Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of heat treatment technology, in particular to a spray quenching system and method for a centrifugal working roll. Background Art

[0002] In the fields of mechanical engineering, heat treatment technology and material processing engineering, the spray quenching equipment of centrifugal work rolls is one of the key equipment. Centrifugal work rolls are an important equipment for rolling medium plates, and their quality directly affects the quality of medium plates. During the rolling process, the centrifugal work rolls need to undergo a forced cooling process of spray to ensure that their cooling speed is continuous and uniform, thereby ensuring the process quality of the medium plate.

[0003] Existing centrifugal work roll spray quenching equipment usually adopts axial flow fans and water pipes for forced cooling. The function of axial flow fans and water pipes is to provide cooling air and water to cool the centrifugal work rolls. However, the main factors of this cooling method, such as wind direction, air volume, water pressure, water flow, etc., cannot be quantitatively controlled, resulting in an uncontrolled production process, which seriously affects the process quality of the product.

[0004] The existing centrifugal working roller spray quenching equipment has the following problems: First, since the main factors such as wind direction, air volume, water pressure, and water flow of the axial flow fan and the water pipe cannot be quantitatively controlled, the production process is out of control, which seriously affects the process quality of the product. Secondly, in the existing nozzle cooling device, the distance between each nozzle cannot be constant, resulting in uneven cooling area, affecting the cooling effect. Finally, the existing nozzle is connected to the water storage device through a water pipe, but due to the unstable pressure and flow of the water storage device, the pressure and flow at the nozzle cannot be constant, further affecting the cooling effect. Therefore, the existing centrifugal working roller spray quenching equipment has obvious deficiencies in quantitatively controlling important parameters such as air volume, water pressure, and water flow, and is in urgent need of improvement. Summary of the invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a spray quenching system and method for centrifugal working rolls, which can meet the safety and production process requirements on site, reduce the fluctuation range of important parameters such as water pressure and water flow, and improve product quality consistency.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: A spray quenching system for a centrifugal working roll comprises a support, a rotating device arranged at the front and rear ends of the support, a cooling device and a temperature measuring device arranged on the inner wall of the support, and a centralized controller; The rotating device is a machine tool, and the machine tool comprises a motor and a supporting wheel; the supporting wheel is arranged on a bearing of the motor; The cooling device comprises a plurality of rows of nozzles evenly arranged on the inner wall of the bracket, each row of nozzles has the same number, is arranged at the same distance and is aligned, and each row of nozzles is provided with a switch and an opening regulating valve; each nozzle comprises a frame and a nozzle arranged on the frame; the nozzle comprises a water spray pipe, a spray pipe and an air spray pipe; The nozzle is connected to a constant pressure water storage device and an air storage device, both of which include a water pump and a pressure regulating valve; the water storage device is connected to a water spray pipe and a spray pipe respectively; the air storage device is connected to a spray pipe and an air spray pipe respectively; The temperature measuring device comprises a temperature sensor arranged at each column of nozzles; The centralized controller controls the rotation speed of the rotating device, the mode and opening degree of the cooling device, and collects the temperature signal of the temperature measuring device.

[0007] A further improvement of the technical solution of the present invention is that: the bracket is of an open type.

[0008] A further improvement of the technical solution of the present invention is that the rack is a movable rack capable of adjusting the length and angle.

[0009] A method for spray quenching a centrifugal working roll comprises the following steps: S1. Hang the centrifugal working roll in the spray quenching system for the centrifugal working roll and adjust the cooling device; S2, setting the speed of the rotating device; S3, inputting a preset cooling speed into the centralized control system, and the system determines the cooling mode. If the preset cooling speed is below a first preset value, an air cooling mode is adopted; if the preset cooling speed is between the first preset value and the second preset value, a mist cooling mode is adopted; if the preset cooling speed is above the second preset value, a water cooling mode is adopted; S4, start the spray quenching system for the centrifugal working roll, collect the centrifugal working roll temperature corresponding to each row of nozzles in real time, compare it with the cooling speed curve preset in the centralized controller, and adjust the opening of each row of nozzles respectively; S5. Complete the quenching of the centrifugal working rolls, and screen out abnormal cooling speed points based on the cooling speed records of the centrifugal working rolls in each section in the centralized control system, conduct quality inspection and decide whether secondary quenching is needed.

[0010] A further improvement of the technical solution of the present invention is that S1 specifically comprises the following steps: S11 adjusts the nozzle length and angle according to the diameter parameter of the centrifugal working roller, so that each nozzle is at the same distance from the centrifugal working roller and is aligned with the center of the centrifugal working roller; S12 adjusts the nozzle switch corresponding to the centrifugal working roller according to the length parameter of the centrifugal working roller and sets it to the punching state.

[0011] A further improvement of the technical solution of the present invention is that the S4 body comprises the following steps: S41, controlling the cooling speeds of adjacent columns to be within the same threshold. When the cooling speed of a column exceeds the threshold, first adjusting the nozzle opening and cooling mode of the column to make the cooling speed of the column and adjacent columns within the same threshold; S42, when the cooling speed of each column is greater than the preset cooling speed, reduce the opening of the regulating valve to make the cooling speed the same as the preset cooling speed; in the mist cooling mode or the water cooling mode, when the opening of the regulating valve reaches the minimum threshold, switch the cooling mode to the maximum threshold of the air cooling mode or the mist cooling mode and continue to adjust; S43.

Moreover, the present invention can achieve quantitative control of important parameters such as air volume, water pressure, water flow, and uniform cooling effect, thereby greatly improving the continuous and uniform cooling speed of the centrifugal working roll, thereby improving the process quality of the medium plate and improving product consistency.

[0015] 4.

This device has a wider applicability.

[0016] 5. The roller rotating device of the present invention adopts a machine tool-type design, and supports the roller body or roller neck through a supporting wheel to ensure that the roller can rotate evenly; the supporting wheel is installed in the bearing, and the roller is driven to rotate through the rotational force of the bearing seat and the motor. The nozzle and the roller move at a constant speed relative to each other, thereby improving the uniformity of quenching and cooling of the roller surface and improving product quality.
