Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of flame cutting, and in particular to a continuous rotary detonation flame cutting device. Background Art

[0002] Existing flame cutting equipment requires simultaneous introduction of an oxidizer and a reducing agent into the cutting torch to ensure safe ignition. The flame intensity is then adjusted by adjusting the oxidizer flow rate, which takes a long time to adjust. During the cutting process, the kinetic energy of the cutting oxygen flow blows combustion products away from the plate being cut. This results in long preheating and perforation times, slowing cutting speeds. Furthermore, thermal deformation is significant, especially when cutting thin plates, resulting in low cutting accuracy. Non-ferrous metals such as copper and aluminum, as well as stainless steel, cannot be cut. The fuel combustion method is environmentally unfriendly and can cause flashback after cutting due to operator errors, posing a certain safety risk. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, the present application provides a continuous rotary detonation flame cutting device, which solves the problems in the prior art and improves the efficiency and cutting quality of flame cutting.

[0004] The continuous rotary detonation flame cutting equipment provided in this application adopts the following technical solutions:

The cutting fuel supply device is connected to the space between the outer combustion chamber ring and the inner combustion chamber ring. An ignition component is provided in the outer combustion chamber ring. After the ignition component ignites the cutting fuel between the outer combustion chamber ring and the inner combustion chamber ring, a detonation wave is formed and ejected from the flame nozzle.

[0007] The combustion chamber inner ring extends to the flame nozzle, and a through hole extending along the axial direction is provided in the combustion chamber inner ring.

[0009] Optionally, the space between the outer ring of the combustion chamber and the inner ring of the combustion chamber includes an injection chamber and a combustion chamber cavity that are connected to each other, and the injection chamber and the combustion chamber cavity are arranged in sequence along the flame injection direction.

[0027] An embodiment of the present application provides a continuous rotary detonation flame cutting device.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, a continuous rotary detonation flame cutting device includes: a detonation combustion chamber 17, a preheating fuel supply device and a cutting fuel supply device

[0029] The detonation combustion chamber 17 includes a support plate 18, a combustion chamber inner ring 13 fixed on the support plate 18, and a combustion chamber inner ring 14. The combustion chamber outer ring 13 is coaxially surrounded by the outer circumference of the combustion chamber inner ring 14. The inner wall of the combustion chamber outer ring 13 converges toward the outer wall of the combustion chamber inner ring 14 at the end away from the support plate 18. There is a gap between the collapsed combustion chamber outer ring 13 and the combustion chamber inner ring 14. The port of the collapsed combustion chamber outer ring 13 forms a flame nozzle 16. The cutting fuel supply device connects the space between the combustion chamber outer ring 13 and the combustion chamber inner ring 14. An ignition component 7 is provided in the combustion chamber outer ring 13. The ignition component 7 ignites the cutting fuel between the combustion chamber outer ring 13 and the combustion chamber inner ring 14 to form a detonation wave that is ejected from the flame nozzle 16.

[0030] The combustion chamber inner ring 14 extends to the flame nozzle 16 , and a through hole extending along the axial direction is provided in the combustion chamber inner ring 14 . The through hole passes through both end surfaces of the combustion chamber inner ring 14 and the support plate 18 , and the preheating fuel supply device is connected to the through hole.

[0031] The preheating fuel supply device delivers the preheating fuel to the flame nozzle 16 through the through hole, ignites it at the flame nozzle 16, and changes the temperature of the combustion flame by adjusting the relative amounts of the reducing agent and the oxidizing agent delivered by the preheating fuel supply device to preheat and melt the steel plate to be cut. When the steel plate is melted to a cuttable state. The cutting fuel supply device injects the cutting fuel into the annular combustion chamber cavity 15 composed of the combustion chamber outer ring 13 and the combustion chamber inner ring 14. At this time, the atomized mixture in the combustion chamber cavity 15 is ignited by the ignition component 7. The ignition component 7 is an igniter, which performs detonation combustion in the combustion chamber cavity 15 and forms a detonation wave. The detonation wave is ejected from the flame nozzle 16 at high speed along with the high-temperature flame generated by the combustion, and melts and cuts the steel plate to be cut. At this time, the high-energy detonation wave generated by the combustion blows the melted metal and the formed oxides away from the cut metal plate in time, making the cutting process smoother. Because of the combined effect of the high-energy detonation wave and the ejected airflow, the ability to cut the thickness of the metal plate is improved, and the penetration time of the steel plate during the cutting process is reduced, thereby greatly improving the cutting efficiency.

[0032] The cutting fuel supply device includes an oxidizer supply tank 1, a reductant supply tank 2, and a premixing chamber 5. The oxidizer supply tank 1 and the reductant supply tank 2 communicate with the inlet of the premixing chamber 5, and the outlet of the premixing chamber 5 communicates with the space between the combustion chamber outer ring 13 and the combustion chamber inner ring 14. The oxidizer supply tank 1 communicates with the premixing chamber 5 via an oxidizer supply line 3, the reductant supply tank 2 communicates with the premixing chamber 5 via a reductant supply line 4, and the premixing chamber 5 communicates with the combustion chamber via a mixture supply pipe.

[0033] The space between the combustion chamber outer ring 13 and the combustion chamber inner ring 14 includes an injection chamber 11 and a combustion chamber 15, which are connected to each other. The injection chamber 11 and the combustion chamber 15 are arranged in sequence along the flame injection direction of 15. The outlet of the premixing chamber 5 is connected to the injection chamber 11. The injection chamber 11 is provided with a plurality of outlets distributed along the circumference of the combustion chamber inner ring 14. The injection chamber 11 is connected to the combustion chamber 15 through the plurality of outlets. An annular block surrounding the combustion chamber inner ring 14 is fixed on the inner side of the support plate 18, and an annular cavity is provided within the annular block to form the injection chamber 11.

[0034] Oxidant and reductant in a specific filling ratio are injected from oxidant supply tank 1 and reductant supply tank 2 through oxidant supply line 3 and reductant supply line 4 into oxidant and reductant premixing chamber 5 for mixing. The fully mixed mixture enters injection chamber 11 through mixture supply line 6, generating a certain pressure in injection chamber 11. After further blending in injection chamber 11, the oxidant and reductant mixture is injected into annular combustion chamber 15.

[0035] An atomizing nozzle 12 is installed on the outlet of the injection chamber 11. The oxidant and reducing agent mixture that is further mixed in the injection chamber 11 is injected into the annular combustion chamber 15 through the atomizing nozzle 12. At this time, the atomized mixture in the combustion chamber 15 is ignited by the igniter, and detonation combustion is carried out in the combustion chamber 15 to form a detonation wave.

[0036] The cutting fuel supply device further includes a pressure-maintaining assembly (not shown). The injection chamber 11 is provided with a pressure-maintaining inlet 8 connected to the pressure-maintaining assembly, through which the pressure-maintaining assembly provides a preset air pressure to the injection chamber 11. The pressure-maintaining assembly can be a storage tank containing an inert gas. The inert gas is stored under a certain pressure in the tank and provides pressure to the injection chamber 11 through the pressure-maintaining inlet 8.

[0037] After the cutting is completed, the mixture entering the injection chamber 11 is cut off, and the remaining mixture in the injection chamber 11 is injected into the combustion chamber 15 through the atomizing nozzle 12 under the pressure of the pressure maintaining inlet 8. After the flame is burned, it will automatically go out without backfire, making the entire flame cutting equipment safer and more reliable.

[0038] In one embodiment, the preheating fuel supply device includes a reducing agent injection pipe 10 and an oxidizing agent injection pipe 9. The reducing agent injection pipe 10 and the oxidizing agent injection pipe 9 are coaxially spaced and located in the through hole. The reducing agent injection pipe 10 is sleeved on the outside of the oxidizing agent injection pipe 9. One end of the reducing agent injection pipe 10 and the oxidizing agent injection pipe 9 is located at the flame nozzle 16. The end of the oxidizing agent injection pipe 9 away from the flame nozzle 16 is placed outside the reducing agent injection pipe 10. The end of the reducing agent injection pipe 10 away from the flame nozzle 16 is sealed to the outer wall of the oxidizing agent injection pipe 9. An input pipe 101 is connected to the side wall of the reducing agent injection pipe 10 outside the detonation combustion chamber. The oxidizing agent injected from the oxidizing agent injection pipe 9 and the reducing agent injected from the reducing agent injection pipe 10 are mixed at the flame nozzle 16.

[0039] In one embodiment, the detonation combustion chamber 17 of the present application can be installed on mounting bases of different forms (such as door-type, handheld, etc.) according to actual needs to meet the needs of different scenarios.

[0040] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present application, but the scope of protection of the present application is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present application should be based on the scope of protection of the claims.
