Description

Small-radius bent pipe forming process of U-shaped heat exchange pipe
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of cored elbows, in particular to a small-radius elbow forming process of a U-shaped heat exchange tube.
Background
The heat exchanger is a device for heating or cooling one medium by using the other medium, the two mediums have different temperatures, and generally have different medium components, and the heat exchanger is divided into a tubular heat exchanger and a plate heat exchanger according to a medium isolation mode, wherein heat exchange tubes adopted by the tubular heat exchanger have different forms, and mainly comprise straight tubes and U-shaped tubes. The U-shaped heat exchange tube is formed by cold bending a straight tube, the U-shaped heat exchange tube is provided with a straight tube section and a bent tube section, high-temperature and high-pressure liquid is generally introduced into the U-shaped tube, the flow speed is relatively high in order to improve the heat exchange efficiency, if the ovality difference between the bent tube section and the straight tube section is relatively large, turbulent flow is generated at the transition part of the fluid passing through the straight tube section and the bent tube section, and therefore vibration of the tube bundle is overlarge, and the use of equipment is affected.
Referring to fig. 1, the inside and outside diameters of the straight pipe section are respectively ID and OD, the bending radius of the bent pipe section is R, the deformation degree of the bent pipe section changes along with the change of the bending radius R, and the main reference parameters of the deformation are the outside diameter, ovality, wall thickness and the like of the bent pipe section. The difficulty of controlling the deformation is also different for different bending radii R, especially for U-shaped heat exchange tubes with bending radii r.ltoreq.3×od, which are also called small radii. Generally speaking, the ideal heat exchange tube product parameters are that the outer diameter of the bent tube section is in the range of 0.9-1.1 OD, and the ellipticity is 20-3 OD or less, but for the U-shaped heat exchange tube with R less than or equal to 3OD, the conventional tube bending forming process often has difficulty in ensuring that the outer diameter of the bent tube section is in the proper range, the ellipticity also often reaches about 30% OD, for example, the thin-wall small-radius tube rapid cold-drawing technology disclosed in the chinese patent application No. CN201710147704.5 is adopted, the thin-wall small-radius tube is rapidly cold-drawn by adopting a thin-wall small-radius tube bender, and the following steps are adopted for processing: a. core feeding; b. clamping in; c. bending in; d. core withdrawal; e. clamping and backing; f. the guiding die is retracted, and the pipe bending efficiency is high and the pipe can be bent without wrinkling and the bending surface is smooth, but the pipe manufactured by the scheme still can not meet the proper standard in the aspect of controlling and forming the outer diameter and ellipticity of the bent pipe section.
While other bend forming processes, such as hot bending or processes utilizing ball and socket joint rods, have the ability to control the forming outer diameter and ovality of the bend section, they are not suitable for processing U-shaped heat exchange tubes, so in order to effectively control the small radius bend section diameter and ovality of the U-shaped heat exchange tubes used in tube heat exchangers to meet predetermined forming criteria, new breakthroughs need to be sought based on existing bend processes.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to provide a small-radius bend forming process of a U-shaped heat exchange tube, which solves the problem that the diameter and ellipticity of a bend section of the U-shaped heat exchange tube for a tube heat exchanger after small-radius bend processing cannot reach proper standards in the prior art.
The specific technical scheme of the invention is as follows: a small radius bend forming process of U-shaped heat exchange tube comprises the following steps,
(1) Feeding and positioning: the pipe fitting is placed in the guide cavity, the core rod is inserted into the pipe fitting, meanwhile, the pipe fitting is placed in the cavity of the pipe bending die, the pipe fitting is provided with a bending starting point serving as the junction of the bent pipe section and the straight pipe section, the core rod comprises a main body section and a rounding head section, and the junction of the rounding head section and the main body section exceeds the bending starting point;
(2) Clamping a pipe fitting: clamping the pipe fitting and the pipe bending die together through the pipe bending clamp;
(3) Bending pipe fitting: the pipe bending die and the pipe bending clamp drive the pipe fitting to rotate along with the circumference of the pipe bending die until the pipe fitting is formed into a U-shaped pipe from a straight pipe;
the range of the distance d between the junction of the main body section and the rounding head section and exceeding the bending starting point is 4-5 mm, and the relation between the diameter od of the main body section and the inner diameter ID of the pipe fitting is od=ID-0.5 mm.
The applicant has found that the existing bend forming process often only focuses on how to smooth, wrinkle-free, fracture-free finished bend sections, which, although well established, ignores the problem of how to stabilize finished bend sections to the desired dimensional specifications for practical use. The applicant researches that the outside diameter of a bent pipe section of a finished product of a U-shaped heat exchange pipe with a bending radius of small radius (R is less than or equal to 3 OD) is controlled to be ideally 0.9-1.1 OD, and ellipticity is controlled to be ideally below 20 percent, so that high-temperature, high-pressure and high-speed fluid cannot generate turbulent flow when flowing in the U-shaped heat exchange pipe, and excessive vibration affecting the use of the heat exchange pipe bundle is avoided, but even the existing forming process applicable to the U-shaped heat exchange pipe is difficult to manufacture products with ideal dimension specifications, other bending forming processes such as hot working, follow-up ball joint core rods and the like are basically not applicable to the U-shaped heat exchange pipe, and the rotating difficulty is high.
In the process of bending the pipe, the stress and the strain in the bending part of the pipe are changed in a complex manner, the cross section of the bending part of the pipe is deformed into an approximate ellipse under the combined action of the outside tension and the inside pressure, and the smaller the bending radius R is, the larger the combined action force is, and the more remarkable the deformation is. The U-shaped heat exchange tube is formed by a cored pipe bending process, namely a process of inserting a core rod into a pipe fitting and bending the pipe fitting, wherein the core rod is a fixed columnar core rod. The larger the diameter of the core rod is, the easier the core rod is to be clamped during insertion and extraction, and the easier the inner wall of the heat exchange tube is stretched during bending, so that the appearance is not smooth enough; the smaller the diameter of the mandrel, the larger the gap between the mandrel and the inner wall of the pipe, the more easily the outside of the bent pipe section is flattened and the more easily the inside is wrinkled. The mandrel is also required to be inserted into a pipe bending section to a certain position, namely the distance d between the junction of the rounding head section and the main body section and the bending starting point is larger than the distance d, if the mandrel is inserted too deeply, the pipe wall is possibly crushed in the bending process; if the insertion is insufficient, the corresponding anti-flattening and anti-wrinkling effects are not achieved (the core rod is inserted originally to prevent the bending section from being excessively flattened and wrinkled). Through research practice, under the condition that the rest conditions meet the normal processing requirement, the applicant finds that the diameter of the core rod and the insertion degree of the core rod are both the most critical forming factors, and the U-shaped heat exchange tube with the ideal size specification can be finally obtained and can be obtained more stably under the matched value condition that d is more than or equal to 4 and less than or equal to 5mm and od is less than or equal to ID-0.5mm.
Preferably, the outer diameter OD of the pipe fitting suitable for the process is 16.00-32.00 mm, and the wall thickness T is 0.80-2.50 mm.
The process is particularly aimed at the U-shaped heat exchange tube of the tube heat exchanger, and when the outer diameter and the wall thickness of the tube are the sizes, the forming effect is more excellent and stable.
Preferably, the surface roughness Ra of the mandrel bar is 3.2 μm or less.
The surface roughness influences the smoothness of the bending section molding, and also influences the abrasion degree of the core rod and the inner wall of the pipe, when the abrasion is quicker or more serious, the gap between the core rod and the inner wall of the pipe is increased, the outer side of the bending section is easy to flatten, the inner side is easy to wrinkle, and the surface roughness is less than 3.2 mu m, so that good molding quality and service life can be ensured in the scheme.
Preferably, the mandrel is a hard nylon mandrel.
The hard nylon core rod has good surface roughness conforming to the scheme, has good and stable wear resistance, stretching and bending properties, can not only sufficiently support the inner wall of the pipe fitting when the pipe fitting is bent, but also can follow stretching and bending to a certain extent, ensures smooth and uncreped forming, reduces the flattening degree as much as possible, and is more beneficial to meeting the requirements of the target outer diameter and ovality to be obtained by the scheme.
Preferably, the length L of the mandrel bar is in the range of 90 to 100mm.
The length L of the mandrel achieves a good shaping effect in this range, i.e. ensures adequate support of the tube on the basis of ease of manufacture, installation and cost-effectiveness.
Preferably, the range of the radius r corresponding to the arc segment of the rounding head segment is 3-4 mm.
The rounding head section can be in a complete ball head or peripheral part rounding form, and the corresponding radius r of the arc section achieves a good forming effect in the range, namely, extrusion of the bending section is reduced, sufficient support is provided, smooth and uncreped forming is ensured, the flattening degree is reduced as much as possible, and the requirements of the target outer diameter and ellipticity to be obtained by the scheme are more favorably met.
The invention has the technical advantages that the forming process is characterized in that through the matching arrangement of the material of the core rod, the diameter od, the distance d extending into the bent pipe section and the like, after the core rod is cold-bent into the small-radius U-shaped pipe with the bending radius R less than or equal to 3X OD, the outer diameter of the bent pipe section can be stably controlled to be ideal 0.9X OD-1.1X OD, the ellipticity of the bent pipe section is stably controlled to be less than ideal 20%, the bending step can still follow the traditional step, the efficiency of the bent pipe is high, the bent pipe section is smooth and does not wrinkle, the quality of a finished product is generally and stably and controllably greatly improved, and the use effect of the bent pipe section in a tubular heat exchanger is also greatly improved, so the bent pipe heat exchanger is worthy of popularization and use in the field.
