Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of conveying device technology, and in particular to a cooling conveying line. Background Technology

[0002] After machining, automotive aluminum alloy castings and other products need to be cleaned in a cleaning machine. However, the residual temperature of the products at this time is too high. Directly performing leak tests on these products would cause instability in the leak detection results. Typically, the products need to be removed from the cleaning machine, piled up, and allowed to cool naturally for a period before being transported to testing equipment. This process leads to product congestion and hinders overall production efficiency. Therefore, there is an urgent need for equipment that can improve the efficiency of product transport and transfer. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a cooling conveyor line to solve one or more technical problems existing in the prior art, and at least provide a beneficial option or create conditions.

[0004] The solution to the technical problem of this utility model is:

[0005] A cooling conveyor line includes: a frame with an insulated chamber extending in a left-right direction, and an insulated channel arranged along its length inside the insulated chamber; a conveying device disposed within the insulated channel, the conveying device being arranged in a left-right direction; and a cooling assembly including an air supply device and a return air device, the air supply device being used to supply air to the insulated chamber, and the return air device being disposed in the insulated chamber near the end of the conveying device, the return air device being used to draw air from the insulated chamber and send it to the air supply device.

[0006] This technical solution has at least the following beneficial effects: In use, one end of the conveying device can be positioned next to the external product processing equipment, while the other end can be positioned next to the external testing equipment. Processed products requiring cooling are placed on the conveying device, which then transports them into the insulation chamber. An air supply device can supply air into the insulation chamber, and the airflow flows along the insulation channel, blowing onto the products conveyed by the conveying device. As the products move along the insulation channel from one end to the other, the airflow continuously carries away heat from their surface, gradually reducing their temperature, thus achieving product cooling. A return air device is installed near the end of the conveyor in the insulated chamber. Since the temperature of the product is low near the end of the conveyor in the insulated chamber, the temperature of the insulated chamber at that location also decreases. At this time, the return air device can draw air from that location, resend it, and mix it with the air supply device. The air supply device then reuses this portion of cold air and inputs it into the insulated chamber to cool the product. This effectively reduces the loss of cold air and lowers the energy consumption required to cool the product. In this way, the product can be cooled while being conveyed to another workstation, reducing the waiting time required for the product to cool down and effectively improving overall production efficiency.

[0007] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the heat preservation chamber is provided with a cooling section and a heat preservation section in sequence along the conveying direction of the conveying device. The air supply device includes a first air supply fan provided in the cooling section and a second air supply fan provided in the heat preservation section. A first air supply pipe is provided on the top side of the cooling section. The first air supply pipe is provided with a plurality of first air outlets facing the beginning of the conveying device. The first air supply fan is connected to the first air supply pipe. A second air supply pipe is provided on the top side of the heat preservation section. A plurality of second air outlets are provided on the bottom side of the second air supply pipe in the left-right direction. The return air device includes a first exhaust fan provided in the cooling section. The first exhaust fan can draw air from the heat preservation chamber and send it to the second air supply fan.

[0008] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, an exhaust shell is provided on the top side of the insulated chamber near the end of the conveying device, and a return air duct extending in the front-back direction is provided on the bottom side of the exhaust shell, and the first exhaust fan is connected to the return air duct.

[0009] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the return air device also includes a second exhaust fan, which is located on the inner top side of the insulation section near the cooling section. The second exhaust fan can draw air from the insulation section and send it to the first and second exhaust fans.

[0010] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the air supply device further includes a first cooler, which can supply cold air to the first blower.

[0011] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the air supply device further includes a second cooler, which can supply cold air to the second blower.

[0012] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the conveying device includes a belt conveyor, wherein the belt conveyor is provided with at least two conveyor belts spaced apart in the front-to-back direction.

[0013] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, multiple temperature sensors are arranged in the insulated chamber along the left and right directions.

[0014] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the side wall of the insulated chamber is detachably connected to a door panel.

[0015] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the side wall of the insulated chamber is provided with an observation window.

[0025] Reference Figure 1 The cooling conveyor line includes a frame 100, a conveying device 200, a cooling assembly, and a return air device. The frame 100 has an insulated chamber 110 extending in a left-right direction, with an insulated channel running along its length inside. The conveying device 200 is located within the insulated channel and also extends in a left-right direction, allowing it to convey products from left to right or right to left. The cooling assembly includes an air supply device and a return air device. The air supply device supplies air to the insulated chamber 110, and the return air device is located near the end of the conveying device 200. The return air device draws air from the insulated chamber 110 and returns it to the air supply device. A duct connects the return air device and the air supply device, allowing airflow to travel from the return air device to the air supply device.

[0026] As described above, in use, one end of the conveyor 200 can be positioned next to the external product processing equipment, while the other end can be positioned next to the external testing equipment. Processed products requiring cooling are placed on the conveyor 200, which then transports them into the insulation chamber 110. An air supply device can supply air into the insulation chamber 110, and the airflow flows along the insulation channel, blowing onto the products conveyed by the conveyor 200. As the products move along the insulation channel from one end to the other, the airflow continuously carries away heat from their surface, gradually lowering their temperature and thus achieving product cooling. Meanwhile, within the insulation chamber… A return air device is installed near the end of the conveyor 200 in the insulation chamber 110. Since the temperature of the product is low near the end of the conveyor 200 in the insulation chamber 110, the temperature of the insulation chamber 110 at that position is also reduced. At this time, the return air device can draw air from that position, resend it, and mix it with the air supply device. The air supply device then reuses this portion of cold air and inputs it into the insulation chamber 110 to cool the product. This can effectively reduce the loss of cold energy and reduce the energy consumption required to cool the product. In this way, the product can be cooled while being conveyed to another workstation, reducing the waiting time required for the product to stand still and cool down, and effectively improving the overall production efficiency.

[0027] Because the insulation chamber 110 is quite long, the air supply device can be equipped with multiple air supply points within the insulation chamber 110 to ensure the cooling effect on the product, such as... Figure 2 As shown in the diagram, the arrows indicate the airflow direction. In this embodiment, the insulation chamber 110 is sequentially provided with a cooling section 111 and an insulation section 112 along the conveying direction of the conveying device 200. The air supply device includes a first air supply fan 310 disposed in the cooling section 111 and a second air supply fan 320 disposed in the insulation section 112. A first air supply pipe 330 is disposed on the top side of the cooling section 111. The first air supply pipe 330 is provided with a plurality of first air outlets facing the beginning of the conveying device 200. The first air supply fan 310 is connected to the first air supply pipe 320. Pipe 330, the top side of the insulation section 112 is provided with a second air supply pipe 340, the bottom side of the second air supply pipe 340 is provided with a plurality of second air outlets in the left and right direction, the return air device includes a first exhaust fan 350 provided in the cooling section 111, the first exhaust fan 350 can draw air from the insulation chamber 110 and send it to the second air supply fan 320. Naturally, a pipe is provided between the air outlet end of the first exhaust fan 350 and the air inlet end of the second air supply fan 320, so that the air outlet of the first exhaust fan 350 can be transported to the second air supply fan 320 through the pipe.

[0028] In this embodiment, the product undergoes initial cooling in the cooling section 111, and then enters the insulation section 112 for further cooling and temperature stabilization. Specifically, the first blower 310 supplies air to the first air duct 330 on the top side of the cooling section 111. Since the multiple first air outlets on the first air duct 330 face the beginning of the conveying device 200, the airflow blown by the first blower 310 flows towards the beginning of the conveying device 200. At this time, the airflow direction is opposite to the product conveying direction, which can remove the surface temperature of the product. When it reaches the position of the cooling section 111 near the beginning of the conveying device 200, the airflow temperature is the highest and it is directly discharged to the outside. In the insulation section 112... Inside section 112, the second blower 320 supplies air to the second air duct 340 inside. Multiple second air outlets in the left and right directions in the insulation section 112 discharge air downwards, making the temperature distribution in the insulation section 112 more uniform, thereby better controlling the product temperature. Some of the airflow in the insulation section 112 enters the cooling section 111 or exits the insulation section 112, while some airflow is extracted from the insulation chamber 110 by the first exhaust fan 350 and sent to the first blower 310 through the pipeline, realizing the recycling of some cold air. In this way, the insulation chamber 110 is set in sections to perform initial cooling and secondary cooling and temperature control on the product, effectively improving the cooling and transmission effect of the product.

[0029] To improve the effect of cold air recovery in the insulation chamber 110, in this embodiment, an exhaust shell 360 is provided on the top side of the insulation chamber 110 near the end of the conveying device 200. A return air trough extending in the front-back direction is provided on the bottom side of the exhaust shell 360. The first exhaust fan 350 is connected to the return air trough. Naturally, the first exhaust fan 350 can be directly connected to the exhaust shell 360, or a pipe can be connected between the first exhaust fan 350 and the exhaust shell 360, so that the first exhaust fan 350 can draw airflow from the insulation section 112 from the return air trough. In use, the first exhaust fan 350 draws air from the exhaust casing 360 through the pipe. Since the return air groove on the bottom side of the exhaust casing 360 extends in the front-to-back direction, the insulation section 112 can form a suction curtain near the end of the conveying device 200, which can effectively reduce the air in the insulation section 112 from being discharged outward, thereby better recovering the cold air in the insulation section 112. After the recovered airflow enters the exhaust casing 360 from the return air groove, the first exhaust fan 350 will send the airflow back to the second blower 320 for reuse.

[0030] Part of the airflow entering the insulation section 112 can directly enter the cooling section 111 and mix with the airflow sent into the cooling section 111, thereby cooling the product in the cooling section 111. In order to better promote the circulation of airflow in the insulation section 112, in this embodiment, the return air device also includes a second exhaust fan 370. The second exhaust fan 370 is disposed on the inner top side of the insulation section 112 near the end of the cooling section 111. The second exhaust fan 370 can draw air from the insulation section 112 and send it to the first blower 310 and the second blower 320. Naturally, the air outlet of the second exhaust fan 370 is connected to the air inlet of the first blower 310 and the air inlet of the second blower 320 respectively through pipes, so that the second exhaust fan 370 can supply air to the first blower 310 and the second blower 320. In use, the second exhaust fan 370 draws air from one end of the insulation section 112 near the cooling section 111. At this time, most of the airflow flowing from the insulation section 112 to the cooling section 111 can be drawn away. Part of the drawn airflow can be input to the first supply fan 310, which mixes in supplementary air and supplies it into the cooling section 111. The other part of the drawn airflow can be input to the second supply fan 320, which mixes in supplementary air and sends it back to the insulation section 112. This allows for more flexible control of the airflow direction within the insulation section 112.

[0031] In practical applications, a flow control valve can also be installed in the air supply pipe from the second exhaust fan 370 to the first blower 310 and the second blower 320. The flow control valve can flexibly adjust the airflow distribution flow rate extracted by the second exhaust fan 370, thereby controlling the flow rate of the recovered cold air supplied to the cooling section 111 and the insulation section 112.

[0032] In the above embodiment, the first blower 310 can only supply natural cold air to the cooling section 111. However, to improve the cooling effect on the product, in this embodiment, the air supply device also includes a first cooler 380. The first cooler 380 can supply cold air to the first blower 310. Naturally, the air inlet of the first blower 310 can be connected to the cold air outlet of the first cooler 380 through a pipe, thereby enabling the first cooler 380 to provide cold air to the first blower 310. The first cooler 380 is mainly used to provide cold air. It can use the evaporator in the air conditioning system to provide cooling capacity, or it can use the cooling surface of the semiconductor refrigeration chip to provide cooling capacity. In use, the first cooler 380 supplies cold air to the first blower 310. At this time, the lower temperature cold air can be sent into the cooling section 111, which greatly improves the cooling effect on the product.

[0033] Similarly, the second blower 320 can supply only natural cold air into the insulation section 112. However, to improve the cooling effect on the product, in this embodiment, the air supply device also includes a second cooler 390. The second cooler 390 can supply cold air to the second blower 320. Naturally, the air inlet of the second blower 320 can be connected to the cold air outlet of the second cooler 390 through a pipe, thereby enabling the second cooler 390 to provide cold air to the second blower 320. The second cooler 390 is mainly used to provide cold air. It can use the evaporator in the air conditioning system to provide cooling capacity, or it can use the cooling surface of the semiconductor cooling chip to provide cooling capacity. In use, the second cooler 390 supplies cold air to the second blower 320. At this time, the cold air with a lower temperature can be sent into the insulation section 112, which greatly improves the cooling effect on the product.

[0034] The conveying device 200 is mainly used for conveying products. It has various structural forms. In this embodiment, the conveying device 200 includes a belt conveyor. The belt conveyor has at least two conveyor belts spaced apart in the front-to-back direction; for example, there are two conveyor belts spaced apart in the front-to-back direction. Products are placed on the two conveyor belts, and the gap between the two conveyor belts allows for the avoidance of protruding parts of the products. Through the cyclical rotation of the two conveyor belts, the products can be transferred from one end of the insulated chamber 110 to the other end.

[0035] To facilitate temperature monitoring inside the insulation chamber 110, in this embodiment, multiple temperature sensors are arranged along the left-right direction inside the insulation chamber 110. These multiple temperature sensors can monitor the temperature at different locations inside the insulation chamber 110, thereby facilitating temperature adjustment for different products.

[0036] To facilitate product adjustments during transport, in this embodiment, a door panel 113 is detachably connected to the side wall of the insulation chamber 110. In practical applications, the door panel 113 can be fixed to the insulation chamber 110 via clips or screws, or it can be hinged to the insulation chamber 110. When the product is cooling down, the door panel 113 can be opened to adjust the position of the product inside the insulation chamber 110, improving the convenience of use and production.

[0037] Furthermore, the side wall of the insulated chamber 110 is provided with an observation window. During use, the production situation inside the insulated chamber 110 can be observed through the observation window, improving production convenience.

[0038] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described. Those skilled in the art can make various equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. All such equivalent modifications or substitutions are included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
