Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of spring production, in particular to a spring quenching feeding mechanism. Background Art
[0002] A spring is a mechanical part that uses elasticity to work. It is generally made of spring steel and is used to control the movement of mechanical parts, relieve shock or vibration, store energy, measure the size of force, etc. It is widely used in machines and instruments. According to the shape, springs mainly include helical springs, scroll springs, leaf springs, special-shaped springs, etc.
[0003] Among them, leaf springs are spring sheets made of thin steel plates, generally in a rectangular shape. Leaf springs can adapt to different load and stiffness requirements by changing their length, width and thickness. Leaf springs are commonly used in suspension systems of vehicles such as cars and tractors, as well as shock absorbers in train carriages. Leaf springs, also known as leaf springs or automotive leaf springs, are the most widely used elastic elements in automotive suspensions. The advantages of leaf springs include simple structure, reliable operation, low cost and easy maintenance. The production process of leaf springs generally includes cutting, drilling, ear curling, quenching, tempering, shot peening, assembly, pre-stressing, painting and other steps.
[0004] Spring quenching is a heat treatment process, the main purpose of which is to improve the strength and hardness of the spring, enhance its deformation and fatigue resistance, and reduce the possibility of deformation and fatigue fracture. The principle of quenching is to heat the spring to a certain temperature range under high temperature conditions to make it reach the austenite state, and quickly cool it to room temperature to make the metal change to the martensite state, thereby obtaining a material with high strength and hardness.
[0005] During the spring quenching process, the heating temperature and cooling rate need to be strictly controlled to ensure the ideal organizational structure and performance. However, after the springs are heated, due to batch production, the springs will be continuously placed in the coolant for cooling. Multiple spring steel plates are easily stacked together, affecting the quenching effect. In view of this, the present application proposes a spring quenching feeding mechanism. Utility Model Content
