Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of metal composite plate rolling forming, and in particular to an adaptive adjustable electrical pulse assisted rolling forming device for plates of different widths and thicknesses. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing demand for lightweight and high-performance materials in aerospace, petrochemical, and rail transportation industries, layered metal composites, due to their combination of the excellent properties of each component metal, such as high strength, corrosion resistance, and high electrical and thermal conductivity, have broad application prospects in these fields. However, traditional rolling composite processes typically require hot rolling at high temperatures or cold rolling at room temperature with large deformation followed by diffusion annealing. These methods generally suffer from high energy consumption, long process flows, and the tendency for brittle intermetallic compounds to form at high temperatures, thus deteriorating the mechanical properties of the composite plate.
[0003] Pulsed current assisted rolling technology utilizes the electroplastic and Joule heating effects generated when pulsed current passes through metal to significantly reduce the material's deformation resistance and improve its plasticity. Simultaneously, the tip discharge effect of the current helps to break down and clean the oxide film on the surface to be composited, promoting interfacial metallurgical bonding. Studies have shown that introducing pulsed current into the rolling process can not only achieve effective composite of metals that are difficult or easy to deform at lower temperatures, but also inhibit the excessive formation of brittle interfacial compounds, improving the overall performance of the composite plate. Early technologies mostly used brushes clamped on the surface of the plate; however, in these methods, the current path is long and dispersed, with a large amount of current flowing disorderly within the plate surface, resulting in severe energy dissipation and a low effective current density at the composite interface, thus limiting the interfacial strengthening effect.
[0004] Therefore, how to construct a pulse current-assisted rolling device that can adapt to plates of varying specifications and maintain stable, efficient, and uniform current introduction during high-speed continuous rolling has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an adaptive adjustable electric pulse assisted rolling forming device for plates of different widths and thicknesses, so as to solve the above-mentioned problems, improve the bonding interface of the plates, and adapt to the energization of plates of different specifications.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following solution: an adaptive adjustable electric pulse assisted rolling forming device for plates of different widths and thicknesses, characterized in that: it includes a frame, a conveyor roller, a roller conductive triangular support, and an adaptive hydraulic rod telescopic assembly; in the mechanism, the plate is conveyed to the roller conductive triangular support via the conveyor roller, the adaptive hydraulic telescopic rod is tensioned, the plate is tightly fitted with the upper and lower rollers, and the lower roller is connected to a power source.
[0007] Preferably, the adaptive adjustable electric pulse assisted rolling forming device for plates of different widths and thicknesses is characterized in that: the metal plate is conveyed by a conveying roller shaft in front of the frame, and two sets of hydraulic telescopic rods are provided between the roller shafts to drive two baffles to move synchronously towards or away from each other. One end of the hydraulic telescopic rod is connected to the frame through a hinge seat, and the other end is fixed to the baffle through a connecting plate. The telescopic movement of the hydraulic telescopic rod drives the baffle to move back and forth in the horizontal direction, thereby adjusting the width of the conveying channel to accommodate the conveying of plates of different specifications.
[0008] Preferably, the adaptive adjustable electric pulse assisted rolling forming device for plates of different widths and thicknesses is characterized in that: when the metal plate is conveyed to the conductive triangular support of the roller shaft by the front conveyor roller, the upper insulating roller shaft is in contact with the upper surface of the plate, and the lower left and right energized roller shafts are in contact with the lower surface of the plate. The upper and lower roller shafts form a stable three-point support and clamping for the plate. The triangular support is provided with an adaptive hydraulic telescopic rod with a hinge joint on the hypotenuse. The active extension and retraction of the adaptive hydraulic telescopic rod realizes precise control of the size of the apex angle of the triangular support, enabling the device to actively adapt to plates of different thicknesses.

The second roller shaft conductive triangular bracket is installed upside down, and its second adaptive hydraulic telescopic rod is located between the midpoints of the two inclined sides to drive the apex angle of the upside-down triangular bracket to change, thereby adjusting the spacing of the second upper energized roller shaft. During operation, the upper and lower sets of adaptive hydraulic telescopic rods can be adjusted independently, so that the upper and lower sets of energized rollers are tightly attached to the upper and lower surfaces of the board, respectively. When the thickness of the board changes, the two sets of hydraulic telescopic rods move synchronously or separately, so that the distance between the upper and lower energized rollers matches the thickness of the board, realizing synchronous adaptive energization treatment of the pre-bonded surfaces of the board.
[0010] Preferably, the adaptive adjustable electric pulse assisted rolling forming device for plates of different widths and thicknesses is characterized by: a roller shaft conductive triangular support, which is an isosceles triangle structure and is horizontally arranged; an upper insulating roller shaft, rotatably connected to the apex of the roller shaft conductive triangular support, with an insulating sleeve covering its outer periphery for contacting the upper surface of the plate and providing clamping force; two lower energized roller shafts, respectively rotatably connected to the two base corners of the roller shaft conductive triangular support for contacting the lower surface of the plate; and a pulse current generating device, whose positive and negative poles are electrically connected to the two lower energized roller shafts, respectively; wherein, the insulating sleeve of the upper clamping roller shaft blocks the current from flowing in the vertical direction, forcing the pulse current to be conducted along the path of "lower left positive energized roller shaft - plate surface - lower right negative energized roller shaft", so that the pulse current is focused on the interlayer interface to generate Joule heat, achieving selective heating of the bonding surface and avoiding energy waste caused by current diversion along the entire plate cross section.
