Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of high-speed wire rod production technology, and in particular relates to a device for rapid switching between a hot spot and a production line in high-speed wire rod production. Background Technology

[0002] During high-speed wire rod rolling, to improve product surface quality, many production lines typically install thermal inspection devices (referred to as thermal inspection devices) between the heat conduction grooves after the reducing and sizing mills. Their main function is to scan the surface of the rolled piece for defects such as peeling and scabbing using their built-in high-temperature inspection lenses. Through their high-efficiency detection, defects on the rolled piece surface are effectively intercepted and the machine stopped, thus preventing quality accidents.

[0003] In actual production lines, not all wires of all quality specifications require thermal inspection. When producing wires of lower quality specifications, thermal inspection is unnecessary, and the wires with thermal inspection should be removed from the production line. In existing technologies, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the heat exchanger 2 is typically installed on the running trolley 7 and then positioned between the two heat-spreading channels 4. The running trolley 7 is connected to the ground track via wheels. The heat exchanger 2 is installed at one end of the running trolley 7. Due to the large distance between the heat-spreading channels on both sides, an additional heat-spreading channel and its support 8 are installed at the other end to guide the wire. When the heat exchanger 2 is in use, the operator moves the running trolley to align the center of the heat exchanger 2 with the rolling line and then fixes the trolley. When the heat exchanger 2 is not needed, the operator simply moves the running trolley to align the additional heat-spreading channels with the rolling line.

[0004] However, prolonged contact between the trolley wheels and guide rails can lead to irregular wear on their contact surfaces, making it impossible to guarantee the trolley's vertical and horizontal position. This further causes the homogenizing channels on the trolley to misalign with the front and rear homogenizing channels when the hot eye is not in use. Adjusting under these conditions is time-consuming, laborious, and compromises work quality. When rolling mills pass through this area at speeds of nearly 100 meters per second, irregular wear on the homogenizing channels and frequent obstruction and steel accumulation accidents are highly likely. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems in the existing technology, this application provides a device for rapid switching between hot eye and production line in high-speed wire rod production, which enables rapid alignment after the hot eye is put on the line and smooth passage of the wire rod through the heat-conducting groove after the hot eye is taken off the line.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution provided in this application is as follows:

[0007] This application provides a device for rapid switching between a heat exchanger and the production line in high-speed wire rod production. The device is arranged between two adjacent heat exchange channels along the production line and includes a base, a heat exchanger, and a wire rod guide. The heat exchanger is detachably arranged at a designated position on the base. The two ends of the wire rod guide are respectively snapped into the adjacent sides of the two adjacent heat exchange channels, and the inner cavity of the wire rod guide is opposite to the inner cavity of the heat exchange channel.

[0008] Optionally, the base is provided with a positioning groove, and the heating eye is installed in the positioning groove.

[0009] Optionally, the inner diameter of the wire conduit is the same as the inner diameter of the heat-spreading groove.

[0010] Optionally, a conduit mounting seat is provided on one side of the two heat-conducting grooves that are close to each other. The conduit mounting seat includes an upper half ring and a lower half ring connected together, and the upper half ring and the lower half ring form a mounting cavity. The mounting cavity is used to install and position the wire conduit, and the mounting cavity can be opened and closed.

[0011] Optionally, the upper half ring is rotatably connected to the lower half ring via a rotating shaft, and the side of the upper half ring facing away from the rotating shaft is locked to the lower half ring by a locking member.

[0012] Optionally, the wire conduit includes two connecting pipes, and the heat-spreading groove is provided with a slot on the side facing the connecting pipe. The two connecting pipes are respectively inserted into the slots of the two heat-spreading grooves, and the ends of the two connecting pipes away from the heat-spreading grooves are connected by an alignment mechanism.

[0013] Optionally, the centering mechanism includes an openable clamp, the inner diameter of which is equal to the outer diameter of the connecting pipe, and the ends of the two connecting pipes opposite to the heat-conducting groove are both fitted inside the openable clamp.

[0014] Optionally, the openable clamp includes an upper baffle and a lower baffle. The upper baffle is rotatably connected to the lower baffle via a hinge. The upper baffle and the lower baffle are provided with locking holes on the side opposite to the hinge. The locking holes on the upper baffle and the lower baffle are fixed by bolts.

[0015] Optionally, the base is fixed to the ground between the two adjacent heat-conducting grooves.

[0016] Optionally, the base is provided with a detachable telescopic support rod, which is used to support the centering mechanism.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, this application has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0018] This application achieves easy alignment of the heat exchanger by setting a fixed base and installing it in a designated position (such as in a positioning slot) on the base, facilitating quick switching to the heat exchanger. By inserting a wire conduit between the two heat-conducting grooves, the wire can pass smoothly through the two adjacent heat-conducting grooves, avoiding the cumbersome alignment problem of the heat-conducting groove on the upper part of the trolley with the heat-conducting grooves on both sides after the trolley moves. This allows for quick switching between the heat exchanger and the production line.

[0019] The precise connection between the wire conduit and the heat-spreading trough is ensured by setting conduit mounting seats or slots. Openable or closable conduit mounting seats facilitate the installation of the wire conduit. This design enables rapid alignment after the wire is installed (heat-sensor) and smooth passage of the wire between the heat-spreading troughs after it is removed. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit this application or its application or use.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, a rapid switching device between a heat exchanger and the production line in high-speed wire rod production is arranged in two adjacent heat exchange channels 4 along the production line. Figure 2 Between (not shown), there is a base 1, a heat-sensing eye 2 and a wire conduit 3. The heat-sensing eye 2 is detachably arranged at a designated position on the base 1. The two ends of the wire conduit 3 are respectively snapped into the side of two adjacent heat-spreading grooves 4 that are close to each other, and the inner cavity of the wire conduit 3 is opposite to the inner cavity of the heat-spreading groove 4.

[0029] With the base 1 fixed in place, the heat sensor 2 can be automatically aligned when installed in the designated position on the base 1. After removing the heat sensor 2, the cable conduit 3 directly connects the heat-spreading grooves 4 on both sides, providing a smooth passage for the cable to pass through quickly. This enables quick alignment after the heat sensor 2 is installed and allows the cable to pass smoothly between the heat-spreading grooves 4 after the heat sensor 2 is removed, avoiding the tedious alignment adjustment after the heat sensor 2 is installed or removed.

[0030] Example 2

[0031] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that: the base 1 is fixed on the ground between two adjacent heat conduction grooves 4, the base 1 is provided with a positioning groove, the base of the heat eye 2 is exactly opposite to the positioning groove, the heat eye 2 is installed in the positioning groove, and the centering can be easily achieved by installing the heat eye 2 in the positioning groove on the base 1.

[0032] The inner diameter of the wire conduit 3 is the same as the inner diameter of the heat-spreading groove 4, providing a smooth path for the wire to pass through quickly.

[0033] Two heat-conducting grooves 4 are located on adjacent sides with conduit mounting seats. Each mounting seat comprises an upper and lower half-ring connected together, forming a mounting cavity. This cavity is used for mounting and positioning the wire conduit 3 and is openable and closable. The upper half-ring is rotatably connected to the lower half-ring via a rotating shaft. The side of the upper half-ring facing away from the shaft is locked to the lower half-ring by a locking device. This locking device can be a locking bolt or any other means that secures the upper and lower half-rings together. After the heat exchanger 2 is removed from the heat exchanger, the locking device is opened, the upper half-ring is rotated to open the mounting cavity, both ends of the wire conduit 3 are placed into the mounting cavity, and the upper and lower half-rings are then locked again using the locking device.

[0034] Example 3

[0035] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that:

[0036] The wire conduit 3 includes two connecting pipes 31. The heat-spreading groove 4 has a slot on the side facing the connecting pipe 31. The two connecting pipes 31 are respectively inserted into the slots of the two heat-spreading grooves 4. The ends of the two connecting pipes 31 away from the heat-spreading grooves 4 are connected by a centering mechanism 5.

[0037] In this embodiment, the centering mechanism 5 includes an openable and closable clamp, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the inner diameter of the openable clamp is equal to the outer diameter of the connecting pipe 31, and the ends of the two connecting pipes 31 facing away from the heat-conducting groove 4 are both fitted inside the openable clamp. The openable clamp includes an upper baffle 51 and a lower baffle 52. The upper baffle 51 is rotatably connected to the lower baffle 52 by a hinge. The upper baffle 51 and the lower baffle 52 are provided with locking holes 54 on the side facing away from the rotating shaft 53. The locking holes 54 on the upper baffle 51 and the lower baffle 52 are fixed by bolts 55.

[0038] After the heat-conducting eye 2 is removed from the line, the two connecting pipes 31 can be directly inserted into the heat-conducting grooves 4 on both sides, and then the other ends of the two connecting pipes 31 can be clamped in the opening and closing clamp using the opening and closing clamp.

[0039] To improve the support strength of the centering mechanism 5, a detachable telescopic support rod 6 is provided on the base 1. The telescopic support rod 6 can be installed on the base 1 by means of a fixing pin or the like (the specific installation method is not shown in the figure). The top of the telescopic support rod 6 supports the bottom wall of the centering mechanism 5.

[0040] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0041] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this application. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of this application, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this application.
