DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] The following is combined with Figure 1-2 The embodiments of the present utility model are described in detail.

[0017] A non-oiling mechanism for transferring a fork arm of an oil quenching furnace comprises two parallel brackets 1, a material platform 11 is arranged between the two brackets 1, and a support block 10 is arranged on the upper part of the material platform 11; a material platform lifting mechanism for driving the material platform 11 to move up and down is arranged on the bracket 1; a lifting platform 2 is arranged on the left and right sides of the material platform 11, and a fork arm lifting mechanism for driving the lifting platform 2 to move up and down is arranged on the bracket 1, a fork arm opening and closing guide rail 3 is arranged on the upper part of the lifting platform 2, two sliding seats 4 are slidably arranged on the fork arm opening and closing guide rail 3, a slide rail 8 is connected between the upper parts of the two corresponding sliding seats 4 on the left and right, a fork arm 9 is arranged on the slide rail 8, and the two fork arms 9 are respectively located on the two sides of the support block 10, and also include a fork arm moving mechanism for driving the fork arm 9 to move on the slide rail 8, and a fork arm opening and closing mechanism for controlling the two fork arms 9 to move relatively close or away, and the overall device is installed in the quenching chamber.

[0018] When the material in the heating chamber is heated, the fork arm lifting mechanism controls the lifting platform 2 to move downward, so that the fork arm 9 descends. After descending to the right position, the fork arm moving mechanism drives the fork arm 9 to move toward the heating chamber. After the fork arm 9 extends into the heating chamber, the fork arm 9 is controlled to rise by the fork arm lifting mechanism. During the rising process, the fork arm 9 lifts the material. At this time, the fork arm 9 is driven to retract by the fork arm moving mechanism, and the fork arm 9 carries the material to move toward the quenching chamber. When the fork arm 9 is retracted to the right position, the fork arm lifting mechanism drives the fork arm 9 to descend again. During the descent, the material is placed on the support block 10 of the material platform 11, and the material is supported by the support block 10, and the fork arm 9 is separated from the material. The fork arm opening and closing mechanism controls the two forks 9 to move relatively far away, so that the fork arm 9 leaves the bottom of the material, so as not to affect the descent of the material. The material platform lifting mechanism controls the material platform 11 to descend and immerse it in the quenching oil, thereby completing the entire quenching transfer process. The fork arm 9 does not enter the oil with the material, reducing the contamination of the quenching oil to the fork arm 9.

[0019] Preferably, the material platform lifting mechanism includes a driving motor 17, an upper shaft 18 and a lower shaft 19 are rotatably arranged between the upper and lower parts of the two brackets 1, respectively, the driving motor 17 is drivingly connected to the upper shaft 18, sprockets 21 are arranged on the upper shaft 18 and the lower shaft 19, a chain 20 is connected between the sprockets 21 on the upper shaft 18 and the lower shaft 19, and the upper shaft 18 and the lower shaft 19 are synchronously rotated by the cooperation of the chain 20 and the sprocket 21, and a connecting block connected to the chain 20 is arranged on the material platform 11. The driving motor 17 drives the upper shaft 18 to rotate, and the upper shaft 18 drives the chain 20 to move, thereby driving the material platform 11 to move up and down through the connecting block.

[0020] Preferably, a material table lifting guide rail 22 is provided on the inner side of the bracket 1, and the material table 11 is slidably set on the material table lifting guide rail 22. The cooperation between the material table 11 and the material table lifting guide rail 22 provides smooth and accurate guidance.

[0021] Preferably, the fork arm lifting mechanism includes a dual-axis motor 26 and two groups of lifting components, the two groups of lifting components are respectively located above the two lifting platforms 2, the lifting components include a steering gear 27 and two spiral screw lifting mechanisms 24, the output shaft of the steering gear 27 is connected to the spiral pair of one of the spiral screw lifting mechanisms 24 for driving, a transmission rod 25 is connected between the two spiral screw lifting mechanisms 24, the transmission rod 25 is connected to the spiral pairs of the two spiral screw lifting mechanisms 24 for transmission, the two spiral screw lifting mechanisms 24 are respectively located above the two ends of the lifting platform 2, the spiral screw lifting mechanism 24 is driven and connected with a connecting rod 23, fixed blocks 5 are provided at both ends of the upper part of the lifting platform 2, the lower end of the connecting rod 23 is hinged to the fixed block 5, and the motor shafts at both ends of the dual-axis motor 26 are respectively connected to the input shafts of the two steering gears 27. The motor shafts at both ends of the dual-axis motor 26 drive the diverters 27 on both sides respectively, so that the diverters 27 drive the corresponding screw screw lifting mechanisms 24, and the screw screw lifting mechanisms 24 are then transmitted through the transmission rods 25. The screw screw lifting mechanisms 24 operate synchronously, so that the two lifting platforms 2 are lifted and lowered synchronously to ensure that the fork arm 9 will not deflect during the up and down movement.

[0022] Preferably, sliders 7 are connected to both ends of the lifting platform 2, and the sliders 7 are slidably set on the fork arm lifting guide rails 6. The cooperation between the sliders 7 and the fork arm lifting guide rails 6 makes the lifting platform 2 less likely to shake during lifting and lowering, and the lifting and lowering are stable.

[0023] Preferably, the fork arm opening and closing mechanism includes a hydraulic cylinder 12, a rotating seat 13 is connected to the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 12, a rotating wheel 16 is rotatably arranged on the rotating seat 13, a connecting plate 14 is connected to the side of the sliding seat 4, a vertically arranged waist-shaped hole 15 is opened on the connecting plate 14, and the rotating wheel 16 is arranged in the waist-shaped hole 15. The setting of the waist-shaped hole 15 prevents the connecting plate 14 from colliding with the rotating wheel 16 when the lifting platform 2 is lifted or lowered. When the fork arm 9 needs to be opened and closed, the extension and contraction of the piston rod is controlled by the hydraulic cylinder 12, and the rotating wheel 16 acts on the connecting plate 14, thereby driving the sliding seat 4 to move along the fork arm opening and closing guide rail 3, so as to achieve the approach or distance between the two fork arms 9.

[0024] Preferably, the fork arm moving mechanism may be a cylinder disposed on the slide rail 8 , the piston rod of the cylinder being connected to the fork arm 9 , and the cylinder drives the fork arm 9 to move on the slide rail 8 by controlling the extension and retraction of its piston rod.
