Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of valve stem nut processing, and particularly discloses a processing device for a forged steel valve stem nut and a preparation process thereof. Background Art

[0002] Forged steel valves are primarily used in pipelines in various systems of thermal power plants to shut off or connect media. Compared to other valves, forged steel valves are distinguished by their high temperature and high pressure characteristics, along with a unique self-sealing design. The higher the pressure, the more reliable the seal. These unique performance, technical characteristics, and specialized operating conditions make these valves uniquely suited to other products. Currently, the stem nuts of traditional forged steel valves are mostly formed using a hot forging process. This high temperature creates a surface oxygen layer, resulting in an uneven surface and a decarburized layer. This increases the blank's size and compromises performance stability. Currently, some nut processing has been shifted from hot forging to cold heading. Cold heading eliminates the need for heating, resulting in a spheroidized pearlite + ferrite microstructure. The tempered bainite obtained through quenching and tempering heat treatment has minimal grain size variation and consistent product consistency within a batch. However, due to limitations in existing cold heading machines for nuts, mass production is impractical, and the stem nuts produced have consistently exhibited quality issues.

[0003] For example, patent application number 2012105920909 discloses a cold forging device for pipe nuts and its cold forging process. The device includes a cutting mechanism, a feeding mechanism, a conveying mechanism, and six dies. The feeding mechanism corresponds to the position of the cutting mechanism, and the conveying mechanism moves the material between the feeding mechanism and the dies. The dies include a first die for pre-forging chamfers, a second die for forming the rod diameter, a third die for pre-forging the hexagonal shape of the head, a fourth and fifth die for back-extruding the inner hole and simultaneously fine-forging the hexagonal shape of the head, and a sixth die for forming the through hole. The six dies are arranged in sequence. This invention eliminates the need for expensive hexagonal bar stock as raw material, saving production costs. The workpiece is directly formed in the die, simplifying the process. However, a large amount of heat is generated during the cold forging process of valve stem nuts. Existing cold forging devices for pipe nuts cannot timely cool the workpiece during the cold forging process, resulting in heat still being generated on the surface of the nut workpiece. When the nut workpiece is exposed to air at high temperatures, a surface oxygen layer is easily formed, resulting in poor quality of the produced valve stem nut. Therefore, in response to the shortcomings of the existing hot forging process for valve stem nuts and the existing cold heading device for pipe nuts when processing workpieces, the present invention proposes a processing device and a preparation process for forged steel valve stem nuts that can effectively solve the above-mentioned technical problems, so as to solve the above-mentioned technical problems of the existing hot forging process for valve stem nuts and the existing cold heading device for pipe nuts when processing workpieces.

[0023] Beneficial effects:

[0024] 1) This invention replaces the traditional hot forging process with a cold heading process. After six cold heading processes, the resulting valve stem nut has a smooth surface, free of oxidation and decarburization. The cold heading process also minimizes geometric dimensional deviations, facilitating consistent batch production. It also minimizes internal metallographic structure deviations, facilitating subsequent tempering heat treatment and enhancing controllability of the product's mechanical properties.

[0025] 2) The processing device for forged steel valve stem nuts designed in the present invention utilizes the up and down movement of the upper die base and the lower die base during operation, and can immerse the entire cold heading process in the coolant, so that the heat generated by the workpiece due to cold heading can be fully dissipated. At the same time, the presence of the coolant can isolate the workpiece from the air during the cold heading process, avoiding oxidation of the workpiece during the cold heading process and ensuring product quality.

[0026] 3) The present invention also further improves the design of the processing device. During the downward movement of the lower die base, the air in the piston cylinder is injected into the elastic expansion body, so that the volume of the elastic expansion body becomes larger. Then, under the action of the elastic expansion body, the liquid level in the cold heading box can be raised, so that the product is fully immersed in the coolant during the entire cold heading process; at the same time, the liquid level sensor and temperature sensor provided can perform real-time dynamic monitoring of the coolant in the cold heading box. Once an abnormality occurs, the control module will promptly issue a control instruction for adjustment to ensure stable operation of the valve stem nut during the cold heading process, so that the valve stem nut can be continuously cold headed, which greatly ensures the processing efficiency of the product.

[0046] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts should fall within the scope of protection of this application.

[0047] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other. Figures 1 to 10 , and describes the application in detail with reference to embodiments.

[0048] Example 1

[0049] Example 1 discloses a process for preparing a forged steel valve stem nut, which mainly includes five steps: material preparation, cold heading, modulated heat treatment, nitriding treatment, and QPQ treatment. The specific steps are as follows:

[0050] Step 1: Select qualified 1CR13 stainless steel wire material, and require the surface of the raw material to be free of any defects.

[0051] Step 2: The stainless steel wire coil is first cut into fixed lengths, and then passed through six sets of dies for cold heading to obtain semi-finished products.

[0052] Step 3: First heat to 1000℃ and keep warm for 2h, then take out of the furnace and oil quench; after quenching, heat to 680℃ and keep warm for 4h, then air cool.

[0053] Step 4: Treat the product according to the nitriding process in the heat treatment manual. Place the product in a vacuum and heat it to 400℃ and keep it at a constant temperature for 1 hour. Then put it into the liquid nitriding furnace and heat it to 560℃ and keep it at that temperature for 12 hours. Then take it out of the furnace and cool it with water.

[0054] Step 5: Perform QPQ treatment on the finished valve stem nut after nitriding, air-dry and oil-dry before storage.

[0055] The preparation process of the forged steel valve stem nut disclosed in this embodiment 1 changes the traditional hot forging process to a cold heading process. After the raw material undergoes six cold heading processes, the surface of the prepared valve stem nut product is smooth, free of oxidation and decarburization. At the same time, the geometric dimension deviation is small, which is conducive to the consistency control of batch products. The internal metallographic structure deviation of the product is small, which is conducive to the later tempering heat treatment. The mechanical properties of the product (hardness, tensile strength, guaranteed load) are more controllable. The hardness of the blank has no dispersion, which is conducive to the later processing process and makes the product surface roughness better.

Then, during the cold heading process, the second hydraulic device 406 is controlled to shorten, so that the cold heading process is carried out in the coolant 100, thereby quickly dissipating heat from the workpiece during the cold heading process.

[0059] To ensure the stability of the upper die base 401 and the lower die base 402 during their upward and downward movement, guide blocks 4021 are provided on the front and rear sides of the lower die base 402.

[0061] In addition, a drive device 304 is provided on the guide bar 301 to achieve directional movement of the movable bar 302. Specifically, the drive device 304 includes a drive motor 3041 fixed to the upper end of the guide bar 301. The output shaft of the drive motor 3041 is connected to a drive gear 3042. The upper surface of the movable bar 302 is provided with a rack 3043 that meshes with the drive gear 3042. By controlling the forward and reverse rotation of the drive motor 3041, and then the meshing transmission of the drive gear 3042 and the rack 3043, the movable bar 302 can be moved back and forth, thereby achieving fixed-point transportation of the workpiece after the cold end.

[0064] Example 3

[0065] Example 3 discloses a technical solution for dynamically monitoring the coolant in the cold heading machine box 1 and timely replenishing and adjusting it based on Example 2. The similarities between it and Example 2 are not described again. The differences can be found in the attached Figure 3 , Attachment Figure 4 , Attachment Figure 9 and attached Figure 10 .

[0066] In this embodiment 3, a vertically arranged piston cylinder 601 is also fixed on the bottom wall of the cold heading machine case 1. Specifically, the number of piston cylinders 601 can be set to two. An air supply pipe 602 is connected to the lower end of each piston cylinder 601, and an elastic expansion body 603 is connected to the end of the air supply pipe 602. A piston rod 604 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the lower die base 402, and a sealing piston 605 is connected to the lower end of the piston rod 604 and is extended into the piston cylinder 601. During the cold heading process, the downward movement of the lower die base 402 can push the piston rod 604 and the sealing piston 605 downward along the piston cylinder 601, thereby sending the air in the piston cylinder 601 into the elastic expansion body 603, causing the elastic expansion body 603 to expand rapidly, thereby raising the liquid level of the coolant in the cold heading machine case 1 and preventing the liquid level from being too low during the cold heading process.

[0067] In addition, a hydraulic sensor 701 is provided on the lower surface of the cold heading machine case 1, and the liquid level probe 702 at the upper end of the hydraulic sensor 701 is extended into the cold heading machine case 1.

A semiconductor cooler 503 is provided on the bottom wall of the coolant tank 5, and the semiconductor cooler 503 is electrically connected to the output end of the control module.

[0069] The above-mentioned hydraulic sensor 701 monitors the liquid level of the coolant in the cold heading machine box 1 in real time. Once the liquid level is lower than the set value, the control module controls the infusion pump 502 to start, thereby timely replenishing the coolant in the coolant tank 5 into the cold heading machine box 1. At the same time, the temperature sensor 704 also monitors the coolant temperature in the cold heading machine box 1. Once the coolant temperature in the cold heading machine box 1 is too high, the semiconductor refrigerator 503 is promptly controlled to cool the coolant in the coolant tank 5, and then the low-temperature coolant is sent to the cold heading machine box 1 to achieve the effect of regulating the coolant temperature and ensure sufficient heat dissipation during the cold heading process.

[0070] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
