Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to an adjustable induction heating device, belonging to the technical field of induction coils. Background Art

[0002] With economic and technological development, power plants are placing increasingly stringent demands on pipeline design, leading to higher requirements for pipe fittings used for pipe bends. Compared to elbows, pipe bends offer advantages such as controllable dimensions, reduced weld count, and ease of later in-service inspection. During pipe bending, medium-frequency induction heating is applied to the pipes via induction coils.

[0003] Chinese invention patent publication number CN115835439A discloses an energy-saving induction heating device, including an induction coil, wherein a first cooling tube is inserted into the induction coil, and both ends of the first cooling tube extend to the outside of the induction coil, and both ends of the first cooling tube are connected to a first cooling joint. The induction coil is provided with a plurality of circumferentially distributed second cooling joints, and the inner side wall of the induction coil is circumferentially provided with a plurality of heat dissipation holes; the vertical cross-sectional shape at the center of the induction coil is a right-angled trapezoid. The energy-saving induction heating device increases the cross-sectional area by setting the cross-section of the induction coil to a right-angled trapezoid, thereby improving the strength and preventing the induction coil from deflecting in a high-temperature environment; it avoids premature cooling of the bent pipe before reaching the bending temperature, shortens the heating time of the bent pipe, improves the heating efficiency of the bent pipe, and saves electricity. However, in the prior art, the induction coil is generally made of a copper square tube or a copper plate. The induction coil made of the copper square tube can generally only be used for thin-walled water-cooling pipes. For thick-walled pipes, a red band needs to be added to the coil. In this case, a copper plate assembled coil or a copper square tube assembled coil is used instead. However, the coil can still only be applied to elbows with a certain range of wall thickness, that is, the scope of application is limited. If a different wall thickness range is encountered later, the coil needs to be remade.

[0004] Therefore, there is a need for an adjustable induction heating device to expand the scope of application. Summary of the Invention

[0008] A water outlet is provided on the inner side wall of the main ring, and a first water inlet joint is connected to the main ring;

[0009] The secondary ring is connected to a second water inlet joint and a water outlet joint. The number of the second water inlet joints is equal to the number of the water outlet joints. A single second water inlet joint and a single water outlet joint form a group.

[0010] Preferably, the second water inlet connector and the water outlet connector are both provided in plurality, and the plurality of second water inlet connectors correspond one-to-one to the plurality of water outlet connectors.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are:

[0016] 1. The traditional induction coil structure is optimized to make it removable and replaceable, which is highly flexible and saves the trouble of manufacturing and assembling the coil. The induction coil structure has a simple division of labor and can be applied to pipes with different wall thicknesses, thus expanding its scope of application.

[0031] A second water inlet connector 35 and a water outlet connector 36 are connected to the outer wall of the secondary ring 32. The number of the second water inlet connectors 35 is equal to the number of the water outlet connectors 36. A single second water inlet connector 35 and a single water outlet connector 36 form a group. Multiple second water inlet connectors 35 and multiple water outlet connectors 36 are provided, and the multiple second water inlet connectors 35 correspond to the multiple water outlet connectors 36 one-to-one.

Water is respectively supplied to the main ring 31 from the water pipe 2 and the first water inlet joint 34. The water in the main ring 31 is then discharged from the water outlet 33 and acts on the pipe, thereby cooling the pipe and the main ring 31. In addition, water is also supplied to the secondary ring 32 from the second water inlet joint 35. The water in the secondary ring 32 is then discharged from the corresponding water outlet joint 36 to cool the secondary ring 32. The temperature of the bent pipe is measured, and when the temperature reaches the bending temperature, bending begins. Here, the number of secondary rings 32 is selected according to the wall thickness of the pipe, so that it is suitable for pipes of different wall thicknesses, expanding the scope of application.

[0038] 2. For elbows with similar diameters but different wall thicknesses, the step of manufacturing multiple different induction coils 3 can be omitted by reducing or adding secondary coils 32, thereby reducing production costs and improving efficiency.

[0039] 3. It is relatively simple to disassemble and install, which is convenient for maintenance and prolongs the service life of the induction coil 3;

[0040] 4. The induction coil 3 is configured as a structure of a main coil 31 and a secondary coil 32, so that heating is uniform and material deformation or appearance defects caused by uneven temperature can be effectively avoided.
