Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of bolt sleeve manufacturing technology, and in particular to a heat treatment apparatus for manufacturing bolt sleeves for wind turbine blades. Background Technology

[0002] Bolt: A mechanical part, a cylindrical threaded fastener fitted with a nut. Heat treatment refers to a metal heat treatment process in which materials are heated, held at a certain temperature, and cooled in a solid state to obtain the desired structure and properties.

[0003] A search revealed a heat treatment device for bolt manufacturing, disclosed in Publication No. CN220555706U. The device includes a heat treatment chamber, a support frame fixedly mounted on the top of the chamber, and a bearing mechanism at the bottom of the support frame. The bearing mechanism includes a second motor fixedly mounted on the top of the support frame, a support plate fixedly mounted on the bottom of the support frame, a threaded rod connected to the support plate and the support frame via a bearing, a fixed plate threadedly mounted on the outside of the threaded rod, a square rod connected to the top of the fixed plate via a bearing, a third gear fixedly mounted on the outside of the square rod, a fourth gear on one side of the third gear, the third gear meshing with the fourth gear, and a connecting rod fixedly connected to the bottom of the fourth gear. The beneficial effects of this invention are: rapid heat dissipation of the bolt body, improved efficiency of heat treatment, diverse heat treatment functions, high practicality, and convenient and quick bolt removal.

[0004] In the aforementioned existing technical solutions, during the cooling stage, bolts are densely placed on the fixed rods of the support frame. A unidirectional horizontal airflow cannot penetrate and evenly cover all bolts, especially those located on the leeward side of the airflow and blocked by bolts in front, resulting in a significant reduction in their cooling effect. This leads to inconsistent cooling rates for bolts in different locations within the chamber, and even for different faces of the same bolt.

[0005] Therefore, we propose a heat treatment device for manufacturing wind turbine blade bolt sleeves. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The present invention mainly addresses the technical problems existing in the prior art and provides a heat treatment device for manufacturing wind turbine blade bolt sleeves.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a heat treatment device for manufacturing wind turbine blade bolt sleeves, comprising a heat treatment box, a support frame provided on the top of the heat treatment box, and a liftable connecting rod installed on the support frame; a placement frame for placing bolt sleeves is fixedly connected to the side wall of the connecting rod; a rotation drive assembly for driving the connecting rod to rotate is provided on the support frame; and a cooling mechanism arranged around the connecting rod is provided inside the heat treatment box.

[0008] Preferably, there are at least two placement frames; the placement frames are provided with multiple placement holes for inserting bolt sleeves.

[0009] Preferably, a mounting plate is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting rod; the device also includes a hydraulic cylinder fixed to the support frame, with the end of the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder connected to the mounting plate.

[0010] Preferably, the rotary drive assembly includes a motor fixed to a support frame; the output shaft of the motor is connected to a bevel gear one, which meshes with a bevel gear two; the bevel gear two is fixedly connected to a vertical rotating shaft, the bottom end of which is fixedly connected to the top of the cylinder body of the hydraulic cylinder.

[0011] Preferably, the side wall of the connecting rod is provided with two sets of placement frames spaced apart vertically, each set containing two placement frames arranged in a cross shape.

[0012] Preferably, at least one limiting guide rod is also fixedly connected to the mounting plate, the limiting guide rod extends vertically upward and passes through the support frame to slide with it.

[0013] This invention provides a heat treatment apparatus for manufacturing wind turbine blade bolt sleeves. It has the following beneficial effects: 1. This heat treatment apparatus for manufacturing wind turbine blade bolt sleeves utilizes a cross-shaped arrangement of placement frames, with the bolt sleeves placed in their placement holes, ensuring that the upper and lower layers of workpieces are spatially staggered. This design effectively solves the problem of mutual obstruction between multiple layers of workpieces during heat treatment, ensuring that each bolt sleeve, especially those in the lower layer, is fully exposed to the cooling airflow or medium. This achieves uniformity in overall heat treatment and improves the consistency of product quality.

[0014] 2. This heat treatment device for manufacturing wind turbine blade bolt sleeves uses a hydraulic cylinder to drive the lifting and lowering of the placement frame and the workpiece as a whole, facilitating the placement of the workpiece into the heat treatment chamber for heating or lifting it to a suitable position for cooling. Simultaneously, a motor drives a bevel gear set to rotate the entire supporting mechanism horizontally. The combination of lifting and rotation functions allows the workpiece to be adjusted to the optimal cooling position during the cooling stage, while also ensuring that all surfaces receive cooling airflow evenly during rotation, improving cooling efficiency and uniformity, and shortening the production cycle.

[0015] 3. This heat treatment device for manufacturing wind turbine blade bolt sleeves utilizes a surround cooling system consisting of a cooler, an air outlet pipe, and a U-shaped manifold, with multiple air outlets on the side wall of the manifold. When the workpiece-bearing frame rotates in the central area of ​​the manifold, cool air is simultaneously and evenly blown onto the workpiece from multiple directions. This active, surround, multi-point cooling method, compared to unilateral or one-way cooling, can remove heat from the workpiece more quickly, achieving rapid and uniform cooling after quenching or tempering, thus meeting the performance requirements of wind turbine bolt sleeves.

[0016] 4. This heat treatment device for manufacturing wind turbine blade bolt sleeves allows for easy loading and unloading of workpieces from above. The switching between heating and cooling positions is achieved via hydraulic lifting, resulting in a high degree of automation. Combined with a cross-shaped placement frame and surrounding cooling, processing efficiency is high. The entire device is highly integrated, easy to operate, and highly practical, making it suitable for mass production of wind turbine blade bolt sleeves. Attached Figure Description

Multiple air outlets 304 are connected to the wall opposite the collecting pipe 303. The blowing end of the air outlet 304 blows towards the placement frame 701.

[0023] Example 1: A heat treatment apparatus for manufacturing wind turbine blade bolt sleeves, such as... Figures 1-4As shown, the device includes a heat treatment chamber 1. A U-shaped support frame 2 is fixedly connected to the center of the top wall of the heat treatment chamber 1. A motor 4 is fixedly connected to the top wall of the support frame 2. The output shaft of the motor 4 is located on one side and is fixedly connected to a bevel gear 401. A bevel gear 402 is meshed on the bevel gear 401. A rotating shaft 403 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the bevel gear 402. The rotating shaft 403 passes through the top wall of the support frame 2 and is rotatably connected to the top wall of the support frame 2. A hydraulic cylinder 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating shaft 403. A mounting plate 601 is fixedly connected to the extended end of the hydraulic cylinder 6. A connecting rod 7 is fixedly connected to the center of the bottom wall of the mounting plate 601. Two sets of placement frames 701 are fixedly connected to the two side walls of the connecting rod 7. The two placement frames 701 are fixedly connected to the side walls of the connecting rod 7 in a cross shape. On the surface, the placement frames 701 are arranged in a cross shape to prevent the bolt sleeves placed in the inner cavity of the upper placement frame 701 from obstructing the threaded sleeves placed in the inner cavity of the lower placement frame 701. Multiple placement holes 702 are evenly spaced on the placement frames 701, and multiple bolt sleeves can be placed through the multiple placement holes 702. A fixing plate 3 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of one side of the heat treatment box 1. A cold air fan 301 is fixedly connected to the top wall of the fixing plate 3. The blowing end of the cold air fan 301 is connected to an air outlet pipe 302. The air outlet pipe 302 passes through the side wall of the heat treatment box 1 and is located in the inner cavity of the heat treatment box 1. The blowing end of the air outlet pipe 302 is connected to a collecting pipe 303. The collecting pipe 303 has a U-shaped structure. Multiple air outlets 304 are connected to the wall opposite the collecting pipe 303. The blowing end of the air outlet 304 blows towards the placement frame 701.

[0024] Limiting guide rods 5 are fixedly connected to the top walls of the front and rear ends of the mounting plate 601 and to both sides of the extended end of the hydraulic cylinder 6. The two limiting guide rods 5 pass through the support frame 2 and can slide on the support frame 2. Stop blocks 501 are fixedly connected to the top walls of the two limiting guide rods 5. Through the cooperation of the two limiting guide rods 5, the mounting plate 601 drives the multiple placement frames 701 on the connecting rod 7 to move up and down more stably.

[0025] Working principle of the invention: In use, the operator first inserts the bolt sleeves of the multiple wind turbine blades to be processed into the placement holes 702 on each placement frame 701. Since the placement frames 701 are distributed in a cross shape around the connecting rod 7, and each layer of placement frames 701 is staggered, all the bolt sleeves are spatially staggered, avoiding obstruction between upper and lower workpieces.

[0026] During use, after the components are assembled, the hydraulic cylinder 6 is activated. The extended end of the hydraulic cylinder 6 retracts, causing all the placement frames 701 and bolt sleeves to descend via the mounting plate 601 and connecting rod 7, allowing them to fully enter the heating station of the heat treatment chamber 1 for heating and heat preservation. During this process, the two limiting guide rods 5 fixed on the mounting plate 601 slide down accordingly, cooperating with the support frame 2 to ensure the stability of the entire lifting and lowering process of the bearing mechanism.

[0027] During use, after the heating and heat preservation processes are completed, the extended end of the hydraulic cylinder 6 extends, lifting the supporting mechanism and its bolt sleeves to a suitable height. Then, the cooling fan 301 is started, and cold air is delivered through the air outlet 302 to the U-shaped surrounding collecting pipe 303, finally being evenly blown out from multiple air outlets 304 on the side wall of the collecting pipe 303. Simultaneously, the motor 4 is started, and the motor 4 drives the rotating shaft 403 to rotate through the meshing of bevel gear one 401 and bevel gear two 402, thereby driving the entire supporting mechanism (including the hydraulic cylinder 6, mounting plate 601, connecting rod 7, and placement frame 701) to slowly rotate in the horizontal plane. This ensures that all bolt sleeves are evenly cooled by the cold air from the surrounding air outlets 304, and the rotation of the bolt sleeves further ensures the uniformity of circumferential cooling, thus achieving efficient and uniform forced air cooling, significantly improving the quality and efficiency of heat treatment.
