Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of auxiliary measuring equipment for steel pipe production, specifically relating to a device for measuring the local curvature of steel pipes based on a vertical pendulum. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, during the continuous hot rolling or water quenching and tempering process, steel pipes are inevitably subject to bending along their longitudinal length due to the combined effects of their own weight, rolling stress, and uneven cooling intensity. This is especially true for steel pipes with high Cr and Mo content, where the bending is relatively greater, necessitating a certain degree of straightening. For steel pipes with relatively large bends, if an excessive reduction is applied at once during straightening, the stressed parts of the pipe are easily flattened and develop ellipticity. In view of this, some steel pipe manufacturers cut excessively bent pipes into shorter sections for downgrading, while others have invented pre-straightening devices. These devices effectively avoid applying excessive reduction at once, controlling the bend within the allowable range through multiple step-by-step straightening processes. The function of a local bending measurement device is to accurately measure the local bending degree of the steel pipe and mark the corresponding bending position to guide the straightening machine in its operation.

[0003] After searching, three patent documents were found to be most relevant to this utility model technology. The specific contents are described below:

[0004] Patent document CN 201220362528.X discloses a steel pipe bending degree measuring tool. The tool includes a horizontal ruler, a support, a dial indicator, a slider, and a probe. The tool is exquisitely designed and ingeniously conceived. The support clamps the steel pipe and rotates it to find the bending point at the end of the steel pipe. The dial indicator is adjusted to zero and then slid to the bending point of the steel pipe, which directly displays the bending degree of the steel pipe end. It has the characteristics of simple structure, convenient operation, low manufacturing cost, and high measurement accuracy. Since it is designed for measuring the bending degree of the pipe end, this tool is suitable for measuring the bending degree of the steel pipe end.

[0005] Patent document CN 202023084139.9 discloses a steel pipe bending measurement and marking device. This device includes an ink cartridge, a rope wheel, a laser transmission device, a rope, a support wheel, an adhesive device, a motor, a rotating shaft, a cylinder, a support base, and a central control console. The device is exquisitely designed and ingeniously conceived. The rope uses the ink to mark the protruding bending points of the steel pipe to indicate the bending direction. When a steel pipe with excessive bending rotates, the laser transmission device is interrupted, and the control console is activated to record the information of the out-of-tolerance steel pipe. It features a simple structure, automatic convenience, and accurate identification. This device is suitable for screening steel pipes with excessive bending.

[0006] Patent document CN 202420926719.7 discloses a device for measuring the curvature of a steel pipe along its entire length. The device includes magnetic pads, measuring lines, and a depth gauge. The device is exquisitely designed and ingeniously conceived. The magnetic pads can be adsorbed onto the surface of the steel pipe to be measured, making it easy to install and remove. By adjusting the length of the measuring line between the two magnetic pads, the curvature of steel pipes of different lengths can be measured. It features a simple structure, convenient operation, and high work efficiency. It can also measure the curvature of steel pipes with "S"-shaped bends along their entire length and local curvature. However, since only a depth gauge is used, the measurement accuracy of this device is relatively low. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0060] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings. The embodiments are only for understanding the present invention and are not intended to limit the content of the present invention.

[0062] The assembly process of the vertical pendulum steel pipe local bending measurement device provided by this utility model

[0063] Combination Figures 1 to 19 As shown, firstly, the first bracket 1 is horizontally set, and then the two second bodies 201 of the two second brackets 2 are simultaneously set on the eight upper surfaces of the eight second protrusions 103 of the first bracket 1. The eight first through holes 205 of the two second brackets 2 and the eight second screw holes 107 of the first bracket 1 are aligned. Then, the eight bolts 8 are passed through the eight first through holes 205 and screwed into the eight second screw holes 107. In this way, the two second brackets 2 and the first bracket 1 can be assembled.

[0064] Then, the four fifth bodies 601 of the four fifth brackets 6 are simultaneously set on the sixteen upper surfaces of the sixteen first protrusions 102 of the first bracket 1, and the sixteen third through holes 605 of the four fifth brackets 6 are aligned with the sixteen first screw holes 106 of the first bracket 1. Then, the sixteen bolts 8 are passed through the sixteen third through holes 605 and screwed into the sixteen first screw holes 106. In this way, the four fifth brackets 6 and the first bracket 1 can be assembled.

[0065] Then, eight rolling bearings 9 are installed in the eight grooves 703 of the eight sixth brackets 7, and the eight sixth brackets 7 are arranged in pairs facing each other. Then, the eight bearing segments 304 of the four third brackets 3 are respectively inserted into the eight rolling bearings 9. In this way, the eight sixth brackets 7, the eight rolling bearings 9 and the four third brackets 3 can be assembled.

[0066] Then, the eight fourteenth protrusions 702 of the eight sixth brackets 7 are respectively fitted onto the left and right eight end faces of the eight thirteenth protrusions 604 of the four fifth brackets 6, and the thirty-two fifth through holes 705 of the eight sixth brackets 7 and the thirty-two fourth screw holes 606 of the four fifth brackets 6 are aligned. Then, the thirty-two bolts 8 are passed through the thirty-two fifth through holes 705 and screwed into the thirty-two fourth screw holes 606. In this way, the eight sixth brackets 7 and the four fifth brackets 6 can be assembled.

[0067] Then, four wheels 10 are inserted into the four third through slots 404 of the fourth bracket 4, and the four axle holes of the four wheels 10 are aligned with the eight second through holes 405 of the fourth bracket 4. Then, four axles 11 are installed in the four sets of aligned through holes. In this way, one fourth bracket 4 and four wheels 10 can be assembled into a fourth bracket vehicle.

[0068] Then, the four wheels 10 installed on the fourth bracket 4 are simultaneously placed on the upper end face of the first body 101 of the first bracket 1, ensuring that the four wheels 10 are simultaneously located within the two first through slots 105 of the first bracket 1. Finally, the three threaded sections 502 of the three measuring rods 5 are screwed into the three third screw holes 406 of the fourth bracket 4. In this way, the entire device is assembled and can be put into use.

[0069] The principle for setting the swing direction of the third support in the vertical swing-type steel pipe local bending measurement device provided by this utility model

[0070] Combination Figure 3As shown in the schematic diagram of the left view structure of this utility model, for ease of description, the two third supports 3 arranged in opposite directions can be regarded as a group. In this way, the four third supports 3 can be divided into two groups. Let the third support 3 in front of each group be defined as ① and the third support 3 in the back be defined as ②. The eight bearing segments 304 of the two groups of third supports 3 can all be used as swing axes, and can all be defined as O.

[0071] Assuming that initially both sets of the third brackets 3 are in a relaxed configuration, that is, all four seventh protrusions 302 are in an upright configuration, the simplified version is as follows: Figure 20 As shown, along the two swing axes O, ① swings 90 degrees clockwise, and ② swings 90 degrees counterclockwise. Then, both sets of the third brackets 3 are in working position, that is, the four seventh protrusions 302 are in horizontal position. We can define the swing directions of ① and ② as positive.

[0072] Assuming that initially both sets of the third brackets 3 are in a working configuration, that is, all four seventh protrusions 302 are horizontally positioned, the simplified configuration is as follows: Figure 21 As shown, along the two swing axes O, ① swings 90 degrees counterclockwise, while ② swings 90 degrees clockwise. Then, both sets of the third supports 3 are in a relaxed setting, that is, the four seventh protrusions 302 are in a vertical setting. We can define the swing directions of ① and ② as opposite.

[0073] To enable both sets of third supports 3 to swing precisely at a 90-degree angle, four couplings, four reducers, and four servo motors can be installed at the outer ends of the four bearing sections 304 on one side of the two sets of third supports 3. Since the encoder can detect the rotor's position, speed, and acceleration in a timely manner and feed this information back to the servo driver, precise control of the servo motors can be achieved. The reducer can convert the relatively high speed of the servo motor into a relatively low speed. Therefore, by driving four servo motors and using four couplings, precise swing of the two sets of third supports 3 can be achieved.

[0074] For ease of description, let's define the direction of rotation of the four servo motors that enables the two sets of ① and ② to swing forward as "positive". Thus, by simultaneously driving the four servo motors in the positive direction, the two sets of ① and ② can simultaneously swing forward at a constant speed. After a certain period of time, the two sets of ① and ② can swing forward by 90 degrees. Similarly, let's define the direction of rotation of the four servo motors that enables the two sets of ① and ② to swing backward as "reverse". Thus, by simultaneously driving the four servo motors in the reverse direction, the two sets of ① and ② can simultaneously swing backward at a constant speed. After a certain period of time, the two sets of ① and ② can swing backward by 90 degrees.

[0075] The working principle of the vertical pendulum steel pipe local bending measurement device provided by this utility model

[0076] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, for ease of description, let's assume the concave surface of the steel pipe 12 faces downwards, and let's define the three measuring rods 5 arranged on the left and right as A, B, and C respectively. Initially, all three measuring rods 5 are at the zero-scale position, as shown. Figure 22 As shown; the three measuring rods 5 are screwed in respectively, and each rod is tangent to the lower surface of the steel pipe 12. Let the screwing lengths of A, B, and C be defined as △A, △B, and △C respectively. Figures 23 to 25 As shown;

[0077] To simplify the measurement, assume that the steel pipe 12 has only one concave arc surface, that is, only one bend point. Let's define this bend point as M. This allows us to divide the steel pipe 12 into the left side of the bend point, the bend point itself, and the right side of the bend point. There is a general rule: the closer the measuring rod 5 is to the bend point, the greater the distance the measuring rod 5 needs to be screwed in; conversely, the farther the measuring rod 5 is from the bend point, the smaller the distance the measuring rod 5 needs to be screwed in. Figures 26 to 36 As shown, there are a total of eleven possible relationships between △A, △B, and △C, which will be discussed and explained below;

[0078] (1) If △A < △B < △C, and C is located to the left of the inflection point, this is the worst-case scenario, indicating that A, B, and C are all located to the left of the inflection point. Figure 26As shown; the fourth support vehicle should be moved slowly and horizontally to the right at a uniform speed along the first through groove 105 of the first support 1. During this process, the values ​​of △A, △B, and △C all increase. When the value of △C begins to decrease, it indicates that C has crossed the inflection point and is located to the right of the inflection point. Continue to move the fourth support vehicle slowly and horizontally to the right at a uniform speed. During this process, the values ​​of △A and △B both increase, and the value of △C decreases until △A = △C. At this time, A, B, and C are all in the standard measurement position, that is, B is located at the inflection point, and the value of △B reaches its maximum. △A, △B, and △C can be read directly.

[0079] (2) If △A < △B < △C, and C is located at the inflection point, the value of △C reaches its maximum. This situation is relatively unfavorable, indicating that both A and B are located to the left of the inflection point. Figure 27 As shown; the fourth support vehicle should be moved slowly and horizontally to the right along the first through groove 105 of the first support 1. During this process, the values ​​of △A and △B are increasing and the value of △C is decreasing until △A=△C. At this time, A, B and C are all in the standard measurement position, that is, B is located at the inflection point and the value of △B reaches the maximum. △A, △B and △C can be read directly.

[0080] (3) If △A < △B < △C, and the distance from B and C to the inflection point is closer than that of B and C, this situation is relatively bad. It indicates that A and B are both located to the left of the inflection point, and C is located to the right of the inflection point. Figure 28 As shown; the fourth support vehicle should be moved slowly and horizontally to the right along the first through groove 105 of the first support 1. During this process, the values ​​of △A and △B are increasing and the value of △C is decreasing until △A=△C. At this time, A, B and C are all in the standard measurement position, that is, B is located at the inflection point and the value of △B reaches the maximum. △A, △B and △C can be read directly.

[0081] (4) If △B = △C, and both are greater than △A, meaning the distances from B and C to the inflection point are equal, this situation is relatively unfavorable. It indicates that A and B are both located to the left of the inflection point, and C is located to the right of the inflection point. Figure 29 As shown; the fourth support vehicle should be moved slowly and horizontally to the right along the first through groove 105 of the first support 1. During this process, the values ​​of △A and △B are increasing and the value of △C is decreasing until △A=△C. At this time, A, B and C are all in the standard measurement position, that is, B is located at the inflection point and the value of △B reaches the maximum. △A, △B and △C can be read directly.

[0082] (5) If △A < △C < △B, and the distance from B and C to the inflection point is greater, this situation is relatively bad. It indicates that A and B are both located to the left of the inflection point, and C is located to the right of the inflection point. Figure 30 As shown; the fourth support vehicle should be moved slowly and horizontally to the right along the first through groove 105 of the first support 1. During this process, the values ​​of △A and △B are increasing and the value of △C is decreasing until △A=△C. At this time, A, B and C are all in the standard measurement position, that is, B is located at the inflection point and the value of △B reaches the maximum. △A, △B and △C can be read directly.

[0083] (6) The most ideal situation is when △A = △C, and both are less than △B. This indicates that A is located to the left of the inflection point, B is exactly located at the inflection point, and C is located to the right of the inflection point. Figure 31 As shown; at this time, A, B and C are all in the standard measurement position, the value of △B reaches the maximum, and △A, △B and △C can be read directly;

[0084] (7) If △B > △A > △C, and B is closer to the inflection point than A and B, this situation is relatively bad. It indicates that A is located to the left of the inflection point, and B and C are both located to the right of the inflection point. Figure 32 As shown; the fourth support vehicle should be moved slowly and horizontally to the left along the first through groove 105 of the first support 1. During this process, the value of △A decreases, while the values ​​of △B and △C increase until △A = △C. At this point, A, B, and C are all in the standard measurement position, that is, B is located at the inflection point, and the value of △B reaches its maximum. △A, △B, and △C can then be read directly.

[0085] (8) If △A = △B, and both are greater than △C, meaning the distances from A and B to the inflection point are equal, this situation is relatively unfavorable. It indicates that A is located to the left of the inflection point, and both B and C are located to the right of the inflection point. Figure 33 As shown; the fourth support vehicle should be moved slowly and horizontally to the left along the first through groove 105 of the first support 1. During this process, the value of △A decreases, while the values ​​of △B and △C increase until △A = △C. At this point, A, B, and C are all in the standard measurement position, that is, B is located at the inflection point, and the value of △B reaches its maximum. △A, △B, and △C can then be read directly.

[0086] (9) If △A>△B>△C, and the distances from A and B to the inflection point are greater than those from A and B, this situation is relatively unfavorable. It indicates that A is located to the left of the inflection point, and both B and C are located to the right of the inflection point. Figure 34 As shown; the fourth support vehicle should be moved slowly and horizontally to the left along the first through groove 105 of the first support 1. During this process, the value of △A decreases, while the values ​​of △B and △C increase until △A = △C. At this point, A, B, and C are all in the standard measurement position, that is, B is located at the inflection point, and the value of △B reaches its maximum. △A, △B, and △C can then be read directly.

[0087] (10) If △A > △B > △C, and A is located at the inflection point, the value of △A reaches its maximum. This situation is relatively unfavorable, indicating that both B and C are located to the right of the inflection point. Figure 35 As shown; the fourth support vehicle should be moved slowly and horizontally to the left along the first through groove 105 of the first support 1. During this process, the value of △A decreases, while the values ​​of △B and △C increase until △A = △C. At this point, A, B, and C are all in the standard measurement position, that is, B is located at the inflection point, and the value of △B reaches its maximum. △A, △B, and △C can then be read directly.

[0088] (11) If △A>△B>△C, and A is located to the right of the inflection point, this is the worst-case scenario, indicating that A, B, and C are all located to the right of the inflection point. Figure 36 As shown; the fourth support vehicle should be moved slowly and horizontally to the left along the first through slot 105 of the first support 1. During this process, the values ​​of △A, △B, and △C all increase. When the value of △A begins to decrease, it indicates that A has crossed the inflection point and is located to the left of the inflection point. Continue to move the fourth support vehicle slowly and horizontally to the left. During this process, the value of △A decreases, while the values ​​of △B and △C increase until △A = △C. At this point, A, B, and C are all in the standard measurement position, that is, B is located at the inflection point, and the value of △B reaches its maximum. △A, △B, and △C can be read directly.

[0089] Let's define the local curvature of the steel pipe 12 as W. When △A=△C, that is, when A, B and C are all in the standard measurement position, B is located at the inflection point, and the value of △B reaches the maximum, we can directly read △A, △B and △C, then W=△B-△A=△B-△C.

[0090] Combination Figure 37As shown, to simplify calculations, the device of this utility model adopts a symmetrical structure design. Let the axial distance between two adjacent measuring rods 5 be defined as d, the straightening force as F, and the supporting force as N. The direction of the straightening force F is always vertically downward, the active force application point is located at the standard measurement position where B is located, and the distance moved is (△B-△A) or (△B-△C). The direction of the supporting force N is always vertically upward, and the passive force application points are located at the standard measurement positions where A and C are located, respectively.

[0091] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the combined use of the three scale segments 501 of the three measuring rods 5 and the three tenth protrusions 403 of the fourth bracket 4 can form three micrometers, and the measurement accuracy of the three micrometers can reach 0.01mm. Reasoning process: Since the thread pitch of the measuring rod 5 is 0.5mm, that is, for each rotation of the measuring rod 5, the axial distance that the measuring rod 5 moves within the third screw hole 406 is 0.5mm. Since the circumferential surface of the tenth protrusion 403 is evenly marked with fifty divisions, therefore, for each division that the measuring rod 5 rotates, the axial distance that the measuring rod 5 moves within the third screw hole 406 is 0.01mm.

[0092] The method of using the vertical pendulum steel pipe local bending measurement device provided by this utility model

[0093] Assuming that initially both sets of ① and ② are vertically positioned, meaning that the four seventh protrusions 302 of both sets of ① and ② are vertically positioned, and that A, B, and C are all at the zero-scale position, such as Figure 1As shown; then, the four servo motors are driven in the forward direction for a corresponding period of time so that the two sets of ① and ② can simultaneously rotate 90 degrees in the forward direction at a uniform speed. At this time, the four seventh protrusions 302 are all horizontally set; then, the steel pipe 12 passes through the four eighth protrusions 303 and is set in the two second through slots 206 of the two second supports 2, ensuring that the concave arc surface of the steel pipe 12 is set vertically downward; then, A, B and C are screwed in respectively until the three contact segments 503 contact the lower surface of the steel pipe 12 respectively, and then △A and △B are read respectively. And △C; then rotate A, B, and C respectively until A, B, and C are all at the zero mark position. Then, based on the size relationship between △A, △B, and △C, and referring to the relevant content of the working principle, decide whether to move the fourth support vehicle horizontally to the left or horizontally to the right at a constant speed. During this period, measure △A, △B, and △C again until △A = △C. At this time, A, B, and C are all at the standard measurement position. Read △A, △B, and △C respectively, and then substitute them into the formula W = △B - △A = △B - △C for calculation. Figures 2 to 4 As shown.

[0094] Supplementary Explanation: The vertical pendulum steel pipe local bending measurement device provided by this utility model adopts a symmetrical structure design. A device of corresponding specifications should be designed and manufactured to match the outer diameter, fixed length, and installation height of the steel pipe. The zero-scale position refers to the position where the scale segment of the measuring rod and the initial scale line of the tenth protrusion at the lower position of the fourth support are aligned. The inner diameter of the second through groove of the second support should be equal to the outer diameter of the steel pipe, that is, when the concave arc surface of the steel pipe is facing downwards, it can effectively ensure that the second through groove can perfectly fit the steel pipe. When both sets ① and ② are horizontally arranged... The distance between the two opposing eighth protrusions should be equal to the outer diameter of the steel pipe to ensure proper insertion with the concave arc surface of the steel pipe facing downwards. The corresponding time period refers to the time it takes for the third support to swing 90 degrees. Since a coupling, a reducer, and a servo motor are installed on the bearing section of one side of the third support, the reducer converts the relatively high speed of the servo motor into a relatively low speed. Therefore, the servo motor needs to be continuously driven for a period of time so that the third support can swing 90 degrees. Because the contact section of the measuring rod adopts a frustum-shaped structure, even if there is a certain degree of deviation in the placement of the concave arc surface of the steel pipe... This also ensures that the contact section and the steel pipe remain tangent. Of course, this deviation should generally be very small, and the area of ​​the upper surface of the frustum should also be very small to avoid affecting the measurement results. Before moving the fourth support vehicle horizontally at a constant speed, A, B, and C should be rotated out respectively until they are all at the zero mark position to avoid A, B, and C hitting the steel pipe during the movement of the fourth support vehicle. If △A, △B, and △C all change within the same monotonic interval, that is, A, B, and C are simultaneously located to the left of the inflection point or simultaneously located to the right of the inflection point... For measurement where △A, △B, and △C do not change within the same monotonic range (i.e., A, B, and C are located to the left and right of the inflection point, respectively), the movement distance of the fourth support vehicle can be appropriately reduced (i.e., fine-tuning the positioning measurement). When △A = △C, meaning A, B, and C are all in the standard measurement position, pigment should be evenly applied to the upper surfaces of A, B, and C to mark the local bends of the steel pipe, thus guiding the straightening machine to pre-straighten the steel pipe.

[0095] As can be seen from the embodiments, the local bending of the steel pipe based on the vertical swing type steel pipe measuring device provided by this utility model can accurately measure the local bending of the steel pipe, so as to guide the straightening machine to perform pre-straightening of the steel pipe. The device of this utility model has the characteristics of low manufacturing cost, simple operation and good use effect.

[0096] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
