Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of cryogenic treatment of contact wires, and in particular to a cryogenic treatment method for contact wires. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, with the development of electrified railways in the direction of high speed, energy saving and systematic development, its construction area has gradually extended to areas with complex topography and harsh environment such as Yanbian and Plateau. The speed increase of trains and the harsh environment have put forward higher requirements on the electrical and mechanical properties of contact wires used in the contact network of electrified railways. The conventional contact wire preparation method can no longer meet the requirements. Therefore, on the basis of the existing technology, a cryogenic treatment method is used to make the contact wire achieve higher performance. At present, there is no case of using a cryogenic treatment method to prepare contact wires in the industry. The general cryogenic treatment method is to perform a cryogenic treatment on a certain size of products, parts, tooling, etc. in a closed warehouse of a certain size, then take them out and perform a designed number of cryogenic treatments. If the above method is used to perform cryogenic treatment on long-length and large-tonnage contact wires, the closed warehouse needs to have sufficient space, and the amount of cryogenic medium is large, the cost is high, and the process of performing multiple cryogenic treatments at the same time is cumbersome and complicated, and the efficiency of cryogenic treatment is low. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a cryogenic treatment method for contact wires, so that it can improve the performance of contact wires while achieving efficient and low-cost cryogenic treatment of long-length and large-tonnage contact wires. Summary of the invention

[0016] The spray liquid is circulated through the spray circulation system. The spray liquid is sprayed out from the spray head in the spray box, used for spraying and heating the contact line, and then flows into the spray liquid storage tank; the liquefied water in the temperature control chamber is collected in the spray liquid storage tank for recycling.

[0017] After the contact wire is formed, the online cryogenic treatment of the contact wire by the present invention can not only increase the dislocations in the contact wire to form dislocation rings, increase the number of twins and change the morphology, increase the precipitated phases, and reduce the size and distribute them evenly; it can also eliminate defects such as pores and holes inside the contact wire and improve the density of the contact wire; in addition, the stability of the organization, performance, size, etc. of the contact wire during use, especially in extreme environments, is improved; in short, cryogenic treatment changes the microstructure of the contact wire, eliminates defects, and comprehensively improves its strength, hardness, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, arc erosion resistance, stability, etc., and has high electrical conductivity, so that it still has a long service life in extreme environments.

[0054] In a specific embodiment, the temperature changing device 100 is composed of a temperature regulating chamber group 400 and a cryogenic treatment chamber 5. The temperature regulating chamber group 400 includes four independent temperature regulating chambers 9, and the four temperature regulating chambers 9 are closely fitted and arranged in sequence.

[0055] The condensate return flow channels 20 of the four temperature adjustment bins 9 form a condensate return flow channel arranged obliquely downward, and the condensate return flow channel 20 is connected to the spray liquid storage tank 19;

[0056] A heating and heat preservation device 18 is provided inside the spray liquid storage tank 19, and a temperature controller 16 is provided outside the spray liquid storage tank 19;

[0059] In the specific embodiment, pressure gauges 23 are provided on the evaporator 6 and the compressor 25 .

[0060] Example 1: The material of the contact wire is prepared by melting and casting, continuous extrusion, cold deformation, aging treatment, and drawing to obtain the following components according to the mass percentage: 0.6wt% Cr, 0.11wt% Zr, 0.05wt% Sn, and the remainder Cu and unavoidable impurities, and the total mass percentage of each component is 100%. Figure 4 The cross-sectional area is 150 mm 2 The contact line is then cryogenically treated as follows:

[0061] One end of the contact wire is connected to a chain, which passes through a plurality of temperature-adjusting chambers 9, is wound several times on a guide roller 11 in a cryogenic treatment chamber 5, and is then connected to a wire take-up machine 13 through a circulating spray box 10 and a drying device 12.

[0062] Turn on the spray box temperature controller 16 to start the heating and heat preservation device 18 to work. When it reaches the set temperature of 20°C±1°C and stabilizes, turn on the pump 17 and the spray liquid is sprayed through the spray head 14.

[0063] Turn on the temperature control and display device 7 and the temperature detection device 8 on each temperature adjustment chamber 9 and the cryogenic treatment chamber, and set the temperature of each temperature control and display device 7 to -10°C, -40°C, -70°C, -90°C, and -100°C from left to right, with a temperature error of ±2°C.

[0064] Turn on the switch of the cryogenic medium storage tank 1, set the transformer 2, open the first safety valve 3 and the evaporator 6, and the cryogenic medium enters the evaporator 6 from the cryogenic medium storage tank 1 through the transformer 2, the first safety valve 3, the one-way valve 4, and then the cryogenic medium vaporizes. After the cryogenic medium vaporizes, it flows through the pipeline, the temperature control and display device 7, and flows from the upper end of the spiral cooling pipe and the entrance of the cryogenic treatment chamber. The temperature-adjusting chamber and the cryogenic treatment chamber are cooled accordingly. The temperature detection device 8 detects the temperature of each temperature-adjusting chamber and the cryogenic treatment chamber in real time. When the set temperature is reached, the temperature control and display device 7 stops inputting the cryogenic medium through the flow controller. When the temperature detected by the temperature detection device 8 is higher than the set temperature, the cryogenic temperature control and display device 7 inputs the vaporized cryogenic medium through the flow controller. The above process is repeated to keep each temperature-adjusting chamber and the cryogenic treatment chamber at the set temperature.

[0065] The safety valve, condensation filter 24, compressor 25 and collection tank 22 on the cryogenic medium recovery pipeline are opened to recover the cryogenic medium.

[0066] The wire take-up machine 13 is turned on, and the rotation of the wire drum drives the chain to rotate, so that the contact wire passes through four temperature adjustment chambers 9 in sequence and reaches the deep cold treatment chamber 5, in which it is deep cold treated. The time of deep cold treatment is adjusted by the wire drum take-up speed and the number of contact wire winding turns on the guide roller. The deep cold time of each part of the contact wire is 30 minutes. After that, it enters the spray box 10, and the spray liquid fully contacts the contact wire, so that the contact wire is quickly heated to room temperature. After being dried by the drying device 12, it is wound on the wire drum.

[0067] During the cryogenic treatment process, the circulating refrigeration system and the circulating spraying system continue to work. The cryogenic medium flows out from the lower end of each spiral cooling tube and the cryogenic treatment chamber, and is collected in the condensation filter 24 for filtration, and then compressed into liquid by the compressor 25, and collected in the collection tank 22 for secondary recycling. The spray liquid is sprayed from the multiple spray heads 14 inside the spray box 10, and after contacting the contact line, it enters the spray liquid storage tank 19 through the funnel area and the return pipe 15 below the spray box 10. At the same time, the condensed water flows into the spray liquid storage tank 19 from the pipe 20, and is recycled in this way.

[0068] After the wire is taken up, turn off the wire taking-up device, drying device, related switches of the circulating refrigeration system, temperature variable device switch, and circulating spray system switch.

[0069] In Comparative Example 1, Example 1 is not subjected to cryogenic treatment, and the remaining steps are the same as those of Example 1.

[0070] In Comparative Example 2, Example 1 is directly placed in a cryogenic treatment chamber at -190°C for cryogenic treatment, and the cryogenic time of each contact line is 30 minutes.

[0071] The performance test of the copper alloy contact wires prepared in Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2 was carried out. The cross-sectional dimensions of the contact wires were the same. Figure 3 The main electromechanical performance test results are as follows

[0072]

[0073] It can be seen from the table that the tensile strength, wear resistance and arc erosion resistance of the copper alloy contact wire prepared by Example 1 and Comparative Example 2 are relatively high, but the repeated bending performance of Comparative Example 2 is poor, and the surface quality is unqualified; the copper alloy contact wire prepared by Comparative Example 1 has low tensile strength and softening rate, and its wear resistance and arc erosion resistance are worse than those of Example 1.

[0074] After the contact wire is formed, it is subjected to a single or set number of online variable temperature cryogenic treatments to gradually cool it down. This can not only increase the number of dislocations in the contact wire to form dislocation rings, increase the number of twins, and change the morphology, increase the number of precipitated phases, and make them smaller and more evenly distributed; it can also eliminate defects such as pores and holes inside the contact wire and improve the density of the contact wire; in addition, it improves the stability of the organization, performance, and size of the contact wire during use, especially in extreme environments. In summary, cryogenic treatment changes the microstructure of the contact wire, eliminates defects, and comprehensively improves its strength, hardness, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, arc erosion resistance, and stability. It also has high electrical conductivity, which enables it to have a long service life in extreme environments.

[0075] The present application can make the following adjustments according to the performance requirements of the product: (1) by increasing or decreasing the number of temperature-adjusting bins and cryogenic treatment bins, the purpose of slow cooling and repeated cryogenic treatment can be achieved; (2) by setting the temperature of each temperature-adjusting bin in the temperature-changing device to achieve multi-mode temperature-changing treatment; (3) the cryogenic treatment time can be adjusted by the wire-winding speed, the size of the temperature-adjusting bin, the winding condition of the contact wire in the cryogenic treatment bin, the outer diameter of the guide roller, etc. The present invention has extremely high flexibility and adaptability, and is not only applicable to the cryogenic treatment requirements of contact wires, but also to the cryogenic treatment requirements of other metal wires;

[0076] A guide roller is arranged in the cryogenic treatment chamber, so that the contact wire is wound on it for cryogenic treatment, which not only greatly expands the cryogenic treatment time range, makes the applicability of the continuous cryogenic device wider, but also saves the equipment space;

[0077] By introducing cooling medium into the spiral cooling tube, the contact line at the core is subjected to indirect cryogenic treatment, which has the following advantages: (1) the direct thermal shock of the cryogenic medium on the contact line can be effectively reduced, which not only further avoids the occurrence of defects such as cracks, but also reduces the erosion of the surface of the contact line by the cryogenic medium and its impurities, thereby ensuring the surface quality of the product; (2) the spiral cooling tube can quickly reach the set temperature, and the temperature distribution is uniform, which is conducive to rapid and high-quality cryogenic treatment; (3) the efficient recovery and reuse of the cryogenic medium is realized;

[0078] The bottom of each temperature-adjusting chamber and cryogenic treatment chamber is funnel-shaped, and the condensate recovery pipes are tightly connected and angled downward as a whole, which is convenient for condensate recovery and can effectively prevent gas circulation between temperature-adjusting chambers;

[0079] During operation, the continuous cryogenic device has a complete collection and circulation system, which can effectively recycle and reuse cryogenic media, spray liquids and other liquids, reducing production costs, avoiding the leakage of harmful substances, and achieving the goals of energy saving and environmental protection.

[0080] At least one group of temperature-changing devices is arranged according to the demand of the contact line, and each group of temperature-changing devices includes several groups of independent temperature-adjusting chambers and one group of cryogenic treatment chambers. Each temperature-adjusting chamber is provided with an independent temperature control system. By controlling the temperature of each temperature-adjusting chamber and the temperature of the cryogenic treatment chamber respectively, the purpose of gradually changing the contact line from room temperature to low temperature, ultra-low temperature, and finally to the cryogenic treatment temperature is achieved. It realizes online temperature-changing treatment of the contact line and effectively avoids defects such as brittle cracking of the contact line caused by sudden temperature drop. Moreover, since a transversely arranged guide roller is arranged in the cryogenic treatment chamber, the surface of the guide roller is provided with a concave spiral groove, and the contact wire is spirally wound along the concave spiral groove on the surface of the guide roller and then passes through the outlet end of the cryogenic treatment chamber. The single cryogenic time is controlled by three factors: the wire-winding speed of the wire-winding machine, the number of turns of the wire wound on the guide roller in the cryogenic treatment chamber, and the outer diameter size of the guide roller.

[0081] In summary, a cryogenic treatment method for a contact wire can not only produce a high-performance contact wire, but also has low production cost and high efficiency. In addition, the present application is applicable to wires other than contact wires and has a wide range of applicability.

A cryogenic treatment method for a contact wire according to claim 3, Features: A transversely arranged guide roller is provided in the cryogenic treatment chamber, and a concave spiral groove is provided on the surface of the guide roller. The contact wire is spirally wound along the concave spiral groove on the surface of the guide roller and then passes through the outlet end of the cryogenic treatment chamber. The cryogenic medium performs a cryogenic operation on the contact wire through the surface of the contact wire, and the single cryogenic time is controlled by three factors: the wire taking-up speed of the wire taking-up machine, the number of turns of the wire wound around the guide roller in the cryogenic treatment chamber, and the outer diameter size of the guide roller.

5. A cryogenic treatment method for a contact wire according to claim 2, Features: The contact wire is cryogenically treated in a single cryogenic treatment chamber at a temperature of -80°C to -190°C for 5 to 30 minutes.

6. A cryogenic treatment method for a contact wire according to claim 1, Features: During the cryogenic treatment of the contact line, the cryogenic medium is recycled and reused through a circulating refrigeration system.

7. A cryogenic treatment method for a contact wire according to claim 1, Features: The spray liquid is circulated through the spray circulation system. The spray liquid is sprayed out from the spray head in the spray box, used for spraying and heating the contact line, and then flows into the spray liquid storage tank; the liquefied water in the temperature control chamber is collected in the spray liquid storage tank for recycling.
