Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of metal processing and manufacturing, in particular to a tooling for improving the quenching effect of the inner wall of a large flange. Background Art
[0002] Flange quenching is a heat treatment process in which the flange is heated above the critical temperature, held for a period of time, and then rapidly cooled to obtain the required structure and properties. Specifically, when quenching the flange, it needs to be heated to a temperature above Ac3 or Ac1, held for a period of time to make all or part of it austenitized, and then rapidly cooled to below Ms (or isothermally near Ms) at a cooling rate greater than the critical cooling rate for martensite (or bainite) transformation. During this process, temperature, holding time, and cooling rate are all key parameters, which will affect the structure and properties after quenching.
[0003] Due to the thick cylindrical entity of the flange shaft and the high heat capacity of the material, during induction quenching, large thermal deformation will occur in the inner hole, which will in turn affect subsequent internal spline broaching operations or other finishing steps.
[0004] It is desired to provide a tooling for improving the quenching effect of the inner wall of a large flange, in order to solve the above technical problems. Summary of the Utility Model
[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a tooling for improving the quenching effect of the inner wall of a large flange, which can effectively ensure the cooling effect during the quenching of the overall large flange.

[0009] Positioning blocks are fixed on both sides of the rear end of the flange support area. The facing side surfaces of the two positioning blocks are arc-shaped structures, and the two arc-shaped structures are adapted to the flange end of the large flange to be supported;
[0010] The periphery of the submersible pump support area is evenly provided with protective plates;
[0011] The submersible pump mechanism includes a submersible pump and a connecting pipe;
[0012] The submersible pump is arranged in the submersible pump support area, and the water inlet faces downward;
[0013] The water inlet of the connecting pipe is connected to the water outlet of the submersible pump. The water outlet of the connecting pipe is horizontally arranged and points to the first fence. The height of the water outlet of the connecting pipe is adapted to the through hole at the flange end of the large flange to be quenched.
[0014] Preferably, baffles are provided on the sides of the two positioning blocks facing the first fence.

[0024] The following further describes the present utility model with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments.
[0025] As Figure 2 shown, a tooling for improving the quenching effect of the inner wall of a large flange includes a support frame 1 and a submersible pump mechanism.
[0026] The support frame 1 is divided into a flange support area 2 and a submersible pump support area 3 along its length direction.
[0027] As Figure 1As shown, the front end of the flange support area 2 has a first fence 4, and both ends of the top of the first fence 4 have baffles 5. The two baffles 5 are obliquely welded to both ends of the top of the first fence 4, with the upper end being larger and the lower end being smaller.
[0028] On both sides of the rear end of the flange support area 2, positioning blocks 6 are fixed. The facing sides of the two positioning blocks 6 are arc surface structures 7, and the two arc surface structures 7 are adapted to the flange ends of the large flange to be supported.
[0029] In this embodiment, there are baffles 8 on the sides of the two positioning blocks 6 facing the first fence, effectively preventing the connection end of the large flange from slipping off the arc surface structure.
[0030] In this embodiment, a reinforcing bar 9 is welded on the flange support area 2. One end of the reinforcing bar 9 is welded to the middle position of the top of the first fence 4, and the other end is welded to the middle position of the rear end of the flange support area 2; thus effectively improving the strength of the flange support area.
[0031] The periphery of the submersible pump support area 3 is evenly provided with a protective plate 10.
[0032] The submersible pump mechanism includes a submersible pump 11 and a connecting pipe 12; the submersible pump 11 is arranged in the submersible pump support area 3, and its water inlet faces downward; the water inlet of the connecting pipe 12 is connected to the water outlet of the submersible pump 11, the water outlet of the connecting pipe 12 is horizontally arranged and points to the first fence 4, and the height of the water outlet of the connecting pipe 12 is adapted to the through hole of the flange end of the large flange to be quenched.
[0033] In this embodiment, a protective net 13 is arranged at the water inlet of the submersible pump 11, effectively preventing sundries in the quenching pool from entering the submersible pump and causing damage.
[0034] In this embodiment, lifting rings 14 are arranged on both sides of the support frame 1, facilitating the external crane to lift the support frame and place it in the quenching pool.
[0035] As Figure 3 As shown, when quenching the large flange, first load the heat-treated large flange 15 on the flange support area 2 of the support frame 1, and make the curved surface of the flange end of the large flange 15 support on the arc surface structures 7 on the two positioning blocks 6. The baffles 8 on the two positioning blocks 6 play a limiting role for the flange. The front end of the large flange 15 supports on the top of the first fence 4 and is limited by the two baffles 5. Transfer the support frame loaded with the large flange to the quenching pool by a crane, start the submersible pump 11, and the water outlet of the connecting pipe 12 connected to the submersible pump 11 is aligned with the through hole of the large flange, accelerating the flow of the cooling water and effectively ensuring the cooling effect at the through hole of the large flange.
