Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of aging treatment, and in particular to a cooling pipeline system of an aging treatment furnace for cast iron parts. Background Art

[0002] Aging treatment of cast iron parts, as a key heat treatment process, aims to eliminate the internal stress generated during the casting process, thereby stabilizing the size and shape of the castings and significantly improving their mechanical properties; this treatment process is mainly divided into two categories: natural aging and artificial aging. Natural aging is the process of placing the casting in an open-air environment for more than half a year, allowing it to slowly deform under natural conditions, thereby gradually eliminating or reducing the residual stress inside the casting.

[0003] Artificial aging, also known as thermal aging, is a process in which the casting is placed inside an aging furnace and heated to a certain temperature (usually between 550 and 650°C) by the aging furnace for stress relief annealing, in order to achieve the effect of quickly and thoroughly eliminating residual stress.

[0004] The Chinese invention patent with application number CN202110372758.8 discloses an electromagnetically sealed aging furnace, which includes a furnace body and a sealing mechanism; the furnace body includes a first door body and a second door body; the sealing mechanism includes a hollow tube, an insertion rod, a first sealing assembly and a second sealing assembly; the hollow tube is arranged at the first door body; one end of the insertion rod is arranged in the furnace body, and the other end of the insertion rod passes through the hollow tube and extends out of the furnace body; the first sealing assembly includes a sealing plate and a first sealing ring; one end of the sealing plate is connected to one end of the insertion rod, and the second sealing ring is arranged at one end of the sealing plate; the sealing plate includes an electromagnet; the first door body and the second door body are respectively provided with permanent magnets; the second sealing assembly includes a second sealing ring and a hydraulic cylinder; by setting the hydraulic cylinder, the first door body and the second door body are in a closed state; through the combination of the electromagnet and the permanent magnet, the first door body and the second door body are respectively fitted with the sealing plate; by setting the first sealing ring and the second sealing ring, the furnace body is sealed to reduce heat loss.

[0005] Although current technology can effectively seal the furnace body by installing the first sealing ring and the second sealing ring to reduce heat loss, the furnace environment still needs to be strictly controlled when performing heat aging treatment on cast iron parts. Specifically, it is necessary to ensure that the temperature difference in the furnace is maintained within ±25°C, the heating rate does not exceed 50°C / hour, and the cooling rate must also be controlled below 20°C / hour. This is because if the heating rate is too fast, the temperature of the thin-walled area in the component will rise rapidly, far exceeding the thick-walled area, which will cause the temperature difference inside the component to expand sharply, triggering the generation of additional temperature stress, posing a threat to the quality of the component.

[0006] On the other hand, if the cooling process is not handled properly, not only will the effect of the thermal aging treatment be greatly reduced, it may even induce temperature stresses (i.e., secondary stresses) similar to the original residual stresses. These stresses will remain in the components, directly destroying the effects previously expected to be achieved through thermal aging treatment.

[0007] In view of the above analysis, it is particularly urgent to develop a cooling pipeline system designed for aging treatment of cast iron parts. The system needs to be able to accurately control the rate of change of the temperature in the furnace to ensure that the heating and cooling processes meet the process requirements, thereby effectively avoiding the adverse effects of temperature stress on the quality of cast iron parts and improving the overall effect and stability of thermal aging treatment.

[0050] Reference Figure 1 As shown, the lifting drive device 3 includes support columns 301 symmetrically arranged on the top of the furnace body 1, and the tops of the two support columns 301 are commonly connected to a rotating rod 302, and a winding wheel 307 is symmetrically arranged on the rotating rod 302. The winding wheel 307 is provided with a traction member 308, and the end of the traction member 308 away from the winding wheel 307 is connected to the top of the furnace door 2.

[0056] A control terminal is disposed on the outside of the furnace body 1 , and a control system is disposed inside the control terminal. The control system is used to control all electrical components on the furnace body 1 .

[0057] The furnace body 1 is provided with array-distributed thermocouples inside, and the thermocouples are used to detect whether the temperature inside the furnace body 1 is unevenly distributed.

[0058] In the initial state, the lifting drive device 3 drives the furnace door 2 to rise to prevent the furnace door 2 from affecting the workpiece from entering the furnace body 1.

[0059] The air guide device 6 is in a normal state, and the air guide parts 602 distributed on both sides of the cooling branch pipe 504 are in a state of being parallel to each other (specifically, Fig.12 as shown).

[0060] A roller conveyor is provided on the outer side of the furnace body 1 , and in an initial state, the workpiece carrying device 8 is located above the roller conveyor.

[0061] When in use, the staff first places the workpiece to be heat-aged inside the ventilation frame 802 on the carrier 801. After the workpiece is placed, the roller conveyor is started, and the roller conveyor transports the carrier 801 toward the furnace body 1. During this process, the control system synchronously controls the start of the transmission conveyor device 4, and the carrier 801 is transported to the inside of the furnace body 1 under the joint action of the roller conveyor and the transmission conveyor device 4.

[0062] After the carrier 801 carrying the workpiece enters the furnace body 1, the control system is started and the following steps are performed: 1) Closing of the furnace door 2: The control system starts the lifting drive device 3, so that the furnace door 2 moves down steadily along the limit frame 12, gradually and completely blocking the feed port of the furnace body 1, and ensuring the airtightness of the furnace environment.

[0063] 2) Heating treatment: After the furnace door 2 is closed, the control system further activates the electric heating device inside the furnace body 1. The device then performs thermal aging treatment on the workpieces (mainly cast iron parts) in the furnace, aiming to improve the mechanical strength and heat resistance of the cast iron parts through the heating process and optimize their physical properties.

[0064] 3) Insulation stage: When the cast iron reaches the predetermined heating temperature and completes the required heating time, the control system automatically switches to insulation mode to keep the cast iron at a constant temperature for 4 to 8 hours (4-8H) to ensure the adequacy and uniformity of the thermal aging treatment.

[0065] 4) Cooling down the furnace: After the insulation stage, the control system controls the furnace to enter the cooling down stage, and blows cold air into the furnace body 1 through the gas supply device 5. The cold air displaces the hot air inside the furnace body 1, and the temperature inside the furnace is gradually reduced until the cast iron parts are cooled to a safe processing temperature, completing the entire heat treatment process.

[0066] During the furnace cooling process, the control system first activates the butterfly valve on the exhaust pipe 9, allowing the hot air in the furnace to be discharged through the exhaust pipe 9, and controls the solenoid valve on the gas main pipe 502 to open, ensuring that during the operation of the gas delivery component 501, the outside cold air can be smoothly introduced into the gas main pipe 502, so that the outside cold air can replace the hot air inside the furnace body 1.

[0067] During the furnace cooling stage, the gas delivery component 501 is started. The gas delivery component 501 includes a blower. The gas delivery component 501 draws cold air from the outside into the gas delivery main pipe 502. The gas delivery main pipe 502 distributes the cold air to both sides of the frame branch pipe 503. The cold air enters the interior of the furnace body 1 through the cooling branch pipes 504 distributed on both sides of the frame branch pipe 503. Since the cooling branch pipes 504 are located at the bottom of the furnace body 1, after the cold air enters the interior of the furnace body 1, the cold air begins to flow from bottom to top, and the cold air and the hot air in the furnace are efficiently replaced. As the replacement process proceeds, the cooled air is finally discharged smoothly from the exhaust pipe 9 at the top of the furnace body 1, thereby achieving effective cooling of the furnace body 1.

[0068] It should be noted that: a through pipe can be set on the outside of the exhaust pipe 9, and the through pipe is connected to another furnace body 1 (Note: at this time, the furnace body 1 is in a waiting state). When the replaced air is discharged from the exhaust pipe 9, a part of the gas will enter the inside of the other furnace body 1 through the through pipe to preheat the furnace body 1 and improve the working efficiency of the furnace body 1.

[0069] Reference Fig.12As shown, the interior of the furnace body 1 is divided into three areas, corresponding to the S1 area, the S2 area and the S3 area respectively. The control system can detect not only the temperature difference values ​​between the three areas, but also the temperature difference values ​​at the upper and lower ends of a single area through thermocouples, thereby controlling the air guide device of each interval to make corresponding state changes and adjust the temperature distribution inside the furnace body 1.

[0070] When the control system detects that the temperature difference between the three areas exceeds the set value, it indicates that the air volume distribution is unreasonable during the process of cooling the workpiece by the gas delivery device 5, resulting in differences in the air volume within the three areas, thereby affecting the temperature distribution of the furnace body 1.

[0071] When the control system detects that the air volume distribution inside the furnace body 1 is unreasonable, resulting in uneven temperature distribution of the furnace body 1, Fig.12 For example, assuming that the temperature difference between the S1 region and the S2 region exceeds the set value (the temperature inside the S1 region is higher than the temperature in the S2 region), the control system controls the air guide device 6 corresponding to the cooling branch pipe 504 located in the S2 region to be in the third working state (specifically, Figure 8 As shown in FIG. 1 ), the air guide device 6 guides the cold air blown by the cooling branch pipe 504 into the S2 area to the inside of the S1 area, so that the cold air received by the S1 area is greater than the normal amount, so that the temperature inside the S1 area gradually becomes stable with the temperature of the S2 area.

[0072] During the transition of the air guide device 6 from the normal state to the third working state, the rotating member 601 driven by the rotating part 603 is controlled to deflect in the direction of the S1 area. By controlling the extension and contraction amount of the pushing part 6033, the deflection angles of the two corresponding pushing parts 6033 can be controlled, so that the air guide device 6 is transformed from the normal state to the third working state. The air guide part 602 in the third working state guides the gas blown out from the cooling branch pipe 504.

[0073] It should be noted that: if the temperature drop rate of the S1 region is less than the threshold value, the air guide device 6 corresponding to the S2 region and the S3 region is controlled to be in the fourth working state (specifically, Fig. 9 As shown), at this time, the air guide portion 602 blocks the air outlet of the cooling branch pipe 504, thereby accelerating the airflow discharged from the cooling branch pipe 504 corresponding to the S1 area, and the cooling branch pipe 504 is able to fully cool the workpiece in the S1 area.

[0074] When the control system detects that the temperature difference between the top and bottom of the furnace body 1 exceeds the set value, it indicates that the cold air discharged from the cooling branch pipe 504 has excessive temperature loss in the process of moving from the top of the furnace body 1 to the top of the furnace body 1, resulting in excessive temperature difference between the top and bottom of the furnace body 1.

[0075] When the control system detects that the temperature difference between the top and bottom of the furnace body 1 exceeds the set range, it will automatically adjust the gas guide device 6 inside the furnace body 1 to the first working state (specifically, Figure 6 ). In the first working state, the air guide 602 is arranged on both sides of the cooling branch pipe 504, and together with the inner wall of the furnace body 1, forms a triangular frame. The main function of this triangular frame is to close the area in front of the cooling branch pipe 504, ensuring that the cold air released from the cooling branch pipe 504 can flow along the triangular frame to the top of the furnace body 1.

[0076] As the cold air moves upward, it contacts the arc-shaped portion 11 on the connecting block 10, and the arc-shaped portion 11 guides the cold air to flow from the top to the bottom of the furnace body 1, forming an airflow path from top to bottom. At the same time, the original bottom-up airflow in the furnace body 1 meets and collides with the newly guided airflow, which promotes the full mixing and contact of the gas inside the furnace body 1, thereby realizing the effective distribution of the cold air in the furnace body 1, and significantly improving the heat exchange efficiency inside the furnace body 1, thereby ensuring that the internal temperature of the furnace body 1 can drop steadily and evenly during the cooling process.

[0077] It should be noted that: by controlling the extension of the adjustment member 703, the deflection angle of the arc block 702 in the installation slot 701 can be adjusted, thereby guiding the airflow path of the cold air flowing from top to bottom.

[0078] When the control system detects that the temperature drop rate inside the furnace body 1 is less than the set value, it indicates that the temperature inside the furnace body 1 is too high. During the process of the cold air discharged from the cooling branch pipe 504 replacing the hot air inside the furnace body 1 with the cold air, the cold air and the hot air cannot fully contact each other, resulting in a slower rate of the cold and hot replacement operation.

[0079] When the control system detects that the temperature drop rate inside the furnace body 1 is slow, the control system adjusts the air guide device 6 inside the furnace body 1 to enter the second working state. In the second working state, the air guide parts 602 located on both sides of the cooling branch pipe 504 and the side walls of the furnace body 1 together form a triangular frame, but there is a gap at the tip of the triangular frame. The gap compresses the air exhausted from the cooling branch pipe 504, increases the air flow rate exhausted from the cooling branch pipe 504, and speeds up the air flow rate inside the furnace body 1, thereby improving the replacement efficiency of cold air and hot air.

[0080] When the air guide device 6 is in the second working state, the rotating part 601 is driven to rotate by controlling the rotating part 603, that is, the air guide parts 602 located on both sides of the same cooling branch pipe 504 are deflected in the same direction. During the deflection process, the air guide part 602 still forms a triangular frame with the furnace body 1, and there is a gap at the tip of the triangular frame. This is intended to control the air discharged from the cooling branch pipe 504 to flow irregularly inside the furnace body 1, so that the gas forms a turbulent flow inside the object, so that it is fully in contact with the workpiece inside the furnace body 1, thereby improving its heat exchange efficiency. At the same time, the existence of the turbulent flow further accelerates the rate at which hot air is discharged from the exhaust pipe 9.

[0081] It is worth noting that when the air guide device 6 is in the second working state, the control system controls the adjustment member 703 to drive the arc block 702 to rotate repeatedly inside the mounting groove 701. The arc block 702 forms an airflow from top to bottom during the reciprocating rotation, and at the same time disturbs the air on the top of the furnace body 1, further enhancing the replacement efficiency of cold and hot air inside the furnace body 1.

[0082] When the workpiece on the carrier 801 is an annular cylindrical workpiece, the air exhausted from the cooling branch pipe 504 directly contacts the outer wall of the annular cylindrical workpiece, so that there is a certain temperature difference between the inner circle and the outer circle of the annular cylindrical workpiece.

[0083] A thermocouple is installed on the carrier 801 to monitor the temperatures of the inner ring and the outer ring of the annular cylindrical workpiece. When the temperature difference between the inner ring and the outer ring of the annular cylindrical workpiece exceeds the set value, the control system controls the adjustment member 703 to push the arc block 702 to deflect, so that the end of the arc block 702 away from the mounting groove 701 contacts the top of the annular cylindrical workpiece. As the arc block 702 continues to deflect, the end of the arc block 702 away from the mounting groove 701 will push the annular cylindrical workpiece to synchronously deflect to a certain extent, that is, the bottom surface of the annular cylindrical workpiece will warp. At this time, the air discharged from the cooling branch pipe 504 can enter the inner ring of the annular cylindrical workpiece from the warped part of the annular cylindrical workpiece, and cool the inner ring part of the annular space to avoid excessive temperature difference between the inner and outer rings of the annular cylindrical workpiece, which will cause temperature stress changes in the annular cylindrical workpiece during the aging cooling process.

[0084] The present invention significantly optimizes the airflow path during the furnace cooling stage, and greatly improves the utilization efficiency of cold air by introducing a turbulence mechanism, thereby effectively shortening the cooling time. The specific implementation method is as follows: When the temperature difference between different areas in the furnace exceeds a preset range, the present invention can automatically adjust the state of the gas guide device 6 in the corresponding area to ensure uniform temperature distribution and achieve balanced temperature control.

[0085] If it is detected that the temperature difference between the top and the bottom of the furnace body 1 is too large, the air guide device 6 is adjusted to the first working state. In this state, the air guide part 602 and the inner wall of the furnace body 1 together form a triangular frame, guiding the cold air to flow upward along the frame, and guiding the cold air to flow back downward after contacting the top structure of the furnace body 1, forming an efficient up and down airflow circulation, effectively reducing the temperature difference between the top and the bottom.

[0086] In the case of a slow cooling rate, the air guide device 6 is switched to the second working state. In this state, the air guide portion 602 is deflected to form a specific triangular frame and a gap is created at its tip to compress the air discharged from the cooling branch pipe 504, increase the air flow rate and introduce more turbulence. These measures work together to significantly improve the replacement efficiency of cold air and hot air, thereby accelerating the cooling process of the furnace body 1.

[0087] For annular cylindrical workpieces, the present invention also designs a special processing mechanism, which monitors the temperature difference between the inner and outer rings of the workpiece. When the temperature difference exceeds the set value, the arc block 702 is used to push the workpiece to deflect to a certain extent, so that the bottom of the workpiece is tilted. This design allows the cold air discharged from the cooling branch pipe 504 to more easily enter the inner ring of the workpiece, effectively cooling the internal space, thereby avoiding the problem of temperature stress changes caused by excessive temperature difference between the inner and outer rings.
