Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of rebar processing technology, specifically to a method and apparatus for rapid heating of rebar. Background Technology

[0002] The production process of rebar includes pretreatment, billet heating, rolling, cooling, straightening, and shearing. Billet heating is a key step to ensure the smooth progress of subsequent rolling. It usually requires rapidly heating the billet to 1000-1250℃ to reduce the billet's resistance to plastic deformation and facilitate rolling.

[0003] The heating devices currently in use have difficulty achieving rapid heating of steel billets. Heating to the set temperature and then transporting the billets to the rolling mill results in heat loss during transport, preventing the billets from reaching their optimal temperature during rolling. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a method and apparatus for rapid heating of rebar.

[0005] The technical solution of this invention to solve the above problems is: a method for rapid heating of rebar, comprising the following steps: Step 1: Send the steel billet into the preheating furnace, which is set up with three preheating stages; Step 2: The steel billet is fed into the superheated furnace. The heating temperature in the superheated furnace is 1200-1300℃. After the steel billet is heated to the set temperature in the superheated furnace, it is transferred to the next heating process. Step 3: The billet is sent into a soaking furnace and heated to 1100-1250℃. The billet is kept at this temperature for 1-2 hours and then transferred to the rolling process for hot rolling.

[0006] Furthermore, it also includes: Step 4: Install a fuel calorific value detector in the fuel main to collect fuel calorific value in real time; Step 5: Collect the billet temperature before and after each heating process, and the billet temperature before feeding into the hot rolling process; Step 6: Based on the data collected in Steps 4 and 5, the billet temperature before feeding in the hot rolling process is taken as the dependent variable, and the billet temperature before and after each heating process and the calorific value of the fuel are taken as independent variables to establish a multiple regression model. Step 7: Input the billet temperature before feeding in the hot rolling process into the multiple regression model. Adjust the billet temperature and fuel calorific value before and after each heating process by solving the multiple regression model to achieve the set temperature of the billet after heating.

[0007] Furthermore, the first stage preheating temperature is 300-400℃, the second stage preheating temperature is 350-600℃, and the third stage preheating temperature is 550-850℃.

[0008] Furthermore, the steel billet is heated to the set temperature in each of the three preheating stages and held at that temperature for 0.5-1 hour before being transferred to the next heating process.

[0009] A rapid heating device for rebar includes multiple heating furnaces on the conveyor line from the billet to the rolling process. The multiple heating furnaces include a preheating furnace, an overheating furnace, and a homogenizing furnace.

[0010] Furthermore, thermocouples are installed at multiple locations within the preheating furnace, the overheating furnace, and the soaking furnace to monitor the temperature at each location in real time. The present invention has the following beneficial effects: This invention provides a method and apparatus for rapid heating of rebar. Multiple heating furnaces are installed on the conveyor line from the billet to the rolling process to heat the billet before rolling, reducing heat loss. The multiple heating furnaces include a preheating furnace, a superheating furnace, and a soaking furnace, achieving rapid heating. The temperature inside the superheating furnace is higher than that in the soaking furnace. The superheating furnace heats the surface of the billet to a temperature exceeding the set rolling temperature, and then the billet is held at that temperature in the soaking furnace, achieving rapid heating of the billet's interior and exterior to the rolling temperature, thus reducing the holding time in the soaking furnace.
