Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of forging technology, and in particular to an internal descaling device suitable for forging workpieces with deep holes. Background Technology
[0002] In the forging process of steel workpieces, the forgings need to be heated to a high temperature in a furnace. Upon contact with air, the surface of the forging reacts with oxygen in the air to generate oxides, forming an oxide scale with a network of cracks. This oxide scale can lead to various problems such as cracks and defects after the forging is formed, making it impossible to ensure the stability of product quality.
[0003] During the machining of forgings with deep holes, a die is used to extrude the deep holes into the forging. During this process, oxide scale forms on the sidewalls and bottom of the deep holes, with most of the scale concentrated at the bottom due to the extrusion action of the die. To ensure product quality, this oxide scale needs to be removed before the next process. Since the length-to-diameter ratio of the deep hole can sometimes be as high as 10 mm, appropriate methods must be used to remove the oxide scale from the inside of the deep hole, taking into account the process requirements and the characteristics of the forged workpiece.
[0004] Currently, the main method for removing oxide scale from forgings in the forging industry is through descaling equipment, including high-pressure water descaling equipment and mechanical descaling equipment.
[0005] High-pressure water descaling involves spraying high-pressure water generated by a high-pressure water pump through nozzles onto the surface of forgings on a conveyor line to remove oxide scale. Under the action of the nozzles, the high-pressure water forms a fan-shaped water jet with significant impact force, which is sprayed onto the forging surface. Under the action of this high-pressure fan-shaped water jet, the oxide scale is cut, rapidly cooled and contracted, peeling off from the base material and being washed away from the forging surface, thus completely removing the oxide scale. This method is fast, produces little pollution, and has a small temperature drop; however, it can only be used for descaling the outer surface of forgings, and the equipment requires a large footprint and consumes a lot of power, making it unsuitable for descaling deep holes.
[0006] Mechanical descaling involves using equipment such as steel brushes to contact the surface of the forging and then rotating or reciprocating to mechanically remove oxide scale. This method can be used for descaling inside deep holes; however, its effectiveness is limited by space constraints when the holes are long and small in diameter. Furthermore, it is slow and causes significant temperature drops, which can affect the temperature during subsequent forging processing and consequently impact product quality.
[0007] To address the aforementioned technical deficiencies, this utility model provides an internal descaling device suitable for forgings with deep holes, specifically addressing the descaling requirements of forgings with deep holes. This method combines the process flow and forging transfer method of forgings with deep holes. The forging is held by a robotic arm and grippers to complete the deep hole descaling operation, and a high-pressure water jet is sprayed from a specially designed nozzle for descaling. The process is fast, has a good descaling effect, and allows for flexible adjustment of equipment parameters according to process requirements. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation
[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0022] Example 1, please refer to the accompanying drawings in the instruction manual. Figures 1-3As shown, an internal descaling device suitable for deep-hole forging workpieces includes a foundation 5, an internal descaling machine 1, and a robot 4. The internal descaling machine 1 is installed in the pit portion of the foundation 5, and the robot 4 is located on the platform of the foundation 5 and is higher than the internal descaling machine 1. In this embodiment, during the processing of the deep-hole forging 2, after the deep-hole forming process is completed, the robot 4 and the gripper 3 installed on the robot 4 need to clamp the deep-hole forging 2 from the forging equipment of the previous process and transport it to the internal descaling device. During the handling of the deep hole forging 2, the robot 4 aligns the deep hole of the deep hole forging 2 downwards with the nozzle 103 of the inner wall descaling machine 1 installed in the pit of the foundation 5. In this embodiment, the inner wall descaling machine 1 includes a water tank 101 and a fast solenoid valve 102 located on one side of the water tank 101. The fast solenoid valve 102 is connected to the water tank 101 through a high-pressure water pipe. The nozzle 103 of the high-pressure water pipe passes through the side plate of the water tank 101 and is located above the opening of the water tank 101. A high-pressure water interface is also provided on the high-pressure water pipe, which is located on one side of the fast solenoid valve 102.
[0023] In Example 2, an energy storage mechanism is provided on one side of the water tank 101, and the energy storage mechanism is connected to the water tank 101 through a base plate. The energy storage mechanism includes an accumulator 106 and a three-phase asynchronous motor 104 connected to the accumulator 106. The accumulator 106 is connected to a high-pressure water interface through a power supply pipe. A high-pressure crankshaft pump 105 is provided between the three-phase asynchronous motor 104 and the accumulator 106. The three-phase asynchronous motor 104 is connected to and controls the high-pressure crankshaft pump 105 through a power supply line.
[0024] In Example 3, based on Example 1, a screen 108 is provided below the nozzle 103, and a mesh partition 107 is provided between the screen 108 and the nozzle 103. The water tank 101 contains a first tank 110 and a second tank 111. A screen filter plate 109 is provided between the first tank 110 and the second tank 111, and a water pipe 112 is provided between the second tank 111 and the accumulator 106. In this example, the opening of the nozzle 103 is vertically upward, and a deep-hole forging 2 is provided above the opening. The deep-hole forging 2 is fixed to the gripper 3 of the robot 4, and the gripper 3 is connected to the robot 4 via a degree-of-freedom swing arm 6. The deep hole of the deep-hole forging 2 is aligned with the opening of the nozzle 103. In this example, the degree-of-freedom swing arm 6 can rotate 360 degrees in all directions, and the robot 4 has a built-in positioning function. This positioning function of the robot 4 is already very mature in existing technology and will not be described in detail here.
[0025] Example 4, a descaling method for any of the aforementioned descaling devices for the inner wall of forged workpieces with deep holes, comprising the following steps:
[0026] S1. Robot 4 carries deep-hole forging 2 to the inner wall descaling machine;
[0027] S2, the gripper 3 holds the deep hole of the deep hole forging 2 downward and moves it with the nozzle 103 to center or move it up, down, left, right and adjust the orientation of the deep hole, and wash the deep hole forging 2 with high pressure water sprayed from the nozzle 103 at multiple angles or multiple times.
[0028] S3. Open the rapid solenoid valve 102, and the high-pressure water in the accumulator 106 is sprayed into the deep hole through the nozzle 103 for descaling. The columnar high-pressure water jet from the nozzle 103 peels off the oxide scale inside the deep hole, especially at the bottom. After the descaling operation is completed, the rapid solenoid valve 102 closes, and the three-phase asynchronous motor 104 starts running, driving the high-pressure crankshaft pump 105 to fill the accumulator 106 with water. Once the pressure sensor in the circuit detects that the pressure has reached the predetermined value, the three-phase asynchronous motor 104 can stop running. At this time, the robot 4 can continue to transport the descaled deep hole forging 2 to the equipment for the next process. In this embodiment, the method has the following advantages:
[0029] When combined with the handling of deep-hole forgings 2, there is no need to install common conveyor lines or other equipment on the descaling equipment for handling deep-hole forgings 2. This not only results in lower equipment costs and a smaller footprint, but also eliminates the need for additional time, achieves faster descaling speed, and minimizes the temperature drop of the workpiece.
[0030] In this embodiment, the inner wall dephosphorizer 1 can be installed below ground, which occupies less space and has less impact on the overall layout of the production line.
[0031] S4. After phosphorus removal, the high-pressure wastewater is filtered by the grid plate 107 and the screen 108 and then enters the first tank 110 of the water tank (101). The high-pressure wastewater in the first tank 110 then enters the second tank 111 through the screen filter plate 109.
[0032] S5. The high-pressure wastewater in the second box 111 is filtered by the screen filter plate 109 and then enters the high-pressure crankshaft pump 105 through the filter water pipe 112. After the high-pressure crankshaft pump 105 provides water to the accumulator 106, it is pressurized into high-pressure water and recycled.
[0033] In this embodiment, the water sprayed from nozzle 103 flows downwards along with the oxide scale after the dephosphorization process is completed. After being filtered by the mesh plate 107 and the screen 108, it enters the first tank 110 and the second tank 111 of the water tank 101. In the first tank 110, it is further filtered by the screen filter plate 109, and then flows back to the high-pressure crankshaft pump 105 through the corresponding pipeline. In this embodiment, the method has the following advantages:
[0034] Due to the requirements of production cycle and workpiece cooling rate, the time required for descaling needs to be as short as possible. Therefore, an accumulator 106 is used to store water at a predetermined pressure in advance. After the deep hole forging 2 is adjusted into place by the robot 4, the fast solenoid valve 102 is fully opened within 0.2 seconds. The water in the accumulator 106 can be sprayed with water at a predetermined pressure of 4-6 MPa in a short time without waiting for the three-phase asynchronous motor 104 and the high-pressure crankshaft pump 105 to start.
[0035] Based on the current process, the descaling cycle time for general workpieces using high-pressure water is approximately one piece per minute. By employing an accumulator 106, a lower-flow-rate high-pressure crankshaft pump 105 and a lower-power three-phase asynchronous motor 104 can be selected. When nozzle 103 is not required, the three-phase asynchronous motor 104 can drive the high-pressure crankshaft water pump 105 to pre-fill the accumulator 106 with water. Once the pressure sensor in the pipeline detects that the pressure has reached a predetermined value, the three-phase asynchronous motor 104 can stop operating. This saves on equipment cost and size, reduces the required power, and lowers operating costs.
[0036] In Example 5, in S3, the high-pressure water in the accumulator 106 is injected into the deep hole at a rate of 0.3 L / s to 1.5 L / s.
[0037] In Example 6, in S3, the length of the deep hole is 200mm-500mm, and the diameter of the deep hole is 35mm-65mm. The water outlet shape of the nozzle 103 is adjusted by the fast solenoid valve 102. According to the process requirements and the distribution of oxide scale in the inner hole of the workpiece, the nozzle 103 can be used to spray water in different forms such as columnar or conical high-pressure water flow by adjusting the water flow speed of the fast solenoid valve 102. The robot 4 holds the workpiece and rotates and translates it to achieve better descaling effect and greater process flexibility.
[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
