Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of cable manufacturing, and in particular relates to a cable cooling device. Background Technology

[0002] Cables, as the physical carriers of electrical power transmission and information communication, are the cornerstone of modern industry and the information society. Their technological development has a long history, dating back to the early 19th-century telegraph era. At that time, only simple single copper wires wrapped in natural materials were used. The core of cable technology at this stage lay in the conductivity of the conductor and basic insulation protection. In the 21st century, the widespread application of polymer materials has revolutionized the insulation performance, weather resistance, flame retardancy, and service life of cables, gradually replacing traditional oil-impregnated paper and rubber. Cables are now produced by extruding composite materials such as polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene, or cross-linked polyethylene onto the copper wire. However, during the cable production process, the extruded cable outer shell needs to be cooled and solidified to protect the inner copper wire. During water cooling, the cooling time needs to be flexibly adjusted according to different conditions due to the influence of the cable outer shell material, the initial temperature of the cable, and the production rhythm. Traditional cooling tanks can only allow the cable to cool for a fixed period, resulting in low cooling efficiency and a limited cooling range. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, the present invention aims to provide a cable cooling device to solve the problem that traditional cooling pools only allow cables to be cooled for a fixed period of time and cannot flexibly provide different cooling durations for cables.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows: A cable cooling device includes a base, a cooling pool, an inlet component, and an outlet component. The base is disposed on one side of the discharge end of an upstream extrusion device. The cooling pool is slidably connected to the upper end of the base. An inlet component is disposed at one end of the cooling pool near the extrusion device, and an outlet component is disposed at the other end of the cooling pool. The outlet component can be close to or away from the inlet component. The cooling pool contains water. The inlet component is used to guide the cable into the cooling pool, and the outlet component is used to export the cable from the cooling pool and control the immersion time of the cable. A winding device is disposed downstream of the outlet component, and the winding device provides tension for the cable to travel within the cooling device.

[0005] Furthermore, multiple first rollers are rotatably arranged inside the cooling pool, and the multiple first rollers are arranged parallel to each other. The periphery of each first roller is rolledly connected to the lower surface of the cable.

[0006] Furthermore, the export component includes a bracket, a slider, and a second roller. The bracket is set above the water source, and a slider is fixedly installed on each side of the bracket. Both sides of the cooling pool are provided with grooves. The outer periphery of each slider is slidably connected to a groove, and the relative position of the slider and the cooling pool can be fixed by threaded nails. Multiple second rollers are rotatably set inside the bracket. The multiple second rollers are arranged parallel to each other, and the outer periphery of each second roller is slidably connected to the outer periphery of the cable.

[0007] Furthermore, the export component also includes a fan, which is fixedly mounted on the bracket with the fan's outlet facing the cable.

[0008] Furthermore, the inlet assembly includes a third roller, a fourth roller, and a rotating motor. The third roller is rotatably mounted on the outside of the cooling pool, and the fourth roller is rotatably mounted inside the cooling pool. The fourth roller is located above the first roller at the starting end. The outer periphery of the third roller is rolled to the lower surface of the cable, and the outer periphery of the fourth roller is rolled to the upper surface of the cable. The fourth roller is used to guide the cable into the water below the surface. The rotating motor is fixedly mounted outside the cooling pool, and the output end of the rotating motor is fixedly connected to one end of the fourth roller.

[0009] Furthermore, an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe are respectively installed on one side of the cooling pool, with the inlet pipe positioned lower than the outlet pipe. One end of the inlet pipe is connected to a water source, and one end of the outlet pipe is connected to a sewage pipe.

[0010] Furthermore, multiple slide rails are fixedly installed around the upper end of the base. The slide rails are arranged parallel to each other, and a slide platform is slidably connected in each slide rail. The upper end of each slide platform is fixedly installed at the lower end of the cooling pool.

[0011] Furthermore, a toothed belt is fixedly installed at the lower end of the cooling pool, with a gear meshing on one side of the toothed belt. The gear is fixedly sleeved in the middle of the shaft, and the shaft is rotatably mounted on the upper end of the base through bearings. A handwheel is fixedly installed at each end of the shaft.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the cable cooling device of this utility model has the following advantages: (1) The cable cooling device of the present invention has a sliding design that allows the output component to move closer to or further away from the input component, which flexibly adjusts the immersion path length of the cable in the cooling pool, flexibly adapts to the cooling time requirements of different cables, enhances the cooling effect of the cable, and enhances the versatility of the cooling device.

[0013] (2) The cable cooling device of the present invention has an inlet component that is initially supported and guided by the third roller shaft, which effectively avoids the positional deviation of the cable before it enters the cooling pool. The fourth roller shaft ensures that the cable can stably enter the water source of the cooling pool and ensures the uniformity of cooling. The upper and lower corresponding structure of the fourth roller shaft and the first roller shaft at the starting end further improves the clamping stability when the cable is introduced.

[0014] (3) The cable cooling device described in this utility model has an adjustment structure composed of slide rail and shaft, which is easy to operate and can be adjusted without disassembling the device. It is convenient to manually pull the cable to the outside of each roller shaft when producing the first batch of cables. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0021] like Figure 1As shown, a cable cooling device includes a base 1, a cooling pool 2, an inlet component 3, and an outlet component 4. The base 1 is positioned on one side of the discharge end of an upstream extrusion device. The cooling pool 2 is slidably connected to the upper end of the base 1. The inlet component 3 is positioned at one end of the cooling pool 2 near the extrusion device, and the outlet component 4 is positioned at the other end of the cooling pool 2. The outlet component 4 can be positioned near or away from the inlet component 3. The cooling pool 2 contains water. The inlet component 3 is used to guide the cable 5 into the cooling pool 2, and the outlet component 4 is used to outlet the cable 5 from the cooling pool 2 and control the immersion time of the cable 5. A winding device is positioned downstream of the outlet component 4. The winding device is a conventional winch, model C. EP-6000-10M: When the controller is turned on, it controls the winch to rewind the cable 5, providing tension for the cable 5 to travel within the cooling device. Multiple first rollers 21 are rotatably arranged within the cooling pool 2, with each first roller 21 having a rolling connection to the lower surface of the cable 5. The cable 5 moves within the cooling pool 2, driven by the rotation of the first rollers 21. The sliding design of the guide component 4, which can move closer to or further away from the guide component 3, allows for flexible adjustment of the immersion path length of the cable 5 within the cooling pool 2, adapting to the cooling time requirements of different cables 5, enhancing the cooling effect of the cable 5, and increasing the versatility of the cooling device.

[0022] like Figure 2 As shown, the export component 4 includes a bracket 41, a slider 42, and a second roller 43. The bracket 41 is set above the water source. A slider 42 is fixedly installed on each side of the bracket 41. The cooling pool 2 has grooves on both sides. The outer periphery of each slider 42 can be slidably connected to a groove. The relative position of the slider 42 and the cooling pool 2 can be fixed by threaded nails. Multiple second rollers 43 are rotatably arranged inside the bracket 41. The multiple second rollers 43 are arranged parallel to each other. The outer periphery of each second roller 43 is slidably connected to the outer periphery of the cable 5. The export component 4 also includes a fan 45. The fan 45 is fixedly installed on the top of the bracket 41. The air outlet of the fan 45 faces the cable 5. The fan 45 is existing technology. The model of the fan 45 is KL-HVLS-D6BAA73. Under the tension of the winding device, cable 5 travels from above the first roller in the cooling pool 2 to the outlet assembly 4. The outlet assembly 4, through the sliding engagement of sliders 42 on both sides of the bracket 41 with the sliding grooves on both sides of the cooling pool 2, can adjust its position according to the cooling requirements of cables of different specifications. When the sliders 42 slide along the grooves, they drive the bracket 41 and the second roller 43 inside the bracket to move closer to or away from the inlet assembly 3, thereby changing the immersion path length of the cable in the cooling pool 2. After the cable 5 contacts the second roller 43, multiple parallel second rollers 43 cooperate with the first roller 21 below to form a clamping support for the cable, ensuring that the cable is stably exited from the cooling pool 2. The fan 45 above the bracket 41 starts, and its air outlet is directed towards the cable 5, which has just been removed from the cooling water source, to blow and dry the residual moisture on the surface of the cable 5. Finally, the cooled and dried cable is transported to the downstream winding device. The export component 4 achieves position adjustment through the sliding structure of the slider 42 and the chute, which can flexibly control the immersion time of the cable 5 and adapt to the cooling process requirements of cables 5 of different materials and diameters. It solves the problems of fixed immersion time and poor versatility of traditional cooling devices. The fan 45 added above the bracket 41 can remove residual moisture on the surface of the cable 5 in time, and prevent moisture from being brought into the subsequent winding process, which would cause the cable 5 to become damp or affect the winding quality. At the same time, it helps to improve the shaping effect of the cable 5 after cooling, and improves the efficiency of the cable 5 cooling process and the quality of the finished product.

[0023] like Figure 3As shown, the inlet assembly 3 includes a third roller 31, a fourth roller 32, and a rotary motor 33. The third roller 31 is rotatably mounted on the outside of the cooling pool 2, and the fourth roller 32 is rotatably mounted inside the cooling pool 2. The fourth roller 32 is located above the first roller 21 at the starting end. The outer periphery of the third roller 31 is rolled to the lower surface of the cable 5, and the outer periphery of the fourth roller 32 is rolled to the upper surface of the cable 5. The fourth roller 32 is used to guide the cable 5 into the water. The rotary motor 33 is fixedly installed outside the cooling pool 2, and the output end of the rotary motor 33 is fixedly connected to one end of the fourth roller 32. The rotary motor 33 is existing technology, and its model is 49TYD-500-1. When the controller is turned on, the cable 5 processed by the upstream extrusion device is first conveyed to the inlet assembly 3. The third roller 31 on the outside of the cooling pool 2 first rolls into contact with the lower surface of the cable 5, providing initial support and guidance for the cable 5, preventing the cable 5 from sagging or deviating before entering the cooling pool 2. Subsequently, the cable 5 continues to travel to... Inside the cooling pool 2, the fourth roller shaft 32 comes into contact. At this time, the rotating motor 33, which is fixedly installed outside the cooling pool 2, starts. Its output end drives the fourth roller shaft 32 to rotate. The fourth roller shaft 32 cooperates with the first roller shaft 21 below. Through the rolling friction between the roller shaft and the surface of the cable 5, the cable 5 is stably pressed into the water source below the cooling pool 2, ensuring that the cable 5 is completely immersed in the water to begin cooling. Finally, the cable 5 smoothly enters the middle of the cooling pool 2 along the direction of the first roller shaft 21 to continue cooling. The guide component 3, through the initial support and guidance of the third roller shaft 31, effectively avoids the positional deviation of the cable 5 before entering the cooling pool 2. The cooperative design of the fourth roller shaft 32 and the rotating motor 33, with the help of rotational power, solves the problem that the cable 5 is easy to float and cannot be fully immersed in the water surface under the traditional passive guide method, ensuring that the cable 5 can stably enter the water source of the cooling pool 2 and ensuring cooling uniformity. The upper and lower corresponding structure of the fourth roller shaft 32 and the first roller shaft 21 at the starting end further improves the clamping stability of the cable 5 during the guide.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, an inlet pipe 23 and an outlet pipe 22 are respectively installed on one side of the cooling pool 2, and the position of the inlet pipe 23 is lower than that of the outlet pipe 22. One end of the inlet pipe 23 is connected to the water source, and one end of the outlet pipe 22 is connected to the sewage pipe. The water in the cooling pool 2 is replaced through the lower inlet pipe, thereby enhancing the water circulation efficiency in the cooling pool.

[0025] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, multiple slide rails 11 are fixedly installed around the upper end of the base 1. The slide rails 11 are arranged parallel to each other. A slide table 12 is slidably connected in each slide rail 11. The upper end of each slide table 12 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the cooling pool 2. A toothed belt 13 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the cooling pool 2. A gear 14 meshes with one side of the toothed belt 13. The gear 14 is fixedly sleeved in the middle of the shaft 15. The shaft 15 is rotatably installed on the upper end of the base 1 through the bearing 16. A handwheel 17 is fixedly installed at each end of the shaft 15. When producing the first batch of cables 5, in order to facilitate the first batch of manual pulling of the cable 5 to wrap around the outer perimeter of each roller, it is necessary to adjust the relative position of the cooling pool 2 and the upstream extrusion device to facilitate manual operation. The operator rotates the shaft. The handwheels 17 at both ends of the shaft 15 drive the shaft 15 to rotate around the bearing 16 at the upper end of the base 1. The gear 14 fixedly sleeved in the middle of the shaft 15 rotates synchronously with the shaft 15. The gear 14 meshes with the toothed belt 13 fixed at the lower end of the cooling pool 2. The rotation of the gear 14 drives the toothed belt 13 to move the cooling pool 2 as a whole. At this time, the slide table 12 at the lower end of the cooling pool 2 slides synchronously in the slide rail 11 fixed around the upper end of the base 1, completing the position adjustment. The adjustment structure composed of the slide rail 11 and the shaft 15 is easy to operate. The position adjustment can be completed without disassembling the device, which improves the installation adaptability and usage flexibility of the overall device. It is convenient to manually pull the cable 5 to the outside of each roller shaft when producing the first batch of cables.

[0026] The working process of a cable cooling device: When producing the first batch of cables 5, the cable 5 is manually wound around the outer perimeter of each roller shaft by pulling the strip. The relative position of the cooling pool 2 and the upstream extrusion device is adjusted, and the relative position of the bracket 41 and the cooling pool 2 is adjusted by the slider 42. After the cable 5 is wound, the cable 5 after being discharged from the upstream extrusion device first contacts the third roller shaft 31 of the guide component 3. After being supported and guided by it, the cable 5 is pressed into the water of the cooling pool 2 by the cooperation of the fourth roller shaft 32 driven by the rotating motor 33 and the first roller shaft 21 at the starting end. The cable 5 travels along the first roller shaft 21 in the cooling pool 2 for cooling. When it reaches the exit component 4, the cable 5 is exited by the second roller shaft 43 in the bracket 41. At the same time, the fan 45 on the bracket 41 blows away the moisture on the surface of the cable 5, and finally enters the downstream winding device.

[0027] The control method in this embodiment is controlled by a controller. The controller circuit can be implemented by simple programming by those skilled in the art. The power supply is also common knowledge in the art. Furthermore, this document is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, and the control method and circuit connection will not be explained in detail here.

[0028] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
