[0003] The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned problems by providing a secondary rolling mandrel and rolling mill for rolling seamless tubes of non-ferrous metals, thereby solving the aforementioned problems.

[0004] A secondary rolling mandrel for rolling seamless non-ferrous metal tubes, wherein the mandrel body is formed from right to left as follows: tube throwing section, rounding section, wall reduction and equalization section, compression and rotary rolling section, contact biting section and contact section. The outer surfaces of the tube throwing section, rounding section, wall reduction and equalization section, compression and rotary rolling section, contact biting section and contact section are all rotational surfaces with the axis of the mandrel body as the axis.

[0005] Furthermore, the generatrices of the outer surfaces of the contact biting section, the compression rotary rolling section, and the wall reduction and equalization section are straight lines, and the angle between the generatrices of the outer surfaces of the contact biting section, the compression rotary rolling section, and the wall reduction and equalization section and the axis gradually decreases.

[0006] Furthermore, the generatrices of the throwing section and the contact section are circular arcs. The generatrices of the throwing section are tangent to the right end face of the top head body, and the generatrices of the contact section are tangent to the left end face of the top head body.

[0007] Furthermore, the generatrix of the circular segment is a straight line or a circular arc, and the generatrix of the circular segment is tangent to the tube segment.

[0008] Furthermore, the top body also forms a straight section, which is located between the rounding section and the wall reduction and equalization section. The generatrix of the straight section is parallel to the axis, and the two ends of the generatrix of the straight section intersect with the generatrix of the rounding section and the wall reduction and equalization section, respectively.

[0009] Furthermore, the length ratios of the tube throwing section, the rounding section, the straightening section, the wall reduction and equalization section, the compression and rotary rolling section, the contact biting section, and the contact section along the axial direction are: 1-1.6: 1.67-2.92: 0.67-1.25: 11.00-11.25: 12.67-13.75: 2.34-3.33: 2.66-2.92.

[0010] Furthermore, the length ratio of the tube throwing section, the rounding section, the straightening section, the wall reduction and equalization section, the compression and rotary rolling section, the contact biting section, and the contact section along the axial direction is: 1:1.67:0.67:11.00:12.67:2.34:2.66.

[0011] Furthermore, the angles between the generatrices of the tube-throwing section, the circular section, and the wall-reducing and uniformly integrated section and the axis are 3.52°-4.75°, 8°-12°, and 25°-38°, respectively.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this invention.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a secondary rolling mandrel for rolling seamless non-ferrous metal tubes has a mandrel body 1 consisting of a tube-throwing section 11, a rounding section 12, a wall-reducing and equalizing section 13, a compression and rotary rolling section 14, a contact biting section 15, and a contact section 16, arranged sequentially from right to left. The outer surfaces of the tube-throwing section 11, the rounding section 12, the wall-reducing and equalizing section 13, the compression and rotary rolling section 14, the contact biting section 15, and the contact section 16 are all surfaces of rotation about the axis d of the mandrel body 1.

[0029] Furthermore, the generatrices of the outer surfaces of the contact biting section 15, the compression rotary rolling section 14, and the wall reduction and equalization section 13 are straight lines, and the angle between the generatrices of the outer surfaces of the contact biting section 15, the compression rotary rolling section 14, and the wall reduction and equalization section 13 and the axis d gradually decreases.

[0030] Preferably, the two ends of the compression rotary rolling section 14 are respectively formed with a second fillet 19 and a first fillet 18 between the contact biting section 15 and the wall reduction and equalization section 13.

[0031] Furthermore, the generatrices of the throwing section 11 and the contact section 16 are circular arcs. The generatrices of the throwing section 11 are tangent to the right end face of the top body 1, and the generatrices of the contact section 16 are tangent to the left end face of the top body 1.

[0032] Furthermore, the generatrix of the circular segment 12 is a straight line or a circular arc, and the generatrix of the circular segment 12 is tangent to the tube segment 11.

[0033] Furthermore, the top body 1 also forms a straight section 17, which is located between the rounding section 12 and the wall reduction and equalization section 13. The generatrix of the straight section 17 is parallel to the axis d, and the two ends of the generatrix of the straight section 17 intersect with the generatrix of the rounding section 12 and the wall reduction and equalization section 13, respectively.

[0034] Furthermore, the length ratios of the tube-throwing section 11, the rounding section 12, the straightening section 17, the wall-reducing and leveling section 13, the compression rotary rolling section 14, the contact biting section 15, and the contact section 16 along the axial direction d are: 1-1.6: 1.67-2.92: 0.67-1.25: 11.00-11.25: 12.67-13.75: 2.34-3.33: 2.66-2.92. It should be noted that half of the rounded corners at both ends of the compression rotary rolling section 14 lies within the length of the compression rotary rolling section 14, while the other half lies within the length of another section.

[0035] Furthermore, the optimal length ratio of the tube throwing section 11, the rounding section 12, the straightening section 17, the wall reduction and equalization section 13, the compression and rotary rolling section 14, the contact biting section 15, and the contact section 16 along the axis d is: 1:1.67:0.67:11.00:12.67:2.34:2.66.

[0036] Furthermore, the angles between the generatrices of the tube-throwing section 11, the rounding section 12, and the wall-reducing and equalizing section 13 and the axis d are 3.52°-4.75°, 8°-12°, and 25°-38°, respectively. The design of the curved surface angle enables the tube body to extend, expand in diameter, reduce wall thickness, and improve the surface quality accuracy of the inner tube body during the rolling process.

[0037] Furthermore, the optimal angles between the generatrices of the tube-throwing section 11, the circular section 12, and the wall-reducing and uniformly integrated section 13 and the axis d are 4°, 10°, and 25°, respectively.

[0038] Furthermore, the left side of the top body 1 is provided with a channel for supplying lubricating oil and / or cooling water. The lubricating oil serves a lubricating function, while the cooling water serves a cooling function.

[0039] Optionally, such as Figure 1 As shown, a through hole 10 is formed on the left side of the mandrel body 1, and the left side of the inner cavity 100 of the mandrel body 1 is connected to the through hole 10. Lubricating oil and / or cooling water are sprayed out from the through hole 10 into the rough tube being rolled after passing through the inner cavity 100.

[0040] Optionally, such as Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the left end face of the mandrel body 1 is fixedly connected to the mounting block 2. The mounting block 2 is equipped with a nozzle 21. The mounting block 2 is connected to the nozzle 21 and the conveying pipe 6 respectively. The conveying pipe 6 is inserted into the inner cavity 100 of the mandrel body 1. Lubricating oil and / or cooling water are sprayed from the nozzle 21 into the rough tube being rolled after passing through the conveying pipe and the mounting block 2 in sequence.

[0041] When the mandrel body 1 outputs lubricating oil, the self-lubricating system is applied in the secondary piercing process of hot-rolled seamless metal tubes. Its advantages include achieving greater metal elongation and extension coefficients. It improves the density of the metal material structure, solves the problems of numerous internal surface defects and spiral marks during mandrel rolling, and addresses internal roughness and quality issues caused by secondary oxidation during large-scale elongation. During rolling, the self-lubricating system sprays lubricating fluid to isolate harmful gases in the air from the influence of these gases on the matrix composition of non-ferrous titanium, cleans the oxide layer, and forms an anti-oxidation film.

[0042] Furthermore, the non-ferrous metals are titanium alloys TC4, Ti80, and Ti75.

[0043] Furthermore, the radius of the fillet on the right side of the compression rotary rolling section 14 is 30mm to 50mm, the radius of the fillet on the left side of the compression rotary rolling section 14 is 40mm to 60mm, and the radius of the fillet on the contact section 16 is 50mm to 80mm.

[0044] The functions of the following sections are as follows: Section 11 (throwing section 11) ensures the smooth separation of the rough tube from the mandrel body 1 after rolling; Section 12 (rounding section 12) ensures the roundness of the rough tube's outer diameter during rolling, meeting the quality requirements; Section 17 (straightening section 17) ensures smooth rounding of the tube and quality control of the wall thickness during rolling; Section 13 (wall reduction and equalization section 13) increases the wall thickness, expands the outer diameter, and evens the inner surface during the rolling process from solid billet to tube; Section 14 (compression and rotary rolling section 14) loosens the center of the billet, allowing it to rotate and advance; Section 15 (contact and bite section 15) enables the billet to overcome the resistance of the mandrel, facilitating smooth bite-in before the next rolling step; and Section 16 (contact section 16) facilitates contact between the billet and the top of the mandrel body 1 and guides the billet.

[0045] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, a rolling mill using the aforementioned secondary rolling mandrel for rolling seamless non-ferrous metal tubes further includes rollers 3, which are arranged circumferentially around the axis d of the mandrel body 1.

[0046] Furthermore, the angle between the axis d of the top body 1 and the rotation axis of the roller 3 is in the range of 6°~9°.

[0047] Furthermore, during the production rolling process, the rolling of the mandrel body 1 is floating rolling, that is, the mandrel body 1 can only rotate around the axis d.

[0048] Furthermore, the top head body 1 is fixedly connected to the top rod 4, and the top rod 4 is connected to the top rod trolley through the top rod tail 5.

[0049] Preferably, it also includes a connecting cylinder 9, the two ends of which are threadedly connected to the top head body 1 and the top rod 4, respectively.

[0050] Preferably, it also includes a support frame 7, which is located inside the top rod 4, with the outer side of the support frame 7 contacting the inner wall of the top rod 4, and the conveying pipe 6 passing through the inner hole of the support frame 7.

[0051] Preferably, it further includes a positioning block 8, which is inserted into the push rod tail shank 5, and the delivery pipe 6 passes through the push rod tail shank 5.

[0052] Furthermore, the number of rollers 3 is three, and the three rollers 3 are evenly arranged in a circle.

[0053] Preferably, the rolling mill can be the rolling mill disclosed in Chinese Patent Publication No. CN114425564B. Specifically, the tube-throwing section 11 and the rounding section 12 correspond to the contact-biting section of the Chinese patent rolls; the straightening section 17 corresponds to the rotary rolling section of the Chinese patent rolls; the wall-reducing and equalizing section 13 corresponds to the rotary rolling section of the Chinese patent rolls; the compression rotary rolling section 14 corresponds to the equalizing section of the Chinese patent rolls; the contact-biting section 15 corresponds to the equalizing section of the Chinese patent rolls; and the contact section 16 corresponds to the rounding section and tube-throwing section of the Chinese patent rolls. Through the equalizing, equalizing, and rounding sections of the three rolls 3, the three-roll mill achieves effective metal compression and flow during rolling by micro-aggregation and the curved surface of the mandrel body 1, realizing stable rolling of non-ferrous metals. The mandrel body 1 conforms to the plastic characteristics of non-ferrous metals, and the deformation distribution of the designed secondary rolling mandrel curved surface effectively solves the technical problem of the tail triangle at the tube end. During operation, the tube first contacts and bites into the roll 3 of the three-roll mill. Then, the non-ferrous metal tube is driven to rotate and move towards the tube ejection section. The outer surface of the non-ferrous metal tube rotates through the rolling section, the grading section, the leveling section and the rounding section in sequence, and is then ejected from the tube ejection section of the three-roll mill.

[0054] It should be noted that the rolling mill in this application can be other two-roll or three-roll rolling mills in the prior art.

[0055] During processing, the rough tube moves from left to right, the axial position of the mandrel body 1 is fixed, and the roller 3 rotates to roll the rough tube.

[0056] The present invention has been described above by way of example, but the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. Any modifications or variations made based on the present invention shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
