[0025] In the utility model, the bought parts and the structures not specifically described, such as spraying device, pushing pipe device, connecting pipe device, supporting wheel device, dust hood and the like, all belong to prior art. The following "axial direction" is the rotating axis direction of pipe mould, the two sides of the following step frame are the centrifuge axis direction, and the two ends of the step frame are the direction perpendicular to the axis.
[0026] The layout drawing of the four-station centrifuge of the utility model is shown in the accompanying Figure 1 As shown, it comprises sequentially arranged cleaning station 1, spraying station 2, pouring station 3 and pushing pipe station 4, and the four stations have consistent spacing. Each station is provided with supporting wheel device 11 for rotating pipe mould 12. Cleaning station 1 receives high-temperature pipe mould from heating furnace or pushing pipe station 4, and after cleaning the inner surface of the pipe mould, enters spraying station 2. Spraying station 2 is used for coating spraying, and the coating helps to reduce the thermal stress of the pipe mould and improve the service life of the pipe mould. Pouring station 3 is used for pouring molten steel into the pipe mould, and under the action of centrifugal force, the pipe mould is formed, and after cooling and solidification, it is a thin-walled pipe. Pushing pipe station 4 is used for pushing the thin-walled pipe out of the pipe mould. The supporting wheel devices of the cleaning station, the spraying station and the pushing pipe station can meet the slow rotation of the pipe mould, and the supporting wheel device of the pouring station needs to meet the high-speed rotation requirement of pouring centrifuge.
[0027] At one end of the pipe mould in the cleaning station, dust hood 9 for dust removal is arranged, and dust hood 9 is communicated with dust collector through dust removal pipeline. When the inner surface of the pipe mould is cleaned, the moving wire brush cleans the residual coating or attached impurities on the inner surface of the rotating pipe mould, and the dust is sucked into the dust collector through the dust hood and the dust removal pipeline, avoiding workshop dust pollution.
[0028] At one end of the pipe mould in the spraying station, spraying device 5 for coating spraying is arranged. Spraying device 5 comprises coating tank, spraying rod, spray head and compressed air. When the coating is sprayed, the coating in the coating tank is sprayed on the inner surface of the rotating pipe mould under the pressure of compressed air through the axially advancing spraying rod and the spray head, forming a uniform coating.
[0029] At one end of the pipe mould in the pouring station, pouring device 8 is arranged. The structure of the pouring device is shown in the accompanying Figure 2As shown, the system includes a trolley 81, a holding furnace 85 mounted on the trolley, and a sprue. A parallel cylinder 82 is installed at the bottom of the trolley 81, with one end fixedly connected to the trolley and the other end fixed to the ground in the middle of the track. The movement and fixation of the trolley rely entirely on this parallel cylinder. The sprue is located at the front of the trolley, and its function is to guide molten steel into the mold. The interior of the sprue is a sprue 89 with a smoothly rounded inner surface, and a spout 90 is installed at the front end. During pouring, the spout extends into the mold. Two symmetrically arranged supports 88 are fixed on both sides of the rear of the sprue. The top of each support 88 is an arc groove, which mates with the spout shaft 87 at the spout position of the holding furnace. The arc groove supports the spout shaft, allowing it to rotate within the arc groove. When not pouring, the spout shaft 87 does not contact the arc groove. The holding furnace 85 is located behind the sprue and is a purchased medium-frequency induction heating furnace, used for holding and heating molten steel. The bottom of the holding furnace 85 is supported by a purchased weighing device 83, which is fixed to the trolley. On both sides of the holding furnace, there are cooperating tilting cylinders 84 and force-bearing shafts 86. The force-bearing shaft 86 is fixed to the holding furnace, and the bottom end of the tilting cylinder 84 is hinged to the trolley. The upper ring is connected to the force-bearing shaft in a fitted manner. When the holding furnace receives molten steel, this ring is separated from the force-bearing shaft and does not contact it. A nozzle shaft 87 is fixed at the nozzle 31 of the holding furnace. When the holding furnace receives molten steel, the induction coil cooling water and cable connections are disconnected. Only the weighing device 83 supports and contacts the holding furnace; the rest of the holding furnace does not contact any other components, allowing for accurate weighing of the molten steel. After receiving molten steel, the induction coil is connected to cooling water and cables, energized, and heated to perform deoxidation. During pouring, the cylinder rod of the tilting cylinder extends, pushing the force-bearing shaft. The furnace nozzle shaft falls into the arc-shaped groove, and the holding furnace rotates around the furnace nozzle shaft, tilting to fix the pouring point. After pouring is completed, the tilting cylinder drives the holding furnace back to its original position. For detailed structure, working process, and structural adjustments of the pouring device, please refer to the application filed on the same day for a centrifugal pouring vehicle for thin-walled tubes.
[0030] At both ends of the tube mold at the tube pushing station, a tube pushing device 6 and a tube connecting device 7 are respectively arranged. The tube pushing device 6 is used to push the thin-walled tube axially out of the tube mold, and the tube connecting device 7 receives the thin-walled tube pushed out of the tube mold, ensuring the consistency of the center line of the thin-walled tube and avoiding bending and deformation of the thin-walled tube.
[0031] The roller support device 11 includes a driving roller group and a driven roller group. The two roller groups are respectively set at both ends of each station. The rollers of the roller group cooperate with the rolling belt on the tube mold. The driving roller group is driven to rotate by a motor and drives the tube mold to rotate by friction. The driven roller group is driven to rotate by the tube mold by friction and is used to support and stabilize the tube mold.
[0032] The tube mold stepping device 10 is disposed between the driving support roller group and the driven support roller group. The structure of the tube mold stepping device 10 is shown in the attached figure. Figure 3 and attached Figure 4As shown, including the stepping frame, stepping cylinder 103 and lifting cylinder 105, stepping cylinder 103 for horizontal stepping movement of the stepping frame, lifting cylinder 105 for simultaneous lifting and landing of the stepping frame and stepping cylinder. Each end of the station is installed with a lifting cylinder, and a lifting cylinder is installed below the stepping cylinder fixing device. The two sides of the stepping frame are stepping beams 101, and the bottom surface of the stepping beam is fixed with a guide rail 106, which cooperates with the groove wheel 104 at the top of the lifting cylinder 105. The guide rail is a right angle steel guide rail, and the groove wheel is processed with a right angle groove. The guide rail steps under the guidance of the groove. The top surface of the stepping beam is welded with a supporting block 102, which constitutes a V shape. The position of the supporting block corresponds to the station of the centrifuge, and is used to support the pipe mold 12 when stepping. The pipe mold of the pushing pipe station is lifted into the cleaning station by the crown block, so it is not necessary to set the supporting block in the pushing pipe station. The lifting cylinder 105 is fixedly installed on the fixed frame 108, and the fixed frame 108 is fixedly installed on the ground. The upper part of the fixed frame is provided with a guide mechanism 107, which can adopt a guide rod and a guide sleeve cooperation. The guide rod acts up and down in the guide sleeve at the same time as the lifting cylinder, which is used for the guidance of the lifting cylinder, stabilizes the lifting cylinder, and avoids the bending moment of the lifting cylinder when the pipe mold steps. At the cleaning station end of the stepping frame, the stepping frame is fixedly connected with the stepping cylinder 103, and the extension and retraction of the stepping cylinder 103 realizes the horizontal movement of stepping and returning of the stepping frame.
[0033] The pipe mold stepping device 10 is used, as shown in the accompanying drawings Figure 4 As shown, the left pouring station 3 and the pushing pipe station 4 are in the lifting cylinder retraction state diagram, and the supporting block on the stepping beam does not contact the pipe mold 12, which is supported by the supporting wheel group. The right cleaning station 1 and the spraying station 2 are in the lifting cylinder lifting state diagram, and the pipe mold 12 is stably supported by the supporting block. As long as the stroke of the lifting cylinder is greater than the vertical distance between the lowest point of the pipe mold rolling belt and the top end of the supporting wheel, the stepping of the pipe mold can be realized. When the lifting cylinder lifts the pipe mold, the stepping cylinder 103 extends, pushes the stepping beam and the pipe mold together under the guidance of the groove wheel 104, and moves to the left. When the pipe mold steps one station, the lifting cylinder retracts, the stepping beam and the pipe mold fall, and the pipe mold is supported by the supporting wheel. When the lifting cylinder and the stepping frame are lowered to the lowest position, the top end of the supporting block is lower than the lowest point of the pipe mold, the stepping cylinder retracts one station, and returns to the original state, completing a working cycle of stepping the pipe mold.
[0034] It should be noted that: 1) The stepping beam can not use the guide rail, and the bottom surface of the stepping beam can be directly matched with the cylindrical surface of the groove wheel, and the flanges at both ends of the groove wheel can guide the movement of the stepping beam, as shown in the accompanying drawings Figure 5 2) The stepping cylinder can also be installed at the pushing pipe station end of the stepping frame. 3) Considering that the stepping cylinder is arranged at both ends of the stepping frame, the footprint needs to be increased, and the stepping cylinder can also be arranged in the middle of the supporting wheel group, as shown in the accompanying drawings Figure 64) The fixing frame of the lifting cylinder can also not be installed at both ends of each station, but can be arranged between adjacent stations, as long as the stepping frame can be lifted, as shown in the attached drawings Figure 7 5) The stepping cylinder can also be fixed in a hinged manner, and does not need to be lifted, as long as it can lift the stepping frame and translate the stepping beam. 6) If the bimetallic thin-walled pipe is cast, the pouring device can be arranged at both ends of the pipe mold in the pouring station.
[0035] The centrifugal machine adopts four stations and three pipe molds. The pipe mold in the pipe pushing station is lifted by a crane and is then moved to the cleaning station. The stepping frame is used to move the three pipe molds from the cleaning station to the pipe pushing station at the same time, which strengthens the matching of the production rhythm of each station, adapts to the fast rhythm of the thin-walled pipe centrifugal casting, and improves the production efficiency. The heat preservation furnace arranged on the trolley of the pouring device ensures the pouring temperature. When the heat preservation furnace receives the molten steel, only the weighter supports the heat preservation furnace, and the weight of the molten steel is accurately measured. The heat preservation furnace quickly pours all the molten steel into the runner bag at a fixed point, and can realize quantitative pouring, thereby ensuring the uniformity of the thickness size of the thin-walled pipe, forming well, meeting the requirements of the batch centrifugal production of the thin-walled pipe, and being especially suitable for the centrifugal production of the thin-walled pipe with a relatively long length.
