Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of copper tube production technology, and in particular to an automatic liquid nitrogen pressurization and depressurization device for copper tube production. Background Technology
[0002] During the production of copper tubes, such as after the drawing or extrusion molding process, nitrogen gas needs to be introduced into the copper tube to prevent oxidation inside.
[0003] Nitrogen is typically stored in liquid nitrogen. For easy transport, a constant pressure must be maintained within the liquid nitrogen tank; however, excessive pressure poses a risk of tank rupture. The current solution is manual pressure relief, where a pressure relief valve is opened when the pressure exceeds a threshold. However, manual pressure relief is highly subjective and depends on the operator's responsibility, thus safety cannot be guaranteed. Utility Model Content

[0026] Example
[0027] like Figure 1-5As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: an automatic liquid nitrogen pressurization and depressurization device for copper tube production, including a conveying pipeline body 1, a monitoring pipe 2 fixedly connected to the outer surface of the conveying pipeline body 1, a monitoring sleeve 3 fixedly connected to the upper end of the monitoring pipe 2 through a flange, a depressurization pipe 4 fixedly connected to the outer surface of the monitoring sleeve 3, a venting tank 5 fixedly connected to one end of the depressurization pipe 4, a liquid nitrogen pressurization pump 6 fixedly installed at the upper end of the venting tank 5, a pressurization pipe 7 fixedly connected to one end of the liquid nitrogen pressurization pump 6, and a pressurization pipe 7 fixedly connected to the outer surface of the conveying pipeline body 1.
[0028] The monitoring sleeve 3 is equipped with a pressure monitoring device, which includes an annular sealing block 8. The outer surface of the annular sealing block 8 is fixedly sleeved with the inner wall of the monitoring sleeve 3.
[0029] A lead screw 81 is mounted on the upper surface of the monitoring sleeve 3 via a bearing, and an adjusting handle 82 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the lead screw 81.
[0030] The other end of the lead screw 81 passes through and extends into the interior of the monitoring sleeve 3. The outer surface of the other end of the lead screw 81 is threadedly connected to a threaded sleeve 83. The lower end of the threaded sleeve 83 is fixedly connected to an adjusting plate 84. The rotation of the lead screw 81 drives the adjusting plate 84 to move up and down through the threaded sleeve 83.
[0031] The outer surface of the adjusting plate 84 is movably sleeved with the inside of the monitoring sleeve 3. The inner wall of the adjusting plate 84 is movably sleeved with symmetrically distributed guide rods 85. One end of each guide rod 85 is fixedly connected to a pressure plate 86. The guide rods 85 improve the stability of the pressure plate 86 when it moves up and down. The guide rods 85 are two-section telescopic rods. The upper telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the inner top wall of the monitoring sleeve 3, thereby preventing the adjusting plate 84 from rotating.
[0032] The outer surface of the pressure plate 86 is movably sleeved with the outer surface of the monitoring sleeve 3. A support spring 87 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the pressure plate 86. One end of the support spring 87 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the adjusting plate 84. A sealing plug 88 is movably sleeved on the inner wall of the monitoring sleeve 3. The adjusting plate 84 changes the elastic potential energy of the support spring 87, thereby adjusting the pressure applied to the pressure plate 86.
[0033] The lower surface of the sealing plug 88 contacts the upper end of the annular sealing block 8. A pressure sensor 89 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the sealing plug 88. The upper end of the pressure sensor 89 is fixedly installed on the lower end of the pressure plate 86. The pressure sensor 89 is electrically connected to an external display, thereby avoiding the transmission of pressure values to the display via electrical signals, which facilitates the operator's viewing.
[0034] A first check valve 810 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the pressure relief pipe 4, and a second check valve 811 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the pressure boosting pipe 7. The first check valve 810 and the second check valve 811 respectively prevent backflow in the pressure relief pipe 4 and the pressure boosting pipe 7.
[0035] The pressure monitoring device enables automated monitoring of the liquid nitrogen pressure inside the conveying pipe body 1. When the liquid nitrogen pressure inside the conveying pipe body 1 exceeds the preset value, it automatically releases pressure and stores the released liquid nitrogen. It also automatically pressurizes the stored liquid nitrogen when the liquid nitrogen pressure inside the conveying pipe body 1 is lower than the preset value, thereby ensuring the stability of the liquid nitrogen pressure inside the conveying pipe body and improving the production quality of copper pipes.
[0036] The working process of this utility model:
[0037] Step 1: Before use, first rotate the lead screw 81 by adjusting the handle 82. The rotation of the lead screw 81 drives the adjusting plate 84 to move downward through the threaded sleeve 83. The movement of the adjusting plate 84 causes the support spring 87 to be squeezed and contracted. The elastic force of the support spring 87 applies pressure to the pressure sensor 89 through the pressure plate 86. At this time, the operator can check the pressure value through the external display. When it rises to the preset value, stop rotating the lead screw 81.
[0038] Step 2: Liquid nitrogen is transported through the main body of the conveying pipeline 1. The pressure during liquid nitrogen transport is applied through the detection tube to the lower end of the sealing plug 88, causing the sealing plug 88 to rise slightly and move away from contact with the annular sealing block 8. At this time, the pressure sensor 89 on the display increases, but remains within the preset pressure range.
[0039] Step 3: When the liquid nitrogen pressure inside the conveying pipe body 1 continues to rise, the sealing plug 88 drives the support spring 87 to continuously contract and disengage from the pressure relief pipe 4. At this time, the liquid nitrogen is transported to the venting tank 5 for storage through the cooperation of the pressure relief pipe 4 and the first one-way valve 810, thereby reducing the liquid nitrogen pressure inside the conveying pipe body. When the pressure returns to normal, the sealing plug 88 moves down to seal the pressure relief pipe 4 through the elastic force of the support spring 87.
[0040] Step 4: When the liquid nitrogen pressure inside the main body of the conveying pipeline 1 is lower than the minimum set value, the pressure on the lower end of the sealing plug 88 decreases, thereby causing the elastic force of the supporting spring 87 to drive the sealing plug 88 to continue to descend and move until it contacts the annular sealing block 8. At the same time, the pressure value on the display will continue to decrease. The liquid nitrogen booster pump 6 is started by the external PLC controller to transport the liquid nitrogen in the vent pipe to the inside of the pipeline body through the booster pipe 7 and the second one-way valve 811, thereby increasing the conveying pressure of liquid nitrogen inside the pipeline body. When the pressure stabilizes, the operation of the liquid nitrogen booster pump 6 can be stopped.
[0041] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
