Multiple fan mounting brackets are fixed on both sides of the cooling chamber steel structure, with each pair of axial flow fans fixed to one fan mounting bracket.

[0010] Furthermore, temperature measuring couplers are installed on the steel structure of the cooling chamber.

[0011] Furthermore, multiple material support racks are installed at the bottom of the steel structure inside the cooling chamber.

[0012] Furthermore, multiple material support racks are arranged at equal intervals.

[0013] Furthermore, the cooling chamber door includes a door steel structure and multiple wheel mechanisms;

[0015] Furthermore, the door starting mechanism includes a starter motor, a drive connecting shaft and sprocket mechanism, and a support frame;

[0016] The motor is connected to the drive shaft via gear transmission. The motor is fixed on the support frame, and the drive shaft is rotatably connected to the support frame.

[0019] Beneficial effects:

[0020] This solution features an aluminum plate air-cooled cooling chamber that centrally cools aluminum plates. After the door opening mechanism opens the cooling chamber door, the cooled aluminum alloy plates are loaded into the cooling chamber shell. Once the door is closed, the axial flow fan is started to exhaust hot air into the exhaust duct and lead it outdoors. This solution allows for centralized cooling of the aluminum alloy plates after they are sorted, resulting in high cooling efficiency and a small footprint for material storage. The separate air-cooled cooling chamber eliminates the need to pile up aluminum alloy plates in the workshop, preventing excessively high workshop temperatures. Attached Figure Description
