Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of precious metal processing technology, and in particular to a precious metal cooling device. Background Technology

[0002] In the processing of precious metals (such as gold), it is usually necessary to first melt the precious metal. The molten metal is at a very high temperature, so it needs to be cooled before subsequent processing operations. However, existing cooling methods mostly rely on natural heat dissipation, which has low heat dissipation efficiency and requires a long time to complete, severely impacting processing efficiency. Furthermore, after cooling, the metal usually needs to be transferred to another location for use in subsequent processes. However, in existing technologies, the transfer process relies on manual labor, which is not conducive to automated production and also limits the improvement of processing efficiency. Therefore, it is necessary to improve existing technologies. How to accelerate the heat dissipation of precious metals and automatically transfer them to other processing locations after cooling is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

The chamber assembly includes a receiving member with a receiving space and an opening communicating with the receiving space. The support assembly includes a support member disposed above a conveyor belt. The receiving member is disposed above the support member. The support member has a first working position and a second working position. When the support member is in the first working position, the support member blocks the opening, and the receiving space of the receiving member and the support member enclose a cooling chamber for temporarily storing precious metals. When the support member is in the second working position, the support member does not block the opening, and the precious metals in the receiving space fall through the opening onto the conveyor belt. A cooling mechanism is used to cool the precious metal temporarily stored in the cooling chamber by blowing air or / and supplying water when the support is in the first working position.

[0005] Furthermore, The receiving component includes a feeding end and a discharging end opposite to the feeding end. The receiving space is disposed between the feeding end and the feeding end.

When in the second working position, the support member releases the seal on the opening, and the precious metal falls through the opening onto the conveyor belt under the action of gravity. When the support member is in the first working position, the cooling mechanism continuously blows air into the cooling chamber to form forced convection, which quickly removes the heat from the precious metal and significantly shortens the cooling time. The drive assembly drives the conveyor belt to run and automatically transports the cooled precious metal to the next station, realizing a seamless connection between cooling and transfer, reducing manual intervention, and improving the processing efficiency of precious metals.

[0019] Please see Figure 1-4As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, a precious metal cooling device includes a conveying mechanism 10, a cooling chamber mechanism 20, and a cooling mechanism 30. The conveying mechanism 10 includes a conveyor belt 11 and a driving assembly 12 for driving the conveyor belt 11. In this embodiment, the driving assembly 12 includes a drive motor. The conveyor belt 11 is simultaneously mounted on a driving wheel and a driven wheel. The drive motor is directly connected to the driving wheel and drives the driving wheel to rotate, thereby driving the conveyor belt 11 to move. In other embodiments, the driving assembly 12 can also be a linear motor or a linear module. The linear motor directly pulls the conveyor belt to move. The specific driving assembly 12 can be selected according to the actual situation. The cooling chamber mechanism 20 includes a cavity assembly 21 and a supporting assembly 22. The cavity assembly 21 includes a receiving member 210. The receiving member 210 includes a receiving space 2102 and a component connected to the receiving space 2102. The support assembly 22 includes a support member 220, which is disposed above the conveyor belt 11. The receiving member 210 is disposed above the support member 220. The support member 220 has a first working position and a second working position. When the support member 220 is in the first working position, it blocks the opening 2104. The receiving space 2102 of the receiving member 210 and the support member 220 form a cooling chamber for temporarily storing precious metals. When the support member 220 is in the second working position, it does not block the opening 2104. The precious metals fall from the receiving space 2102 through the opening 2104 onto the conveyor belt 11. The cooling mechanism 30 cools the precious metals temporarily stored in the cooling chamber by blowing air when the support member 220 is in the first working position.

[0020] To facilitate understanding, further explanation is provided: When the precious metal cooling device is in its initial state, the support member 220 is in the second working position, and the support member 220 does not block the opening 2104. When cooling of the precious metal is required, the support member 220 switches to the first working position, and the support member 220 blocks the opening 2104. The receiving space 2102 of the receiving member 210 and the support member 220 form a cooling chamber. The cooling mechanism 30 blows air to cool the precious metal entering the cooling chamber (in this embodiment, the waiting...). Cooled precious metal can enter the receiving space 2102 of the receiving member 210 through the opening 2104, so that the precious metal can be cooled down quickly. After the precious metal is cooled, the support member 220 switches back to the second working position. The support member 220 does not block the opening 2104. The cooled precious metal falls through the opening 2104 onto the conveyor belt 11. The conveyor belt 11 automatically transports the cooled precious metal to the next station. Thus, the cooling and transportation are completed, realizing a seamless connection from cooling to transfer, reducing manual intervention and improving the processing efficiency of precious metals.
