Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of adjustable nozzles, and more specifically, relates to a continuously adjustable nozzle, equipment and method for high-pressure water jet rail grinding. Background Art

[0002] Rail grinding is an important means of maintenance and repair of railway systems. Grinding can improve the wheel-rail contact relationship and prevent and delay the occurrence of rail diseases such as contact fatigue, wear, and corrugated wear. However, during the repair process of rail repair vehicles, there are disadvantages such as rapid loss, high pollution, and poor versatility. The use of high-pressure water jets to grind rails will not cause thermal damage to the rail surface, nor will it produce slag pollution. However, during the driving and working process of the rail repair vehicle, the degree of damage and surface conditions of different rails vary, and the cleaning position and area requirements of various components on the rails are also different. Therefore, it is very important to develop a system that can accurately control the working position and area by adjusting different nozzle apertures.

[0003] In order to solve the above problems, patent document CNA discloses a flow-adjustable nozzle, which produces relative displacement with the nozzle sleeve when the nozzle core rotates, thereby changing the flow rate of the entire nozzle. When in use, the flow rate of the nozzle can be changed according to actual working conditions to meet working requirements. However, the flow rate can only be changed by rotating the nozzle core, and the nozzle aperture cannot be changed to adapt to the needs of the rail grinding process.

[0004] Patent document CNU discloses a 3D printer nozzle with adjustable nozzle aperture. The nozzle cooperates with a control plate and a guide plate. The relative rotation between the two changes the size of the polygonal side length surrounded by the nozzle surround, thereby achieving adjustable size of the flow area of ​​the printing nozzle. However, the adjustment method is composed of a mechanical structure and cannot achieve continuous adjustment of the structure and shape.

[0005] Patent document CNA discloses a continuously variable nozzle system with an integrated flow meter, which can be used to control parameters such as fluid pressure and discharge volume rate, but it can only be applied to low-flow sprayers and cannot be used in abrasive water jet grinding systems with higher flow rates.

[0057] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. In addition, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0058] The present invention provides a continuously adjustable nozzle 11 for high-pressure water jet rail grinding, which is used for a high-pressure water pipe. The continuously adjustable nozzle 11 for high-pressure water jet rail grinding comprises a nozzle body 111, a field generator 112 and a magnetic fluid 113.

[0059] The nozzle body 111 has an inlet section 1111 and an outlet section 1112, wherein the inlet section 1111 is used for the inflow of high-pressure water flow, and the outlet section 1112 is used for the outflow of high-pressure water flow. A water flow channel 1113 is formed between the inlet section 1111 and the outlet section 1112, and the outlet section 1112 is provided with a magnetic fluid cavity 1111a, which can be deformed. Specifically, the magnetic fluid cavity 1111a adopts a membrane bag structure and is in a rectangular shape. The magnetic fluid cavity 1111a is made of flexible material, preferably, polyvinylidene fluoride-CO-hexafluoropropylene (PVDF-HFP).

[0060] The field generator 112 is disposed in the water outlet section 1112 , and the field generator 112 can generate a continuously adjustable magnetic field.

[0061] The magnetic fluid 113 is arranged in the magnetic fluid chamber 1111a. The hardness of the magnetic fluid 113 can change with the change of the magnetic field strength of the magnetic field generated by the field generator 112. That is to say, the continuously adjustable nozzle 11 for high-pressure water jet rail grinding of the present invention generates a continuously adjustable magnetic field by changing the field generator 112 to change the hardness of the magnetic fluid 113, and then form a high-hardness magnetic fluid 113 in the water outlet section 1112 to block the passage of high-pressure water flow, thereby realizing the continuous adjustment of the caliber of the water outlet section 1112 of the continuously adjustable nozzle 11 for high-pressure water jet rail grinding.

[0062] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the magnetic fluid 113 is solid magnetic particles. It can be understood that compared with liquid magnetic fluid, the solid magnetic particle type magnetic fluid has a higher structural strength after hardening, and accordingly, it can improve the practicality of the continuously adjustable nozzle 11 for high-pressure water jet rail grinding.

[0063] Furthermore, the hardening ability of the magnetic fluid 113 is positively correlated with the magnetic induction intensity of the magnetic field generated by the field generator 112. The function of the hardening ability of the magnetic fluid 113 and the magnetic field induction intensity is η=k(μ-1)H 2 , where η is the magnetic viscosity of the magnetic fluid 113, the greater the magnetic viscosity, the greater the hardness, k is the proportionality coefficient, μ is the relative magnetic permeability of the magnetic fluid 113, and H is the magnetic field intensity. It can be seen from the above function that the continuously adjustable nozzle 11 of the high-pressure water jet rail grinding of the present invention improves the hardening degree of the magnetic fluid 113 by increasing the magnetic induction intensity of the magnetic field, thereby achieving the formation of a barrier in the water outlet section 1112.

[0064] Furthermore, the field generator 112 includes an electromagnetic coil 1121, which can generate a continuously adjustable magnetic field according to the current density flowing inside. The function of the magnetic induction intensity of the magnetic field excited by the electromagnetic coil 1121 and the current density flowing inside the electromagnetic coil 1121 is: Wherein, S is any closed curve in space, J is the current density in the electromagnetic coil 1121, and L is the boundary of the closed curve. It can be understood that the continuously adjustable nozzle 11 of the high-pressure water jet rail grinding of the present invention changes the current density flowing through the electromagnetic coil 1121, thereby enabling the electromagnetic coil 1121 to produce a continuously adjustable magnetic field. Combining the functional formula, it can be seen that when the current density flowing through the electromagnetic coil 1121 increases, the magnetic induction strength of the magnetic field excited by the electromagnetic coil 1121 becomes stronger, and accordingly, the hardening degree of the magnetic fluid 113 becomes higher.

[0065] Furthermore, the current density flowing through the electromagnetic coil 1121 is positively correlated with the current flowing through the electromagnetic coil 1121, and its function is: I is the current flowing through the electromagnetic coil 1121, π is the pi, and r is the radius of the electromagnetic coil 1121. It can be understood that by changing the magnitude of the current flowing through the electromagnetic coil 1121, the current density in the electromagnetic coil 1121 can be changed to achieve the change in the hardening degree of the magnetic fluid 113. It is worth noting that the continuously adjustable nozzle for high-pressure water jet rail grinding of the present invention is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the hardening degree of the magnetic fluid 113 can be changed by changing the radius of the electromagnetic coil 1121.

[0066] Furthermore, the electromagnetic coil 1121 is arranged in the magnetic fluid cavity 1111a. It can be understood that by arranging the electromagnetic coil 1121 in the magnetic fluid cavity 1111a, on the one hand, since the electromagnetic coil 1121 is closer to the magnetic fluid 113, the magnetic fluid 113 is more susceptible to changes in the magnetic field strength generated by the electromagnetic coil 1121 and hardens to varying degrees, and on the other hand, the closer the distance to the magnetic field, the higher the magnetic field strength of the magnetic field, so when the magnetic fluid 113 and the electromagnetic coil 1121 are placed in the same cavity, when the magnetic field strength of the electromagnetic coil 1121 increases, the hardening degree of the magnetic fluid 113 will be correspondingly harder, so that the practicality and reliability of the continuously adjustable nozzle 11 for high-pressure water jet rail grinding can be significantly improved.

[0067] Furthermore, the current density flowing through the electromagnetic coil 1121 is positively correlated with the current flowing through the electromagnetic coil 1121, and its function is: Wherein J is the current density in the electromagnetic coil 1121, I is the current flowing through the electromagnetic coil 1121, and D is the cross-sectional area of ​​the electromagnetic coil 1121. It can be understood that the continuously adjustable nozzle 11 for high-pressure water jet rail grinding of the present invention changes the intensity of the current flowing through the electromagnetic coil 1121 to change the current density flowing through the electromagnetic coil 1121, thereby changing the magnetic induction strength of the magnetic field excited by the electromagnetic coil 1121, thereby changing the hardening degree of the magnetic fluid 113. It is worth noting that the continuously adjustable nozzle 11 for high-pressure water jet rail grinding of the present invention is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the current density in the electromagnetic coil 1121 can also be changed by changing the cross-sectional area of ​​the electromagnetic coil 1121.

[0068] Furthermore, the electromagnetic coil 1121 is provided with a plurality of electromagnetic coils 1121, and the plurality of electromagnetic coils 1121 are provided at the water outlet section 1112, and currents of different magnitudes can flow through the coil of each electromagnetic coil 1121, so as to form a magnetic fluid 113 of continuous different hardnesses in the water outlet section 1112. That is to say, the continuously adjustable nozzle 11 for high-pressure water jet rail grinding of the present invention controls currents of different magnitudes flowing through the plurality of electromagnetic coils 1121, so as to excite magnetic fields of different magnetic induction intensities, and form magnetic fluids 113 of different hardening degrees near each electromagnetic coil 1121, so as to realize the change of different nozzle types of the continuously adjustable nozzle 11 for high-pressure water jet rail grinding, so as to improve the practicality of the continuously adjustable nozzle 11 for high-pressure water jet rail grinding, and can realize the switching of different nozzle types according to different application environments, meet different use requirements, and enrich the user's choice.

[0069] Further, a plurality of electromagnetic coils 1121 are arranged vertically in the water outlet section 1112, and each electromagnetic coil 1121 is arranged around the water outlet section 1112. It can be understood that such an arrangement can realize that the continuously adjustable nozzle 11 for high-pressure water jet rail grinding can form different nozzle types in the vertical direction of the water outlet section 1112. For example, the continuously adjustable nozzle 11 for high-pressure water jet rail grinding of the present invention provides three different nozzle types for users to choose from, refer to Figure 3 ,refer to Figure 4 ,refer to Figure 5, respectively, expansion type, equal cross-section type and contraction type. In this embodiment, we define the end of the water outlet section 1112 close to the water inlet section 1111 as the upper end, and the end of the water outlet section 1112 away from the water inlet section 1111 as the lower end, and control the current flowing through the electromagnetic coil 1121 at the upper end to be greater than the current flowing through the electromagnetic coil 1121 at the lower end, so that the hardening degree of the magnetic fluid 113 near the upper end is greater than the hardening degree of the magnetic fluid 113 near the lower end, and the expansion type of continuously adjustable nozzle 11 for high-pressure water jet rail grinding can be obtained. Control the current flowing through the electromagnetic coil 1121 at the upper end to be equal to the current flowing through the electromagnetic coil 1121 at the lower end, so that the hardening degree of the magnetic fluid 113 near the upper end is equal to the hardening degree of the magnetic fluid 113 near the lower end, and the equal cross-section type of continuously adjustable nozzle 11 for high-pressure water jet rail grinding can be obtained. Then the current flowing through the electromagnetic coil 1121 at the upper end is controlled to be smaller than the current flowing through the electromagnetic coil 1121 at the lower end. In this way, the hardening degree of the magnetic fluid 113 near the upper end is smaller than the hardening degree of the magnetic fluid 113 near the lower end, and a continuously adjustable nozzle 11 for contraction-type high-pressure water jet rail grinding can be obtained.

[0070] Furthermore, the nozzle is provided with a magnetic fluid inlet and outlet 1114 and a magnetic fluid channel 1115. The magnetic fluid inlet and outlet 1114 is arranged on the periphery of the nozzle body 1111. The magnetic fluid inlet and outlet 1114 is connected to the magnetic fluid cavity 1111a through the magnetic fluid channel 1115. The magnetic fluid 113 can enter or leave the magnetic fluid cavity 1111a through the magnetic fluid inlet and outlet 1114. It can be understood that by setting the magnetic fluid inlet and outlet 1114, the magnetic fluid 113 can be filled into the magnetic fluid cavity 1111a, or the magnetic fluid 113 can be taken out. In actual use, when the continuous adjustable nozzle 11 for high-pressure water jet rail grinding requires a very small caliber, and the magnetic fluid 113 in the magnetic fluid cavity 1111a is not enough, the magnetic fluid 113 can be filled into the magnetic fluid cavity 1111a through the magnetic fluid inlet and outlet 1114. When the continuous adjustable nozzle 11 for high-pressure water jet rail grinding requires a large caliber, and there are a lot of magnetic fluids 113 in the magnetic fluid cavity 1111a, and the magnetic fluids 113 are piled up, the magnetic fluid 113 can be taken out through the magnetic fluid inlet and outlet 1114. In this way, the needs of users can be better met.

[0071] Furthermore, the electromagnetic coil 1121 has a coil connector 1122, and the electromagnetic coil 1121 connector can extend through the magnetic fluid inlet and outlet 1114. It can be understood that the electromagnetic coil 1121 can be connected to the external power supply 186 through the coil connector 1122 to achieve the adjustable current in the electromagnetic coil 1121, and the coil connector 1122 is extended from the magnetic fluid inlet and outlet 1114, so that there is no need for an external electromagnetic coil outlet.

[0072] Furthermore, the continuously adjustable nozzle 11 for high-pressure water jet rail grinding is also provided with an abrasive inlet 1116 , which is arranged on the outer periphery of the nozzle body 111 , and is arranged away from the magnetic fluid inlet and outlet 1114 , and is also connected to the water flow channel 1113 . It can be understood that the function of the abrasive inlet 1116 is to inject abrasive into the continuously adjustable nozzle 11 for high-pressure water jet rail grinding. Due to the addition of abrasive, the kinetic energy of high-pressure water is increased, and the corresponding cutting ability is also improved. At the same time, due to the siphon effect, the abrasive is automatically filled into the water channel 1113. By setting the abrasive inlet 1116 away from the magnetic fluid inlet and outlet 1114, interference between the abrasive adding process and the filling and taking out processes of the magnetic fluid 113 can be avoided. The continuously adjustable nozzle 11 device 10 for high-pressure water jet rail grinding of the present invention is also provided with an abrasive inlet 1116 sealing ring, through which the high-pressure water flow can be prevented from being ejected from the abrasive inlet 1116.

[0073] Furthermore, the cross section of the water inlet section 1111 is larger than the cross section of the water outlet section 1112, and a step structure 1117 is provided in the nozzle. The continuously adjustable nozzle 11 for high-pressure water jet rail grinding of the present invention further includes a filter screen 114, the cross section of which is larger than the cross section of the step structure 1117, and the filter screen 114 can be fixed on the step structure 1117 under the action of water pressure. It can be understood that since the cross section of the water inlet section 1111 is larger than the cross section of the water outlet section 1112, the flow rate of the water outlet section 1112 is accelerated, and the kinetic energy of the high-pressure water flow is further increased to improve the cutting ability, and the filter screen 114 can prevent external impurities in the water flow from affecting the use of the continuously adjustable nozzle 11 for high-pressure water jet rail grinding, and the continuously adjustable nozzle 11 for high-pressure water jet rail grinding can prevent the high-pressure water flow from being ejected from the filter screen 114 through the sealing ring of the abrasive inlet 1116.
