Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of induction quenching, in particular to a machine tool for surface induction quenching. Background Art

[0002] Quenching refers to a strengthening process for metals. The specific method is to put the heated metal into cold water or special oil for rapid cooling, which can improve the hardness, strength and wear resistance of metal parts. Induction quenching uses electromagnetic induction to generate eddy currents in the workpiece for heating. Usually, there is no need to keep warm after induction quenching heating, and it is directly cooled. In factories, there are many induction quenching work on shafts, especially spline shafts. The spline is the connection between the shaft and other transmission parts. Therefore, in order to increase the strength of the spline, induction quenching is an indispensable step. At present, the induction quenching process adopts a manual method. The personnel fix the workpiece on the fixture. After induction quenching heating, the personnel transfer the workpiece to the cooling device for cooling treatment. There are some problems with this method. On the one hand, high-temperature residues may pop out during the transfer process, which is prone to danger. On the other hand, manual transfer is inefficient and slow, which affects the quality of induction quenching.
