Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of cable processing equipment, and more specifically, it relates to a cooling device for cable material production. Background Technology

[0002] The plastics used for cable insulation and sheathing are commonly known as cable materials, which include various types such as rubber, plastic, and nylon. In the production process of cable materials, the plasticized and extruded material is granulated by a thermal cutting machine to form cable material particles. At this time, the temperature of the cable material is relatively high, so it is necessary to cool it down.

[0003] In existing technologies, cable material is usually added to a cooling device for cooling. The cable material rolls down on a guide plate to the bottom of the cooling device. Current cooling methods are mostly air cooling or installing circulating cooling components in the guide plate. However, because the temperature of the freshly processed cable material is high and it has a certain viscosity, it is easy to stick to the guide plate. In severe cases, the cable material will accumulate on the guide plate, requiring manual cleaning and reducing work efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model provides a cooling device for cable material production, which can prevent the cable material from accumulating on the guide plate during the cooling process, ensure continuous production, save manpower, and improve work efficiency.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a cooling device for cable material production is provided, including a cooling box, a cooling component, a guide plate, a flexible impact component, and an impact driving assembly. The cooling box has an inlet pipe at the top and an outlet pipe at the bottom. The cooling component is disposed on the outer wall of the cooling box and extends into the cooling box for cooling the cable material. The guide plate is disposed on the inner wall of the cooling box and extends obliquely downward for receiving and guiding the cable material. The flexible impact component is disposed on the inner wall of the cooling box and is located below the guide plate, extending obliquely upward to fit against the bottom wall of the guide plate. The impact driving assembly is disposed on the inner wall of the cooling box and connected to the extension end of the flexible impact component for driving the extension end of the flexible impact component downward and releasing the flexible impact component so that the flexible impact component strikes the guide plate.

[0006] In one possible implementation, the striking drive assembly includes a mounting box, a sliding shaft, a hinge rod, and a toggle element. The mounting box is disposed below the flexible striking element via a mounting base and has its opening facing upward. The sliding shaft is slidably connected to the mounting box in the vertical direction, and its main shaft extends horizontally. The hinge rod is disposed between the sliding shaft and the flexible striking element, and its two ends are hinged to the sliding shaft and the extended end of the flexible striking element, respectively. The toggle element is rotatably connected to the mounting box and located on one side of the sliding shaft for rotating and deflecting the sliding shaft downward.

[0007] In some embodiments, the actuating element includes a rotating shaft, a rotating platform, and a lever. The rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the mounting box and its main shaft is parallel to the main shaft of the sliding shaft. One end of the rotating shaft is connected to a rotation drive. The rotating platform is fixedly sleeved on the outer periphery of the rotating shaft. The lever is connected to the outer peripheral wall of the rotating platform and is used to push the sliding shaft downward.

[0008] In some embodiments, the sliding shaft is disposed through the two opposite side walls of the mounting box.

[0009] In one possible implementation, the guide plate is mounted on the inner wall of the cooling chamber via a flexible bracket.

[0010] In one possible implementation, the top surface of the guide plate is provided with a groove.

[0011] In one possible implementation, three guide plates are spaced apart along the vertical direction and are respectively disposed on two opposite inner side walls of the cooling box. The upper and lower guide plates are disposed on one inner side wall of the cooling box, and the middle guide plate is disposed on the other inner side wall of the cooling box.

[0012] In one possible implementation, the top of the cooling chamber is provided with an atomizing water spray device that extends downward into the cooling chamber for spraying water into the cooling chamber.

[0013] In some embodiments, the atomizing water spray component includes a water storage tank, a water outlet pipe, a branch pipe, and an atomizing nozzle. The water storage tank is located on the top of the cooling box and is used to store water. The water outlet pipe is connected to the side wall of the water storage tank and extends downward through the top wall of the water storage tank. A water pump is installed on the water outlet pipe. The branch pipe is connected to the lower end of the water outlet pipe and extends horizontally. The atomizing nozzle is connected to the bottom of the branch pipe and faces downward.

[0014] In one possible implementation, the cooling component is a cold air blower with an air outlet duct extending into the cooling box.

[0015] The cooling device for cable material production provided in this embodiment, compared with the prior art, first turns on the refrigeration component to cool the inside of the cooling box before adding the cable material. After a certain period of time, the cable material is added through the feed pipe. The obliquely extending guide plate forms a stepped drop path, which prolongs the residence time of the cable material in the cooling box and ensures sufficient heat exchange. The impact drive assembly drives the flexible impact component to repeatedly strike the guide plate, generating high-frequency vibration, which effectively shakes off the cable material adhering to the surface of the guide plate. The design of the flexible impact component conforming to the guide plate allows the impact force to be concentrated and transmitted to the plate rather than the cable material. This not only avoids cable material splashing but also avoids the accumulation of cable material on the guide plate during the cooling process, ensuring continuous production, saving manpower, and improving work efficiency.

Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a number" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0024] The plastics used for cable insulation and sheathing are commonly known as cable materials, which include various types such as rubber, plastic, and nylon. In the production process of cable materials, the plasticized and extruded material is granulated by a thermal cutting machine to form cable material particles. At this time, the temperature of the cable material is relatively high, so it is necessary to cool it down.

[0025] In existing technologies, cable material is usually added to a cooling device for cooling. The cable material rolls down on a guide plate to the bottom of the cooling device. Current cooling methods are mostly air cooling or installing circulating cooling components in the guide plate. However, because the temperature of the freshly processed cable material is high and it has a certain viscosity, it is easy to stick to the guide plate. In severe cases, the cable material will accumulate on the guide plate, requiring manual cleaning and reducing work efficiency.

[0026] Please see Figures 1 to 3 The present invention will now describe the cooling device for cable material production. A cooling device for cable material production includes a cooling chamber 10, a cooling component 20, a guide plate 30, a flexible impact component 40, and an impact drive assembly 50. The cooling chamber 10 has an inlet pipe 11 at the top and an outlet pipe 12 at the bottom. The cooling component 20 is disposed on the outer wall of the cooling chamber 10 and extends into the cooling chamber 10 to cool the cable material. The guide plate 30 is disposed on the inner wall of the cooling chamber 10 and extends obliquely downward to receive and guide the cable material. The flexible impact component 40 is disposed on the inner wall of the cooling chamber 10 and is located below the guide plate 30. The flexible impact component 40 extends obliquely upward to fit against the bottom wall of the guide plate 30. The impact drive assembly 50 is disposed on the inner wall of the cooling chamber 10 and is connected to the extension end of the flexible impact component 40 to drive the extension end of the flexible impact component 40 downward and release the flexible impact component 40 so that the flexible impact component 40 strikes the guide plate 30.

[0027] Furthermore, the flexible impact component 40 is elongated and has the ability to deform flexibly. The flexible impact component 40 is connected to the cooling box 10 by bolts.

[0028] This application provides a cooling device for cable material production. In actual use, before adding the cable material into the cooling box 10, the cooling component 20 is turned on to cool the inside of the cooling box 10. After a certain period of time, the cable material is added through the feed pipe 11. The obliquely extending guide plate 30 forms a stepped drop path, extending the residence time of the cable material in the cooling box 10 and ensuring sufficient heat exchange. The impact drive component 50 drives the flexible impact component 40 to repeatedly strike the guide plate 30, generating high-frequency vibration, which effectively shakes off the cable material adhering to the surface of the guide plate 30. The design of the flexible impact component 40 conforming to the guide plate 30 concentrates the impact force to the plate rather than the cable material, which not only avoids cable material splashing but also avoids the accumulation of cable material on the guide plate 30 during the cooling process, ensuring continuous production, saving manpower, and improving work efficiency.

[0029] Compared with the prior art, the cooling device for cable material production provided in this embodiment first turns on the cooling component 20 to cool the inside of the cooling box 10 before adding the cable material into the cooling box 10. After a certain period of time, the cable material is added from the feed pipe 11. The obliquely extending guide plate 30 forms a stepped drop path, which prolongs the residence time of the cable material in the cooling box 10 and ensures sufficient heat exchange. The impact drive component 50 drives the flexible impact component 40 to repeatedly strike the guide plate 30, generating high-frequency vibration, which effectively shakes off the cable material adhering to the surface of the guide plate 30. The design of the flexible impact component 40 to fit the guide plate 30 makes the impact force concentrated and transmitted to the plate rather than the cable material. This not only avoids the cable material from splashing, but also avoids the accumulation of cable material on the guide plate 30 during the cooling process, ensuring continuous production, saving manpower, and improving work efficiency.

[0030] In one possible implementation, the aforementioned impact driving component 50 employs, as follows: Figures 1 to 3 The structure shown is described in the following document. Figures 1 to 3 The striking drive assembly 50 includes a mounting box 51, a sliding shaft 52, a hinge rod 53, and a toggle member 54. The mounting box 51 is disposed below the flexible striking member 40 via a mounting base 511 and has its opening facing upward. The sliding shaft 52 is slidably connected to the mounting box 51 in the vertical direction, and the main shaft of the sliding shaft 52 extends in the horizontal direction. The hinge rod 53 is disposed between the sliding shaft 52 and the flexible striking member 40, and both ends of the hinge rod 53 are hinged to the sliding shaft 52 and the extended end of the flexible striking member 40, respectively. The toggle member 54 is rotatably connected to the mounting box 51 and is located on one side of the sliding shaft 52, and is used to rotate and deflect the sliding shaft 52.

[0031] Specifically, the mounting base 511 is bolted to the inner wall of the cooling box 10. The lever structure of the sliding shaft 52 and the hinge rod 53 converts the rotational motion of the actuating element 54 into the vertical displacement of the flexible striking element 40. The mechanical transmission efficiency is high and the failure rate is lower than that of pneumatic / hydraulic drives.

[0032] The rotating motion of the actuating element 54 moves the sliding shaft 52 downwards from top to bottom, causing the sliding shaft 52 to move downwards. This causes the extension end of the flexible striking element 40 to bend downwards via the hinge rod 53. After the sliding shaft 52 moves downwards to a certain point, the actuating element 54 separates from the sliding shaft 52. The flexible striking element 40 tends to return to its initial state, causing the extension end to swing upwards and strike the guide plate 30, causing the guide plate 30 to vibrate and effectively dislodging the cable material adhering to the surface of the guide plate 30.

[0033] In some embodiments, see Figures 1 to 3 The actuating component 54 includes a rotating shaft 541, a rotating platform 543, and a lever 544. The rotating shaft 541 is rotatably connected to the mounting box 51, and its main shaft is parallel to the main shaft of the sliding shaft 52. One end of the rotating shaft 541 is connected to a rotating drive component 542. The rotating platform 543 is fixedly sleeved on the outer periphery of the rotating shaft 541. The lever 544 is connected to the outer peripheral wall of the rotating platform 543 and is used to push the sliding shaft 52 downward.

[0034] Specifically, several paddles 544 are spaced apart around the circumference of the rotary table 543. The rotary drive 542 (servo motor) drives the rotary table 543 to rotate at a fixed speed through the rotating shaft 541. The paddles 544 make circular motions and repeatedly push the sliding shaft 52 downwards, so that the guide plate 30 forms a fixed vibration frequency, effectively shaking off the cable material adhering to the surface of the guide plate 30.

[0035] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The sliding shaft 52 is set through the two opposite side walls of the mounting box 51.

[0036] Specifically, the sliding shaft 52 passes through both sides of the mounting box 51, and the support points are distributed at both ends of the shaft to avoid jamming or wear caused by unilateral force.

[0037] Furthermore, the mounting box 51 has downwardly extending grooves on its two opposite side walls, and the two ends of the sliding shaft 52 are slidably connected in the two grooves respectively.

[0038] In one possible implementation, the aforementioned guide plate 30 adopts, as shown in... Figure 1 and Figure 2 The structure shown is described in the following document. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The guide plate 30 is installed on the inner wall of the cooling box 10 via a flexible bracket 60.

[0039] Specifically, the flexible support 60 amplifies the vibration amplitude of the impacting component, improving the unblocking effect; at the same time, it absorbs part of the vibration energy of the guide plate 30, preventing the vibration from being transmitted to the cooling box 10 and causing structural fatigue cracks.

[0040] Furthermore, the flexible support 60 is bolted to the cooling box 10, and the flexible support 60 is bolted to the guide plate 30.

[0041] In one possible implementation, the aforementioned guide plate 30 adopts, as shown in... Figure 1 and Figure 2 The structure shown is described in the following document. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The top surface of the guide plate 30 is provided with a groove 31.

[0042] Specifically, grooves 31 cover the top surface of the guide plate 30. The diameter of the grooves 31 is smaller than the particle size of the cable material. The guide plate 30 with multiple grooves 31 reduces the contact area between the cable material and the guide plate 30, greatly avoiding the situation where the cable material sticks to the guide plate 30.

[0043] In one possible implementation, the aforementioned guide plate 30 adopts, as shown in... Figure 1 The structure shown is described in the following document. Figure 1 Three guide plates 30 are spaced apart along the vertical direction and are respectively set on two opposite inner side walls of the cooling box 10. The upper and lower guide plates 30 are set on one inner side wall of the cooling box 10, and the middle guide plate 30 is set on the other inner side wall of the cooling box 10.

[0044] Specifically, the cable material falls freely between the upper and lower guide plates 30, making full contact with the cold air to achieve convective heat transfer; the staggered layout (upper left, middle right, lower left) forms an "S-shaped path", which extends the total cooling path and improves cooling uniformity.

[0045] In one possible implementation, the cooling box 10 described above adopts the following... Figure 1 The structure shown is described in the following document. Figure 1 The top of the cooling box 10 is provided with an atomizing water spray component 70, which extends downward into the cooling box 10 for spraying water into the cooling box 10.

[0046] Specifically, the atomized water vapor sprayed by the atomizing water spray component 70 evaporates rapidly in the cooling environment, absorbing a large amount of heat energy and achieving phase change-assisted cooling. This is suitable for rapid cooling of high-temperature cable materials and also reduces the viscosity of the cable materials, further preventing the cable materials from sticking to the guide plate 30.

[0047] In some embodiments, see Figure 1The atomizing water spray component 70 includes a water storage tank 71, a water outlet pipe 72, a branch pipe 74, and an atomizing nozzle 75. The water storage tank 71 is located on the top of the cooling box 10 and is used for water storage. The water outlet pipe 72 is connected to the side wall of the water storage tank 71 and extends downward through the top wall of the water storage tank 71. A water pump 73 is installed on the water outlet pipe 72. The branch pipe 74 is connected to the lower end of the water outlet pipe 72 and extends horizontally. The atomizing nozzle 75 is connected to the bottom of the branch pipe 74 and faces downward.

[0048] Specifically, several atomizing nozzles 75 are spaced apart along the axial direction of the branch pipe 74. The horizontal extension of the branch pipe 74, together with the bottom atomizing nozzles 75, forms a "water curtain" covering the entire width of the guide plate 30, preventing localized over-wetting. The water pump 73 draws water from the water storage tank 71, and the water pump 73 and the water storage tank 71 are independently supplied with water. The stable water pressure ensures the atomized particle size and improves the evaporation efficiency.

[0049] In one possible implementation, the aforementioned cooling component 20 adopts, as shown in... Figure 1 The structure shown is described in the following document. Figure 1 The refrigeration component 20 is a cold air blower, which has an air outlet duct 21 extending into the cooling box 10.

[0050] Specifically, the forced airflow of the air cooler eliminates temperature stratification inside the cooling box 10. The air cooler can be lifted and turned on to pre-cool the guide plate 30 and the internal space of the cooling box 10.

[0051] Furthermore, there are two cooling components 20, which are located on two opposite side walls of the cooling box 10. One cooling component 20 is positioned opposite to the guide plate 30 located in the middle, and the other cooling component 20 is positioned opposite to the guide plate 30 located below, for direct blowing on the cable material on the guide plate 30 to cool it down quickly.

[0052] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
