Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of workpiece processing, and in particular to a medium-frequency induction through-type tempering device for directional arrangement of workpieces. Background Art

[0002] Tempering is a metal heat treatment process that reheats the quenched workpiece to an appropriate temperature below the lower critical temperature Ac1 (the starting temperature of pearlite to austenite transformation during heating), keeps it warm for a period of time, and then cools it in air, water, oil or other media. Or the quenched alloy workpiece is heated to an appropriate temperature, kept warm for a certain period of time, and then slowly or quickly cooled. It is generally used to reduce or eliminate the internal stress in the quenched steel parts, or reduce its hardness and strength to improve its ductility or toughness. The quenched workpiece should be tempered in time. Only through the combination of quenching and tempering can the required mechanical properties be obtained.

[0003] At present, we usually use two methods in tempering equipment, induction tempering, mesh belt tempering furnace or various traditional tempering furnaces. In induction tempering equipment, for asymmetrical workpieces, we rotate the workpiece to reduce the impact of the shape on the heat treatment, but the production cycle is long, which seriously restricts productivity; in traditional tempering furnaces or mesh belt tempering equipment, although the amount of tempering is large at one time and there is no cycle problem, the consistency of the placement direction cannot be guaranteed, so the quality after tempering cannot be guaranteed. Today's workpieces (such as automobile hub shafts) have very fast production cycle requirements, and the tempering quality of all workpieces needs to be consistent, so some traditional methods can no longer meet production and process requirements. Summary of the invention

[0009] Through the above technical solution, it is possible to capture and set two specific adjacent points to ensure that the workpiece stops after turning to the same position each time, thereby ensuring the consistency of the direction of the workpiece each time it stops.

[0011] Through the above technical solution, the workpiece can be clamped and taken out from the laser positioning mechanism and transported to the positioning sleeve on the tempering flat chain to ensure the accuracy of the tempering position.

[0012] As a further improvement of the above scheme, the sliding mechanism includes a flat chain arranged on the upper side of the tempering platform, a plurality of positioning sleeves for placing workpieces are arranged on the upper side of the flat chain, and a servo drive mechanism for driving the flat chain to rotate is arranged at one end of the tempering platform.

[0013] Through the above technical solution, the workpieces can pass through the tempering induction coil in sequence, so that the tempering is fully uniform.

[0014] As a further improvement of the above solution, the servo drive mechanism includes a servo motor fixedly connected to one end of the tempering platform, and the output end of the servo motor drives the flat chain to rotate through a synchronous belt and a synchronous pulley.

[0015] Through the above technical solution, the workpiece can be stably passed through the tempering coil, so that the tempering of different workpieces is consistent.

[0016] As a further improvement of the above scheme, the induction tempering mechanism includes a tempering induction coil arranged on the upper side of the tempering platform and located on both sides of the sliding mechanism, the height of the tempering induction coil is adjusted, and a plurality of first guide rods and a plurality of second guide rods are arranged on the upper side of the tempering platform, and the plurality of first guide rods and the second guide rods are respectively arranged on both sides of the sliding mechanism, and the lower sides of the plurality of first guide rods and the second guide rods are fixedly connected with vertical rods, and the bottoms of the plurality of vertical rods are provided with a base located on the upper side of the tempering platform.

[0017] Through the above technical solution, the workpiece can be tempered quickly to ensure that the tempering degree of each workpiece is consistent.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] 1. Through the laser positioning mechanism, the workpiece is driven by a rotating motor. During the rotation process, the first laser probe, the second laser probe and the shooting switch can capture and set specific adjacent two points to ensure that each time it rotates to the same position and then stops, thereby ensuring the consistency of the direction of the workpiece after each stop. The workpiece is then clamped out of the laser positioning mechanism by the first and second robotic arms and transported to the positioning sleeve on the tempering flat chain. The action is repeated, and the flat chain is set to a stepping movement mode through the servo reducer drive, so that the workpiece forms a directional arrangement, and then is tempered one by one through the medium-frequency tempering induction coil and discharged in an orderly manner, achieving the effect of stable tempering performance.

[0022] 2. By adjusting the height of the tempering induction coil, workpieces of different sizes can be subjected to induction tempering, making the tempering adaptation effect better to meet the tempering process requirements. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
