, specifically relating to a multifunctional cooling hopper. Background Technology

[0002] In industrial production, hopper cooling equipment plays a crucial role in maintaining suitable material temperatures and ensuring stable production processes. Currently, most hopper cooling equipment on the market adopts a spiral cooling tube structure. However, this structure has several drawbacks. On the one hand, the special shape of the spiral cooling tube makes cleaning extremely difficult. Material residue easily adheres to the inner wall of the tube during production, and conventional cleaning tools struggle to thoroughly clean the complex spiral structure. Over time, this not only affects cooling efficiency but may also breed bacteria, posing a potential threat to product quality. On the other hand, when equipment malfunctions and requires repair, the disassembly and reinstallation of the spiral cooling tube is cumbersome, consuming significant manpower, resources, and time, severely impacting production progress. Furthermore, existing equipment also has deficiencies in water flow control. Due to unreasonable design, the water flow rate is often too fast. According to fluid mechanics principles, excessively fast water flow cannot fully exchange heat with the material, resulting in a significant reduction in cooling effect and failing to meet increasingly stringent production process requirements. These problems urgently need to be addressed through innovative design and technological improvements. Utility Model Content

[0003] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, one aspect of the present invention is to provide a multifunctional cooling hopper, which includes a discharge port, a box body, a discharge port, a discharge port baffle, and cooling pipes. The upper half of the box body is open and the lower half gradually becomes narrow. The discharge port is located at the top of the box body, the discharge port is located at the bottom of the box body, the discharge port baffle is hinged to both sides of the discharge port, and there are 7 cooling pipes that horizontally run through the box body.

[0004] Preferably, the discharge port baffle is provided with a rotating handle, and the rotating handle is fixedly connected to the hinge shaft of the discharge port baffle.

[0005] Preferably, the multifunctional cooling hopper also includes hopper lifting rings, with four hopper lifting rings respectively disposed at the four corners of the housing.

[0006] Preferably, the multifunctional cooling hopper further includes a hopper support, the top of which is fixedly connected to the outside of the box, and the bottom of which extends beyond the outlet baffle to support the ground.

[0007] Preferably, the hopper support is provided with a handle support, one end of which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the hopper support, and the other end is provided with an opening through which a rotating handle protrudes, and the handle support is movably connected to the rotating handle.

[0008] Preferably, the cooling pipe is circulated with cold air or cold water.

[0009] Preferably, when the cooling pipes are circulated with cold air, the seven cooling pipes are connected to different air inlets.

[0010] Preferably, when the cooling pipes are filled with cold water, the seven cooling pipes are connected in series.

[0011] Preferably, the seven cooling pipes are connected in series via hoses.

[0012] Preferably, when the cooling pipes are filled with cold water, the lowest cooling pipe is the inlet and the highest cooling pipe is the outlet.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] This invention employs a horizontally traversing cooling pipe structure, resulting in a more organized cooling pipe layout. Compared to a spiral structure, cleaning the inner wall of the pipe becomes significantly easier. Operators can easily use conventional cleaning tools to reach deep into the pipe and quickly remove scale, improving cleaning efficiency and ensuring a clean production environment. During maintenance, the horizontally traversing cooling pipe is simple to disassemble and install, significantly shortening maintenance time, reducing labor costs, and minimizing the impact of equipment downtime on production schedules. Regarding cooling performance, the scientific design of the horizontal cooling pipe allows for precise control of water flow speed, ensuring sufficient contact between the water and materials within the pipe, extending heat exchange time, improving cooling efficiency, and ensuring stable production of materials at suitable temperatures. This effectively meets the industrial production demands for efficient, convenient, and stable cooling equipment.
