[0030] It should be further understood that the term "and / or" used in the specification and corresponding claims of the present application means any combination of one or more of the listed items and all possible combinations.
[0031] A welding system comprises a liquid nitrogen storage tank, a liquid nitrogen gasifier and a welding device, the liquid nitrogen storage tank is connected with the welding device through the liquid nitrogen gasifier, and the liquid nitrogen in the liquid nitrogen storage tank flows through the liquid nitrogen gasifier and enters the welding device in the form of normal temperature nitrogen gas, thereby providing an inert gas environment for the welding process.
[0032] The specific connection form between the liquid nitrogen storage tank, the liquid nitrogen gasifier and the welding equipment can be set according to actual needs. In a specific embodiment, the liquid nitrogen storage tank and the welding equipment can be directly connected with the liquid nitrogen gasifier, and in another specific embodiment, a connecting pipe can be further added for connection. Both ways have good temperature recovery effect.
[0033] With reference to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the liquid nitrogen gasifier comprises a frame 1 and a heat exchange pipe 2, wherein the heat exchange pipe 2 has an inlet end 21 and an outlet end 22, and the inlet end 21 and the outlet end 22 are arranged diagonally above the frame 1. Further, the heat exchange pipe 2 is arranged in the frame 1 in an S-shaped manner.
[0034] Specifically, the heat exchange pipe 2 comprises straight pipe sections 23 and elbow pipe sections 24 connected in sequence, and a plurality of straight pipe sections 23 and elbow pipe sections 24 are arranged, and the straight pipe sections 23 and the elbow pipe sections 24 are connected together by welding, so as to facilitate the arrangement of the heat exchange pipe 2 according to the actual space size in the frame 1.
[0035] In a specific embodiment, the straight pipe sections 23 are arranged vertically (i.e. along the height direction of the frame 1), and the elbow pipe sections 24 are arranged in 11 sections to connect adjacent straight pipe sections 23, and the final arrangement of the heat exchange pipe 2 is shown in the figure.
[0036] Through this arrangement, the heat exchange pipe 2 has a longer length while occupying a smaller space, and the adjacent heat exchange pipes 2 maintain a suitable distance, which not only guarantees the heat transfer effect, but also makes the space layout of the gasification station more compact, occupies less space, and is also convenient to move.
[0037] Further, in a specific embodiment, pulleys can be installed at the bottom of the frame 1 to make the gasifier more convenient to move. In another specific embodiment, a mobile platform can also be installed at the bottom of the frame 1 to drive the gasifier to move automatically by electric drive or the like, so that it is more convenient to use the gasification station.
[0038] With reference to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the gasifier further comprises heat exchange fins 3 arranged on each straight pipe section 23. The heat exchange fins 3 on the straight pipe sections 23 located in the inner circle of the frame 1 are connected to the frame 1 by welding, thereby fixing the heat exchange pipe 2, and when the heat exchange pipe 2 exchanges heat with the outside, the heat exchange fins 3 further provide a larger heat exchange area, thereby increasing the heat exchange efficiency.
[0039] The heat exchange sheet 3 is made of metal material, and in a specific embodiment, the heat exchange sheet 3 is made of aluminum plate which has good heat conductivity. When the nitrogen element flows in the heat exchange pipe 2, the heat exchange sheet 3 can absorb the external heat well and accelerate the temperature rise of the nitrogen element.
[0040] Further, the heat exchange sheet 3 is provided in plurality, and the plurality of heat exchange sheets 3 are arranged around the straight pipe section 23. In a specific embodiment, the number of the heat exchange sheet 3 is preferably 8, and the heat exchange area provided by the 8 heat exchange sheets 3 can significantly improve the temperature of the nitrogen element.
[0041] It is detected that when the nitrogen element in the form of liquid nitrogen enters from the inlet end 21, the temperature is -200±10℃, and when the nitrogen element flows out from the outlet end 22, it is completely converted into nitrogen gas, and the temperature of the nitrogen gas is normal temperature, which has excellent temperature recovery effect.
[0042] In addition, considering the need to use the gasifier in cold weather, in a specific embodiment, heating wires can also be arranged on the heat exchange sheet 3 to assist the temperature recovery of the nitrogen element. It should be noted that the heating wires need to be arranged at the end of the heat exchange sheet 3 away from the heat exchange pipe 2, and the power of the heating wires can be adjusted to reduce the possibility of explosion due to sudden increase of gas pressure in the straight pipe section 23 when the temperature of a certain heat exchange sheet 3 is too high.
[0043] Embodiment 2:
[0044] With reference to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The difference between this embodiment 2 and the embodiment 1 is that the fixed part 4 is connected between the adjacent straight pipe sections 23. By arranging the fixed part 4, the heat exchange pipe 2 can be better fixed in the frame 1 to improve the stability of the heat exchange pipe 2 and reduce the possibility of shaking of the heat exchange pipe 2 when moving the gasification station.
[0045] Specifically, the fixed part 4 includes a plurality of fixed sheets 41 (preferably two in this embodiment, and in other embodiments, the number of the fixed sheets 41 can be further increased), and the plurality of fixed sheets 41 are uniformly distributed along the length direction of the straight pipe section 23. The two ends of the fixed sheet 41 are connected to the corresponding straight pipe section 23 through the heat exchange sheet 3, and the two ends of the fixed sheet 41 are provided with a pressing groove 411. Correspondingly, the end of the fixed sheet 41 away from the straight pipe section 23 is provided with a protruding part 31.
[0046] In a specific embodiment, the protruding part 31 is placed in the pressing groove 411, and the fixed sheet 41 and the heat exchange sheet 3 are tightly connected together by pressure riveting, which is stable and reliable.
[0047] In another specific embodiment, the protrusion 31 is placed in the pressing groove 411, and the fixing sheet 41 is connected to the heat exchange sheet 3 by means of clamping (for example, the protrusion 31 is tightly fitted with the groove wall of the pressing groove 411, or is fixed by a latch).
[0048] Both of the two ways can better fix the heat exchange pipe 2.
[0049] Meanwhile, the arrangement of the fixing member 4 also makes the gasification station as a whole in a multi-rectangular grid arrangement. In a specific embodiment, the fixing sheet 41 and the heat exchange sheet 3 are both made of aluminum plates. When nitrogen flows through the heat exchange pipe 2, the heat exchange pipe 2 can be simply divided into a front section, a middle section, and a tail section. The fixing sheet 41 connects and conducts heat between the front section, the middle section, and the tail section, so that the temperature recovery effect of the heat exchange pipe 2 can be further improved.
[0050] The embodiments of the specific embodiments are the preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present application. The same parts are indicated by the same reference numerals. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
