Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of heat treatment equipment, and particularly to an automated industrial heat treatment furnace and a hanging heat treatment furnace door system thereof. Background Art

[0002] Enclosed heat treatment furnaces are widely used due to their low energy consumption (less heat loss, more energy-saving and environmentally friendly) and good high-temperature stability (able to maintain a small temperature range fluctuation within the furnace for a long time).

[0003] In the prior art, an enclosed heat treatment furnace includes a loading system for carrying workpieces and a furnace door system for opening and closing the heat treatment furnace; the general structure of the loading system is a loading trolley; before heat treatment, the workpieces need to be placed on the loading trolley one by one, then the furnace door is opened and the loading trolley is pushed into the heat treatment furnace for processing. After the heat treatment is completed, the loading trolley is pulled out and the heat-treated workpieces are removed one by one.

[0004] In order to accommodate workpieces of different sizes, the box size of the enclosed heat treatment furnace is usually designed to be relatively large; during the use of this kind of heat treatment furnace, on the one hand, due to the large box size, even when the workpiece size is small, the entire furnace body needs to be heated, and the heating space cannot be flexibly adjusted according to the workpiece size, resulting in energy consumption and cost increase; in response to the above problems, the Chinese invention patent with the authorization publication number CN115341084B discloses a heat treatment furnace. The bottom of the furnace body of this heat treatment furnace is provided with a through opening, refractory heat insulation linings are provided on the four side walls and the top of the furnace body, and the heating device is arranged on the top of the furnace body; a lifting platform is located directly below the furnace body for the lifting of the trolley inside the furnace body, and when the trolley is lifted inside the furnace body, its edge is in clearance fit with the lining; a rangefinder is also arranged on the top of the furnace body to measure the distance between the upper surface of the trolley and the furnace top, and it can flexibly adjust the lifting height of the trolley according to the specific workpiece size without heating the entire furnace body, reducing the heat treatment energy consumption, optimizing the energy configuration, and reducing the energy consumption cost.

[0005] Although the above solution reduces the heat treatment energy consumption to a certain extent and thus reduces the energy consumption cost, its load-bearing capacity for heat-treated workpieces is poor, and the number of workpieces that can be processed at one time is small; moreover, the above solution requires the lifting platform to lift inside the furnace, and during the heat treatment process, a relatively high temperature is required inside the furnace, which causes the lifting platform inside the furnace to be easily damaged by heat, with a high failure rate, high maintenance cost, and relatively short service life, which is not conducive to popularization.

[0006] And in the prior art, the loading trolley for carrying workpieces needs to be manually dragged (with the help of hooks, etc.) or transported using a trolley and a tractor, etc. when entering and leaving the heat treatment furnace. The operation process is complex and even requires the heat treatment furnace to be cooled before the loading trolley can enter and exit, with low efficiency and time-consuming and laborious, which is not conducive to the automated progress of the heat treatment process.

[0007] Therefore, a heat treatment furnace is needed that has an efficient and convenient heat treatment process, a high degree of automation, a short time for the carrying trolley to enter and exit the furnace body, low energy consumption cost during the heat treatment process, good high-temperature stability, and a large number of workpieces that can be carried in the heat treatment furnace at a single time.

[0092] As Figure 13As shown, the central carrier 500 is a rigid square rod, horizontally arranged, located between the top door 210 and the bottom door 220, and independently moves up and down under the drive of the door suspension and lifting assembly 240; when the bottom of the top door 210 abuts against the top of the central carrier 500 and the bottom door 220 abuts against the bottom of the central carrier 500, the furnace opening is closed.

[0093] At positions near both ends of the top of the central carrier 500, a displacement motor 510 is respectively provided; the displacement motor 510 is longitudinally arranged, and a motor gear 511 is positioned on the output shaft at the top.
