Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of sealing performance, in particular to a high-temperature sealing material testing system for local vacuum electron beam welding. Background Art

[0002] Electron beam welding (EBW) is a fusion welding method that has rapidly developed with the advancement of modern science and technology. Electron beams offer high energy density, high weld depth-to-width ratios (up to 15:1), a small heat-affected zone (HAZ), minimal workpiece deformation, and fine-grained metals. The weld metal thickness ranges from 1 to 150 mm, and no beveling or welding wire is required. The weld quality is high, achieved in a single pass, something unattainable with other welding methods. Considering factors such as welding efficiency and quality, EBW offers advantages over other welding methods, particularly in welding thick metal plates exceeding 50 mm. EBW offers a significant advantage, achieving full penetration in a single pass, significantly reducing the number of welds and shortening the welding process. For example, when welding a metal ring with a thickness of 100 mm and an inner diameter of 5000 mm, if narrow gap tungsten inert gas shielded arc welding is used, multiple passes are performed, each pass has a filling thickness of 1.5 mm to 2 mm, and a welding speed of 80 mm / min to 120 mm / min, then the welding time will be at least 110 hours. If the cooling time required for temperature control between welding layers is taken into account, the welding cycle will need to be further extended. For the same workpiece, the welding cycle for vacuum electron beam welding is about 2 hours.

[0003] However, this type of welding needs to be carried out in a vacuum environment. For the welding of large-size pipes for ship systems, the weld seam after welding must move relative to the weld seam of the vacuum electron beam welding. Therefore, how to ensure the sealing of the vacuum electron beam welding space and the performance testing of high-temperature sealing materials used for local vacuum electron beam welding are technical problems that need to be urgently solved by technical personnel in this field in China.

[0043] Example 1

[0044] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the present invention discloses a high-temperature sealing material testing system for local vacuum electron beam welding, comprising:

[0045] The support device 1 is limited to be fixed relative to the ground;

[0046] A moving device 2 is used to load the weld plate 9, and the moving device 2 can drive the weld plate 9 to move relatively on the supporting device 1;

[0047] A test platen 3 is mounted above the support device 1. A sealing ring connector 5 is provided on the lower surface of the test platen 3. The sealing ring connector 5 is used to connect to the test object 10. A first connecting pipe 7 and a second connecting pipe 34 are provided within the sealing ring connector 5. The first connecting pipe 7 passes through the test platen 3 and is connected to the vacuum pump 11. The second connecting pipe 34 passes through the test platen 3 and is connected to the pressure gauge 6. The height of the test platen 3 above the support device 1 can be relatively adjusted.

[0048] A pressurizing device 8 capable of adjusting the pressure borne by the test piece 10 on the test plate 3 when in contact with the weld plate 9;

[0049] The traction device 4 is used to adjust the relative position of the moving device 2 on the supporting device 1.

[0050] During their research, the applicant discovered that for local vacuum electron beam welding of large-sized pipes used in ship systems, the sealing performance of the seals set around the electron beam gun is of paramount importance in achieving vacuum welding. However, since the weld formed by the electron beam gun on the welded part is long and the temperature of the weld is extremely high after welding, the seals are required to have strong high-temperature resistance and a certain degree of deformation ability. For existing seals, generally high-temperature resistant materials have extremely high rigidity. Therefore, when high-temperature sealing materials are used for local vacuum electron beam welding, when encountering moving welds, the sealing materials are very likely to fail due to their poor deformation ability, thereby affecting the overall performance of vacuum electron beam welding. Therefore, the applicant needs to improve the existing sealing materials and continuously test the sealing properties of the improved seals. The applicant has designed a high-temperature sealing material testing system for local vacuum electron beam welding as described above. When in use, the weld plate 9 is loaded and fixed on the moving device 2. When the weld plate 9 on the moving device 2 moves to the bottom of the test pressure plate 3 under the action of the traction device 4, the height of the test pressure plate 3 and the pressure on the part to be tested 10 are adjusted by adjusting the pressurizing device 8. At this time, the lower surface of the part to be tested 10 covers the weld 91 of the weld plate 9 and is in sealing contact with the upper surface of the weld plate 9. The air in the sealed inner cavity 53 is extracted through the first connecting pipe 7 connected to the vacuum equipment to form a vacuum state. The air pressure inside the sealed inner cavity 53 is detected by the pressure gauge 6 connected to the second connecting pipe 34. During the detection process, the traction device 4 can be adjusted as needed to drive the weld plate 9 to move relative to the part to be detected 10 to perform dynamic sealing performance detection of the weld. The pressurizing device 8 can be adjusted as needed to perform sealing performance detection under different pressure states of the part to be detected 10. At the same time, the weld height on the weld plate 9 can be adjusted as needed to perform sealing performance detection of the part to be detected 10 under different welding height conditions. This greatly improves the efficiency of sealing performance detection of high-temperature sealing materials for local vacuum electron beam welding and facilitates replacement of the test pressure plate 3.

[0051] The high-temperature sealing material testing system for local vacuum electron beam welding described in the present invention can simultaneously perform rapid tests on the high-temperature resistance, plastic sealing and stacking damage performance of the test piece 10 on the test pressure plate 3. Replacing the test pressure plate 3 is simple, which greatly improves the efficiency and reliability of the sealing performance testing of high-temperature sealing materials for local vacuum electron beam welding.

[0052] As a preferred example of the present invention, the mobile device 2 includes a mobile bracket 21, a wheel assembly 22 is provided below the mobile bracket 21, and a limiting device is provided above the mobile bracket 21, the limiting device being used to accommodate and limit the weld plate 9. Specifically, as an example of the present invention, the mobile bracket 21 includes a transverse link and a longitudinal link (arranged along the direction of movement of the trolley) that are integrally formed and arranged vertically, and the transverse link and the longitudinal link of the mobile bracket 21 are made of channel steel by welding.

[0053] This setting discloses a structure of a mobile device 2, which ensures the overall structural strength of the mobile device 2, avoids the mobile bracket 21 from being deformed by force when the pressurizing device 8 is pressurized, and improves the reliability of the high-temperature sealing material testing system for local vacuum electron beam welding described in the present invention.

[0054] As a preferred example of the present invention, the limiting device includes a first limiting baffle 23, a second limiting baffle 24, a third limiting baffle 25 and a fixed baffle 26, and the fixed baffle 26 is arranged on one end of the mobile bracket 21 close to the traction device 4, and the first limiting baffle 23, the second limiting baffle 24, and the third limiting baffle 25 are detachably connected to the mobile bracket 21 through a first limiting bolt 29, and the first limiting bolt 29 is installed vertically up and down, and a second limiting bolt 210 is arranged on the first limiting baffle 23, the second limiting baffle 24, and the third limiting baffle 25, and the second limiting bolt 210 is installed horizontally from the outside to the inside. Preferably, a support platform 27 is formed on the upper surface of the movable bracket 21 between the first limit baffle 23, the second limit baffle 24, the third limit baffle 25 and the fixed baffle 26 for installing and placing the weld plate 9, and at least two first limit bolts 29 are set to detachably connect the first limit baffle 23 and the movable bracket 21, at least two first limit bolts 29 are set to detachably connect the second limit baffle 24 and the movable bracket 21, and at least two first limit bolts 29 are set to detachably connect the third limit baffle 25 and the movable bracket 21; at least two second limit bolts 210 are set on the first limit baffle 23, and the two second limit bolts 210 are on the outside of the first limit bolt 29 on the first limit baffle 23. The setting method of the second limit bolts 210 on the second limit baffle 24 and the third limit baffle 25 is similar to that of the second limit bolt 210 on the first limit baffle 23, and will not be repeated here.

[0055] By setting up the removable first limit baffle 23, the second limit baffle 24, the third limit baffle 25 and the fixed baffle 26, it is convenient to install and fix different weld plates 9. At the same time, through the adjustment of the second limit bolt 210, on the one hand, the limit device can be applied to weld plates 9 of different sizes or types, thereby improving its applicability. On the other hand, it also improves the convenience of replacing the weld plate 9 and the stability of fixing, thereby further improving the reliability of sealing detection.

[0056] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, four wheel assemblies 22 are provided, with the centerlines of two wheel assemblies 22 arranged in the direction of motion collinear. Two of the wheel assemblies 22 are mounted on a longitudinal link arranged in a front-to-rear pattern along the direction of motion on the mobile support 21, and the other two wheel assemblies 22 are mounted on another longitudinal link. Preferably, the wheels of the wheel assemblies 22 are pressure-bearing wheels.

[0057] This arrangement further improves the reliability of the movement of the mobile device 2 on the mobile bracket 21, especially the reliability and stability of the movement when the weld plate 9 is under pressure, and further improves the efficiency and reliability of the sealing detection of the high-temperature sealing material testing system for local vacuum electron beam welding described in the present invention.

[0058] As a preferred example of the present invention, the support device 1 includes a support frame 101, a track 103 is provided on the upper surface of the support frame 101, and the wheel assembly 22 moves horizontally along the track 103 under the action of the traction device 4. As an example of the present invention, the support frame 101 is a rectangular frame formed by welding channel steel. Two tracks 103 are provided on the support frame 101, each track 103 being formed by welding two square steel bars. As a preferred example of the present invention, a base plate 102 is provided at the lower end of the support frame 101 for leveling the support device 1 and ensuring that the support device 1 is securely fixed relative to the ground.

[0059] This arrangement not only facilitates the production of the supporting device 1 , but also enhances the structural strength of the supporting device 1 , thereby ensuring the reliability of the sealing test of the component to be tested 10 .

[0060] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the traction device 4 includes a handwheel 401 and a first adjustment rod 402. The first adjustment rod 402 passes through the first adjustment plate 104 and is threadedly connected to the threaded connecting plate 28. The first adjustment plate 104 is fixed to the upper surface of the support frame 101. The first adjustment rod 402 is hingedly connected to the first adjustment plate 104 via a bearing or a clamping plate. The threaded connecting plate 28 is fixed to the movable bracket 21. This configuration discloses a structure in which the traction device 4 drives the movable device 2 to move horizontally forward or backward. During use, by rotating the handwheel 401, the handwheel 401 drives the first adjustment rod 402 to rotate integrally. Under the action of the first adjustment plate 104, the first adjustment rod 402 can only rotate. The threaded portion formed on the end of the first adjustment rod 402 away from the handwheel 401 is threadedly connected to the threaded connecting plate 28. When the first adjustment rod 402 rotates, it can drive the threaded connecting plate 28 to move forward or backward, thereby driving the movable bracket 21 and the weld plate 9 to move forward or backward as a whole. Preferably, the first adjustment rod 402 is arranged on the center line between the two rails 103 .

[0061] This setting drives the movement adjustment of the mobile device 2 by adjusting the traction device 4 manually or with the help of mechanical tools. It has a simple structure, reliable transmission, and convenient adjustment, which further improves the stability and reliability of the movement adjustment of the mobile device 2. At the same time, the movement speed of the mobile device 2 can be adjusted quickly or slowly as needed, thereby improving the sealing detection of the diversified working conditions of the part 10 to be tested.

[0062] As a preferred example of the present invention, the test pressure plate 3 includes a plate body 31, the sealing ring connector 5 is welded to the lower surface of the plate body 31, the plate body 31 is arranged in a rectangular shape, the center of the sealing ring connector 5 coincides with the center of the plate body 31, and a limit seat 32 is provided at the upper end of the four azimuth angles of the plate body 31, and the limit seat 32 is used to limit the installation of the pressure device 8.

The part to be tested 10 is assembled into the sealed inner cavity 53. As an example of the present invention, the sealed inner cavity 53 is subjected to a water leakage test after being welded to the plate body 31, and the part to be tested 10 is interference fit with the sealed inner cavity 53.

[0064] This arrangement further improves the convenience and stability of the installation of the pressurizing device 8, while also ensuring that the test platen 3 can be evenly loaded on the test piece 10 when adjusting the pressure, thereby ensuring the reliability of the sealing performance test of the test piece 10 under different pressures.

[0065] As a preferred example of the present invention, the pressurizing device 8 includes a second adjusting rod 81 and a pressure spring 82. A through hole 33 is provided at the center of the limit seat 32. The lower end of the second adjusting rod 81 passes through the through hole 33 and is connected to the first connecting plate 105. The first connecting plate 105 is fixed to the support frame 101. The pressure spring 82 is sleeved on the second adjusting rod 81, and the lower end of the pressure spring 82 extends into the interior of the limit seat 32 and abuts against the upper surface of the plate body 31. A spring seat 83 is provided above the pressure spring 82, and a first adjusting nut 84 is provided at the upper end of the spring seat 83. The first adjusting nut 84 is threadedly connected to the second adjusting rod 81. As an example of the present invention, the first connecting plate 105 is provided on the outer upper edge of the support frame 101, and two connecting ribs ( Figure 1 ), the connecting rib is welded to the supporting frame 101.

[0066] This setting discloses the structure of a pressurizing device 8, which simultaneously realizes the rapid fixation of the pressure spring 82 and the quick adjustment of the spring pressure, further improving the pressure adjustment during the sealing test of the high-temperature sealing material testing system for local vacuum electron beam welding described in the present invention, and further improving the sealing test of the component 10 to be tested under various working conditions.

[0067] Preferably, a second adjusting nut 85 is provided below the plate 31 at a position corresponding to the through hole 33, and the second adjusting nut 85 is threadedly connected to the second adjusting rod 81. This arrangement facilitates adjustment of the height of the plate 31 relative to the support device 1, has a simple structure, is easy to operate, and provides a stable connection.

[0068] As a specific example of the present invention, the total spring pressure value of the pressure spring 82 is not less than 800KG, the total test pressure value of the test piece 10 is the weight of the steel plate plus the spring pressure, the test stroke of the moving device 2 is 150mm, the length of the plate body 31 of the test pressure plate 3 is in the range of 500mm to 700mm, the width of the plate body 31 of the test pressure plate 3 is in the range of 260mm to 520mm, and the length of the plate body 31 is greater than the width of the plate body 31, the pressure gauge 6 is a commercially available pressure gauge, and its vacuum pressure gauge measurement range is -0.1MPa--0.9MPa, and there must be no oil or water when the vacuum pump 11 and the test piece 10 are subjected to the sealing performance test.

[0077] The high-temperature sealing material testing method for local vacuum electron beam welding described in the present invention is applied to the high-temperature sealing material testing system for local vacuum electron beam welding described in the present invention. It can quickly perform sealing performance testing of the part to be tested 10 when it is used for local vacuum electron beam welding. It can simultaneously perform high-temperature resistance, mobile plastic sealing and sealing performance testing under different surfacing heights, so that the tested sealing parts can be applied to different working conditions, greatly reducing the test cost, greatly improving the sealing performance testing efficiency, and can quickly and reliably determine the sealing materials suitable for local vacuum electron beam welding.

[0078] The applicant further discovered during research that nitrile rubber (NBR) is a copolymer of butadiene and acrylonitrile. It has excellent oil resistance, wear resistance, heat resistance, and adhesion, making it the most commonly used raw material for sealing rubber. However, nitrile rubber seals prepared using different modifications and processing techniques generally exhibit different properties. Seals used in vacuum electron beam welding require high wear resistance, high temperature resistance, high elasticity, and high strength. The components of the test piece 10 described in the present invention include:

[0079] 100 parts of a nitrile rubber copolymer; in the present invention, the nitrile rubber copolymer is manufactured by copolymerization of α, β-ethylenically unsaturated monocarboxylic acid alkyl ester monomers or α, β-ethylenically unsaturated monocarboxylic acid alkoxyalkyl ester monomers; the Mooney viscosity (ML1+4, 100°C) of the nitrile rubber copolymer is preferably 35 to 65.

[0080] The method for producing the acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber copolymer rubber used in the present invention is not particularly limited, and can be produced by copolymerizing the above-mentioned monomers and, if necessary, hydrogenating the carbon-carbon double bonds in the resulting copolymer. The polymerization method is not particularly limited, and can be carried out by a known emulsion polymerization method or solution polymerization method. During the polymerization, in addition to using an emulsifier, a polymerization initiator, and a molecular weight regulator, commonly used polymerization auxiliary materials can also be used.

[0081] 35-55 parts of liquid nitrile rubber modified carbon black; the liquid nitrile rubber modified carbon black is obtained by reacting amino-terminated liquid nitrile rubber with carbon black treated with an epoxy silane coupling agent;

[0082] 3 to 5 parts of a composite vulcanizing agent; the composite vulcanizing agent preferably includes sulfur, dicumyl peroxide and N, N'-m-phenylene bismaleimide (HVA-2);

[0083] 1 to 3 parts of a copolymeric antioxidant; wherein the copolymeric antioxidant includes N-(4-anilinophenyl) acrylamide, N-(4-anilinophenyl) methacrylamide, N-(4-anilinophenyl) cinnamic acid amide, N-(4-anilinophenyl) crotonamide, N-phenyl-4-(3-vinylbenzyloxy) aniline, N-phenyl-4-(4-vinylbenzyloxy) aniline, etc.;

[0084] 1 to 3 parts of an accelerator; wherein the accelerator preferably includes one or more of triallyl cyanurate, triallyl isocyanurate and m-phenylene bismaleimide.

[0085] When preparing the test piece 10, the nitrile rubber copolymer, the nitrile rubber modified carbon black, the amine crosslinking agent, the copolymerizable anti-aging agent and the accelerator are mixed or extruded. Preferably, the test piece 10 is extruded through a special mold to obtain the test piece 10, such as Figure 10As shown, the test piece prepared by this solution can be continuously formed, with low cost and high efficiency, while improving the product yield rate. The test piece 10 includes a sealing ring 1001, and a hollow deformation cavity 1002 is provided in the cross-sectional direction of the sealing ring 1001. Preferably, the deformation cavity 1002 is any one or more of the structures such as a circle, a rhombus or a regular polygon. By providing the hollow deformation cavity 1002 inside the sealing ring 1001, the overall elastic deformation performance of the test piece 10 is further improved.

[0086] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
