Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of composite plate production, and specifically to a production system for steel-aluminum composite plates. Background Art

[0002] Steel-aluminum composite plates are mainly applied to occasions with large load impact force and isolation of potential difference, etc. There are strict requirements for the hardness, wear resistance and impact resistance of the materials. It is very difficult to meet the above requirements simultaneously on the same material. At present, the domestic production of steel-aluminum composite plates mainly adopts the explosion welding forming process. The explosion welding process uses explosives as the energy source. Through the high temperature and high pressure obtained by the explosion of explosives, a high-pressure pulse load is generated to push the aluminum plate to collide with the steel plate at a high inclination. Its loading stress is much higher than the yield strength of the two metal materials. The method of instantaneously intertwining and occurring in the adjacent area of the action point and moving at high speed, etc., realizes the metallurgical bonding of the two metals, and the shape of the bonding area presents a wavy metallurgical bond.

[0003] However, the explosion welding process has restrictions such as the control of explosives, strict site requirements, high personnel requirements, and high weather requirements. And the production process involves multiple processes of off-site production, such as explosion composite, ultrasonic testing, heat treatment, leveling, cutting, surface treatment, etc. This makes the whole production process more complex, and the composite plates formed by explosion welding have disadvantages such as low finished product rate, high danger coefficient, and limited production capacity.

[0004] Therefore, it is urgent to seek a production system that can replace the explosion welding forming of existing steel-aluminum composite plates. Content of the Utility Model

[0007] The partition preheating mechanism includes a layered heating zone and a heating and heat-preserving synthesis zone arranged in sequence from left to right. The layered heating zone includes a first heating zone and a second heating zone arranged at intervals up and down. A number of heating zones with different temperature segments are provided in both the first heating zone and the second heating zone. The first heating zone and the second heating zone are respectively used for heating aluminum plates and steel plates. The aluminum plates and the steel plates are respectively transported to the heating and heat-preserving synthesis zone through a second conveying mechanism and the first conveying mechanism. An electric gate for positioning the steel plate and a grating sensor for detecting the position of the steel plate are provided in the heating and heat-preserving synthesis zone. The aluminum plate is placed above the steel plate by a robotic arm to achieve overlapping. The grating sensor is connected to a control system through an electrical signal, and the control system controls the opening and closing of the electric gate;

[0008] The overlapped plates are sequentially transported through the first conveying mechanism to the heating mechanism, the rolling and extrusion mechanism, the detection mechanism, and the composite plate cutting machine for processing.

[0009] Further, there are four heating zones with different temperature segments. The four heating zones are arranged in sequence and are respectively a first heating zone, a second heating zone, a third heating zone, and a fourth heating zone. The temperature of the first heating zone is 400±40°C, the temperature of the second heating zone is 460±30°C, the temperature of the third heating zone is 480±20°C, and the temperature of the fourth heating zone is 500±20°C.

[0010] Further, the heating mechanism is an electromagnetic induction heating device, and the heating temperature of the electromagnetic induction heating device is 520±20°C.

[0011] Further, the second conveying mechanism includes a horizontal feeding section and an inclined discharging section connected to each other. The horizontal feeding section is arranged in the first heating zone, and the inclined discharging section is arranged in the heating and heat-preserving synthesis zone.

[0012] Further, the first conveying mechanism and the second conveying mechanism are roller conveyors.

[0013] Further, the rolling and extrusion mechanism includes at least two rollers arranged up and down. The upper and lower rollers are used for rolling aluminum plates and steel plates, and the inner cavity of each roller is filled with a heat-conducting medium.

[0014] Further, the detection mechanism is a water immersion ultrasonic flaw detector.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are:

[0016] 1.

Detailed implementation mode

[0022] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0023] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 1 shown, a production system for steel-aluminum composite sheets includes a partition preheating mechanism, a heating mechanism 3, a rolling and extrusion mechanism 4, a detection mechanism 5, and a composite sheet cutting machine 6 arranged in sequence from left to right. A first conveying mechanism 1 for transporting sheets is provided between the partition preheating mechanism 2, the heating mechanism 3, the rolling and extrusion mechanism 4, the detection mechanism 5, and the composite sheet cutting machine 6;

[0024] In this embodiment, the partition preheating mechanism is a roller hearth heat treatment furnace with upper and lower layers to achieve the preheating of the sheet metal. Specifically, the partition preheating mechanism includes a layered heating zone 21 and a heating and heat preservation synthesis zone 22 arranged in sequence from left to right. The layered heating zone 21 includes a first heating zone 211 and a second heating zone 212 arranged at intervals up and down. A number of heating zones with different temperature segments are provided in both the first heating zone 211 and the second heating zone 212. The first heating zone 211 and the second heating zone 212 are respectively used to heat aluminum sheet metal and steel sheet metal. The aluminum sheet metal and the steel sheet metal are respectively transported to the heating and heat preservation synthesis zone 22 through the second conveyor mechanism 7 and the first conveyor mechanism 1. In this embodiment, the first conveyor mechanism 1 and the second conveyor mechanism 7 are roller conveyors. An electric gate (not shown in the figure) for positioning the steel sheet metal and a grating sensor (not shown in the figure) for detecting the position of the steel sheet metal are provided in the heating and heat preservation synthesis zone 22. The aluminum sheet metal is placed above the steel sheet metal by a robotic arm to achieve overlapping. The grating sensor is connected to the control system through an electrical signal. The control system controls the opening and closing of the electric gate. Specifically, after the grating sensor senses the position of the lower-layer steel sheet metal, it sends an electrical signal to the control system. The control system controls the roller conveyor to stop and controls the electric gate to lower to position the lower-layer steel sheet metal. The upper-layer aluminum sheet metal is grabbed by a robotic arm controlled by a program and placed on the lower-layer steel sheet metal and aligned to form an overlapping (upper and lower superposition) sheet metal structure. After a series of actions are completed, the electric gate is opened and returns to the origin position, and the roller conveyor restarts the transmission action. The upper and lower superposed sheet metals are sequentially transported to the heating mechanism 3, the rolling and extrusion mechanism 4, the detection mechanism 5, and the composite sheet metal cutting machine 6 through the first conveyor mechanism 1 for processing. Specifically, in this embodiment, the heating mechanism 3 is an electromagnetic induction heating device, and the heating temperature of the electromagnetic induction heating device is 520 ± 20 °C.

[0025] Specifically, in this embodiment, there are four heating zones with different temperature segments. The four heating zones are arranged in sequence, and the four heating zones are respectively a heating zone 201, a heating zone 202, a heating zone 203, and a heating zone 204. The temperature of the heating zone 201 is 400 ± 40 °C, the temperature of the heating zone 202 is 460 ± 30 °C, the temperature of the heating zone 203 is 480 ± 20 °C, and the temperature of the heating zone 204 is 500 ± 20 °C; the upper-layer aluminum sheet metal and the lower-layer steel sheet metal are preheated through four different temperature segments respectively.

[0026] Specifically, in this embodiment, the second conveying mechanism 7 includes a transverse feeding section 71 and an oblique discharging section 72 which are connected to each other. The transverse feeding section 71 is arranged in the first heating zone 211, and the oblique discharging section 72 is arranged in the heating and insulation synthesis zone 22. After the preheating of the upper aluminum plate is completed, the position of the steel plate is positioned by the electric gate, and then the aluminum plate is grabbed by the robotic arm and placed on the lower steel plate and aligned. Of course, in the production process, each aluminum plate is composited with the corresponding steel plate to be composited, and can be mass-produced through the production system of the utility model.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the rolling and extrusion mechanism 4 includes at least two rollers 41 arranged up and down, and the upper and lower rollers 41 are used to roll aluminum plates and steel plates. The inner cavity of each roller 41 is filled with a heat-conducting medium, and can hot-roll the upper and lower superimposed plates under the action of a rolling force of 100T, and can reduce the total height of the aluminum plate and the steel plate by about 10%-15%, so that the upper aluminum plate and the lower steel plate are occluded and composited by rolling, and the transition layer between the aluminum plate and the steel plate presents a corrugated interface. After high-magnification detection, the corrugation of the middle interface of the steel-aluminum composite plate formed by explosion welding is consistent; the steel-aluminum composite plate formed by hot rolling technology can fully meet the current performance index requirements of the automotive, aerospace, shipbuilding and other fields for the mechanical properties, tensile shear force, pull-off force and other performance indicators of the composite plate.

[0028] In this embodiment, the detection mechanism 5 is a water immersion ultrasonic flaw detector. After the steel-aluminum composite plate is hot-rolled and formed, it goes through an online water immersion ultrasonic detection process, and the unqualified areas are recorded and marked with codes after being removed from the water. Finally, the steel-aluminum composite plate of a fixed length is cut by a saw blade.

[0029] In this embodiment, the composite plate cutting machine 6 processes and cuts the composite plate. The composite plate cutting machine is a commonly used device in the prior art. As long as it can achieve the cutting of the plate, it will not be described in detail.

[0030] In terms of production efficiency, the utility model integrates multiple original off-site production processes (explosive compounding, ultrasonic testing, heat treatment, leveling, cutting, surface treatment, etc.) into one production system and completes them at one time, reducing the leveling and surface treatment work in the original explosive welding forming process, shortening product processing time, and improving production capacity and production efficiency. The company has shortened the delivery period from the original 6 months to 1 month through the production system of the steel-aluminum composite plate of the utility model, greatly improving the competitiveness of the product and reducing the production cost.

[0031] The utility model is not restricted by weather and explosion sites, has low professional requirements for personnel, can greatly improve the production efficiency and production capacity of steel-aluminum composite plate products, greatly reduce the number of production units and production personnel participating in production, reduce production costs, and replace the original explosion welding forming process with the plate preheating - electromagnetic induction heating - hot rolling forming - on-line ultrasonic detection - cutting process of the utility model, can realize the batch production of steel-aluminum composite plates, shorten the processing time of steel-aluminum composite plates, improve production capacity and production efficiency, and greatly reduce the batch production threshold and production costs.

[0032] The above-disclosed is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model, and of course, the scope of rights of the utility model cannot be limited thereby. Therefore, equivalent changes made according to the claims of the utility model still fall within the scope covered by the utility model.
