[0003] A spline shaft fork is a mechanical transmission component, which has the structural feature of having a longitudinal key groove on the outer surface of the shaft, and the rotating part fitted on the shaft also has a corresponding key groove to keep synchronous rotation with the shaft. The spline shaft fork is widely used in the automotive industry, mainly for key transmission system components such as engines, gearboxes, and drive axles.

[0040] It can be understood that the meanings of "on", "above" and "over" in the present application should be interpreted in the broadest way, so that "on" not only means "directly on" something, but also includes the meaning of "on" something with intervening features or layers therebetween, and "above" or "over" not only means the meaning of "above" or "over" something, but also can include the meaning of "above" or "over" something without intervening features or layers therebetween.

[0041] Moreover, spatially relative terms, such as "beneath", "below", "lower", "above", "upper" and the like, can be used herein for ease of description to describe one element or feature's relationship to another element(s) or feature(s) as illustrated in the figures.

[0042] As shown in Figures 1 to 11 The embodiment of the present application provides an automatic heat treatment device for spline shaft fork, which comprises a heating furnace 1, one side of the heating furnace 1 is provided with a discharge port 2, one side of the heating furnace 1 is provided with a mounting frame 3, the end of the discharge port 2 is provided with a heat preservation curtain 4, and the automatic heat treatment device further comprises a stacking assembly 5, the stacking assembly 5 is installed on one side of the heating furnace 1, the stacking assembly 5 is used for arranging and placing quenched blanks, a transfer assembly 6, the transfer assembly 6 is installed on one side of the mounting frame 3, the transfer assembly 6 is used for transferring the blank into the heating furnace 1, a limiting assembly 7, the limiting assembly 7 is installed on the top end of the transfer assembly 6, the limiting assembly 7 is used for limiting a single blank, and a conveying assembly 8, the conveying assembly 8 is installed on the inner side of the heating furnace 1, and the conveying assembly 8 is used for conveying the blank outward from the inner side of the heating furnace 1.

[0044] By setting the stacking assembly 5, the operator puts the spline shaft fork blank after quenching and heating into the quenching pool 51 by operating the transfer spreader (not marked in the figure), and the spline shaft fork blank is rapidly cooled by the quenching liquid, so that the internal organizational structure of the spline shaft fork blank changes, forming martensite and other high-hardness martensite precursor phases. Subsequently, during the tempering process, the martensite precursor phase will undergo lattice deformation to form a martensite crystal phase, thereby improving the hardness and strength of the material of the spline shaft fork blank. During tempering, the operator controls the pushing plate 53 to push the cooled spline shaft fork blank in the quenching pool 51 to one side of the stacking area 52, so that the spline shaft fork blank after quenching is stacked above the arrangement plate 54 in the stacking area 52.

[0046] By setting the transfer assembly 6, the operator then starts the driving motor 61, which drives the rotating plate 62 to rotate clockwise, and the rotating plate 62 drives the placing plate 63 to rotate, turning the mounting rods 71 and the fan-shaped blocking blocks 73 at the top end of the placing plate 63 and the spline shaft fork blank after limiting towards the heating furnace 1. The limiting claw 64 is used to clamp the spline shaft fork blank that has not fallen between the mounting rods 71 to avoid falling to the ground, causing the quenched spline shaft fork blank to deform and affecting the mechanical properties of the spline shaft fork blank, thereby reducing the generation of unqualified products.

[0047] As shown in Figures 7 to 8As shown, the limiting assembly 7 comprises mounting rods 71 symmetrically mounted on both sides of the damping block one 66, three rotating shafts 72 are equidistantly arranged on the inner side of each mounting rod 71, each rotating shaft 72 rotates on the inner side of the mounting rod 71, the outer side of each rotating shaft 72 is sleeved with a sector-shaped stopper 73, one side of each sector-shaped stopper 73 is connected with a spring 74, the surface of each sector-shaped stopper 73 is equidistantly arranged with damping block two 730, the outer side of each rotating shaft 72 is sleeved with a one-way gear 75, the three one-way gears 75 are meshed with corresponding gear racks 76, the gear racks 76 are connected with each other, the bottom end of the bottommost gear rack 76 is connected with an elastic telescopic rod 77, the top end of the topmost gear rack 76 is connected with a connecting rod 78, and the top end of the connecting rod 78 is connected with a contact block 79.

[0048] When the spline shaft fork blank falling down through the slot 55 enters between the symmetrically installed mounting rods 71, the spline shaft fork blank falls down by its own gravity and contacts the two side fan-shaped blocks 73, the fan-shaped blocks 73 drive the corresponding rotating shafts 72 to rotate clockwise, the springs 74 are compressed under stress, at the same time, the shock-absorbing blocks two 730 installed equidistantly on the surface of the fan-shaped blocks 73 shock-absorb the spline shaft fork blank in the falling process, the one-way gear 75 rotates outside the rotating shaft 72, the one-way gear 75 meshes with the corresponding rack 76, the rack 76 moves vertically downward, the elastic telescopic rod 77 below the bottommost rack 76 is contracted under stress, the connecting rod 78 drives the contact block 79 to move downward with the value of the rack 76, so that the fan-shaped block 73 is retracted into the inside of the mounting rod 71 by following the rotating shaft 72, the spline shaft fork blank falls down, after the spline shaft fork blank passes, the corresponding height fan-shaped blocks 73 on both sides are no longer pressed downward by the outer surface of the spline shaft fork blank, the elastic telescopic rod 77 is reset, driving the rack 76 to move vertically upward, because the one-way gear 75 has one-way transmission, so that during the upward movement of the rack 76, the one-way gear 75 will not drive the rotating shaft 72 and the fan-shaped block 73 to rotate, at the same time, the spring 74 is no longer pressed at the end, and returns to its original state, so that the fan-shaped block 73 rotates outside the rotating shaft 72 and is reset, blocking the next spline shaft fork blank, at the same time, it can also protect the spline shaft fork blank below the fan-shaped block 73, repeat the above operation, so that the spline shaft fork blank is distributed between the symmetrically installed mounting rods 71, after passing through the bottommost group of fan-shaped blocks 73, the spline shaft fork blank falls into the inside of the placement block 65, the damper 650 at the bottom of the placement block 65 shock-absorbs the falling spline shaft fork blank, the shock-absorbing block one 66 of polyurethane material inside the placement block 65 weakens the vibration, by single clamping the spline shaft fork blank, it avoids the spline shaft fork from sliding and stacking under its own gravity in the conventional conveyor transportation, affects the conveying efficiency of the heating furnace, avoids the knocking of the parts after quenching, causes the fracture of the internal stress concentration of the spline shaft fork blank, causes the damage of the spline shaft fork blank, at the same time, the spline shaft fork blank is easy to cause the incomplete internal tempering of the spline shaft fork blank due to uneven heating in the tempering process.

[0049] As shown in Figures 9 to 11 The conveying assembly 8 includes a mounting plate 81 installed on one side of the heating furnace 1, a plurality of transmission plates 82 are equidistantly distributed and installed at the top end of the mounting plate 81, the transmission plates 82 penetrate through the heating furnace 1, the tail end of each group of transmission plates 82 is connected with a guide plate 83, the top end of each group of transmission plates 82 is installed with a trigger block 84, a conveying slot 85 is arranged between the two groups of transmission plates 82, a conveyor belt 86 is installed inside the heating furnace 1, a plurality of placement seats 87 are equidistantly distributed and installed on the conveyor belt 86, and a blocking protrusion 88 is connected between two placement seats 87.

[0050] By setting the conveying assembly 8, the driving motor 61 drives the mounting rod 71 to rotate towards the mounting plate 81, the contact block 79 at the top end of the mounting rod 71 is in contact with the trigger block 84 at the top end of the corresponding transmission plate 82, the contact block 79 slides towards the inner side of the corresponding mounting rod 71, drives the connecting rod 78 to move towards the bottom end of the mounting rod 71, the rack 76 is in meshing with the one-way gear 75, the one-way gear 75 drives the sector block 73 to rotate through the rotating shaft 72, so that the sector block 73 and the damping block 730 enter the inner side of the mounting rod 71 through rotation, the spline shaft fork blank enters the heating furnace 1 along the inner wall of the mounting rod 71 from the transmission plate 82, the conveying groove 85 between the guide plates 83 slides towards the upper side of the continuously rotating conveying belt 86, the surface of the conveying belt 86 follows the moving placement seat 87, the spline shaft fork blank falls into the inner side of the placement seat 87, the placement seat 87 limits the position of the spline shaft fork blank, the spline shaft fork blank that does not fall into the inner side of the placement seat 87 slides towards the inner side of the placement seat 87 on both sides to be positioned when contacted by the arc-shaped shape of the blocking block 88, so that the spline shaft fork blank can pass through the heating furnace 1 one by one and slide out of the discharge port 2, so that the outer surface of each spline shaft fork blank can be uniformly heated, providing the workpiece tempering effect, at the same time, avoiding the direct use of the conveying belt 86 spline shaft fork blank stacking, causing the discharge port 2 to be blocked, affecting the production efficiency, the spline shaft fork blank completes the tempering treatment of the blank during the sliding process, the heat preservation curtain 4 preserves the inner side of the heating furnace 1, isolates the metal dust in the inner side of the heating furnace 1, and at the same time, wipes off the impurities generated by surface tempering when the spline shaft fork blank is transported to the outer side of the discharge port 2, avoiding dust raising.

[0051] The working principle of the technical scheme provided by the present application is as follows:

[0052] The operator puts the spline shaft fork blank after quenching and heating into the quenching pool 51 by operating the transmission lifting appliance (not marked in the figure), and the quenching liquid rapidly cools the spline shaft fork blank, so that the internal organizational structure of the spline shaft fork blank changes to form a martensite precursor phase with high hardness, and then in the tempering process, the martensite precursor phase will undergo lattice deformation to form a martensite crystal phase, thereby improving the hardness and strength of the material of the spline shaft fork blank. During tempering, the operator controls the pushing plate 53 in the quenching pool 51 to push the cooled spline shaft fork blank to one side of the stacking area 52, so that the spline shaft fork blank after quenching is stacked above the arrangement plate 54 in the stacking area 52. At this time, the operator can pull out the blocking plate 56 outward through the electric control mechanism (not shown in the figure), so that the spline shaft fork blank slides down from the surface of the arrangement plate 54 through the inner side of the groove 55 and falls between the two symmetric mounting rods 71 (in the initial state, the placement plate 63 is located at the bottom end of the blocking plate 56, and the placement block 65 is aligned with the installation below the groove 55).

[0053] When the spline shaft fork blank falling down through the groove 55 enters between the symmetrically installed mounting rods 71, the spline shaft fork blank falling down contacts the fan-shaped blocks 73 on both sides, the fan-shaped blocks 73 drive the corresponding rotating shafts 72 to rotate clockwise, the springs 74 are compressed under stress, at the same time, the shock-absorbing blocks 730 symmetrically installed on the surface of the fan-shaped blocks 73 absorb the shock of the spline shaft fork blank falling down, the one-way gear 75 rotates outside the rotating shaft 72, the one-way gear 75 meshes with the corresponding rack 76, the rack 76 moves vertically downward, the elastic telescopic rod 77 below the bottommost rack 76 is contracted under stress, the connecting rod 78 drives the contact block 79 to move downward with the rack 76, so that the fan-shaped blocks 73 are retracted into the inside of the mounting rod 71 by rotating with the rotating shaft 72, the spline shaft fork blank falls down, after the spline shaft fork blank passes through, the corresponding fan-shaped blocks 73 on both sides are no longer pressed downward by the outer surface of the spline shaft fork blank, the elastic telescopic rod 77 is reset to drive the rack 76 to move vertically upward, because the one-way gear 75 has one-way transmission, the one-way gear 75 does not drive the rotating shaft 72 and the fan-shaped blocks 73 to rotate during the upward movement of the rack 76, at the same time, the spring 74 is no longer pressed at the end to restore its original state, so that the fan-shaped blocks 73 rotate outside the rotating shaft 72 to reset and block the next spline shaft fork blank, at the same time, it can also protect the spline shaft fork blank below the fan-shaped blocks 73, repeat the above operation to make the spline shaft fork blanks spread between the symmetrically installed mounting rods 71, after passing through the bottommost group of fan-shaped blocks 73, the spline shaft fork blank falls into the inside of the placement block 65, the damper 650 at the bottom of the placement block 65 absorbs the shock of the falling spline shaft fork blank, and the shock-absorbing block one 66 inside the placement block 65 weakens the vibration.

[0054] Then the operator starts the driving motor 61, the driving motor 61 drives the rotating plate 62 to rotate clockwise, the rotating plate 62 drives the placement plate 63 to rotate, the mounting rod 71 and the fan-shaped blocks 73 at the top of the placement plate 63 and the spline shaft fork blank after limiting are rotated toward the heating furnace 1, the limiting claw 64 is used to clamp the spline shaft fork blank that has not fallen between the mounting rods 71 to avoid falling to the ground, causing the quenched spline shaft fork blank to deform and affecting the mechanical properties of the spline shaft fork blank, reducing the generation of unqualified products.
