[0002] Hot expansion is a crucial step in steel pipe production, and its stability and accuracy directly affect the final quality of the steel pipe. During hot expansion, the steel pipe needs to undergo a high-temperature and high-pressure environment to achieve precise diameter expansion and shape optimization. However, this process is often accompanied by complex thermal and mechanical stresses, which can easily lead to deformation, damage, or even structural failure of the steel pipe. Therefore, how to improve the stability and accuracy of the hot expansion process has become an urgent problem to be solved in the steel pipe production field.

[0003] Traditional mandrel designs often focus on structural integrity and strength to ensure smooth guidance and support for the steel pipe during hot expansion. However, with the increasing demands on steel pipe production, traditional mandrel designs are no longer sufficient to meet the requirements of modern hot expansion processes.

[0004] Temperature is a crucial parameter in the hot expansion process; it not only directly affects the deformation and shaping effect of the steel pipe, but also relates to the thermal stability and service life of the mandrel. Traditional hot expansion processes often lack real-time temperature monitoring methods, making it impossible to accurately assess the thermal stability of the mandrel, predict potential thermal failure risks, and optimize hot expansion process parameters. Utility Model Content

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the embodiments of this application have the following main advantages:

[0014] Firstly, this device greatly improves the stability of the hot expansion process and the forming quality of the steel pipe. The guide rod and deformation rod adopt an integrated molding structure, ensuring the integrity and strength of the structure and providing stable guidance and support for the steel pipe. The gradual transition diameter-changing structure of the deformation rod allows the steel pipe to gradually and smoothly expand its diameter during the expansion process, effectively avoiding stress concentration and steel pipe damage, thereby ensuring the diameter accuracy and surface quality of the steel pipe. At the same time, the reinforced chamber, reinforcing ring, shock-absorbing pad, and reinforcing ribs inside the mandrel significantly enhance the strength and stability of the mandrel, enabling it to work reliably under high temperature and high pressure environments, further improving the stability of the hot expansion process.

[0015] Secondly, this device also boasts excellent thermal management and ease of maintenance. By creating mounting grooves on the outer surfaces of the guide rod, deformation rod, and sizing rod and installing detection components, the temperature and pressure changes of the mandrel during operation can be monitored in real time. This provides crucial data support for assessing the thermal stability of the mandrel, predicting potential thermal failure risks, optimizing hot expansion process parameters, and precisely controlling the deformation degree and shaping effect of the steel pipe. Furthermore, to improve the accuracy and reliability of temperature measurement, a heat-conducting plate that conforms to the outer wall of the mandrel is installed on the sensor, effectively dispersing and mitigating thermal stress and protecting the sensor from damage.

[0016] Thirdly, this device effectively removes the heat generated during operation by installing a cooling water pipe inside the sizing bar and circulating cooling water, maintaining a stable temperature for the sizing bar and preventing structural failure and performance degradation caused by excessive temperature. It also reduces the generation of thermal stress and further protects the overall structure of the mandrel. These designs not only improve the thermal management efficiency of the mandrel but also make the mandrel more convenient to manufacture and maintain, reducing maintenance costs and improving work efficiency.

The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0025] This utility model embodiment provides a mandrel for hot expansion of steel pipes with temperature measurement function, such as... Figure 1-5 As shown, the device includes a deformation rod 1; a guide rod 2 disposed at one end of the deformation rod 1, the guide rod 2 and the deformation rod 1 being integrally formed; and a sizing rod 3 disposed at the other end of the deformation rod 1, the sizing rod 3 and the deformation rod 1 being provided with an active connection structure; the diameters of the guide rod 2, the deformation rod 1 and the sizing rod 3 are arranged in ascending order, wherein the outer diameter of the deformation rod 1 gradually increases along the thermal expansion direction, forming a gradually transitioning diameter structure, and the guide rod 2 and the sizing rod 3... It is a cylindrical structure with a constant diameter; the guide rod 2, deformation rod 1 and sizing rod 3 are all hollow structures with reinforcing chambers inside; the reinforcing chambers include: reinforcing rings 4 disposed on the inner sidewalls of the guide rod 2, deformation rod 1 and sizing rod 3; shock-absorbing pads 5 are provided on the contact surfaces of the reinforcing rings 4 with the guide rods 2, deformation rod 1 and sizing rod 3; an assembly ring 6 is provided at the middle position of the reinforcing rings 4; and several equidistant reinforcing ribs 7 are fixedly connected between the assembly rings 6 and the reinforcing rings 4.

[0026] It should be noted that the stability and accuracy of the expansion process are easily affected by complex stresses under high temperature and pressure, leading to deformation and damage of the steel pipe. Traditional mandrel designs are difficult to meet the requirements of modern processes and lack real-time temperature monitoring, making it impossible to accurately assess thermal stability, predict thermal failure risks, and optimize process parameters. This solution greatly improves the overall efficiency of the hot expansion process. First, the integrated molding structure of the guide rod 2 and the deformation rod 1, as well as the gradual transition diameter design of the deformation rod 1, ensures that the steel pipe can smoothly and accurately expand its diameter during the expansion process, effectively avoiding stress concentration and damage. This guarantees the diameter accuracy and surface quality of the steel pipe, significantly improving the efficiency of hot expansion. The design ensures the stability of the process and the forming quality of the steel pipe. Secondly, by opening an installation groove 11 on the outer surface of the mandrel and installing a detection component 10, real-time monitoring of the temperature and pressure during the mandrel's operation is achieved, providing key data support for process optimization and steel pipe deformation control. At the same time, the setting of the heat-conducting plate 12 also improves the accuracy of temperature measurement and the protection performance of the sensor. Finally, the design of the cooling water pipe 14 inside the sizing bar 3 effectively reduces heat accumulation during the operation process, maintains the stable temperature of the sizing bar 3 and the overall structure of the mandrel, avoids structural failure and performance degradation caused by high temperature, and reduces the generation of thermal stress, further extending the service life of the mandrel.

[0027] Specifically, in this embodiment, the solution mainly includes a deformation rod 1; a guide rod 2 is located at one end of the deformation rod 1 and is integrally formed with the deformation rod 1 to ensure the integrity and strength of the structure; the guide rod 2 has a constant diameter and is a cylindrical structure, and its design purpose is to provide initial guidance and support for the steel pipe during the hot expansion process to ensure that the steel pipe can smoothly enter the deformation area.

[0028] The deformation rod 1 is the core part of the mandrel, and its outer diameter gradually increases along the thermal expansion direction, forming a gradually transitioning diameter structure. This design allows the steel pipe to gradually and smoothly expand its diameter when passing through the deformation rod 1, avoiding stress concentration and steel pipe damage caused by abrupt diameter changes. At the same time, a reinforcing chamber is set inside the hollow structure of the deformation rod 1. The strength and stability of the deformation rod 1 are enhanced by structures such as the reinforcing ring 4, the shock-absorbing pad 5, and the reinforcing rib 7, ensuring its reliable operation under high temperature and high pressure environments. The sizing rod 3 also has a constant diameter and is a cylindrical structure. Its design purpose is to perform final shaping of the steel pipe, ensuring the diameter accuracy and surface quality of the steel pipe.

[0029] In addition, the reinforcing chambers inside the mandrel not only enhance the overall structural strength, but also improve the mandrel's seismic resistance and fatigue resistance through the design of structures such as reinforcing ring 4, shock-absorbing pad 5, and reinforcing rib 7; these structures can effectively absorb and disperse stress during the thermal expansion process, protecting the mandrel from damage.

[0030] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 4 As shown, the active connection structure includes: a connecting post 8 disposed on the end side of the deformation rod 1, the outer surface of the connecting post 8 being provided with an external spiral groove; an installation groove 9 is provided on the side of the sizing rod 3 opposite to the deformation rod 1, the installation groove 9 being provided with an internal thread groove, and the deformation rod 1 and the sizing rod 3 forming a threaded engagement through the installation groove 9 and the connecting post 8.

[0031] In this embodiment, a stable and adjustable connection can be formed between the deformation rod 1 and the sizing rod 3 through the rotational engagement of the threads. During the thermal expansion process, the deformation rod 1 and the sizing rod 3 can be easily disassembled by simply rotating the threaded engagement between the connecting column 8 and the mounting groove 9. This design improves the adaptability and flexibility of the mandrel. In addition, the adoption of the active connection structure makes the mandrel more convenient to manufacture and maintain. When it is necessary to replace or repair a part of the mandrel, the relevant parts can be easily disassembled and assembled by simply loosening the threaded engagement, which greatly improves work efficiency and reduces maintenance costs.

[0032] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 5 As shown, the outer surfaces of the guide rod 2, deformation rod 1 and sizing rod 3 are all provided with a plurality of mounting grooves 11, and a detection element 10 is provided in the mounting groove 11.

[0033] In this embodiment, these detection elements 10 can monitor the temperature change and stress distribution of the deformed rod 1 in real time during the thermal expansion process, ensuring that the deformation process can proceed smoothly and orderly, and through the analysis of these data.

[0034] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 5 As shown, the detection element 10 includes a temperature sensor and a pressure sensor disposed in the mounting groove 11.

[0035] In this embodiment, the temperature sensor (PT100) is responsible for real-time monitoring of the temperature change of the mandrel during the working process. By placing these temperature sensors in the mounting groove 11, the temperature data of the guide rod 2, deformation rod 1 and sizing rod 3 at different working stages can be accurately captured. These data are of great significance for evaluating the thermal stability of the mandrel, predicting potential thermal failure risks and optimizing the thermal expansion process parameters.

[0036] At the same time, the pressure sensor (516MD) monitors the pressure changes of the mandrel during the working process; by monitoring the pressure distribution of the deformation rod 1 in real time during the hot expansion process, the deformation degree and shaping effect of the steel pipe can be controlled more accurately; at the same time, these pressure data also provide important reference for subsequent steel pipe quality inspection and product evaluation.

[0037] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 5 As shown, the temperature sensor and pressure sensor are provided with heat-conducting plates 12 that conform to the outer walls of the guide rod 2, deformation rod 1 and sizing rod 3.

[0038] In this embodiment, the heat-conducting sheet 12 is tightly attached to the surface of the steel pipe, and through its excellent thermal conductivity, it rapidly transfers the temperature of the outer wall of the mandrel to the detection element 10. In this way, the detection element 10 can capture the temperature change of the mandrel in real time and accurately, providing important data support for subsequent process control and product evaluation. At the same time, the design of the heat-conducting sheet 12 also takes into account the thermal stress that the mandrel may generate during operation. Through its tight attachment to the outer wall of the mandrel, the heat-conducting sheet 12 can effectively disperse and alleviate thermal stress, protecting the sensor from damage caused by excessive thermal stress.

[0039] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 5 As shown, a reserved through hole 13 is provided on the side of the sizing rod 3 away from the deformation rod 1. A cold water pipe 14 is provided in the reserved through hole 13, and one end of the cold water pipe 14 extends to the inner cavity of the sizing rod 3.

[0040] In this embodiment, the cold water pipe 14 is equipped with circulating cold water, which effectively removes the heat generated by the sizing bar 3 during operation; in this way, the sizing bar 3 can be kept within a relatively stable temperature range, avoiding structural failure and performance degradation caused by excessive temperature.

[0041] Meanwhile, the design of the cooling water pipe 14 also takes into account the thermal stress that the mandrel may generate during operation. By reducing the temperature of the sizing bar 3, the cooling water pipe 14 can effectively reduce the generation of thermal stress, thereby protecting the mandrel from damage caused by excessive thermal stress. This design not only improves the reliability and durability of the mandrel, but also ensures that the steel pipe can achieve the best shaping effect during the hot expansion process.

[0042] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 5 As shown, the cold water pipe 14 extends to the outside of the sizing bar 3 and is connected to a connector 15.

[0043] In this embodiment, the connection and disconnection between the cold water pipe 14 and the external cooling system can be completed quickly by setting the connector 15.

[0044] Working principle: The mandrel consists of three parts: guide rod 2, deformation rod 1, and sizing rod 3. The guide rod 2 is located at one end of the deformation rod 1 and adopts an integral molding structure with the deformation rod 1 to ensure the integrity and strength of the structure. The guide rod 2 is designed as a cylindrical structure with a constant diameter. Its main function is to provide initial guidance and support for the steel pipe during the hot expansion process, ensuring that the steel pipe can smoothly enter the deformation area.

[0045] The deformation rod 1 is the core part of the mandrel. Its outer diameter gradually increases along the thermal expansion direction, forming a gradually transitioning variable diameter structure. This design allows the steel pipe to gradually and smoothly expand its diameter when passing through the deformation rod 1, avoiding stress concentration and steel pipe damage caused by abrupt diameter changes.

[0046] The sizing bar 3 is also designed as a cylindrical structure with a constant diameter. It is located at the other end of the deformation bar 1. Its main function is to perform the final shaping of the steel pipe to ensure the diameter accuracy and surface quality of the steel pipe.

[0047] Inside the mandrel, a reinforcing chamber is also provided, which not only enhances the overall structural strength, but also improves the mandrel's seismic resistance and fatigue resistance through the design of structures such as reinforcing ring 4, shock-absorbing pad 5, and reinforcing rib 7; these structures can effectively absorb and disperse stress during the thermal expansion process, protecting the mandrel from damage.

[0048] To achieve a stable and adjustable connection between the deformation rod 1 and the sizing rod 3, a threaded rotary fit is adopted. During the hot expansion process, the deformation rod 1 and the sizing rod 3 can be easily disassembled by simply rotating the threaded fit between the connecting column 8 and the mounting groove 9. This design improves the adaptability and flexibility of the mandrel, and also makes the mandrel more convenient to manufacture and maintain.

[0049] To monitor the temperature and pressure changes of the mandrel in real time during operation, several mounting grooves 11 are made on the outer surfaces of the guide rod 2, deformation rod 1, and sizing rod 3, and temperature and pressure sensors are installed in the mounting grooves 11. The temperature sensors are responsible for monitoring the temperature changes of the mandrel in real time, while the pressure sensors jointly monitor the pressure distribution of the mandrel during operation. These data are of great significance for evaluating the thermal stability of the mandrel, predicting potential thermal failure risks, optimizing hot expansion process parameters, and accurately controlling the deformation degree and shaping effect of the steel pipe.

[0050] To improve the accuracy and reliability of temperature measurement, a heat-conducting plate 12 that conforms to the outer wall of the mandrel is provided on the detection element 10. The heat-conducting plate 12 is closely attached to the surface of the detection element 10 and, through its excellent thermal conductivity, rapidly transfers the temperature of the outer wall of the mandrel to the temperature sensor. At the same time, the setting of the heat-conducting plate 12 also effectively disperses and alleviates thermal stress, protecting the sensor from damage caused by excessive thermal stress.

[0051] In addition, in order to control the temperature of the sizing bar 3 during operation, a reserved through hole 13 is opened on the side of the sizing bar 3 away from the deformation bar 1, and a cooling water pipe 14 is installed in the reserved through hole 13. The cooling water pipe 14 is filled with circulating cooling water, which effectively removes the heat generated by the sizing bar 3 during operation. In this way, the sizing bar 3 can be kept within a relatively stable temperature range, avoiding structural failure and performance degradation caused by excessive temperature. At the same time, the installation of the cooling water pipe 14 also reduces the generation of thermal stress, further protecting the mandrel from damage.
