Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of partition cooling devices, specifically to a labyrinth partition cooling device for a double-sided centering mechanism of a BD machine. Background Technology

[0002] During the operation of a BD (plate forming, metal forming, and other specialized equipment) machine, the double-sided centering mechanism, as a core transmission and positioning component, must withstand mechanical friction, load impact, and heat generated by high-speed operation for extended periods. As the precision requirements of BD machines continue to increase, the operational stability of the double-sided centering mechanism directly affects product processing quality, and rising temperature is one of the key factors leading to performance degradation.

[0003] Existing cooling methods for dual-sided centering mechanisms mostly employ simple air-cooling or single-channel water-cooling structures. Air-cooling is greatly affected by ambient temperature, has low cooling efficiency, and struggles to quickly remove heat from the core area of ​​the mechanism. Single-channel water-cooling structures, due to their short water flow path and limited contact area with the mechanism, result in insufficient heat exchange and are prone to localized overheating. Furthermore, some cooling devices feature right-angled baffle designs, which can easily create eddies and dead zones as water flows through them. This not only reduces water flow velocity but can also lead to impurity accumulation, causing blockage of cooling channels with prolonged use and further weakening the cooling effect. Utility Model Content

[0004] Technical problems to be solved

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention provides a labyrinth partition cooling device for the double-sided centering mechanism of a BD machine, which can effectively solve the problems in the existing technology.

[0006] Technical solution

[0007] This utility model provides a labyrinth partition cooling device for the double-sided centering mechanism of a BD machine, including a box body, a sealing plate fixed to the bottom of the box body, partitions fixed to both side walls of the box body, and an inlet and an outlet connected to both ends of the box body respectively.

[0008] Furthermore, the partitions are symmetrically spaced on the inner wall of the box, forming a labyrinthine groove with the box.

[0009] Furthermore, the bottom sides of each set of partitions have a rounded corner structure with respect to the box body.

[0010] Furthermore, the sealing plates are symmetrically fixed on the upper and lower sides of the box.

[0011] Furthermore, each of the aforementioned partitions is made of a thermally conductive material.

[0012] Furthermore, the shape of each set of partitions can be one or more sets of rectangles, circles, and trapezoids.

[0013] Beneficial effects

[0014] In this invention, the labyrinth partition cooling system for the double-sided centering mechanism of the BD machine welds partitions inside the centering pusher box, creating a labyrinthine water flow channel within the box. The circulating cooling water removes the heat generated during the rolling process of the centering pusher equipment, effectively maintaining a stable operating temperature for the entire box and preventing deformation due to heat. The cooling device uses symmetrically spaced partitions on the side walls at both ends of the box, forming a labyrinthine trough that significantly extends the flow path of the cooling water within the box. The water flows slowly and thoroughly within the labyrinthine trough, significantly increasing the contact area with the partitions and the inner wall of the box. This allows for more comprehensive absorption of heat transferred from the double-sided centering mechanism, effectively solving the problem of insufficient heat exchange in traditional single-channel cooling methods. This achieves uniform cooling of the double-sided centering mechanism, ensuring stable operation of the mechanism at a suitable temperature. Attached Figure Description

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.

[0024] Example 1: A labyrinth baffle cooling device for a dual-sided centering mechanism of a BD machine, see attached figure. Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 3 The system includes a housing 2, with a sealing plate 1 fixed to the bottom of the housing 2. Partitions 3 are fixed to both side walls of the housing 2, and water inlets 5 and outlets 4 are connected to both ends of the housing 2, respectively. The labyrinth partition 3 cooling system of the double-sided centering mechanism of this BD machine uses partitions 3 welded inside the centering push plate housing 2 to form a labyrinth-shaped water flow channel inside the housing. The cooling water circulation carries away the heat generated during the rolling process of the centering push plate equipment, which can effectively maintain the stable working temperature of the housing 2 as a whole, so that the housing 2 will not deform due to heat. The cooling device sets partitions 3 symmetrically at intervals on both side walls of the housing 2 to form a labyrinth-shaped trough with the housing, which greatly extends the flow path of the cooling water inside the housing.

[0025] The baffles 3 are symmetrically distributed on the inner wall of the box 2, forming a labyrinthine trough with the box 2. The water flows slowly and fully in the labyrinthine trough, and the contact area with the baffles 3 and the inner wall of the box 2 is significantly increased. This allows for more comprehensive absorption of the heat transferred by the double-sided centering mechanism, effectively solving the problem of insufficient heat exchange in the traditional single-channel cooling method. This achieves uniform cooling of the double-sided centering mechanism and ensures stable operation of the mechanism at a suitable temperature.

[0026] The bottom sides of each set of partitions 3 are rounded with the box body 2; the sealing plate 1 is symmetrically fixed on the upper and lower sides of the box body 2; each set of partitions 3 is made of heat-conducting material; the bottom sides of each set of partitions 3 are designed with rounded corners with the box body 2, which can effectively reduce water flow resistance and avoid water flow eddies and stagnation at corners compared with the traditional right-angle connection structure, so that the cooling water can keep flowing smoothly in the labyrinthine tank; in this embodiment, the shape of the partition 3 is rectangular, which, combined with the rounded corner structure, facilitates welding and fixation, improves stability, and reduces the possibility of medium backflow.

[0027] Meanwhile, the smooth water flow reduces the probability of impurities accumulating in the channels, significantly lowering the risk of cooling channel blockage, extending the maintenance cycle of the cooling device, and reducing equipment downtime for maintenance. Each set of baffles 3 is made of thermally conductive material, possessing excellent thermal conductivity, which can quickly transfer the heat generated during the operation of the double-sided centering mechanism to the cooling water, accelerating heat transfer efficiency. Combined with the thorough heat exchange design of the labyrinthine tank, the overall heat dissipation effect is further improved, which can quickly remove the large amount of heat generated by the mechanism, effectively suppressing the performance degradation problem caused by excessive temperature, and extending the service life of the double-sided centering mechanism.

[0028] Example 2: Refer to Appendix Figure 4 -Appendix Figure 5 In this embodiment, based on the first embodiment, the partition 3 can be trapezoidal. The symmetrical partition 3 structure within the housing 2 can guide the flow of the medium, which can also extend the flow time and improve the cooling effect. Different shapes of partition 3 structures can achieve precise cooling, which is suitable for the cooling needs of the double-sided centering mechanism of different specifications of BD machine, and has strong versatility and practicality.

[0029] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions will not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the protection scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
