Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aluminum profile processing technology, specifically to an environmentally friendly water-cooling device for aluminum profile processing. Background Technology

[0002] Aluminum profiles are profile products made from aluminum alloy as the base material through processes such as extrusion and cutting. They are characterized by low density, high strength adaptability, corrosion resistance, and ease of processing, and are widely used in building curtain walls, rail transit car frames, industrial equipment supports, and appliance housings. In the aluminum profile production process, extrusion forming is the core process. After forming, the aluminum profiles need to undergo subsequent steps such as cooling, straightening, and surface treatment to meet the performance and appearance requirements of different applications.

[0003] After aluminum profiles are extruded, their surface and internal temperatures are typically as high as 300-500℃. If they are directly introduced into subsequent processing stages, they are prone to deformation and internal instability due to excessively high temperatures. Therefore, they need to be cooled down quickly using a cooling device. Cooling water tanks are the mainstream cooling equipment in aluminum profile processing. Their working principle is as follows: cooling water is transported to the tank through the inlet pipe, allowing the high-temperature aluminum profile to come into direct or indirect contact with the cooling water in the tank. At the same time, the return water outlet is used to achieve the circulation and replenishment of cooling water, so that the temperature of the aluminum profile drops to a suitable range in a short time, ensuring the processing accuracy of subsequent straightening and cutting processes, as well as the final mechanical properties of the aluminum profile.

[0004] In practical applications of existing cooling water tanks for aluminum profile processing, when changing molds to produce aluminum profiles with different cross-sectional specifications, the height of the support rollers in the water tank needs to be adjusted simultaneously. The support rollers need to be in contact with the bottom of the new aluminum profile to provide support and prevent the profile from bumping or being suspended. However, the support rollers are usually distributed at equal intervals along the length of the water tank. The traditional adjustment method requires measuring and positioning each support roller individually with measuring tools. The operation steps are repetitive and cumbersome, and it is difficult to quickly adjust all support rollers to a uniform height, which seriously affects the efficiency of production changeover. Utility Model Content

[0005] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an environmentally friendly water-cooling device for aluminum profile processing, so as to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an environmentally friendly water-cooling device for aluminum profile processing, comprising a cooling water tank, wherein multiple guide frames are equidistantly distributed at the bottom of the cooling water tank, and multiple supports penetrate the outer surface and back of the multiple guide frames, which are divided into two groups. Multiple support rods are connected between the two groups of supports, and each of the multiple support rods is fitted with a nut and a support bearing, and each of the multiple support bearings is fitted with a support roller. Slots are opened on one side of the interior of each of the two groups of supports, and insert plates penetrate the top of each of the multiple slots. Positioning plates are fixed to the top of each of the multiple insert plates, and bolts connect the multiple positioning plates to the multiple supports.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the guide frame can provide a stable support and sliding foundation for the bracket. The bracket connects to the support rod, and the sleeve relationship between the support bearing and the support roller provides support for the conveying of aluminum profiles and reduces friction. At the same time, the use of slots, inserts and bolts enables the detachable connection between the positioning plate and the bracket, providing a structural basis for subsequent adjustment of the support roller height and local maintenance, and ensuring that all components of the device work together to adapt to the processing needs of aluminum profiles.

[0008] Furthermore, both the bracket and the positioning plate are slidably connected to the guide frame.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the support can slide smoothly up and down along the guide frame, providing a moving path for the height adjustment of the support roller. At the same time, the positioning plate can slide synchronously with the support, ensuring that the positioning plate can form a stable contact relationship with the preceding support during subsequent adjustment, reducing the offset when the support slides and ensuring the accuracy of height adjustment.

[0010] Furthermore, the support roller is rotatably connected to the support rod via a support bearing.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the support roller can rotate flexibly under the traction of the aluminum profile, reducing the frictional resistance between the bottom of the aluminum profile and the support roller. At the same time, the support bearing isolates the direct rotational transmission between the support roller and the support rod, reducing the situation where the rotation of the support roller drives the rotation of the support rod, thereby reducing the probability of the nut loosening due to the rotation of the support rod.

[0012] Furthermore, the multiple nuts are threaded to both ends of the multiple support rods respectively, and the multiple support rods are detachably connected to the two sets of brackets through the multiple nuts.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, loosening the nut can release the clamping state of the bracket, making it easier for the bracket to slide along the guide frame to adjust the height; tightening the nut can make the bracket fit tightly against the outer wall of the guide frame and the end face of the nut, realizing the limit of the bracket and reducing the displacement of the bracket after adjustment; at the same time, removing the nut can separate the support rod from the bracket, providing convenience for the disassembly and replacement of the support roller, and avoiding complicated maintenance operations caused by connection fixation.

[0014] Furthermore, the bottom of the positioning plate abuts against one side of the top of the bracket.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, when adjusting the height of subsequent supports, it is not necessary to measure each support individually with a measuring tool. Simply slide the next support until its top abuts against the bottom of the previous positioning plate to quickly determine the height of the next support. This effectively reduces measurement steps and improves the efficiency of adjusting the height of multiple support rollers uniformly.

[0016] Furthermore, the positioning plate is detachably connected to one side of the bracket via bolts, inserts, and slots.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, when it is necessary to maintain the support roller in the middle area, only the bolts need to be unscrewed and the insert plate needs to be removed to disassemble the corresponding positioning plate separately, without having to disassemble all the front supports, thus reducing the complexity of maintenance operations; at the same time, depending on the actual space requirements, the positioning plate can be left uninstalled on the end support to avoid the positioning plate protruding and occupying extra space, thereby improving the flexibility of the device layout.

[0018] Furthermore, the cooling water tank has return water inlets connected to both sides of its outer surface, and an inlet pipe connected inside the cooling water tank, with an inlet connected to the outer surface of the inlet pipe.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, cooling water can be delivered into the cooling water tank through the water inlet and water inlet pipe to provide a cooling medium for the high-temperature aluminum profile after extrusion. At the same time, the cooling water can be recycled and replenished through the return water inlet to ensure a stable supply of cooling water, meet the continuous cooling needs of the aluminum profile, and ensure that the temperature of the aluminum profile drops to a range suitable for subsequent processing, which is energy-saving and environmentally friendly.

[0020] Furthermore, four reinforcing ribs are installed on both sides inside the multiple guide frames.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the structural strength of the guide frame can be enhanced, and the bending deformation of the guide frame towards the support roller can be reduced when the nut is tightened to clamp the bracket.

[0022] Furthermore, the support rod, nut, and bolt are all made of 316L stainless steel, and the support bearing is a PEEK bearing.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solutions, 316L stainless steel can improve the oxidation and corrosion resistance of support rods, nuts and bolts, reduce component corrosion caused by long-term contact with cooling water, and extend service life; PEEK bearings have good lubrication effect and can withstand the high temperature and humidity of the cooling water environment, reduce bearing wear, and ensure the flexibility of support roller rotation.

[0024] Furthermore, the bracket, positioning plate, and insert plate are all made of 6061-T6 aluminum alloy, and the support roller is made of GF reinforced PA9T.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solutions, the 6061-T6 aluminum alloy material reduces the density of components and achieves lightweighting while ensuring the structural strength of the bracket, positioning plate and insert plate; the GF reinforced PA9T material has high structural strength, high temperature resistance and water resistance, and low density, further optimizing the overall lightweighting of the device, reducing the load on the bracket and support rod when the nuts are tightened, thereby reducing the occurrence of bracket downward movement and ensuring the stability of the device in the long-term underwater environment.

[0026] In summary, the present invention has the following main advantages: 1. This utility model, through the setting of brackets and positioning plates, allows for easy adjustment of the support roller height. Only the appropriate height of the first set of brackets needs to be determined using a measuring tool. The positioning plate will move along with the brackets. Therefore, when adjusting other brackets, it is only necessary to slide the next set of brackets along the guide frame until the top side of the next set of brackets abuts against the bottom of the previous set of positioning plates to complete the positioning of the next set of brackets. There is no need to measure the height of each bracket individually with a measuring tool, which effectively reduces the operation steps of adjusting the support roller height, facilitates the quick adjustment of multiple support rollers to a uniform height, and improves the adjustment efficiency during production changeover. 2. With the use of bolts, insert plates, and slots, this utility model allows for easy disassembly of the positioning plate by simply unscrewing the bolts of the corresponding positioning plate and removing the insert plate from the slot when the support roller in the middle area needs maintenance. This eliminates the need to disassemble all the supports in front due to the obstruction of multiple positioning plates, reducing the operational costs of positioning plate disassembly and subsequent support roller maintenance. Furthermore, for the support located at the end, positioning plates can be omitted to avoid the end positioning plate protruding and occupying extra space, thus improving the flexibility of the device layout. 3. This utility model, through the arrangement of a guide frame, support rod, bracket, and nut, provides stable guidance for the up-and-down sliding of the bracket, ensuring that the bracket is not easily deviated during adjustment. When adjusting the height of the support roller, loosening the nut releases the clamping of the bracket, allowing the bracket to slide smoothly along the guide frame to adjust the height. After the height is determined, tightening the nut causes the end face of the nut to press against the outer wall of the bracket, and the bracket to fit tightly against the outer wall of the guide frame, thereby achieving clamping and limiting of the bracket and reducing the probability of displacement after adjustment. When it is necessary to disassemble the support roller, removing the nut allows the bracket to be separated from the guide frame and the support rod, thereby achieving the separation of the support roller from the support rod and the support bearing, simplifying the disassembly process of the support roller and reducing the operational complexity of maintenance or replacement of the support roller.

[0029] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0030] The embodiments of this utility model will be described below based on its overall structure.

[0031] Example 1: An environmentally friendly water-cooling device for aluminum profile processing, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the system includes a cooling water tank 1. Multiple guide frames 5 are evenly distributed at the bottom of the cooling water tank 1. Multiple supports 7 penetrate the outer surface and back of the guide frames 5, forming two groups. Multiple support rods 8 connect the two groups of supports 7. Nuts 9 and support bearings 10 are fitted onto the outside of each support rod 8. Nuts 9 are threaded to both ends of each support rod 8. The support rods 8 are detachably connected to the two groups of supports 7 via nuts 9. Support rollers 6 are fitted onto the outside of each support bearing 10, and the support rollers 6 are rotatably connected to the support rods 8 via the support bearings 10. Slots 14 are opened on one side of each group of supports 7. Insert plates 13 penetrate the top of each slot 14. Positioning plates 11 are fixed to the top of each insert plate 13. The bottom of the positioning plates 11 abuts against the top side of the support 7. The support 7 and positioning plates 11 are slidably connected to the guide frames 5. Bolts 12 connect the positioning plates 11 to the supports 7. The positioning plates 11 are detachably connected to the inside side of the support 7 via bolts 12, insert plates 13, and slots 14. When needed... When changing molds to produce aluminum profiles of different specifications, and adjusting the height of the support rollers 6 to adapt to the new profiles, the workers first loosen the nuts 9 at both ends of the support rod 8 to release the clamping state of the nuts 9 on the bracket 7, allowing the bracket 7 to slide smoothly up and down along the outer wall of the guide frame 5. As the bracket 7 slides, it drives the positioning plate 11 to slide up and down synchronously. When adjusting the height of the first set of brackets 7, the workers determine its suitable height using measuring tools. Then, the workers retighten the nuts 9 so that the bracket 7 is pressed tightly against the outer wall of the guide frame 5 and the end face of the nuts 9, thus limiting the position of the first set of brackets 7 and reducing the possibility of displacement after adjustment. When adjusting other brackets 7, the workers do not need to measure them separately with measuring tools. They only need to slide the next set of brackets 7 along the guide frame 5 until the top side of the bracket 7 abuts against the bottom of the positioning plate 11 of the previous set. This completes the height positioning of the next set of brackets 7. Then, the corresponding nuts 9 are tightened to achieve the limit, thereby quickly adjusting multiple support rollers 6 to a uniform height and reducing the cumbersome and time-consuming adjustment operations.

[0032] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the above embodiment, the cooling water tank 1 has return water inlets 4 connected to both sides of its outer surface, and the cooling water tank 1 has an inlet pipe 2 connected inside. The inlet pipe 2 has an inlet 3 connected to its outer surface. After the aluminum profile is extruded, it is transported by the extrusion equipment and the traction machine. During this process, the aluminum profile passes through the cooling water tank 1. The external cooling water system injects cooling water into the cooling water tank 1 through the inlet 3 and the inlet pipe 2. At the same time, the return water inlets 4 on the outer surface of the tank are used to complete the circulation and recycling of the cooling water, reducing water waste and saving energy and protecting the environment. The high-temperature aluminum profile is in full contact with the cooling water and gradually cools down, meeting the temperature adaptation requirements of the aluminum profile for subsequent processing.

[0033] Example 2: Based on the above embodiment one, the following settings are now adopted to increase structural strength.

[0034] See Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 In the above embodiment, four reinforcing ribs 15 are installed on both sides of the interior of the multiple guide frames 5. The guide frames 5 are reinforced by the reinforcing ribs 15 to reduce the bending deformation of the guide frames 5 towards the support rollers 6 when the nut 9 is tightened to clamp the bracket 7.

[0035] Example 3: Based on the above embodiment one, the following settings are now made for ease of use.

[0036] See Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 In the above embodiments, the support rod 8, nut 9, and bolt 12 are all made of 316L stainless steel, which has high strength and is resistant to oxidation, reducing the occurrence of rust. The support bearing 10 is a PEEK bearing, which improves the lubrication effect of the bearing and has high temperature resistance and water resistance. The bracket 7, positioning plate 11, and insert plate 13 are all made of 6061-T6 aluminum alloy, which reduces the density of components while ensuring structural strength. The support roller 6 is made of GF reinforced PA9T, which not only meets the requirements of support strength, high temperature resistance, and water resistance of the support roller 6 for the aluminum profile, but also reduces its density. The lightweight design reduces the load on the bracket 7 and support rod 8 when the nut 9 is locked, further reducing the possibility of the bracket 7 shifting downwards and ensuring the stable operation of the device in the underwater environment for a long time.

[0037] The implementation principle of this utility model is as follows: First, after the aluminum profile is extruded, it is transported by the extrusion equipment and the traction machine. During this process, the aluminum profile passes through the cooling water tank 1. The external cooling water channel injects cooling water into the cooling water tank 1 through the water inlet 3 and the water inlet pipe 2. At the same time, the return water inlet 4 on the outer surface of the water tank is used to complete the circulation and recycling of cooling water, reducing water waste and saving energy and protecting the environment. The high-temperature aluminum profile is in full contact with the cooling water and gradually cools down to meet the temperature adaptation requirements of the aluminum profile in subsequent processing. In this process, the support rod 8 is used as the support base of the support roller 6, so that the support roller 6 contacts the bottom of the aluminum profile. This provides conveying support for the aluminum profile and isolates the direct rotational association between the support roller 6 and the support rod 8 through the support bearing 10, reducing the situation where the rotation of the support roller 6 drives the rotation of the support rod 8, thereby reducing the probability of the nut 9 loosening due to the rotation of the support rod 8. When it is necessary to change the mold to produce aluminum profiles of different specifications, and the height of the support roller 6 needs to be adjusted to adapt to the new material, the staff first loosens the nuts 9 at both ends of the support rod 8 to release the clamping state of the nuts 9 on the bracket 7, so that the bracket 7 can slide smoothly up and down along the outer wall of the guide frame 5. While the bracket 7 is sliding, the positioning plate 11 slides up and down synchronously. When adjusting the height of the first set of brackets 7, the staff determines its suitable height with a measuring tool. Then the staff retightens the nuts 9 so that the bracket 7 is pressed by the nuts 9 and fits tightly against the outer wall of the guide frame 5 and the end face of the nuts 9, thereby limiting the position of the first set of brackets 7 and reducing the possibility of displacement after adjustment. When adjusting the subsequent brackets 7, the staff does not need to measure them separately with a measuring tool. They only need to slide the next set of brackets 7 along the guide frame 5 until the top side of the bracket 7 abuts against the bottom of the positioning plate 11 of the previous set. This completes the height positioning of the next set of brackets 7. Then the corresponding nuts 9 are tightened to achieve the limit, thereby quickly adjusting multiple support rollers 6 to a uniform height and reducing the cumbersomeness and time consumption of the adjustment operation. When maintenance or replacement of the support roller 6 in the middle area is required, the positioning plate 11 connected to the previous set of brackets 7 will obstruct the upward sliding of the next set of brackets 7. At this time, the operator can unscrew the bolt 12 of the corresponding positioning plate 11 and remove the insert plate 13 from the slot 14 to separate the positioning plate 11 from the bracket 7. It is not necessary to disassemble all the front brackets 7. By simply removing the positioning plate 11 that obstructs the sliding of the next set of brackets 7, the next set of brackets 7 can slide smoothly upward along the guide frame 5, freeing up operating space for the maintenance or replacement of the support roller 6. At the same time, for the bracket 7 located at the end of the cooling water tank 1, the positioning plate 11 can be omitted according to the actual space requirements to avoid the end positioning plate 11 protruding and occupying extra space, thus improving the flexibility of the device layout. When the support roller 6 needs to be disassembled as a whole, the staff first removes the nuts 9 at both ends of the corresponding support rod 8 to release the limit of the nuts 9 on the bracket 7. Then the staff slides the bracket 7 upward along the guide frame 5 until it is completely separated from the guide frame 5. Then the bracket 7 is separated from the support rod 8. Finally, the support roller 6 and the support bearing 10 are removed from the support rod 8 to complete the disassembly operation of the support roller 6, simplifying the maintenance or replacement process of the support roller 6. Furthermore, to improve the stability of the guide frame 5, it is reinforced with reinforcing ribs 15 to reduce bending deformation of the guide frame 5 towards the support roller 6 when the nut 9 is tightened to clamp the bracket 7. Meanwhile, in terms of component materials, the support rod 8, nut 9, and bolt 12 are made of stainless steel to reduce the probability of oxidation and corrosion from long-term contact with cooling water; the support bearing 10 is made of PEEK to improve lubrication and enhance its high-temperature and water resistance; the bracket 7, positioning plate 11, and insert plate 13 are made of 6061-T6 aluminum alloy to reduce component density while ensuring structural strength; the support roller 6 is made of GF-reinforced PA9T material, which meets the requirements for support strength, high-temperature and water resistance of the aluminum profile while reducing its density. This lightweight design reduces the load on the bracket 7 and support rod 8 when the nut 9 is tightened, further reducing the possibility of the bracket 7 shifting downwards and ensuring the stable operation of the device in the underwater environment for a long time.
