[0016] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without violating the connotation of the present invention, so the present invention is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0017] See also Figure 1-Figure 8 , shows a secondary quenching device in an embodiment of the present invention, which includes a mold body 100, an auxiliary gasket 200 and a secondary quenching device 300; the mold body 100 is used to support the inner wall of the ring 10, the secondary quenching device 300 is used to perform secondary quenching on the ring 10 installed with the mold body 100, and the auxiliary gasket 200 is used to cooperate with a press to remove the mold body 100 installed on the ring 10.

[0018] See also Figure 1, Figure 2 and Figure 3 The mold body 100 is a hollow cylindrical structure. The mold body 100 has an inner diameter surface 110 and an outer diameter surface 120 that are opposite to each other. The outer diameter surface 120 is provided with a plurality of grooves 121 parallel to the axial direction of the mold body 100. The outer diameter surface 120 is used to support the inner wall of the ring 10. The width of the mold body 100 is greater than or equal to the width of the ring 10. In this embodiment, the width of the mold body 100 is equal to the width of the ring 10, so that the mold body 100 can fully support the inner wall of the ring 10 except for the position where the grooves 121 are set.

[0019] See also Figure 4 The inner diameter of the auxiliary washer 200 is larger than the outer diameter of the mold body 100 and smaller than the outer diameter of the end face of the ferrule 10. With this arrangement, when the die head of the press presses the mold body 100, the mold body 100 and the auxiliary washer 200 do not interfere with each other, and the mold body 100 can be separated from the inner side of the ferrule 10.

[0020] See also Figure 5-Figure 8 The secondary quenching equipment 300 includes a body 310 having a cavity 311, a driving device 320 installed on the body 310, a transmission assembly 330 connected to the driving device 320, and a plurality of rollers 340 connected to the transmission assembly 330; the cavity 311 is used to accommodate a cooling quenching oil medium, and the plurality of rollers 340 are arranged parallel to each other at the bottom of the cavity 311.

[0021] like Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown, when in use, the ring 10 is placed between adjacent parallel rollers 340, the driving device 320 is started, the driving device 320 drives the transmission assembly 330, and drives multiple rollers 340 to rotate, and then the ring 10 rotates under the action of friction. During the rotation process, it continuously contacts the cooling quenching oil medium for secondary quenching.

[0022] It should be noted that in order to facilitate the removal of the jig from the inside of the ferrule 10 after the secondary quenching is completed, the jig in the prior art will be provided with a base and at least two connecting ears / claws on one side end face of the columnar carburizing jig. In order to facilitate the application of force, after the carburizing jig is installed, the connecting ears / claws will exceed the outer diameter of the ferrule 10. Due to the existence of the connecting ears / claws, the ferrule 10 can only be placed in the oil medium at a stationary state, and the ferrule 10 itself cannot roll. If rolling occurs, the connecting ears / claws will interfere with and collide with the internal structure of the secondary quenching machine. Therefore, the cooling quenching oil medium is usually stirred to make the cooling quenching oil medium contact with the ferrule 10. Since the ferrule 10 is stationary during this process, the medium may not be able to fully contact the ferrule 10. Figure 4As shown, in this embodiment, an auxiliary gasket 200 is provided in the disassembly link, which plays an auxiliary role when the ferrule 10 is removed from the carburizing mold. When in use, the end face of the ferrule 10 equipped with the mold body 100 is placed on the auxiliary gasket 200, and the press applies downward pressure to the middle mold body 100 to remove the carburizing mold from the inner side of the ferrule 10. Due to the participation of the press, it is more time-saving and labor-saving, and the efficiency is improved. In addition, during the secondary quenching process, the mold body 100 is completely installed in the inner side of the ferrule 10, without protruding connecting ears / feed claws, and there is no protruding part outside the mold body 100 and the part beyond the outer diameter of the ferrule 10, which is convenient for using the roller 340 rotating inside the quenching machine to drive the ferrule 10 to rotate. Secondary quenching is performed during the rotation process, which can make the contact between the ferrule 10 and the cooling quenching oil medium more sufficient, which is conducive to improving the cooling effect and efficiency. In the specific setting, the roller 340 is made of round steel. In addition, in order to prevent the ring 10 from tilting, a hook can be used to auxiliaryly hang the ring 10 from above. The hook and the ring 10 can slide relatively, and only play a certain limiting role.

[0023] See also Figure 2 In one embodiment, at least one annular groove 122 is formed along the circumferential direction on the outer diameter surface of the mold body 100. The annular groove 122 is an oil groove, which allows oil to flow in the carburizing mold to accelerate the cooling speed.

[0024] Preferably, in one embodiment, two annular grooves 122 are provided.

[0025] See also Figure 1 In one embodiment, the groove 121 of the mold body 100 has an arc surface 1211 that is recessed toward the axis of the mold body 100. The groove 121 can provide a channel for the cooling quenching oil medium to flow, and the recessed arc surface 1211 can expand to the cross-sectional area of ​​the channel, which is conducive to the full contact between the cooling quenching oil medium and the ferrule, and optimizes the secondary quenching effect.

[0026] In one embodiment, the secondary quenching device includes a washer 400 . When the washer 400 is coaxially disposed on one side of the mold body 100 , at least a portion of the end surface of the washer 400 contacts the end surface of the mold body 100 .

[0027] In one embodiment, the inner diameter of the washer 400 is equal to the inner diameter of the mold body 100, and the outer diameter of the washer 400 is less than or equal to the outer diameter of the mold body 100. The auxiliary washer 200 and the washer 400 are both made of low-carbon bearing steel. A press is used to press on the protruding washer 400, so that the carburized mold 100 that has been shrunk and imprisoned on the bearing inner ring 10 can be detached and enter the auxiliary washer 200.

[0028] See also Figure 5 and Figure 7In one embodiment, the transmission assembly 330 includes a row of upper gears 331 and a row of lower gears 332 that are staggered from each other. The driving device 320 is connected to the lower gears 332. The lower gears 332 and the upper gears 331 are meshed with each other. The upper gears 331 are connected to the rollers 340. In the specific configuration, a driving pulley 321 is provided on the main shaft of the driving device 320. The driving pulley 321 is connected to a passive pulley 333 through a belt 334. The passive pulley 333 is coaxially connected to one of the lower gears 332. The lower gears 332 are meshed with the upper gears 331. The rotation of the main shaft drives the driving pulley 321 and the passive pulley 333 to rotate, and then the rotation of the lower gear 332 drives the upper gear 331 to rotate, and the rollers 340 drive the ring 10 to rotate.

[0029] See also Figure 1-Figure 10 The secondary quenching method using the secondary quenching device comprises the following steps: Step S100: Figure 3 As shown, the tire body 100 is installed on the inner side of the ferrule 10 so that the outer diameter surface of the tire body 100 supports the inner wall of the ferrule 10; Step S200, see Fig. 9 and Fig.10 , placing the ferrule 10 with the tire body 100 installed between two adjacent rollers 340 rotating in the same direction, so that the axis of the ferrule 10 is parallel to the roller 340; In step S300, the cavity 311 is filled with cooling quenching oil medium, the ring 10 with the mold body 100 installed is immersed in the cooling quenching oil medium, the driving device 320 is turned on, and the roller 340 is driven to rotate through the transmission assembly 330, so that the ring 10 rotates in the cooling quenching oil medium and is quenched again.

[0030] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the steps further include Step S400, taking out the cooled ferrule 10; Step S500: Figure 4 As shown, the auxiliary gasket 200 is placed on the lower part of one end surface of the ring 10, and the head of the press machine is aligned with the tire body 100; Step S600 : The head of the press presses down the mold body 100 to separate the mold body 100 from the inner side of the ferrule 10 .

[0031] Furthermore, in one embodiment, step S500 also includes placing a gasket 400 on the upper portion of the ferrule 10 .

[0032] The secondary quenching method adopts a unique secondary quenching device to enable the ring 10 to rotate and be secondary quenched in the cooling quenching oil medium, thereby promoting more complete contact between the ring 10 and the cooling quenching oil medium, which is beneficial to improving the secondary quenching effect and secondary quenching efficiency.
