Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metal processing and welding technology, specifically to a rapid cooling and shaping device for metal processing and welding. Background Technology
[0002] Metal processing welding technology can connect two or more metal parts together to form a whole structure. The welding process generates a lot of heat, causing the local temperature of the weldment to rise sharply. If it is not cooled, the high temperature area will expand, and the microstructure and properties of the heat-affected zone will change significantly, such as grain coarsening and reduced hardness. This requires the use of cooling and shaping devices, which can reduce the temperature of the welding area and reduce the impact on the overall performance of the weldment.
[0003] In practice, cooling and shaping devices for metal processing and welding often involve directly spraying tap water over a large area of the processing table for cooling. However, the tap water temperature is not low enough to achieve rapid cooling and shaping. Furthermore, this spray cooling structure is not targeted at the welding head, resulting in inaccurate cooling and water waste. Therefore, we propose a new type of rapid cooling and shaping device for metal processing and welding to solve the aforementioned problems and achieve high efficiency and energy saving. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a rapid cooling and shaping device for metal processing and welding, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a rapid cooling and shaping device for metal processing and welding, comprising an outer support frame, and further comprising...
[0006] A secondary cooling water tank and a main storage water tank are respectively installed on both sides inside the outer support frame. A semiconductor cooling chip and a fan are sequentially installed on the secondary cooling water tank.
[0007] A PLC controller is installed at one end of the external support frame, a second water pump is installed between the auxiliary cooling water tank and the main storage water tank, and an ultrasonic water level sensor and a temperature sensor are installed on the auxiliary cooling water tank in sequence.
[0008] A welding head cover is attached to one side of the auxiliary cooling water tank. Both ends of the welding head cover are provided with semi-circular cooling shells. Spray nozzles are evenly arranged at the bottom of the inner wall of the semi-circular cooling shells. Rubber hoses are connected to the semi-circular cooling shells, and assembly pipe heads are fixed between adjacent rubber hoses.
[0009] A first water pump is installed at the bottom of the auxiliary cooling water tank, and a corrugated hose is installed between the assembly pipe head and the first water pump.
[0010] Furthermore, one end of the semiconductor cooling chip is provided with a cooling surface embedded inside the auxiliary cooling water tank.
[0011] Furthermore, a heating surface is provided at the end of the semiconductor cooling chip near the fan.
[0012] Furthermore, the fan is connected to the auxiliary cooling water tank via screws to form a disassembly and installation structure, and a waterproof sealant layer is provided between the semiconductor cooling chip and the temperature sensor and the auxiliary cooling water tank.
[0013] Furthermore, casters are installed at the bottom of both ends of one side of the outer support frame, and an operating handle is fixed on the outer support frame above the casters.
[0014] Furthermore, the ultrasonic water level sensor is installed on the top of the auxiliary cooling water tank, and the probe of the temperature sensor extends into the interior of the auxiliary cooling water tank.
[0015] Furthermore, two semi-circular cooling shells are provided, and the top of each semi-circular cooling shell is threaded with a locking bolt, making it easy to assemble the two semi-circular cooling shells and mount them onto the welding head of the corresponding metal processing and welding equipment.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0017] This rapid cooling and shaping device for metal processing and welding optimizes its performance by incorporating a first water pump. On one hand, when the thermoelectric cooler is energized, its embedded cooling surface in the auxiliary cooling tank cools the water, while its exposed heating surface dissipates heat through the fan. This optimizes the cooling effect of the thermoelectric cooler and prevents insufficient heat dissipation from the heating surface from affecting the cooling effect of the cooling surface. Simultaneously, a temperature sensor monitors the temperature of the cold water inside the auxiliary cooling tank in real time and feeds the data back to the PLC controller, enabling intelligent control of the coolant temperature inside the auxiliary cooling tank. This avoids excessively high coolant temperatures that could negatively impact the cooling and shaping operation in metal processing and welding, and also... To avoid the water freezing into a solid state due to excessively low coolant temperature and energy waste, the user can assemble the two semi-circular cooling shells that make up the welding head cover by closing them together and attaching them to the machining head of the metal processing welding equipment. Then, the locking bolts are rotated and connected to the corresponding mounting screw holes on the machining head of the metal processing welding equipment to complete the assembly of the welding head cover. During operation, the first water pump starts, and the coolant is introduced into the two semi-circular cooling shells of the welding head cover through the assembly pipe head and corrugated hose. Then, through the nozzles arranged at the bottom of the inner wall of the semi-circular cooling shells, the coolant is evenly sprayed onto the machining head of the metal processing welding equipment. This can achieve targeted spray cooling treatment for the welding position, thereby quickly reducing the temperature of the welding area and reducing the range of the heat-affected zone.

[0026] Please see Figure 1-4 One embodiment of this utility model provides a rapid cooling and shaping device for metal processing and welding, including an outer support frame 4, and further including...
[0027] A secondary cooling water tank 5 and a main storage water tank 12 are installed on both sides inside the outer support frame 4, respectively. A semiconductor cooling chip 3 and a fan 16 are installed on the secondary cooling water tank 5 in sequence.
[0028] A PLC controller 2 is installed at one end of the external support frame 4. A second water pump 11 is installed between the auxiliary cooling water tank 5 and the main storage water tank 12. An ultrasonic water level sensor 1 and a temperature sensor 6 are installed sequentially on the auxiliary cooling water tank 5.
[0029] One end of the semiconductor cooling chip 3 is provided with a cooling surface 17 embedded inside the auxiliary cooling water tank 5;
[0030] A heating surface 18 is provided at one end of the semiconductor cooling chip 3 near the fan 16;
[0031] The fan 16 is connected to the auxiliary cooling water tank 5 via screws to form a disassembly and installation structure. The semiconductor cooling chip 3 and the temperature sensor 6 are both provided with a waterproof sealant layer between themselves and the auxiliary cooling water tank 5.
[0032] When in use, the semiconductor cooling chip 3 is powered on, and its cooling surface 17, embedded inside the auxiliary cooling water tank 5, cools the water. Meanwhile, its exposed heating surface 18 is cooled by the airflow generated by the fan 16. This optimizes the cooling effect of the semiconductor cooling chip 3 and prevents the cooling surface 17 from being affected by the insufficient heat dissipation of the heating surface 18. At the same time, the temperature sensor 6 monitors the temperature of the cold water inside the auxiliary cooling water tank 5 in real time and feeds the monitored data back to the PLC controller 2 to realize intelligent control of the temperature of the coolant inside the auxiliary cooling water tank 5. This can prevent the cooling and shaping operation of metal processing welding from being too high, and prevent the water from freezing into a solid and causing energy waste from being too low.
[0033] The welding head is fitted with a cover 7, which is connected to one side of the auxiliary cooling water tank 5. Both ends of the welding head is fitted with a semi-circular cooling shell 20. Spray nozzles 19 are evenly arranged at the bottom of the inner wall of the semi-circular cooling shell 20. A rubber hose 21 is connected to the semi-circular cooling shell 20, and an assembly pipe head 8 is fixed between adjacent rubber hoses 21.
[0034] A first water pump 10 is installed at the bottom of the auxiliary cooling water tank 5, and a corrugated hose 9 is installed between the assembly pipe head 8 and the first water pump 10.
[0035] Two semi-circular cooling shells 20 are provided, and the top of the semi-circular cooling shells 20 is threaded with locking bolts 13, so that the two semi-circular cooling shells 20 can be closed and fitted onto the welding head of the corresponding metal processing welding equipment.
[0036] In use, the user can close and attach the two semi-circular cooling shells 20 that make up the welding head cover 7 to the processing head of the metal processing welding equipment, and then rotate the locking bolt 13 to connect to the corresponding mounting screw hole on the processing head of the metal processing welding equipment to complete the assembly of the welding head cover 7. In specific operation, the first water pump 10 is started, and the coolant is introduced into the two semi-circular cooling shells 20 of the welding head cover 7 through the assembly pipe head 8 and the corrugated hose 9. Then, through the nozzles 19 arranged at the bottom of the inner wall of the semi-circular cooling shell 20, it is evenly sprayed onto the processing head position of the metal processing welding equipment. This can achieve targeted spray cooling treatment for the welding position, thereby quickly reducing the temperature of the welding area and reducing the range of the heat-affected zone.
[0037] Casters 14 are installed at the bottom of both ends of one side of the outer support frame 4, and an operating handle 15 is fixed on the outer support frame 4 above the casters 14;
[0038] The ultrasonic water level sensor 1 is installed on the top of the auxiliary cooling water tank 5, and the probe of the temperature sensor 6 extends into the interior of the auxiliary cooling water tank 5.
[0039] In use, the ultrasonic water level sensor 1 emits ultrasonic waves at the top of the auxiliary cooling water tank 5 and receives the reflected echoes from the water surface. It calculates the water level by the time difference and feeds back the monitored water level data to the PLC controller 2. This ensures that when the water in the auxiliary cooling water tank 5 is insufficient, the PLC controller 2 controls the second water pump 11 to automatically pump the coolant from the main storage water tank 12 into the auxiliary cooling water tank 5 for replenishment. This enables the device to achieve intelligent liquid replenishment and improves working efficiency.
[0040] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: First, an external power supply is connected. The user can assemble the two semi-circular cooling shells 20 that make up the welding head cover 7 and attach them to the processing head of the metal processing welding equipment. Then, the locking bolt 13 is rotated and connected to the corresponding mounting screw hole on the processing head of the metal processing welding equipment to complete the assembly of the welding head cover 7. During specific operation, the first water pump 10 is started, and coolant is introduced into the two semi-circular cooling shells 20 of the welding head cover 7 through the assembly pipe head 8 and the corrugated hose 9. Then, through the nozzles 19 arranged at the bottom of the inner wall of the semi-circular cooling shell 20, it is evenly sprayed onto the processing head of the metal processing welding equipment. This can achieve targeted spray cooling treatment for the welding position, thereby quickly reducing the temperature of the welding area and reducing the range of the heat-affected zone. At the same time, the semiconductor cooling chip 3 is powered on, and its cooling surface 17 embedded in the auxiliary cooling water tank 5 cools the water, while its exposed heating surface 18 is cooled by the air generated by the fan 16. This is superior to The cooling effect of the semiconductor cooling chip 3 is improved, and the cooling effect of the cooling surface 17 is not affected by the untimely heat dissipation of the heating surface 18. At the same time, the temperature sensor 6 monitors the temperature of the cold water inside the auxiliary cooling water tank 5 in real time and feeds the monitored data back to the PLC controller 2 to realize intelligent control of the temperature of the coolant inside the auxiliary cooling water tank 5. This can avoid the effect of the cooling and shaping operation for metal processing welding due to excessively high coolant temperature, and avoid the water freezing into a solid and energy waste due to excessively low coolant temperature. In addition, the ultrasonic water level sensor 1 emits ultrasonic waves at the top of the auxiliary cooling water tank 5 and receives the reflected echo from the water surface. The water level is calculated by the time difference and the monitored water level data is fed back to the PLC controller 2. This ensures that when the water in the auxiliary cooling water tank 5 is insufficient, the PLC controller 2 controls the second water pump 11 to automatically pump the coolant from the main storage water tank 12 into the auxiliary cooling water tank 5 to replenish it. This enables the device to realize intelligent liquid replenishment function and improve work efficiency.
