Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of equipment for cooling hot-rolled seamless steel pipes, in particular to an in-line cooling system for the inner wall of a large-diameter hot-rolled seamless steel pipe. Background Art

[0002] Hot-rolled seamless steel pipes play a key role in many industrial applications, such as oil drilling, mechanical structural components, and heat exchangers. During the production process, after the steel pipe is rolled at high temperature, it needs to go through a cooling process to obtain the required mechanical properties and microstructure. Traditional cooling methods generally focus on cooling the outer wall while ignoring the cooling of the inner wall. This uneven cooling can lead to a large temperature difference between the inner and outer walls of the steel pipe, causing residual stress and even microcracks, ultimately affecting the overall quality and performance of the product. In the existing technology, although some cooling systems consider cooling the inner wall of the steel pipe, they mostly rely on external spray or immersion cooling. However, these methods often have difficulty in uniformly controlling the inner wall temperature of the steel pipe, resulting in unstable cooling effect and steel pipe quality. There are common problems such as uneven distribution of cooling medium, low cooling efficiency, and difficulty in controlling the cooling process. In addition, traditional shaft-end spray cooling equipment often has difficulty adapting to changes in pipe diameter and differences in the internal conditions of the steel pipe, resulting in the formation of cooling dead zones on the inner wall of the steel pipe, reducing the cooling effect.

[0003] For example, the Chinese utility model patent with publication number CN212633854U discloses an inner wall cooling system for an online cooling process of a hot-rolled seamless steel pipe, the system comprising an automatic control device, a plurality of water spraying devices and at least one air blowing device; the air blowing device comprises a main body provided with an air inlet and a plurality of first nozzles, the center line of each nozzle in the first nozzle group of the plurality of first nozzles and the center line of each nozzle in the second nozzle group respectively have a first angle and a second angle with the horizontal plane, the first angle is greater than the second angle, and the air inlet is connected to a compressed air source; the water spraying device comprises a lifting mechanism and a pipe body arranged thereon, one end of the pipe body is connected to a diversion and water collecting pipe, and the other end is provided with a nozzle, the nozzle has a plurality of second nozzles, and the plurality of second nozzles are respectively arranged at different angles to the pipe body; the automatic control device is electrically connected to the compressed air source, the nozzle and the lifting mechanism respectively.

[0004] The cooling system includes an automatic control device, multiple water spraying devices and an air blowing device. However, the device still has certain defects; Since the application scenario is online cooling of hot-rolled seamless steel pipes, the method of water spraying at the shaft end is adopted. For hot-rolled seamless steel pipes with larger sizes and longer lengths, this cooling method will cause differences in cooling speed and uneven cooling in both the circumferential direction and the length direction.

[0005] Therefore, we propose a kind of for large diameter hot-rolled seamless steel pipe inner wall surface of the extension type cooling system to solve the problems raised in the above background. SUMMARY

[0010] Preferably, the end of the branch pipe is provided with an internal thread, and the multiple jet nozzle group is threadedly installed on the branch pipe.

[0011] With the above structure design, the internal thread at the end of the branch pipe is threadedly connected with the multiple jet nozzle group, so that different specifications of nozzles can be replaced to adapt to the cooling needs of different inner diameters of the steel pipe body, and ensure that the cooling medium injection angle and range match the inner wall size.

[0012] Preferably, the lifting translation mechanism and the center main pipe are installed in a linkage structure, and a driving assembly for driving the axial movement of the center main pipe is installed on the lifting translation mechanism.

[0026] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: the in-line cooling system for the inner wall of large-diameter hot-rolled seamless steel pipe: 1. Improve cooling uniformity and ensure the stability of steel pipe quality The multi-jet nozzle group is evenly distributed along the axial direction of the central main pipe, and the nozzles at the same axial position are annularly installed on the branch pipe. The radial adjustment component of the lifting and translation mechanism drives the nozzle group to move radially, so that the cooling medium forms a uniform coverage layer in both the circumferential and axial directions of the inner wall of the steel pipe body, avoiding the cooling dead zone caused by traditional axial end water spraying. The central main pipe can be moved axially along the steel pipe body by the drive component, further ensuring uniform cooling throughout the entire length, reducing residual stress and microcracks caused by the temperature difference between the inner and outer walls, and improving the dimensional accuracy and mechanical properties of the steel pipe body. 2. Enhance equipment applicability and flexibility and reduce production costs The center main pipe adopts a multi-module splicing structure, and can be flexibly adjusted according to the length of the steel pipe body through cooperation of the inner thread at the tail end and the pipe plug with the outer thread. The inner thread design at the end of the branch pipe makes the multi-jet nozzle group convenient to replace, and adapts to steel pipe bodies with different inner diameters. The lifting and translating mechanism can drive the center main pipe to accurately extend into steel pipe bodies of different specifications, realize processing of multiple sizes of steel pipes by one set of equipment, and reduce equipment investment and occupied space. 3. Realize efficient energy saving and safe control, and optimize production process The cooling medium recovery system below the steel pipe body processes the used medium and then circulates and delivers it to the center main pipe, reducing resource consumption. The center main pipe is made of stainless steel and is additionally provided with a high-temperature-resistant anticorrosive coating, prolonging the service life of the equipment. The limit switch and emergency stop button of the lifting and translating mechanism guarantee operation safety, and the sensor beside the conveying roller is linked with the automatic control device to realize automation of the cooling process, reduce manual intervention, shorten the cooling cycle, and improve production efficiency.

[0027] 4. The cleaning mechanism is quickly disassembled and assembled through cooperation of the convex strip of the connecting column and the clamping groove of the clamping column, and the threaded connection of the threaded column and the center main pipe and the locking structure of the threaded rod and the limiting nut ensure stable installation. When the cleaning ring extends into or exits the steel pipe body along with the center main pipe, it can efficiently scrape off the inner wall scale and impurities, avoid the influence of impurities on the uniformity of the cooling medium injection, and facilitate replacement of the cleaning ring according to the wear condition, guaranteeing long-term stable operation of the cooling system and improving the cooling quality of the inner wall of the steel pipe.

[0028] In summary: The in-penetration cooling and annular arrangement of the multi-jet nozzle group enable the cooling medium to uniformly and effectively cover the inner wall surface of the steel pipe body, so as to realize faster heat transfer and temperature reduction. This efficient cooling process helps to reduce the cooling time and improve production efficiency. Uniform cooling helps to prevent the temperature difference between the inner and outer walls of the steel pipe body from being too large, thereby reducing the internal stress and deformation caused by the temperature difference, which is very important for improving the dimensional accuracy and mechanical properties of the steel pipe body, and finally significantly improves the overall quality of the product. The lifting and translating mechanism of the center main pipe enables the system to adapt to steel pipe bodies of different diameters and lengths, increasing the applicability and flexibility of the equipment. This design enables the same cooling system to process steel pipe bodies of various specifications, reducing the need for multiple sets of equipment, thereby saving equipment investment and land occupation.

[0041] A sensor for detecting the position of the steel pipe body 4 is installed beside the conveying roller 3, and the sensor is installed to be electrically connected with the automatic control device.

[0042] After the sensor beside the conveying roller 3 detects that the steel pipe body 4 has reached the cooling position, it transmits the signal to the automatic control device, and the control device starts the lifting and translation mechanism to ensure that the central main pipe 1 is extended into the steel pipe body 4 in time to start cooling.

[0043] The multi-jet nozzle groups 5 are evenly installed along the axial direction of the central main pipe 1 , and the multi-jet nozzle groups 5 at the same axial position are annularly installed on the branch pipe 2 .

[0049] A cooling medium recovery system is installed below the steel pipe body 4 , and the recovery system is installed in a circulating connection with the cooling medium supply end of the central main pipeline 1 .

[0050] The cooling medium recovery system below the steel pipe body 4 collects the used cooling medium, and after treatment, circulates it to the supply end of the central main pipeline 1, thereby realizing the reuse of the cooling medium and reducing consumption.

[0051] The right end of the central main pipe 1 is equipped with a cleaning mechanism 6, which includes a connecting column 601, a convex strip 602, a limiting ring 603, a clamping column 604, a clamping groove 605, a reinforcing column 606, a cleaning ring 607, a threaded column 608, a threaded rod 609 and a limiting nut 610.

The cleaning mechanism 6 is connected to the central main pipe 1 through the connecting column 601. The convex strip 602 on the outer side of the connecting column 601 cooperates with the clamping groove 605 of the clamping column 604 to realize the positioning and installation of the clamping column 604; the clamping column 604 fixes the cleaning ring 607 through the reinforcing column 606. When the central main pipe 1 extends into or out of the steel pipe body 4, the cleaning ring 607 can scrape and clean the oxide scale and impurities on the inner wall of the steel pipe; the limiting ring 603 limits the installation position of the clamping column 604 to ensure that the cleaning ring 607 fits tightly against the inner wall of the steel pipe.

[0053] The above cooling system can be used to perform immersion cooling on the inner wall of a large-diameter hot-rolled seamless steel pipe, comprising the following steps: Step 1: When the steel pipe body 4 is transported to the cooling zone via the conveyor rollers 3, the sensor in the system detects the presence of the steel pipe body 4 and triggers the cooling system to start; Step 2: Based on the position data of the steel pipe body 4, the lifting and translation mechanism is activated, and the central main pipe 1 is driven vertically to a preset height by a precisely controlled servo motor to align with the inlet of the steel pipe body 4; at the same time, the horizontal translation mechanism is activated to ensure that the central main pipe 1 is accurately aligned with the central axis of the steel pipe body 4; Step 3: When the central main pipe 1 is inserted into the steel pipe body 4, the cleaning ring 607 can scrape and clean the oxide scale and impurities on the inner wall of the steel pipe; the limiting ring 603 limits the installation position of the clamping column 604 to ensure that the cleaning ring 607 fits tightly against the inner wall of the steel pipe; Step 4: The central main pipe 1 is controlled by the lifting mechanism and smoothly extends into the interior of the steel pipe body 4.

These data are fed back to the control system in real time, and the water pressure in the pipeline is dynamically adjusted according to the thermal state of the steel pipe body 4 to ensure sufficient flow and avoid local overcooling or insufficient cooling; Step 6: The cooling water is collected through a recovery system at the bottom of the steel pipe body 4, including a filter and a temperature regulating device, and the treated cooling medium is recycled again; Step 7: When the temperature sensor detects that the temperature has reached the preset value, the valve in the pipeline is closed, and the steel pipe body 4 is cooled and sent to the next area via the conveyor roller 3; the central main pipeline 1 is automatically withdrawn to the initial position, and the lifting and translation mechanism is reset; the system simultaneously performs self-inspection and cleaning to ensure that the cooling operation of the next steel pipe body 4 can be started immediately; Step 7: Start with the next steel pipe body 4 and repeat the above steps.

[0054] The infrared sensor detects whether the steel pipe body 4 reaches the cooling table, and sends a signal to the control unit after detection; the infrared sensor has high sensitivity and can accurately detect the arrival of the steel pipe body 4, ensuring timely startup of the system.

[0055] After receiving the signal from the detection unit, it instructs the lifting mechanism to work; the control unit is composed of a PLC controller with high precision and high reliability, and can realize automatic control of the entire cooling process through programming.

The multi-jet nozzle groups 5 are made of wear-resistant materials to ensure that they will not be blocked during long-term use; the spray angle of the multi-jet nozzle group 5 is adjustable to ensure that the entire inner wall surface is covered; the design of the multi-jet nozzle group 5 takes into account the distribution of liquid flow and pressure to ensure that the sprayed cooling water evenly covers the inner wall surface.

[0059] The temperature detection unit monitors the inner wall temperature of the steel pipe body 4 in real time, and transmits the data to the control unit; the temperature detection unit adopts a high-precision temperature sensor, which can quickly respond to temperature changes and ensure real-time monitoring of the cooling process.

[0060] According to the feedback data of the temperature detection unit, the opening and closing status of the water valve is adjusted; when the temperature reaches the set value, the water valve is closed and cooling is stopped; the programming logic of the control unit takes into account the different specifications and production requirements of the steel pipe body 4, and can flexibly adjust the cooling parameters.

[0061] Pull the central main pipe 1 out from the inside of the steel pipe body 4; the withdrawal process is also controlled by the limit switch on the slide rail to ensure accurate movement.

[0062] The central main pipe 1 is restored to its initial position, and when the next steel pipe body 4 arrives, the return process of the lifting mechanism is controlled by the PLC controller to ensure continuous operation of the system.
