Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of silicone foam production technology, and in particular to a cooling device for the production of liquid silicone foam. Background Technology
[0002] In the production process of liquid silicone foam, the cooling device plays a crucial role. It is primarily used to cool the high-temperature liquid silicone foam during production. When liquid silicone foam is being molded, it typically requires roller die-casting, followed by rapid drying and cooling by a drying molding machine. This ensures the liquid silicone foam can complete the curing and molding process at a suitable temperature. The performance of this device directly affects the product quality and production efficiency of the liquid silicone foam.
[0003] Currently, after silicone foam is die-cast on rollers, air cooling is typically used during the drying process to quickly dissipate heat. However, in actual use, the heat dissipation efficiency of air cooling is relatively insufficient. In hot weather or high-temperature environments, its cooling capacity is not good enough, affecting the quality of rapid roller forming of silicone foam. It cannot remove the large amount of heat generated by the liquid silicone foam in time, and it is prone to deformation due to excessively high temperature after drying, requiring a long time to cool and solidify, thus prolonging the cooling time and reducing production efficiency. The existing equipment's water cooling and air cooling combined cooling capacity is relatively insufficient, and the heat dissipation and heat exchange rate are not good enough, affecting product quality stability and production efficiency. Therefore, we propose a cooling device for liquid silicone foam production to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0029] The beneficial effects of this solution are as follows: A drying and forming hood 2 is installed at the top of the drying tunnel forming machine 1 to quickly dry and cool the formed foam. A cooling water tank 3 is installed at the bottom of the drying and forming hood 2. Water in the cooling water tank 3 can be drawn in under high pressure by the atomizing cooling component 4 and then sprayed into the atomized water. Simultaneously, during the spraying process, the atomizing air-cooling component 5 blows air onto the top and sides of the drying and forming hood 2, ensuring that the drying and forming hood 2 maintains air cooling while simultaneously using atomized water for heat dissipation and cooling, resulting in high cooling efficiency. The water return component 6 can remove the highly adsorbed material inside the drying and forming hood 2. After cooling, the atomized water vapor is reabsorbed and guided into the cooling water tank 3, reducing water waste and forming a water circulation operation.

Then, the atomized cooling component 4 and the atomized air-cooling component 5 perform intermittent air-cooling and water-cooling heat dissipation to complete the rapid air-cooling and water-cooling heat dissipation operation. This device integrates air-cooling and water-cooling heat dissipation, with high heat dissipation efficiency and quality, improving foam production efficiency. Moreover, the temperature control switch 7 can perform intermittent drying and rapid heat dissipation according to the temperature, resulting in high-quality foam cooling and forming.

The drying operation is carried out according to the temperature change inside the drying and molding outer cover 2. The temperature control switch 7 is electrically connected to the U-shaped heating wires 21, the atomizing cooling component 4, and the atomizing air-cooling component 5. The temperature control switch 7 can control the switching and operation of the U-shaped heating wires 21, the atomizing cooling component 4, and the atomizing air-cooling component 5, so that the foam can be intermittently dried by the U-shaped heating wires 21, and then intermittently cooled by the atomizing cooling component 4 and the atomizing air-cooling component 5, completing the rapid cooling and cooling operation. The heat dissipation effect is good, and the cooling and molding quality is excellent.
[0034] Furthermore, the top and sides of the cooling water tank 3 are respectively provided with a fallback installation pipe 31 and a water outlet guide end 32.

[0035] Specifically, the cooling water tank 3 is equipped with a drop-off installation pipe 31 and a water outlet guide end 32 on the top and sides, respectively, which can be installed and fixed with the atomizing cooling component 4 and the water return component 6. The whole assembly and disassembly are convenient and easy to use in subsequent operations.
[0036] Furthermore, the atomizing cooling component 4 includes a connecting hose 41, a flow-carrying pipe 42, and an atomizing spray head 43.

[0037] Specifically, the atomizing cooling component 4 includes a connecting hose 41, a flow-guiding pipe 42, and an atomizing spray head 43. The connecting hose 41 can guide the water source in the cooling water tank 3 into the flow-guiding pipe 42, and then the atomizing spray head 43 performs atomizing spraying operations. The micro flow-guiding pump 44 can be used to pressurize and guide the water. The connecting hose 41 is in the shape of a hose, which is convenient for operation and use, and the disassembly and assembly with the cooling water tank 3 is relatively simple and convenient.

While blowing air, it can stably blow atomized water vapor from both sides into the drying and molding outer cover 2. The water vapor can absorb a large amount of heat during the evaporation process, thus achieving a heat dissipation effect. The two auxiliary fans 52 blow air into the drying and molding outer cover 2 from the sides. The auxiliary blowing is stable. Excess water vapor in the drying and molding outer cover 2 can be returned to the cooling water tank 3 by the water return component 6. The drying and molding outer cover 2 is not prone to water vapor residue, the foam molding is stable, and a rapid heat dissipation and cooling effect can be achieved.

The two ends of the return guide pipe 61 are respectively connected to the inside of the drying and molding outer cover 2 and the cooling water tank 3. The top of the cooling water tank 3 is provided with a guide air outlet 63.
[0041] Specifically, the return flow pipe 61 can redirect excess water vapor inside the dried and molded outer cover 2 back to the cooling water tank 3. The waterproof fan 62 plays a role in exhausting and guiding the airflow, providing a good exhaust effect for excess water vapor. Furthermore, the top of the cooling water tank 3 is equipped with a guide vent 63. When water vapor is guided into the cooling water tank 3, the guide vent 63 can release the air, ensuring stable overall gas flow.
[0042] Furthermore, the temperature control switch 7 includes a temperature monitor 71 and a switch controller 72. Both the temperature monitor 71 and the switch controller 72 are located on the outside of the drying and molding outer cover 2. The temperature monitor 71 is electrically connected to the switch controller 72, and the switch controller 72 is electrically connected to the drying and molding outer cover 2, the atomizing cooling component 4, and the atomizing air cooling component 5, respectively.
[0043] Specifically, the temperature control switch 7 includes a temperature monitor 71 and a switch controller 72.
