Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of titanium alloy forging processing, in particular to a double-station alternating cooling and shaping device for isothermal forging of titanium alloy forgings. Background Art
[0002] Isothermal forging is a process that utilizes the superplasticity of materials at high temperatures to produce high-quality forgings by precisely controlling temperature and deformation rate. The cooling and shaping device is a key piece of equipment in the isothermal forging process. It is primarily used for rapid cooling and shaping of forgings after forging, ensuring stable microstructure and performance.
[0003] There are many ways to cool and shape titanium alloy forgings, mainly including natural cooling, forced air cooling, water cooling and controlled atmosphere cooling. Among them, water cooling is to immerse the forgings in water or use spray equipment for cooling. It has a fast cooling speed and is widely used in the cooling and shaping of titanium alloy forgings.
[0004] In the existing single processing line of the entire process of isothermal forging cooling and shaping of titanium alloy forgings, the titanium alloy forgings are directly transported to the water-cooling spray chamber in the processing line for cooling after isothermal forging. It takes a certain amount of time to wait for the forgings to cool down, and the next forging can only be cooled after the cooling is completed. The cooling and shaping efficiency is low, and after the cooling is completed, the water-cooling chamber is affected by the high temperature environment and occasionally needs to wait for a period of time for the equipment to cool down. For forgings with high surface quality requirements, it is necessary to ensure that there are no residual impurities or contaminants in the water-cooling chamber. After cooling is completed, it needs to be cleaned and cannot be used during the static or cleaning period, which greatly limits the production capacity of titanium alloy forgings. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides a double-station alternating cooling and shaping device for isothermal forging of titanium alloy forgings, which solves the problem.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solutions: a double-station alternating cooling and shaping device for isothermal forging of titanium alloy forgings, comprising a cooling chassis, a feed conveyor belt, a feed alternating distribution assembly, a placement assembly, and a cooling assembly, wherein: The middle part of the cooling box is a feeding chamber with an opening at the front end, the left and right sides of the cooling box are cooling chambers connected to the feeding chamber, and the feeding conveyor is installed at the front end of the cooling box and corresponds to the feeding chamber; The feed alternating distribution assembly includes a feed mechanism and a distribution roller installed in the feed chamber, wherein the feed mechanism is arranged in the middle of the feed and is used to guide the forgings into the feed chamber; The distribution rollers are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the feeding mechanism and correspond to the cooling chamber, and are used to guide the titanium alloy forgings into the cooling chamber; The placement assembly is installed at the bottom of the cooling chamber and is used to place the titanium alloy forging to be cooled; The cooling assembly is hoisted on the top of the cooling chamber and is used for cooling and shaping the titanium alloy forgings in the cooling chamber.
[0007] Preferably, the distribution roller is longitudinally installed on the floor of the feed chamber, the distribution roller is driven by a motor at the rear end of the cooling chassis, the belt body of the feed conveyor belt is made of high temperature resistant material, and the top surface of the feed conveyor belt is higher than the bottom surface of the feed chamber.
[0008] When the feed conveyor belt transports the titanium alloy forgings to the feed mechanism, because its height is higher than the bottom of the feed chamber and thus higher than the distribution roller, the titanium alloy does not contact the distribution roller when entering the feed chamber, avoiding friction and wear with the distribution roller.
[0009] Preferably, the feeding mechanism includes a fixed seat and a base, the fixed seat is embedded in the bottom surface of the feed chamber and is movably connected to the feed chamber, and a plurality of tightly arranged feed rollers are installed horizontally inside, and the feed rollers are driven by a servo motor installed on the side end of the fixed seat, and a plurality of lifting cylinders corresponding to the fixed seat are installed on the upper end of the base, the lifting cylinders are all facing upward and the cylinder output rods are fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed seat, and a plurality of positioning cylinders with upper ends opening are also installed on the upper end of the base, and a plurality of positioning columns are installed on the bottom of the fixed seat, and the positioning columns correspond vertically to the positioning cylinders and are movably connected.
[0010] After the isothermal forging of the titanium alloy forging is completed, it is transported to the feed chamber through the feed conveyor. At this time, the lifting cylinder is controlled to start, and the lifting cylinder drives the fixed seat to move upward, and the fixed seat drives the feed roller in the fixed seat to move upward. When the feed roller moves upward to the same height as the feed conveyor, it stops. At this time, the servo motor is started, and the feed conveyor transfers the titanium alloy forging to the feed roller. At this time, the feed roller is located at the bottom of the titanium alloy forging and does not contact the titanium alloy forging. The servo motor drives the feed roller to rotate and transports the titanium alloy forging into the feed chamber. During this process, the titanium alloy forging will not contact and wear with the feed.
[0011] Preferably, high-temperature resistant and transparent observation windows are installed at the outer ends of both sides of the cooling chassis corresponding to the cooling chamber, a buffer pad that cooperates with the feed roller is installed on the inner wall of the feed chamber, and a discharge door is hinged at the rear end of the cooling chamber.
[0012] When the titanium alloy forging is cooling, the surface condition of the titanium alloy can be observed and monitored through the observation window, and the adverse condition of the titanium alloy can be detected and remedied in time. The buffer pad can prevent the titanium alloy forging from colliding with the inner wall of the feed chamber due to the feed roller not being closed in time during feeding.
[0013] Preferably, the placement component includes a placement seat, which is embedded in the bottom surface of the cooling chamber. The surface of the placement seat is provided with a plurality of drainage grid openings arranged at equal intervals and passing through the placement seat. The front and rear sides of the placement seat are provided with introduction seats corresponding to the distribution roller.
[0014] The cooling water generated by the spraying in the spray cooling chamber falls on the placement seat, flows along the surface of the placement seat to the drainage grid opening, and then passes through the drainage grid opening.
[0015] Preferably, the introduction seat is horizontally installed on the placement seat, and a plurality of equidistantly arranged spherical bead grooves are opened on the top of the introduction seat. Balls are rotatably connected in the bead grooves, and the tops of the balls are higher than the top surface of the placement seat. A longitudinal baffle is installed on the side of the bottom surface of the cooling chamber away from the distribution roller.
[0016] In the process of the titanium alloy forging being moved laterally into the cooling chamber driven by the distribution shaft, the front and rear sides of the bottom of the titanium alloy forging are in contact with the balls. When the titanium alloy forging moves, the rotation of the balls assists the movement of the titanium alloy forging, reducing the friction of the bottom of the titanium alloy forging when entering the cooling chamber, so that the titanium alloy forging can quickly enter the cooling chamber and avoid friction and wear on the bottom of the titanium alloy forging.
[0017] Preferably, the cooling assembly includes a mounting seat symmetrically installed on the top of the cooling chamber, a plurality of equidistantly arranged spray seats are installed on the bottom of the mounting seat, the bottom surface of the spray seat is inclined toward the center of the placement seat and is provided with a plurality of densely arranged spray holes, a plurality of equidistantly arranged connecting pipes are installed between the mounting seats, a plurality of spray heads corresponding vertically to the placement seats are installed on the bottom of the connecting pipes, an input pump is installed on the top of the cooling chassis, and the input pump is connected to the mounting seat through an input pipe to supply water to the spray seat and the connecting pipe.
[0018] The titanium alloy forging in the cooling chamber is located at the upper end of the placement seat. The input pump of the corresponding cooling chamber is started. The input pump inputs cooling water into the spray seat at the lower end of the mounting seat and the connecting pipe through the input pipe. The spray seat sprays cooling water from both sides toward the center of the titanium alloy forging. At the same time, the spray head at the bottom of the connecting pipe sprays cooling on the titanium alloy forging from the middle downward to cool the titanium alloy forging so that the titanium alloy forging is cooled and shaped.
[0019] Preferably, a water collecting trough is symmetrically installed at the bottom of the cooling chassis at the lower end of the cooling chamber, and the water collecting trough is vertically corresponding to the placement seat. A drain pipe is installed at the side end of the water collecting trough, and the drain pipe passes through the side wall of the cooling chassis and extends outside the cooling chassis.
[0020] The cooling water that passes through the drainage grid drips vertically downward into the water collection tank of the cooling chassis for centralized recovery. The accumulated cooling water in the water collection tank is finally discharged through the drainage pipe for unified treatment. The present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. The present invention uses a cooling chassis with dual cooling chambers. After the isothermal forging of the titanium alloy forging is completed, the titanium alloy forging can be introduced into the vacant cooling chamber on the left or right side through the distribution roller in the feed chamber. Not only can the two titanium alloy forgings be cooled at the same time, but the two cooling chambers can also be used alternately, avoiding the situation where the cooling chamber cannot be used when it is left stationary to cool the equipment or to clean residual impurities in the cooling chamber. The titanium alloy forging can be cooled continuously, thereby improving the cooling efficiency of the titanium alloy forging.
[0021] 2. The present invention can drive the feed roller in the feed chamber to rise and fall through the liftable fixed seat, so that when the titanium alloy forging enters the feed chamber, the feed roller is raised higher than the distribution roller. After the feeding is completed, the feed roller descends to place the titanium alloy forging on the distribution roller, thereby avoiding friction and wear between the titanium alloy forging and the distribution roller in the process of entering the feed chamber, and friction and wear between the titanium alloy forging and the feed roller in the process of being introduced into the cooling chamber through the distribution roller, thereby ensuring product quality.
[0022] 3. The present invention can evenly spray cooling water on the titanium alloy forgings through multiple spray seats on the mounting seats on both sides of the cooling chamber and multiple spray heads in the middle, so that the cooling effect of the titanium alloy forgings is uniform, and the sprayed water will fall into the water collection tank after passing through the drainage grid opening on the placement seat, and then be discharged uniformly through the drainage pipe, and will not accumulate and overflow in the cooling chamber to affect the surrounding environment of the equipment.
[0023] Of course, any product implementing the present invention does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0026] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0027] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "opening", "upper", "lower", "thickness", "top", "middle", "length", "inside", "around" and the like indicating orientation or positional relationship are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the components or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as limiting the present invention. Example 1
[0028] See also Figures 1-10 The embodiment of the present invention provides a technical solution: a double-station alternating cooling and shaping device for isothermal forging of titanium alloy forgings, comprising a cooling chassis 1, a feed conveyor belt 2, a feed alternating distribution component 3, a placement component 4, and a cooling component 5, wherein: The middle part of the cooling box 1 is a feeding chamber 13 with an opening at the front end, and the left and right sides of the cooling box 1 are cooling chambers 14 connected to the feeding chamber 13. The feeding conveyor belt 2 is installed at the front end of the cooling box 1 and corresponds to the feeding chamber 13; The feed alternating distribution assembly 3 includes a feed mechanism 31 and a distribution roller 32 installed in the feed chamber 13. The feed mechanism 31 is arranged in the middle of the feed and is used to guide the forgings into the feed chamber 13. The distribution rollers 32 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the feeding mechanism 31 and correspond to the cooling chamber 14, and are used to guide the titanium alloy forgings into the cooling chamber 14; The placement assembly 4 is installed at the bottom of the cooling chamber 14 and is used to place the titanium alloy forging to be cooled; The cooling assembly 5 is hoisted on the top of the cooling chamber 14 and is used to cool and shape the titanium alloy forgings in the cooling chamber 14 .
[0029] Please refer to the attached Figure 1-8 The distribution roller 32 is longitudinally installed on the ground inside the feed chamber 13. The distribution roller 32 is driven by the motor at the rear end of the cooling chassis 1. The belt body of the feed conveyor belt 2 is made of high-temperature resistant material. The belt body of the conveyor belt is specifically a stainless steel belt, which can withstand high temperatures above 1000°C and is suitable for high temperatures of 930°C to 970°C after isothermal forging of titanium alloys. The top surface of the feed conveyor belt 2 is higher than the bottom surface of the feed chamber 13.
[0030] In this embodiment, when the feeding conveyor belt 2 transports the titanium alloy forgings to the feeding mechanism 31, since its height is higher than the bottom surface of the feeding chamber 13 and thus higher than the distribution roller 32, the titanium alloy does not contact the distribution roller 32 when entering the feeding chamber 13, thereby avoiding friction and wear with the distribution roller 32.
[0031] Furthermore, the feeding mechanism 31 includes a fixed seat 312 and a base 315. The fixed seat 312 is embedded in the bottom surface of the feeding chamber 13 and is movably connected to the feeding chamber 13. A plurality of closely arranged feeding rollers 311 are installed laterally inside. The feeding rollers 311 are driven by a servo motor 313 installed on the side end of the fixed seat 312. A plurality of lifting cylinders 314 corresponding to the fixed seat 312 are installed on the upper end of the base 315. The lifting cylinders 314 are all facing upward and the cylinder output rods are fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed seat 312. A plurality of positioning cylinders 316 with open upper ends are also installed on the upper end of the base 315. A plurality of positioning columns 317 are installed at the bottom of the fixed seat 312. The positioning columns 317 correspond vertically to the positioning cylinders 316 and are movably connected.
[0032] In this embodiment, after the isothermal forging of the titanium alloy forging is completed, it is transported to the feed chamber 13 through the feed conveyor 2. At this time, the lifting cylinder 314 is controlled to start, and the lifting cylinder 314 drives the fixed seat 312 to move upward. The fixed seat 312 drives the feed roller 311 in the fixed seat 312 to move upward. When the feed roller 311 moves upward to the same height as the feed conveyor 2, it stops. At this time, the servo motor 313 is started, and the feed conveyor 2 transfers the titanium alloy forging to the feed roller 311. At this time, the feed roller 311 is located at the bottom of the titanium alloy forging and does not contact the titanium alloy forging. The servo motor 313 drives the feed roller 311 to rotate and transport the titanium alloy forging to the feed chamber 13. During this process, the titanium alloy forging will not be in contact with the feed and wear.
[0033] It should be noted that the roller shafts of the feed roller 311 and the distribution roller 32 that are in direct contact with the titanium alloy forging are all made of high-temperature resistant stainless steel.
[0034] In actual use, after one cooling chamber 14 completes the cooling and shaping operation, it is necessary to clean the residual impurities generated by the cooling in the cooling chamber 14. At this time, the cooling chamber 14 cannot be used. When the next titanium alloy forging is transported to the feed chamber 13, the rotation direction of the distribution roller 32 is controlled to guide the titanium alloy forging into another cooling chamber 14 for cooling and shaping. When the other cooling chamber 14 is cooled and cleaned, the first cooling chamber 14 has been cleaned and the cooling and shaping of the titanium alloy forging can continue. This process is repeated, and the two cooling chambers 14 are used alternately to cool the titanium alloy forgings uninterruptedly.
[0035] Furthermore, high-temperature resistant and transparent observation windows 12 made of high-purity silica are installed at the outer ends of both sides of the cooling chassis 1 and the positions corresponding to the cooling chamber 14. A buffer pad 17 cooperating with the feed roller 311 is installed on the inner wall of the feed chamber 13. The buffer pad 17 is made of quartz fiber and filled with aramid fiber inside. The rear end of the cooling chamber 14 is hinged with a discharge door 15.
[0036] Specifically, when the titanium alloy forging is cooling, the surface state of the titanium alloy can be observed and monitored through the observation window 12, and the adverse state of the titanium alloy can be monitored and remedied in time. The buffer pad 17 can prevent the titanium alloy forging from colliding with the inner wall of the feed chamber 13 due to the feed roller 311 not being shut down in time during feeding.
[0037] Furthermore, the placement component 4 includes a placement seat 41, which is embedded in the bottom surface of the cooling chamber 14. The surface of the placement seat 41 is provided with a plurality of drainage grid openings 42 that are evenly arranged and pass through the placement seat 41. The front and rear sides of the placement seat 41 are equipped with introduction seats 43 corresponding to the distribution roller 32.
[0038] Specifically, the cooling water generated by spraying in the spray cooling chamber 14 falls on the placement seat 41 , flows along the surface of the placement seat 41 to the drainage grid opening 42 , and then passes through the drainage grid opening 42 .
[0039] The inlet seat 43 is horizontally installed on the placement seat 41. A plurality of equidistantly arranged spherical ball grooves 432 are provided on the top of the inlet seat 43. Balls 431 are rotatably connected in the ball grooves 432. The top of the ball 431 is higher than the top surface of the placement seat 41. A longitudinal baffle 16 is installed on the side of the bottom surface of the cooling chamber 14 away from the distribution roller 32.
[0040] In this embodiment, when the titanium alloy forging is moved laterally into the cooling chamber 14 driven by the distribution shaft, the front and rear sides of the bottom of the titanium alloy forging are in contact with the ball 431. When the titanium alloy forging moves, the ball 431 rotates to assist the movement of the titanium alloy forging, thereby reducing the friction of the bottom of the titanium alloy forging when entering the cooling chamber 14, so that the titanium alloy forging can quickly enter the cooling chamber 14 and avoid friction and wear on the bottom of the titanium alloy forging. Example 2
[0041] In this embodiment, a cooling assembly 5 for spray cooling is provided in the cooling chassis 1. Please refer to the attached Figure 9 、 Figure 10 The cooling assembly 5 includes a mounting seat 51 symmetrically installed on the top of the cooling chamber 14, and a plurality of equidistantly arranged spray seats 54 are installed at the bottom of the mounting seat 51. The bottom surface of the spray seat 54 is inclined toward the center of the placement seat 41 and is provided with a plurality of densely arranged spray holes 541. A plurality of equidistantly arranged connecting pipes 52 are installed between the mounting seats 51, and a plurality of spray heads 55 corresponding to the placement seats 41 are installed at the bottom of the connecting pipes 52. An input pump 11 is installed on the top of the cooling chassis 1, and the input pump 11 is connected to the mounting seat 51 through an input pipe 53 to supply water to the spray seat 54 and the connecting pipe 52.
[0042] In this embodiment, the titanium alloy forging in the cooling chamber 14 is located at the upper end of the placement seat 41, and the input pump 11 corresponding to the cooling chamber 14 is started. The input pump 11 inputs cooling water through the input pipe 53 into the spray seat 54 at the lower end of the mounting seat 51 and the connecting pipe 52. The spray seat 54 sprays cooling water from both sides toward the center of the titanium alloy forging. At the same time, the spray head 55 at the bottom of the connecting pipe 52 sprays cooling on the titanium alloy forging from the middle downward, so that the titanium alloy forging is cooled and shaped.
[0043] Furthermore, a water collecting trough 6 is symmetrically installed at the bottom of the cooling chassis 1 at the lower end of the cooling chamber 14. The water collecting trough 6 is vertically corresponding to the placement seat 41. A drain pipe 61 is installed at the side end of the water collecting trough 6. The drain pipe 61 passes through the side wall of the cooling chassis 1 and extends to the outside of the cooling chassis 1.
[0044] In this embodiment, the cooling water passing through the drain grid opening 42 drips vertically downward into the water collection tank 6 of the cooling chassis 1 for centralized recovery. The accumulated cooling water in the water collection tank 6 is finally discharged through the drain pipe 61 for unified treatment. The use and function of the double-station alternating cooling and shaping device for isothermal forging of titanium alloy forgings provided by the present invention are as follows: After the isothermal forging of the titanium alloy forging is completed, it is transported to the feeding chamber 13 through the feeding conveyor 2. At this time, the lifting cylinder 314 is controlled to start, and the lifting cylinder 314 drives the fixed seat 312 to move upward. The fixed seat 312 drives the feeding roller 311 in the fixed seat 312 to move upward. When the feeding roller 311 moves upward to the same height as the feeding conveyor 2, it stops. At this time, the servo motor 313 is started, and the feeding conveyor 2 transfers the titanium alloy forging to the feeding roller 311. The servo motor 313 drives the feeding roller 311 rotates to transport the titanium alloy forging into the feeding chamber 13, then the servo motor 313 is turned off and the lifting cylinder 314 is controlled to drive the fixing seat 312 to descend, and the fixing seat 312 drives the titanium alloy forging on the fixing seat 312 to descend. When the fixing seat 312 descends below the distribution roller 32, the titanium alloy forging is placed on the upper end of the distribution roller 32. At this time, the motor of the distribution roller 32 is started to drive the distribution roller 32 to rotate, and the distribution roller 32 drives the titanium alloy forging to move left or right into the cooling chamber 14; The titanium alloy forging is driven by the redistribution roller 32 to enter the cooling chamber 14. The titanium alloy forging enters the cooling chamber 14 and stops after contacting the baffle 16. At this time, the titanium alloy forging is located at the upper end of the placement seat 41. The input pump 11 corresponding to the cooling chamber 14 is started. The input pump 11 inputs cooling water into the spray seat 54 at the lower end of the mounting seat 51 and the connecting pipe 52 through the input pipe 53. The spray seat 54 sprays cooling water from both sides toward the center of the titanium alloy forging. At the same time, the spray head 55 at the bottom of the connecting pipe 52 sprays the titanium alloy forging from the middle downward to cool the titanium alloy forging. The sprayed cooling water falls on the placement seat 41 and then passes through the drainage grid port 42 and finally falls into the sump 6. It is discharged uniformly through the drainage pipe 61 for treatment. After the cooling of the titanium alloy forging is completed, the input pump 11 is turned off, and the discharge door 15 at the rear end of the cooling chamber 14 is opened to take out the titanium alloy forging, completing the cooling and shaping of the titanium alloy forging. After one cooling chamber 14 completes the cooling and shaping operation, it is necessary to clean the residual impurities generated by the cooling in the cooling chamber 14. At this time, the cooling chamber 14 cannot be used. When the titanium alloy forging is transported to the feed chamber 13 with the next titanium alloy forging, the rotation direction of the distribution roller 32 is controlled to guide the titanium alloy forging into another cooling chamber 14 for cooling and shaping. When the other cooling chamber 14 is cooled and cleaned, the first cooling chamber 14 has been cleaned and the cooling and shaping of the titanium alloy forging can continue. This process is repeated, and the two cooling chambers 14 can be used alternately to cool the titanium alloy forging continuously.
