Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a leaf spring center hole positioning quenching device and a quenching process, belonging to the technical field of leaf spring processing. Background Art

[0002] Leaf springs, also known as steel leaf springs, are a common mechanical spring, mainly used in the suspension systems of various commercial vehicles and engineering vehicles. Leaf springs need to be quenched during production to increase the hardness and strength of the leaf springs while maintaining their good elasticity and plasticity. There are many processes before the leaf spring quenching process, including heat treatment and bending of the ends, and each process will cause the length of the spring to change.

[0003] In order to improve production efficiency, the method of quenching two leaf springs at the same time is adopted. The process is as follows: the robot takes out the two heated leaf springs from the quenching furnace, places them on the straightening machine for straightening, and then the positioning blocks on one side push the ends of the two leaf springs at the same time to make the ends of the two leaf springs flush. After positioning is completed, another robot moves the leaf spring to the quenching machine for quenching.

[0004] The existing quenching process is to position the ends of the two leaf springs. However, the design of leaf spring quenching is based on the center hole or the straight section. The center hole is located in the middle of the straight section. If the traditional end positioning process is used, it will be affected by the processing accuracy of the previous process of the leaf spring, causing the center of the leaf spring quenching to shift and the size to change, failing to meet the design requirements, and thus affecting the performance of the leaf spring.
