Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of cable manufacturing technology, specifically a cooling device for cable manufacturing. Background Technology
[0002] Cooling processes in cable manufacturing are crucial for ensuring product quality and performance. After the insulation layer is extruded, it must be cooled immediately to prevent deformation of the high-temperature plastic due to gravity, ensuring that the thickness and shape meet design standards. For example, non-crystalline materials such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC) are shaped through rapid cooling, while materials like polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) require careful management to avoid excessively rapid crystallization that could lead to structural defects. Simultaneously, water cooling homogenizes the molecular arrangement, fixing the plastic sheath structure, enhancing tensile strength and abrasion resistance, and promoting a tighter bond between the insulation layer and the conductor, thus improving insulation performance.
[0003] In the existing technology, after the cable is immersed in cooling, coolant remains on its surface, requiring secondary air drying. However, the excessive amount of liquid remaining on the cable surface reduces the efficiency of air drying and requires more energy.
[0004] Therefore, this utility model provides a cooling device for cable manufacturing. Utility Model Content

[0022] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0023] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the present invention discloses a cooling device for cable manufacturing, comprising a cooling box 1; a set of guide rollers 11 are provided inside the cooling box 1; a through groove is formed on the side wall of the cooling box 1; a rotating cylinder 12 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the cooling box 1; the rotating cylinder 12 and the through groove are interconnected; a set of mounting grooves 15 are formed on the rotating cylinder 12; a first groove 16 is formed on both side walls of the mounting groove 15, and the side walls of the first groove 16 are open; an arc-shaped plate 13 is provided inside the mounting groove 15, and an insertion plate 17 is fixedly connected to both sides of the arc-shaped plate 13; the insertion plate 17 is installed in the first groove 16 by a mounting component; an arc-shaped sponge block 14 is fixedly connected to the arc wall inside the arc plate 13; the rotating cylinder 12 rotates through a rotating unit; existing In this technology, after the cable is immersed in cooling, coolant remains on its surface, requiring secondary air drying. However, excessive residual liquid on the cable surface reduces the efficiency of air drying and requires more energy. Therefore, this invention uses a rotating cylinder 12 during operation. The cable is guided by a set of guide rollers 11 and pulled by a traction mechanism (existing technology, not described in detail). The cable passes through the rotating cylinder 12, which rotates through a rotating unit, thereby driving the arc-shaped sponge block 14 to rotate. This wipes away the residual coolant on the surface of the cable. Of course, wiping is not drying, but only reducing the amount of coolant remaining on the cable surface to ensure the efficiency of subsequent air drying and reduce drying energy consumption. The guide rollers 11 are also existing technology and will not be described in detail.
[0024] The mounting component includes a first through groove 2; the first through groove 2 is provided on the side wall of the end of the insertion plate 17; the threaded through groove 21 is provided on the outer side wall of the rotating cylinder 12; a bolt rod 22 is threadedly connected to the threaded through groove 21, and one end of the bolt rod 22 is inserted into the first through groove 2; during operation, after the arc-shaped sponge block 14 needs to be replaced, the bolt rod 22 is rotated off, and then the arc-shaped plate 13 is removed, so that the replacement operation can be performed. Moreover, because the arc-shaped sponge block 14 has a certain elasticity, it can effectively ensure the contact area, thereby ensuring the wiping efficiency and facilitating the replacement operation.
[0025] The cooling tank 1 is rotatably connected to a pair of symmetrically distributed first rotating shafts 3; a set of stirring plates 31 are fixedly connected to the first rotating shafts 3; a servo motor 32 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the cooling tank 1 through an L-shaped plate, and the servo motor 32 drives the first rotating shafts 3 to rotate; a first gear is fixedly connected to the end of each pair of first rotating shafts 3, and the pair of first gears mesh with each other; when working, the servo motor 32 works, and due to the meshing of the first gears, it drives the first rotating shafts 3 to rotate, which in turn drives the stirring plates 31 to rotate, thereby allowing the coolant to flow and effectively improving the temperature uniformity of the entire cooling tank 1.
[0026] The rotating unit includes a first sprocket 33; the first sprocket 33 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating cylinder 12; the second sprocket is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first rotating shaft 3; the first sprocket 33 and the second sprocket are driven by a transmission chain 35;
[0027] A set of leakage channels 36 is provided on the inner wall of the rotating cylinder 12, and the set of leakage channels 36 and the set of mounting channels 15 are distributed alternately; a squeezing roller 37 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the cooling box 1, and the squeezing roller 37 is located inside the rotating cylinder 12.
[0028] A receiving box 38 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the cooling box 1 by a fixing column, and the receiving box 38 is located directly below the extrusion roller 37.
[0029] During operation, the servo motor 32 drives the rotating cylinder 12 to rotate via the first sprocket 33, the second sprocket, and the transmission chain 35. As the rotating cylinder 12 rotates, it drives the arc-shaped sponge block 14 to wipe the cable. At the same time, the rotating cylinder 12 rotates and the arc-shaped sponge block 14 is squeezed by the squeezing roller 37, causing the liquid inside the arc-shaped sponge block 14 to be squeezed out. Meanwhile, the water flows out through the leakage channel 36 and then flows down through the receiving box 38 for collection, facilitating repeated recycling.
[0030] Working principle: A rotating cylinder 12 is provided. The cable is guided by a set of guide rollers 11 and pulled by a traction mechanism (existing technology, not described in detail). The cable passes through the rotating cylinder 12, which rotates through a rotating unit, thereby driving the arc-shaped sponge block 14 to rotate. This wipes away residual coolant on the surface of the cable. Wiping is not drying; it only reduces the amount of coolant remaining on the cable surface, ensuring the efficiency of subsequent drying and reducing drying energy consumption. When the arc-shaped sponge block 14 needs to be replaced, the bolt rod 22 is rotated off, and then the arc-shaped plate 13 is removed for replacement. The arc-shaped sponge block... 14 has a certain degree of elasticity, which can effectively ensure the contact area, thereby ensuring wiping efficiency and facilitating replacement. When the servo motor 32 is working, it will drive the rotating cylinder 12 to rotate through the first sprocket 33, the second sprocket and the transmission chain 35. When the rotating cylinder 12 rotates, it will drive the arc-shaped sponge block 14 to wipe the cable. At the same time, when the rotating cylinder 12 rotates, the arc-shaped sponge block 14 will be squeezed by the squeezing roller 37, causing the liquid inside the arc-shaped sponge block 14 to be squeezed out. Meanwhile, the water will flow out through the leakage channel 36, and then the liquid will flow down through the receiving box 38 for collection, which is convenient for repeated recycling.
