Description

A cooling device for crude copper production Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of non-ferrous metal processing technology, specifically a cooling device for crude copper production. Background Technology

[0002] Anode copper, commonly known as "crude copper," is an intermediate copper product smelted from copper concentrate. It typically contains 98% to 99% copper and serves as the raw material for the electrolytic production of cathode copper. It is usually smelted and cast into copper ingots before undergoing secondary purification and processing. After being smelted and cast into copper ingots, it needs to be cooled before storage.

[0003] In existing methods of cooling crude copper production, most cooling methods still use water cooling. However, this process generates a large amount of water vapor, which heats the falling water droplets as it rises, causing the cooling water to carry its own heat before cooling, thus affecting the cooling effect on the crude copper ingots. Therefore, a cooling device for crude copper production is proposed to solve the above-mentioned problems. Summary of the Invention

Adjustment plates are fixedly connected to both sides of the mounting frame. Both adjustment plates are inclined. Rollers are rotatably connected to the front of both adjustment plates. Both adjustment plates are telescopic.

[0013] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the roller can convert sliding friction into rolling friction, thereby reducing the friction between the coarse copper ingot and the adjusting plate when the adjusting plate is adjusting the coarse copper ingot to be centered.

[0014] Furthermore, the conveyor belt is perforated and is made of high-temperature resistant metal; the conveyor belt is used to transport crude copper ingots.

[0015] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the conveyor belt is hollowed out to facilitate the drainage of cooling water used to cool the crude copper ingots.

[0017] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the water barrier can prevent water vapor from entering the protective shell.

[0018] Furthermore, the spraying mechanism includes two spray pipes, both of which are fixedly connected to the top of the mounting frame and are symmetrically distributed from left to right. The two spray pipes are connected by the same annular pipe located outside the through hole.

[0020] Furthermore, the collection mechanism includes a water collection tank, one side of which is connected to a drain pipe extending to the outside of the fixing frame, and the inside of the water collection tank is fixedly connected to an interception net located outside the drain pipe.

[0021] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the interception net can intercept the copper slag that falls off the cooling water. Attached Figure Description

[0031] The roller 11 can convert sliding friction into rolling friction, reducing the friction between the coarse copper ingot and the adjusting plate 10 when the adjusting plate 10 is adjusting the coarse copper ingot to be centered.

[0032] The conveyor belt 3 is hollowed out and is made of high-temperature resistant metal belt. The conveyor belt 3 is used to transport crude copper ingots.

[0033] The conveyor belt 3 is designed with a hollowed-out structure to facilitate the drainage of cooling water used to cool the crude copper ingots;

The two spray pipes 501 are connected by the same annular pipe 502 located outside the through hole 8. The bottom of both spray pipes 501 and the annular pipe 502 are connected to a number of spray heads 503 that are evenly distributed. The left side of the left spray pipe 501 is connected to a connecting valve 504 located on the left side of the fixed frame 1. The connecting valve 504 is connected to an external water supply pipe.
