Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of metallurgical equipment technology, and in particular relates to an air mist cooling experimental device. Background Technology

[0002] Aerosol cooling is a technology that uses compressed air to atomize water, forming a fine, dispersed mist for cooling. Aerosol nozzles can control water flow and droplet size by changing air and water pressure, thereby altering the cooling heat exchange conditions and meeting cooling requirements over a wide range of cooling rate control. Currently, aerosol cooling has become the basic form of post-rolling cooling for thin strip casting and rolling.

[0003] To test the heat exchange capacity of aerosol cooling, an aerosol cooling experimental platform is typically established. Heated steel plates and other materials are subjected to aerosol cooling. The temperature of the steel plate is measured using thermocouples embedded inside or welded to its surface. The convective heat transfer coefficient (HTC) of the steel plate surface is obtained through temperature field back-calculation. However, because experimental platforms typically occupy a small area, the hot steel plate is often stationary or moves at very low speeds, such as 5 m / min. The HTC value measured at these low experimental speeds differs significantly from the HTC value at actual post-casting and rolling speeds (e.g., 200 m / min). Using the experimentally measured HTC value to predict the actual aerosol cooling temperature of the steel plate will result in a large error, leading to low accuracy in cooling model calculations.

[0004] Therefore, it is of great significance to design and develop an experimental device that can provide a more realistic simulation of specimen cooling.

[0046] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a thin steel plate aerosol cooling experimental device includes:

[0047] The linear motor is mounted on the mechanical support platform 25. It consists of a linear motor mover 26 and a linear motor permanent magnet guide rail 27. The linear motor mover 26 (model TLM235, motor type H1154, maximum speed 4.4m / s, maximum acceleration 10G, rated thrust 1140N, maximum thrust 2622N, repeatability ±1μm) can run unidirectionally or reciprocally on the linear motor permanent magnet guide rail 27 (length 4.5m) under the drive of the driver 12.

[0048] An auxiliary sliding guide rail 211 is arranged parallel to the linear motor permanent magnet guide rail 27 and has a hollow area between it and the linear motor permanent magnet guide rail 27.

[0049] The linear motor permanent magnet guide rail 27 includes a permanent magnet assembly 28, on both sides of the permanent magnet assembly 28 along its length direction, a first mover slide rail 212 and a second mover slide rail 213 are provided; specifically, there is a hollow area between the second mover slide rail and the auxiliary sliding guide rail 211.

[0055] In one embodiment, five exhaust mist nozzles 16 are installed on the upper spray beam, and five exhaust mist nozzles 22 are also installed on the lower spray beam, with the upper mist nozzles 16 and the lower mist nozzles 22 corresponding one-to-one.

[0056] In one embodiment, the upper aerosol nozzle 16 and the lower aerosol nozzle 22 are respectively connected to a water supply device and an air supply device. The upper spray beam includes an upper water pipe 17 and an upper air pipe 18; the inlet of the upper water pipe 17 is connected to the water supply device, and the outlet of the upper water pipe 17 is connected to the upper aerosol nozzle 16; the inlet of the upper air pipe 18 is connected to the air supply device, and the outlet of the upper air pipe 18 is connected to the upper aerosol nozzle 16. The lower spray beam also includes a lower water pipe 23 and a lower air pipe 24; the inlet of the lower water pipe 23 is connected to the water supply device, and the outlet of the lower water pipe 23 is connected to the lower aerosol nozzle 22; the inlet of the lower air pipe 24 is connected to the air supply device, and the outlet of the lower air pipe 24 is connected to the lower aerosol nozzle 22.

[0057] In one embodiment, the water supply device uses a pipeline centrifugal pump 2 (80mm diameter, 44m³ / h flow rate) 3 / h, head 60m) from pool 1 (100m 3 Water is pumped into the main water supply pipeline (DN80). After pressure regulation by a gate valve 3 and a pressure gauge 4, the water is divided into a first branch pipe and a second branch pipe. The first branch pipe is connected to the inlet of the upper water pipe 17 to supply water to the upper aerosol nozzle 16. The second branch pipe is connected to the inlet of the lower water pipe 23 to supply water to the lower aerosol nozzle 22. A manual on / off valve 5 (DN50), an electromagnetic flow meter 6 (DN50), an electromagnetic regulating valve 7 (DN50), a pneumatic on / off valve 8 (DN50), and a pressure gauge 4 are respectively installed on the first and second branch pipes.

[0058] In one embodiment, the air supply device mainly consists of an air compressor 9 (discharge capacity 6.2m³). 3 Compressed air is generated at a rate of 0.8 MPa / min and discharged at an exhaust pressure of 0.8 MPa, and then delivered to a 10m³ storage tank. 3The compressed air is then transported to the main gas supply pipeline (DN80) through the gas storage tank 10. After being regulated by a gas pressure regulating valve 11 and a pressure gauge 4, the compressed air is divided into a first branch pipe and a second branch pipe. The first branch pipe is connected to the inlet of the upper part of the air pipe 18 to supply air to the upper aerosol nozzle 16.

[0059] In one embodiment, a roller conveyor 20 is provided below the linear motor permanent magnet guide rail 27, corresponding to the upper and lower spray beams. The lower spray beam is located below the roller conveyor 20, which is lower than the specimen tray 14. Six cylindrical hollow rollers 20 (Φ260×350mm) are arranged sequentially on the roller conveyor 20. The roller conveyor 20 does not perform a transmission function; it is only used to simulate the working conditions of actual aerosol nozzles. This is because there are rollers on the actual aerosol cooling line, and the aerosol nozzles are arranged above and below the rollers, making the simulation of this device more realistic. Each row of upper aerosol nozzles 16 is arranged sequentially between two rollers, with each row of upper aerosol nozzles 16 staggered by 1 to 2 nozzles. That is, the five rows of upper aerosol nozzles contain 1, 2, 1, 2, and 1 nozzles respectively. Each row needs to be staggered by a certain distance to maintain cooling uniformity. Five rows of lower aerosol nozzles 22 are also installed under the roller conveyor. Each row of lower aerosol nozzles 22 is arranged between the two roller conveyors. Each row of lower aerosol nozzles 22 is staggered by 2 to 1 nozzles. That is, the five rows of lower aerosol nozzles 22 contain 2, 1, 2, 1, and 2 nozzles respectively. In order to maintain the uniformity of cooling, each row also needs to be staggered by a certain distance.

[0060] Preferably, a water collection trough and a drain valve are provided at the lower part of the roller conveyor 20.

[0061] In one embodiment, one end of the specimen tray 14 is connected to the linear motor mover 26, and the other end is connected to the auxiliary sliding guide rail 211. Driven by the linear motor mover 26, the specimen tray 14 can continuously enter and leave the aerosol cooling area (the hollow area corresponding to the upper spray beam and the lower spray beam). To maintain balance, the other end of the specimen tray 14 slides on the auxiliary sliding guide rail 211 via the slider 13. Before testing, the thin steel plate specimen 30 (575 mm in length and 275 mm in width) is fixed to the specimen tray 14 by positioning pins 29 (the thin steel plate specimen has positioning holes, which are used to fix it to the positioning pins 29). The thin steel plate specimen 30 is exposed in the hollow structure area of ​​the specimen tray 14. A pyrometer 15 (range 300-1100℃) is arranged at the inlet of the mist cooling zone, and a pyrometer 19 (range 300-1100℃) is also arranged at the outlet to measure the temperature of the thin steel plate specimen 30 in the specimen tray 14.

[0062] The working principle of the thin steel plate aerosol cooling experimental device provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0063] After being heated in a furnace, the wire-cut thin steel plate specimen 30 is fixed on the specimen tray 14 by positioning pins 29, exposing the hollow structural area of ​​the specimen tray 14. Driven by the driver 12, the linear motor mover 26 drives the specimen tray 14 and the thin steel plate specimen 30 on it to run according to a preset stroke and speed regime. It accelerates before entering the aerosol cooling zone and passes through the aerosol cooling zone located between the upper and lower spray beams at a constant speed. The temperature of the thin steel plate specimen 30 when entering the aerosol cooling zone can be measured by the inlet pyrometer 15, and the temperature when leaving the aerosol cooling zone can be measured by the outlet pyrometer 19. Driven by the linear motor mover 26, the thin steel plate specimen 30 can also reciprocate along the linear motor permanent magnet guide rail 27, passing through the aerosol cooling zone multiple times and continuously cooling down.

[0064] In one embodiment, the linear motor can perform unidirectional and reciprocating motion in a "stationary-acceleration-constant speed-deceleration-stationary" manner, which can drive the thin steel plate specimen 30 to be cooled once or multiple times in the cooling zone where the aerosol nozzle is located.

[0065] This invention is not only applicable to thin steel plates, but also has a good cooling effect on thick steel plates and other thin and thick plates.

[0066] The foregoing description of specific exemplary embodiments of the present invention is for illustrative and explanatory purposes. These descriptions are not intended to limit the present invention to the precise forms disclosed, and it will be apparent that many changes and variations can be made in accordance with the foregoing teachings.
