[0002] During the production of rubber inner tubes, the molded inner tubes reach high temperatures and require timely cooling to ensure their quality and performance. Traditional cooling methods use cooling water tanks, where the inner tubes are continuously moved through the water to achieve cooling. However, the rollers supporting the inner tubes in these tanks are typically horizontal, making it easy for the inner tubes to carry water out of the tank, resulting in water waste and a damp production environment. Summary of the Invention

[0003] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0004] The technical problem this utility model aims to solve is that the traditional cooling method uses a cooling water tank, which allows the inner tube to move continuously in the water to achieve cooling. However, the rollers on the traditional cooling water tank that support the inner tube are usually set horizontally, which makes it easy for the inner tube to carry water out of the tank, resulting in water waste and dampness in the production area.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", and "outer" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0025] Please see Figures 1-2 The diagram shows a cooling device for inner tube production, which includes a water tank 1. The water tank 1 serves as the basic supporting component of the entire cooling device and is used to receive cooling water.

[0026] The water tank 1 is equipped with a partition 2, which serves to separate the water flow and create different functional areas within the water tank 1. The partition 2 and one side of the water tank 1 form a backflow water receiving tank 3, which is used to collect the water flowing back from the inner tube and prevent water from flowing out of the water tank from the feed position.

[0027] This utility model also includes a non-powered roller 4, a first dewatering device 5, a second dewatering device 6, and a spraying device 7.

[0028] The water tank 1 has an inlet 8 and an outlet 9 at its two ends. The inlet 8 is the entrance for the inner tube to enter the cooling device, and the outlet 9 is the exit for the inner tube to leave the device after cooling. The horizontal position of the inlet 8 is lower than that of the outlet 9. By utilizing the weight of the inner tube itself and the push of the water flow in the water tank 1, the water on the inner tube can flow better and leave the inner tube without power, and is not easily carried out of the water tank 1 by the inner tube.

[0029] Multiple non-powered rollers 4 are provided, and both ends are connected to the two sides of the water tank 1 through bearings. The non-powered rollers 4 provide support and guidance for the inner tube, reducing the friction between the inner tube and the bottom of the water tank 1. The multiple non-powered rollers 4 are arranged in an inclined manner, with the non-powered rollers 4 near the discharge port 9 at the lowest horizontal position and the non-powered rollers 4 near the feed port 8 at the highest horizontal position. This arrangement is adapted to the inclination of the water tank 1, ensuring that the inner tube moves smoothly in an inclined manner, which is conducive to the cooling water leaving the tire body and reducing the phenomenon of being carried out.

[0030] The first water removal device 5 is located above the backflow water receiving tank 3. Its main function is to blow away the water flowing back onto the inner tube and prevent the backflow water from flowing out from the feed inlet 8. The first water removal device 5 includes two hollow first air outlet shells 501. Each of the two first air outlet shells 501 has a first air outlet 502 on the side near the discharge port 9. Both first air outlet shells 501 are connected to an external blower through an air pipe. When the blower is started, the airflow blows out from the first air outlet 502, blowing the water flowing back onto the inner tube toward the backflow water receiving tank 3.

[0031] The second dewatering device 6 is located near the discharge port 9 and is used to blow water on the inner tube into the water tank 1 to prevent it from being carried out of the water tank 1. The second dewatering device 6 includes two hollow second air outlet shells 601, and each of the two second air outlet shells 601 has a second air outlet 602 on the side near the discharge port 9. Both second air outlet shells 601 are connected to an external blower through air pipes. The airflow blown out by the second dewatering device 6 blows the water remaining on the surface of the inner tube into the water tank 1, ensuring that the inner tube is relatively dry when it leaves the cooling device.

[0032] A spraying device 7 is positioned between the first dewatering device 5 and the second dewatering device 6. Multiple spraying devices 7 are arranged at an angle, with the one closest to the outlet 9 at its lowest horizontal position and the one closest to the inlet 8 at its highest horizontal position. The spraying device 7 is used to cool the inner tube by spraying water. Each spraying device 7 includes two symmetrically arranged spraying components 71, which spray the upper and lower surfaces of the inner tube for cooling. Each spraying component 71 includes a crossbar 71a connected to the side of the water tank 1, and a spray head 71b is provided on the crossbar 71a. The cold water sprayed from the spray head 71b is evenly distributed on the surface of the inner tube, quickly removing heat. Furthermore, multiple spray heads 71b are evenly distributed on the crossbar 71a to ensure wide and uniform spray coverage.

[0033] The partition 2 is provided with an overflow port 10. When the water level in the water tank 1 is too high, the excess water can overflow into the water tank 1 through the overflow port 10.

[0034] Working principle:

[0035] After the high-temperature inner tube enters the water tank 1 through the feed inlet 8, it is placed on the unpowered roller 4. With the help of an external pulling device, the inner tube slowly rolls along the inclined unpowered roller 4 towards the discharge outlet 9, achieving continuous conveying without an additional power source. The spraying device 7, located between the first dewatering device 5 and the second dewatering device 6, includes two symmetrically arranged spraying components 71. Each spraying component 71 has a crossbar 71a connected to the side of the water tank 1, with multiple spray heads 71b evenly arranged on the crossbar 71a. When the inner tube enters the spraying area, a cooling water pump delivers cooling water to the spray heads 71b, which spray water mist inwards, comprehensively covering the upper and lower surfaces of the inner tube. Due to the high specific heat capacity of water, it can quickly absorb the heat from the inner tube, achieving efficient cooling. Furthermore, the multiple spraying devices 7 are arranged at an angle, adapted to the movement path of the inner tube, ensuring that all parts of the inner tube receive uniform and continuous spray cooling during movement, avoiding localized overheating or insufficient cooling, and effectively improving the consistency of the cooling effect.

[0036] The non-powered roller shaft 4 is provided in multiple ways and is connected to the two sides of the water tank 1 at both ends through bearings. The non-powered roller shaft 4 plays a supporting and guiding role for the inner tube, reducing the friction between the inner tube and the bottom surface of the water tank 1. The multiple non-powered roller shafts 4 are arranged in an inclined manner. This arrangement is adapted to the inclination of the water tank 1 to ensure that the inner tube is in an inclined position during smooth movement, which is conducive to the cooling water leaving the tire body and reducing the phenomenon of being carried out.

[0037] During the spray cooling process, some water in the inner tube will flow backwards along the inner tube surface due to gravity, surface tension, and water inertia. At this time, the first water removal device 5 plays a crucial role. It consists of two hollow internal air outlet shells 501, each with a first air outlet 502 near the discharge port 9, and connected to an external blower via an air pipe. When the blower is activated, the airflow rushes into the first air outlet shells 501 at high speed and is blown out from the first air outlets 502, creating a strong airflow that impacts the backward-flowing area on the inner tube, blowing the backward-flowing water off. The specially designed backward-flowing water receiving tank 3, positioned to match the first water removal device 5, collects the blown-off water.

[0038] As the inner tube continues to roll towards the discharge port 9, the second dewatering device 6 is activated near discharge. Its structure is similar to the first dewatering device 6, containing two hollow internal air outlet shells 601. A second air outlet 602 is located near the discharge port 9 and is also connected to the air pipe of an external blower. The blower provides airflow into the second air outlet shells 601 and then blows it out from the second air outlet 602, strongly sweeping the surface of the inner tube. The purpose at this time is to blow away any residual cooling water from the spraying and previous processes back into the water tank 1, ensuring that the inner tube is delivered from the discharge port 9 in a relatively dry state.

[0039] The embodiments are detailed, and the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims are intended to be included within the present invention.

This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
