AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Under high-temperature conditions, the cooling medium undergoes violent vaporization in a localized area of ​​the mandrel's inner cavity, forming a bubble accumulation zone, also known as a vapor resistance zone. This reduces the flow area of ​​the liquid cooling medium, increases flow resistance, and prevents it from fully contacting the inner wall of the mandrel. Consequently, the phase change heat transfer process is hindered, and the accumulation of heat leads to uncontrolled temperature in the mandrel.

Method used

It adopts a hollow top head with an exhaust mechanism, and has baffles and blades inside. The rotation of the blades breaks the bubble accumulation state in the vapor resistance zone, forming a gas-liquid two-phase flow, reducing the amount of gas retention. The expansion gap and high-pressure vortex zone force the cooling medium to flow, ensuring a stable gas-liquid two-phase flow and quickly removing the vapor resistance zone.

Benefits of technology

It effectively reduces the duration of the vapor resistance zone, improves the flow rate of the cooling medium and the heat exchange efficiency, avoids runaway temperature at the top, and extends the equipment life.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of seamless steel pipe production, and particularly relates to an automatic steel billet piercing equipment. BACKGROUND

[0002] As a key basic material in the industrial field, the production core process of the seamless steel pipe is the hot rolling method, which realizes the efficient conversion of the solid pipe billet into a large-diameter hollow steel pipe through an automatic pipe rolling mill. The process takes the ingot or solid pipe billet as the raw material, is pre-processed through cutting, centering and the like, is heated to the plastic deformation temperature interval of 1000°C-1300°C, and is completed through the cooperative action of the roller and the plug. In this process, the plug, as the core tool directly contacting the high-temperature steel billet, needs to simultaneously withstand the rolling pressure and the severe friction heat, and the thermal stability of the plug directly affects the steel pipe forming quality and the equipment life;

[0003] To cope with the overheating problem of the plug, the current industrial practice generally adopts a hollow plug structure, which is internally integrated with a spiral or axial water channel to build a closed cooling circulation system. The design realizes efficient heat exchange through the phase change heat transfer (liquid state to gaseous state) of the liquid cooling medium, effectively reduces the temperature of the working end of the plug, delays the thermal cracking and plastic deformation, and prolongs the service life.

[0004] However, in actual production, under high-temperature working conditions, the cooling medium is severely vaporized in the local area of the inner cavity of the plug, forming a bubble accumulation area, i.e., a vapor resistance area. The gas compression of this area causes the flow area of the liquid cooling medium to decrease, the flow resistance to significantly increase, and the liquid medium to be unable to fully contact the inner wall of the plug, thereby blocking the phase change heat transfer process. The heat accumulation causes the temperature of the plug to get out of control, and long-term overheating easily accelerates the performance degradation of the plug material, increases the risk of thermal cracking, and shortens the replacement cycle.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0058] To solve the problem that under high temperature working condition, the cooling medium is severely vaporized in the local area of the inner cavity of the plug, forming a gas bubble gathering area, i.e. a vapor resistance area, the gas compression of the area causes the flow area of the liquid cooling medium to decrease, the flow resistance significantly increases, the liquid medium cannot fully contact the inner wall of the plug, the phase change heat transfer process is blocked, and the heat accumulation causes the temperature of the plug to be out of control, the application provides an automatic billet piercing device, as shown in Figure 1 Figure 15

[0059] The piercing machine body 11 drives the billet 12 to move in a spiral trajectory, the piercing machine body 11 is provided with a plug mechanism 20, the plug mechanism 20 comprises a fixedly installed base 21, the base 21 is fixedly installed with a hollow plug 23 through a cooling channel 22, the hollow plug 23 is bitten into the billet 12 and advances with the movement of the billet 12, so that the billet 12 is hollowed;

[0060] To reduce the temperature of the working end of the hollow plug 23, as shown in Figures 2-6

[0061] Further, as shown in Figure 3 Figure 6 To enable the cooling medium in the cooling channel 22 and the hollow plug 23 to form a circulation, the exhaust mechanism 30 further comprises a perfusion channel 31 and an exhaust channel 32 which are opened in the inside of the cooling channel 22, and the two ends of the blocking plate 34 through which the cooling medium enters and exits correspond to the positions of the perfusion channel 31 and the exhaust channel 32;

[0062] The two sides of the cooling channel 22 are respectively provided with a first negative pressure pump 24 and a second negative pressure pump 25, the output ends of the first negative pressure pump 24 and the second negative pressure pump 25 are respectively connected with the perfusion channel 31 and the exhaust channel 32, the cooling medium is injected into the cooling channel 22 through the first negative pressure pump 24, the cooling medium flows into the hollow plug 23 through the perfusion channel 31 and one end of the blocking plate 34, exchanges heat with the hollow plug 23, and then flows to the second negative pressure pump 25 through the other end of the blocking plate 34 and the first negative pressure pump 24 and is discharged from the cooling channel 22.

[0063] To reduce the amount of gas retained in the inner cavity of the hollow plug 23 and avoid the formation of a vapor resistance area in the inside of the hollow plug 23, Figure 4 ​​​​As shown, the middle of the blocking plate 34 is rotatably provided with a connecting shaft 35, and the connecting shaft 35 is circumferentially provided with a blade 36 matched with the inner wall shape of the hollow top head 23. When the blade 36 rotates, it can break the bubble aggregation state in the gas blocking area, mix the gas with the liquid cooling medium to form a gas-liquid two-phase flow, and push the gas to move to the discharge end of the blocking plate 34, thereby reducing the gas retention amount in the inner cavity of the hollow top head 23.

[0064] It should be noted that an expansion gap is reserved between the outer edge of the blade 36 and the inner edge of the hollow top head 23, and the expansion gap is 0.5-1.2mm, and the expansion gap decreases with the increase of the temperature of the hollow top head 23 and the blade 36, and the minimum value of the expansion gap is 0.3-0.5mm, which prevents the gap from being completely occupied after the temperature rises, and the expansion coefficients of the hollow top head 23 and the blade 36 are different. In order to ensure the stability of the hole size, the top head body of the hollow top head 23 adopts a low-expansion coefficient alloy to limit the radial thermal expansion amount at high temperature, and the blade 36 is selected from a material with a medium expansion coefficient to ensure that its thermal expansion amount is greater than the inner cavity of the hollow top head 23,

[0065] When the temperature of the hollow top head 23 rises to a predetermined threshold value due to the generated gas blocking area, the radial expansion amount of the inner cavity of the hollow top head 23 is small, and the blade 36 is caused to expand due to thermal expansion, so that the expansion gap is reduced to 0.3-0.5mm to ensure that the hollow top head 23 and the blade 36 are still in a non-contact state, and the blade 36 does not rub against the inner wall of the hollow top head 23 when rotating at high temperature. Due to the reduced gap, the flow rate of the cooling medium increases, a high-pressure vortex area is generated at the edge of the blade 36, the cooling medium is forced to pass through the gap in a spiral flow pattern, this flow pattern can increase the local turbulent intensity and exert an asymmetric pressure on the gas blocking area, causing it to stretch and break, forming small bubbles after breaking and uniformly dispersing in the liquid cooling medium, forming a stable gas-liquid two-phase flow, thereby achieving the purpose of quickly removing the gas blocking area and reducing the duration of the gas blocking area. When the temperature of the hollow top head 23 decreases, the blade 36 gradually recovers.

[0066] In order to adapt to the billet 12, the length of the cooling channel 22 is generally designed to be longer, which results in a longer moving path of the cooling medium in the cooling channel 22, so that the flow rate of the cooling medium decays greatly during the movement. In order to improve the circulation speed of the cooling medium in the cooling channel 22 and the hollow top head 23, a Figure 3 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the perfusion channel 31 and the discharge channel 32 are provided with a conveying mechanism 40, the conveying mechanism 40 comprises a mounting frame 41 mounted at both ends of the perfusion channel 31 and the discharge channel 32, two through holes 42 for the cooling medium to pass through are formed on the surface of the mounting frame 41, an auxiliary shaft 43 is rotatably arranged at a coaxial position of the two through holes 42 on the mounting frame 41, and the end of the auxiliary shaft 43 is connected with a spiral flow channel 44 arranged in the perfusion channel 31 and the discharge channel 32. After the cooling medium is injected into the cooling channel 22 by the first negative pressure pump 24, it enters the perfusion channel 31 through the through hole 42. At this time, by rotating the spiral flow channel 44, the spiral flow channel 44 changes the flow pattern of the cooling medium in the perfusion channel 31, so that the cooling medium produces rotary motion, thereby achieving the purpose of improving the flow rate of the cooling medium and increasing the heat exchange efficiency.

[0067] Further, in order to enable the blade 36 and the spiral flow channel 44 to rotate, as shown in Figure 6 and Figure 8 The main shaft 33 is rotatably arranged between the perfusion channel 31 and the discharge channel 32 and is connected with the connecting shaft 35, and the conveying mechanism 40 further comprises a driving gear 45 rotatably arranged in the cooling channel 22, the driving gear 45 is sleeved and mounted on the main shaft 33 and is engaged with a driven gear 46 sleeved and mounted on the auxiliary shaft 43.

[0068] As shown in Figure 9 The intersection of the cooling channel 22, the first negative pressure pump 24 and the second negative pressure pump 25 is provided with a driving mechanism 50, the driving mechanism 50 comprises a fixed frame 51 fixedly installed inside the cooling channel 22, a impeller 52 connected with the main shaft 33 is rotatably embedded in the fixed frame 51, the impeller 52 is arranged at a position corresponding to the first negative pressure pump 24, and the cooling medium enters the cooling channel 22 through the first negative pressure pump 24 and impacts the impeller 52 to rotate. Under the drive of the impeller 52, the main shaft 33 drives the blade 36 to rotate through the connecting shaft 35 to remove the steam resistance area, and at the same time, the main shaft 33 drives the four auxiliary shafts 43 to rotate through the driving gear 45, so that the auxiliary shafts 43 drive the spiral flow channels 44 to rotate in the perfusion channel 31 and the discharge channel 32 to accelerate the flow speed of the cooling medium.

[0069] It should be noted that, as shown in Figure 9 The fixed frame 51 is provided with a partition plate 53 close to the second negative pressure pump 25, and a space for the cooling medium to pass through and enter the second negative pressure pump 25 is reserved between the discharge channel 32 and the partition plate 53. By arranging the partition plate 53, the cooling medium is prevented from directly reaching the second negative pressure pump 25 through the fixed frame 51 and the impeller 52.

[0070] When the cooling medium used is a high-viscosity liquid that cannot impact the impeller 52 to rotate it, and the impeller 52 speed is not ideal, the cooling medium conveying speed is slow, and additional power source input is needed to accelerate, the speed increasing mechanism 60 is installed inside the base 21, the speed increasing mechanism 60 includes a positioning shaft 61 arranged at the end of the main shaft 33 and penetrating into the base 21, the positioning shaft 61 is provided with a clamping portion 62, the positioning shaft 61 is provided with a servo motor 63, the output end of the servo motor 63 is provided with a sliding portion 64, and the surface of the sliding portion 64 is slidingly nested with a clamping plate ring 65 matched with the clamping portion 62;

[0071] By sliding the clamping plate ring 65, the clamping plate ring 65 is sleeved on the clamping portion 62 under the limitation of the sliding portion 64, and the clamping plate ring 65 is embedded with the clamping portion 62 under the guidance of the clamping portion 62, at this time, by starting the servo motor 63, the servo motor 63 drives the clamping portion 62 to rotate through the sliding portion 64 and the clamping plate ring 65, the clamping portion 62 drives the main shaft 33 to rotate actively, thereby achieving the purpose of driving the blade 36 and the spiral flow channel 44 to rotate through an additional power source, and improving the emergency operation scheme of the equipment.

[0072] Further, the clamping plate ring 65 is rotatably sleeved on the surface of the clamping plate ring 65, the two ends of the clamping plate ring 65 are respectively provided with a sleeve ring 66, the end of the sleeve ring 66 is provided with a through rod 68 through a connecting frame 67, and the two through rods 68 are connected with a pushing portion 69 slidingly arranged on the base 21, the pushing portion 69 is slidingly provided with a positioning pin 612, and the surface of the base 21 is provided with a through groove 610 for the through rod 68 to penetrate and slide, and two positioning holes 611 for the positioning pin 612 to penetrate;

[0073] When it is necessary to adjust the position of the clamping plate ring 65, the positioning pin 612 is pulled out, so that the positioning pin 612 no longer cooperates with the positioning hole 611 to limit the position of the pushing portion 69, and then the pushing portion 69 is pushed, so that the pushing portion 69 drives the through rod 68 to slide under the limitation of the through groove 610, and the through rod 68 drives the clamping plate ring 65 to slide on the sliding portion 64 through the connecting frame 67 and the sleeve ring 66, thereby achieving the purpose of directly controlling the position of the clamping plate ring 65 on the base 21.

[0075] The piercing machine body 11 drives the steel billet 12 to move in a spiral trajectory, and the hollow plug 23 moves with the steel billet 12 to bite into and advance, so as to hollow the steel billet 12;

[0076] The first negative pressure pump 24 injects the cooling medium into the cooling channel 22, enters the hollow plug 23 through the perfusion channel 31 and one end of the barrier plate 34, and flows to the second negative pressure pump 25 from the other end of the barrier plate 34 after heat exchange;

[0077] The middle part of the blocking plate 34 is provided with a connecting shaft 35, and the connecting shaft 35 is provided with blades 36. The rotation can break the bubble gathering in the steam blocking area, form the gas-liquid two-phase flow, push the gas to be discharged, and the cooling medium impacts the impeller 52 to rotate, drive the main shaft 33 and the connecting shaft 35, and make the blades 36 rotate to remove the steam blocking area.

[0078] The perfusion channel 31 and the discharge channel 32 are provided with a conveying mechanism 40, which comprises a mounting frame 41, a through hole 42, an auxiliary shaft 43 and a spiral flow channel 44. The rotation of the spiral flow channel 44 changes the flow pattern of the cooling medium, improves the flow rate, and drives the spiral flow channel 44 to rotate through the driving gear 45 and the driven gear 46.

[0079] When the cooling medium is a high-viscosity liquid or the rotation speed of the impeller 52 is not ideal and the conveying is slow, the sliding clamping ring 65 is sleeved on the clamping part 62 and is embedded. The servo motor 63 is started, the main shaft 33 is driven to rotate through the sliding part 64, the clamping ring 65 and the clamping part 62, the position of the clamping ring 65 is adjusted, the positioning pin 612 is pulled out, the pushing part 69 is pushed, the through rod 68 and the clamping ring 65 are driven to slide, and after being positioned, the positioning pin 612 is inserted to be fixed.
