TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application mainly relates to the technical field of steel pipe straightening, in particular to a step-by-step straightening equipment for large-diameter thin-wall seamless steel pipes and a straightening application. BACKGROUND
[0002] Seamless steel pipes have excellent mechanical properties due to the absence of welds and can be used as important fluid conveying channels. However, after heat treatment, the seamless steel pipes inevitably exhibit significant local bending deformation and significant end "gooseneck" phenomenon, so the steel pipes need to be straightened after production. In the prior art, there are two straightening modes for steel pipes: one is a die straightening mode, which uses upper and lower dies consistent with the outer diameter size of the steel pipe for straightening. This straightening method is simple and practical, but the upper and lower dies need to be replaced frequently to adapt to steel pipes of different diameters. The other is a straightening roller straightening mode, which uses a pair of upper and lower straightening rollers. According to the relationship between the axis of the upper and lower straightening rollers and the axis of the steel pipe, it is divided into oblique roller straightening and normal roller straightening. In normal roller straightening, the axis of the straightening roller is perpendicular to the axis of the steel pipe, and the seamless steel pipe does not move along its own axis direction during straightening. In oblique roller straightening, the axis of the straightening roller is oblique to the axis of the steel pipe, and automatic conveying of the seamless steel pipe can also be achieved during straightening. Although the existing technology realizes external straightening of the seamless steel pipe, it is usually suitable for small-diameter steel pipes or back wall steel pipes, because: 1. The existing die straightening mode cannot be used for die straightening of large-diameter thin-wall steel pipes due to the limitation of die length and inner diameter size; 2. The existing straightening roller straightening mode cannot make ring straightening around the circumference of the steel pipe because the axis of the straightening roller is not coplanar with the axis of the steel pipe, i.e. there is a missed straightening position; 3. The existing straightening roller straightening mode cannot completely eliminate the "gooseneck" effect at the end of the thin-wall steel pipe. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a straightening equipment suitable for large-diameter thin-wall steel pipes. SUMMARY

In the specific implementation, each bidirectional screw 42 is provided with a nut pair composed of the left-handed nut block 43 and the right-handed nut block 44, each inner roller frame 21 is provided with a connecting rod pair composed of the connecting rod A45 and the connecting rod B46, the large end of the connecting rod pair faces the power shaft A15, and the number of the connecting rod pair is equal to the number of the nut pair; each bidirectional screw 42 is provided with a synchronous wheel A47 at the end thereof, and the output shaft of the motor B49 is drivingly connected with one of the bidirectional screws 42.

Since the left-handed nut block 43 and the right-handed nut block 44 can only slide in the axial direction of the sleeve A16, the left-handed nut block 43 and the right-handed nut block 44 move close to each other, the corresponding connecting rod pairs drive the corresponding inner straightening assemblies to move in the radial direction of the steel pipe 10 and away from the inner wall of the steel pipe 10 in the centrifugal direction until the inner straightening rollers 23 abut against the inner wall of the steel pipe 10, at which time the inner straightening assemblies change from the inner contraction state to the inner straightening state. According to the similar working principle, the motor B49 in the inner roller radial telescopic assembly drives one of the bidirectional screws 42 to rotate in the reverse direction, all the bidirectional screws 42 in the inner roller radial telescopic assembly synchronously rotate in the reverse direction, the left-handed nut block 43 and the right-handed nut block 44 move away from each other, and the inner straightening assemblies move in the radial direction of the steel pipe 10 and toward the inner wall of the steel pipe 10 in the centripetal direction until the inner straightening rollers 23 are separated from the inner wall of the steel pipe 10, at which time the inner straightening assemblies change from the inner straightening state to the inner contraction state.

As preferred, the outer roller radial telescoping mechanism comprises: several ball screws 62 which are arranged on the mounting frame B19 in an axis-symmetrical manner and rotate along the radial direction of the steel pipe 10, a guide rod 63 which is fixedly arranged on the mounting frame B19 at one end and slides through the outer roller frame 31 at the other end along the radial direction, a bevel gear A 64 which is fixedly arranged on the ball screw 62, several power shafts B 66 which are arranged on the mounting frame B19 in an axis-symmetrical manner and rotate parallel to the axis of the steel pipe 10, and a bevel gear B 65 which is fixedly arranged on the power shaft B 66 and externally engages with the bevel gear A 64, and a synchronous wheel B 67 which internally engages with the inner ring B 61; the inner ring B 61 is sleeved on the outside of the sleeve B 17, and the ball screw 62 spirally passes through the outer roller frame 31 at the end close to the steel pipe 10.

[0026] The above straightening equipment is applied to the straightening operation of the steel pipe, and the objects of the straightening operation are, for example, seamless steel pipes, jointed steel pipes, thin-walled steel pipes and rear wall steel pipes.
[0027] The working process and working principle of the present application are as follows: First step, preparation: by pulling the support B13 away from the support A12, the steel pipe 10 is placed between the support B13 and the support A12 by means of the tool commonly used in the prior art, the support B13 is loosened until it returns to the initial state, and the inner straightening assembly is entirely located inside the steel pipe 10, and the outer straightening assembly is entirely located outside the steel pipe assembly; the support C14 is driven to move to the right end of the steel pipe 10 by the linear drive mechanism (not shown in the figure), the inner straightening assembly is switched to the inner straightening state by the inner roller radial telescopic assembly, and the outer straightening assembly is switched to the outer straightening state by the outer roller radial telescopic mechanism. The inner straightening roller 23 is switched to the "allowed to rotate" state by using the movable bolt A (not shown in the figure), and the outer straightening roller 33 is switched to the "inhibited to rotate" state by using the movable bolt B (not shown in the figure).
[0028] Second step, removing "goose head bend" at both ends: the two motors A18 drive the two power shafts A15 to rotate in opposite directions, thereby driving the left and right end of the plurality of axisymmetrically distributed inner straightening assemblies to rotate in opposite directions around the axis of the power shaft A15, and the end straightening is performed from the inside of the steel pipe 10 to remove the "goose head bend" at the end.
[0029] Third step, removing "goose head bend" near both ends: the inner straightening assembly is switched to the inner contraction state, the two built-in axial power assemblies drive the two mounting frames A41 to slide a certain distance, which is slightly less than the axial length of the inner straightening roller 23, the inner straightening assemblies at both ends are close to each other, and then the inner straightening assembly is switched to the inner straightening state; repeat the second step to remove the "goose head bend" near the end of the steel pipe 10.
[0030] Fourth step, friction mode switching: the inner straightening roller 23 is switched to the "inhibited to rotate" state by using the movable bolt A (not shown in the figure), and the friction between the inner straightening assembly and the inner wall of the steel pipe 10 is sliding friction; the outer straightening roller 33 is switched to the "allowed to rotate" state by using the movable bolt B (not shown in the figure), and the friction between the outer straightening assembly and the outer wall of the steel pipe 10 is rolling friction.
[0031] Fifth step, external partial straightening: the outer roller revolves power assembly drives a plurality of outer straightening rollers 33 to revolve around the axis of the steel pipe 10, and the steel pipe 10 is partially straightened from the outside.
[0032] Sixth step, step-by-step movement: the outer straightening assembly is switched to the outer contraction state, the support C14 is driven to move a certain distance to the left by the linear drive mechanism (not shown in the figure), which is slightly less than the length of the outer straightening roller 33, and then the outer straightening assembly is switched to the outer straightening state.
[0033] Seventh step, step-by-step straightening: repeat the fifth step to perform position-changing partial straightening from the outside of the steel pipe 10.
[0034] The sixth and seventh steps are repeated until the outer wall of the steel pipe 10 is straightened. During the straightening process, the support B13 is elastically slidably arranged on the base 11, so that the steel pipe 10 can be easily straightened from the bend. During the process of removing the "goose head bend", the friction between the inner straightening assembly and the inner wall of the steel pipe 10 is rolling friction, and the friction between the outer straightening assembly and the outer wall of the steel pipe 10 is sliding friction. Since the sliding friction is much greater than the rolling friction, and the rotating directions of the two power shafts A15 at both ends of the steel pipe 10 are opposite, the steel pipe 10 will not rotate. During the outer straightening process, the friction between the inner straightening assembly and the inner wall of the steel pipe 10 is sliding friction, and the friction between the outer straightening assembly and the outer wall of the steel pipe 10 is rolling friction, so the steel pipe 10 will not rotate.
[0035] The above is only a specific embodiment of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto, any changes or substitutions without creative labor should belong to the protection scope of the present application.
