Detailed Implementation

[0028] The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

[0029] like Figures 1-5 As shown, a high-temperature alloy casting welding repair cooling device includes: a stainless steel water tank 1, two circulating water pipes 4 and a heat dissipation wheel 6. A casting fixing seat 2 is installed on the bottom surface of the stainless steel water tank 1. A hydraulic cylinder 24 is installed in the casting fixing seat 2. A lifting platform 25 is fixed to the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 24. The position of the welding repair area can be easily adjusted through the hydraulic cylinder 24, and it is suitable for welding repair and rework of various castings. An overflow port 3 is opened on the side wall of the stainless steel water tank 1. The overflow port 3 can ensure that the position of the welding repair area is 3-5mm higher than the position of the overflow port 3, which is convenient for operation and efficient cooling. A thermometer 26 is fixed on the side wall of the stainless steel water tank 1, which allows the staff to intuitively judge the water temperature in the stainless steel water tank 1 through the thermometer 26.

[0030] Two circulating water pipes 4 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the stainless steel water tank 1. Both ends of the circulating water pipes 4 are connected to the inside of the stainless steel water tank 1. The circulating water pipes 4 are vertical and their ends are connected to the stainless steel water tank 1 at different heights. The middle part of the circulating water pipes 4 is set in an arched bend. A water pump 5 is installed at the connection between the circulating water pipes 4 and the stainless steel water tank 1.

[0031] Using liquid water as a heat transfer medium can quickly and evenly cool the welded area, removing the heat generated by the weld, thereby reducing or even eliminating cracks caused by a large temperature difference between the welded area and the casting body, ensuring the weld quality and work efficiency of high-temperature alloy castings.

[0032] The heat dissipation rotating wheel 6 is arranged at the arched bending part of the circulating water pipe 4, the heat dissipation rotating wheel 6 comprises a mounting plate 7 fixed on the side wall of the stainless steel water tank 1, a rotating shaft 8 is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 7, three sealing cylinders 9 are arranged in an annular array on the rotating shaft 8, and a heat dissipation plate 10 is fixed on each of the three sealing cylinders 9; the heat dissipation plate 10 is in an arc structure which is matched with the arched bending part of the circulating water pipe 4; and a heat-driven gravity adjusting assembly is arranged in the sealing cylinder 9.

[0033] The heat-driven gravity adjusting assembly comprises a counterweight 11 which is sealingly and slidably connected to the inner side of the sealing cylinder 9; a thermal expansion and contraction medium 12 is filled in the sealed space formed by the counterweight 11 and the sealing cylinder 9 near the side of the stainless steel water tank 1; and an exhaust hole is formed in the side wall of the sealing cylinder 9 to avoid the resistance generated by the counterweight 11 when sliding in the sealing cylinder 9 due to the air pressure.

[0034] When the water temperature is high, the heat is transferred to the heat dissipation plates 10 and the sealing cylinders 9 near the circulating water pipe 4, so that the thermal expansion and contraction medium 12 in the sealing cylinder 9 is heated and expanded, thereby pushing the counterweight 11 to move, so that the gravity center of the heat dissipation rotating wheel 6 is offset, and the heat dissipation rotating wheel 6 is rotated by a certain angle, so that the heat dissipation plate 10 is rotated to the upper position and is separated from the surface of the circulating water pipe 4; the heat dissipation plate 10 can quickly dissipate heat to the air; the adjacent heat dissipation plate 10 is rotated to the position close to the circulating water pipe 4, and is automatically rotated and separated after absorbing the heat of the circulating water pipe 4 by the heat dissipation plate 10; and the above process is repeated, so that the heat dissipation plates 10 are intermittently rotated without the need of an additional power driving device, thereby achieving the purpose of quickly dissipating the heat of the water in the circulating water pipe 4 to the air, effectively reducing the temperature of the liquid water, and improving the cooling effect.

[0035] The side wall of the sealing cylinder 9 is embedded with a first electrically-conductive sheet 13 and a second electrically-conductive sheet 14 which are opposite to each other and do not contact each other; the first electrically-conductive sheet 13 is electrically connected with an external power supply; and the second electrically-conductive sheet 14 is electrically connected with the water pump 5; in this embodiment, the thermal expansion and contraction medium 12 is liquid mercury which has good thermal expansion and contraction and electrical conductivity; when the thermal expansion and contraction medium 12 is heated and expanded and contacts the first electrically-conductive sheet 13 and the second electrically-conductive sheet 14, the circuit between the first electrically-conductive sheet 13 and the second electrically-conductive sheet 14 is connected, thereby achieving the purpose of automatically controlling the on-off of the circuit of the water pump 5; when the water temperature in the stainless steel water tank 1 is lower than 50℃, the degree of expansion of the thermal expansion and contraction medium 12 is not enough to contact the first electrically-conductive sheet 13 and the second electrically-conductive sheet 14, and the first electrically-conductive sheet 13 and the second electrically-conductive sheet 14 are in a power-off state; and when the water temperature in the stainless steel water tank 1 is higher than 50℃, the thermal expansion and contraction medium 12 in the sealing cylinder 9 is expanded to be higher than the first electrically-conductive sheet 13 and the second electrically-conductive sheet 14, thereby automatically connecting the circuit of the water pump 5 and controlling the water pump 5 to automatically operate when the water temperature is higher than 50℃, without the need of manual operation.

[0036] Both sides of the stainless steel water tank 1 are hinged with guide plates 15. The two guide plates 15 are arranged parallel to each other. The guide plates 15 guide the flow direction of liquid water in the stainless steel water tank 1, so that the liquid water flows in a ring to promote uniform cooling of the liquid water. A disc 16 is coaxially fixed on the rotating shaft 8. A pin 17 is fixed on the surface of the disc 16. A movable frame 18 is sleeved on the pin 17. A push-pull rod 19 is fixed on the movable frame 18. The side wall of the stainless steel water tank 1 has a through hole for the push-pull rod 19 to pass through. The end of the push-pull rod 19 located in the stainless steel water tank 1 is hinged to the surface of the guide plate 15. During operation, the cooling wheel 6 is used as the driving force to make the guide plate 15 swing back and forth in the stainless steel water tank 1, control and adjust the flow direction of the circulating water, and further promote the uniform temperature of the liquid water in the stainless steel water tank 1 to ensure the cooling effect of the liquid water on the alloy casting.

[0037] Two sliding sleeves 20 are fixed on the circulating water pipe 4. A rotating rod 21 is rotatably connected inside the sliding sleeve 20. One end of the rotating rod 21 extends into the circulating water pipe 4 and is fixed with a water wheel 22. The other end of the rotating rod 21 is fixed with a turntable 23. Brush bristles are evenly distributed on the peripheral wall of the turntable 23. The flow of liquid water in the circulating water pipe 4 is used as the driving force to make the turntable 23 rotate by itself. The brush bristles on its surface clean the dust and other attachments on the surface of the heat sink 10 to ensure that the heat sink 10 is in full contact with the air and improve its heat dissipation efficiency.

[0038] The working principle of this invention is as follows:

[0039] Fix the alloy casting on the lifting platform 25 of the casting fixing seat 2, adjust the height of the hydraulic cylinder 24 so that the welding repair area of ​​the casting is 3-5mm above the horizontal position of the overflow port 3 of the stainless steel water tank 1, which is convenient for operation and efficient cooling. Pour water into the stainless steel water tank 1 until the water surface reaches the overflow port 3 and then stop.

[0040] Welding repairs are performed on the alloy castings, which raises the water temperature. As the water temperature in the circulating water pipe 4 increases, the heat is transferred to the heat dissipation plate 10 and the sealing cylinder 9, which are close to the circulating water pipe 4. This causes the thermal expansion and contraction medium 12 in the sealing cylinder 9 to expand due to heat, thereby pushing the counterweight 11 to move. This causes the center of gravity of the heat dissipation wheel 6 to shift, and the entire wheel rotates at a certain angle. This causes the heat dissipation plate 10 to rotate to the upper position and detach from the surface of the circulating water pipe 4. The heat dissipation plate 10 can quickly dissipate heat into the air. At this time, the adjacent heat dissipation plate 10 rotates to a position close to the circulating water pipe 4. After the heat dissipation plate 10 absorbs heat from the circulating water pipe 4 again, it automatically rotates and detaches. This process is repeated without the need for an additional power drive device. This achieves the purpose of intermittently rotating each heat dissipation plate 10, quickly dissipating the heat of the water in the circulating water pipe 4 into the air, effectively reducing the temperature of the liquid water and improving its cooling effect.

[0041] When the water temperature in the stainless steel water tank 1 is higher than 50℃, the thermal expansion and contraction medium 12 in the sealing cylinder 9 expands to cover the first contact piece 13 and the second contact piece 14, thereby automatically connecting the circuit of the water pump 5 and controlling the water pump 5 to run automatically when the water temperature is higher than 50℃, without the need for manual operation by the staff. When the water pump 5 is working, the water circulates rapidly in the stainless steel water tank 1, reducing the water temperature and thus removing the heat from the welding area of ​​the casting. When the water flows in the circulating water pipe 4, it drives the water wheel 22 to rotate, causing the turntable 23 to rotate by itself. The brushes on its surface clean the dust and other attachments on the surface of the heat sink 10, ensuring that the heat sink 10 is in full contact with the air and improving its heat dissipation efficiency.

[0042] During rotation, the heat dissipation wheel 6 drives the disc 16 to rotate via the rotating shaft 8. The disc 16 drives the movable frame 18 to swing back and forth via the pin shaft 17, which in turn drives the guide plate 15 to swing back and forth in the stainless steel water tank 1 via the push-pull rod 19. This controls and adjusts the flow direction of the circulating water, further promoting uniform temperature of the liquid water in the stainless steel water tank 1, so as to ensure the cooling effect of the liquid water on the alloy casting.

[0043] 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 within the protection scope of the present invention.
