[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of forging auxiliary equipment systems, specifically to a water-cooling device for titanium alloy forging. Background Technology

[0002] Water cooling after forging of titanium alloys has always held an important position as a post-forging cooling method. With the increasing demands for product quality stability, process engineers have also raised corresponding requirements for related water cooling equipment. Currently, in actual production processes, water-cooled materials are directly placed into a water tank after forging for cooling. This cooling method is relatively primitive and has the following problems:

[0003] 1. The cooling water tank has a limited capacity, the cooling rate cannot be guaranteed, and the efficiency is low;

[0004] 2. Titanium alloy materials require rapid water cooling to refine the grain structure and ensure stable material properties;

[0005] 3. Some titanium alloys are prone to precipitating harmful phases at low temperatures, so rapid cooling is required to avoid dangerous temperature ranges and achieve purification.

[0006] In conclusion, the controllability of quenching water temperature is closely related to product quality, and the aforementioned problems with current cooling water tanks need to be addressed. Utility Model Content

[0007] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a water-cooling device for titanium alloy forging. The cooling water tank and the storage tank are connected through the inlet pipe and the outlet pipe. When the water temperature in the cooling water tank reaches the set value, the control system controls the outlet pump group and the inlet pump group to operate and maintain the water temperature in the cooling water tank within a suitable range.

[0008] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides a water-cooling device for titanium alloy forging, comprising a cooling water tank, a storage tank, and a control system. An inlet pipe and a drain pipe connect the cooling water tank and the storage tank. An inlet pump assembly is installed on the inlet pipe, and a drain pump assembly is installed on the drain pipe. The inlet pump assembly pumps water from the storage tank into the cooling water tank, and the drain pump assembly pumps water from the cooling water tank into the storage tank. Multiple sets of support grilles are spaced at intervals along the length of the cooling water tank at the bottom of its inner cavity. A temperature sensor is installed inside the cooling water tank, and the control system controls the start and stop of the inlet and drain pump assemblies based on signals from the temperature sensor.

[0009] Furthermore, a spray system is provided at the upper end of the water storage tank, and the outlet end of the drainage pipe is connected to the spray system.

[0010] Furthermore, the spraying system includes multiple spray pipes arranged at intervals along the length of the water storage tank, and connecting pipes connecting each spray pipe, with spray nozzles provided at the lower end of each spray pipe.

[0011] Furthermore, a control valve is installed on the water inlet pipe.

[0012] Furthermore, the highest point of the water inlet pipe is higher than the water level of the cooling water tank and the water storage tank, and the control valve is an air inlet and air outlet valve located at the highest point of the water inlet pipe.

[0013] Furthermore, the inlet and outlet ends of the water inlet pipe are respectively located at the lower part of the water storage tank and the cooling water tank.

[0014] Furthermore, both the cooling water tank and the water storage tank are provided with an overflow port at the top and a drain port at the bottom. An overflow pipe is installed at the overflow port and a drain pipe is installed at the drain port.

[0015] Furthermore, the inner wall of the cooling water tank is provided with reinforcing ribs.

[0016] Furthermore, both the cooling water tank and the water storage tank are equipped with liquid level sensors.

[0017] Furthermore, two cooling water tanks are provided at intervals.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0019] (1) The cooling water tank and the water storage tank are connected by the water inlet pipe and the water outlet pipe to form a circulation pipeline. The parameters of the temperature sensor are set according to the process temperature requirements. When the water temperature in the cooling water tank reaches the set value, the temperature sensor transmits the signal to the control system to control the operation of the drain pump group and the water inlet pump group to achieve heat exchange and keep the water temperature in the cooling water tank within a suitable range, so as to achieve controllable quenching water temperature.

[0020] By overcoming the limitations of existing water tank capacity and increasing the cooling rate, the titanium alloy material can be cooled rapidly, ensuring stable material performance. Rapid cooling avoids the temperature range where harmful phases precipitate, achieving pure essence and guaranteeing product quality.

[0021] A support grid is installed at the bottom of the cooling water tank to facilitate the placement of titanium alloy materials, ensuring full contact between the water and the materials. At the same time, when the cold water is heated by the materials, it will move from the bottom to the top. Due to the presence of the support grid, the cooling water will continuously agitate itself, ensuring uniform cooling and a better cooling rate. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings: Specific Implementation Example 1:

[0031] refer to Figures 1 to 6 This utility model discloses a water-cooling device for titanium alloy forging (hereinafter referred to as the water-cooling device), which includes a cooling water tank 1, a water storage tank 2, and a control system. The cooling water tank 1 and the water storage tank 2 are connected by an inlet pipe 4 and a drain pipe 5. An inlet pump group 6 is installed on the inlet pipe 4, and a drain pump group 7 is installed on the drain pipe 5. The inlet pump group 6 is used to inject water from the water storage tank 2 into the cooling water tank 1, and the drain pump group 7 is used to inject water from the cooling water tank 1 into the water storage tank 2. Multiple sets of support grilles 101 are spaced apart along the length of the cooling water tank 1 at the bottom of the inner cavity of the cooling water tank 1. A temperature sensor 13 is also integrated inside the cooling water tank 1. The control system controls the start and stop of the inlet pump group 6 and the drain pump group 7 through the signal from the temperature sensor 13.

[0032] With this setup, cooling water tank 1 and water storage tank 2 are connected by inlet pipe 4 and drain pipe 5 to form a circulation pipeline. The parameters of temperature sensor 13 are set according to the process temperature requirements. When the water temperature in cooling water tank 1 reaches the set value, temperature sensor 13 transmits a signal to the control system, which controls the drain pump group 7 and inlet pump group 6 to operate. The cold water in water storage tank 2 is injected into cooling water tank 1, and the hot water in cooling water tank 1 is injected into water storage tank 2 for further cooling. This process of heat exchange keeps the water temperature in cooling water tank 1 within a suitable range below the process requirements, thus achieving controllable quenching water temperature.

[0033] Meanwhile, by adding an external water tank 2, the existing water tank capacity limitation is overcome, the cooling rate is improved, and the titanium alloy material can be cooled quickly to ensure stable material performance. Rapid cooling can avoid the temperature range where harmful phases precipitate, achieving pure essence and ensuring product quality.

[0034] A support grid 101 is installed at the bottom of the cooling water tank 1 to facilitate the placement of titanium alloy materials, ensuring full contact between water and materials. Simultaneously, when the cold water is heated by the materials, it moves upwards from the bottom. Due to the presence of the support grid 101, the cooling water continuously self-stirs, rapidly squeezing out air bubbles formed after the forgings are immersed in the water, quickly carrying away heat. This ensures uniform cooling while achieving a better cooling rate.

[0035] In this embodiment, a reinforcing rib plate 102 is also provided on the inner wall of the cooling water tank 1. The reinforcing rib plate 102 includes vertical reinforcing rib plates 102 fixed at intervals to the inner wall of the cooling water tank 1, and annular reinforcing rib plates 102 connecting the vertical reinforcing rib plates 102. The annular reinforcing rib plates 102 are arranged at the upper part of the cooling water tank 1 and are arranged in two sets at intervals along the vertical direction. This ensures the structural strength, stability and safety of the cooling water tank 1.

[0036] Preferably, in this embodiment, the upper end of the water storage tank 2 is open, and a spray system 8 is provided at the upper end of the water storage tank 2. The outlet end of the drainage pipe 5 is connected to the spray system 8.

[0037] Specifically, in this embodiment, a support frame 21 is provided inside the water storage tank 2, and the spray system 8 is fixed on the support frame 21.

[0038] The sprinkler system 8 includes multiple sprinkler pipes 81 spaced apart along the length of the water storage tank 2, and connecting pipes 82 connecting each sprinkler pipe 81. Multiple spray nozzles are spaced apart at the lower end of each sprinkler pipe 81 along its length. The length of each sprinkler pipe 81 extends along the width of the water storage tank 2, and the length of the sprinkler pipe 81 is adapted to the width of the water storage tank 2. The length of each connecting pipe 82 extends along the length of the water storage tank 2, and the length of each connecting pipe 82 is adapted to the length of the water storage tank 2. One end of the connecting pipe 82 facing the drain pipe 5 is connected to the drain pipe 5, while the other end is sealed.

[0039] Specifically, in this embodiment, the support frame 21 includes a bottom support, on which multiple support beams are spaced apart along the length of the water storage tank 2, and the length of the support beams extends along the width of the water storage tank 2. A connecting pipe 82 is fixedly mounted on the multiple support beams, and a connecting rod extending along the length of the water storage tank 2 is fixedly mounted at the upper end of each support beam. The connecting rods and the connecting pipe 82 are spaced apart along the width of the water storage tank 2. A spray pipe 81 is fixedly mounted on the connecting rod.

[0040] The drainage pump set 7 pumps the higher-temperature water in the cooling water tank 1 into the connecting pipe 82 through the drainage pipe 5. The connecting pipe 82 then pumps the water into each spray pipe 81, and the spray pipe 81 sprays the water out from the spray nozzles. In this process, the contact area between the hot water and the air is increased, resulting in air cooling and accelerating the heat dissipation of the water. This allows the hot water to cool down quickly and then flow back to the water storage tank 2, which facilitates the provision of low-temperature cooling water for the next cooling cycle during the circulating cooling process, ensuring that the water temperature in the cooling water tank 1 is always within a suitable range.

[0041] By using multiple spray pipes 81 with multiple spray nozzles, the heat dissipation effect can be further improved. At the same time, the hot water sprayed out can be evenly sprayed into the water storage tank 2, ensuring that the water temperature in all parts of the water storage tank 2 remains consistent and uniform.

[0042] In other embodiments, the connecting pipe 82 may be located near the middle of the water storage tank 2 in the width direction. In this case, multiple spray pipes 81 are respectively arranged on both radial sides of the connecting pipe 82, and the hot water in the connecting pipe 82 is sprayed out from the spray pipes 81 on both sides.

[0043] Preferably, in this embodiment, the inlet and outlet ends of the water inlet pipe 4 are respectively located at the lower parts of the water storage tank 2 and the cooling water tank 1. The inlet end of the water inlet pipe 4 is located at the lower part of the water storage tank 2, allowing the uniformly cooled water to be injected into the cooling water tank 1. The outlet end of the water inlet pipe 4 is located at the lower part of the cooling water tank 1, allowing the cooling water to contact the material more quickly.

[0044] The outlet of the drain pipe 5 is located at the lower part of the cooling water tank 1. Furthermore, the outlet of the drain pipe 5 and the inlet of the inlet pipe 4 are respectively located close to both sides of the cooling water tank 1 along its length, and are separated from each other. This allows the hot water in the cooling water tank 1 to be extracted in a timely manner, thereby improving the water cooling effect.

[0045] Preferably, in this embodiment, the water-cooling device uses temperature sensor 13 to automatically detect water temperature, and the control system automatically controls the water inlet pump group 6 and the water outlet pump group 7 to start circulation. A control valve 11 is also provided on the water inlet pipe 4. When the water cooling circulation stops, the control valve 11 disconnects the cooling water tank 1 and the water storage tank 2 to ensure that there is no frequent start-up or overflow due to the principle of communicating vessels.

[0046] Specifically, in this embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the highest point of the water inlet pipe 4 is higher than the water levels of the cooling water tank 1 and the water storage tank 2. The control valve 11 is an air inlet and outlet valve located at the highest point of the water inlet pipe 4. Of course, in other embodiments, the control valve 11 can also be described as a solenoid valve.

[0047] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , 2 As shown, preferably, two cooling water tanks 1 are arranged at intervals along their width direction, and two sets of the same inlet pipe 4, drain pipe 5, inlet pump group 6 and drain pump group 7 are arranged, corresponding to the water storage tank 2 and the two sets of cooling water tanks 1 respectively.

[0048] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, two sets of spray systems 8 are also provided, with the outlet of each drainage pipe 5 connected to one set of spray systems 8. Specifically, the two sets of spray systems 8 are arranged opposite each other in the width direction of the water storage tank 2, and the spray pipes 81 of the two sets of spray systems 8 are arranged alternately. Providing two cooling water tanks 1 can improve production efficiency, allow for alternating use, and enable the division of labor for different cooling stages, thereby optimizing the cooling process and improving product quality.

[0049] In this embodiment, valves 12 for controlling the on / off state are also provided near the water inlet pipe 4 and the water outlet pipe 5, respectively, close to the water inlet pump group 6 and the water outlet pump group 7. In this embodiment, valve 12 is a manual valve. In other embodiments, valve 12 may also be a solenoid valve.

[0050] In this embodiment, both the cooling water tank 1 and the water storage tank 2 are provided with overflow ports at the top and drain ports at the bottom. An overflow pipe 9 is installed at the overflow port, and a drain pipe 10 is installed at the drain port. Specifically, as shown... Figure 5 As shown, the overflow outlet and the drain outlet are arranged vertically at intervals. The overflow pipe 9 is an inverted L-shaped pipe. The outlet of the drain pipe 10 is connected to the vertical section of the overflow pipe 9 to form a T-junction. A valve 12 is installed on the drain pipe 10 to control the on / off state.

[0051] In this embodiment, level sensors are installed inside both the cooling water tank 1 and the water storage tank 2. A water inlet is also provided on the water storage tank 2. The level sensors provide low and high level alarms to prevent excessively high levels from causing overflow and environmental impact. Conversely, low levels prevent the material from being fully submerged in the cooling water tank 1, posing a significant risk to product quality, or insufficient cooling water circulation in the water storage tank 2. The water inlet facilitates timely replenishment of water to the water storage tank 2.

[0052] In this embodiment, the water-cooling device also includes a control cabinet 3, and the control system is integrated into the control cabinet 3.

[0053] In this embodiment, a dedicated water-cooling device is designed, with a water storage tank 2 measuring 3 meters * 10 meters * 1.8 meters and a cooling water tank 1 measuring 4.3 meters * 5.4 meters * 1.8 meters. Its working process is as follows: Figure 6 As shown, the entire system is automatically controlled without human intervention, resulting in high efficiency.

[0054] The construction process of this application:

[0055] (1) According to the process technology route requirements, two cooling water tanks 1 are designed to meet the requirements of water cooling materials in one cooling cycle. According to the lifting clamps used to pick up materials on site, a support grid 101 is set at the bottom of the cooling water tank 1, and a reinforcing rib plate 102 is set to optimize the water tank structure, so as to minimize the amount of steel used while ensuring the structural strength of the water tank.

[0056] (2) Calculate the required heat exchange water volume and the optimal cooling method for the outdoor water tank based on the process requirements of the materials requiring water cooling. Calculate and select the appropriate inlet pump group 6, outlet pump group 7, and circulation pipeline flow rate based on relevant data.

[0057] (3) Based on the on-site operation method, design an automated temperature control program. The entire operation uses a host computer human-machine interface, and the temperature and other related parameters can be changed at any time according to different material requirements.

[0058] In summary, the water-cooling device of this utility model features a specially designed grid at the bottom of the cooling water tank 1. This design ensures structural strength while allowing the cooling water to self-stir upon entry, resulting in uniform cooling of the materials. After modification, the cooling water tank 1 can automatically adjust the inlet and outlet water volumes according to the set temperature, significantly ensuring the cooling rate and meeting product quality requirements. Furthermore, it provides valuable experience for optimizing subsequent related equipment. On one hand, temperature-controlled water cooling is feasible and operates stably; on the other hand, the modified equipment achieves uniform material cooling and controllable cooling rate and temperature, effectively saving manpower and material resources and improving equipment production efficiency.

[0059] Example 2: This example provides a different water storage tank. Unlike Example 1, in this example, the upper end of the water storage tank may not be equipped with a spray system. In this case, the outlet of the drain pipe 5 is located at the upper end of the water storage tank, and the hot water in the cooling water tank is directly injected into the water storage tank for cooling.

[0060] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
