Description

Railway wheel cooling device

Technical Field

The utility model belongs to the technical field of the railway wheel, more specifically say, relate to a railway wheel cooling device.

Background

At present, in the preparation process of railway wheels at home and abroad, continuous low-pressure large-flow forced water spray cooling of a tread is a general heat treatment cooling mode. However, the tread near surface layer of the cooling mode is in direct contact with the cooling medium, the instantaneous temperature drop is extremely large, the heat inside the rim can be taken away by the cooling medium only by heat conduction to the tread near surface layer, and the cooling speed is obviously reduced compared with the tread near surface layer. The great difference of the cooling speed between the near surface layer of the tread and the inner part of the rim not only causes the near surface layer of the tread to form a non-pearlite abnormal structure, but also causes the lack of the cooling capacity in the inner part of the rim, causes the uneven cooling of the whole section of the rim along the radial direction, and affects the performance of the rim. Corresponding measures are also taken for the existing iron wheel cooling process.

For example, the Chinese patent application number is: CN200810020421.5, published date: the 2008 patent document 9/24 discloses a heat treatment method for the surface of a rim of a high-carbon steel railway wheel, which comprises the steps of firstly carrying out short-time water spray cooling on a wheel tread of the railway wheel by using small-flow water flow and then carrying out long-time forced water spray cooling on the wheel tread by using large-flow water flow in a cooling process. The invention also discloses a heat treatment device for implementing the method, wherein the water inlet ring pipe is divided into a large-flow water inlet ring pipe and a small-flow water inlet ring pipe, and the large-flow water inlet ring pipe is communicated with a plurality of large-flow nozzles; the small-flow water inlet ring pipe is communicated with a plurality of small-flow nozzles.

Also, for example, the Chinese patent application number is: CN201910358140.9, published date: patent literature of 26 days 7 months in 2019 discloses a heat treatment cooling process for a railway wheel, and belongs to the technical field of heat treatment cooling of railway wheels. The method comprises the following steps: firstly, heating the whole wheel to be completely austenitized; then transferring to a quenching platform to enable the wheel to be in a rotating state, and spraying the wheel tread by adopting pressure step incremental type gas mist two-phase flow; putting the whole wheel into a tempering furnace for heat preservation, and finally taking out for air cooling; the pressure step incremental type gas-mist two-phase flow injection wheel tread sequentially comprises three stages, wherein wheel rotating speeds v1, v2, v3 of the three stages are controlled, the water pressure is P1< P2< P3, and the quenching cooling time is T1< T2< T3; the number of nozzles which are started in three stages and distributed at equal intervals along the circumferential direction of the wheel is M, 2M and 3M in sequence.

Aiming at the condition that the difference of the cooling rates of the near surface layer of the wheel tread and the inside of the rim is overlarge in the wheel heat treatment and cooling process, so that the near surface layer of the tread has abnormal structures and the rim is not uniformly cooled in the radial direction, the two schemes adopt a mode of carrying out small-flow jet cooling on the wheel tread and then adopting large-flow jet cooling, so that the cooling rate areas from the wheel tread to the inside of the rim are uniform, and the probability of the abnormal structures on the near surface layer of the tread is reduced. However, in both of the two solutions, only the uniformity of the cooling speed of the rim in the radial direction is considered, and the cooling uniformity of the rim in the axial direction is not considered, but in the actual heat treatment process, the cooling medium is concentrated at the rim at the lower end of the wheel under the action of gravity, so that the cooling rate at the lower end rim is obviously greater than that at the upper end rim, thereby affecting the cooling uniformity of the rim in the axial direction and reducing the performance of the rim.

In addition, the railway wheel cooling processing device in the prior art also does not take corresponding measures for the cooling uniformity of the wheel rim in the axial direction, such as the Chinese patent application numbers: CN201810189670.0, published date: 2018, 7, 31 discloses a special combination formula nozzle of wheel quenching, including first set of nozzle and second set of nozzle, first set of nozzle includes nozzle pot chamber and establishes the nozzle water spray panel on nozzle pot chamber, be equipped with first set of nozzle water inlet on the nozzle pot chamber, be equipped with first set of nozzle apopore on the nozzle water spray panel, second set of nozzle is installed on the nozzle water spray panel of first set of nozzle, and the inlet tube of second set of nozzle is from the nozzle pot intracavity portion calandria of first set of nozzle. The second set of nozzles are reasonably installed, the two sets of nozzles are regulated in a standardized mode, the regulation operation is simplified, the regulation strength of the nozzles is reduced, the regulation time is greatly shortened, and the production efficiency of the heat treatment production line is greatly improved. However, the second set of small flow nozzles of this solution is integrated on the water spray panel of the first set of large flow nozzles, protrudes for a certain length, is limited by the spray range, cannot fully cover the entire tread area, directly affects the uniformity of the hardness of the rim section, and cannot solve the above mentioned problem of cooling uniformity in the axial direction of the rim.

The cooling uniformity of the railway wheel rim is improved, so that the hardness uniformity of the rim can be improved, and the method is favorable for improving the service performance of the wheel, particularly preventing or slowing down the use problems of out-of-round (polygonal) and eccentric wear of the wheel, and improving the wear uniformity in the whole life cycle. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a method and apparatus for manufacturing a railway wheel with high hardness uniformity to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art.

Example 2

A method for cooling a railway wheel, by using the railway wheel cooling device of embodiment 1, a wheel to be cooled, comprising the steps of:

first, preparation phase

And (3) conveying the wheel to be cooled in the heat treatment stage onto the quenching platform 1, enabling the side surface of the wheel to be upward, enabling the wheel tread to be right opposite to the water outlet panel 21 of the spray gun 2, and then starting the quenching platform 1 to enable the wheel to be in a rotating state.

Second, small flow injection stage

And starting the small spray hole branch pipe 25 to spray the wheel, wherein the spraying time is 60-210 s, the water pressure is P0, in the step, the P0 is 0.05-0.15 Mpa, and the specific spraying time depends on the wheel diameter of the wheel and the chemical composition of the wheel steel. When complete fine pearlite and a small amount of ferrite, namely F-P structure transformation, occur within a certain depth of the near surface layer of the tread, the injection is stopped, and at the moment, the metal temperature in the rim is still above Ac3 temperature and cooling transformation does not occur.

Third, high flow injection stage

Stopping the small spray hole branch pipe 25, starting the large spray hole branch pipe 24 to spray the wheel until the transition part of the rim and the spoke of the wheel becomes dark, and stopping spraying after the complete fine pearlite and a small amount of ferrite structure are converted. The water pressure of the large spout branch pipe 24 communicating with the large spout 22 at the upper part of the water outlet panel 21 is P1, and the water pressure of the large spout branch pipe 24 communicating with the large spout 22 at the lower part of the water outlet panel 21 is P2. In this step, P1 is 0.35-0.45 MPa, and P2 is 0.3-0.4 MPa.

When injected, P1 > P2 > P0. In the second step, the water outlet speed of the small spray hole 23 is 3-5 m/s, and the water outlet quantity of a single spray gun 2 is 4-7 m³H; in the third step, the water outlet speed of the large spray hole 22 is 7-12 m/s, and the water outlet quantity of a single spray gun 2 is 20-22 m³H is used as the reference value. The numerical range is the preferable numerical range with good wheel cooling effect, and particularly, the cooling effect is excellent for the wheel with the carbon content of 0.50-0.75% and the wheel diameter of 840-1250 mm.

In addition, when the wheel tread is sprayed, cooling water flows to and is accumulated at the lower end of the rim under the action of gravity, the contact time and the contact area of the lower end of the rim and the cooling water are larger than those of the upper end of the rim, so that the difference of the cooling speed of the upper part and the lower part of the rim is caused, namely the cooling in the axial direction of the wheel is uneven, the hardness uniformity of the rim in the axial direction of the wheel is damaged, and the use performance of the wheel is influenced. Particularly at the rim throat 33 as shown in fig. 4, the difference in cooling rate from the lower end of the rim is particularly significant because the area of contact with the water jet is small. In the large-flow injection stage, the water pressure of the two large-injection-hole branch pipes 24 is adjusted, so that the water pressure of the large injection holes 22 in the upper half part of the water outlet plate 21 is greater than the water pressure of the large injection holes 22 in the lower half part of the water outlet plate, the condition that the cooling speed of the rim in the wheel axial direction is inconsistent due to the fact that cooling water is accumulated on the lower part of the rim under the action of gravity is remarkably reduced or avoided, the cooling uniformity of the rim in the wheel axial direction is improved, the hardness gradient of the rim in the axial direction is reduced, and the problem of eccentric wear of the wheel rim.

Particularly, the cooling method is matched with the railway wheel cooling device in the embodiment 1 to cool the wheel, the water pressure and the water quantity of the plurality of spray guns 2 can be adjusted simultaneously only by adjusting the water inflow and the water pressure of the three ring pipes, the adjustment is extremely convenient, the water quantity and the water pressure of each spray gun 2 are ensured to be consistent, and the cooling uniformity of the wheel tread is improved.

Therefore, the cooling device and the cooling method are matched for use, and can be conveniently adjusted when the wheel is cooled, so that the rim is uniformly cooled in the axial direction and the radial direction of the wheel, the hardness uniformity of the rim is improved, and the railway wheel with excellent service performance is prepared.
