Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of cooling equipment technology, specifically a cooling device for a dual-station inverted type. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous advancement of cooling technology, more and more companies are using liquid cooling tanks to rapidly cool processed workpieces. Liquid cooling tanks can be divided into single-station and double-station types based on their structural design. To improve cooling efficiency and reduce downtime, a double-station cooling tank device for automotive exhaust pipe cutting has been developed, with publication number CN110220358B and publication date November 27, 2020. This device divides the cooling tank into two cooling chambers and uses a rotating shaft to drive a submersible plate to achieve workpiece cooling and unloading. However, this design mainly relies on the liquid cooling tank, and its adaptability to applications requiring inverted cooling or cooling at special angles is relatively limited. Furthermore, the insufficient optimization of its coolant circulation system may lead to low heat exchange efficiency, making it difficult to meet high-frequency, high-intensity cooling demands. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of current cooling devices in adaptability to inverted or special angle cooling scenarios, as well as the low heat exchange efficiency of the coolant circulation system, by providing a cooling device for dual-station inverted applications. By employing a dual-station independent cooling chamber design, combined with an optimized coolant circulation path and auxiliary heat dissipation structure, the cooling efficiency and adaptability are improved, while simultaneously meeting the demands of high-frequency, high-intensity cooling.

[0004] A dual-station inverted cooling device includes a support frame. Vertical slide rails are provided on the left and right sides of the support frame. A lifting module capable of moving up and down along each vertical slide rail is mounted on each side. A clamping mechanism is fixed to each lifting module, with its working end facing downwards. Two independent cooling chambers are located in the middle of the support frame, each directly below the clamping mechanism on the same side. Each cooling chamber contains a rotatable cooling plate. Multiple through holes are evenly distributed on the surface of the cooling plate. A drive motor is connected to the bottom of the cooling plate via a connecting rod and is fixed to the bottom plate of the cooling chamber. A coolant circulation pipe is provided on the outside of each cooling chamber and is connected to an external cooling unit. A nozzle is provided on the top of each cooling chamber and is connected to the coolant circulation pipe via a pipe.

[0005] This novel cooling device employs a dual-station independent cooling chamber design. The cooling plate within each chamber drives the workpiece to rotate, ensuring the coolant evenly covers the workpiece surface and thus improving cooling efficiency. Simultaneously, the coolant circulation pipeline works in conjunction with an external cooling unit to form a highly efficient coolant return and cooling mechanism, solving the problem of insufficient heat exchange efficiency in existing technologies. Furthermore, the clamping mechanism uses a lifting module to automatically pick up and place the workpiece, eliminating manual intervention and improving operational efficiency.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the bottom of the support frame is provided with a liquid collection tank. The bottom of the liquid collection tank is an inclined surface, and a drain outlet is provided at the lowest point of the inclined surface. The drain outlet is connected to an external cooling unit through a pipe. By setting up the liquid collection tank, the coolant flowing out of the cooling chamber will collect in the liquid collection tank and enter the external cooling unit through the drain outlet, realizing the recycling of coolant.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, the surface of the cooling plate is provided with multiple raised structures, which are distributed in a spiral pattern. By providing spiral raised structures on the surface of the cooling plate, the coolant can be guided to flow along a spiral path when the cooling plate rotates, increasing the contact time between the coolant and the workpiece, thereby further improving the cooling effect.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the clamping mechanism includes a fixed base and a movable jaw. The fixed base is fixed to the lifting module by bolts, and the movable jaw is hinged to the fixed base by a pin. A cylinder is connected to the tail end of the movable jaw, and the piston rod of the cylinder extends or retracts, causing the movable jaw to open or close. By controlling the opening and closing action of the movable jaw with the cylinder, the clamping and release of the workpiece can be completed quickly, ensuring the stability of the workpiece during the cooling process.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, the outer wall of the coolant circulation pipe is wrapped with a heat insulation layer made of multiple layers of asbestos material. By setting a heat insulation layer on the outer wall of the coolant circulation pipe, heat loss of the coolant due to the influence of the external ambient temperature during transportation is reduced, ensuring the coolant remains at a low temperature.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the number of nozzles is multiple, which, combined with the rotational movement of the cooling plate, can ensure that the coolant evenly covers the surface of the workpiece.

[0011] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solutions, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The cooling device of this utility model, through its dual-station independent cooling chamber design, combined with the optimized configuration of the cooling plate's rotational motion and the coolant circulation system, significantly improves cooling efficiency and adaptability. Simultaneously, by setting up a collection tank and a heat insulation layer, it achieves efficient coolant recovery and heat preservation, reducing resource waste. Furthermore, the automated design of the clamping mechanism reduces the need for manual intervention, improving operational safety and convenience. The comprehensive application of these technical means enables this utility model to meet the needs of inverted or special angle cooling scenarios and is suitable for high-frequency, high-intensity cooling tasks.

[0022] Reference Figures 1 to 6 Embodiment 1 of the present invention provides a cooling device for a dual-station inverted type:

[0023] This utility model relates to a cooling device for a dual-station inverted type, the overall structure of which is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the device includes a support frame 1, a vertical slide rail 2, a lifting module 3, a clamping mechanism 4, a cooling chamber 5, a cooling plate 6, a drive motor 7, a coolant circulation pipe 8, a nozzle 9, a collection tank 10, a drain port 11, a fixed base 12, a movable gripper 13, a cylinder 14, and an external cooling unit 15. The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] The support frame 1 is the main structure of the entire device, welded from high-strength steel, possessing sufficient rigidity and stability to support all components. Vertical slide rails 2 are installed on the left and right sides of the support frame 1, respectively. The vertical slide rails 2 are fixedly connected to the support frame 1 with bolts, ensuring a smooth, burr-free surface for smooth movement of the lifting module 3. The lifting module 3 engages with the vertical slide rails 2 via a slider. The lifting module 3 is driven by a built-in drive motor, which converts rotational motion into linear motion via a rack and pinion structure, thus enabling the lifting module 3 to move up and down along the vertical slide rails 2. Example 2

[0025] Based on Example 1, Example 2 refines the lifting module and clamping mechanism:

[0026] Each lifting module 3 is fixed with a clamping mechanism 4, and the clamping mechanism 4 is fixed in the following way: Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the fixed base 12 is fixedly connected to the lifting module 3 by bolts. The lower end of the fixed base 12 is provided with a hinge hole. The movable gripper 13 is hinged to the fixed base 12 by a pin. The tail end of the movable gripper 13 is connected to the piston rod of the cylinder 14 by a connecting rod. The cylinder 14 is fixed to one side of the fixed base 12 by bolts. When the piston rod of the cylinder 14 extends or retracts, it drives the movable gripper 13 to rotate around the pin, thereby realizing the action of clamping or releasing the workpiece. The working end of the clamping mechanism 4 faces downward, which facilitates clamping the workpiece and sending it into the cooling chamber 5 for cooling treatment. Example 3

[0027] Based on Example 1, Example 3 refines the cooling chamber:

[0028] Two independent cooling chambers 5 are located in the middle of the support frame 1. The cooling chambers 5 are fixedly connected to the support frame 1 by bolts, and the two cooling chambers 5 are located directly below the left and right clamping mechanisms 4, respectively. A cooling plate 6 is installed inside each cooling chamber 5. The center of the cooling plate 6 is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 7 via a connecting rod. The drive motor 7 is fixed to the bottom plate of the cooling chamber 5 by bolts. The output shaft of the drive motor 7 passes through the bottom plate of the cooling chamber 5 and forms a sealed connection with the cooling chamber 5 through a sealed bearing. The surface of the cooling plate has a spirally distributed raised structure and evenly distributed through holes. When the drive motor 7 starts, the cooling plate 6 rotates with the output shaft. After the workpiece is placed on the cooling plate 6, the rotation of the cooling plate 6 ensures that the surface of the workpiece is in full contact with the coolant.

[0029] The top of the cooling chamber 5 is equipped with four nozzles 9, which are evenly distributed around the top of the cooling chamber 5. The nozzles 9 are connected to the external cooling unit 15 through the coolant circulation pipe 8. One end of the coolant circulation pipe 8 is connected to the cooling chamber 5, and the other end is connected to the external cooling unit 15. The outer wall of the coolant circulation pipe 8 is wrapped with a heat insulation layer made of multiple layers of asbestos material. The heat insulation layer is fixed to the outer wall of the pipe with adhesive to reduce the heat loss of the coolant during transportation.

[0030] The bottom of the cooling chamber 5 is provided with a drain port, which is connected to the collection tank 10 through a pipe. The collection tank 10 is as follows: Figure 6As shown, its bottom is an inclined surface with an inclination angle of 5 degrees, and a drain port 11 is opened at the lowest point. The drain port 11 is connected to the external cooling unit 15 through a pipe. After the coolant flows out of the cooling chamber 5, it collects in the collection tank 10. Due to the inclined design of the bottom of the collection tank 10, the coolant will naturally flow to the drain port 11 and then flow back to the external cooling unit 15 through the pipe for cooling treatment before being recycled.

[0031] Working Principle: First, the workpiece to be cooled is placed between the movable jaws 13 of the clamping mechanism 4. After the cylinder 14 is started, its piston rod extends, driving the movable jaws 13 to rotate around the pin shaft via the connecting rod, thereby clamping the workpiece. At this time, the fixed seat 12 and the lifting module 3 are connected by bolts to form an integral structure, ensuring that the clamping mechanism 4 can stably support the workpiece. Subsequently, the drive motor built into the lifting module 3 starts, converting the rotational motion into linear motion through a gear and rack structure, driving the lifting module 3 to move smoothly down along the vertical slide rail 2. The surface of the vertical slide rail 2 is precision machined, and in conjunction with the ball bearings inside the slider, friction is effectively reduced, ensuring the stability of the lifting process. When the workpiece is sent into the cooling chamber 5, the lifting module 3 stops moving, completing the initial positioning of the workpiece.

[0032] Next, the drive motor 7 starts, and its output shaft drives the cooling plate 6 to rotate via a connecting rod. Multiple through-holes and spiral protrusions on the surface of the cooling plate 6 begin to function. Coolant flows through the through-holes and contacts the workpiece surface, while the spiral protrusions guide the coolant along a specific path, extending the contact time between the coolant and the workpiece. Simultaneously, the external cooling unit 15 starts, and coolant is delivered to the nozzles 9 through the coolant circulation pipe 8. There are four nozzles 9, evenly distributed around the top of the cooling chamber 5, providing optimal coverage of the workpiece surface and further enhancing the cooling effect. The insulation layer covering the outer wall of the coolant circulation pipe 8 is made of multiple layers of asbestos material and fixed with adhesive, effectively reducing heat loss during coolant transport and ensuring the coolant remains at a low temperature.

[0033] During the cooling process, the rotation of the cooling plate 6 and the spraying of the nozzle 9 work together to ensure that the coolant evenly covers the surface of the workpiece. The rotation speed of the cooling plate 6 is controlled by the drive motor 7 and can be adjusted according to the workpiece material and cooling requirements to optimize cooling efficiency. After completing heat exchange, the coolant flows into the collection tank 10 through the drain port at the bottom of the cooling chamber 5. The bottom of the collection tank 10 is designed as an inclined surface with an inclination angle of 5 degrees, and a drain port 11 is provided at the lowest point. Due to gravity, the coolant flows naturally to the drain port 11 and enters the coolant circulation pipe 8 through the pipe, and finally flows back to the external cooling unit 15 for cooling and reuse. This design not only achieves efficient coolant recovery but also avoids the problem of coolant residue in the collection tank 10.

[0034] After cooling is complete, the drive motor of the lifting module 3 reverses direction, driving the lifting module 3 to move upward along the vertical slide rail 2, removing the workpiece from the cooling chamber 5. At this time, the piston rod of the cylinder 14 retracts, causing the movable gripper 13 to open, releasing the workpiece and sending it to the designated position. The entire cooling process is efficiently achieved through the dual-station independent cooling chamber design. The two cooling chambers 5 are located directly below the left and right clamping mechanisms 4, respectively, supporting simultaneous or alternating cooling operations, significantly improving work efficiency.

[0035] As can be seen from the above steps, this utility model achieves efficient cooling through a dual-station independent cooling chamber design, the rotational movement of the cooling plate 6, the multi-angle spraying of the nozzle 9, and the optimized configuration of the coolant circulation system. The through-holes and spiral protrusions on the surface of the cooling plate 6 increase the contact area and time between the coolant and the workpiece; the adjustable nozzle of the nozzle 9 ensures uniform coverage of the coolant; and the inclined bottom design of the collection tank 10 enables rapid recovery and reuse of the coolant. The comprehensive application of these technologies enables this device to exhibit excellent adaptability and efficiency in inverted or special angle cooling scenarios, meeting the needs of high-frequency, high-intensity cooling tasks.
