Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of machining, and in particular to a device for boring boiler tubes. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of industrial boiler manufacturing and maintenance, boiler tubes are key components, and their quality and performance directly affect the overall operating efficiency and safety of the boiler. With the continuous development of industrial technology, the precision requirements for boiler tubes are becoming increasingly stringent.
[0003] Traditional boiler tube machining methods have several limitations in the boring stage. Early boring operations relied heavily on manual operation with simple boring tools, a method that was inefficient and struggled to guarantee dimensional accuracy and cylindricity. The worker's skill level significantly impacted machining quality, and prolonged, high-intensity manual operation easily led to fatigue, further reducing the stability of machining accuracy. Subsequent semi-automated boring equipment, while improving efficiency to some extent, still suffered from poor adaptability to boiler tubes of varying diameters and lengths. When faced with batch production tasks involving diverse tube diameters, frequent adjustments to equipment parameters were often necessary, increasing downtime and production costs. Traditional boring devices also lacked precise control of cutting forces during the boring process, easily causing boiler tube deformation, especially with thin-walled tubes. Furthermore, poor chip removal during machining affected tool life and surface finish, resulting in a surface roughness that failed to meet modern industrial standards. This negatively impacted the boiler tube's heat transfer and corrosion resistance, failing to meet the demands of efficient, energy-saving, and safe modern industrial boiler systems.

The clamping component 5 is used to clamp the boiler tube, the roller assembly 9 is used to support the boiler tube, and the boring component 8 is used to bore the end face of the boiler tube.
[0025] A baffle 11 is provided above the base plate 3. A first lead screw 12 is rotatably connected to the baffle 11. A first motor 13 and its reduction gear are fixedly connected to the other end of the first lead screw 12. The first motor 13 and its reduction gear are fixedly installed on the base plate 3. The baffle 11 is located in front of the sliding seat 4. The sliding seat 4 has a threaded hole that penetrates through the sliding seat 4 and is threadedly connected to the first lead screw 12. Limit keys are provided on the left and right sides of the base plate 3, and limit grooves are provided on the left and right sides of the sliding seat 4. The sliding connection between the base plate 3 and the sliding seat 4 is achieved by the sliding engagement of the limit keys and the limit grooves.
[0026] A second lead screw 16 is provided on the work plate 10, and a manual crank 17 is provided at both ends of the second lead screw 16. The roller assembly 9 includes a left roller frame 91 and a right roller frame 92, both of which are slidably connected to the work plate 10. The left roller and the right roller are slidably connected to the work plate 10. Both the left roller frame 91 and the right roller frame 92 are provided with through threaded holes. The second lead screw 16 is threadedly connected to the left roller frame 91 and the right roller frame 92. Both the left roller frame 91 and the right roller frame 92 are provided with rollers. The lifting frame 6 is located in front of the baffle 11. The boring part 8 includes a front edge frame 81, which is fixedly connected to the front end of the work plate. A lifting cylinder 82 is fixedly installed on the front edge frame 81. The front end of the telescopic rod on the lifting cylinder 82 is fixedly connected to a support plate 83. A telescopic cylinder 84 is fixedly connected to the support plate 83. A boring tool 1 and a cooling device 2 are provided at the front end of the telescopic cylinder 84.
[0027] The clamping component includes a clamping cylinder 51, which is hollow and open at one end. A clamping cover 52 is fixedly connected to the opening of the clamping cylinder 51. A wheel 53 is rotatably mounted inside the clamping cylinder 51, and the wheel 53 has six second limiting grooves 54. A second motor and its clutch device 55 are installed inside the clamping cylinder 51, and the second motor and its clutch device 55 drive the wheel 53. A sliding groove 56 is provided behind the clamping cover 52, and there are six sliding grooves 56. The clamping cover 52 has a through opening. The through opening of the clamping cover 52 is surrounded by six sliding grooves 56. The six sliding grooves 56 are evenly distributed and interconnected, forming a hexagonal groove. Each sliding groove 56 is slidably connected to a clamping block 57. Each clamping block 57 has a second limiting key 58 at its rear end, and the second limiting key 58 is slidably connected to the corresponding second limiting groove 54. The clamping cylinder 51 is rotatably mounted on the sliding seat 4. A third motor 18 is provided behind the sliding seat 4, and the third motor 18 coaxially drives the clamping cylinder 51.
[0028] In use, the boiler tube to be bored is hoisted to the vicinity of the device. The third motor 18 is operated to drive the clamping cylinder 51 to rotate, so that the clamping member 5 is in an angle position that facilitates the placement of the boiler tube. Then, one end of the boiler tube is inserted into the through hole of the clamping cover 52. During the insertion process, care should be taken not to touch the surface of the wheel 53 to avoid damaging the wheel or affecting the accuracy of subsequent clamping actions. Then, the second motor and its clutch device 55 are started. The second motor and its clutch device 55 drive the wheel 53 to rotate. Since the six second limiting grooves 54 on the wheel 53 slide in cooperation with the second limiting keys 58 at the rear end of each clamping block 57, the rotation of the wheel 53 will drive the six clamping blocks 57 to slide synchronously in the six sliding grooves 56 of the clamping cover 52. The six evenly distributed and interconnected sliding grooves 56, which form a hexagonal groove, guide the clamping blocks 57 to converge from the periphery to the center, thereby achieving a stable clamping of the boiler tube. During this process, the uniform force applied by the six clamping blocks 57 effectively prevents damage to the boiler tube surface due to uneven clamping force, ensuring that it will not loosen or shift during subsequent processing.
[0029] Subsequently, based on the length of the boiler tube and the processing position requirements, the first motor 13 and its reduction gear are started. The first motor 13 drives the first lead screw 12 to rotate. Since the sliding seat 4 is threadedly connected to the first lead screw 12 through its threaded hole, and the base plate 3 and the sliding seat 4 are slidingly engaged by the limit key and the limit groove to ensure smooth sliding, the rotation of the first lead screw 12 will drive the sliding seat 4 to move back and forth along the base plate 3, thereby moving the clamped boiler tube to the appropriate axial processing position. At the same time, by controlling the extension and retraction of the four support cylinders 7 on the lifting frame 6, the height of the working plate 10 is adjusted so that the roller assembly 9 on it can just contact the boiler tube, providing good support and further ensuring the accurate and stable position of the boiler tube in space. Next, the operator can rotate the hand cranks 17 at both ends of the second lead screw 16 on the work plate 10. The rotation of the second lead screw 16 will cause the left roller frame 91 and the right roller frame 92, which are threaded to it, to slide relative to each other on the work plate 10. This allows the spacing of the roller assembly 9 to be adjusted according to the diameter of the boiler tube, so as to achieve precise fitting and support for the boiler tube and ensure that it remains stable in the horizontal direction, laying a solid foundation for boring.
[0030] After completing the above preparations and adjustments, the boring process begins. The height of the support plate 83 can be adjusted by the telescopic movement of the height-increasing cylinder 82 fixed on the front support 81, thereby adjusting the height of the telescopic cylinder 84, the boring tool 1 at its front end, and the cooling device 2, aligning them with the end face of the boiler tube to be machined. Then, the telescopic cylinder 84 is activated, pushing the boring tool 1 slowly towards the end face of the boiler tube. Simultaneously, the cooling device 2 starts working, promptly removing the heat generated during boring to prevent the boring tool 1 from overheating and causing accelerated wear, affecting machining accuracy. During the boring process, if boring is required at different locations on the end face of the boiler tube, the third motor 18 can again drive the clamping cylinder 51 to rotate the boiler tube, coordinating with the feed action of the boring tool 1 to achieve precise boring of the entire end face from all directions, ensuring that the machined holes meet accuracy requirements and process standards. After the boring operation on the end face of the boiler tube is completed, first stop the operation of the telescopic cylinder 84, the heightening cylinder 82, and other related power components. Then, operate the second motor and its clutch device 55 to reverse, causing the clamping block 57 to release its grip on the boiler tube. The machined boiler tube is then removed from the device, completing the entire machining process. Afterwards, a simple cleaning and inspection of the various components of the device can be performed to prepare for the next boring operation.
