Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of heat treatment, and particularly relates to a quenching cooling pool with rapid cooling. Background Art

[0002] In current industrial production, the quenching cooling pool is a key equipment for heat treatment of fastener steel in fields such as automobiles and wind power. Its cooling efficiency directly affects the quality and performance of products. In order to achieve rapid cooling, the existing quenching cooling pools generally adopt a relatively direct method - continuously stirring the water in the pool. By stirring, it aims to accelerate the flow of water, thereby enhancing the heat exchange between water and high-temperature fastener steel, ensuring that the steel can be quickly and evenly cooled to the required temperature to meet the requirements of subsequent processing or use.

[0003] However, the existing stirring methods often adopt a single-speed mode and cannot be flexibly adjusted according to the actual temperature conditions of different water layers in the quenching cooling pool. In fact, during the quenching process, due to the high temperature of the steel, obvious temperature gradients will appear in water layers at different depths. If the same stirring speed is adopted, the mixing between the high-temperature water layer and the low-temperature water layer will be insufficient, resulting in uneven temperature distribution in the cooling pool. This temperature non-uniformity will not only affect the quenching effect of the steel, causing fluctuations in key performance indicators such as the hardness and toughness of the steel, but also may lead to serious quality problems such as quenching cracks, thereby reducing production efficiency and product qualification rate. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a quenching cooling pool with rapid cooling to solve the problem of uneven temperature distribution in the cooling pool caused by stirring different water layers at the same speed.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a quenching cooling pool with rapid cooling, used for quenching and cooling fastener steel in fields such as automobiles and wind power, including a main frame, an internal water circulation mechanism, an external water circulation mechanism, a water spraying and cooling mechanism, and other mechanisms; the main frame includes a pool body, and the pool body is divided into several parts such as a cooling partition, a water exchange partition, and a water storage partition according to different functions, as well as a partition board for separating the water storage partition from other parts; The internal water circulation mechanism includes a return water hole provided on the partition board, a motor fixedly installed on an angle steel placed on the pool body, a power shaft with a socket at the lower end, a bevel gear set connecting the motor and the power shaft, and rotating wheels I, II, III, and IV with different numbers and sizes of blades arranged outside, and the number and size of the blades decrease successively from top to bottom.

[0006] Preferably, jacks are provided below the power shaft, the first rotating wheel, the second rotating wheel, the third rotating wheel, and the fourth rotating wheel. At the same time, clamping blocks for fixing are provided in the jacks for mutual connection.

[0007] Preferably, the external water circulation mechanism includes a refrigerator provided on the outer side of the pool body, a drain head jack provided on the side of the pool body, a drain head inserted into the drain head jack, and a circulation water pipe connecting the refrigerator and the drain head.

[0008] Preferably, the circulation water pipe discharges the hot water in the pool body, and uses this hot water to supply heat to other devices. At the same time, the circulation water pipe discharges the water after using the waste heat to the refrigerator for cooling.

[0009] Preferably, the position where the drain head enters the pool body is triangular, and holes for discharging the water at the water exchange partition position are opened at one side of the triangle.

[0010] Preferably, the water spraying and cooling mechanism includes a water pump fixed on the angle steel placed on the pool body, a water distributor connected to the pipeline at the water outlet of the water pump, a nozzle rack connected to the water distributor, and a plurality of nozzles provided on the inner wall of the nozzle rack.

[0011] Preferably, the other mechanism includes a slot provided in the pool body, a filter box slidably installed in the slot, and an isolation plug board that slidably installs in the chute provided between the pool body and the isolation board and isolates the filter box from the cooling partition.

[0012] Advantages of the present invention: 1. The number and size of the blades provided outside the first rotating wheel, the second rotating wheel, the third rotating wheel, and the fourth rotating wheel are different, and decrease in turn from top to bottom. When the first rotating wheel, the second rotating wheel, the third rotating wheel, and the fourth rotating wheel rotate, they drive the water at different levels to show different flow rates; according to the rising speed of the water temperature in different water layers, different flow rates are used for cooling different water layers. At this time, the steel can be quickly cooled and quenched, and compared with the working method of the same speed of water flow in different water layers, this method can save more energy; 2. When the steel passes through the position of the nozzle, the nozzle sprays water to cool the steel. After being cooled by spraying water, the steel enters the cooling partition position in the pool body and is immersed in the water placed in the cooling partition for quenching and cooling. The steel after being cooled by spraying water is easier to be quenched and cooled; 3. The circulation water pipe discharges the hot water in the pool body, and uses this hot water to supply heat to other devices. For example, flowing this hot water into the radiator to supply heat to the factory in winter can reduce the factory's demand for heating, make use of the waste heat, improve the utilization rate of energy, and prevent a large amount of energy waste.

Then, when the rotating wheel I 21, the rotating wheel II 22, the rotating wheel III 23, and the rotating wheel IV 24 rotate, the water at different levels shows different flow rates.

[0031] As shown in the embodiment Figure 3As shown in the figure, the external water circulation mechanism includes: a refrigerator 5, a circulating water pipe 6, a drain head 7, and a drain head socket 13; the refrigerator 5 is arranged outside the pool body 1, and at the same time, a pipeline connected to the pool body 1 is provided under the refrigerator 5 for transporting the cooled cooling water of the refrigerator 5 to the water storage area 4 in the pool body 1 for storage; the circulating water pipe 6 connects the refrigerator 5 and the drain head 7, and the circulating water pipe 6 discharges the hot water in the pool body 1 and uses this hot water to supply heat to other devices. For example, flowing this hot water into the radiator to supply heat to the factory in winter can reduce the factory's demand for heating. At the same time, the circulating water pipe 6 facilitates the discharge of the water after using the waste heat to the refrigerator 5 for cooling; the drain head 7 is inserted into the drain head socket 13, and the position where the drain head 7 enters the pool body 1 is triangular, and there are holes on one side of the triangle for discharging the water in the water exchange area 3. The drain head socket 13 is arranged on the side of the pool body 1 and is located at the position of the water exchange area 3.

[0032] As shown in the embodiment Figure 4 、 Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the water spraying and cooling mechanism includes: a water pump 8, a water distributor 9, a nozzle holder 10, and nozzles 11; the water pump 8 is fixedly installed on the angle steel placed on the pool body 1. At the same time, a pipeline is connected to the water inlet of the water pump 8, and the pipeline enters the water in the water storage area 4. A pipeline is connected to the water outlet position of the water pump 8, and this pipeline is connected to the water distributor 9; the water distributor 9 is fixedly installed on the angle steel placed on the pool body 1.

[0033] As shown in the embodiment Figures 6 - 8 As shown in the figure, the other mechanism includes: a slot 12, an isolation plug board 16, and a filter box 17; the slot 12 is arranged in the pool body 1 for installing the filter box 17, and at the same time, the slot 12 is located in the middle of the cooling area 2 and the water exchange area 3; the filter box 17 is slidably installed in the slot 12. The filter box 17 is used to block the slag and leave the slag on the filter box 17. As the filter box 17 is taken out, the slag is taken out; the isolation plug board 16 is slidably installed in the chute provided by the pool body 1 and the isolation board 14. The isolation plug board 16 is on the side of the filter box 17 facing the cooling area 2 and is at a certain distance from the filter box 17; when the filter box 17 needs to be taken out, the isolation plug board 16 is pressed down to isolate the filter box 17 from the cooling area 2 through the isolation plug board 16. At this time, the water in the cooling area 2 cannot flow through the filter box 17 into the water exchange area 3, which is convenient for taking out the filter box 17 and pouring out the slag.

[0034] Working principle: This device is used in the quenching process of the casting industry. When the steel for fasteners in fields such as automobiles and wind power needs to be cooled and quenched after casting, the steel is transported to the position of the cooling zone 2, and then the steel is lowered. When the steel passes through the position of the nozzle 11, the nozzle 11 sprays water to cool the steel. After being spray-cooled, the steel enters the position of the cooling zone 2 in the pool body 1 and is immersed in the water placed in the cooling zone 2 for quenching cooling. The steel after being spray-cooled is more likely to be quenched and cooled; When the steel is immersed in the water at the position of the cooling zone 2, the motor 18 starts to drive the bevel gear set 19, and then drives the power shaft 20, thereby driving the rotating wheel Ⅰ21, rotating wheel Ⅱ22, rotating wheel Ⅲ23, and rotating wheel Ⅳ24 to rotate. During the rotation of the rotating wheel Ⅰ21, rotating wheel Ⅱ22, rotating wheel Ⅲ23, and rotating wheel Ⅳ24, the water at the position of the cooling zone 2 is flowed into the water-changing zone 3 through the filter box 17 by the rotating wheel Ⅰ21, rotating wheel Ⅱ22, rotating wheel Ⅲ23, and rotating wheel Ⅳ24. Then, the water heated by the steel enters the drain head 7 through the holes provided on one side of the drain head 7, and then flows into the refrigerator 5 through the circulating water pipe 6 for cooling and then flows into the water storage zone 4; at the same time, during the rotation of the rotating wheel Ⅰ21, rotating wheel Ⅱ22, rotating wheel Ⅲ23, and rotating wheel Ⅳ24, water is drained out of the pool body 1 through the drain head 7, and the cooling water stored at the position of the water storage zone 4 also flows to the position of the water-changing zone 3 through the partition plate 14, and then flows back to the position of the cooling zone 2 to replace the water heated by the steel in the cooling zone 2; Moreover, the number and size of the blades provided outside the rotating wheel Ⅰ21, rotating wheel Ⅱ22, rotating wheel Ⅲ23, and rotating wheel Ⅳ24 are different, decreasing in sequence from top to bottom. Then, when the rotating wheel Ⅰ21, rotating wheel Ⅱ22, rotating wheel Ⅲ23, and rotating wheel Ⅳ24 rotate, the water at different levels presents different flow velocities. The water at the upper level has a longer contact time with the steel, and the water temperature rises faster. The water at this level is made to flow rapidly. The water at the middle and lower levels has a longer contact time with the steel, and the water temperature at this level rises slower. The water at this level does not need to flow rapidly; According to the rising speed of the water temperature of different water layers, different flow velocities are adopted for different water layers to cool down. At this time, the steel can be rapidly cooled and quenched, and this working method can save more energy compared with the working method of the same flow velocity of water at different levels; Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, for those of ordinary skill in the art, it can be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirits of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
