Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heat treatment, and in particular to a heat treatment device for welded pipe processing. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of welded pipe processing, heat treatment is a key process for improving the mechanical properties of products, eliminating internal stress, and obtaining a stable microstructure. Among these processes, the cooling stage is the core step that determines the final microstructure and properties. However, traditional heat treatment cooling methods have the following drawbacks: The widely used static air cooling method is inefficient, has a long production cycle, and poor cooling uniformity, easily leading to deformation problems such as warping and excessive ovality of welded pipes. While immersion water quenching provides rapid cooling, the intense heat exchange forms a stubborn vapor film on the surface of the welded pipe (Leiden-Frost effect), which hinders cooling and causes a surge in internal stress due to the huge instantaneous temperature difference, even causing the steel pipe to crack. Ordinary air cooling or water mist cooling cannot precisely control the cooling intensity and uniformity, making it difficult to achieve both cooling efficiency and uniformity.

[0003] During the quenching process, a large amount of high-temperature steam is generated and fills the entire workshop, which not only deteriorates the working environment, but also corrodes the overhead cranes and electrical equipment in the workshop, posing a safety hazard. At the same time, traditional open quenching consumes a huge amount of water, and the cooling water is discharged after one use, which wastes water resources and increases the cost of sewage treatment. Traditional spray systems use internal mixing nozzles, which are prone to clogging due to water quality issues, requiring frequent shutdowns for cleaning and maintenance, severely impacting production efficiency and equipment uptime.

The heat treatment equipment for welded pipe processing designed in this paper has a closed double-layer main box that forms a closed cooling chamber, which can effectively prevent the diffusion of water vapor and spray into the workshop environment, greatly improving the working environment.

All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a heat treatment equipment solution for welded pipe processing: it includes a rectangular horizontally arranged base 1, a guide platform 2 fixedly connected to the surface of the base 1, external conveying rollers 3 provided at both ends of the guide platform 2, a main box 4 fixedly arranged in the middle section of the guide platform 2, the main box 4 being located at the top center of the base 1 and surrounding the middle section of the guide platform 2, a water tank 5 and a fan mechanism 6 fixedly connected to the top of the main box 4, and multiple sets of cooling components 7 equidistantly arranged on the middle section surface of the guide platform 2; The cooling assembly 7 includes adjacent cooling rings 8 and guide rollers 11. Both sides of the cooling rings 8 are fixedly connected to a first fixing frame 10, which is also fixedly connected to the surface of the guide platform 2. The top of the cooling rings 8 is also connected to the water tank 5 and the fan mechanism 6. The guide rollers 11 are arranged longitudinally, and one end of them is fixedly connected to a second fixing frame 12, which is also connected to the surface of the base 1. A temperature detection mechanism is also provided on the outside of the second fixing frame 12.

[0023] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the main housing 4 is a closed double-layer housing structure, which is welded from steel plates and filled with ceramic fiber cotton in the interlayer. The inner wall of the steel plate is coated with a high-temperature resistant and anti-corrosion coating. Both ends of the main housing 4 have arc-shaped openings, and the inner surface of the arc-shaped openings is coated with a flexible ceramic fiber sealing layer. Each arc-shaped opening at both ends of the main housing 4 is equipped with a non-contact infrared thermometer to measure the initial temperature of the welded pipe before it enters the cooling section. The guide platform 2 is arranged in a rectangular horizontal direction along the surface of the base 1, with "Z"-shaped protrusions at both ends. The middle section inside the main housing 4 is horizontally recessed for support. The first fixing frame 10 and the second fixing frame 12 are both arranged in a rectangular vertical direction.

[0024] like Figure 3-4As shown, 3-5 sets of cooling rings 8 are arranged along the axial direction of the guide platform 2, and an annular double channel is provided inside. The inner wall is provided with inner and outer ring channels. The surface of the inner ring channel is distributed with atomizing nozzles in an annular shape at equal intervals, and the nozzles are adjustable nozzles. The outer ring channel is arranged in an annular shape around the inner ring channel, and its surface is also provided with annular airflow nozzles at equal intervals. The double channels in the cooling ring 8 are connected to the water tank 5 and the fan mechanism 6 respectively through connecting pipes. The airflow nozzles and water flow nozzles are all external mixing nozzles. The cooling ring 8 and its corresponding airflow nozzles and water flow nozzles are all made of stainless steel. The vortex core inside the water flow nozzle is made of tungsten carbide. The guide rollers 11 are distributed in each set of cooling rings 8. The guide roller 11 is made of heat-resistant stainless steel and its surface is provided with anti-slip stripes. The roller surface height is the same as the inner wall of the cooling ring 8. Its surface is provided with a high-temperature resistant ceramic coating. Multiple sets of suction ports 9 are equidistantly opened along the surface of the guide table 2. At the same time, the cooling rings 8 are distributed at intervals. Their bottom ends are connected to the external negative pressure mechanism through pipes. The external negative pressure mechanism is equipped with a condensation recovery unit, which includes a condenser, a water vapor separator, a demister, and a recovery water pump. In actual use, the extracted steam and water mist condense into water in the condenser. After purification, the water is sent back to the water tank 5 by the recovery water pump for recycling. This can effectively realize the closed-loop utilization of water resources, close to zero emissions, thereby reducing environmental impact and reducing water consumption.

[0025] In this device, the corresponding water and air circuits connecting to the cooling ring 8 are equipped with servo water valves and proportional air valves controlled by electrical signals, and the water and air circuits are all made of 304 stainless steel. At the same time, the whole device is equipped with an industrial PLC and human-machine control system.

[0026] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: the external welded pipe is conveyed from the opening at one end of the main housing 4 through the external conveyor roller 3 into the main housing 4. Then, multiple sets of cooling components 7 are set on the surface of the guide table 2 in sequence. The dual channels set in the cooling ring 8 simultaneously spray high-pressure air and water. The water is atomized into extremely fine droplets and sprayed out, while the high-pressure air is sprayed out from the slit to form an air curtain that wraps the water mist, which is precisely pushed onto the surface of the welded pipe. The high-speed air curtain first destroys the steam insulation film on the surface of the welded pipe. Then, the water mist comes into contact with the high-temperature surface instantly, evaporates violently, and then carries away a large amount of heat, completing the cooling process. When the welded pipe passes through a set of cooling rings 8, the guide rollers 11 set adjacent to it provide phased support and guidance for the welded pipe until the welded pipe is cooled and moved out of the main housing 4. The openings at both ends of the main housing 4 allow the steel pipe to pass through but can effectively prevent the leakage of water mist and steam.

[0027] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model. Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described or explained in this utility model are implemented according to conventional methods in the art, unless otherwise specified or limited.
