Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of carbon fiber composite cooling, and specifically relates to a device for rapid cooling of carbon fiber composites. Background Technology

[0002] In the processing and application of carbon fiber composites, cooling is crucial, especially for high-temperature components just removed from autoclaves, ovens, or molds. A controlled, slow, and uniform cooling method is required. Ideally, this involves programmed cooling within the autoclave or oven according to a pre-set cooling rate curve. However, this method is relatively slow and cannot meet the demands of rapid production.

[0003] Placing components at room temperature for natural heat dissipation is also a common method, but this method also suffers from slow cooling speed and is easily affected by environmental factors.

[0004] At the same time, existing cooling devices have certain limitations and cannot be applied to carbon fiber composite materials of different sizes.

[0005] Therefore, the above problems urgently need to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0006] Purpose of the utility model: In order to overcome the above shortcomings, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a device for rapid cooling of carbon fiber composites. A cooling component is set on one side of the cabinet, and airflow circulation is achieved through the ventilation vents inside the cabinet, thereby achieving the effect of rapid cooling of the material. With the help of a temperature probe, the temperature is kept within the range that the material can withstand. At the same time, the grid strips and clips allow for convenient adjustment of the support for materials of different heights, improving the versatility of the device.

[0018] Specifically, the refrigerant in evaporator 25 absorbs heat and becomes a low-temperature, low-pressure gas, which is then drawn into compressor 22 through a pipe.

[0028] Specifically, it is preferable to design the water tray 251 as a detachable structure to facilitate regular cleaning and maintenance and prevent clogging and corrosion; at the same time, a sealing gasket can be installed at the drain hole 2511 to ensure that condensate does not leak into the equipment during the drainage process.

[0029] In this embodiment, as Figures 1 to 3 The cabinet 1 is also equipped with a control console 12; the control console 12 is located next to the evaporator 25 and is used to control the start and stop of the equipment; the cabinet 1 is also equipped with a set of sealing doors 13; the sealing doors 13 are located next to the control console 12.
