AI Technical Summary
Existing crankshaft quenching equipment fails to effectively control quenching deformation during heating and cooling processes, resulting in uneven stress distribution inside the crankshaft and causing deformation.
By setting multiple phase control zones circumferentially on the connecting rod journal of the crankshaft, and using a servo motor to drive the crankshaft to rotate, the induction heating power is adjusted according to the crankshaft position and speed information to ensure that the power of each phase region matches the phase control zone, thereby achieving temperature uniformity control.
This reduces deformation caused by internal stress in the crankshaft, improves the temperature control accuracy and stability during the quenching process, and ensures the uniformity of the crankshaft's mechanical properties and its service life.
