Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of mold steel processing, and more specifically to an online solid solution processing system for high-mirror plastic mold steel. Background Art

[0002] In the field of modern plastic mold manufacturing, the demand for high-mirror plastic mold steel is increasing day by day. High-mirror plastic mold steel plays a vital role in the molding process of plastic products, and its surface quality directly affects the appearance accuracy and smoothness of plastic products.

[0003] The solution treatment of mold steel often adopts a single heating method, such as a resistance heating furnace, which has a slow heating rate and takes a lot of time to heat the mold steel to the required solution temperature, which greatly limits the processing volume per unit time. There is a lack of precise oxygen content control means. Usually, inert gas is simply introduced without real-time monitoring and dynamic regulation mechanisms, making it difficult to ensure a low-oxygen environment in the furnace during the entire solution treatment process. This makes mold steel extremely easy to oxidize at high temperatures, and the surface finish is greatly reduced, which cannot meet the strict surface quality standards required for high-mirror plastic molds. It not only affects the appearance of the product, but may also cause problems such as difficulty in demolding plastic products, reducing production efficiency. At the same time, most solution treatments use natural cooling or simple air cooling, and the cooling rate is difficult to accurately control. Cooling too quickly will cause thermal stress cracks in the mold steel, and cooling too slowly will not be able to fix the ideal organizational structure in time, resulting in poor mechanical properties of the mold steel, which cannot meet the complex force requirements of modern plastic molds, affecting the overall performance and reliability of the mold.

[0034] As attached Figure 1-5 As shown, one end of the cooling box 20 is fixedly connected to a discharge pipe 28 to facilitate the solid solution mold steel liquid to enter the subsequent processing link.

[0035] As attached Figure 5 As shown, the meandering heat exchange tube 23 is made of stainless steel, which is convenient for rapid heat exchange with the solution mold steel liquid.

[0036] Working principle of the present invention: the high-mirror plastic mold steel to be solution treated is placed on a mold steel conveyor belt 3, which is supported and stabilized by a support frame 4 and driven by a power device, which is not shown in detail in the figure below. The mold steel moves toward the solution treatment box 1 along the conveyor belt. When it reaches the position above the feed pipe 2, the mold steel can be sent into the solution treatment box 1 through the feed pipe 2 through a suitable mechanical structure such as a pushing device, as needed. The multiple heating wires 5 and induction heating coils 6 inside the solution treatment box 1 work together. The heating wires 5 first preheat the air in the box, and the induction heating coils 6 use the principle of electromagnetic induction to make the mold steel itself heat up quickly. The dual heating method can ensure that the mold steel is quickly heated to the temperature range required for solution treatment. The induction heating coils 6 can accurately control the power, and according to factors such as the material and size of the mold steel, the heating speed and final temperature of the mold steel can be accurately controlled to ensure the uniformity of the solution effect.

[0037] At the same time, the nitrogen tank 8 on the rear side of the solution treatment box 1 plays an atmospheric protection role. The valve 11 on the air inlet pipe 9 is opened, and the high-purity nitrogen in the nitrogen tank 8 is continuously filled into the solution treatment box 1 through the air inlet pipe 9, forming an inert protective atmosphere in the box to prevent the mold steel from oxidizing under high temperature environment. The oxygen content monitor 7 monitors the oxygen content in the box in real time. Once the oxygen content rises, it indicates that there may be nitrogen leakage or air infiltration, etc., and the signal can be fed back in time. The nitrogen intake volume is further adjusted through the control system to ensure that the oxygen content in the box is maintained at an extremely low level, thereby ensuring the surface quality of the mold steel and meeting the high mirror requirements;

[0038] After the solution treatment is completed, the mold steel needs to be cooled quickly to fix the organizational structure and obtain ideal performance. First, the electromagnetic valve 29 on the first connecting pipe 13 is opened, and the heat carried by the mold steel is transferred to the heat exchange box 14 through the first connecting pipe 13. The multiple L-shaped heat dissipation fins 15 on the top of the heat exchange box 14 play a role. The heat exchange fins 15 are made of nickel-based alloy and have excellent high temperature resistance and heat dissipation performance. On the one hand, the heat is radiated to the surrounding environment by the heat dissipation fins 15 themselves; on the other hand, the fan 18 inside the fixed plate 17 on the fixed rod 16 is started to generate forced airflow, which accelerates the heat dissipation from the heat dissipation fins 15 to the air to achieve preliminary cooling. The mold steel fluid after solution continues to enter the cooling box 20 through the second connecting pipe 19. The heat exchange plate 21 outside the cooling box 20 participates in heat exchange, and the semiconductor refrigeration plate 22 on one side thereof is powered on to work. The Peltier effect is used to rapidly reduce the temperature on one side of the heat exchange plate 21, and the heat in the heat medium is efficiently absorbed for further cooling.

[0039] At the same time, the meandering heat exchange tube 23 inside the cooling box 20 is also playing a cooling role. The meandering heat exchange tube 23 is made of stainless steel, can withstand a certain temperature and has good thermal conductivity. The water cooling block 26 on the top of the circulation box 25 drives the coolant in the circulation tube 24 to circulate through the water pump 27. When the coolant flows in the meandering heat exchange tube 23, it continuously absorbs the heat of the heat medium, and returns to the circulation box 25 after its own temperature rises. After being cooled by the water cooling block 26, it circulates again, continuously taking away heat and enhancing the cooling effect. Finally, the cooled mold steel can leave the system through the discharge pipe 28 and enter the subsequent processing link.
