The present invention relates to the technical field of iron and steel metallurgical cooling, in particular to an annular cooling device for large-scale cylindrical shell.
An important process of large-scale cylindrical shell rolling is that reasonable cooling is required during hot rolling. The new process of controlled cooling is a key process step to ensure the functional performance of large-scale cylindrical shell products. As an extra-large and thick piece, the large-scale cylindrical shell can reach a maximum size of 8 m in diameter, 0.65 m in thickness and 3.7 m in axial width. At present, the cooling of large-scale cylindrical shells usually only uses a set of cooling spray cooling units, with outer sprays cooling the outer surface of the cylindrical shell and inner sprays cooling the inner surface of the cylindrical shell. The existing ring rolling cooling method for large-scale cylindrical shells is one cooling process for each ring rolling, two cooling processes for ring rolling twice, and the interval between the two cooling processes is relatively long. This cooling method is relatively simple, however, the problem of internal grain growth during the cooling process of the cylindrical shell occurs inevitably. During hot rolling, the heat in the core of the cylindrical shell is high. After the surface is cooled, the heat in the core reverses to the surface. The thicker the wall, the stronger the effect of the core reversing to the surface and the faster the trend of grain growth. Mechanical properties such as strength, hardness, plasticity and toughness will decrease. Due to the effect of its own thickness, it is difficult for the cylindrical shell to meet the conditions of large deformation and high cooling rate, etc. Therefore, the reasonable choice of cooling process and the reasonable arrangement of the cooling device are the key to ensure the solving of the problems that occur during the cooling process of the large-scale cylindrical shell such as untimely cooling, unable to better inhibit the strong temperature reversion of the large and thick piece of the cylindrical shell and the deterioration of the mechanical properties of the grain growth.
Chinese Patent Publication No. CN107560443A “a cooling device for metallurgy” discloses a cooling device, which uses water jets to cool the upper and lower parts of the material to achieve uniform cooling. This method has a certain effect on the uniform cooling of the surface, but the cooling rate is not very obvious. Spray cooling is an effective heat transfer method, but generally affected by the arrangement of the tube bundle and the cross section and structure of the tube bundle. Tube bundle cooling water flow is presented as columns of water, the plate directly below the water column dissipates heat quickly, and the heat dissipation area between the water columns is relatively small, which can be solved by increasing the water flow, but this obviously increases the consumption of water energy, not in line with the modern society's energy-saving advocacy, so when this spray cooling is applied to thick and extra-thick pieces, the cooling rate is not ideal, i.e., the effect of inhibiting temperature reversion is not ideal.

During the rolling process of the cylindrical shell 1, the cooling lines complete the cooling effect on the cylindrical shell 1 as the cylindrical shell 1 is ring rolled. In this embodiment, the cooling lines formed by the jet pipe sets in the inner jet device 13 are arranged opposite to the cooling lines formed by the jet pipe sets in the outer jet device 14.
In this embodiment, the rolling parameters of the large-scale cylindrical shell are: the outer diameter (2r) of cylindrical shell 1 is 5334 mm, the circumferential speed (V) of cylindrical shell 1 is 150 mm/s, the thickness of cylindrical shell 1 is 586 mm, and the rolling temperature is 980° C., the length of cylindrical shell 1 is 2770 mm, according to the formula V=2πr/T, it can be known that the time for the cylindrical shell 1 is to rotate 60° is greater than 2 s, and the circumferential speed of the cylindrical shell 1 is determined by the upper roller 7 and the lower roller 8.
The cylindrical shell 1 is ring rolled under the action of the upper roller 7 and the lower roller 8, and the first guide roller 9 and the second guide roller 10 move outward as the diameter of the cylindrical shell 1 expands.
