Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of high-strength bolt production, and in particular to a continuous annealing furnace for nuclear power bolt production. Background Art

[0002] The bolts used in nuclear power equipment have high usage requirements, so the design of the durability and service life of the bolts is also very strict. After the bolts are produced, they need to be annealed to enhance the strength of the bolts.

[0003] Annealing is a metal heat treatment process, which means slowly heating the metal to a certain temperature, maintaining it for a certain period of time, and then cooling it at an appropriate rate. The purpose is to eliminate residual stress, eliminate work hardening, improve plastic processing properties, and prepare the organization for subsequent processing. To be precise, annealing is a heat treatment process for materials, including metal materials and non-metallic materials, and the annealing purpose of new materials is also different from that of traditional metal annealing.

[0004] When the existing continuous annealing furnace anneals the bolts, it is necessary to adjust the annealing temperature of the bolts according to the size of the bolts. Since the annealing temperatures required for bolts of different sizes are different, it is not easy to adapt the annealing temperature to the bolts of different specifications for simultaneous annealing when bolts of different specifications need to be annealed simultaneously. If the annealing temperature is adapted to the larger specifications of the bolts, the smaller specifications of the bolts will be damaged by the annealing temperature that is not adapted to themselves. If the annealing temperature of the continuous annealing furnace is adapted to the smaller specifications of the bolts, the larger specifications of the bolts will not be completely annealed by the heat, which is likely to cause the annealing effect of the larger specifications of the bolts. Therefore, we propose a continuous annealing furnace for the production of nuclear power bolts. Summary of the invention

[0049] Among them, the first motor 13 installed on the annealing box 1 drives the driving frame 12 to rotate, and then drives the driving block 11 rotatably connected to the driving frame 12 to slide in the slide groove, and then drives the driving rod 10 to rotate on the annealing box 1, and then drives the discharging rod 3 rotatably connected to the bottom end of the driving rod 10 to move, and then drives the discharging rod 3 to rotate between the two sliders 8, and at the same time drives the two sliders 8 to slide in the slide 7, so that the annealed high-strength bolts are discharged in batches.

[0050] The unloading mechanism is provided in a plurality of pieces, and the unloading mechanism is installed in the annealing box 1.

[0051] Among them, when the high-strength bolts are pushed to the unloading port, the second motor 18 installed on the unloading frame 15 drives the unloading shaft 17 to rotate, thereby driving the unloading steel belt 4 connected between the two unloading shafts 17 to transmit, and then driving the buffer rod 19 fixedly connected to the unloading steel belt 4 to move, thereby supporting the annealed high-strength bolts for slow unloading, thereby effectively preventing the high-strength bolts from being unloaded too quickly and preventing the threads on the high-strength bolts from being damaged by bumps.

[0052] The cooling mechanism is installed in the annealing box 1, and the cooling mechanism includes a refrigerator 5. The refrigerator 5 is arranged in the annealing box 1 and is used to adaptively cool the high-strength bolts after annealing.

The fan 23 is installed on the annealing box 1, and the output end of the fan 23 faces the refrigerator 5;

[0053] Among them, after annealing high-strength bolts with larger specifications, due to their large specifications and volume, the cooling speed will also be slower. Therefore, it is necessary to distribute cold air through the refrigerator 5 installed on the lifting plate 20, and blow the cold air distributed by the refrigerator 5 to the high-strength bolts through the fan 23 installed on the annealing box 1, and drive the lifting screw 22 to rotate through the third motor 21 installed on the annealing box 1, thereby driving the lifting plate 20 to be raised and lowered, thereby adjusting the distance between the refrigerator 5 and the high-strength bolts, and then adaptively cooling the high-strength bolts.

[0054] The conveying mechanism is installed in the annealing box 1, and the conveying mechanism includes a conveying steel belt 6, which is arranged in the annealing box 1 and is used to convey high-strength bolts. The conveying mechanism also includes: a conveying frame 24, a conveying shaft 25 and a fourth motor 26. The conveying frame 24 is provided in two, and the two conveying frames 24 are fixedly connected at the feed port and the discharge port. The conveying shaft 25 is provided in two, and the two conveying shafts 25 are respectively rotatably connected in the two conveying frames 24. The fourth motor 26 is installed on one of the conveying frames 24, and the output end of the fourth motor 26 passes through the conveying frame 24 and is fixedly connected to one of the conveying shafts 25;

[0055] The conveying shaft 25 is driven to rotate by the fourth motor 26 installed on the conveying frame 24, thereby driving the conveying steel belt 6 connected between the two conveying shafts 25 to rotate, thereby conveying high-strength bolts of different specifications.

[0056] Two baffles 27 are fixedly connected to the two conveying shafts 25 , and the conveying steel belt 6 is arranged between the two baffles 27 to prevent the conveying steel belt 6 from deviating during conveyance.

[0057] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to anneal high-strength bolts of different specifications at the same time, the high-strength bolts of different specifications are placed on the conveyor steel belt 6 in batches, and the conveyor shaft 25 is driven to rotate by the fourth motor 26 installed on the conveyor frame 24, thereby driving the conveyor steel belt 6 connected by the transmission between the two conveyor shafts 25 to slowly convey the high-strength bolts of different specifications into the annealing box 1, and the high-strength bolts are annealed by the radiation tube heater 2 installed in the annealing box 1. The heating time of high-strength bolts of different specifications is also different, and the heating time of high-strength bolts of smaller specifications is also shorter. Therefore, in the case of high-strength bolts of smaller specifications, the heating time of high-strength bolts of smaller specifications is also shorter. After the annealing of the strength bolts is completed, the first motor 13 installed on the annealing box 1 drives the driving frame 12 to rotate, thereby driving the driving block 11 rotatably connected to the driving frame 12 to slide in the slide groove, thereby driving the driving rod 10 to rotate on the annealing box 1, thereby driving the discharging rod 3 rotatably connected to the bottom end of the driving rod 10 to move, thereby driving the discharging rod 3 to rotate between the two sliders 8, and at the same time driving the two sliders 8 to slide in the slide 7, so that the annealed small-sized high-strength bolts are discharged at the corresponding discharge port, while the large-sized high-strength bolts continue to be transported and heated;

[0058] When the annealed high-strength bolts are unloaded, the unloading shaft 17 is driven to rotate by the second motor 18 installed on the unloading frame 15, thereby driving the unloading steel belt 4 connected between the two unloading shafts 17 to drive, and then driving the buffer rod 19 fixedly connected to the unloading steel belt 4 to move, thereby supporting the annealed high-strength bolts to be unloaded slowly, thereby effectively preventing the high-strength bolts from being unloaded too quickly and preventing the threads on the high-strength bolts from being damaged by collision;

[0059] After the increased size of the high-strength bolts is heated, the cooling speed will be slower due to the larger size. Therefore, it is necessary to distribute cold air through the refrigerator 5 installed on the lifting plate 20, and blow the cold air distributed by the refrigerator 5 onto the high-strength bolts through the fan 23 installed on the annealing box 1, and drive the lifting screw 22 to rotate through the third motor 21 installed on the annealing box 1, thereby driving the lifting plate 20 to be raised and lowered, thereby adjusting the distance between the refrigerator 5 and the high-strength bolts, and adaptively cooling the high-strength bolts.

[0060] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
