Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of grate cooler technology, and in particular to a grate cooler. Background Technology

[0002] As a key piece of equipment used in industries such as cement and metallurgy for cooling high-temperature materials, the performance of grate coolers directly affects production efficiency and product quality. In existing technologies, grate coolers typically use conveying devices to transport materials and simultaneously use cooling systems to cool them.

[0003] Existing technologies have the following problems: Common grate cooler cooling systems often employ a combination of a manifold and nozzles. However, this structure has significant drawbacks. Assembling the manifold and nozzles requires numerous components, increasing manufacturing costs and complicating the assembly process, thus reducing efficiency. Furthermore, the uniformity of cooling air distribution in existing systems is difficult to guarantee. Due to issues with nozzle distribution and angle settings, localized concentration or uneven dispersion of cooling air can easily occur, affecting the cooling effect on the material. This can lead to insufficient cooling or inconsistent cooling rates, impacting subsequent processing. Additionally, many components in existing grate cooler cooling systems are fixedly connected, which increases the risk of problems when components malfunction. When damaged or requiring cleaning and maintenance, the disassembly and installation process is extremely difficult, requiring a significant amount of time and manpower, increasing maintenance costs and downtime, and adversely affecting the continuity of production. Moreover, during the material conveying process, materials easily adhere to the surface of the conveying device. If these residues are not cleaned in time, they will gradually accumulate, affecting not only the normal operation of the conveying device but also potentially contaminating the materials being conveyed subsequently, thus affecting product quality. Existing grate coolers lack an effective cleaning structure specifically designed for removing residues from the conveying surface, typically requiring regular manual cleaning, which is not only labor-intensive but also ineffective, failing to meet production needs.

[0004] To address these shortcomings, we have proposed a grate cooler. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a grate cooler to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a grate cooler, comprising a housing, a conveying device disposed inside the housing, and a drive motor disposed below the conveying device via a bracket, a cleaning roller mounted on the output end of the drive motor, the cleaning roller being used in conjunction with the conveying device, a drain pipe fixedly mounted on the bottom surface of the housing, a cooler fixedly mounted on the top surface of the housing, a cooler duct mounted on the air outlet end of the cooler, a connecting seat fixedly connected to the inner top surface of the housing, an air outlet plate detachably mounted on the connecting seat, and an air outlet hole opened on the surface of the air outlet plate, the end of the cooler duct away from the cooler being connected to the air outlet plate, the air outlet plate having a receiving cavity, and a locking block disposed inside the receiving cavity via a spring, the surface of the connecting seat having a locking hole for use with the locking block.

[0007] The cleaning rollers are provided in multiple quantities and are equidistantly distributed between the conveying device and the housing.

[0008] The air outlet is provided in multiple ways, and the multiple air outlets are arrayed on the surface of the air outlet plate.

[0009] The air cooler, conveyor, and drive motor are all electrically connected to an external power source via wires.

[0010] The conveying device is arranged parallel to the housing.

[0011] The volume of the locking block is smaller than the volume of the receiving cavity.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: This invention uses a perforated air outlet plate instead of the traditional combination of a flow divider plate and nozzle, significantly reducing the number of parts and greatly simplifying the structure of the equipment. This improvement makes the assembly process simpler, significantly improves assembly efficiency, effectively shortens the production cycle, and reduces production costs. At the same time, the air outlet holes at the bottom of the air outlet plate are distributed in a matrix, which can ensure that the cooling air is blown evenly onto the material on the conveying device, ensuring uniform cooling of the material and improving the cooling effect. The air outlet plate and the air outlet pipe adopt a detachable connection design. When the air outlet plate is blocked or damaged and needs maintenance, the staff can easily disassemble the air outlet plate for cleaning or replacement. The operation is simple and convenient, reducing maintenance time and labor costs, and is conducive to the long-term stable operation of the equipment.

[0013] The cleaning brush in this invention is designed to promptly remove residual materials adhering to the surface of the conveying device. During the operation of the conveying device, the cleaning brush comes into contact with the conveying surface and can sweep away the residual materials, avoiding the accumulation of materials on the surface of the conveying device. This not only ensures the normal operation of the conveying device, but also prevents the residual materials from contaminating the materials being conveyed subsequently, improving product quality, and also reducing the labor intensity of manual cleaning.

[0030] The top inner side of the housing 1 is fixed with a connecting seat 11. The air outlet plate 8 is detachably installed on the connecting seat 11, which facilitates the disassembly and maintenance of the air outlet plate 8.

[0031] Furthermore, the surface of the air outlet plate 8 is provided with air outlet holes 9.

[0032] The air outlet plate 8 has air outlet holes 9 on its surface, which are used to evenly guide the cooling air to the surface of the material.

[0033] The end of the cold air duct 10 away from the air cooler 7 is connected to the air outlet plate 8.

[0034] The other end of the cold air duct 10 is connected to the air outlet plate 8, so that the cooling air generated by the air cooler 7 enters the interior of the air outlet plate 8 through the cold air duct 10.

[0035] The air outlet plate 8 has a receiving cavity 12, and a locking block 15 is provided inside the receiving cavity 12 by means of a spring 13.

[0036] An accommodating cavity 12 is formed on the air outlet plate 8. A locking block 15 is connected to the accommodating cavity 12 through a spring 13. The spring 13 provides elastic force to the locking block 15.

[0049] Working principle: During use, the material to be cooled is placed on the conveying device 2, and the external power supply is connected. The conveying device 2 starts and drives the material to move horizontally along the inside of the housing 1. At the same time, the cooler 7 starts, and the generated cooling air is conveyed to the air outlet plate 8 through the cool air pipe 10. Then, it is blown evenly onto the material through the air outlet holes 9 distributed in an array on the surface of the air outlet plate 8 to achieve the cooling treatment of the material. The drive motor 4 starts synchronously, driving multiple equally spaced cleaning rollers 3 to rotate. The cleaning rollers 3 contact the surface of the conveying device 2 and clean off the residual adhering material on the conveying device 2. The impurities generated during cleaning are discharged through the drain pipe 6 at the bottom of the housing 1. The air outlet plate 8 is detachably connected by the locking block 15 and the locking hole 14 on the connecting seat 11. When the air outlet plate 8 needs to be maintained, press the locking block 15 to compress the spring 13 and disengage it from the locking hole 14, and the air outlet plate 8 can be removed. After maintenance, it can be reinstalled.
