Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of elbow pipeline anticorrosion, specifically, a kind of metal elbow pipe body hot melt inner lining forming die. BACKGROUND

[0002] Polyurethane lining elbow is an important pipeline connecting piece widely used in chemical industry, petroleum, water treatment, mining and other fields, and its design purpose is mainly to form a uniform and dense polyurethane anticorrosion wear-resistant lining layer inside steel or other rigid pipeline to improve the service life and stability of elbow under complex working conditions. This lining layer provides more excellent performance for traditional steel or other rigid pipelines, especially when transporting corrosive media or fluid containing particles, it can effectively prolong the service life of the pipeline and reduce the economic loss and downtime risk caused by frequent maintenance.

[0003] The reason why polyurethane material can become the ideal choice for elbow lining is due to its excellent physical and chemical properties. First, polyurethane has strong acid and alkali resistance, can resist the corrosion of various chemical media, and performs well in the environment with strong corrosion. Secondly, its excellent wear resistance can effectively reduce the damage to the inner wall caused by high-speed fluid scouring or wear. In addition, polyurethane also has good chemical stability and strong anti-aging ability, and can maintain stable performance for a long time even in high temperature, high pressure or complex chemical environment. Therefore, polyurethane lining elbow is increasingly widely used in industrial fields.

[0004] However, the elbow lining of steel or other rigid pipeline is usually prepared by first preparing the elbow of steel or other rigid pipeline, and then adding the lining layer. Since the elbow itself is a special-shaped component, its irregular shape makes it difficult for the mold to effectively enter the inner cavity of the elbow or to be demolded from the inner cavity of the elbow when adding polyurethane lining with the mold. This leads to technical difficulties such as damage to the inner wall of the elbow or the lining layer, difficulty in demolding, or difficulty in controlling the thickness and uniformity of the lining layer.

[0005] CN111497219A provides a processing method for steel pipe elbow lining, the feature is that the lining layer is added in the gap between the inner mold pipe and the steel pipe inner wall in the form of granules, then liquid is poured to extrude the inner mold pipe with hydraulic pressure to make the granules adhere to the steel pipe inner wall (additional adhesive is needed, the granules cannot be adhered); then the pouring liquid is released, and heat-resistant granules such as salt are filled in the inner cavity, and then heated after sealing, the heat conduction effect and the property of not being easy to melt of the salt are used to make the lining layer granules into liquid state, so as to adhere to the steel pipe inner wall. Then the filled heat-resistant granules are released. The disadvantage is that the granules will penetrate into the heat-conducting heat-resistant granules when they are heated and melted, so that the salt near the steel pipe inner wall cannot be removed, and the lining layer that penetrates into the heat-resistant granules will be lost, and the smoothness requirement of the pipe inner wall cannot be met.

[0006] At present, there is no ideal treatment method for this problem. Content of the utility model

[0030] Example 1 polyurethane inner lining metal elbow pipe body is lined with forming die

[0031] This embodiment takes the metal (steel) elbow pipe body with polyurethane inner lining as an example to demonstrate the forming die. As a specific case, the metal (steel) elbow pipe body of this embodiment is a 90° arc elbow pipe, i.e. the straight sections at both ends of the elbow pipe body have an included angle of 90°.

[0032] As shown in Figures 1-4 , the embodiment provides a lining forming die for a metal (steel) elbow pipe body with polyurethane inner lining. As shown in Figure 4 , the metal elbow pipe body 13 is composed of a curved section, straight sections at both ends of the elbow pipe body and flanges 14 at both ends of the elbow pipe body, wherein the polyurethane inner lining layer 15 is located on the inner wall of the metal elbow pipe body 13 as an anti-abrasion and anti-corrosion lining layer.

The forming die comprises a bottom die 1, one end of the bottom die 1 is connected with the bottom end of the metal elbow pipe body through a bottom die cover 2, and the other end of the bottom die 1 is provided with a core elbow die 3 matched therewith. In specific application, the core elbow die in the embodiment can also be a hollow die with a certain hardness. In specific application, for elbows with a large caliber (DN200 or more), a hollow core elbow die is used to reduce the cost; for elbows with a small caliber (DN200 or less), a solid core elbow die is used; in addition, the thickness of the core elbow die is generally 6-10 mm in order to make the external flexible foamed polyurethane bend to the required bending radius and connect the bottom die cover and the top die; the core elbow die 3 away from the bottom die 1 is provided with a top die 4 matched therewith, and the outer side of the top die 4 is connected with the top end of the metal elbow pipe body through a top die cover 5; the outer side of the core elbow die 3 is sleeved with a core outer sleeve 6 matched therewith, the outer side of the core outer sleeve 6 is wound with a high-temperature-resistant layer, in specific application, the high-temperature-resistant layer in the embodiment is a high-temperature-resistant thermal insulation coating of RIGID, and the high-temperature-resistant layer can use a pure film iron fluorine dragon adhesive tape resistant to high temperature PTEE adhesive tape, when winding, only the surface of the foamed polyurethane is covered with the adhesive tape, in addition, since the installation of the die is before pouring, and there is a large gap between the die and the elbow pipe, therefore, the situation of extrusion leading to the falling off of the high-temperature-resistant adhesive tape will not occur, and the outer side of the high-temperature-resistant layer is coated with an oily release agent; the bottom die 1, the bottom die cover 2, the core outer sleeve 6 and the top die 4 and the inner wall of the metal elbow pipe body form a pouring gap 7, and the inner wall of the top die cover 5 and the outer wall of the top die 4 form a pouring opening 8 in communication with the pouring gap 7.

In specific applications, since the core elbow mold is relatively thin, it is not convenient to align the threaded interface after being inserted, therefore, the bottom mold 1 and the top mold 4 in the embodiment are provided with matching concave-convex positioning structures with the core elbow mold 3, so as to facilitate threaded connection and fixation.

[0035] In the embodiment, the outer diameter of the bottom mold 1, the outer diameter of the top mold 4 and the outer diameter of the core outer sleeve pipe 6 after installation are the same, and the mold parameters can be flexibly set according to the thickness requirement of the polyurethane inner lining layer 15, so as to ensure the thickness uniformity of the polyurethane inner lining layer 15 and can be flexibly adjusted and customized. In the embodiment, the bending radius of the core elbow mold 3 is the same as the bending radius of the metal elbow pipe body, and the diameter of the core elbow mold 3 is smaller than the bending section of the metal elbow pipe body 13, so as to facilitate the supporting effect of the core elbow mold 3 on the core outer sleeve pipe 6, and facilitate demolding and insertion. In specific applications, when the core elbow mold 3 demolds along the bending radius and just hits the inner wall of the formed elbow, it is the limit position, that is, the maximum diameter of the core elbow mold 3 that can be selected, and the maximum diameter of the core elbow mold 3 can be calculated when confirming the core elbow mold 3, then a slightly smaller elbow pipe that can be purchased can be selected, and steel plates are sealed at both ends of the elbow pipe, threaded holes are opened on the steel plates for convenient positioning and installation, and finally the core elbow mold 3 can be obtained, so as to ensure that the core elbow mold 3 can be smoothly demolded after pouring and forming.

[0037] In the embodiment, the outer diameter of the bottom mold 1, the outer diameter of the top mold 4 and the outer diameter of the core outer sleeve pipe 6 after installation are the same, and the mold parameters can be flexibly set according to the thickness requirement of the polyurethane inner lining layer 15, so as to ensure the thickness uniformity of the polyurethane inner lining layer 15 and can be flexibly adjusted and customized. In the embodiment, the bending radius of the core elbow mold 3 is the same as the bending radius of the metal elbow pipe body, and the diameter of the core elbow mold 3 is smaller than the bending section of the metal elbow pipe body 13, so as to facilitate the supporting effect of the core elbow mold 3 on the core outer sleeve pipe 6, and facilitate demolding and insertion.
