[0016] (3) The controller of the present invention uses real-time feedback data from temperature and liquid level sensors to dynamically adjust the heating power, coolant flow rate and circulating air fan speed to form an automated closed-loop control. Each module (heating, sensing, cooling) is integrated into the processing box and cooperates with the conveyor belt to achieve full process automation, reducing manual intervention and energy consumption. The automatic water replenishment system reduces resource waste, and the exhaust fan optimizes equipment heat dissipation.

[0022] A preferred embodiment of a centralized quenching device for bolt processing provided by the present invention is as follows: Figure 1-5 Figure 2 shows a centralized quenching device for bolt processing, comprising a processing box 21, a conveyor belt frame 22, and a controller 23.

The heating liquid heats up rapidly to ensure that the bolts are heated evenly. At this time, the electric heating wire 47 accurately adjusts the temperature through the thermostat, and the heating liquid circulates to maintain a constant temperature environment, thereby ensuring that the bolts are heat treated at a constant temperature and improving their mechanical properties. Example
[0024] See also Figure 1-Figure 5, and on the basis of Example 1, it is further obtained that: the induction heating device 5 includes an induction heating chamber 51 adapted to the receiving box 24, and high-frequency induction heating components 52 are provided on both sides of the outside of the induction heating chamber 51. The high-frequency induction heating components 52 specifically include hemispherical metal hollow covers 521 connected and installed on both sides of the outside of the induction heating chamber 51. The metal hollow cover 521 is provided with a vent, and an inverted cone-shaped air return cover 522 is installed at the vent. The inner wall of the air return cover 522 is coated with a magnetic material to make it have magnetic responsiveness, so that Tiny iron filings in the outside air are adsorbed to prevent them from entering the induction heating chamber 51. The air backflow cover 522 is equipped with a circulating air fan 527. The circulating air fan 527 adjusts its speed through the controller 23 to ensure smooth air circulation. The side wall of the metal hollow cover 521 is equipped with a metal light strip 523. The metal light strip 523 is connected to the controller 23 through a wire to achieve light-heat conversion and enhance the heating effect. A semi-open heat insulation cover 524 is installed between the metal light strips 523. The heat insulation cover 524 effectively blocks heat dissipation and improves thermal efficiency. A base barrel 525 is provided, and the base barrel 525 is installed on the top wall of the metal hollow cover 521 outside the air backflow cover 522. The outer wall of the base barrel 525 is evenly wound with multiple turns of induction coil 526. The coil is connected to the controller 23 through a high-frequency power supply to ensure that the high-frequency oscillation of the coil generates a uniform magnetic field and the material in the base barrel is heated evenly; the induction coil 526 is provided with a temperature sensing probe to monitor the temperature change in the base barrel in real time, and the data is fed back to the controller 23. The controller 23 dynamically adjusts the heating power according to the feedback data. A cross-shaped induction coil 526 is installed at the bottom of the base barrel 525. The fork-shaped vibration spring bar 528 has strong permanent magnets 529 installed at equal intervals on it. The strong permanent magnets 529 work together with the induction coil 526 to form a strong magnetic field, generate eddy current effect, accelerate the movement of material molecules, and improve heating efficiency. The unique design of the vibration spring bar 528 can effectively disperse the magnetic field intensity, avoid local overheating, and ensure that the material is heated evenly. Under the action of the circulating air fan 527, air circulation and magnetic field effects complement each other, further optimizing the heating environment. The hot air forms an airflow in the induction heating chamber, further promoting uniform heating of the bolts.
[0025] When in use, first put the bolts to be quenched into the receiving box 24, start the controller 23, and transport the receiving box 24 to the heating chamber 41 through the conveyor belt on the conveyor belt rack 22. By starting the water pump in the heating water tank 45, the heating liquid is evenly transported to the external heating pipe 42 and sprayed into the heating chamber 41 through the heating nozzle 43. The heating liquid heats up quickly to ensure that the bolts are heated evenly. At this time, the electric heating wire 47 accurately adjusts the temperature through the thermostat, and the heating liquid circulates to maintain a constant temperature environment, thereby ensuring that the bolts are heat treated at a constant temperature. After the bolts are preheated to the set temperature, they are transported to the induction heating chamber 51, and the controller 23 starts the induction coil 526. The high-frequency magnetic field quickly penetrates the bolts, and the inside of the bolts is heated. The lattice structure of the bolt changes. When the bolt is placed in a magnetic field, a closed eddy current is induced. The magnetocaloric effect is significant, and the temperature rises rapidly to the quenching requirement. The high-frequency current forms a dense current layer on the metal surface, and the current density decays. A uniform hardened layer is formed on the surface of the bolt, and the interior maintains toughness and the structure is optimized. The controller 23 monitors the temperature in real time to ensure that the bolt is processed at the optimal quenching temperature. It is then transported to the cooling chamber 52, where the coolant is sprayed rapidly, the surface temperature of the bolt drops sharply, the internal stress is released, and a high-strength hardened layer is formed. The cooling is uniform, the surface finish of the bolt is improved, the internal structure is stable, and the overall performance is significantly enhanced. After the cooling process is completed, the bolt is sent to the inspection area via a conveyor belt, and the inspection equipment conducts a comprehensive inspection of the bolt.
