[0026] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the description of these embodiments is for the purpose of helping to understand the present invention, but does not constitute a limitation of the present invention.
[0027] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0028] Please see the appendix Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 4 The local heat treatment device for weld seams of hydrofluoric acid storage tank of the present invention includes a heating mechanism 19, which is installed at the bottom of the mounting frame 17. The mounting frame 17 is slidably disposed in the movable frame 13. A slider 12 is connected to the upper surface of the movable frame 13. A support 1 and a fixing plate 3 are provided on the upper surface of the movable frame 13. The two sides of the fixing plate 3 are connected to the support 1. A servo motor 7 is installed under the fixing plate 3. A ventilation chamber 2 is opened in the support 1. An adsorption box 4 is connected to the lower surface of both ends of the support 1. An inner cavity 5 is opened on the lower surface of the adsorption box 4. The inner cavity 5 communicates with the ventilation chamber 2. A sliding groove 11 is opened on the lower surface of the fixing plate 3. A screw 8 is provided on the lower surface of the fixing plate 3. A slider 12 is slidably disposed in the sliding groove 11. The slider 12 is threadedly connected to the screw 8. The screw 8 is connected to the drive shaft of the servo motor 7. A vacuum pump 9 is installed on the upper surface of the fixing plate 3. The suction end of the vacuum pump 9 is connected to the suction pipe 10. The other end of the suction pipe 10 is connected to the support 1. The suction pipe 10 communicates with the ventilation chamber 2.
[0029] In practical use, the adsorption box 4 of the device is attached to the surface of the tank near the weld of the hydrofluoric acid storage tank, so that the fixing plate 3 is close to the weld. The vacuum pump 9 on the fixing plate 3 is started. The vacuum pump 9 draws air from the ventilation chamber 2 inside the bracket 1 and the inner cavity 5 of the adsorption box 4 through the air extraction pipe 10, so that the inner cavity 5 is negatively pressured. With the rubber sealing gasket 6 being squeezed and deformed, the adsorption box 4 is firmly fixed to the surface of the tank under atmospheric pressure. The elastic spring 14 on the lower surface of the moving frame 13 can elastically expand and contract according to the curvature or slight protrusions of the tank surface. The rollers 18 on the side of the mounting bracket 17 assist in the fitting and positioning. The heating mechanism 19 is started. The temperature control device in the heating mechanism 19 controls the resistance wire in the heating mechanism 19 to start heating. The heating mechanism 19 maintains a gap with the weld surface to heat the weld. The servo motor 7 is started to drive the screw 8 to rotate. The slider 12, which is threaded to the screw 8, slides in the slide groove 11. The slider 12 drives the moving frame 13 and the mounting bracket 17 to move synchronously. Finally, the heating mechanism 19 moves evenly along the weld to complete the local heat treatment.
[0030] Furthermore, the movable frame 13 has symmetrical movable grooves 15 on its side, and a movable plate 16 is slidably arranged in the movable groove 15. The movable plate 16 has an I-shaped plate structure, and the side of the movable plate 16 is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 17. The side of the mounting frame 17 is rotatably connected to a roller 18.
[0031] Specifically, the rollers 18 on the side of the mounting bracket 17 contact the surface of the tank, which helps the mounting bracket 17 to fit the tank and be positioned.
[0032] Furthermore, a spring 14 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the movable frame 13, and the other end of the spring 14 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the mounting frame 17.
[0033] Specifically, the elastic spring 14 between the movable frame 13 and the mounting frame 17 provides elastic support. The I-shaped movable plate 16 on the side of the movable frame 13 slides in the movable groove 15. When there are slight protrusions or arc changes on the surface of the tank, the spring can automatically extend and retract to compensate for the gap, thereby moving the mounting frame 17.
[0034] Furthermore, the slider 12 has an I-shaped plate structure, and the lower end of the slider 12 extends outside the groove 11;
[0035] Specifically, the exposed lower surface of the slider 12 is fixedly connected to the movable frame 13.
[0036] Furthermore, the groove 11 has a convex groove structure;
[0037] Specifically, the upper end of the slider 12 is locked in the slide groove 11, and the slider 12 slides along the slide groove 11.
[0038] Furthermore, a sealing gasket 6 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the adsorption box 4. The sealing gasket 6 is made of rubber and has a cavity inside.
[0039] Specifically, the rubber sealing gasket 6 has good elasticity and can fit the tiny textures on the surface of the tank. Its built-in cavity can enhance the deformation ability of the sealing gasket 6, further fill the gap between the adsorption box 4 and the surface of the tank, effectively prevent negative pressure leakage after the vacuum pump 9 pumps air, and ensure that the adsorption box 4 is always firmly fixed on the tank during the heat treatment process.
[0040] In this invention, there are two sets of elastic springs 14, which are symmetrically distributed on the left and right sides of the lower surface of the movable frame 13. The upper end of each set of elastic springs 14 is welded and fixed to the lower surface of the movable frame 13, and the lower end is welded and fixed to the upper surface of the mounting frame 17. The elastic coefficient of the elastic spring 14 is 2-5 N / mm, the maximum extension is 10-15 mm, and the axis of the elastic spring 14 is perpendicular to the sliding direction of the mounting frame 17 along the movable groove 15.
[0041] In this invention, the length of the movable plate 16 is the same as the length of the movable groove 15, and the fitting clearance between the movable plate 16 and the inner wall of the movable groove 15 is 0.05-0.1mm; there are two sets of rollers 18, which are rotatably connected to the front and rear sides of the mounting frame 17 respectively. The rollers 18 are made of heat-resistant rubber, the outer diameter of the rollers 18 is 15-20mm, and the compression generated when the outer surface of the rollers 18 contacts the surface of the hydrofluoric acid storage tank is 1-2mm.
[0042] In this invention, in the convex structure of the slide groove 11, the width of the upper groove is 20-25mm and the depth is 10-12mm, and the width of the lower groove is 10-12mm and the depth is 8-10mm; the width of the upper end of the slider 12 is adapted to the width of the upper groove of the slide groove 11, and the width of the lower end of the slider 12 is adapted to the width of the lower groove of the slide groove 11; the fitting clearance between the slider 12 and the inner wall of the slide groove 11 is 0.03-0.05mm, the length of the slider 12 is 30-35mm, and the length of the lower end of the slider 12 extending outside the slide groove 11 is 15-18mm.
[0043] In this invention, the suction pipe 10 is made of polytetrafluoroethylene, with an inner diameter of 8-10 mm and a wall thickness of 2-3 mm. The connection between the suction pipe 10 and the support 1 is sealed with corrosion-resistant sealant, and the connection between the suction pipe 10 and the suction end of the vacuum pump 9 is a threaded connection. The cross-section of the ventilation chamber 2 is rectangular, with a height of 15-20 mm and a width of 10-15 mm. Both ends of the ventilation chamber 2 are connected to the inner cavities 5 of the two adsorption boxes 4, respectively.
[0044] Working principle:
[0045] First, the adsorption box 4 of the device is attached to the surface of the tank near the weld of the hydrofluoric acid storage tank. The vacuum pump 9 is started, drawing air from the ventilation chamber 2 inside the support 1 and the inner cavity 5 of the adsorption box 4 through the extraction pipe 10, creating negative pressure. This, combined with the compression deformation of the rubber sealing gasket 6, fixes the adsorption box 4 to the tank surface under atmospheric pressure. The elastic spring 14 on the lower surface of the moving frame 13 can elastically expand and contract according to the curvature or slight protrusions of the tank surface. The heating mechanism 19 is started to heat the weld. The servo motor 7 is started to drive the screw 8 to rotate, causing the slider 12 to slide within the groove 11. Block 12 drives the moving frame 13 and mounting frame 17 to move synchronously, ultimately causing the heating mechanism 19 to move evenly along the weld and heat it. Through the negative pressure adsorption structure composed of vacuum pump 9, ventilation chamber 2, and inner cavity 5, and with the rubber sealing gasket 6, the device is fixed on the tank. Servo motor 7 drives screw 8, which, together with slide groove 11 and slider 12, enables the heating mechanism 19 to move at a uniform speed along the weld and heat it, meeting the uniformity requirements of local heat treatment of the weld. There is no need for personnel to hold the heating device to heat it, reducing the difficulty of operation and improving work efficiency. At this point, the entire workflow is completed.
