Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of pipe processing, in particular to a die used for nitrogen cooling the inner surface of an aluminum extruded pipe. Background Art
[0002] Aluminum extruded pipe is an aluminum alloy pipe manufactured by extrusion process. It is suitable for producing pipes of various cross-sectional shapes and sizes. In the production process of aluminum extruded pipe, aluminum alloy billets are usually softened by heating and then extruded into long strips with the desired cross-sectional shape using an extrusion machine. This method can produce high-strength, lightweight, corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy pipes suitable for various industries and applications, including construction, power, automobile manufacturing, etc.
[0003] The surface finish of aluminum alloy pipes is particularly critical in the power industry and is one of its important quality indicators. Aluminum alloy pipes produced by traditional extrusion processes often cause the temperature of pipes, molds and ingots to rise due to high temperature and metal surface friction during thermoplastic deformation, so subsequent grinding treatment is required to remove oxidation and other adverse effects. However, if the surface finish can be guaranteed during the extrusion process and additional grinding treatment can be avoided, it can not only save costs and reduce labor intensity, but also significantly improve the market competitiveness of products.
[0004] In the prior art, during the extrusion process, high temperature easily causes aluminum alloy pipes to oxidize, and aluminum alloy easily adheres to the surface of the mold, which will cause surface defects such as scratches and burrs on the discharged pipes, directly affecting the surface quality of the product. In addition, excessive mold temperature may not only reduce the strength of the material, but also accelerate the deformation and damage of the mold, shortening the service life of the mold. In order to effectively control the temperature rise, an effective cooling method must be adopted to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to overcome the problem that during the extrusion process, high temperature easily causes oxidation of aluminum alloy pipes, and aluminum alloy easily adheres to the mold surface, which will cause surface defects such as scratches and burrs on the discharged pipes, directly affecting the surface quality of the products, the utility model provides a mold for nitrogen cooling the inner surface of aluminum extruded pipes.
[0006] The utility model is realized by the following technical scheme: a mold for nitrogen cooling the inner surface of an aluminum extruded pipe, comprising a guide channel, an upper mold and a lower mold; slots are provided on the guide channel and the upper mold, a cooling pipe is placed in the slot, one end of the cooling pipe is connected to a distributor, and the other end of the cooling pipe is connected to a liquid nitrogen inlet.
[0007] Preferably, the guide channel is positioned with the upper die and the lower die respectively by pins and connected by screws.
[0008] Preferably, radial slots are provided on the distributor in a radial direction.

[0010] Preferably, it further comprises a cover plate, which is arranged on the upper mold and located at the upper part of the dispenser.
[0011] Preferably, the cooling tube is a copper tube.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects: the utility model can realize that after liquid nitrogen is vaporized, nitrogen is sprayed onto the inner surface of the pipe, so as to cool the mold, prevent oxidation of the pipe, and improve the quality of the inner surface of the pipe. Liquid nitrogen vaporization can also cool the mold, thereby improving the strength and life of the mold. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
