DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 3 as well as Figure 7 A nitrogen quenching furnace tank cooling system shown in the figure includes a quenching furnace 1, a furnace cover 2 is covered on the top of the quenching furnace 1, and a docking tube 3, a plurality of connecting frames 4 are fixedly connected in the docking tube 3, a plurality of placing plates 5 for placing workpieces are fixed on the plurality of connecting frames 4, and the plurality of connecting frames 4 are hollow structures, and a plurality of through holes 6 for exhaust are opened on the outer side thereof, wherein hangers 7 are fixed on the tops of two connecting frames 4; and an air supply pipe 8 fixed at the bottom of the quenching furnace 1, a hose is fixedly connected to the tail end of the air supply pipe 8, and the hose is connected to the nitrogen supply equipment; and a sealing unit 9 installed in the air supply pipe 8, through which the butt joint tube 3 and the air supply pipe 8 are squeezed to realize ventilation after contact;

[0028] In this solution, a lifting device is used to lift the workpiece placed on the placement plate 5 and put it into the quenching furnace 1, and then the furnace cover 2 is covered. After the docking tube 3 and the air supply pipe 8 are butted against each other, the sealing unit 9 is opened, and the air supply pipe 8 is filled with cooling nitrogen through the nitrogen supply device. The nitrogen is discharged through the through hole 6 on the connecting frame 4, thereby directly acting on the outside of the workpiece on the placement plate 5, achieving a targeted gas cooling effect.

[0029] It should also be noted that the connecting frame 4 is made of a heat-non-conductive and high-temperature resistant material, which may be, but is not limited to, a ceramic tube or a carbon tube.

[0030] For further information, see Figure 5 as well as Figure 6 The sealing unit 9 includes an abutting ring 10 fixed on the inner wall of the air supply pipe 8, a bracket 11 is fixed in the air supply pipe 8, a slide rod 12 is slidably inserted in the bracket 11, a sealing ball 13 that fits the abutting ring 10 is fixed on the top of the slide rod 12, an adjusting rod 14 is fixed on the top of the sealing ball 13, and an extrusion spring 15 that abuts against the sealing ball 13 and the bracket 11 is sleeved on the outer side of the slide rod 12;

[0031] Among them, a counter block 16 adapted to the adjustment rod 14 is fixed in the docking tube 3. At the same time, in order to facilitate the docking of the docking tube 3 and the air supply pipe 8, a chamfer is provided on the inner side of the bottom of the docking tube 3;

[0032] After the docking sleeve 3 and the air supply pipe 8 are sleeved and abutted against each other, the abutting block 16 will squeeze the adjusting rod 14, causing the sealing ball 13 to move downward, and the sealing ball 13 will be separated from the abutting ring 10. At this time, nitrogen is filled into the air supply pipe 8 again, and the nitrogen is directly transmitted to the multiple connecting frames 4 through the docking sleeve 3, and is discharged through the through hole 6, directly acting on the outer side of the workpiece on the placement plate 5, thereby achieving targeted cooling treatment.

[0033] For further information, see Figure 4 and Figure 7 The vertical end of the connecting frame 4 is composed of a plurality of thick tubes 19 and a plurality of thin tubes 20 connected to each other, a plurality of through holes 6 are provided on the thin tubes 20, an adjusting tube 21 is slidably sleeved on the thin tubes 20, a plurality of exhaust holes 22 are provided on the outer side of the adjusting tube 21, and the outer wall of the adjusting tube 21 is made of frosted material. A driving component 23 for driving the plurality of connecting frames 4 to rotate is installed in the quenching furnace 1;

[0034] The driving component 23 includes a driving motor 24 fixed to the bottom of the quenching furnace 1 , a driving gear 25 is fixed to the output end of the driving motor 24 , and a transmission gear 26 meshing with the driving gear 25 is fixed to the bottom of the docking sleeve 3 .

[0035] The driving component 23 drives the multiple connecting frames 4 to rotate: the driving motor 24 drives the driving gear 25 to rotate. After the docking tube 3 is inserted into the air supply pipe 8, under the action of gravity, the transmission gear 26 on the outside of the docking tube 3 will engage with the driving gear 25, so that when the driving gear 25 rotates, the docking tube 3 will follow the rotation, causing the multiple connecting frames 4 to rotate.

[0036] It should be noted that, in order to facilitate the transmission gear 26 and the driving gear 25 to be more easily connected and meshed, chamfers are provided on adjacent sides of the transmission gear 26 and the driving gear 25 .

[0037] In this solution, the outer walls of the adjusting tubes 21 on several connecting frames 4 are in contact with the inner wall of the quenching furnace 1. When the connecting frame 4 rotates in the quenching furnace 1, the adjusting tubes 21 on the outside of the connecting frame 4 will rotate along the inner wall of the quenching furnace 1, so that the exhaust holes 22 on the outside of the adjusting tubes 21 can blow air at multiple angles, thereby achieving a better cooling effect on the periphery of the workpiece.

[0038] For further information, see Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 A chamfer is provided on the top of the quenching furnace 1 to facilitate the hanging of the connecting frame 4. An exhaust channel 27 is provided in the quenching furnace 1. One end of the exhaust channel 27 is connected to the inside of the quenching furnace 1, and an exhaust pipe 28 is fixed to the other end. The gas in the quenching furnace 1 is discharged outward through the exhaust channel 27 and the exhaust pipe 28.

[0039] Example 2: Please refer to Figure 5 This embodiment further explains the first embodiment, and the difference lies in that the air supply pipe 8 and the docking tube 3 are correspondingly optimized and improved, so that the docking seal is better and more stable.

[0040] Specifically, a rubber ring 17 is fixed to the outer side of the top of the air supply pipe 8 , and a sealing ring 18 matched with the rubber ring 17 is fixed to the inner wall of the docking tube 3 . The sealing ring 18 has a chamfered corner at one end close to the rubber ring 17 .

[0041] In this solution, after the docking tube 3 and the air supply pipe 8 are plugged in, the designed rubber ring 17 and the sealing ring 18 will contact and abut against each other, playing a sealing role at the bottom of the docking tube 3, so that nitrogen can only be transmitted through multiple connecting frames 4.

[0042] It should also be noted that, in order to make the connection between the docking tube 3 and the air supply pipe 8 more stable, a limiting ring 29 is fixed on the outer side of the air supply pipe 8 to abut against the bottom of the docking tube 3 .

[0043] It should be noted that, in this article, relational terms such as first and second, etc. are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms "include", "comprise" or any other variants thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device.

[0044] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
