Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of vehicle component manufacturing equipment, in particular to a material pulling mechanism of a quenching furnace. Background Art

[0002] Forgings are an important category of vehicle components because their manufacturing process is relatively complex and the workpiece performance is better. For example, forged wheels have higher strength and lighter weight than cast wheels of the same shape. Therefore, forged parts are usually used as optional accessories in higher-end models.

[0003] During the production process, forgings need to be quenched after the blank is forged. In the production enterprise, the quenching process is heated by a quenching furnace and then placed in a quenching pool for rapid cooling.

[0004] When heat treating forgings, after the forgings are heated in a high-temperature furnace, they need to be pulled out of the high-temperature furnace for subsequent quenching. Since the workpieces are hot forgings and the temperature is very high, the workers have a lot of labor intensity when using pliers to take and place the forgings. In addition, the working environment is a high-temperature environment and the working conditions are relatively poor. It is also easy for workers to get burned when pulling forgings, which poses a safety hazard. Especially when the forgings are contained in a material frame, the material frame is large in size and weight, and it is very inconvenient to pull or hoist them manually. At the same time, due to the existence of the quenching pool in front of the furnace, the puller cannot directly enter the furnace to pull the forgings. Summary of the invention
