Description
24 1 7706 STAINLESS STEEL lEIEATl:R TUBE AND WELDING PROCEDURE FOR
PREPARAT1 ON THEREOF
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a worldling procedure for production of a heater tube, and more particularly to a welding procedure for preparation of a stainless steel heater tube. The present invention also relates to a stainless steel heater tube which is prepared by means of said welding procedure.
Many heater tubes, for example various immersion stainless steel heater tubes, are currently used for various purposes, including heating and maintaining the temperature of water in a cup or a pot, in which the heater tube is connected to a thermally conductive and temperature control trench on a flange used for fixing the heater tube. In the prior art, the heater tube is connected to the temperature control place being in the convex-concave form by means of the traditional welding procedures, without any part having good thermal conductivity to be supplemented.
Thus, welded heater tubes need to be electroplated or are subject to a sand blasting surface treatment. As a result, production efficiency is decreased and the cost of ] ! production wild rise. In addition, due to using the traditional welding procedures, for example gun welding, hot welding (furnace welding), argon arc welding etc. As far as the gun welding is concerned, after such welding, the heater tube welded is difficult to be purged so that further electroplating needs to be done. Subject to this treatment, the heater tube is easy to be out of shape. If using the furnace welding, it is carried out at about i,000DC, whereby colouriTIg the heater tube black and requiring it to be subjected to the surface treatment. Similarly, when using argon arc welding, the welding surface will become black and the welding slag is entrapped on it so that such surface has to be treated.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In order to solve the technical problems arising in welding the heater tubes, an object of the present invention is to provide a welding procedure for production of a stainless steel heater tube, which is high in production efficiency, good in welding quality and is capable of substantially improving thermally conductive performance.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a stainless steel heater tube which is produced by means of said welding procedure.
A technical scheme provided by the present invention is that: a welding procedure for combining a stainless steel heater tube with a flange used for fixing it comprises the following steps of: positioning the stainless steel heater tube to be joined at a thermally conductive and temperature control trench of the flange; and b) by spot welding machine, the welding parameters of which are as follows; voltage (V): 270-320; ] O squeeze time (cycle): 15-25; pressing time (cycle): 8-15.
In order further to improve the welding quality, two tube ends of the stainless steel electrothermal tube and two holes on the flange should be joined by means of ]5 laser welding technique. Thus, the welded portions are not oxidated and coloured so that original colour of stainless steed is kept and no any surface treatment is required.
Therefore, the welding procedure in accordance with the present invention further comprises the steps of: a) clampings two tube ends of the stainless steed electrothermal tube welded by step c) of claim] and two holes on the flange by means of a clamp means; and b) joining the end tubes and the flange together by means of laser welding machine.
In the welding procedure in accordance with the present invention, at least one convex point is provided on the thermally conductive and temperature control trench on the flange used for fixing the stainless steed electronthermal tube and at least one convex point is also provided on the thermally conductive and temperature control place on the Mange joined up to the electrothermal tube.
The advantages of the present invention reside mainly in the fact that: due to that at least one convex point is respectively provided on the thennally conductive and temperature control trench and place of the flange, this point or these points may serve as connecting place(s) when spot welding, thereby improving its reliability and efficiency. In comparison with the genera] welding methods, it is simple in operation, reliable in safety performance and energy saving as well as good thermal conductivity of the stainless steel heater tube thus being wedded can be kept. As a result, energy saving, high productivity and stable welding quality can be carried out by the welding procedure in accordance with the present invention. Without changing original colour of the stainless steel tube. Preferably, joining the tube ends of the stainless steed heater tube to the holes on the flange is perfonned by laser welding technique. Thus, the welding positions are not easy to be oxidated and coloured so that it is not necessary for the welded surface to make any treatment.
