Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of aluminum alloy profile quenching technology, specifically to a rapid quenching device for aluminum alloy profiles. Background Technology

[0002] Aluminum alloy profiles refer to aluminum products made from aluminum alloy as raw material, processed into specific cross-sectional shapes (non-circular cross-sections) through plastic forming processes such as extrusion, rolling, and drawing. During the processing of aluminum alloy profiles, a quenching treatment is required.

[0003] A search revealed a Chinese patent with application number "CN202211298720.1," which specifically describes a process for strengthening aluminum profiles for tents. The process includes a quenching box, with a first pipe fixedly connected to one side of the bottom of the quenching box. A water pump and a cooling tank are fixedly connected to the quenching box, and the end of the first pipe furthest from the quenching box is connected to the inlet of the water pump. This patent, by setting up a quenching box and a first spray component, allows the water pump to spray coolant onto the basket containing the heated aluminum profile as it moves downwards from the quenching furnace. This sprays coolant through nozzles on a fifth pipe, pre-cooling the aluminum profile entering the quenching box and effectively reducing the formation of a superheated vapor film on the surface of the aluminum profile submerged in coolant.

[0004] Existing technology uses a quenching chamber to cool the profiles. The profiles are then suspended inside the chamber using a basket, which directly controls their descent. This swaying can cause the profiles to wobble, leading to inconsistent rupture times of the surface vapor film when the basket is immersed in the coolant. Waving profiles may enter the boiling stage earlier than stable profiles, resulting in significant differences in cooling rates between different profiles in the same batch, and even between different parts of the same profile. This ultimately leads to uneven hardness and affects the overall structural strength of the tent's aluminum profiles. Summary of the Invention
