Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] The following is combined with Figure 1 To the attached Figure 7 And specific embodiments, the utility model is discussed in detail:

[0033] A medium frequency induction heating device, the structure of which is as follows Figures 1 to 3 As shown, including:

[0034] Medium frequency power supply 1 is an induction heating power supply controlled by a high-speed DSP chip;

[0035] An output transformer connected to the intermediate frequency power supply 1;

[0036] Cantilever crane 2;

[0038] an induction heating coil connected to the output transformer, and the induction heating coil is installed on the cantilever crane 2;

[0039] The far-infrared temperature measurement system is integrated with the induction heating coil and is installed on a cantilever crane. The cantilever crane can move the entire heating device. When in use, the heating device can be directly adjusted to the position where the rail needs to be heated using remote control, which is convenient and labor-saving.

[0040] The temperature system monitors the rail temperature in real time. When the heating temperature reaches the equipment temperature, the far-infrared temperature measurement system feeds back a signal to the intermediate frequency power supply, forming a closed-loop control with the intermediate frequency power supply to keep the rail in a heat-insulating and uniform temperature state. When the set time is reached, the intermediate frequency power supply stops heating.

[0041] The specific parameters of the medium frequency power supply 1 are shown in Table 1. It can be seen from Table 1 that the frequency tracking range of the power supply can be adaptively adjusted from 0.2 kHz to 50 kHz without changing the hardware circuit. The IGBT zero-crossing switching can be guaranteed in any frequency band and the power grid fluctuation range of -20% to +10% can be adapted. The output operating value is not affected by the power grid voltage fluctuation.

[0048]

[0049] In this embodiment, the rail top bending is performed by a hydraulic press at a fixed position, so the medium frequency induction heating device is installed near the hydraulic press.

[0050] Furthermore, the induction heating coil includes a coil portion 5, the structure of which is shown in Figures 4 to 7. The coil portion is composed of a plurality of conductor tubes, each of which is formed of a metal conductor and is wound along a U-shaped track into a cap-shaped structure.

[0051] Furthermore, the cap shape is a non-closed structure. The coil portion 5 has three planes in total. An opening is provided at the lower end of the coil portion 5. The workpiece enters the inner side of the induction heating coil from the lower end opening. The three planes are parallel to the surface of the workpiece. The workpiece enters the inner side of the induction heating coil from the lower end opening. The induction heating coil as a whole adopts a cap-shaped design that matches the shape of the workpiece. The induction heating coil can heat the heating position of the workpiece from three sides.

[0052] Furthermore, the area between the multi-layered conductive tubes is divided into a plurality of blocks, and sensors for measuring the heating state of the heated object are provided.

[0053] Furthermore, the cross section of the conductor tube is elliptical.

[0054] Furthermore, the surface of the conductor tube is coated with an insulating layer.

[0055] The utility model is a medium frequency induction heating device, and its working process is as follows:

[0056] Startup and Connection: The medium-frequency power supply (controlled by a high-speed DSP chip) is powered on and connected to the output transformer, providing power to the entire heating system. The heating device on the cantilever crane (including the induction heating coil and far-infrared temperature measurement system) is ready and awaiting operational instructions. The industrial constant-temperature chiller is connected to the medium-frequency power supply, output transformer, and induction heating coil to ensure system cooling.

[0057] Heating Operation: The operator uses a remote control to move the heating device to the rail location where heating is required. The induction heating coil receives electrical energy through the output transformer, generating an alternating magnetic field that induces eddy currents in the rail, achieving heating. A far-infrared temperature measurement system monitors rail temperature in real time and feeds this data back to the medium-frequency power supply.

[0058] Temperature Control: When the rail temperature reaches the set value, the far-infrared temperature measurement system sends a signal to the IF power supply, forming a closed-loop control system. The IF power supply adjusts its output power based on the feedback signal to keep the rail warm and at a constant temperature. The IF power supply stops heating after the set heating time has expired.

[0059] Cooling and Ending: The industrial constant temperature chiller continues to operate to ensure the cooling of the medium frequency power supply, output transformer and induction heating coil. After heating is completed, the cantilever crane moves the heating device back to its original position to prepare for the next heating operation.

[0060] The utility model provides a medium frequency induction heating device, which has the following advantages:

[0061] This innovative medium-frequency induction heating method offers high heating efficiency and can quickly heat rails to the desired temperature. Compared to traditional diffusion heating methods, medium-frequency induction heating heats rails more directly and evenly. Furthermore, the rational design of key components, such as the heat source and induction heating coils, ensures a long service life and reduces maintenance costs.

[0062] The heating unit is mounted on a cantilever crane, allowing for convenient and labor-saving adjustment of the heating position via remote control. A far-infrared temperature measurement system and a medium-frequency power supply form a closed-loop control loop, automating and intelligentizing the heating process. Furthermore, the heating coil features an open, flat, cap-shaped design that matches the rail shape, ensuring uniform heating and minimizing damage. An industrial constant-temperature chiller ensures system cooling, preventing damage from overheating.

[0063] The whole process is automatically controlled, eliminating the uncontrollable factors of manual operation, ensuring that the temperature meets the process requirements and reducing the scrap rate. In summary, this medium-frequency induction heating device has significant advantages and broad application prospects in the field of railway track technology.

[0064] The above further describes the present invention with the help of specific embodiments, but it should be understood that the specific description here should not be construed as limiting the essence and scope of the present invention. Various modifications made to the above embodiments by ordinary technicians in this field after reading this specification are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.
