Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of vacuum carburizing, in particular to a frequency conversion speed regulating device and a speed regulating method for the vacuum carburizing process. Background technique [0002] The vacuum carburizing process is a pulsed process, that is, a process that alternates between the strong infiltration pulse stage and the diffusion stage. Fill the quenching furnace with carburizing agent in the strong infiltration stage, stop feeding the carburizing agent in the diffusion stage, and pump out the residual gas with low carbon atom content in the quenching furnace through the vacuum pump system to make the furnace reach the working vacuum degree. When the next pulse comes, fill in new carburizing agent for uniform carburizing. [0003] Existing vacuum carburizing and quenching furnaces are generally equipped with stirring fans, the purpose of which is to generate convection in the furnace and even the atmosphere...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, the existing fan installed in the furnace does not have the function of speed regulation. The temperature control mode of the workpiece is controlled by the temperature signal measured by the thermocouple in the work area. The problem with this temperature control method is that the thermocouple is inserted. The position and the flow change of the gas in the furnace have a great influence on the measured temperature signal and the composition of the atmosphere, resulting in fluctuations, inaccuracies and hysteresis of the surface temperature and atmosphere of the workpiece, which seriously affects the carburization (nitriding) of the workpiece surface. Homogeneous and carburized layer depth

In addition, this control method is limited due to the fan speed adjustment, and the temperature of each part in the furnace and the inhomogeneity of the atmosphere flow cannot be accurately controlled by the fan speed, resulting in the surface of the workpiece in the process of carburizing or carbonitriding. Inhomogeneity of carbon, uniformity of carburized layer and carburized carbon black, etc.
