Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of isothermal quenching ductile iron, and in particular to an isothermal salt bath for the production of isothermal quenching ductile iron materials. Background Technology

[0002] Isothermal hardened ductile iron, abbreviated as ADI, is cast ductile iron of a certain composition that has undergone isothermal hardening heat treatment. The resulting microstructure consists of high-carbon austenite and acicular ferrite, giving it comprehensive properties close to those of steel. Its excellent performance is further enhanced by the fact that ductile iron has a carbon equivalent close to its eutectic point, resulting in better fluidity and casting properties than steel. After heat treatment, ADI exhibits significantly improved strength, plasticity, and toughness at room temperature, while also possessing excellent wear resistance, vibration damping, and abrasion resistance. Isothermal hardening requires the use of an isothermal salt bath to treat the ductile iron.

An opening is provided at the top of the salt bath for placing the quenched part.

[0057] The annular return pipe assembly of this invention includes an annular return pipe 4 and a first connector. The annular return pipe 4 is connected to the cooling tank outlet pipe 2. The annular return pipe 4 is disposed in the upper part of the salt tank body 1 through the first connector, and is located above the solution in the salt tank body 1. Multiple flow holes 5 are provided on the inner side wall of the annular return pipe 4. During quenching, this application circulates and cools the nitrate solution through the inlet and outlet pipes, while the stirring rod agitates the nitrate solution to make the overall temperature more uniform.

[0058] The stirring mechanism of this invention includes a first motor 72, a gear ring 7, a chute, a stirring rod 71, and a bracket. The chute is circumferentially fixed to the top of the salt pond body 1 by the bracket, and a cover plate is provided on the top of the chute. The cover plate has a first connection port. A second connection port is provided circumferentially on the inner side wall of the chute. The gear ring 7 is rotatably disposed in the chute.

The output shaft of the first motor 72 is provided with a first drive gear 73, which extends into the first connection port and meshes with the gear ring 7.

[0059] One end of the stirring rod 71 is provided with a second connector, which extends horizontally into the second connection port and is fixedly connected to the gear ring 7. The other end of the stirring rod 71 extends downward into the salt pool body 1.

[0060] The embodiments of the present invention also include a second motor and a transmission assembly, wherein the second motor 81 is mounted on the top of the salt pool body 1 via a second motor bracket and is located below the slide groove, and a second drive gear 82 is mounted on the output shaft of the second motor 81;

[0061] The annular liquid inlet pipe assembly includes an annular liquid inlet pipe 3 and an arc-shaped internal gear ring assembly 8. The annular liquid inlet pipe 3 is located below the annular liquid return pipe 4 and is connected to the cooling box water inlet pipe 21. Multiple flow holes 5 are provided on the inner side wall of the annular liquid inlet pipe 3.

[0062] The arc-shaped internal gear ring assembly 8 includes a base plate and an arc-shaped internal gear ring, with the arc-shaped internal gear ring disposed on the side of the base plate near the interior of the salt pool body 1; the annular liquid inlet pipe 3 is fixedly disposed on the base plate.

[0063] The transmission component is installed on the inner wall of the salt pool body 1 through the third connector. The upper part of the transmission component meshes with the second drive gear 82, and the lower part of the transmission component meshes with the arc-shaped internal gear ring.

[0064] The arc-shaped internal gear ring is driven and connected to the second motor 81 through the transmission assembly.

[0065] In this embodiment of the invention, the second motor 81 is a reversible motor. Specifically, the second motor 81 is an AC servo motor of model 60ST-M00630. The stirring rod 71 is connected to the second connecting member by bolts. The arc-shaped internal gear ring has a first position and a second position. When the arc-shaped internal gear ring rotates to the first position, the second motor 81 drives the arc-shaped internal gear ring to rotate to the second position; when the arc-shaped internal gear ring rotates to the second position, the second motor 81 drives the arc-shaped internal gear ring to rotate to the first position. During quenching, the second motor 81 drives the arc-shaped internal gear ring to rotate the annular inlet pipe 3 in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions. This method can assist the stirring rod 71 in stirring the nitrate solution in the salt pool body 1, and at the same time, it can make the nitrate solution entering the annular inlet pipe 3 more uniform.

[0066] The bottom plate of the annular inlet pipe assembly of this embodiment of the invention has an arc-shaped groove 89; the third connector is fixed to the inner wall of the salt pool body 1; the assembly includes an intermediate rod 86, which includes an outer rod 861, an inner rod 862, and a bearing.

[0068] The inner rod 862 is located inside the outer rod 861 and is keyed to the outer rod 861. A pull block 87 is provided at the top of the inner rod 862. The lower part of the inner rod 862 extends downward and passes through the arc-shaped groove 89. A second gear 83 is provided at the lower part of the inner rod 862. The second gear 83 meshes with the arc-shaped internal gear ring. A stop block 88 is also provided at the bottom of the inner rod 862. The cross-sectional dimension of the stop block 88 is larger than the cross-sectional dimension of the arc-shaped groove 89. The bearing is sleeved on the outer rod 861, and the outer rod 861 is rotatably connected to the third connecting member through the bearing.

[0069] The transmission assembly of this invention has a retracted form. In the retracted form, the inner rod 862 can be driven upward by the pull block 87, thereby moving the annular inlet pipe 3 above the solution. At this time, the flat key 863 and the outer rod 861 separate. Then, the inner rod 862 is rotated so that the lower end of the flat key 863 abuts against the upper end of the outer rod 861, fixing the height position of the inner rod 862 and the annular inlet pipe 3. This application can achieve the adjustment of the height position of the annular inlet pipe 3 through the transmission assembly.

[0070] In this embodiment of the invention, the side wall of the salt pool body 1 is provided with a vertical sliding groove 62 and a sealing plate. The vertical sliding groove 62 is arranged vertically within the side wall of the salt pool body 1, and is located on the side adjacent to the inner side wall of the salt pool body 1. The sealing plate 63 is slidably connected to the vertical sliding groove 62 in the vertical direction. A pipe connecting cavity 6 is provided between the sealing plate 63 and the outer side wall of the salt pool body 1. The pipe connecting cavity 6 is isolated from the solution in the salt pool body 1 by the sealing plate 63. The cooling tank inlet pipe 21 extends into the pipe connecting cavity 6 and extends vertically downward, then extends horizontally out of the sealing plate 63 and connects with the annular liquid inlet pipe 3. The vertical pipe section of the cooling tank inlet pipe 21 in the pipe connecting cavity 6 is a corrugated pipe. By setting the vertical pipe section in the pipe connecting cavity 6 as a corrugated pipe, this application can raise the annular liquid inlet pipe 3 above the condensed nitrate solution in the salt pool body 1 after the experiment, avoiding the annular liquid inlet pipe 3 from solidifying in the nitrate solution.

[0071] In this embodiment of the invention, a movable groove 9 is provided on the side of the annular liquid inlet pipe 3 facing the cooling tank water inlet pipe 21, wherein the movable groove 9 is opened in the horizontal direction;

[0072] An arc-shaped inner lining baffle 91 is provided inside the annular inlet pipe 3. The arc-shaped inner lining baffle 91 is in contact with the inner wall of the annular inlet pipe 3 on the side where the movable groove 9 is provided. The arc-shaped inner lining baffle 91 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the annular return pipe 4, and the cross section of the arc-shaped inner lining baffle 91 is semi-circular.

[0073] The cooling tank inlet pipe 21 passes through the arc-shaped inner liner baffle 91 and is connected to the annular liquid inlet pipe 3. The cooling tank inlet pipe 21 is fixedly mounted on the inner liner baffle 91. By setting the arc-shaped inner liner baffle 91, this application enables the arc-shaped inner liner baffle 91 to rotate relative to the annular liquid inlet pipe 3 when the annular liquid inlet pipe 3 reciprocates, while maintaining contact with the edge of the movable groove 9, thus sealing the movable groove 9 and preventing nitrate solution from entering the annular liquid inlet pipe 3 through the movable groove 9.

[0074] In this embodiment of the invention, a reinforcing ring 92 is provided on the cooling tank inlet pipe 21. The reinforcing ring 92 is arranged along the radial direction of the annular inlet pipe 3 and is slidably connected to the outer wall of the annular inlet pipe 3. The design of the reinforcing ring 92 in this application can improve the stability of the annular inlet pipe 3 when it rotates.

[0075] The operation process of this invention is as follows:

[0076] During quenching, the spheroidal cast iron is placed inside the salt pool body. Then, the first motor 72, the second motor 81, and the water pump 23 are turned on. The first motor 72 drives the stirring rod 71 to rotate and stir the solution. At the same time, the solution enters the annular inlet pipe 3 and the cooling tank 22 through the flow hole under the action of the water pump 23 for cooling and cooling. Finally, it is discharged through the annular return pipe 4 and re-enters the salt pool body 1. Meanwhile, the reciprocating rotation of the annular inlet pipe 3 can make the solution in the salt pool body 1 evenly discharged for cooling and circulation. After the reaction is completed, the first motor 72 and the water pump 23 are turned off. The inner rod 862 is moved upward by the pull block 87 until the annular inlet pipe 3 is moved above the solution. At this time, the flat key 863 and the outer rod 861 are separated. Then, the inner rod 862 is rotated so that the lower end of the flat key 863 and the upper end of the outer rod 861 abut against each other, fixing the inner rod 862 and thus fixing the annular inlet pipe 3 to prevent the annular inlet pipe 3 from solidifying in the nitrate solution. Then, the water pump 23 is restarted to discharge the solution remaining in the annular inlet pipe 3 and the annular return pipe 4, reducing the phenomenon of solution solidifying in the pipes when not in use, so that it can be used next time.

[0077] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is impossible to exhaustively list all embodiments here. All obvious variations or modifications derived from the technical solutions of the present invention are still within the protection scope of the present invention.
