Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of steel pipe grinding technology, and in particular relates to a steel pipe inner wall grinding device. Background Technology
[0002] Steel pipes are hollow, long tubes made from steel through specific processes. They are widely used in fluid transportation, structural support, and other fields. When the inner wall of a steel pipe comes into contact with air, oxygen and iron react to form rust, and the pipe also reacts with moisture in the environment to form an electrolyte solution, accelerating electrochemical corrosion. Based on the above oxidation, the inner wall of the steel pipe needs to be ground before leaving the factory. It is necessary to spray a corrosion-resistant layer after grinding. Grinding can remove the loose oxide layer on the inner wall of the steel pipe, making the surface of the steel pipe smoother, reducing the risk of corrosion, reducing fluid transportation resistance, improving transportation efficiency, and providing a good foundation for subsequent anti-corrosion coating and other treatments, thereby enhancing the overall performance and service life of the steel pipe. For example, the authorization announcement number CN214264939U discloses a steel pipe inner wall grinding device.
[0003] Currently, due to the length limitations of long steel pipes produced by steel mills, existing steel pipe inner wall grinding devices are unable to reliably penetrate deep into the steel pipe for comprehensive and effective grinding. Therefore, workers need to fix the grinding tools on a long rod and then manually insert the grinding tools into the long steel pipe to perform manual grinding operations on the inner wall of the long steel pipe. However, since it is impossible to clearly observe the specific condition of the inner wall of the steel pipe, the grinding process is prone to omissions. Moreover, manual operation is time-consuming and labor-intensive, which not only reduces the reliability and efficiency of steel pipe inner wall grinding but also increases the labor intensity of workers.
[0004] In addition, during the production of long steel pipes, due to deviations in the production process and the influence of environmental factors, uneven thickness may easily occur on the inner wall. However, the existing grinding equipment cannot effectively solve this problem, resulting in quality defects in the long steel pipes leaving the factory, which affects the strength stability, performance and lifespan of the long steel pipes.
[0005] We propose a steel pipe inner wall grinding device to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

The two ends of the positioning spring are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed end of the telescopic rod and the outer wall of the positioning wheel, respectively.
[0019] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of a steel pipe inner wall grinding device are:
[0020] With its walking mechanism, rotating cylinder, rotating mechanism, and high-temperature resistant grinding steel wire brush ring, when a long steel pipe needs internal wall grinding and cleaning, the steel pipe internal wall grinding device is first moved to the working position. Then, the control mechanism causes the first electric push rod and the arc-shaped positioning block to stably limit the long steel pipe to be ground. Then, the control program pre-installed on the touch screen computer and the PLC controller control the internal wall rotating mechanism and the walking mechanism to work automatically, driving the high-temperature resistant grinding steel wire brush ring to rotate and automatically walk along the internal wall of the long steel pipe to be ground, realizing a comprehensive and reliable grinding treatment of the internal wall of the long steel pipe. This mechanism enables the steel pipe internal wall grinding device to have the function of automatic and efficient grinding and cleaning of the steel pipe internal wall. Moreover, the grinding device is not affected by the length of the steel pipe. At the same time, the steel pipe internal wall grinding device is small in size, which effectively improves the convenience of use of the steel pipe grinding device, and can effectively improve the reliability and efficiency of steel pipe internal wall grinding processing, while reducing the labor intensity of workers.
[0021] With its walking mechanism and inner wall inspection mechanism, the walking mechanism drives the rotating cylinder to automatically move along the inner wall of the long steel pipe to be ground. Meanwhile, the multi-frequency microwave inspection probe and night-vision camera in the inner wall inspection mechanism can rotate and comprehensively scan the inner wall of the long steel pipe. This not only provides a clear understanding of the distribution of oxide impurities on the inner wall of the steel pipe, but also allows for timely detection of uneven thickness on the inner wall. This improves the effectiveness of subsequent grinding processes and ensures that uneven thickness on the inner wall can be repaired promptly and accurately. This enhances the reliability and effectiveness of the steel pipe inner wall grinding device, effectively improving the quality of the steel pipes leaving the factory, while also guaranteeing the strength stability, performance, and lifespan of the steel pipes.
[0022] Through the established internal wall inspection and repair mechanisms, when the internal wall inspection mechanism detects uneven thickness areas on the inner wall of the long steel pipe to be ground, the PLC controller controls the internal wall repair mechanism to automatically and efficiently repair these uneven areas. After the repair is completed, the PLC controller then controls the retraction of multi-stage electric push rods. Once the multi-stage electric push rods have retracted, the second electric push rod also moves the rubber positioning block downwards, and the pipeline robot restarts, completing the subsequent internal wall grinding process of the long steel pipe. During the retraction of the moving end of the rod, the multi-frequency microwave inspection probe of the inner wall inspection mechanism checks the thickness uniformity of the newly repaired position again. If it is still too thick, the overly thick position can be repaired by rotating and grinding with a high-temperature resistant steel wire brush ring. If it is still too thin, it indicates that the long steel pipe has a quality defect. The staff will mark the steel pipe as unqualified in time to prevent unqualified steel pipes from leaving the factory. This mechanism enables the steel pipe inner wall grinding device to have the function of checking and repairing uneven thickness of the inner wall of the steel pipe, thereby effectively improving the quality of the steel pipes leaving the factory.

[0037] The first electric actuator 4, alarm 52, rotary motor 65, pipeline robot 74, third electric actuator 92, multi-stage electric actuator 73, heating coil 912, and second electric actuator 75 are electrically connected to the output of PLC controller 51 via wires and wire harness connectors 76.

Mobile power supply 53 can provide stable power to the above-mentioned electrical equipment. The above-mentioned electrical equipment and electrical connections are all existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.
[0038] The operating principle of the present invention is described as follows: When a long steel pipe needs to be ground on its inner wall, firstly, a steel pipe inner wall grinding device that matches the inner diameter of the long steel pipe to be ground is selected. Then, the steel pipe inner wall grinding device is moved to one side end of the long steel pipe to be ground by the roller 3. The first electric push rod 4 is extended by the control program pre-installed on the touch screen computer 55 and the PLC controller 51, so that the first electric push rod 4 pushes the arc-shaped positioning block 10 to squeeze the outer wall of the side end of the long steel pipe to be ground, and stably limits the long steel pipe to be ground on the ground.
[0039] Then, the control program pre-installed on the touch screen computer 55 and the PLC controller 51 control the inner wall inspection mechanism 8, the rotating mechanism 6, and the traveling mechanism 7 to work automatically. After the pipe robot 74 of the traveling mechanism 7 is started, it automatically pushes the inner wall inspection mechanism 8, the rotating cylinder 2, and the rotating mechanism 6 into the interior of the long steel pipe to be ground. Multiple positioning wheels 18 contact the inner wall of the long steel pipe, and with the elasticity of the positioning spring 19 and the cooperation of the telescopic rod 17, the rotating cylinder 2 can be adjusted to the central axis of the long steel pipe to be ground, ensuring the inner wall of the long steel pipe is ground. To ensure the accuracy of repair and inspection work, the rotary motor 65 of the rotating mechanism 6 is started under control. The rotary motor 65 drives the extension rod to rotate through the transmission gear 66 and the internal gear ring 67, and drives the rotating cylinder 2 to rotate. After the rotating cylinder 2 rotates, it drives the high-temperature resistant grinding steel wire brush ring 14 to rotate through the bolt 13 and the connecting ring 11. The rotating high-temperature resistant grinding steel wire brush ring 14 can comprehensively and efficiently grind and clean the oxide impurities on the inner wall of the long steel pipe, ensuring the cleanliness of the inner wall of the long steel pipe. Moreover, the grinding of the inner wall of the steel pipe is not limited by the length of the steel pipe.
[0040] While the steel pipe inner wall grinding device is working, the night camera 83 is rotated by the rotating cylinder 2 and the tee pipe 81. The night camera 83 then captures a clear image of the inner wall of the long steel pipe to be ground, which is transmitted to the touchscreen computer 55. The touchscreen computer 55 plays the images captured by the night camera 83, allowing staff to monitor the distribution of oxide impurities on the inner wall of the long steel pipe in real time. The touchscreen computer 55 and PLC controller 51 can also control the speed of the pipe robot 74 in a timely manner. For example, if there are too many oxide impurities in a certain area of the inner wall of the long steel pipe, the working... By reducing the travel speed of the pipeline robot 74, the rotating high-temperature resistant grinding wire brush ring 14 has sufficient time to reliably grind and clean the area, ensuring the grinding effect on the inner wall of the long steel pipe to be ground. This mechanism enables the steel pipe inner wall grinding device to have the function of automatic and efficient grinding and cleaning of the inner wall of the steel pipe. Moreover, the grinding device is not affected by the length of the steel pipe. At the same time, the steel pipe inner wall grinding device is small in size, which effectively improves the ease of use of the steel pipe grinding device, and can effectively improve the reliability and efficiency of the steel pipe inner wall grinding process, while reducing the labor intensity of the workers.
[0041] While the steel pipe inner wall grinding device is working, the multi-frequency microwave inspection probe 82 is also rotated by the rotating cylinder 2 and the tee pipe 81, and scans the inner wall of the long steel pipe to be tested. The inspection results are transmitted to the main body 84 of the microwave inspection instrument through the wiring harness and wiring harness connector 76. The multi-frequency microwave inspection probe 82 emits microwaves to the inner wall of the steel pipe. Since the rotating cylinder 2 is positioned at the axis of the pipe, the distance between the microwaves emitted by the multi-frequency microwave inspection probe 82 at different angles and the inner wall of the long steel pipe to be ground is consistent, ensuring the accuracy of the multi-frequency microwave inspection probe 82 in inspecting the uneven thickness of the inner wall of the long steel pipe to be ground. Specifically, the multi-frequency microwave inspection probe 82 emits microwaves to the inner wall of the steel pipe, based on the microwaves in different media... Based on the principle of different propagation characteristics, when microwaves encounter a change in the thickness of the inner wall of the long steel pipe to be ground, the signal will change due to reflection, refraction, scattering and absorption, such as changes in the amplitude, phase and frequency of the signal. Then, the receiving module in the multi-frequency microwave inspection probe 82 receives these changed signals and transmits them to the main body 84 of the microwave inspection instrument. After processing and analysis by the main body 84, the relevant electrical signals representing the abnormal thickness of the inner wall of the long steel pipe to be ground are fed back to the PLC controller 51. After receiving these electrical signals related to the abnormal characteristics, the PLC controller 51 will control the alarm 52 to sound an alarm. The alarm 52 will remind the staff that there is an uneven thickness of the inner wall of the long steel pipe to be ground.
[0042] Simultaneously, the automatic movement of the pipeline robot 74 is paused. Then, the PLC controller 51 controls the second electric push rod 75, the third electric push rod 92, and the heating coil 912 to start. The second electric push rod 75 pushes the rubber positioning block 77 to contact the inner wall of the long steel pipe to be ground, achieving reliable positioning of the pipeline robot 74 and preventing the pipeline robot 74 from shaking during the rotation repair process of the repair rod 95. After the heating coil 912 is powered on, it can heat up the uneven thickness areas of the inner wall of the long steel pipe to be ground, softening the uneven thickness areas and reducing the subsequent repair resistance of the repair rod 95, thus ensuring the repair effect and speed. After the third electric push rod 92 starts, it pushes the connecting block 9... 3. The infrared ranging sensor 910 also monitors the distance between itself and the connecting block 93 in real time, and converts the distance value into an electrical signal and sends it to the PLC controller 51. When the infrared ranging sensor 910 checks that the distance between itself and the connecting block 93 meets the distance threshold preset by the PLC controller 51, the PLC controller 51 promptly controls the moving end of the second electric push rod 75 to stop moving. During the movement of the connecting block 93, under the constraint of the adjusting block 98 and the positioning rod 97, the repair rod 95 will unfold. After unfolding, the top of the repair rod 95 contacts the inner wall of the qualified area of the long steel pipe to be ground. Then, the multi-stage electric push rod 73 is started by the controller of the touch screen computer 55 and the PLC controller 51. When the moving end of the multi-stage electric push rod 73 extends, it pushes the rotating cylinder 2, which is in a rotating state, to move through the rotating mechanism 6. The rotating cylinder 2 drives the inner wall repair mechanism 9 to approach the position where the thickness of the inner wall of the long steel pipe to be ground is uneven, which is found by the multi-frequency microwave inspection probe 82. The rotating and reliably positioned repair rod 95 can push the softened protruding part of the heating coil 912 to the recessed area to compensate for the lack of material in this area and ensure that the thickness of the inner wall of the long steel pipe to be ground is uniform. After the inner wall of the long steel pipe is repaired, the PLC controller 51 controls the multi-stage electric push rod 73 to retract. After the multi-stage electric push rod 73 retracts, the second electric push rod 75 also drives the rubber positioning block 77 to move down and controls the pipeline robot 74 to start again. After completing the subsequent inner wall grinding of the long steel pipe to be ground, during the retraction of the moving end of the multi-stage electric push rod 73, the multi-frequency microwave inspection probe 82 of the inner wall inspection mechanism 8 checks the thickness uniformity of the just-repaired position again. If there is still an excessive thickness, the excessively thick position can be repaired by grinding with the rotating high-temperature resistant grinding wire brush ring 14. If there is still an excessive thinness, it indicates that the long steel pipe has a quality defect. The staff will mark the steel pipe as unqualified in time to prevent unqualified steel pipes from leaving the factory. This mechanism enables the steel pipe inner wall grinding device to have the function of checking and repairing the uneven thickness of the inner wall of the steel pipe, thereby effectively improving the quality of the steel pipes leaving the factory and ensuring the strength stability, effect and service life of the steel pipes.
[0043] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention.
