AI Technical Summary
When processing complex workpieces, traditional carburizing furnaces have poor gas flow in recessed areas, resulting in uneven carburizing. Furthermore, extending the carburizing time can lead to an excessively deep carburized layer on the surface.
The system employs a core-pulling electronic air system, utilizing a high-voltage power supply and an electronic air delivery unit. Multiple core-pulling electrodes are used to form a directional flow of ion air, which forces the gas into the recessed area and discharges the waste gas. An uneven high-voltage electric field is established to accelerate the airflow and form a high-speed jet, thereby achieving uniform carburizing of complex workpieces.
It improves the uniformity of the carburized layer and the carburizing rate, shortens the process cycle, reduces gas consumption, and is suitable for flexible processing of different workpieces.

TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of heat treatment, in particular to a core-pulling type electronic air system suitable for carburizing furnace. BACKGROUND
[0002] The carburizing furnace is a heat treatment equipment for surface chemical heat treatment of metal workpieces, which increases the carbon content of the surface layer of the workpiece by infiltrating active carbon atoms on the surface of the workpiece, thereby significantly improving the surface hardness and wear resistance of the workpiece, while maintaining good plasticity and toughness of the core of the workpiece.
[0003] In use, the workpieces to be treated are sent into the carburizing furnace on the carburizing furnace loading support, ensuring that there is a proper gap between the workpieces for gas circulation, the furnace door is sealed, heating is started, the furnace temperature is raised to the carburizing temperature (usually 920-930°C) and stabilized, and then propane is introduced into the furnace. A large number of active carbon atoms are generated by the decomposition of propane, which continuously infiltrate the surface of the workpiece and diffuse inward to form a carburized layer.
[0004] During the operation of the traditional carburizing furnace, the gas flowability of the recessed parts (including deep holes, narrow slits, and recessed parts) of the workpiece is very poor, and fresh active carbon atoms cannot be supplied in time. At the same time, hydrogen (H2) and other gases generated by the decomposition reaction will accumulate in the recesses. These waste gases will inhibit the continuation of the carburizing reaction, resulting in shallow carburized layer, low hardness or even no carburizing in the recessed parts of the workpiece, affecting the heat treatment effect.
[0005] In order to solve the above problems, the carburizing time is extended, but this will cause the problem of over-deep carburized layer on the exposed surface area. SUMMARY
[0006] This section is intended to summarize some aspects of the embodiments of the present application and briefly introduce some preferred embodiments. Some simplifications or omissions may be made in this section and the abstract and title of the specification to avoid obscuring the purpose of this section, abstract and title, and such simplifications or omissions cannot be used to limit the scope of the present application.

[0018] The large end of the tungsten needle is located in the closing structure, and the small end of the tungsten needle is located outside the closing structure;
[0019] A gap for gas flow between the inside of the closing structure and the outside of the tungsten needle is called a guide gap;
[0020] The closing structure and the tungsten needle form a core-pulling structure;
[0021] The tungsten needle has a tapered part gradually tapering from the large end to the small end, and the tapered part is partially located in the through opening and partially located outside the through opening, the taper angle of the tapered part is not greater than the taper angle of the closing structure, thereby forming a fluid directional acceleration mechanism;
[0022] The negative electrode of the high-voltage power supply is connected to the carburizing furnace loading support, and the workpiece to be treated is fixed as the air supply negative electrode.

[0062] The negative electrode of the high-voltage power supply is connected to the carburizing furnace loading support, and the to-be-processed workpiece itself is used as the air supply negative electrode.
[0063] In this embodiment, the electronic wind system is arranged in the carburizing furnace body 1, the air supply positive electrode and the air supply negative electrode form a high-voltage electric field, ionize the propane in the carburizing furnace, form a directional flow of ion wind towards the recessed part of the to-be-processed workpiece, and forcibly make the high-temperature carburizing gas enter the recessed part of the to-be-processed workpiece, while carrying out the waste gas with reduced activity, so that the carburizing reaction can continue and be efficient, the surface of the to-be-processed workpiece is uniformly carburized, and compared with the traditional process, the process cycle is shortened or a thicker carburizing layer is obtained in the same time.
[0064] The core-pulling electrode 4 constitutes an efficient fluid directional acceleration mechanism, and the rear end of the hollow tube is provided with a flared opening to improve the gas flow rate of the gas entering the hollow tube. The gas entering the hollow tube will be further accelerated when passing through the gradually narrowing guide gap, thereby enhancing the penetration and directionality of the gas flow, making the gas flow have the advantages of strong directionality, concentrated energy, and difficulty in diffusion, and can more effectively penetrate into the deepest part of the recessed part of the workpiece, further improving the uniformity of carburizing on the surface of the workpiece.
[0065] The air supply negative electrode is connected to the carburizing furnace loading support, so that the to-be-processed workpiece on the carburizing furnace loading support itself serves as a large-area air supply negative electrode, cooperates with the small-range air supply positive electrode, establishes a non-uniform high-voltage electric field, and makes the recessed part of the to-be-processed workpiece as the place with the highest electric field strength.
