  • the present disclosure relates to a hot-rolling and heat treatment process, particularly to a hot-rolling on-line thermal insulation heat treatment process and a heat treatment line.
  • hot coils are usually sent to a hot-rolled steel finishing warehouse to receive collective slow cooling with the aid of thermal insulation (using thermal insulation walls or thermal insulation pits, etc) or off-line heat treatment (using a roller hearth furnace or a bell furnace, etc.) to alleviate the influence.
  • thermal insulation using thermal insulation walls or thermal insulation pits, etc
  • off-line heat treatment using a roller hearth furnace or a bell furnace, etc.
  • the original process flow is: heating - rolling - laminar cooling - coiling - off-line heat treatment (in a thermal insulation pit or a heat treatment furnace, etc.).
  • Chinese Patent Application CN201210338335 discloses a "carrier roller-tray type metal strip coil transport device", wherein a transport chain tray is used to roll up and transport a steel coil after coiling.
  • This device comprises a fixed saddle just for transporting a steel coil. It cannot perform on-line thermal insulation of the steel coil during transportation.
  • Chinese Patent Application CN201710853613.3 discloses an "on-line thermal insulation slow cooling device" which only has thermal insulation effect. Due to incomplete sealing of its bottom structure, the thermal insulation effect is not good for steel coils.
  • Japanese Patent Publication JP2010094710 discloses a "tunnel-type thermal insulation enclosure", wherein special thermal insulation pits and the like are added to the production line, which generally results in high cost. Moreover, it takes a long period of time to retrofit the production line, and thus normal production will be affected.
  • Korean Patent KR1589913 (B1 ) discloses a "mobile tunnel thermal insulation enclosure". Although movement and thermal insulation are achieved at the same time, the overall mobile equipment is contained in a thermal insulation chamber, and thus the service life of the equipment is shortened. Independent thermal insulation of individual objects and a perfect combination of a thermal insulation enclosure with a transport line cannot be achieved.
  • Chinese Patent CN101413051B discloses a "deep processing system for hot-rolled strip steel", wherein a thermal insulation tunnel structure is used, but the overall mobile equipment is contained in a thermal insulation chamber, and thus the service life of the equipment is shortened.
  • An object of the present disclosure is to provide a hot-rolling on-line movable thermal insulation heat treatment process and a heat treatment line, wherein the coiling process temperature for a hot coil is effectively exploited to efficiently perform thermal insulation heat treatment on the hot coil at the earliest time.
  • the thermally insulated hot coil moves on-line along with a thermal insulation device to ensure meeting differentiated heat treatment process requirements.

  • the bearing pedestal 943 is provided on one side of the support body 221 by using a fixing plate 944, wherein one side of the fixing plate 945 is provided with a through hole 9451 for the rack 941 to pass through, and a roller 946 abutted against a top surface of the rack 941 is provided at an outer side of the fixing plate 945 above the through hole 945.
  • the sealing member 93 has a composite layered structure, wherein an intermediate part of the structure is an insulating material, and two sides of the intermediate part are cladded with a high temperature resistant steel plate.
  • the sealing member 93 is a right angle plate structure.
  • a positioning sleeve 12 is provided on a lower part of a side of the thermal insulation enclosure 4.
  • a positioning pin 13 matching the positioning sleeve 12 is provided on the tray 3 for the thermal insulation enclosure.
  • the positioning pin 13 is preferably a cone-shaped body.
  • the thermal insulation enclosure 4 is provided with a ventilation hole and a corresponding exhaust valve 41.
  • the thermal insulation enclosure 4 has a composite structure, comprising: an outer protection layer, which is a high-strength steel plate; an intermediate layer, which is a thermal insulation material; and an inner layer, which is a high temperature resistant stainless steel plate.
  • the thermal insulation enclosure 4 is a composite structure, comprising an inner radiation layer 42, an electric heating wire layer 43, an intermediate mesh cover 44, an intermediate thermal insulation layer 45, and an outer protection layer 46 in order from inside to outside.
  • the composite structure of the thermal insulation enclosure is fixed with an anchor nail 47.
  • the thermal insulation enclosure 4 is a square thermal insulation enclosure or a circular thermal insulation enclosure.
  • the electric heating device 5 is an electric heating wire
  • the temperature sensor 6 is a thermocouple sensor
  • the thermal insulation treatment of a strip steel coil after coiling also fulfils the purpose of annealing treatment by making use of the residual heat in the steel coil that has just been coiled, which greatly addresses the challenges of insufficient performance improvement caused by the excessively long time from coiling to entry of the steel coil to the slow cooling device, and large performance fluctuation of the strip steel in the length and width directions.
  • a special batch of hot-rolled strip steel may need to be subjected to special treatment such as in-depth processing.
  • the heating device and protective cooling gas input system provided in the thermal insulation enclosure can cooperate to achieve temperature control under necessary conditions.
