Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to the quenching technical field, in particular to a quenching device and method for stainless steel pipe machining. BACKGROUND

[0002] The quenching device for stainless steel pipe machining is an equipment for rapid cooling heat treatment of stainless steel pipes, aiming to improve the hardness, strength and wear resistance of the steel pipes through rapid cooling (such as water, oil or gas medium) after high-temperature heating; modern devices usually adopt automatic design to improve efficiency, such as realizing continuous feeding and discharging through a rotary bearing filter frame, or reducing manual intervention by combining with a transmission roller and an automatic discharging mechanism; some devices also integrate temperature control systems (such as infrared sensors) and remote monitoring functions to optimize quenching process parameters and avoid the influence of water temperature rise on cooling effect; in addition, for different materials (such as 304 or 316L stainless steel pipes), the device may adopt graded quenching, vacuum oil quenching or gas quenching technology to reduce deformation and surface defects; overall, such devices take into account efficiency, precision and operation convenience through mechanical structure and process innovation.

[0003] For example, the prior art with publication number CN117210670 discloses an immersion quenching cooling device for continuous pipes, which comprises a quenching mechanism and a quenching cooling box, and further comprises a settling water tank and a quenching tank base; the settling water tank is arranged below the quenching tank base, the quenching tank base is provided with a quenching tank lifting mechanism, the quenching cooling box is supported by the quenching tank lifting mechanism and can displace up and down, an integral pipe lifting mechanism is arranged above the quenching cooling box, the integral pipe lifting mechanism bears the quenching assembly and can drive the quenching assembly to adjust the height within the range of the quenching cooling box. The present application can realize online quenching of the whole continuous pipe.

[0004] Temperature control of quenching oil is a key parameter in heat treatment process, which directly affects the cooling speed, hardness and deformation degree of workpieces. The following is a specific analysis of the temperature requirements of quenching oil, which combines the specifications of different quenching oil types and application scenarios: General temperature range: the use temperature of quenching oil is usually controlled between 20℃~80℃, but it needs to be adjusted according to the type of oil and process requirements.

[0005] Both too high and too low temperatures will affect the cooling performance: Too high temperature (such as >80℃): it will reduce the characteristic temperature of the oil (vapor film rupture temperature), resulting in a decrease in cooling capacity in the high-temperature zone, and accelerating the oxidation and deterioration of the oil.

[0006] Too low temperature (such as <20℃): the viscosity of the oil is too high, and the flowability is poor, which slows down the cooling speed and increases the loss of workpieces with oil.

[0007] In order to ensure that the quenching oil temperature is uniformly distributed, the prior art generally provides a stirring device in the inside of the quenching box, but there are defects: when the quenching parts are put into the quenching oil, the stirring device can only stir the oil around the parts, and the oil close to the parts cannot be effectively stirred, and the quenching oil temperature at this position will be significantly higher under the high temperature transmission of the parts, thus affecting the temperature requirement of quenching and reducing the physical properties of the parts.
