Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a technical solution for a cooling water circulation device for continuous casting and rolling of copper rods, and more particularly to a cooling water circulation device for a continuous casting and rolling production line of copper rods. Background Technology

[0002] As a crucial raw material in the wire and cable industry, the production process of copper rods directly impacts product quality and production efficiency. In modern industry, continuous casting and rolling technology is commonly used for copper rod production. This technology continuously casts molten copper into copper billets of a specific cross-sectional shape and then directly rolls them while they are not fully cooled, thus achieving continuous and efficient copper rod production. Throughout the production process, the copper rods undergo a high-temperature forming stage; therefore, effective cooling methods are essential to control their temperature and ensure stable microstructure and subsequent processing quality.

[0003] In current copper rod continuous casting and rolling production lines, cooling systems largely rely on water cooling for rapid temperature reduction. Cooling water circulation devices, as crucial auxiliary equipment for ensuring stable production line operation, are widely used for rapid cooling of copper rods continuously cast and rolled at high temperatures. These devices typically include a water storage structure, a spray system, and a cooling return system. Their main function is to deliver cooling water to the surface of the copper rod for heat exchange, and then collect, cool, and reuse the used hot water through a recycling system to achieve water resource recycling and continuous production. Therefore, most equipment is equipped with corresponding cooling water circulation devices for continuous spray cooling of the copper rod, and to reuse water resources through recycling, filtration, and cooling processes. However, in practical applications, existing cooling water circulation devices generally suffer from low cooling efficiency, uneven water flow distribution, and low recycling rates. Furthermore, the ineffective recovery or low reuse rate of used cooling water also increases production costs and resource consumption to some extent.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a cooling water circulation device for a copper rod continuous casting and rolling production line to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

The first water pump 501 is electrically connected to the controller 7.

[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the switch assembly includes an electric push rod 4, a wedge block 401, a first baffle 402, a first sliding plate 403, a first guide rod 404, a second sliding plate 406, a second baffle 407, a second guide rod 408, a first spring 405, and a second spring 409. An electric push rod 4 with its output shaft facing downwards is installed on the top of the second water tank 3. The output end of the electric push rod 4 passes through the top of the second water tank 3 and is fixedly connected to the wedge block 401. A protrusion is located on the right side of the bottom of the second water tank 3. A first sliding plate 403 is located on the left side of the protrusion. A first baffle 402 is fixedly connected to the lower left side of the first sliding plate 403, and the first baffle 402 corresponds to the top of the water outlet pipe 5. A first guide rod 404 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the front and back of the right side of the first sliding plate 403, and slides through the first guide rod 404 to the upper part of the protrusion. A first guide rod 405 is located on the right side of the protrusion. Two sliding plates 406 are connected to a second baffle 407 on their right side. A water exchange port is provided on the lower right side of the second water storage tank 3, and the second baffle 407 corresponds to the water exchange port.

The electric push rod 4 is electrically connected to the controller 7.

[0025] The operator can apply the corresponding technical solutions in this device to the cooling water circulation technology of the copper rod continuous casting and rolling production line according to the specific situation. When it is necessary to use this device to assist in the operation of cooling water circulation, firstly, an appropriate amount of water is injected into the second water storage tank 3 through the water exchange port, and the condenser 301 is started by the controller 7 to cool the water. After cooling is completed, the controller 7 drives the electric push rod 4 in the switching assembly to move. The electric push rod 4 drives the inclined block 401 to move downward. The two inclined surfaces at the bottom of the inclined block 401 slide relative to the first sliding plate 403 and the second sliding plate 406, respectively, pushing the first sliding plate 403 to move to the right, thereby driving the first baffle 402 to disengage from the top opening of the water outlet pipe 5, and at the same time pushing the second sliding plate 406 to move to the right, so that the second baffle 407 closes the water exchange port, completing the switching between opening the water outlet pipe 5 and closing the water exchange port, thereby allowing the cooling water to flow from the second water storage tank 3 into the spraying assembly.

[0026] Subsequently, controller 7 activates the first water pump 501, transporting cooling water from the second water tank 3 through the outlet pipe 5 to the third water tank 502. The water is then sprayed downwards through multiple evenly distributed nozzles 503 at the bottom of the third water tank 502, uniformly cooling the copper rod located in the first water tank 1. The sprayed hot water falls back into the first water tank 1 and is then transported back to the second water tank 3 through the return pipe 6 in the return assembly. Simultaneously, controller 7 activates the second water pump 601 to achieve continuous water circulation and ensure stable cooling efficiency. During this process, the first spring 405 and the second spring 409 provide reset force to the first sliding plate 403 and the second sliding plate 406 respectively, ensuring that the switch assembly automatically returns to its initial state after the electric push rod 4 stops working, facilitating the next operation.

[0027] The structure is rationally designed with close cooperation between its components, enabling automatic circulation and temperature control of cooling water. This improves cooling efficiency and water resource utilization while reducing manual intervention and enhancing the continuity and stability of equipment operation. It is suitable for the high-efficiency cooling requirements in the continuous casting and rolling process of copper rods.
