Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to bearing induction heat treatment technical field, concretely relates to a kind of cooling protection device of large-scale inductor for bearing induction heating. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the development of wind power industry, large megawatt fan main bearing is quenched without soft belt, and new workpiece rotating induction heating overall quenching equipment needs to be used, the quenching equipment usually simultaneously heats bearing workpiece surface by multiple large-scale inductors, and the total heating of the same workpiece is shortened by more than 70% compared with traditional scanning quenching equipment.

[0003] The large-scale inductor used in workpiece rotating induction heating overall quenching equipment increases more in size compared with the inductor of scanning quenching equipment, and the heating single head of scanning quenching equipment generally has only 2 or 4 copper pipes, while the number of copper pipes of single head of new rotating induction heating overall quenching equipment reaches 10-20, and because bearing workpiece is in high-speed rotating state during heating, high-temperature thermal radiation on the surface of bearing workpiece causes the insulating bakelite board and fixing bolt fixed on the inductor to be scorched and deformed due to high temperature, which requires frequent inspection and maintenance, affecting production efficiency, and if not found in time, it will most likely cause shutdown and bearing workpiece scrap. SUMMARY

[0004] The utility model discloses in order to solve above-mentioned technical problem, provide a kind of cooling protection device of large-scale inductor for bearing induction heating, by the reasonable setting spray liquid circulation system and spray device, when workpiece induction heating, accurate corresponding insulating bakelite board, fixing bolt and other components on large-scale inductor are sprayed cooling protection, avoid fixing bolt loose deformation and bakelite board damage by high-temperature radiation, reduce equipment inspection and maintenance frequency, improve the stability and reliability of bearing induction heating overall quenching equipment operation, improve production efficiency.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a cooling and protection device for a large inductor used in bearing induction heating, including a spray device. The spray device includes a long, hollow water box. Mounting brackets are fixedly installed on the front outer wall of the water box near both ends. The mounting brackets are fixedly installed on the inductor frame on the top of the inductor by bolts. Both ends of the water box are provided with plugs. Several through holes are opened on the bottom plate of the water box. Several spray heads are provided inside the water box. The lower ends of the spray heads are inserted into the through holes of the bottom plate of the water box. The spray nozzles at the bottom of the spray heads correspond to the positions of the fixing bolts and bakelite boards on the inductor. A liquid inlet is provided on the top of the water box near the middle. The liquid inlet is fixedly connected to the spray pipe. The spray pipe is connected to the spray circulation system. Spray liquid is supplied to the water box through the spray circulation system. The spray circulation system includes a liquid supply pump, a filter, and valves. The control signals of the liquid supply pump and valves are connected to the PLC control program of the bearing induction heating equipment. The PLC control program synchronously controls the operation of the spray circulation system.

[0006] The water box has mounting grooves along its length in the middle of the front and rear side walls. A fixing plate is inserted into the mounting groove, and the height of the mounting groove is greater than the thickness of the fixing plate. Several through holes are opened on the fixing plate, and the diameter of the through holes of the fixing plate is adapted to the outer diameter of the upper end of the spray head. The spray head is inserted into the through holes of the fixing plate, and the outer periphery of the upper end face of the spray head is fixedly connected to the fixing plate. The diameter of the through holes on the bottom plate of the water box is adapted to the outer diameter of the lower end of the spray head.

[0007] The number and position of the spray heads correspond to the number and position of the through holes opened on the fixing plate and the bottom plate of the water box, and the spray heads are arranged in a five-point even distribution.

[0008] The spray head is a hollow cylindrical stepped structure. The upper end of the spray head is a circular opening, and the diameter of the opening decreases from top to bottom. The lower end is a slender small-hole spray nozzle.

[0009] The lower end of the spray head has a hole diameter of 0.5-1mm and a height of 5-6mm; the middle part has a hole diameter of 2-5mm and a height of 6-8mm; and the upper end has a hole diameter of 6-8mm and a height of 8-10mm.

[0010] The spray circulation system includes a quenching tank located below the bearing induction heating equipment. The lower part of the quenching tank is connected to a circulating liquid supply main pipe. The circulating liquid supply main pipe is equipped with valves, a liquid supply pump, a pressure stabilizing tank, and a filter in sequence. The rear end of the circulating liquid supply main pipe is connected in parallel to multiple circulating liquid supply branch pipes and valves. The circulating liquid supply branch pipes are respectively connected to the spray pipes of the sensor to supply spray liquid to the water box. After use, the spray liquid naturally falls back and is collected in the quenching tank.

[0011] The mounting bracket is a straight plate bent at 90° to form an L-shaped structure. One side plate of the mounting bracket is fixedly connected to the front outer wall of the water box, and the other side plate has an elongated hole in the waist shape. It is installed on the sensor frame by bolts. There are at least two mounting brackets.

[0012] The water box has a rectangular cross-section and can be made of copper square tubing or stainless steel square tubing.

[0013] The spray pipe is connected to the spray circulation system, which supplies spray liquid to the water box. The spray circulation system includes a supply pump, a filter, and valves. The control signals of the supply pump and valves are connected to the PLC control program of the bearing induction heating equipment, which synchronously controls the operation of the spray circulation system. The purpose of this setup is to use filtered quenching liquid as the spray liquid, making full use of the existing quenching tank and quenching liquid to spray and cool the bakelite boards and fixing bolts of the inductor, which are susceptible to heat radiation. A filter is installed to prevent oxide scale in the quenching liquid from clogging the spray heads and spray nozzles. A supply pump is installed on the circulation system, and the start and stop control of the supply pump is connected to the PLC control program. When the bearing induction heating quenching equipment starts working and heating the workpiece, the PLC control program controls the supply pump to start automatically. The quenching liquid is delivered to the inlet and water chamber of each inductor through the circulating supply main pipe and circulating supply branch pipe. The spray head precisely drips onto the bakelite boards and connecting bolts on the inductor. After heating is completed, the supply pump is turned off after a delay, stopping the operation of the spray liquid circulation system.

[0014] The water tank has a liquid inlet located near the center of its top. The spray heads are hollow, cylindrical, stepped structures with a circular opening at the top, decreasing in diameter from top to bottom, and a narrow, elongated spray nozzle at the bottom. This design aims to: place the liquid inlet at the top of the water tank, creating a water chamber at the top to buffer water pressure; ensure even liquid supply to all spray heads; and maintain consistent water output from each dripper. The narrow, elongated nozzle ensures a fine stream or dripping water flow, guaranteeing precise application to the bakelite board or connecting bolts without leakage or impact, and preventing excessive water from falling onto the sensor and workpiece. The liquid supply pressure of the circulation system is adjusted via a buffer tank and valves to regulate the water output of the spray heads, allowing for cooling of the sensor's connecting bolts and bakelite board at a relatively low pressure, ensuring an appropriate cooling rate.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The inductor cooling and protection device has a compact and reasonable structure and is easy to operate. By reasonably setting up the spray liquid circulation system and spray device, the physical cooling method effectively prevents the fixing bolts of the inductor from loosening and deforming due to the high temperature radiation during the induction heating of the bearing workpiece, and prevents the bakelite board from being scorched, deformed, or cracked due to high temperature. This reduces the frequency of inspection and maintenance, reduces potential equipment failures and workpiece scrapping risks, and improves the reliability, stability and production efficiency of the induction heating equipment.
