Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of steel ball processing, in particular to a quenching cooling device for heat treatment of steel balls. Background Art

[0002] Steel balls are divided into grinding steel balls, forging steel balls, and casting steel balls according to the production and processing technology. According to the processing materials, they are divided into bearing steel balls, stainless steel balls, carbon steel balls, copper bearing steel balls, alloy balls, etc. Among them, bearing steel balls are important basic parts of the industry. Alloy steel balls are mainly added with metal elements such as carbon, chromium, manganese, and molybdenum. Steel balls are important basic parts. Under some special conditions, steel balls of special materials are often required to complete the functions required in different environments. After the steel balls are manufactured, they often need high-temperature quenching. Quenching is a heat treatment process. The quenching of steel is a heat treatment process in which the steel is heated to a temperature above the critical temperature Ac3 (hypoeutectoid steel) or Ac1 (hypereutectoid steel), kept warm for a period of time, so that it is fully or partially austenitized, and then cooled to below Ms (or isothermal near Ms) at a cooling rate greater than the critical cooling rate to undergo martensite (or bainite) transformation. The solid solution treatment or heat treatment process with rapid cooling process of materials such as aluminum alloy, copper alloy, titanium alloy, tempered glass is usually called quenching; the steel ball quenching on the market often involves inverting the steel balls into a bucket of water to achieve the quenching effect, but after the quenching is completed, the steel balls need to be manually salvaged, and quenching often generates a lot of heat, causing the water to boil, and there is a certain risk when manually salvaging.

[0003] Patent CN218755893U proposes a quenching cooling device for heat treatment of steel balls. Through the setting of a water spray device, the water consumed by the quenching of the steel balls in the water tank can be replenished, the content of hot water in the water tank can be diluted, and the temperature of the water in the water tank can be reduced. The water-dividing nozzle can disperse the water flow into multiple streams, thereby expanding the area of ​​the water flow, allowing the steel balls to cool down quickly, thereby achieving the quenching effect. Through the setting of several water-dividing nozzles, the water flow can be formed into a jet shape, thereby increasing the contact area between the water flow and the steel balls. Through the setting of the lifting device, the storage frame can achieve the lifting effect, and the storage frame can be placed in the storage frame. The storage frame is filled with high-temperature steel balls and, under the action of the lifting device, descends and immerses into the water tank, thereby uniformly and quickly quenching and cooling the high-temperature steel balls. After quenching and cooling, the storage frame is lifted by the lifting device to make the cooled steel balls leave the water surface for easy subsequent collection. The storage frame is bolted to the lower surface of the inner wall of the water tank so that the storage frame can achieve the effect of lifting and lowering. Through the setting of several spacers, the lower surface of the storage frame can present a hollow effect. The interval between the spacers is smaller than the diameter of the steel balls, so the steel balls will be blocked in the inner cavity of the storage frame, but the water will flow into the storage frame through the gaps between the spacers.

[0004] In the above scheme, the purpose of cooling is achieved by immersing the storage frame filled with high-temperature steel balls in a water tank. However, in this process, the water in the water tank cannot be cooled and discharged in time after absorbing heat. As the temperature in the water tank increases, the cooling effect on the steel balls in the storage frame becomes worse, thereby prolonging the cooling efficiency of the steel balls in the storage frame.

The other end of 31 is connected to the water inlet pipe 19, and the first plug 17 is sealed and inserted inside the drain port 16, and the second plug 110 is sealed and inserted inside the water inlet pipe 19. When using the device, the placement frame 2 is installed on the top of the immersion box 1, and the steel ball is placed inside the placement frame 2.

Through the reciprocating lifting and lowering movement of the placement frame 2, part of the hot water in the immersion box 1 is sent out, and cold water is partially supplemented and sent in, thereby avoiding the continuous increase of the water temperature and maintaining an efficient cooling effect.

[0025] In this embodiment, top plates 22 are fixed on both sides of the placement frame 2, and vertical plates 24 are fixed on the bottom of the top plates 22. A sliding frame 15 is fixed at a position corresponding to the vertical plates 24 on the outer wall of the immersion box 1, and the vertical plates 24 are slidably inserted into the sliding frame 15. An electric push rod 13 is fixed to the outside of the sliding frame 15, and a push plate 14 is fixed to the extended end of the electric push rod 13. A fixing bolt 23 is inserted between the push plate 14 and the top plate 22. The two ends of the placement frame 2 are installed on the push plate 14 through the top plate 22 and the fixing bolts 23, and then the vertical plates 24 are inserted into the sliding frame 15. The electric push rod 13 drives the placement frame 2 to move up and down, and the vertical plates 24 slide along the sliding frame 15 to limit the placement frame 2, thereby increasing the fluidity of the steel balls and the fluidity of the cooling water in the placement frame 2 and accelerating the cooling efficiency.

[0026] In this embodiment, a spray rack 4 is fixed on the top of the immersion box 1, and two rows of nozzles 41 are equidistantly installed on the surface of the spray rack 4. A connecting pipe 42 is fixed on one side of the spray rack 4, and the other end of the connecting pipe 42 is connected to the cold water tank 3.

Cold water is transported to the delivery pipe 11 through the cold water pipes 12, thereby neutralizing the hot water delivered from the delivery pipe 11 and returning it to the cooling chamber of the cold water tank 3, saving energy consumption.

[0029] When using the device, the two ends of the placing frame 2 are installed on the push plate 14 through the top plate 22 and the fixing bolts 23, and then the vertical plate 24 is inserted into the sliding frame 15. The electric push rod 13 drives the placing frame 2 to move up and down, and the vertical plate 24 slides along the sliding frame 15 to limit the placing frame 2, thereby increasing the fluidity of the steel balls and the fluidity of the cooling water in the placing frame 2.

Similarly, when the placing frame 2 moves up, the spring telescopic rod 18 drives the first plugging head 17 to move up, opens the drain port 16, and thus delivers hot water, thereby avoiding the continuous increase of water temperature and maintaining an efficient cooling effect.
