Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of forging technology, specifically relating to a special forging forming equipment and processing technology for an integrated forged valve body of a power station shut-off valve. Background Technology
[0002] Forging is a processing method that uses forging machinery to apply pressure to metal billets, causing them to undergo plastic deformation to obtain forgings with certain mechanical properties, shapes, and dimensions. It is one of the two major components of forging and pressing (forging and stamping). Forging can eliminate defects such as casting porosity generated during the smelting process, optimize the microstructure, and, because it preserves the complete metal flow lines, the mechanical properties of forgings are generally superior to those of castings made of the same material. Important parts in related machinery that are subject to high loads and harsh working conditions are mostly forged, except for simpler shapes that can be made from rolled plates, profiles, or welded parts. Power station gate valves need to be forged using forging equipment during the production process to facilitate rapid forming. After that, they are sprayed with anti-corrosion paint and enter the next process. However, the existing forging equipment and processing technology for valve bodies cannot keep the valve body warm and slow down the cooling process, allowing for continuous forging. It cannot avoid the need to remelt the unformed valve body, making the production process cumbersome. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a dedicated forging equipment and processing technology for an integrated forged valve body of a power station shut-off valve, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, such as the inability of existing dedicated forging equipment and processing technology for forged valve bodies to achieve the effect of heat preservation and slow down the cooling so that continuous forging can be carried out, and the inability to avoid remelting the unformed valve body, which causes cumbersome production process.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a special forging forming equipment for an integrated forged valve body of a power station gate valve, comprising a forging table, a first drive seat, and a second drive seat. An L-shaped fixing seat is bolted to the top of the forging table. The top two ends of the L-shaped fixing seat are respectively provided with a first drive seat and a second drive seat via a platform. A first servo motor and a second servo motor are respectively mounted on one side of each of the first and second drive seats via mounting bases. The output shafts of both the first and second servo motors are connected to lead screws via couplings, and each lead screw is fitted with a... There are two wire blocks, No. 1 and No. 2. The tops of both wire blocks are respectively bolted to a first hydraulic cylinder and a second hydraulic cylinder. A support column B is welded to the top of the L-shaped fixed seat and located between the first and second drive seats. A forging die is bolted to the top of the support column B. A burner is mounted on one side of the forging die through a mounting hole. A support column A is welded to one side of the top of the forging table. A fuel tank is bolted to the top of the support column A. The output port of the fuel tank is connected to the input port of the control valve, and the output port of the control valve is connected to the gas collection chamber.
[0005] Furthermore, a sealing cover is bolted to the top of the forging die, and forging ports are welded to both sides of the forging die. The output shafts of the first hydraulic cylinder and the second hydraulic cylinder are respectively connected to the first forging rod and the second forging rod. The forging heads of the first forging rod and the second forging rod both pass through the forging ports and are located inside the forging die.
[0006] Furthermore, guide rods are installed on both sides of the lead screw through mounting holes, and reserved holes are opened on both sides of the first and second lead blocks, with the guide rods passing through the reserved holes.
[0007] Furthermore, the output port of the gas collection chamber is connected to the burner via a bent connecting pipe, and X-shaped support frames are welded at equal intervals to the bottom of the forging table.
[0008] The specific forging process steps for the one-piece forged valve body of the power station shut-off valve are as follows:
[0009] Step 1: Put the valve body material into the ultrasonic cleaner, add water and sodium carbonate solution for ultrasonic cleaning, and after cleaning, quickly dry it in warm air to remove dirt and impurities from the material surface.
[0010] Step 2: Place the cleaned valve body material into the furnace chamber of the medium frequency furnace and heat it to 900-1000 degrees Celsius;
[0011] Step 3: Use a clamp to place the heated forging material into the forging mold and lock the sealing cover. Use servo motors 1 and 2 to drive the lead screw to rotate, so that lead screw 1 and lead screw 2 slide towards each other.
[0012] Step 4: Connect the power supply to the first hydraulic cylinder to drive the forging head of the first forging rod to forge the valve body material. After one side of the valve body is formed, open the control valve to allow the fuel in the fuel tank to enter the burner, which will facilitate combustion and continue to heat up the valve body.
[0013] Step 5: Connect the power supply to the second hydraulic cylinder to drive the forging head of the second forging rod to forge the other side of the valve body. Heat while forging, and each forging time shall not exceed 10 minutes to achieve one-piece forging.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0015] 1. Using a clamp, the heated forging material is placed into the forging mold and the sealing cap is engaged. Servo motors one and two drive the lead screw to rotate, causing lead blocks one and two to slide towards each other. The power to the first hydraulic cylinder is switched on, driving the forging head of the first forging rod to forge the valve body material. Once one side of the valve body is formed, the control valve is opened to allow fuel from the fuel tank to enter the burner, facilitating combustion and further heating of the valve body. The power to the second hydraulic cylinder is switched on, driving the forging head of the second forging rod to forge the other side of the valve body. Forging and heating occur simultaneously, with each forging session lasting no more than 10 minutes. This achieves integrated forging, high forging efficiency, strong practicality, saving manpower and resources, and is highly automated, safe, and reliable.
[0016] 2. During the forging process, the valve body cools down rapidly. The burner is used to keep the valve body warm, slowing down the cooling process and allowing for continuous forging. This avoids remelting unfinished valve bodies, which would complicate the production process. The forging openings on both sides of the forging die act as guides and increase the strength of both sides of the forging die, preventing cracking during forging and affecting service life. The X-shaped support frame welded at equal intervals at the bottom of the forging table improves the overall strength, rigidity, and stability of the forging table, preventing shaking during forging.

Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0023] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the forging equipment for the integrated forged valve body of the power station gate valve includes a forging table 19, a first drive seat 2, and a second drive seat 12. An L-shaped fixing seat 18 is bolted to the top of the forging table 19.

A support column B20 is welded to the top of the L-shaped fixed seat 18 and located between the first drive seat 2 and the second drive seat 12. A forging die 7 is bolted to the top of the support column B20. A burner 23 is installed on one side of the forging die 7 through a mounting hole. A support column A17 is welded to one side of the top of the forging table 19. A fuel tank 10 is bolted to the top of the support column A17. The output port of the fuel tank 10 is connected to the input port of the control valve 24, and the output port of the control valve 24 is connected to the gas collection chamber 9.
[0024] The forging mold 7 has a sealing cover 8 bolted to its top. Forging ports 6 are welded to both sides of the forging mold 7. The output shafts of the first hydraulic cylinder 5 and the second hydraulic cylinder 25 are respectively connected to the first forging rod 11 and the second forging rod 14. The forging heads of the first forging rod 11 and the second forging rod 14 pass through the forging ports 6 and are located inside the forging mold 7. When the power supply to the first hydraulic cylinder 5 is turned on, the forging head of the first forging rod 11 is driven to forge the valve body material. When the power supply to the second hydraulic cylinder 25 is turned on, the forging head of the second forging rod 14 is driven to forge the other side of the valve body. The forging is carried out while heating is being carried out. Each forging time does not exceed 10 minutes, achieving one-piece forging and forming with high forging efficiency and strong practicality.
[0025] Among them, guide rods 15 are installed on both sides of the lead screw 3 through mounting holes, and reserved holes are opened on both sides of the first lead block 4 and the second lead block 16, and the guide rods 15 pass through the reserved holes.
[0026] The gas collection chamber 9 is connected to the burner 23 via a bent connecting pipe 22. X-shaped support frames 21 are welded at equal intervals to the bottom of the forging table 19. The X-shaped support frames 21 welded at equal intervals to the bottom of the forging table 19 improve the overall strength, rigidity and stability of the forging table 19 and prevent shaking during the forging process.
[0027] The specific forging process steps for the one-piece forged valve body of the power station shut-off valve are as follows:
[0028] Step 1: Put the valve body material into the ultrasonic cleaner, add water and sodium carbonate solution for ultrasonic cleaning, and after cleaning, quickly dry it in warm air to remove dirt and impurities from the material surface.
[0029] Step 2: Place the cleaned valve body material into the furnace chamber of the medium frequency furnace and heat it to 900-1000 degrees Celsius;
[0030] Step 3: Use a clamp to place the heated forging material into the forging mold 7 and lock the sealing cover 8. Use servo motor 1 and servo motor 13 to drive the lead screw 3 to rotate, so that lead block 4 and lead block 16 slide towards each other.
[0031] Step 4: Connect the power supply to the first hydraulic cylinder 5 to drive the forging head of the first forging rod 11 to forge the valve body material. After one side of the valve body is formed, open the control valve 24 to allow the fuel in the fuel tank 10 to enter the burner 23, so as to facilitate combustion and continue to heat up the valve body.
[0032] Step 5: Connect the power supply to the second hydraulic cylinder 25 to drive the forging head of the second forging rod 14 to forge the other side of the valve body. Heat while forging, and each forging time shall not exceed 10 minutes to achieve one-piece forging.
[0033] In operation, the heated forging material is placed into the forging mold 7 using a clamp and the sealing cover 8 is engaged. Servo motors 1 and 13 drive the lead screw 3 to rotate, causing lead screw blocks 4 and 16 to slide towards each other. The power to the first hydraulic cylinder 5 is switched on, driving the forging head of the first forging rod 11 to forge the valve body material. Once one side of the valve body is formed, the control valve 24 is opened, allowing fuel from the fuel tank 10 to enter the burner 23 for combustion, further heating the valve body. The power to the second hydraulic cylinder 25 is switched on, driving the forging head of the second forging rod 14 to forge the other side of the valve body. Forging and heating occur simultaneously, with each forging session lasting no more than 10 minutes. This achieves integrated forging, high forging efficiency, strong practicality, saves manpower and resources, and is highly automated, safe, and reliable. During the forging process, the valve body cools down rapidly. The burner 23 is used to keep the valve body warm and slow down the cooling process, allowing for continuous forging. This avoids having to remelt the unfinished valve body, which would complicate the production process. The forging ports 6 on both sides of the forging die 7 serve as guides and increase the strength of both sides of the forging die 7, preventing cracking during forging and affecting service life. The X-shaped support frames 21 welded at equal intervals at the bottom of the forging table 19 improve the overall strength, rigidity, and stability of the forging table 19, preventing it from shaking during forging.
