Abstract

A method for arranging jet cleaning nozzles comprising: arranging multiple rows of nozzles in a parallel and uniform manner along a lengthwise direction of a metal plate strip; arranging the nozzles in each row at an equal interval; arraying adjacent rows of nozzles in a staggered manner along the widthwise direction of the metal plate strip so as to form a nozzle matrix; wherein each nozzle is perpendicular to a moving direction of the metal plate strip, and the perpendicular distance of each nozzle to a surface of the metal plate strip is the same. Through the method for arranging jet cleaning nozzles, nozzles can be flexibly controlled based on the change of the geometric relationship between nozzles, in order to implement efficient and continuous descaling on the surfaces of a metal plate strip with different width specifications and different requirements on the descaling speed. In this way, waste of energy and water resources occurred when changing specifications is avoided, and the phenomenon that upper and lower nozzles spray to each other is also avoided, thereby achieving flexible and efficient control over the arrangement mode of jet cleaning nozzles for descaling.

arranging multiple rows of the jet cleaning nozzles in parallel along a lengthwise direction of a metal plate strip;
arranging the jet cleaning nozzles in each of the multiple rows of the jet cleaning nozzles at an equal interval;
arraying two adjacent rows of the multiple rows of the jet cleaning nozzles in a staggered manner along a widthwise direction of the metal plate strip so as to form a nozzle matrix,
wherein each of the jet cleaning nozzles is perpendicular to a moving direction of the metal plate strip, and a perpendicular distance of each jet cleaning nozzle to a surface of the metal plate strip is the same,

6. The method for arranging jet cleaning nozzles according to claim 1 , wherein the jet cleaning nozzles in each row are arranged parallel in more than one or more columns along the lengthwise direction of the metal plate strip, so as to form longitudinal nozzle columns which can he adjusted respectively.

7. The method for arranging jet cleaning nozzles according to ally on of claim 1 , wherein a jet flow divergence angle of each jet cleaning nozzle is: 0<α<45′.

8. The method for arranging jet cleaning nozzles according to claim 1 , wherein an axis of the jet cleaning nozzle is in a plane which is parallel to the moving direction of the metal plate strip and vertical to the surface of the metal plate strip; and an angle β is between the axis of the jet cleaning nozzle and a vertical line of the metal plate strip, of which the value range is 0<β<50°.

9. The method for arranging jet cleaning nozzles according to claim 1 , wherein two different kinds of mediums pass through the jet cleaning nozzles simultaneously, a first medium is liquid water, and a second medium is hard particles.
