Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of steelmaking quenching technology, specifically relating to a quenching device for steelmaking in a steel plant. Background Technology
[0002] Quenching is a crucial step in steel heat treatment. Its purpose is to rapidly cool and alter the microstructure of the steel, thereby improving its hardness, strength, and other properties. Traditional quenching tanks typically use immersion cooling tanks with water jets to circulate the liquid around the steel parts, cooling the surface of the steel parts through overall immersion. However, when quenching hollow pipes or parts with internal cavities, the flow of quenching fluid within the part's cavity is poor. The liquid flow driven by the water jets installed in the quenching tank is blocked by the side walls of the part, making it difficult to enter the part's cavity. This results in poor cooling of the part's inner side, causing uneven cooling and making the steel parts prone to thermal stress concentration or deformation. Utility Model Content

[0018] Please see Figures 1-4 The present invention provides the following technical solution: a quenching device for steelmaking in a steel plant, comprising a quenching pool body 1, a lateral folding nozzle 11 provided inside the quenching pool body 1, a rigid expansion pipe 2 fixedly connected to one end of the lateral folding nozzle 11, an inner force-bearing baffle 21 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the rigid expansion pipe 2, a connecting pipe 3 fixedly connected to one end of the rigid expansion pipe 2, four water supply pipes 31 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting pipe 3, four limiting connecting bands 4 provided on the outer side of the rigid expansion pipe 2, abutting limiting blocks 41 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the limiting connecting bands 4, and a pulling reset rope 42 fixedly connected to one end of the limiting connecting bands 4.
[0019] In this implementation scheme: Under normal conditions, the lateral folding nozzle 11 is in a retracted state. The pipe joint 33 is connected to the suction pump. The steel part is suspended under the hoisting device and enters the quenching tank body 1 at the position corresponding to the rigid expansion pipe 2. When it is necessary to quench and cool the inside of the steel part, the suction pump draws quenching liquid from the quenching tank body 1 and delivers it to the water inlet pipe 32. It is then quickly delivered into the connecting pipe 3 through multiple water supply pipes 31, and subsequently enters the lateral folding nozzle 11. Since the inner diameter of the inner force-baffle 21 is smaller than the inner diameter of the rigid expansion pipe 2, some of the liquid delivered by the lateral folding nozzle 11 will impact the inner force-baffle 21. When the inner force-baffle 21 is subjected to the liquid, it moves outward, causing the lateral folding nozzle 11 to expand. The rigid expansion pipe 2 extends into the steel part, and the subsequent influx of liquid displaces the previous liquid, realizing the circulation of liquid inside the steel part, accelerating the water circulation inside the steel part, improving the cooling efficiency inside the steel part, and thus... To improve the quenching effect on steel parts, during the expansion of the lateral folding nozzle 11, the rigid expansion tube 2 drives the limiting connecting belt 4 and the abutting limiting block 41 to move. Adjacent abutting limiting blocks 41 abut against each other. With the connection of the limiting connecting belt 4 and multiple abutting limiting blocks 41, the limiting connecting belt 4 and the abutting limiting blocks 41 cannot bend inward. The multiple limiting connecting belts 4 and abutting limiting blocks 41 in the horizontal state respectively limit the rigid expansion tube 2 in multiple directions, so that the rigid expansion tube 2 can move laterally and will not droop downward. When the multiple abutting limiting blocks 41 bend inward, they will abut against each other, but they will not be affected when bending outward. After quenching, the limiting connecting belt 4 is reset under the pulling action of the pull reset rope 42, which drives the lateral folding nozzle 11 to retract, reducing the space occupied, so that the steel parts can move upward. The winding roller 421 is connected to the drive motor, which drives the winding roller 421 to rotate in the forward and reverse directions.
[0020] Four side connecting plates 22 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rigid expansion tube 2. The four side connecting plates 22 are fixedly connected to four limiting connecting strips 4 respectively. By setting the side connecting plates 22, it is easy to connect the rigid expansion tube 2 to the limiting connecting strips 4, so that the rigid expansion tube 2 can drive the limiting connecting strips 4 to move.
[0021] The other end of the four water supply pipes 31 is fixedly connected to the water inlet pipe 32, and one end of the water inlet pipe 32 is fixedly connected to the pipe joint 33. By setting the water inlet pipe 32, it can play a connecting role, so that the position of the pipe joint 33 is far away from the position of the lateral folding nozzle 11, and can draw low temperature liquid far away from the steel part and deliver it to the steel part. The pipe joint 33 can facilitate the connection between the water inlet pipe 32 and the pump body.
[0022] One end of the pull-reset rope 42 is fixedly connected to a take-up roller 421, which is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the quenching pool body 1. By setting the take-up roller 421, the pull-reset rope 42 can be wound up to drive the limit connecting belt 4 to reset. When the lateral folding nozzle 11 needs to be expanded, the take-up roller 421 rotates in the opposite direction to gradually stretch the pull-reset rope 42.
[0023] A limiting guide groove plate 43 is sleeved on one side of the limiting connecting band 4, and the limiting guide groove plate 43 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the quenching pool body 1. By setting the limiting guide groove plate 43, the limiting connecting band 4 and the abutting limiting block 41 can be limited and guided, so that the limiting connecting band 4 and the abutting limiting block 41 can move along the trajectory, and the limiting guide groove plate 43 can support the limiting connecting band 4 and the abutting limiting block 41.
[0024] A lubricating pad 44 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the limiting guide groove plate 43, and the lubricating pad 44 is in contact with the limiting connecting strip 4. By setting the lubricating pad 44, the friction between the limiting connecting strip 4 and the limiting guide groove plate 43 can be reduced, so that the limiting connecting strip 4 and the abutting limiting block 41 can move smoothly.
[0025] The middle part of the limiting guide groove plate 43 is arc-shaped, and the inner wall of the limiting guide groove plate 43 is flat; the arc shape in the middle part of the limiting guide groove plate 43 allows the limiting connecting strip 4 to bend and change direction more smoothly.
[0026] The working principle and usage process of this utility model: A steel component is suspended under a hoisting device and enters the quenching tank body 1 at the position corresponding to the rigid expansion pipe 2. When quenching and cooling of the steel component's interior is required, a suction pump draws quenching liquid from the quenching tank body 1 and delivers it to the inlet pipe 32. This liquid is then rapidly delivered through multiple water supply pipes 31 into the connecting pipe 3, and subsequently into the lateral folding nozzle 11. Because the inner diameter of the inner force-baffle 21 is smaller than the inner diameter of the rigid expansion pipe 2, some of the liquid delivered by the lateral folding nozzle 11 will impact the inner diameter of the rigid expansion pipe 2. When the inner force-baffle 21 is in the middle, the inner force-baffle 21 moves outward under the action of the liquid, which drives the lateral folding nozzle 11 to expand. The rigid expansion tube 2 extends into the steel part, and the subsequent liquid flows in and squeezes out the previous liquid, realizing the circulation of liquid inside the steel part, accelerating the circulation of water inside the steel part, and improving the cooling efficiency of the inside of the steel part. After quenching, the limiting connecting belt 4 is reset under the pulling action of the pulling reset rope 42, which drives the lateral folding nozzle 11 to retract, reducing the space occupied, so that the steel part can move upward.
