Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of industrial heat treatment equipment, and relates to an atmosphere control device and a muffle bright heat treatment furnace having the atmosphere control device, especially an atmosphere control device based on multi-stage pressure reduction and dynamic humidity adjustment and a muffle bright heat treatment furnace having the atmosphere control device. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of steel pipe heat treatment, muffle furnaces have become the mainstream equipment for bright annealing processes due to their rapid atmosphere replacement capability, flexible temperature control characteristics, and simplified structure. Bright annealing is an important and crucial step in the production of seamless steel pipes. With the increasing market demands for products in recent years, steel pipe heat treatment has gradually shifted from conventional black annealing to bright annealing. Bright annealing primarily involves removing oxide scale from the steel pipe surface and relieving stress at high temperatures using a strongly reducing protective gas to achieve a bright finish. Compared to black annealing, it allows for direct finishing of the finished product, eliminating the intermediate pickling step and significantly improving environmental protection and energy efficiency. However, for different steel grades requiring different heat treatments, atmosphere control during bright annealing is particularly important. Different steel grades necessitate careful control of the atmosphere during the bright annealing process to achieve the desired process results. However, current muffle furnaces have significant technical defects: 1. Crude gas pressure control: When in use, muffle furnaces are usually directly connected to a high-pressure hydrogen pipeline of 1.0-1.5MPa to form a hydrogen atmosphere inside the furnace. CN 109539772 A discloses an explosion-proof device for a muffle furnace. The muffle furnace in this application has a hydrogen inlet pipe at one end and a hydrogen outlet pipe at the other end. The hydrogen inlet pipe in this application is directly connected to the high-pressure hydrogen pipeline without pressure reduction treatment. Excessive gas pressure can easily lead to fluctuations in gas flow rate, which can easily cause laminar flow turbulence; 2. Inaccurate atmosphere and humidity regulation: The lack of precise atmosphere and humidity control modules results in large dew point temperature deviations, causing phenomena such as steel sticking, scratches, and furnace jamming to occur during the heat treatment of different steel grades; 3. High surface defect rate: Due to the uncontrolled gas dynamic parameters, the incidence of steel sticking and scratch defects is high, requiring subsequent polishing of the product surface, increasing production costs.
[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an atmosphere control device that can precisely regulate the atmosphere and humidity, avoid steel sticking and scratching, and reduce product production costs. Summary of the Invention

[0049] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the atmosphere control device of this utility model is disposed between the muffle furnace 1 and the main hydrogen inlet pipeline 2, and includes:
[0050] A humidifying storage tank 3, which internally defines a humidifying chamber and contains humidifying liquid, has an air inlet 31, a liquid replenishment port 32, and a liquid drain port 33 at its bottom, all communicating with the humidifying chamber. Its top has a vent port 34 and an air outlet 35, with the air outlet 35 connected to the circulating air duct 11 of the muffle furnace 1 via an air outlet pipe 36.
[0051] The multi-stage pressure reduction and control bypass 4 is connected between the main hydrogen inlet pipeline 2 and the inlet 31 of the humidification storage tank 3. It includes a pressure reducing pipe 41 and multiple pressure reducing valves connected in series on the pressure reducing pipe 41, and is used to reduce the pressure of the gas transported by the main hydrogen inlet pipeline 2 to the working pressure in multiple stages.
[0052] like Figure 1 As shown, the multi-stage pressure reduction and control bypass 4 adopts a two-stage pressure reduction architecture. One end of the pressure reduction pipe 41 is connected to the main hydrogen inlet pipe 2, and the other end is connected to the inlet 31 of the humidification storage tank 3. The pressure reduction pipe 41 is equipped with a first-stage pressure reducing valve 42 and a second-stage pressure reducing valve 43 along the gas flow direction, which are used to adjust the gas transported by the main hydrogen inlet pipe 2 to the working pressure in two stages.
[0053] like Figure 1 As shown, a flow meter 44, an adjustable pointer valve 45, and a first solenoid valve 46 are also provided on the pressure reducing pipe 41 downstream of the pressure reducing valve.
[0054] In some embodiments of this application, the input gas pressure of the main hydrogen inlet pipeline 2 is 1.0-1.5 MPa, and the working pressure after pressure reduction by the multi-stage pressure reduction and control bypass 4 is 100 mbar-400 mbar.
[0055] like Figure 3 As shown, the atmosphere control device also includes a PLC control system, which is electrically connected to the first-stage pressure reducing valve 42, the second-stage pressure reducing valve 43, the flow meter 44, the first solenoid valve 46, and the second solenoid valve 37 via a DP bus to form a master-slave industrial control network, used to dynamically adjust the gas atmosphere and humidity inside the muffle furnace 1.
[0056] The PLC control system serves as the DP master station, while the first-stage pressure reducing valve 42, the second-stage pressure reducing valve 43, the flow meter 44, the first solenoid valve 46, and the second solenoid valve 37 serve as DP slave stations.
[0057] The PLC control system is configured as follows:
[0058] Real-time acquisition of operating status data from each DP slave station;
[0059] Based on preset process parameters, the opening degree of the first-stage pressure reducing valve 42 and the second-stage pressure reducing valve 43, as well as the on / off state of the first solenoid valve 46 and the second solenoid valve 37 are dynamically adjusted through periodic data exchange.
[0060] The gas atmosphere concentration and humidity parameters inside the muffle furnace 1 are controlled in a closed loop based on the flow signals fed back by the flow meter 44, humidity sensor, and dew point sensor.
[0061] like Figure 2 As shown, this application also provides a muffle-type bright heat treatment furnace, including a muffle furnace 1, a hydrogen main inlet pipeline 2, and the atmosphere control device.
[0062] In some embodiments of this application, the humidification tank 3 is equipped with a liquid level detector, which is electrically connected to the PLC control system and is used to monitor the liquid level of the humidification liquid in the humidification chamber in real time.
[0063] like Figure 2 As shown, the gas outlet 35 is connected to the gas inlet of the muffle furnace 1 through the gas outlet pipe 36. The gas outlet pipe 36 is equipped with a second solenoid valve 37 that is electrically connected to the PLC control system, which is used to control the gas flow rate delivered by the humidification tank 3.
[0064] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the humidification tank 3 has a transparent observation window 38 embedded in its side wall for observing the liquid level of the humidification liquid in the humidification chamber.
[0065] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the atmosphere control device also includes a dew point sensor connected to the PLC control system for detecting the gas dew point temperature.
[0066] In some embodiments of this application, the atmosphere control device further includes an automatic liquid replenishment device. The outlet of the automatic liquid replenishment device is connected to the liquid replenishment port 32 of the humidification storage tank 3. The control terminal of the automatic liquid replenishment device is electrically connected to the PLC control system and is used to replenish liquid into the humidification storage tank 3.
[0067] In some embodiments of this application, the automatic liquid replenishment device includes a liquid replenishment pump, which is connected to the liquid replenishment port of the humidification storage tank via a liquid replenishment pipe. A control valve is mounted on the liquid replenishment pipe and connected to the PLC controller. The humidification liquid is deionized water.
[0068] In some embodiments of this application, a humidity sensor is provided between the humidification storage tank 3 and the gas outlet pipe of the muffle furnace 1 to detect the humidity of the gas in the circulating air duct of the muffle furnace.
[0069] In actual production, when heat-treating duplex steel and super duplex steel series products, phenomena such as steel sticking, scratches, and furnace jamming are prone to occur. This application introduces gas into a humidification tank to regulate gas humidity and also introduces a dew point sensor to measure the dew point. By interlocking the atmosphere control with the real-time feedback value of the dew point, the gas atmosphere parameters and humidity in the muffle furnace are controlled, ensuring that the steel pipes radially heat-treated in the muffle furnace do not stick and that the atmosphere in the muffle furnace is not too humid, thus avoiding the phenomenon of dull steel pipes exiting the furnace for annealed steel grades. Specifically, a dew point sensor is added to the hot zone for real-time monitoring, and the real-time dew point value is fed back to the PLC controller. The PLC controller adjusts the solenoid valve to regulate the flow rate. The flow meter can then feed back the real-time flow rate to the PLC controller. The PLC controller adjusts the opening of the pressure reducing valve and / or solenoid valve according to the detection signal of the flow meter 44 to control the gas flow rate and flow into the humidification tank 3, forming a closed-loop control, thereby achieving precise control of the gas atmosphere.
[0070] Taking a 32750, φ25mm steel pipe as an example, the heat treatment temperature is 1160℃ and the hydrogen flow rate is 100Nm. 3 / h, oxygen content in the furnace <100PPM, such as Figure 4 The diagram shows the dynamic response curve of gas humidification. The horizontal axis represents the real-time dew point value in °C, and the vertical axis represents the volume of water added to the muffle furnace by the automatic replenishment device per hour in mL. When the dew point is -25°C, the atmosphere inside the furnace is prone to change during continuous heat treatment. When the dew point is <-30°C, the steel pipes are very prone to adhesion; and when the dew point temperature is >-15°C, the surface of the steel pipes turns grayish-green. Heat treatment is unqualified in both cases. Therefore, precise control is required at key points to achieve qualified results.

Furthermore, various modifications listed herein, as well as variations in the methods and compositions of the invention, will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention. Although the invention has been specifically described in conjunction with various specific preferred embodiments, it should be understood that the invention should not be limited to these specific embodiments. In fact, various modifications as described above that are obvious to those skilled in the art to obtain the invention should be included within the scope of this invention.
