Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of automobile parts processing, in particular to a quenching device for processing an automobile steering ball head. Background Art
[0002] The automobile steering ball head is an important component connecting the front axle and the steering knuckle of the automobile. It allows the wheel to move up and down while also performing steering operations. The design and performance of the steering ball head have a vital impact on the vehicle's handling, stability and safety. In the production of steering ball heads, a quenching device is required to ensure that the steering ball head obtains high strength, high hardness and good wear resistance through heat treatment, thereby ensuring the safety and reliability of the vehicle.
[0003] The existing quenching device for automobile steering ball head processing is transported by a conveyor belt, and then the induction heating mechanism uses the alternating magnetic field generated by the high-frequency current to form an eddy current effect on the surface of the workpiece, so that the surface layer is quickly heated to above the critical temperature, and then the heated automobile steering ball head is transported to the cooling position by the conveyor belt, and the nozzle on the spray pipe sprays cooling oil to the transported automobile steering ball head, so that the automobile steering ball head can be quenched quickly and continuously. However, in actual use, due to the fixed spraying angle of the nozzle, the amount of cooling oil that can be contacted by various positions of the automobile steering ball head is uneven, the heat exchange speed is slow, and the cooling speed of various positions of the automobile steering ball head is different, which affects the quenching speed and cooling uniformity. Summary of the invention
[0004] In view of this, the present invention aims at the deficiencies of the prior art and provides a quenching device for processing an automobile steering ball head. When quenching the automobile steering ball head, an appropriate amount of quenching cooling oil can be evenly sprayed on the surface of the automobile steering ball head, which can effectively improve the cooling efficiency of the automobile steering ball head and ensure the quenching effect.
[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a quenching device for processing automobile steering ball heads, comprising an outer shell, a partition is arranged inside the outer shell, a conveying seat is arranged between the outer shell and the partition, uniformly distributed rotating rollers are rotatably arranged inside the conveying seat, symmetrically distributed sprockets are fixedly sleeved on the outer sides of the rotating rollers, chains are transmitted between the sprockets located in the same vertical plane, a conveying mesh belt is arranged between the chains, uniformly distributed rotating seats are arranged on the inner wall of the outer shell, rotating rings are rotatably arranged between adjacent rotating seats, annular tubes are arranged on the inner arc surfaces of the rotating rings, and uniformly distributed nozzles are arranged on the side of the annular tubes close to the horizontal center of the outer shell; an induction quenching module is arranged inside the outer shell, and the induction quenching module is installed in coordination with the conveying mesh belt; uniformly distributed supporting feet are arranged on the lower surface of the outer shell, and rubber pads are arranged on the lower surface of the supporting feet.

[0007] As a further improvement of the present invention, symmetrically distributed rotating rods are rotatably arranged between the outer shell and the partition, and uniformly distributed gears are fixedly sleeved on the outer arc surface of the rotating rods, and external toothed rings are arranged in the mounting grooves opened on the outer arc surface of the rotating rings, and the gears are respectively meshed and connected with adjacent external toothed rings; a driving box is arranged on the outer side surface of the outer shell, and symmetrically distributed rotating shafts are rotatably arranged inside the driving box, and the rotating shafts are respectively fixed to adjacent rotating rods through couplings, and worm gears are fixedly sleeved on the outer sides of the rotating shafts, and uniformly distributed supports are arranged inside the driving box, and worms are rotatably arranged between the inner wall of the driving box and adjacent supports, and the worms are respectively meshed and connected with adjacent worm gears, and linkage shafts are rotatably arranged between two adjacent supports, and the linkage shafts are respectively fixed to adjacent worm gears through couplings, and a dual-axis motor is arranged inside the driving box, and the output shafts of the dual-axis motors are fixed to adjacent linkage shafts through couplings.

[0011] Secondly, the cooling oil in the liquid tank enters the interior of the annular tube through the telescopic tube, and the cooling oil is sprayed out by the nozzle on the annular tube.

[0024] like Figure 3 , 4 As shown, symmetrically distributed rotating rods 208 are rotatably arranged between the housing 101 and the partition 103, and uniformly distributed gears 209 are fixedly sleeved on the outer arc surface of the rotating rods 208. External toothed rings 207 are arranged in the mounting grooves opened on the outer arc surface of the rotating ring 202, and the gears 209 are respectively meshed and connected with adjacent external toothed rings 207; a driving box 210 is arranged on the outer side of the housing 101, and symmetrically distributed rotating shafts are rotatably arranged inside the driving box 210, and the rotating shafts are respectively fixed to the adjacent rotating rods 208 through couplings, and the outer sides of the rotating shafts are uniformly fixed to the outer arc surface of the rotating ring 202. A worm gear 211 is provided on the fixed sleeve, and evenly distributed supports 212 are provided inside the driving box 210.

[0025] like Figure 1As shown, a control box 301 is disposed outside the housing 101 , and the drive motor 108 , the induction hardening module 109 , the dual-axis motor 214 and the infusion pump 217 are all electrically connected to the control box 301 .
[0026] When the steering ball head of the automobile needs to be quenched, the external cooling oil infusion pipe is connected to the liquid tank 205 so that the cooling oil enters the interior of the liquid tank 205, and then the control box 301 regulates the operation of the driving motor 108, the induction quenching module 109, the dual-axis motor 214 and the infusion pump 217, so that the output shaft of the driving motor 108 drives the rotating roller 105 connected thereto to rotate, and then drives the chain to rotate through the transmission relationship between the sprocket 106 and the chain, and then drives the conveyor mesh belt 107 to rotate, and the automobile steering ball head to be quenched is placed on the conveyor mesh belt 107, and the conveyor mesh belt 107 conveys the automobile steering ball head to be quenched;
[0027] When the automobile steering ball head to be quenched is conveyed to the bottom of the induction quenching module 109 by the conveyor mesh belt 107, the induction quenching module 109 uses the alternating magnetic field generated by the high-frequency current to form an eddy current effect on the surface of the automobile steering ball head, so that the surface layer is quickly heated to above the critical temperature, thereby realizing rapid heating of the automobile steering ball head; the heated automobile steering ball head is further conveyed by the conveyor mesh belt 107.
