Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of cable manufacturing equipment, and more specifically, it relates to a cooling device for manufacturing aluminum alloy cables. Background Technology
[0002] In the modern cable manufacturing industry, aluminum alloy cables have been widely used due to their good conductivity, low density and cost advantages. In the production process of aluminum alloy cables, the cooling process is a crucial link that directly affects the quality and performance of the cables.
[0003] Traditional cooling equipment for aluminum alloy cables has a short cooling path and low heat exchange efficiency between the cooling medium and the cable, which makes it impossible to quickly cool high-temperature aluminum alloy cables to a suitable temperature. The cooling time for a single cable is long, affecting production efficiency. Therefore, in view of this, we have studied and improved the existing structure and its shortcomings to provide a cooling equipment for aluminum alloy cable manufacturing, in order to achieve a more practical purpose. Utility Model Content
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a cooling device for manufacturing aluminum alloy cables, which is achieved by the following specific technical means: A cooling device for manufacturing aluminum alloy cables includes a housing with open sides. One side opening has a cable inlet and a cable outlet. Connecting plates are fixedly installed on the inner walls of both sides of the housing. Several rotating rollers are rotatably mounted at equal intervals between the straight sections of the two connecting plates, and a steering roller is rotatably mounted on the curved sections of the two connecting plates. An infusion pipe is provided on the outer wall of the housing, and several sets of branch pipes are fixedly installed at equal intervals on the infusion pipe. Each set of branch pipes penetrates the housing and is inserted into the connecting plate. Several nozzles are fixedly installed at equal intervals at the bottom end of each branch pipe.
[0005] Furthermore, baffles are fixedly installed on both sides of the bottom surface of the inner wall of the equipment housing, and a liquid storage chamber is formed between the two baffles and the inner wall of the equipment housing.
[0006] Furthermore, a drain pipe communicating with the liquid storage tank is fixedly installed on the baffle.
[0007] Furthermore, several cooling fans are installed on the top of the device housing.
[0008] Furthermore, each of the connecting plates is designed in a snake shape.
[0009] Furthermore, several sets of limiting rollers are rotatably installed inside the equipment housing, with each set of limiting rollers located between two connecting plates.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: I. The cooling equipment for aluminum alloy cable manufacturing uses rotating rollers and deflecting rollers to make the cable travel in a serpentine pattern, which extends the cooling path and time of the cable in the equipment. At the same time, the nozzles spray the cooling medium evenly on the surface of the cable, realizing rapid and efficient heat exchange, improving cooling efficiency, and enabling the high-temperature aluminum alloy cable to be cooled to a suitable temperature quickly, thus shortening the cooling time of a single cable.
[0011] Second, the installation of the liquid storage tank and drain pipe enables the effective collection and discharge of the cooling medium, facilitating the recycling or replacement of the cooling medium.
[0012] Third, the cooling fan accelerates air circulation inside the equipment, dissipates the heat generated during operation in a timely manner, and effectively maintains a stable internal temperature. The limit roller precisely restricts the movement range of the cable, preventing the cable from touching the nozzle, reducing the probability of nozzle damage due to collision, lowering the maintenance frequency and cost, and extending the service life of the equipment.

[0021] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 4 As shown: This utility model provides a cooling device for manufacturing aluminum alloy cables, including a device housing 1. The two sides of the device housing 1 are designed with openings. A cable inlet 11 and a cable outlet 12 are provided at one side opening. Connecting plates 2 are fixedly installed on the inner walls of both sides of the device housing 1. Several rotating rollers 21 are rotatably installed at equal intervals between the straight sections of the two connecting plates 2. A steering roller 22 is rotatably installed on the curved sections of the two connecting plates 2. The rotating rollers 21 can rotate freely, which reduces the friction during cable transmission and ensures that the cable can move smoothly and steadily in the device. At the same time, the steering rollers 22 rotatably installed on the curved sections of the connecting plates 2 change the transmission direction of the cable, so that the cable is transmitted along the shape of the connecting plates 2. The outer wall of the equipment housing 1 is provided with an infusion pipe 3. Several sets of branch pipes 31 are fixedly installed on the infusion pipe 3 at equal intervals. Each set of branch pipes 31 is fixedly inserted through the equipment housing 1 and inserted into the connecting plate 2. Several nozzles 32 are fixedly installed at equal intervals at the bottom of the branch pipes 31. The cooling medium is sprayed out through the nozzles 32 at the bottom of the branch pipes 31. The nozzles 32 spray the cooling medium evenly on the surface of the cable that is transmitted in a serpentine manner, and make direct contact with the high temperature cable to quickly remove the heat from the surface of the cable. Both sides of the bottom surface of the inner wall of the equipment housing 1 are fixedly installed with baffles 4. The two baffles 4 and the inner wall of the equipment housing 1 form a liquid storage tank for collecting the cooling medium dripping after the nozzle 32 sprays. A drain pipe 41 connected to the liquid storage tank is fixedly installed on the baffle 4, which can discharge the cooling medium collected in the liquid storage tank out of the equipment for recycling or replacement. Several cooling fans 5 are installed on the top of the equipment housing 1. When the cooling fans 5 are turned on, they accelerate the air circulation inside the equipment, dissipate the heat inside the equipment to the outside environment in a timely manner, reduce the internal temperature of the equipment, and maintain the stable operation of the cooling equipment. Each connecting plate 2 is designed in a snake shape, which allows the cable to be transmitted in the equipment along the snake-shaped route of the connecting plate 2. This extends the cooling path and time of the cable in the equipment, and enables more thorough and sustained heat exchange with the cooling medium sprayed by the nozzle 32. This effectively reduces the temperature gradient of the cable and avoids local overheating or uneven cooling. Several sets of limiting rollers 6 are rotatably installed inside the equipment housing 1. Each set of limiting rollers 6 is located between two connecting plates 2 to limit the cable, effectively preventing the cable from hitting the nozzle 32 during transmission and maintaining a safe distance from the nozzle 32, thus ensuring the stable operation of the equipment and the service life of the nozzle 32.
[0022] The working principle of this embodiment: Step 1: When the high-temperature aluminum alloy cable enters from the cable inlet 11 of the equipment housing 1, it first comes into contact with several rotating rollers 21 that are rotatably installed between the straight sections of the two connecting plates 2. The rotating rollers 21 can rotate freely, which reduces the friction during cable transmission and ensures that the cable can move smoothly and steadily in the equipment. At the same time, the rotatable guide rollers 22 installed on the curved section of the connecting plate 2 change the transmission direction of the cable. Together with the rotating rollers 21, the cable is transmitted in the equipment along a route (the snake shape of the connecting plate 2). During the transmission process, it is fully cooled. The cooling medium (such as water or coolant) enters from the delivery pipe 3, passes through several sets of branch pipes 31, and is sprayed out through the nozzles 32 at the bottom of the branch pipes 31. The nozzles 32 spray the cooling medium evenly on the surface of the cable that is transmitted in a snake shape, making direct contact with the high-temperature cable and quickly removing the heat from the surface of the cable. Step 2: A liquid storage tank is formed between the baffles 4 on both sides of the bottom surface of the inner wall of the equipment housing 1 and the inner wall. This tank is used to collect the cooling medium dripping after the nozzles 32 spray. The drain pipe 41 fixedly installed on the baffles 4 can discharge the cooling medium collected in the liquid storage tank into the equipment for recycling or replacement. In addition, several cooling fans 5 installed on the top of the equipment housing 1 accelerate the air circulation inside the equipment, dissipate the heat inside the equipment to the external environment in a timely manner, reduce the internal temperature of the equipment, and maintain the stable operation of the cooling equipment. Step 3: Several sets of limiting rollers 6 are rotatably installed inside the equipment housing 1, located between the two connecting plates 2. Their main function is to limit the cable, effectively preventing the cable from hitting the nozzle 32 during transmission, ensuring that the cable is always within the effective spraying range of the nozzle 32 and maintains a safe distance from the nozzle 32, thus ensuring the stable operation of the equipment and the service life of the nozzle 32.
