The present invention relates to a steel pipe welding equipment, particularly relates to a super large diameter longitudinal welded pipe forming machine set for producing a welded steel pipe with a diameter of bigger than Φ630 mm.
At present, all industries have more requirements to conveying pipe products in machinery industry with the development of science and technology. For example, a large amount of big-diameter and high-performance conveying pipes, especially conveying pipes with a diameter of bigger than Φ630 mm are required in oil exploration. However, the steel pipe manufacturers both at home and aboard can only produce conveying pipes with a diameter of less than Φ630 mm, and a single method to produce the conveying pipes with a diameter of less than Φ630 mm has always been used. For example, some foreign manufacturers use FFX forming method, namely flexible forming method, and some other steel pipe manufacturers both at home and aboard normally use a cage roll type forming machine set. Therefore, it has become a difficult problem for the steel pipe manufacturers both at home and aboard to produce the conveying pipes with a diameter of bigger than Φ630 mm using each of the aforementioned single production methods. In a case where the cage roll forming machine set is used to produce the super large diameter longitudinal welded pipe, forming rolls are to be distributed on a forming surface of a work piece, and the problem thereof is that, even though the forming effect is good, one of outer rolls has to be heavier than 10 tons which makes it difficult to produce and install such a big equipment and leads to high investment. In order to solve the above problem, it is very necessary to develop a super large diameter longitudinal welded pipe forming machine set by which a welded steel pipe with a diameter of bigger than Φ630 mm can be produced.
In order to avoid the disadvantages and deficiencies in the above technique, the present invention provides a super large diameter longitudinal welded pipe forming machine set, which is characterized with reasonable arrangement and compact structure design and can be used to produce a super large diameter longitudinal welded pipe without using an extra heavy equipment. Furthermore, it also has advantages of high production efficiency, high forming quality, low investment cost, safe operation and convenient use.
The present invention is realized as follows:
The super large diameter longitudinal welded pipe forming machine set, wherein a longitudinal welded pipe forming machine set sequentially comprising an edge hollow-bending device, a cage roll forming machine and a plate-frame type forming machine is disposed according to a forming process of the super large diameter longitudinal welded pipe, wherein the edge hollow-bending device includes a machine seat, a pinch centring device and a plurality of edge bending mechanisms; the electric pinch centring device is disposed on the machine seat, and the plurality of edge bending mechanisms are distributed after the pinch centring device so as to correspond to different cross sections of a strip-shaped work piece in an edge bending process; the work piece, after the edge bending forming by the edge hollow-bending device, is delivered into an open cage roll forming machine combined by an outer roll device and an inner roll; a plate-frame type forming machine is disposed after the cage roll forming machine combined by the outer roll device and the inner roll; wherein the plate-frame type forming machine is provided with three or more plate type rigid frames and transmission devices for driving rolls on a base; each of the plate type rigid frame includes a machine frame body, an upper horizontal roll mechanism, an upper horizontal roll adjusting mechanism, a sliding seat, a supporting plate, a hydraulic cylinder, a lower horizontal roll mechanism, a lower horizontal roll adjusting mechanism, a side vertical roll mechanism and a side vertical roll adjusting mechanism; the machine frame body is an integrated structure formed by two plate bodies that are connected together; the upper horizontal roll mechanism including a roll shaft, a bearing seat and a horizontal roll is disposed in an upper sliding rail of the machine frame body corresponding to a top portion of the work piece; the upper horizontal roll adjusting mechanisms driven by an electric double worm shaft are disposed at both sides of a top portion centerline of the upper horizontal roll mechanism; the lower horizontal roll adjusting mechanism that is driven by an electric double worm shaft and includes a roll shaft, a bearing seat and a horizontal roll is disposed in a lower sliding rail of the machine frame body corresponding to the upper horizontal roll mechanism; top ends of two screws in the lower horizontal roll adjusting mechanism are connected to the supporting plate, and a top surface of the supporting plate is provided with the sliding seat; a rear end of the supporting plate is provided with the hydraulic cylinder for driving the sliding seat to slide in the supporting plate; the lower horizontal roll mechanism symmetric to the upper horizontal roll mechanism is disposed on a top surface of the sliding seat; two side vertical roll mechanisms are disposed symmetrically on the machine frame body corresponding to both sides of the work piece; and the side vertical roll mechanisms at both sides are symmetrically provided with the side vertical roll adjusting mechanisms driven by electric double worm shafts.
As is well-known, the normal steel pipe forming process includes gradually forming an I-shaped cross section of a work piece into a U-shaped cross section by a forming machine, and finally forming the open U-shaped cross section into a closed O-shaped cross section. Therefore, by analyzing the characteristics of the steel pipe forming process, the present invention provides a technical solution of a longitudinal welded pipe forming machine set sequentially comprising an edge hollow-bending device, a cage roll forming machine and a plate-frame type forming machine. Due thereto, the forming machines in accordance with the steel pipe forming characteristics have been reasonably used in different forming stages. During the forming stage of forming the I-shaped cross section of the work piece into the U-shaped cross section, the edge hollow-bending device including a machine seat, a pinch centring device and a plurality of edge bending mechanisms is adopted; during the U-shaped cross section forming stage, the open cage roll forming machine combined by an outer roll device and an inner roll, which includes the outer roll device, the inner roll, a pressing roll device, a lower driving roll, a cross beam, a supporting frame, a base and a lower support roll, is adopted; and during the closed O-shaped cross section forming stage, the plate-frame type forming machine including three or more plate type rigid frames is adopted, wherein each of the plate type rigid frame includes a machine frame body, an upper horizontal roll mechanism, an upper horizontal roll adjusting mechanism, a sliding seat, a supporting plate, a hydraulic cylinder, a lower horizontal roll mechanism, a lower horizontal roll adjusting mechanism, a side vertical roll mechanism and a side vertical roll adjusting mechanism. Accordingly, a good forming effect with respect to the welded pipe during the forming process is realized, thereby meeting the market requirement to the production of a welded steel pipe with a diameter of bigger than Φ630 mm. Therefore, the present invention is named as “A super large diameter longitudinal welded pipe forming machine set”.
