AI Technical Summary
Existing water-based quenching fluids cannot achieve uniform cooling inside and outside hollow wear-resistant cast balls, resulting in uneven hardness and wear resistance. In particular, hollow grinding balls with a thickness of more than 15cm are prone to brittleness and failure to release core stress during the quenching process.
A water-based quenching fluid containing water-soluble polyether, inorganic salt, nanoparticle concentrated pre-dispersed slurry, viscosity modifier and surfactant is used. By introducing temperature-responsive nanoporous particles and filtration structure, the cooling uniformity and fluidity of the quenching fluid are adjusted. The cooling rate is controlled by polymer chain reaction triggered by vapor membrane. Combined with an automated liquid supply and filtration system, consistent internal and external cooling is achieved.
It effectively improves the cooling uniformity of the inner and outer walls of hollow cast balls, avoids brittleness and uneven hardness, improves the wear resistance and toughness of the cast balls, and ensures product quality.

[0002] Quenching is the most important process in the heat treatment process. Quenching is a process of heating steel to above the critical point, keeping for a certain time, and rapidly cooling in a quenching medium to obtain a martensite structure. The purpose of quenching is to increase the hardness and wear resistance of steel, and to obtain good comprehensive mechanical properties of parts. Common quenching media include salt water, water, mineral oil, air, etc.
[0003] Ball mills are widely used in the cement, power, mineral processing, building materials and other industries. As the grinding medium in the ball mill, the grinding ball needs to have high wear resistance and high toughness. During quenching, the cooling speed needs to be controlled within a reasonable range, otherwise the core and the working surface will have uneven quenching hardness. Especially for hollow grinding balls with a thickness of more than 15 cm, if the cooling speed is too fast, the core cannot effectively dissipate heat in a short time, while the working surface is rapidly cooled by the quenching agent, resulting in a brittle skin phenomenon on the working surface, and even the brittle skin phenomenon, the core cannot release stress and cannot guarantee the hardness, resulting in that the wear resistance and hardness of the grinding ball cannot be guaranteed.

[0071] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following beneficial effects:
[0072] 1. The present application first introduces viscosity regulators and porous nanoparticles into the hollow ball quenching liquid system, which can effectively regulate the adhesion and flowability of the quenching liquid on the surface of the cast ball, thereby improving the cooling uniformity of the inner and outer walls of the hollow cast ball.
[0073] 2. The present application introduces temperature-responsive nanoporous particles into the quenching liquid, which have reversible characteristics. The steam film generated during the quenching process is used as a trigger signal to drive the nanoporous channel to open and close through the reversible "stretching-collapse" of the polymer chain, forming a "steam micro-pump" that is automatically synchronized with the cooling process. By adjusting the polymer structure and grafting density, the dramatic collapse point of the PPO block is at a high temperature of about 300℃, which can be achieved by introducing strong hydrophobic units or increasing the crosslinking density. During the high-temperature stage (>300℃), the cast ball is immersed instantaneously, and a stable steam film is generated at the interface. The extremely high temperature in the steam film makes the PPO block extremely hydrophobic and collapses dramatically, like "pulling the curtain", pulling the polymer brush away from the channel wall and opening the channel. During the medium and low temperature stage (<300℃), the steam film breaks, and the liquid directly contacts the high-temperature surface (but the temperature has decreased). At this time, the PPO block restores its hydrophilicity, and the polymer brush rehydrates and stretches due to the hydrophilicity of the PEO block, closing the channel and slowing down the cooling speed at low temperature.
[0074] 3. The present application actively supplies liquid to the inside of the hollow ball to avoid the continuous rise of the internal quenching liquid temperature and to avoid the difficulty of increasing the consistency of the internal and external cooling temperatures. In order to avoid carrying impurities in the quenching liquid delivered to the inside of the cast ball, a filtering structure is added, which can determine whether it is blocked according to the internal and external pressure difference. If the filter core is blocked, the motor will automatically rotate the filter core by a certain angle, thereby actively replacing the corresponding filter screen to continuously filter the impurities, which are discharged when the filtered impurities coincide with the upper and lower discharge openings.

[0146] During the cooling operation, the connecting disc 421 is adjusted to the size of the inner cavity of the hollow wear-resistant cast ball 300, that is, the running path can completely cover the inner cavity area, and the connecting disc 421 and the cooling ring 402 can enter the interior of the hollow wear-resistant cast ball;
[0147] During the cooling operation, the motor 403 drives the two transmission gears 404 to rotate through the bevel gear 405. Initially, the transmission sleeve 407 is meshed with one of the transmission gears 404 to drive the transmission rod 406 to rotate. When the connecting disc 421 reaches the elastic body 422, the cooling ring 402 forces the transmission rod 406 to adjust the axial position. The switching piece 409 is composed of an elastic pressing piece and can switch positions in the two constraint ring grooves outside the transmission rod 406, thereby causing the transmission rod 406 to adjust the position, and then the transmission sleeve 407 is meshed with the other transmission gear 404, thereby realizing reverse operation. The circulation of the inner cavity is moved and cooled, and the pipeline on the cooling ring 402 in the quenching tank 400 is a coil pipe that can automatically roll and stretch, that is, a pipeline inserted into the reel. It is a mature product that avoids damage to the hollow wear-resistant cast ball 200 in contact with high-temperature state.
[0148] After the quenching liquid is used for multiple times, metal layers will fall off from the surface of the cast ball during quenching, thereby forming particulate impurities that need to be filtered. However, the existing filtering is centralized after a certain number of times or completed online. However, the filter will be blocked during operation, and it is difficult to accurately determine whether the filter is blocked, thereby easily causing the quenching liquid to be unable to circulate cleanly and effectively, thereby affecting the use effect of the quenching liquid.
[0149] The liquid supply structure includes a circulating pump 410 connected with a filter 411 through a pipeline. The filter 411 includes a box body. A stepper motor 4112 is arranged at the top of the box body. The output end of the stepper motor 4112 is provided with a transmission gear set to drive the filter core 4111 in the box body to rotate by a set angle. A plurality of circumferentially distributed filter portions are arranged on the filter core 4111. The width of the filter portion is equal to the spacing between the filter portions. The filter portion includes two side plate bodies 4113, a filter screen 4114 distributed between the two side plate bodies 4113, and an opening and closing plate 4115. The filter screen 4114 is arranged towards the liquid inlet of the box body. The opening and closing plate 4115 is symmetrically distributed in two groups and is rotatably arranged on the side of the side plate body 4113 away from the liquid inlet. A torsional spring is arranged between the opening and closing plate 4115 and the side plate body 4113. An inner support body 4116 is arranged on the inside of the filter core 4111. The inner support body 4116 is fixed to the inside of the box body. An inner guide half ring 4117 is arranged on the inner support body 4116. The inner guide half ring 4117 is used to constrain the opening and closing of the opening and closing plate 4115 away from the liquid inlet.
[0150] The bottom of the filter core 4111 is provided with an upper discharge gap 4119, the side of the box body away from the liquid inlet is provided with a lower discharge gap 4118, the upper discharge gap 4119 and the lower discharge gap 4118 can coincide after the filter core 4111 rotates by a certain angle, and the liquid inlet of the box body and the inner side of the filter core 4111 are both provided with pressure sensors.
[0151] During normal quenching liquid circulation operation, the quenching liquid will open the opening and closing plate 4115 against the torsional spring through the conveying action of the circulation pump 410, and the quenching liquid is discharged from the bottom liquid outlet pipe after being filtered by the filter screen, and the quenching liquid is continuously conveyed in the cooling ring 402.
[0152] When blockage occurs, that is, the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the filter core 410 detected by the pressure sensor exceeds the set pressure difference range, the system determines that blockage occurs, the stepping motor 4112 drives the filter core 4111 to rotate by a set angle, and switches to another filtering part, and since the guiding half ring 4117 is present inside, it will restrict the opening of the opening and closing plate 4115 at the non-liquid inlet, but at this time, the remaining filtering parts are in a sealed state with the box body, and a cleaning structure can be separately provided on the side away from the liquid inlet to clean the filter screen, and the metal particles after cleaning will enter the upper discharge gap 4119 and the lower discharge gap 4118 into the collection box installed at the bottom in advance.

The alternatives can be partial structure, device, method step alternatives, or complete technical solutions. According to the technical solutions and inventive concepts of the present application, equivalent replacements or changes are covered within the protection scope of the present application.
