Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of coating technology, and in particular to a new heat exchange tube in-tube spraying device capable of reducing coating waste, saving coating, and lowering production costs, especially a heat exchanger tube in-tube spraying device. Background Art

[0002] As a key component of the heat exchanger, the inner tube of the heat exchanger generally needs to be sprayed with a coating on its inner wall during the production process to achieve anti-corrosion and other effects.

[0003] Currently, there are some devices and equipment in the prior art for spraying the inner tubes of large heat exchangers. For example, patent publication number CN212284707U discloses an anti-corrosion coating device for the inner tubes of large heat exchangers. Its main structure includes a track with a support vehicle provided above one end of the track; a fourth drive motor provided on one side of the sliding mounting block, one end of the fourth drive motor fixedly mounted to the side wall of the sliding mounting block, the output shaft of the fourth drive motor being in transmission connection with the upper end of the second hydraulic cylinder; a fifth drive motor provided on one side of the lower end of the second hydraulic cylinder, one end of the fifth drive motor fixedly mounted to the side wall of the second hydraulic cylinder, the output shaft of the fifth drive motor being in transmission connection with one end of a short robotic arm.

[0004] It can be seen from the records of the above-mentioned prior art patent that the above-mentioned device adopts the filling and coating principle to paint the inner surface of the heat exchanger, which can easily cause huge waste of paint, and due to air resistance during the filling and coating process, the coating effect inside the tube cannot be guaranteed. During the coating process, the process is cumbersome and the operation is complicated, and the heat exchanger needs to be at a certain angle, which has low safety.

[0005] In addition, for example, in the patent document with patent publication number CN210449645U, an epoxy resin coated composite steel pipe internal spraying device is also disclosed, whose main structure includes a limit block, a pipe ring, a third electric push rod and a base, characterized in that: a second electric push rod is installed at the top of the base, and a lifting frame is installed at the top of the base at one end of the second electric push rod, a mounting seat is installed at the top of the lifting frame, a first fixed tube is installed at the top of the limit block, a first electric push rod is installed on one side of the first fixed tube, and a hanging ring is evenly provided at the bottom end of the first electric push rod, and a bar magnet is evenly provided on the outer wall of one side of the first electric push rod; a material storage box is installed on one side of the top of the base, and a pump is installed at the bottom end of the material storage box, and the pump, motor, first electric push rod, second electric push rod and third electric push rod are all electrically connected to the controller through wires.

[0006] From the contents recorded in the above-mentioned epoxy resin coating composite steel pipe internal spraying device, it can be seen that the device has a complex structure and is propelled in sections by an electric push rod. The single-rod propulsion spraying efficiency is low and it cannot spray small-diameter pipes.

Two turntables are placed in front and behind the position of the workpiece placement mechanism 1. The front turntable 101 is a fixed turntable and the rear turntable 102 is a movable turntable. The distance of 102 can be adjusted according to the length of the equipment. The main function of the workpiece placement mechanism is to adjust the placement angle of the equipment. A walking rail 2 fixed to the ground at intervals is provided on the rear side of the workpiece placement mechanism. A front feeding unit B is fixedly installed at the front end of the walking rail 2, and a rear feeding unit C is cooperated with the rear end of the walking rail 2. A spraying pipe group is cooperated with the front feeding unit B and the rear feeding unit C. The front end of the spraying pipe group movably passes through the front feeding unit B, and the rear feeding unit C drives the front end of the spraying pipe group to enter the interior of the heat exchanger tube A to be sprayed by moving along the length direction of the walking rail 2 to realize spraying. The feed port end of the spraying pipe group is connected to the external sprayer 3 through a pipeline. The heat exchanger tube internal spraying equipment adopts a workpiece placement mechanism 1 to place and adjust the heat exchanger, so that it can effectively cooperate with the displacement of the front feeding unit B and the rear feeding unit C at its rear end to drive the spraying tube group to achieve alignment with the positioned heat exchanger tube, and finally, after adjustment and alignment, the work of the sprayer 3 is used to realize the internal spraying of the heat exchanger tube.

The nozzle spacing adjustment component here adopts a method of spacing multiple spray pipes 401 and setting the spacing distance between each spray pipe 401 to an adjustable state, which can ensure that it can realize the adjustment control between each nozzle spacing adjustment component as needed to ensure its effect during the later spraying.

[0041] In any of the above schemes, it is preferred that the front feeding unit B includes a feeding trolley 10 that is slidably connected to the walking rail 2, and also includes a front end Z-axis feeding mechanism 8 vertically fixedly installed on the platform, and a front end X-axis feeding mechanism 2 perpendicular to it is fixedly installed on the slider of the front end Z-axis feeding mechanism 8; the rear feeding unit C includes a feeding trolley 10 that is slidably connected to the walking rail 2, and a vertically arranged rear end Z-axis feeding mechanism 8 is installed on the top of the feeding trolley 10, and a front end Z-axis feeding mechanism 8 is fixed on the slider of the rear end Z-axis feeding mechanism 8.

After adjustment, the two round tube sleeves 11 at the front and rear ends that match the same spray tube 401 can be in a synchronous displacement state when shifting; ultimately, the purpose of adjusting the spacing distance between each spray tube 401 can be achieved, which is convenient for adjustment according to spraying requirements.

[0044] Example 2:

[0045] The heat exchanger tube internal spraying equipment includes a workpiece placement mechanism 1, which is used to place the heat exchanger tube A to be sprayed on the workpiece placement mechanism 1. A walking rail 2 fixed on the ground at intervals is provided on the rear side of the workpiece placement mechanism 1. A front feeding unit B is fixedly installed at the front end of the walking rail 2, and a rear feeding unit C is cooperatedly installed at the rear end of the front feeding unit B. A spraying pipe group is cooperatedly installed between the front feeding unit B and the rear feeding unit C. The front end of the spraying pipe group movably passes through the front feeding unit B, and the rear feeding unit C drives the front end of the spraying pipe group to enter the interior of the heat exchanger tube A to be sprayed by moving along the length direction of the walking rail 2 to realize spraying. The feed port end of the spraying pipe group is connected to an external sprayer 3 through a pipeline.

[0046] The heat exchanger tube internal spraying equipment adopts a workpiece placement mechanism 1 to place and adjust the heat exchanger, so that it can effectively cooperate with the displacement of the front feeding unit B and the rear feeding unit C at its rear end to drive the spraying tube group to achieve alignment with the positioned heat exchanger tube, and finally, after adjustment and alignment, the work of the sprayer 3 is used to realize the internal spraying of the heat exchanger tube.

[0047] In any of the above schemes, it is preferred that the spray pipe group is composed of a number of spray tubes 401 that are spaced apart and arranged in parallel, the inlet end of each spray tube 5 is connected to the external sprayer 3 through a pipeline, the rear end of each spray tube 401 is fixedly mounted on the rear feeding unit C and follows the rear feeding unit C to achieve forward and backward displacement, and the front end of each spray tube 401 is movable through the bottom of the front feeding unit B and achieves forward and backward displacement under the action of the feeding unit.

[0048] The spray pipe group here adopts a method of setting multiple spray tubes 401 at intervals and setting the interval distance between each spray tube 401 to an adjustable state, which can ensure that the position adjustment control between each spray tube 401 can be achieved as needed to ensure the effect during the later spraying.

[0049] In any of the above schemes, preferably, the front feeding unit B includes a front Z-axis feeding mechanism 8 vertically fixedly mounted on the ground, and a front Y-axis feeding mechanism perpendicular to the front Z-axis feeding mechanism is fixedly mounted on the slider of the front Z-axis feeding mechanism 2;

[0050] The rear feeding unit C includes a feeding trolley 10 that is slidably connected to the walking rail 2, and a vertically arranged rear end Z-axis feeding mechanism 8 is installed on the top of the feeding trolley 10, and a rear end Y-axis feeding mechanism 5 perpendicular to it is fixedly installed on the slider of the rear end Z-axis feeding mechanism; the front end Z-axis feeding mechanism 8 and the rear end Z-axis feeding mechanism are synchronously lifted and lowered; the front end Z-axis feeding mechanism 8 and the rear end Z-axis feeding mechanism drive the front end Y-axis feeding mechanism and the rear end Y-axis feeding mechanism to achieve synchronous lifting and lowering through synchronous lifting and lowering; a nozzle spacing adjustment component is fixedly installed on the outer end bottom of the moving end of the front end Y-axis feeding mechanism and the outer end bottom of the moving end of the rear end Y-axis feeding mechanism, and the spray pipe group 11 is respectively provided between the two nozzle spacing adjustment components.

[0052] While the front-end Z-axis feed mechanism 8 and the rear-end Z-axis feed mechanism control the lifting height along the Z-axis, the front-end Y-axis feed mechanism and the rear-end Y-axis feed mechanism can synchronously realize horizontal synchronous displacement along the Y-axis direction. Therefore, with the cooperation of the front-end Z-axis feed mechanism 8, the rear-end Z-axis feed mechanism, the front-end Y-axis feed mechanism and the rear-end Y-axis feed mechanism, the height adjustment of the entire spray tube group and the adjustment of the heat exchanger tube group closer to or away from the heat exchanger tube in the radial direction can be realized, which is convenient for positioning adjustment.

[0053] In any of the above solutions, it is preferred that the two nozzle spacing adjustment components cooperate synchronously to achieve synchronous adjustment of the spacing between the spray conduits 401 on the spray pipe group.

After adjustment, the two round tube sleeves 11 at the front and rear ends that match the same spray tube 401 can be in a synchronous displacement state when shifting; ultimately, the purpose of adjusting the spacing distance between each spray tube 401 can be achieved, which is convenient for adjustment according to spraying requirements.

[0062] Specific working principle:

[0063] The present invention provides a technical solution: a coating process for the inside of a heat exchanger tube A, the process comprising the following steps: 1. positioning the heat exchanger workpiece; 2. adjusting and positioning the spraying pipeline; 3. spraying the inside of the heat exchanger tube; 4. waiting for the surface to dry after spraying is completed.

[0064] Specifically, the main process operation flow is as follows:

[0065] S1. Use a crane to lift the heat exchanger onto the traveling roller frame and keep it horizontal.

[0066] S2. After turning on the infrared level and camera on the front feeding unit B to determine the moving position of the front end of the heat exchanger, move the two traveling roller frames to the determined position, and open the roller clamps configured for the supporting rollers on the traveling roller frames to lock the rollers and prevent the heat exchanger from moving as a whole;

[0067] S3. Use the camera and infrared level attached to the front feeding unit B to take pictures and locate the heat exchanger tube bundle A to determine the arrangement and coordinates of the heat exchanger tube bundle A;

[0068] S4. Turn on the existing numerical control device on the external sprayer 3, select a program that matches the heat exchanger assembly, and begin the automatic pipe positioning process. This process utilizes the existing program and position coordinates to control the front Y-axis feed mechanism 4, the rear Y-axis feed mechanism, and the nozzle spacing adjustment assembly 11, driving the overall adjustment and movement of each spray conduit 4 until each spray conduit 4 corresponds to each tube bundle in the heat exchanger.

[0069] S5. Turn on the adjustable speed motor on the feeding trolley 10, causing it to move forward horizontally at a constant speed on the running rail 402, driving the rear feeding unit C to move, and then driving each spray pipe 401 to move forward horizontally at a constant speed. The forward speed is controlled at 1-2 m / s. After the nozzles at the front section of each spray pipe 401 have completely leaked out of the rear end of the heat exchanger, turn off the adjustable speed motor and control the feeding trolley 10 to stop.

[0070] S6. Turn on the spray gun on the sprayer 3 and turn on the flow monitoring assembly on the spray gun, and control the flow rate at 0.1-0.5L / min until the paint flow rate stabilizes;

[0071] S7. After the flow rate stabilizes, the adjustable speed motor on the feeding trolley 10 is turned on and the trolley moves horizontally and uniformly along the ground rail 2, driving the rear feeding unit C to move, and then driving each spray pipe 4 to move horizontally and uniformly backward at a speed of 0.1-0.3 m / s until the nozzle at the front end of each spray pipe 401 completely leaks out from the other end of the heat exchanger. Then, the adjustable speed motor 12 and the spray gun are turned off.

[0072] S8. Repeat S4, S5, S6, and S7 until all pipes of the heat exchanger are coated, then turn off all switches of all spraying equipment and cut off power.

[0073] S9: Keep the heat exchanger after coating still on the walking roller frame 102 for 10-30 minutes to dry the surface. After that, the surface drying is completed and other operations can be carried out. The specific surface drying time is based on whether the coating surface is sticky when touched by hand.
