[0023] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments of the present invention without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] The embodiment of the present invention discloses a tool and method for carburizing and quenching locomotive gears.

[0025] Example 1 Reference Figures 1 to 7 , which is the first embodiment of the present invention, provides a tool and method for carburizing and quenching locomotive gears. The tool includes a carburizing chamber 1 for carburizing the gears. A quenching chamber 2 for quenching the gears is provided below the carburizing chamber 1. A clamping device 4 for limiting the movement of the gears and driven by a material taking device 3 is provided in the quenching chamber 2. A cooling device 5 for cooling the gears is provided above the carburizing chamber 1. The material taking device 3 includes a first push rod 301 fixedly mounted on the quenching chamber 2. A push plate 3011 is fixedly mounted on one end of the piston rod of the first push rod 301 extending into the quenching chamber 2. A push plate 3011 is fixedly mounted on the push plate 3011. There is a push ring seat 3012, in which a main rotating shaft 302 and a secondary rotating shaft 303 driven by a motor 304 are sleeved. One end of the main rotating shaft 302 protrudes from the secondary rotating shaft 303 and a first slider 3021 is fixedly installed above the secondary rotating shaft 303. The clamping device 4 includes a gear plate 401 located above the main rotating shaft 302, a rotating shaft seat 4011 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the gear plate 401, and one end of the main rotating shaft 302 extending outside the secondary rotating shaft 303 is fixedly installed in the rotating shaft seat 4011. The gear plate 401 is provided with adjustment grooves 4012 distributed in a ring array around the rotating shaft seat 4011. The first push rod 301 can drive the push plate 3011 and the push ring seat 3012 by extending the piston rod, and move the gear from the carburizing chamber 1 to the quenching chamber 2 or take it out from the carburizing chamber 1. The push plate 3011 can drive the push ring seat 3012 to move synchronously with the extension of the piston rod. The main shaft 302 can move axially along the secondary shaft 303 through the first slider 3021, and at the same time maintain synchronous movement with the push ring seat 3012 under the restriction of the first slider 3021, completing the transfer of the locomotive gear on the gear plate 401 of the shaft seat 4011 connected to the main shaft 302.

[0026] In a specific embodiment, a second slider 3022 parallel to the first slider 3021 is fixedly installed at one end of the main rotating shaft 302 located in the secondary rotating shaft 303. The main rotating shaft 302 is slidably connected to the secondary rotating shaft 303 through the first slider 3021 and the second slider 3022, and the secondary rotating shaft 303 is clearance-matched with the push ring seat 3012. When the main rotating shaft 302 protrudes from the secondary rotating shaft 303, it can be prevented from detaching from the secondary rotating shaft 303 by the second slider 3022.

[0027] Preferably, a first slide groove 3031 for limiting the movement of the first slider 3021 is provided on the secondary shaft 303, and a second slide groove 3032 for limiting the movement of the second slider 3022 is provided inside the secondary shaft 303. The motor 304 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the quenching chamber 2, and the output shaft of the motor 304 is transmission-connected to the end of the secondary shaft 303 protruding from the quenching chamber 2. The main shaft 302 can rotate synchronously with the secondary shaft 303 driven by the motor 304 in the pusher ring seat 3012, thereby driving the gear plate 401 to rotate, thereby drying the residual quenching oil on the locomotive gear, and through the movement of the first slider 3021 and the second slider 3022 in the first slide groove 3031 and the second slide groove 3032, the stability of the main shaft 302 during rotation and movement is further ensured.

[0028] Furthermore, a clamping block 402 that is adapted to the adjustment groove 4012 is slidably connected to the gear plate 401, and one end of the clamping block 402 extending to the outside of the gear plate 401 is threadedly connected to an adjusting screw 4021, and the adjusting screw 4021 passes through one end of the clamping block 402 and extends to the rotating shaft seat 4011. The clamping block 402 can slide in the adjustment groove 4012 through the adjusting screw 4021 to clamp the gear and ensure the stability of the gear during the quenching process.

[0029] Specifically, a gear column 403 is fixedly installed on the end of the gear plate 401 away from the rotating shaft seat 4011, and the clamping blocks 402 are distributed in a ring array around the gear column 403. A positioning seat 4031 is fixedly installed on the end of the gear column 403 away from the gear plate 401. The gear column 403 is used to support the gear, ensure the stability of the gear during rotation, and ensure that the locomotive gear is always at the center of the gear plate 401.

[0030] Furthermore, the carburizing chamber 1 is provided with carburizing nozzles 101 distributed in a circular array, and the quenching chamber 2 is also provided with injection ports and drain ports for filling and discharging quenching oil. The carburizing chamber 1 is used to carburize the gears and can evenly spray the carburizing medium onto the gear surface to ensure that the gear surface reaches the required carbon content. The quenching chamber 2 completes the filling and discharge of the quenching oil through the injection port and drain port to ensure smooth quenching of the gears.

[0031] Furthermore, the cooling device 5 includes a cooling chamber 501 located above the carburizing chamber 1. The cooling chamber 501 is also provided with cooling nozzles 5011 distributed in a ring array. One end of the cooling nozzle 5011 extends into the carburizing chamber 1. The cooling chamber 501 is also provided with a positioning hole 5012 corresponding to the positioning seat 4031. The positioning hole 5012 is used to cooperate with the positioning seat 4031 to ensure the precise position of the gear during the cooling process, and is used to spray coolant onto the gear surface through the cooling nozzle 5011 to ensure uniform cooling of the gear during the cooling process.

[0032] Specifically, a side ear portion 502 is fixedly installed on the outside of the cooling chamber 501, and a second push rod 503 distributed parallel to the first push rod 301 is fixedly installed on the outside of the quenching chamber 2. The piston rod of the second push rod 503 is fixedly connected to the side ear portion 502. The second push rod 503 can push the cooling chamber 501 connected to the side ear portion 502 by extending the piston rod to complete the opening and closing with the carburizing chamber 1 under the restriction of the sliding rod, so that it can be quickly moved to the top of the locomotive gear located on the gear plate 401 for cooling treatment when needed.

[0033] During the carburizing and quenching process of a locomotive gear, the locomotive gear to be processed is placed on the gear plate 401, and the gear column 403 is used to ensure that the locomotive gear is always in the center of the gear plate 401. By rotating the adjusting screw 4021, the corresponding clamping block 402 slides in the adjusting groove 4012, and the gear is fixed on the gear plate 401, ensuring the stability of the gear during the carburizing process to meet the clamping requirements of locomotive gears with different gears. The locomotive gear connected to the gear plate 401 via the shaft seat 4011 and the main shaft 302 is transferred to the carburizing chamber 1 by the piston rod of the first push rod 301. The carburizing nozzle 101 in the carburizing chamber 1 starts working, evenly spraying carburizing medium onto the gear surface to achieve the required carbon content on the gear surface. The carburizing process is carried out in the carburizing chamber 1 to ensure uniform carburization of the gear at high temperature. As the carburizing treatment is completed, the piston rod of the first push rod 301 drives the push plate 3011 and the push ring seat 3012 to move axially along the secondary rotating shaft 303. The main rotating shaft 302 is restricted by the first slider 3021 and descends along with the push ring seat 3012 due to gravity, so that the gear is moved from the carburizing chamber 1 to the quenching chamber 2. After the gear enters the quenching chamber 2, quenching oil is added to the quenching chamber 2 through the liquid filling port to quickly cool the gear. After quenching is completed, the quenching oil is discharged through the liquid discharge port. As the piston rod of the first push rod 301 extends, the main rotating shaft 302 is pushed out from the secondary rotating shaft 303. The second slider 3022 moves in the second slide groove 3032 to prevent it from disengaging. Without manual operation, the locomotive gear can be removed from the quenching oil. At the same time, the motor 304 drives the secondary rotating shaft 303, which in turn drives the main rotating shaft 302 and the gear plate 401 to rotate, thereby drying the residual quenching oil on the gear. When rapid cooling is required, the piston rod of the second push rod 503 drives the side ear 502, so that the cooling chamber 501 is restricted by the sliding rod and moves closer to the carburizing chamber 1 and moves above the gear. The cooling nozzle 5011 in the cooling chamber 501 sprays coolant onto the gear surface, quickly lowering the temperature of the gear and reducing the impact of thermal stress on the gear. The positioning hole 5012 cooperates with the positioning seat 4031 to ensure the precise position of the gear during the cooling process.

[0034] To achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention further provides a method for carburizing and quenching a locomotive gear, wherein the locomotive gear carburizing and quenching tool is used to perform carburizing and quenching, and the method comprises the following steps: Step 1: Place the locomotive gear on the gear plate 401, ensure the gear is centered by the gear column 403, and use the adjusting screw 4021 to drive the clamping block 402 to fix the gear; Step 2: The gear plate 401 and the gear are moved to the carburizing chamber 1 by the first push rod 301, and the carburizing nozzle 101 starts working to evenly spray the carburizing medium; Step 3: After carburizing is completed, the first push rod 301 pushes the push plate 3011 and the push ring seat 3012 to move the gear from the carburizing chamber 1 to the quenching chamber 2; Step 4: In the quenching chamber 2, quenching oil is added through the filling port for rapid cooling. After completion, the quenching oil is drained through the drain port. Subsequently, the first push rod 301 removes the gear from the quenching oil, and the motor 304 drives the auxiliary shaft 303 to dry the residual oil on the gear. Step 5: The second push rod 503 pushes the cooling chamber 501 to move above the gear, and the cooling nozzle 5011 sprays coolant for rapid cooling. The positioning hole 5012 cooperates with the positioning seat 4031 to ensure the accurate position of the gear.
