Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a cooling device for aluminum profile alloys. Background Technology
[0002] Aluminum profiles undergo multiple processes during processing and forming, including cooling. Existing production lines primarily use spray cooling, where aluminum profiles are conveyed via high-temperature resistant steel belts to a spray device for spray cooling. This method is effective for bar stock, but for many pre-cast aluminum profiles with internal channels, this surface cooling method cannot effectively achieve overall cooling.
[0003] Therefore, in the existing technology, immersion cooling is used in cooling tanks. However, immersion cooling is difficult to implement in assembly line production and can only be carried out in batches, which is inefficient.
[0004] Based on the above problems, we designed an aluminum profile alloy cooling device that can achieve automated cooling and has high cooling efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an aluminum profile alloy cooling device that can achieve automated cooling and has high cooling efficiency.
[0006] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0007] A cooling device for aluminum profile alloys includes a cooling tank with an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe on its side, the inlet and outlet pipes being staggered vertically. Grooves are provided at the front and rear positions of the cooling tank. A transmission device is provided on the outside of the cooling tank corresponding to the grooves, with the transmission devices at both ends of the cooling tank operating synchronously. An up-and-down movable support device is provided inside the cooling tank, supporting the aluminum profile being cooled. Two electric push rods are provided outside the cooling tank, cooperating with the support device to cool the aluminum profile. A baffle device is provided at the upper part of the cooling trough, near the front groove. When there is no aluminum profile on the surface of the supporting device, the cooled aluminum profile slides into the groove from the rear and is supported by the supporting device, and then is limited by the end of the baffle device. When the supporting device sinks into the cooling trough after supporting the aluminum profile, the aluminum profile slides forward along the supporting device. When the aluminum profile is cooled, the supporting device moves upward. At this time, the aluminum profile is located below the baffle device. As the supporting device continues to move upward, the aluminum profile pushes against the baffle device and moves upward until the aluminum profile slides out from the front transmission device.
[0008] Preferably, the transmission device includes a transmission shaft, on which a transmission roller is fixed. The transmission roller has multiple rough friction parts that contact the aluminum profile. A frame plate supporting the rotation of the transmission shaft is provided outside the cooling tank. A bearing is fitted between the transmission shaft and the frame plate. A driven pulley is installed at one end of the transmission shaft, and a transmission belt is fitted between the two driven pulleys. A geared motor is installed on the side of the cooling tank, and a drive pulley for driving the transmission belt is installed at the output end of the geared motor.
[0009] Preferably, a bearing seat is installed at the top side of the cooling tank, and a transition shaft is rotatably fitted through the bearing seat. One end of the transition shaft is equipped with an active friction wheel, and the other end is equipped with a first driven pulley. The first driven pulley meshes with the outer side of the transmission belt, and the active friction wheel cooperates with the support device.
[0010] Preferably, the supporting device includes a frame with an upper surface that is inclined downwards towards the material blocking device. Multiple rollers are rotatably mounted within the frame, and rollers are fixed to the rollers. The height of the rollers is inclined downwards towards the material blocking device, causing the aluminum profile falling onto the rollers to be conveyed towards the material blocking device. A connecting bracket is provided at the upper part of the frame, connecting the electric push rod. When the rear roller is aligned with the rear drive roller, the height of the front roller is lower than the height of the front drive roller. At this time, the high-temperature aluminum profile entering from the rear is blocked by the material blocking device as it is conveyed forward along the rollers. Even when the frame moves downwards and the aluminum profile is removed from the obstruction of the material blocking device, the height of the front end of the aluminum profile is lower than the height of the front groove. One end of one of the rollers is provided with a passive friction wheel. As the frame moves to the discharge height, the active friction wheel contacts the passive friction wheel.
[0011] Preferably, the baffle device includes ear plates installed on both sides of the cooling tank. A through hole is vertically penetrating the surface of the ear plate. A sliding rod is slidably fitted in the through hole. A connecting rod is fixedly installed between the two sliding rods. A baffle roller is rotatably installed on the connecting rod. When the aluminum profile is cooled from the cooling tank and moves upward, the aluminum profile pushes the baffle roller upward. When the height of the roller at the front end is level with the front drive roller, the aluminum profile moves out from the front drive roller.
[0012] Preferably, a water receiving trough is provided at the front end of the cooling trough, and an overflow hole is provided at the front end of the cooling trough, the height of which is lower than the bottom height of the groove.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This equipment can be used in aluminum profile production lines. The finished aluminum profiles enter the upper part of the cooling tank and are supported by a support device. During the support process, subsequent feeding is stopped. Then, after the support device moves down, the aluminum profiles are immersed in the cooling tank for high cooling efficiency. The aluminum profiles supported by the support device are in an inclined state, which facilitates the discharge of the coolant inside after the support device moves up. After the support device moves up, the aluminum profiles slide out. Then, the height of the support device is lowered slightly, and the next feeding can begin, achieving continuous cooling with high efficiency. It is suitable for widespread use.

[0025] like Figure 1 The aluminum profile alloy cooling device shown includes a cooling tank 1. An inlet pipe 101 and an outlet pipe 102 are provided on the side of the cooling tank 1, and the inlet pipe 101 and the outlet pipe 102 are staggered vertically. Grooves 103 are provided at the front and rear positions of the cooling tank 1. A transmission device 2 is provided on the outside of the cooling tank 1, corresponding to the grooves 103. The transmission devices 2 at both ends of the cooling tank 1 operate synchronously. An up-and-down movable support device 3 is provided inside the cooling tank 1, supporting the aluminum profile being cooled. Two electric push rods 4 are provided on the outside of the cooling tank 1, and the electric push rods 4 cooperate with the support device 3. Device 3 has a baffle device 5 located at the upper part of the cooling tank 1, near the front end of the groove 103. When there is no aluminum profile on the surface of the supporting device 3, the aluminum profile to be cooled slides into the groove 103 from the rear and is supported by the supporting device 3, and then is limited by the end of the baffle device 5. When the supporting device 3 sinks into the cooling tank 1 after supporting the aluminum profile, the aluminum profile slides forward along the supporting device 3. When the aluminum profile is cooled, the supporting device 3 moves upward. At this time, the aluminum profile is located below the baffle device 5. As the supporting device 3 continues to move upward, the aluminum profile pushes against the baffle device 5 and moves upward until the aluminum profile slides out from the front of the transmission device 2.
[0026] In the above technical solution, the aluminum profile is carried into the water by the support device 3 to achieve cooling. After the predetermined time is reached, the support device 3 carries the aluminum profile upward and slides out from the front end of the cooling tank 1.
[0027] This technical solution enables automated cooling of aluminum profiles, eliminating the need for manual handling and picking.
[0028] In addition to the basic structure mentioned above, it also includes a controller to control the connected electric actuator.
[0029] See Figure 2 As shown, the transmission device 2 includes a transmission shaft 21, on which a transmission roller 22 is fixed. The transmission roller 22 has multiple rough friction parts 23, which contact the aluminum profile. A frame plate 24 supporting the rotation of the transmission shaft 21 is provided outside the cooling tank 1. A bearing 25 is fitted between the transmission shaft 21 and the frame plate 24. A driven pulley 26 is installed at one end of the transmission shaft 21, and a transmission belt 27 is fitted between the two driven pulleys 26. A geared motor (not shown) is installed on the side of the cooling tank 1, and a drive pulley (not shown) driving the transmission belt 27 is installed at the output end of the geared motor.
[0030] In the above technical solution, torque is output through a geared motor, and the transmission belt 27 drives the transmission shafts 21 on both sides to rotate synchronously.
[0031] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a bearing seat 121 is installed on one side of the top of the cooling tank 1. A transition shaft 131 is rotatably fitted through the bearing seat 121. One end of the transition shaft 131 is equipped with an active friction wheel 141, and the other end is equipped with a first driven pulley 151. The first driven pulley 151 meshes with the outer side of the transmission belt 27. The active friction wheel 141 cooperates with the support device 3.
[0032] In the above technical solution, the active friction wheel 141, in conjunction with the support device 3, allows the aluminum profile to slide more smoothly off the surface of the support device 3.
[0033] See Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the supporting device 3 includes a frame 31, the upper surface of which is an inclined plane that slopes downward toward the material blocking device 5. Multiple rollers 32 are rotatably mounted inside the frame 31, and rollers 33 are fixed on the rollers 32. The height of the rollers 33 slopes downward toward the material blocking device 5, so that the aluminum profile falling onto the rollers 33 is conveyed toward the material blocking device 5. A connecting bracket 34 is provided at the upper part of the frame 31, through which the electric push rod 4 is connected; when the roller at the rear end... When roller 33 is aligned with the rear drive roller 22, the height of the front roller 33 is lower than the height of the front drive roller 22. At this time, the high-temperature aluminum profile entering from the rear is blocked by the baffle device 5 when it is conveyed forward along the roller 33. Even when the frame 31 moves downward, when the aluminum profile is removed from the baffle device 5, the height of the front end of the aluminum profile is lower than the height of the front groove 103. One end of one of the roller shafts 32 is provided with a passive friction wheel 331. As the frame 31 moves to the discharge height, the active friction wheel 141 contacts the passive friction wheel 331.
[0034] In the above technical solution, the aluminum profile is smoothly slid out by the rotation of one of the rollers 32 and the roller 33.
[0035] To increase friction, the surface of the roller 33 that is adapted to the passive friction wheel 331 is machined to form a rough contact surface.
[0036] See Figure 5 As shown, the baffle device 5 includes ear plates 51 installed on both sides of the cooling tank. A through hole 52 is vertically penetrating the surface of the ear plate 51. A slide rod 53 is slidably fitted in the through hole 52. A connecting rod 54 is fixedly installed between the two slide rods 53. A baffle roller 55 is rotatably installed on the connecting rod 54. When the aluminum profile is cooled from the cooling tank and moves upward, the aluminum profile pushes the baffle roller upward. When the height of the roller at the front end is flush with the front drive roller, the aluminum profile moves out from the front drive roller.
[0037] See Figure 1 As shown, a water receiving tank 133 is provided at the front end of the cooling tank 1, and an overflow hole 144 is provided at the front end of the cooling tank 1. The height of the overflow hole 144 is lower than the bottom height of the groove 101; the overflow hole 144 is located inside the water receiving tank 133.
[0038] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions conceived without inventive effort should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope defined in the claims.
