[0015] The working principle and beneficial effects of the present application are as follows: 1. The mold steel mounting frame of the present application adopts dynamic support and self-resetting design: the mold steel mounting frame is composed of supporting rods, a rotatable horizontal plate, a bracket and a top rod. The top rod touches the turnover plate when entering and leaving the heating tank to realize automatic opening and closing. The horizontal plate automatically rotates with the position of the mold steel under the action of gravity to maintain the horizontal state of the mold steel. The cooperation of the top rod and the turnover plate realizes the automatic opening and closing of the heating tank inlet and outlet, reduces heat loss and improves the continuity of conveying. The dynamic rotation of the horizontal plate ensures that the mold steel always maintains a horizontal state during conveying and falling, avoiding the risk of uneven local cooling or falling caused by inclination, and improving process stability. 2. In the mold steel mounting frame design technology, the elastic lifting and precise receiving of the landing mechanism are matched: the landing mechanism is composed of a lifting plate, a lifting rod and a rake, and a reset spring provides elastic reset force. The rake teeth of the rake are shorter than the distance between the brackets, so that the mold steel can be accurately received when it is separated from the mounting frame. The elastic design of the reset spring makes the rake automatically descend and immerse in the cold liquid tank after receiving the mold steel, and automatically resets after quenching, reducing manual intervention. The size matching of the rake and the bracket ensures the smooth transfer of the mold steel from the mounting frame to the quenching tank, avoiding the risk of deformation caused by falling collision or mechanical grabbing, improving product performance and cooling efficiency. 3, The present application adopts transposition mechanism staggered tooth design and linkage conveying: the transposition mechanism adopts vertically staggered distribution of the tines of the supporting rake and the supporting rake, and the movement of the supporting rake is controlled by driving the lifting track and the I-shaped sliding block by the electric hydraulic device. The rack and pinion of the linkage mechanism is engaged, and the rack is designed with torsional spring to realize one-way transmission. The staggered tooth design enables the supporting rake to vertically pass through the gap between the supporting rakes, smoothly transferring the die steel from the quenching pool to the conveying frame, avoiding interference of the mechanism; the one-way transmission characteristics of the rack (the rack block can be turned over) ensure that the driving roller conveys the die steel when the supporting rake descends, and automatically disengages from the gear when it rises, and the driving rollers of the conveying frame are linked through chain transmission structure, and the adjacent chain transmissions are staggered. The driving gear of the linkage mechanism drives the first driving roller to rotate, and all the driving rollers are synchronized through the chain. The linkage mechanism converts the mechanical energy of the transposition mechanism into conveying power, realizes the automatic transportation of the quenched die steel, and reduces the energy consumption; 4, The device solves the problems of uneven cooling, low efficiency, high dependence on manual operation and easy wear of die steel in die steel quenching through the closed loop design of dynamic support → elastic quenching → staggered transfer → liquid cooling circulation → linkage conveying. The whole process automation of heating, quenching, cooling and transportation is realized by the cooperation of each mechanism, which significantly improves the production efficiency and product consistency.

[0024] Specifically, the die steel mounting rack 3 comprises two support rods 31 fixedly connected to the same chain plate, the upper sides of the two support rods 31 are rotatably connected with horizontal plates 32, the outer walls of the two horizontal plates 32 are fixedly connected with brackets 33, and the die steel is supported by the brackets 33, and the side wall of the support rod 31 is fixedly connected with a top rod 34 for abutting and turning the turnover plate 11.

[0030] Specifically, the transposition mechanism 6 comprises a connecting block 61 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the vertical frame 52, and an electric hydraulic device 62 fixedly installed at the bottom of the connecting block 61. The bottom end of the hydraulic rod of the electric hydraulic device 62 is fixedly connected with a lifting rail 65.
[0031] Specifically, a I-shaped sliding block 69 is slidingly connected to the inner side of the lifting rail 65, the bottom end of the I-shaped sliding block 69 is fixedly connected with a fixing seat 67, the inside of the fixing seat 67 is fixedly sleeved with a shaft rod 68, and the other end of the shaft rod 68 is connected with a top support rake 66. The rake teeth on the top support rake 66 and the rake teeth on the supporting rake 57 are staggered in the vertical direction.
[0032] Further, the transposition mechanism 6 further comprises a panel 63 fixedly connected to one side of the vertical frame 52, the outer wall of the panel 63 is provided with a rail groove 64, and the shaft rod 68 is slidingly penetrated into the inner side of the rail groove 64.
[0033] Specifically, the conveying frame 8 comprises a support frame 81 and a conveying frame 82 fixedly connected to the top of the support frame 81. The inner side of the conveying frame 82 is uniformly provided with rotating rollers 83, and chain transmission structures 84 are arranged between adjacent two rotating rollers 83. The adjacent two chain transmission structures 84 are staggered, the chain transmission structure 84 is arranged on the outer side of the conveying frame 82, and the chain transmission structure 84 comprises two sprockets and a chain connecting the two sprockets. The sprocket is coaxially fixedly connected with the rotating roller 83. The lower side of the rotating roller 83 located on one side of the panel 63 is supported by a top supporting piece 85. The top supporting piece 85 comprises a top supporting column 851 fixedly connected to the bottom of the cold liquid tank 4, a wheel frame 852 fixedly connected to the top end of the top supporting column 851, and two rotating wheels 853 rotatably connected to the inner side of the wheel frame 852 for supporting the rotating roller 83. The maximum distance between the two rotating wheels 853 is less than the diameter of the rotating roller 83.
[0034] Specifically, the linkage mechanism 7 comprises a rotating rod 71 fixedly connected to the end of one of the rotating rollers 83, the rotating rod 71 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the conveying frame 82, the other end of the rotating rod 71 is fixedly connected with a gear 72, one side of the fixing seat 67 is fixedly connected with a connecting plate 73, one end of the connecting plate 73 is fixedly connected with a rack 74 matched with the gear 72, the rack 74 comprises a toothed plate and a toothed block, the toothed block is rotatably connected with the toothed plate through a rotating shaft, and a torsional spring 75 is connected between the toothed plate and the toothed block located on the outer side of the rotating shaft.
[0035] In this embodiment, after the mold steel on the supporting rake 57 is cooled, the electric hydraulic device 62 is started, the hydraulic rod of the electric hydraulic device 62 is retracted, the lifting rail 65 is moved upward, the lifting rail 65 drives the shaft rod 68 to move upward in the rail groove 64 through the fixing seat 67, and the shaft rod 68 drives the top support rake 66 to move upward in the vertical direction through the I-shaped sliding block 69. Figure 6 and Figure 8, when the supporting rake 66 moves up, the tines on the supporting rake 66 and the supporting rake 57 are staggered, so that the supporting rake 66 supports the mold steel on the supporting rake 57 and moves up. With the upward movement of the lifting rail 65 by the electric hydraulic device 62, referring to Figure 10 Under the guidance of the rail groove 64, the I-shaped sliding block 69 can slide left and right inside the lifting rail 65.
[0036] In this embodiment, when the supporting rake 66 moves to the position as shown in Figure 9 With the continued downward movement of the supporting rake 66, the tines on the supporting rake 66 pass through the gap between the adjacent two rotating rollers 83, thereby placing the mold steel supported on the supporting rake 66 on the rotating rollers 83.
[0037] In this embodiment, with the continued downward movement of the supporting rake 66, i.e. the downward movement of the fixed seat 67 and the shaft 68, the fixed seat 67 drives the connecting plate 73 to move downward, the connecting plate 73 drives the gear 72 to rotate through the rack 74, the gear 72 drives one of the rotating rollers 83 to rotate through the rotating rod 71, all the rotating rollers 83 rotate synchronously in the same direction under the action of the chain transmission structure 84, and the mold steel is transported through the rotating rollers 83. Then, the supporting rake 66 is reset by the electric hydraulic device 62, and in this process, the rack 74 does not cause the gear 72 to rotate, the teeth on the rack 74 are flipped upward under the action of the rotating shaft, and once the rack 74 is staggered with the gear 72, the teeth on the rack 74 are flipped and reset under the action of the torsional spring 75.
[0038] Working principle and use process: First, place the mold steel to be processed between the two brackets 33 on the mold steel mounting frame 3, and transport it through the chain conveyor 2. Initially, when the mold steel mounting frame 3 enters and exits the inside of the heating box 1, the top rod 34 on the mold steel mounting frame 3 touches and flips the flip plate 11, so that the mold steel mounting frame 3 can smoothly enter and exit the inside of the heating box 1. The mold steel is heated by the electric heating rod and other heating equipment installed inside the heating box 1, and under the action of gravity, the flip plate 11 tilted by flipping can restore to the vertical state. It should be noted that the heating box 1 of the present application can be regarded as a heating module. In actual production and processing, the heating box 1 is relatively long (it can heat multiple groups of mold steel on the mold steel mounting frame 3 at the same time), and only a small amount of heat is lost during the entry and exit of the device, which does not have a substantial impact on the processing work. In actual operation, a local protective atmosphere zone can be formed by continuously introducing inert gas (such as nitrogen) into the inlet and outlet areas during the short period when the flip plate 11 is opened, effectively isolating air and reducing oxidation. This improvement does not change the core structure of the present application and is prior art, which will not be described in detail.
[0039] When the mold steel heating on the mold steel mounting frame 3 is completed and transported out from the inside of the heating box 1, the chain plate conveyor 2 continues to transport the mold steel mounting frame 3, see Figure 4 and Figure 5 Under the action of the bracket 33 and the gravity of the mold steel, the bracket 33 rotates on the horizontal plate 32, so that the mold steel is always in a horizontal state. As the mold steel mounting frame 3 transports the mold steel downward, the mold steel can be supported by the carrier rake 57, so as to take the mold steel off the mold steel mounting frame 3. When the mold steel is placed on the carrier rake 57, under the action of the gravity of the mold steel, the lifting plate 55 is driven downward by the lifting rod 56, so that the return spring 54 is stretched, and the carrier rake 57 places the mold steel heated to completion in the cooling liquid tank 4 for cooling. Conversely, once the mold steel is separated from the carrier rake 57, under the good elastic performance of the return spring 54, the lifting plate 55 can drive the lifting rod 56 and the carrier rake 57 to move upward and reset.
[0040] It can be understood that the core function of the horizontal plate 32 is to realize the "dynamic horizontal keeping" and "automatic unloading" of the mold steel. Dynamic horizontal keeping: the horizontal plate 32 is connected with the supporting rod 31 through the rotating shaft, so that the whole bracket 33 can swing slightly. When the chain plate conveyor 2 drives the mold steel mounting frame 3 to run, especially through the turnover plate 11 at the inlet and outlet of the heating box 1. The swing design of the horizontal plate 32 can be self-adaptively adjusted to ensure that the mold steel thereon basically keeps horizontal in various working conditions, preventing the mold steel from sliding or being unevenly stressed due to inclination.
[0041] Automatic unloading: as shown in the description and Figure 4 and Figure 5 When the mold steel mounting frame 3 runs to the above of the landing mechanism 5, under the action of the gravity of the mold steel, the horizontal plate 32 will rotate, so that the mold steel is lowered in a horizontal state. This action helps the mold steel to cross the carrier rake 57 stably and smoothly, and completes the automatic handover from the mounting frame to the quenching station, avoiding rigid collision.
[0042] In addition, it should be noted that in the initial stage, the external force for turning over the turnover plate 11 is provided by the jacking rod 34; when the mold steel advances to a specific position, the turnover plate 11 contacts with the horizontal plate 32, at which time the external force is transferred to the horizontal plate 32. The turnover plate 11 is mainly made of light and heat-insulating material. Due to the light weight, only a small pushing force is needed to turn it over. During the movement of the horizontal plate 32 with the chain plate conveyor 2, one end of the horizontal plate 32 can turn over the turnover plate 11. Under the limiting action of the bracket 33 (as shown in Figure 3 ), even if the horizontal plate 32 drives the bracket 33 to tilt slightly, it will not cause the mold steel loaded thereon to fall off.
[0043] After the mold steel on the supporting rake 57 is cooled, the electric hydraulic device 62 is started, the hydraulic rod of the electric hydraulic device 62 is retracted, the lifting rail 65 is moved up, the lifting rail 65 drives the shaft rod 68 to move up in the rail groove 64 through the fixed seat 67, see Figure 6 With Figure 8 When the supporting rake 66 moves up, the supporting rake 66 supports the mold steel placed on the supporting rake 57 and moves up because the rake teeth on the supporting rake 66 and the supporting rake 57 are staggered. Figure 10 Under the guidance and constraint of the rail groove 64, the I-shaped sliding block 69 can slide left and right inside the lifting rail 65.
[0044] When the supporting rake 66 moves to the position as shown in Figure 9 When the supporting rake 66 continues to move down, the rake teeth on the supporting rake 66 pass through the gap between the adjacent two rotating rollers 83 and move down, so that the mold steel supported on the supporting rake 66 is placed on the rotating rollers 83.
[0045] When the supporting rake 66 continues to move down, that is, the fixed seat 67 and the shaft rod 68 move down, the fixed seat 67 drives the connecting plate 73 to move down, the connecting plate 73 drives the gear 72 to rotate through the rack 74, the gear 72 drives one of the rotating rollers 83 to rotate through the rotating rod 71, all the rotating rollers 83 rotate synchronously and in the same direction under the action of the chain transmission structure 84, and the mold steel is transported through the rotating rollers 83. Then, the supporting rake 66 is reset through the electric hydraulic device 62, in this process, the gear 72 is not rotated by the rack 74, the tooth blocks on the rack 74 are flipped up under the action of the rotating shaft, and once the rack 74 is staggered with the gear 72, the tooth blocks on the rack 74 are flipped and reset under the action of the torsional spring 75.
