Therefore, every hardware production company is working hard to improve the production efficiency of bolts. In the production and processing process, bolts are usually formed by forging and machining. They need to be heated to reach the forging temperature before forging. Since bolts are processed in batches, the number of bolts entering the heating furnace each time is huge. However, the capacity of the current heating furnace in the company is limited, so the heating efficiency is low. Moreover, the current way for bolts to pass through the heating furnace is usually to stack them in a container and heat them in the heating furnace, which results in uneven heating. Therefore, during temperature screening, more bolts need to be heated for a second time, and even some parts with too high temperatures need to be compensated by other process means. Therefore, the current heating furnace cannot achieve the purpose of uniform heating.
