[0035] 1. The system of the present application no longer uses time or rhythm for production, but is realized through signal transmission between the heating device and the transfer device. Specifically, the temperature of the heating device is detected by a temperature detector, and the obtained temperature is used as a basis for feedback to the heat treatment controller for judgment, so that the heating method is adjusted by the heat treatment controller, so that the heating element can be heated in different ways and the temperature change can be better regulated.

When the actual temperature reaches the lower limit value, it means that the heating process The first heating rate stage is over, and the second heating rate is used for heating. The workpiece continues to slowly follow the heating device 110 to heat up until the temperature of the workpiece reaches the preheating temperature, and then the heating device 110 is turned on to proceed to the next process. Since the above-mentioned temperature detection and triggering temperature control adjustment method are added on the basis of the original time or beat heat treatment process, various process heating parameters are controlled and adjustable, ensuring that the heating temperature reaches the predetermined temperature, ensuring that the temperature of the second stage of the heating process can be maintained for a sufficient time requirement, realizing effective heat treatment temperature control, improving temperature reliability, and being able to more accurately control the workpiece temperature to meet the process requirements of heat treatment, thereby improving the workpiece processing quality.

After the above three heating processes, the entire heat treatment process of the workpiece can be divided into three sequential processes, which can eliminate human factors, avoid the uncertainty of manual operation, make various test parameters controllable and adjustable, improve the reliability of test data, and cooperate with each other to ensure that the heat treatment of the workpiece meets production requirements.

[0049] The present application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0050] Please refer to Figure 1In a first aspect of the present application, a heat treatment system 100 is provided, which includes a quenching device 120, a heating device 110, a transfer device 130 and a heat treatment controller. The quenching device 120 is used to quench the heated workpiece. The quenching device 120 uses a quenching tank, a quenching pool or other existing equipment that can be used for quenching. The quenching tank is such as a water tank or an oil tank. The quenching tank is a rectangular parallelepiped structure with a trough shape as a whole. The quenching tank is provided with a temperature sensor, a stirring shaft, and a resistance wire. For example, a temperature sensor is provided inside the quenching tank and a resistance wire is installed on the tank wall. The motor is fixed, and the stirring shaft is the output part of the stirrer, and the stirring shaft is connected to the output end of the motor, such as a key connection, so that the quenching tank can be stirred, the temperature sensor can detect the temperature in the quenching tank and feed back the temperature to the terminal display, the resistance wire is also placed in the quenching tank, the resistance wire is electrically connected to the outside, and the medium temperature in the quenching tank can be supplemented by heating through the resistance wire. The quenching tank can also adjust the liquid level. The quenching tank is connected to a pipeline for medium inlet and outlet, and the liquid level of the quenching tank is adjusted by flow adjustment or opening and closing adjustment of the inlet and outlet pipelines. The heat treatment controller may adopt a controller with a temperature control program, such as an editable controller, a CPU, etc., which is electrically connected to the temperature detector to receive the workpiece temperature feedback from the temperature detector, adjust the heating method of the heating element, and control the action of the transfer device. The heat treatment controller may be an independent controller that can independently control the heating device 110 and the transfer device 130. The heat treatment controller may also be a module built into the heating device 110. By executing the program, it can adjust the heating method of the heating device 110 and send a control signal to the transfer device 130 to enable the transfer device 130 to operate the workpiece.

[0051] The heating device 110 is used to heat the workpiece. The heating device 110 can be a heating furnace, a heating box or other heating equipment. The heating device 110 is separated from the quenching device 120. After the workpiece is heated, the workpiece needs to be taken out of the heating device 110 and then put into the quenching device 120. The heating device 110 is provided with a temperature detector and a heating element. The heating element is used to heat the workpiece. The heating element adopts a heating wire, such as a resistance wire. The heating element can be electrically connected to the outside to heat the corresponding heating chambers through the heating wire. A door is provided at the opening of the heating box. The door is connected to a lifting mechanism, such as an electric cylinder. The door can be opened and closed by the electric cylinder control. For example, the edge of the door is fixed to the output end of the electric cylinder by screws. The electric cylinder can adjust the opening and closing state of the door relative to the heating box by telescoping the output end, thereby completing the switch operation and realizing rapid door opening. The temperature detector uses a temperature sensor, and other devices capable of detecting temperature, such as an electronic thermometer, etc. The temperature detector is placed in the heating device 110. The temperature detector is used to detect the temperature of the workpiece in the heating device 110 and feed back the actual temperature data to the heat treatment controller. The heat treatment controller is a program built into the terminal that performs temperature control. It can adjust the heating method of the heating element by adjusting the current. The heat treatment controller is used to adjust the heating method of the heating element. The heating method is like an existing heating furnace or heating box, and the heating rate, heating time, heating temperature limit, etc. can be adjusted, such as making the temperature in the heating device 110 rise at a set heating rate, such as keeping the temperature in the heating device 110 within a certain range.

[0052] The transfer device 130 is used to receive the signal from the heat treatment controller, and after the detected workpiece temperature reaches the set preheating temperature, the workpiece is transferred from the heating device 110 to the quenching device 120; the transfer device 130 runs automatically, and the transfer device 130 has a built-in automatic running program. After receiving the start signal of the heating device 110, it enters the heating chamber of the heating device 110 to take out the workpiece and transfer it to the quenching device 120. The transfer device 130 can use a robot or other equipment that can perform pick-and-place operations. The robot can grab or release the workpiece. The running trajectory of the robot after grabbing the workpiece is from the heating device 110 to the quenching device 120. The transfer device 130 can realize the automated transfer operation from the low-temperature heating device 111 to the quenching device 120, from the medium-temperature heating device 112 to the quenching device 120, or from the high-temperature heating device 113 to the quenching device 120.

[0053] Please refer to Figure 2, the heat treatment systems of the prior art are mostly produced by time beat control, but after the heating process is executed according to the time, the temperature often does not reach the requirement before entering the next process, which affects the temperature control and effect of the heat treatment. However, the present application no longer uses time or beat for production, but is realized by signal transmission between the heating device 110 and the transfer device 130. Specifically, the temperature of the heating device 110 is detected by a temperature detector, and the obtained temperature is used as a basis and fed back to the heat treatment controller for judgment, so that the heating method is adjusted by the heat treatment controller, so that the heating element can be heated in different ways, and the temperature change can be better regulated. After receiving the signal, the transfer device 130 can transfer the workpiece from the heating device 110 to the quenching device 120, so that the quenching is performed only when the temperature reaches the preheating temperature, which solves the problem of entering the next process before the temperature reaches the requirement, and can achieve effective temperature control, ensure the process temperature control of the heat treatment process, and thus improve the workpiece processing quality.

[0054] In an optional embodiment, when the heat treatment controller adjusts the heating mode of the heating element, the heating device 110 maintains the set heating rate for heating and keeps the temperature within a certain temperature range. The heat treatment controller can select the heating mode according to the temperature inside the heating device 110 or the temperature of the workpiece, thereby regulating the temperature change. Specifically:

[0055] The heat treatment controller controls the heating element to enter the preheating section and starts timing. The starting point of entering the preheating section is the timing zero point. The preheating section heats the workpiece. The heating rate of the heating device 110 can be set during heating to make the workpiece temperature rise at a certain rate. Before this process, the parameters of the heating device 110 can be set, such as setting the preheating time, preheating temperature, and suppression temperature range, and then the heating device 110 is started to heat the workpiece. Then the workpiece temperature is detected, and the actual temperature T of the workpiece after reaching the set preheating time t0 is detected. i , the actual temperature T i The lower limit value T of the set suppression temperature range min Compare; if T i Less than T min , the heating element is controlled to continue heating, and the heating method at this time is that the heating device 110 heats at the first heating rate; if T i Greater than or equal to T min , the heating element is controlled to enter the heat preservation working section. The heat preservation working section is that the heating device 110 is heat-insulating in the suppression temperature range. The heating method at this time is that the heating device 110 heats at the second heating rate, heats the workpiece in the set suppression temperature range, and continues to detect the actual temperature T of the workpiece. i , when T iWhen T is equal to, the heating is stopped. In the actual process, there may be a time difference in detection. As long as T is detected at the first time, i When T is exceeded, the heating element is controlled to stop heating. The first heating rate and the second heating rate are not constant, but gradually decrease with time.

[0056] In an optional embodiment, the heating device 110 also has an input interface, or the heat treatment controller can receive terminal input data, such as inputting corresponding data through an input box on a touch screen interface, so as to set the preheating time, preheating temperature, inhibition temperature range and inhibition value. The preheating time refers to the time it takes for the heating device 110 to heat the workpiece to the preheating temperature. The heating of the workpiece by time and beat control is also regulated by the preheating time. In fact, after the workpiece temperature continues to be heated, the time to reach the set preheating temperature is as follows Figure 2 Compared with the ones with longer preheating time, the temperature-time line is in an arc-shaped bending state. When heated to a temperature close to the preheating temperature, the rate of temperature rise decreases. After setting the preheating time and preheating temperature, the initial heating rate is determined. Before the temperature rises close to the preheating temperature, the heating rate of the workpiece decreases and gradually approaches the preheating temperature. The preheating temperature is the optimal process temperature under the workpiece quality requirements. The preheating temperature can ensure that the process requirements are met. By suppressing the temperature range, the final workpiece temperature can be maintained within the range of the suppression temperature range. The suppression value is a temperature setting value to prevent the workpiece temperature from rising too quickly or even exceeding the preheating temperature. Through the suppression value, a program to suppress the temperature rise of the workpiece in advance can be added to the heat treatment controller so that the workpiece can be slowly heated to the preheating temperature.

[0057] In an optional embodiment, the inhibition temperature interval is set to [T min , T max ], set the lower limit value T of the suppression temperature range min =T-ΔT, the upper limit of the temperature range is suppressed max =T+ΔT, where ΔT is the set suppression value. In actual operation, the parameters of the heating device 110 are set first, and the suppression value, preheating time and preheating temperature are set. The suppression value is the temperature entering the heat preservation working section, which is less than and close to the preheating temperature. The suppression temperature interval is the heat preservation interval with the above lower limit as the lower limit, and the upper limit can also be determined. In an optional embodiment, the temperature of the workpiece is continuously detected by a temperature detector. When T i When it is greater than or equal to the set preheating temperature T, the heat treatment controller sends a signal to the transfer device 130, so that the transfer device 130 takes the workpiece out of the heating device 110 and transfers it to the quenching device 120. For example, a signal is sent to a robot, and the robot takes out the workpiece and places it into the quenching device 120 through a pre-set path operation.

[0058] In an optional embodiment, the heating device 110 includes a low-temperature heating device 111, a medium-temperature heating device 112, and a high-temperature heating device 113, which are used to heat the workpiece to a preheating temperature T1, a preheating temperature T2, and a preheating temperature T3, respectively. The preheating temperature T1 is less than the preheating temperature T2, and the preheating temperature T2 is less than the preheating temperature T3. The low-temperature heating device 111, the medium-temperature heating device 112, and the high-temperature heating device 113 are respectively spaced from the quenching device 120, so that there is a certain transfer space from the heating device 110 to the quenching tank; the low-temperature heating device 111, the medium-temperature heating device 112, and the high-temperature heating device 113 are respectively heated furnaces, and heating boxes can also be used, which have a heating cavity for accommodating the workpiece. For example, the low-temperature heating device 111, the medium-temperature heating device 112, and the high-temperature heating device 113 are respectively heated boxes. The workpiece can be heated at three different temperatures by means of the low-temperature heating device 111 , the medium-temperature heating device 112 and the high-temperature heating device 113 , and the heat treatment process is divided into three stages, which can strengthen the temperature control of each process stage.

[0059] In an optional embodiment, the heat treatment system 100 further includes an air cooling device 140, which is placed next to the low-temperature heating device 111, the medium-temperature heating device 112 or the high-temperature heating device 113, and is used to cool the workpiece after a certain heating process is completed. For example, the air cooling device 140 is fixed next to the quenching device 120, and the air cooling device 140 uses a fan, and other cooling devices can also be used. The fan can use a variable frequency fan, and the cooling rate of the workpiece can be adjusted continuously through the variable frequency working mode. A temperature detector, such as an electronic thermometer, is also provided at the air cooling device 140, which can detect the cooling of the workpiece, so that a cooling rate curve can be formed for analysis and research. In an optional embodiment, the heat treatment system 100 also includes a feed table, which is used to transport the workpiece, such as a conveyor belt or other devices with a conveying function, which can deliver the workpiece into the operating range of the transfer device 130, such as a manipulator that can grab the workpiece from the feed table and put it into the heating device 110.

[0060] In an optional embodiment, the heat treatment system 100 also includes a protective atmosphere device 150, which is used to provide protective gas. The protective atmosphere device 150 is connected to the low-temperature heating device 111, the medium-temperature heating device 112, the high-temperature heating device 113, the quenching device 120 and the air cooling device 140. The protective atmosphere device 150 includes a generator or gas source for providing protective gas, and a pipeline. One end of the pipeline is connected and connected to the generator or gas source, and the other end is connected and connected to the low-temperature heating device 111, the medium-temperature heating device 112 and the high-temperature heating device 113, such as being connected to the side wall of the heating box and connected to the heating chamber. The quenching device 120 is also connected and connected to the generator or gas source of protective gas, such as using a pipeline to connect the quenching tank, so that the low-temperature heating device 111, the medium-temperature heating device 112, the high-temperature heating device 113 and the quenching device 120 can be provided with protective gas and automatically replenished to ensure a protective atmosphere to meet the workpiece processing requirements. A flow regulating valve can also be set on the pipeline to adjust the flow of the protective gas.

[0061] In an optional embodiment, the quenching device 120 includes a first quenching tank 121 and a second quenching tank 122. The first quenching tank 121 is located between the low-temperature heating device 111 and the high-temperature heating device 113, and is arranged at intervals. The second quenching tank 122 is located between the medium-temperature heating device 112 and the high-temperature heating device 113, and is also arranged at intervals. The low-temperature heating device 111, the medium-temperature heating device 112 and the high-temperature heating device 113 are arranged in a triangle, and the low-temperature heating device 111 and the high-temperature heating device 113 are respectively located on both sides of the medium-temperature heating device 112; the above-mentioned first quenching tank 121 is a water tank, and the second quenching tank 122 is an oil tank. When low-temperature heating is performed, a water tank is used for quenching. When medium-temperature heating is performed, a water tank or an oil tank is used for quenching. When high-temperature heating is performed, a water tank or an oil tank is used for quenching. The air cooling device 140 can also be directly used for annealing.

[0062] In an optional embodiment, the heating range of the workpiece by the low-temperature heating device 111 is [20°C, 650°C], and the temperature uniformity of the low-temperature heating device 111 is less than or equal to ±5°C; the heating range of the workpiece by the medium-temperature heating device 112 is [400°C, 850°C], and the temperature uniformity of the medium-temperature heating device 112 is less than or equal to ±6°C; the heating range of the workpiece by the high-temperature heating device 113 is (850°C, 1400°C], and the temperature uniformity of the high-temperature heating device 113 is less than or equal to ±7°C; by setting three heating devices 110 with different temperatures, the workpiece can be heated with three different temperature gradients, and the temperature can be adjusted more accurately.

[0063] In a second aspect of the present application, a heat treatment method is provided, which uses the above-mentioned heat treatment system 100. The heat treatment method includes heating the workpiece and quenching after the heating is completed, specifically including:

[0064] The heat treatment controller controls the heating element to heat the workpiece at the first heating rate and starts timing. The zero point of timing enters the preheating working section. The temperature of the workpiece is detected by the temperature detector. The actual temperature T of the workpiece after reaching the set preheating time t0 is detected. i The actual temperature detected is fed back to the heat treatment controller, which compares the temperature. i The lower limit value T of the set suppression temperature range min Compare: If T i Less than T min , continue to heat the workpiece; if T i Greater than or equal to T min , the heat treatment controller controls the heating element to heat the workpiece at the second heating rate, and continues to detect the actual temperature T of the workpiece. i , where T is greater than T min , the first heating rate is greater than the second heating rate, and the first heating rate and the second heating rate gradually decrease over time.

[0065] When T i When it is equal to T, it is detected that the actual temperature reaches the preheating temperature and the next process can be carried out. The heat treatment controller transmits a signal to the controller of the heating device 110 or the controller of the door, and then automatically opens the door of the heating device 110. At the same time, the signal is also transmitted to the transfer device 130. The heat treatment controller controls the transfer device 130 to take out the workpiece, and then put the workpiece into the quenching device 120 for quenching. For example, the robot first extends into the heating device 110, grabs the workpiece, and then takes it out and puts it into the quenching device 120. The entire movement path is preset to ensure that the robot can operate smoothly; it can also be taken out manually and then put into the quenching device 120.

[0066] Through the above steps, the temperature of the workpiece can be precisely controlled. On the basis of the heat treatment controller heating according to the preheating time, a temperature control method is added to automatically give the heat treatment controller a temperature rise inhibition effect on the adjusted temperature. The temperature control method is executed according to the above S2, which is equivalent to adding a temperature rise inhibition adjustment function and a temperature interval inhibition window to the heat treatment controller. When the temperature in the heating device 110 reaches the lower limit of the preheating temperature interval, the heat treatment controller is executed according to the above temperature adjustment method. When the heat treatment controller runs to the judgment of the actual temperature, it mainly considers whether the actual temperature reaches the preheating temperature. If the trigger condition is not reached, no signal is sent to the transfer device 130. In this way, the heating device 110 and the transfer device 130 are precisely matched to avoid errors. If steps S1-S3 are used to perform high-temperature sintering on a solid electrolyte, the heating process flow is: heating to 1200°C at 3°C / min, keeping warm for 16h, and then cooling to 150°C.

[0067] Please refer to Figure 2 , since the heat treatment system 100 of the prior art has begun to use automated heat treatment, the process is automatically carried out, first heating, then keeping warm and finally cooling down. Generally, the automatic program is triggered to start by time or beat. As shown in the figure, a is the temperature control diagram of the temperature set by the program over time, and d is the theoretical temperature holding time interval. The problem with such control is that when it is necessary to control the heating or cooling stage, if time is used for control, the time needs to be estimated, and it cannot be accurately controlled. When the process is completed, the temperature does not meet the requirements. If the furnace temperature does not reach the set temperature value within the specified time, the heating furnace will continue to heat the workpiece in the next process stage, and the time required for the next process stage will be shortened accordingly, and the actual set holding time will not be reached. In this way, under the automatic program, the temperature will not meet the process requirements and the next process will be triggered by mistake.

[0068] Please refer to Figure 3 , b is the actual temperature of the workpiece in the heating device 110 that changes with time, c is the time point when the workpiece enters the temperature maintenance, and in this application it is also the intersection point when the actual temperature reaches the preheating temperature-suppression value, d is the suppression temperature interval, e is the theoretical temperature maintenance time interval, f is the actual time interval of the workpiece temperature maintenance in this application, time 1 is the preheating time, and time 2 is the time when the workpiece needs to be taken out to enter the next process. The present application determines the heating process of the workpiece by setting the preheating time, and determines the final temperature of the workpiece by setting the preheating temperature, and then determines the lower limit value by setting the suppression temperature interval to ensure the basis for judging the execution of the process. By comparing the actual temperature detected with the lower limit value of the suppression temperature interval, the heating method of the workpiece can be adjusted. First, heating is performed at the first heating rate. When the actual temperature does not reach the lower limit value, it means that the first stage of the heating process has not reached the required heating temperature according to time or beat, and then the workpiece continues to be heated to ensure that the temperature can be raised to close to the preheating temperature. When the actual temperature reaches the lower limit value, it means that the first heating process The heating rate stage is over, and the second heating rate is used for heating. The workpiece continues to slowly follow the heating device 110 to heat up until the temperature of the workpiece reaches the preheating temperature, and then the heating device 110 is turned on to proceed to the next process. Since the above-mentioned temperature detection and triggering temperature control adjustment method are added on the basis of the original time or beat heat treatment process, various process heating parameters are controlled and adjustable, ensuring that the heating temperature reaches the predetermined temperature, ensuring that the temperature of the second stage of the heating process can be maintained for a sufficient time requirement, realizing effective heat treatment temperature control, improving temperature reliability, and being able to more accurately control the workpiece temperature to meet the process requirements of heat treatment, thereby improving the workpiece processing quality.

[0069] In an optional embodiment, when the temperature of the workpiece is detected by a temperature detector, the detection can be performed periodically or in real time. The temperature of the workpiece can also be detected in real time after the preheating time is reached. The temperature detector feeds back the actual temperature to the heat treatment controller, and the heat treatment controller works to compare the actual temperature with the preheating temperature, specifically, the actual temperature is compared with the lower limit value of the suppression temperature interval. When the actual temperature reaches the lower limit value of the suppression temperature interval, the heat treatment controller controls the heating element to heat in a heat preservation manner, and the temperature in the heating device 110 is maintained in the suppression temperature interval by the heating element. The suppression temperature interval is an interval value above and below the preheating temperature. The above temperature is maintained to slowly increase the temperature of the workpiece to the preheating temperature. When the temperature detector detects that the temperature of the workpiece reaches the preheating temperature, it triggers the start signal of the heating device 110, and the door of the heating device 110 opens automatically, and the workpiece preparation for the next process is completed.

[0070] In an optional embodiment, heating the workpiece at a second heating rate includes: placing the workpiece in a heat preservation environment, wherein the temperature range of the heat preservation environment is [T min ,T max ]. Before the actual temperature reaches the lower limit of the preheating temperature interval, the heating device 110 heats the workpiece, that is, the heat treatment controller sends a heating signal, and the heating element performs a heating operation. The lower limit T min =T-ΔT; When the actual temperature reaches the lower limit of the preheating temperature range, the heating device 110 keeps the workpiece warm, that is, the heat treatment controller sends a heat preservation signal, and the heating element performs a heat preservation operation. The above heating and heat preservation are conventional temperature control methods of the heating element. The above process is implemented by first setting the suppression value, determining a temperature value before approaching the preheating temperature, and the preheating temperature minus the suppression value is the lower limit of the suppression temperature range. According to the heat preservation method, the upper limit of the suppression temperature range is the preheating temperature plus the suppression value, T max =T+ΔT, where ΔT is the set inhibition value. Entering the heat preservation working section means increasing the inhibition value during the heating process. After the temperature of the workpiece rises, the final value of the temperature rise is limited. The heating element can only heat the temperature in the heating device 110 to near the preheating temperature, so that the final value range of the heating temperature of the heating device 110 is [preheating temperature-inhibition value, preheating temperature+inhibition value]. In an optional embodiment, when the actual temperature reaches the lower limit of the inhibition temperature range, the heat treatment controller determines whether the actual temperature is equal to the preheating temperature, that is, the program of the heat treatment controller is executed to the latter stage, and the actual temperature of the workpiece is close to the preheating temperature. The actual temperature is compared with the preheating temperature. If they are equal, the signal to open the heating device 110 is triggered, and then the workpiece is removed and the quenching process is executed.

[0071] In an optional embodiment, when the workpiece is quenched by the quenching device 120, the quenching medium in the quenching device 120 is compensated for heating, and the temperature of the compensatory heating is less than or equal to 150°C, so that the temperature rise of the workpiece is less than or equal to 15°C. The quenching device 120 can use a quenching tank, which is a rectangular structure and is trough-shaped as a whole. It has a temperature sensor, a stirring shaft, a heating wire, and can adjust the liquid level. The effective capacity of the quenching tank is 1-1.5m 3 The temperature sensor can detect the temperature in the quenching tank. The stirring shaft, such as the output part of the stirrer, stirs the water or oil in the quenching tank through the stirring shaft to avoid excessive local temperature. The quenching tank is heated by the heating wire to achieve temperature compensation. The above-mentioned compensation heating method includes two methods. One is that the heating wire used for compensation heating is part of the quenching device 120. The heating wire is in the quenching medium, and its end is fixed to the inner wall of the quenching device 120, such as embedded fixation, and other conventional fixing methods can also be used. The water or oil is heated by the heating wire, and the temperature of the water or oil is used to assist in heating the workpiece; the other is to use an external heating method. The heating device used for auxiliary heating is independent of the quenching device 120. The heating device is an existing electric heating element, such as an electric heating rod, an electric heating tube, etc. It only needs to be placed in the quenching water tank or oil tank, and the water or oil is heated by the external heating device, thereby indirectly achieving compensation heating for the workpiece.

[0072] Please refer to Figure 4 In a third aspect of the present application, a method for heat treatment of a workpiece is provided, which adopts the above-mentioned heat treatment system 100. The method is a process performed on the workpiece. Since the heating device 110 includes three: a low-temperature heating device 111, a medium-temperature heating device 112 and a high-temperature heating device 113, such as a low-temperature heating box, a medium-temperature heating box and a high-temperature heating box, respectively, a low-temperature furnace, a medium-temperature furnace, a high-temperature furnace, etc. can also be used. The method also includes three processes. The specific heat treatment method includes:

[0073] S1. Place the workpiece in the low-temperature heating device 111 for heating. Use the temperature detection module to detect the real-time temperature of the workpiece, and use the heat treatment controller to make a judgment. When the actual temperature T of the workpiece is i When the set preheating temperature T1 is reached, such as 50°C, the heat treatment controller controls the transfer device 130 to take out the workpiece and transfer it to the quenching device 120 for quenching; by placing the workpiece in the low-temperature heating device 111 for heating, detecting the temperature and making a judgment, the workpiece can be heated to the set first heating temperature and then quenched.

[0074] S2. The workpiece is transferred into the medium-temperature heating device 112 for heating. The real-time temperature of the workpiece is detected by the temperature detection module, and the judgment is performed by the heat treatment controller. When Ti reaches the set preheating temperature T2, such as 500°C, the workpiece is taken out and transferred into the quenching device 120 for quenching. By placing the workpiece in the medium-temperature heating device 112 for heating, detecting the temperature and making a judgment, the workpiece can be heated to the set second heating temperature and then quenched.

[0075] S3, transfer the workpiece into the high temperature heating device 113 for heating, detect the real-time temperature of the workpiece through the temperature detection module, and make a judgment through the heat treatment controller, and wait for T i When the set preheating temperature T3 is reached, such as 1000°C, the workpiece is taken out and transferred to the quenching device 120 for quenching, or transferred to the air cooling device 140 for annealing; by placing the workpiece in the high-temperature heating device 113 for heating, detecting the temperature and making a judgment, the workpiece can be heated to the set third heating temperature, and then quenching or annealing is performed.

Through the above process, the entire heat treatment process of the workpiece can be divided into three heating and quenching steps with a sequence, which can eliminate human factors, avoid the uncertainty of manual operation, make various test parameters controllable and adjustable, improve the reliability of test data, and coordinate with each other to ensure that the heat treatment of the workpiece meets production requirements.

This solution can avoid the uncertainty errors caused by traditional manual operation, and can also avoid the problem of temperature not meeting the requirements caused by the use of time or beat production triggering process conditions in automatic program control. The heating device 110, the quenching device 120 and the transfer device 130 can be effectively coordinated to make various test parameters controlled and adjustable, and the heated workpiece can meet the process requirements to improve the reliability of the test data; at the same time, it can also avoid safety problems caused by operation.
