Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bearing cooling technology, and more specifically, to a cooling device for bearing production and processing. Background Technology
[0002] As we all know, bearings are relatively precise mechanical parts. The higher the precision of the bearing, the better its stability and lifespan. Bearings are used in most types of machinery, especially in the automotive industry where demand is very high. Bearings are processed by machine tools, which generate a lot of heat during the processing. Some bearings also require heat treatment during production. The purpose of this heat treatment is to change the internal structure of the bearing by heating, heat preservation, and cooling to obtain better performance and meet different usage requirements. After each production process, the bearing must be cooled before the next process can begin.
[0003] In conventional cooling systems, clean water from the storage tank is transported to the interior of the tank via a water curtain. The gears inside the storage tank are then cooled by the action of the fan blades. However, because the clean water cannot be completely vaporized when sprayed into the tank, some water accumulates inside, causing water buildup. Additionally, some water adheres to the outer wall of the bearings placed inside the storage tank, requiring secondary drying before further processing, thus reducing work efficiency.
[0004] To address the above issues, application number 202420655009.5, entitled "A Cooling Device for Bearing Production and Processing," describes a device comprising a cooling chamber, a support plate, and a pressure relief pipe. The support plate is fixedly connected to the top of the cooling chamber, and the pressure relief pipe is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cooling chamber. A gas delivery assembly is provided on the outer wall of the support plate. A placement assembly, consisting of a placement unit and a limiting unit, is located inside the cooling chamber. This cooling device for bearing production and processing, by setting up a cooling box and a fan, and controlling the operation of the cooling box and the fan, allows the fan to extract low-temperature air from inside the cooling box through a delivery pipe and a three-way valve, and deliver it to the interior of the cooling chamber, thereby cooling the bearing. While ensuring the cooling effect, it eliminates the need for subsequent bearing drying, improving work efficiency.
[0005] Although the device has many beneficial effects, it still has the following problems: While the device can ensure the cooling effect and eliminate the need for subsequent drying of the bearings, thus improving work efficiency, in actual use, multiple bearings to be cooled need to be placed inside the discharge hopper and then slid into the cooling tank for collective cooling. However, when a large number of bearings enter the cooling tank for cooling, they often accumulate, and the cooling device takes a lot of time to cool the bearings. This will undoubtedly cause great trouble in actual use.
[0006] Moreover, from the perspective of cooling effect, this cooling method results in the accumulation of bearings, which prevents the outer walls of multiple bearings from making full contact with the cold source. Some bearings are encased inside, making it difficult for the cold source to reach them, causing uneven cooling, which seriously affects the cooling quality and reduces the overall quality of the bearing products. In addition, after cooling, personnel need to manually pull out, collect, and place the bearings to be cooled, which undoubtedly brings great labor intensity to the user and reduces its work efficiency.
[0007] In view of this, we propose a cooling device for bearing manufacturing and processing. Utility Model Content
[0008] 1. Technical problems to be solved
[0009] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cooling device for bearing manufacturing and processing, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0010] 2. Technical Solution
[0011] A cooling device for bearing manufacturing includes a first support base and a second support base. A controller is installed on the outer wall of the first support base. An inclined barrel is installed on the top of the first and second support bases. A feed hopper is installed on the outer wall of the inclined barrel. A drive motor is installed on the outer wall of the feed hopper. A spiral conveyor rod is connected to the output end of the drive motor. An air inlet hood and a mounting box are installed on the top of the inclined barrel. Cooling vortex tube one and cooling vortex tube two are respectively connected to the outer walls of the air inlet hood and the mounting box. A conveying cylinder is installed inside the inclined barrel.
[0012] Preferably, the spiral feed rod has an exhaust hole on its outer circumference and extends into the feed cylinder.
[0013] Preferably, the air intake hood is inwardly connected to the inclined barrel, and an air supply pipe is connected to one side of the outer wall of the mounting box.
[0014] Preferably, the gas supply pipe communicates with the interior of the mounting box, and the end of the gas supply pipe is rotatably connected to the end of the spiral feed rod and communicates with the interior of the spiral feed rod.
[0015] Preferably, the outer circumferential wall of the conveying cylinder has multiple holes, and a connecting ring one and a connecting ring two are fixedly sleeved on the outer circumferential wall of the conveying cylinder.
[0016] Preferably, the first connecting ring and the second connecting ring are fixedly connected to the inner walls of both ends of the inclined barrel, and the second connecting ring has an exhaust opening at its bottom.
[0017] 3. Beneficial effects
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: In actual use, it can be used in conjunction with an external conveying device to slowly and sequentially convey the heat-treated bearings into the feed hopper. At this time, the drive motor can be started to drive the screw conveyor rod to rotate. During the rotation, multiple bearings can slowly enter the feed cylinder. Then, the multiple external cooling vortex tubes 1 and 2, together with the injection of compressed air generated by the external air compressor, generate cold air to cool the bearings conveyed sequentially, reducing the situation where a large amount of accumulation affects the bearing cooling efficiency.
[0019] Furthermore, when cooling the bearings, the cold source from multiple cooling vortex tubes can enter the inclined barrel through the air inlet hood and be wrapped around the outside of the conveying cylinder. The cold source conveyed by the cooling vortex tubes can enter the screw conveyor and then be discharged from the inside of the conveying cylinder through multiple exhaust holes. This multi-position cooling method ensures that the outer wall of the bearing can fully contact the cold source, further improving the uniformity and comprehensiveness of the bearing cooling process and effectively improving its cooling efficiency. During the continuous rotation of the screw conveyor, multiple bearings can be discharged from the end of the conveying cylinder in sequence, and then transported and collected by the conveying device or processed in the next process. The overall use is more convenient and the overall practicality is better. Attached Figure Description

[0027] Please refer to the figure. This utility model provides a technical solution:
[0028] A cooling device for bearing manufacturing and processing includes a support base 100 and a support base 220. A controller 110 is provided on the outer wall of the support base 100. An inclined bucket 200 is provided on the top of the support base 100 and the support base 220. A feed hopper 210 is provided on the outer wall of the inclined bucket 200.
[0029] In some embodiments, the bearings can be transported by an external conveying device after heat treatment to be cooled. The conveying device can be a chain conveyor, which is a conventional technology and does not need to be described in detail.
[0030] A drive motor 220 is installed on the outer wall of the feed hopper 210. The output end of the drive motor 220 is connected to a spiral conveyor rod 230. An air inlet hood 240 and a mounting box 260 are installed on the top of the tilting bucket 200. Cooling vortex tube 1 250 and cooling vortex tube 261 are respectively connected to the outer walls of the air inlet hood 240 and the mounting box 260. A conveyor cylinder 300 is installed inside the tilting bucket 200.
[0031] In some embodiments, the drive motor 220 mainly consists of two parts: a stator and a rotor. The stator includes an iron core, windings, etc. The iron core provides support for the windings, and the windings generate a magnetic field after being energized. The rotor consists of an iron core and conductor bars. Under the action of the rotating magnetic field generated by the stator, the conductor bars generate an induced current by cutting the magnetic lines of force. This current causes the rotor to be subjected to the Ampere force, thereby driving the rotor to rotate and efficiently converting electrical energy into mechanical energy to drive the operation of various equipment. All of the above belong to the prior art, and common models on the market can be selected.
[0032] In some embodiments, cooling vortex tube 250 and cooling vortex tube 261 are devices that generate vortices in high-speed airflow and separate cold and hot airflows to cool a specific object. They consist of a nozzle, a vortex chamber, a separation orifice plate, cold and hot end tubes, and a control valve. During operation, high-pressure compressed air enters the nozzle, expands, and accelerates to the speed of sound, then enters the vortex chamber tangentially, forming a high-speed rotating vortex. Inside the vortex tube, due to centrifugal force and friction between the airflow layers, the temperature of the outer layer airflow increases while the temperature of the inner layer airflow decreases. The cold airflow is then drawn out from the cold end tube for cooling, while the hot airflow is discharged from the hot end tube via the control valve. The flow rate and temperature of the cold and hot airflows can be adjusted by regulating the control valve. The injected airflow is generated by an external air compressor, which is prior art.
[0033] Furthermore, the spiral conveyor rod 230 has an exhaust hole 231 on its outer circumference and extends into the conveying cylinder 300 to facilitate the conveying of bearings.
[0034] Furthermore, the air intake hood 240 is internally connected to the tilting barrel 200, and an air supply pipe 262 is connected to one side of the outer wall of the mounting box 260 to facilitate the delivery of cold air.
[0035] Furthermore, the air supply pipe 262 is connected to the interior of the mounting box 260. The end of the air supply pipe 262 is rotatably connected to the end of the screw conveyor 230 and is connected to the interior of the screw conveyor 230, which facilitates the influence of the screw conveyor 230. When the screw conveyor 230 rotates, the end of the air supply pipe 262 does not restrict the screw conveyor 230. The air supply pipe 262 is a stainless steel metal pipe.
[0036] It is worth noting that the outer circumference of the conveying cylinder 300 has multiple holes, and the outer circumference of the conveying cylinder 300 is fixedly fitted with connecting ring 310 and connecting ring 320, which facilitates the support of the conveying cylinder 300.
[0037] In addition, connecting ring 1 310 and connecting ring 2 320 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of both ends of the inclined barrel 200, and the bottom of connecting ring 2 320 is provided with an exhaust opening, which facilitates the exhaust of air after internal heat exchange.
[0038] In some embodiments, the device can be powered by an external conventional power source, and the device can be powered by an external power source.
[0039] In addition, the circuits, electronic components and modules involved in this utility model are all existing technologies, which can be fully implemented by those skilled in the art, and need not be elaborated upon. The content protected by this utility model does not involve any improvement to the internal structure and method.
[0040] Working Principle: In actual use, the heat-treated bearings can be slowly and sequentially conveyed into the feed hopper 210 using an external conveying device. At this time, the drive motor 220 can be started, driving the screw conveyor 230 to rotate. During rotation, multiple bearings can slowly enter the feed cylinder 300. The external cooling vortex tubes 250 and 261, combined with the injection of compressed air from an external air compressor, generate cold air to cool the sequentially conveyed bearings, reducing the accumulation of large amounts of cold air that could affect cooling efficiency. Furthermore, during the actual cooling of the bearings, the cold source of the multiple cooling vortex tubes 250 can be obtained through the air intake... The cover 240 enters the tilting bucket 200 and wraps around the outside of the conveying cylinder 300. The cold source conveyed by the cooling vortex tube 261 can enter the screw conveyor 230 and then be discharged from the inside of the conveying cylinder 300 through multiple exhaust holes 231. This multi-position cooling method ensures that the outer wall of the bearing can fully contact the cold source, further improving the uniformity and comprehensiveness of the bearing in the cooling process and effectively improving its cooling efficiency. During the continuous rotation of the screw conveyor 230, multiple bearings can be discharged from the end of the conveying cylinder 300 in sequence, and then transported and collected by the conveying device or processed in the next process. The overall use is more convenient and the overall practicality is better.
