- This example is an example in which the spray nozzles 3 are arranged outside the steel pipe 1 at equal intervals of 45 ° when viewed as a cross section perpendicular to the pipe axis of the steel pipe 1 (see FIG. 1A). These spray nozzles 3 are arranged in a single row of spirals (see FIG. 1B). Therefore, the total number of spray nozzles 3 is 8 or more.
- FIG. 1B to FIG. 3B some nozzles 3 and headers 2 are illustrated in the longitudinal direction of the steel pipe in order to simply explain the spiral arrangement.
- the spray nozzle 3 is preferably used so that the cooling water 2 can be sprayed over a range wider than the spray nozzle diameter, and the spray nozzles 3 are preferably arranged so that the spray areas of the cooling water 2 overlap each other in a spiral manner (FIG. 1A )reference).
- the reason is that if the cooling water 2 injected in a conical shape (including a substantially conical shape in the present invention) is spirally overlapped with each other, a sufficient cooling rate can be secured and the steel pipe 1 is further rotated. This is because uniform cooling can be achieved.
- the spray nozzle 3 is preferably arranged so that the central axis of the injection port intersects the tube axis of the steel pipe 1 perpendicularly. The reason is that when the cooling water 2 is injected in the tangential direction (see FIG. 8) of the steel pipe 1 or in an oblique direction (not shown), the cooling efficiency is lowered, and it is difficult to secure a sufficient cooling rate. Because.
- the spray nozzles 3 are arranged on the outside of the steel pipe in a spiral manner at equal intervals. Therefore, the plurality of spray nozzles 3 are arranged in a direction parallel to the tube axis (see FIG. 1B).
- the spray nozzle 3 By arranging the spray nozzle 3 in a spiral shape, the cooling variation in the circumferential direction of the steel pipe 1 is reduced. Since the warp of the steel pipe 1 caused by the cooling variation in the circumferential direction is dispersed in the circumferential direction, the warp over the entire length can be reduced.
- the header 4 for supplying the cooling water 2 to those spray nozzles 3 it is preferable to arrange a substantially straight pipe in parallel to the tube axis.
- the header 4 is arranged in a spiral shape, the resistance of the cooling water 2 flowing in the header 4 increases, and the pressure and flow rate of the cooling water 2 injected from the spray nozzle 3 fluctuate. If the header 4 has a substantially straight tubular shape and is disposed in parallel with the tube axis, it is not necessary to produce a ring-shaped or spiral header, and therefore the installation cost can be kept low. Moreover, the spray nozzle 3 will be arrange
- the longitudinal pitch of the spray nozzles 3 is shortened, it is possible to secure a gap between the headers 4 as compared with the case where the headers 4 are arranged in a ring shape or a spiral shape. After the water falls, the cooling uniformity in the circumferential direction is further improved.
- “stopping the steel pipe in a direction parallel to the pipe axis and in a direction perpendicular to the pipe axis at a predetermined position” means that when the steel pipe is rapidly cooled, the steel pipe is moved in the pipe axis direction or a direction perpendicular to the pipe axis. It means that we do not move actively.
- the vibration of the steel pipe caused by rotating the steel pipe around the pipe axis and the unavoidable and unintentional movement of the steel pipe in the pipe axis direction and the vertical direction that can be caused by this vibration Is stopped at a predetermined position in a direction parallel to the tube axis and in a direction perpendicular thereto.
- the rotation speed of the steel pipe 1 is preferably 5 times / min or more and 300 times / min or less. From the viewpoint of suppressing the temperature unevenness in the circumferential direction of the steel pipe, the rotation speed is more preferably 10 times / minute or more, further preferably 30 times / minute or more, and more preferably 50 times / minute or more. Even more preferable.
- the rotational speed is more preferably less than 300 times / minute, and 250 times. / Min or less is more preferable, and 200 times / min or less is even more preferable.

- These spray nozzles 3 are arranged in two rows of spirals (see FIG. 2B). Therefore, the total number of spray nozzles 3 is 24 or more.
- the two rows of spirals are in a positional relationship that does not overlap each other. Therefore, the spray nozzles 3 adjacent to each other in the header 4 constitute different spirals.
- the spiral arrangement By setting the spiral arrangement to two or more rows, the temperature unevenness in the circumferential direction can be further reduced.
- the spray nozzle 3 for injecting the cooling water 2 in a conical shape is used as already described with reference to FIG.
- the header 4 for supplying the cooling water 2 to the spray nozzles 3 is preferably arranged in parallel to the tube axis.

- a pair (that is, two) of rotating rolls 5 are disposed in a cross section perpendicular to the tube axis of the steel pipe 1, and the steel pipe 1 is placed on the rotating roll 5.
- This is an example of rotation (see FIG. 3A). Since it is difficult to place the steel pipe 1 with only one pair of the rotating rolls 5, two or more pairs of rotating rolls 5 are arranged at equal pitches in a direction parallel to the tube axis of the steel pipe 1 (FIG. 3 ( b)).
- N in the formula is an arbitrary integer. N can be appropriately selected according to the length of the cooling water 2 in the tube axis direction and the rotational ability of the rotary roll 5 to rotate the steel pipe. If N is too large, the rotational capacity required per one rotating roll 5 becomes excessive, and the equipment cost increases. Therefore, N is preferably 5 or less. Moreover, since the rotation of a steel pipe becomes more stable as the number of rotating rolls 5 increases, the lower limit of N is 1.

- Invention Example 8 when viewed as a cross section perpendicular to the tube axis of the steel pipe, spray nozzles are arranged at 45 ° intervals and in four rows of spirals, and cooling water is sprayed to the outer surface while rotating the steel pipe.
- the temperature deviation after quenching was 5 ° C. in the longitudinal direction and 3 ° C. in the circumferential direction.
- the spray nozzles were further increased and densely arranged, and the number of rotations of the steel pipe was further increased. Therefore, temperature unevenness in the longitudinal direction and the circumferential direction was reduced as compared with Invention Example 7.
- Comparative Example 1 is an example (see FIGS. 4 and 5) in which cooling water was poured into the steel pipe to rapidly cool the inner surface.
- the cooling water does not contact the upper part of the inner surface, and the cooling water does not contact the inner surface of the pipe end on the side where the cooling water flows, so the temperature deviation after the rapid cooling is
- the longitudinal direction was 150 ° C. and the circumferential direction was 25 ° C., and the temperature unevenness was greatly increased as compared with Invention Examples 1-8.
- Comparative Example 2 is an example in which spray nozzles are arranged at 45 ° intervals on the same circumference in a cross section perpendicular to the pipe axis of the steel pipe, and arranged in the length direction of the steel pipe to arrange a total of 224 spray nozzles (Fig. 6).
- the ring-shaped high temperature portion and low temperature portion are alternately generated, so the temperature deviation after the rapid cooling is 48 ° C. in the longitudinal direction and 22 ° C. in the circumferential direction, and the temperature unevenness is increased as compared with Invention Examples 1 to 8. .

Abstract
Description
PRL=N×PSN ・・・(1)
回転ロール5のピッチPRLとスプレーノズル3のピッチをPSNが(1)式を満足することによって、図3(b)に示すように、冷却水2の噴射領域が重複する位置に回転ロール5が配設可能となる。図3(b)で示す配設は、スプレーノズル3のピッチPSNの中央にロール5が位置している。その結果、冷却水2が回転ロール5と干渉することなく円滑に流れるので、温度ムラを防止する効果が一層向上する。
2 冷却水
3 スプレーノズル
