Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of nonferrous metal processing, and more specifically, to a tool capable of allowing aluminum alloy pipes to be vertically immersed in water for quenching. Background Art
[0002] At present, the solution heat treatment stage of thin-walled profiles mostly chooses the travel furnace quenching method to meet the performance and size requirements of the profiles. The thin-walled profiles are quickly quenched in water after being taken out of the travel furnace, which is simple, efficient and convenient.
[0003] However, in actual use, this method still has some shortcomings. For example, thin-walled profiles must be manually removed from the travel furnace using clamps and placed in the water. This process cannot ensure the vertical entry of the profiles, which is affected by the water circulation. This causes the thin-walled profiles to deform after cooling in the water, making them unable to meet the production requirements of the next process. The dimensions after quenching cannot be guaranteed, and the yield rate is extremely low. This leads to a high level of internal scrap and a low yield rate, making it difficult to meet the large number of customer orders.
[0004] Therefore, in view of this, the inventor, based on his many years of rich experience in design, development and actual production in the relevant industry, has researched and improved the existing structure and defects, and provided a tooling that allows aluminum alloy pipes to be quenched vertically in water, in order to achieve a more practical purpose.

When the thin-walled profile enters the water vertically through the feed port, its thin wall is not affected by the water circulation and falls vertically into the water tank, which can complete the quenching process in the water tank more quickly, more evenly and more stably, so that the size is naturally stable, the thin wall will not be deformed arbitrarily due to the resistance of the water circulation, and naturally meets the production requirements of the next process. The vertical quenching tool can be used to make a quenching tool, which can greatly improve the quenching yield of the profile and meet the company's order delivery. At the same time, the quenching tool can be made according to the opening size of the quenching cooling water tank of the traveling furnace and the outer contour shape and size of the thin-walled profile and fixed above the water tank opening.

[0030] The side surfaces of the first cross bar 1 and the second cross bar 2 are jointly and detachably mounted with a limiting side plate 13 .
[0031] The side of the limiting side plate 13 is provided with a fixing slot 14, and a square side plate 15 is integrally formed on the surface of the limiting side plate 13 and located on one side of the fixing slot 14. A pair of fixing blocks 16 are inlaid and installed on the surface of the limiting side plate 13, and an adaptor turn 17 is provided on the surface of a pair of the fixing blocks 16.

The fixed shaft 19 can make a circular motion around the inside of the fixed block 16, and the other end of the fixed shaft 19 extends to the inside of another fixed block 16 and is rotatably fitted therewith.
[0032] For details, please refer to the attached manual Figure 3-7 A threaded notch 27 is provided inside the threaded sleeve 26, and a rubber gasket 28 is fixed to the bottom end of the threaded sleeve 26. The threaded sleeve 26 is located directly above the connecting base plate 18, and the length of the threaded column 25 ranges from five centimeters to three centimeters.
[0033] The specific implementation method is as follows: the threaded sleeve 26 is located just above the connecting base plate 18, so that after the rotating plate 21 completes its rotation, the threaded sleeve 26 is rotated to gradually rotate downward along the surface of the threaded column 25, so that its bottom end is attached to the top of the connecting base plate 18, thereby completing the fixation of the fixed rotating shaft 19, further ensuring the fixation of the fixed sleeve 20 on the side of the fixed rotating shaft 19 and the rotating plate 21 and the clamping side plate 22.
[0034] For details, please refer to the attached manual Figure 4-6 The limiting angle plate 12 and the guide side plate 6 are vertically arranged, and the angle between the limiting angle plate 12 and the guide side plate 6 is ninety degrees. There are two guide side plates 6, and the two guide side plates 6 are respectively located on the left and right sides of the first cross bar 1. The bottom end of the fixed cylinder 11 extends to the inside of the mounting hole 4, and the overall feed port 5 is in the shape of a rectangular through hole.
[0035] The specific implementation method is to maintain cooling water circulation within the water tank to meet the required water temperature for quenching. When the thin-walled profile enters the water vertically through the feed port 5, its thin wall is not affected by the water circulation and falls vertically into the water tank. The quenching process in the water tank is completed more quickly, evenly, and stably. As a result, the dimensions are naturally stable and the thin wall is not deformed by the resistance of the water circulation, naturally meeting the production requirements of the next process. This greatly improves the quenching yield of the profile and meets the company's order delivery requirements.

Then, the guide side plate 6 as a whole and the roller 9 at its top are used to roll and fit the side of the workpiece to make its guiding accuracy higher, avoid the problem of tilted angle contact between the workpiece and the feed port 5 before entering the water, and further improve the smoothness of the movement of the workpiece during quenching. Subsequently, the fixed shaft 19 can be rotated to drive the fixed sleeve plate 20 and the rotating plate 21 and the clamping side plate 22 on one side to rotate, and finally the flexible contact 23 on the side of the clamping side plate 22 is pressed against the surface of the quenching tank. At this time, the linkage cylinder 24 It is kept perpendicular to the connecting base plate 18 and is located above the connecting base plate 18. At this time, the threaded sleeve 26 is located directly above the connecting base plate 18, so that after the rotation of the rotating plate 21 is completed, the threaded sleeve 26 is rotated to gradually rotate downward along the surface of the threaded column 25, so that its bottom end is fitted to the top of the connecting base plate 18, thereby completing the fixation of the fixed rotating shaft 19, further ensuring the fixation of the fixed sleeve 20 on the side of the fixed rotating shaft 19 and the rotating plate 21 and the clamping side plate 22, thereby clamping and fixing the first cross bar 1 and the second cross bar 2 to the top of the quenching tank, further ensuring the stability of its overall structure during the quenching process, and finally the device completes the quenching of the workpiece.
[0039] Step 3: First, the operator shuts down the device normally, then checks whether the fixation between the various components of the device is normal, and then replaces and repairs the aging and severely worn parts inside the device.
