Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of steel pipe necking, and particularly to the steel pipe necking process for air conditioner silencers. Background Art

[0002] The steel pipe of the air conditioner internal silencer needs to be necked for easy connection. The necking of the silencer pipe is a forming process in which a pre-formed silencer pipe is reduced in diameter at its mouth by a necking machine. In the prior art, when necking the silencer pipe, the necking section is prone to tangential instability and wrinkling due to the action of a large tangential compressive stress, and the simple wall area that plays a force transmission role is prone to axial instability and wrinkling due to the action of an axial compressive stress, so it is difficult to obtain a stable and effective steel pipe for air conditioner silencers.

[0003] Therefore, we propose a steel pipe necking process for air conditioner silencers to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a steel pipe necking process for air conditioner silencers to solve the deficiencies existing in the prior art.

[0007] S2. Heat the marked necking sections at both ends of the steel pipe of the silencer to 850 - 950 °C, and at a position 1 - 2 cm away from the port of the steel pipe of the silencer, evenly forge this position with a small forging press, so that both ends of the port tilt and contract inward to form a pre-necking;

When the necking section cools to room temperature, the prefabricated necking die is withdrawn from the necking section, the necking at both ends of the steel pipe of the silencer is formed, and it is placed in a vacuum heat treatment furnace for heat treatment, and the heat treatment time is 8 - 10 h;

[0011] S6. During heat treatment and cooling to room temperature, the pre-necked parts at both sides of the necking section are cut off by a cutting machine to make the cut surface smooth, and the necking section is polished by a polishing device to make the inner and outer surfaces of the necking section smooth and bright;

[0012] S7. Perform a sound insulation test on the muffler steel pipe after necking. After passing the test, apply oil and store it.

[0013] Preferably, in S1, the muffler steel pipe rotates evenly for 1 circle under the laser marking machine to make a mark.

[0014] Preferably, in S2, when forging by a small forging press, the forging block is inclined, and the inclination angle is 45 - 60°.

[0015] Preferably, in S3, when the prefabricated necking die is extruded and rotated, the temperature of the marked necking section is maintained, and it is carried out under argon protection.
