Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of steel pipe technology, and in particular relates to a low-temperature resistant and wear-resistant composite stainless steel seamless steel pipe for aerospace applications. Background Technology

[0002] In the aerospace field, seamless steel pipes, as critical components, must withstand harsh environments such as extreme low temperatures, high-intensity pressure, and long-term wear. While traditional stainless steel seamless pipes meet basic requirements to some extent, their low-temperature resistance, wear resistance, and heat exchange efficiency still need improvement. Particularly in spacecraft propulsion, cooling, and fuel delivery systems, the performance of seamless steel pipes directly affects the safety and reliability of the entire space mission.

[0003] Existing seamless steel pipe designs often use a single material, making it difficult to simultaneously meet the requirements of low-temperature resistance, high strength, and wear resistance. Furthermore, traditional designs have shortcomings in thermal management, leading to low energy efficiency. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new type of aerospace-grade low-temperature resistant and wear-resistant composite stainless steel seamless pipe to improve its overall performance and meet the stringent requirements of the aerospace field.

[0004] Therefore, it is essential to invent a low-temperature resistant and wear-resistant composite stainless steel seamless pipe for aerospace applications. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides aerospace-grade low-temperature resistant and wear-resistant composite stainless steel seamless pipe, comprising a composite seamless pipe body, partition discs, a vacuum chamber, a temperature sensor, an anti-wear sleeve, and a spiral annular groove. The composite seamless pipe body contains several partition discs, forming the vacuum chamber between them. Each partition disc is equipped with a temperature sensor. The anti-wear sleeve is compositely connected to the outer surface of the composite seamless pipe body, and the surface of the anti-wear sleeve is provided with a spiral annular groove.

[0006] Preferably, the composite seamless steel pipe body includes an outer steel pipe layer, a middle steel pipe layer, and an inner steel pipe layer, wherein the middle steel pipe layer is metallurgically bonded to the inside of the outer steel pipe layer, and the inner steel pipe layer is metallurgically bonded to the inside of the middle steel pipe layer.

[0007] Preferably, several partition plates are arranged horizontally inside the outer layer of the steel pipe, forming numerous independent vacuum chambers inside. Temperature sensors are installed on the partition plates to monitor the vacuum chambers at corresponding locations and the surrounding temperature.

[0008] Preferably, the outer layer of the steel pipe and the wear-resistant sleeve are both made of low-temperature resistant, high-strength and wear-resistant materials, the middle layer of the steel pipe inside the outer layer of the steel pipe is made of different alloys or composite materials, and the inner layer of the steel pipe inside the middle layer of the steel pipe is made of high-strength and corrosion-resistant stainless steel.

[0009] Preferably, the wear-resistant sleeve is provided with a spiral annular groove on the outside along the axial direction of the seamless steel pipe body of the composite layer, and the surface of the wear-resistant sleeve is coated with a low-temperature resistant coating.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0011] This invention effectively isolates the external low-temperature environment from the direct influence of the fluid inside the steel pipe by employing a steel pipe outer layer made of low-temperature resistant material and an anti-wear sleeve, along with a carefully designed internal vacuum chamber structure, thus significantly improving the low-temperature resistance of the steel pipe. The vacuum chamber design not only reduces heat conduction but also helps maintain a stable temperature of the fluid inside the steel pipe, providing reliable protection for fluid transport in aerospace missions. Simultaneously, temperature sensors on the partition plate can monitor the temperature of the vacuum chamber and its surrounding environment in real time, providing precise data support for the adaptive thermal management system. By flexibly adjusting heating or cooling strategies, precise control of the fluid temperature inside the steel pipe is achieved, further improving energy efficiency.

[0012] This invention features a specially designed anti-wear sleeve coated with a low-temperature resistant paint, significantly enhancing the wear resistance of the steel pipe and extending its service life. Furthermore, the ingenious design of the spiral groove not only increases the surface roughness of the steel pipe and expands the contact area with the external environment, but also effectively reduces the direct impact of external fluids on the pipe surface by guiding fluid flow, further improving wear resistance. Simultaneously, the composite seamless steel pipe body design, through metallurgical integration of different materials such as high-strength, low-temperature resistant, and corrosion-resistant materials, achieves comprehensive optimization of the steel pipe's performance. This not only improves the overall structural strength of the steel pipe but also significantly enhances its corrosion resistance, providing a solid guarantee for the safety and reliability of aerospace missions.

[0019] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 2 As shown:

[0020] The aerospace-grade low-temperature resistant and wear-resistant composite stainless steel seamless pipe provided by this utility model includes a composite seamless steel pipe body 1, partition discs 2, a vacuum chamber 3, a temperature sensor 4, an anti-wear sleeve 5, and a spiral annular groove 6. The composite seamless steel pipe body 1 has a plurality of partition discs 2 inside, and the vacuum chamber 3 is formed between the plurality of partition discs 2. A temperature sensor 4 is installed on each partition disc 2. The anti-wear sleeve 5 is compositely connected to the outer surface of the composite seamless steel pipe body 1, and the surface of the anti-wear sleeve 5 is provided with a spiral annular groove 6.

[0021] Furthermore, the composite seamless steel pipe body 1 adopts an advanced multi-layer composite design, including an outer steel pipe layer 11, a middle steel pipe layer 12, and an inner steel pipe layer 13. These three layers are tightly connected through metallurgical bonding, forming a robust and durable whole. The outer steel pipe layer 11, as the outermost layer, directly faces the external environment and needs to withstand various external pressures and wear; the middle steel pipe layer 12 plays a transition and buffering role, further enhancing the strength and toughness of the steel pipe; while the inner steel pipe layer 13 is in direct contact with the fluid and needs to have good corrosion resistance and smoothness to ensure smooth fluid transmission.

[0022] Furthermore, several partition plates 2 are horizontally arranged inside the outer layer 11 of the steel pipe, dividing the interior of the steel pipe into numerous independent vacuum chambers 3. The design of the vacuum chambers 3 not only reduces heat conduction and improves the thermal insulation performance of the steel pipe, but also effectively isolates the external low-temperature environment from the influence of the fluid inside the steel pipe. In addition, each partition plate 2 is equipped with a temperature sensor 4 to monitor the temperature of the corresponding vacuum chamber 3 and its surroundings in real time. This design allows the steel pipe to automatically adjust its thermal management strategy according to changes in ambient temperature, ensuring a stable internal fluid temperature.

[0023] Furthermore, to further enhance the low-temperature resistance and wear resistance of the steel pipe, both the outer layer 11 and the wear-resistant sleeve 5 are made of low-temperature resistant, high-strength, and wear-resistant materials. These materials not only possess good low-temperature toughness, maintaining stable mechanical properties in extreme low-temperature environments, but also exhibit excellent wear resistance, resisting the wear of the steel pipe by fluids and the external environment. Simultaneously, the intermediate layer 12 is made of different alloys or composite materials; the selection of these materials aims to further enhance the overall strength and toughness of the steel pipe, improving its pressure-bearing capacity and service life.

[0024] Furthermore, the wear-resistant sleeve 5, serving as a protective layer on the outside of the steel pipe, has spiral annular grooves 6 formed along the axial direction of the seamless steel pipe body 1. The design of the spiral annular grooves 6 not only improves the roughness of the outer surface of the steel pipe and increases the contact area with the external environment, but also guides fluid flow, reducing the direct impact of fluid on the steel pipe surface, thereby extending the service life of the steel pipe. In addition, the surface of the wear-resistant sleeve 5 is coated with a low-temperature resistant coating, further enhancing its low-temperature resistance and wear resistance. This design enables the steel pipe to maintain excellent wear resistance even in extreme low-temperature environments, providing strong protection for the safety and reliability of aerospace missions.
