After cooling in the quenching oil pool for a certain period of time, it will be lifted from the quenching oil pool to the ground for air cooling. After the bearing steel ball cools to room temperature, it will be quickly tempered. The time it takes for the bearing steel ball to be taken out of the quenching oil pool and cooled to room temperature is called the air cooling time. The length of the air cooling time determines the content of tempered martensite and residual austenite and the quality of the structure of the bearing steel ball after the first tempering.
[0003] At present, the prior art, authorization announcement number CN202658191U discloses a steel ball cooling and quenching device, in which half of the metal barrel is immersed in the quenching medium. When the steel ball enters the metal barrel, the motor controls the metal barrel to rotate forward, and the steel ball slides on the bottom of the metal barrel. When the steel ball is cooled, the motor controls the metal to reverse, and the steel ball is brought to the highest point under the action of the ball-carrying plate and falls into the ball receiving bucket and flows into the ball loading frame to complete the ball unloading. The steel ball adopts the above-mentioned rolling cooling method, which can make the steel ball dissipate heat evenly, thereby greatly improving the hardness uniformity of the steel ball, especially for steel balls with a diameter larger than, the effect is particularly obvious.
[0004] The above-mentioned prior art also has the following defects: the temperature of the steel ball after quenching is still higher than room temperature, and there is quenching medium on the surface of the steel ball, which needs to be cooled to room temperature and the quenching medium needs to be processed, which makes the production time of the steel ball longer.
