The water guide frame 9 and the rotating rod 11 are on the same horizontal plane, and a plurality of nozzles 7 for spraying water to the shift fork are installed on the side walls of the water guide frame 9 close to each other. A water pipe connector 8 for connecting a water supply pipe is installed on the end of the water guide frame 9 away from the rotating column 5 through the side wall of the box body 1, and a drainage pipe 10 for drainage is installed at the lower end of the side wall of the box body 1. When the rotating column 5 rotates, the shift fork passes between the center position of the U-shaped high-frequency heating coil 4 and the two water guide frames 9.

[0028] The fixing mechanism includes a top plate 13 corresponding to the mounting groove 6 one by one, the top plate 13 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the mounting groove 6, a spring 12 is installed at one end of the top plate 13 close to the center of the rotating column 5, and the end of the spring 12 away from the top plate 13 is installed at the bottom of the mounting groove 6, a through hole 15 is opened on one of the side walls of the mounting groove 6, a card plate 14 for blocking, squeezing and fixing the connecting part of the shift fork is slidably connected on the inner wall of the through hole 15, a fixing plate 16 is installed through the through hole 15 at one end of the card plate 14 away from the mounting groove 6, a tension spring 18 for pulling the fixing plate 16 close to the rotating column 5 is installed on the side wall of the fixing plate 16 close to the rotating column 5, the end of the tension spring 18 away from the fixing plate 16 is installed on the end surface of the rotating column 5, and a pull ring 17 is installed at one end of the fixing plate 16 away from the rotating column 5 for facilitating the staff to pull the fixing plate 16.

[0029] When fixing the shift fork, the staff pulls the pull ring 17, the pull ring 17 drives the fixed plate 16 to move, the fixed plate 16 drives the card plate 14 to move, and stretches the tension spring 18, so that the card plate 14 opens the mounting groove 6, and then the staff inserts the connecting part of the shift fork into the inside of the mounting groove 6, the shift fork pushes the top plate 13 to move, the top plate 13 compresses the spring 12, and then releases the pull ring 17.

After the shift fork passes through the U-shaped high-frequency heating coil 4, the motor 3 rotates quickly to move the shift fork heated by the U-shaped high-frequency heating coil 4 between the two water guide frames 9, and the water of the delivery pipe is transported to the inside of the water guide frame 9 through the water pipe connector 8. The water guide frame 9 sprays water onto the heated shift fork through the nozzle 7 to quench the shift fork. While the shift fork is quenching, a new shift fork will move to the U-shaped high-frequency heating coil 4, and then the shift fork will continue to be rotated to move the shift fork to the opening 2. The staff moves the shift fork out of the mounting groove 6 and fixes the new shift fork on the mounting groove 6, thereby realizing continuous heat treatment processing of the shift fork.
