Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of pipe milling technology, and more specifically, to a milling apparatus for pipe beveling. Background Technology

[0002] Pipe beveling is a core pretreatment process before pipeline welding. The forming accuracy, surface quality, and circumferential uniformity of the bevel directly determine the weld strength, sealing performance, and overall structural stability after pipeline welding. It is widely used in industrial fields such as oil and gas transportation, nuclear power engineering, shipbuilding, and pressure vessels. Currently, the industry generally uses specialized pipe beveling milling equipment to automate the milling of pipe external bevels. Compared to traditional manual grinding and flame cutting methods, specialized milling equipment can effectively improve beveling efficiency, reduce manual labor intensity, and gradually realize the standardization and mechanization of pipe beveling operations. However, existing pipe external beveling milling equipment still has many structural defects and performance shortcomings in actual industrial applications, making it difficult to meet the demands of high-precision, high-stability, and long-life mass production. Specific technical problems include: The existing pipe beveling milling equipment has relatively weak protective measures when milling the outer bevel of pipes. Chips and dust can easily penetrate the working surface of the equipment guide rail, accelerating the wear of moving parts. The wear of the guide rail will not be able to guarantee its guiding accuracy, affecting the processing accuracy of the pipe outer beveling milling and also shortening the service life of the equipment. Although some equipment uses protective covers for isolation and protection, traditional protection methods are difficult to form an effective seal between moving parts and guide rails. The opening of the slide groove can easily become a channel for chip intrusion, leading to contamination and increased wear of the guide rail working surface, which in turn causes a decrease in the processing accuracy of the pipe outer beveling milling.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the compensation component can differentially compensate for the wear of the outer ring guide rail.

[0019] Beneficial effects: One or more technical solutions provided in this invention have at least the following technical effects or advantages: 1. A combined positioning method using axial positioning blocks and circumferential multi-point hydraulic clamping is adopted. The positioning blocks are precisely pressed against the end face of the pipe opening by the cylinder, restricting the axial movement of the pipe and establishing a unified and stable axial machining benchmark. At the same time, multiple sets of first hydraulic cylinders synchronously drive the jaws to radially center and clamp. With the elastic pads set on the inner side of the jaws, it can not only achieve high-precision coaxial fixation of the pipe and the frame, avoiding the problem of machining eccentricity, but also avoid damage such as pressure marks and scratches on the outer wall of the pipe caused by rigid clamping. The elastic pads can increase the clamping friction, effectively preventing circumferential rotation of the pipe during milling, greatly improving the clamping stability and versatility, and adapting to the beveling requirements of pipes of different specifications.

[0020] 2. The system adopts a double-ring guide rail support structure with "inner rail positioning and outer rail bearing". The inner side of the slide block achieves high-precision rotary positioning through V-groove and needle roller cooperation, strictly constraining slide block displacement and deflection, and ensuring accurate and controllable milling rotary trajectory. The outer side of the slide block abuts against the bearing groove of the outer ring guide rail through the bearing roller, bearing most of the milling cutting load, thus overcoming the defects of insufficient rigidity and easy vibration of traditional single-rail cantilever support. At the same time, the inner and outer ring guide rails are sealed and snapped together by mating grooves and mating blocks to form a closed protective cavity. Combined with the working mode of multiple sets of slide blocks rotating synchronously for cutting and symmetrical cutting forces canceling each other out, the milling vibration is further suppressed, and the overall machining rigidity and operational stability are greatly improved.

[0021] 3. A support roller is installed inside the tool holder. The preload of the elastic element keeps it pressed tightly against the outer wall of the pipe. When the milling cutter is subjected to radial cutting reaction force and the tool holder tends to deflect outward, the support roller transmits the reaction force to the elastic element through the piston rod. This absorbs the cutting pulsation impact and provides reverse support force, effectively suppressing radial retraction of the tool holder and ensuring that the bevel depth is uniform along the entire circumference. At the same time, in response to the roundness error or ellipticity deviation of the pipe itself, the support roller can drive the piston rod to float adaptively along the cavity, always maintaining contact with the pipe wall, and realizing contour-following machining. The scrapers on both sides of the support roller follow the movement and fit against the pipe wall, scraping off the oxide scale and residual chips on the outer wall of the pipe in real time, ensuring the support surface is clean and preventing the roller from slipping or the support from shifting due to debris.

[0022] 4. Constructing a multi-layered guide rail protection system: The elastic sealing membrane at the chute opening adapts to the radial expansion and contraction of the hydraulic rod, constantly sealing the chute opening and preventing large particles of chips from entering the guide rail side; the brush and scraper plate on the top of the tool holder move synchronously circumferentially with the tool holder, the brush first sweeps away large particles of debris, and the scraper plate then scrapes away fine dust, continuously cleaning the surface of the elastic sealing membrane and the inner wall of the chute; external compressed air enters the device through the air supply pipe and is blown towards the chute through the air curtain channel inside the V-groove, forming a positive pressure air curtain barrier between the guide rail area and the chute opening; the elastic sealing membrane, brush, scraper plate and positive pressure air curtain work together to form air pressure barriers on both the inner and outer sides of the elastic sealing membrane, completely preventing dust from entering the V-groove, needle rollers, bearing rollers and other moving parts, ensuring long-term cleanliness of the guide rail working surface, effectively extending the service life and accuracy maintenance of the equipment.

[0023] 5. A circumferentially distributed differential wear compensation component is installed. For wear caused by milling chips and dust during long-term operation of the equipment guide rails, the wear gap can be automatically compensated through the elastic release of disc springs. This maintains a gapless fit between the bearing rollers and the guide rail working surface in real time, adaptively correcting coaxiality deviations caused by localized wear, and completing accuracy compensation without stopping the machine. For severe wear conditions exceeding the spring compensation stroke, the radial length of the support column can be precisely adjusted through the positive and negative thread structure of the reverse differential threaded sleeve. This calibrates the coaxiality of the inner and outer annular guide rails point by point, re-establishing the preload of the moving parts. This effectively solves the problem of rapid accuracy decay and frequent disassembly and calibration required by traditional equipment after wear, significantly reducing equipment maintenance costs and downtime, and ensuring long-term high-precision and stable operation of the equipment.

A hinge joint 201 is hinged inside the hinge groove 208. A connecting rod 202 is fixedly connected to the hinge joint 201. A limit block 203 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod 202 away from the hinge joint 201. A disc spring 204 is provided on the side of the limit block 203 near the connecting rod 202. A limit groove 205 is formed on the connecting rod 202. A threaded block 206 is slidably connected inside the limit groove 205. A threaded sleeve 207 is threadedly sleeved on the outer side of the threaded block 206. The hinge groove 208 is located on the side where the inner annular guide rail 121 and the outer annular guide rail 123 are close to each other. The size of the threaded block 206 is larger than the size of the limiting block 203. The hinge groove 208 is located outside the mating groove 122 and the mating block 124. The threaded block 206 is located between the hinge joint 201 and the disc spring 204. The threaded block 206 is elastically connected to the limiting block 203 through the disc spring 204. The threaded block 206 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the threaded sleeve 207. Threaded blocks 206 are provided inside both ends of the threaded sleeve 207. The threads at both ends of the threaded sleeve 207 are turned in opposite directions. The limiting block 203 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the threaded sleeve 207. A circumferentially distributed differential wear compensation component is installed to address wear caused by milling chips and dust during long-term operation of the equipment guide rails. The wear gap is automatically compensated by the elastic release of the disc spring 204, maintaining a gapless fit between the bearing roller 144 and the guide rail working surface in real time. It adaptively corrects coaxiality deviations caused by local wear, completing accuracy compensation without stopping the machine. For severe wear conditions exceeding the spring compensation stroke, the radial length of the support column can be precisely adjusted by the positive and negative thread structure of the reverse differential threaded sleeve, calibrating the coaxiality of the inner and outer annular guide rails point by point, and re-establishing the preload of the kinematic pair. This effectively solves the problem of rapid accuracy decay and frequent disassembly and calibration required by traditional equipment after wear, significantly reducing equipment maintenance costs and downtime, and ensuring long-term high-precision and stable operation of the equipment.

[0047] This invention provides a milling device for external beveling of pipes, the working principle and usage process of which are as follows: First, the pipe 11 to be processed is inserted into the central cavity of the annular frame 101. At the same time, according to the size of the pipe 11, the cylinder 105 is activated to push the positioning block 106 radially forward until the end face of the positioning block 106 is completely in contact with the end face of the pipe 11, restricting the axial movement of the pipe and completing the axial reference positioning for beveling. Then, multiple sets of first hydraulic cylinders 102, evenly distributed around the circumference, act synchronously to push the gripper 103 to move radially toward the center of the pipe 11 until the elastic pad 104 on the inner side of the gripper 103 is completely in contact with the outer wall of the pipe 11, providing uniform clamping force. The elastic pad 104 can avoid hard contact damage to the pipe wall, while increasing friction to prevent the pipe from rotating around the circumference, finally achieving coaxial fixation of the pipe 11 and the frame 101. Then, according to the bevel angle required by the process, the angle adjustment hinge seat 136 at the bottom of the cutter holder 135 is adjusted, which drives the power head housing 137 to swing as a whole, changing the angle between the spindle axis of the milling cutter 139 and the axis of the pipe 11. After adjusting to the target angle, the hinge seat is locked to complete the precise setting of the bevel angle. The milling cutter speed, slide revolution speed and radial feed depth are set. The second hydraulic cylinder 133 drives the cutter holder 135 to return to the initial radial position through the hydraulic rod 134 to ensure that the milling cutter 139 and the outer wall of the pipe 11 maintain a safe gap. At the same time, external compressed air is connected. The airflow enters the device through the air supply pipe 154 on the outside of the outer annular guide rail 123, and finally blows out towards the slide groove 126 through the air curtain channel 155 on the inside of the V-groove 125, forming a positive pressure air curtain barrier between the guide rail area and the slide groove opening, and establishing a dustproof protection environment in advance. Subsequently, the motor 138 on the top of the power head housing 137 is started, driving the milling cutter 139 to rotate at high speed. After the speed stabilizes, it enters the cutting standby state. The revolution drive system drives the slide 131 to start revolving around the pipe 11 along the annular track. The inner side of the slide 131 is embedded in the V-groove 125 of the inner annular guide rail 121, and the needle rollers roll along the groove, undertaking the rotation positioning function and ensuring the accuracy of the revolution trajectory. The bearing roller 132 on the outer side of the slide 131 abuts against the inner wall of the bearing groove 127 of the outer annular guide rail 123, bearing the main cutting load, forming a double-rail support structure of "inner rail positioning and outer rail bearing". Multiple sets of slides 131 revolve synchronously around the circumference for cutting, and the symmetrical cutting forces cancel each other out, greatly improving the machining stability. The inner annular guide rail 121 and the outer annular guide rail 123 are sealed and snapped together by the mating groove 122 and the mating block 124, forming a closed guide rail mounting cavity, providing basic protection for the internal rolling pairs.

[0048] While the slide block 131 revolves, the second hydraulic cylinder 133 drives the hydraulic rod 134 to slowly extend radially, pushing the tool holder 135 to feed towards the outer wall of the pipe 11, and the milling cutter 139 gradually cuts into the pipe wall to begin the outer bevel milling process; the hydraulic rod 134 passes through the groove 126 on the inner annular guide rail 121 and moves synchronously with the slide block 131 along the circumferential direction of the groove. During the milling process, the support roller 144 on the inner side of the tool holder 135 is always pressed tightly against the outer wall of the pipe 11 under the preload of the elastic element 142 in the cavity 141: When the milling cutter 139 is subjected to radial cutting reaction force and the tool holder tends to retract outward, the support roller 144 transmits the reaction force to the elastic element 142 through the piston rod 143, absorbing the cutting pulsation impact and providing reverse support force to suppress radial retraction of the tool holder and ensure that the bevel depth is uniform along the entire circumference. As for the roundness error and ellipticity deviation of the pipe 11 itself, the support roller 144 can drive the piston rod 143 to float adaptively along the cavity 141, always keeping it in contact with the pipe wall, realizing contour-following machining. Among them, the scrapers 145 on both sides of the support roller 144 follow the movement and fit against the pipe wall, scraping off the oxide scale and residual chips on the outer wall of the pipe in real time, ensuring the support surface is clean and avoiding the roller slippage and support offset caused by debris. Meanwhile, the elastic sealing membrane 151 at the opening of the slide groove 126 adapts to the radial extension and contraction of the hydraulic rod 134, always sealing the slide groove opening and preventing large particles of chips and splashing debris from entering the guide rail side; and the brush 152 and scraper 153 on the top of the tool holder 135 move synchronously around the tool holder. The brush first sweeps away large particles of debris, and the scraper then scrapes away fine dust, continuously cleaning the surface of the elastic sealing membrane and the inner wall of the slide groove to avoid debris accumulation; in conjunction with the air curtain channel 155 continuously blowing out positive pressure airflow and the positive pressure environment in the rotation area, an air pressure barrier is formed on both the inner and outer sides of the elastic sealing membrane. While blocking the entry of wind and dust, it blows out penetrating fine dust, completely preventing dust from intruding into the V-groove 125, needle rollers, bearing rollers and other moving parts, ensuring the cleanliness of the guide rail working surface; After long-term operation, the V-groove 125 needle rollers, the bearing rollers 132, and the working surfaces of the guide rails will experience slight wear, gradually increasing the clearance. When the wear is small, the pre-compressed disc spring 204 gradually releases its elasticity, pushing the limit block 203 to slide inward along the inner wall of the threaded sleeve 207. This, in turn, pushes the outer annular guide rail 123 relative to the inner annular guide rail 121 through the connecting rod 202 and the hinge joint 201, causing a slight radial displacement. This automatically eliminates the wear clearance between the bearing rollers 132 and the bearing groove 127, ensuring that the bearing rollers remain in close contact with the rail surface. Simultaneously, it can adaptively adjust the coaxiality of the outer annular guide rail 123 and the inner annular guide rail 121 after wear, maintaining... In a clearance-free fit state, the threaded block 206 and the limiting groove 205 cooperate to limit the compensation stroke and prevent the disc spring from being over-released. When the wear exceeds the automatic compensation stroke of the disc spring, manual precision calibration is required: rotate the threaded sleeve 207, and use the opposite threaded fit at both ends of the sleeve to drive the threaded blocks 206 on both sides to move synchronously in opposite directions along the limiting groove 205, changing the total radial length of the entire support column; adjust multiple sets of compensation components 20 point by point along the circumference to finely adjust the coaxiality of the outer annular guide rail 123 relative to the inner annular guide rail 121, re-establish the preload of the roller and the rail surface, and lock the threaded sleeve 207 after calibration to restore the rotational accuracy of the equipment.
