[0001] This invention relates to the field of laser measuring machine technology, specifically to a laser measuring machine and method for the straightness of steel pipes based on the hot rolling process of seamless steel pipes. Background Technology

[0002] The hot rolling process for seamless steel pipes involves heating a round billet to a high temperature to soften it, then piercing it with a piercing mill to form a rough tube. The diameter and wall thickness are then reduced through multiple continuous rolling passes. Finally, the straightness is checked by a steel pipe straightness laser measuring machine. This process helps to obtain seamless steel pipes with accurate dimensions, good mechanical properties, and straightness that meet the standards. This process utilizes high-temperature plastic deformation and recrystallization to refine the grains and is suitable for large-scale production of high-quality seamless steel pipes.

[0003] Referring to the straightness measuring device disclosed in patent application CN208765680U, a laser rangefinder and a magnetic ruler are fixed to the two ends of the 0° line of a pipeline by magnetic adsorption, and the laser line is adjusted to be parallel. The straightness is measured by the movement data of the laser projection point on the magnetic ruler. The direction of the 90° line is measured in the same way. The device has a simple structure, flexible operation, can measure quickly and reduce manual input, has low requirements for measurement conditions, effectively guarantees accuracy and solves the problems of low accuracy and cumbersome operation of traditional methods, and has great prospects for promotion.

[0004] A comprehensive analysis of the above-mentioned patents reveals the following shortcomings: Existing laser measurement machines and methods for straightness of steel pipes based on hot rolling of seamless steel pipes typically rely solely on non-contact laser measurement technology to determine whether the straightness of the steel pipe meets the standards. However, laser measurement is easily affected by the surface condition of the steel pipe and environmental interference, resulting in unreliable measurement results. It is difficult to integrate contact measurement technology on the basis of laser measurement technology to form dual verification. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a laser measurement machine and method for straightness of steel pipes based on hot rolling of seamless steel pipes to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0015] This invention also provides a method for measuring the straightness of steel pipes based on the hot rolling process of seamless steel pipes, the specific method including the following steps: Step 1: Pass the hot-rolled seamless steel pipe to be measured through the straightness laser measuring mechanism and place it at the top center of the base mechanism. Then, start the electric telescopic rod to drive the driving mechanism to move down. During the downward movement of the driving mechanism, it gradually cooperates with the base mechanism to stably clamp the steel pipe. At this time, the electric telescopic rod stops working. Then, adjust the straightness laser measuring mechanism so that the straightness laser measuring mechanism contacts the outer wall of the steel pipe. Step 2: The drive mechanism starts and works with the base mechanism to drive the steel pipe to rotate. At the same time, the straightness laser measuring mechanism works to measure the straightness of the rotating steel pipe. During the operation of the drive mechanism, the threaded rod mechanism is driven to rotate intermittently, thereby driving the straightness laser measuring mechanism to move intermittently upward along the bottom of the steel pipe, so that the straightness laser measuring mechanism moves circumferentially relative to the steel pipe and intermittently moves along the axial direction of the steel pipe. Step 3: During the movement of the straightness laser measuring mechanism, not only is the straightness of the steel pipe measured using laser measurement technology, but the deviation value of the measuring point on the steel pipe is also detected mechanically. When the deviation value of the measuring point exceeds the allowable tolerance range, the alarm is triggered. This is used to measure whether the straightness of the steel pipe meets the standard, thereby completing the straightness measurement of the steel pipe.

[0016] Beneficial effects This invention provides a laser measuring machine and method for straightness measurement of seamless steel pipes based on hot rolling. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages: 1. A laser measuring machine and method for the straightness of seamless steel pipes based on hot rolling processing. Through the cooperation of an electric telescopic rod, a base mechanism, a drive mechanism, a sliding rod, a threaded rod mechanism, and a straightness laser measuring mechanism, it can not only achieve precise clamping and rotational drive of the steel pipe, but also enable the straightness laser measuring mechanism to move intermittently along the axial direction of the steel pipe, ensuring full circumferential inspection coverage of the steel pipe. The straightness laser measuring mechanism not only uses laser measurement technology to measure the straightness of the steel pipe, but also adds a contact measurement method to detect the straightness of the steel pipe, improving the measurement accuracy.

[0017] 2. A laser measuring machine and method for the straightness of seamless steel pipes based on hot rolling processing. Through the cooperation between the push plate, teeth, gears, protrusions, vertical grooves and the straightness laser measuring mechanism, driven by a servo motor, not only can the steel pipe be rotated, but the threaded rod can also be driven to rotate intermittently. This causes the internal thread block to move along the threaded rod in the vertical direction, and finally enables the straightness laser measuring mechanism to move intermittently along the axial direction of the steel pipe. There is no need to set up a separate drive device to drive the straightness laser measuring mechanism to move, thus improving energy utilization.

[0018] 3. A laser measuring machine and method for straightness of steel pipes based on hot rolling of seamless steel pipes. Through the cooperation of a ring, measuring rod assembly, spring, measuring frame assembly, contact block assembly, and laser rangefinders, two laser rangefinders emit laser beams perpendicular to the axis of the steel pipe to monitor the radial distance difference between the left and right sides in real time. When the difference exceeds the tolerance, an alarm is triggered, realizing non-contact rapid detection. The measuring rod assembly drives the conical head to fit against the surface of the steel pipe through the spring. With the help of the scale on the crossbar and the contact block assembly, the allowable deviation range of straightness is set. When the radial displacement of the conical head exceeds the threshold, the first contact piece and the second contact piece make contact to form an electrical connection, triggering the alarm. This realizes contact precision measurement, integrating laser measurement technology with contact measurement technology to form dual verification and ensure the reliability of the straightness measurement results.

[0019] 4. A laser measuring machine and method for the straightness of seamless steel pipes based on hot rolling processing. Through the interaction of the circular ring, the lead screw, and the sponge, the sponge can automatically wipe the outer wall of the steel pipe before measurement, effectively removing oil stains, dust and other attachments generated during hot rolling processing. This avoids interference from impurities on the steel pipe surface with laser ranging and contact measurement. The sponge can be quickly replaced with adhesive clips to ensure long-term cleanliness. The lead screw can adjust the position of the arc plate and the sponge to adapt to steel pipes of different diameters, improving the equipment's versatility.

Through the cooperation between the ring 821, the lead screw 822 and the sponge 824, the sponge 824 can automatically wipe the outer wall of the steel pipe before measurement, effectively removing oil stains, dust and other attachments generated by hot rolling, avoiding the interference of impurities on the steel pipe surface on laser ranging and contact measurement. The sponge 824 can be quickly replaced with adhesive clips to ensure long-term cleaning effect. The lead screw 822 can adjust the position of the arc plate 823 and the sponge 824 to adapt to steel pipes of different diameters and improve the versatility of the equipment.

[0028] This invention also provides a method for measuring the straightness of steel pipes based on the hot rolling process of seamless steel pipes. The specific method includes the following steps: Step 1: Pull the two measuring rod assemblies 815 to the side furthest from each other, compressing the spring 816, allowing the hot-rolled seamless steel pipe to be measured to pass through the straightness laser measuring mechanism 8 and be placed on top of the base 41. During the process, observe the scale 43 in each direction, ensuring that the bottom of the steel pipe is at the center of the base 41 and in contact with each anti-slip pad 44. Then, activate the electric telescopic rod 3 to push the drive mechanism 5 downward. During the downward movement of the drive mechanism 5, the top seat assembly 56 gradually engages with the base mechanism 4. The steel pipe is vertically and stably clamped, while gear 74 moves vertically along with push plate 54. At this time, electric telescopic rod 3 stops working. Then, straightness laser measuring mechanism 8 is adjusted. During the process, since the steel pipe is located between the center of base 41 and top seat assembly 56, that is, the steel pipe also passes through the internal center of ring one 811, ring two 821 and ring three 83, under the elastic action of spring 816, the two measuring rod assemblies 815 approach each other, and the conical head 8153 is always in contact with the outer wall of the steel pipe. At this point, the two measuring rods 8151 penetrate into the ring 811 by the same distance. Then, push the collar 8181 along the measuring rod 8151 to make the pointer 8184 point to the mark line 8110. Then, tighten the bolt 8182 so that its bottom is in close contact with the top of the measuring rod 8151, locking the collar 8181 onto the measuring rod 8151. That is, the contact piece 8186 is adjusted to the initial position of the crossbar 817. Then, adjust the position of each contact block assembly 819, observe the scale 8111, and slide the contact block 8193. Once the position is set, tighten bolt 8192 to make its bottom contact tightly with the top of crossbar 817, locking the position of contact block 8193, i.e., locking the position of contact piece 8194. At this time, the distance between contact piece 8186 and the adjacent contact piece 8194 is the maximum allowable deviation limit of the straightness of the steel pipe. Then tighten screw 822 to push arc plate 823 towards the side closer to the steel pipe. Thin rod 825 slides along the inside of ring 821, finally making sponge 824 contact the outer wall of the steel pipe. Step 2: Start the servo motor 52 to drive the wheel column 53, teeth 55, and top seat assembly 56 to rotate. Utilizing the friction between the anti-slip pad 44 and the steel pipe, as well as the friction between the top seat assembly 56 and the steel pipe, the steel pipe will rotate along with the top seat assembly 56. During the rotation of the wheel column 53 and teeth 55, teeth 55 intermittently mesh with gear 74, thereby intermittently driving the threaded rod 71 to rotate. The rotating threaded rod 71 drives the straightness laser measuring mechanism 8 to gradually move upward along the bottom of the steel pipe, causing the straightness laser measuring mechanism 8 to move circumferentially relative to the steel pipe and intermittently move along the axial direction of the steel pipe. At the same time, two laser rangefinders 84 work to measure the straightness of the steel pipe using laser measurement technology. The straightness measuring assembly 81 also works to measure the straightness of the steel pipe again. The straightness of the steel pipe is detected by a combination of non-contact and contact measurement. Before measurement, the sponge 824 wipes the outer wall of the steel pipe in time to clean the oil and dust on the surface of the steel pipe, improving the measurement accuracy. Step 3: During the straightness measurement of the steel pipe, two laser rangefinders 84 operate. The laser lines emitted by the laser rangefinders 84 are perpendicular to the central axis of the steel pipe. When the straightness of the steel pipe meets the design tolerance requirements, the difference between the two radial distances measured by the laser rangefinders 84 at the two measuring points on the left and right sides of the steel pipe is also controlled within the allowable tolerance range. When the difference between the two radial distances measured by the two laser rangefinders 84 exceeds the allowable tolerance range, the alarm 10 sounds, reminding the staff that the straightness of the steel pipe at this point does not meet the standard. This is how the laser rangefinders 84 achieve the purpose of laser measurement of the straightness of the steel pipe. The laser rangefinders 84 are existing technology known to those skilled in the art. Simultaneously, the straightness measurement component 81 operates, due to the conical head 8153 and... The outer wall of the steel pipe remains in contact. As the steel pipe rotates, under the condition that the straightness of the steel pipe meets the design tolerance requirements, the radial position of the cone head 8153 remains unchanged or changes within the allowable radial range. That is, the radial position of the contact piece 8186 remains unchanged or changes within the allowable radial range. During the process, the contact piece 8186 does not contact the adjacent contact piece 8194. When the frame 8185 moves to make the contact piece 8186 contact the adjacent contact piece 8194, the contact piece 8186 and the adjacent contact piece 8194 form an electrical connection, and the alarm 10 is powered on to sound an alarm. At this time, the deviation value of the measuring point exceeds the allowable tolerance range, reminding the staff that the straightness of the steel pipe at this point does not meet the standard. This is used to measure whether the straightness of the steel pipe meets the standard, thereby completing the straightness measurement of the steel pipe.
