Detailed Implementation

[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0020] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, a cooling device for optical cable production includes a cooling water tank 1 and a wiping roller 8. The upper two ends of the cooling water tank 1 are provided with corresponding opening slots. Fixed frames are provided on both sides of the upper part of the opening slots. A first conveyor roller 3 is rotatably connected to one fixed frame, and a second conveyor roller 6 is rotatably connected to the other fixed frame. An upper guide rod 4 and a lower guide rod 16 are rotatably connected inside the cooling water tank 1. Multiple upper and lower guide rods 4 and 16 are provided. A limit fitting seat 5 is correspondingly installed on each upper and lower guide rod 4 and 16. A blade 17 is installed on the outer surface of the limit fitting seat 5. A side support frame 7 is installed on the cooling water tank 1 outside the second conveyor roller 6. A wiping roller 8 is installed on the side support frame 7. A water collection tank 9 is provided below the wiping roller 8. A guide plate 14 is provided between the water collection tank 9 and the cooling water tank 1. The wiping roller 8 is used to wipe water droplets from the surface of the optical cable.

[0021] The guide plate 14 is inclined, and a guide groove 15 is provided on the guide surface of the guide plate 14. Multiple sets of guide plates 14 and guide grooves 15 are arranged to facilitate the flow of liquid into the water collection tank 9.

[0022] An operation box 13 is installed on the outside of the cooling water tank 1. A liquid outlet pipe 20 is provided at one end of the cooling water tank 1 near the water collection tank 9. A drain pipe 21 is provided in the water collection tank 9. The liquid outlet pipe 20 and the drain pipe 21 are connected to the filter box 10. A control valve is provided on both the liquid outlet pipe 20 and the drain pipe 21 to control the flow of the pipes.

[0023] The outlet of the filter box 10 is connected to the inlet of the water pump 11. The outlet of the water pump 11 is connected to the cooling mechanism 12 through a pipe. The outlet of the cooling mechanism 12 is connected to the inlet 2 of the cooling water tank 1 through a pipe, which is used to supply cooling water to the cooling water tank 1.

[0024] The water inlet 2 is located above the liquid surface in the cooling water tank 1, the upper guide rod 4 is located above the liquid surface in the cooling water tank 1, and the lower guide rod 16 is located below the liquid surface in the cooling water tank 1. During the cooling process of the optical cable, the coolant repeatedly enters and exits, and the water is repeatedly evaporated and dissipated.

[0025] The cooling water tank 1 is equipped with a liquid level sensor 19 and a temperature sensor 18 to monitor the water volume and temperature in the cooling water tank 1.

[0026] The upper guide rod 4 and the lower guide rod 16 are respectively provided with telescopic grooves 23 at their ends. A telescopic rod 22 is installed in the telescopic groove 23. The end of the telescopic rod 22 is connected to the bottom of the telescopic groove 23 by a spring 24, which facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the upper guide rod 4 and the lower guide rod 16.

[0027] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: Example 1: The optical cable is supplied to the cooling water tank 1 via the first conveyor roller 3, passes through the adjacent lower guide rod 16 and upper guide rod 4 in sequence, and is fed between two adjacent wiping rollers 8 via the second conveyor roller 6. The outer side of the wiping roller 8 is provided with absorbent cotton. When the optical cable passes between two adjacent wiping rollers 8, the absorbent cotton on the wiping roller 8 can wrap around the outside of the optical cable to wipe and absorb the water droplets brought out by the outer surface of the optical cable. The water droplets falling during the wiping process fall into the water collection tank 9. A guide plate 14 is provided between the cooling water tank 1 and the water collection tank 9. The guide plate 14 has a guide groove 15 to facilitate the effective collection and treatment of water droplets brought out by the cable. Under the action of the external traction equipment, the cable conveying will drive the upper guide rod 4 and the lower guide rod 16 to rotate relative to the cooling water tank 1. The upper guide rod 4 and the lower guide rod 16 are both telescopic structures, which facilitates installation, disassembly, maintenance and replacement. The optical cable is submerged in the cooling water tank 1, where it can be cooled by water. As the optical cable is transported, it is carried out of the liquid during the upward movement. The surface of the optical cable is covered with water droplets. The rotation of the blades 17 on the outer side of the limiting seat 5 on the upper guide rod 4 accelerates the airflow, creating a wind-cooling effect. This accelerates the evaporation of water on the surface of the optical cable, and the evaporation process carries away heat. The optical cable is repeatedly submerged in the liquid for water cooling and then lifted out of the liquid for evaporation cooling, effectively dissipating heat from the surface of the optical cable. The limiting seat 5 has a matching groove, which can effectively limit the optical cable and prevent it from crossing and tangling. This allows multiple cables to be cooled at once, improving production efficiency. Example 2: The cooling water tank 1 is equipped with a temperature sensor 18 to detect the temperature inside the cooling water tank 1. When the temperature of the cooling liquid is higher than the set temperature, the water pump 11 works and the control valve on the outlet pipe 20 opens to draw out the liquid from the cooling water tank 1. After being filtered by the filter box 10 to remove impurities, the liquid is supplied to the cooling mechanism 12 for cooling and cooling treatment. The cooling mechanism 12 adopts existing technology. The cooled liquid circulates back to the cooling water tank 1 through the inlet 2. The blades 17 on the lower guide rod 16 rotate to accelerate the uniform mixing of the cooling water, which is beneficial to the overall cooling of the cooling water. The liquid level sensor 19 can detect the amount of cooling water and make it easy to replenish it in time. The operation box 13 is equipped with an MCU microcontroller unit and a control circuit board, both of which adopt existing technology. The upper guide rod 4 and lower guide rod 16 of this utility model are provided with limiting mating seats 5, which can realize the synchronous cooling treatment of multiple cables. Blades 17 are installed on the outside of the limiting mating seats 5, which can drive the blades 17 to rotate synchronously during the rotation of the guide rods. The blades 17 on the lower guide rod 16 can agitate the liquid in the cooling water tank 1, and the blades 17 on the upper guide rod 4 can accelerate the rapid evaporation of water brought out by the cable surface exposed above the water surface. The evaporation process carries away heat. The output end of the cooling water tank 1 is provided with a wiping roller 8, which can wipe away the water droplets brought out by the cable surface and reduce the impact of the water droplets on subsequent processes.

[0028] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model.
