Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cooling devices, and in particular to a composite cooling tank. Background Technology
[0002] Composite metal sheets are products in which polymer composite materials (commonly known as plastics) are attached to the surface of metal profiles through extrusion. Water pipes are also products formed through extrusion. These products require cooling after extrusion. The traditional cooling method involves setting up a cooling tank, with a water pipe running along it, and several spray nozzles attached to the pipe. As the product moves within the cooling tank, the spray nozzles spray cooling media from all directions to cool it. However, this traditional method has a drawback: different products have different performance requirements, thus limiting their cooling efficiency and the type of cooling medium. Some products even respond better to different cooling media at different temperature levels, while the traditional method can only use one cooling medium at a time and cannot adjust the cooling medium at different locations accordingly. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, the purpose of this invention is to provide a composite cooling tank that can use a single medium or multiple media to cool products.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the problem is: a composite cooling tank, comprising:
[0005] The cooling body has cooling channels, with a feed inlet at one end and a discharge outlet at the other end. At least two isolated main pipes are arranged along the front-to-back direction on the cooling body. Each main pipe has an independent input port with a main switch. Each main pipe has at least two cooling nozzles facing the cooling channels, each with a sub-switch. A connecting pipe connects adjacent main pipes with a connecting switch. A return outlet is located at the bottom of the cooling channels.
[0006] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, all the main pipelines are connected end to end.
[0007] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the surface of the main pipe is provided with several installation ports, an extension pipe is installed at the installation port, the cooling nozzle is located at the end of the extension pipe, and the sub-switch is arranged on the extension pipe.
[0008] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the connecting pipe is connected to the last extension pipe of the preceding main pipe and the first extension pipe of the following main pipe, and the connection between the connecting pipe and the extension pipe is located between the sub-switch and the mounting port.
[0009] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, a tee is arranged between the last extension pipe of the first main pipe and its corresponding installation port, and a tee is also arranged between the first extension pipe of the second main pipe and its corresponding installation port. The two ends of the connecting pipe are respectively connected to the two tees.
[0010] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the inlet of the first main pipeline is arranged on the connecting pipe via a tee, and the connection position between the inlet and the connecting pipe is located at the front end of the connecting switch.
[0011] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the extension tube is a rigid gooseneck tube.
[0012] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the bottom of the cooling body is provided with the same number of pumps as the main pipeline, and the output port of each pump is provided with a detachable conduit for movably connecting to the input port of the main pipeline.
[0013] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the bottom surface of the cooling channel is provided with several parallel support frames arranged sequentially along the length direction, and the support frames are pivotally connected to support rollers.
[0014] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the cooling body includes an elevated support arranged on the side of the cooling tank, and the main pipes are all arranged on the elevated support, with the main pipes being higher than the top surface of the cooling tank.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: When using this solution, the connecting switches on all connecting pipes can be closed, and then each input port on all main pipes can be connected to an independent medium, thereby achieving sequential cooling of multiple media. Alternatively, only one medium can be connected to the input port of one main pipe, and then the medium can be allowed to flow into another main pipe by opening the connecting pipe, thus achieving cooling of two or more main pipes using the same medium. Or, only one medium can be connected to the input port of one main pipe, and all connecting pipes can be closed, thereby achieving cooling of only a small area. Attached Figure Description

[0023] Reference Figures 1 to 2 A composite cooling tank, characterized in that it comprises:
[0024] The cooling body 10 has a cooling channel 11. One end of the cooling channel 11 has a feed inlet, and the other end has a discharge outlet. At least two isolated main pipes 20 are arranged on the cooling body 10 along the front-back direction. Each main pipe 20 has an independent input port 21 and a main switch 22. Each main pipe 20 has at least two cooling nozzles 30 facing the cooling channel 11. Each cooling nozzle 30 has a sub-switch 31. A connecting pipe 40 is also provided between two adjacent main pipes 20. A connecting switch 41 is provided on the connecting pipe 40. A return port 12 is provided at the bottom of the cooling channel 11.
[0025] In use, this solution can be implemented by closing the connecting switches 41 on all connecting pipes 40, and then connecting each of the inlet ports 21 on all main pipes 20 to an independent medium, thereby achieving sequential cooling of multiple media. Alternatively, only one medium can be connected to the inlet port 21 of one main pipe 20, and then the medium can be flowed into another main pipe 20 by opening the connecting pipe 40, so that two or more main pipes 20 can be cooled by the same medium. Or, only one medium can be connected to the inlet port 21 of one main pipe 20, and all connecting pipes 40 can be closed, thereby achieving cooling of only a small area.
[0026] Next, this solution will be illustrated with examples of common scenarios.
[0027] For example, if two main pipes 20 are arranged, the commonly used media are water and air. When in use, water is connected to the first main pipe 20, and air is connected to the second main pipe 20. When water is required for cooling, the main switch 22 connecting the water main pipe 20 is opened, and the main switch 22 connecting the air main pipe 20 is closed. Then, the connecting pipe 40 is opened. At this time, water flows from the first main pipe 20 into the connecting pipe 40 and then into the second main pipe 20, allowing the cooling nozzles 30 on both main pipes 20 to spray water onto the product for cooling. Conversely, if air is required for cooling, simply close the main switch 22 connecting the water main pipe 20, open the main switch 22 connecting the air main pipe 20, and then open the connecting pipe 40. When water cooling is required in the first section, and air cooling and drying are required in the second section, the main switch 22 connecting the water main pipe 20 and the main switch 22 connecting the air main pipe 20 are opened, and the connecting switch 41 on the connecting pipe 40 is closed, allowing the two main pipes 20 to operate independently. In this case, the connection points between the gas and water can be adjusted automatically, or when using only a single medium, the other medium can be omitted entirely.
[0028] If three main pipes 20 are arranged, two liquid media and one gaseous media are often used, such as water, oil, and gas. In this case, the three main pipes 20 are named Pipe 1, Pipe 2, and Pipe 3, respectively. Pipe 1 connects to water, Pipe 2 connects to oil, and Pipe 3 connects to gas. During use, all connecting switches 41 can be closed, thus dividing the cooling of the cooling channel 11 into three sections. During the product's movement, it sequentially undergoes three processes: water cooling, oil cooling, and air cooling drying. If it is necessary to adjust to full water cooling, full oil cooling, or full air cooling, the corresponding main switch 22 is turned on and the main switches 22 of the other two main pipes 20 are turned off. Then, all connecting switches 41 are turned on, allowing a single medium to flow into the three main pipes 20.
[0029] To further optimize the system and reduce wasted space, it is preferable that all the main pipes 20 are connected end to end.
[0030] Further optimization is preferred, where the surface of the main pipe 20 is provided with several mounting ports 201, an extension pipe 32 is installed at each mounting port 201, the cooling nozzle 30 is located at the end of the extension pipe 32, and the sub-switch 31 is arranged on the extension pipe 32, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the position of the cooling nozzle 30 for spray cooling of the product. Preferably, the extension pipe 32 is a rigid gooseneck pipe.
[0031] Based on this, considering the convenience of installation and subsequent disassembly and maintenance, it is preferable that the connecting pipe 40 is connected to the last extension pipe 32 of the preceding main pipe 20 and the first extension pipe 32 of the following main pipe 20, and the connection between the connecting pipe 40 and the extension pipe 32 is located between the sub-switch 31 and the mounting port 201. Specifically, a tee 50 is arranged between the last extension pipe 32 of the preceding main pipe 20 and its corresponding mounting port 201, and a tee 50 is also arranged between the first extension pipe 32 of the following main pipe 20 and its corresponding mounting port 201. The two ends of the connecting pipe 40 are respectively connected to the two tees 50.
[0032] Further optimization is made by arranging the inlet 21 of the first main pipe 20 on the connecting pipe 40 via a tee 50, and the connection position between the inlet 21 and the connecting pipe 40 is located at the front end of the connecting switch 41, thereby making the production and assembly process more convenient and the parts specifications more standardized.
[0033] To further optimize the product and facilitate the connection with various media, it is preferable that the bottom of the cooling body 10 is equipped with the same number of pumps as the main pipeline 20, and each pump's output port is equipped with a detachable conduit for movably connecting to the input port 21 of the main pipeline 20. This integrates the pumps, making it convenient to connect with and transport media.
[0034] Further optimization is preferred, where the bottom surface of the cooling channel 11 is arranged with several parallel support frames along the length direction, and the support frames are pivotally connected to support rollers 13, thereby facilitating the movement of products within the cooling channel 11.
[0035] Further optimization is preferred, the cooling body 10 includes an elevated support 14 arranged on the side of the cooling tank, the main pipes 20 are all arranged on the elevated support 14, and the main pipes 20 are higher than the top surface of the cooling tank 11.
[0036] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and do not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the inventive concept of this utility model and the contents of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
