Description
Technical Field

[0002] Metal heat treatment is a process of changing the internal structure and properties of metals by heating and cooling them, including annealing, quenching, and tempering. Annealing means heating the metal to a certain temperature, holding it for a period of time, and then slowly cooling it to improve the machinability of the metal, reduce hardness, and eliminate internal stress. Quenching is heating the metal to a high temperature and then quickly immersing it in a cooling medium to increase the hardness and strength of the metal. External splines used in mechanical components that need to transmit torque also need to be heat-treated to enhance their hardness, wear resistance, and fatigue resistance.
[0003] External splines are components used in mechanical structures to support and connect different mechanical components and structures. The main function of such support columns is to provide connection and transmission of force, while also playing a role in support and stability. External spline support columns are widely used in fields such as mechanical equipment, engineering structures, and vehicles, and have important functional roles.

However, their positioning mechanisms are mostly fixedly installed and cannot be adjusted to position different locations to change and reduce the impact caused by the clamping blocks during heat treatment, resulting in a decrease in product quality and yield, an increase in production losses, and economic losses.

[0031] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0032] Please refer to the attached Figure 1 -attached Figure 3 As shown in the figure, an embodiment provided by the present invention: an external spline support column for metal heat treatment, including a base plate 1. Heat conduction holes 3 are provided on the outer walls of the base plate 1. A fixed column 12 is fixedly connected to the middle of the base plate 1. Chutes 15 are provided on the outer walls of the fixed column 12. A cross block 13 is slidably connected to the inner walls of the chutes 15. A second threaded rod 14 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the cross block 13. An outward end of the cross block 13 is fixedly connected to a limiting ring 10. A plurality of heat conduction holes 9 are provided on the outer walls of the limiting ring 10. A bolt 5 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the limiting ring 10. A clamping block 4 is fixedly connected to the inward side of the bolt 5. A margin limiting device 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 1 near the edge. The margin limiting device 2 is used to prevent the object from being disengaged due to thermal expansion and contraction. A groove handle 16 is provided on the front side of the base plate 1. A plurality of limiting rings 10 are fixedly connected at the same horizontal height;
[0033] Specifically, a groove handle 16 is provided on the front side of the base plate 1, so that it can still be used at high temperatures, which is convenient for operators to move and adjust it during the heat treatment process. The heat conduction holes 9 and the heat conduction holes 3 can help to heat up and dissipate heat during and after the heat treatment process respectively, and at the same time reduce the weight of the base plate 1 and the limiting ring 10. A plurality of chutes 15 are provided on the outer side wall surface of the fixed column 12, so that the cross block 13 can slide therein and adjust its position through the second threaded rod 14.
[0034] Please refer to the attached Figure 3 -attached Figure 5, the allowance limiting device 2 includes a first fixing block 201. The bottom of the first fixing block 201 is fixedly connected to the top of the bottom plate 1. A first threaded rod 202 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the first fixing block 201. The inner end of the first threaded rod 202 is rotatably connected to a first rotating shaft 204. A connecting rod 207 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the first rotating shaft 204. The front end of the connecting rod 207 is rotatably connected to a second rotating shaft 205. The inner side of the second rotating shaft 205 is rotatably connected to a fixing rod 203. A limiting block 206 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixing rod 203. The outer wall of the first rotating shaft 204 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the first fixing block 201. Multiple limiting blocks 206 are all fixedly connected at the same horizontal height;
[0035] Specifically, a first threaded rod 202 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the first fixing block 201. By rotating the first threaded rod 202, the first rotating shaft 204 can slide on the inner wall of the first fixing block 201, so that the connecting rod 207 drives the fixing rod 203 to move. The two side limiting blocks 206 cannot close together, so that a certain allowance can be maintained, so that it will not be squeezed and deformed during the process of thermal expansion and contraction. The function of the fixing rod 203 is to convert the rotational motion of the second rotating shaft 205 into the horizontal movement of the limiting block 206.
[0036] Please refer to the appendix Figure 2 - appendix Figure 4 , a special-shaped block 17 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the special-shaped groove 6. The outer end of the special-shaped block 17 is fixedly connected to a rotating handle 7. An anti-slip pad 11 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating handle 7. The outer end of the bolt 5 is fixedly connected to a second fixing block 8. A special-shaped groove 6 is opened in the inner wall of the second fixing block 8. The bottom end of the bottom limiting ring 10 is fixedly connected to the top of the bottom plate 1. The material of the limiting ring 10 is a high-temperature resistant metal material. Legs 18 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom of the bottom plate 1. The inner wall of the fixing column 12 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the second threaded rod 14;
[0037] Specifically, legs 18 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom of the bottom plate 1, which increases the stability of the device and prevents the bottom plate 1 from sliding or tilting during use. The special-shaped block 17 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the special-shaped groove 6, so that the rotation of the special-shaped block 17 can drive the rotation of the special-shaped groove 6 when inserted, and when heat treatment is carried out, it is pulled out to prevent damage caused by high temperature. After the heat treatment is completed, it can be quickly inserted to release the limit on the object.
[0038] Working principle: When heat treatment is required for an object, first place it between the two clamping blocks 4 within the limit ring 10. Then, twist the rotating handle 7 to drive the special-shaped block 17 to rotate, causing the bolt 5 to rotate, and thus the second fixing block 8 to rotate together. After completing the positioning, pull it out. Then, rotate the second threaded rod 14 to make the cross block 13 slide within the chute 15, adjusting the position of the cross block 13 on the fixed column 12, so as to position different positions of the object. During and after heat treatment, the first heat conduction hole 3 and the second heat conduction hole 9 ensure the introduction and dissipation of heat while reducing...
[0039] When the thermal expansion and contraction effect of the object undergoing heat treatment is obvious, rotate the first threaded rod 202 to drive the first rotating shaft 204 to slide within the first fixing block 201, thereby pushing the two laterally connected second rotating shafts 205 to the two sides or pulling them towards the middle, causing the fixing rod 203 to drive the limiting block 206 to move closer to the middle to complete secondary positioning, and the limiting block 206 cannot be fully closed to leave a certain margin to prevent extrusion deformation.
[0040] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
