Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of titanium alloy pipe processing, in particular to an automatic straightening system for titanium alloy pipes. Background Art

[0002] Titanium alloys offer excellent mechanical properties, high strength, and corrosion resistance. Initially, titanium alloy tubing was primarily used to manufacture aircraft engine compressor components and structural components for rockets, missiles, and high-speed aircraft. Starting in the mid-1960s, it began to find applications in general industrial manufacturing, including electrodes for the electrolytic industry, condensers for power plants, heaters for oil refining and seawater desalination, and environmental pollution control devices. Titanium alloy tubing boasts high mechanical properties and excellent impact resistance, and can be welded in various ways, with welded joint strengths reaching up to 90% of the base metal's strength. It also exhibits excellent machinability. Titanium alloy tubing exhibits high corrosion resistance to chlorides, sulfides, and ammonia, as well as strong resistance to water shock. It can be used in the manufacture of condenser tubes and can be used in contaminated seawater, water with high suspended solids content, and at high flow rates. Given the diverse applications of titanium alloy tubing, ensuring its straightness is particularly important. Currently, existing straightening technologies primarily rely on manual inspection, feeding, and controlled equipment, resulting in low efficiency, high labor intensity, and limited safety.

[0022] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the utility model includes a workbench, a detection device arranged on the workbench and used to identify the straightness of the titanium alloy tube 1 to be straightened, and a straightening device arranged on the workbench and used to straighten the titanium alloy tube 1 to be straightened;

[0023] The workbench includes a first transport platform and a second transport platform, and the central axis of the first transport platform and the central axis of the second transport platform are located on the same straight line; the structures of the first transport platform and the second transport platform are the same, and the structures of the first transport platform and the second transport platform both include a conveyor belt 2 and a conveyor motor 3 for driving the conveyor belt 2 to operate, and a fixing unit is provided at one end of the conveyor belt 2, and the fixing unit on the first transport platform is arranged at one end close to the second transport platform, and the fixing unit on the second transport platform is arranged at one end close to the first transport platform;

[0024] The detection device includes a first detection component and a second detection component. The first detection component and the second detection component have the same structure. The first detection component and the second detection component each include a plurality of gratings 7 provided on the conveyor belt 2 and a control box for receiving output signals of the gratings 7. The plurality of gratings 7 are arranged along the extension direction of the conveyor belt 2. The gratings 7 are connected to grating motors 8.

[0025] The straightening device includes a pressing head 10 , which is arranged above the connection between the first transport platform and the second transport platform. A pressing head motor 11 is connected to the pressing head 10 .

[0026] In actual use, by setting up a detection device, the straightness of the titanium alloy pipe 1 to be straightened can be detected without manual detection and feeding, thereby improving the detection efficiency and detection accuracy; at the same time, combined with the straightening device, the straightening of the titanium alloy pipe 1 to be straightened is completed, automatic control of production is realized, and the production qualification rate is improved; and the detection device and the straightening device are both installed on a workbench, and the workbench is used to realize the transportation of the titanium alloy pipe 1 to be straightened, thereby improving production efficiency and reducing the labor intensity of the staff.

[0027] It should be noted that the main function of the workbench is to transport and position the titanium alloy pipe 1. The first transport platform, the first detection assembly and the straightening device constitute a primary straightening device. The titanium alloy pipe 1 to be straightened passes through the grating 7 on the first transport platform. The grating 7 transmits the detected data to the controller 9, which identifies the data. After the identification is completed, the speed of the first transport platform is controlled by the displacement sensor 13, and the downward force and downward speed of the pressure head 10 are controlled by the encoder 12. The fixed unit on the first transport platform controls the position of the titanium alloy pipe 1 to be straightened, and the pressure head 6 straightens the titanium alloy pipe 1 to be straightened.

[0028] The second transport platform, the second detection component and the straightening device constitute a re-inspection and re-straightening device. The straightened titanium alloy pipe 1 passes through the grating 7 on the second transport platform. The grating 7 transmits the detected data to the controller 9. The controller 9 identifies the data. After the identification is completed, the speed of the second transport platform is controlled by the displacement sensor 13, and the downward force and downward speed of the pressure head 10 are controlled by the encoder 12. The fixed unit on the second transport platform controls the position of the straightened titanium alloy pipe 1, and the pressure head 6 re-straightens the straightened titanium alloy pipe 1.

[0029] In particular, the grating 7 detects the straightness of the titanium alloy tube 1 to be straightened and the titanium alloy tube 1 after initial straightening, and then transmits the detected straightness signal to the controller 9 through data conversion. The controller 9 identifies the data and performs subsequent initial straightening and re-straightening work after identification.

[0030] In this embodiment, the fixing unit includes a fixing base 4 provided at the end of the conveyor belt 2 , a V-shaped fixing block 5 provided on the top of the fixing base 4 , and a clamping member 6 provided at the end of the conveyor belt 2 .

[0031] In actual use, the clamping member 6 can be a robot, which is used to clamp and fix the titanium alloy tube 1. In combination with the V-shaped fixing block 5, the position of the titanium alloy tube 1 is ensured not to move during the straightening process. In addition, the central axis of the V-shaped fixing block 5 on the first transport platform and the central axis of the V-shaped fixing block 5 on the second transport platform are on the same horizontal line, which facilitates the subsequent transportation of the titanium alloy tube 1.

[0032] In this embodiment, a circuit board is provided in the control box, and a controller 9 and a memory 14 connected to the controller 9 are integrated on the circuit board.

[0033] In actual use, the controller 9 is a PLC, and the first detection component and the second detection component perform initial inspection and final inspection on the straightness of the titanium alloy tube 1. The inspection data is transmitted to the controller 9 and stored in the memory 14.

[0034] In this embodiment, a displacement sensor 13 is provided on the conveyor belt 2 , and a signal output end of the displacement sensor 13 is connected to a signal input end of the controller 9 .

[0035] In this embodiment, an encoder 12 is provided on the press motor 11 , and a signal output end of the encoder 12 is connected to a signal input end of the controller 9 .

[0036] When the present invention is used, the first transport platform, the first detection assembly and the straightening device constitute a primary straightening device. The titanium alloy tube 1 to be straightened passes through the grating 7 on the first transport platform. The grating 7 transmits the detected data to the controller 9. The controller 9 recognizes the data. After the recognition is completed, the speed of the first transport platform is controlled by the displacement sensor 13. The downward force and downward speed of the pressure head 10 are controlled by the encoder 12. The fixed unit on the first transport platform controls the position of the titanium alloy tube 1 to be straightened, and the pressure head 6 straightens the titanium alloy tube 1 to be straightened.

[0037] Then, the titanium alloy tube 1 after the initial straightening is transferred through the fixed unit on the first transport platform and the fixed unit on the second transport platform. After being transferred to the second transport platform, the controller 9 controls the operation of the second transport platform. At this time, the operation direction of the second transport platform is the same as the operation direction of the first transport platform. After the titanium alloy tube 1 after the initial straightening passes through the grating 7 on the second transport platform, the grating 7 transmits the detected data to the controller 9, and the controller 9 identifies the data. If the straightness of the titanium alloy tube 1 does not meet the requirements, the controller 9 controls the second transport platform to operate in reverse and transport the titanium alloy tube 1 to the bottom of the straightening device. The controller 9 controls the downward force and downward speed of the pressure head 10 through the encoder 12. The fixed unit on the second transport platform controls the position of the straightened titanium alloy tube 1, and the pressure head 6 re-straightens the straightened titanium alloy tube 1. After the re-straightening is completed, the controller 9 controls the second transport platform to operate in reverse again, and passes the re-straightened titanium alloy tube 1 through the grating 7 on the second transport platform again for identification and detection until the straightness of the titanium alloy tube 1 meets the requirements.

[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the present invention in any way. Any simple modification, change and equivalent structural change made to the above embodiment based on the technical essence of the present invention shall still fall within the scope of protection of the technical solution of the present invention.
