DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0018] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0019] Example: Please refer to Figures 1-6 , a stress-relieving annealing device for stainless steel thin plates, comprising a base 1 and an annealing box 2 installed on the top of the base 1. An inlet 4 is opened at one end of the annealing box 2, and an outlet 5 is opened at the other end of the annealing box 2. Inside the annealing box 2, a preheating zone 6, a heating-up zone 7, a heat-preservation zone 8, and a cooling zone 9 are sequentially arranged from the direction of the inlet 4 to the outlet 5. The stainless steel thin plate is placed on the tops of two support bars 10 through the inlet 4 and preheated in the preheating zone 6. During the preheating process, the stainless steel thin plate is gradually moved towards the heating-up zone 7 by the lifting and conveying mechanism. After the stainless steel thin plate enters the heating-up zone 7, it starts to heat the stainless steel thin plate to the set temperature, and at the same time, the stainless steel thin plate is gradually moved towards the heat-preservation zone 8. After the stainless steel enters the heat-preservation zone 8, heat preservation treatment is carried out on the stainless steel thin plate to keep the stainless steel thin plate at the set temperature, and at the same time, the stainless steel thin plate is gradually moved towards the cooling zone 9. After the stainless steel thin plate enters the cooling zone 9, it starts to cool naturally, and at the same time, the stainless steel thin plate is gradually moved towards the outlet 5 and finally discharged from the outlet 5.

[0020] It further includes: A support mechanism, which is arranged inside the annealing box 2 and is used to support the stainless steel thin plate. The support mechanism includes two support bars 10 arranged inside the annealing box 2 along the length direction of the annealing box 2 and a plurality of columns 11 fixedly connected to the bottom of the support bars 10. The bottom ends of the columns 11 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the bottom of the annealing box 2. The stainless steel thin plate is placed on the tops of the two support bars 10. A limiting block can be arranged at the top of the support bar 10 close to the inlet 4. When the staff places the stainless steel thin plate on the top of the support bar 10, one side of the stainless steel thin plate abuts against the limiting block, so as to ensure the spacing between the stainless steel thin plates. When driving the stainless steel thin plate to move upward, the lower edge of the stainless steel thin plate after upward movement is higher than the upper edge of the limiting block.

[0021] Lifting and conveying mechanism, which includes a plurality of linkage blocks 3, a lifting component for driving the lifting of the linkage blocks 3, and a displacement component for driving the displacement of the linkage blocks 3. The lifting component includes a plurality of cylinders 12 installed inside the base 1, a lifting plate 13 installed at the extended ends of the plurality of cylinders 12, and a plurality of linkage rods 14 arranged at the top of the lifting plate 13; the top ends of the plurality of linkage rods 14 all extend into the annealing box 2 and are respectively fixedly connected to the bottoms of the plurality of linkage blocks 3; a through groove is formed along the length direction at the bottom of the annealing box 2, and a telescopic curtain 15 is installed inside the through groove, and the linkage rods 14 penetrate through the telescopic curtain 15. The displacement component includes a first lead screw 16 rotatably connected inside the base 1, a plurality of sliders 28 threadedly connected to the outside of the first lead screw 16, and a first motor 17 installed on the outer wall of one side of the base 1; the plurality of sliders 28 are respectively sleeved on the outside of the plurality of linkage rods 14, and the linkage rods 14 can lift and rotate inside the sliders 28; the output end of the first motor 17 is fixedly connected to one end of the first lead screw 16; a first guide rod 18 is also fixedly connected inside the base 1, and the plurality of sliders 28 are all slidably sleeved on the outside of the first guide rod 18; When it is necessary to drive the stainless steel sheet to move to the left, first control the plurality of cylinders 12 to drive the lifting plate 13 to move upward, and then drive the plurality of linkage rods 14 to move upward synchronously. When the bottom of the linkage block 3 contacts the bottom of the stainless steel sheet, start driving the stainless steel sheet to move upward to separate from the support bar 10. Then control the first motor 17 to drive the first lead screw 16 to rotate clockwise, driving the plurality of sliders 28 to move leftward along the outer wall of the first guide rod 18. The distance that the sliders 28 move leftward is the center distance between two linkage rods 14. Then control the cylinders 12 to drive the lifting plate 13 to move downward and reset, so as to drive the stainless steel sheet to move downward and reset through the linkage rods 14 and the linkage blocks 3. The linkage block 3 disengages from the stainless steel sheet, so that the stainless steel sheet falls back onto the top of the support bar 10 after moving to the left. Then control the first motor 17 to drive the first lead screw 16 to rotate counterclockwise, driving the plurality of sliders 28 to move rightward and reset, and the linkage rods 14 and the linkage blocks 3 move rightward and reset accordingly.

[0022] Linkage adjustment mechanism, which is arranged inside the base 1 and is used to drive the rotation of the linkage block 3 when the linkage block 3 is displaced. The linkage adjustment mechanism includes a sliding sleeve 19 slidably sleeved on the outside of the linkage rod 14, a gear 20 fixedly sleeved on the outside of the sliding sleeve 19, and a rack 21 arranged inside the base 1. A key groove is formed on the outer wall of the linkage rod 14, and a key pin is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding sleeve 19. The key pin is slidably connected inside the key groove; the plurality of gears 20 are all meshed with the rack 21, and the top end of the sliding sleeve 19 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the slider 28; During the process of the slider 28 driving the linkage rod 14 to move leftward, through the meshing between the gear 20 and the rack 21, the sliding sleeve 19 and the linkage rod 14 are driven to rotate by 90°. Furthermore, the stainless steel thin plate is driven to rotate by 90° through the linkage block 3. Thus, when the stainless steel thin plate falls back onto the top of the support bar 10, the contact position between the stainless steel thin plate and the support bar 10 can be changed, making the preheating speed of the stainless steel thin plate more uniform inside the preheating zone 6, the heating speed more uniform inside the heating zone 7, the heat preservation temperature more uniform inside the heat preservation zone 8, and the cooling speed more uniform inside the cooling zone 9.

[0023] A chute 22 is formed along the length direction at the top of the lifting plate 13. The bottom end of the linkage rod 14 is rotatably connected with a driven block 23, and the driven block 23 is slidably connected inside the chute 22. When the linkage rod 14 moves leftward or rightward, it drives the driven block 23 to move synchronously along the inner wall of the chute 22. When the air cylinder 12 drives the lifting plate 13 to lift or lower, the linkage rod 14 is driven to lift or lower synchronously through the driven block 23.

[0024] The active adjustment mechanism is arranged inside the base 1 and is used to drive the linkage block 3 to rotate. The active adjustment mechanism includes a second lead screw 24 rotatably connected inside the base 1 and a second motor 25 installed on the outer wall of the other side of the base 1; the rack 21 is slidably connected inside the base 1 and penetrates through the base 1; the output end of the second motor 25 is fixedly connected with one end of the second lead screw 24; a driving block 26 is threadedly connected to the outside of the second lead screw 24, and the driving block 26 is fixedly connected with the rack 21; a second guide rod 27 is also fixedly connected inside the base 1, and the driving block 26 is slidably sleeved on the outside of the second guide rod 27. After controlling a plurality of air cylinders 12 to drive the lifting plate 13 to move upward and driving the stainless steel thin plate to separate from the support bar 10 through the linkage rod 14 and the linkage block 3, by controlling the second motor 25 to drive the second lead screw 24 to rotate clockwise, the driving block 26 is driven to move leftward along the outside of the second guide rod 27, and the rack 21 moves synchronously. Through the meshing between the rack 21 and the gear 20, the sliding sleeve 19 and the linkage rod 14 are driven to rotate by 90°. Then, control the air cylinder 12 to drive the stainless steel thin plate to move downward and fall onto the top of the support bar 10. Thus, even when the stainless steel thin plate is not driven to move, the contact position between the stainless steel thin plate and the support bar 10 can be adjusted. After the stainless steel thin plate falls onto the top of the support bar 10, control the second motor 25 to drive the second lead screw 24 to rotate counterclockwise, driving the driving block 26 and the rack 27 to move rightward to reset. Repeat the above operations. During two adjacent movements of the stainless steel thin plate, the contact position between the stainless steel thin plate and the support bar 10 is adjusted multiple times, also making the heating, heat preservation, and heat dissipation of the stainless steel thin plate uniform inside each zone. At the same time, it can also prevent the stainless steel thin plate from contacting the support bar at the same position for a long time and prevent the problem of adhesion between the stainless steel thin plate and the support bar.
