Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of rock wool production equipment, specifically relating to a cooling device for rock wool production. Background Technology
[0002] Rock wool is an excellent thermal insulation, sound absorption, and heat insulation material, widely used in construction and industrial fields. In the production process of rock wool, molten rock is spun into fibers under centrifugal force and collected into felt, which is then cured in a curing furnace to form high-temperature rock wool boards. The rock wool boards fresh from the curing furnace are extremely hot (typically exceeding 200°C) and must undergo effective cooling before subsequent processes such as cutting and packaging.
[0003] Existing rock wool cooling methods are mostly natural cooling or single air cooling. Natural cooling is inefficient, occupies a large area, and seriously restricts production efficiency. Although single air cooling improves efficiency, for thicker rock wool boards, it is easy to cause the surface to cool too quickly while the inside cools too slowly, resulting in deformation and warping of the product due to uneven cooling, affecting the dimensional stability and mechanical properties of the product. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To overcome the problems of low efficiency, large footprint, and severe restriction on production efficiency caused by natural cooling in the prior art, and although single air cooling improves efficiency, it is prone to causing excessively rapid surface cooling and slow internal cooling for thicker rock wool boards. This uneven cooling leads to deformation and warping of the product, affecting its dimensional stability and mechanical properties. Therefore, this utility model provides a cooling device for rock wool production.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: A cooling device for rock wool production mainly includes a frame 1, a cooling chamber 2, a rock wool conveying device 3, a cold water tank 4, an atomizing spray device 5, and an air-cooling system 6. The cooling chamber 2 is installed on the frame 1, and through holes 21 are provided at both ends of the cooling chamber 2 for rock wool and the rock wool conveying device 3 to pass through. The rock wool conveying device 3 is installed inside the cooling chamber 2, and the cold water tank 4 is installed at the bottom of the cooling chamber 2. The rock wool conveying device 3 adopts a high-temperature resistant metal mesh belt conveyor. The atomizing spray device 5 includes a water pump 51, a water supply pipe 52, a water supply branch pipe 53, and atomizing nozzles 54. The water supply branch pipes 53 are evenly installed horizontally on the cooling chamber 1. Inside the cooling chamber 2, water supply branch pipes 53 are located on the upper and lower sides of the rock wool conveying device 3. Atomizing nozzles 54 are evenly installed on the water supply branch pipes 53. The water supply branch pipes 53 are connected to the cold water tank 4 through water supply pipes 52 and water pumps 51. The air-cooling system 6 includes a centrifugal fan 61, an air inlet pipe 62, an air distribution branch pipe 63, an air outlet pipe 64, and an induced draft fan 65. The air distribution branch pipes 63 are evenly installed horizontally inside the cooling chamber 2. The air distribution branch pipes 63 are located below the rock wool conveying device 3. Air outlet holes are evenly provided on the air distribution branch pipes 63. The air distribution branch pipes 63 are all connected to the air inlet pipe 62. The centrifugal fan 61 is installed on the air inlet pipe 62. The air outlet pipe 64 is installed on the top of the cooling chamber 2. The induced draft fan 65 is installed on the air outlet pipe 64.
[0006] Furthermore, a connecting window is provided between the cooling chamber 2 and the cold water tank 4, and a water filter plate 41 is installed on the connecting window.
[0007] Furthermore, the top of the cooling chamber 2 is a conical shroud 22 for easy air extraction, and the air outlet pipe 64 is connected to the top of the conical shroud 22.
[0008] Furthermore, a sliding groove 23 is installed upright on both sides of the through hole 21, and a gate plate 24 is slidably inserted in the sliding groove 23. A freely rotatable pressure roller 25 is installed at the bottom of the gate plate 24.
[0009] Furthermore, support rollers 26 are evenly installed on the cooling chamber 2, and the support rollers 26 are supported at the bottom of the rock wool conveying device 3.
[0010] Furthermore, the air outlet duct 64 is connected to the waste heat recovery system of the plant area.
[0011] Furthermore, the air inlet pipe 62 is connected to the air cooler 66.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: This invention combines air cooling and water cooling (evaporative cooling) to greatly shorten the cooling time of the rock wool board. Both the top and bottom surfaces of the rock wool are cooled, effectively balancing the cooling rates of the upper and lower surfaces, avoiding deformation and internal stress caused by excessively rapid cooling on one side, and significantly improving the flatness and quality of the product.

The water is atomized by nozzle 54 and sprayed onto the upper and lower surfaces of the rock wool board, utilizing the principle of water evaporation and heat absorption for efficient cooling. The air-cooling system 6 includes a centrifugal fan 61, an air inlet pipe 62, air distribution branch pipes 63, an air outlet pipe 64, and an induced draft fan 65. The air distribution branch pipes 63 are horizontally and evenly installed in the cooling chamber 2, located below the rock wool conveying device 3.

A freely rotating pressure roller 25 is installed at the bottom of the gate plate 24. The bottom of the gate plate 24 is supported on the rock wool by the pressure roller 25. The gate plate 24 makes the cooling chamber 2 relatively sealed, further improving the cooling effect.
[0021] The cooling chamber 2 is uniformly equipped with support rollers 26, which support the bottom of the rock wool conveying device 3 to prevent the rock wool conveying device 3 from sagging under the action of rock wool and its gravity.
