Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of cable production, and in particular relates to a cold water tank for cable production. Background Technology
[0002] During cable production, cold water tanks are used to cool the cables that have just come out of the extruder. Existing cold water tanks for cable production generally consist of a tank body, partitions, and sponge blocks. The two ends of the tank body are separated by two partitions to form clamping grooves. Sponge blocks that can elastically wrap around the cable substrate from bottom to top are embedded in the clamping grooves. Because the sponge blocks themselves have poor wear resistance, after a while, the originally tight contact with the cable will loosen, making it difficult to effectively wipe away water stains from the cable after it leaves the cold water tank, which will affect subsequent production. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To overcome the technical problems described in the background section, this utility model provides a cold water tank for cable production. Synchronously rotating swing cams are installed at both ends of the cold water tank. The swing cams contact a push rod. When the water in the flushing box overflows and the swing cams swing back and forth, the push rod is also impacted. This breaks the original static state of the inverted triangular blocks pressing against the sponge block. The two inverted triangular blocks repeatedly squeeze the sponge block from the left and right sides, achieving a periodic action. This improves the contact stability between the sponge block and the cable substrate, enhances the quality of water stain removal from the cable after it leaves the cold water tank, and facilitates subsequent production and processing of the cable substrate.
[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a cold water tank for cable production, including a tank body, partitions and sponge blocks. The two ends of the tank body are separated into clamping grooves by two partitions. A sponge block that can elastically wrap the cable substrate from bottom to top is embedded in the clamping groove. Inverted triangular blocks are embedded from top to bottom on the left and right sides of the clamping groove. The opposite faces of the two inverted triangular blocks in the same clamping groove press against the corresponding sponge blocks. An upper connecting plate is fixed at the upper end of the two inverted triangular blocks in the same clamping groove. The left and right ends of the upper connecting plate are respectively provided with top rods that vertically penetrate the side edge of the tank body. The lower end of the top rods supports a swing cam. A rotating shaft passes through the rotation center of the swing cam. The rotating shaft passes horizontally through the tank body and the part of the rotating shaft inside the tank body is provided with an upward-opening flushing box.
[0005] Furthermore, the swing cam adopts an asymmetrical profile, with the end near the center of the tank being smaller than the end far from the center of the tank. When the water flow does not impact the flushing box, the protrusions on both sides of the swing cam remain balanced and just contact the lower end of the push rod. When the water flow impacts the flushing box, as the water flow gradually enters the flushing box, the flushing box tilts and drives the end of the swing cam near the center of the tank to rotate downwards until the flushing box overturns, causing the swing cam to swing. The end of the swing cam near the center of the tank repeatedly hits the lower end of the push rod, causing the inverted triangular block to pressurize the sponge block up and down.
[0006] Furthermore, the sponge block is embedded into the clamping groove by elastic deformation caused by pressure at both ends.
[0007] Furthermore, the bottom of the tank is provided with several drainage holes, each of which is blocked by a removable drainage plug.
[0008] Furthermore, the upper middle part of the partition has a notch facing a U-shaped opening, through which the cable base elastically contacts the sponge block and passes.
[0009] The beneficial effects of this invention due to the adoption of the above-mentioned technology are as follows: This invention has a horizontally penetrating rotating shaft at the end of the cold water tank. The left and right ends of the rotating shaft are outside the tank body and are connected by a key to realize the synchronous action of two swinging cams. The swinging cams contact the push rod. When the water in the flushing box is full and overflows, causing the swinging cams to swing back and forth, the push rod will also be impacted, which breaks the original state of the inverted triangular block pressing against the sponge block. The two inverted triangular blocks squeeze the sponge block from the left and right sides respectively, realizing periodic action, improving the contact stability between the sponge block and the cable substrate, improving the quality of water stain removal on the cable after it leaves the cold water tank, and facilitating the subsequent production and processing of the cable substrate.

[0015] Example 1: As Figures 1-4As shown, this utility model provides a cold water tank for cable production, including a tank body 2, partitions 8, and sponge blocks 9. The two ends of the tank body 2 are separated by two partitions 8 to form clamping grooves 11. Sponge blocks 9, capable of elastically wrapping the cable substrate 1 from bottom to top, are embedded in the clamping grooves 11. Inverted triangular blocks 10 are embedded from top to bottom on the left and right sides of the clamping grooves 11. The opposite faces of two inverted triangular blocks 10 in the same clamping groove 11 press against the corresponding sponge blocks 9. The sponge blocks 9 undergo elastic deformation due to pressure at both ends. An upper connecting plate 12 is fixedly provided at the upper end of two inverted triangular blocks 10 in the same clamping groove 11. The left and right ends of the upper connecting plate 12 are respectively provided with a top rod 4 that penetrates vertically downward through the side groove edge 13 of the groove body 2. The lower end of the top rod 4 is supported by a swing cam 5. The rotation center of the swing cam 5 is through a rotating shaft 6. The rotating shaft 6 penetrates the groove body 2 laterally and has an upward-opening flushing box 7 in the part inside the groove body 2. The pin 14 pins the flushing box 7 to the middle of the rotating shaft 6, so that the rotating shaft 6 can be installed through the groove body 2.
[0016] The swing cam 5 has an asymmetrical profile, with the end closer to the center of the tank 2 being smaller than the end farther from the center of the tank 2. When the swing cam 5 is not impacted by water flow into the flushing box 7, the protrusions on both sides of the swing cam 5 remain balanced and just contact the lower end of the push rod 4. When the flushing box 7 is impacted by water flow, as the water flow gradually enters the flushing box 7, the flushing box 7 tilts and drives the end of the swing cam 5 closer to the center of the tank 2 to rotate downwards until the flushing box 7 overturns, causing the swing cam 5 to swing. The end of the swing cam 5 closer to the center of the tank 2 repeatedly hits the lower end of the push rod 4, causing the inverted triangular block 10 to press the sponge block 9 up and down repeatedly. This allows the sponge block 9 to produce a certain degree of elastic reset and periodic push-back action, which facilitates the adjustment of the contact between the sponge block 9 and the cable substrate 1. This changes the previous single static contact to a certain degree of dynamic contact, improves the contact stability between the sponge block and the cable substrate, improves the quality of water stain removal on the cable after it leaves the cold water tank, and facilitates the subsequent production and processing of the cable substrate.
[0017] To facilitate the layout of drainage pipes and enable flexible deployment of water pipes within the factory area, multiple drainage holes are provided at the bottom of the tank 2, each blocked by a removable drainage plug 3. Water pipes can be connected by removing the corresponding originally threaded drainage plug 3 as needed.
[0018] In order to facilitate the bending of the two ends of the sponge block 9 from bottom to top under pressure to clamp the cable base 1, a notch with a U-shaped opening is provided in the middle of the upper part of the partition plate 8. The cable base 1 and the sponge block 9 make elastic contact and pass through the notch. The sponge block 9 can then make elastic contact with the cable base 1 to wipe away water stains on the cable and facilitate subsequent production.
