[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] Example
[0025] like Figure 1-5As shown in the figure, an embodiment of this utility model proposes a cooling device for glass fibers after drawing. This design enables efficient cooling of the glass fibers, reduces driving energy, and achieves the recycling of cooling water. It includes a base 1, a driving component 2, and a cooling and drying component 3. The driving component 2 is fixedly connected to the base 1, and the driving component 2 is fixedly connected to the cooling and drying component 3. The cooling and drying component 3 is rotatably connected to the base 1 and is composed of a cooling chamber 4 and a drying chamber 5. The device is electrically connected to an external control device via a conductive line, and its operation is controlled by the external control device. The height of the cooling and drying component 3 is adjusted by the lifting legs 103. The height of the wire drawing machine is matched to allow the wire to enter the cooling and drying unit 3 for cooling. One end of the cooling chamber 4 has a slot 402, and one end of the drying chamber 5 also has a through hole with the same slot 402, allowing the glass wire to enter. Cooling water is injected into the cavity of the cooling chamber 4 through the slot 402, guiding the glass wire through the cooling and drying unit 3. Driven by the drive unit 2, the cooling and drying unit 3 rotates on the base 1. The motor 204 drives the transmission wheel 203 to rotate, and the transmission wheel 203, driven by the transmission belt 202, causes the transmission ring 201 to rotate. Since the transmission ring 201 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cooling and drying unit 3, the cooling and drying unit 3 can rotate between the two rotating seats 102 for cooling and drying. The rotation direction of component 3 is towards the inclined direction of the inclined groove 401. Therefore, when the glass fiber passes through the interior of the cooling chamber 4, since the cooling chamber 4 is filled with cooling water, the inclined groove 401 can carry the cooling water to the top of the cooling chamber 4 and then drop it down, forming a water curtain inside the cooling chamber 4, thereby rinsing and cooling the glass fiber. The falling cooling water falls back into the cavity of the cooling chamber 4, realizing the recycling of cooling water and reducing the consumption of cooling water. Water droplets will be attached to the cooled glass fiber. When the cooling and drying component 3 rotates, the turbine fan 504 will draw in the air from one end of the drying chamber 5 and blow it towards one end of the cooling chamber 4, so that when the glass fiber passes through the first conical cavity 501 and the second conical cavity 502, the glass fiber can be cooled. The water droplets on the surface are blown off, achieving the drying effect. The design of the first conical cavity 501 prevents the cooling water inside the cooling chamber 4 from entering the rotating chamber 503. The design of the second conical cavity 502 allows the airflow generated by the turbine fan 504 to be more concentrated and blown onto the glass filaments, improving the drying effect. After passing through the center column 505, the glass filaments are led out through the through hole at one end of the drying chamber 5, thus realizing integrated cooling and drying processing. Driven by the drive component 2, the energy required for independent cooling and drying can be reduced, and the cooling water used for cooling can be promptly returned for reuse, improving the usage effect. The contents not described in detail in this description belong to the prior art known to those skilled in the art.
[0026] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the base 1 consists of a base plate 101, a rotating seat 102, and lifting legs 103. The rotating seat 102 is fixedly connected to both ends of the base plate 101, and the lifting legs 103 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom of the base plate 101. The design of the base 1 meets the usage requirements, ensures the connection and use of the device, and enables the device to be adjusted and adapted to wire drawing machines of different heights, thereby improving its applicability.
[0027] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the drive component 2 consists of a transmission ring 201, a transmission belt 202, a transmission wheel 203, and a motor 204. The transmission ring 201 is fixedly connected to the outer wall at the junction of the cooling chamber 4 and the drying chamber 5. The transmission ring 201 is connected to the transmission belt 202. The transmission belt 202 is connected to the transmission wheel 203. The transmission wheel 203 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 204. The motor 204 is fixedly connected to the base plate 101. The drive component 2 enables the cooling and drying component 3 to rotate, achieving the cooling and drying effect and reducing the consumption of drive energy.
[0028] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the inner wall of the cooling chamber 4 is provided with an inclined groove 401, and one end of the cooling chamber 4 is provided with a slot 402. The cooling chamber 4 at one end of the slot 402 is rotatably connected to one of the rotating seats 102. A drain valve 403 is fixedly connected to the cooling chamber 4. Cooling water is injected into the cavity of the cooling chamber 4. When the cooling chamber 4 rotates, the cooling water inside the cooling chamber 4 can be driven by the inclined groove 401 to form a water curtain inside the cooling chamber 4, so as to realize the water cooling of the glass fiber.
[0029] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the drying chamber 5 is connected to the cooling chamber 4. One end of the drying chamber 5 is rotatably connected to another rotating seat 102. The drying chamber 5 is provided with a first conical cavity 501 and a second conical cavity 502. The tips of the first conical cavity 501 and the second conical cavity 502 are arranged facing each other. A rotating chamber 503 is provided in the drying chamber 5 on one side of the second conical cavity 502. A turbine fan 504 is fixedly connected in the rotating chamber 503.
