Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cooling water nozzle technology, and in particular to a laminar flow cooling water spray structure with adjustable spray height. Background Technology
[0002] After hot-rolled strip is formed, it needs to undergo a cooling process. Generally, cooling is achieved by uniformly spraying water into the hot-rolled strip. Controlling the distribution of water flow at the outlet of the laminar flow cooling manifold in the cooling process will directly affect the cooling effect of the hot-rolled strip, and will affect the overall quality and performance parameters.
[0003] Currently, the commonly used laminar flow cooling manifolds on the market have simple structures, basically based on orifice plates (such as...). Figure 1 ) and equalizing orifice plates (such as Figure 2 The two structures are designed to regulate the water flow distribution at the outlet of the laminar flow cooling manifold. While these two structures have lower manufacturing costs, they also have significant drawbacks. First, they are not conducive to later maintenance; once clogged, they are difficult to clean online, affecting production efficiency. Second, they cannot adapt to the cooling process requirements by adjusting the water jet height of each nozzle to be consistent. Generally, due to the long manifold length and the varying water output of the spaced nozzles, the water jet height varies. Consequently, it is difficult to achieve balanced cooling during the cooling process of hot-rolled strip, resulting in inconsistencies in quality and performance parameters. Utility Model Content

[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0031] See Figures 2-6 As shown in the embodiments of this utility model, an adjustable water spray height laminar flow cooling water spray structure is proposed. When applied, it is integrated into the cooling process of the hot-rolled strip forming production line. By splitting the high-pressure water flow and achieving water column spraying at the same height, it maintains uniform cooling of the hot-rolled strip and facilitates maintenance and handling efficiency in case of water spray blockage.
[0032] Specifically, the laminar flow cooling spray structure includes a main water pipe 1 and several outlets 2 evenly distributed along the length of the main water pipe 1. The main water pipe 1 also has an inlet 3, which connects to the production line to introduce high-pressure water. The high-pressure water flows outward after being split through the outlets 2. Each outlet 2 is equipped with a nozzle assembly 4, which is used to achieve a higher spray height and increase the spray distance. However, because the pressure of the water flowing through the main water pipe 1 varies when it reaches each nozzle assembly 4, the actual height and distance of the sprayed water column differ, making it difficult to ensure that the cooling water sprayed from each nozzle assembly 4 acts simultaneously on the hot-rolled strip, thus affecting the uniformity of cooling. To solve this problem, the nozzle assembly 4 includes a nozzle seat 41 sealed to the outlet 2 and a nozzle body 42 threaded to the nozzle seat 41. The nozzle body 42 has a first inlet hole 43 communicating with the nozzle seat 41 at its end. A spray hole 44 is provided inside the nozzle body 42, communicating with the first inlet hole 43. A locking ring 45 is provided on the nozzle body 42, limiting the rotation of the nozzle body 42 relative to the nozzle seat 41. Simultaneously, when the nozzle body 42 rotates relative to the nozzle seat 41, it adjusts the relationship between the nozzle body 42 and the spray hole 44. The size of the flow gap 48 between the nozzle seats 41; the locking ring 45 locks the nozzle body 42 relative to the nozzle seat 41 in an adjustable state. By adjusting the size of the flow gap 48, the flow rate can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the water flow rate entering the nozzle body 42. The cooling water enters the first water inlet 43 after passing through the nozzle seat 41 and the flow gap 48, and is finally sprayed out through the spray hole 44. Thus, by adjusting the size of the flow gap 48, the spray water pressure can be adjusted, that is, the height of the spray water column can be adjusted. By adjusting each nozzle assembly 4, the height of the spray water column of the entire water spray structure can be kept consistent.
[0033] If a blockage occurs during use, the corresponding nozzle assembly 4 can be disassembled and replaced directly to restore the normal cooling water spray process in a short time, thus improving maintenance efficiency.
[0034] To facilitate the adjustment of the flow gap 48, a conical structure 46 extending towards the nozzle seat 41 is provided at the end of the nozzle body 42. The end of the conical structure 46 is provided with the first water inlet hole 43. A conical hole 47 that mates with the conical structure 46 is provided in the nozzle seat 41. The gap between the conical structure 46 and the conical hole 47 is the flow gap 48. That is, when the nozzle body 42 is rotated relative to the nozzle seat 41, the gap between the inner wall of the conical structure 46 and the conical hole 47 is actually adjusted. The minimum gap can be 0, and at this time, water only enters through the first water inlet hole 43, and the water flow is small. After the gap is increased, the water flow increases and can enter the nozzle body 42 from above the conical structure 46. Specifically, multiple second water inlets 49 are provided on the nozzle body 42 above the conical structure 46. After the gap is increased, the water flows into the nozzle body 42 from both the first water inlet hole 43 and the second water inlet hole 49, thereby increasing the height of the water jet. There are four second water inlet holes 49.
[0035] Meanwhile, in order to improve the uniformity of the water column sprayed from the water jet hole 44, a rectifier core 410 is provided in front of the water jet hole 44. The rectifier core 410 is mainly used to ensure that the cross-sectional area of the water jet remains consistent, and a mature structure can be adopted.
[0036] To facilitate the adjustment of the uniformity of the water jet height, the diameter of the first water inlet 43 is set to 6mm~8mm, the diameter of the second water inlet 49 is set to 4mm, and the equivalent diameter of the water jet 44 is set to 15mm.
[0037] At the same time, ensure that the water flow from the main water pipe 1 is sufficient, so that the orifice diameter of the nozzle seat 41 is 11mm~13mm.
[0038] By adjusting the movement of the nozzle body 42 relative to the nozzle seat 41, the size of the flow gap 48 can be adjusted, and the actual adjustable flow area range is 50mm. 2 ~132mm 2 Corresponding to the above-mentioned flow area range, the flow rate range distributed through the spray hole 44 of the nozzle body 42 is 60L / min to 160L / min.
[0039] like Figure 7 As shown, the height of the water jet from the spray hole 44 can be adjusted by adjusting the specific flow rate. Specifically, when the flow rate of the nozzle body 42 is 60L / min, the height of the water jet from the spray hole 44 is 300mm, and when the flow rate of the nozzle body 42 is 160L / min, the height of the water jet from the spray hole 44 is 600mm.
[0040] Therefore, by adjusting the rotation angle of each nozzle body 42 relative to the nozzle seat 41, the water jet height of each nozzle assembly 4 is consistent, thereby ensuring the consistency of the water jet height of the entire water spray structure.
[0041] To facilitate quick assembly and disassembly of the nozzle seat 41 and meet sealing requirements, the outlet 2 is provided with an internal thread, and the nozzle seat 41 is provided with a threaded portion 412 that mates with the internal thread. The nozzle seat 41 is provided with a sealing groove 411 located at the threaded portion 412, and a sealing ring is provided in the sealing groove 411. After the nozzle seat 41 is fastened to the internal thread through the threaded portion 412, the sealing ring is pressed to achieve a seal at the connection. Furthermore, the use of threaded engagement facilitates quick assembly and disassembly of the entire nozzle assembly 4.
