Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of metal alloy steel, and in particular to a formula of a multifunctional ratchet joint material for furniture and a manufacturing process thereof. Background Art
[0002] In household power chairs, movable elements are arranged between the side parts of the main body. These include, for example: a seat that can be adjusted in inclination and longitudinally; a backrest that can be adjusted in inclination and also in height; and a footrest that can be constructed in one or more parts and can be pivoted into and out of different positions. To electrically implement these movement possibilities, the power chair has a drive element in the form of a motor / gear unit, fixed to a frame part (fixed between the side arms of the main body). A tube extends from the drive element, and a drive element (e.g., a threaded spindle) is rotatably held in the tube. The threaded spindle drives an adjustment slide, moving it forward or backward along the tube in the direction of the seat. Components of an adjustment mechanism (e.g., an adjustment lever or the like) are articulated or fixed to the adjustment slide, which enables the movement of the movable elements of the power chair.
[0003] Existing threaded spindles are typically equipped with a ratchet joint component that is rotatably connected to the adjustment slider. However, over time or when subjected to significant forces, these ratchet joints can experience quality issues such as tooth slippage and deformation, leading to low wear resistance. Therefore, further improvements to the existing technology are necessary. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0015] The following is a further description of specific embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the description of these embodiments is intended to facilitate understanding of the present invention and does not constitute a limitation of the present invention. In addition, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of the present invention described below may be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0016] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential" and the like to indicate orientations or positional relationships based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as limiting the present invention.
[0017] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of the technical features being referred to. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one such feature. In the description of the present invention, "plurality" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise specifically defined.
[0018] The chemical composition of the multifunctional ratchet joint material for furniture, by weight, is as follows: C: 0.48% to 0.54%, Si: 0.21% to 0.25%, Mn: 0.61% to 0.65%, P: 0.011% to 0.015%, S: 0.002% to 0.008%, Cr: 0.13% to 0.19%, Ni: 0.01% to 0.05%, Cu: 0.02% to 0.06%, with the remainder being Fe and unavoidable impurities. As can be understood, C is the most economical, fundamental, and effective strengthening element in steel, significantly enhancing its strength through solid solution strengthening and precipitation strengthening. However, excessive carbon content adversely affects the product's impact toughness, weldability, and hardness. Therefore, the present invention controls the carbon content to 0.48% to 0.54%. Si: A deoxidizing element that dissolves in ferrite to increase the steel's strength, but at the expense of ductility and toughness. The Si content in this invention is controlled to 0.21% to 0.25%. Mn: Manganese has a solid solution strengthening effect and can also lower the γ-α transformation temperature, thereby refining the ferrite grains. It is the most important and economical strengthening element, compensating for the strength loss caused by reduced C content. High manganese promotes the nucleation of acicular ferrite. A high Mn / C ratio can improve the steel's yield strength and impact toughness, lower the ductile-brittle transition temperature, refine the size of carbonitride precipitation, and promote precipitation strengthening. However, excessively high manganese content leads to severe segregation, which can easily result in high localized hardness values. Therefore, the manganese content in this invention is controlled to 0.61% to 0.65%. Cr: Effectively improves hardenability, inhibits the formation of polygonal ferrite and pearlite, and promotes the formation of ferrite or bainite with a large intragranular dislocation distribution in the medium and low temperature ranges. P and S: These are unavoidable impurity elements in steel. The lower the content, the better. However, excessively low levels increase production costs. Cr can significantly improve the tensile strength of the product, but also significantly increase the hardness, so it is not advisable to add too much. The chromium content of the present invention is controlled to be 0.13% to 0.19%. The present invention controls the mass fraction of Ni to be 0.01% to 0.05%, which has the positive effect: within the range of this mass fraction, its function is to increase the solubility of Cu, and at the same time, internal oxidation occurs to produce an irregular oxidation interface, inducing copper enrichment to migrate from the interface to the oxide layer, thereby inhibiting Cu enrichment and reducing surface defects. However, since Ni is expensive, considering its economic efficiency, it is not advisable to add too much. The present invention controls the mass fraction of Cu to be 0.02% to 0.06%, which has the positive effect: within this mass fraction range, the Cu element can generate refined Cu precipitates with precipitation strengthening effect, which is beneficial to ensure the strength of the steel.
