Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to a simple steel belt cooler using one steel belt and one cooling roller.

[Conventional technology]

As a method of continuously cooling high viscosity or low fluidity substances such as chemicals, foods, industrial raw materials, paints, etc., the above materials are rolled substantially uniformly on an endless steel belt, and the back side of this steel belt is A belt type chiller has been proposed that cools to achieve desired cooling.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

However, in order to uniformly roll and feed the material onto this steel belt, a feeder is installed above the belt, and it is rolled to the required thickness between two opposing rolling rollers under the feeder and fed onto the steel belt. Roller rolling type
There is a press roller type in which a material supplied from a feeder is sandwiched and rolled by a press roller from above and below the steel belt.

Therefore, a rolling means for rolling the material is required in addition to the steel belt, and the structure becomes complicated.

The present invention has been made in view of this.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

It consists of an endless steel belt stretched between two opposing pulleys, and a cooling roller on the forward side of this steel belt and in contact with one of the two pulleys. The gist of the invention is to equip the cooling device with the cooling device and to press the steel belt outward path with a cooling roller to increase the contact area between the steel belt and the cooling roller.

[Action]

Since the cooling roller is pressed by one pulley side on the outward path side of the one endless steel belt, the contact area between the steel belt and the cooling roller is increased,
Even if the structure is simple, it is possible to surely cool the feed material with rolling, and it is possible to perform continuous and efficient material cooling.

〔Example〕

Next, the steel belt of the present invention will be described based on the illustrated embodiment.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 is a steel belt made of stainless steel or the like having a required width and length, and the steel belts having a required developed length are used by connecting them endlessly. This steel belt 1 has two pulleys 2 and 3 arranged to face each other, and is stretched between the pulleys 2 and 3, and one of the two pulleys 2 and 3 on which this steel belt is stretched is low. It is assumed that the other is raised so that the steel belt 1 is inclined, or both pulleys 2 and 3 are installed at the same height so as to be horizontal. In the illustrated embodiment, the pulley 2
Is high and the pulley 3 is low. An endless scraper 4 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the pulley 3 so as to contact the surface of the steel belt 1 so that the material cooled on the steel belt is scraped and discharged into the hopper 5. The pulley 2 is supported by a bearing 6 that is adjustable under the frame, and when the steel belt 1 is loosened, the bearing 6 is moved to move the steel belt 1.
To always obtain a predetermined tension. Further, the pulley 2 is driven by the driving device 7 so that the steel belt 1 is driven at a variable speed as needed. Further, a cooling roller 8 also serving as a rolling roller is arranged on the surface of the steel belt 1, and the cooling roller 8 is also supported by a bearing 9 movably provided under the frame. By adjusting the pressing force of the cooling roller against the steel belt, the thickness of the material supplied on the steel belt can be adjusted. Then, cooling water or a coolant is circulated in the cooling roller 8 to cool it.

As a mechanism for circulating cooling water or the like in the roller, a device mechanism or the like which has been conventionally used is used, and therefore detailed description thereof will be omitted.

In order to cool the material with the steel belt cooler configured as described above, when the material is supplied from the position above the intermediate position between the pulley 2 and the cooling roller 8 shown by the arrow in FIG. The feed material is rolled between the cooling roller and the steel belt on the outer peripheral surface of the pulley 2 which are in close proximity to each other, and is sequentially conveyed on the steel belt by driving the steel belt. At this time, the cooling roller 8 may be forcibly driven so as to be equal to the peripheral speed of the steel belt, but it is pressed against the steel belt through the material and is driven and cooled. The material does not adhere. The back side of the steel belt can also be cooled.

The material cooled and conveyed by the driving of the steel belt is scraped off by the scraper 4 provided on the pulley 3 side and discharged into the hopper 5. In this way, the material is successively and continuously cooled as desired.

If necessary, it is possible to heat the material by circulating hot water or the like in the cooling roller 8 instead of the cooling water.

[Effect of device]

The steel belt cooler of the present invention has a structure in which one cooling roller is brought into contact with one endless steel belt on one pulley side on which the steel belt is stretched and the cooling roller is cooled. There is an advantage that the material can be cooled continuously and effectively with a simple device.
