Description

Technical Field

Its application is becoming more and more common. It is currently widely used in aerospace, mechanical processing, automobile manufacturing, foundry, weapons industry, electronics, construction and papermaking industries. The water jet nozzle is the main component in the jet processing process. Its quality and rationality of structure determine the processing quality of the jet, so the influence on it is of great significance.

[0003] At present, the target distance of traditional water jet nozzles used in cutting, grinding and other application scenarios needs to be controlled at 3-6mm. The effective jet target distance is short and is more suitable for situations where the workpiece on the machine tool is stationary. However, in some actual uses, such as grinding rails during movement, the target distance needs to be greater than 10mm, and at the same time, the nozzle sand tube must be prevented from being damaged due to vibration and collision with the workpiece surface.

[0004] There are some public patents that optimize the nozzle structure by introducing self-oscillating jets, cavitation jets, rotating jets, pulse jets and other methods. For example, the invention patent CN108855662A discloses a multi-hole straight-rotating mixed cavitation jet nozzle. The presence of axial through holes on the guide member and the rotating body, the presence of a rotating impeller and the presence of a contracting and expanding horizontal forward jet port combine continuous straight jets, rotating jets and cavitation jets, which can effectively improve the water jet processing quality with low cost.

[0049] The water jet grinding vehicle includes a bogie running on the steel rail to be ground, a frame arranged on the bogie and a body arranged on the frame; the body includes a cab, a first machine room and a second machine room arranged in sequence from front to back; the cab electric control cabinet is used to control the power supply of the grinding vehicle; the grinding vehicle control center, the driver's seat and the cab electric control cabinet are all arranged in the cab. The grinding vehicle power module includes a diesel engine, a generator set, a gearbox, a cooling unit, a power system control cabinet, a battery and a diesel tank; the diesel engine is used to provide power for the grinding vehicle to move forward; the generator set is used to provide continuous power for the grinding vehicle; the gearbox is used to provide different power outputs for the generator set; the cooling unit is used to prevent the power system from overheating; the power system control cabinet is used to control the power system; the battery is used to store electricity; the diesel tank is used to store fuel; the diesel engine, the generator set, the gearbox, the cooling unit and the power system control cabinet are all arranged in the first machine room; the battery and the diesel tank are arranged on the frame.

[0050] In the present invention, the hardening ability of the magnetic fluid is positively correlated with the magnetic induction intensity of the magnetic field generated by the field generator, and the function of the hardening ability of the magnetic fluid and the magnetic field induction intensity is η=k(μ-1)H 2, where η is the magnetic viscosity of the magnetic fluid, the greater the magnetic viscosity, the greater the hardness, k is the proportional coefficient, μ is the relative magnetic permeability of the magnetic fluid, and H is the magnetic field intensity. It can be seen from the above function that the gas injection section 102 of the present invention changes the hardness of the magnetic fluid, thereby changing the thickness of the inner wall of the gas injection section 102 along the axial direction, thereby adjusting the inclination angle of the inner wall along the axial direction, and then adjusting the focusing angle of the airflow to achieve the adjustment of the abrasive injection distance, while reducing the splashing of the abrasive during the polishing and ejection process.

By applying different currents to the coil, the magnetostrictive material undergoes axial expansion and contraction deformation, that is, deformation along the radial direction. Different currents provide magnetic fields of different magnitudes, so that the gas injection section 102 undergoes different deformations. More specifically, in the present application, the thickness of the magnetostrictive material decreases from top to bottom in the axial direction. In this way, the deformation from top to bottom also decreases in sequence, thereby adjusting the tapered angle of the inner wall of the gas injection section 102. Of course, before the nozzle is used, the magnetostrictive material needs to be oriented so that the magnetostrictive material undergoes directional deformation under the action of the magnetic field.
