Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of irradiation processing of wires and cables, specifically an irradiation machine for processing power cables. Background Technology
[0002] A wire and cable irradiation machine is a device used in the production process of wires and cables to treat cables through radiation cross-linking technology. Its working principle is to use high-energy radiation (such as electron beams or gamma rays) to irradiate the polymer materials of wires and cables, thereby changing their molecular structure and improving the performance of wires and cables.
[0003] In practical applications, the copper core of the cable passes through an extruder, which melts and extrudes plastic granules onto the surface of the copper core. The molten plastic granules then act as an insulating layer, uniformly wrapping the copper core to form the cable. The cable then enters an irradiation machine for irradiation treatment. The irradiation machine bombards the insulation layer of the cable with a high-energy electron beam, altering the molecular structure of the insulation layer and thus extending the service life of the cable.
[0004] The effect of cable irradiation treatment is mainly related to the irradiation energy, as well as the temperature and humidity of the cable. Cables processed by extruders have relatively high external insulation layer temperatures, which affects the irradiation effect of the cables. Utility Model Content
[0005] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an irradiation machine for processing power cables, so as to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an irradiation machine for processing power cables, comprising an ultraviolet irradiation machine and an extruder, wherein a dehumidification component is provided on one side of the ultraviolet irradiation machine, and a cooling pool is provided on one side of the dehumidification component, the cooling pool being composed of a first water collection tank, a second water collection tank and a third water collection tank, and a water inlet being provided on the side of the first water collection tank, and two sets of guide components being rotatably connected inside the cooling pool, wherein the guide components include guide wheels.
[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, a cooling pool is set up, which consists of three sets of water collection tanks. An overflow tank is set between two adjacent sets of water collection tanks, so that the cooling water can be sprayed onto the cable in stages. When the cooling water circulates and absorbs the temperature of the cable, the temperature of the cooling water will rise. The three sets of water collection tanks can help the cooling water to fully contact the air, so that the cooling water can dissipate heat quickly, thereby improving the efficiency of the cooling water in cooling the cable.
[0008] The present invention is further configured such that the two sets of guide wheels are distributed on both sides of the cable, and the diameters of the guide wheels on both sides match those of the cable.
[0009] Preferably, by setting guide wheels distributed on both sides of the cable, the movement of the cable can be supported and guided.
[0010] The present invention is further configured such that stirring blades are provided at both ends of the guide assembly.
[0011] Preferably, by setting stirring blades at both ends of the guide wheel, the cooling water can be stirred, making the cooling water temperature more uniform, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the cable.
[0012] The present invention is further configured such that baffles are provided at both ends of the third water collection tank, and a sponge sleeve is provided at the bottom of the baffle, and the diameter of the sponge sleeve matches the diameter of the cable.
[0013] Preferably, by setting a sponge sleeve, the sponge sleeve will absorb more cooling water. Compared with sleeves made of other materials, the sponge sleeve can not only slow down the rate of cooling water loss, but also cool the cable immediately after absorbing the cooling water. Furthermore, the sponge sleeve will not cause abrasion to the cable when it is wrapped around the cable.
[0014] The present invention is further configured such that a fourth water collection tank is provided at both ends of the cooling pool, and a water outlet is provided at the bottom of the fourth water collection tank.
[0015] Preferably, by setting a fourth water collection tank and a water outlet, the water in the cooling pool can be drained and then added back into the cooling pool by a circulating pump.
[0016] The present invention is further configured such that multiple overflow channels are provided on one side of both the first water collection tank and the second water collection tank.
[0017] Preferably, by providing overflow channels on the sides of the first and second water collection tanks, the cooling water can fully contact the air, thereby accelerating the heat dissipation of the cooling water.
[0018] The present invention is further configured such that the water inlet is used to connect to an external water pipe.
[0019] Preferably, by setting up a pipe connection between the inlet and outlet, and adding a circulation pump, the cooling water can be recycled.
[0020] The present invention is further configured such that the dehumidification component includes a housing, and two sets of dehumidification wheels are symmetrically arranged inside the housing, with the two sets of dehumidification wheels distributed on both sides of the cable.
[0021] Preferably, by setting a dehumidifying wheel, the dehumidifying wheel can limit the wire of the cable, and the dehumidifying wheel is equipped with water-absorbing cotton on the outside, which can absorb most of the cooling water attached to the cable.
[0022] The present invention is further configured such that the dehumidifying wheel is wrapped with absorbent cotton.
[0023] Preferably, absorbent cotton, such as viscose fiber, is placed on the outside of the dehumidifying wheel to remove moisture adhering to the cable.
[0024] The present invention is further configured such that two sets of drying components are symmetrically arranged inside the housing, and the two sets of drying components are distributed on both sides of the cable.
[0025] Preferably, a drying component can be provided to further remove moisture adhering to the cable. The drying component is a cold air drying component, which ensures that the cable is kept at a low temperature while removing moisture.
[0026] In summary, the present invention has the following main advantages:
[0027] 1. This utility model sets up a cooling pool, which consists of three sets of water collection tanks. An overflow tank is set between two adjacent sets of water collection tanks, so that the cooling water can be sprayed onto the cable in stages. When the cooling water circulates and absorbs the temperature of the cable, the temperature of the cooling water will rise. The three sets of water collection tanks can help the cooling water to fully contact the air, so that the cooling water can dissipate heat quickly, thereby improving the efficiency of the cooling water in cooling the cable.
[0028] 2. By setting up a guide component, this utility model can not only act as a conductor for the cable, but also drive the guide wheel to rotate by the movement of the cable. When the guide wheel rotates, it will drive the stirring blade to rotate, so that the cooling water is fully mixed and the cooling water temperature is more uniform, which will also have a better cooling effect on the cable.

[0037] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0038] The embodiments of this utility model will be described below based on its overall structure.
[0039] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 6 An irradiation machine for processing power cables includes an ultraviolet irradiator 1 and an extruder 2. A dehumidification component 6 is provided on one side of the ultraviolet irradiator 1, and a cooling pool 3 is provided on one side of the dehumidification component 6. The cooling pool 3 consists of a first water collection tank 301, a second water collection tank 302, and a third water collection tank 303. An inlet 304 is provided on the side of the first water collection tank 301. Two sets of guide components 4 are rotatably connected inside the cooling pool 3, and the guide components 4 include guide wheels 401. By setting the cooling pool 3, which consists of three sets of water collection tanks, and an overflow trough is provided between two adjacent sets of water collection tanks, the cooling water can be sprayed onto the cable in stages. When the cooling water circulates and absorbs the temperature of the cable, the temperature of the cooling water will rise. The three sets of water collection tanks can help the cooling water to fully contact the air, so that the cooling water can quickly dissipate heat, thereby improving the efficiency of the cooling water in cooling the cable.
[0040] Please refer to the above embodiments for further details. Figure 4 Two sets of guide wheels 401 are distributed on both sides of the cable, and the diameter of the guide wheels 401 on both sides matches that of the cable. By setting the guide wheels 401 to be distributed on both sides of the cable, the movement of the cable can be supported and guided.
[0041] Please refer to the above embodiments for further details. Figure 4 Both ends of the guide assembly 4 are provided with stirring blades 402. By providing stirring blades 402 at both ends of the guide wheel 401, the cooling water can be stirred, making the cooling water temperature more uniform, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the cable.
[0042] Please refer to the above embodiments for further details. Figure 3Both ends of the third water tank 303 are equipped with baffles 7, and the bottom of the baffles 7 is equipped with a sponge sleeve 8. The diameter of the sponge sleeve 8 matches the diameter of the cable. By setting the sponge sleeve 8, the sponge sleeve 8 will absorb more cooling water. Compared with other materials and sleeves of the same diameter, the sponge sleeve 8 can not only slow down the rate of cooling water loss, but also cool the cable immediately after absorbing the cooling water. Furthermore, when the sponge sleeve 8 is wrapped around the outside of the cable, it will not cause abrasion to the cable.
[0043] Please refer to the above embodiments for further details. Figure 6 The cooling pool 3 is equipped with a fourth water collection tank 5 at both ends, and the bottom of the fourth water collection tank 5 is provided with a water outlet 9. By setting the fourth water collection tank 5 and the water outlet 9, the water in the cooling pool 3 can be discharged and then added back into the cooling pool 3 by a circulation pump.
[0044] Please refer to the above embodiments for further details. Figure 3 Multiple overflow channels are provided on one side of the first water collection tank 301 and the second water collection tank 302. By providing overflow channels on the sides of the first water collection tank 301 and the second water collection tank 302, the cooling water can fully contact the air and accelerate the heat dissipation of the cooling water.
[0045] Please refer to the above embodiments for further details. Figure 3 The inlet 304 is used to connect to an external water pipe. By setting a pipe connection between the inlet 304 and the outlet 9, a circulation pump is added so that the cooling water can be recycled.
[0046] Please refer to the above embodiments for further details. Figure 5 The dehumidification component 6 includes a housing 601, and two sets of dehumidification wheels 602 are symmetrically arranged inside the housing 601. The two sets of dehumidification wheels 602 are distributed on both sides of the cable. By setting the dehumidification wheels 602, the dehumidification wheels 602 can play the role of limiting the cable conductor. The dehumidification wheels 602 are provided with water-absorbing cotton on the outside, which can absorb most of the cooling water attached to the cable.
[0047] Please refer to the above embodiments for further details. Figure 5 The dehumidifying wheel 602 is wrapped with absorbent cotton. The absorbent cotton, such as viscose fiber, is placed on the outside of the dehumidifying wheel 602 to remove the moisture attached to the cable.
[0048] Please refer to the above embodiments for further details. Figure 5 The housing 601 has two sets of drying components 603 symmetrically arranged inside. The two sets of drying components 603 are distributed on both sides of the cable. By setting the drying components 603, the moisture attached to the cable can be further removed. The drying components 603 are cold air drying, ensuring that the cable is kept at a low temperature while removing moisture.
[0049] In practical operation: the copper core of the cable enters the extruder 2, where the extruder 2 melts and extrudes plastic granules to coat the surface of the copper core, forming a cable. At this time, the insulation layer on the surface of the cable has a high temperature. The cable passes through the sponge sleeve 8 and enters the third water collection tank 303. Then, a cold water pipe is connected to the inlet 304, and the water flows into the first water collection tank 301. The water flows through the overflow channel of the first water collection tank 301 into the second water collection tank 302. Then, the water in the second water collection tank 302 flows through the overflow channel and sprays onto the cable and is stored in the third water collection tank 303. The water in the third water collection tank 303 slowly overflows through the sponge sleeve 8 into the fourth water collection tank 5. The water in the fourth water collection tank 5 is discharged through the outlet 9 and collected. Adding new cooling water to the cooling pool 3 and discharging it must ensure that the water in the third water collection tank 303 submerges the cable.
[0050] As the cable moves, it drives the guide wheel 401 to rotate, which in turn causes the stirring blade 402 to rotate. The rotation of the stirring blade 402 can agitate the water in the third water collection tank 303, making the water temperature distribution more uniform. After cooling, the cable enters the dehumidification assembly 6 and passes through two sets of dehumidification wheels 602. The absorbent cotton distributed on the outside of the dehumidification wheels 602 absorbs the residual moisture on the surface of the cable. Then, the cable passes between two sets of air drying assemblies 603. The air drying assemblies 603 use cold air to quickly dry the cable, ensuring that there is no moisture on the surface of the cable while keeping the cable insulation layer at a low temperature. Subsequently, the cable enters the ultraviolet irradiation machine 1, where a high-energy electron beam bombards the insulation layer of the cable, structurally modifying the insulation layer and thus improving the service life of the cable.
