Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of high-frequency welded pipe technology, specifically to an intelligent control device for the cooling rate of high-frequency welded pipe weld seam. Background Technology

[0002] High-frequency welded pipes are widely used in modern industrial production due to their advantages such as high production efficiency and good welding quality. However, during the high-frequency welding process, the weld seam requires proper cooling after being exposed to high temperatures to ensure weld quality and material properties. After welding, the temperature at the weld seam is usually high, and the cooling rate under natural conditions is relatively slow. This not only prolongs the production process time but may also lead to uneven microstructure at the weld seam, affecting the overall performance of the welded pipe.

[0003] To address this issue, existing technologies commonly employ water cooling for rapid weld cooling. While this method significantly increases cooling rate and shortens processing time, it also has limitations. Specifically, continuous rapid water cooling can lead to excessively high cooling rates, generating significant thermal stress at the weld joint and potentially causing cracks, severely impacting weld quality. Furthermore, excessively rapid cooling can alter the weld metal's microstructure, such as the formation of brittle phases, further reducing the mechanical properties of the weld joint.

[0004] No effective solutions have yet been proposed to address the problems in the relevant technologies. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the problems in related technologies, this utility model proposes an intelligent control device for the cooling rate of high-frequency welded pipe welds to overcome the above-mentioned technical problems existing in the existing related technologies.

[0006] Therefore, the specific technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A smart control device for cooling rate of high-frequency welded pipe weld seam includes a support base, positioning rods fixedly connected to both sides of the support base, a support plate fixedly connected to the top of the positioning rods, an arc-shaped cooling plate rotatably connected to the surface of the support plate via a hinge, a cooling pipe fixedly installed inside the arc-shaped cooling plate, a connecting pipe fixedly connected to one end of the cooling pipe, a booster pump fixedly installed on one side of the support base, a blower fixedly installed on one side of the booster pump, an infrared thermometer fixedly installed on one side of the inner wall of the arc-shaped cooling plate, a recycling bin fixedly connected to the surface of the support base, and a PLC controller fixedly installed on one side of the recycling bin.

[0008] Furthermore, in order to reuse the recycled water at a certain temperature for cooling the weld, a T-shaped pipe is fixedly installed at the water inlet of the booster pump. One end of the T-shaped pipe is fixedly connected to the recycling tank, and the other end is fixedly installed with a cold water pipe. Solenoid valves are fixedly installed on both sides of the T-shaped pipe.

[0009] Furthermore, in order to enable the booster pump and blower to inject cooling water and outside air into the cooling pipes respectively, a water supply pipe is fixedly installed at the outlet of the booster pump, and a rubber hose is fixedly connected to one end of the cooling pipe in each of the two arc-shaped cooling plates. The end of the water supply pipe is fixedly connected to one of the rubber hoses, and an air supply pipe is fixedly installed at the outlet of the blower. The end of the air supply pipe is fixedly connected to the other rubber hose.

[0010] Furthermore, to prevent backflow of cooling water in the cooling pipes, a solenoid valve is fixedly installed at one end of the rubber hose.

[0011] Furthermore, in order to achieve the interconnection between the two arc-shaped cooling plates and the cooling pipes, a positioning plate is fixedly connected to the top of the arc-shaped cooling plate, and the surface of the positioning plate has positioning holes.

[0012] Furthermore, in order to enable the support base to move, casters are rotatably installed on both sides of the bottom surface of the support base.

[0013] Furthermore, to facilitate the pushing and pulling movement of the entire device, a pusher frame is fixedly connected to the surface of the support base.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] 1. The surface temperature of the weld is monitored by an infrared thermometer. The PLC controller can adjust the operation of the booster pump and blower according to the monitored temperature. The recovery tank can recover the cooling water after absorbing heat. The cooling method adopts a staged cooling approach, which uses water cooling, air cooling and recovered warm water. First, water cooling is used to quickly reduce the temperature of the weld. Then, the recovered warm water is used for gentle cooling. Finally, the blower is used for slow air cooling. This multi-stage cooling method can effectively avoid cracking caused by excessive cooling speed, while ensuring the quality and mechanical properties of the weld.

[0016] 2. By recycling the warm water after water cooling and using it in subsequent cooling steps, not only is the utilization rate of water resources improved and the demand for fresh water during the water cooling process reduced, but production costs are also lowered. Furthermore, because warm water cooling is more gradual than cold water cooling, it allows for precise control of the weld cooling efficiency, in addition to air cooling and low-temperature water cooling. This avoids continuous rapid cooling of the weld and prevents weld cracking caused by rapid temperature changes. Attached Figure Description

A nozzle is installed on the surface of the cooling pipe 5. A connecting pipe 6 is fixedly connected to one end of the cooling pipe 5. By rotating the two arc-shaped cooling plates 4, the two cooling pipes 5 can be connected via a connecting pipe 6. Pipes 6 are interconnected; a booster pump 7 is fixedly installed on one side of the surface of the support base 1 for drawing cooling water; a blower 8 is fixedly installed on one side of the booster pump 7 for blowing outside air onto the weld for air cooling; an infrared thermometer 9 is fixedly installed on one side of the inner wall of the arc-shaped cooling plate 4 for measuring the surface temperature of the weld; a recycling box 10 is fixedly connected to the surface of the support base 1 for recycling the cooling water; a PLC controller 11 is fixedly installed on one side of the recycling box 10, and the PLC controller 11 can intermittently control the booster pump 7 and the blower 8 to perform cooling work.

[0028] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a three-way pipe 12 is fixedly installed at the water inlet of the booster pump 7. One end of the three-way pipe 12 is fixedly connected to the recovery tank 10 for the booster pump 7 to extract the recovered cooling water; the other end is fixedly installed with a cold water pipe 13 for connecting to an external cold water source; solenoid valves 14 are fixedly installed on both sides of the three-way pipe 12 for controlling the opening and closing of both ends of the three-way pipe 12; a water supply pipe 15 is fixedly installed at the water outlet of the booster pump 7; a rubber hose 16 is fixedly connected to one end of the cooling pipes 5 in the two arc-shaped cooling plates 4; the end of the water supply pipe 15 is fixedly connected to one of the rubber hoses 16; and an air supply pipe is fixedly installed at the air outlet of the blower 8. The end of the hose is fixedly connected to another rubber hose 16, which is used to allow the booster pump 7 and the blower 8 to inject cooling water and outside air into the cooling pipe 5 respectively, so as to cool the weld by air and water. A solenoid valve 17 is fixedly installed at one end of the rubber hose 16 to prevent the cooling water in the cooling pipe 5 from flowing back. A positioning plate 18 is fixedly connected to the top of the arc-shaped cooling plate 4. The surface of the positioning plate 18 has positioning holes 19, which are used to fix the two arc-shaped cooling plates 4 together by bolts.
