[0006] The utility model uses a high-temperature pump to transport the quenching oil into a detachable plate heat exchanger through a pipeline. The plate heat exchanger is provided with multiple groups of heat exchange plates. The cold and hot fluids are separated on both sides of the heat exchange plates for heat exchange through the concave-convex patterns on the surface of the plates and the through holes at the four corners, as well as gaskets. The contact area of the heat exchange plates is large, so the plate heat exchanger has an extremely high heat exchange effect. Its heat transfer coefficient is 3-5 times higher than that of the tube heat exchanger, and the heat recovery rate can be as high as more than 90%. In addition, the structure is compact and light, and the floor space occupied is one-third of that of the tube heat exchanger, so the cooling effect is extremely efficient.

[0008] A radiator can also be added to the detachable plate heat exchanger shell, and a cooling fan with an air outlet facing the radiator can be set for air cooling, so as to achieve a mixed cooling effect of air cooling and water cooling, further improve the cooling efficiency of the quenching oil, and improve the quality of workpiece quenching.

[0018] The scale and carbon black generated during the daily quenching process will continue to deposit in the quenching oil. If not cleaned in time, it is easy to breed bacteria. Setting a filter at the quenching oil inlet can remove various impurities in the quenching oil, so that the quenching oil meets the standards for reuse, prolonging the service life of the quenching oil, reducing the consumption of quenching oil and saving costs.
[0019] The utility model is mainly composed of a high-temperature pump, a valve, a plate heat exchanger and a pipeline. The high-temperature pump is mainly used for the circulation of quenching oil, and the plate heat exchanger is mainly used for cooling the quenching oil. One path is for quenching oil, and the other path is for cooling water. The quenching oil is driven by the high-temperature pump to efficiently cool down the temperature in the plate heat exchanger to achieve temperature stability of the quenching oil, thereby effectively ensuring the hardness of the workpiece quenching and improving product quality. In addition, the cooling tower is used to recycle cooling water, which can save water resources and reduce production costs.
